Chapter 1450: The Secret in the Sea of Desire

The Secret in the Sea of Desire

But how could one bring this secret out?

They had all entered the Sea of Desire, yet not a single one had ever shared the specific things they saw or heard within it with anyone else!

It wasn't that they didn't remember; Delahierco's final words clearly showed he remembered everything that happened in the Sea of Desire. Nor was it that they feared death, for whether it was 【Deception】 or 【Order】, they did not speak of related matters even when they were determined to die.

This forced Cheng Shi to guess at a possibility, which was:

Restricted by rules, unable to speak!

There must be some rule restricting them from talking about all of this; this rule could be a forced block, or perhaps some other means.

Cheng Shi was the only one who hadn't figured this point out, but in the subsequent conversation after parting with Big Jiang, a remark from Big Jiang caused a flash of inspiration in his mind, and he grasped something.

Holding the power of 【Origin】 in his hand, Xiang Honglin stared at the seven-colored divine power on his hand and sighed:

"I can feel the immense power contained within this, and I can also feel that these powers are like maggots on a bone.

It fills my flesh and blood, enriches my spirit, yet it also gnaws at my will and devours my sanity.

From time to time, I fantasize about wanting to get close to 【*Him】, and even wanting to become a puppet of 【*Him】.

The power of 【Origin】 is truly terrifying; this thing must never be left in the world!"

It was this remark that made Cheng Shi suddenly think: was the thing in the Sea of Desire the same as the power of 【Origin】, a contamination that allowed people to become "puppets" of 【Origin】?

Or even, could this kind of contamination not only infect those who entered the Sea of Desire, but also spread further by using these contaminated individuals as a medium?

In this way, it could explain everything seen in the Universe, but this also led to a problem: no matter who discovered a secret in the Sea of Desire, it was impossible to pass it out!

Because it was impossible to speak!

Based on this conjecture, Cheng Shi said those words before Poison walked into the Sea of Desire.

He said that if the other party found any discoveries related to 【Origin】, and these discoveries or secrets were contagious, then he would not let Poison speak again. If Poison could really come out alive and remain silent, that would indicate Cheng Shi had guessed correctly!

The cleverness of this method lay in the fact that Poison's silence perfectly conformed to that unfathomable rule of being unable to speak, enough to reveal a corner of the Sea of Desire's secret to the world.

Of course, what the true secret specifically was might never be known by life outside the Sea of Desire, but as the saying goes, knowing the principle of how a time bomb explodes is enough—enough for the Universe to avoid many crises.

This method was also an inspiration Cheng Shi found from the will of 【Silence】.

【Silence】 was never without expression; it was just that His expression was entirely contained in silence.

Wait!

Thinking of this, Cheng Shi was suddenly stunned, because he remembered that huge "corpse" of the boundary-leaking silent puppet in the real universe!

Could it be that the 【Silence】 drifting everywhere was also expressing this meaning?

Getting close means being contaminated!?

Cheng Shi's pupils shrank, and he looked at the distance in astonishment, only to see that the surging tides of the Sea of Desire had already submerged Poison's figure, rolling that mortal body into the seabed of desire.

Deep in the Sea of Desire.

It was very strange. Looking at the Sea of Desire from the Land of Sinking, desire surged like a tide, terrifying to the extreme. Yet only when one was in the Sea of Desire did one discover that beneath the roaring sea level, desire was so orderly.

And the higher one went, the more viscous the seawater became; the lower one went, the clearer it became. Poison, who had walked all the way here, was extremely puzzled, even thinking: when 【Order】 set foot here, had He sighed that this place was more like a land of faith for 【Order】?

She walked forward along the guidance; these guides were nothing else but various corpses floating in the Sea of Desire!

That's right, corpses!

Since the Sea of Desire was here, then ever since life was born, there would be a constant stream of life discovering this place and "inadvertently breaking in."

From the ferocious expressions on these corpses, it could be seen that most of them died from different desires. Perhaps because there was no more desire in her heart, Poison was not resonated with by the flowing desire.

She felt that she was not exploring some turbulent current full of death crises, but diving deep beneath a calm sea surface. As she sank all the way down, the corpses in front of her became fewer and fewer, and the flowing desire also became more and more "transparent."

Of course, this journey was not completely calm. Every once in a while, a tide of desire would roll up from the seabed, stirring up the desire on the way and pushing it to the higher sea surface.

Fortunately, Poison's "swimming ability" was decent; she was not carried away by desire. Gritting her teeth, she endured several waves of tidal surges and dived deeper and deeper.

Until some time later, she saw the seabed of the Sea of Desire and saw a piece of crimson land in the sea. She fell down, and there she found the last corpse.

She recognized that corpse.

But Poison, who had no desire, did not generate much emotion because she found an acquaintance. She silently walked to the front, looked at this former peer who had smiled and committed suicide here, looked at this fire-spreading elite who had smiled and let go, nodded in greeting without joy or sorrow, and then continued forward.

After walking for another period of time, Poison didn't know where she had walked to. She only felt that everything around her was unchanging. The transparent desire disappeared like seawater; she was like walking on a void with a piece of blood-colored land, front and back, left and right, empty and hollow, with no reference.

No wonder she had never heard of anyone finding 【Filth】. The Sea of Desire was so big, how could one find the so-called secret?

She didn't know, she just kept walking.

Cheng Shi was silent for a moment, took out the lucky tree branch gifted by 【Prosperity】, and inserted it silently into the Land of Sinking of the new Hope Continent.

Poison flexibly maintained her body balance and walked forward silently.

She had been walking for a long, long time, so long that she was a bit tired, so she sat down anywhere on the seabed to take a short rest.

However, as luck would have it, the abnormality on the seabed came again. The blood-colored ground trembled violently, and a huge upward current rose from the ground. Dust and mud stirred, and Poison, caught off guard, was finally carried away by the vortex of desire and taken away from the seabed. She was thrown very far. Fortunately, her reaction was not slow, and not long after, she gritted her teeth and rushed out of the rising vortex, swimming toward the seabed again.

But just at this moment, Poison suddenly froze.

Immediately after, even she, who had no desire and no emotion, trembled all over, and a huge fear rose in her heart!

"!!!!!"

Because looking down from her current perspective, the seabed land, paved with blood-colored dust and mud and slightly turbid, was so like...

A huge, crimson eye staring at her!

"Boom—"

Poison's consciousness exploded into a blank space in an instant. The next moment, she fell toward the seabed.

When she woke up again, she looked at the blood-colored land close at hand and fled upward like crazy. She paddled hard, feeling the desire that did not belong to this world passing by her side. She wished she had two more hands so she could get away from the seabed faster.

She didn't know where this fear came from; she only knew she had to run, run quickly, and stay away from here!

Poison paddled even harder, but as she paddled, she suddenly paused and looked at her arm.

She saw that on her arm, which had been snow-white, countless blood-red patterns had spread at some unknown time. Those patterns, like blood vessels, were drawn on the skin into one eye after another. Those eyes blinked in unison, looking at her at the same moment.

"......"

This was a terrifying confrontation.

Since that glance, Poison knew she had been "contaminated."

She had become the eyes of 【Origin】.

That's right, 【Origin】!

Heh, who could have thought that the experiment host sitting high in the real universe was not just overlooking the entire experiment through the real universe, but had also hidden the eyes of 【*Him】 at the bottom of the Sea of Desire......

【*He】 was so concerned about 【*His】 experiment that 【*He】 had to observe the evolution of every world at close range in this way.

It was also at this moment that Poison finally knew why those gods insisted on seeking death.

Because 【Origin】 cannot be looked at directly, and even less can it be spoken of!

The rule that forcibly occupied her consciousness told her that once she told other living beings about this matter, all that awaited those living beings was contamination!

Until all the living beings in this petri dish became the eyes of 【*Him】, and then the experiment failed, and the world collapsed.

Poison fell silent.

She swam toward the sea surface with all her might again; she wanted to use her silence to tell the secret here to everyone. ===== CHAPTER 1451 =====
