Volume 4, Chapter 75 – Coincidence?

Lucifa’s sudden appearance made Tianyin immediately think that things had gotten really serious.

However…

What surprised Tianyin though was that Lucifa didn’t, as she had imagined, burst into tears and make a scene the moment she learned Heavenly Father was going to die.

On the contrary, Lucifa’s reaction seemed unusually gentle.

Although Lucifa didn’t deny that she hated Heavenly Father, in the end she still called Heavenly Father her father, and for the first time in a long while, she even called him “dad”.

“In the end, you already knew?”

Looking helplessly at Lucifa, Heavenly Father said this, a wry smile appearing on his face at the same time.

“I originally wanted to hide this from you, but since you’ve heard it, I won’t conceal anything anymore… But, my daughter, this is the one thing I can’t go back on, because my life is already about to reach its end.”

As the leader of the Sanctuary, even facing his own impending death, Heavenly Father didn’t show a trace of fear.

Unlike the Black Dragon King, who had crazily begged for mercy at the moment of his death, Heavenly Father showed Tianyin what it meant to face life and death with complete detachment.

“I understand.”

Hearing Heavenly Father’s words, Lucifa wiped the tear tracks from her face and forced a rather strained smile.

“Dad must’ve thought I’d cry, but Mom said Lucifa, I’m a strong child… so I won’t cry.”

“That’s right, before I knew it, little Lucifa has already become a strong, good girl.”

Heavenly Father smiled in relief.

“Being able to see my strong daughter at the end of my life is probably my final consolation…”

After saying this, Heavenly Father once again shifted his gaze to Tianyin, who had been silently watching the interaction between father and daughter.

“Since I can’t hide it, then let’s leave that matter be… However, I didn’t call you here just to talk about this.”

“Eh?”

Tianyin widened her eyes, looking completely puzzled.

“Besides this, there’s something else?”

“There is, and it’s even somewhat related to you.”

“Wuu, r-really?”

Tianyin felt a bit curious inside.

After all, judging from Heavenly Father’s expression, it really seemed like he had something to entrust.

“Mm, before this, I don’t know if you’ve ever heard of the End.”

The End.

Back in her battle with the Black Dragon King, Tianyin had already become deeply curious about the word “the End”.

If she hadn’t become interested in that existence called the End back then, she wouldn’t have ended up forgetting the duration of the Seven Original Sins during the fight.

“Mm… Actually, before that I didn’t know what the End was, but in the battle with the Black Dragon King, I did learn a bit about the End.”

Recalling the way the Black Dragon King had described the End to her, Tianyin answered truthfully.

“Although I have a rough idea that the End requires gathering the Seven Original Sins, I feel like something like gathering the Seven Original Sins is just way too far off for me…”

“The Black Dragon King? I didn’t expect he’d still be in the mood to talk to you about that. However, although the Black Dragon King is of the dragon race, what it knows about the End is actually still rather one-sided.”

Heavenly Father said patiently.

“The power of the End is indeed formed by the Seven Original Sins. But the Seven Original Sins belong to the End, they are not the entirety of the End’s power. You have to understand that.”

“Eh? So the Seven Original Sins aren’t all of the End’s power?”

In that instant, Heavenly Father’s explanation overturned what the Black Dragon King had previously said about the End. Although both of them were Throne-tier, Tianyin was still more inclined to believe what Heavenly Father said.

“That’s right, the End’s power contains the Seven Original Sins, and if my guess isn’t wrong, you currently have three different Original Sin powers in your body, don’t you?”

“Mm… I do have three.”

So this was Heavenly Father being Heavenly Father. Even at a time like this, he could still see how many Original Sins were in her body… Of course, it was also possible that he’d already noticed long ago.

“So it really is like that… Tianyin, although I don’t know exactly what the Black Dragon King told you back then, I want to give you a piece of advice now.”

When he brought up his advice, Heavenly Father’s expression grew serious.

“And that is, I hope you can take the initiative to go and gather the Seven Original Sins.”

“Wait… take the initiative to gather them?”

She had just been wondering in her heart what kind of suggestion Heavenly Father would make, and in the next second Tianyin heard Heavenly Father suggest that she directly gather the Seven Original Sins.

For a moment, Heavenly Father’s approach was something Tianyin really couldn’t make sense of.

“Gather the Seven Original Sins… Isn’t that a bit difficult… The world is so big, wouldn’t it take me forever to gather all of the Seven Original Sins?”

Although she already possessed the three Original Sin powers of Wrath, Greed, and Gluttony, Tianyin still felt that she had only gotten these powers thanks to good luck, through various “accidents and coincidences”.

After all, there was Wrath sealed inside the Job Change Scroll, Greed on the Undead Grand Duke, and Gluttony on the catgirl Yeluo.

Without exception, all of these Original Sin powers had fallen into her hands through coincidences.

Of course, Lucifa, as Pride, was already by her side, but Tianyin still understood that Lucifa’s power of Pride could not be taken away.

After all, Yeluo had fallen into her current near-death state precisely because she had forcibly given Tianyin the power of Gluttony.

“Hard? For you, gathering the Seven Original Sins isn’t hard at all.”

To Tianyin’s surprise, Heavenly Father flatly denied her assessment.

“Do you perhaps think that the fact three of the Seven Original Sins’ powers have all ended up with you is just an extremely ‘coincidental’ thing?”

“Mm… it is pretty coincidental, right…”

Tianyin didn’t really understand what Heavenly Father was trying to say, but she still followed along with his words and replied.

“Exactly. Haven’t you ever thought about why all of these coincidences happened to you, and not to anyone else?”

“That…”

Hearing Heavenly Father’s words, Tianyin couldn’t help but think of the skill called 【Seven Original Sins】 that the System God’s Light Orb had specially prepared for her in her attribute bar.

“Wait… does that mean none of this was a coincidence?”

“That’s something you’ll have to judge for yourself. All I can do is point out where something seems off.”

He didn’t answer Tianyin’s question; Heavenly Father was just saying that this was something only Tianyin herself could figure out.

“Wuu… so that’s how it is?”

Even though Heavenly Father hadn’t answered her question, as Tianyin thought about it, she began to feel uneasy about why she had been able to gather the Seven Original Sins in such a coincidental way.

She felt uneasy.

That’s right.

At the end of the day, the speed at which she was gathering the Seven Original Sins was just too fast.

From Wrath being activated at the Northern Fortress to now, when she already had three of the Seven Original Sins, only a little over four months had passed…
