Ye Shen raised his eyebrows in surprise, not expecting a girl from Prison Star to be so knowledgeable.
Ye Shen said, "That's right, but that's just the perception of the land-dwellers. In reality, the residents of all four continents have adapted to Darwin's theory of evolution and continued to propagate and thrive under the sea. They consider themselves ocean people and think themselves superior, disdaining any interaction with land-dwellers. Hence, land-dwellers are unaware of their existence. If it weren't for my mother, land-dwellers might still be unaware of the existence of a technologically advanced Atlantis in the Atlantic Ocean. This is what you call a hierarchy of contempt, understand?"
Si Mingjing nodded. "I understand, the omnipresent hierarchy of contempt. Even on land, it can't be avoided, with whites despising blacks, the rich looking down on the poor, and Earthlings scorning people from Prison Star."
Ye Shen snapped his fingers. "Exactly."
