Chapter 1449: Then Let the World Remember Me

Then Let the World Remember Me

Hey, guess what — there's more!

The Poison didn't come by coincidence; she had also answered the summons Dorgad had just issued.

Admittedly, 【Corruption】 has no Divine Throne, but 【Corruption】 has a Chosen One.

When the Long Wang was helping Cheng Shi gather everyone, he had no idea how Cheng Shi would arrange for this Chosen One who had no Divine Throne, but regardless of whatever arrangement was decided, at the very least he had to make sure that when the arrangement was made, there would be someone from 【Corruption】's side present, so the Long Wang sent word to the Poison as well.

He sought her opinion, and the Poison did not refuse.

Yet her attendance, like 【Corruption】's situation, was awkward to the extreme.

From start to finish, perhaps because of the Doctor's discovery, or perhaps because of Big Cat's parting, the gods did not notice her at first.

But the Poison had no opinion on this; having lost her desire, she naturally no longer cared.

Yet when she saw the gods gathered together, all searching for a future for this world, her heart gave an uncontrollable sudden leap; she very much wanted to join in, only she could never find the drive to do so.

Everyone in the world knows that desire is a terrifying thing, but no one knows that losing desire is just as terrifying.

The Poison would always get the urge to fit in, but this urge was like a rootless duckweed, hard to build any grand ambition upon, so that after Cheng Shi left and the gods each went about their business, she still stood in place, lost and at a loss.

Until she faintly heard the Fated One and the Jesters conversing, and then silently followed them to the side of the Sea of Desire.

This was her "home turf."

The Poison walked to Qin Xin's side and stood still, a smile spreading across her face, but everyone knew the smile was fake — a person who had lost desire would have no emotion; the Poison was merely playing the role of her former self.

Qin Xin could not deny the Poison's courage; he only furrowed his brow and said worriedly:

"You haven't inherited a Divine Throne, you're still in a mortal body, the Sea of Desire is so dangerous, you......"

The Poison glanced at Qin Xin, the corner of her mouth hooked up, and said:

"Would ascending to godhood be any less dangerous?

I've only ever heard of gods who died because of the Sea of Desire, but never of a mortal who died because of it — maybe in the Sea of Desire, mortals have the advantage over gods?"

"......"

One sentence left everyone speechless; indeed, they still didn't know what effect the Sea of Desire had on mortals, but the problem was that no normal person would go for a swim in the Sea of Desire for no reason.

Did Zhen Yi, hearing these words, even more so stood beside his sister and muttered in a low voice: "No matter how you listen to it, it sounds like a clown's sophistry — sure enough, he's the greatest source of pollution in this whole universe......"

Speak of Cao Cao and Cao Cao arrives.

Just as everyone was still deadlocked over who should enter the Sea of Desire, Cheng Shi returned, and arriving with him was Hong Lin.

They did not immediately part ways; Cheng Shi recalled that mission Hong Lin had mentioned in the real universe, and always felt Hong Lin's departure had been too hasty, so he gently urged her to stay.

Hong Lin of course also wanted to spend a little more time with her friends, but she politely declined Cheng Shi's approach and stood alone at the farthest spot.

Tao Yi, seeing Hong Lin had come, bit her lip and stopped in her tracks, forcibly suppressing the impulse in her heart to go over and say goodbye, gazing at her best friend from afar; Hong Lin, seeing little fox so resolute, was deeply gratified.

It was under these circumstances that Cheng Shi slowly walked up to the Poison, and like a person who had truly lost desire, said without joy or sorrow:

"This matter has nothing to do with faith, and it's not as if it must be someone specific — we may still have a better method. When the future arrives, you may yet be able to find the meaning of yourself again. Poison, you......"

Before he could finish, the Poison laughed crisply:

"I don't like the you of your current identity; I prefer the little pastor of the past.

So, little pastor, will you remember me?"

"......"

Cheng Shi looked toward the distant Sea of Desire, his lips moving slightly, just as he had always responded to the Poison's approach — with no reply.

The Poison smiled, radiantly so.

"Then let the world remember me, and naturally you will remember me too."

Saying this, she no longer fixed her gaze on Cheng Shi, but looked at everyone at the side of the Sea of Desire:

"Since the gods descended and the game began, I have always been satisfying each of your desires, and using that as my own will to probe 【Corruption】, to approach the gods.

Now, it's time to be a little tender to myself.

Considering how well we all know each other, please satisfy one desire of mine — although I lost my desire long ago, I still 'want' to find my past self again.

Let me go in in your place; it satisfies the world's need and also satisfies my own 'pursuit' — a win-win.

Besides, I may not necessarily bring back any answer for you; the Sea of Desire is boundless, I can't guarantee where I'll be swept by desire. If I don't send word for a long time, you can still keep fighting over that spot — it won't affect your spirit of dedication.

So give me a chance, let's settle it just like that, and remember to miss me."

Saying this, the Poison brushed aside her gradient-blue bangs, dashing to the extreme, and walked toward the Sea of Desire without looking back.

In the instant she turned her back, the smile on her face completely crumbled, becoming, like Cheng Shi in that moment, expressionless.

Qin Xin was stunned, and still wanted to reach out and pull her back, but the Poison nimbly dodged; immediately, Cheng Shi's voice came from behind:

"Poison!

Remember, if you discover anything in the Sea of Desire related to the Creator, and this thing is also contagious, then from the moment you discover it, do not say another word.

We will wait for you at the side of the Sea of Desire......"

There was one more sentence Cheng Shi did not speak aloud, only silently recited in his heart: We will see you off again!

Cheng Shi had already faintly guessed the secret of the Sea of Desire.

Whether mortal or god, perhaps anyone who so much as touches something in the Sea of Desire cannot escape the ending of death, but the timing and manner of this death are very particular.

Cheng Shi re-sorted through everything related to the Sea of Desire, and finally allowed him to discover some more clues.

【Order】 and 【War】 had stepped into the Sea of Desire long ago, yet They died in the current epoch — the span between them reaching as much as several epochs.

Yet 【Deceit】, from stepping in to dying, the time was so short it could be counted in days; Drasilko was even more so — He had barely emerged from the Sea of Desire before He died.

This shows that the "pollution" in the Sea of Desire has no fixed "time limit."

And the strangest point is that none of the above gods died from the "pollution" itself!

They either perished by their own hand, or died from external force — but even the external force was something They themselves sought, such as 【War】.

All these facts made Cheng Shi feel that the "pollution" itself did not seem fatal; it was more like a curse, or viewed from another angle, more like the resolve the gods made in order to "cast off the pollution"!

It wasn't strange for Cheng Shi to think this way—Delahirko's words before his fall had led the clowns to extend the secret within the Desire Sea onto 【Primordial】, and as luck would have it, among these deities 【Fraud】 belonged to the fear faction; 【Order】 said He identified with 【Fraud】, and naturally also counted as the fear faction; 【War】, though not counted as fear, the resolve with which He charged 【Primordial】 certainly wouldn't be that of an approach faction......

These three were all distancing themselves from 【Primordial】, and after being "corrupted" chose death—did that prove the secret hidden in the Desire Sea truly couldn't be separated from 【Primordial】?
