Chapter 40: The Proper Attitude Toward Creation
At this time, Jiang Yifei, the head of the Jiang family, witnessed Fang Zheng's actions. After considering his words, he bowed and asked:
"Senior Fang Zheng, I, Jiang Yifei, would like to ask why you need to confirm whether they can understand you. If you can tell us why, perhaps we can help."

"After all, it seems that you, Senior Fang Zheng, cannot communicate through spiritual thoughts and can only communicate through ordinary speech, right?"

Fang Zheng glanced at Jiang Yifei's sincere expression and replied, "That's right. Although I can use a monster spawner to conjure them out of thin air, if they are essentially no different from the dragons in this world of immortal cultivation..."

Jiang Yifei frowned slightly as he listened to Fang Zheng's words.

He had just been called over at short notice and hadn't had time to get much information.

After all, although he is the current patriarch of the Jiang family and his bloodline has been revived, and he looks exactly like Emperor Hengyu, his strength is still too weak. He has only reached the realm of Saint King so far, and has not been told the great secret about resurrecting his ancestors by the Hengyu Furnace God!

He listened to Fang Zheng's words, thinking to himself: (Conjured out of thin air? And this world of immortal cultivation, 'this'? Could it be that this being named Fang Zheng didn't come from the outer space, but from another world, perhaps even the immortal world!)

Fang Zheng continued, "The dragons in this world should be intelligent creatures, right? Generally speaking, if they can cultivate immortality, they should also be able to transform into human form."

Jiang Wen nodded. "That's right. Human form is a natural shortcut. Among the billions of races in the nine heavens and ten earths, most of them who embark on the path of cultivation will transform into human form to facilitate enlightenment."

Fang Zheng was troubled. "If the creatures I transformed are also intelligent creatures like the dragons in this world, then what is the significance of me, the one who brought them into the world?"

"Am I their creator? Or am I their parent?"

"Can I really make them appear?"

“How should I treat them?”

Looking at the dragons on the table that were roaring continuously, their angry roars mixed with fear and despair, Fang Zheng felt very complicated.

He looked at the three silent people in front of him and asked, "In your world of immortal cultivation, a dragon should be a creature full of treasures, right?"

"Whether we use their flesh and blood to stew, or extract their tendons and skin to make weapons and equipment, it should be very useful, right?"

"A dragon over 1000 kilometers long, if someone had the means to refine it into a magical weapon, it would be very powerful, right?"

Jiang Yifei glanced at the dragon on the table, a strange thought in his mind, and replied, "Indeed, among the demon race, transforming into a dragon is a long-standing avenue for enlightenment. Any demon with a certain amount of dragon blood can continue to advance towards the path of transforming into a dragon."

"Legend has it that the Demon Emperor Xue Yueqing, who once reigned supreme over the nine heavens and ten earths, was originally an ordinary snow rabbit. However, through continuous cultivation, he progressed towards the path of dragon transformation, and eventually his bloodline was purified, transforming into a true silver dragon."

"A dragon born with blood of extraordinary purity is truly a treasure no matter where it is."

"The flesh and blood of the dragon can be used to refine elixirs, and its bones and membranes are top-level refining materials. The most precious of these are the dragon balls. Whether it's refining elixirs, refining equipment, or setting up formations, they are excellent materials."

"However, the purer the bloodline, the stronger the aptitude, the stronger the strength, and the higher the status among the demon race."

Jiang Yifei spoke slowly, turning the blood and fire of the ages into plain words.

"However, the Jiaolong is only a more powerful species among the demons."

"Throughout history, conflicts between humans and demons have never ceased. Humans strip demons of their tendons and skin to refine weapons and elixirs, while demons treat humans as food. These are common occurrences in Beidou, and indeed in the cultivation world of the entire universe."

"Really..." Although Fang Zheng was mentally prepared for this answer, he still felt nauseous.

In the past, after finishing his homework after school, he would read novels and anime, and he often saw conflicts between different races in various works. For example, vampires ate people, monsters ate people, artificial intelligence killed people, or people killed vampires and monsters, and resisted artificial intelligence.

When reading novels and watching cartoons, Fang Zheng had no feelings about these things. He just felt that the fighting was not intense enough and that the dog's brains should be beaten out.

But now, Fang Zheng had indeed traveled through time.

Travel to this cruel world.

Just a day ago, when he was still talking with Taiyin on the road to becoming an immortal, Taiyin roughly told him about his experience when he was weak, how he gradually rose to prominence, and finally became an emperor.

Fang Zheng knew about the history of the so-called ancient times, when countless humans in the entire starry sky were reduced to livestock raised by powerful alien races, their tendons and skins stripped as food, and their blood, energy and souls extracted as materials for refining weapons.

At that time, Fang Zheng felt very uncomfortable with the so-called history described by Taiyin.

Fang Zheng felt that although they were of different races, they could all transform into human form and possessed intelligence.

Can't we all just sit down and live together?

Why is it that no matter whether it is the demon race, the so-called ancient race, or the human race, they can kill the same intelligent creatures without any psychological pressure, pull out their tendons and skin them, refine them into magic weapons and elixirs, and stew their meat into delicious dishes?

Fang Zheng looked at the dragon on the table, then turned to Jiang Wen and said, "Grandpa Jiang Wen, could you please, please use your telepathic thoughts to convey my next words to them?"

Jiang Wen nodded.

Fang Zheng took a deep breath and said, "I've just tested it out. As long as any creature in your world of immortal cultivation can lay eggs, I can turn their eggs into my monster spawn eggs."

"That way, no matter how difficult it is for them to hatch and grow normally, I can probably create as many as I want."

"If they're just mindless beasts that spawn from monster eggs or monster spawners, then I have no problem using them as tools or toys."

"I can swipe them out at will to play with, kill them, and use them for beast fights."

"But if those who are swiped out also have intelligence like normal creatures, I would be a little reluctant to let them appear."

"If they showed up and died, I would feel guilty."

"If they don't have a good life after they show up, I will feel guilty too."

"If they had wisdom and killed someone, I would feel as if I had killed someone myself and would be very uncomfortable."

"I don't really want to take responsibility, but I feel that if we want to bring an intelligent life into this world, we must have the minimum respect for them and take responsibility to let them live a better and happier life, rather than just casually ripping out their tendons, skinning them, and stewing them into meat..."

Looking at the dragon on the table, whose movements gradually stopped, Fang Zheng continued, "Looking at them now, it seems like they don't have any brains, but I'm also worried that they simply don't understand the language I'm speaking."

"Is it because they were just created? Although they are intelligent creatures, no one taught them, so they can't speak yet, just like a newborn baby."

"If I can't really confirm their exact condition, I really can't feel at ease."
