Chapter 333 The Sin of the Sword God

"The Sword God and the Twelve Sword Maidens, Thirty-six Sword Servant, and Seventy-two Sword Slaves had a battle that lasted for several months. However, some of the Thirty-six Sword Servant and Seventy-two Sword Slaves also followed the Sword God, but their number was very small."

Dai Min's eyes stared straight at the wall, as if he had traveled through hundreds of years.

"In fact, I am one of the thirty-six sword servants," Dai Min's voice was still emotionless, but what he said was shocking, "I was also one of the disciples of the Sword Sect who followed the Sword God and rebelled against the Twelve Sword Ladies."

Wu Keqi said: "But, didn't the disciples of the Sword Sect all get into trouble? How come you are okay?"

"Because the Sword God used up all his power to seal my soul, I am not affected by the divine punishment."

Dai Min sighed as he spoke, and then continued, "That battle was a bloody one. The Sword God did not hold back, and all twelve sword maidens died. The remaining sword servants and sword slaves also fled in all directions, hiding in unknown places to linger, secretly eating humans to practice...

“But the Sword God spent decades to find them all and killed them all.

“At that time, the Sword God was no longer able to suppress the pollution in his body. Sometimes he would close his nine orifices, five senses, three souls and seven spirits to expel the pollution. But he once told us that even with his ability to prove the sword, he couldn’t expel it completely. He could only slow down the speed at which his soul and spirit were completely polluted.

"Later, we kept looking for survivors and building villages.

"Luckily, a fellow Taoist who is good at poisonous insects has cultivated a black golden beetle. I don't know if you have seen it, a black beetle. This beetle was originally a poisonous insect that feeds on blood and flesh, but with the efforts of that fellow Taoist, the black golden beetle has become a creature that eats red soil and spits out pure soil. Thanks to it, everyone finally doesn't have to eat those rotten stored grains, and the Land of Divine Punishment... can finally grow food."

Hearing this, Wu Ke nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, as if he was still frightened: "I've seen them before! They are really big, and they come in groups, densely packed together. They look scary!"

Dai Min said, "That's them. Although they look scary, they are indispensable to every tribe nowadays. If you want to survive in the Land of God's Punishment, you have to raise them."

The Jade Emperor, however, was more concerned about past history: "What happened next? How did the Sword God die?"

Dai Min replied: "He committed suicide."

The answer was quite unexpected, yet somehow reasonable.

Yes, no matter how embarrassed the Sword God is, he is still a God! He was the only God who achieved enlightenment in Tiangui Mountain! He achieved the sword path of killing! If he didn't commit suicide, who could really kill him?

Wu Ke scratched his bald head, a little confused: "Why commit suicide?"

The Jade Emperor guessed, "He's probably afraid that he will eventually be polluted to the point of being completely out of control, and no one will be able to kill him!"

Dai Min nodded and said, "That is indeed the reason. However, although the Sword God committed suicide, he did not really lose his soul. He peeled off his three souls and seven spirits, sealed my soul with the sky soul, and forged a magic sword with the earth soul to protect everyone. As for the living soul... In order to prevent himself from becoming a monster, he killed his own living soul with his own hands.

"As for the seven spirits, they followed his cultivation and were dispersed into spiritual energy, feeding back to the earth.

"The Sword God said that this is to atone for our sins... to atone for our arrogance and the sin of thinking we could deceive the heavens and create gods..."

After hearing the whole story, the Jade Emperor and Wu Ke both had complicated feelings towards the Sword God.

This person... or rather, this god, seems to be very evil, using human hearts to refine the sword and using human brain oil to maintain the scabbard. No matter how you listen to him, he must be an unforgivable pervert. But when he was trapped in the Tiangui Mountain area, he behaved in a way that was very different from his usual behavior. It was really complicated.

Nietzsche and others, who had eavesdropped on the entire process, were silent for a while and then began to discuss.

Guan Tang Bao even went straight to the heart of the matter: "However, it sounds like his so-called atonement is also about Yinglong, not his evil deeds such as enjoying human sacrifices?"

King Bamboo Grass said hesitantly: "But a gentleman judges deeds rather than hearts. No matter what sins he wants to atone for, objectively he did protect many ordinary people."

Guan Tang Bao raised his voice, a little emotional: "If the appearance of the Soul Devouring Rift and the entrapment in Tiangui Mountain are really the 'divine punishment' caused by their Sword Sect's desire to revive Yinglong, then those ordinary people are innocent people who were affected by the disaster. All the dead were also implicated by their Sword Sect. He has no face to say whether to protect them or not!"

King Bamboo Grass was immediately convinced: "That makes sense!"

"But soul separation is not something that ordinary people can do."

What is puzzling is that the person who spoke for the Sword God was actually the Jade Emperor, who had been extremely angry and wanted to grind the Sword God into ashes.

I only heard him talking in the group microphone: "I listened to the senior sister's class more. She once said that few people can bear the pain of soul separation, not even immortals. If it is forcibly separated, once the heavenly soul and earthly soul are gone, the living soul will be filled with resentment. Therefore, many evil demons use this method to refine evil spirits and use them for their own purposes. The Sword God is so cruel that he can separate his three souls and six spirits by himself, and he has not become an evil ghost...hiss...I dare not even think about it! His will is too strong!"

Wu Ke casually interjected: "Otherwise, he would have achieved enlightenment and become a sword god!"

Guan Tang Bao disagreed and said, "That can't offset the sin of killing people just now!"

The Jade Emperor said helplessly: "I didn't say it was offset! I just said that this person is really complicated!"

As they were sighing with emotion, Renxin Huadao's excited voice suddenly appeared in the team channel: "The teleportation array was successful! Shit! How come the distance is even farther! I can't even go back to Ruhua!"

The Jade Emperor, who knew the truth, was very shocked: "Huh? Tiangui Mountain, the so-called 'land of divine punishment', can actually be equipped with a teleportation array!?"

You know, since Fang Xianyu gave them the task of investigating the Sword Sect, it proves that Fang Xianyu himself is not clear about the reasons behind it.

In other words, the Soul-Devouring Rift and the unknown red fog that caused the current situation of Tiangui Mountain are definitely things that even Fang Xianyu cannot deal with - or if they can be dealt with, they are very tricky.

Because if she could really handle things here easily, she wouldn't let the players, puppets without souls, come to investigate. She would definitely find out more clearly if she came in and took a look around. Besides, even the Sword God back then was powerless to do anything about it. It wasn't the Jade Emperor who was singing the praises, but Fang Xianyu... Could he really be more powerful than the Sword God back then? I'm afraid not?

Therefore, it was a complete surprise to him that a usable teleportation array could be set up in the so-called "Land of God's Punishment"!

and……

"If the teleportation array can be used, does that mean we can rescue all these people!?"

The next second, Nietzsche said what the Jade Emperor was about to say.
