Chapter 599: Chapter 331 The Barrel Effect_2

Many people suddenly realized that they might have underestimated the strength of the Divine Right of Kings.

In the latest ’International Superpowers Ranking’, the Divine Right of Kings has surpassed Pluto, rising from the tenth position all the way to third.

With the Son of Heaven dispelling doubts, the topic of the Ghost Captain is once again raised: if the Divine Right of Kings is so formidable, how terrifying must be the Ghost Captain who was able to defeat their entire legion single-handedly?

Online users passionately argued about this point, taking great pleasure in the debate.

For his part, Mu You simply found it amusing. Everyone who had actually participated in the City Lord competition knew that the birth of each city lord was the result of a multifaceted game, influenced by many factors. There was never an instance where one side’s strength unequivocally suppressed the other’s.

"Sunrise City, huh..."

Mu You looked at the latest news on the forum, to his surprise, it was the Son of Heaven who had taken Sunrise City. Given the tight emergence of Sky City, he thought the Son of Heaven would have aimed at the last possible city.

Now, following Sunrise City, it should be Sun City, he wondered how things were proceed on Lion’s side...

Shaking his head, Mu You added Shadowless to his friend list, as usual, he provided both him and the Son of Heaven with the explanation about why Sky City couldn’t fly too high.

Shadowless, whom he was not familiar with, replied with a simple ’Understood’ and didn’t continue the conversation. He even didn’t ask for the reason.

The Son of Heaven was more straightforward, Mu You’s previous ambiguous cryptic remarks seemed to be ineffective on him.

"To be honest, I don’t understand."

This was the Son of Heaven’s reply after Mu You typed ’you understand, right?’.

"Where did you get this information? Is the source reliable? If so, what exists above? Is it the Deity, the enemy, the plague, or the natural disaster... Depending on different situations, our coping strategies will be vastly different." The Son of Heaven said, "In any case, I believe such matters should be clarified. Otherwise, ambiguous rules may lead to greater constraints, trapping us in self-imposed restrictions."

"Alright, in simple terms, this information came from another person. The original words were ’Sky City must not fly too high, or it will result in consequences we cannot afford...’ As for the direct consequences, the source didn’t say, and most likely can’t say... So, how we deal with this is up to us." Mu You typed.

"In other words, the 5000-meter height is just a figure you set to ensure safety, and in fact, you don’t know the specific height of the so-called ’above’... Even the authenticity of this information itself can’t be guaranteed, right?" The Son of Heaven would not let the matter rest until he got to the bottom.

"Yes."

Mu You typed: "But as we say in the Celestial Dynasty, it’s better believe it to exist than not. At the same time, the source of the information, to me personally, is highly reliable. So I have to treat this matter as real whether it is or not."

"I get it...

"The Son of Heaven replied, "You’re correct. Since we can’t figure out what’s situated above, we should be cautious: ensuring all Sky Cities maintain a low altitude, and keeping it a secret from the public as much as possible. Preferably, only the twelve City Lords should know."

Mu You: "Yes, so I am informing you, one by one..."

Son of Heaven: "Actually, it’s not necessary to inform the other City Lords. Anyone who can become a City Lord would usually act sensibly. The likelihood of them taking risks for excitement or out of resentment towards society is low.... However, it seems there’s already destabilizing element among the current City Lords."

Mu You: "You mean World Walker?"

Son of Heaven: "Yes."

Son of Heaven: "The weakest link in the chain theory. Of the twelve City Lords, even if the others all follow the rules, if one person behaves irrationally, it could jeopardize all our efforts. Based on the current actions of the Dawn City Lord, I have reasons to believe he knows more about Sky City than the rest of us."

World Walker chose to hide Dawn City from the world—an act that yields him no benefit, and yet, he did it. This suggests he knows something that others don’t.

Son of Heaven: "If he knowingly withholds this information from other City Lords like you did, refusing to communicate with anyone, it is very likely his initial goal was to send Dawn City above."

Son of Heaven: "As for why he hasn’t acted yet... perhaps there are other restrictions for staying ’above,’ his current silence could be him waiting for these conditions to be met."

Mu You: "So, what are you suggesting?"

Son of Heaven: "There is no solution to this... The only way is to find him and kill him before World Walker takes action!"

Mu You sighed at the Son of Heaven’s suggestion.

That was the crux of the matter. Despite the bounty on his head, given World Walker’s demonstrated abilities, no one seemed able to kill him. Instead, everyone who tried ended up being killed by him.

Eventually, Mu You and the Son of Heaven, besides acknowledging that World Walker was a kill on sight target, couldn’t yield any other conclusions. They could only agree to exchange intelligence about him whenever one of them received it.
