Chapter 721: A Blank Future
"What?" The lamp god was stunned.
He thought Mu You could see the future, so he would at least bring some good news.
But he said bluntly that they would lose this battle, and in such a firm tone...
"In the future I saw, most of the future nodes are extremely changeable, but in the result of this battle, the results are surprisingly consistent. No matter how hard we try, no matter how many attempts we make, the results all converge on the path of 'losing'." Mu You said.
"There is no way. The foundation of human beings is too shallow. In the last battle of the City of Order, we were able to win because we took advantage of the geographical situation and took advantage of many aspects. In fact, the gap between our hard power and the Devouring Beast is still huge."
"Even if the dragons and savages participate in the war, we will definitely lose in this comprehensive battle."
"Because the enemy does not need to defeat us, they only need to open up a road to the Star Spirit Realm. The enemy will attack five sky cities at the same time. If any city is lost, it means we fail." Mu You said.
"Then... are we still going to fight?" The lamp god was a little bitter.
The most terrifying thing is not the war, but knowing that one's side will lose before the war begins. Is there any meaning in fighting this war?
"Fight!"
Mu You nodded: "Because we are bound to lose, there is only one way left for us, that is, to cut off the enemy's parasitic ability before the end of this war."
"Cut off the parasitic ability... you mean, go directly..."
The lamp god was stunned, and quickly reacted.
According to the news brought back by Jushe and others, the mother of the parasitic beast is likely to be hidden in that remote earthen city, and it seems that it cannot be moved.
Now that the army of the God Devouring Beast has been dispatched, almost all the troops have been mobilized to the front line to fight the Fool to the death, then their nest will be empty instead, which is a rare opportunity to steal the home!
If we can directly deal with the opponent's nest and eliminate the mother of the God Devouring Beast in time, then even if humans are defeated and invaded by the God Devouring Beasts to the Earth and the Star Spirit Realm, they will no longer pose any fatal threats to the two worlds.
The God-Eating Beast that has lost its reproductive ability can no longer parasitize. If one dies, there will be one less. With the number of humans, even if the strength of each individual is humble, it can easily consume these invaders with human lives!
"Is there no other way?" asked the herbalist.
Mu You shook his head: "In countless futures that are bound to lose, stealing the home is the only feasible route I see, and I am sure that the God of Chaos has also seen this future node."
Peeping into the future will leave traces. Mu You vaguely felt a hint of chaos in that high-dimensional space, so he knew that Chaos must have been there before. The future he saw in that space, Chaos had also seen it.
It's just that the perspectives of the two are slightly different. The future they see is from the perspective of the future itself, and the future scenes they see are very limited, not omniscience of the entire future.
There are still many things in the future that they cannot control that are invisible to their perspective.
"Wait, you said that Chaos can also foresee the future? Doesn't that mean that he knows that we are going to steal the home?" The lamp god was stunned.
"Yes, he knows."
Mu You said seriously: "Moreover, the other party is very clear that once the war starts, we will have no choice, but he still chooses to send troops to attack us at the first time, which is actually forcing us to go and 'steal' as soon as possible..."
"Ah? This...can't be a trap..." The lamp god was at a loss. The enemy took the initiative to 'invite' them to steal the house. This is a Hongmen Banquet no matter how you look at it!
"No."
Mu You shook his head: "We have no choice, but the other party also has no other way to go."
"Oh? How do you say that?"
"What I can be sure of is that the God Devouring Beast is also trapped in some kind of predicament. Just like we are always shrouded in the threat of the Great Disaster, the God Devouring Beasts are also facing a crisis of genocide."
"Therefore, the God of Chaos stands in the perspective of the God Devouring Beast and sees the same future as us. Launching this war, or forcing us to steal the home, is also the only way for them to have a chance to solve their own crisis."
"So, it's not that the God of Chaos is deliberately setting up a trap to seduce us to "steal the home", but he can only do this, otherwise he will be swallowed up by the greater crisis behind him..." Mu You said.
"It can only be done this way..."
The lamp god was a little surprised. The God of Chaos is almost the top existence in the whole world. He can't imagine what kind of power can force the existence of the God of Chaos into a desperate situation...
"What about the result of stealing the home, success or failure, did you see it?" asked the herbalist.
"No."
Mu You sighed and shook his head.
In the future scene he saw, the future that was supposed to continue to diverge with the passage of time, strangely shrank at this node.
It was as if there was an invisible hand in the dark, forcibly gathering the world line that was supposed to have infinite possibilities at this node.
"Next, whether it is us or the God Devourer, taking other routes will all lead to neat failures, and only this road is left.
But at the end of this road, it is not success or failure, but a blank..." Mu You said.
"Blank?" Everyone was stunned.
"Yes, the future I saw only reached the moment when we decided to steal the house. There was no scene after that. I believe that the God of Chaos saw the same thing. The future of all of us came to an abrupt end at this point." Mu You said.
"Why is this happening?" asked the lamp god.
"It means that there is some kind of bug at this time point. Before the bug is solved, everyone's future will not be visible. It's like a rope with a dead knot. No one can pass it before the dead knot is untied.
It's the same for us or the God Devourer. No matter who wins or loses, we have to untie this knot first and sort out this time point before the future will become clear again." Mu You said.
Everyone looked at each other. Mu You's explanation was a bit brain-burning, but they still understood the basic meaning: whether it succeeds or fails, this is a road that must be taken.
"But how do we get through? It seems that it's too late, right?" The night watchman frowned and said at this time.
He had been to that earthen city himself, so he knew how far the journey was. At the speed of the natural disaster beast, it would take nearly two weeks to travel, not to mention the walking speed of normal people.
The enemy's attack would start in three or four days. By the time they slowly arrived there, several cities would have been broken.
The only thing that could take them to a long-distance fixed-point teleportation was the Space God's power, but the Space God's power was just obtained by Blood Emperor not long ago, and many of its abilities had not been developed in time.
What's more, the teleportation of the Space God's power consumes energy, and the more powerful the individual, the more energy it consumes. At the beginning, the 12-star Space God died on the spot in order to remotely summon the God of Chaos, not to mention that Blood Emperor, who had not yet become a god, was simply unrealistic to rely on the Space God's power.
Mu You shook his head: "No need to be so troublesome, there is a way that allows us to airdrop directly into the enemy's lair without loss."
"What method?" The night watchman asked subconsciously.
"Don't forget how we took so many people to Gaotian in the first place." Mu You said.
"Sky City!" The night watchman's eyes lit up.
Yes, using the Sky City, we can take off directly from the Star Spirit Realm and reach the High Sky World in a few hours. As long as we locate the location of the earth city in advance when flying, we can directly parachute into the enemy's base camp!
And if we use the Sky City, there is no limit on the number of people, as many people as you want can go.
"So, we have to choose one of the remaining three Sky Cities as a sacrifice?" The night watchman subconsciously thought about the situation of the three cities.
Before the nine black holes, they used nine cities to repair the sky. Now there are only three cities left in the Star Spirit Realm: Twilight, Dark Night and Evernight.
But no matter which city flies into the sky, it will be almost destroyed if it hits it directly, and the residents on it must be evacuated in advance.
"In fact, there is no need to sacrifice our city..."
Lin Xue suddenly said at this time: "There are more than twelve Sky Cities."
"By the way, Bitter Garden!"
Reminded by Lin Xue, everyone immediately remembered this. In addition to the Fool's twelve sky cities, there is a thirteenth city, the Bitter Garden, which is the earliest existing sky city and the prototype of all the sky cities that came later.
Now the natives of the Bitter Garden have all moved away, and even the imprisoned snakes underground have been released. The Bitter Garden has completely become a deserted city, which is perfect for being used as a "hot air balloon" to crash into the enemy's lair.
The plan has been determined, and time is limited. Next, everyone hurriedly began to prepare for war.
The intelligence about the future, the movements of the Devouring God Beast, and their agreed plan to steal the home were quickly conveyed to the major giants.
Just two hours later, major forces around the world and politicians from various countries jointly issued a signed announcement, announcing that the world has entered a unified wartime state, calling on players all over the world to unite and fight to protect the world.
The whole world was mobilized.
All topics in the Fool Forum and other discussion circles were instantly replaced by the upcoming "decisive battle".
This time is different from the last battle in the City of Order. This time it is a battle of survival for the future of all mankind. If we win, we will all run towards a better future together. If we lose, we will all welcome the end of the world together. In short, everyone has a responsibility in this battle, and everyone must contribute their own strength as much as possible.
A large-scale general mobilization was launched in such a grand manner. Nearly one billion players who logged into Gaotian around the world received mobilization emails from major officials or organizations.
Of course, such a large number of personnel mobilization, assembly and reorganization require more work than you can imagine, and the time is only a few days. Even if the major organizations have discussed a basic framework in the preliminary meeting, when they actually do it, they are still messed up by endless problems.
At this time, the advancement of AI is reflected. With the assistance of Ava's super computing power, all personnel arrangement and allocation issues are sorted out one by one. According to the future enemy attack intelligence provided by Muyou, an optimal combat plan involving one billion people is given in an orderly manner, and specific tasks are assigned to each player, and sent to each person's forum terminal in turn.
Mu You simply didn't intervene in this matter, leaving it all to Ava and the real military leaders to deal with. He wanted to concentrate on preparing for the decisive battle with the God of Chaos.
During this time, Mu You also took time to go to the Ring Forest and Dragon Valley. He had previously won over these two forces for today. Now that the decisive battle was imminent, these two tribes must be called to help.
In the Ring Forest, after Mu You became the Son of Moon Festival, he no longer needed to clear his divinity when he returned to the Ring Forest. Monsters along the way would only surrender to him and would no longer run wild.
Mu You entered the depths of the Ring Forest and negotiated with the wildlings.
The wildlings naturally supported the decision of the Son of Moon Festival, and coupled with their hatred for the God Devourer, they agreed to fight after a little mobilization.
In the end, except for a small number of young and strong wildlings who were left to defend their homes, the remaining sentinels were almost all sent out, a total of two million young and strong wildlings, led by Mu Luo and Tian Lang, left the Ring Forest in a mighty manner, and entered the City of Order through the teleportation point on the edge of the Ring Forest.
The wildlings were easy to say, they were also facing the threat of the God Devourer, and they were supposed to stand together with the Fool, so they naturally supported it.
As for the Dragon Clan, they also agreed to join the war, but they would definitely not join the war without regard for sacrifice like the wildlings.
Mu You and Blood God personally went to Dragon Valley. After some negotiations with the dragons, the dragons finally agreed to help them defend Sunset City and Order City, which were closest to Dragon Valley, but other places were out of reach.
Mu You was already quite satisfied with this result. After all, the relationship between the dragons and the Devouring God Beasts had not yet reached an irreconcilable point. Participating in the war was more of a friendly support for Mu You and Blood God's face. It was already very nice to be able to help to this extent.
The defense arrangements of the other cities were also progressing in an orderly manner.
Only in the personnel arrangement of the "stealing plan", everyone had a disagreement.
"You plan to go with only four people? No, it's too messy!"
The lamp god was shocked when he heard that Mu You actually only planned to take two clones and Lin Xue to find the God of Chaos.
In his opinion, since it was called "stealing the home", he had to bring enough high-end combat power like the last time he attacked the Order City. Anyway, it was taken by the Sky City, and as many people as possible could be accommodated, the more people went, the better.
Mu You shook his head: "Now there are only two natural disaster beasts and two trusted gods guarding the Chaos God's side. Not even a soldier was left, because he knew that in the battle between the Heavenly Dao and the natural disaster beasts, ordinary soldiers and even ordinary gods could not play a role at all, and staying would be a death sentence."
"And this is the same for us."
Mu You has seen the future, so he knows very well that the battlefield between him and the Chaos God is not something that ordinary people can intervene in.
This time is different from the last time in the City of Order. The so-called high-end human combat power is actually not even at the god level. In front of the natural disaster beasts, they can die with just a breath. Mobilizing them to the other side will not only not help him, but Mu You will have to distract himself to protect them.
If it is even possible, Mu You does not even plan to take Lin Xue with him. He only needs him and his two clones to take the two natural disaster beasts to participate in the battle.
The reason why he finally decided to take Lin Xue with him was because she insisted on going with him. After integrating the divine power of mind reading and assimilating matter, Lin Xue now has enough self-protection power to survive on that battlefield.
Second, in the last scene of the future that Mu You saw, Lin Xue was by his side... (End of this chapter)
