Chapter 1450: Chapter 631: Whoever Wins, They Support

Forming an alliance with the Fool clearly wasn’t something that could be decided in the spur of the moment. The Dragon Clan elders discussed endlessly, completely forgetting about Mu You standing off to the side.

Mu You simply excused himself and stepped away, deciding to wait until they concluded their internal meeting.

Over the next day, Mu You roamed Dragon Valley with four young dragons, visiting all of its iconic locations.

During this tour, Mu You passed through the reception area where his three clones were stationed and discovered a Soul-inducing Lamp there.

[You lit the somewhat worn-looking Soul-inducing Lamp ahead...]

This Soul-inducing Lamp appeared to be left behind by one of the Fool’s Ancestors during their visit to Dragon Valley. Judging by its condition, it had hardly been used since its creation.

Evidently, the Fool’s Ancestors had failed to establish diplomatic ties with the Dragon Valley in the past, leaving the two groups with virtually no interactions thereafter.

And now, this diplomatic mission fell squarely on the shoulders of their descendants.

Yesterday, Mu You presented every argument he could think of. He believed his proposal was fairly enticing: seizing this opportunity while the Fool was still building its foundations to invest in their cause. If they managed to overthrow the Divine Race and rise as the dominant force of the world, the Dragon Clan stood to reap extraordinary rewards from this alliance.

Of course, the risk was that, should they fail, the Dragon Clan would also become a target of the Divine Race’s suppression.

What decision the Dragon Clan would ultimately make was something Mu You could not predict.

The Dragon Clan elders debated for an entire day and night.

On the following day, Mu You was once again invited into the council chamber.

"Fool, the Dragon Clan is willing to assist you in opposing the Divine Race of the City of Order, but on one condition: you must first resurrect the Blood God!"

Once Mu You arrived, the Black Dragon got straight to the point, declaring the outcome of their discussions: "We will only send our forces after we have seen the Blood God alive. Words are not enough; we cannot currently verify the accuracy of the information you provided about the Blood God Body."

"Moreover, let it be clear that, ostensibly, we are intervening this time to repay the Blood God’s favor..." the Black Dragon added as an afterthought.

It was evident that the Dragon Clan did not want to completely sever their ties with the Divine Race. This reasoning of "repaying a favor" was clearly a way to leave some room for maneuver.

"As for whether our two clans will cooperate further in the future... that will depend on how you perform..." the Black Dragon remarked with subtle implication.

"Understood..."

Mu You nodded slightly.

The subtext of this statement was clear: the Fool needed to prove their strength and, at the very least, demonstrate hope of toppling the Divine Race. Should they falter too severely, the Dragon Clan clearly would not pursue further collaborations.

Mu You wasn’t discouraged by this. On the contrary, he was rather satisfied with this result. Next, as long as they could display their potential, they could easily secure the Dragon Clan’s support.

After concluding negotiations with the Dragon Clan, Mu You didn’t waste any time. That very day, he had the Green Dragon escort him to the outskirts of the City of Order.

The Dragon Clan’s assistance hinged on the resurrection of the Blood God, and the foremost priority was to gather all pieces of the Blood God Body. The trunk of the Blood God, held within the City of Order, was a crucial piece that had to be obtained.

"Are you really sure you want to infiltrate solo?" The Green Dragon looked at the city nestled in the basin ahead, its expression a mix of concern and disbelief as it glanced at Mu You.

"We caused such a ruckus there the other day. The Divine Race has definitely bolstered their defenses—aren’t you afraid of being captured?" the Green Dragon asked.

"Don’t worry, I’ve got it under control." Mu You’s confidence was palpable. After all, his ability to resurrect gave him a unique advantage.

"Alright then..." Seeing Mu You’s calm demeanor, the Green Dragon decided against further persuasion. It retrieved a Crystal Stone from its body.

"By the way, take this. It’s a gift from our boss to thank you for saving his life."

"A Dragon Crystal?"

Mu You was visibly surprised as he took the item the Green Dragon handed over.

After rejecting the offer during negotiations yesterday, he hadn’t held out hope for it. Yet now, they had unexpectedly presented him with one.

Dragon Crystals were extraordinarily rare, even within Dragon Valley. Only a select few of the Dragon Clan’s elite had access to them. For such a valuable item to be handed to an outsider like him—was this really okay?

"Relax! The truth is, the elders had already given their approval before we dared to give this to you. My dad mentioned that if we outright gave you the Dragon Crystal, there might be objections from within the clan. So, by framing it as part of repaying our debt, we’re also discreetly showing our willingness to collaborate," the Green Dragon explained with a grin.

"I see..."

Mu You didn’t stand on ceremony and accepted the Dragon Crystal outright. This item was, without a doubt, immensely useful to him at the moment.

[You equipped the Dragon Crystal!]

[Your level has temporarily increased to Level 27, and your star level has temporarily advanced to 6 stars.]

The crystal needed to be equipped to take effect, and there was no limit to how many could be equipped at once. This meant that obtaining more Dragon Crystals could further boost one’s star level.

This presented a viable means of temporarily increasing star levels. When the time came to finalize an alliance with the Dragon Clan and face the Divine Beast, they could borrow a batch of Dragon Crystals to temporarily elevate the star levels of key combatants to Nine Stars, significantly narrowing the gap in power.

After parting ways with the Green Dragon, Mu You lingered for a while in the vicinity, waiting for nightfall before making his move.

[As night descends, you transform into a Night Bat and, under the cover of darkness, silently approach the city ahead...]

[Near the city walls, numerous Titan guards patrol back and forth, torches in hand, like tireless machines...]

Just as expected, the city’s defenses had indeed been visibly strengthened.
