Chapter 872

Stelle: "What you don't know is—"

Stelle: "The Chiming people are a very special race."

Stelle: "They cannot reproduce or bear offspring."

Stelle: "They can only endlessly shed their scales and be reborn."

Stelle: "In other words, for every Chiming person lost, that loss is permanent!"

Chiori: "What?"

Chiori: "Cannot reproduce or multiply?"

Chiori: "Is there really such a strange thing?"

Miss Ruan Mei: "As immortal dragon descendants, the Chiming should originally have been able to reproduce."

Miss Ruan Mei: "However, the birth of Abundance stripped them of this ability."

Furina: "Why is that??"

Herta: "The reason is very simple."

Herta: "Abundance is itself a split off from immortality."

Herta: "Having lost the concept of Abundance, the immortal dragon descendants naturally can no longer reproduce."

Welt: "But they have retained some of the characteristics of immortality."

Welt: "This infinite shedding of scales and rebirth should be the manifestation."

Hu Tao: "So that's how it is... I never expected there would be such a reason..."

Lumine: "If that's the case, won't the Chiming race inevitably go extinct one day?"

Lumine: "Is there no solution?"

Brother Dan Heng: "According to the memories of my past life, the Dragon Lord of Lunar Eclipse once tried to seek a way."

Brother Dan Heng: "But in the end... it only led to the Lunar Eclipse Rebellion."

Stelle: "There must be a way, it's just hard to find!"

Stelle: "But that way is definitely not like this Dragon Sage, directly throwing in with the power of Abundance!"

March 7th: "Logically speaking, even if they really did throw in with someone, shouldn't it be Abundance that makes more sense?"

Miss Lingsha: "Throwing in with either of these two powers is not advisable."

Miss Lingsha: "The future of the Chiming race should not be entrusted to such things!"

Silver Wolf: "Although this Dragon Sage speaks in lofty, righteous terms."

Silver Wolf: "But isn't it possible that this is all just his excuse."

Silver Wolf: "His real goal is actually to seize power over Luo Fu?"

Boothill: "Damn it, that's not impossible!"

Boothill: "No matter what, I hate those backstabbing little sweethearts the most!"

The video continues.

【Miss Lingsha, Brother Dan Heng, the past is past, but the future of the Chiming still rests in your hands.】

【Now that the situation on Luofu Xianzhou has changed drastically, we Chiming should unite as one, and must not repeat the mistakes of the past Lunar Eclipse.】

Taoran earnestly and persuasively counsels Miss Lingsha and Brother Dan Heng.

【I was originally half-believing, half-doubting about the matter of the Chiming of Luo Fu betraying the Alliance....】

【But after hearing the elder lay out his own crimes, I feel that prattling on about trust is meaningless.】

【Having violated the heavenly laws of the Alliance will bring the calamity of war upon the entire Chiming race.】

【Even if the possibility of reproduction is regained, what then?】

Miss Lingsha remains unmoved, still not accepting Taoran's argument.

【On the contrary, once what I have done succeeds, the Alliance will regard the Chiming as saviors.】

【Because the ultimate interests of the Alliance and the Chiming are aligned.】

Taoran begins to explain.

【Oh?】

【When arguing for survival failed, the elder wants to talk about interests now?】

Miss Lingsha arches a brow slightly.

【The Alliance and the Abundance folk have waged bloody war for a thousand years, yet no victor has ever been decided—have you considered why?】

【Because if the Alliance wins, it will become the next Abundance folk.】

【If the battle is lost, the Alliance will be driven to extinction.】

【Therefore, for a long time now, the Alliance has hypocritically maintained this precarious, fragile balance.】

【But I have a way to transcend this predicament.】

Stelle: "LMAO!"

Stelle: "Where does he get that confidence from?"

March 7th: "It's over, I think he's already gone mad."

March 7th: "Also, looking at his appearance, he's not far off from a Mara-stricken body."

March 7th: "Madness is only natural."

Miss Sushang: "After the Alliance wins, it will become the next Abundance folk?"

Miss Sushang: "After growing up this long, this is the first time I've ever heard such a view."

Stelle: "If I may speak bluntly, if the Alliance became the Abundance folk, no one else would need to act—the Hunt's Aeon would absolutely be the first to step forward and clean house."

Stelle: "So this is simply impossible!"

Yunli: "Why bother saying so much to him?"

Yunli: "Just hurry up and throw him into the Shackling Prison to be locked away."

Yanqing: "I'm afraid it won't be that simple."

Yanqing: "The Vidyadhara Dragon Sage holds an exalted position; he can't be condemned so easily."

Stelle: "Then let's get Bai Lu to do it!"

Stelle: "Use the Dragon Lord's supreme authority to condemn him!"

Bai Lu: "You can forget about that."

Bai Lu: "If he doesn't come arrest me, I'll be thanking my lucky stars."

Paimon: "Oh my, does Young Lady Bai Lu, as the current Dragon Lord, really live such a miserable life?"

Paimon: "She could actually be arrested?"

Silver Wolf: "That's just how Milk-Dragon is."

Bai Lu: "I can't help it either; I can't beat the Dragon Sage."

Lingsha: "Dragon Lady, my lord, don't be afraid. Once I reach Luo Fu, I will certainly discuss matters with General Jing Yuan and rescue you from the depths of suffering!"

Bai Lu: "Really?"

Bai Lu: "Then you'd better hurry up and come!!"

The video continues.

【The Alliance's method of salvation lies hidden within the Dragon-Transformation Secret Art!】

【Imagine if there were a method to transform other lives into Vidyadhara.】

【The Alliance would have an endless supply of soldiers, never troubled by casualties and attrition.】

【Once the war ended, these soldiers would no longer continue to reproduce, with no need to worry about them running rampant.】

【This is the Xianzhoulian Alliance's method of salvation—the supreme good path that ends the suffering of the Abundance plague across the universe.】

【Only we Vidyadhara can accomplish this!】

Taoran spoke out one's own thoughts,

hoping to move Brother Dan Heng and Miss Lingsha.

【... Elder, is this the argument you used to persuade those ignorant, naive people of the Vidyadhara clan to lay down their lives for you?】

【Lingsha, I am utterly disappointed in you.】

【Your thoughts and ideas have become inhuman.】

【Cloud Knights!】

Lingsha gave a cold shout,

wanting the Cloud Knights following behind her to seize Taoran!
