Chapter 415 -317: Law of the Jungle_1
To be honest, Duanmu Huai knew that his words would surely bring anxiety and fear to the young girls, but he also needed to explain.

Because, that is the truth.
The universe is not a romantic place, just like the jungle, when you first enter the jungle, you will be amazed by its beauty, grandeur, and mystery.
Then, you immediately feel what the law of the jungle is.
Survival of the fittest.
That’s correct, the beautiful jungle is never peaceful. Carnivorous animals hide deep in the jungle, launching maneuvered attacks on their prey. Herbivorous animals eat those beautiful plants and use them as nutrients. Fireflies dancing in the air are pecked by birds, and birds become the delicious meal of other animals.
Powerful devour the weak, the strong control is the truth.
This is the law of the jungle.
The universe is the same.
Duanmu Huai seldom uses words like “justice” to describe himself and the Tribunal. Because in the end, what you call justice is just the majority’s violence. The essence of justice defeating evil is the majority overwhelming the minority. And in this, the nature of justice is always changing. With the development of civilization, the evolution of the times, the definition of justice is always changing.
For example, slavery. For modern people, it is naturally barbaric, evil, and backward. Not to mention the bloody practices like human sacrifices, living burials, it’s dehumanizing.
But how long did slavery last? 1500 years.
What about feudal society? Ignorant, backward, corrupt, superstitious, and organized by a stratified system.
But it lasted for 2000 years.
If it is a fairytale, then evil obviously cannot last this long, because justice will eventually defeat evil… haha, nonsense.
And the biggest reason that these systems can last for so long is that people support them. Once the majority of people do not agree, do not support these systems, then the overthrow of them is only a matter of time. At that time, the original justice becomes evil, and the once-evil becomes justice.
Just as in ancient times, when the emperor suppressed peasant uprisings, he would always issue a proclamation, criticizing these rebels for disturbing the world, pursuing their own interests, defying orthodoxy, and misleading the public, and so on. While the insurgents criticize the current government for failing, the people’s resentments are heard everywhere, the emperor loses his heart, the government is corrupt, and the people cannot live…
In the eyes of both sides, what they do is for justice and the other party is evil.
However, in the end, only one side’s justice will survive.
Looking through history, generally, in the early days of the dynasty, most of the “justice” of “upholding royal power” won, and the “evil” of “rebelling against the court” lost. But in the late dynasty period, the original “justice” of “upholding royal power” failed, and it was those “evil” that “rebellied against the emperor” that won.
In the end, it’s the shift of majority aggression.
The saying “many people choose the right path, while a few people lose their way” is just the principle.
When most people are beneficiaries, they will naturally try to maintain the system that suits their interests. Those who resist the system will fail.
Vice versa, when most people become victims of the system, they will naturally rise in rebellion against this system and overthrow it.
This is why slavery and feudalism have lasted for thousands of years and then were overthrown.
With the development of productivity and the progress of society, rigid systems do not keep pace with changing times, leading to uneven distribution of benefits. Most people are exploited under such systems, naturally resenting it, leading to rebellion.
So, fundamentally, what most people agree with is justice, both in ancient and modern times.
Numbers are justice, firepower is truth.
No amount of gorgeous rhetoric can resist reality.
Just like during the Three Kingdoms period, when Yuan Shao launched the “Proclamation to Chastise Cao Cao in Yuzhou”, he wrote impassioned language comparing Cao Cao to the chaos-causer of the Qin Dynasty, Zhao Gao, and the plotter of Han usurpation, the Lu family, and called on everyone to “rise in arms and indignation to punish the cruel and rebellious”. Even Cao Cao himself read it and broke out in cold sweat, even skipping a headache, jumped up from the bed. He was nearly scared to death.
But it was useless, everyone knows who had the last laugh during the Three Kingdoms period.
This is why Duanmu Huai decided that the Tribunal would not intervene in wars within humans, because those wars are fundamentally a process of system cleansing and evolution, what kind of system can allow human civilization to develop, in the end, they have to decide for themselves. So it’s meaningless to claim to help justice defeat evil. If the end and reform of the system are inevitable, then the intervention of the Tribunal will delay but not prevent it. So in this situation, even if human society goes crazy, Duanmu Huai won’t intervene.
If you want to prove that your system and beliefs are superior to the other party, you have to win to prove it.
No loser can dictate the development of human history, both ancient and modern.
But when it comes to external issues, it’s a different story.
Just as Duanmu Huai told Ann, it’s like when the population of humans has become too large, and they go to reclaim wasteland and forests, and then are attacked by the local indigenous creatures. Aliens represent this threat, and the development of productivity is the guarantee for the evolution and survival of human society. Therefore, to protect humans, the Tribunal will take action to eliminate or exile them.
