I! Cleaner!-Chapter 1091 - 1006: Poet of the Quandu Tribe
"I think I understand now..."
After recalling the structures of the Heavenly Mountain and the Abyss Hundred Prisons, Leon frowned and said:
"The Heavenly Mountain is probably cone-shaped with the tip pointing upwards, so when angels die within the Heavenly Mountain, their ’soul’ and ’goodness’ parts float upward, finally condensing into a body at the Pool of Resurrection at the mountain’s peak, and they come back to life.
And the Abyss Hundred Prisons is like an inverted funnel, so when you demons die within the Abyss Hundred Prisons, the body housing ’Original Sin’ will decompose and gradually sink to the lower layers, eventually condensing into a new demon in some sort of mire?"
"Yes, yes! That’s exactly what you mean!"
After listening to Leon’s description, the Black Goat couldn’t help nodding repeatedly, then surprisingly offered a bit of flattery, exclaiming in wonder:
"Amazing! Even though you haven’t been to either the Heavenly Mountain or the Abyss Hundred Prisons, just by listening to a bit, you understood the operational rules of these two realms. You truly are remarkable!"
"..."
Thank you, but despite the flattery, being praised as cultured by an illiterate demon like you doesn’t really feel like much of an achievement...
After fishing the Black Goat out of the steamer by its horns, Leon started washing the pot while asking further:
"So what does this have to do with Melanie’s past life?"
"It has everything to do with it!"
Seeing that Leon still didn’t understand, the Black Goat placed to the side couldn’t help but remind him:
"Your sister can easily see through my essence, proving her status must be higher than mine, at least she has mastered one Original Sin as a Demon God.
But according to the rules of the Abyss Hundred Prisons, all powers and statuses are condensed in the body. Once dead, the body sinks, eventually being recycled along with the status and recomposed into a new demon with a different soul."
"So then?"
"So she is very unusual!"
The Black Goat gestured urgently:
"Being able to see through me proves your sister’s soul essence is beyond mine, but according to the rules of the Abyss Hundred Prisons, a demon’s status relies on their physical body. So a demon capable of seeing through me must have a Demon God-level body! But your sister is just a normal human! Isn’t that strange?"
"..." 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖
"Also, even a Demon God mastering Original Sin, after death, their body and power would sink. The soul, under the suppression of the rules of the Abyss Hundred Prisons, becomes like currency, able to be collected, used, even absorbed and consumed. There’s no way for a Demon God-level soul to remain preserved.
However, your sister’s soul strength, though not high, truly is of a Demon God status, so she definitely didn’t die in the Abyss Hundred Prisons. She died somewhere else and managed to preserve her soul, condensing a new body... Doesn’t this sound familiar?"
Preserving the soul to form a body... Pool of Resurrection?
Wait?!!!
Upon reaching this point, Leon finally realized, turning sharply to the Black Goat, eyes wide in surprise, and said:
"Original Sin Great Demon God? The one killed by the nine great angels, then soaked in the Pool of Resurrection, polluting the entire Heavenly Mountain?"
"Yes!"
Nodding vigorously, the Black Goat said with a complicated expression:
"There are only so many Demon Gods, and those who lost their bodies and died are known. The only Demon God who could have preserved a high-status soul after losing the body, I can only think of that... that Master."
"Isn’t that wrong?"
Leon thought for a moment before expressing disbelief:
"If Melanie’s past life was that Original Sin Great Demon God, then she should’ve been soaked into an angel, but I’ve checked her condition. Melanie, both body and soul, is the purest human!"
Fool!
Seeing Leon still persistently trying to find evidence that his sister’s past life wasn’t a demon, the Black Goat couldn’t help but snort:
"Angels soaked in the Pool of Resurrection become angels, but that doesn’t mean demons are the same. Plus, no Demon Gods have ever died in the Pool of Resurrection before, so who knows what a Demon God dying inside would become?"
"But the soul’s strength..."
"The Pool of Resurrection only revives the ’good’ part, it doesn’t handle the evil part."
Understanding what Leon meant to say, the Black Goat explained directly:
"Demons, though embodiments of ’evil’, aren’t completely devoid of ’good’; it’s just very rare.
Humans, upon receiving five degrees of kindness, might generate six degrees of kindness in return. But for demons, it might only generate 0.1 degrees or even less, soon to be overshadowed and expelled by greater malice."
After explaining the demon situation, the Black Goat squinted and speculated:
"As the only Great Demon God crossing seven Original Sins, the Original Sin Great Demon God who died in the Heavenly Mountain, her ’good’ was likely compressed to the limit, leaving only the smallest basic unit, that is, the strength of an ordinary human soul.
If I’m guessing correctly, after being cornered by the nine great angels, the Original Sin Great Demon God directly summoned evil pus and dashed into the Pool of Resurrection, dying inside. Her one remaining minimal unit of ’good’ was revived by the still-functioning Pool of Resurrection, becoming your sister.
And her demon part countered the angel body bestowed by the Pool of Resurrection, leaving only the degree of an average human... only this can explain why she retains the status of a Demon God, but both her body and soul are only those of a regular human."
"..."
"Also, I’ve figured out your sister’s situation too... it’s not this Great Demon God’s sister, it’s the older one."
The Black Goat rolled its tongue twice in the throat, took out a pack of Gotth cigarettes with a sheep’s head design, skillfully knocked out one with its tongue, held it, slightly tilted its head to light it on the stove, then took a deep drag on the Gotth cigarette, exhaling blue smoke from its nostrils, and said:
"Both you and the former Aquarius Director thought the anomalous item she created was snatching others’ families out of a desire for a family, but your sister’s moral baseline is actually much higher than yours and the former Aquarius. Even in the loss of everything, she resists doing such deeds from her heart.
So the targets chosen by the anomalous item she created and brought over to become her family should all be people without families... it’s even challenging to determine if they belong to this world."
With Leon’s pupils contracting sharply, the Black Goat, holding a cigarette, confidently said:
"Your brother, although by blood belongs to the Western Carlay Wen Kingdom, that’s just his body’s bloodline. Essentially, he remains that special race capable of gazing upon the root, while your younger sister is a special case of the Original Sin Great Demon God’s goodness soaked out in the Pool of Resurrection, equally questionable as a human.
As for you... hmm... though I haven’t figured out your exact origin, you’re even less of a human than the two of them combined, which is why you were dragged over by the anomalous item your sister created."
After sneakily giving Leon a jab, seeing his earthquake-like expression, the Black Goat leisurely puffed a smoke ring, then said proudly:
"So, how about it? Impressed by my knowledge..."
"Aren’t you illiterate?!"
"?!!!"
"You’re the illiterate one! Your whole family is illiterate!"
Not expecting admiration and praise, instead getting such words, the Black Goat immediately flew into a rage.
"I just got used to writing in the demonic script of soul writing and couldn’t be bothered to learn the idiotic symbol languages of your humans! Who said I was illiterate?"
