Chapter 935: Lived Another Day

Lived Another Day

Seeing Lele'er was stupid and pitiful, Cheng Shi sighed and still revealed some things about the rainforest being protected by the Grand Court of Judgment. But he didn't forget why he came here, so he immediately asked again:

"【Order】 once stepped into the Sea of Desire with 【War】. Did they have a conflict with your patron?"

Lele'er's breath was more confused, and He even asked Cheng Shi back:

"When did they come?"

"?"

Cheng Shi laughed angrily. For a moment, he didn't know how to evaluate this god who was so "unique."

"Fine, fine, they didn't come, I came, I came, okay..."

By this time, Cheng Shi had basically figured out the situation. Rather than saying Lele'er fell into a messenger of 【Filth】, it was better to say He became a fool who only knew how to swallow fear to please Himself.

This appearance of knowing nothing could really make people anxious.

"Do you regret it?"

After finding that he couldn't ask any other answers, Cheng Shi could only turn his attention back to Lele'er Himself.

"In order to make up for the lack of fear, you jumped into the Sea of Desire, became the Fear Mother Tree that everyone in the universe hates, lost your people and Garuda, and even lost everything except fear. Lele'er, do you regret it now?

Do you still remember the 'courage' when you jumped down?"

"Courage..." Lele'er's breath suddenly withered, and the branches of the giant tree began to wither rapidly. "I didn't have courage...

Back then in front of the Sea of Desire, I witnessed what fear was, and I was already very satisfied. I didn't want to jump down, it was someone who pushed me down..."

"!!??"

Cheng Shi's pupils shrank, and he said in disbelief: "Garuda!?"

"No, it wasn't Garuda. I am very familiar with His aura, but the person who pushed me...

I have never... felt... His aura..."

As He spoke, Lele'er lost His speech, and He became more and more confused and sluggish. His whole body's branches seemed to want to point somewhere, but they didn't move after pointing at Cheng Shi just now.

He seemed to be affected by something, and the withering accelerated.

But He didn't die, but retained the last trace of weak vitality in His trunk, and was wrestling with this sudden external force.

Of course, Cheng Shi didn't know all this. He only saw that with the gradual dissipation of a messenger's vitality, the giant tree piercing the sky in front of him seemed to lose its original magnificence, looking extremely ordinary and ugly.

And it was at this time that a sparrow-like bird flew from somewhere, and under Cheng Shi's gaze, slowly landed on the withered treetop, looking around, pecking everywhere, seeming to tell Cheng Shi with practical actions that this tree had no threat.

Cheng Shi was stunned for a moment. He didn't even think about what happened, and a fire suddenly rose in his heart.

Since the road ahead is unobstructed, since there is no fear in the heart, then why... not go to the side of the Sea of Desire and take a look?

Even if it's just looking from afar!

As soon as this thought arose, the sound of the tide in the distance became clearer. Listening to the soul-hooking call, Cheng Shi took the first step toward the Sea of Desire without hesitation.

Immediately after, the second step, the third step, the fourth step...

The steps became larger and larger, and the speed became faster and faster. He was afraid that if he was slow by one step, he would lose the opportunity to witness the Sea of Desire with his own eyes, which was rare in the universe. So he used all his strength, buried his head and rushed forward.

Seeing Cheng Shi was about to break away from the Fear Mother Tree's field of vision and plunge into the edge of the Sea of Desire, seeing the clown indulging his own desire and about to embrace the desire of the universe, the bird that had just landed on the withered giant tree hurriedly flapped its wings and flew up, raising its neck as if to sing loudly to wake up this lost person.

But just before the bird could sing the first note, with a "bang," Cheng Shi's figure suddenly stuck deeply between the Fear Mother Tree and the Sea of Desire like a nail.

He stopped.

Covered in cold sweat, panting like an ox.

His face was pale, his whole body trembling, his body clearly looked extremely stiff, but his lips seemed to be "lively" jumping.

His face was deathly pale and his whole body was trembling; although his body appeared extremely stiff, his lips seemed to be "lively" twitching.

The Lips of Foolish Play took the initiative to send "greetings" to Cheng Shi at this time.

Cheng Shi clenched his fists tightly, gritted his teeth, didn't dare to look up at the road ahead, and squeezed two words from his throat: "No."

"·Then why did you stop?"

"Because..." He pulled out the foot that had been stepped deeply into the silt, turned stiffly, took a few deep breaths, and decisively walked back in the direction he came from, "... Old Jia taught me that to be a person, one must first learn to restrain desire. No fear is not the reason for my indulgence."

"·Heh, I've seen people wearing high hats for themselves, but I haven't seen people wearing high hats for others.

Whether it's him or not, you know it in your heart, clown."

"..."

Pretending to be cool failed, or rather, the performance failed.

It was indeed not Old Jia's teaching that awakened Cheng Shi. A memory related to mortals could not contend with the tidal call of the edge of the Sea of Desire.

【Filth】 is too terrible. Even if the creatures that break into here only have a trace of desire, they can find countless resonances on this mudflat near the Sea of Desire.

Those resonances are like thousands of threads, they pull you, pull you, control you, and make you walk toward the depths of the Sea of Desire, looking for more recognition and stronger resonance, until your desire merges into the river like a trickle and becomes one with the Sea of Desire.

Even subordinate gods might not be able to withstand this pull, let alone Cheng Shi who only possessed a container. So Cheng Shi was recruited soon, especially when he lost his fear, he couldn't guard against his desire at all, until...

He made a move!

Cheng Shi, who turned back resolutely, suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and spat the blood-stained door key in his mouth into his palm.

He looked at this door key that saved his life in a daze, realizing that it was the gift of that lord that fished himself back from the edge of the Sea of Desire.

Indeed, 【Death】 protected Cheng Shi again.

Although Lele'er dispelled his fear, He couldn't take away this new fear authority that didn't belong to 【Filth】.

When Cheng Shi ran faster and faster toward the Sea of Desire and even wanted to spit out the protection of the door key because he had no fear, the rough 【Death】 creation cut his tongue, bringing new fear to him.

So the clown stopped.

So what he said was not wrong. Although the one who saved the clown was fear, it was not the fear of the past, but a new fear, a brand new fear that didn't belong to 【Filth】.

Realizing that even the land of sinking that hadn't reached the Sea of Desire was not simple, Cheng Shi's retreating steps became faster and faster. He asked with lingering fear while cautiously retreating:

"Mouth Brother, if even I can't resist the call of this Sea of Desire, how could Ke Laoer restrain himself from profiting and stopping under the Fear Mother Tree?"

The Lips of Foolish Play didn't want to pay attention to Cheng Shi, but it was rare to meet an opportunity, so it sneered and replied:

"·The High Inquisitor has the protection of a patron."

"?" Cheng Shi's footsteps paused, and he frowned, "That's a way of saying it. Don't I have a patron? I have four... forget it, three... two patrons, don't I have more patrons than him?"
