Seven Deadly Sins System-Chapter 163: Entity
In a room located in the forbidden area of the imperial palace, Chu Wuyao sat cross-legged, with her eyes closed and a serious expression on her face.
As her thoughts moved, the Divine Power inside her body rushed everywhere, washing over every inch of her body and improving the strength of her physical body and her soul.
Time slowly went by, until suddenly, Chu Wuyao’s body shook, causing the space around her to tremble as if it was about to shatter.
Fortunately, Chu Wuyao controlled her strength just in time and prevented the forbidden area from being destroyed.
Then, she opened her eyes, felt her current strength, and exhaled softly.
"I’ve finally reached the peak of the Holy Realm.", she whispered and from her tone, it was clear that she was quite satisfied with her progress.
This was quite normal.
After all, most practitioners in the Inheritance World would never reach the Holy Realm even if they spent their whole lives practicing, and only a few practitioners among those who did would be able to reach the peak of this realm.
Granted, Chu Wuyao had obtained Moon King’s memories and understood that this was partly because of the weakness of the world itself, and partly because of the Moon King’s subtle suppression of extraordinary people.
Regardless, this was enough to prove Chu Wuyao’s talent, while also being evidence of just how many resources she had obtained and consumed with the assistance of the Sun Kingdom.
Just when Chu Wuyao was getting acquainted with her newfound power, a few system prompts flashed in the corner of her eye.
[Your subordinates killed one extraordinary person. Sin Points +1]
[Your subordinates killed one extraordinary person. Sin Points +1]
[...]
Many system prompts flashed continuously, but Chu Wuyao ignored most of them and her eyes landed on the ones at the bottom.
[Your subordinates killed a Great Warrior. Sin Points +250]
[Your subordinates killed a Great Warrior. Sin Points +250]
[Your subordinates killed twenty extraordinary people. Sin Points +20]
"It seems that those people have been cleaned up.", she thought and understood that Li Ruoshi and her group should have wiped out the final group that resisted her rule over the Kingdom.
Chu Wuyao didn’t pay much attention to this, knowing that she could have wiped out all these people with a wave of her hand.
The reason why she didn’t was because she initially needed them to govern the Sun Kingdom.
But now that they were no longer needed, there was no reason for them to continue living and it was time for them to go on their way.
What Chu Wuyao actually focused on was the Sin Points she was constantly gaining.
She had long discovered that ever since she had taken control over the Sun Kingdom, the extraordinary people who had surrendered to her were judged to be her subordinates by the system, meaning that she would get a small amount of Sin Points every time they did something evil under her instructions.
Although these Sin Points were less than what she would gain if she would personally commit these things and they became less as her strength got higher and higher, she would still get a significant amount of Sin Points every day because of the sheer volume of these evil acts.
"Of course, now that the situation of the kingdom has finally stabilized and there are no longer any people who openly oppose me, these Sin Points will stop coming.", Chu Wuyao guessed.
Even so, she was quite happy about this windfall and it could be considered as a happy accident.
While Chu Wuyao was thinking, she couldn’t help but bring up the system panel, ready to take a look at the changes that her progress had brought to it.
[Name: Chu Wuyao(Audrey Heath)]1
[Rank: Peak of the Holy Realm]
[Skills: Seven Stars Swordsmanship(36700/500000), Blood Essence Analysis(33020/100000), Phoenix’s Immortality]
[Authorities: Mist World(Seed)(99.9%), Fire(99.9%), Blood(99.9%), Undead(99.9%), Holy Light(99.9%)]
[Authority Abilities: Secret Realm, Gate of the Underworld, Holy Affinity]
[Sin Points: 91200]
[Undead Authority: High-Grade Authority]
Many big changes had taken place in the system panel, such as the improvement of her proficiency in various skills and abilities and the massive increase in her Sin Point balance.
However, the most important change was neither of these, but the changes in her Authorities.
Apart from practicing to increase her realm, Chu Wuyao had spent most of the last few months improving her understanding of her Authorities and the results were clear evidence of it.
Not only had the understanding of the Authorities she already possessed improved dramatically, but she had also obtained one more High-Grade Authority, the Undead Authority.
By now, she was only a sliver away from fully understanding these Authorities and satisfying the first condition to break through to the Awakening Realm.
Part of this was because of Chu Wuyao’s efforts and her high understanding, and part of it was because she had used some Sin Points to speed up her progress.
At the same time, Chu Wuyao gained two new abilities as a result of understanding two High-Grade Authorities to a certain level.
[Holy Affinity: Your affinity towards the concept of Holiness is significantly improved.]
[Gate of the Underworld: You can open a gate that leads to the Underworld, allowing living creatures to travel to the Underworld and undead creatures to come to the living world.]
One of these abilities was a passive improvement, while the other one, the Gate of the Underworld, was an active ability, just like the Secret Realm ability she had previously gained from understanding the Mist World Authority.
However, Chu Wuyao had yet to make use of this ability.
Although she was very curious about a new world she had never heard about, the Underworld, every time she considered opening the gate, her intuition would warn her of danger and let her know that she would surely die if she did.
Having always trusted her intuition, Chu Wuyao would of course not make the mistake of opening the Underworld gate.
Apart from the fact that she couldn’t test this new ability, there was one more thing that Chu Wuyao was a little disappointed about.
"Despite having understood all these Authorities, I’ve yet to awaken my Vision.", she muttered in a low voice.

In fact, she knew that to awaken her Vision, she would have to fully understand at least one Authority.
But Chu Wuyao consciously held herself back from doing so.
She had a strong hunch that fully understanding an Authority would bring massive changes to her Vision, and the stronger the first Authority she understood was, the more benefits she would receive.
Knowing this, she was unwilling to settle for a High-Grade Authority and was waiting to understand a Supreme-Grade one.
That’s right.

Chu Wuyao was planning to understand an Authority she had come in contact with before, the Good and Evil Authority.
Having personally used this Authority during her fight with the Moon King, she was confident that she would be able to obtain it, permanently this time.
"But to do so, I first have to obtain that thing.", Chu Wuyao thought, and she took a thick book out of her space ring.
After her fingers brushed against the book’s leather cover, she flipped through its pages, taking a glance at its contents.
"Twenty thousand years ago, the Starlight Kingdom unified the continent. Five hundred years later, it was destroyed as a result of a meteor shower."
"Fifteen thousand years ago, the Emerald Kingdom unified the continent. Four hundred years later, it was destroyed as a result of a massive flood that almost caused the entire continent to sink."
"Ten thousand years ago, the Arctic Kingdom unified the continent..."
"..."
This book briefly talked about the history of some kingdoms that existed in the distant past.
There were some subtle differences between these kingdoms, with some of them being ruled by a royal family, others by a religion, while a few of them were surprisingly quite close to becoming fully functioning democracies.
However, all these kingdoms seemed to follow a similar pattern: they would start as small powers, which would then constantly expand and annex the kingdoms around them until they finally unified the world.
A few years after they succeeded though, when the kingdom was at the peak of its prosperity, a natural disaster would occur which would end up destroying the kingdom and completely burying the traces of its existence.
This history seemed to confirm the information that Chu Wuyao had obtained from the Moon King, letting her understand something.
Subconsciously, she couldn’t help but raise her head and look above her.
Her gaze seemed to pass through the walls of the imperial palace, through the sky, and even through this world and landed on a powerful entity that was hiding inside a secret realm.
Although this entity was blurry and Chu Wuyao was unable to make its figure out, she was certain that it was also staring back at her quietly, with indifferent, emotionless eyes.
Removed some unchanged columns and a few other things to avoid inflating the word count.
