Apotheosis

Once he was out of the bone cave, Zen saw a sprawling white beach in front of him.

He bent down to grab the white sand and watched it fall in between his fingers. "This sand is also bones. Were countless bones truly crushed and gathered here?"

"Ordinary crushed bones would have already been weathered. These bones were originally this small," the Primeval Lord of Heaven answered.

Hearing this, Zen lifted the sand on his palm and looked at it more carefully. As the Primeval Lord of Heaven said, these bones were indeed whole and were just incredibly small.

For such bones to be so small that they ended up covering an entire area and be mistaken for sand was both incredible and unsettling. "Are these from the tiny creatures of the Calculation Civilization?" Zen asked.

The green figure on the Civilization Artifact shook its head. "It's not us. We're even way smaller than these bones."

Too many civilizations and creatures had existed in the chaos.

Over a thousand races had once become ruling civilizations and those underneath them, were even more numerous. Of course, there would always be creatures bigger or smaller than others.

"If you walk a bit more, you'll come upon some new discoveries," the Primeval Lord of Heaven said.

Zen decided to walk further along the beach and, to his surprise, found the bones that littered the ground progressively get larger. At first, it had been the size of a grain of sand until it became the size of a pea, then the size of a fist...

This somehow reminded him of the Immemorial Wilderness save for the fact that the bones there were randomly placed. Here on the beach, the bones were arranged in a certain orderly manner.

As he ventured forward, Zen began to see more familiar bones, specifically, human bones!

He bent down and picked up a random arm bone. "The bone beach records all creatures on the Other Shore?"

"Yes," the Primeval Lord of Heaven confirmed.

Zen turned the bone in his hand curiously. "What about the Regal Jade Civilization?" he asked.

Some civilizations had special forms and the Regal Jade Civilization was one of them since they did not have any bones.

"Look at the front left," the Regal Jade Spirit suddenly said, with a smile on his face.

The Regal Jade Spirit had also stepped into the Land of Bone Tribulation before, so he knew some things.

Zen did as he said. When he looked to the left, he saw variou

ead. "What if a certain race enters this place for the first time?"

"Before they enter, the bones of their race will have been created and placed here," the Primeval Lord of Heaven explained patiently.

There were some special powers on the Other Shore. It should also be noted that the Soul City and the Land of Bone Tribulation were constructed by the Instant Civilization and were thus naturally different from other places.

Zen raised yet another question. "These bones... they were created out of nowhere then?"

The Primeval Lord of Heaven smiled, associating Zen's question with the Truth of Three-Energy Construction. "It is indeed possible!"

Ziya discovered the Truth of Three-Energy Construction outside the chaos, which meant the Instant Civilization also came from there.

The reanimated skeletons came straight to Zen and the first skeleton that passed him by flipped a slightly larger bone. Zen watched as the bone landed on the surface of the Soul Interdicting Water and transformed itself into a boat.

"Please get on," the skeleton said in a strange voice and gestured invitingly towards the boat.

A trace of vigilance appeared on Zen's face as he asked the Primeval Lord of Heaven's opinion in his mind.

"If you want to go to the Land of Bone Tribulation, then you naturally have to board this boat," the Primeval Lord of Heaven said, assuring Zen and comforting his nerves.

With no more reservations, Zen jumped and landed in the middle of the boat.

The other skeletons quickly got to work, scouring the ground for bones to be used as paddles and also getting on the boat.
