Chapter 72: The Holy Mountain of Bones, the Lost God

The giant skeleton carried Ye Ning and [Lady White Bone] and strode towards the mountain.

Its steps were not fast, but each step was quite far, so its speed was not slow.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

Ye Ning noticed that as it moved forward, some of the surrounding undead fell to their knees.

It's like going on a pilgrimage.

So what exactly is the Skeleton Saint?
Ye Ning still didn't quite understand, but that didn't stop him from trying hard to guess and think.

After all, this is directly related to the situation he will face later.

The mountain in front of them was about a thousand meters high. The giant skeleton had amazing leg strength and brought them to the top of the mountain in less than ten minutes.

There is a huge platform on the top of the mountain, and it is obvious that it has been artificially processed.

After reaching the top of the mountain, the giant skeleton placed Ye Ning and [White Bone Lady] on the platform, and the cage formed by the dark blue light on them automatically disappeared.

Ye Ning saw what seemed to be a statue in the middle of the platform. It was a skeleton wearing armor and holding a sword.

Can undead skeletons do such delicate work now?

"Saintess...come forward...offer sacrifice...the Lord...is...waiting!"

After the giant skeleton put them down, it remained kneeling on one knee. When it saw Ye Ning standing there motionless, it reminded them from behind.

After taking a look at the giant skeleton, Ye Ning walked forward with [Lady White Bone].

And just as he moved forward, the ground at the edge of the platform began to roll.

Then one after another undead creatures crawled out from the ground.

Unlike the undead at the foot of the mountain, the aura of these undead was much stronger, and each of them was wearing armor and had weapons in their hands.

Only the skulls under the helmets reveal their identity as undead.

Darth Vader? Or Skeleton General?

After seeing them crawl out and kneel down directly in front of the statue in the middle of the platform, Ye Ning put away his fear and continued to move forward.

Soon, he arrived in front of the statue.

It was at this moment that a faint blue light suddenly appeared on the statue, and then a faint blue gas mass slowly formed in front of the statue, that is, in front of Ye Ning.

After a while, a terrifying face emerged from the air mass!
This. . .

For some reason, although there was an atmosphere of horror, Ye Ning's heart was still calm.

It may be that the air mass in front of us looks like it has a strong sense of déjà vu.

By the way... Why does this look so much like a realistic Gastly (note: a classic ghost-type Pokémon)?

It circled around Lady White Bone several times, and as if it had confirmed something, it stopped directly in front of Lady White Bone.

"Finally!!! I've finally waited for you! Your Highness the Saint! May the glory of the Skeleton God shine again!" A gloomy and somewhat old voice came from the mouth of the "Gars" in front of him.

There seems to be a hint of excitement in it!
Then it came to Ye Ning again and said: "You are the creator of the Saint of my clan, and also the guide. Even if you are a humble and cunning human, you are also qualified to share the glory of the God of my clan."

Ye Ning: ???
Who will share the glory of your God!

I don't want to turn into a skeleton, but after hearing what "Garsis" said, Ye Ning's heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally felt a little relieved.

The worst that can happen is that you become a skeleton, which is better than being completely dead.

Because of this, he became a little bolder.

"Are you the priest that the big skeleton mentioned?"

The big Gastly nodded and said, "Yes, I am the only priest of the Skeleton God at present."

"Well, can you tell me what's going on? I still don't quite understand why my card became your saint? Since you know that I am her creator, you should understand the significance of cards to us humans."

After hearing Ye Ning's words, Gastly did not answer immediately, but floated to the other side of the statue.

Then two smaller balls of blue light appeared in front of it, and then formed a pair of claw-like things.

"Pfft~"

I really couldn't hold it in any longer this time.

No, you can still evolve, right, Haunter!
(The resolution seems a bit low, just make do with it...)
Hearing Ye Ning's laughter, "Garritz", no, it should be said that "Haunter" glanced at him and ignored him, but suddenly closed its two paws, and in an instant a stick of incense appeared in its hand, and then a faint blue light flashed, and the incense was lit.

"Haunter" held the incense and bowed twice to the statue, then inserted the incense in front of the statue.

Afterwards, the two claws in front of it disappeared and it degenerated into Gastly again.

“Human, when we talk about the Skeleton Saint, we have to start from thousands of years ago. At that time, we were still living in a place called the Shadow Realm. At that time, our God was still there. With His protection, we were an extremely powerful race even in the Shadow Realm. But one day, a huge star fell from the void. The star carried an enormous force and shattered the entire Shadow Realm almost instantly.

Even with the protection of our God, our people lost nearly 90% of their members in that instant. Later, as the Shadow Realm was shattered, the negative energy of the entire world was dissipating. Our God looked at our situation and knew that if we continued like this, we would eventually be completely extinct. So, at the cost of His own life, He completely sealed our holy mountain and sent it into the void, leaving behind only a prophecy.

The end of death is rebirth. When the bones of life are born, the Skeleton Saint will lead the Skeleton Clan back to the top of the undead!"

Having said this, it paused for a moment, then looked at the White Bone Lady with a kind of fanaticism: "The moment you stepped into this small world, I sensed the breath of the Saint, the skeleton exuding the breath of life! It is a dead soul and a living soul! This cannot be wrong, she is the Skeleton Saint with bones of life in my God's prophecy!"

Feeling Gastly's enthusiasm, Ye Ning didn't know what to say for a moment.

Bones of life?

Does his [White Bone Lady] have such a thing?
However, there is one thing Ye Ning agrees with, that is, his [White Bone Lady] can indeed be regarded as both a dead spirit and a living spirit.

Because she is a fairy!

In the past life, even dead things could become spirits, and after absorbing the essence of heaven and earth, they would naturally be considered living beings.

But how could a "god" who lived thousands of years ago predict what would happen to him?
This is too terrifying. What kind of existence would that be?
He looked at the excited Gastly.

Now there is a question, what is its purpose?
Or in other words, what is His purpose, that is, the purpose of God?
