Jiang Hao: "Um... have you already become a god?"
Although it seemed unbelievable, Jiang Hao felt that this was the only possibility. Otherwise, there was no way to explain the various abilities the little skeleton had displayed.
The little skeleton was silent for a moment, then said, "Strictly speaking, I have only become a false god. I can control everything in the Netherworld at will. With a single thought, I can make them live or die. I can make rivers flow from the bottom to the sky and make all living beings walk upside down in the sky."
Just when Jiang Hao thought the little skeleton was bragging, a river of white bones, several kilometers wide, suddenly appeared before his eyes. They flew diagonally from the ground to the sky, with white bones weaving through them, just like a great river flowing towards the heavens.
At the same time, skeletal monsters leaped out of the river, standing upside down in the sky, walking and jumping...
Through his senses, Jiang Hao knew that what he was seeing was not a fantasy, but something that was actually happening.
Jiang Hao was completely stunned by this ability.
All the skeleton monsters jumped into the river of bones again, and then the river of bones crashed down onto the bone ground of the Netherworld.
Little Skeleton: "Don't be surprised, all beings sitting on the throne of the Underworld will become omnipotent gods in the Underworld."
After hearing the little skeleton's explanation, and with Jiang Hao's own intuition, the peculiarity and power of the Netherworld Throne became easier to understand.
The little skeleton said, "Now I have glimpsed the secrets of the Netherworld Throne. Two thousand years from now, I will surely become a true god. During this time, I will not be able to leave the Netherworld Throne even for a moment."
Jiang Hao: "Since you have the ability to change the summoning contract, don't you also have the ability to eliminate that contract? Can't you also end my soul link?"
Little Skeleton: "Why would I want to break our contract? Your talent is incredibly powerful; I simply can't bear to break it. Although the contract on a main god will automatically disappear after becoming a god, there are still 2000 years to go, aren't there?"
The little skeleton's confession made Jiang Hao feel a chill.
Little Skeleton: "Ever since I sat on the Throne of the Underworld, my soul has been constantly attacked by those evil thoughts. Even now, my soul is still suffering immense torment."
This was something Jiang Hao hadn't considered. After all, since the little skeleton activated its energy conversion, Jiang Hao hadn't noticed anything unusual.
Could it be...?
Jiang Hao carefully sensed the surroundings through the mustard seed and discovered that the purple soul he had injected into the little skeleton's soul fire was now being enveloped from the outside in by the little skeleton's soul fire.
Why did the little skeleton do that?
Jiang Hao had complete faith that the little skeleton was capable of severing its soul link with his. If it wanted to communicate with him, it only needed to send a tiny wisp of blue light into his head.
Perhaps I will become a slave to the little skeletons, just like those skeleton monsters before me.
As Jiang Hao gained more experience in the Spirit Ruins, he had ingrained caution into his very being. Now, facing the small skeleton who held a decisive advantage and whose allegiance was unclear, Jiang Hao couldn't help but contemplate the worst-case scenario.
Little Skeleton: "Do you know what the underworld is all about?"
Jiang Hao had his own guesses, but he felt that this question didn't seem to need an answer.
Little Skeleton: "Since the Spirit Ruins were created by the gods, the Netherworld has become the final resting place for all living beings after they die. At that time, there were no skeletons or other monsters here, only piles of white bones and all sorts of evil thoughts brought about by the death of those living beings."
Little Skeleton: "As the area within the Spirit Ruins grew larger and larger, and the number of living beings within the Spirit Ruins increased, the Netherworld finally exceeded its own limits."
"But by this time, all the gods who established the Spirit Ruins had perished, and no one had the ability to make any changes to the Netherworld. So the Netherworld continued to absorb the dead and evil thoughts from the Spirit Ruins."
"After countless years of accumulation, the Netherworld was completely occupied by bones and evil thoughts. But miraculously, among those piles of bones and countless death auras, another kind of energy was born: the aura of life."
“Those vital energies have endless uses. As vital energies increased, the Netherworld gradually became what it is today. The Netherworld Throne I sit on is the point where death energy and vital energy meet in the Netherworld.”
This is absolutely unbelievable!
Hearing this, Jiang Hao already thought the little skeleton was talking nonsense. But upon further reflection, he thought, "It's better to be safe than sorry." What if, after so much time, the Netherworld really did evolve in this way?
Jiang Hao believes it is entirely possible.
But why would the little skeleton tell him this?
Jiang Hao: "Why do all the skeleton monsters here want to enter the Spirit Ruins? Looking back at the history of the Spirit Ruins, we can see that almost every 200 years, there is an event where a skeleton army invades the Spirit Ruins."
The little skeleton said, "Because the death energy and life energy on the Throne of the Underworld are not always in balance. For example, right now, the death energy is at its strongest and the life energy is at its weakest. When the fog contracts, those skeletons will be controlled by the death energy and evil thoughts. They will become cruel and bloodthirsty."
So there was another layer of relationship.
Jiang Hao's worries deepened. He wasn't particularly concerned about whether the skeleton army invaded the Spirit Ruins. His concern was whether the Domain of Numbers would be left solely to the little skeletons in the future.
Looking at the hole in the boundary barrier in the distance, Jiang Hao could only sigh helplessly.
Little Skeleton: "You don't need to worry about that. After I became the King of the Underworld, I was different from all the previous Kings of the Underworld in one way."
Jiang Hao: "Oh?"
Little Skeleton: "Thanks to your teammates, I've learned energy conversion. From now on, there will only be fewer and fewer skeletons in the Netherworld. Because to become a god, I need to absorb a massive amount of energy."
Jiang Hao understood what the little skeleton meant.
If the energy in the Netherworld runs out, the skeletal creatures here might become nourishment for the little skeletons to become gods.
The more the little skeleton revealed, the more chills ran down Jiang Hao's spine.
The little skeleton was Jiang Hao's most powerful summon, and it still is. But Jiang Hao wants to leave this place as soon as possible, as far away from the little skeleton as possible.
The little skeleton's silence and scheming, revealed in the brief introduction, made Jiang Hao feel uneasy.
Is Little Skeleton really just the King of the Underworld in this generation?
Is it possible that it was already the king of the underworld a long time ago?
Otherwise, why would it know so much about the previous Netherworld?
Jiang Hao didn't think an ordinary skeleton monster could know the information it revealed.
Jiang Hao even began to suspect that the previous Netherworld Kings were probably all little skeletons!
