To be fair, the city of light depicted by the Tree of Wisdom was indeed attractive in some aspects.
It was especially attractive to those who lived at the bottom of Dragon City, such as those who lacked cultivation potential and resources, did not see any hope, or suffered from post-traumatic syndrome and were on the verge of mental breakdown after years of war.
On one side was the ugly and painful reality.
On the other side was the beautiful and bright illusion.
If someone chose the latter, Meng Chao would not be surprised. He did not have the right to criticize the weakness of others either.
The problem was that in the entire Dragon City... No, perhaps in the entire Other World, no one knew better than Meng Chao how fragile and short-lived this beautiful and bright illusion was.
