Chapter 728

Not the Sea of Desire, it's the Sea of Blood! It's Him!

Cheng Shi's desire to survive erupted instantly.

He held his breath and closed his eyes for the first time, even covered his ears, and threw out the lamp and dice the moment he raised his hand, switched his faith toward the reflection in the "sea," and activated the never-lost gambling tools.

This set of actions was extremely skilled. Even a hunter known for agility would probably praise Cheng Shi as "beautiful" after seeing this scene.

But sometimes, beautiful actions are useless, especially in this sea of desire, where all 【Fate】's protection seems to have failed.

Cheng Shi couldn't exchange positions with the dice, and the viscous pulling force all around was constantly pulling him, seemingly wanting to pull this Fate Weaver who had strayed into it into the abyss of desire. Helpless, the Fate Weaver had to switch back to the Clown, wanting to gain a moment of freedom by blending into the smoke, but this also failed.

Cheng Shi's face was pale. He only felt countless fears, confusion, panic, and despair surging in his heart, instinctively slapping the surrounding "water," trying his best to "swim" in a certain direction.

He didn't know where he was "swimming," he only knew he didn't want to die here.

Perhaps because Cheng Shi's will to survive was too strong, or perhaps 【Fate】's protection finally dried up the seawater of desire and found him again. In short, while swimming, he suddenly felt the change in the surrounding environment.

The temperature rose slightly, the resistance around him became smaller and smaller, and the fear in his heart was also gradually fading. Seems like he escaped?

Cheng Shi's spirit was shaken. He kicked his legs hard and rushed forward. When he felt the touch of the "seawater" around him change from viscous to slippery, he finally realized that he had indeed left the "sea area" just now.

But!

The place where he was currently didn't seem to be a good place either.

Because Cheng Shi was too familiar with this warm, slippery touch. This would never be a hot spring or mountain mud, but only...

Blood!

A sea that almost gathered into an ocean of blood!

Cheng Shi tightened all over, instinctively swimming toward the direction of buoyancy. The moment he rushed out of the water, he wiped his face dry, opened his eyes suddenly, and then, he saw himself floating in the center of a sea of blood, and surrounding this sea of blood were countless towering mounds like tumors and corpses as far as the eye could see!

Battlefield!

This was undoubtedly a battlefield!

Cheng Shi was shocked. His pupils shrank, and for a moment he almost fell back into the water surface because his movements froze.

This shouldn't have been a sea. This was just a depression in the hilly terrain, but because there were too many dead lives, too many to estimate, the trickling streams slowly accumulated, actually drowning the ground into the bottom of a sea of blood.

"... Where is this?"

Actually, this was a very stupid question. When Cheng Shi realized that the "seawater" beside him had turned into blood, he had basically already determined who he was seeing.

He just didn't expect that the so-called being thrown into the battlefield he heard from friends was thrown in this way.

Thrown up from the bottom of the sea?

And that experience of being wrapped in viscous seawater just now would definitely not be 【War】's authority. That might be His handiwork, but that power definitely didn't belong to 【War】.

Unless... He stole 【Filth】's authority!

Cheng Shi's face became solemn. He didn't know if 【War】 was watching him from some corner, but at this moment, before facing this god of 【Civilization】 directly, he had to find a safe place to stay, so as not to encounter anything unclean in this sea of blood again.

Cheng Shi moved. He swam toward the nearest land, soon got out of the sea of blood and went ashore. He looked at the huge beast remains and humanoid corpses comparable to giants he didn't recognize around him, and frowned tightly.

Where exactly is this?

This doesn't look like the Continent of Hope. Regardless of species or terrain, this place looks like a brand new world.

Could this be His hall?

He treats the battlefield as His "reception room"?

So where is He, why doesn't He show up, does He like to observe the summoned players silently?

But this shouldn't be something 【Silence】 would do, right?

No, you are a 【War】... how come even summoning players is so roundabout?

Cheng Shi was numb. He had been standing here for a while, but apart from the fishy wind and the hot air, he felt nothing.

Just like what those Chosen Ones said before, 【War】 threw people on the battlefield of blood flowing like a river, but never showed up again.

As time passed, Cheng Shi was a bit helpless. He was afraid that some unpredictable change would appear on this battlefield and involve him, and afraid that using other means to escape would make the behind-the-scenes observer unhappy, so he could only sit dryly in place like an unemployed clown, waiting for time to pass.

He was timing. From the moment he climbed ashore, he had already started timing. He wanted to know if this 【War】 who didn't show up or speak would really lock people up for a night and then let them go safely, but his experiment hadn't ended yet, and this speechless confinement was interrupted by external forces.

A pair of eyes filled with starlight and spirals opened in that terrifying sea of blood without warning. The moment those eyes opened, the starry sky in the eyes seemed to descend under the sea of blood, making all the sea of blood water that rippled with the fishy wind fall, pouring into the unknown starry sky like a waterfall.

In just a moment, the blood of the whole world dried up.

Those eyes blinked slightly, looked coldly at a corner of this world, and asked in a tone like the cold wind of the abyss:

"【War】, since you dare not fight me, why do you dare to imprison my believer?"

"..."

The world was a huge silence. No one dared to respond to the eyes' question.

On the contrary, Cheng Shi, after seeing his benefactor descend, felt the stone in his heart suddenly fall. He stood up from the ground with a "swoosh," and praised his benefactor with a face full of piety:

"Praise 【Fate】!

The handed-down chapters are writing your generosity, and the timeless poems are chanting your tolerance. Although your believer is now disheveled and has no face to see you, the unblemished piety still made me feel your radiance and prompted me to instinctively greet you.

Your pious believer Cheng... eh eh eh..."

Before Cheng Shi finished speaking, he was coldly thrown into His pupils by those eyes. As for this world without blood, He sneered, left a "boring," and disappeared as well.

After 【Nothingness】 left, a pair of different-colored eyes boiling with blood and fire opened above the sky, looking at the place where Cheng Shi once stood with a frown, and said in a muffled voice:

"Desire to survive...

It is indeed a boring desire."

After speaking, the entire battlefield world and those eyes collapsed into the void together.
