The Growth of a God

Chapter 248 The Fourth Generation of Skeletons (13)

Tianyou is a citizen blessed by God. This is a fact recognized by all the citizens who know him.

Tianyou was born in the City of Bones. He is the first skeleton citizen who has truly achieved the perfect fusion of metal skeleton and flesh and blood.

You know, since the birth of the third generation of skeletons, the research on the fourth generation of skeletons has been put on the agenda.

Especially under the leadership of Asu, the fifth leader of the Skeleton People, the future development direction of the fourth generation of Skeleton People has become a key issue concerning the entire Skeleton People population.

Someone once suggested that since the third generation of skeletons have real metal skeletons, can "giganticization" be included in the future evolutionary direction?
Some people have also suggested continuing to strengthen the metal skeletons of the skeleton people so that they can possess immortal properties that are truly close to those of gods.

Until Tianyou completed his mission to visit the Realm of Light and returned to the Realm of Mountains and Seas.

Asu was surprised to find that Tianyou's metal skeleton and flesh-and-blood colonization suit seemed to have achieved some kind of subtle symbiosis?
For Tianyou, the flesh and blood colonization suit is no longer a simple tool, but has become an integral part of his existence.

Just like parasites that have a symbiotic relationship with their hosts.

There is no need for Tianyou to take active action, the flesh and blood colonization suit will instinctively provide it with protection and strengthening.

——It’s incredible that “tools” have evolved into instincts?
This was the conclusion Asu came to after conducting a comprehensive examination of Tianyou.

Although the flesh and blood colonization suit looks no different from the flesh and blood of normal creatures, it also exhibits the same activity as living creatures.

But in essence, it is still just a "tool" woven by the skeleton people using high-strength carbon-based fibers.

This is like all the modern equipment made by humans. No matter how sophisticated or wonderful they are, they are just handy tools.

However, the flesh-and-blood colonization suit, which was also created as a tool, actually broke this boundary.

What is even more incredible is that the flesh and blood colonies, which have amazing proliferation and growth capabilities, have not evolved into independent individuals like real living things.

Therefore, after repeated questioning and discussion by Asu and a group of think tank leaders, they finally figured out why the flesh-and-blood colonization suits evolved parasitic properties and the instinct to protect their masters.

The Skeleton People are a kind of undead spirits, beings that have been resurrected from the dead.

This is an unchanging fact no matter what stage the skeletons evolve to.

It is precisely because of this identity of the undead that Tianyou is constantly stimulated by the light of the world of light after he went to the world of light.

Even Tianyou, who has a metal skeleton, must maintain the state of flesh and blood for a long time to prevent the light of the world of light from killing him bit by bit.

However, how could it be so easy to maintain the state of the flesh and blood colonization suit for a long time?
It took Tianyou quite a long time to adapt to the feeling of consciously maintaining the flesh and blood colonization suit at all times and gradually no longer having to think about it deliberately.

In this process, Tianyou's [Art of Exorcising Spirits] also played a key role.

Because Tianyou actually tried to give the flesh and blood colonization equipment "spirituality" and achieved unexpected success.

In a sense, what happened to Tianyou was just a coincidence.

It is a coincidence that finally comes about when the right time, right place and right people are all in place.

So with Tianyou as a ready-made "sample", how to replicate the opponent's coincidence becomes an urgent problem that Asu and a group of think tank leaders need to solve.

Not seeking strength, not seeking intensity...

The "fourth generation artificial life" plan finally determined by the think tank is to make up for the defects of the skeleton people as much as possible and make them no longer afraid of any form of sunlight.

Under the preference of Li Hao, the Creator, time in the Mountain and Sea Realm has never been very valuable.

Especially for the skeleton people, the "fourth generation of artificial life" that they have worked hard to complete is the future of their race, and they are willing to spend time, energy, and resources on it. Therefore, after several twists and turns, the perfect fourth generation of skeleton people was finally born.

From Li Hao's perspective, the fourth generation of corpse people can no longer be considered true undead.

This is a completely new race that is between the living and the dead, born out of the Skeleton People.

Their skeletons are made of high-strength silicon-based metal…

Their flesh is a high-density carbon-based fiber...

They possess both the souls of the dead and the brains of the living...

They possess two completely different perceptions and ways of survival: the dead and the living...

For them, the flesh and blood colonies are no longer "tools" that require energy to maintain, but a "body" that can naturally protect their bones for a long time.

The fourth generation of skeletons can shed the protection of their flesh and blood costumes and wander in the dark world as undead.

But they can also face their "natural enemy" - the sunlight, and appear in the sanctuary of light as living beings.

The most important thing is that the flesh and blood that grows together with the bones inherits all the characteristics of the flesh and blood colonization suit, and can perfectly accept or even directly generate implants with different functions.

If there were no "Gods" in this world who had broken through the limits of individual creatures, the fourth generation of skeletons could be called the true "ultimate life."

Even so, the birth of the fourth generation of corpse people still caused a stir in the mountain and sea world.

After all, the current mountain and sea world is no longer dominated by the skeleton people.

With the unification of language, writing, customs, beliefs, systems, technology, and even ideas, the current Shanhai world is the Shanhai world of the "people of the mountains and seas".

Leaving aside the older generation, the new generation basically recognizes their identity as “people of the mountains and seas.”

When you need to travel to the Malz World, the Godfall World and the Light World for travel and trials.

Regardless of the race of the individuals, they all call themselves "people of the mountains and seas".

Only after returning to the Mountain and Sea Realm, in order to facilitate the distinction between different races, they will use their original race as a synonym.

This nickname is basically equivalent to China's regional divisions, and does not in itself affect their sense of identity as "people of the mountains and seas."

Under such circumstances, the series of technologies that emerged with the birth of the fourth generation of skeletons naturally spread to the entire "People of the Mountains and Seas" group.

Although the flesh and blood colonization suit has extremely high adaptability requirements for races other than the skeleton people.

But implants with different functions do not have this limitation.

These implants, which are themselves manufactured using biotechnology, have greatly enriched the daily lives of the “People of the Mountains and Seas”.

Some individuals who are determined to become gods have greatly reduced the difficulty of opening the [Long Steps to Godhood] with the help of various implants.

——Advanced technology and productivity will always serve the vast majority of the general public.

This is the motto that Asu, the chief of the Skeleton People and the leader of the Mountain and Sea People, engraved on the "Altar of the Creator" in the City of Bones.
