Everyone present was intelligent.
Even Golden Eyed Black Dragon King Di Tian, who was taking notes with a little notebook nearby, and Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King, whom Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena had revived—or rather, reshaped into physical forms—and who were still in their infancy, along with Bi Ji, Zi Ji, and the others responsible for serving tea, understood the core of Ye Qingcang's proposal and grasped why he was so certain the plan would work.
The feasibility of this plan lay in human nature.

People were selfish!
They would never hesitate over something that harmed others for their own benefit.
But when it came to harming themselves for the benefit of others, anyone would resist.
