When Fang Zheng opened his eyes again, what he saw was... a broken ceiling.
"Hiss... This world is really trying to make me miserable..."
Fang Zheng gasped, stood up, and brushed off the dust and debris on his body.
After defeating Lucifer, he ascended the Supreme Throne, and then Fang Zheng fulfilled his promise. He used the Supreme Throne to repair the world, turning it into a world where humans and demons coexisted - oh, and by the way, he eliminated the ghouls. After all, since there are demons, there is no need for ghouls. Fang Zheng mainly protects humans, and the life and death of ghouls is naturally... not within the scope of his concern.
After making sure that the entire world had been repaired, Fang Zheng drew his sword and chopped the Supreme Throne into pieces with one blow.
However, this world seemed unwilling to submit to Fang Zheng even so. The moment Fang Zheng smashed the Supreme Throne, the Supreme Heaven where he was suddenly shattered, and then was sucked into the cracks in space. Then Fang Zheng just floated and floated, and then he fell directly from the sky and hit the ground.
"It doesn't really think it can kill me by falling like this."
Fang Zheng stretched his body and complained at the same time. To be honest, this was the first time Fang Zheng encountered such a world will that would rather die than surrender, so much so that Fang Zheng didn't know what to do with it. This guy was desperate and deliberately trying to delay the entire process of Fang Zheng possessing himself, and put on an attitude of "even if I can't beat you, I will disgust you to death". To be honest, this really made Fang Zheng feel a little depressed.
He now felt like this was a game, and the game designer used all kinds of disgusting methods to prevent players from completing the game...
However, games have their limits, and so does this world. In fact, by now, Fang Zheng already knew that this world had no other means to deal with him. If he was not mistaken, this world should be the inner world... Every world is integrated inside and outside, and the world will could not deal with itself no matter how it messed around in the outer world, so it threw itself into the inner world.
Anyway...what the hell is this place?
Fang Zheng dusted himself off and looked around. This place was clearly a church. However, it looked like it had been abandoned for quite some time. Looking around, there were ruins everywhere. There was nothing but a corpse nearby.
Fang Zheng went over to check and found that the body had already dried and decayed, and it was unknown how long it had been since death.
"Forget it, let's go out and take a look first."
While muttering to himself, Fang Zheng walked to the church door, opened the door and walked out of the church. However, when he raised his head and looked at what was in front of him, the scene made Fang Zheng whistle.
“Wow.”
In front of Fang Zheng, there stood a towering tree in the distance. It glowed with golden light, as if it was a world tree that covered the entire world. Even in the dark night, its light was so dazzling. It must be said that as a pure view, it was still very attractive.
And at this moment, a familiar voice sounded in his ears.
"Lord Ashes..."
"Ah, Fire Girl."
Fang Zheng was not surprised by the appearance of the Fire Keeper. He turned around and looked at the Fire Keeper behind him, who lowered her head.
"You felt it too?"
"Yes, Master Ashes... I feel it..."
"I finally found the final seal."
Fang Zheng clenched his fists, stared at the golden tree in front of him, and snorted coldly. The only thing he had not unsealed was the First Fire, and right now, Fang Zheng could feel that the First Fire was sealed somewhere in this world. This was also the reason why the Fire Keeper rarely appeared here. Obviously, she also felt the breath of the First Fire, so she showed up.
Hearing Fang Zheng's sigh, the Fire Keeper retreated in a low voice, and then disappeared into the air again. Fang Zheng also came back to his senses at this moment and looked around.
Anyway, let's look around here first to see if we can find any clues.
The entire church was in ruins, with signs of disrepair everywhere. Fang Zheng searched for a long time but didn't find anything useful or recorded. Although there was a locked door on top that he kicked open in frustration, he only found something like a scroll and... a small bottle of ashes.
What the hell is this?
Looking at the ashes in the box, Fang Zheng was confused. What the hell is wrong with the people in this world? Why are the ashes hidden in a box instead of being buried in the ground?
By the way, this thing... is it ashes? ? ?
After searching the church, Fang Zheng did not find anything useful, so he had no choice but to leave the church, cross the wooden bridge, and walk to the other side. To be honest, Fang Zheng was not in a good mood at the moment, because he had a familiar feeling about this world, just like Lothric and Yharnam...
Well, those who understand will understand.
This feeling is not good at all. At least when Fang Zheng thinks of those two places, they are not good memories.
After crossing the wooden bridge, Fang Zheng arrived at the square in front of the church. He saw a statue in the center of the square. It seemed to be a statue of a woman with her arms outstretched in a strange pose. Behind the woman, there seemed to be a snake coiled...
What the hell is this?
Just when Fang Zheng was about to move closer to take a closer look at the statue, suddenly, something strange happened.
A figure suddenly leaped from behind the statue, then landed heavily on the square, blocking Fang Zheng's way.
“…Oh my god, what kind of freak is this?”
Looking at the monster in front of him, Fang Zheng was speechless.
What he saw in front of him was a strange-looking thing. It had a crab-like oval body covered with black cloth. But that was not the point. The point was that this thing had arms all over its body!
That's right, even the arms that were used to support the body were stretched out on the ground. It looked like a white crab with arms instead of legs, and it was waving four arms holding long swords, and one arm was holding a large golden shield. In front of it was a human head and skull, hiding itself behind the shield.
Wow, this thing has both offensive and defensive capabilities.
Just as Fang Zheng was sighing, he saw the monster open its mouth, roar, and pounce towards him waving four sharp blades like a crab!
"roll!"
It was naturally not difficult for Fang Zheng to deal with this kind of monster. Facing the long sword swung by the monster, he just roared angrily, and then rushed forward with the dagger in his left hand.
“Bang!!”
With a slight sound, the multi-armed monster suddenly collapsed to the ground. Then Fang Zheng stepped forward, and the black sword in his hand directly pierced through its head and stabbed into its body. The next moment, the monster screamed, and completely lost its movement. It collapsed to the ground and turned into ashes and disappeared into the air.
"This thing looks really disgusting."
Seeing the multi-handed monster die, Fang Zheng sighed, then walked across the square again and walked forward, but...
“No way out???”
Walking through the square, Fang Zheng was confused as he looked at the cliffs in front of him. Judging from the decayed railings beside him, there should have been a suspension bridge connecting the other side. But... well, maybe because of disrepair, the suspension bridge is ruined. And he was trapped in this damn place and could never get out.
Is there no other way?
“Crack.”
Just as Fang Zheng was thinking, he suddenly felt a slight sound coming from under his feet. Then, the land he was standing on suddenly collapsed.
"drink!!"
However, Fang Zheng's reaction was not slow. As the cliff collapsed, he suddenly jumped up and jumped back. But what Fang Zheng didn't expect was that just after he landed, the ground under his feet collapsed again, and Fang Zheng quickly turned over... and reached out to grab the edge of the cliff.
"call……"
Hanging on the edge of the cliff, Fang Zheng wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. However, when he was about to go up, Fang Zheng was surprised to find that the entire platform in front of him began to crack. Cracks appeared and extended, and then... the entire stone platform was completely shattered and collapsed.
“What the hell—!?”
The next moment, Fang Zheng fell down along with the rubble and fell heavily into the cold sea below.
“Cough, cough, cough…”
When Fang Zhenghao finally reached the shore, he was already in a state of disgrace.
"Fuck, this is really... Does this world dislike me so much?"
Looking at his armor that was soaked all over, Fang Zheng was speechless. Well, he had to admit that this world really didn't like him.
This is really a hassle.
Fang Zheng sighed, then looked around. This should be a dilapidated cave, and at the end of the cave there was a door...
Well, it seems that I have been washed to another hellish place by the unruly sea water. I hope this place is not an isolated island this time. There must be a way for people to walk. If it continues like this, won’t it become an infinite nesting doll? Will this ever end?
"Anyway, let's take a look around first."
Fang Zheng waved the sword in his hand, and then spoke to himself. Since the First Flame was sealed in this world, his purpose was very clear, which was to remove the seal, master his own First Flame again, and then... Damn, this world doesn't like me so much, I might as well burn it down!
