Chapter 1074: Chapter 493: Conflicting Races

"What exactly happened?" Mu You asked curiously.

Fuya quickly recounted her experience in the game just now.

Mu You also frowned after listening. The future mutations had begun to indiscriminately attack fairies, and they seemed to have some contagious ability that could turn normal fairies into mutations as well.

That was probably why Fuya had never encountered any mutations in the future. The mutations from the previous era were not aggressive toward the native creatures of Sky City; in fact, they actively helped repel outsiders, which was beneficial to the fairies. Consequently, the fairies deliberately allowed the barbaric growth of the mutations.

However, in the current Bitter Garden, mutations had truly become "pests," and the fairies obviously couldn’t ignore them anymore. They would destroy them immediately upon appearance, which created the illusion that there were no mutations.

"So, the only piece of information we have now is about this place called ’The Darkest Cave,’ right?" Mu You looked toward Fuya.

"It’s just possible ... that imposter said Bitter Garden didn’t have such a place. I always feel it’s just a name made up on the spot to save his own life..." Fuya sighed helplessly.

"Uh-huh."

Mu You nodded. He wasn’t as pessimistic as Fuya. The Bitter Garden of the past and the future had undergone massive changes, just like Falling Flower City and Brilliant City. Things that didn’t exist in the future didn’t mean they didn’t exist in the past.

Thinking this, he quickly asked in his game.

[You asked the fairy girl and Tina if they knew a place called ’The Darkest Cave’?]

[The two fairies’ faces changed dramatically, and they both revealed expressions of surprise.]

["The Darkest Cave, formally known as ’The Darkest Cave,’ is a forbidden area in Bitter Garden. Legend has it that beneath The Darkest Cave lies a real Hell, and every fairy who enters there will be afflicted with a terrible curse. It is strictly forbidden for any fairy to approach or even talk about it..." the fairy girl cautiously explained.]

[Upon hearing this, Tina looked at the fairy girl somewhat unexpectedly: "You are just a nameless fairy; how do you know all this? These secrets should only be known to the upper-class fairies..."]

["Ah... because I used to be upper-class..." the fairy girl said, embarrassedly lowering her head.]

["I see, you made a mistake and were stripped of your name, huh..." Tina instantly understood the fairy girl’s situation, floated mid-air, arms crossed confidently: "Don’t worry, now that you are Tina’s companion, if Tina ever comes to power, I will first revise this outdated law and restore your name."]

["Thank you..." the fairy girl looked at Tina gratefully.]

Mu You was delighted to see the conversation in the text—there really was such a place!

[You quickly asked about the precise location of ’The Darkest Cave’.]

["The Darkest Cave, located about a hundred and thirty miles south of the central square of Bitter Garden, in a barren saline wasteland." Tina said.]

"Huh?"

Mu You was taken aback.

This location description might not mean anything to others, but he immediately thought of a place: Underground City!

As the City Lord, Mu You was extremely familiar with all the architectural layouts of Sky City, and the location mentioned by Tina corresponded in Dawn City as the exact location of the entrance to Underground City!

[You asked Tina if ’The Darkest Cave’ referred to the Underground City of Bitter Garden?]

["Underground City?" Tina looked at you with a puzzled expression, glanced at the fairy girl, both showing confused faces.]

["Bitter Garden doesn’t have any place called ’Underground City,’" Tina said.]

No Underground City?

Mu You was surprised. As the template for all the Sky Cities, how could this original Sky City not have an Underground City? Where did people here usually go to level up?

Wait...

Speaking of Underground City, Mu You suddenly realized a more important issue:

All their twelve Sky Cities were powered by the remnant of the God’s Corpse buried in the deepest part of the Underground Cities.

Then what was the power source for this original Sky City?

It was known that Bitter Garden was created at the same time when the gods came together to create the Star Spirit World.

At that time, the Divine Race was clearly still in its prime, with all the major gods present. It wasn’t likely that they had temporarily executed one of the gods to use their corpse to construct a city.

Humans could do this because the Divine Race had long been extinct. Without any constraints, they dared to act so recklessly.

But during the prime of the Divine Race, an entire civilization based on faith, using the bones of a leader for fuel was something they definitely couldn’t justify internally.

The question arose, if not the God’s Corpse, then what was the power source?

With this in mind, Mu You quickly took out the Miracle God Lamp and summoned the Lamp God for consultation.

"Bitter Garden’s power source?"

The Lamp God, who was awoken from a pleasant dream, was initially a bit irritable, but quickly froze upon hearing Mu You’s question.

"I haven’t really noticed that..."

"Ah? Didn’t you say you participated in the creation of the Star Spirit World??" Mu You looked at the Lamp God in surprise.

"I did participate in the creation of the Star Spirit World, but only a very small part of it. To be precise, I was only responsible for the design of the world’s lighting fixtures. Everything else was out of my scope," the Lamp God explained, slightly embarrassed. The creation of the world was a massive project, not something one or a few gods could handle. In fact, apart from a few special gods, most of the gods only took part in minor aspects of the work.
