As soon as Ruanruan said this, everyone didn't quite know what to say.
"Alright, since that's the goal you've set for yourself, then go ahead."
Grandpa Nangong patted Ruanruan on the shoulder and sighed, "We humans owe them too much."
Without needing further explanation, everyone knew who he referred to as "them." Human development relies on the natural resources of this world, but at the same time, it depletes and damages the world, leading to the extinction of many plants and animals.
Humans have encroached upon what belonged to animals and plants, yet don't understand how to protect them. These consequences will inevitably need repayment in the future.
Some have realized these potential dangers, so they have begun to take action to protect them. Yet destruction is often easier and more convenient than preservation.
A tree requires decades or even centuries to grow—that's a long and slow process. But destruction only takes a mere few hours. It's completely unbalanced.
