I Will Teach You How to Hunt Gods-Chapter 487 - 111: Saint’s Remains

"Freedom..."

Upon hearing this somewhat peculiar word, Yun You was slightly taken aback.

The Moon... wants... freedom?

Why does this sound so strange?

A planet, a massive celestial body floating in space, its sheer size is its strength.

Yun You couldn't think of anything that could bind it, except... the gravity from Earth.

"Could it be that the Moon doesn't want to be Earth's satellite anymore? It wants freedom?"

The little girl suddenly thought of this possibility, but then it felt a bit unreliable.

If the Moon's wish is indeed this, Yun You might not be able to fulfill it.

To push the Moon away from Earth's gravitational orbit, although it sounds somewhat feasible... after all, it's said that high-tier Apprentice Death Gods can move mountains and fill seas, pushing a satellite might indeed be possible.

But doing so could cause greater harm to the two planets themselves.

Besides, Yun You herself still didn't know if she could reach that level.

She didn't dare to recklessly promise such a thing.

"No... no..."

The Moon seemed to hear Yun You's thoughts and quickly explained, "No, I don't want you to take me away from Earth... but things are way more complicated than that..."

"Um, have you heard of the 'Saint's Remains'?"

Yun You was momentarily stunned, then honestly shook her head.

Another term she had never heard of, but judging by the name, it must be something impressive... otherwise, how could it be called "Saint"?

"The so-called Saint's Remains, is actually a bone containing the power of a mighty being."

The voice from the Moon explained, "Once... there was a world-shattering mighty one, whose talents could connect with the divine, capable of shaking heaven and earth."

"However, this powerful being was a true Saint."

"In his eyes, although everything in the world bore original sin, it was worth... and deserved to be saved."

"He poured all his energy into saving all beings, persuading evildoers to lay down their butcher's knives, ensuring that those in hardship could get food and live in warm houses."

"In his era, everyone respected him, loved him, and called him the 'Saint.'"

"But sadly, the ways of the world are unpredictable. Just as he was respected, some envied and hated him..."

"In the end, he was killed by those conspirators, and because of the legend that as long as his remains didn't decay, he could rise again, those murderers cruelly separated his remains and scattered and sealed them across the world."

"In later times, time also proved that those immortal, undying, incorruptible bits of his remains indeed held immense power, even today, it's to an unbelievable extent."

"And now, I can also feel that a piece of the Saint's Remains is close to breaking the seal, becoming a 'Masterless Divine Remains' without restraint."

"Its location is what you humans call... Nest City No. 3!"

Yun You's heart trembled.

This sounds... truly extraordinary.

Immortal, undying, incorruptible—if these words can be combined, whatever they describe is never weak.

If the Saint's Remains really are in Nest City No. 3, given the Apprentice Death Gods' pathological pursuit of power, they'd certainly overturn the entire city several times.

"Wait... maybe those high-tier Apprentice Death Gods already know about this news!"

Yun You slightly furrowed her brows, recalling the scenes she saw when she was with her senior brother Jiang Wuji.

At that time, the Tier Four Death God Galland, representing the 'Collection' Clan, seemed to mention something about the 'election.'

Based on his behavior, the entire Collection Clan, and even the other families allied with them, seemed very concerned about this Lower City election.

Initially, Yun You found this quite normal.

After all, a district mayor, no matter what, can control the fate of millions... even hundreds of millions of people. Lower City may be poor, but with the population advantage, it's not impossible to make money with proper development.

But thinking carefully, for a clan like the Collection Clan, which has high-tier Apprentice Death Gods, there's no need to go to such lengths to compete for this bit of profit!

The Collection Clan has business spreading across rivers and seas; they're not lacking principal council members in other Nest Cities. If they were truly interested in a small Lower City mayor, they could simply send a junior to participate in the election. Win or lose, it would just be a training experience, completely inconsequential.

Yet now, the massive Collection Clan is betting everything on this election, not only sending out the family's trump cards—two Tier Four Apprentice Death Gods—but also teaming up with other families, determined to oppose Jiang Wuji.

This doesn't match the cautious nature of a big asset-type family.

Unless...

Unless the rewards from winning this election can far outweigh the risks and costs, which could drive the Collection Clan to take such risks.

But how can a small mayoral position bring such enormous benefits?

Thinking it over, probably only the "Saint's Remains" is possible.

Perhaps these families already know of the Saint's Remains' existence, and their intelligence shows that only by becoming the Lower District Mayor could they better search for the remains' location.

If that's the case, it could explain why they all care so much about the mayor's position.

Yun You's little mind was always quick, and in no time, she figured out what was going on.
