Although Wang Baole wasn't sure what had happened in the city after he left, and how Lord Appetite had been punished, he could still make a guess.
After all, the distorted orb that Lord Desire had transformed into represented the will of the guardians, and had come to the city to fulfill the bounty offered by the guardians.
Lord Appetite's actions were not only a hindrance, but also a provocation. After helping Wang Baole, he would definitely be punished by the guardians, and would have to pay a price.
The price couldn't be small. Otherwise, Lord Appetite wouldn't have made the decision to give Wang Baole an answer at the last moment.
"Perhaps he chose to lower his head because … he couldn't see any hope." Wang Baole had mixed feelings. Because of the time he had spent here, he had a basic understanding of this world.
In the first level of the world, the almighty beings who had turned into batteries were clearly people who had never submitted. Therefore, they were in an extremely miserable state, and would be constantly absorbed for eternity, unable to escape the sea of bitterness.
As for Lord Appetite and Lord Desire, they had clearly chosen to submit. That was why they had the status they had today, but at the same time … they had to pay a price for submitting.
The price was that they had lost their freedom, and perhaps other things.
As Wang Baole sped through the world, he suddenly thought of Lord Appetite's huge bronze cauldron. Back then, he had said that his true body … was inside that cauldron.
"Perhaps that's one of the prices." Wang Baole sighed. He knew that his appearance was like a ray of hope to Lord Appetite.
It was this ray of hope that made the almighty being, who had once chosen to lower his head and become Lord Appetite, willing to gamble on the future.
The Desire Lord doesn't seem to think that way. There are a few other Desire Lords, but I don't know what they're really thinking … Wang Baole remained silent as he sped up. Three days later, he flew through the forest and walked past the mountain range. Finally, at noon on the fourth day, a desert appeared before Wang Baole's eyes in the distance.
This desert did not seem to be any different from when he had left. It was still desolate, still barren, and still devoid of any signs of life.
Even Wang Baole, who had been separated from his main body, couldn't sense any trace of his main body in this area.
If even he was like this, it was clear that if it were anyone else, they would not be able to sense anything amiss in this place. They would not be able to know that there was a deity that was not much different from the Lord of Desire in this desert.
"The original body is as timid as a mouse. In terms of hiding skills, if he claims to be second, no one would dare to claim to be first." Wang Baole muttered. Just as he was about to fly into the desert, he suddenly stopped at the edge of the desert.
Wang Baole's eyes flashed with a profound light as he pondered. He first turned around to look at the direction of the City of Appetite in the distance. Then, he looked at the desert, where his original body was located in his memory. He remained silent for a long time.
"Although I haven't completed my original body's arrangements and plans, but … I can't help but consider that my original body has changed his mind at the last minute. He doesn't need to send his clone out, but instead, he wants to integrate me into his body."
"If that's the case, I don't know if my original body will accept my promise to the Lord of Appetite." Wang Baole shook his head and took a few steps back. He sat down cross-legged in the desert and lifted his right hand to point at his glabella. Suddenly, his body trembled violently. Numerous Nightmares of Desire spread out from his body and circled around him. Wang Baole formed a seal with his hands and placed his palms together.
"Condense!"
As soon as he spoke, dozens of Nightmares of Desire gathered from all directions and merged together. As the black fog wriggled, they gradually turned into a figure that looked exactly like Wang Baole.
This figure was formed completely from the Nightmares of Desire. The only difference between it and Wang Baole was that its eyes were bright red, as if it were suppressing its madness. It slowly walked toward Wang Baole until it dropped to its knees and kowtowed in front of him.
Wang Baole's eyes narrowed as he lifted his right hand and pushed his finger down onto the Nightmares of Desire's glabella. He sent thirty percent of his will into the Nightmares of Desire, causing the redness in its eyes to fade away. Then, it turned and sped off toward the desert.
Wang Baole sat there cross-legged as he watched the Nightmares of Desire disappear into the distance. Slowly, he closed his eyes and went completely still.
However, a faint vortex appeared around him, which was the power of the magical law of appetite, ensuring that Wang Baole wouldn't be harmed.
Just like that, Wang Baole, who was multitasking, meditated while controlling the Nightmare of Desire in his body. He sped through the desert, slowly approaching the location of his original body in his memories.
Another eight hours passed. In the central region of the desert, Wang Baole's Nightmare of Desire paused and searched around. Finally, it stomped its foot, and its body transformed into a large amount of black fog that burrowed into the sand on the ground. It transformed into countless strands of fog that followed the sand and spread underground.
It spread out very quickly, and in the space of about ten breaths of time, a figure sat cross-legged in a cave that had been dug out deep underground.
The figure didn't emanate even the slightest bit of aura. However, anyone who looked at him would feel their minds trembling, as if they were looking at a divine being.
This was none other than … Wang Baole's true self.
In front of the figure, strands of fog were spreading out from the ground, gathering together to form Wang Baole's Nightmares of Desire. At the same time, Wang Baole's true self slowly opened his eyes.
As his eyes opened, two lightning-like beams of light shot out, enveloping the Nightmares of Desire. The pressure from his gaze caused the Nightmares of Desire to be completely incapable of fighting back. In the blink of an eye, Wang Baole's true self saw everything clearly.
"So, a clone with independent thoughts," Wang Baole's true self said with a smile. "I didn't expect you to learn to not come here in person."
"Well, why did you come back?"
Asked Wang Baole's true self coolly. Retracting his gaze, the Nightmares of Desire was relieved of their pressure. They backed up a few steps, looking at Wang Baole's true self with a complicated expression.
After a moment of silence, the Nightmares of Desire said in a hoarse voice, "I became the Lord of Gluttony in the City of Gluttony. I became a part of the Law of Gluttony …." Suddenly, the Nightmares of Desire's face flickered, and they began to back up, but it was too late.
As soon as Wang Baole's true self heard the first sentence, he looked up and made a grasping motion with his right hand. Instantly, the Nightmares of Desire collapsed. Large amounts of fog dispersed, and Wang Baole's clone's will was grabbed by Wang Baole's true self and pressed into his forehead.
He didn't absorb it, but instead sensed it.
In the next moment, everything that Wang Baole's clone had encountered since he left the City of Gluttony was under the control of Wang Baole's true self.
A moment later, a strange light appeared in the eyes of Wang Baole's true self as he looked at the clone's will in his hand.
