The freeze of time seemed to last a very long time, but in the eyes of all the mermaids and sea monsters, it was only a moment.

The jade and stone, frozen in mid-air, were accelerated and exploded before they hit the black dragon, rather than being a one-time damage. With the black dragon's powerful regenerative ability, it could withstand the damage until the end of the attack.

So although the explosion caused mutual destruction, it didn't cause much damage.

However, Long Xun did not move. He looked at the young mermaid with his eyes closed and slowly uttered a sentence.

"Sea King? He's actually a mermaid...?"

"Sea Emperor Lan Che greets you, esteemed Ancestral Dragon." Lan Che smiled innocently and bowed to the silver dragon from afar. After straightening up, he added, "I never expected that the divine dragon, who claims not to participate in wars between living beings, would actually join the merfolk's side."

Long Xun did not answer him.

In Long Xun's eyes, all living beings and things are equal. Whether they are sea monsters or mermaids, they are just a form of life. Whether they are cruel and violent or peaceful and indifferent, they are all the same in his eyes.

Therefore, from the very beginning, even just now, Long Xun did not attack the sea monster. All he did was heal the mermaids who were injured by the black dragon. If the black dragon did not take action, he would remain an observer and witness this war.

There is no right or wrong in racial wars. All races will fight with other races for the resources they need to survive. This is the fundamental law of survival of the fittest and the inevitable path to biological balance.

If the mermaids lose the war, it proves that they are no longer suitable for the development of this world, and they will be eliminated.

If the sea monster loses the war, the same applies.

However, the black dragon should not get involved.

That wouldn't be fair to the mermaids, so Long Xun also took action. But he wouldn't go and kill the sea monster just because he didn't get to taste the black dragon killing the mermaids.

The war between mermaids should be fought by the mermaids themselves. What Long Xun did was to nullify the damage from the black dragon.

Long Xun's actions were indeed cold and ruthless, but this was necessary for a god. The extinction of a race would not affect them, because it was necessary for evolution.

Those who remain in the world are not necessarily the most powerful, but they are certainly the most suitable. The hostility between races is like humans eating vegetables and animals, cats eating fish, tigers eating meat, and Ultraman fighting monsters; this food chain ensures the balanced progress of the world.

If the black dragon helps the sea monster, he will help the mermaid in return; it's all for the sake of balance.

Long Xun thought he should have already understood the point of reversal in this world. For a single black dragon to wipe out the mermaids of this world was definitely not as simple as a single sentence in the original story.

If Long Xun's guess is correct, then the cosmic dragon brought back in the original work was probably unable to awaken and protect the mermaids when the black dragon attacked.

So the balance was broken, time went back, and everything returned to the beginning.

The dragon's awakening came faster and faster each time, but it could never catch up with the black dragon. The world kept accelerating the dragon's awakening, which eventually depleted its life force. As a result, the dragon that should have belonged to the mermaids died before it even awakened, which is why it was able to be replaced by Long Xun, who was also a dragon.

If the Black Dragon makes a move, the mermaids will need a dragon to balance his power, which doesn't belong to the mermaid world.

The black dragon turned around and growled, "Lan Che! He's too strong. If he attacks the sea monster..."

"Shut up, aren't you ashamed enough?" Lan Che snapped.

"I will not attack the sea monster. This war is between mermaids and sea monsters," Long Xun said coldly.

His size was so large and his voice so loud that not only the sea monsters but also the mermaids heard his cold and indifferent words on the battlefield, and they immediately slowed down their movements slightly.

"Oh?" Lan Che raised an eyebrow slightly.

“But if he attacks the mermaids, I will heal their injuries,” Long Xun continued calmly.

Black Dragon made a move, and so did he.

There is no absolute fairness on the battlefield, but dragons do not participate in the battles fought by mortal beings.

The black dragon gritted its teeth and roared, "You..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lan Che interrupted him: "So, you mean you won't help the merfolk as long as he doesn't participate in the war?"

"good."

"Heh~!" Lan Che chuckled. "I hope you'll remember your words."

"Lan Che, are you planning to take action yourself? But your body..." Black Dragon became anxious.

"Shut up! Get out of here! You're more trouble than you're worth." Lan Che's cold rebuke made the black dragon's scarlet vertical pupils shrink slightly. His fierce and violent eyes stared blankly at the young mermaid in front of him. His figure was reflected in his blood-red eyes. Although he was so close, he was still out of reach.

The black dragon shut its mouth, a hint of hurt flashing in its eyes, replaced by cruelty: "Fine... very fine... Lan Che, I'll wait for the day you die, and then... I'll definitely eat you..."

Lan Che's lips trembled slightly, but in the end he just pursed his lips, curving them into a faint smile, and gave a disdainful snort.

Long Xun silently watched the dragon and the fish, feeling as if he had become a bad dragon.

Black Dragon was forced to withdraw from the battlefield by him, and Long Xun truly followed his own words and stopped interfering. The merman finally began to die again.

However, no mermaids would be dissatisfied. Mermaids have always relied on their own race. They would be grateful if the dragon helped them, but they would still respect the dragon's ideas even if it didn't.

Besides, the dragon is right. The war between mermaids is a matter for mermaids. What kind of logic is it to let the dragon interfere?

The mermaid's glory comes from her own efforts, not from the dragon's mercy.
