Chapter Sixty-One

"......"

"Goodness gracious!"

"Goodness gracious... a dragon revolutionary!"

"Goodness! You're actually trying to get a dragon to join the party!"

Netizens typed out their exclamations to express their shock—recruiting a dragon into the revolution was a path no one had ever imagined!

"It's not that I want this... but that it should awaken to this consciousness on its own!"

The user who proposed the idea replied, "Only a shared ideal, only a true revolutionary comradeship, can closely bind the fate of two beings from different races."

"We can try to use Marxism and the teachings of our great leaders to transform and elevate the black dragon's mind and soul, to awaken in it a powerful sense of progress, so that it becomes a steadfast proletarian warrior!"

"Only then can we help it establish the correct stance, and only then can we be sure that it will always stand with our people, always stand with our nation!"

"Besides, the struggle against unjust fate is the natural aspiration of every intelligent being!"

"The black dragon has suffered under the oppression and enslavement of an evil god for so long; it must understand this deeply. As long as we provide the right guidance, it's not impossible to ignite the fire of revolution in its heart!"

"......"

"Beautifully said! Physical strength alone is not true strength. Even a dragon must arm itself with revolutionary thought!"

"Only a dragon willing to devote itself to the revolutionary cause is a good dragon—a true friend of our people!"

"And only the flames of revolution can help a dragon achieve self-awakening, self-redemption, and a true rebirth!"

...

Several unfamiliar IDs suddenly joined the discussion, expressing strong agreement. In an instant, the entire forum was ablaze with this topic.

...

The black dragon had no idea that certain departments had already begun creating an online buzz about its upcoming naturalization.

It was currently devoting itself to the role of an actor.

According to the shooting plan, after being "awakened" by rocket fire, the black dragon was supposed to rage for a while, then suddenly be drawn in by a documentary playing on a screen, unknowingly becoming captivated.

The slideshow was showing a documentary about the solar system—"Journey to the Edge of the Universe."

Kant once said that there are only two things in this world that deserve our awe: the noble moral law within us and the starry sky above us.

These words are deeply philosophical—even if spoken in another world, they would surely resonate with many intelligent beings.

But dragons are shameless by nature; there is no noble moral law in their hearts. Thus, the only thing that can inspire awe in it is the starry sky overhead.

Though the night sky depicted in the documentary was very different from that of this world, it didn’t diminish the black dragon’s sense of wonder—

The breathtaking views of Earth from space, the brilliance of the solar system, the vastness of the universe—every image left the black dragon dumbfounded.

This was a vision it had never witnessed before, an entirely new universe it had never even imagined.

In the face of such cosmic grandeur, all creatures seemed insignificant—even a dragon was no exception!

A sense of reverence and yearning for the universe welled up uncontrollably!

The black dragon stared intently at the screen, completely absorbed, motionless.

For Huang Ze, this wasn’t just an act—the documentary truly captivated him, for he had never seen it before.

One piece of information in particular astonished him—the sun releases energy equivalent to 92 trillion tons of TNT every second!

Every second—imagine that!

Such a terrifying level of power shocked the black dragon to its core.

He couldn’t help but wonder: was the sun in this world on the same scale? Was it just as terrifying?

If so, then what kind of entity would the Sun God—its living embodiment—be?

To face an opponent capable of unleashing ninety-two trillion tons of TNT per second was enough to make one despair, let alone consider opposing it.

Unless Huang Ze could become like a late-stage protagonist in some fantasy novel—devouring stars, neutron stars, or even black holes—there was simply no way to gain an overwhelming advantage.

"No, I'm just scaring myself!"

The black dragon suddenly snapped out of it. "The deities of this world can’t possibly be that terrifying—otherwise, our country could never have survived this long!"

"If the Sun God withheld sunlight for even a day or two, our entire society would collapse!"

"Clearly, these native gods must strictly obey the laws governing the material realm. They must follow the rules and cannot easily overstep their bounds!"

"Moreover, the sun on our side radiates energy to the entire universe; the Earth receives less than one part in a hundred million of its total output... But here, the sun might serve only this material world, so its actual energy production is likely much less!"

"And as for divine authority here—it can be replaced. Throughout history, countless old gods have fallen and new gods have seized power. While these upheavals have caused a great deal of trouble, they have never brought the world to the brink of destruction."

"In other words, the gods of this world are greatly constrained by the material realm and nowhere near as overwhelming as to make our people despair."

The black dragon calmed itself, only to be struck by a new realization.

"In that case, even high-magic worlds are nothing special... Clearly, our universe is far more vast and magnificent. There’s no need to invoke black holes—just a random supernova would probably annihilate all the gods and demons in the sky..."

"And humanity’s potential is obviously far greater than that of these native deities. In the long run, we might even build Dyson spheres and star-destroying cannons..."

The black dragon’s wandering thoughts appeared, to others, as restlessness—perfectly matching the director’s requirements.

According to the script, when the documentary ended, the black dragon would remain motionless, lost in thought for an entire night, vividly conveying the overwhelming impact and shock it had experienced.

"Ah... As my exposure grows, this leading role is becoming more and more exhausting. I have to be constantly mindful of my persona and play my part well..."

The black dragon sighed inwardly. For now, it was still trapped in the military base, under tight security. Few outsiders were allowed access, and even if it occasionally slipped up, there were ways to fix it.

But once it finished filming the early naturalization scenes and had to attend exhibitions, give speeches, or meet fans in major cities... that was when things would truly become challenging. Under the glare of countless spotlights, every word and action would have to be carefully considered.
