“In other words, the key to stopping the apocalypse might not be ourselves, but rather, we should try to use our own power to completely reform our civilization and change it into… a true civilization, the way it should be!”

“What do you mean?”

The Wolf King frowned deeply.

“After we open this shaft and return to the Holy Mountain Temple, I’ll take you to a secret base left behind by your ancestors, the ancient Turan people. There, you’ll see what the ancient Turan civilization—the real Turan civilization—looks like.”

Meng Chao looked at the Wolf King and said, “Although the individual combat strength of the ancient Turan people might not be as strong as that of the modern Turan orcs wearing totem armor, the myriad of ancient Turan people were closely united, fighting for the same goal, and advancing forward. They worked tirelessly, contributing all of their wisdom, courage, and strength. The miracles they created are completely beyond the comprehension and imagination of the current Turan orcs.

“The ancient Turan people escaped from their mother planet and drifted in the vast sea of stars until they were forced to land in their new home. In the end, they still went astray and fell into the wrong path. I believe that once you learn all the details, you’ll cenainly know how to protect the tinder of their civilization and how to make the Turan civilization flourish again. It’ll then be strong enough to crush the apocalypse.

“Likewise, what happened in Picturesque Orchid Lake is also a lesson for us Earthlings.

“When I return to Dragon City, I will tell the people about the Turan civilization’s story and try my best to prevent the Dragon City civilization from falling into the same vicious cycle that the Turan civilization has for the past ten thousand years.

“This is the only way will we be able to stimulate all the energy hidden in our civilizations and have the chance to change the future… No create a brand-new future!”

The Wolf King stared at Meng Chao deeply.

“I’m not sure what exactly you plan to do, but I smell danger.”

The Wolf King said, “It sounds like you want to touch the parties of interest’s cake?”

“There are many differences in the future that we see, but one thing is the same, which is that the parties of interest who now rule

Dragon City and Picturesque Orchid Lake have neither led our civilization to victory nor prevented the end of the world.”

Meng Chao said, “In that case, what’s wrong with asking the parties of interest to give up a few pieces of their cake to those who have the potential to win and prevent the end of the world?”

“There’s nothing wrong, but it’s going to be difficult.”

The Wolf King said, “Dragon City and Picturesque Orchid Lake have completely different language systems, but there is a maxim that has been passed down from both sides for thousands of years: ‘Cutting off one’s source of income is like killing one’s parents.’ I have never seen a party of interest give up his cake that has been stuffed into his mouth or even swallowed.”

“What if we tell those who have a vested interest that the end of the world is coming?”

Meng Chao said, “We don’t talk about the past. One, it’s because we don’t have any solid evidence and background. No one will believe us.

“Two, our strength is too weak. It’s difficult for us to resist the open and hidden arrows from all directions.

“But now, we have a lot of evidence that proves that even if we have not been reincarnated, we have the ability to ‘foresee the future’ to a certain extent.

“And our combat ability is strong to the that even if the other party is a large-scale interest group, they will have to pay an extremely painful price if they plan to harm us.

“Are you afraid that no one will believe us and that the end of the world will likely come?”

“On the contrary… I’m just afraid that everyone will believe us and that the end of the world will definitely come.”

The Wolf King faintly said, “It seems that the Meng Chao, who has never been modified by the Blood Alliance, is not exactly the Doomsday Blade in my memory. The complete version of the Doomsday Blade would never be as naive as you.

“In this world, the most untrustworthy thing is humanity. What’s even more untrustworthy than humanity is the integrity of those who have benefited from it.

“These are the words that the Doomsday Blade in my memory said before he led us to intercept the higher-ups of the Blood Alliance.

“Do you think that when you deliver news of the ‘upcoming apocalypse’ to those important figures in high positions and they actually believe you in the face of irrefutable evidence, they’ll be enlightened enough? You think they’ll be driven by a sense of crisis and a sense of responsibility, spit out all their vested interests, destroy their families, relieve their troubles, unite as one with the city, and risk their lives to stop the apocalypse together with you?

“Don’t joke around.

“Let’s make it clear in advance that the most destructive power of doom is not the moment the apocalypse arrives, but the moment order collapses before the apocalypse arrives. Everyone is in danger, giving up on themselves, and throwing everything away.

“Just like the confrontation between two armies, the biggest casualties of the losing side do not happen during the moment of fierce battle, but after the collapse. Every one of them tramples on each other on the path of escape.

“It is the instinct of life to seek benefits and avoid harm. People like you and me, who know that the end of the world is coming but are still willing to muster up all our courage and fight to the death in its face, are, after all, a small minority. As for the vast majority of people, especially those parties who have their waists full of bottles and jars, and their stomachs full of cake, asking them to put down their benefits and fight the enemy until the last moment barefooted is even worse than killing them.

“Believe me, once you tell these guys that the end of the world is coming and they believe it, they will be as restless as the rats on a ship when it’s about to sink.

“Some of them will plan ahead and jump onto a larger, sturdier, and more glorious ship with the ocean of light’s support and the ability to summon ten thousand suns from the seemingly invincible Holy Light Temple.

“Some people will start their ‘escape plan’ in advance and plunder resources even more excessively than in my dream. They will build a fleet that can sail far away. Before the apocalypse arrives, they will abandon most of the ordinary people and escape.

“Of course, I believe that many big shots will live and die with Dragon City. After all, their interest groups are like intertwined mandrake trees, deeply rooted in the land of Dragon City. They cannot escape even if that’s what they desire.

“But I don’t think that they will completely obey your will and fight the apocalypse under your command either.

“No, they will never let you be the commander of this Apocalyptic War. They’ll think that you’re just a lucky person who happened to receive the ‘message.’ They’ll look down on you or take you seriously on the surface, but in reality, they’ll be highly wary of you. They’ll never admit that they’ll end up with the future that you and I have seen. They’ll think that they’re a hundred times smarter than you and that they’re the most suitable people to lead the entire civilization in the fight against the apocalypse. By the way, they and their forces can also earn a hundred times more profit through the Apocalyptic War.

“All great men are like that.

“If they weren’t, they wouldn’t be great men.”.
