Grunt......

The head rolled to the ground, his eyes widened, full of unwillingness, until he died, he couldn't hear the reason for his failure from Cheng Shen's mouth.

In fact, if it is not necessary.

Such as procrastination.

Cheng Shen has never been in the habit of explaining doubts to the enemy.

Dead people know what to do so much.

"This formation ......"

Cheng Shen glanced at Govia who fell to the ground and looked at the altar in front of him, around the altar, there were dense and complex magic patterns, forming a huge six-pointed star array, and sacrifices were placed in four corners.

It was a holy book covered in blood; a pair of broken white wings; a dark blue eye the size of an adult's fist;

and a golden glow floating in the reticle.

The place where Govia was kneeling before was the fifth horn of this circle, and it was obvious that she was also acting as a sacrifice.

The sixth slot is empty.

Waiting for him.

"The function of this part of the formation is to transform the vitality ......" Although Cheng Shen could not open his innate ability, he could also identify the actual effect of a part of the formation with his own knowledge, and then deduce it from this.

"It's like a resurrection formation......"

He looked up.

The candle-fringed altar was covered with undried blood, and the skull on it was not human, with a pair of jet-black horns that curved backwards, a mouth full of fangs, and a sharp sword stuck in its forehead.

The blade was rusty and cracked, and it seemed to shatter if it was pulled hard.

But it seems to suppress a terrifying wave of heart-wrenching season.

I remembered what the old man had just told him.

Cheng Shen's thoughts gradually became clear.

"God...... They don't care if mortals live or die. He shook his head slightly. The so-called god is the master who has broken away from the level of ordinary life, high up and in control, but looks down on the cold and warm of the world.

Unless someone touches her actual interests.

Otherwise.

No amount of sin she committed would have been able to attract her attention.

For God, the world is a huge back garden, who would interfere because a group of ants in the garden fight?

Let alone.

This monastery may not be as conspicuous as an ant's nest......

The catastrophic scene instilled in Cheng Shen's memory by the old man obviously would not be a punishment from the gods.

And this scene in front of him made him guess the fact that he was infinitely close to the truth.

Eighty percent of that catastrophe was a bloody ritual performed by the demon to resurrect itself, but it undoubtedly failed in the end. But I don't know what the reason is, this monastery is actually reflected in a nightmare.

Cheng Shen looked thoughtfully at the old man with a different head.

"It may be his nightmare."

Nightmares don't die.

Immortality here.

There are two interpretations.

First, like Cheng Shen, he can always strengthen his belief in his heart, not be assimilated by nightmares and pulled into the abyss. No matter how badly injured, it is only a superficial effect, and as long as it is not completely worn out, it can survive.

The second is to accept the fact that you are dead.

Melt into the nightmare.

Be part of that endless cycle of reincarnation.

Just like the person in front of him, he was already part of this nightmare, so after being killed by himself, just like the believers he killed before, he died directly and waited for the next reincarnation to begin.

But.

Solving him is still not the key to ending this nightmare.

"This nightmare begins with a demonic ritual, and it should end with a failure of the ritual.

So now just destroy this altar and let it fail......"

Cheng Shen's gaze swept over.

Suddenly.

He rested on the golden glow, his heart stirring.

"What is this...... Why do you feel so appealing to me......"

Cheng Shen unconsciously walked to the edge of the formation, stretched out his hand through the layer of light, and grabbed the free golden substance in his hand.

[Obtain: Sage's Heart!] 】

……

"I want to eat it......"

Cheng Shen felt the hesitation of the desire from the bottom of his heart, and his intuition told him that this thing seemed to be a great tonic for the soul, but he was worried that using the substance in this nightmare would indirectly assimilate his soul.

After weighing for a moment, Cheng Shen suddenly reached out and tore a small piece of it, and then he walked straight to Govia's side.

"This must be a good thing, I'll make it up to you first." Cheng Shen stuffed it directly into her mouth.

At the moment when his fingers touched her soft lips, his movements suddenly stopped, and Cheng Shen nodded with satisfaction.

"It does seem to be a good thing."

Let's talk about it.

Without hesitation, he shoved the whole mass into his mouth.

"Hmm! ……”

Jin Hui's entrance instantly turned into a hot stream, along his broken esophagus, penetrating into his body, and the extreme heat surged, Cheng Shen suddenly felt as if he was in a raging furnace!

Crackling......!

His skin was like porcelain and quickly crawled with fine cracks, and flowing golden light was transmitted through the cracks, and two brilliant rays of light suddenly burst out from his eyes, like golden lightning instantly piercing the space in front of him!

"Ahh

”

The agitation in his chest made Cheng Shen can't help but let out a wild roar.

Rumble!

The next moment.

His whole body was shattered into tens of thousands of pieces in an instant!

Cheng Shen is not dead! At this moment, he only felt that his consciousness was scattered, spread all over every corner of this building, this was not an illusion of death, but a symbol of the sublimation of his soul level!

His consciousness enveloped the entire building, looking at everything from a very peculiar perspective, like a god sitting on a cloud looking down on all beings.

This feeling.

More mysterious and fascinating than how he perceives things through his psychic powers!

In his perspective, the world seems to be frozen, and the ultimate insight can even allow Cheng Shen to capture the free dust in the air.

Sou!

The soul fragments scattered in all corners suddenly turned into golden streamers, quickly returning to the sky, and reforming Cheng Shen's soul body, his originally translucent soul actually emitted golden brilliance from the inside out!

"It turned out that only a moment passed......"

Cheng Shen was suddenly, immersed in the wonderful feeling just now, and he only felt as if a century had passed.

Until the perspective is restored.

But some changes remained in him forever.

Cheng Shen could clearly perceive that the time frozen around him began to flow, as if the world pressed by the pocket watch had regained order, the dust in the air fell, and everything turned from dead silence to fresh operation...

There's a lot going on.

It's just that he doesn't have time to think about it.

Cheng Shen immediately turned his head and looked at the place where Govia fell, and saw that she, who was already dead, had climbed to the corner where the other sacrifice was at some point, and was reaching out to grab the dark blue eyes.

"Wind."

Cheng Shen said softly with a calm expression.

Call......!

The white candles that surrounded the altar were suddenly blown by a fierce wind, and shook violently, and a gust of wind passed through the temple like a raging torrent, enveloping Govia and the sacrifice!

"You selfish fellow!"

Govia scolded angrily, her voice and appearance did not change, but Cheng Shen became extremely perceptive at this time, but he could feel from her expression that Govia's soul was completely different.

"You really can't hide it."

Cheng Shen said calmly.

Peng!

The invisible wind hit the ground and instantly smashed the hard stone slabs and bricks, and the broken stones splattered out like bullets.

But at the critical moment, Govia took out a black statue pendant from his arms, the statue was faceless, in a funny clown pose, and a strange wave spread out from it, protecting Govia from being injured.

She still held the eyeball in her hand.

Card......

A fine line cracked on the statue again, and Govia's figure immediately disappeared in place, appearing in the distance.

And at the same time.

The building seemed to be hit by Cheng Shen's bombardment, and began to shake violently, and pieces of heavy masonry loosened and fell off the ceiling.

"You knew it was me from the beginning?"

Govia held the dark blue eye in his hand and had a playful expression.

"Not sure."

Cheng Shen stood in the falling rocks with great determination, he knew that this nightmare world was coming to an end because the demon's resurrection ritual had been destroyed.

Prepare to move on to the next reincarnation.

But.

There will be no more him and Govia in this reincarnation.

As for when this nightmare will be over once and for all...... I'm afraid it will have to wait until the nightmare space is destroyed.

But that was an almost unattainable dream. As long as there is a living race in the Overworld, and there are still terrifying things, this deep space formed by special rules will never disappear.

Nightmares live forever.

Theoretically.

Life trapped in the cycle of nightmares is also immortal.

It's just that no one wants this kind of eternal life......

"Then you've been guarding against me!"

Govia glared.

“……”

Cheng Shen shook his head slightly, he just followed He-Man's warning.

No one believed it.

However, the first time he doubted Govia was when he saw her second side.

Cheng Shen guessed that the devil must have disguised himself as an identity that was very close to him and would not be easily suspected, joined this special nightmare game, and used the most vicious tricks to make him fall into the deepest despair.

And the person closest to him first appeared.

Except for the monsters in the back room.

It's Govia.

Last night, Cheng Shen had confirmed that the monster was not the devil, so the object of suspicion was among the two people, Govia and Yunus.

Govia seems to have taken this into account as well.

Thereupon.

In her previous explorations, she revealed a message to herself, intentionally or unintentionally:

Yunus's architectural peculiarities are that he cannot violate the contract of trade.

This is the nature of the Devil's Pact.

Coincide with.

If Cheng Shen is thinking normally, he will definitely shift his suspicious gaze to Yunus.

But he's not normal......

Or rather.

Cheng Shen implemented the concept of not believing in anyone to the extreme!

The more Govia is induced.

The more suspicious he became!

And how to determine that Govia is the devil is just now.

Cheng Shen had clearly felt it in that peculiar state.

Govia is indeed dead.

But there was no need for him to explain these details to the devil.

Sou!

Cheng Shen raised his hand, and an invisible force immediately sent the two remaining sacrifices next to the ceremony, the blood-stained holy scripture, and the broken white wings to him.

The probability that he can re-encounter this nightmare in the nightmare world is infinitely close to zero.

Case.

These valuable items will not be kept for those who come after.

"Hey, we made a pact that we would get half of what we got in the mist!"

Govia looked at Cheng Shen's harvest with a little blush.

Cheng Shen shook his head, "That's a verbal agreement, our contract only binds us not to attack each other." ”

"Then you still have it! ......" Govia's eyes froze in place when he heard this.

"That's right, if you hadn't dodged me just now, you would have been endlessly chased by the Dream Demon, but unfortunately, you missed the only chance to kill me."

Cheng Shen smiled.

“……”

Govia clenched his eyeballs in his hands and turned ugly.

Bang!

A huge stone brick fell and smashed into the pitch-black pool of unjust souls, causing a wail, and those unjust souls showed faces that were familiar to Cheng Shen, raising their hands unwillingly to drag him into it.

Outside the shattered ceiling, there was an even more shocking scene.

The terrifying figure hidden in the cloud dome came to the sky above the monastery at some point.

It bent over, like a giant in the sky, to examine the tiny dusty world in front of it. Its face was still shrouded in a thick white mist, but Cheng Shen could already look directly at its indescribable body.

Small kiosk

Day trips.

An ancient and obscure title automatically surfaced in Cheng Shen's heart.

It's her name.

Rumble!

It's like heaven and earth are bursting.

Endless white light suddenly filled Cheng Shen's field of vision. A cold aura surged around him, and although he couldn't see it, his perception had automatically depicted all the forms of the terrifying things.

Cheng Shengang's somewhat detached mentality suddenly converged.

In this nightmare, there are still many horrors that he can't provoke......

His soul had just undergone earth-shaking changes through the amplification of the Sage's Heart, and the biggest impact of this change was to make Cheng Shen clearly feel the power of the system even in his nightmares.

Unlock more abilities.

Thereinto.

The most critical energy control talent is that he can turn on it freely!

Swish!

The light is at its best.

The collapsed Nightmare Monastery soared away with a large white mist in the haze, disappearing, and the gray mist quickly filled every area around him, and Cheng Shen had already returned to the place where he had encountered the fog mirage.

Govia, whose demeanor had changed drastically, smiled in front of him, and the two of them were very close, but her smile only made Cheng Shen feel a cold chill.

"You can't attack me, because you haven't found an exit out of here."

Her slender fingers brushed deep cheeks and fell to his chest, behaving like a couple, but with the place where her fingers swiped, the blue-green gray mold quickly crawled all over Cheng's dark golden soul.

His flesh was rotting and growing maggots in the blink of an eye.

"But I can."

Govia said the second half of the sentence in a flirtatious tone.

"Really?"

Cheng Shen was suddenly attacked, but he only asked rhetorically with a fixed expression.

"Huh?"

Govia's smile froze on her face, Cheng Shen's strange reaction made her feel uneasy, her eyes narrowed slightly, and her thoughts quickly recalled everything that happened today in her mind, looking for possible missing points.

"It's impossible to turn the tables again!"

She was sure.

Although he didn't see Cheng Shen reveal his weakness in the nightmare, and take advantage of this to get close to him, become his lover, and then substitute him for death as the person he trusted the most, and taste the delicious despair released by Cheng Shen.

But the initiative of this game is still in her hands.

As she said.

She knew that the exit of the nightmare could destroy the rules of this space at will and strangle Cheng Shen in the cradle.

Govia couldn't think of any hole cards that Cheng Shen hadn't played.

Cheng Shen shook his head with a calm smile and said, "You can hide in Govia's body and use her soul to approach me and confuse me." ”

"Why can't I disguise myself as the real Daniel?"

Half of his face had rotted, revealing white bones, but the smile on his face remained calm.

Can be fast.

His smile turned into a deeply hidden cowardice and panic.
