Chapter 228
The so-called Inquisition referred to the heavens interrogating one’s soul in an extremely pressing situation. And the person being tested had to be sincere. If they lied, they would be punished by the Heavens.
At that moment, Sheng Xiao could choose to break the survival ring on his wrist. That way, he would be sent out by the Central Pagoda.
But Sheng Xiao did not want to forfeit so soon.
If he couldn’t even clear the first level, how could he face anyone after he went out? After he returned to the academy, if Yu Huang asked him how many levels he had passed, how should he answer?
Answer: eliminated in the first round? Sheng Xiao shuddered at the thought of that.
He was a man, so how could he not have an ego?
Sheng Xiao understood the situation and replied quickly, “No.” Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
After he finished speaking, Sheng Xiao heard the sound of thunder rumbling in his mind. It was as if the heavens were checking if he was telling the truth. The thunder rumbled for a moment but did not stop.
It was obvious that Sheng Xiao had passed the first question.
The heavens asked again, “Do you believe in the existence of a Divine Master?” The heavens’ tone was very slow, and it sounded like he had been in the top for a long time.
Sheng Xiao nodded without hesitation. “I do!”
The thunder rumbled for a moment, but it still did not fall.
Then, the heavens asked a third question. “Then do you believe the saying that the Divine Master is kind and loving?”
Sheng Xiao wanted to say that he believed in it, but some guesses flashed across his mind. He immediately fell silent.
The heavens saw that Sheng Xiao was hesitating and he urged him unhappily, “The heavens is asking you a question. You have to answer it!”
Sheng Xiao sighed in his heart. “No!”
“Why don’t you believe in it?!” The heavens suddenly questioned Sheng Xiao.
The voice of the heavens was accompanied by the rolling thunder as it said authoritatively, “Those who can become Divine Master are all beast tamers with great love. Why don’t you believe the saying that Divine Masters are benevolent and loving?”
The heavens seemed to think that Sheng Xiao was unreasonable.
Sheng Xiao could tell that the heavens was angry. He could not help but feel baffled. In the Inquisition, the heavens only needed to ask questions and did not need to question the examinee.
The heavens’ emotions were too volatile.
Sheng Xiao had some guesses, but he did not show them. He was afraid that the heavens would notice something was amiss.
Sheng Xiao replied in his mind, “I believe that every Divine Master has great love the moment they become a God, but I don’t believe that they will still have great love after they become a God!”
The heavens suddenly fell silent. “Why?”
Sheng Xiao said, “Because humans are greedy by nature.”
Humans were greedy.
It was like a relationship. In the beginning, you would love a woman without asking for anything in return.
But when that woman smiled at you, you would hope that she would know your feelings. If that woman knew your feelings, you would hope that she would respond.
If she responded to you, you would hope that she would fall in love with you. Then, you would want her to marry you, bear children for you, cook for you, and care for you.
But you forgot that your initial thought was to silently like her and be satisfied with seeing her happy.
So, no one was not greedy, and Divine Masters were no exception.
After hearing Sheng Xiao’s answer, the heavens went silent for even longer.
Just as Sheng Xiao was about to suffocate, he suddenly heard the heavens say, “Next, you can ask me a question. I will tell you the truth. I won’t lie.”
After a pause, the divine being said, “You can ask me the method to pass through successfully, or you can ask me the secret about the door of the Time Gate. You can even ask me anything. As long as you ask, I will answer everything.”
The heavens were tempting him to ask about the secret of the pathway and the Time Gate. He had set up such a trap on purpose because he was afraid that Sheng Xiao would ask something else.
Sheng Xiao licked his lips. “You’ll answer every question I ask?”
The heavens nodded proudly. “Yes.”
Hearing that, Sheng Xiao asked a question that had nothing to do with clearing the level or the door of the Time Gate. He asked, “You’re not the heavens. You’re the Divine Master who created the Holy Spirit Continent, right?”
The other party suddenly fell silent.
He refused to speak.
Sheng Xiao sneered. “According to the rules, you have to answer everything.”
The thunder in Sheng Xiao’s mind was even more shocking. It was the sign of the heavens’ wrath. However, Sheng Xiao was not frightened by the commotion. He waited quietly. Finally, he heard the heavens’ answer.
“… Yes!” This ti
