Chapter 1168: Sin
The three ritualists were bound tightly by the power of sin, and they howled miserably as if their bodies were being crushed bit by bit by an invisible millstone.
“—As expected.”
Aiwass watched the enemy who attacked him suffer, but there was no smile on his face.
The power of Sin-Bound, at its core, is the power of control and judgment based on moral judgment, the ultimate manifestation of the Fallen Angel's power of sin and punishment—anyone harboring mortal sin cannot escape the bondage and torment of their sin. Even without mortal sin, it remains an extremely strong chain.
The more sinful one is, the stronger the power of sin that binds them becomes... the stronger the chains, the more painful the torture.
The mortal sins here do not refer to the laws of the country, nor do they have anything to do with one's own moral sense. Its determination is very vague, because the law of "mortal sin" is based on the shaping of the Fallen Angels.
But no one knew what He defined as "capital sin" when He ascended to Godhood. The Fallen Angels never taught this knowledge to their followers in the material world. It could be said that He deliberately concealed the specific criteria to prevent thorough study.
All that ritualists have been able to figure out over the years are a few major taboos that are condemned by both humans and gods, such as "using one's own kind as ritual materials" and "eating one's own kind."
And according to Aiwass's judgment... in this damned desert, there couldn't be many innocent people. Especially ritualists... although there were also ritualists of the Pure Sect who swore not to use materials from their own race, not to kill, and not to curse.
But it was obvious that these ritualists who were sent out to kill people and massacre the city could not be Pure Ritualists, so Aiwas knew without even looking that they would be plagued by sin.
——It is the only designated must-eat dish in the ancient Parthia Kingdom.
If they have no mortal sins, they will be dragged into a deep coma by the power of their sins; if they have committed mortal sins, they will be punished as if they were trapped in the eighteen levels of hell.
In fact, this was the original responsibility of the Fallen Angels.
The law of degeneration is to make him separate the souls of the material world into good and evil, thereby producing more changes; and because there are good and evil, sins need to be punished, and with changes, this change can be allowed to circulate stably - let good people degenerate into evil people, and let evil people atone their sins and become good people. This is the complete law of sin that conforms to the concept of "the source of change".
In addition to granting him the power of corruption, the source river also granted him the power of sin and punishment, requiring him to establish a "hell" in the dream world, screening out the souls of sinners and punishing them. If a soul cannot be purified, it can be transformed into a demon, thus lingering in the dream world and not participating in the cycle... Thus, the proportion of good and evil souls in the material world is constantly changing, thus causing changes.
This was the judgment given to the Fallen Angel as Lucifer.
All I can say is that there was nothing wrong with Yuanhe’s original plan.
No matter how you look at it, this is in line with the needs of the Source River of Change, and it is likely to produce infinite variables in the material world.
However, the Fallen Angels were unsure – they simply didn't want to become one. So, they ignored Genhe and used the power of the "Sin" element of Sin and Punishment to create their own Great Palace of Fallen Sin, creating their own demon army.
He is responsible only for the corruption of mankind, but does not punish sin or purify the soul. As souls are reincarnated generation after generation, more and more "original sin" is incorporated into them. This is the main reason for the gradual decline of morality in the material world.
This is just like the Shadow Heavenly Division, who all performed their duties again according to their own understanding.
The Shadow God was originally responsible for giving betrayers and avengers the power to complete their conspiracies or revenge, thereby creating variables in the society of the material world and allowing the races in the material world to self-iterate, thus becoming the God of "Shadow" with "hate" as the foundation, which is the opposite of love.
Where there is moon, there is moon shadow.
The reason why Shadow Celestial Being can serve as the Celestial Being of the Path of Love with such a strange domain is because she herself is the completion of Hengwo's authority - the act of "love" can create from the level of reproduction, but the motivation of love is not enough to defeat the beast; but hatred can.
However, Ying Tiansi refused to give power to the betrayer because of his own likes and dislikes.
Because she herself occupies the realm of betrayal, she cannot give birth to a new angel of betrayal... and because of this, betrayers can only seek power from the transcendent path that also pursues chaos. However, not all avengers and betrayers have lofty ideals, so this search is many times more difficult.
After all, the sole purpose of the Source River is to maintain and expand its own inherent concept. As for the survival of civilization itself, perhaps only the Third and Sixth Source Rivers are concerned.
The Celestial Gods weren't purely good or evil; they had their own preferences. Whether it was a Pillar God supporting an apostle to create a Celestial God, or a wild phantom demon resonating with the Source River... after receiving the power of the Source River, they had the right to use it according to their own ideas.
Anyway, once Yuanhe gave away the Tianshi fragment, he couldn't take it back. And as long as a concept existed, no new Tianshi could be born.
——The result was that thousands of years had passed before the Night Devil finally carried out the most essential order of the "Fragment of Fall and Sin" for the first time: to punish the wicked.
The work that was arranged by the Source of Change eight thousand years ago has finally been completed!
Because of this, Night Demon suddenly felt the resonance of the Tao—
The power of transcendence was continuously injected into her body, allowing her level, which had just been raised to level 51 after the limit of the transcendence path was broken not long ago, to rise rapidly... She even injected the power into Aiwas' body!
A deep purple glow instantly shone from the depths of Aiwass's pupils, a manifestation of complete resonance with the Transcendental Path. The depth of his Path was increasing at a visible rate, as if he had accomplished something that perfectly adhered to the principles of the Path.
Feeling the power filling his body, he was shocked and touched his eyes.
——Evans really didn't know what extraordinary act he had done.
It was just a punishment for three extremely evil ritualists, how could it inexplicably trigger the resonance of the Tao!
"...It seems that the Snake Father wants me to kill them."
Aiwass couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth and smiled happily.
At his level, the amount of free experience required to advance one level was too great. Relying solely on learning and acquiring transcendental knowledge to advance levels was too slow. Only by completing great deeds in the practice of the Tao could one rapidly advance levels within a few months, or even weeks.
"What are you going to do with them, Master?"
Vignes inquired.
"Torture them for a while longer, then transform them into demons—and then let them turn around and attack the good man. That'll be a reward for one's actions."
Aiwass ordered ruthlessly: "Just killing them would be too easy for them."
