"We have the same requirements as those wizards."

After bowing to Segris, the current Dragon Clan King finally walked out of his father's huge shadow and stood in front of Shuer face to face. Although his chubby figure made him look a little funny, the breath he emitted was impossible to fake. It was completely different from when he met in the Rose Capital, and it was completely different from what most people imagined. The golden dragon Odin did not exude the innate domineering aura of giant dragons, but gave people the feeling as calm as a mountain. Perhaps this calmness was the reason why Segris chose him as his successor. After experiencing the wilderness and the radical war between Segris, the Dragon Clan needed a steady leader to lead the clan to recuperate.

"What we need is a living planet, two." Confirm that Shuer's attention has shifted from the Dragon God to himself, Odin said slowly, "One of them has the conditions as bad as possible, with food resources, but not too rich, and a livable environment, but not too large. Most areas try to ensure that food is scarce. Pay attention to it not just that there is no, but shortage. As for areas with good conditions, it is as much as possible to belong to the plains."

"You guys are..." Shuer raised his eyebrows, but he still refused to interrupt Odin's description, "You continue first."

"The second one is just the opposite, with rich resources, mild climate, and safe environment, just like a wilderness." Odin nodded and expressed his gratitude. "I mean more than just food resources, but all the products, including mineral plants, are as rich as possible."

"Is it enough for just two?" Shuer asked, "In addition, there must be a stable ecosystem on the barren planet. What about the rich planets? Do you have any special requirements? For example, a more abundant energy environment or something."

"Of course it's best if you can." Odin asked in surprise, "But do you know our purpose?"

"That's right." Shuer shrugged, "But I think you wouldn't do that, seeing your attitude towards the mythical beasts."

"We don't want to do this if possible, but there is no way, just a forced choice." Odin smiled bitterly, "But I'm surprised, how do you know what we plan?"

"In my hometown, there are several ethnic groups with similar customs, throwing the younger generation into extremely harsh environments and letting them die on their own. Those children must use various means to obtain scarce resources to survive. After such training, all the individuals who have successfully grown up in the clan are particularly strong and have excellent abilities. However, most of the children have fallen on the road to adulthood, and there are not many who can live until they are adults." Shuer frowned and recalled some unpleasant memories. He had been exposed to ethnic groups with such customs in the past when he was in his hometown, and he left a deep impression on him. "You are planning to move the mythical beasts to such an environment, but I must remind you that the future of this ethnic group is not beautiful. From an individual perspective, they are extremely dark, and from the overall perspective of the clan, most ethnic groups do not even have the future."

"Oh? Why?"

"Because in that environment, the easiest way to survive is the plunderers, but if everyone in a group is a plunderer, there will be no future." Shuer looked at the Dragon God and then at Odin, "It is not difficult to meet your requirements, and I have no intention of evaluating your plans. However, as a reward for that kitchen knife, I think I still have an obligation to remind you."

"It seems that you are not as greedy as the legendary one, at least there is a bottom line." Odin did not care about Shure's reminder, but was particularly surprised by his behavior of "reminding". "I really didn't expect you to say this."

"Tsk, it seems that I'm troubled." Shuer curled his lips, "Do you already know the disadvantages?"

"We thought about it, so we didn't plan to do it as extreme, and in fact it was not in line with our purpose," Odin explained. "We hope most of the kids can survive smoothly, but it's a bit difficult."

"Evolutionary Theory..." Shuer suddenly remembered one of the countless identities of this golden dragon, the most powerful supporter of the biological evolution theory of pioneering times, and the life science scholar Vincent. It seems that the dragon clan has begun to consider the future of his offspring since then. Otherwise Shuer would not believe that the golden dragon Odin would study the biological evolution theory without reason, "Bio evolution, history, political economy, you are... planning to retrace the old path of smart creatures."

"Ha, for thousands of years, we have been reflecting on why mythical beasts dominate the earth for millions of years. Why are they surpassed by new creatures such as smart creatures, at least in terms of intelligence? That's why I came into contact with various disciplines of your smart creatures, just to find out the reason. In the end, I found the reason, or in other words, I think I found the reason, the key problem is that they are too powerful."

Shuer was silent. He knew that Odin was just taking this opportunity to sort out his thoughts again, not wanting to get his response.

"Abundant food and mild environment, there are few external threats in children's lives except predators. For you, the large rifts and evil spirits in the void are not that scary for children. Even the weakest individuals among the children, if you want to kill them, the number of evil spirits in the void needs hundreds of times that of your intelligent creatures." Odin sighed deeply and shook his head and said, "The lives of children are so comfortable. As long as they can run faster and jump higher, they can live safely. And they live very well. Of course, they can't find the motivation for change."

"On the other hand, your wise creatures have lived in a crisis-ridden environment since the initial wisdom has not yet been born. They need to avoid hunting of various creatures, find food necessary for survival outside the children's sight, and try every means to survive. Every day is quite difficult for you. But it is this difficulty that allows you to develop your own civilization at the fastest speed and leave the children far behind."

"Because of the difficulties, we must constantly change and evolve so that we can survive smoothly. This is the reason for your success. After delving into your biology and history, I came to this conclusion. Oh, it's ridiculous. Too strong is harmful, and weak is actually the reason for your success."

"The gods actually saw this, because after they were born and began to protect smart creatures, the civilized world began a wilderness era of 70,000 years. At that time, they tried their best to fully ensure the safety of smart creatures. But ironically, in the wilderness era of 70,000 years, smart creatures had almost no development and remained in place, and even the structure of most tribes has not changed, not to mention various technological progress. You have also studied history, and you should be very clear about what I am talking about."

"Yeah." Shuer nodded. He was indeed very clear. If you carefully study the pottery and bone tools of the wilderness era, you can see that the production process has almost no change in 70,000 years.

"It is precisely because they saw that they decided to try to let go and no longer directly interfere with the lives of smart creatures. Unless they have to do so, they will not help them through danger and let them face this dangerous world by themselves. At most, the gods will only help from the side. Sure enough, after the gods let go, the wilderness era that has not changed for 70,000 years has ended. The budding era has arrived, and the stagnant development of your smart creatures has begun to run at high speed again.

It is inevitable that a giant dragon will make it a little funny to explain the history of the clan to himself, but Shuer couldn't laugh, not only because he knew that Odin was right, but history was like this, but also because... Odin's later view.

"The reason for the change disappearing was because of the excessive protection of the gods. After losing the opportunity to face the wind and waves, the opportunity for evolution was also lost. Children's physical fitness and mental strength are actually far superior to ordinary intelligent creatures. They were left behind by you and failed to develop their own wisdom and civilization for a long time. It was entirely because of the lack of pressure to survive. It is already very good. Why do I still want to evolve? Since that's the case, it's better to increase their survival difficulty. Just think what the gods have done, and what the gods can do, our dragon clan can do." Odin thought for a moment and suddenly asked, "I'll ask you another question. In your cognition, when is the fastest stage for the development of intelligent creatures?"

"Of course it is the pioneering era." Shuer did not hesitate at all. As we all know, the Golden Age was the most glorious era of smart creatures. Every day, the civilized world is undergoing tremendous changes.

"Well, this is what most people think." Odin said meaningfully with a mocking smile, "but unfortunately, this answer is wrong."

"ha?"

"If you study the history of the development of the civilized world in depth, you will find that the fastest stage of smart biology development is not the pioneering era that most people think. Yes, that era is indeed full of changes and novelty, but the development speed is still much worse than the chaotic era that you least want to mention."

"You're kidding." Shure subconsciously wanted to question, but he knew that Odin wouldn't joke about such things, and he also understood that what Odin said was probably right.

"In fact, this is not my own opinion. Among you historians of smart creatures, many people also believe that the chaotic era is the era that brought transformation to Pavatiga. Some people even made an average comparison in the form of data analysis. The conclusion is very interesting. Haha, right, the pioneering era is indeed beautiful, and many technologies that cannot be repeated so far have been born. However, whether from the perspective of culture or technology, the incidence of benign changes in the chaotic era is actually more than at least one-third of the pioneering era. This is actually very consistent with the law. You see, you hesitate because you also know in your heart that war and destruction are the greatest driving force for the development of civilization."

"Of course, development driven by chaos can easily go astray, which is one of the reasons why the gods can't wait to end the era of destruction. But we didn't want children to develop to a very high level. We just hope that they can give birth to wisdom, which is enough." Sure enough, Odin finally said his purpose or the dragon clan. "Mythical Behemoths have the conditions to give birth to wisdom, and you have also seen that as long as they are strong to a certain extent, their intelligence is no worse than you. Therefore, the pressure of survival difficulty, coupled with the competition for survival resources, may not be able to see changes in a short period of time, such as a year or two, but as long as you persist for a while, I believe that the evolution of the mythical Behemoths has already stopped will start again."

"I'm afraid it's more than that." Shuer said meaningfully. He had vaguely guessed the ultimate goal of the dragon clan. "What you said is just a process, not a result."

"Ha, the result is something that happened next. The process cannot be completed, and the result is just empty talk." Odin did not deny Shuer's speculation. He also knew that his plans could not be hidden from Shuer's eyes. "The harsh environment brings opportunities for evolution, and evolution has led to the opening of the door of wisdom. Our goal is to enable children to produce wisdom in normal form even if their strength does not reach the current level, just as smart creatures in the civilized world have done."

"Once a certain ethnic group, under the leadership of some leading individuals, wisdom is born on ethnic groups, then the second planet is waiting for them. A good living environment is not only the greatest reward for opening the door to wisdom for them, but also an important guarantee for preventing them from going to extreme development."

"In this way, perhaps it will take not long before the mythical beasts will enter their own budding era. In addition, with these intellectual bodies now led by prophets, you may be surprised to find that the distance that has been separated from the mythical beasts for tens of thousands of years has disappeared silently."

"Haha, a very good plan." The dragon clan was indeed holding this idea. Xiuer squinted his eyes and pondered for a moment, chuckling, "There is the most important point you haven't mentioned."

"Oh……"

"While guiding the intelligent creatures to go through these paths, the gods have gained a lot of faith and have given birth to many new gods." Shur said with a smile. "The base of mythical beasts is more than that of the intelligent creatures at the time. I'm guiding them to open the door of wisdom. The faith they gain will probably not only make Lord Segris return to the ranks of gods, tsk, so... your ambitions are really great."

"This is just a possibility. What has not happened yet, who can guarantee it?" Jinlong Odin said with a sly smile on his round face, "What's more, this is in line with the interests of the distorted space community you designed, right? One more god, the community will have one more pillar. If there are dozens or hundreds of gods suddenly, the interweaving of interests will only make your community more stable and make Lord Luna's core position even more unshakable."

"Tsk tsk, it's indeed such a grand goal." Shuer gently tapped his thigh with his finger and pondered, "The problem is that the grander the goal, the greater the price. What price are you going to pay?"

"Haha, stabilize the community and consolidate Lord Luna's status, isn't this the best reward?" Odin spread his hands and asked, "Do you think there is a more precious reward than this?"

No wonder Segris had to put the two deals together before. He was preparing to make a profit out of thin air. He was worthy of being a race who even liked on the pile of gold coins when he was sleeping. He underestimated the stinginess of these giant dragons. Shuer did not answer, but just paced in place with his hands behind his back. Odin seemed not in a hurry at all, and watched him walk around with a smile, just like watching the crowd coming and going at the door of the store in the Rose Capital.
