……

Everything happened just as Li Hao expected.

The one-eyed evil god is imprisoned by storm chains, but he still retains the ability to revive the skeleton people.

But the skeletons it resurrected were no longer driven by hatred because of the storm chains.

Although judging from the current situation, this is equivalent to greatly weakening the number of skeletons that can be resurrected by the One-Eyed God, in exchange for the birth of those skeletons that are not violent.

However, this was not a problem at all in Li Hao's opinion.

After all, compared to the number of skeleton people, Li Hao cares more about the significance of the one-eyed god's transformation into the "Sun of Sin".

From this moment on, the Skeleton People will officially become part of this world.

As long as the bloody day of sin hangs high in the sky, the Skeleton People will continue to appear in this world and become the largest group in this world.

[The only problem now is how to make these new individuals evolve into a truly intelligent race. ]

While he was happy that his world had become more prosperous, Li Hao did not forget the solemn warnings given by the Faceless Man and the Snake.

The Skeleton People are different from those living races.

They usually exist as a low-level cannon fodder race for the dark and death gods.

——Lack of wisdom and no potential for advancement.

These are the marks attached to the Skeleton People, and are an objective fact.

Just seeing the single-digit attributes of those skeleton people is enough to make most gods give up the idea of ​​cultivating this useless race.

Among all the heavens and the worlds, it is probably only Li Hao, an outlier who does not care much about attribute values, who would choose to make the Skeleton People become the followers of his main world.

Of course, if you think about it carefully, this world is quite suitable for the Skeleton People in a sense.

First of all, this world is not a newborn world.

As the former world of mountains and seas, this world has experienced more than one world-destroying disaster.

It was Li Hao who paid the price of countless lives to barely pull the world back from the brink of destruction.

Therefore, countless lives are buried underground in this world.

Apart from the corpses that are reintegrated into the natural cycle, there are always some special corpses similar to "immortal bones" that are preserved.

Under the light of the Sun of Sin, even if less than one percent of these corpses could be revived successfully, that would still be a huge number.

Secondly, there is the issue of racial potential.

The Skeleton People are labeled as lacking in intelligence and potential because they only have a skeleton.

It is indeed difficult for the Skeleton People, who only have a skeleton, to make further breakthroughs in their personal attributes. After all, creatures with flesh and blood can exercise their muscles, and life made up of elements can learn spells...

Only the people of skeletons, only the gods of darkness and death, will specifically study and research the ability to strengthen bones.

Also for this reason, it is difficult for the Skeleton People to make a breakthrough in wisdom.

If you say that a race that is left with only skeletons still has brains, then you are overestimating them!
However, these defects are no longer defects for Li Hao.

The skeletons that have survived several apocalypses are more or less much stronger than ordinary skeletons.

The skeleton people who are revived on this basis, no matter how weak they are, are definitely stronger than ordinary skeleton people.

Although this cannot completely make up for the disadvantages of the Skeleton People, it can at least prevent them from falling too far behind at the starting line.

As for the wisdom that most gods value?
With the free labor of the undead, this is not a problem either.

Things that ordinary races can learn in ten years, Li Hao can let the undead teach the skeleton people for a hundred years.

If you still can’t learn it in a hundred years, let the undead continue to teach for another hundred years.

Anyway, the undead have the patience and time, and the Skeleton People will definitely not refuse.

This also involves the point that Li Hao is most optimistic about the Skeleton People - the issue of lifespan.

In other worlds, the Skeleton People are considered a short-lived race simply because of their identity issues.

How long can you expect a race composed entirely of cannon fodder to survive?
In fact, without any interference from external factors, ordinary skeleton people can live until their bones are completely decayed.

This period is usually around ten to fifteen years, and it can live longer if it is carefully maintained.

If it were those special skeletons remaining in the mountain and sea world, this time would be even longer.

It is so long that even Li Hao, the creator, cannot determine the exact time of its decay.

Li Hao doesn't think he is a loyal person, but he is not a heartless person either.

Now that you have decided to invest your energy in this world.

Then Li Hao would absolutely not be able to accept that when he fell asleep the next day, some of the races and individuals he had favored last night had naturally died out with the passage of time.

Longevity, even immortality...

This is the basis for Li Hao to decide whether a race is qualified to become his dependents.

This selection criteria, which was completely different from that of other gods, later became one of Li Hao's symbols.

For the vast majority of gods, the disadvantages of the immortal species outweigh the advantages.

Because life expectancy is too long, it is easy for class solidification to occur...

Because life span is too long, it is easy to lose the reverence for the gods...

Because of their long lifespan, they are prone to harboring the ambition to become gods themselves...

Because the lifespan is too long, it is easy for the entire civilization to completely lose its enterprising spirit...

In short, a "qualified" god can say too many bad things about the immortal species.

On the other hand, for the short-lived species, the gods don’t even need to give too many benefits and blessings. The word “death” is enough to make them kneel down at the feet of the gods from the bottom of their hearts.

However, no matter how many disadvantages the immortal species has, Li Hao only cares about one thing - he does not want to become that kind of "qualified" god.

In Li Hao's opinion, he just inherited Zhulong's power by accident, which does not mean that he must become Zhulong.

Maybe... being a "God" with humanity is also a good choice?
