If we're talking about brute force, they can't really kill someone who knows the information and then go to Twin Cities to investigate on their own.
The walls of the Twin Cities were thicker than those of their Fallen City, and most people had never been to the Twin Cities because they had never been outside the realm of divine favor. At most, they had only heard a little about other cities when other people came here.
Asking them to find a way to return to God or to know where to buy the body parts is a real challenge for them.
"We need to discuss this... If the gods can return, will we no longer need a high priest?"
"Yes, God has returned. Why would we need to buy members? Will God really take care of us?"
"Judging from the situation in other cities, it doesn't seem like God will return. We can only take care of ourselves first before we think about whether God will come back or not."
"But isn't there a precedent in Twin Cities? The greatest benefit is for God to return."
"What if this kid is lying to us?"
"If he's trying to lie to us, then the physical thing is also a lie. So let's not even think about it."
"That's true. It's definitely the best way to find out about God's return. If God comes back, we won't have to live such a hard life anymore."
As they discussed the matter, a new voice emerged from the crowd: "Should we inform the main city about this? The main city definitely wants the gods to return, and if we need their help, we won't have to bother."
"Yes, this should be told to the main city; it's a big deal."
As always, this group didn't want to get involved in trouble, but they still wanted to gain benefits, so they immediately thought of the main city.
Summoning back the gods sounds complicated. If we leave it to the main city, the success or failure won't affect the future. On the contrary, if they try to do it on their own outside and accidentally offend the people in the main city, it will be troublesome. The main city will then have an excuse not to send them limbs in the future.
Facing the crowd discussing the next steps, Zhong Mu remained calm. Contacting the main city was the development he wanted, and regardless of whether the main city accepted it or not, he had ways to force it to accept.
However, judging from the little information gleaned from the citizens of the City of Fallen Life, the main city will most likely accept this news gladly.
The fact that the main city has been unable to send out new limbs for so long must mean that something is wrong with the high priest. They are in a dilemma, and the method to summon back the god is like a godsend, something they desperately need.
"Hey, don't go! Stay here for a bit. We'll go and inform the people in the main city. If the god really does return, you'll be a great hero to our City of Fallen Fates."
"That's right, God has returned, and our miserable days in the City of Destiny are over. Who will have to put up with queuing up at the main city gate anymore?"
"Yes, and we don't have to worry about limbs suddenly falling off every day."
They worked hard, clinging to their illusions, their demands shifting from standing in front of the main city gate begging for limbs to asking that the method of God's summoning be passed into the main city.
Everyone stood excitedly in front of the main city, shouting towards it, demanding to meet someone from the main city, whether it was a divine messenger or a high priest. As long as the main city agreed, they would retire with their mission accomplished.
At first, only the people queuing at the gate caused trouble in front of the main city, but later, as the news spread, some other people joined in.
They heard that God had a way to return, and that if God returned, they could end their current lives. As a result, more people, unaware of the situation, joined in putting pressure on the main city.
Zhong Mu then pulled Mu He to watch the excitement under the shade of a tree.
"I think the main city chose to play dead before because they really couldn't move their limbs. If there's a solution now, they'll accept it immediately."
Mu He shook her head slightly, "Not necessarily. They also have one point of hesitation: the High Priest."
"High Priestess…" Zhong Mu thought about it and agreed. If God returned, the High Priestess would definitely return to God's side. No matter what kind of torment she had suffered during this time, once God returned, she would regain her former glory, and the High Priestess would certainly not let those people go.
This also makes it possible that they will continue to feign death.
But the crowd gathered in front of the main city gate didn't care about that.
Whether they are people outside the main city or people inside the main city, they all share the same characteristic: selfishness.
People inside the main city only think about themselves, and so do people outside the main city. Now it just depends on which side is putting more pressure on them.
Or rather... when those inside are caught in a dilemma, the high priest's cooperation in giving an opinion might be enough to lower the guard of those in the main city. We'll have to wait and see.
Regardless, Zhong Mu would add fuel to the fire, turning the situation toward the path of summoning a god. He and Mu He sat under the shade of a tree, whispering and discussing how to safely escape from the ever-boiling City of Destiny.
If we can't get into the main city, then we won't go in. The key is the High Priest and his men. If they have a way to get those two to come out on their own, why would he need to go in?
The main city remained silent, and the people were getting impatient. Some people heard that this person knew where they could buy limbs that wouldn't fall off, so they excitedly came towards Zhong Mu, disturbing the two people who were chatting quietly under the shade of a tree.
"Hey, I heard you know where I can buy limbs that won't fall off? I won't be able to wait for God's summons to return, so I need to get new limbs now, otherwise I won't be able to move. Tell me about it!" The other person didn't care that Zhong Mu was annoyed by being disturbed; he just wanted to know the information.
"I told you, I'll only tell you one thing: if you know how to summon the gods back, I won't tell you where I bought the limbs." Zhong Mu was also very displeased with a cold face. He was in the middle of a conversation with the doctor when he was interrupted. Moreover, buying the limbs was just a hook to lure the people of the City of Fallen Life to notice him and get them to follow him into a trap. He just made it up on the spot.
Seeing that Zhong Mu was ungrateful, the other party pulled out a saw from his pocket without hesitation. "You clearly know a lot, but you deliberately kept it from us. Are you intentionally trying to make things difficult for us? What's the difference between telling us one message and two messages to you?"
"There's no difference. I just don't want to say. Even if I know a hundred pieces of information, why should I tell you?" Zhong Mu stared straight at the other person, not losing any of his momentum.
The other person, annoyed by the provocation, retorted, "If you don't tell me, I'll take your limbs! I don't care where you bought them, you'll have to buy more later!"
Zhong Mu jumped up, pulled an axe from his spatial pocket, and held it in his hand expressionlessly. "Where do you want to chop? I'll chop it for you."
The man in front of him was taken aback. He had no idea where the man had hidden the axe. It was quite startling to see him suddenly pull it out.
However, the conflict between the two had already attracted the attention of those around them. He wasn't the only one eyeing the limbs. If he backed down here, no one else would ask about it anymore, and they would probably never know where to get the limbs to buy.
The man holding the saw shook his head, then turned his gaze to Mu He beside him.
The one with the axe looks intimidating, while the one next to him is obviously much easier to bully and chop up.
