Chapter 1447: I Want to Go to the Sea of Desire

I want to go to the Sea of Desire.

On the other side.

When Cheng Shi bid farewell to the Great Cat, the entire Dol Guldur roared into motion.

As the sole prisoner in the prison and also the master of this place, Aflos now held not a shred of say over Dol Guldur.

Under the protection of the Young Lady of the Sun, He could only watch helplessly as the gods transformed His cage; as for what shape the transformers intended to forge this place into, no one knew, for the experiment was underway.

After transcending mortals and ascending to divinity, the Doctor's talent was finally no longer shackled by experimental equipment and venues; the Truth Instrument played its maximum role in His hands, and He was using the twisted time here to constantly seek the opportunity to evade the gaze of 【Origin】.

The Dragon King and Long Jing were also helping, and Galysha was equally sparing no effort.

The others were not idle either; some departed, some gathered, each striving for the future of the world in their own way.

Qin Xin, Chen Shu, and Nangong were the first to leave; after Cheng Shi departed, they immediately left Dol Guldur. What the Firebearers intended to do, others perhaps could not know, but An Mingyu had some guesses.

The remaining three of the Destined Ones drew closer of their own accord. The Blind Man looked at Qin Xin's departing back and said with some worry:

"Qin Xin... I fear he has other thoughts."

Li Li Wufang was stunned: "What thoughts?"

"The return of the Original Body has reignited the fire in his heart. Having cooperated with him for so long, I know deeply that he is not someone who likes to endure in silence; he remained silent because he had to endure. He bears the hopes of two Qin Xins, bears the future of the Firebearers, bears the expectation of preserving the predetermined salvation of the world, so he has endured all the way.

But when he has a retreat, no, when he has a reliance, when he has new hope, will he still endure...

He is 【War】; in the heart of this giant beast cast from blood and fire lies the savagery of war as well. In the past, he hid everything deep within, daring not to vent it, but now, I fear the time to vent has arrived."

Li Li Wufang and Tao Yi understood, but that did not mean they could guess where Qin Xin had gone. However, the two, each with their own thoughts, did not pay much attention to the Firebearers' affairs; they each had their own concerns.

Tao Yi was overcoming the grief brought by parting again and again, persuading herself to accept everything.

When Cheng Shi left the scene to bid farewell to Hong Lin, she did not even dare to follow. Of course, she did not want to lose Hong Lin, but the Universe could no longer lose 【Prosperity】; if she did not become strong, it was highly likely to cause the predetermined salvation of the world to fail, causing the world to lose its future, and more importantly, it might cause Hong Lin to leave in vain.

She could not accept such an ending, so she had to suppress this grief and become stronger.

Li Li Wufang's thoughts were also in chaos. As 【Order】, who most desired the order of the Universe, he had been worrying about one thing:

【Corruption】!

He had never forgotten how 【Order】 died; not only 【Order】, but 【War】, 【Deceit】, 【Sin of Desirelessness】... gods who stepped into the Sea of Desire had never had a good ending.

The fact that some things were not laid out on the table for discussion did not mean everyone had no guesses in their hearts.

For Li Li Wufang, the Sea of Desire was the biggest time bomb in this Universe!

At this moment when the future is approaching and the new order is about to arrive, he must defuse this bomb for the Universe; even if he cannot defuse it, he must at least know the principle of the bomb, so it cannot explode on some future day as it did in this era.

But he knew that going there would very likely mean going without returning, so he hesitated for a long time before finally confessing to the Destined Ones:

"I want to go to the Sea of Desire."

"!!??"

Tao Yi and An Mingyu were stunned. Before they could refuse, they heard Li Li Wufang say again:

"The return in 'Like a Dream' gave me inspiration; someone must do these things.

Do not rush, and do not tell the Boss about this matter yet. I am not acting on a sudden impulse, but have thought it through deeply.

I know the Universe needs 【Order】, but I am not the only 【Order】.

Mo Li and Fang Yuan have both approached the Predetermined and once possessed 【Order】 in their hearts. If I die in the Sea of Desire, at least 【Order】 will have a successor, won't it?"

No, absolutely not!

Even if this is indeed 【Order】's retreat, one Destined One has already left; the Wood Elves and the Prophet cannot accept the departure of another Destined One.

Seeing the worry on the two faces, Li Li Wufang cheerfully advised:

"I do not want to die either; I also want to follow the Boss, follow the Destined Ones, and follow everyone to witness the arrival of the future, but someone must do this thing!

The Sea of Desire is too eerie and too unstable; we cannot bring the old sores of the past into the new era.

It is settled; the two of you keep this secret for me!"

Saying this, Li Li Wufang directly vanished from the courtyard of Dol Guldur.

At the same time, on the other side, coincidentally, the Clowns were also discussing this topic.

At the former Council of Clowns, the Clowns had discussed this issue; even at that time, Long Jing had given an extremely bold guess: he guessed that 【Origin】 was very likely hidden in the Sea of Desire!

This proposition was too exaggerated, so it quickly had no follow-up, but today in Dol Guldur, in the absence of Long Jing, this topic was picked up again.

【Existence】 was helping 【Truth】 with the experiment, so a small gathering of Clowns in a corner became a heart-to-heart session between Zhang Zhang Jizu and the Zhen sisters.

The steady Old Zhang voiced his concerns; he also felt that the problems of the Sea of Desire and 【Corruption】 must be resolved in the present, not dragged to some future day, so he proposed that he go to scout the way. Under the protection of 【Death】's power, he might not die, but all this required the cover of 【Deceit】, otherwise it would be difficult to proceed.

This proposal had not even finished being spoken before it was rejected by Zhen Yi.

"If 【Death】 truly cannot die in the Sea of Desire, why, when 【Deceit】 was still present, was 【Death】 not invited to tour inside together?

Is it because 【Deceit】 did not like 【Death】?"

"..." Squinting Old Zhang was left speechless by the rebuttal.

Of course, he knew 【Death】 could not be spared, but precisely because he knew death could not be spared, he felt he was the most suitable, because he was 【Death】.

He had to be worthy of the will left by his Benefactor, worthy of the divine name he bore on his shoulders, and even more worthy of the words he had spoken:

Before he died, no god would fall.

However, in front of the Zhen sisters, Squinting Old Zhang had absolutely no say.

Zhen Xin watched the two with a smile and said in the calmest tone:

"【Death】, 【Memory】, 【Time】, and 【Deceit】 are all unable to continue; 【Truth】 is busy with the experiment and is also unfeasible, so I am the most suitable.

I will go.

Under 【Chaos】, there are still Hu Wei and Da Yi; although these two have no attachment to the world, it cannot be denied that they are still suitable candidates for succession.

Besides, being able to walk this far with everyone, and being able to see Xiao Yiyi from this perspective, I am already content..."

Zhen Xin looked at Zhen Yi perched on her shoulder, but saw Zhen Yi suddenly straighten up, suppress all smiles, and shake her head resolutely, saying:

"No! Absolutely not!"

"No way! Absolutely not!"

It wasn't just Did Zhen Yi — at some point An Mingyu had heard Seeing Zhen Xin's voice, and now she walked up shaking her head with a resolute face, saying:

"I know what you mean. The Sea of Desire does indeed need to be probed, but I don't think anyone has to risk their own body to do it.

I have already inherited 【Fate】, so I can use prophecy instead..."

"You are forbidden from prophesying!" x4

A collective PTSD outbreak among the prophets — among the Jesters and the Fated Ones present, four gazes as sharp as a hawk's shot straight at An Mingyu, "locking" her hands firmly in place.

At this point, if An Mingyu so much as pulled out a single die, not to mention Cheng Shi, everyone present would be on edge.

What if 【Origin】 really was hidden within the Sea of Desire? Who could step in to fill 【Fate】's place?

Anyone could go, but prophecy was absolutely forbidden!

An Mingyu, her 【Fate】 power with nowhere to be unleashed, could only press her lips together and sigh:

"You're one step too late. 【Order】 has already set out."

"!!!"
