Chapter 1866: Chapter 457: Great Capital Council
South Bay Group, rooftop of the building.
Chen Mei, wearing a baseball cap, sat on the edge of the thirty-ninth floor, overlooking the buildings below.
Over the years, Da Du has become more prosperous. From this height, the entire district looks like a crown studded with gems, but there is just one area that remains unpolished, appearing very rough. That area has no skyscrapers, only rows of red walls and white tiles, looking quite old and out of place.
That is the old town.
A man stood next to Chen Mei.
Song Ci’s gaze fell on the old town, and he said calmly, "Of the entire Da Du, I like that place the most."
"It’s a pretty good place."
Chen Mei hadn’t visited the old town many times. Things from the last century are preserved there... whether it’s the architectural style or the way people interact.
In Da Du, almost no one greets passersby anymore.
But walking in the old town is different.
The last time Chen Mei and Song Ci took a spin around the old town, they encountered a dozen or so friendly neighbors along the way.
It is precisely because of Song Ci that the old town is "well-preserved," and the entire Jiangnan Region knows the power of the "Crow." The South Bay’s Flowers are united, and the Sincere Heart Association makes no distinction between North and South. Among the most powerful young Transcendents in the East Continent, Song Ci holds a place, and it’s a prominent one, far ahead of the others.
"However, times will change."
Chen Mei said softly, "The situation in Central Continent has already spread. Da Du urgently sealed off the news, but it was useless... It won’t be long before the whole world enters the ’Extraordinary Era’. "
With the advent of the Extraordinary Era, no one knows what the East Continent will become.
Of course.
Chen Mei is not worried that the status of South Bay will change because of it.
Once the Extraordinary Era arrives, mega-oligarchic groups like the South Bay and Flowers will only have a more solid position.
The Five Families will always be the Five Families.
The status of the "leader" will only be higher than before.
What Chen Mei worries about is... how the ensuing war will be resolved.
"I heard that many ’distinguished guests’ have already arrived in Da Du today."
He looked up, lifting his cap slightly, looking at the silhouettes of the Source Energy Boats hidden above the clouds.
Those Source Energy Boats sailed from various regions of the East Continent and North Continent.
Only those who are at least responsible for guarding a medium-sized Fortress are qualified to ride the Source Energy Boats south to Da Du.
Or, they are significant figures with parliamentary-level influence in both continents.
Due to the urgency of the situation.
Central City didn’t even allow these guardians to gather first.
"Indeed. Da Du... has never been this lively."
Song Ci, hands in his pockets, also looked up, raising his eyebrows and smiling, "Don’t overthink it, kid. You always look worried. If a fight breaks out, just charge forward. If you’re afraid to die, just stick behind me."
"..."
Chen Mei didn’t know what to say.
Song Ci, this guy, is a pure hothead.
There’s not much in his mind.
But... he’s very straightforward.
This guy is "direct," not "dumb."
In fact, solving problems with force is the greatest truth in this world.
The reason the East Continent and North Continent have delayed declaring war on the Source Tower for so many years... is simply that the strength is lacking.
If the strength were sufficient, why delay?
The reverse is also true.
If Qinglong were truly powerful enough to stir the clouds with a single hand, directly wiping out the two-continent alliance, why form a "fake alliance" with Light City?
No one wants to see a Divine War erupt.
No one is confident in controlling this war.
But once it breaks out, indeed non-decision-makers only need to follow orders and charge forward.
"If I have a choice, I still wish for world peace."
Chen Mei sighed, "Central Continent has already started promoting universal awakening... Once the war breaks out, I can’t imagine the cost the East Continent will bear."
Now Meng Xizhou has declared war on the [Deep Sea].
Even the alliance of three continents.
The number of Transcendents cannot match Central Continent’s ’universal awakening’.
Once awakened, even ordinary warriors in the Central Continent army, even if only at the beginner level, can immediately become combat-capable extraordinary warriors with plenty of "exoskeleton devices" and strong-logically enhanced armaments.
[Deep Sea] has already sided with Central Continent.
If the three continents conduct awakening through [Deep Sea], then the war would be lost without even starting.
If [Deep Sea] is rejected, it will cause a rift with the deep water area.
The computing power assistance, battlefield dynamic calculations, and data support provided by Deep Sea... will all become knives for Central Continent to stab into the three-continent alliance!
"Speaking of which, what exactly is the content to be released at the Flowers’ meeting this time?"
Chen Mei turned his head to Song Ci, saying helplessly, "I proposed to accompany my father... but was refused."
This secret meeting in Da Du is of extremely high level.
"It’s not just you."
Song Ci laughed, "Even Xiao Jin and I don’t know the specific content of the lady’s meeting this time. However, for her to be so cautious, it must be something that can change the world’s structure."
"Besides."
Song Ci paused slightly.
"I’m luckier than you... The people over there at Flowers have already arrived, and next, I have to attend as an ’accompanying person’. Sorry, I have to go."
He took a step forward, arriving at the rooftop of the building, turning his back to the high sky outside the building. After finishing these words, he took a step back, and behind him unfolded a pair of pure, immaculate light wings.
