Devil's Bible

Among the causal inheritances that Xinuo once obtained, there was a method to break through to the Golden Seed level by relying on causality.

Through medicine and rituals, one can reflect on the cause and effect of their entire life.

If one can straighten out this, one can obtain the number of cause and effect, and then use the number of cause and effect to complete the leap to the golden seed.

In this case, Xino would be stronger than a typical gold-type being and would be able to master one or two causal characteristics.

After rejecting becoming a Silver Seed, Xinuo immediately began preparing for his own advancement ceremony.

He should have concocted the potion, gradually perceive the cause and effect, and only performed the ritual after becoming familiar with it to ensure safety.

But now, Xinuo can't wait that long.

He used the war world to obtain some materials, then made some potions, and immediately performed the promotion ceremony.

Throughout the process, the causal relationships within oneself are rapidly activated, and some past events are clearly presented in this process.

Why did things turn out this way? Why did that situation occur?

Upon closer examination, it becomes clear that cause and effect are intertwined throughout this process.

However, by examining the overall cause-and-effect relationships, we can discover the underlying destiny.

Unfortunately, Hino himself does not yet possess that ability; he can only see through the cause and effect in this process.

"I see. If we hadn't killed that person back then, we wouldn't have discovered the fabricated agreement."

"If we hadn't left that footprint, we would have had more time to escape."

Similar sentiments kept rising in Xinuo's mind, and throughout the process, these causes and effects were being rapidly digested.

These are merely causal relationships in decision-making; while important, they don't inherently possess much 'nature'.

In other words, if they had made a different choice, it might have led to a different outcome.

This kind of cause and effect is called neutral cause and effect.

Furthermore, this cause-and-effect relationship has almost ended, and it is unlikely to generate more causes and effects due to a chain reaction.

What Hino should really care about are those causes and effects that have not been 'severed' and are still in a chain.

For example, the cause and effect with the team leader.

The cause and effect of their relationship continues to unfold.

The other person was one of his mentors in the church, and they also came to the Sleeping Town together.

This cause and effect is inextricably linked to him; one part is helping him, propelling him to become a golden seed, while the other part is pulling him back, causing him to stop in his tracks.

Hino then saw more causes and effects.

Klose.

The other person was the one who brought him into the town of Sleeping Souls and had always held pure goodwill towards him.

If it weren't for the other person's presence, it might have taken many times longer for me to integrate into the Sleeping Town.

Not to mention...

Hino's gaze fell upon the silver water beside him.

Through the presence of Kross, a strong causal thread also exists between himself and the Silver Water.

As long as this line is activated, he will find that his karma will be purified and rapidly refined by the power of the silver water.

He can become a golden seed immediately without much preparation.

No wonder Klose called this the best gold medicine.

The silver water can interact with most powers, then quickly purify them, and then pave the way for those who meet the criteria to reach the golden seed.

It's like a universal ladder.

However, at this moment, Xinuo still stubbornly gave up the Silver Water.

Because he knew that once he accepted the Silver Water, he would owe Kross even more.

In this situation, the causal relationship between him and Klose will become even deeper.

This cause and effect is not a good thing.

“I am a member of the Discipline Church, and he is a lackey of the fabricated agreement…” Hino said, then forcibly broke free from the influence of Kross and continued to seek more causal support from himself.

His battles atop the Azure Whale, his studies at the church, the guidance of his teachers, and his family's bloodline—these experiences have all been the strength that has sustained him to where he is today.

These causal forces were quickly orchestrated by Hino.

But not enough.

These causes and effects alone are not enough to form the number of causes and effects.

Hino continued his search and then he saw those experiences.

Before being unexpectedly remembered by her father and thus chosen to join the church.

His life was exceptionally bad and miserable.

His mother was a weaver.

Born into a commoner family, she was somewhat attractive in her youth.

Therefore, they always hoped to use their beauty to achieve upward social mobility.

She then met Xinuo's father and, upon learning that he was a member of the nobility, immediately began to flirt with him.

As a result, it was naturally impossible for Xinuo's father to marry her.

Furthermore, because he also sought the right to inherit the family business, he needed to arrange marriages with other noble members.

If it weren't for the fact that Xinuo's mother was pregnant with him at that time, she probably would have been 'cleansed'.

We can't let her get in the way of the noble lady we're marrying into.

Under these circumstances, it was naturally impossible for Xinuo's mother to succeed in her plan to marry into a wealthy family.

Even Hino was implicated.

They cannot leave the vicinity of their family, but they will not be recognized by the family.

Hino's father would occasionally think of them, and that was when they could receive a few scraps of food as a favor.

They were not allowed to do certain jobs that were not considered respectable, otherwise they would be disgracing their father.

In this situation, their lives are actually worse than those of ordinary people.

The real nightmare, however, is what happens after the children in the 'Madam's' family are born and grow up.

Their malice towards illegitimate children is innate.

Whether it's social status, control of resources, or nominal power.

Once they harbor malice towards Hino, the nightmare begins.

Illegitimate children are, in a sense, the other party's punching bag.

If he's not doing well in his studies, I'll bully him.

He didn't do well in the competition with the other members, so they bullied him again.

Having obtained the happiness of the church, Shinno thought he had long forgotten about these things.

However, he discovered that this cause and effect still deeply affects him to this day.

To be precise, that experience is the fundamental reason for his current devout faith.

He doesn't want to be bullied like this anymore.

The fabricated agreement that destroyed the church and forced him to run around was, to some extent, an overlap with the people who bullied him.

This is why he so vehemently opposes fictitious agreements and even abandons rational thinking.

However, now Xinuo has no choice but to start sorting out this cause and effect.

He needs to analyze it and then understand which parts support him and which parts hinder him.

Through these analyses, Xinuo gradually understood the root of her own obsession.

At that very moment, other causes and effects began to erupt in chaos.

Especially the captain's words, "The root cause of your miserable childhood lies in the environment created by God."

The superiors' neglect of the masses led to the nobility's disregard for those of lower and lower status! (End of Chapter)
