"Didn't do anything."
Ron replied calmly:
"It just made a wise choice. Just like you now, you should make the right judgment."
The atmosphere in the Consciousness Domain became extremely tense.
Saklang's rationality and instincts were engaged in a fierce battle:
As a Time Hound, it had a strong hunting instinct, targeting anyone daring to venture into the river of time;
But as a witness of the Erica massacre, it was deeply fearful of that terrifying power.
"The era has changed, Saklang."
Ron continued to apply psychological pressure:
"Persisting with outdated hostility does no good for either of us.
But if we can establish some kind of... cooperative relationship, the situation would be entirely different."
This proposal made Saklang somewhat hesitant.
It had lived for countless ages, witnessing the rise and fall of numerous civilizations.
In its long life, it had learned one crucial lesson:
The adaptable survive, the stubborn perish.
