I Will Teach You How to Hunt Gods-Chapter 488 - 111: Saint’s Remains

As for whether Old Jin and the others know about the existence of the Saint's Remains... Yun You's inclination is that the old man should know, otherwise, he wouldn't have his most powerful disciple guard Nest City No. 3.

The reason Old Jin didn't tell her about this is probably because it involves too much, and if exposed early, it could alert others...

He also likely believes that Yun You currently doesn't have the strength to join the battle for the Saint's Remains, so for safety, he concealed the matter temporarily.

It's just a pity... his well-meaning intentions ultimately proved useless.

Because the instant the Life Star mentioned the Saint's Remains, Yun You understood that she probably couldn't stay uninvolved.

"What's the exact effect of that thing? Why do the strong all want to fight for it?"

Yun You curiously probed, "Could it be that once you obtain the Saint's Remains, you can possess the Saint's power?" 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"Hard to say."

The voice from the Moon sighed and said, "The Saint's power is unpredictable; no existence can guarantee what a piece of the Saint's Remains can bring."

"It might bring power to transcend the mortal Death God, or it might grant power enough to create all things."

"It could even... bring someone back to life."

"These have all been demonstrated by the Saint's Remains unearthed in the past, so I say, it's completely unpredictable."

"But one thing is certain, and that is—just obtaining a piece of the remains qualifies you to chase after ultimate power, giving you the chance to stand at the world's pinnacle..."

To chase after ultimate power, to stand at the world's pinnacle.

These words are indeed tempting enough.

But what Yun You truly cared about was not these things but the words "bring back to life."

"Bring back to life... bring back to life..."

The little girl widened her eyes, repeating the seemingly magical words that echoed in her heart.

She thought that if the Saint's Remains could really bring someone back from the dead, then her parents could...

Yun You knew that this matter couldn't be as simple as imagined; after all, in human history, there had never been a recorded instance of resurrection.

But since the Moon mentioned that the Saint's Remains have such a capability, no matter what difficulties she might encounter along the way, she should give it a try...

She must try!

Wealth, status, and identity might be tempting to others.

But in Yun You's heart, they could never compare to the parents who gave her life.

Thus, the little girl's interest skyrocketed to the peak.

If the previous election incident was just a task for her, then from today on, this would become a goal she must accomplish.

Even if hope is slim, even if it's just a legend, she must give it a try!

"I agree with you, Moon."

Only after a while could Yun You barely calm her mind and then agreed to the Moon's terms.

Whatever the Moon wants her to do, she now has to agree.

Because she needs the power of the Star-Attracting Skill, needs the energy of this Life Star.

She is not refusing anything that might boost her strength quickly, no matter how difficult the method, she has to give it a try!

But then again...

Once the little girl calmed down, she realized another problem.

How is the Saint's Remains sealed on Earth related to the Moon, far away in the sky?

What does its freedom have to do with these long-slumbering remains?

"Alas..."

The Moon seemed to sense the confusion in Yun You's heart and sighed softly.

"You might not know..."

"That Saint was my former 'Soul Partner.'

"To put it another way—I used to be his Life Star."

"...!"

Yun You's heart skipped a beat, never expecting there to be such a connection between the Moon and the Saint.

If that's the case, doesn't it mean that she also indirectly inherited the Saint's legacy?

But thinking about it, the consciousness of the Saint himself has already dissipated, leaving only some bones in the world, no matter how powerful, the essence that might have once been on the Moon is probably long gone.

She might have coincidentally shared a Life Star with that Saint.

Thinking of this, Yun You suppressed her amazement and patiently listened to the Moon's account.

"Although the time I spent with him wasn't long, my consciousness did form some binding with him, so... as his remains were sealed and destroyed, I was also bound, tormented..."

At this point, the Moon's voice clearly held a trace of a sob, and an inexplicable grievance.

"He toiled all his life and gave everything to this world. I don't want him to continue to suffer even in death, unable to rest peacefully, nor do I want to remain bound and tortured."

"So... so I beg you! If you can someday acquire the Saint's Remains, then please, after using them, find a way to completely destroy them! Yes, destroy them! Obliterate even the soul and basic particles!"

"Only then can he truly rest, and I can regain my freedom!"

As the Moon spoke, its tone shifted from a negotiation to near pleading.

Yun You couldn't imagine how much torment it had suffered to present such a vulnerable and humble attitude.

But by empathizing a bit, she could understand.

According to the Star-Attracting Skill, there are many stars in the world, countless even, but those truly born and possessing self-awareness, able to be drawn by the Star-Attracting Skill, are unbelievably rare.

The Moon being able to develop consciousness is probably truly not an easy task; if it were a person, it might be akin to those 'successful people' who, after a lifetime of toil, can finally live a wealthy and stable life.

It should have enjoyed consciousness and lived according to its will, but due to another's suffering, it was forced to endure endless torment, undeserving even of the word 'freedom.'

This is indeed quite pitiable.

Thinking of this, Yun You sighed gently and still nodded.

"I promise you."

"If in the future, I can successfully gather all the Saint's Remains, then, after everything is settled, I'll completely destroy them."

"However... I have to add a condition, which is that I may use its power, that's my bottom line."

Actually, Yun You could deceive the Moon, first obtaining its power.

After all, the Moon doesn't seem particularly smart, first get the power, and later when Yun You becomes a High Tier Apprentice Death God, even if she breaks her word, the Moon, whose consciousness is imprisoned, would be helpless against her.

A perfect plan for getting something for nothing.

But after much deliberation, the little girl didn't do that.

She never considered herself a 'righteous and honest' character, but... no matter what, the Moon now counts as her companion.

And Yun You cannot do things like deceiving a companion or betraying trust, as it goes against her principles.

"If I did that, Dad and Mom would definitely be disappointed..."

Thinking this, Yun You finally set her condition directly.

She could destroy the Saint's Remains, but only after she utilized their power to resurrect her parents.

This is her non-negotiable bottom line; regardless of whether the Moon agrees or not, she must accomplish it.

Yun You was even prepared for the Moon to refuse.

As long as her Life Star uttered a "no," Yun You wouldn't negotiate any further.

"Sure!"

But unexpectedly, the Moon agreed without hesitation.

"I know what you want to do, Ma'am, and I completely understand your feelings."

It said softly, "Besides, I've said before, as long as you choose to destroy them eventually, that's enough. As for whether and how you use them along the way, it's entirely up to you."

"I support all your decisions."

Hearing these words, Yun You was finally relieved.

"That's good then."

She nodded, then closed her eyes.

"Since that's the case, our 'contract' should be considered complete."

"Now..."

"Show your strength, I want to see how much stronger you can make me this time..."

"As you wish, Ma'am."

The Moon's voice finally shook off that touch of sadness, and in the voice now laced with confidence, it found joy in its energy.

"Please feel the power from the stars..."
