Chapter 782: Chapter 771: The Iron Curtain Across the World Chapter 782: Chapter 771: The Iron Curtain Across the World “Mother? How did you get here?” Muria was a bit surprised to see the golden-haired girl standing on his shoulder.

“I’m here to help you. What, don’t want to see me?” The Golden Dragon Mother, who was about the size of an ordinary human, stood on Muria’s shoulder, playfully tapping her knuckles against the armor covering his neck, creating a metallic clattering noise.

“Of course not.” Muria, who was worried about their scarce strength on this side, hurriedly responded. The Golden Dragon Mother had travelled from countless light years away in the Erathia World to support him, he could only hope for such assistance. The initial difficulty level of this world was quite high, and it was terrible to be fighting alone, even though this world itself was being quite generous to him.

“Hmm, Little Muria, not bad. You have already reached the Legendary 4th Rank, and in a few years, you’ll be able to catch up with me and your father.”

“Haha, what’s my father’s current strength now? He should have also received a Medium-sized World, right!” Upon hearing the Golden Dragon Mother mention his father, Muria immediately showed great interest.

“Your father is about to break through to the Legendary Sixth Rank. Don’t assume he is slow at practice, unlike you, he didn’t get to eat all sorts of random advantages, his strength was all obtained by throwing punches one after another.

As for the Medium-sized World that the Titan Tribe gave him to nurture his Legion, your father got it decades ago. I even went over to help him for a while. I only returned to Erathia World recently, after he had firmly established himself. And then I heard of your news, that you had broken through and were assigned a Medium-sized World, so I followed over to take a look.

How is your assigned world coming along? You must have been here for a bit, tell me what you have found, I’ll help you analyze it. So how can we conquer it as quickly and effectively as possible?”

Upon hearing the Golden Dragon Mother’s question, Muria couldn’t help but display a slightly bitter smile. He then informed the Golden Dragon Mother about all the information he had gathered, including the analysis of the world’s powerful inhabitants and an assessment of their fighting capabilities.

“I say, Little Muria, you are incredibly unlucky. You ended up with a world that has already been unified. Did you end up offending a spirit of the World Dominion Palace?”

“I did not offend it.” Muria muttered, a frustrated expression on his face. The level of this world was very high, the amount of Legends here reaching the double digits, and because of the Titan’s previous rule, the organisms here are also very powerful. Their study of combat techniques is very close to those in the Erathian world, there hasn’t been a drop in quality. Simply put, every inhabitant of this Shadow Wasteland World can fight incredibly well.

“That’s incredibly unfortunate! The world that your father Ansol was assigned isn’t as troublesome as yours. His world is still divided and war-torn.

Its mightiest creatures rule independently. Today you hit me, tomorrow I hit you. After your father arrived, he immediately wiped out a so-called king and secured a foothold. Then he eradicated a few more creatures and earned their respect, his reputation spreading far and wide.

But your world, it’s a tightly knit web. If you strike now, the following day the Nine Phoenix Dynasty could immediately assemble a group of Legends to besiege you.”

The Golden Dragon Mother put forth her analysis with a serious expression. She didn’t expect her son to be able to directly take over this world with a mere token, it was absolutely impossible. If you do not possess the utmost strength yet aspire for the highest position, you are simply courting death!

“It’s precisely because of that that I’ve been holding back. Ultimately it’s because my strength isn’t enough. If I reached the Legendary Peak, no, just the Legend Seventh Rank, I could steamroll my way forward.”

“The Titan Tribe assigned you this kind of world, not only to allow you to use brute force to solve problems, but also to make you use your mind and learn cunning tactics. At times, victory is not just obtained through fists.”

Upon hearing Muria’s statement, the Golden Dragon Mother couldn’t help but rub her brow. As a born Mage Dragon, she doesn’t like the method of using brute strength to solve problems. Unfortunately, her husband loves doing this, and now her son is also leaning towards this kind of solution.

“For example, I currently have a method that could allow you to significantly expand without worrying about being attacked by the Nine Phoenix Dynasty. This method does not require you to possess formidable strength.”

“What method is there that I could use without a fear of the Nine Phoenix Dynasty?” Muria asked somewhat puzzled. Currently, the only solution he could think of was hiding in the wilderness of this world, forge silently an alliance with the inhabitants of the Shadow Wasteland, then steadily cultivating and gathering resources, and eventually wait for the right timing after advancing to High-level Legend to directly sweep across the world with the army he had developed.

“Little Muria, think carefully, among the things you have learned, what can allow you to defeat an opponent stronger than you, or even allow you to cross ranks to fight.”

Atris felt that she needs to guide Little Muria, and wants him to understand the pleasure of using wisdom to overcome a strong enemy, rather than thinking about relying on his fists and muscles all day. A fight against an enemy using strength has its limits, but wisdom is infinite.

“This…” Scratching his head, Muria knew that there were many factors allowing him to overcome ranking in battle. For instance, his bloodline allowed him to easily bypass ranks and even cross over some major ones without issue.

Moreover, the Titan battle techniques and Dragon Clan secret techniques he inherited could help him bypass ranks. However, Muria knew that the Golden Dragon Mother was not talking about these. All of them were combat-related and were no match against those who might hold the power of the Legendary Peak from the shadow wasteland dwellers.

“Formations! Little Muria, you have learned so much under my guidance when you were small, are you going to forget all about it just because you are growing up?” Seeing that Muria was still lost in thought, the Golden Dragon Mother couldn’t help but admonish him.

“Only formations can infuse mortals with the power to combat deities and create near-mythical miracles.”

“Formations can allow mortals to resist deities?” A look of surprise came over Muria’s face. It was almost impossible to describe how much disparity there was between mere mortals and the exalted deities. These two were not even in the same dimension and were completely incomparable. “Has such an event occurred? How could I not know about it?”

“Erm!” the Golden Dragon Mother coughed slightly, “It’s technically feasible, but in practice, nothing like that has ever happened.”

“Oh.” Hearing this, Muria couldn’t help but show a skeptical look on his face.

“Don’t underestimate this,” she went on, “Only formation studies propose the theoretically possible scenario in which a mortal can commit deity slaying. No other school of thought provides such an opportunity.”

“Mother, if a mortal can rally against, or even kill, a deity using a formation, how many resources would that formation require? Which mortal could possess such resources and knowledge?”

Muria pointed out the fallacy in this hypothesis. “If someone holds the knowledge and resources to set up such a formation capable of deity slaying, then they could not possibly be a mortal. Only a Legendary Mage qualifies for that.

If you let a Legendary Mage set up a deity-slaying formation, and let a mortal operate it, the real deity slayer would be the mage, not the mortal. Therefore, the hypothesis of a mortal slaying a deity is fundamentally impossible.”

“…” The Golden Dragon Mother silently stared at Muria. When the tension became unbearable, she heavily slapped the back of his neck, resulting in a resonant metallic hum. Visible shockwaves even appeared in the air. “Why must you be so stubborn? I’ve already said that it’s an untested hypothesis.”

“Ouch!” Muria touched the part of his neck that had been slapped, wincing from the pain. He attempted to change the subject to divert the Golden Dragon Mother’s attention. “Mother, how do you plan on using the formation to make the nine Phoenix Dynasty non-interfering in my expansion?”

“It’s simple. We just need to erect a wall in the world, dividing it into two.” Hearing Muria’s question, the Golden Dragon Mother pondered for a moment, then eagerly shared her idea – an idea that bordered on insanity.

“Mother, by saying this, do you mean you’re planning to use a formation to create an Iron Curtain stretching across the entire Shadow Wasteland World?” After a few moments of conversation with the Golden Dragon Mother, Muria was left stunned by her seemingly far-fetched ideas. He had never dreamed of doing anything like this.

“Of course!”

“But how large will the formation have to be to achieve this? Is it really possible to set up such a formation that covers half the world?”

“Little Muria, just because you can’t do it, doesn’t mean I can’t.” Atris slapped Muria’s neck again, making him wince. The strength behind the Golden Dragon Mother’s hand was formidable indeed.

“But, Mother, such a world-class formation would require a suitable terrain, right? Does the geography of the Shadow Wasteland World meet your requirements?”

“It absolutely does. This world has been ruled by two Titans. During their reign, they surely left many interesting things in this world. So setting up the formation won’t be a problem, but I need to explore further.

Oh, by the way, I’ve brought the fleet you need. You’d better use your credentials to give them a proper initiation.” After saying this, the Golden Dragon Mother readied herself to explore the geography of this world.

“An Iron Curtain spanning the world. What a crazy idea!” Watching the departing Golden Dragon Mother, admiration appeared on Muria’s face. He could never have dreamed of doing something like this. Such talent and creativity were truly worthy of the world-renowned Golden Dragon.
