Chapter 1184

Embrace the new life with me

On a vast continent, dense lives were dying one after another. Clearly, this was the end of the life era, and the will of 【Death】 was spreading like crazy grass.

The picture was fragmented, the scene changed rapidly, making it difficult to grasp the key points. After several flashbacks, Cheng Shi saw that amidst this wave of death falling like grass, life finally gave birth to fear.

They were unwilling to give up their lives too early to embrace the cold will of 【Death】, so they began to try to break away from the constant "cycle" from birth to prosperity to death. This behavior clearly violated the mainstream of the era, but the fearful ones argued cleverly and tried to clear their names.

They insisted that their faith was not firm, but that there were more meaningful things to do in life. However, they didn't do anything meaningful, just tried their best to stay away from death, and then enjoyed a longer life than other lives, using this to wear down the fear in their hearts and satisfy their own desires.

At this, 【Filth and Depravity】 began to breed.

Soon this "wind of decadence" spread across the continent, and the will of 【Death】 also completely headed toward "death" before the arrival of the next era.

Desire was like water, all rivers gathered, the desires of the universe flowed into the sea, eroding one terrifying ravine after another on this continent, tearing the entire world into pieces.

Except for heart desire, nothing could fill it.

But the life cluster that only knew how to sink was destined to be unable to continue. Soon, this continent fell into stagnation, or even regression, and the world began to rot.

When desire shrouded the earth, and life lost its meaning, fear swept again. This time, a few lives were the first to awaken. They restarted the fire of the previous era, flipped through the traces of the past era, and finally found evidence of the existence of gods on the abandoned land.

They firmly believed that as long as faith was re-condensed, the gods would lead life out of the mud and get rid of the predicament.

So more and more lives began to call for the gods, but the gods had no response to this.

The lost lives didn't know what to do, they could only beg constantly, constantly longing for mercy. Gradually, the wind of begging swept the continent, although it blew out the fire of heart desire, it also brought the entire continent into another predicament.

All living things begged constantly, life competed to be miserable, every life thought they needed to be more miserable than other lives, so that they could win the gaze of the gods.

Thus, 【Decay】 gradually sang loudly.

But the decline of life and the withering of all living things did not win back the mercy of the gods. As the entire continent slowly rotted, the various wills of the predecessors were overturned and denied again.

New trends began to become popular. The pioneers believed that life's excessive occupation of the world caused the gods to send down divine punishment, and everything at present was them cleaning up the "bone-attached gangrene" for the world.

As long as this process is accelerated, annihilating all meaningless life, the gods will eventually restart the world and bring new life.

Thus, 【Annihilation】 finally sounded.

After that, the entire continent became more and more deserted, the memory pictures became more and more fragmented, the entire era, no, it should be said that the entire era returned to an eternal silence where all life was empty, completely falling into darkness.

The picture collapsed, silence invaded, and just at this moment, the familiar feeling came again!

Just like what was heard in the memory of 【Birth】 before, 【Origin】 appeared again, even if it was just a copied voice, it still made the gods surrounding and attacking respectfully welcome, not daring to act presumptuously.

At this moment, Cheng Shi finally knew what 【Annihilation】 was planning. They actually used this method to hold back the gods, so as to buy time for their "feat" of annihilating the universe!

The voice of 【Origin】 was still so "terrifying," when rising and falling, the stars resonated, when pausing, the galaxy flickered, invisible words seemed to remain in the field of vision, but when looking intently, they found they dissipated in the ears. It was not impassioned, nor magnificent, but when you heard it, you would feel that you had detached from the universe, just like 【*He】 was overlooking countless worlds.

【*He】 said:

"This is 【Filth and Depravity】, the prelude to sinking, the desire of life;

This is 【Decay】, the climax of sinking, the tragedy of all living things;

This is 【Annihilation】, the ending of sinking, the silence of the world.

What is thought is desire, so it is 【Filth and Depravity】;

What is done is suffering, so it is 【Decay】;

What is sought is not obtained, then 【Annihilation】...

The three of 【Sinking】 are all here."

As the voice fell, Cheng Shi's brain was filled with thunder, a blank space. Honglin, who heard the voice of 【Origin】 for the first time, had an out-of-control expression and stood there blankly.

The gods surrounded and didn't move, with different expressions. 【Annihilation】 suddenly seemed to realize something, stopped the action of annihilating the universe, and laughed loudly above the void:

"What is sought is not obtained, then annihilation. So that's it, so that's it. Did you hear it? This is the true annihilation. What you took away was just a throne trapped in shackles, and I am the true annihilation in the eyes of 【*He】. So 【*He】 had already pointed out the path for me. It's a pity that for so many years, I didn't find that I had taken the wrong path. But now I have turned back. If I don't annihilate myself, how can I embrace new life? I will wait for you in the new world!"

After speaking, before the gods could react, this memory of ending collapsed, and the power of 【Annihilation】 permeating the void also poured back into 【Annihilation】 themselves.

They seemed to have realized something, gave up the annihilation of the universe, and instead chose to annihilate themselves!

Yes, these powers of 【Annihilation】 were not taken back, but were an attack!

Under the shocked gaze of the gods, 【Annihilation】 smiled relievedly:

"I won, this time I am closer to 【*He】 than you!"

"Boom—"

The power of 【Annihilation】 throughout the universe exploded at one point, and those forces that caused reality to head toward destruction were all gathered in those eyes of 【Annihilation】 that no longer existed.

The disintegration of 【Existence】 came to an abrupt end, and the scene suddenly fell into silence.

Another god had fallen, and this time it was under the personal promotion of a "mortal" that they headed toward extinction.

At this very moment, Herobosi, who was shocked to the point of being speechless, thought again of the sentence Cheng Shi once said when persuading them: If you don't let go of everything, how can there be new life?

At that time, they thought this was just Cheng Shi's lie, an excuse used to persuade themselves.

But looking at it now...

Could it be that this believer of 【Deception】 really figured out the will of 【Origin】, and used this as bait to set an open conspiracy, forcing their benefactor to have to approach 【Origin】?

Otherwise, why would a True God choose self-destruction when there was still a chance of survival, or even when they hadn't been pushed to a desperate situation?

【Void】 wanted the throne, not their life!

But what if the benefactor really approached that 【*He】 more because of this, what should they do?

For a moment, Herobosi looked at Cheng Shi with some fear, seeming to see their own future path.

Cheng Shi had no time to pay attention to them. No matter how shocking 【Annihilation】's self-destruction was, it was a good thing for him. Having seen gods fall many times, his recovery speed was also very fast. He looked at 【Justice (Order)】 for the first time and sighed:

"【Annihilation】 gave up the throne, and even their life, so does this motion still have meaning?"

"Acting with justice is the meaning."

That scale constructed of flowing light was neither happy nor sad, still emitting the breath of 【Order】.

"The operation of the universe has its own reason, this is 【Order】.

I hold the 【Covenant】 rules, so I will not be affected by external factors and ignore fairness. The will of 【Filth and Depravity】 has not yet been confirmed, this motion...

Indefinitely postponed."

As the words fell, Herobosi's sky collapsed.

【Void】's goal had always come from Cheng Shi, and Cheng Shi's purpose was to solve the big trouble of 【Annihilation】.

Now that 【Annihilation】 was gone, whether the remaining Herobosi could inherit the throne...

Anyway, 【Void】 had already tried their best, and Herobosi themselves saw it. 【Justice (Order)】 wouldn't loosen their mouth, and we had no way, after all, the 【Covenant】 could not be defied.

Cheng Shi looked at Herobosi with an awkward expression, giving the other party an extremely apologetic look.

Herobosi's mind went blank for a moment. The moment their consciousness recovered, they wanted to scold someone, but after thinking about it, they held back.

No matter from which angle they considered it, they had no position to blame 【Void】 now, especially today when they had lost the protection of their benefactor.

An absurd farce came to an end even more absurdly. There were many winners, but the only one who seemed to be hurt was... Herobosi, who had lost both their benefactor and the throne.
