The Growth of a God

Chapter 84: Natural Born Leader (15)

It is easy to start a war, but very difficult to end it.

Even with the prestige of the undead, it is not an easy task to end this war full of hatred and fighting.

The deep blood feud between the Skeleton People and the hundreds of tribes in the mountains and seas has long been engraved in their bones.

Just when the undead were at their wits' end, the first true leader appeared among the skeleton people - Bone Born.

In fact, Gu Sheng has been active on the front lines since the beginning of the war.

From the first war between the skeleton people and the hundreds of tribes of mountains and seas, to the final "War of Jiuli", Gu Sheng's figure has never disappeared.

But it appears on the front line not to kill, but to save.

Whether they are the people of bones or the hundreds of tribes in the mountains and seas, they all know this "alien" who frequently rescues people from mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

The astonishment of the Skeleton People, the hatred of the hundreds of tribes in the mountains and seas...

Boneborn has been attacked more than once by the individuals it rescued.

As a result, at this moment, Gu Sheng once again demonstrated a strong fighting ability that was extremely inconsistent with its character and behavior.

——He is obviously not a prophet, but he possesses unfathomable powers.

——He is obviously not an immortal, but he can exorcise gods and ghosts like an immortal.

In a very short time, Gu Sheng's existence was known to both sides of the war.

In this regard, whether it is the People of Skeletons or the Hundreds of Tribes in the Mountains and Seas, they can only tacitly choose to ignore this "alien".

This situation continued until the later stages of the war, when a dozen tribes that had mastered the [bone replacement technology] decided to launch a general offensive and even began to attack the undead who had been helping the hundreds of tribes in the mountains and seas.

Gu Sheng, who had always held out hope for peace, finally stood up and used the prestige he had accumulated over the past few hundred years to call on everyone to stop the war.

In the group of skeletons who have no class concept, Gu Sheng's behavior can no longer be described as "abnormal".

Unfortunately, Gu Sheng's behavior received support from a considerable number of the people who were already tired of war.

The word "leader" appeared for the first time in the history of the People of Bones.

It's like a small snowball rolling in the snow.

The anti-war wave initiated by Gu Sheng eventually formed an avalanche that was enough to affect the entire war situation.

Except for those who experienced the battle personally, no one can explain how tragic the battle was.

Everyone only knows the final result - the "Battle of Jiuli" was a decisive battle with no winner or loser.

The Skeleton People and the Hundred Tribes of Mountains and Seas all suffered heavy losses, and both sides chose to lay low and recuperate.

As the skeleton door above him slowly opened.

Ak slowly crawled out of his home and basked in the morning sunlight.

Coming out of the door with Ake was a four-legged bony beast that was slightly larger than him.

For today's Skeleton People, bone beasts are no longer just domesticated livestock.

Eat together, live together, sleep together...

The status of bone-dwelling beasts among the people of bones is almost equivalent to that of family members.

After all, for the skeleton people who were born and raised by nature, "family" has always been a concept promoted to them by the undead.

They only know that it is a word that means being closer than being members of the tribe, but they have never personally experienced this feeling called "family affection".

The emergence of bone-born beasts is, in a sense, a manifestation of the progress of the Skeleton People towards civilization.

"You're late again, Ake!" Standing in an open space not far from Ake.

Another skeleton who had been waiting for a long time shook his bone arm, his words full of dissatisfaction.

"Well, the 'water drop clock' at home is broken, and I didn't notice the time."

Ak tightened the black robe around himself, leaving only his skull exposed, and answered softly.

"You've given the same excuse four times. Please give a more plausible reason next time."

If the Skeleton People had eyes, Ak would definitely be able to see the Skeleton People's eyes rolling up to the sky.

"Well, I'll pay attention."

I don’t know whether it means to pay attention to the time or to find a more reliable reason.

Ake's reaction immediately made the other party look quite angry, but unfortunately, all it could do was to be angry.

"Aya, didn't you go to study with the prophet today?"

Before Aya lost her temper, Ake, who was old-fashioned but not inflexible, changed the subject in time.

"The prophet went to the altar today. I heard it was a large meeting of the 'think tank'."

Sure enough, the anger on Aya's face quickly faded, replaced by distress.

The "think tank system" is a unique social system developed by the Skeleton People over the past few hundred years.

Given that the vast majority of the Skeleton People have no desires or demands.

Therefore, it is undoubtedly a huge challenge to establish a social system with clear division of labor and hierarchical relationships in such a group.

So, a group of the most experienced and wisest prophets among the people of the skeleton gathered together.

Then, through mutual consultation and compromise, a special social system for solving problems was born.

After hundreds of years of development, this social system, which was originally born out of the needs of war, has now taken shape.

Nowadays, it is no longer just prophets who can join the “think tank”.

Those with special talents and elites in various industries can choose to join the "Think Tank".

There is no doubt that this special social system can only exist among the skeleton people with few desires. It is a feature that the hundreds of tribes in the mountains and seas have not learned for hundreds of years.

"Another big meeting?"

He seemed a little surprised, but also seemed to be just trying to please Aya...

I saw Ak gently stroking the four-legged bony beast beside him, but his empty eye sockets shrouded in black robe seemed to be looking thousands of miles away.

"Are we discussing the city's road planning this time?"

"Or are you planning to plant a new 'bone forest'?"

The City of Bones is a natural wall that grows naturally from the bones of dead bone-living animals.

In order to carry out daily maintenance of these city walls, a considerable area inside the City of Bones is dedicated to housing dying bone beasts.

"That's not the case. We haven't fought a war with the Hundred Clans for decades."

"Although there have been several clashes between the two sides during this period, under the leadership of the leader, they have been able to control their tempers."

After a slight pause, Aya continued speaking.

"However, I always feel that this kind of peace will not last long."

"The leader plans to negotiate with the mermaids closest to us before a full-scale war breaks out between the two sides."
