Chapter 4122: Life and Chaos

~10 min read 1,844 words

The crowd continued to approach the evil thing, but Miss Feilian did not follow, but hovered in place to observe the surroundings.

Prepared so fully, she never thought that everyone would lose this battle from the beginning. She was now worried that after 【Life】 was defeated, the existence waiting at the end would appear immediately. Facing a god in such a form, she actually had no certainty.

It was just that after the four people approached the evil thing at a close enough distance, the monster that fell to the ground suddenly broke free from the shackles of the moonlight. The originally ignorant eyes were now full of wisdom. It opened its mouth and swallowed Xia De who had come to it, and then avoided the miracle attacks of the other three witches, turning into a group of dim yellow light and flying toward the distance.

"Bad! Although the aging of life means the withering of the body, it also means the accumulation of wisdom! This thing had been preparing a trap for a long time, chase it quickly!"

The anxious Jia Lin and Madame Gustav immediately chased into the mist. That dim yellow color was quite conspicuous, so there was no need to worry about not finding it. Miss Breadwei, who was crying with tears and snot all over her face, also wanted to chase, and then she noticed that the petite doll was following her unhurriedly.

"Miss Feilian, aren't you worried about him?"

"What's there to worry about? He can feel life energy; he must have seen that this was a trap long ago. He probably also noticed from your battle just now that for 【Life】, the inside is much more fragile than the outside."

The petite doll smiled:

"Look, he made a move."

In the mist, dense crimson translucent petals came head-on. The halfling girl, who sensed a fatal threat, hurriedly activated the secret technique 【False Life Skin】, using the power of the fire seed to resist the power of these petals.

She and the doll lady accelerated to run forward, and the petals blowing from the front became denser and denser. There was a fishy sweet floral fragrance in the air. The halfling girl felt that the fragrance smelled very good at first, but soon realized that this fragrance was simply the taste of flesh and blood deformity.

The figures of the old witch and Jia Lin appeared in front, and the dragon girl had also returned to human form at this time. Miss Breadwei was very curious about why they stopped, and after she stopped beside everyone, she exclaimed after looking at the scene in front of her:

"Oh, this is really... beautiful."

The dense petal rain came head-on, and not far ahead, a meat ball as huge as a hill fell into the blood water on the ground. On the back of that mass of flesh and blood, crimson flower buds were blooming.

【Rotten Moon Flower】 took root in 【Life】, and because it absorbed the power of "withering" from its body, it was slowly changing colors. And the flower with the power of flesh and blood withering further caused the life under the root system to decay.

The skin color of that motionless meat ball became more and more withered and yellow, and its body shape became thinner and thinner, while the flower buds growing on its back became larger and larger.

The witches didn't know what words to use to describe the scene at this time, but in short, this miracle looked even more evil than that evil thing.

Finally, the huge flower buds completely covered the traces of the meat ball, as if the flower buds had sucked the flesh and blood clean. Layers of petals bloomed, and the sky full of flower rain appeared in the blood mist, and in the center of the blooming petals, Xia De, who was in the form of flames, also appeared.

"I have to admit that the characteristic of the Life Fire Form being immune to negative effects targeting flesh and blood is really too powerful."

He said so, and reversed his body from the life fire seed back to the flesh and blood form. The flames finally gathered in the Source of Fire in his palm. If it weren't for the brand-new miracle, Xia De really wouldn't have dared to take the risk of being swallowed by the evil thing.

Seeing that he was fine, everyone was relieved, but they didn't dare to approach immediately, and only after Xia De's miracle effect completely ended, and all the crimson petals with dim yellow edges dissipated, did they dare to walk over.

"The miracle you chose for yourself is excellent."

Miss Feilian praised, falling back onto Xia De's shoulder, while the others looked at Xia De's feet. 【Life】 was born from the furnace, withered when it withered, and finally perished in the red rotten moonlight.

In the end, only a piece of black skin and flesh remained. The skin and flesh were soaked in the blood water under his feet. Xia De picked it up, and everyone watched it without speaking. Finally, the halfling girl who had wiped her face clean said:

"Is it my illusion? Why does it smell so good?"

As her words fell, everyone's stomachs growled together, even Xia De was the same.

"Is this a placenta?"

Madame Gustav asked. Although the color was a bit wrong, the shape was generally not wrong. And no one could describe that fragrance with suitable words; everyone just knew they needed it.

This was different from the desire to make one's own life force stronger when seeing the "Life Fire Seed." The desire for this black placenta was life attempting to evolve.

"This is the essence of life, a treasure sufficient to fill any congenital or acquired physical defects, sufficient to cure any physical disease, and sufficient to allow any life to evolve toward a higher level."

Xia De explained:

"I knew some information after I successfully solved it just now. The other me in my ear helped me interpret this information. It was we who let this 【Life】 be born, and it was we who let it spend its life, and finally stepped into worry-free death, so this thing appeared."

He said, and his stomach growled again:

"Let Madame Gustav hold this first; the point now is not the harvest."

He looked around:

"A new life was born, and died again, so, what should we do next?"

Everyone looked around, because the mist stirred by the battle was returning to calm, and the ripples of the blood water under their feet were also calming down. Nothing happened, and nothing changed.

"Is my task completed?"

Xia De asked in his heart, and "She" gave an affirmative answer:

【Task completed, you can choose to return at any time.】

"This... what about that god?"

"I think I probably understand the significance of this factory's existence."

Miss Feilian said while everyone was looking around:

"There is a saying that after the end of the First Era, the subsequent eras are eras heading toward collapse and destruction, which is why many strange problems appeared. This factory is probably used to deal with disordered life force."

"Disordered life force?"

"If you view the life of the entire material world as a whole, then this whole will also have diseases. The increase or decrease in population represents the change in the total life force, and the appearance of plague represents the small diseases in the life as a whole."

"Then what should be done if the life as a whole appears to have problems similar to chaotic disorder and crazy growth as the world progresses?"

Miss Feilian said:

"Introduce all chaotic and disordered life energy here, which is why there are life deformities everywhere in this factory. And the factory can cast the disordered life energy into a whole named 【Life】 through a ritual named 'Life Furnace'."

"And witnessing the birth of 【Life】, and then sending it to death, is probably the fundamental role of this factory's existence. This place is very ancient; I even suspect that the appearance of this place is related to that ancient God of Creation. Perhaps a long time ago, the rituals and steps in the factory were completed by the Old Gods' believers."

Madame Gustav understood Miss Feilian's idea:

"But after the Old Gods left, the Old Gods' cults also fell apart. This factory needs someone to constantly cycle this ritual, which is why outsiders constantly enter to perform this ritual regularly. The coffins we encountered before are proof."

Jia Lin suddenly realized:

"All of us are related to that ancient God of Creation, which is the reason why we entered here! Even if the Old Gods' cults have disappeared in time, the ritual here has never been interrupted, and cannot be interrupted."

Miss Breadwei showed an expression of awe. Although everyone was forced to come here, if there was a noble reason for this trip, they actually didn't hate the adventure along the way.

"This is quite in the style of mythological legends."

Xia De said, and guessed that it was not that no one was supervising this place after the 【Yellow Dusk Creator】 left. The evil god named 【Lord of Flesh Deformity】 clearly took over the responsibility, but that existence clearly did not want to discuss with mortals properly. Once the invitation letter was sent, one must come.

"Although Miss Feilian's guess is not necessarily 100% accurate, it should be close to the truth. However, although we understand the possible significance of this factory, doesn't this ritual leave a way out for the participants?

Or, are all people who participate in the ritual default to be necessary sacrificial victims? After all, the witch who provided us with the coffin before also completed the ritual, but also died here."

The petite witch frowned slightly:

"If we can go out, I think I need to check some information in the Council. This place is probably not only related to that Creator, but also possibly related to the Goddess of Witches. Chaotic disorder represents her mysterious power. The handling of the imbalance of world order since the Mythical Era has the shadow of that ancient witch everywhere.

As for leaving? No, I'm afraid the factory dare not let the participants of the ritual leave. This place is full of chaotic and disordered life force. Even if the people who come to participate in the ritual finally achieve their goals, it is highly likely that their own life forms will be irreversibly affected.

Instead of taking the risk of letting the participants of the ritual return to the normal world with disordered life force and bringing the risk back, it is better to let all the participants of the ritual stay."

"In ancient times, those who participated voluntarily were probably devout martyrs."

Madame Gustav said, while Jia Lin added in a low voice:

"But in modern times, we who participate involuntarily are just unlucky witches with bad luck." ===== CHAPTER 4123 =====
