"Back then, we were in the middle of it all. It was our wishful thinking that the world would change and capable people would emerge. How could there be a lack of heroes in every dynasty and generation? There would never be a lack of people of true virtue. Perhaps we could be free after a few years … In the end, all of us were gravely mistaken! "
"None of those who were fated to come to this realm could resist the temptation of becoming a true immortal. They all chose to dismantle our bodies for their own use … "
"We endured and waited bitterly for such a person to come, but we've waited for hundreds of thousands of years …"
The elder in the air looked at Yun Yang expectantly. "Young brother, you've listened to me from the beginning to the end of our past. This old man can also see that you're a true gentleman, a true hero. I wonder if you're willing to help us remnant souls a little more? "
As the elder's voice trailed off, countless silhouettes appeared in the air. Although they were blurry and only their heads could be seen, each of their gazes were fixated on Yun Yang eagerly.
It was obvious that they hoped that he would agree.
Yun Yang's expression did not change, but his heart was filled with shock.
He did not expect God's Bone to be involved in so many things.
It was too complicated …
The invincible legend of Tianxuan Continent, the God's Bone that could enable one to become a true immortal, originated from the celestial court, from the true immortals of this world … What was even more frightening was that the true immortals of this world, the true immortals who stood above all the living beings of the continent, were still insignificant existences that could be easily crushed by a higher level of strength. Yun Yang had blindly assumed that becoming a true immortal meant that one would be a force of the universe.
"So it's all of you. So many years after your deaths, you're still maintaining this world's stability with your essence, Qi, and spirit …" Yun Yang sighed softly and looked up at the sky, murmuring, "Heroes shouldn't suffer such grievances. Even if there's a reason for it, you've all sacrificed too much in these countless years."
He was silent for a moment before he said, "How should I help all of you? Speak your mind! "
The elder was so agitated that he could not speak properly. "You … you agree?"
This extreme excitement almost caused his soul body to completely dissipate. It took him a great deal of effort to stabilize himself.
Yun Yang nodded seriously and said with a smile, "I agree."
The old man's shadow was still trembling violently. After a long while, he finally said, "You … You're not afraid that we're just sweet words, that we have ulterior motives … or that we're using you to escape?"
Yun Yang's eyes were half-lidded as he said faintly, "I'm willing to do this even if it's only for the fact that the dignity of the strong should not be sullied. If you're using me, at most, I'll defeat you after you've recovered! "
The old man's expression turned strange as he looked at him. A moment later, he finally laughed, "Good ambition!"
His expression was somewhat startled as he muttered, "Is this … the heart?"
Just then, the elder lowered himself, his words barely audible. Yun Yang did not catch them clearly anyway.
However, the faces of the surrounding phantoms all revealed a look of sudden realization. All of them seemed to be lost in thought, and a sense of shame arose spontaneously.
"Young man, there are a few families in the Bound of Universe that have similar graveyard passages."
The elder said, "Once someone discovers this passage out of greed and takes away God's Bones, then … it can only be completely sealed after someone returns the bones."
"So, as long as young friend recovers all of God's Bones, you'll naturally know how to enter. Similarly, we can only rebuild the celestial court when we've collected all of God's Bones and return to being immortals. "
"I'll leave the rest to you, young friend."
Every single one of the phantoms looked ashamed. "What makes us feel the most ashamed is that … our remnant souls don't have anything that we can repay you with … Even if you really manage to return all of the godly bones to us, we still don't have anything to repay you with … We don't want to hide this from you, young friend."
"My original intention of returning God's Bones wasn't to ask for anything in return. I'm only doing it for the pride of a jade accomplished expert. Since there's a follow-up to this, I'll do my best to help. A hundred years … I'll collect all of your remains before this time limit. This is also for the welfare of Tianxuan Continent. Just this alone makes this trip worthwhile."
"Thank you!"
The phantoms in the sky bowed in unison.
Then, all the phantoms in the sky disappeared as if they had never existed.
The scene of the jade palace from before also instantly turned into nothingness.
Only a weak voice echoed in the air, "This place isn't suitable for mortals to linger for long. Young friend, please leave quickly, lest you get hurt by the Yin Qi …"
When Yun Yang walked out of the God's Grave, he felt a little hazy.
No matter how intelligent he was, he would never have thought that the source of God's Bones, which Mr. Nian and the Four Seasons Tower's people yearned for, would have such a hidden secret!
This was an earth-shattering secret that no 'human' would have thought of!
"The Four Seasons Tower's wish is to collect all of God's Bones, hoping to become a true immortal and even be ranked among the immortals … What they don't know is that it's impossible to become a true immortal by relying on God's Bones. Even if they succeed, they'll only fall behind. As for being ranked among the immortals, that's even more absurd. There's no immortal class to speak of in this world, let alone being ranked among them. Based on this, not only is God's Bones not an opportunity for the Four Seasons Tower to ascend to the heavens, it's a trap that's beyond redemption!"
"Putting aside the fact that they'll never be able to collect all of God's Bones, even if they're lucky enough to collect all of them and achieve the level of a true immortal, what they'll know in the end is a hopeless reality. There'll be no more room for advancement in their cultivation journey, only despair!"
"The moment of success is the moment of failure. This … this is the most terrifying despair!"
Subconsciously, Yun Yang recalled how the Four Seasons Tower had been working tirelessly towards this goal for so many years. The manpower, resources, financial resources, and mental effort that they had expended were too much. However, the truth was that this was the truth. It was truly depressing.
Yun Yang could not help sighing inwardly.
Putting aside the good and evil of Mr. Nian and the others, which one of them was not a rare talent in this world?
Yet, they had fallen into this irresistible maze. Once they had fallen into it, they could no longer escape.
However, at the end of the day, all of this was just human greed at work.
Since the beginning of time, no one had been able to resist the temptation of attaining the highest heights in this world. They had sunk deep into it, unable to extricate themselves!
"Mr. Nian was indeed up to no good when he told me the location of God's Grave. This is the last trap he's laid for me. However, this trap is a test of whether my heart is greedy or not. "
"Mr. Nian is indeed a formidable hero of his generation. He's already dead, yet he's left such a huge pit! "
Yun Yang recalled something – before the final battle, Mr. Nian did not have a single piece of God's Bone!
As the Four Seasons Tower's ruler, he did not have a single piece of God's Bone that could allow one to ascend to immortality. What did this mean?
Thinking back to today, he could not help but shudder.
