Chapter 1256: 937 Chapter: The Bones of the True God

The Yellow Robed Giant laughed heartily after hearing Su Yu’s words and said, "A soul born within the True Demon King Crown? Ha ha... Human, you are mistaken, I am not a soul born from the True Demon King Crown. Moreover, this is not some True Demon King Crown or, shall we say, it’s just that those boring demons have treated it like some kind of crown, but in reality... this True Demon King Crown, as you see... it is half a skull... far beyond what you imagined, the remnant of a soul left behind."

At this point, the Yellow Robed Giant showed a strange expression on his face.

Su Yu stared at the Yellow Robed Giant, hearing him admit he wasn’t a soul born from the True Demon King Crown, he was momentarily taken aback and then asked, "Not? Then you are...?"

His thoughts raced, and suddenly, Su Yu exclaimed, "You are the God of Netherworld?"

It struck him that the True Demon King Crown was once called the Netherworld Skull. Considering everything, it might have been the God of Netherworld’s trickery all along. Now, this Yellow Robed Giant claimed he wasn’t a soul born from the True Demon King Crown, which likely meant he could be the "God of Netherworld" revered by the Netherworld people.

This time, it was the Yellow Robed Giant who paused briefly, then he sneered, "Human lad, you aren’t foolish; how did you guess I am the God of Netherworld?"

Su Yu, having his suspicion confirmed, realized that this Yellow Robed Giant was indeed the legendary God of Netherworld who had battled the Eskimos millennia ago, sealing three hundred and sixty-five demons before he himself fell. His mind was overwhelmed by a torrent. Everything before him indicated that the legends weren’t accurate. The God of Netherworld had intentionally disguised the True Demon King Crown, along with the setup in Skeleton Ice City, exposing the Yellow Robed Giant’s undeniable scheme.

"This True Demon King Crown, originally disguised as the Netherworld Skull... From there, guessing your true identity was not difficult. Your soul resides within this True Demon King Crown, yet you disguised it as your own skull, along with those tales of battles and demise with demons, must all be your own machinations, right, God of Netherworld? What exactly are you trying to achieve with all these actions?"

Hearing Su Yu’s inquiry, the Yellow Robed Giant heaved a deep sigh and murmured, "All of this, is a long story..."

This matter had weighed on his heart for countless ages; now suddenly faced with Su Yu, he felt an unbearable urge to confess.

"Telling you wouldn’t hurt, since today, you can’t escape my grasp anyway... Little lad, even though you have become an immortal being, here, you are no more than a maggot... Heh heh, just let yourself die a clear-headed ghost."

The Yellow Robed Giant lazily sat down while speaking, slowly saying, "Speaking of which, this so-called True Demon King Crown’s true nature is actually a relic, a bone. It’s funny how those demons, having this treasure at their disposal, treated it merely as an ornamental crown... such foolish beings."

Su Yu, observing his assured demeanor, listened and slowly said, "Since the True Demon King Crown is a treasure, therefore... you sought to steal this treasure for yourself? And even thought of taking it as your own?" Hearing the Yellow Robed Giant, he already had a vague idea of the God of Netherworld’s intentions.

The God of Netherworld laughed heartily and said, "Talking to a smart person is easy. Those demons are stupid, treating this object only as decoration and a symbol of status, but I, by a stroke of fate, learned that this crown was actually a relic of a supremely exalted being from legends... From that moment on, I thought about how to steal this crown and use the power of this relic for myself..."

At this, he sighed lightly and said, "Human lad, seeing you are young but have already cultivated to the peak of Golden Ninth Rank, have you ever felt, on the path of cultivation, there’s no way forward?"

Su Yu heard this and unconsciously nodded slightly; now, he had attained Golden Flesh, Golden Blood, Golden Bones, and Golden Soul, and had reached his cultivation’s limit, unable to advance further.

"I used to think the same, believing that reaching your level of realm was the limit... until... I saw the True Demon King Crown, learned the secret of this crown, and then I knew, if, I could surpass this so-called limit of all beings, I could achieve... I could become... a true deity."

At this, the God of Netherworld’s eyes flashed a terrifying light, as his right hand’s fingers slowly tensed.

"True God... Just by surpassing this stage, one can become a supreme being... a true deity..."

The Yellow Robed Giant, the legendary God of Netherworld, revealed a sinister smile and said, "However, cultivating on one’s own, it is impossible to surpass this limit. I need external help, and the aid I’ve chosen is this True Demon King Crown..."

As he said this, his right hand slowly turned, and gradually, half of a blue skull appeared in his hand. A look of intoxication swept over the God of Netherworld’s face as he gently caressed the half skull, murmuring, "This is the glory of a true god... Little ghost, what do you know? This is the skull of a true god."

Su Yu trembled slightly, staring at the blue skull and exclaimed in a lost voice, "Is this the skull of a true god?"

The God of Netherworld’s expression turned solemn and he nodded, "Indeed, it is the skull of a true divine being from legends. If I could possess the power of this skull, I, the God of Netherworld, could also transform into a true divine being, the true god of the Netherworld realm."

Upon reaching this point, his expression suddenly changed and he said angrily, "It’s infuriating... With our current realm and level, we are fundamentally incapable of completely assimilating and merging with this true god’s skull... Out of sheer helplessness, I finally thought of a way, which is to rebirth through borrowing bones."

Su Yu, with a quick thought, nodded slightly and said, "I understand now. So, you abandoned your own body and lodged your soul into the True Demon’s crown..." As he spoke, he felt that the God of Netherworld’s chosen method was quite similar to his own situation when his body collapsed and he ultimately reincarnated into that giant cocoon.

"That’s right, I carefully studied and confirmed that there were absolutely no other remnants of souls left within this True Demon’s crown. That’s why I decided to abandon my ultimately decaying body and use the rebirth spell on my own soul to reincarnate into this skull of a true god. This skull then essentially became my new body; for this, I prepared a lot..."

"But then, a problem occurred. The level of this skull is too high, and with my current soul, it’s like letting an infant command a giant ship sailing through tumultuous seas. I couldn’t make flesh grow on this skull. I was forced, over ten thousand years, to keep cultivating the power of my soul within the skull, trying to merge with it from inside out to create a new body, but I constantly failed. Although I had full control over the skull’s power, I couldn’t further utilize this skull for more advanced cultivation. In this way, I could only continue to remain with just this half skull."

"Having no choice, I had to look for a new body, and this body had to be strong enough to withstand the skull’s power, so that, occupying this body and integrating the fully refined power of this skull into this body... After that, I will become the true God of Netherworld..."

The God of Netherworld sighed suddenly, "However, although I have refined the power of the skull, I can’t manifest any of the skull’s powers. The skull is like a vessel, a gigantic ship without power, and now this giant ship remains just an empty shell with no propulsion to activate it..."

"I was trapped inside this empty shell of a giant ship, feeling utterly helpless, until this skull was found by you..."

Finally, a smile appeared on the face of the God of Netherworld, "Originally, I did not have much faith in you, but your performance has truly been astonishing, and what’s even more astonishing is that within just a few decades, you’ve reached the immortal realm and even exposed this skull to star energy..."

He paused slightly and continued, "Of course, even I didn’t expect that this skull could completely devour and absorb a whole star, but thanks to that, this now hollow ship finally has power, and I can finally take over your body... Ha, haha..."

At this point, he burst into great laughter, "By taking over your body and merging the power of this skull, which now contains the energy of an entire star, unimaginable energy will be mine. From now on, who in the world can stand against me, the God of Netherworld? I will become the only true god in the universe—"

The God of Netherworld laughed wildly, having overtaken Su Yu’s body and merged with the skull’s power, wielding the energy of an entire star. This realm and level were unimaginable. No creature in the universe could defy him anymore; he would become the true and only god, the supreme existence.

Su Yu silently watched the God of Netherworld burst into laughter. Actually, even if he hadn’t revealed his schemes, Su Yu had largely guessed them already. The only thing that surprised him was the skull—whose former owner had been the skull, how had they fallen, and why did this half skull effortlessly devour an entire star?

Could it be that the skull’s former owner was indeed a true god?

But if so, why had they fallen, and why was only half of the skull left?

Thinking of the blue skull, Su Yu couldn’t help but think of the blue-robed people, their hearts also blue, along with the Spear of Orthodoxy, Absolute Shield, and Chaos Staff—all blue. It seemed that in the starry universe, the meaning represented by the color blue was even greater than that of gold.
