Douluo: This Legend of the Dragon King is not quite right

Her words clearly revealed the most fundamental philosophy of Tang San's faction.

The divine right is supreme, and mortals are nothing but ants. Any attempt to challenge the divine right or to pursue the ultimate power of oneself is an unforgivable loss of control and rebellion!
At that moment, Lu Jun finally understood the root cause of the irreconcilable conflict between the two sides.

This is not merely a personal grudge, but a fundamental opposition between two paths of civilizational development.

Is it better to grovel at the feet of divine authority and beg for alms, or to stand tall and rely on one's own wisdom and strength?

The answer is self-evident!

In particular, Tang Wutong's remarks, which were filled with the supremacy of divine authority and regarded mortals as ants, were like a cold, poisonous thorn that pierced the hearts of everyone present.

Not only Lu Jun and Gu Yuena, but also Le Zhengyu, Xie Xie and other companions, their faces instantly turned so gloomy they could drip water.

"This is simply unreasonable!"

Le Zhengyu was the first to lose control of his anger. He took a step forward, his sacred sword humming as he pointed it at Tang Wutong. His voice trembled slightly with extreme rage.

"This is Tang San's daughter's view of the Douluo Continent, the land that gave birth to Tang San? Her view of the countless humans who struggle to survive and strive for progress? Ridiculous! Utterly ridiculous!"

His eyes seemed to burn with holy flames as he roared:
"I don't think there's any need to win her over. This stubborn person doesn't see us humans as equals, as living beings!"

“In her eyes, we are probably not even as good as insects, just dust that her father can crush at will!”

Le Zhengyu's anger infected the others; even the usually calm Yuan Enyehui frowned, but she remained rational and said in a deep voice:

"Calm down, Yue Zhengyu. We understand how you feel, and we are just as angry. But as you said, the situation is critical, and the threat from the Crimson Realm is imminent."

"From a purely interest-based perspective, the combat power of a first-level god is of extraordinary significance to the Douluo Continent today."

"In the end, it is up to Lu Jun and Gu Yuena to make the decision on this matter."

Her tone carried suppressed anger, but her analysis hit the nail on the head.

"hehe."

Faced with the anger and accusations of the crowd, Tang Wutong not only showed no remorse, but instead let out an even more piercing sneer, her tone full of disdain and sarcasm.

"You want me to help you traitors and mortals who defy God's will and blaspheme against His authority?"

"Wishful thinking! Absolutely impossible!"

However, faced with Tang Wutong's extremely arrogant attitude, Lu Jun not only did not get angry, but instead let out a long and sarcastic laugh.

The laughter wasn't loud, but it was like a cold file, relentlessly grinding down Tang Wutong's sense of superiority built on her bloodline and divine status, making her face grow increasingly ugly.

"Theocratic order? Just doing one's duty?"

Lu Jun took two steps forward, his aura no longer concealed, like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath, its edge fully revealed.

His sharp, hawk-like gaze seemed to pierce through all pretense, striking straight into the depths of Tang Wutong's heart.

"Tang Wutong, put away your high-sounding rhetoric. The so-called order you speak of is nothing but a fig leaf carefully woven by you vested interests in order to monopolize power and enslave mortals forever."

"Your so-called stability, in essence, means keeping humanity forever groveling at the feet of your gods, taking whatever they want, and stripping them of even the right to strive for power and control their own destiny through their own efforts." He raised his first finger, his voice like thunder, resounding and weighty, each word carrying the weight of blood, tears, and reality:

"First, divine authority is never about protection, but rather a naked monopoly and oppression!"

"You keep saying that mortals should revere the gods, then let me ask you, ten thousand years ago in the Douluo Continent, during the conflict between the Sun Moon Empire and the original three kingdoms of the Douluo Continent, when countless ordinary soldiers and civilians lost their homes and families in the flames of war, and were displaced, where was your father Tang San? Did he send down a divine decree to stop it? Did he use his divine power to protect them?"

"No, he didn't. He even exacerbated the outbreak of this war, and even tried to prevent the unification of the Sun Moon Empire, continuing to create divisions on the Douluo Continent, hindering the development of continental unification, and continuing to create war!"

"When remote villages are struck by once-in-a-century natural disasters, swallowed up by floods and earthquakes, leaving no trace of the dead, where are you, these high and mighty gods who claim to protect all living beings? Have you ever shown the slightest mercy?"

"When evil spirit masters wreaked havoc, slaughtering villages, and weak spirit masters and civilians cried out in despair, did you, the gods who wield supreme power, ever appear in time to cleanse the evil?"

Lu Jun's questions bombarded Tang Wutong's understanding like a machine gun:

"Your protection has always been conditional and selective."

"You only protect those who conform to the rules you set and do not challenge your absolute authority. Once ordinary people try to get out of their predicament by their own strength, want to stand up straight and take control of their own destiny, they become what you call rebellious and out of control?"

His gaze shifted to Tang Wulin, whose face was pale, with a hint of empathy, before shooting even more fiercely at Tang Wutong:

“Niu Tian was destroyed by the Federation, and you only know to accuse mortals of killing gods and being disrespectful, but you never mention why he would stand against the Federation.”

"He is nothing more than a pawn carrying out your father Tang San's will, a stumbling block to the independent progress of civilization in Douluo Continent. You only allow officials to set fires, but forbid ordinary people to light lamps. Isn't this the most shameless double standard?"

Then, he raised a second finger, his tone becoming increasingly impassioned, as if he were shouting for countless ordinary people struggling to survive:
"Secondly, technology is not the original sin, but the only ladder for human civilization to save itself and leap forward."

"You casually dismiss the Federation's soul guidance technology as a deformed development, as out of control. But your eyes, blinded by divine light, cannot see that this so-called deformity is the hope for survival and the spark of civilization that countless generations of mortal soul guidance masters, in dire straits lacking divine protection, have won with their blood, tears, and lives!"

"Technology has given the weak the dignity to protect themselves. In the past, powerful soul force was the privilege of a few. Ordinary people could only be lambs to the slaughter when faced with natural disasters and injustice."

"Soul guidance technology allows ordinary people without soul power to control soul guidance devices, protect their homes, and resist disasters."

"They no longer need to wait humbly like beggars for the blessings and mercy from the gods that may never come!"

"Technology has broken down the rigid class system that has existed for millions of years. In the past, soul beasts relied on bloodlines, humans relied on martial soul talents, and gods relied on inheritance. Birth determined everything."

"But Soul Guidance Technology allows ordinary people to change their destiny through learning and research."

"True harmony means enabling weaker groups to overcome their inherent disadvantages with the help of external tools and equipment. It is not about the eternal domination of the strong over the weak, but about giving every life the equal right to grow and shine through its own efforts."

Lu Jun's voice suddenly rose, carrying an undeniable certainty:

"Soul-guided technology is the Great Wall that protects planes and continues civilization. Tang Wutong, have you forgotten?"

"Six thousand years ago, without the protection of your God Realm, Douluo Continent was subjected to the first probing invasion of the Abyss Plane. Who used countless soul-guided turrets and soul-guided shields to build a defensive line and block the first devastating impact?"

"Who is protecting countless unarmed civilians from behind with a large soul-guided shield?"

"It wasn't your God Realm, nor your Shrek Academy, Tang Sect, or Clear Sky Sect. It was the Sun Moon Federation that, with its own strength and the countless mortal soul masters who forged a defensive line with their lives, held out until Huo Yuhao appeared, allowing him to successfully resist the invasion from the Abyss Plane."

"If it weren't for these inventions that you despise as out of control, Douluo Star would have long since become nourishment for the abyss, and would have long been enslaved by you so-called gods. How could you possibly be here spouting such lofty pronouncements about divine authority and order?" (End of Chapter)
