The Growth of a God

Chapter 145 Civilization Advancement (23)

Several years later, a long time had passed since the "Holy Grace Ceremony" that took place in the City of Torture.

It was passed on by word of mouth among the onlookers at the time.

Almost the entire mountain and sea world knows that there is an immortal beast that, with the blessing of the Creator, transformed into a compassionate deity.

It is said that in order to atone for the sins he committed during his time as an undead beast, the god planned to travel across the entire mountain and sea realm step by step.

He will treat every living being he meets equally...

He will provide help to every living being who is in trouble...

His whereabouts were as mysterious as those of an undead being, yet he never concealed his whereabouts.

As long as people are willing to look for it, they can always follow this man of God and witness the miracles that happen to Him.

As time went on, the rumors became increasingly outrageous.

For example, the divine being will fulfill all the wishes of his followers.

For example, if you find that divine being, you can make a wish come true.

As a result, searching for the whereabouts of that divine man gradually became a custom in the mountain and sea world.

I don't expect to really realize my wish, I just use this behavior to express a beautiful vision.

Later on, this chasing behavior even evolved into a festival where people chased the gods and statues of gods at fixed times and places.

"Do you think we can meet that 'holy man' if we keep going like this?"

Following the Sun of Sin above my head, I stroll along both sides of the flat road.

Aya was seen looking at those "self-driving" bone carts while talking with Ake behind her with great interest.

"Don't believe in those country legends. It's not like you haven't seen the so-called 'god man' before."

Walking quietly behind Aya, Ak's tone was as indifferent as ever.

But when looking at Aya's back, Ake seemed a little lonely and sad.

"Oh my! You really don't understand romance!"

Aya turned around and glared at Ake with dissatisfaction, then changed the subject.

"Did you see those bone carts?"

"I can't believe that something so delicate is made of bones."

"I heard that the City of Bones has bred specialized bone-growing beasts that can be used to generate parts to assemble these bone carts."

"Unfortunately, this bone cart that doesn't need to be pulled by bone beasts seems to need to be driven by sunstones. It's a bit too extravagant."

Listening to Aya's chatter calmly, Ake's face never showed much emotion.

Because it knew that its fate was sealed from the moment it promised Aya to leave the City of Torture.

"I want to go back, Aya."

Just when Aya thought that Ake would continue to remain silent, she suddenly heard a slightly choked voice coming from behind her.

The Skeleton People cannot shed tears, so Ak's sobbing sound is more like the sound of bones rubbing against each other.

"..."

Slowly stopped moving forward.

Aya didn't look back, and her voice was still so gentle.

"Ake, didn't we agree that you would accompany me for the last part of the journey?"

However, this tenderness, when heard by Ake, was more piercing than any sharp blade.

"Believe me, I will definitely be able to find another way to extend your life." "As long as you hold on for a while longer, I will definitely be able to obtain the elixir of immortality from the 'Immortal Goddess'."

Faced with Ak's almost pleading words, Aya just shook her head calmly.

"Ake, stop fooling yourself."

"The elixir of immortality is a medicine for those who live in flesh and blood. It has no meaning at all for us, the skeleton people."

After a slight pause, Aya continued.

"Besides, I'm tired."

"I'm just an ordinary skeleton. I can't adapt to new skeletons as quickly as you can."

"All these years of constantly replacing skeletons and adapting to new bodies has reached my limit."

Aya never told these things to Ake, nor did she mention to it the pain she had endured.

So when Ake heard Aya say this.

Only then did it realize how much torture it had brought to the other party by its stubbornness over the years.

"Please accompany me on this last journey!"

"I have been in the City of Torture for so many years. Now I just want to see how far this new world has developed."

Turning around and taking Ake's hand, Aya's skull face broke into a smile again.

This time, Ake did not refuse the other party's hand holding.

In the next few months, Ake took Aya to visit the settlements of the skeleton people and even the hundreds of tribes in the mountains and seas.

Clean and spacious avenues lead in all directions, and towering cities are scattered all over the land...

The mountain and sea world today is completely different from the one Aya has in mind in every aspect.

The area of ​​forests has not decreased.

Because there are still many compatriots of hundreds of races living in the mountains and forests, as well as epic creatures that are powerful enough to rival the gods.

But outside the mountains and forests, the remains of the ancient ruins left behind by the dragon clan were cleared one by one, and avenues full of the style of the skeleton people spread to every corner of the earth.

On those avenues, countless members of hundreds of races come and go, giving people a feeling of prosperity.

Every time she arrives at a city of corpses, Aya is surprised to find that the scene here is completely different.

Among the types of cities built by the Skeleton People, there are cities like the City of Bones that promote the coexistence and common prosperity of all races, and there are also cities that retain the original habits and appearance of the Skeleton People.

Especially after the burrowing worms appeared in the Mountain and Sea Realm, the Skeleton People, relying on their ability to manipulate their bones at will, imitated many devices that originally belonged to the burrowing worms.

However, the cave dwellers use minerals extracted from rocks to create these devices.

The Skeleton People use bone-creating beasts to generate bones of different shapes and textures, and then create bone machines that are full of Skeleton People style.

In fact, after the initial strong stage, the Skeleton People used these exquisite bone tools to trade with other members of the Hundred Tribes.

Bone clocks, bone water wheels, bone wheels, bone bicycles, bone textile machines...

Overnight, the skeleton people seemed to have entered the early stages of industrial civilization.

The only difference is that the skeleton people do not have to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation, and can give full play to their imagination and curiosity to explore the new things from the cave-dwelling insect civilization.

Aya could feel that the Skeleton People were developing a new talent, a special racial talent that was different from fighting and killing.

Calm, patient, and skillful...

On Earth, humans tend to refer to people with such talents as inventors, engineers, or technicians.
