Chapter 803: 402

The Fool’s Ancestors used the God’s Corpse to create Sky City!

Many things become clear at this revelation.

The reason why Sky City can’t fly too high is not because there are any inherent restrictions on the city itself but because of the existence of the divine corpse. If it flies too high, it might be detected by certain entities above the Sky High.

And this ’existence’ above the Sky High might very well be the thing that caused the extinction of the Divine Race...

This also explains why the ’Shadow of the Shadow God’ rushed into Dawn City and desperately tried to break into the Underground City. It sensed the divine corpse there and wanted to take over the corpse as its own body, thereby restoring itself to a complete divine being.

Mu You took a deep breath and looked up at the titan floating before him.

As for the identity of this divine corpse, he could guess without needing to investigate.

It is the deity corresponding to the ’Statues of Gods’ in Dawn City—the God of Order!

Next, Mu You took out the Flying Broom and circled around the statue several times.

Unfortunately, except for the divine corpse, there was nothing else in this space. It was unnaturally clean.

It wasn’t until Mu You flew behind the statue’s neck that he saw a line of small characters carved into the skin of the back of its neck.

"Serial Number 001: God of Order. Excavator: Heinze Mckane. Time since excavation: 4504 years, 127 days, 6 hours, 3 minutes, and 8 seconds..."

It truly is the God of Order!

What shocked Mu You even more was that the ’time since excavation’ was actually updating in real time!

Within the few seconds that Mu You was watching, he saw the timer go from ’3 minutes and 8 seconds,’ increasing by one second at a time, continually ticking upwards.

This magical method of time measurement is not too difficult to understand in this Magic World. What truly surprised Mu You was the time itself: more than 4500 years!

And according to the notes Mu You previously obtained from the person behind the scenes at the Gathering of the Undead, a Great Cataclysm occurs every 4000 years, which would destroy all existing things in the Star Spirit World. Now, there are only a little over a hundred years left until the next Great Cataclysm, which means the current Star Spirit World has only been in existence for a bit over 3800 years.

Yet the text here indicates that the Fool’s Ancestors have existed for more than 4500 years...

This means that the Fools’ most ancient ancestors were not beings born in the current era of the Star Spirit World but a civilization that survived the last Great Cataclysm!

Before Mu You could contemplate any further, as he approached within ten meters of the divine corpse, a prompt suddenly appeared in his mind.

[Detection of your status as City Lord of Dawn City, you have gained preliminary recognition from the God of Order.]

[Would you like to initiate the inheritance mission of the God of Order?]

"Inheritance mission!"

Mu You was somewhat surprised. Previously, Lin Xue also obtained the inheritance mission from the Grim Reaper and, after completing all the missions, acquired the skin of the Grim Reaper.

Then this inheritance mission should be something similar. Accepting it offers the chance to obtain the God of Order’s skin.

"Yes."

This was not something to hesitate about—Mu You directly chose to accept.

To know, Divine Skin is not something you can activate just by encountering a divine corpse. You must first be recognized by the deity; moreover, you need the corresponding bloodline.

From the explanation it seems evident, the God of Order is highly bound to the City Lord of Dawn City. Without that status, even if Mu You claimed the divine corpse as his own, it would be impossible to activate the inheritance mission. In other words, the status of City Lord is the key that allows the god to be willing to share its energy with you, and the bloodline is the prerequisite for your body to be capable of receiving the god’s inheritance.

Lin Xue was fortunate. She herself is descended from the Grim Reaper clan, her bloodline and identity were recognized from the start, so she didn’t need to search for Divine Blood or have the status of City Lord, which greatly simplified the process.

[Acceptance failed, detection of other divine creatures attached to you. According to the ’Divinity Repulsion’ principle, you cannot receive the inheritance of another deity.]

"?"

Mu You was taken aback.

Already attached by another divinity?

He instinctively looked towards the ground. Could it be referring to the Shadow Fur Ball?

The only being related to divinity on him that he could think of was the Shadow Fur Ball.

With that thought, Mu You flew back down to the ground and summoned the Shadow Fur Ball.

Half of the Shadow Fur Ball’s head emerged from the shadow. Seeing Mu You’s outstretched hand, it excitedly jumped into his hands.

But the next second, it was thrown away by Mu You.

The Shadow Fur Ball bounced several times on the ground before coming to a stop, then looked back at Mu You with a puzzled expression, only to see Mu You waving his hands at it, making shooing gestures, signaling it to go further away.

Two teary eyes filled the Shadow Fur Ball’s gaze as it looked pitifully at Mu You and hopped towards him once more.

Mu You resignedly summoned the Shadow Ghost again.

The next moment, the Shadow Ghost popped out from the Shadow Space, apparently agitated at being disturbed from its rest, glaring at Mu You with annoyance.

Upon Mu You’s explanation, it quickly redirected its irritation toward the innocent Shadow Fur Ball.

The Shadow Ghost swiftly rushed over, grabbed the Shadow Fur Ball, and went off to the corner of the hall to play ’hit the fur ball.’

Mu You took the opportunity to return in front of the divine corpse.

[Would you like to initiate the inheritance mission of the God of Order?]

"Yes."

[Initiation successful!]

As expected, as long as the Shadow Fur Ball was kept at a distance, the inheritance could be accepted.

No wonder the Shadow Fur Ball was smacked away by the Grim Reaper when it tried to choose Lin Xue as its host.

The Divinity Repulsion principle...
