Cheng Shi was terrified to the extre, but to seek stability, he gritted his teeth and just wouldn't loosen his mouth.
Even though he knew Boss [Death] was the most trustworthy Fear Faction mber, since even [Deceit] didn't choose to tell the other party, then he couldn't let the cat out of the bag either.
Sensing Cheng Shi's persistence, [Death] already understood the Clown's thoughts.
He withdrew the fake flas that fundantally wouldn't burn living creatures, His tone becoming disgusted again.
"You, and, your Benefactor, sll, increasingly, similar.
Similar enough, to make one, disgusted."
"Thank You for the complint." Cheng Shi did not consider it a disgrace, but rather an honor.
"..."
The Bone Throne beneath the giant skull creaked, just as if countless small skulls were gnashing their teeth. Facing [Void], He never had any solutions. Now that [Void] was gone, facing the fixed destiny of [Void], He equally had no solutions, unable to either hit or scold.
This 'incompetent, furious rage' lasted for a mont, ultimately turning into a sigh.
"Did, He, catch, so, trouble?"
"!"
The word 'catch/contract' was very interesting!
Cheng Shi, who was originally still secretly rejoicing, imdiately beca serious. He looked at the Boss, saying with a solemn face, "Milord, I actually wanted to ask You for guidance on this matter.
You have already guessed that my Benefactor going to such great lengths is to extricate Himself from so predicant. Then do You know where this predicant cos from?"
As Cheng Shi spoke, his eyes kept frequently picking up to look at the sky. [Death] naturally understood his aning, and after a long silence, gave a slight nod:
"We, roughly, guessed, so."
A bright light flashed in Cheng Shi's eyes, and he stopped beating around the bush, saying: "It's [Corruption], right?"
"..."
For a ti, the atmosphere in the Fishbone Hall suddenly beca solemn. A formless power of [Death] instantly transford into high walls, wrapping the entire hall. Then miserably green bone fires directly ignited the void, shielding all external probing.
Under such caution, the giant skull finally responded:
"We, also, think this.
Since, [Deceit], went deep into, the Sea of Desire, He, stopped, as before, constantly communicating, with, Us.
His plan, is no longer, revealed to the outside. Even [Silence], does not know, the real situation.
Perhaps, only, [Ti], understands the inside story, but [Ti], also refused, to respond, to this.
At that ti, We, knew, [Deceit], probably, had, a problem.
And the crux, of the matter, is precisely, in the Sea of Desire!"
"!"
Cheng Shi wasn't surprised. Although this was his first ti accurately knowing that [Deceit] entered the Sea of Desire, the Jokers had long had conjectures about this previously.
"Milord, when did [Deceit] go to the Sea of Desire?"
The giant skull recalled:
"After, the Gods, Convention Assembly, regarding, the Divine Throne, of [Oblivion], He, took away, Sin of Desirelessness, and entered, the Sea of Desire, together, with the other party.
We, were worried about, His safety, therefore, guarded, by the side of the Sea of Desire, and personally saw, Him, return, in silence."
"!!!"
It matched up!
When Poison encountered Drasilco, it was indeed the ti when [Deceit] entered the Sea of Desire! Previously it was all conjectures, and now it was finally confird.
Just as the Jokers guessed, the [Corruption] in the Sea of Desire definitely 'polluted' [Deceit] using so thod. This kind of pollution was definitely not a tugging of desires, because whether the one hidden in the Sea of Desire was truly [Corruption] or not remained to be discussed.
Cheng Shi had many doubts in his heart. He didn't know if he should ask, but having talked up to here, not asking would be truly uncomfortable in his heart. So, taking advantage of [Death] personally shielding everything, he boldly asked a few more questions.
"Milord, is [Corruption] truly [Corruption]?"
"?"
Upon first hearing this, [Death] clearly didn't process it, but He quickly realized what Cheng Shi was saying. His entire skull violently shuddered, and He buzzed in an extrely solemn tone:
"We, understand, your, aning.
Regarding this, We, have not, been without, exotic thoughts.
But, since ancient tis, the gods, have always, kept a respectful distance, from [Corruption]. No one knows, what, secret, is exactly hidden, within, the Sea of Desire.
All, the gods, that entered, the Sea of Desire, have developed, problems.
[Order], directly, split, inside, the Sea of Desire;
[War], completely changed, His temperant, starting, to endure silently, and not speak;
[Deceit], no longer, communicates, His plans, with, anyone...
Looking, at it this way, a pollution, that can make, gods, completely change, their normal state... the matter, you, are thinking of, is not necessarily, impossible."
Receiving affirmation, Cheng Shi's expression tightened, and he asked again:
"Then do You feel that the one in the Sea of Desire could possibly be... [Origin]!"
"!!??"
"Boom—"
Green flas combusted explosively, shrouding everything, and Cheng Shi's field of vision directly turned blindingly white.
The giant skull took a long ti to recover before appearing from the endless flas again. Scooping up the scorched-dry Cheng Shi, He said in a deep voice:
"Absolutely, impossible!
If, it truly was, [Him], the gods', ending, would not be, being twisted, but, falling, and death!
You have seen, [His], power. That is no, joke, it is, a lethal, poison."
Cheng Shi of course had seen it, but he shook his head and said:
"Milord, You misunderstood my aning.
I am not saying that a complete [Origin] is hidden in the Sea of Desire. Is it possible that... an 'injured' or 'in poor condition' [Origin] is hidden there?
That Divine Throne [He] made [Void] piece together... is it the key to [Him] recovering His power?"
"?"
[Death] blanked. "What Divine Throne?"
"..."
Fine, the Jokers were already discussing the significance of the Divine Throne, yet Boss [Death] didn't even know what the fixed destiny of [Void] was yet.
[Deceit] kept it hidden completely dead.
Cheng Shi was helpless and could only first speak the matter of the Divine Throne out. Afterward, he saw that giant skull blank out straightly upon the Bone Throne, lowering Its head to gaze at the [Death] Divine Throne beneath Itself, murmuring:
"So, what, [He], seeks, is, a, Divine Throne..."
But imdiately following this, the giant skull looked at Cheng Shi and said in a deep voice:
"We, know your, mind, is extrely like, your Benefactor.
But, the Sea of Desire, is not, a place anyone, can go!
Especially, you!
Absolutely do not, have, any, delusions, you shouldn't have!
Even if, [He], really is, weak, and hiding, there, it is not sothing, you, can fight against."
"..."
Saw through.
The corners of Cheng Shi's mouth twitched slightly. Awkwardly moving his line of sight away, he muttered softly, "I didn't think about it. Even gods have stumbled in there; how would a mortal like
dare to go.
But then again, Milord, what if only mortals can remain unaffected by this kind of pollution?"
"Still daring, to have delusions!"
[Death] got angry. Endless green flas wrapped Cheng Shi once again. This ti it wasn't a bluff; the blazing bone fires fired Cheng Shi anew into a shiny little skull.
"..."
Scared, scared. Won't think about it anymore, won't think about it anymore.
Cheng Shi hopped about on the white bone stairs begging for rcy, but in his heart he was thinking about how exactly he could uncover the secrets within the Sea of Desire.
He himself definitely couldn't go in, and the deities standing on his side also couldn't take the risk. But excluding Them, there weren't many deities left within this Universe who could go in to investigate.
[Birth]?
They were opponents. Having [Birth], who wholeheartedly wanted to pop out babies, go swim a couple of laps in the Sea of Desire—that image was simply sothing he didn't even dare to imagine. Let alone telling Him to go, even just opening his mouth to ask a sentence, he was afraid he would probably be whipped to death by a [Divine Pillar].
But excluding [Birth], the only one left who could still go in seed to be just [Folly].
[Folly] was not a deity easy to fool. Would He go in?
Or had the Universe-topping-wise [Folly] already long been to the Sea of Desire?
?
Wait!
Cheng Shi blinked, a thought flashing through his mind.
Could it be that [Folly]'s authority...?
