Chapter 1 When Qiao Yu Arrived at God Mountain

When Qiao Yu arrived at God Mountain, the battle was already over.

The scene was a complete mess, and even the temple on God Mountain had collapsed under the violent force.

Qiao Yu frowned as he looked at the chaotic scene.

"That's strange, it looks like it was ransacked by a bomb squad... I haven't even delivered my warmth yet, did some kind soul beat me to it?"

Qiao Yu couldn't figure it out. Then, behind a broken stone pillar, he kicked a round object that rolled further and further away like a soccer ball.

"What's that?"

Qiao Yu picked it up and realized it was the First Elder's Mediterranean-style head, his eyes wide with unclosed resentment.

"Holy crap, First Elder! What happened to you! Cheer up!"

Qiao Yu patted the First Elder's cheek, but the First Elder had been dead for quite some time. If it weren't for the snow and ice on God Mountain, the First Elder's body might have already started to stink.

Qiao Yu couldn't help but feel puzzled. The First Elder had already returned to the peak of God Mountain, so logically, he should have been safe. How could he have died here for no reason?

"Alas, First Elder, you were a respectable person in life, but you ended up like this. It's such a pity. Let me send you on your final journey. Go!"

Qiao Yu kicked out, sending the First Elder's head flying, turning into a black dot and disappearing into the horizon.

Then, Qiao Yu continued to walk forward and soon came across four more corpses. These four corpses were those of the Second Elder, Third Elder, and Fourth Elder, and each of them had died a terrible death.

Their bodies were covered in all sorts of different wounds and scars, clearly indicating that they had been besieged to death. Half of the Third Elder's head had even been blown to pieces, and the red and white matter was frozen in the ice and snow.

"Goodness..." Qiao Yu couldn't help but click his tongue. Who on earth did this?

"Ugh..."

Suddenly, a low groan sounded from the four corpses in front of him. Qiao Yu's face lit up, and he quickly rushed over.

After some investigation, he discovered that the Second Elder still had one last breath left.

However, the Second Elder's current condition wasn't good either. His eyes had been gouged out, and his chest had been cut open. It was truly difficult for him to still have a breath left with such severe injuries.

"The God Emperor... joined forces with the Xing family... betrayed God Mountain! Avenge us... avenge us!"

The Second Elder, whose eyes had been gouged out, couldn't see who had come, and could only use his last breath to force himself to finish these words with his willpower.

"Well, well..."

A gleam flashed in Qiao Yu's eyes. He had always thought that the God Emperor was just a puppet ruler supported by the elders of God Mountain.

But he didn't expect that the God Emperor's ambition seemed to be even greater than he had imagined, and that he had even killed all the elders of God Mountain.

Seeing that the Second Elder's breathing was beginning to weaken, Qiao Yu quickly pinched his nose and said in a muffled voice.

"Second Elder! I also want to avenge you! But my strength is weak, and I'm afraid I'm no match for them at all!"

"God Mountain! God Mountain... has a way to become stronger!"

As the Second Elder spoke, another mouthful of blood spurted from his throat.

This frightened Qiao Yu, fearing that the Second Elder would just pass out like that.

Fortunately, the Second Elder's obsession with revenge was very strong, and he stubbornly continued to speak.

"I'll teach you how to control the S-class equipment, the Void Domain Gate. Find a way to take it away. As long as there is no Void Domain Gate, the Xing family will no longer be able to enter Kaiji Star!"

"There's an underground palace under the Divine Hall. There, we have the insights of the ten elders on advancing to the Saint stage, as well as some cultivation materials and equipment! Take them all away before the God Emperor and the others discover it!"

The Second Elder, who had lost his eyes, gnashed his teeth, clearly hating them to the extreme.

"Oh~ is there anything else?" The smile on Qiao Yu's face became even more sincere.

"That's all, friend. The future of God Mountain is up to you. No matter who you are! As long as you can avenge us! You will be the future master of God Mountain!" The Second Elder tightly grasped Qiao Yu's hand with his last strength.

"Fool, there is no master of God Mountain, I am Qiao Yu~" Qiao Yu said with a chuckle.

A look of astonishment flashed across the Second Elder's face. At this moment, he suddenly had a final burst of energy, and he sat up straight.

"You... you are Qiao Yu?!" The Second Elder's voice became energetic.

"Yes, surprise? Unexpected? Exciting?" Qiao Yu's smile became even brighter.

The Second Elder's anger surged, and he was instantly so angry that he couldn't speak. Seeing that he was about to kick the bucket, Qiao Yu quickly took out the Dark Staff.

"Don't worry, you gave me all the things of God Mountain, then I will definitely not let you down. If I have the chance, I will definitely let you take revenge with your own hands."

"Wither!"

Qiao Yu used a skill, and the Second Elder, who was already on the verge of death, was instantly drained of his vitality, and then stood up with a blank expression.

"Alas, to actually give my enemy a chance to take revenge with his own hands, I am still too kind. People who are too kind are prone to suffer losses. This is a shortcoming, and I have to change it."

Qiao Yu shook his head and then rushed towards the bottom of the temple like a husky that had been let off its leash.

Although the temple had already collapsed into a pile of ruins, this was naturally not difficult for Qiao Yu.

"Skeleton Legion, come out and work!"

Countless little skeletons crawled out, and then, under Qiao Yu's instructions, they began to dig towards the bottom of the temple like a large demolition team.

Looking at the busy little skeletons, Qiao Yu's mouth almost cracked into a smile.

The God Emperor fought with outsiders and fought internally in God Mountain, but the end result was that he benefited himself. This was simply a pie falling from the sky.

The efficiency of the little skeletons was very fast. In less than ten minutes, the entire collapsed temple was directly cleaned up by thousands of little skeletons, revealing a dark secret door.

Qiao Yu rubbed his hands, then took out the Zhulong Crescent Blade and inserted it into the crack of the door, then pried it open with force.

With a bang, the heavy secret door was directly pried open by Qiao Yu, revealing a winding staircase leading downwards.

Qiao Yu walked down the stairs. Along the way, both sides of the stone walls were inlaid with one expensive night-luminescent pearl after another.

It was so extravagant in this dark and sunless place, which showed how wealthy God Mountain was.

Qiao Yu continued to walk down, and when he reached the end of the stairs, two doors appeared in front of him. Qiao Yu first kicked open one of them and walked directly in.

"This should be the place where the insights on advancing to the Saint stage are stored that the Second Elder mentioned?" A gleam flashed in Qiao Yu's eyes.

What came into view was a study of more than one hundred square meters.

There were no other things here, only rolls and rolls of books.

Qiao Yu had heard Professor Shen Jianshu mention before that advancing to the Saint stage was different from other realms.

The Saint stage was a very obvious watershed. Others only needed enough experience points to advance, but the Saint stage seemed to require the completion of something.

At that time, Qiao Yu felt that the Saint stage was still far away from him, so he did not pay attention to listening.

Now, these things left by the ten elders of God Mountain have benefited Qiao Yu.

He did not hesitate to summon the Skeleton Legion again, and countless skeletons immediately filled the originally empty study.

What the little skeletons saw and heard would be shared by Qiao Yu, the necromancer.

Under Qiao Yu's arrangement, each little skeleton quickly flipped through a book with one in hand. He wanted to read all the books here as quickly as possible.

If there were outsiders here at this time, they would definitely be scared out of their wits by this strange and terrifying scene.

A large pile of skeletons without flesh and blood are actually reading books, which is simply incredible...
