"That's right, Meng Chao. Now it's my turn to tell you—take it easy. Don't get worked up."
Lü Siya said, "You should understand that releasing many structural conflicts and completely transforming our strategic framework are both things Dragon City Civilization must do.
"We can't bury our heads in the sand like ostriches and pretend Dragon City is truly a paradise where everyone stands united and no disputes exist.
"The longer many issues are dragged out, the bigger they become.
"Right now, Dragon City Civilization is indeed at its weakest. But Monster Civilization has already suffered a crushing defeat, and no new enemies have appeared nearby for the time being. If we don't use this precious Window Period to expose and resolve our conflicts and smoothly complete the transformation, then when will we?"
"No..."
Meng Chao stared blankly at the torrential rain ravaging the earth. Like a clay figurine or wooden puppet, he remained silent for five minutes, allowing the icy rainwater around his burning brain to turn into wisps of rolling steam.
Boom! Crack! A bolt of lightning suddenly split the night sky, and split apart the unsettling fog that had always shrouded the depths of his mind.
His eyes widened, and he began trembling uncontrollably.
"Meng Chao, what's wrong?" Lü Siya, infected by his emotions, stepped forward and gently pressed his shoulder, sending a stream of Spiritual Energy into his body in an attempt to soothe his turbulent thoughts.
"That's right, Ya-jie. You're right. Problems have to be resolved eventually, and growing pains are unavoidable. Since we've won the Monster War, now is the best Window Period to solve our problems..." Meng Chao turned back. His face was deathly pale as he forced a smile at Lü Siya. "But what if we haven't completely won the Monster War yet?"
