Chapter 1788 - 1788 Lu Zhongqi's Prophecy



1788 Lu Zhongqi’s Prophecy

Lu Zhongqi’s voice sounded gentle and calm from start to finish.

However, as his gentle and calm voice bounced off the black rock walls, it gradually grew stronger and turned into bloody crimson waves.

“As the saying goes, ‘The lord of the state is the lord of the country; to suffer the bad luck of a nation is to be the king of the world.’ The saying means that if a nation, a country, or even a civilization wants to survive and develop, its leader has no choice but to do dirty, dark, cruel, and despicable things on the people’s behalf.”

Lu Zhongqi continued, “People are both short-sighted and greedy. When order collapses and the world is in turmoil, they yearn for a savior. However, when a savior really saves them from the abyss of suffering, they often despise their savior’s methods. They say he’s too fierce, too cruel, and too dirty.

!!

“Moreover, as the dark and bloody era of humanity gradually passed, the people forgot everything they did to survive in the bloody age like fish that only have seven seconds of memory. They forgot that they were beneficiaries of the radical, cruel, evil, and inhuman policies of the Blood Alliance. Instead, they pushed all sins and responsibilities onto the Blood Alliance.

“Meng Chao, do you know what that’s like?

“It’s like the survivors of a disaster at sea drifting to a desolate Island that is short of resources. To persist until the rescue team arrives, they have to kill each other, and literally, ‘prey on the weak’ by gnawing on the flesh and blood of the dead, the wounded, and the weak.

“In the end, the strongest person among the survivors becomes the leader.

“The leader sets brutal rules, and the survivors aren’t allowed to fight each other.

“The leader leads all the strong and healthy people to gnaw on the dead, the injured, and the weak in an orderly and disciplined manner so that they can increase their strength and build treehouses that can shelter all of them from the wind and rain.

“The leader then forces some survivors to fight the most ferocious snakes, insects, rats, and ants on the deserted island. Some of them end up sacrificing their lives in exchange for a sustainable source of protein.

“Ultimately, under the leader’s iron-fist rule, at least half of the survivors miraculously survive.

“That’s right, this leader is a tyrant through and through.

“He doesn’t have any lofty ideals. He just wants to live, to live by any means possible.

“However, despite what he thinks and does, you cannot deny the fact that without this tyrant, everyone will die!

“Yet, the moment the rescue team appears on the surface of the sea, all the survivors who have survived under the leader’s iron-fist rule raise their sharpened stone axes and stone spears at the leader in unison. You must know that the leader even taught them the way to polish the stone axes and stone spears.

“They kill the leader without any hesitation.

“Plus, they blame all the ugly, evil, cruel, and inhumane things that happened on the deserted island on the leader’s brutality.

“They don’t even need seven seconds. In just one second, they forget the fact that they followed their leader and devoured the dead, the wounded, and the weak.

“They also refuse to think about how they would have turned out without the tyrant.

“No, no, no, no. Meng Chao, don’t think that I’m trying to defend the Blood Alliance by saying all this.

“The Blood Alliance deserves its fate. It’s not a strange or regretful thing for the alliance to be hated, abandoned, and destroyed by the citizens of Dragon City.

“The problem is, do these stupid survivors really think that ‘they’ve escaped the island’?

“Yes, on the surface, after the Blood Alliance was destroyed and replaced by the Survival Committee, which the nine mega corporations formed and controlled, Dragon City entered a golden age of triumphant progress and vigorous development. Even the tsunami-like tides of exotic beasts couldn’t stop us from rolling forward.

“However, only the core members of the Survival Committee managed to see that Dragon City’s explosive and miraculous development was largely due to the solid foundation laid by the Blood Alliance.

“The nine mega corporations, Dragon City University, the alliance of five universities, and the Red Dragon Army have all gnawed on the Blood Alliance’s rich inheritance.

“At the same time, the nine mega corporations and the nine cultivation families behind them have expanded in scale. Now, bloated institutions, infighting, overstaffing, and all kinds of shortcomings have emerged one by one.

“To this day, the nine mega corporations have not only faced unprecedented internal friction but also fierce competition with the Azure Alliance and the Red Dragon Army. Of course, it’s impossible for them to be as dominant and arbitrary as they were in the era of the Blood Alliance. However, without absolute tyrants, their efficiency has plummeted too.

“During the Monster War, the superhumans, who represented the interests of all parties, managed to suppress their selfishness and unite their wills when they faced a common threat against humanity.

“In the ‘post-Monster War era,’ the common enemy was annihilated, and the ambitions of the superhumans who represented the people rapidly expanded like balloons.

“Meng Chao, I heard the declaration you made to all the citizens of Dragon City at the Golden Roc’s construction site. I can roughly guess the kind of agreement you and Shen Yuanbao reached.

“If I’m not wrong, you’re probably hoping that there will be some kind of balance between the nine mega corporations and the Azure Alliance, or between the rich and the poor. With the Red Dragon Army, everyone will lead Dragon City forward in the form of a ‘three-horse carriage,’ right?”

Meng Chao lowered his eyelids to show his agreement.

Lu Zhongqi laughed.

“It’s a beautiful idea, and a young hero like you, who came out of nowhere, is pushing it forward strongly. Perhaps your dream will come true, at least temporarily.”

Lu Zhongqi sighed. “With that said, the three carriages restrict and balance each other, which means that efficiency is sacrificed for stability.

“Once the nine mega corporations, the Azure Alliance, and the Red Dragon Army are all in the Survival Committee, the role of public opinion, especially, will be magnified to the extreme, because only public opinion can break the balance between the three.

“However, as I mentioned earlier, the people have always been shortsighted and greedy. Nobody can constantly satisfy the people except for bottled genies in fairy tales.

“As I’ve said, it’s important to note that we have yet to escape the ‘deserted island.’ We haven’t left this deserted island called the Other World!

“Winning the Monster War and charging out of Monster Mountain Range was only the first step off the beach before venturing into the deeper parts of the island.

“The rescue team on the surface of the seawater is also just an illusory phantom.

“Next, in the exploration of the deserted island and the process of surviving the wilderness, the survivors will certainly need a tyrant to lead and force them to do shameless, cruel, and ruthless things for the sake of survival.

“On such a deserted island, no one can meet all of the survivors’ needs.

“Those who claim that they can satisfy all the needs of the survivors and not require the survivors to pay too much are either fools or liars.

“If they choose such fools and liars as their new leaders, even expecting the three fools and liars to balance each other and work out the best survival strategy together, there will only be one outcome: The annihilation of all the survivors.

“Meng Chao, I believe that you’re righteous and selfless.

“But that doesn’t stop me from seeing your future.

“You will destroy Dragon City’s civilization with your justice!
