"Ancient monstrosities, weren't they notoriously solitary and self-centered? Why would they need to form alliances?" Shi Hao asked.
"Circumstantial pressure. Because someone took the lead in forming alliances, leaving others with no choice. If they stand alone, their fate is dire. Take yourself, for example. Though your talents are extraordinary, rivaling the ancient prodigies, can you fend off two people working together? Or survive being surrounded by three?" Long Yu replied.
Shi Hao smiled faintly but did not respond.
"I understand that with your strength, you indeed overlook the world. Yet, every ancient king was like that once, dominating an era," Long Yu continued, noticing Shi Hao's indifference. "Except for rare exceptions like the Ten-Crowned King, without taking 'that step,' who among them could claim superiority? Should two or three join forces to kill one, it would spell certain doom. So, even with your might, you should consider aligning with like-minded individuals."
