As luck would have it, Chi Miao was standing on a skull, which was extremely translucent, as if it were carved from crystal.

As Chi Miao stepped on the skull, the skull looked at Chi Miao with an incredulous expression.

Gou Shi System: "The bones can move like hell!!!"

Chi Miao fell silent, finding it unbelievable even to herself. She frowned as she looked at the skull before her: "You... hello?"

Gou Shi System: "Sister, why are you greeting bones? Have you gone mad?!"

However, what surprised the Gou Shi system the most was that the skull in front of it actually spoke in a voice that was neither male nor female: "Hello, could you please apologize to me? I think it's not very polite of you to step on my head."

Chi Miao: "I'm sorry, I wasn't paying attention."

"The bones are talking?!"

If the Gou Shi system had a physical body, it would have collapsed right now, exhaling a breath of immortal energy.

What the hell is this thing?!

Just as he was complaining, the skull spoke again: "I accept your apology, but that voice inside you is so noisy... He's very rude."

"Calling him 'bone' repeatedly is incredibly ill-mannered. Don't ever say he's my child again."

Chi Miao: "???!"

Gou Shi System: "??!!"

"Child? Me??"

The skull hummed in agreement: "You were created by us, so of course you're our child."

Gou Shi and Chi Miao were both dumbfounded.

"you?"

Looking up, I was startled to see a vast expanse of starlight. It turned out that all those densely packed points of light were actually crystal bones!

It may not be a skull, but it will definitely be dazzling and beautiful!

"Hiss—" Chi Miao gasped, "So many immortals buried? Do their bones become so beautiful after becoming immortals?"

I really want to try it.

Gou Shi System: "Stop with your terrifying thoughts! Is that the point right now?!"

Chi Miao said earnestly, "But crystal-like bones are really cool."

These words were extremely helpful to the Crystal Bones, who all nodded in agreement.

"The little guy has good taste."

Chi Miao touched his head and smiled, which made people feel quite embarrassed.

The historical system is numb.

Chi Miao squatted down to examine the skulls and asked, "You say the system in my brain is your child, what does that mean?"

The leading skull was taken aback. "I don't know, I just blurted it out unconsciously. As for whether it's true or not... I guess so?"

Gou Shi System: "...Is it really that casual?"

The skull chuckled, "Well, there's nothing I can do about it. After all, I've been dead for so long that even my bones are incomplete. Of course, memories will slowly wear away with time. I don't even remember my own name anymore; I've been dead for too long."

The skull spoke of all this with great magnanimity, laughing so hard it couldn't stop. Well... it has no teeth or bones, so naturally it couldn't stop laughing.

Hell is laughing at us.

Gou Shi System: "You don't remember and yet you randomly claim children as your own, you have to apologize to me."

Skull: "I don't want you, you are my child."

Chi Miao pursed her lips, examining the large expanse of crystal bones. Suddenly, a guess formed in her mind, and she quickly interrupted Gou Shi System's next sentence.

"Don't say anything yet, maybe they really are your parents."

Gou Shi System: "???"

Chi Miao looked at the crystal skull: "How long have you been here?"

The crystal skull replied, "Not long ago, maybe a thousand years? I don't quite remember."

Chi Miao: "Did Jiang Yue bring you here?"

The crystal skeletons suddenly fell silent for a moment.

"Who is Jiang Yue?"

Chi Miao pointed to herself: "I'm a beautiful woman who looks exactly like me. Take a good look, won't you?"

The Gou Shi system was terrified by Chi Miao's shamelessness.

This guy calls himself beautiful? He's not even humble! Where did all the good qualities you learned during your years on Earth go?!

But after Chi Miao's reminder, the Crystal Bones actually started to look at Chi Miao's face seriously.

"You know what, your face really does look familiar. You're definitely a beauty."

"Yes! It seems to be what you said, a woman who looks exactly like you brought us here and said... uh, what did she say again?"

These crystal bones remembered nothing. They didn't remember their own names, what they were supposed to do here, or why they were here in the first place.

Without a physical body, only a tiny remnant of the soul remained attached to the bones, so of course it remembered nothing.

But Jiang Yue brought her here, there must be a reason for Jiang Yue.

Moreover, Jiang Yue said...

This is the greatest legacy left to her, a hint that the path she cultivated was the path of time and space.

There are many bones here, and although they have no memory, they are able to condense such terrifying resentment and death energy.

Chi Miao: "Did you... look just like me when you were alive?"

Gou Shi System: "??!"

"No, you mean... these bones are all your reincarnations?!"

Chi Miao nodded, a strange bittersweet feeling welling up in her eyes: "Yes, the three thousand life lamps are still burning, which means that the souls of the reincarnated beings are still alive. If this is how they exist... I think I can understand it now."

Chi Miao's words, however, were a wake-up call for these people.

Their hazy memories gradually became clearer.

"That's right... We do look exactly like you. That woman named Jiang Yue appeared on the day we fell and brought our bones here."

"Huh, why is she doing that? That's strange, I can't remember, it hurts...it hurts!"

"Waaaaah..."

Countless bones cried out at this moment, a sound that was utterly tragic and sorrowful.

Chi Miao's chest trembled at this moment, she pursed her lips and bit her teeth, tears welling up in her eyes.

Especially when the crystal skull looked at her.

The crystal skull asked, "Do you...recognize me? What's my name?"

Chi Miao's tears fell uncontrollably.

It turns out that the bones here were brought here by Jiang Yue after she returned to the past countless times through the Path of Time and Space, bringing back the reincarnated bodies of the past who had perished!

The Burial Ground for Immortals is where the countless reincarnations of the "immortal" are buried!

Chi Miao took a deep breath: "I...don't know your names, but you are all great."

The crystal skeletons were disappointed.

"All right."

A deathly silence descended upon the Hidden Immortal Cemetery. An aura of sorrow grew ever stronger from the stillness, extending infinitely. Obsession seemed to transform into countless tentacles, quietly creeping up Chi Miao's body, binding him, and making him feel suffocated.

Chi Miao asked:

"What are your wishes? I can help you if I can."

The skeletons' voices rose noticeably: "Really?"

Chi Miao nodded: "Really."

"Then... could you help us think of a name?"

"I want to know why I died."

I want to know if anyone remembers me.

"I want to know why I came here."

"I want to know...who am I?"
