Ao Bing wearily rubbed his temples and said, "There have been some setbacks, but overall, things are moving in a positive direction. The resistance from the conservatives is greater than I imagined, but more and more members of the Dragon Tribe recognize the necessity for change."
Nezha handed Ao Bing a cup of hot tea. "Don't push yourself too hard. Reform is a long-term process; it can't be accomplished overnight."
Gratefully accepting the teacup, Ao Bing took a gentle sip. "Speaking of which, I owe you my thanks. If it weren't for you breaking the fate between the Demon Orb and the Dragon Tribe, I might never have dared to propose these reforms."
Nezha smiled broadly. "It's nothing special; I just did what I thought was right. But you, from being a rule-following prince to becoming a reformer who dares to challenge tradition—that's a true transformation."
Ao Bing gazed thoughtfully at the distant sky. "Actually, I've always had my own ideas; I just didn't dare to express them in the past for fear of disappointing my father and the Dragon Tribe. Now I understand that the real disappointment comes from knowing there are problems but choosing to remain silent."
Nezha reached out and held Ao Bing's hand. "I'm proud of you, Ao Bing. You will become the greatest leader in the history of the Dragon Tribe, leading them toward new glory."
Ao Bing smiled slightly. "There's still a long way to go. By the way, how is your Demon Orb Research Project progressing?"
At the mention of this, Nezha instantly perked up. "It's fantastic! I've discovered that Demon Sphere Power can be applied in many ways—not just for destruction but also for healing, protection, and even creation! I'm trying to use Demon Sphere Power to purify contaminated water sources, and the results are quite promising."
Ao Bing's eyes lit up. "That's amazing! If this technology can be applied to ocean pollution management, it would be a tremendous boon for both the Dragon Tribe and humanity!"
Nezha nodded. "That's what I think too. Moreover, through this project, more people are beginning to change their views on the Demon Orb—not seeing it as a symbol of evil but as a power that can be used for good."
The two excitedly discussed their plans and discoveries, their eyes filled with anticipation for the future. Just then, Ao Bing's communicator suddenly rang—it was an urgent contact from the Dragon Palace.
"Your Highness," an urgent voice came through the communicator, "Beihai is experiencing an unprecedented pollution event; a large number of coral reefs have died, and marine life is suffering massive poisoning—it's critical!"
Ao Bing's expression changed immediately. "What are the specifics?"
"Preliminary investigations indicate that this is a chemical plant leak caused by humans, with toxic substances directly discharged into the ocean, resulting in immeasurable losses. His Majesty wishes for you to return to the palace immediately to preside over an emergency meeting."
Ao Bing stood up at once. "I will return right away."
After hanging up, Ao Bing briefly explained the situation to Nezha. "The Beihai pollution incident is serious; I must go back immediately."
Nezha also stood up. "I'll go with you! If it's chemical pollution, maybe my purification technology can help."
Ao Bing hesitated for a moment. "This incident involves human responsibility and may provoke some resentment and hostility from the Dragon Tribe. Are you sure you want to go?"
Nezha nodded without hesitation. "Of course! This is a great opportunity to prove that humans and the Dragon Tribe can cooperate and that Demon Sphere Power can be used for good purposes. I can't miss it!"
Moved by Nezha's determination, Ao Bing nodded in agreement. "Alright then, let's go together."
