Chapter 4196: Desire's Help

Yesterday Weige gave Xia De a special coin, which was handed over to Luweiya by Xia De after breakfast today. Although there are many things to investigate in his hands, Xia De hasn't thought about what to divine with it, so he just let Luweiya keep it for the time being as a backup means.

And afterwards, he set off for Moon Bay according to the original plan. Because Xia De has the blessing of chaos, Luweiya and Dorothy are not worried about him. The girls will stay at Xia De's place this morning and wait for him to go to the doctor's meeting after lunch.

As for the brand-new time key that can be used today, Xia De has already asked for one from Danister. The last time he used the key at the 【Skin Goods Hall】 last Saturday was after ten o'clock in the morning. The time hasn't arrived yet, and Xia De is not in a hurry.

Because Xia De didn't want Bella and the others to have too much contact with the mermaid, he didn't tell the ladies currently in Moon Bay that he was coming here today.

After walking out of the dragon's nest outside the city, he took a carriage to his destination. Looking at the prosperous city style of Moon Bay on the way, he even thought that in the current era of war, Moon Bay was more prosperous than when he first came.

The impact of last year's Battle of Moon Bay had completely disappeared.

"Desire" seemed to know that Xia De was coming today. In front of the Earl's manor located on the top of the sea cliff, Countess Dalmanin was already waiting for this carriage.

The beautiful countess, who was becoming less and less like a human, smiled at Xia De. Although she didn't say anything, Xia De felt that the other party's gaze was like "licking" his skin, which felt very bad.

He took the elevator deep in the basement alone to the bottom of the sea cliff. The weather was good today, and the scenery seen from the reef protruding from the sea was very good. After waiting for a while in the sound of the waves, the familiar woman's head poked out from under the sea surface not far from the edge of the reef.

And looking at that face with quite a bit of charm, Xia De breathed a sigh of relief secretly.

Last time at the bottom of the artificial lake, "Desire" appeared in the appearance of a pure mermaid. He thought that the other party would keep that appearance afterwards. Fortunately, the other party still chose the appearance of the past.

【Why is it "fortunately"?】

"She" asked with a smile.

"Because it keeps the current appearance, it can remind me at all times what it really is."

Xia De thought in his heart, watching the sunlight spilling on the sea surface, and the black-haired head stopped at the boundary between light and shadow with a gentle smile. At this moment, he actually felt an unprecedented sense of relaxation when facing "Desire".

The anxieties and uneasiness of the past seemed to have disappeared.

"Your expression is simply writing all your thoughts on your face."

The woman said with a smile, the voice was as hoarse but charming as in the past:

"You feel very relaxed now, you don't have to be on guard against me like in the past, right?"

Xia De didn't answer, and the human head in the water looked up at him with those purple eyes:

"But this doesn't mean anything. When there comes a day when you don't have the blessing of the Old God, but you can still look at me calmly and talk to me with a relaxed mood, that represents that you have truly defeated me, defeated desire."

Xia De knew that the other party made sense, but the woman's head immediately said again:

"But this also means that I have won as well."

On that face that fused the charming characteristics of countless girls and ladies, there was a deep sense of expectation:

"Because, you can finally face me with the attitude of facing ordinary women."

Xia De looked at it:

"Listening to this, no matter what attitude I have towards you, it is you who won."

"Yes, because I am desire, I am the throbbing and longing deep in the human heart. As long as you still retain human thoughts and interesting souls, you will never be able to defeat me."

Xia De didn't comment on this:

"Let's talk about other things. You took back your skin goods, but I noticed that you didn't wear them this time."

That fair hand stretched out from under the water, supporting the left cheek of that beautiful head:

"Why, are you looking forward to seeing that appearance of mine again?"

"No, I'm just curious, how are you going to use that power you took back?"

The head in the water made a playful thoughtful look, which looked very much like Emilia looking at her thesis report in distress.

"Yes, having taken back the power of the past, what should I do... Why don't you find a boring city and let my followers lead the whole city to hold a long and endless feast together, how about that?"

It asked Xia De with a smile. Xia De could tell that this was the other party's refusal to answer the question.

"I helped you find that skin goods, and I also have the responsibility to supervise your behavior. I know it's a bit arrogant to say this, and I certainly can't control you, but at least when I hear that you are planning such a large-scale disaster event, I will definitely come forward to stop it."

"So, you don't care about small-scale events?"

The woman continued to smile. Xia De didn't want to continue to entangle in this kind of problem. He would do anything he could do.

He took out the mask he was carrying, bent down and placed the mask on the edge of the reef:

"Return this to you."

"Not keeping it? You have learned to use it to construct conceptual skin goods. Wearing it, even if you don't use illusions, you don't have to worry about your true identity being discovered by anyone."

Xia De shook his head:

"Your small bottle of pink essence as a gift is enough. I haven't made any achievements worthy of another gift. Please take this mask back."

"What a boring man, but you are really attractive when you say these things. Is that why those witches were attracted to you?"

The tide washed over the reef, and when the tide receded, the mask was gone, but in the original position of the mask, there was an extra key that Xia De was very familiar with. It was a time key.

"Then accept this as a gift. This is what I found from the bottom of the big lake where we last met. This key should be useful to you."

It said again. This time Xia De didn't refuse. The Tree Father decides what kind of task the time key corresponds to. No matter how powerful "Desire" is, it cannot interfere with the time key:

"Then I will accept it, thank you for your generosity this time. But I came to find you this time, actually there are some things I want to talk to you about. Irrelevant to what you want to do, and irrelevant to the relationship of mutual use and cooperation between us."

Xia De put the brand-new key into his pocket, planning to put it under his pillow tonight to test the time it corresponds to, and open the key tomorrow. He could wait for just one day:

"I want to talk to you about the doomsday that is bound to come."

The expression on the beautiful face remained unchanged:

"What is there to talk about? That is something that is bound to come. Even if you do very well, and you choose what seems to be the best path in fate, the end will still not change."

"Doomsday will eventually come, and the world will eventually welcome that moment, but whether the concept of life should end at that moment has not yet been concluded."

Xia De said to it:

"You are something born from the bottom of the wisdom of intelligent life. I don't think you will look forward to the extinction of life. Then are you willing to cooperate? In order to fight against the end that is bound to come, we can continue to cooperate."

The woman looked at him, and those purple eyes that looked like Luweiya's eyes stared at him. Xia De saw curiosity in them:

"Do you understand what you want to do?"

"Actually, I don't understand. I don't know what will happen in the end. I'm not even sure if there really is a so-called 'enemy' in the end."

Xia De stared at those eyes. Perhaps because of the blessing of chaos, perhaps because of his mood at the moment, he was no longer afraid to look at it:

"But I must prepare in advance, prepare to deal with all possibilities. The Chosen, Ringed Shushi factions, and even existences like you—I need more power to unite around me, I need more existences to bring me more possibilities."

The woman's head did not give a response immediately. It just looked at him. For a moment, Xia De actually saw compassion in the other party's expression.

However, that might just be an illusion, or it was just acting.

"Maybe I will help you, just like in the past. Maybe I will only indulge in the last carnival before all life is about to perish. This is also a possibility.

However, I really appreciate the expression you just had. Very charming, very attractive. For girls, that is probably the most deadly poison and the best aphrodisiac."

It sighed:

"Before you understand what you really want to do, I will not agree to cooperate. Cooperation without goals will only lead to a more pathetic ending. However, I will help you once, just this once. Ask a question, but it can only be related to 'creation'. If I can answer, I will tell you the answer."

Xia De suspected this was a trap, but felt that the other party was really willing to help him this time.

He listened to the sound of the waves and made a decision quickly:

"I want to know about the 'First Son'. I once dreamed of the First Son in the red ocean."

He said his nightmare, focusing on describing the silver-headed monster:

"I want to know, if I really need to face this thing, how can I defeat it?"

The woman's head smiled:

"You dreamed of it? Yes, you should indeed dream of it. The First Son, the first creation of the Old God. In the oldest era, when the thirteen Old Ones were still there, I was also very young, and I didn't like them at that time.

Compared with mortal races, these first batch of lives created by the Creator had the power of demigods as soon as they were born. They were demigods of the Mythical Era, not the kind of demigods of the Fifth Era.

They were fearless, empty-headed, and only knew how to follow the 'Father's' orders to transform that barren world. Although they were also intelligent life, they were too noble and selfless, or rather, their brains were different from normal life. Even if they had their own desires in their hearts, they would not easily be affected by me.

Compared with interesting races like humans and elves, they were more like cold machines. No, no, this description is not appropriate now. After all, even machine races know love and hate and have desires, but most of them only know how to fulfill their duties.

The first story of the material world was written by them together with the ancestors... Looking at your expression, you already know what the ancestors are?"

"I only know that they were life that existed before the Old God created the first batch of life."

Xia De nodded, not going to ask about the ancestors. He knew the other party would definitely not answer:

"Then the First Sons, do they really have the emotions of races like humans and elves?" ===== CHAPTER 4197 =====
