The relationship between both things would be seen clearly by those belonging to powerful factions in the universe, but even for the ancestor of Ronragruk, seeing the connection would have been difficult.
"Do you know that the most powerful factions of our universe don't take care of their children and let them become strong on their own without sheltering them nor putting too many burdens on them? Even it isn't strange sending them to foreign worlds as soon as they start training."
Ronragruk didn't know why Yale was saying those words, but he shook his head as he had never heard about that, and in fact, Yale didn't know about it either until a moment ago when that information appeared in his mind when thinking in how to explain it easy enough to let Ronragruk understand it on his own. After all, comprehending something by yourself was better than having the comprehension explained by others.
"There are two main reasons for that. The first is that powerful entities can affect the fate of others with just the slightest interaction and that can be bad to the children."
Even Liye's father had acted like that because although he created a world for his son, both of them didn't interact too much. As for Liye's mother, as far as Yale could remember, Liye had never met her before. Moreover, based on the information that appeared on Yale's mind, she was even stronger than her husband, so her influence to fate was far higher.
Of course, Yale guessed that at least she should have been there when Liye was still a little kid, but Yale doubted that even before reincarnation he was able to remember that.
"The second one is that growing in a sheltered environment or with a preset objective will hinder the development of the soul, which would become a huge problem when trying to reach higher levels of power. It is considered of utmost importance that the children take their own decisions and forge their own way until becoming strong."
When Yale finished explaining that part, Ronragruk's face changes as he finally comprehended the meaning of breaking the rules.
"Because I have always been following the duties left me by my ancestors, my soul is too weak and is hindering my advance..."
Yale smiled when he heard Ronragruk's mutter.
"You are right, but your soul is also weak because you relied on your bloodline too much, you need to experience some hardships to increase its power. However, it is impossible for your soul to improve as long as you are still shackled by the orders of your ancestors."
Having a weak soul for relying too much on the bloodline was a huge problem, but not an unsolvable one as long on put effort on training, but the other problem needed to be solved or the soul would never be able to strengthen correctly.
"Then, what I should do? I doubt that just by breaking the rules a bit my problem would be solved. Are you suggesting that I must kill all the tribe to break my relationship with them completely?"
Ronragruk couldn't agree to that since even just thinking about it made him feel bad. After all, he had lived with them for a lot of time, and he had taken a liking on them, so even if he could kill anyone else without any hesitation, he would only kill a member of the Dragon Tribe if that member committed a crime that deserved death based on the rules of the tribe.
"You don't need to jump from one extreme to the other... If you try that you may end turned into a mindless monster that slaughters everyone on his way, that isn't your objective."
Ronragruk sighed in relief and felt a bit embarrassed for having thought about that possibility. After all, he had just heard how Yale was planning to protect the lives of the lizardmen with his conditions, and it didn't fit that after asking for that kind of thing, he asked Ronragruk to slaughter the Dragon Race.
"You must leave the Dragon Race alone once you have ensured their safety. Not going out to train, leaving them. You need to travel among different worlds and temper your mind but worrying about them all the time would hinder your progress."
Those rules made by the ancestors had been hindering the dragons protecting the Dragon Race from a long time, and they had never been able to surpass the limits of their bloodline due to that.
The ancestors of Ronragruk had great problems having children, so they created the Dragon race, that although they weren't true dragons, they still have their bloodline, and in that way, they created a powerful faction on their world.
"Leaving them... I wonder if they would be able to survive without my protection..."
Yale sighed after hearing Ronragruk because he could understand his worries. After all, even Yale wouldn't have dared to leave behind Wyba to start traveling, as he would have worried by her too much, but fortunately, the Storage Space saved him from that problem.
"You don't need to act immediately, first should be the integration of the two tribes and the improvement of bloodlines for the lizardmen. Besides you, there are three Law Masters in the tribe, if some more appear, they should be able to resist by themselves. Moreover, you should make them have some real experiences on battled to make them improve."
Although the other three Law Masters were far weaker than Ronragruk, a great part of the reason was that their battle experience was far too lacking in comparison.
"You are right. I have waited for a lot of years, I don't care to wait some more, but once they are ready, I will depart. Now we should focus on improving those bloodlines."
At that moment, Ronragruk felt relieved as if he had got rid of a great burden in his heart.
Protecting the Dragon Race for all his life, while his own lifespan was unlimited, was a huge burden that had been on him since he was born, and he finally saw the end of that.
"Let's go outside and explain it first to the Dragon Race and the lizardmen that come with me. After that, you will make a short trip with me to the lizardman tribe."
