You Yi couldn’t help but gasp, "...massacre?"
At this point, Fan Zhi’s expression also grew solemn.
"The seven Divine Envoys were created to reside in the Divine Realm, replacing the Divine Lord to oversee the Six Realms. But such a monotonous life went on for too long, and even gods would find it tiresome."
"The seven Divine Envoys were born from original sin, and even though the Divine Lord had once purified them, they were still born from original sin."
"Thus, the God of Gluttony, Wu Mian, became voracious; the God of Sloth, Yu Si, turned lazy; the God of Jealousy, Ling Yue, developed envious feelings; and the God of Greed, Ning Yu, gradually became insatiable."
"Only two Divine Envoys did not change. One was the God of Anger, Li Zhi, who remained peaceful and accepting of everything. The other was the God of Lust, Tan Yuan, who appeared to still have no desires or wants."
"The God of Pride, Chen Yin, too seemed unchanged," Fan Zhi said, "but until the disaster struck, everyone realized that perhaps long before, this most powerful god in the Divine Realm had already grown weary of the life in the Divine Realm and the constraints of being a god."
"...Wait a minute," Li Muchen suddenly looked up, "you said the God of Greed, what’s his name?"
"Ning Yu," Fan Zhi tilted her head, asking, "Why, have you heard of him?"
Li Muchen had more than just heard of him.
Ning Yu was the very Pearl Clam Spirit that previously possessed Huo Yu to entangle Shengsheng.
In other words, he wasn’t some Pearl Clam Spirit, he was a god born of greed? Then why did he come to Hell and the Human Realm?
Also, these names Chen Yin and Tan Yuan... why are they so familiar.
Familiar to the extent that just hearing these names spoken by the girl in front of him made Li Muchen feel as if he couldn’t breathe.
Seeing that Li Muchen didn’t respond, Fan Zhi continued, "Even though the seven Divine Envoys had changed, ultimately they hadn’t committed any major wrongdoing, so the Divine Lord said nothing."
"Or rather, the Divine Lord had always treated them as his own children. And with one’s own children, indulgence is inevitable."
"This indulgence is the reason that led to the eventual disaster—the Divine Lord was too lenient with his children."
"Chen Yin’s fall happened without warning, and no one was prepared."
"When she left the Divine Realm, the once pure and immaculate giant white wings behind her had turned black, symbolizing sin."
"Chen Yin first went to the Demon Realm, then the Immortal Realm, the Ghost World, and the Demon World, finally arriving in the Human Realm. Everywhere she went, there were bloody and brutal massacres."
"She killed demons, ghosts, immortals, demons, and humans. A fallen god; the greater the sin, the stronger her power grew, and no one within the Six Realms could stop her. The only one who could stop Chen Yin was the Divine Lord."
You Yi widened his eyes, "Why did Chen Yin become like this?"
"It’s actually not Chen Yin’s fault," Fan Zhi said, "She was born of original sin, and once fallen, she would suffer retaliation from the original sin. Her bloodthirsty and cruel instincts made her unable to stop killing. At the time, perhaps even she couldn’t control herself."
"Or perhaps, I think, she was searching for the meaning of life within the Six Realms, but due to her original sin of pride, she viewed all of creation as ants. Unable to find what she sought, she naturally couldn’t stop."
"Moreover, what was even more outrageous was that at the time, two other gods actually fell to follow Chen Yin."
"One was Ning Yu, the other was Tan Yuan."
"Tan Yuan?" You Yi was stunned, "Didn’t you just say Tan Yuan had no changes, remained without desires or wants?"
"One could say that Tan Yuan only appeared to be without desires or wants, but in fact, he fell even earlier than Chen Yin did."
Fan Zhi said, "You could say he loved her desperately, to the point of being willing to give his life."
