Dragon Clan: Undercover at the beginning, the road to becoming a god

"I am the mighty Dragon King, do you think I would make a mistake on something as basic as Bloodmourne?"

Hearing Su Mo's question, Xia Mi shook his head, his words full of confidence.

"Are you looking down on me too much?"

Regarding Xia Mi's rhetorical question, Su Mo hesitated to speak.

After thinking about it, I changed to a softer term.

"Is it possible, I mean is it possible, that the so-called blood sorrow and loneliness you see in me is not my problem, but the world's problem?"

"For example, if a person is playing a game, although he is also operating the character and interacting with the game world, he does not exist in that world, so he shows a certain sense of loneliness, or something that looks like Bloodmourne .”

"But his cognition is normal. In fact, he has no real mental resistance. He is just an ordinary person."

Su Mo raised this possibility.

After hearing Su Mo's expression, Xia Mi looked at him with concern.

"Are you discussing some philosophical issue? Don't blame me for not reminding you. Philosophy is a road of no return! I have seen many people commit suicide because of taking advantage of others. There are also many pure-blood dragons among them. Don't do that. Learn from them!”

"Don't worry, I'm just interested in such a problem."

Su Mo shook his head.

Seeing his serious look, Xia Mi scratched his cheek with his index finger, thought for a moment and concluded.

"What you mean is that you are just like a game player. You feel that you do not belong to this world, so you have no blood sorrow and no mental resistance. It is very normal for you to feel alienated from this world. Is it the world that has problems, not you?”

"That's right."

Su Mo nodded.

"But aren't you just a typical blood mourner?"

Xia Mi spread his hands, wondering what Su Mo was insisting on.

"You think you don't belong to this world at all. Take yourself out... Your heart is so thick that it can withstand nuclear bombs. Why do you have to say that you are an ordinary person?"

"It's still different, right?"

Su Mo shook his head.

"Bloodmourne is the one who forged the wall of heart to isolate the world. I didn't take the initiative to do so. The world itself changed. I didn't change mentally, so I shouldn't have gained any mental resistance."

Hearing what he said, Xia Mi had a headache, wondering if it was too sudden to throw Su Mo directly in front of Fenrir, which tore Su Mo's world view to pieces and still hasn't stitched it back together.

It's all because Fenrir looks so scary.

However, she is still very calm on the surface.

"I understand. What you mean is that the owner of Bloodmourne feels alienated by himself, and you feel alienated due to sudden changes in the world. The two causes are different, right?"

"right."

Su Mo nodded.

"But if you think about it carefully, is there really a difference?"

Xia Mi asked rhetorically.

"Whether there is something wrong with you or you think something is wrong with the world, in the final analysis there is something wrong with the relationship between yourself and the world. Is there a difference between the two?"

Xia Mi's words were so philosophical that they were somewhat inconsistent with her usual level of wisdom.

Even Su Mo took a moment to understand what she meant.

Is it really that important whether there is something wrong with my own consciousness or something wrong with the world?

There is a mutual reference relationship between people and the world. If your performance looks like Blood Mourning and you use it like Blood Mourning, then it is Blood Mourning.

Su Mo nodded, understanding what she meant.

"But, things like mental resistance..."

He still had doubts about this. If he really had this level of resistance, there was no reason why the system wouldn't mark it.

But he doesn't have this skill, which shows that the system thinks he is normal.

"What do you think mental resistance is?"

Xia Mi could probably understand Su Mo's doubts, so she asked directly.

"Do you think people with strong souls and strong mental power must have stronger mental resistance?"

"no."

Su Mo shook his head and recalled famous killers such as Anger and Chu Zihang.

Before and after they encountered their fateful night, their pure mental strength and soul may not have changed much, but their mental resistance must be completely different, and what caused this difference——

"It's will! Will determines the strength of mental resistance!"

Su Mo came to a conclusion.

"Yes, it's will! They are also carbon, and graphite and diamond have completely different hardnesses. Will is the key to transforming mental power from graphite to diamond."

Teacher Xia Mi nodded with satisfaction, and then looked at Su Mo.

"Will can be a certain emotion or a certain inherent cognition. As long as this inherent cognition is strong enough, it can form mental resistance."

"If you are really stubborn and think that you don't have Blood Mourning and that this is a problem in this world, it will form the most powerful wall of heart. Not to mention ordinary dragon blood, even the blood of the Dragon King cannot corrode your heart. Cognition, as long as you firmly believe that dragon blood is something from another world, not a part of yourself, it can actually help you fight against the erosion of dragon blood."

Xia Mi's meaning is very simple. Mental resistance is not a physical indicator, nor is it a mental power indicator. It relies on stubborn self-awareness, so it and Blood Sorrow are two things in one.

This has nothing to do with human dragons. As long as you have this stubborn idea, it doesn't matter whether its core is emotion or cognition, it can become an anchor for mental resistance.

This is pure heart power.

"Listen to what you said, the patients in the mental hospital should be very mentally resistant."

Su Mo couldn't help but complain, what could be more stubborn than a mental patient? Even if you are locked up in a mental hospital, you still have to say that you are right and others are wrong.

"You're probably right. According to your human standards, dragons and even most hybrids are mentally ill."

Xia Mi did not shy away from this.

"No, now I, a pure human, am also a psychopath."

Su Mo held his forehead and sighed.

I didn't expect that going around and around would turn me into a psychotic person.

Fortunately, the average person in the dragon world is mentally ill, and Lu Mingfei was locked up in a mental hospital and couldn't get out, so he didn't have to think that he was an alien.

"I understand what you mean. The idea that I firmly believe that there is something wrong with this world is very mentally ill. It can provide me with enough mental resistance, and even allow me to resist the erosion of dragon blood."

After sorting out the results of the conversation, Su Mo looked at Xia Mi's wrist.

"If that's the case, why not choose this method? Compared to searching for a needle in a haystack in the Yangtze River, wouldn't it be much faster to directly obtain bloodline by this method?"

If the so-called Blood Sorrow can really work, wouldn't it be possible to obtain the bloodline now?

You don’t have to go that far.

Hearing what he said, Xia Mi rolled his eyes at him.

"Are you stupid? Why use dangerous methods when there are safe methods? What if you can't carry on? Dragon blood is poisonous, not to mention the blood of a powerful Dragon King like me. It contains terrible things. Will, it’s best not to touch it casually.”

"You are done with it, and I still have to find another family member!"

Although theoretically she thought Su Mo might be able to handle it, in reality she still didn't want to take the risk.

"Even if you want to try it, wait until you use fetal blood first. That way you can at least have a certain degree of resistance to dragon blood."
