Tyrannosaurus continued, "Most animals in nature are good animals that follow their instincts.

They hunt only to survive. Even if some methods during the hunt are cruel (like parasitoid wasps), they don't generate much negative emotion,

and don't add trouble to the Underworld.

But humans are different.

Humanity's pace of development and progress is too fast, and its impact on nature far exceeds the scope of ordinary species.

A single deep-sea fishing expedition can kill tens of thousands of fish.

The development of rainforests leaves millions of animals homeless.

Every second, humans are driving other species to extinction.

All living beings in nature have the right to survive.

However, humanity's actions have far exceeded what is needed for survival, becoming greedy and insatiable."

Tyrannosaurus spoke slowly in a gentle tone, "Although each low-intelligence life form produces very little negative emotion,

it accumulates, brick by brick.

Coupled with the negative emotions generated within the human race,

it has already overwhelmed the Underworld—

The entire Underworld has about 20 billion permanent souls,

of which 2 billion are staff working on the reincarnation project.

The remaining 18 billion include 10 billion evil spirits wandering in the wilderness, and 8 billion residents who are staying in the Underworld for various reasons or living there permanently.

Now, the number of staff and permanent residents remains unchanged.

On the other hand, the evil spirits wandering in the wilderness, as well as the chaotic demons generated by negative emotions, are increasing day by day.

If this continues, the Underworld will collapse sooner or later.

At that time, we will usher in the destruction of both realms."

Even when describing the terrifying future, Tyrannosaurus' gentle tone did not change. He said slowly, "Heh, there's a saying in human society:

If you can't solve the problem, solve the person who raised the problem.

From a utilitarian point of view, the most efficient approach would undoubtedly be to directly destroy humanity.

But we didn't choose to do that."

"...Why?"

Mule asked, as instructed by Li Ang.

Tyrannosaurus shook his head, "There are two reasons.

We who live in the Underworld cannot directly interfere with the real world on a large scale.

As a survivor of a long-extinct species, I really don't want to erase the hope of a new species.

Of course, we have a compromise last resort, which is to gradually reduce the supply of human souls, peacefully and slowly reducing the total number of humans, and weakening their impact on nature."

While Tyrannosaurus was saying this, the other human councilors didn't react.

Frey's hands hung down by his sides, and he stood respectfully with his head bowed beside Mule, as if he hadn't heard anything.

"However, before implementing that plan, we would like to see if there are other solutions.

To discuss how to solve the problem."

Tyrannosaurus said, "You see, the problems caused by humans are mainly divided into two categories.

One is the infringement of the survival rights of other species, leading to negative emotions in other species.

The second is the negative emotions generated within the human race.

In the first problem, the easiest thing to cause negative emotions is the human's modern farming project.

I don't know if you've ever been to a farm.

The pigs, cows, sheep, chickens, ducks... are kept in narrow cages where they can barely turn around, force-fed, injected with hormones, and subjected to long-term, unbearable pain.

In the end, they are skinned, have their tendons drawn, their blood drunk, their flesh eaten, and every last bit of their value is squeezed out by humans."

Tyrannosaurus paused for a moment and said slowly, "I am not human, so I am more qualified to speak.

The behavior of modern farms does not conform to the natural principles of hunting.

If the animals in the farm were replaced by humans, and humans were replaced by animals,

then, in the eyes of humans, it would undoubtedly be a tragic hell on earth."

Tyrannosaurus paused and said slowly, "Lawyer Kevin, we want to know whether you think that human behavior involving modern farming projects should be regarded as a sin.

If it is a sin, what kind of punishment should be received."

Tyrannosaurus said peacefully, "What I mean here,

is not just the human staff who are engaged in farming projects,

but all human groups that benefit from modern farming projects.

Any human member who has purchased animal meat, even though he did not kill the animal himself, perhaps should be responsible for the indirect mass slaughter,

and bear a heavier Underworld punishment after death than before."

...Is this the last link?

Mule was silent. As Li Ang said, his second-stage mission had been completed, and the current third-stage mission was [Successfully persuade the Underworld Council].

As a broker, Mule himself was also a professional intelligence analyst.

He noticed that the goal of the third stage was to persuade the Underworld Council.

There were no restrictions on what angle to use to persuade the Underworld Council—whether humans were guilty and needed to be punished, or humans were innocent and did not need to be punished, he could clear the stage.

At first glance, this mission seemed very easy.

However, he did not know the positions of the council members—there were five dinosaurs and seven humans. A slight carelessness would anger some wavering councilors.

'What should I say?'

Mule licked his lips, using this action to ask the strategy team for help from an angle invisible to the councilors.

"Tsk, what a pain."

The witch frowned and said in a deep voice, "If we stand on the human's position, then there's no need to even think about this kind of question.

Humans have evolved to where they are now after millions of years, not to live as vegetarians.

Humans, like other animals, have the right to eat meat—and modern farming projects ensure that humanity's industrial capabilities can extend the right to eat meat to every compatriot.

However, if we stand from a higher Underworld perspective... farming and slaughter are undoubtedly harmful."

"Because the other party is the administrator of the Underworld, and also a dinosaur that has already gone extinct, we can't use the reason 'You have the right not to eat meat, but you can't erase my right to eat meat' to persuade him."

Black Wooden Horse scratched his head and said with distress, "If these words were said by a human, then he might be a holier-than-thou or a hypocrite.

But when the person who said these words is a Tyrannosaurus that existed for more than 60 million years, is nearly 15 meters long, weighs 14 tons, and possesses powerful extraordinary abilities,

then these words can only be regarded as criticism and accusation from a kind senior to a junior.

This is difficult..."
