"If a civilization were to be infected by the Illusion Dream, they would spend their entire lives unable to escape. Yet, civilization must exist here, because only when the Illusion Dream is nurtured in the dreams of social, intelligent beings can it stay dormant under such comfortable conditions."
"But what if humanity goes extinct?"
Russell once asked a somewhat extreme question.
Zhu Rong gave a comprehensive answer. Clearly, the giant dragons had long since discussed this question, "According to our studies, even if you humans were to be completely wiped out, the Illusion Dream would probably give rise to a new intelligent civilization. Just as it bestowed upon you the differences among individuals, it has granted humans the cognitive difference between 'Self' and 'Community.' From this perspective, the Illusion Dream is the God of creation for this world—it did not create Earth, nor did it create humankind, but it created the foundation of 'society' and 'civilization.'"
