Chapter 1241

Gods' Corpse Field

If witnessing 【War】 being erased in groups was the most terrifying scene Hong Lin had ever experienced, then everything before her now undoubtedly challenged this druid's bottom line of fear.

One must know that viewing from afar and viewing up close are two completely different feelings. When seeing countless gods disintegrating here for no reason, that kind of fear of the universe's end almost crushed Hong Lin's nerves.

She became somewhat numb, even thinking she was having visual hallucinations.

Cheng Shi was the same.

When he realized what was in front of him, his instinctive reaction was to snap his fingers and leave here quickly!

But this time, his body's reaction to fear was faster than his brain; his convulsing hands couldn't stop trembling, and he didn't even have the strength to snap his fingers.

Qin Xin, with the 【War】 authority added to his body, was the one who stood the straightest, but that was as far as it went.

Among these three, he was the only one who hadn't witnessed the fall of 【War】 in the real universe, and the scene before him completely made up for his "regret."

Although he had never had such a regret.

This feeling was a breakdown, just like a person who had just obtained extraordinary power that didn't belong to mortals and was preparing to show off their skills and achieve something, only to find that the life that once possessed this power had long since fallen in an unknown corner.

And not just one, but a group!

I saw that in this starry sky, devoid of starlight and resembling a corpse pit:

Tentacles withered like dead vines everywhere, peerless green crowns cut off from vitality, huge skulls stacked into chairs—【Life】 no longer continues;

Flowing light scales rusted and dim, starlight knowledge codes torn and messy, crimson flames extinguished with only blood rain remaining—【Civilization】 is difficult to sustain;

And those rotten wood bodies all shattered, collapsing pupils stiff, white miasma eyes rolling like sand, puppets falling together and breaking their spears... 【Sinking】, 【Chaos】, also unavoidable.

Memories shattered and fragmented, time coiled and twisted, starlight points no longer had color, spirals disintegrated and stopped...

Those gods who were once high and mighty had now become the least valuable things in this space. Their divine power dissolved, corpses were everywhere, and before dying, they didn't even let out a cry, just quietly welcoming their own end.

The scattered light of authority passed through the bodies of the three. Cheng Shi endured the fear and reached out a trembling hand, feeling these ownerless authorities pass through his palms and continue to fall downward, feeling somewhat dazed for a moment.

This was authority, the most noble thing in the universe, the proof for the true gods' legitimacy given by that Creator, but now it was like an illusory and hazy rain of flowing light, just drifting and scattering, with no one caring.

When the initial fear faded as time stretched and the shock that struck the soul slowly dissipated due to adaptation, the three finally came to their senses. They looked at each other, unable to even see each other's faces clearly, only seeing the helpless shock and twisted fear in each other's eyes.

"This is..."

Hong Lin spoke first, but the next second she covered her mouth in even greater terror.

Even the death of gods was silent; how could a mortal dare to speak loudly here!

Fortunately, this starry sky remained silent. No one—no, it should be said no god—noticed their existence, and no god would notice their existence.

They were all dead.

Cheng Shi's vision slowly focused. He took out the 【Filth-Corruption】 container again to absorb the fear of the three, and seeing that there seemed to be no danger here, he began to observe carefully.

Actually, after setting aside the fear, everything here became very intuitive.

The gods falling like rain did not die in this starry sky; they were already dead before coming to this starry sky.

This was more like a corpse field used to bury gods—no, it should be called a mass grave, burying the gods of various worlds.

Looking at the corpse rain constantly disintegrating here, Cheng Shi even wondered if the destination of all gods who died in the Creator's experiments was here?

Otherwise, how to explain this countless, massive quantity?

Cheng Shi frowned, looking at the eyes of chaotic white miasma falling one after another in the distance, not even realizing himself that he unconsciously said:

"Is this the answer to your foolish acts, 【Dementia】?"

"..."

The other two looked at Cheng Shi gloomily. Even at a moment when there was a container absorbing emotions, a strange emotion surged in their hearts.

However, they didn't pay attention to Cheng Shi. Opportunities were rare, and no one knew how this accidental "space-time travel" happened, but since such a place had been discovered, one naturally had to take a peek at the bottom of it.

Searching for the 【Silence】 corpse was also for information, and there was clearly more information here, so the only three living lives in this starry sky began their search in the gods' corpse field.

This search really led Cheng Shi to discover some incredible things.

In this vast sea of corpses, the remains of any god could be found, but two were missing.

One was 【Filth-Corruption】, and one was 【Fate】!

Even 【Deception】 could be seen under this starry sky, with those broken and tightly closed starry eyes.

To be honest, when Cheng Shi first saw the "corpse" of the Joy God, the fear and shock in his heart were already so great that even the container couldn't absorb it all.

The remains of 【Deception】 were not as concrete as other gods. Just like the chaotic memory field produced by the death of 【Memory】 and the twisted time left by the death of 【Time】, the dead 【Deception】 was like a painting of eternal fading stars hanging on the horizon.

Those stars were all dim, and one could only see that they once gathered into a spiral on the broken outline.

They froze and fell, like the starry sky collapsing in pieces. This scene was more beautiful than the fall of all gods, but it was hard for people to appreciate it with a smile.

Even though He once represented joy and smiles.

However, Cheng Shi, whose emotions had been absorbed, did not indulge too much in terror. He kept searching in the corpse field but never found the corpses of 【Filth-Corruption】 and 【Fate】.

He informed the other two of this discovery, receiving the Big Cat's shock and Qin Xin's confusion.

Qin Xin frowned and asked: "【Deception】 is exactly the same as 【Fate】; how can you be sure that those stars falling in pieces are 【Deception】, and not 【Fate】?"

"Authority." Cheng Shi said with a serious face, "I felt the authority falling upon it. Although this authority is useless to me, every time this authority passes by my side, I can resonate with the 'laughter' within it.

He is clearly already dead, yet He is still laughing...

I don't think 【Fate】 would be like this, so I think those falling faded stars are all 【Deception】."

Qin Xin nodded, clearly accepting this statement.

"【Fate】 at least has traces to follow; not finding it means not finding it.

Then 【Filth-Corruption】... what is going on?

I didn't observe a single trace of the imagery of the sea of desire, nor did I find any place that could trigger the waves of desire in my heart. Cheng Shi, is it possible that the thing in your hand affected our observation of desire?

To be more rigorous, why don't we take that thing away and try again?"

A few words awakened Cheng Shi. He quickly put away the 【Filth-Corruption】 container, letting the mixed emotions surge back, and searched again while enduring the terror in his heart.

However, this time, the three still had no discoveries.

【Filth-Corruption】 had no traces here.

Facing such a fact, a bold guess suddenly rose in Hong Lin's mind.

"Since we can't find the corpse of 【Filth-Corruption】 in the mass grave, does it mean He didn't die?"

As soon as these words were spoken, she denied herself.

"That's not right either; it can't be that the 【Filth-Corruption】 of every world didn't die?"

"!!!"

Hearing this, Cheng Shi's eyes widened suddenly.

It must be said that what Hong Lin said was indeed possible.

But the problem is that the same inference also applies to 【Fate】. There is no corpse of Him here; does it mean that the fate of every world... has survived?

Doesn't that prove that 【Fate】's choice is the ultimate of the universe, and that the established path is the only path to survive!?

No, no, no!

Not right!

After 【War】 rushed upward, there were clearly so many worlds destroyed by the hands of creation, and there must be no lack of 【Fate】 among them. Why didn't even one 【Fate】 corpse appear here?

Cheng Shi thought deeply, feeling that they might have thought of one thing wrong.

This place might not be the gods' corpse field for the entire Creator's experiment, but very likely only the gods who died in the real universe were "thrown" here.

So there are many gods who came to the real universe for various purposes, but only 【Filth-Corruption】 and 【Fate】 are missing!

【Filth-Corruption】 is not hard to understand; after all, He never showed His face, and desire will naturally be transmitted.

But what about 【Fate】!

If everything thought above is correct, it means that even if He knew about the real universe, He never shifted His gaze. He kept guarding the established path wholeheartedly in that world belonging to Him, never giving up until the world was destroyed!

He is like a terrifying paranoid, with nothing in His eyes but the established path, still the established path!

Such a crazy 【Fate】, is what He insists on really the answer of the universe?

For a moment, Cheng Shi's back felt cold, and he felt inexplicably panicked.
