Clearly, neither of them believed they could truly persuade the other. Since that was the case, persuading everyone else became all the more important.

Though no words were spoken, An Jing knew that he had become the judge of this dispute.

"I'll definitely support Sister Jin without conditions. Sorry, Miss Su."

Without the slightest hesitation, An Jing was the first to state his position. But before Jin Yanhua could smile, he continued, "That said..."

"In my past life, I read many novels, watched movies and TV dramas, and played games... There were many villains in them who might have held lofty ideals. Quite a few were like Jin Qixu, wanting everyone to become dragons."

"Many protagonists refuted them with strange arguments, such as, 'Turning everyone into another race will definitely cause hidden dangers,' 'Dreams can never compare to the real world,' 'Brainwashing everyone violates free will,' 'Darkness and corruption can never be wiped out'..."

"At its root, it was merely humanity's conservative instinct at work. People preferred what was familiar, and when faced with epoch-making creations that would forge an entirely new future—things unimaginable and incomprehensible—they would dismiss them as [wrong]."

"It's not that I'm arguing on behalf of ideas that truly are wrong. I just found it strange every time—there were clearly better ways to refute them, so why did they always use such boring reasons?"

An Jing turned and looked at Su Xinbai. "The ideal is good, but putting it into practice is the hardest part. I won't deny your ideas, but can you make everyone, and every living being yet to be born, become dragon-men at the exact same instant?"

"Or can you guarantee that every dragon-man will become just like you?"

"My guess is, probably not."

Su Xinbai did not answer, clearly acquiescing to the point.
