Chapter 2015 December 23, Northern Mariana Sea Area

Five submersibles surfaced in turn, returning to their respective research vessels.

This exploration of the Dragon King's remains was undoubtedly a complete success. Whether it was the sea dragon, the remains of the Dragon King itself, or the official promotion and explanation of the Mimetic Daos behind the scenes, everything came to a perfect conclusion.

And the unexpected Dragon King's remnant soul was also a positive aspect.

The program "Into the Ruins: Ancient Legacy" successfully broke various global world records, and the program has become one of the most popular programs in the world. It’s "nearly" the most popular because it was just a special episode, and there was no guarantee that every subsequent episode would be so popular.

But the production team didn't seem to care much about that, because one episode was enough for them to make a name for themselves in television and live broadcast history.

Although this exploration didn't feature the battle scenes that the masses love to see, Su Zhou's strength was obviously far beyond that of a normal young generation of investigators. His existence proved one thing: most things in this world don't need to be solved through fighting. As long as you train hard enough, even a short-tempered sea dragon will humbly take you on a tour of his home.

Two hours after the end of the program, the channel's black screen was still filled with barrages and comments. Many people even started threads in various forums to discuss the information revealed in the program.

Even netizens—or rather, precisely because they were keyboard-wielding members of the political bureau—many could see that even if the Dragon King's remnant soul hadn't appeared, the authorities would still have used various methods to present the information they wanted to show the worldwide audience. The answers to various previously hidden questions were also released.

However, compared to the Mimetic Dao itself, which was of greatest concern to officials worldwide, most netizens were discussing other things.

"The Tianchi Dragon King's ability to arbitrarily transform into human form violates human rights!"

Some anonymous comments stated righteously, "And before that, transforming a sea cucumber into a dragon and then into a human proves that it has no respect for life and manipulates it at will! From the bottom of its heart, it's a demon and doesn't respect life and humanity at all!"

There were also approving comments below: "That's right, why do they get to decide whether a person is worthy of being human? Are they worthy? Do they have the right to judge?"

Naturally, there will always be trolls like this everywhere, just like how a book with a perfectly normal title will always have people running out to complain about it, which is very frustrating.

In response, some netizens naturally replied: "Are the people upstairs and the original poster idiots? He's the Dragon King, a celestial god. Of course, he was qualified in their era! As for now, crimes against humanity are still punished with the deprivation of lifelong political rights and various other rights. At most, a more severe deprivation of human rights will be added in the future."

"Defining rules and regulations, a punishment corresponding to the severity of the crime, depriving human rights for crimes against humanity and society, isn't that great?"

"Exactly, isn't there talk about abolishing the death penalty now? I think it's a good idea. No death penalty for humans, but for serious crimes, deprive them of human rights and turn them into pigs. It's a win-win."
