Chapter 1139 Xia Mi's Return (Two in One, please subscribe!!!)

"What did they agree on?" Lu Mingfei asked Xia Mi.

"This is also a question I have always been curious about, so I asked Odin directly about the content of their agreement back then." Xia Mi said, "I can roughly guess that their agreement should be related to the huge tree they tried their best to protect."

"Odin didn't keep me in suspense. He just glanced at the white figure in my hand and then started to tell me." Xia Mi said, "Odin said that the battle between the twin kings of sky and wind lasted for thousands of years. Odin advocated the bloodline and force headed by the Black King, while the other advocated the spirit and wisdom represented by the White King. These are the different paths they chose."

"So just because they have different ideas, they must fight to the death?" Lu Mingfei asked Xia Mi with some confusion.

"No." Xia Mi shook her head and said, "The difference in their ideas is not a contradiction. The reason why they fight each other is the nature of dragons."

"The nature of dragons." Lu Mingfei whispered.

"I've told you before, Brother, whether it's humans, dragons, or even beasts, we creatures have a bad nature, whether it's pursuing the evolution of bloodlines, pursuing powerful strength, or pursuing higher status, more wealth, or more satisfactory opposite sex. If we have to summarize these things in one word, it's profit." Xia Mi said in a concluding sentence, "The nature of all creatures in this world is to pursue profit. This is also the nature of dragons. In fact, it's not just the twins of the Sky and Wind King, even Fenrir and I, Old Tang and Constantine, our natures are full of the instinct to pursue profit."

"Junior sister, what you mean is that you still want to eat Fenrir, right?" Lu Mingfei asked Xia Mi.

"Yes, I said this is an instinct deep in my bones. It cannot be suppressed or changed." Xia Mi paused and said, "But with my current feelings for Fenrir, this idea will only be an idea."

"Is that so?" Old Tang scratched the back of his head, "But why don't I have the slightest desire to eat Constantine?"

"In our eyes, you are just an unintelligent primitive man. What are you comparing yourself to me?" Xia Mi squinted at Old Tang. "Do you really think you are Norton?"

"So Fenrir and Constantine actually have the same idea about you, right?" Lu Mingfei asked Xia Mi.

"In theory, yes, but those two guys are not fully intelligent." Xia Mi said it another way, "Or rather, they are dragons that have not fully developed yet, and their minds are still immature, just like a five or six-year-old child suddenly becomes a teenager. Adults are greedy for wealth or power, but children don't have this concept. They want snacks and toys more."

Lu Mingfei thought about it and felt that the example Xia Mi gave was not appropriate, but he couldn’t tell exactly what was wrong. However, he didn’t argue with Xia Mi on this topic.

"The situation of the twin kings of sky and wind may be worse than ours." Xia Mi said, "It can be said that Odin and the others have feelings for each other, but they are very weak. One of them is stubborn and the other is a conspirator who puts profit above all else. Rather than saying that they have a brotherly relationship, it is better to say that they are allies united for the sake of profit and position. Blood relationship has no binding force on them. Since they are allies, there will be times of cooperation and times of betrayal."

"I understand." Lu Mingfei nodded, his expression somewhat complicated, "What a complicated relationship. Junior Sister, please continue to talk about their agreement."

"Odin believes that only with supreme bloodline and enough followers can one ascend to the pinnacle throne, just like the Black Emperor thousands of years ago. But another believes that this is the reason why the Black King ultimately failed. The Black King only has bloodline and military force, but lacks wisdom and help. Violence can suppress for a while, but it is not a means of long-term stability. Those who lose their way will have few followers. He worships the former White Emperor even more." Xia Mi said, "In order not to fight each other and let other kings take advantage of the situation, they made a peace agreement. They each used different methods to approach the supreme throne. Whoever succeeds first will be the agreed winner. The winner has the right to eat everything from the loser."

"So replicating the former World Tree is the path that the white figure took, right?" Chu Zihang asked Xia Mi, "He thinks he can rely on that tree to conquer the dragon clan and the world, and ascend to the supreme throne."

"Well, if that tree really possesses some of the qualities of the World Tree, even if it's only a fraction, it's terrifying." Xia Mi nodded and said, "When the tree is fully grown, coupled with his own bloodline that evolved by devouring Odin, there may really be nothing in the world that can stop him from surviving."

"Fortunately, you and Old Tang ruined his plan." Chu Zihang nodded and said, "It sounds like his plan is not far from success."

"No." Lu Mingfei suddenly spoke up. He raised his head and shook his head at Chu Zihang. "Whether the white doll succeeds or not, I think Odin will eventually break the agreement. I agree with what Junior Sister said just now, that profit is above all else, and that it is the bad nature of all living things. But I don't agree with what she said just now, that for Fenrir and Constantine, profit is just snacks and toys."

Xia Mi's eyes fell on Lu Mingfei with an interested expression, as if she was waiting for how Lu Mingfei would refute her.

"Junior sister, you just gave an example that benefits are more wealth, greater power, and better opposite sex. I don't refute this." Lu Mingfei paused, he looked at Xia Mi and said, "But if the meaning of benefits is so broad in your concept, I think feelings are also a kind of benefit."

"Feelings are interests?" Xia Mi tilted her head.

"Isn't it? Interest is a sociological term, referring to a series of material and spiritual products that organisms use to satisfy their own desires. To a certain extent, humans need emotions to satisfy their spiritual desires, right?" Lu Mingfei said to Xia Mi in a calm tone, "For example, I love Eri, isn't her company and love a benefit to me? For another example, junior sister, you love senior brother, and your senior brother's care and love for you can also be explained as a benefit, right? And Old Tang was relieved to know that Constantine was safe, you and Fenrir have been accompanying each other for so many years, and for that child-like dragon, the TV, movies and snacks you bought for him, your existence is a kind of spiritual abundance and satisfaction for him, can't this also be explained as a benefit?" "Well... senior brother, please continue." Xia Mi neither nodded nor shook her head, and the expression on her face showed neither approval nor denial.

"So you didn't kill me back then, because you would be sad if he died, which goes against your interests. That's why Fenrir never thought of eating you all these years, because if he ate you, there would be no one to accompany him, and no one else could make up for his missing feelings, which also goes against his interests." Lu Mingfei paused, "So I can give everything to save Eri, because if Eri died, I would be sad, regretful, and remorseful."

"In the final analysis, all our actions are for ourselves. We live for others but also for ourselves." Lu Mingfei looked at the ceiling. "In addition to bad nature, living things also have emotions, which are similar to the difference between sensibility and rationality but not exactly the same. They contradict each other but are interdependent. In the ancient primitive society, even without the constraints of laws, humans did not perish, and beasts also had a set of self-survival rules, because in this world, no one can live alone."

Xia Mi was silent for a while, then suddenly clapped and smiled at Lu Mingfei.

"That's a very good point, senior brother. Why don't you consider developing in the direction of philosophy or sociology?" Xia Mi winked at Lu Mingfei.

"Seriously, the Odin you described makes me feel a little strange and scared." Lu Mingfei shook his head, "Because this guy contradicts what I just said. He seems to be a guy who really puts profit above all else. The relationship between him and his twin can't stop him from pursuing power."

"No, it's not just about feelings, even agreements and promises can't restrain him." Lu Mingfei took a deep breath, "I can't think of anything that can restrain this guy. He seems to have no morals, no feelings, and no bottom line. He can use everything in this world, and he can also betray everything in this world."

When he said this, Lu Mingfei's mind once again emerged with that familiar figure, that cunning and ambitious scientist, Herzog. He looked at Lu Mingfei and said, "Mr. Lu, the nature of living things is to pursue profit. This is a world of cannibalism. We eat each other's value and interests. If you want to climb higher, you have to step on the corpses of others. If you don't eat others, you will be eaten by others and become a corner of the mountain of corpses."

That's why Odin's behavior made Lu Mingfei feel familiar, because that guy and Herzog are the same type of people... No, that guy is more terrifying than Herzog, because Herzog is a human being, and humans have more shortcomings than dragons. He is afraid, and he has a cowardly human heart in his chest, but Odin is a real dragon.

It is hard to imagine how terrifying it is for a natural born king, a cowardly human being like Herzog, to climb to a throne in twenty years. He is as treacherous and ambitious as Herzog, and has a more extreme worldview than Herzog.
"Odin might really be such a person." Xia Mi sighed, "I can't see through him. I even subconsciously don't want to have too much contact with such a guy. Maybe I think we are not the same kind of people, or maybe I am subconsciously afraid of him."

"So what is the path that Odin chose?" Lu Mingfei asked Xia Mi, "Is it related to the Nibelungen he created in this city? Is it related to his control over his senior brother's father?"

"I don't know." Xia Mi shook her head and said, "I really don't know. Odin didn't tell me what he was thinking, and I couldn't guess. When I realized that I couldn't see any emotion in his eyes, I felt like I was negotiating with a cold-blooded venomous snake."

"He hides it too deeply." Chu Zihang recalled that the Odin described by Xia Mi was completely different from the tall and majestic god-like guy in his memory. Chu Zihang couldn't tell which one was the real side of Odin.

"But Odin took a different path. Why did he choose to return to the Nibelung?" Lu Mingfei asked Xia Mi, "This tree is the path chosen by his twin. If this path is successful, he will lose the previous agreement, right? So Odin was ready to break the agreement from the beginning and steal his achievements on the eve of his brother's success, right?"

"Maybe. His behavior made me feel that way, but I can no longer trust my intuition." Xia Mi shook her head and said, "As for why he returned to Nibelungen, Odin said it was because twenty-four years ago, he felt the power of the altar calling him. At that time, he almost broke into Nibelungen, but was stopped by the white figure. Then when he returned to Nibelungen, he found that the tree was so mature. He realized that this might really be a feasible way, and there was great hope."

"Maybe Odin wants to steal the achievements of the white man-like creature, but I think he may not give up his own path." The "god-like" shadow emerged in Chu Zihang's mind, "The World Tree, the evolution of bloodline and the ultimate force, maybe he wants to complete both paths at the same time and then eat his twin, if he is really a guy who is purely pursuing profit."

"Compared to this guy, Herzog looks cutely stupid." Lu Mingfei cursed in a low voice.

"Odin told me that if I still couldn't trust him, he could inject all the power of the White King's Bone into the tree right in front of us." Xia Mi continued, "The remaining power is not enough for his bloodline to evolve completely, but this power will be of great use to the tree."

"So, Junior Sister, did you give the White King's dragon bone to him?" Lu Mingfei asked Xia Mi.

"I gave it to him. I didn't have much at the time. I don't know if Odin lied to me, but this amount was definitely not enough for him to evolve." Xia Mi said, "I watched him use the power of the dragon bone on the tree, and then I returned the white human form to him and left Nibelungen with Lao Tang. At that time, Lao Tang couldn't hold on any longer and was about to die."

This time, Old Tang rarely refuted.

"Did you come back after that?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"Before leaving, I remembered the request of the Yamal crew, so I asked, and the answer I got was that the crew members who entered Nibelungen more than 20 years ago were all burned to death on the water. There were no bodies and no traces left in the world." Xia Mi said, "Two people escaped, one of whom was a mixed-blood. After getting the answer, Lao Tang and I left. We will come back when Lao Tang's injuries are healed to the extent that they no longer affect his ability to move."

"Your trip sounds more dangerous than ours." Lu Mingfei sighed.
