Volume 4, Chapter 76 – Inferno Invasion

Previously, Tianyin herself had actually never thought about why she had come to possess the power of the Seven Original Sins so quickly.

According to Samael, among the powers of the Seven Original Sins, aside from Pride Lucifa, each of the other Original Sins was scattered in some unknown corner of the world.

You could say that with the Seven Original Sins dispersed like this, even if someone really wanted to gather them all, there was no way they could collect three Original Sins in just a few short months…

Before this, Tianyin had simply never considered that there might be something off about all this, but after Heavenly Father brought up that question, doubt finally rose in her heart.

She began to question why she could so “easily” obtain the power of the Seven Original Sins.

Not only that, she even started to doubt why she had been chosen by the System and given that skill called Seven Original Sins.

Was she being used?

Or was she actually just a tool of the System God’s Light Orb?

She could not figure it out, and the more she tried to think it through, the more this whole matter felt like it was shrouded in fog, with not a single clue or lead.

“This is a question you have to think through yourself.”

Seeing Tianyin lost in thought, Heavenly Father continued.

“I suggested you gather the Seven Original Sins because I feel that you possess a strange ability that can let you gather them with ease.”

“Mm… that I can gather the Seven Original Sins… I am not really sure about that myself?”

“There is no need to be sure, Tianyin. Ever since the Seven Original Sins came into being, who knows how many tens of thousands of years have passed. And the concept of the End already existed back when the Creation Dragon God was still alive.”

“But in all those long years, although there were indeed people who tried to gather the Seven Original Sins, in that endless span of time, no one ever succeeded, not even in gathering two of the Seven Original Sins.”

Heavenly Father patiently explained the past stories about the Seven Original Sins to Tianyin, and at his side, Lucifa was also listening to his words with a curious expression.

“In the long years that have passed, people all subconsciously believed that the Seven Original Sins, as the power of the End that existed only as a concept, were simply not something that could be gathered with ease.”

“But… that rule becomes a joke when it comes to you.”

“You have already gathered three of the Seven Original Sins’ powers. On top of that, Pride Lucifa, my daughter, is now together with you as well.”

When he mentioned Lucifa, Heavenly Father also instinctively glanced at his daughter.

Of course, at this moment Lucifa seemed quite lost in thought, and she did not react at all to Heavenly Father bringing her up.

“Wait… Heavenly Father, are you saying I have broken the rule that the Seven Original Sins can never be gathered?”

“That’s right. It is precisely because I saw you break that rule that the Seven Original Sins cannot be gathered, that I think you really might be the first person in history who can gather them all.”

“Wuu…”

Heavenly Father had more than enough reason to say that, but for some reason, Tianyin felt a kind of instinctive rejection toward the idea of gathering the Seven Original Sins.

“I see. But Heavenly Father, why do I have to gather the Seven Original Sins? From what you said, if I can gather them, then I can just slowly wait for the Seven Original Sins to come find me, right?”

That was what she said, but the real reason behind those words was that Tianyin did not want to gather the Seven Original Sins, and she was making a joke.

What surprised Tianyin was that after hearing her joke, Heavenly Father instead nodded with a serious expression.

“Even if you stayed here, it is possible that the Seven Original Sins would still come seek you out… but I do not recommend you do that. After all, if my guess is right, this world… is about to face its greatest crisis.”

“Crisis? Wait, how did the Seven Original Sins get tied up with a crisis again?”

“There is no deliberate direct connection between the Seven Original Sins and the crisis. I suggested you gather the Seven Original Sins so that you will be able to deal with the crisis that is coming.”

After saying something that Tianyin found hard to follow for a moment, Heavenly Father let out a soft sigh.

“You should know that in the years gone by, Inferno has invaded the Main World several times, right?”

“Mm, I know. But every time Inferno invaded, the factions of the Main World joined hands to fend them off… Eh, wait, Heavenly Father, do you mean that next, Inferno will launch an invasion of the Main World like the Graveyard did?”

Tianyin was a bit slow on the uptake, but if she still could not understand under Heavenly Father’s obvious hint, that really would be “stupid”.

“You have guessed it? Good. If nothing unexpected happens, after I die, the Abyssal Lord will once again launch a war to invade the main world, and this time, it will be the hardest invasion war in all history.”

As if he had thought of something bad, Heavenly Father let out another long sigh.

“Compared to the undead of the Graveyard, who only want to kill the living, the demons of Inferno are even more cruel than the undead. They will slaughter every life they see without distinction. While they take other people’s lives, they will also rip out the souls of those who were brutally killed, then begin inhuman torture.”

“So when the Abyssal Lord leads the Inferno demons to begin an invasion of the main world, that will be a catastrophe for the entire world, and no one will be spared.”

Just from Heavenly Father’s description of Inferno, Tianyin already had a very bad impression of what the consequences of an Inferno invasion would be.

After thinking carefully for a moment, Tianyin also understood why Heavenly Father would suggest that she gather the Seven Original Sins.

“Because you know Inferno is about to invade, are you telling me to gather the Seven Original Sins so I can protect this world?”

“I am not.”

Tianyin’s thought was a bit naive when you put it that way.

Of course, Heavenly Father had never thought of making Tianyin gather the Seven Original Sins and then protect the world or anything like that.

“There is also a reason for gathering the Seven Original Sins. Although I do not know what kind of existence the Abyssal Lord really is, I have a hunch.”

“Once the Abyssal Lord comes to the Main World, as soon as the time is right, it will definitely take the initiative to come looking for you.”

“The Abyssal Lord? It will come look for me?”

Tianyin really did not want to believe that, but considering Heavenly Father’s suggestion here, she could not ignore his intuition.

Besides…

If the Abyssal Lord really did come looking for her after the invasion, then it would definitely be aiming for the power of the Original Sins.

While Tianyin was silent, unsure how to answer, Samael, who had been quiet in her mind this whole time, suddenly spoke up.

「Xiaoyin, no matter what, gathering the Seven Original Sins is all benefit and no harm.」

『Mm, got it.』

Samael’s words gave Tianyin her final bit of reassurance. After silently answering Samael in her heart, Tianyin finally nodded.

That counted as her accepting Heavenly Father’s suggestion to proactively gather the power of the Seven Original Sins.
