Chapter 1014: The Poet of the Spring Fighting Department
"I think I understand..."
Recalling the structure of Heaven Mountain and the Abyssal Hundred Prisons, Liang frowned and said:
"Heaven Mountain is probably a cone with its apex pointing upward, so when angels die within its range, the part of them that belongs to 'soul' and 'goodness' rises and eventually condenses into a body in the Pool of Rebirth at the summit, where they revive.
The Abyssal Hundred Prisons, on the other hand, is an inverted funnel, so when demons die within its range, the bodies that house 'original sin' are decomposed and sink continuously, eventually condensing into new demons at some mudflat, right?"
"Exactly! That's exactly what you mean!"
After listening to Liang's description, the Black Sheep couldn't help but nod repeatedly and, unusually, flatter him, saying with admiration:
"Amazing! You've never been to Heaven Mountain or the Abyssal Hundred Prisons, yet just by listening to me, you understood the operational principles of these two planes. You're truly impressive!"
"..."
Thank you, but being flattered by an illiterate demon doesn't give me much of a sense of achievement...
Liang reached out to pinch the Black Sheep's horns, pulling it out of the steamer. While rinsing the pot, he asked:
"So, what's the connection with Meilanie's past life?"
"It's a big connection!"
Seeing that Liang still didn't understand, the Black Sheep, placed to one side, couldn't help but speak up:
"Your sister can easily see through my essence, which proves her rank is higher than mine. She must be a demon god who has mastered at least one original sin.
However, according to the rules of the Abyssal Hundred Prisons, all powers and ranks are condensed in the body. Once a demon dies, its body sinks and is eventually recovered along with its rank, to be reshaped into a new demon with a different soul."
"So what?"
"So there's something very wrong!"
The Black Sheep gestured urgently:
"Being able to see through me proves that your sister's soul is above mine in essence. But according to the rules of the Abyssal Hundred Prisons, a demon's rank is dependent on its body. So, a demon that can see through me must have a demon god-level body! But your sister is just a regular human! Isn't that strange?"
"..."
"Also, even a demon god who has mastered an original sin will have its body and power sink after death, while its soul will be suppressed by the rules of the Abyssal Hundred Prisons and become a currency-like existence that can be collected, used, or even absorbed and consumed. No demon god-level soul would be preserved.
Your sister's soul strength may not be high, but her rank is genuinely demon god-level. Therefore, she must not have died in the Abyssal Hundred Prisons but somewhere else, and she successfully preserved her soul and condensed a new body... doesn't that sound familiar?"
Preserving the soul and condensing a new body... the Pool of Rebirth?
Wait?!!!
Hearing this, Liang finally understood. He turned to look at the Black Sheep with surprise and asked:
"An original sin great demon? The one killed by the nine archangels and then soaked in the Pool of Rebirth, polluting the entire Heaven Mountain?"
"Right!"
Nodding vigorously, the Black Sheep said with a complex expression:
"There are only so many demon gods, and the number of those who lost their bodies and died is also limited. The only demon god who could possibly retain a high-rank soul after losing its body is that... that Great Lord."
"That's not right?"
After pondering for a moment, Liang said somewhat disbelievingly:
"If Meilanie's past life was that original sin great demon, she should have been turned into an angel after soaking in the Pool of Rebirth. But I've checked her condition, and both her body and soul are the purest of humans!"
You're so dense!
Seeing Liang still stubbornly trying to find evidence to prove that his sister's past life was not a demon, the Black Sheep couldn't help but snort:
"Angels who soak in the Pool of Rebirth revive as angels, but that doesn't mean demons do the same. Besides, no demon god has ever died in the Pool of Rebirth before. Who knows what they would turn into if they did?
"However, the intensity of the soul..."
"The Pool of Rebirth only revives the 'Good' part; it doesn't concern itself with the 'Evil.'"
Understanding what Liang wanted to say, the Black Sheep explained directly:
"Demons, although embodiments of 'Evil,' are not entirely devoid of 'Good.' It's just that the 'Good' part is extremely rare. When humans receive a small amount of kindness, they might develop even more kindness in return. However, for demons, the same amount of kindness might only result in a tiny fraction, perhaps even less, and it would quickly be overshadowed and suppressed by a greater evil."
After explaining the situation with demons, the Black Sheep narrowed its eyes and speculated:
"As the only Great Demon who spanned all seven deadly sins, the Primal Sin Great Demon who died on Heaven Mountain must have had her 'Good' part compressed to the limit, leaving only the smallest, most basic unit—equivalent to the soul strength of an ordinary human. If my guess is correct, when cornered by the Nine Angels, the Primal Sin Great Demon called upon the Evil Pus and plunged into the Pool of Rebirth, dying there. Her last remaining unit of 'Good' was revived by the still-functional Pool of Rebirth, becoming your sister. Her demonic nature, however, counteracted the angelic body granted by the Pool of Rebirth, leaving her with only the strength of an ordinary human... This is the only way to explain why she retains the status of a demon but has a body and soul that are merely human."
"..."
"Also, I've figured out your sister's situation... not the younger one, but the older one."
The Black Sheep curled its tongue a couple of times, pulled out a pack of Got cigarettes with a sheep's head logo, and skillfully tapped one out with its tongue, then tilted its head to light it on the stove. After taking a deep drag, it exhaled a puff of smoke and said:
Seeing Liang's eyes widen in shock, the Black Sheep, with a cigarette in its mouth, spoke with certainty:
"Your brother, though of West Carla ville Kingdom lineage, is only so in terms of his physical bloodline. In essence, he is a special race that can directly perceive the Root. Your younger sister, on the other hand, is a unique case—her 'Good' thoughts from the Primal Sin Great Demon were revived in the Pool of Rebirth, making her difficult to classify as human. As for you... well... although I haven't figured out your exact origins, you are even less human than the two of them, which is why you were pulled in by the abnormal object created by your sister."
After subtly insulting Liang, seeing his eyes widen in shock, the Black Sheep couldn't help but puff out a smoke ring, then said smugly:
"How about it? Impressed by my knowledge..."
"You're illiterate?!"
"?!?!"
"You're the one who's illiterate! Your whole family is illiterate!"
Not expecting to receive anything but astonishment and praise, the Black Sheep was instantly enraged.
"I just prefer to write with my soul using demon script and find human symbols and letters too stupid to bother with! Who told you I'm illiterate?"
