Chapter 1022: Unfair Vs Fair System.
The main reason he found this system unfair was that he was young and had a lot more to live for compared to Martial Will and Tepid Scholar.Both Martial Will and Tepid Scholar are old Dao Lords. They are also Dao Lords who have thrown their weight around a lot, used their power many times, and even fought other Dao Lords once in a while.
All of these mean that they have accumulated a lot of Entropy. Because of their years of activity, they should be nearing their limits of Entropy by now.
In comparison, Heavenly Eye and Sword Will are younger and low-key Dao Lords who rarely use their power. So they have more capacity to take on Entropy than the older Dao Lords.
If they use a percentage system, it will take a lot less Entropy for Martial Will and Tepid Scholar to reach 90% of their limits. Compared to that, Heavenly Eye and Sword Maestro will have to take on a lot more Entropy to reach 90% of their limits.
In the worst case possible, Tepid Scholar and Martial Will might have already reached 90% of their Entropy limits. So if they were to use the percentage contribution system, these two wouldn’t need to contribute anything since they have reached their limit.
In that case, Sword Maestro and Heavenly Eye would have to do all of the work while Martial Will and Tepid Scholar watched with encouragement. Even if this doesn’t occur, it would mean that Sword Maestro’s and Heavenly Eye’s years of lying low would have gone to waste, and they would now be no better in terms of Entropy than the Dao Lords who liked to swing their weight around.
The fact that the remaining 10% of capacity for Martial Will and Tepid Scholar would be greater than the remaining 10% capacity for Heavenly Eye and Sword Maestro is just another unfair cherry at the top of an unfair cake.
This was why Heavenly Eye wanted everyone to contribute a fixed amount of Entropy to the cause of putting pressure on the dragon. On the plus side, she could use the fixed unit of contribution to force Tepid Scholar and Martial Will to 99% of their Entropy and maybe more.
If Tepid Scholar was the only one resisting, it would be deemed unreasonable to reject her suggestion, and he would be overwhelmed by the majority. But Tepid Scholar had convinced Martial Will to take his side even before the argument began, so now both sides had some legitimacy.
Both sides began to argue with each other, stating their points and standing stubbornly by their contribution system. With them arguing, they had stopped resisting the dragon.
They didn’t want to continue contributing when the other side was going to cheat. Only one Dao Lord was still resisting.
Only Black Chain was still resisting the dragon stubbornly. He didn’t engage in the argument because he didn’t need anyone to tell him to resist before resisting.
As the one primed to lose the most, he had the most important reason to continue resisting. He didn’t need anyone’s encouragement to resist, which could be called being brave, tenacious, and unwilling to accept defeat. Unfortunately, this wasn’t enough to turn the tide.
