The Growth of a God

Chapter 873 - 7: Skeleton Supremacy

Profound Realm Heaven, Anomaly Observation Station.

"Aren’t you going to try it out?"

With his distinct octopus head, Chi Qiu looked at the continually fluctuating indices on the monitoring instruments, and curiously asked Tianyu beside him.

"No, I have no interest in power."

As these words were spoken, Chi Qiu suddenly widened his eyes in surprise.

"So you’ve noticed it too?"

Annoyed, Tianyu slapped Chi Qiu and gestured for him to keep an eye on the fluctuation index on the monitoring instruments.

"Do we even need to look?"

"Leader Tianyou has long shown an intention to retire, and this time he has specifically convened meetings with the Great Prophets."

"Discussing how to handle the Profound Realm Heaven might indeed be part of the meeting, but it certainly isn’t the whole agenda."

Seeing this, Chi Qiu could only shake his head regretfully.

"I actually think you could give it a shot, after all, there’s no one among our peers more qualified than you."

With a rather odd expression, Tianyu glanced at Chi Qiu, uncertain whether to mock him for being carefree or for his lack of self-awareness.

Clearly, among peers, Chi Qiu is the one most qualified to be the leader of the civilization.

"I’m not like some self-ignorant guy, I can’t handle those complex interpersonal relationships."

Compared to the hearty-natured Chi Qiu, Tianyu’s character leans towards being calm, tackling affairs swiftly, without regard for offending others.

"Besides, I’m only interested in exploring the world’s secrets and truths, I can’t bear the weight of a civilization."

As he continued speaking, Tianyu took out a Heaven Peeping Mirror, a replica of the Vast Heaven Mirror, from his bosom.

At that moment, the image in the Heaven Peeping Mirror revealed a unique Skeleton.

"If I remember correctly, isn’t it called Kangtao?"

Immediately leaning in closer, a few tentacles on Chi Qiu’s chin twitched slightly.

"The first-born of the Fifth Generation Skeletons, an outstanding figure among them, an ambitious little fellow."

Just as Chi Qiu said, Kangtao is a very ambitious Skeleton.

Since returning with the Sky City·Gunlong, Kangtao has held great prestige among the new generation of Skeletons.

Kangtao lives up to this prestige and ambition, attempting to develop a path for all Skeletons to achieve Ascension to Divinity.

Moreover, he has the support of the most insane scientist among Skeletons—Yao Guang.

This is the Desecrator who manufactured and imprisoned a God, once locked up in the Arctic Celestial Cabinet.

"Do you think he has the credentials to compete for the leader of the civilization?"

Facing Chi Qiu’s question, Tianyu merely sighed imperceptibly.

"Regarding capability, qualifications, achievements, and even prestige, Kangtao indeed has the credentials to compete for civilization leader."

"But the issue is, he is a Skeleton, and moreover an extremist who staunchly believes in ’Skeleton supremacy’."

"Not to mention whether the civilization leader position could allow the same race to hold it consecutively..."

"Just Kangtao’s stance inclination alone has destined him to receive no support from races other than Skeletons."

"Success from this, fail from this."

"If Kangtao can’t amend his stance inclination well before the most qualified competitor emerges, he’ll ultimately only become the leader of the Skeleton race."

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

"Is this also a weak point?"

Standing on a vast plain, Kangtao looked at the endless grassland, understandably skeptical.

Because compared to those clearly defined "anomalies", this place seemed to exhibit no dimensional or temporal disorder phenomena.

In view, only occasionally could one see some groups of animals drinking water or hunting in the verdant grassland.

"Since there are naturally formed time-space weaknesses, there are also those artificially created."

Also gazing into the endless wilderness, Yao Guang, still in sin, softly explained.

Although during the war with A mon, Yao Guang helped the Mountain and Sea Civilization research the time-space passage to Thebes World.

Yet, due to Yao Guang still harboring two independent personalities, Huai Shen and A mon, within his body, his actions remain subject to constraint and limitation.

To be able to make an exception and accompany Kangtao to Profound Realm Heaven this time is already an immense favor.

After all, even Kangtao cannot guarantee that Huai Shen and A mon within Yao Guang will not seize the chance to escape Mountain and Sea Realm, perhaps causing even greater chaos.

It can only be said that Kangtao and Yao Guang indeed live up to being of the same lineage as Tianyou among the Skeletons.

In terms of courage and boldness, they’re indeed unmatched by ordinary Mountain and Sea People.

Indeed, alternatively, one could say their audacity is remarkably similar.

"Did A mon tell you this?"

Involuntarily furrowing his brows, Kangtao clearly distrusted the other personality within Yao Guang.

This has nothing to do with whether the opposite party was once A mon’s incarnation.

It’s purely Kangtao’s stance as a Skeleton, as a Mountain and Sea Person, towards foreigners.

"That’s not important, what’s important is what choice you make now."

Although Kangtao and Yao Guang have temporarily reached a cooperation, it’s evident Yao Guang isn’t fully aligned with him.

Rather than saying it’s a subordinate relationship, the two sides are more like collaborating with mutual agendas.

"From the moment I agreed to follow you here, I already made my choice."

"The entity invading Profound Realm Heaven already poses a threat to Mountain and Sea Realm, I have the responsibility and duty to nip this crisis in the bud."

Speaking with unwavering tone, Kangtao then shifted the conversation.

"As for you, how many do you think would believe your assumption and theory?"

"What if Zhiku and the Prophets deem your theory alarmist and disregard the anomaly at Profound Realm Heaven, then what?"

Upon hearing, Yao Guang immediately chuckled.

"Zhiku and the Prophets aren’t like you, they don’t have such serious suspicion issues."

"Even if the anomaly at Profound Realm Heaven has only a millionth chance, they can’t possibly overlook it."

At this point, Yao Guang didn’t forget to add.

"Even if they do ignore my warning, so what? There’s still you who believes me, right?"

Yao Guang’s voice was determined and confident; though insane, he never fought an unprepared battle.

To thoroughly study Xuanhuang Qi, find the shortcut for all Skeletons to achieve Ascension to Divinity, he even stealthily learned part of the Qi Refining Technique from Master Xuanji.

"This is a crisis, but it’s also an opportunity."

Forming a Dharma Seal with his hands, Yao Guang transformed into a Three Heads and Six Arms form.

And these three heads belong to Yao Guang, Huai Shen, and A mon; together, they prompted the disturbance of Xuanhuang Qi within a thousand-mile radius.

Rumbling...

Instantly, a dark void emerged out of thin air in the wilderness.

And behind that void lies a cloudy, endless Ascension path.
