Seeing Lele'er was so stupid, Cheng Shi sighed and revealed some things about the rain forest being protected by the Grand Court of Inquisition. However, he did not forget why he came here, so he asked again:
"Order and War once entered the sea of desire together. Did they come into conflict with your benefactor?"
Lele'er's aura became even more confused, and he even asked Cheng Shi:
“When did they come?”
"?"
Cheng Shi laughed in anger. For a moment he didn't know how to evaluate this "unique" god.
"Okay, okay, they haven't been here, but I have been here, I have been here, okay..."
By this time, Cheng Shi had basically figured out the situation. Rather than saying that Lele'er had fallen into depravity and become the messenger of [Depravity], it would be better to say that he had become a fool who only knew how to devour fear to please himself.
The fact that he knows nothing about anything is really frustrating.
"Do you regret it?"
After realizing that he couldn't get any other answers, Cheng Shi could only turn his attention back to Lele itself.
"In order to make up for the lack of fear in yourself, you jumped into the sea of desire and became the mother tree of fear that everyone in the universe hated. You lost your people and Garuda, and even lost everything except fear. Lele'er, do you regret it now?
Do you remember the courage you had to take that leap?"
"Courage..." Lele'er's breath suddenly weakened, and the branches of the towering tree began to wither rapidly, "I don't have the courage...
Before the Sea of Desire, I experienced what fear was, and I was already very satisfied. I didn’t want to jump down, but someone pushed me down…”
"!!??"
Cheng Shi's pupils shrank, and he said in disbelief: "Garuda!?"
"No, it wasn't Garuda. I'm familiar with his aura, but the one who pushed me...
I have never... felt... His breath...
He is like... like...”
As he was talking, Lele'er became speechless, and he became more and more confused and dazed. The branches on his body seemed to want to point somewhere, but when they pointed at Cheng Shi, they stopped moving.
He seemed to be affected by something, and his withering accelerated.
But He did not die. Instead, He retained the last glimmer of life in His torso and was struggling against this sudden external force.
Of course, Cheng Shi didn't know all this. He only saw that as the vitality of the commander gradually faded, the towering tree in front of him seemed to have lost its original grandeur and became extremely ordinary and ugly.
At this moment, a sparrow-like bird flew in from nowhere and slowly landed on the withered treetop under Cheng Shi's gaze. It looked around and pecked everywhere, as if telling Cheng Shi with practical actions that the tree was no longer a threat.
Cheng Shi was stunned for a moment. He didn't even think about what was happening at the moment, and suddenly a burning sensation rose in his heart.
Since there is no obstacle ahead and there is no fear in my heart, then why... not take a look at the side of the sea of desire?
Even just a look from a distance!
As soon as this thought arose, the sound of the tide in the distance became clearer. Listening to the alluring call, Cheng Shi took the first step towards the sea of desire without hesitation.
Then, the second step, the third step, the fourth step...
His steps became bigger and bigger, and his speed became faster and faster. He was afraid that if he slowed down a step, he would lose this rare opportunity to witness the sea of desire with his own eyes, so he gathered all his strength and rushed forward.
Seeing that Cheng Shi was about to escape the sight of the Mother Tree of Fear and dive into the edge of the sea of desire, and seeing that the clown was about to embrace the desire of the universe by indulging in his own desires, 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 a song to wake up this lost man.
But before the bird sang its first syllable, there was a "bang" and Cheng Shi's figure was suddenly stuck like a nail between the Mother Tree of Fear and the Sea of Desire.
He stopped.
He was covered in cold sweat and panting like a cow.
His face was pale and he was trembling all over. His body looked extremely stiff, but his lips seemed to be "lively" moving.
"·Tsk—the fear is back?"
It was a rare time when Foolish Lips took the initiative to send a "greeting" to Cheng Shi.
Cheng Shi clenched his fists tightly, gritted his teeth, and didn't dare to look up at the road ahead. He almost squeezed out two words from his throat: "No."
"Why did it stop?"
"Because..." He pulled out the foot that was deeply stuck in the mud, turned stiffly, took a few deep breaths and walked back in the direction he came from. "...Lao Jia taught me that a person must first learn to control his desires. The lack of fear is not the reason for my indulgence."
"Oh, I've seen people flatter themselves, but I've never seen people flatter others.
You know whether it is him or not, clown."
"......"
Failed to pretend, or failed to perform.
It was indeed not Lao Jia's teachings that brought Cheng Shi back. A memory related to mortals could not resist the call of the tide at the edge of the sea of desire.
[Fall] is so terrible that even if a creature that breaks in here has only a trace of desire, it can find countless resonances on this mudflat close to the sea of desire.
Those resonances are like thousands of threads, they pull you, tug on you, control you, and keep moving towards the depths of the sea of desire, looking for more recognition and stronger resonance, until your desires flow into rivers like trickles and become one with the sea of desire.
