The Growth of a God

Chapter 82: City of Bones (45)

"From this perspective, the subordinate god named Herbis is quite lucky."

After learning that the return of the Mountain and Sea Realm did not cause too much waves in the universe, Li Hao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

It is Li Hao’s habit to be prepared for danger in times of peace. He does not like to be the “focus person” who is out of control.

Now that it has been confirmed that the storm surrounding the "return of the ancient gods" has subsided, Li Hao will naturally not pay too much attention to this matter.

Of course, necessary attention is still needed.

At this time, Li Hao noticed another function of [Civilization Game] - intelligent attention.

By inputting keywords and key events, the elves in the game can independently search and collect related or similar events, and then send him the relevant information as soon as possible.

"This really is divine power changing the world..."

After a simple complaint, Li Hao chose to quit the [Civilization Game].

Compared with the [Civilization Game], Li Hao is now more concerned about another program on the desktop - [Mountain and Sea Realm].

Just like playing a sandbox management simulation game, Li Hao kept adjusting his perspective and altitude, observing what was happening in the Mountain and Sea Realm at the moment.

Although this method is far inferior to Li Hao's omniscient and omnipotent "Creator" mode in his dream, it is indeed convenient.

If Li Hao can develop an intelligent plug-in such as "automatic hanging up" in the future.

Then it can automatically handle some trivial and tedious "chores" without even Li Hao's intervention.

Although the Shanhai Realm has not yet developed to that level, there are indeed some gods in the [Civilization Game] who complain that the prayers of their believers are too complicated.

From natural disasters to family wars, to quarrels with neighbors...

The more prestigious and powerful the gods are, the more prayers they receive every day, and the more things they need to deal with.

Therefore, in the [Civilization Game] there have always been gods selling artifacts such as destiny splitters, artificial intelligence, and even world self-regulating devices.

Of course, the authenticity of the information is not a matter of debate for now. In any case, Li Hao would definitely not feel comfortable using things of unknown origin.

"what?"

At this moment, Li Hao suddenly widened his eyes and looked at a flashing picture on the computer screen.

"That's... a city?"

As the camera zoomed in, Li Hao soon saw the city on the screen clearly.

It is not the remains of the dragon clan that once remained in the mountain and sea world, but a brand new "City of Bones" built entirely of bones.

A series of fine and delicate bones are intertwined to form a magnificent wonder on the east side of the central plain.

Although it is called a city, there are no houses or buildings in this city as Li Hao knows. Instead, there are "graves" that are several meters deep underground.

Above the "tomb", exquisite bone tablets reveal the identity of the owner here.

"Is this the city of the Skeleton People? They even have their own writing system?"

It was clear that last night, the Skeleton People were just a group of individuals who had begun to awaken their racial consciousness.

In just one night, these skeletons not only built their own unique city, but also created their own writing system?
"Could it be that thousands of years have passed?"

Frowning slightly, Li Hao thought of the time and space turbulence that seemed to have gradually subsided outside the Mountain and Sea Realm.

However, after careful observation and search, he unexpectedly discovered that the time span of the Mountain and Sea Realm was not as exaggerated as it was a few nights ago.

Because under Li Hao's conscious control, only five hundred years have passed since he left the Mountain and Sea Realm last night. "What happened in these five hundred years?"

A city is a collective building that only a race or a civilization will take the time and effort to build when there is a need for security.

In the thousands of years before, even with the guidance of the undead, the skeleton people, who had no sense of crisis, simply formed small settlements centered around the undead.

Li Hao originally thought that among the Skeleton People, he would never see the emergence of urbanization in his lifetime.

It can only be said that even if Li Hao has become the true creator, this world has never operated according to his will.

"With this number... all the Skeleton People in the entire Mountain and Sea Realm have settled in this city, right?"

Just a cursory glance at the number of those "graves".

Li Hao realized that the establishment of this city was definitely the collective achievement of the entire group of corpse people.

"It seems that I have to find a way to write a plug-in program specifically for counting the corpses..."

"No, it is used to count the number of various creatures in the Mountain and Sea Realm."

Thinking in this way, Li Hao felt that he was one step closer to becoming a qualified "Creator".

Li Hao made a rough estimate and found that even if there was only one corpse dweller living in these "tombs", the total population would be nearly 100,000.

Without knowing the current living conditions of the corpse people, he could only make such an optimistic estimate.

"So, what exactly made the usually solitary people choose to live in a group?"

With such doubts, Li Hao clicked on a bonnet in the "City of Bones" with his mouse.

The next second, the perspective of the computer screen switched to the "grave".

To Li Hao's surprise, these "tombs" were built in the underground world, rather than on the surface like humans.

But the decorations and furnishings inside maintain a certain degree of unity with humans.

Living room, bedroom, hallway, and stairs leading to the surface...

The "tomb" basically has all the architectural structures that a house should have.

The only difference is that this "house" is located underground and is basically supported by solid bones as beams and pillars.

"It's just a little dark inside, which is consistent with my first impression."

For the skeletons born from bones, they do not have biological structures in the usual sense.

Therefore, light, oxygen, and a series of things produced by eating, drinking, defecating and urinating, which are very important to humans, have no meaning at all in their eyes.

This is also an important reason why the skeleton people choose to build their "home" underground.

Apart from safety, the corpse people, who have no reliance on the outside world, basically do not consider other factors that may affect their decision-making.

"However, the Skeleton People were still influenced by the Undead, and developed some habits that should not have appeared in them."

Looking at those tables, chairs, benches and wooden beds that were obviously carefully carved, Li Hao really couldn't understand what the significance of these things were to the skeleton people.

Or to be more precise, do the skeletons left behind really have the concept of "enjoyment"?
