Chapter 936

The Foolish Old Man is far inferior to you.

Happy holidays; I am brave today, but will return to two updates tomorrow~

The Lips of Envoy Envoy Yu Xi had been silent, but unable to withstand Cheng Shi's repeated bombardment, it had no choice but to sigh and say:

"I am not that omniscient and omnipotent One, how would I know?"

"Then you must know something, right?"

"I only know that a clown who has managed to pick up his life is still a clown.

Have you ever thought about what I should do, what the tongue should do, and what the ears should do if you die within the Sea of Desire?

We certainly don't want to become some strange Lips of Fear, Tongue of Pleasure, and Ears of Pain."

"......"

Cheng Shi at that time had no heart to think about such things; he had long been controlled by desire.

However, having returned to calmness, after hearing these words, he suddenly asked back in a strange tone:

"Brother Mouth, before Le Le'er became the Mother Tree of Fear, she was a Messenger of 【Prosperity】. Since you say you can become a Lip of Fear similar to Her, can I understand that you have defaulted to a fact, which is:

Even if you don't have the status given by the God of Fun right now, you are actually already considered His Messenger?"

"You are wrong." The response from the Lips of Envoy Envoy Yu Xi was very swift.

"?"

"The true Messenger is you, Lord Envoy Envoy Yu Xi.

But judging by your performance today, you won't need to be called Envoy Envoy Yu Xi when the time comes; you might as well be called the Lord of Greed. After all, the only connection you have with the Sea of Desire is greed."

"......"

Being mocked again, but this time it felt... actually not bad?

Cheng Shi smiled, a hint of a smile spreading across his pale face, but this smile did not represent that he had picked up some "painful desire to take pleasure in verbal stimulation" on the edge of the Sea of Desire, but rather that he knew being mocked meant he was still alive.

It's truly good; he survived another day, and that in the extremely dangerous Land of Sinking on the edge of this Sea of Desire.

Cheng Shi's pace as he walked back was faster, his breathing even became cautious, and he even covered his ears, no longer listening to the sound of the tides in the distance.

He felt that it was this fog and tide that had deprived him of his sanity, and coupled with Le Le'er's fool-like divine assist, he had fallen for it.

However, Cheng Shi, who had regained fear, returned to a steady state; at least on the way back, he felt his condition was recovering.

"Brother Mouth, if even I cannot withstand the call of this Sea of Desire, how was Ke Yinlaoer able to restrain himself and profit from under the Mother Tree of Fear before withdrawing?"

The Lips of Envoy Envoy Yu Xi did not want to pay attention to Cheng Shi anymore, but having rarely encountered an opportunity, it sneered and replied:

"The Supreme Judge has the protection of a Benefactor."

"?" Cheng Shi's footsteps paused, and he frowned. "Saying it like that, do I not have a Benefactor? I have four... forget it, three... two Benefactors; aren't they more than his?"

"Whether there are more or not aside, I am saying that he has the protection of a Benefactor; what is the use of you only having Benefactors?"

"???"

Cheng Shi was stunned. He was also thinking about this question. Since the God of Fun sent him to probe 【Filthy Fall】, why wasn't it Him who fished him back from the edge of the Sea of Desire, but 【Death】?

His expression became strange, but before he could open his mouth to ask, the Lips of Envoy Envoy Yu Xi answered him intimately.

"If He dared to come here to fish someone out, why do you think He needed a clown like you to scout the path for Him?

Is it because clowns run faster than fun?"

"......"

That sounds so reasonable...

However, Brother Mouth, why do I feel like you are blaspheming the God of Fun?

"Yo, some people have blasphemy on their lips all year round and don't care, yet I only complained once and was judged?

Lord Clown Judge, then I would like to ask, which Him does the law you follow in your court come from?

Could it be that God of 【Deception】 who didn't want to save you?"

It's no wonder Ke Laoer carried these documents with him even when going on an expedition. Because once these things were discovered by the High Court of Judgment, the Gonglu Sect would probably be demoted from the judge's bench to the defendant's bench the next day, and they would have to practice the series of laws they formulated on themselves.

Perhaps it also felt fear?

Cheng Shi was silent.

Yes, he has to take the blame for being controlled by desire, but one has to say, shouldn't the God of Fun, who didn't appear, bear three... seven parts of the responsibility for this?

And what about 【Fate】!?

Why didn't the other Benefactor, who claimed to lead him toward a predetermined path, appear either? Could his predetermined path be in the depths of the Sea of Desire?

Absurd!

If this were said out loud, it would probably laugh the Universe to death.

Fortunately, he escaped the Sea of Desire and saved his life; this time he truly owes that Lord a life.

Cheng Shi pulled himself together, tightened his nerves, and walked faster and faster. Before long, he returned to the foot of the Mother Tree of Fear, but at this time Le Le'er had already completely withered and lost all vitality.

This Messenger of 【Filthy Fall】, who had dominated the Sea of Desire for endless years, finally fell along with the fall of Her mother. It is unknown whether, when they meet in another dimension, they will still have disagreements about the will of the Universe's prosperity.

"Dead... a Messenger actually passed away just like that..."

The scene before his eyes undoubtedly gave Cheng Shi a huge shock. Although he had witnessed the self-destruction of 【Prosperity】, that explosion which left the Universe speechless was, after all, earth-shattering and soul-stirring, but Le Le'er's death...

She was like a giant tree that had been pressed with a fast-forward button, dying extremely ordinarily, dying silently, seemingly no different from the withered flowers by the roadside and the fallen wood in the forest.

This stark contrast is the reason why Cheng Shi was shocked. It is unimaginable that the fall of a Him could be so silent.

So even becoming a subordinate god is just a larger splash in the long river of this era, completely incomparable to 【Them】 who jumped out of the river and sat on the bank.

Perhaps Le Le'er can start over in the next era, but the problem is, can She wait? Can the Universe wait?

Even if it waits, will what comes be another era, or...

Another experiment?

Cheng Shi's thoughts fell into chaos, and a flash of confusion crossed his eyes, but fear woke him up, allowing him to quickly find himself again.

He stood under this withered giant tree, looked left and right for a moment, and suddenly asked with some doubt:

"Brother Mouth, will ordinary life forms break into the Land of Sinking?"

"Do you admit that you are a Messenger?"

"......" Cheng Shi rolled his eyes speechlessly. "I entered as a person in a dream after all, so I certainly don't count as an ordinary life form, but I clearly remember seeing a sparrow on this branch just now; why is it gone now?"

"Isn't it right here? Chirping and noisy all day long, isn't that just a sparrow?"

"......"

Today is not a good day to talk to Brother Mouth; the mockery is endless.

But could that sparrow be an illusion under the disturbance of the tides of the Sea of Desire?

Cheng Shi frowned slightly, not taking it to heart; his gaze was quickly attracted by Le Le'er's "corpse."

Think about it, Ke Yinlaoer only picked up a withered branch dropped by Le Le'er and molded it into a giant bow capable of splitting wind and killing people; then if he were to move the entire withered Tree of Fear away...

Hiss—

The Sea of Desire is starting to affect me again!

Thinking this, Cheng Shi subconsciously took out a sharp axe from his portable space.

Seeing this, someone sneered:

"In the past, there was the Foolish Old Man moving mountains; today, there is a clown chopping wood.

Yet the Foolish Old Man's descendants are endless, while the clown only has jokes.

If one could replace the axe with laughter, the Foolish Old Man would be far inferior to you."

"......"

Cheng Shi's face collapsed upon hearing this, seemingly having lost all his strength.

Too bad, this is the episode where I least want Brother Mouth to be cultured.
