Chapter 798 Before the Story Begins

Under the watchful eyes of the four Blood City Lords, the speed at which the Blood City descended upon the Vast Ocean did not slow down much, but this seemed to be the limit of the Vast Ocean.

When the fifth pair of scarlet eyes opened, crimson lightning appeared in the boundless black mist, and raindrops fell. In the air, they were rain, but when they fell on the citizens of Hanhai, they turned into blood.

"Aging, decay, time, illusion—which blood city is it this time?"

Gao Ming couldn't tell, nor did he have the extra energy to investigate. The blood rain didn't harm the citizens of Han Hai or the ghosts; it just kept flowing into the nightmare, as if it wanted to devour the corpse of the previous Blood City Lord of Han Hai in this way.

With too much of its essence stolen, Blood City will naturally be affected. Not only will it be unable to descend, but Gao Ming and Gao Yun will also eventually be absorbed.

As a Blood City lord focused his attention on the corpse, a tremendous tremor rumbled from within the black mist, and two more pairs of eyes opened in the distant sea of ​​fog.

Of the thirteen blood cities, excluding Han Hai and Xin Hu, as well as the Central Blood City and Dark Blood City which are currently at war, seven blood city lords have set their sights on Han Hai.

Their physical bodies cannot reach it, but their gaze, imbued with the rules of their Blood City, is enough to prevent the Vast Ocean from descending.

"it's over……"

"The vast ocean will never recover and will be plunged into eternal darkness."

"Next is how it gets divided up."

The heart held high in Gao Ming's hand, the resentment and hatred of all the ghosts and monsters in the city, and the flames lit by Gao Yun—all of these were served on the table, like a piece of succulent meat.

"We can hold on a little longer."

“I have experienced moments that were far more desperate than this.”

"There must be a way!"

Gao Ming reached into the chest and pulled out an ordinary clay sculpture from the most hidden corner of the torture chamber. It had no divine power; it was just a pitiful and innocent child, but it had a very warm name: Xiang Nuan.

While being chased by the unspeakable statue in Zhemeng Town, Gao Ming unexpectedly encountered the Underworld Embryo, who had mastered the rules of imperfection, through the Heavenly Gate. At that time, he grabbed a handful of soil from the deserted island and casually sculpted the statue of this child.

The ghost child said that this child was the most useless of all children, with no special abilities, and would bring disaster and misfortune, but Gao Ming still kept it carefully and regarded it as the most precious gift.

"Zhemeng Town was pieced together by Eternal Life Pharmaceuticals from the fragmented dreams of countless patients, representing countless incomplete and regrettable lives. Once the hidden door within Zhemeng Town is opened, it leads directly to the isolated island where you are. Now, Zhemeng Town and Hanhai Blood City have merged, and the two rules of regret and incompleteness have been incorporated into it. As long as Hanhai Blood City successfully descends, you will also have the opportunity to become the lord of Blood City!"

Having exhausted his trump cards and run out of chips, Gao Ming raised his heart high, conveying his truest thoughts to the unborn child through a clay sculpture.

Gao Ming gave his all for this moment, but he did it not to become the lord of Blood City. He was willing to hand over everything to the Underworld Fetus as long as Blood City successfully descended.

From the moment he encountered the unborn child, Gao Ming had this thought in his mind, but he never told anyone.

Something happened between the Unborn Child and the master of the Central Blood City. He would lose control after seeing the number of the master of the Central Blood City, and the curse would erupt and evaporate the black mist.

Gao Ming could see the yearning in his heart—a yearning to be a normal person, a yearning to possess something that the Lord of the Central Blood City possessed. Gao Ming didn't know exactly what that was, but he knew that becoming the Lord of the Blood City would grant him greater power, and with greater power came more choices. "The giant whale carries the lonely island, floating in the black mist, becoming the embodiment of all the world's broken faith. Don't you want to give the world's regrets a place to rest?"

Using the position of Lord of Blood City as bait, Gao Ming wanted to make the Underworld Embryo completely side with Han Hai.

"Once Blood City descends, everything will be yours!"

Amidst the screams tinged with blood, the clay sculpture of Xiang Nuan in Gao Ming's hand looked up at him and sighed softly.

The complete clay sculpture slowly turned into dust. The gazes of the Blood City Lords seemed to sense something and looked towards the deep dream realm of Zhemeng Town, with each gaze focusing on the Heavenly Gate.

The magnificent palaces and pavilions, bathed in rosy light, had their ethereal gates materialize and be pushed open from the inside. Immediately afterward, a black curse surged out like a black tide, instantly engulfing half of Zhemeng Town.

A child's hand slowly emerged from the cursed ocean, transforming into a shadow under the gaze of the Blood City Lord.

The unborn child could roughly sense what Gao Ming had encountered through the clay sculpture, but when he stepped out of the Heavenly Gate and was stared at by the gaze of the Seven Blood City Lords, he was still taken aback.

How could someone cause such a huge disaster?
Shadow originally thought he was the most miserable person in the world, and that anyone who got close to him would become unfortunate. But after meeting Gao Ming, he found that he was the one who was cursed.

"As long as Blood City descends, I will give you my heart, which has burned with the obsession of everyone!"

Gao Ming screamed amidst the rain of blood. He was incredibly direct and sincere; the fetus was rarely treated like this.

"Give it to me?" The ghostly fetus could vaguely see the souls of the dead wrapped around Gao Ming's body. These souls, with their different deaths, all had the same face. He knew very well how much Gao Ming had sacrificed to get to this point: "You have endured so much pain and walked through so much despair, yet in the end you are willing to give this fruit to me?"

"As long as Blood City falls, my only wish is to rebuild the Vast Ocean!"

"Is it worth it?" Standing amidst the curse, the fetus subconsciously asked this question. Only after asking it did he suddenly realize that he had asked Wen Qing the same question before.

Looking at Gao Ming, whose body was festering and aging, whose will was constantly collapsing under the rules of time, yet whose hands were still raised high to hold his heart, the fetus vaguely remembered the woman who knew he was a monster but still protected him behind her. Their lives were filled with a kind of light, and their shadows were illuminated by that light.

“I can help you, but I need to tell you something first.” The fetus pointed to Gao Ming’s torture chamber. The curse penetrated the dream and wrapped around Gao Ming’s heart. A very ordinary chain emerged with extremely complex blood characters after the curse invaded.

The next moment, the voice of the fetus resounded directly in Gao Ming's mind, and only he could hear it: "These days I have been traveling between the Blood Sea and the Illusory Blood City, and I have inadvertently obtained some information. The reason why the young Blood City Master of Xinhu went deep into the Blood Sea was because a fierce god revealed a message to him."

The curse continued to drill into Gao Ming's heart, tightly binding the chain, as if forcing him to make a move.

"After the Blood City Lord of Xinhu left, this evil god destroyed the passage and blocked communication, watching as other Blood Cities gradually tested Xinhu Blood City, leading to Xinhu being occupied by the unspeakable forces of other Blood Cities."

"He knew very well that the master of Xinhu would return sooner or later. In his plan, the entire Xinhu Blood City was used as bait, and the real target was Hanhai. That evil god wanted to become the master of Hanhai Blood City, and you were his pawn."

"You are someone who should not be here. He forcibly changed your fate. You could say that all your pain and despair stem from his plan. In order to prevent you from noticing anything, he even made you forget your own name."
