The Growth of a God

Chapter 167: Tongtian Jianmu (13)

As the energy of the [Cup of Hygieia] poured into the Mountain and Sea Realm.

The first to notice this change were naturally the apostles under Li Hao.

Ji Meng, Yao Xin and Jiao Ling all looked up at the sky at the same time, as if they saw the supreme being steering the course of the entire world.

Soon after, the ones who noticed the changes in heaven and earth were the once noble god, the transformed snake, and the demigod, Zuo Zuo.

Especially the latter, when feeling the energy pouring into the mountain and sea world from outside the world.

Yuyu, who had a human body and a snake tail, instinctively opened his eyes wide, his face full of surprise.

"Jianmu? The sky-reaching Jianmu!?"

During the heyday of the Mountain and Sea Realm, Zhulong also used some kind of magical artifact to plunder resources from the outside world to provide for himself.

Unfortunately, with the coming of a catastrophe among the gods, Jianmu, which was able to communicate between heaven and earth, was forcibly taken away by other gods, and the Mountain and Sea Realm began to decline.

"No, this is not Jianmu."

Shaking his head decisively, Yali quickly figured out the difference.

If Jianmu is a bridge connecting other worlds, then the Cup of Hygieia is a fully powered water pump.

The two have completely different ways of plundering the world, and the results they bring are also very different.

In the early stage of the catastrophe of the gods, Zhulong gained an absolute advantage in the war with [Jianmu].

As a result, the enemy gods broke the world barrier regardless of everything and almost destroyed both worlds.

Afterwards, a god named "Nuwa" used the "Heaven-Repairing Stone" that could restrain "Jianmu" to forcibly take away the supreme treasure.

Of course, Zhulong didn't make things much easier for those gods.

In particular, Nuwa, who was almost knocked down to the life dimension by Zhulong, also left her own trace in the mountain and sea world - Nuwa's Intestines.

——Classic of Mountains and Seas·Great Wilderness West Classic.

——There are ten gods, named: Nuwa’s Intestines, who turned into gods, lived in the Liguang Plain, and lived across the road.

Simply translated, it means that there used to be ten gods in the mountain and sea world, named "Nuwa's Intestines" because they were transformed from Nuwa's intestines.

They live in a field called "Li Guang" and like to rob passers-by on the road.

【…】

I never expected that the Chinese mythology system that I am so familiar with would collide in this way.

Li Hao was trying to capture the fleeting thoughts in Yali's mind.

At the same time, I was curious whether the ten gods transformed from Nuwa's intestines eventually left the Mountain and Sea Realm?

......................................................................................................

In the blink of an eye, several decades passed.

Today, the "City of Bones" has become a prosperous city where hundreds of races come together to celebrate the festival.

However, for Asu, who has lived here for a long time, the only word to describe this boring prosperity is "noisy".

In fact, Asu has never understood why those "people" outside would rush around for Sun Coins that they cannot eat or wear.

Obviously, for the vast majority of the corpse people, that is not a necessary thing.

“I just can’t understand it…”

The uncle who was muttering this raised his head and looked at the bone-born beast not far away.

It was a bone-dwelling beast named "Heng".

It is said that through the cultivation of bone ringing, real metal bones can be grown.

It's not the kind of carbon-based bone structure that has strength close to that of silicon-based bone due to the individual strength of the God-ascending beings, but it's a skeleton truly made of silicon-based metal.

According to the think tank members who specialize in studying bone-born beasts, the reason why the bones of bone-born beasts can grow naturally when inserted into the ground is because they can automatically absorb the phosphorus and potassium components in the soil.

So is it possible for the bones of bony animals to absorb components other than phosphorus and potassium during the growth stage to enhance their hardness after growth?

After a series of experiments, references and comparisons, this plan was finally considered feasible.

The reason why Asu sneaked here now was to obtain a metal skeleton for research.

"If I were you, I would stay in school and attend classes instead of sneaking to the grazing area to steal things."

Silently, Luofu, who looked like a little girl, appeared out of nowhere behind Asu, giving him a big fright.

After seeing clearly that it was Luofu who scared him, Asu's skull face breathed a sigh of relief in a very human way.

"It's you! I thought Gu Ming was back."

"Shh! Still the same old rules, just pretend you haven't seen me."

"I'll bring you the new 'speed engine' design when I'm free tomorrow."

Asu, who was used to it, skillfully quoted his price, but in return he got a cold eye from Luofu.

"You're trying to trick me again?"

"I helped to perfect the engine design you gave me last time."

"Moreover, most of them refer to the principles and structures of cave-dwelling insect civilization. There is nothing new about them at all."

Having said this, Luofu's voice paused slightly.

"By the way, have you figured out the 'gunpowder' I mentioned to you last time?"

Now it was Asu's turn to shake his skull and asked in confusion.

"Why are you so obsessed with that so-called 'gunpowder'?"

"If you really want an explosive effect, can't you just use the mucus of the exploding bugs?"

"Besides, I am a corpse dweller. I don't have any excrement. How can I extract the 'nitric acid' in your mouth?"

Asu had obviously been full of complaints about Luofu's inexplicable obsession.

"Besides, the 'gunpowder' you mentioned seems to be a technology derived from the burrowing insect civilization, right?"

Hearing this, Luofu just snorted with disdain.

"Humph, you think it's too simple!"

"If I hadn't been so obsessed with researching gunpowder, do you think the metal skeleton project would have yielded results so quickly?"

What Luofu said here is true. Although she did not develop real gunpowder, she did develop a by-product of gunpowder - fertilizer.

This substance, which originally only works on plant growth, shows amazing adaptability in the process of metal bone growth.

This unexpected situation once made Luofu doubt whether the "periodic table of elements" from the Father God was also applicable in this world.

"Forget it. It's not in the same research field. There's no point in telling you."

"But you did remind me of one thing. Didn't the burrowing worms give you a small smelting machine?"

"If you are short of metal, can't you just use a smelter to smelt it?"

Facing Luofu's questioning, Asu, who had already made a plan, spoke calmly.

"I want active metals, the kind that can multiply and heal themselves."

"Although the burrowing worms also have memory metals, they are still far inferior to the active metals we have."
