Chapter 711: Chapter 450: Target: Seizing the Rankings!_2
Yang Fujian had no good feelings towards those who only came after the opening of the Ancient Secret Realm. If they truly wanted to help, they could have come earlier instead of showing up only after Yang Shi’s death and the opening of the Ancient Secret Realm…
“What kind of words are these, pleasing? This is about releasing goodwill, giving us a bridge for communication, Xiao Jian. The most important thing for a Family Head is to judge who is an enemy and who is an ally, to unite all the forces that can be united.”
“This… Ancestor, do you mean that our enemies are the Demon Clan, so anyone fighting them is our friend?”
“That’s right~ Be wary of zero-sum thinking. The Immortal Cultivation World is not all about fighting and killing; it’s about human interactions.”
This statement shocked Yang Fujian. After thinking for a long time…
“Ancestor, what is zero-sum game?”
Yang Qiangjing covered her face upon hearing this.
“Uncle, the Ancestor once gave a book named ‘Game Theory’, which explains that in specific interaction or competition scenarios, the sum of the participants’ gains and losses is zero. In other words, in a zero-sum game, one party’s gain necessarily means an equivalent loss for the other party. All participants’ interests are opposed, and total wealth or resources are fixed and cannot be increased through cooperation.” The source of this content ɪs N0veI.Fiɾe.net
Yang Fujian finally understood.
Yang Qiangjing also deeply agreed with the Ancestor’s perspective.
“Ancestor, on a larger scale, whether the Liu Immortal Clan intends to challenge the [Ten Thousand Realms Trial Tower] or hunt the Demon Clan to increase their ranking on the [Heroic People List] and the [Immortal Clan List], and to gain the benefits left by their ancestors, they are on the same front as us.”
“Yes… This is also the smartest thing about the ancestors of the Human Clan. They avoided mutual slaughter among their descendants over their relics and instead used the method of opposing alien races to distribute their relics.”
Regarding this, Yang Genshuo admired the Human Clan’s Great Power who designed these three lists and the Trial Tower rules, as they considered problems from the perspective of the Human Clan. He didn’t care who took his relics, only whether they could deal with the alien races.
“With the addition of the Liu Immortal Clan… we now have two Golden Core Perfection cultivators on our side, exceeding the top strength of the Demon Clan. We have the advantage, and after exploring the Secret Realm, we can deal with the Demon Clan!”
Yang Genshuo saw the opportunity.
Yang Fujian also understood their relationship.
Then, he took the initiative to invite Liu Changqing.
“Brother Liu, it’s rare for you to consider the four hundred million citizens of the Danai Dynasty. Please have the Liu clan members come to Bright City of our Danai Dynasty to rest. I will arrange the best residence for you and ensure your daily meals; please don’t refuse.”
After these words, Liu Changqing looked at Yang Fujian with newfound respect.
“You are… the Emperor of the Danai Dynasty?”
“Haha~ We long ago shed that empty title. Cultivators of the world are one family; no one is above another. I’m merely the City Lord of this cultivator city, Bright City, doing what I can for everyone.”
“No one is above another… good, good, good. This Danai Dynasty is not a place of corruption, much to my surprise. However… I accept Your Excellency’s goodwill. We will choose a treasured spot to settle and set up a family defensive formation.”
“The defensive formation of our Bright City is extremely safe, guaranteed to protect everyone. Living here, we can watch over and help each other.”
Liu Changqing glanced at Bright City, nodding.
“Indeed, a master has set up this formation… but never mind, we won’t be too far away from here. Still, thank you for your kindness. I, Liu Changqing, will remember it. For now, we will not disturb you further; we will find a place to settle and come back in a few days to chat with everyone.”
He made a special gesture of respect towards Murong Ziyuan.
Murong Ziyuan nodded: “Good, we will no doubt interact frequently in the future…”
Just before leaving, Liu Changqing gazed at Bright City for a long time, seemingly with…

“That’s right~ Be wary of zero-sum thinking. The Immortal Cultivation World is not all about fighting and killing; it’s about human interactions.”
