Chapter 1426: Chapter 622: No Room for Retreat, A Place That Must Be Contested!

"We, in Turtle City, were immune to the parasitism of the Divine Beast, so they sent a large army to besiege the City of Order."

"So, we, the last survivors, around the City of Order, engaged in a protracted battle with those infected by the Divine Race, until we had exhausted every last one of our clan members..."

"Not a single one of us surrendered or fled; everyone fought to the death until the last moment... those bones you see in the game, they all belong to the warriors from those days of resistance..." The Lamp God reminisced with heavy sighs about those bygone years.

After listening, Mu You stroked his chin: "So, does that mean, beneath this city, there lies a mass of bones from the Divine Race, and possibly the bones of high-level gods?"

"Yes, not to mention anyone else, at least my own bones are buried within the city." The Lamp God nodded.

"In that case, the Divine Beast occupies this city in order to dig up the Divine Corpse and recover authority?" Mu You pondered.

"Very likely..." The Lamp God said gravely, "Of course, my own authority is unique; it does not reside in the Divine Bones but is sealed within my soul by the Miracle Force. Even if they find my corpse, it will be of no use to them."

"However, other gods weren’t so lucky. The authority of the majority of gods still remains in their bones, and indeed, if their bones can be found, the authority can be extracted in reverse..." The Lamp God said, frowning. If even the last batch of authorities were to fall into the hands of the Divine Beast, it would be even harder to deal with.

"Wait a minute..." Mu You suddenly spoke up, puzzled, "If all of you perished in the City of Order back then, how did the bones of the gods from the twelve Sky Cities come about?"

According to the Lamp God, back then, the entire Sky High had already fallen to the Divine Beast, leaving only the City of Order as a lone city. Even if those gods could break through the siege, there would be nowhere to go.

Yet, the Divine Corpse of at least twelve cities’ gods was found in the Star Spirit World.

Unless...

"There’s no need to be puzzled. The reason these Divine Corpses are found in the Star Spirit World is because there’s a passage from the City of Order to the Star Spirit World," the Lamp God said.

"Oh? What kind of passage?" Mu You asked.

"Server number 1! That is, the server exclusively for the God of Order!"

The Lamp God explained, "It’s just that, living members of the Divine Race, due to their body’s intense energy, would destroy the server’s exit if they were to forcibly enter it, so only bones can be sent through."

"Moreover, the server’s exit was cursed by the God of Chaos back then. Only the Divine Corpse of some high-level gods, which can withstand the Poison of Chaos, meaning those above twelve stars, could go through."

"To prevent our bodies from being used by the Divine Beast even after death, we put all the corpses of the fallen high-level gods into the server and then sealed the server’s exit."

"The rest of us, tens of thousands strong, on the last day when the city was breached, detonated our own flesh and blood and placed a poisonous oath and curse on ourselves: Even in death, we would not cease to resist the Divine Beast, and our bones would continue to corrupt any Divine Beast that dared to touch us."

"Therefore, in that final battle, although the Divine Beasts won, they couldn’t take advantage. All the Divine Beasts that entered the city were obliterated with us in our self-destruction.

Meanwhile, the whole City of Order was shrouded by our soaring resentment, turning into a Dead City. Any creature daring to set foot in it would be poisoned by the soaring resentment. The Divine Beasts could only stay far away, not even able to take their companions’ corpses..."

After listening, Mu You let out a breath and felt somewhat moved.

It seems that the Divine Race did not face extinction without any resistance; they had found a way to fight against the Divine Beast in the end.

It’s just a pity that their awakening came a bit too late; at that time, the Divine Beast had already contaminated the majority of the Divine Race, their power was well-established, and the remaining survivors alone were not enough to resist the Divine Beast’s onslaught, ultimately leading to their extinction.

Fortunately, the Divine Race managed to preserve the last remnants of their kind before perishing, providing a glimmer of hope for future generations to turn the tide.

"At that time, I escaped to the Star Spirit World with the Miracle God Lamp. I didn’t see what happened afterward, but the City of Order must have become thoroughly an unapproachable Dead City... However, after so many years, much of the resentment in the city must have dissipated, which is why the Divine Beast could make a comeback and re-enter the City of Order," the Lamp God mused.

"I see..."

Mu You nodded, surmising that the Divine Beast must have only recently entered the City of Order.

Because a thousand three hundred years ago, when the Fool’s Ancestors were still waging wars in Sky High, they had not encountered any Titans near that Sky City.

This suggests that the Divine Beast probably discovered the City of Order was accessible after the Fool’s Ancestors left, and so they sent troops to occupy it in hopes of retrieving the bones and Divine Artifacts of the gods who had perished in that final battle.

If that’s the case, then the strategic value of this city is immense!

The Divine Corpse, authority, and those Divine Artifacts buried within are like a gold mine.

Initially, Mu You had thought that with so many Titans inside the city, it would be best for Sunset City to retreat and avoid the danger.

But now, it seems they simply cannot leave.

Whether it’s for the Divine Beast or for the Fool, this city is a place that must be fought over!
