The Growth of a God

Chapter 97: The Remains of the Wise King (45)

A few months later, at the highest peak of the mountain and sea world, the cold top of the world.

Ake, wearing a tattered black robe that was still as sharp as a drawn blade, stood in the snow.

In front of Ake, a multi-person combat team composed of individuals of different races surrounded it, and the skeleton people leading it denounced its crimes.

"Ake! Hand over the leader's remains immediately, or don't blame us for being rude!"

When the leading skeleton shouted so loudly, the huge crow in the sky immediately responded with a sharp cry.

Unfortunately, facing the threat from this combat team, Ak just held his skeleton tightly on his back with an unchanged expression, and then suddenly opened his six arms to perform their respective functions.

"Leave here! You are no match for me."

As the first native deity in the Mountain and Sea Realm and the strongest fighting force of the Skeleton People, Ake was telling the truth.

Even if it was to protect Gu Sheng's remains, even if it did not kill its own companions, it still possessed an overwhelming advantage in combat power.

"Go! We can't let it deploy its combat form!"

Seeing this, the leading member of the Corpse Clan decisively issued a battle order.

The next second, a huge bone chain flew towards Ake not far away.

At the same time, the crow in the sky also swooped down, its sharp claws enough to pierce through any stone.

In order to coordinate the attacks from these two directions, the ice surface under Ake's feet suddenly bulged up, and a translucent banshee emerged from it.

"Skeleton people, crows, water snakes..."

Although he could identify the three attackers at a glance, Ak did not show the slightest panic.

It didn't even pay attention to the three attackers, but turned around decisively and kicked the evil wind blowing towards it.

"I never expected that even Fei Lian, who always likes to work alone, would start to cooperate."

There was obvious sarcasm in his tone, and Ake wanted to anger Fei Lian, who was the most eccentric.

However, what it didn't expect was that the Fei Lian in front of it was obviously an alien.

Because not only was the other party not angered by it, but instead took advantage of the situation to create a bigger snowstorm.

At this point, a new chase officially began.

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

In the blink of an eye, more than half a month had passed.

Today, Ake is very close to the summit.

Even though it possessed a "demigod body", it still felt a deadly cold after reaching this height.

The black robe on Ak had long since disappeared in the wind following the previous rounds of battles.

But Ake never put down the remains on his back, as if the remains were a part of his body.

One step at a time, one footprint at a time, one snow mark along the way...

In such deadly cold, it was impossible for the pursuers responsible for hunting down Ake to get close to here, so it naturally did not need to bother to clean up the traces it had left behind.

"As a newcomer who has just embarked on the path to becoming a god, your performance is truly astonishing."

Just as the fuzzy Ak instinctively assumed a fighting stance, the coldness on his body suddenly dissipated.

It was as if we had suddenly arrived in spring from the extreme cold.

Bathed in the warm sun, Ak suddenly looked up and felt his spirit become more excited than ever before.

"Ancient snake?"

Looking around, he saw a huge white snake appear in front of Ake.

The moment he saw the white snake, Ake realized that he had finally found the purpose of his trip.

"I……"

Just as Ake opened his mouth to explain his purpose, a figure slowly walked out from behind the white snake.

She was a woman with perfect curves, a woman who was very beautiful even in the eyes of the Skeleton People. "I already know why you're here."

There was a hint of tenderness in the calm voice, and Yao Xin walked towards Ake with a smile.

"Thank you for your hard work, God Ascendant who has completed the Trial of Immortality."

Before he finished speaking, Ak suddenly felt the warmth in his body transforming into an inexplicable power, a power that gave him immortality.

Before Ak could react to what was happening to his body, the skeleton behind him suddenly shook.

"this?"

Among the three faces of Ak, the one who was always looking behind him suddenly showed a look of horror.

Because Gu Sheng's remains were slowly floating up, and then they were carried to Yao Xin by an invisible force.

"I've already told you that you shouldn't have let this guy out into the world."

Staring silently at the pale remains, Huashe spoke at this moment.

"It is a natural saint and a destined wise king. Do you regret it now?"

Without directly answering Huashe's question, Yao Xin showed a rare look of sadness.

"I thought that if I had found the 'method of immortality', I would be able to escape the separation of life and death."

"But what I didn't expect was that there seemed to be something more noble than death in this world, something that made Gu Sheng willing to sacrifice his life."

After a slight pause, Yao Xin suppressed the sadness on her face and spoke.

"You ask me if I regret it?"

"I'd love to say I'm sorry, but what's the point?"

"This is Gusheng's own choice. All I can do is respect it."

He gently tapped the center of the remains' eyebrows.

Yao Xin's third eye suddenly opened, revealing the vertical pupil that symbolized "divinity" and "death".

"Death is its choice, and giving it new life is my choice."

There was determination in her gentle voice, and at this moment Yao Xin activated her power as the "Lord of the Underworld".

Vortex… vortex… vortex…

A huge vortex visible to the naked eye appeared out of nowhere at the top of the world.

The materialized soul elements swarmed into the artificial skeleton.

"Welcome home, Gusheng!"

In the vortex of the soul storm, the shaky bone remains adapted and stood up little by little without any external help.

"Hiss... it's all in vain!"

The transformed snake was stunned at first after witnessing this scene, and then it spat out its tongue in disdain.

"Even if you can use the power of the God of Death to reshape its soul, it will no longer be the same creature it once was."

"It is just a new life that inherited the remains of the wise king, but is destined not to have any memories of the past."

Hearing this, Yao Xin smiled unexpectedly.

"That's enough!"

"It is destined that it will no longer have to bear that heavy responsibility in this life, and can truly live for itself once."

"At the end of the day, I am just a shallow and selfish person."

"As long as it's still with me, does it matter whether it was once alive or not?"
