Chapter 1322: Speculations regarding [Filth and Corruption]
Speculations regarding 【Filth and Corruption】
It must be said, a clown is a clown.
After the scammers overcame their initial shock, they suddenly realized this was one of the few—no, it should be said, the only—opportunity to get this "close" to Them.
And so, very quickly, one by one, they set aside their inner trepidation and fear, gathering around the fragments of the Throne to examine them.
These fragments appeared to have form but were actually formless. When you touched them, you could feel their existence, yet you could neither grasp them firmly nor hold them steady. They were like things in a state of flux between existence and non-existence, very difficult to describe with mortal tactile senses.
Everyone's observation was meticulous, everyone's thinking was exceptionally active. Before long, their eagerness went beyond just "looking"; they tentatively reached out, trying to piece the Throne back together along the fractured lines.
To be honest, before actually assembling it into a Throne, the clowns couldn't imagine these things could truly form one; the shapes of the fragments were too bizarre.
And when that Throne—"two triangles pressing against each other, the inverted triangle as the back, the upright triangle as the base"—was restored before everyone's eyes, looking at this magnificent creation they had never seen before, the clowns collectively lost their voices.
The Throne clearly looked to be only the size of one person, but once restored, it seemed to expand infinitely, becoming like a giant's seat, and it flickered between illusory and solid, as if it were truly embedded between existence and non-existence.
Of course, this was just an illusion caused by the aura of the Throne; it remained only that large and did not burst this space apart.
It was just that this Throne was not complete; two pieces were missing, leaving two holes in the back and the base of the Throne respectively.
Looking at these two gaps, the clowns frowned one after another.
Long Jing even pressed his face against it, looking through the gap at Cheng Shi in front, and said with a puzzled face:
"Why are two pieces still missing? Did they get lost?"
Cheng Shi shook his head: "No, they were empty to begin with, or rather, in the graveyard where I found this Throne, there were no corpses of the gods to whom those two puzzle pieces belonged."
He briefly described what he had seen in the graveyard of the gods, scaring the clowns half to death once again.
"You mean, the corpses of the gods there were piled up like trash?"
"That's right, probably even worse than trash."
"......"
This was already completely beyond mortal imagination. The clowns looked at each other, and in the shock that came again and again, they almost forgot how to express shock.
Li Jingming examined it for a long time, his gaze solemn, and said earnestly:
"What's missing seems to be 【Filth and Corruption】 and 【Fate】. I feel that this dim star can resonate with the power of 【Deception】, which shows that the corpses here belong to 【Deception】, not 【Fate】.
It seems that a 【Deception】 died in the real universe."
Seeing Zhen Xin was not surprised by this statement, but there was no longer the usual smile on her face.
"After the God of Fun learns of the real universe, He will definitely go to investigate, but that is, after all, a place directly watched by the Creator. If He makes a mistake, no one can save Him... I just don't know how many of Him died there......"
Cheng Shi also sighed, deliberately skipping this uncomfortable topic, "Indeed, 【Filth and Corruption】 and 【Fate】 are missing."
"Why?" Long Jing was even more puzzled.
"I also want to know why. 【Fate】 is obsessed with the established, and in order to build that Throne, He might not easily leave His original world. This is easy to understand.
But 【Filth and Corruption】......
Up to now, has anyone seen 【Filth and Corruption】?"
The clowns looked at each other and shook their heads one after another. Indeed, they had never heard of anyone having an audience with 【Filth and Corruption】.
At this moment, Cheng Shi snapped his fingers and said:
"Coincidentally, I recently learned that someone might have seen Him!"
"Who!?"
"【Sin of No Desire】, Delaxierke!"
Li Jingming was shocked and said incredulously: "He went to the Sea of Desire?"
"That's right, the Black Dragon King went to the Sea of Desire." Cheng Shi said solemnly, sharing the secret told to him by the poison with the clowns, "I guess He probably saw His benefactor, but that 【Filth and Corruption】 might be completely different from the benefactor He imagined, so much so that after Delaxierke left the Sea of Desire, He seemed like a different person, not only taking away the poison's desire and turning her into a 'person without desire', but also destroying Himself by the side of the Sea of Desire in front of her.
He died, and the words He left before dying were:
He is not worth an audience, and there is no 【Filth and Corruption】 in this world.
I thought I was me, but I was never me......"
Everyone savored this contradictory sentence, and their inner confusion grew even greater.
Seeing Zhen Xin stood with her arms crossed, tapping her arm with her fingers, and said while thinking:
"There is no 【Filth and Corruption】 in this world?
【Filth and Corruption】 might truly not exist, but there must be something on His Throne, otherwise how could He respond to faith and the 【Convention】?"
Make...... a response!?
Cheng Shi's brain roared, and he suddenly thought of something, his pupils shrank and he said: "【Filth and Corruption】 never refuses. Does this mean He never made a response at all!?"
That's right! The faith of 【Filth and Corruption】 is to never refuse. Since He never refused, who can prove the existence of 【Filth and Corruption】?
And up to now, even the gods cannot find where He is. Doesn't this further prove that 【Filth and Corruption】 very likely does not exist?
These words startled everyone. Seeing Zhen Xin was stunned for a moment, and then a sharp light flashed in her eyes:
"He has a problem!
I'm not talking about 【Filth and Corruption】, but the 'He' who 'usurped' the Throne of 【Filth and Corruption】.
This He must exist, otherwise, with only an empty Throne left, the 【Sin of No Desire】 would never have said 'He is not worth an audience'.
This 'thief' used the appearance of 【Filth and Corruption】 never refusing to cover up the fact that He occupied His position, until He was discovered by the 【Sin of No Desire】......
But this is not right either. After being discovered, why did the 【Sin of No Desire】 destroy Himself?
Shouldn't He expose the other party's evil deeds and seek 'justice' for His benefactor?"
"Because He discovered that all of this is meaningless. Praise the Envoy Envoy Yu Xi."
The Doctor finally spoke again. Such a shocking discussion could not be without the participation of a 【Truth】 scholar. The Doctor pondered for a long time and gave his inference seriously:
"I thought I was me, but I was never me......
Delaxierke's words undoubtedly mean that His status as a 【Filth and Corruption】 messenger is meaningless. Since it is meaningless, how could He help 【Filth and Corruption】 seek justice?
He took away the poison's desire, which was telling the poison to stay away from 【Filth and Corruption】. Therefore, in His view, the thing hidden in the Sea of Desire should be very bizarre, and He didn't want more poor people to approach that place.
And His death is both a relief and a warning.
Praise the Envoy Envoy Yu Xi."
A warning......
What kind of mysterious existence could make a god use death as a warning, yet refuse to say more?
Cheng Shi frowned, unable to understand.
The clowns were also confused, with no answer.
And at this moment, Long Jing, who had been playing with the Throne, suddenly paused, touching the back of the Throne like he was having a seizure, and said:
"You guys, could it be 【Origin】?"
"?????"
The atmosphere at the scene instantly solidified!
Everyone stared at Long Jing in fear, making Long Jing feel a bit at a loss. He swallowed his saliva and said somewhat nervously:
"I'm just guessing, just guessing.
Didn't 【Origin】 ask 【Fate】 to build a Throne for Him?
What if *He* really lost the Throne and hid it in the Sea of Desire?
If it were another god, the 【Sin of No Desire】 wouldn't seem to need to say these things. He is a subordinate god, not a mortal. It's impossible that He hasn't seen any true god. So which true god could usurp the 【Filth and Corruption】 Throne and make Him react so out of character?
Even the God of Fun doesn't make sense.
So thinking about it, it seems only 【Origin】...... right?"
"!!!!!"
As soon as the words fell, the brains of the clowns collectively exploded. ===== CHAPTER 1323 =====
