This led Su Mo into a misconception. He mistakenly believed that other humans in The New World would be like his territory residents in the basin—willing to trust him unconditionally and work hard for tomorrow. But now, this slap to the face came too fast and too hard. With just one blow, it made him realize how outrageous his previous thoughts had been.
"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, and an ocean is formed by countless streams," he reflected inwardly. "Staying cooped up in my territory, operating in a vacuum, really drove me deeper into this misconception. It could have caused a massive disaster. Fortunately, this lesson hasn't come too late. I still have plenty of time and opportunities to correct it!"
