Chapter 171 The Lord of Sin merges with the God of the Seven Deadly Sins
"Seven—seven divine rings!" The Snow Empress couldn't help but exclaim, her soul body trembling slightly from extreme shock. The far north had also given birth to gods, namely the legendary Ice God, so the Snow Empress's inherited memories also contained fragments about the divine realm.
The impact of witnessing this firsthand is beyond compare.
Legend has it that the gods in the divine realm are also divided into ranks, and the number of halos behind a god is the symbol of their rank.
Those with nine halos are god-kings, such as the God of Destruction, the Goddess of Life, and the God of Asura.
Those with seven halos are first-level gods, such as the Seven Deadly Sins, the Seven Elemental Gods, the Angel God, the Sea God, etc.
The five-ringed halo represents a second-level deity, such as the God of War, the Nine-Colored Goddess, and the God of Food.
The three rings represent a level three god. Below that, those without divine rings are merely divine messengers who possess level one hundred divine power but lack a true divine position.
Seven divine halos—she knew perfectly well what they meant. They were the symbol of a first-level deity! A being second only to the God-King! A true supreme god standing at the pinnacle of power and strength in the divine realm!
And right now, there are seven of them!
A storm raged within Dai Youheng's heart, but he maintained excellent composure, his pupils contracting slightly. He gripped Xue Di's hand tightly, feeling the slight tremor in her fingertips. He took a deep breath, quickly regaining his composure, his sharp gaze sweeping over the seven figures.
Although he had never seen them before, he could confirm their identities from the powerful aura emanating from them—a different aura that also originated from the source of the universe.
God of Pride, God of Envy, God of Wrath, God of Sloth, God of Greed, God of Gluttony, God of Desire!
Under the God of Destruction, Mohism, are the Seven Deadly Sins, who wield the fundamental negative laws of the universe!
Facing these seven supreme beings, Dai Youheng bowed slightly, offering a respectful greeting, and spoke in a steady voice, "This mortal, Dai Youheng, greets the seven venerable gods of original sin. May I ask why you, venerable gods, have used your spirit-capturing techniques to bring my soul and the Snow Emperor's soul here?"
His performance caused a barely perceptible hint of surprise to flash in the eyes of the seven gods on the throne. For a mortal soul master to be able to remain calm so quickly and even dare to ask questions when suddenly faced with seven first-level gods was no ordinary feat.
The God of Pride sat high on his throne, his voice carrying an innate air of superiority, as if stating an unspoken truth: "Boy, haven't you realized yet? It wasn't us who sought you, but rather the aura emanating from your Demon Core and Demon Tiger Martial Soul that drew us here. Both of your twin Martial Souls bear the power of original sin, especially the Heavenly Demon Core, which nearly encompasses the rudiments of seven primordial evil thoughts."
Dai Youheng remained calm, but inwardly he understood. His opponent was a first-level god who wielded the laws; it wasn't surprising that he could see through the essence of Dai Youheng's martial soul. His current strength was weak, and it was perfectly normal for him to be looked down upon by a main god; he was well aware of this.
At this moment, the laziest god, whose posture was the most relaxed and who seemed ready to fall asleep at any moment, spoke. He didn't even bother to open his eyes; only his lips moved slightly, and his voice carried a lazy, magnetic quality, "About two years ago, a strange thing happened in the divine realm—a crack in the sky inexplicably appeared."
"Two years ago?" Dai Youheng and Xue Di were both shocked at the same time. This was the time when Dai Youheng had traveled to!
Before they could ponder further, the God of Wrath slammed his fist on the armrest of his throne. His terrifying rage seemed to tremble throughout the entire temple. He roared, "All because of this damned Heavenly Scar! We were just about to investigate when the entire divine realm was subjected to some unknown means, instantly hypnotized by everyone, from the God-Kings down to the divine messengers—not one was spared! To this day, several God-Kings remain trapped in their slumber!"
"What?" Dai Youheng was truly shocked this time. Hypnotized the entire God Realm in an instant? Even the five God Kings were not spared? What incredible power this was? He instantly remembered the promise of the mysterious voice that sent him here: Tang San would not be able to interfere with this realm for five years.
So that's the root of the problem! The god-kings are all asleep, so naturally they can't interfere. As for why it's five years, presumably one day in the divine realm is equivalent to one year on earth, so the hypnosis would last for five divine realm days?
But he immediately noticed a contradiction: if even the God-King hadn't awakened, why were the Seven Deadly Sins—
The God of Greed's eyes, which seemed to gleam with the light of gold coins, appeared to see through his doubts and replied, "Are you wondering why we were able to awaken before the God-King? It's strange, but during those two days of slumber, the seven of us shared a dream. It was that strange power in the dream that pulled us back from our slumber."
"A dream?" Xue Di was even more puzzled. What kind of dream could have such divine power?
The god of desire leaned back lazily, his gaze lingering on Dai Youheng's handsome face with interest. He chuckled, "It's all related to this dashing little brother. In the dream, this little brother perfectly merged with the original sin laws of the seven of us, ascending to an unprecedented divine position and becoming the supreme being who holds the reins of all evil. It was this resonant power from the future that awakened us. If we're not mistaken, it wasn't an ordinary dream, but a prophetic one."
The voice of the God of Envy carried a complex meaning, a mixture of longing for that power and a hint of bitterness. "We, the Seven Deadly Sins, though subordinate to the God King of Destruction, should ultimately share a true supreme ruler—a supreme deity capable of completely fusing the seven fundamental laws of the dead into one! His title should be the God King of the Deadly Sins, or the Ruler of Sin!"
The God of Arrogance pointed at Dai Youheng once more, his voice resolute and unequivocal, carrying an undeniable judgment: "And you, boy, you are the one with the potential to become the ruler of evil! Your martial spirit is proof of that!"
Upon hearing this, Xue Di instinctively gripped Dai Youheng's hand tightly, her fingertips turning slightly white from the force. Sinful Lord!
A being that combines the power of the seven deadly sins and surpasses the seven first-level gods! What a terrifying rank that would be!
It should be noted that the Seven Original Sins were already at the level of chief gods, so this Lord of Sin is probably at least at the level of a true god-king! The impact of this news was even greater than that of facing the seven chief gods themselves.
Dai Youheng's heart was already surging like a volcano, but the more intense the moment, the more he forced himself to remain calm. He took a deep breath, suppressing his turbulent emotions, and his voice remained steady, "So, the gods have brought me here today to guide me through the divine trials of the sovereign of evil?"
The God of Gluttony laughed heartily, his voice booming like thunder. "That's right! Your idea of endlessly consuming pills is absolutely impossible for your mortal body. A mortal body has its limits; excessive energy will only cause you to explode! But if you can inherit my Gluttony Law, you can break the shackles of this realm! Gluttony is the power to contain all things, to devour and transform! At that time, let alone two pills, even twenty or two hundred, as long as your body and soul can withstand it, you can devour them all. If your Ice-Fire Body Refining Pills can be infinitely stacked, your power will be inexhaustible!"
These words were like the most intense flames, instantly igniting all the ambition in Dai Youheng's eyes! An infinite stacking of pills? What terrifying power that would be!
However, the Goddess of Desire timely poured cold water on the situation. She smiled sweetly, but her tone carried a dangerous glint in her eyes, "However, handsome little brother, I must remind you, your test as the Lord of Sin is equivalent to being tested by all seven of us simultaneously. While it won't be as exaggerated as each of us testing you nine times, each of us will test you at least once or twice. The Lord of Sin doesn't have any concept of divine affinity; you must gain the approval of our seven original sin laws. After you complete the tests given to you by each of us, you will face the final ultimate test of fusing the power of all original sins."
She extended two slender fingers, smiling, and said, "The difficulty is beyond your imagination. More importantly—" Her smile deepened and became dangerous, "We, the Gods of Original Sin, are not benevolent gods who pity the world. The consequences of failing our trials are far more severe than death. You will experience true torment worse than death, your soul scorched by the fires of original sin. Even—"
Her gaze swept meaningfully towards Xue Di beside Dai Youheng. "This pure and innocent young lady beside you will probably be implicated as well. It's not too late to refuse now. Little brother, you should think carefully about whether you dare to accept this favor."
The pressure instantly descended like a mountain. The Seven Deadly Sins Divine Trial! The terrifying consequences of failure! It might even implicate the Snow Empress!
The temple was silent. The eyes of the seven original sin gods were all focused on Dai Youheng, awaiting his answer. Xue Di also looked at him nervously, her palms, which were covered in cold sweat, as she held his hand.
