Chapter 1611: Chapter 690: The Hopeless Generation

Someone has already found the World-Creating Mountain?

Mu You was startled upon hearing this and quickly asked, "Who is it?"

"If the information is accurate, it should be that old guy ’Zuo Qiu’..." one of the elders replied.

"Zuo Qiu?"

Mu You was taken aback. He had some impression of this name. During the previous admins’ meeting, a few people had mentioned him. He was the administrator who defected, the old man who previously stole from Dawn City.

"Yes."

The few nodded, all showing slight embarrassment on their faces.

"Three days ago, that old guy sent us a message through the World-Creating Mountain saying that he had found its location."

"At first, we thought he was planning to invite us to go there..."

"But instead, he refused to tell us the location and specifically named you to go!"

"Me?" Mu You was surprised.

"Yes, we don’t know why either. The other side requires you to go alone, allowing you to bring at most one person... Moreover, he didn’t leave any location, only saying you would know where he is..." the elder said with a strange look.

"Oh?"

Mu You understood by now.

No wonder Lin Xue felt the Grim Reaper’s aura from Red Sleeve. It was apparent that Red Sleeve and that old man were together, and the other side instructed her to do so to point Lin Xue in the right direction.

At most, let him bring one person, which was obviously Lin Xue.

This was clearly an invitation for the two of them to meet privately.

"No way? You actually know where he is?" The few elders were somewhat surprised to see that Mu You had no questions after hearing the message and was instead contemplating the pros and cons.

Mu You did not hide it and explained the relationship between Lin Xue and Red Sleeve.

"So that’s how it is..."

The few admins exchanged glances and suddenly realized they planned to rely on the mutual sensing of divine power to guide the way.

"However, this invitation feels off..." one elder frowned.

"Indeed, it feels like a Hongmen Banquet!" another agreed.

The other side clearly knew that for them to complete the Salvation Plan, finding the World-Creating Mountain as soon as possible was essential, so they dared to send such a request.

And the other side was so blatantly pointing out for Mu You to go and not letting him bring any help. It seemed like a trap waiting for him to fall into.

The few discussed silently for a few moments and unanimously agreed it was a trap, finally all looking at Mu You, hoping he would consider carefully.

"It’s okay, even if it’s a trap, I have to go see for myself."

Mu You shook his head. Finding the World-Creating Mountain was their necessity, and the other side was making an open move.

Moreover, it wasn’t just the old man who wanted to find him; he also needed to find the other side to recover the Time Divine Power. Since the other side chose to appear, he couldn’t miss the chance.

As for the risks... Mu You was confident that his current strength could ignore most risks. If the other side could really set up something he couldn’t handle, they wouldn’t need to invite him in such a roundabout way.

"Are you really going? Be cautious! Although that guy won’t betray the Fool, his methods are rather extreme..." the leading elder said worriedly.

Mu You was their hope now and the most crucial piece of the Salvation Plan. Anyone could have an accident, except him.

Mu You nodded: "Alright, I’ll be careful... But before that, I need to know what this person’s true goal is."

This old guy named Zuo Qiu, who split with a few admins and left alone, also trained Z-World Travelers and Red Sleeve as his operatives, easily taking over Dawn City.

It’s evident this is a very capable former Fool who knows many things, and every step seems to have a clear plan.

So Mu You is very curious, what is this person’s ultimate goal?

"Well..."

The few admins exchanged glances, all looking a bit embarrassed.

"In fact, we’re not entirely sure either."

"After the minor Cataclysm, we were lucky to escape back to the Star Spirit World and, following the leaders’ last wishes, began quietly setting up the ’Salvation Plan.’

But Zuo Qiu disagreed with this plan. He believed that the newly born Fools had not experienced the last Great Cataclysm, nor the harshness of the Sky High World. Born and raised in the Forgotten Land’s greenhouse, the new generation would undoubtedly be hopeless.

Moreover, placing all the world’s salvation hopes entirely on the new generation was an irresponsible act."

"And just because of this, he split with you?" Mu You had a strange expression.

"Yes."

The elder nodded: "But his argument is not entirely without basis. Perhaps due to the long-term influence of living in the Forgotten Land, which is devoid of any peculiar energy, the bloodline strength of the Fools growing in such an environment indeed has been declining with each generation.

The batch of first-generation Fools born four thousand years ago, to this day, remains the most talented batch in history. In that primitive era, their active role laid a solid foundation for the subsequent development of the tribe.

Until fifteen hundred years ago, when we decided to go to the Sky High World, the first-generation Fools, though very aged at that time, still bore the backbone force of the tribe. It wasn’t that they didn’t want to step down, but there was simply no suitable descendant to replace them."

And precisely because of this, when we faced setbacks in the Sky High World and the leaders decided to sacrifice themselves, entrusting hope to the descendants, Zuo Qiu firmly opposed, believing only the first-generation Fools were capable of completing salvation..."
