Chapter 284: Skeleton’s Confession

In the mysterious space, there were mysterious corpses everywhere. After Lin Jiufeng observed carefully, he realized that they weren’t from the Number One Race.

Why was he so sure?

Lin Jiufeng saw a palace that was made of bones.

This palace had 300 bone steps. After walking up, Lin Jiufeng saw an incomplete stone tablet.

It was originally complete, but half of it was cut off. There were a few words written on it.

Postnatal God Race!

Lin Jiufeng looked at it carefully and muttered to himself, “Could it be that the corpses here all belong to this Postnatal God Race?”

The Postnatal God Race wasn’t from the Myriad Races, but just by hearing their name alone, they seemed to be somewhat related to the God Race.

[Do you want to Sign-In at the Postnatal God Race’s base?]

Such a line of words appeared in front of Lin Jiufeng’s eyes. Only then did he confirm that the corpses in this place all belonged to the Postnatal God Race and not the Number One Race.

A day had passed since he entered the Eye of the North Sea.

“Sign in!” Lin Jiufeng said decisively. He really wanted to know what he could sign for at the place of the Postnatal God Race.

[Sign-In successful. Received the God Race Boundary Stone!]

A stone tablet appeared in front of Lin Jiufeng. It wasn’t made of ordinary materials. There wasn’t anything written on it, only a picture of a bolt of lightning.

Lin Jiufeng didn’t know what this was for, because it didn’t look like a magic treasure or an immortal artifact. It couldn’t be refined. It was just like a pure stone tablet.

“Boundary Stone? What exactly is this?” Lin Jiufeng raised his brows and checked the information about this thing.

[A Boundary Stone filled with ominous things!]

There was only one sentence for the introduction of the God Race Boundary Stone.

Lin Jiufeng smiled helplessly. He could only put it away. It seemed that he wouldn’t be able to use it for the time being.

After putting away the God Race Boundary Stone, Lin Jiufeng carefully observed this bone hall. It was very bright and emitted a terrifying aura. This palace built from bones looked terrifying.

Lin Jiufeng took a few steps forward and stood in front of the bone hall. He looked at the dark interior of the hall. It was as if a huge beast had opened its mouth and was about to devour Lin Jiufeng.

This feeling was very terrifying.

But Lin Jiufeng wasn’t afraid. He directly stepped into the bone hall.

Da da da!

The bone hall was empty. It was originally very quiet, and now, only Lin Jiufeng’s footsteps reverberated.

There were many pillars in the hall, and these pillars were also made of bones. They were all parts of different ferocious beasts, and they were very huge, supporting this bone hall.

As he walked, Lin Jiufeng suddenly saw a skeleton standing quietly behind a pillar.

If it wasn’t for the Eye of Origin, Lin Jiufeng wouldn’t have discovered it immediately.

It was Lin Jiufeng’s Eye of Origin that instantly saw that there was a soul fire burning in this skeleton’s body. It was hidden in the bones and was very difficult to discover.

“This is a sentient skeleton!” Lin Jiufeng was certain of this. He walked in front of the skeleton and stopped.

He looked calmly at the skeleton.

Without blinking.

Silently exerting pressure.

Lin Jiufeng’s Eye of Origin had been analyzing this skeleton all this time. It was obvious that it was different from the lifeless skeletons outside. It had its own soul fire, and it wasn’t burning outward, but hiding in its skeleton body.

Hence, no one else could discover it. Only Lin Jiufeng’s Eye of Origin could see through it.

A few minutes later, the skeleton still didn’t move. Lin Jiufeng directly said, “Are you the only living creature in the entire bone hall?”

The skeleton that was originally standing still slowly raised its head at this moment. With a bang, the entire skeleton burst into flames. Two fireballs appeared in the skeleton’s eyes.

The skeleton came alive.

“How did you discover me?” The skeleton asked calmly.

“My eyes can see things that others can’t,” Lin Jiufeng said honestly.

The Eye of Origin was to be able to see the essence of things through appearance.

“Are you from outside?” The skeleton walked out and asked.

“Yes.” Lin Jiufeng nodded.

“In the outside world, are the different races of the Myriad Races all developing very well now?” The skeleton asked curiously.

Lin Jiufeng’s heart moved. This skeleton even knew about the Myriad Races. It seemed that it was also from the era more than 10,000 years ago.

“No!” Lin Jiufeng shook his head.

“In that case, is the Primordial God Mountain ruling above the rest?” The skeleton’s blazing flames fluctuated, displaying its mental fluctuations as it asked again.

Lin Jiufeng continued to shake his head. “The Primordial God Mountain has already been destroyed.”

The skeleton was shocked this time. It murmured, “This shouldn’t be the case. The strength of the Primordial God Mountain is very powerful and terrifying. It has always been improving. How could it be destroyed?”

“Moreover, the Number One Race has been suppressed. Logically speaking, as long as the Primordial God Mountain doesn’t seek death, it can continue to exist.”

The skeleton was puzzled. Its fiery red eyeball stared at Lin Jiufeng and it asked in confusion, “Who can destroy the Primordial God Mountain?”

“Me!” Lin Jiufeng pointed at himself and said calmly.

“You?” The flames on the skeleton’s body fluctuated violently. The flames danced fiercely, showing the skeleton’s surprise.

“You are just a False Immortal, how can you destroy the Primordial God Mountain with such a weak strength?” The skeleton expressed its doubt.

“I’m a little weak, but the problem is that the Primordial God Mountain is even weaker, so they were wiped out by me.” Lin Jiufeng smiled and said.

“How did you destroy the Primordial God Mountain?” The skeleton asked, shocked and curious.

Lin Jiufeng didn’t answer. He looked at the skeleton. The corner of his mouth curled up as he said, “You’ve asked me so many questions, it’s my turn to ask you.”

The skeleton stared at Lin Jiufeng. After a moment of silence, it reluctantly said, “Then ask. I will tell you everything that I can.”

“Who are you?” Lin Jiufeng asked directly.

The skeleton said softly, “A human who made a mistake.”

“You are a human?” Lin Jiufeng raised his brows. This exceeded his guess.

He originally thought that it was someone from the Postnatal God Race.

“I was once a human.” The skeleton nodded.

“Once…” Lin Jiufeng pondered for a moment. He didn’t pursue the matter further and changed the subject.

“What race is the Postnatal God Race?”

The skeleton walked out and saw the incomplete stone tablet. Then, looking at the dyed mountains and the spread of bones on the sea, it said, “The Postnatal God Race are those like me who have abandoned the mark of our original races and transformed into the God Race.”

“I see.” Lin Jiufeng finally understood.

The people of the Postnatal God Race were a group of people who were very dissatisfied with their original races. They felt that they didn’t have much potential, so they transformed themselves into the God Race. But because they were transformed from other races, their bloodline was different from that of the Innate God Race. This was why the Postnatal God Race appeared.

“The others are all dead, why are you still alive?” Lin Jiufeng asked curiously.

“I also want to die, but I can’t. I can only guard the bone hall like this. I won’t age or die, I also can’t leave, therefore becoming like this,” the skeleton said helplessly.

“What exactly are you guarding? There aren’t any treasures here, are there?” Lin Jiufeng asked curiously.

“This bone hall was built by a true god,” the skeleton said.

Lin Jiufeng’s expression changed. He hesitated and asked, “Is it the God of Darkness?”

The skeleton was surprised. “How did you know?”

“Not only do I know this, but I also know that the God of Darkness has been killed,” Lin Jiufeng said honestly.

“You’re talking about the Kunlun Immortal, right? He’s indeed very powerful. He killed the God of Darkness here, but he didn’t kill him completely,” the skeleton said.

“He wasn’t completely killed? How is that possible?” Lin Jiufeng frowned. The Kunlun Immortal wouldn’t be so careless.

“The Kunlun Immortal did kill the God of Darkness, but he didn’t completely understand the essence of the God of Darkness. He has a second heart that is hidden elsewhere. Once he is killed, a new body will be born from the second heart, and he will slowly recover his strength.” The skeleton explained to Lin Jiufeng.

“You know so much because you witnessed this piece of history?” Lin Jiufeng asked suspiciously.

“That’s right. I was originally already dead. I gave up this skeleton body and chose to end my own life. But the God of Darkness woke me up and asked me to guard the door for him. After more than 10,000 years, I’m still persevering here.” The skeleton’s tone was very complicated. He didn’t want to be like this.

“You can’t refuse?” Lin Jiufeng asked, puzzled.

“We, the people of the Postnatal God Race, have all been transformed by the God of Darkness. He has control over our lives and deaths. I can’t refuse his orders. Even if I want to die wholeheartedly, I can’t,” the skeleton said helplessly.

The skeleton had the desire to die, but if the God of Darkness refused to let it die, it wouldn’t be able to die. It had to stand guard for the God of Darkness here.

But the skeleton wasn’t stupid. It wasn’t easy for it to see a living person like Lin Jiufeng, so it decisively shared these things.

“Why are you telling me all these?” Lin Jiufeng asked with a frown.

“Don’t you want to kill the God of Darkness?” The skeleton asked.

“The God of Darkness is so powerful. More than 10,000 years have passed, he must have recovered the strength of an immortal. I’m only a ninth stage False Immortal, how can I kill him?” Lin Jiufeng shook his head. Although he was confident, he wasn’t arrogant. He was still a distance away from becoming an immortal.

“You overestimated the God of Darkness and underestimated the Kunlun Immortal. The harm that he brought to the God of Darkness cannot be recovered even with his new body. The God of Darkness has been trying to heal his injuries all these years, but the effect isn’t obvious. He has yet to become an immortal,” the skeleton said to Lin Jiufeng.

“You wish for me to kill the God of Darkness?” Lin Jiufeng looked at the skeleton that was emitting flames.

“Of course. If you kill him, I will be free. At the same time, it will also signify that the absurd Postnatal God Race has completely disappeared,” the skeleton lamented.

“The absurd Postnatal God Race?” Lin Jiufeng looked at the skeleton, puzzled.

“A group of people who looked down on their original origins and were willing to give up their original selves to become puppets in the hands of others. We are like puppets that have been stringed up, controlled by others, and have no choice but to obey. All of these for becoming a so-called God, isn’t this absurd?” The skeleton said in self-mockery.

“Look at my current wretched appearance. This is the perfect race that I pursue. I really reap what I sow. I can’t live nor die,” the skeleton said tragically.

“If you have the ability to kill the God of Darkness, I will be willing to pay anything for you to do so. I will tell you everything that you want to know.” The skeleton solemnly guaranteed.

This was also the reason why the skeleton answered Lin Jiufeng’s questions.

Lin Jiufeng looked at the skeleton and asked seriously, “Are you sure that the God of Darkness hasn’t reached the Immortal Realm yet?”

This was very important. If he didn’t become an immortal, Lin Jiufeng would really want to kill him.

No matter what, he had already destroyed the Primordial God Mountain. How could Lin Jiufeng let the mastermind behind the Primordial God Mountain off?

Lin Jiufeng kept staring at the skeleton. His eyes were very sharp. The Eye of Origin locked onto the other party to ensure that it wasn’t lying.

“I’m certain that the heart and the new body of the God of Darkness are both here at the bottom of this hall. You can kill him once and for all here,” the skeleton said solemnly.

“I can go and kill the God of Darkness, but you have to tell me his origins.” Lin Jiufeng used the Eye of Origin to check. After confirming that the skeleton wasn’t lying, he asked.

“The God of Darkness is a member of the God Race, but he told me in a conversation that he didn’t agree with the ideals of the God Race, so he fell into the darkness, hugged the shadows, and became the God of Darkness,” the skeleton said.

“In other words, the God of Darkness is actually a traitor of the God Race.” Lin Jiufeng seemed to be in deep thought.

“That’s right. The God of Darkness is the same as us, he betrayed his original race too. Therefore, being controlled by him, we are only reaping what we sow.” The skeleton laughed at itself.

“Then, what about the real God Race?” Lin Jiufeng asked.

He had always been curious. What was the final outcome of the real God Race?

“I don’t know about this, but I seem to have heard from the God of Darkness that the God Race disappeared in the long river of history after a world-shocking battle.”

“As for what kind of battle it was and how intense the battle was, I’m really not sure. The only thing that I can be sure of is that after the destruction of the God Race, the Myriad Races were slowly born. The Number One Race basically inherited some of the things of the God Race. The God of Darkness was enraged because of this. Therefore, he secretly supported the Primordial God Mountain and wiped out the Number One Race. Then, he even suppressed the Number One Race in the Eye of the North Sea.” The skeleton explained tirelessly.

“Then where’s the Number One Race now? There are corpses everywhere here, are some of them from the Number One Race?” Lin Jiufeng asked curiously.

“The corpses here don’t belong to the Number One Race. They all belong to the Postnatal God Race. They were killed by the aftershocks of the battle between the Kunlun Immortal and the God of Darkness.”

“As for the Number One Race, I only know that the Kunlun Immortal took them away after saving them.”

“Before the Kunlun Immortal left, he said something about wanting the Number One Race to atone for their crimes.”

“Then, there’s only me and the God of Darkness left here.”

The skeleton explained Lin Jiufeng’s doubts in detail.

“The Number One Race was suppressed in the Eye of the North Sea, then taken away by the Kunlun Immortal to atone for their crimes?” Lin Jiufeng frowned deeply.

“Do you know what battle the Immortal Kunlun brought the powerhouses of the Number One Race to participate in?” Lin Jiufeng asked.

“Who knows? The Kunlun Immortal is a powerhouse that can kill the God of Darkness. I have no idea of his actions.” The skeleton shook its head.

“Since that’s the case, bring me to see this God of Darkness first. I want to see how powerful this so-called traitor of the God Race and embraced the darkness is!” Lin Jiufeng said.

The skeleton was overjoyed. It said, “I will definitely do my best to assist you in killing the God of Darkness. Although I can’t control my life and death, I can still control my body for a short battle.”

“You just have to bring me there. As long as the God of Darkness is as you say, I will let him feel the smell of death again today.”
