I am a living immortal.

Chapter 576 Feelings

It looked like the dragon was just passing by.

The slender figure quickly disappeared to the bottom of the river without making any other movements, and did not notice Su Mu and the others stopping to watch. The dragon seemed to have an anxious look on its face.

I don’t know what happened.

After walking for dozens of kilometers, they encountered dragons again, and there was more than one. They headed in the direction of the first dragon.

"What day is today?"

"Dragon King Banquet?" Su Mu joked.

Xuan Mo shook his head and said, "It should be a troublesome matter. I just heard those dragons talking, some of them were cursing, obviously it's not a good thing."

"This matter must be quite serious as it can even cause trouble to the dragon clan. It's a pity that we still have important things to do, otherwise we could go over and join in the fun." Mirage Dragon said with a bit of regret.

Such a small episode did not stop the few people.

"Come to think of it, with Chengde River in such a state, why didn't the dragon clan intervene to clean it up?" the old goat suddenly asked.

Xuan Mo looked up. "Logically speaking, the dragons should intervene to clean up. After all, the accumulation of these grievances has polluted the water veins to a certain extent. But in fact, not cleaning up is also normal. The Chengde River winds for thousands of miles, and only a small section is polluted. Moreover, the grievances of tens of millions of people accumulate over time. Even the Dragon King will need time to deal with such a huge amount of resentment."

"Besides, they've probably seen what the Demon Slayers are doing. If someone can help, why not? Even if it's a little slow."

"Most dragons are probably like what we just saw, offering a hand when passing by, but not taking the initiative. Dragons are generally more lazy than other races."

While Xuan Mo was explaining, they saw the coast of Lin State.

"In fact, the dragon clan is not without action. Some aquatic creatures will spontaneously clean up the corpses at the bottom of the lake and disperse the resentment by swimming." Su Mu still observed carefully.

“Okay, here we are.”

Almost immediately, we arrived at Linguo, on the other side of the Chengde River. This place couldn't compare to Yujiangguan. Even though Yujiangguan and the surrounding counties were in a state of decline, the dock facilities were complete, and the surrounding area was dotted with lush greenery.

However, this side of the neighboring country is completely unsightly.

The wharf was dilapidated, and few boats were left capable of sailing. Most boatmen took their boats, loaded them with passengers, and never returned. Some sank in the Chengde River, others vanished forever. The remaining boats mostly took desperate measures and wouldn't openly show up at this wharf. They would instead pick up passengers in more secluded locations.

After all, judging from the soldiers stationed at the dock, the neighboring country seems reluctant to let people leave.

Come to think of it, those who leave are all capable.

Now that the country is on the verge of collapse, this is sheer treason. Wei Ming once told Su Mu a joke: The Lin Kingdom even sent envoys to the Yan Dynasty, demanding that the Yan Dynasty repatriate those who had smuggled across. In the Golden Palace, he talked about the bad things these people did, treating all the ministers in the hall as fools.

Of course Yan Chao knew all of what he said, and not only did he know, he also had a complete plan. "You want to teach us how to do things?"

The emperor's words made the envoy leave in disgrace:

"Please recover your territory and then negotiate with me."

A weak nation has no diplomacy. Although the neighboring nation is not dead, its survival is uncertain if it continues like this.

Yan Chao ignored the other party, and the Lin Kingdom had no other choice but to get angry. After all, they were in danger. The Lin Kingdom emperor lost his temper, and the matter was left unresolved.

Now Su Mu had set foot on the land of the neighboring kingdom. Su Mu had seen too many scenes of the last days of dynasties. Each had its own golden age, but the scenes of the last days were all the same.

A sullen, gloomy hue permeated the world, a yellowish filter cast across it. If the Yan Dynasty boasted ultra-high definition, then the Lin Kingdom was worse than standard definition. The difference between the two regions of the same world was truly stark, and incredibly obvious.

Things like national destiny sound illusory and cannot be grasped or seen.

But when it is reflected in reality, we can clearly know that whether a country is strong or weak, fate really exists.

"Next, should we act together or separately?" Su Mu asked everyone.

"Separate, quickly. Bai Ze gave us several coordinates before. These monsters are scattered all over the neighboring country, waiting for an opportunity to strike, preparing for a gluttonous feast. It is said that war is the sorrow of the human race, but it is the carnival of monsters. The world really doesn't waste anything." The resentment of the mirage dragon towards the world, this unscrupulous mother, is extremely great, and he will try his best to slander the other party when he finds a point.

That's right.

After all, the human race is the foundation of the world. As long as this foundation doesn't collapse, it's fine, thriving and continuously developing. But if it collapses, it's nothing. When a whale falls, all things come to life.

Ghosts can crawl out of people's bodies, and people can become the nourishment for the growth of demons and monsters. At the very least, faith can provide a few wild gods. It's a tightly knit system.

Humans are an important part of this. This is a complete ecosystem.

"You're not even a tiny bit behind the world in terms of world creation. The more I think about it, the more terrifying it becomes," Su Mu sighed. The underlying tone of this world is still cruel. For humans, this isn't a world of pure cannibalism, but it could become one if necessary.

The diversity of what the world wants to express can be seen in all aspects.

It's the same kind of subtle change that happens silently. It's another day of sighing at how amazing the world is.

Mirage Dragon didn't deny what Su Mu said. His hatred for the world didn't hinder the world's might. In other words, the world didn't care about Mirage Dragon's hatred, or even the hatred of the innate gods.

Dongtian can be said to be very complete, but compared with the world, it is just a sloppy makeshift team and there is no comparison at all.

Speaking of the world, Su Mu suddenly remembered something. The flourishing Yan Dynasty gave rise to many schools of thought, among which the Su Ran School and the Zi Ran Juan School had already begun to show their prominence.

It was criticized by pedantic old-school scholars as a heretical work. However, in prosperous times, there is never a shortage of new ideas, nor a shortage of people who are receptive to them. The more those pedantic people criticize it, the more people will be drawn to it and support it.

Therefore, during the Yan Dynasty, Su Ran's school of thought was widely admired, and the founder of Li Yan's school of thought also became famous overnight, and was considered one of the representatives of the late-stage rise to prominence.

"Why are you overthinking so much? We should get down to business now," the old goat warned, rolling his eyes. If this continued, the two of them would be able to rant for ages, stretching out and stretching out, ad infinitum. I really didn't know where all these spontaneous thoughts came from.
