Douluo Continent: Peerless God General, starting by deceiving Qian Renxue

Chapter 714 Xun Yu's Teachings: Dian Wei's Childlike Heart Breaks the Original Sin Array

"Erlai, empty your mind. Although the power of the Seven Deadly Sins is formidable, as long as your mind can resist these seven sins, you can greatly reduce their power. You possess a pure heart, which is the nemesis of the Seven Deadly Sins. Listen to my words." Xun Yu's voice echoed in Dian Wei's ears.

"The sin of pride is the loss of humanity, the overestimation of divinity, viewing all living beings as ants and weeds, becoming numb and indifferent. Therefore, one must examine oneself thrice daily and treat others with humility!"

"The sin of anger is that it harms oneself and others. Therefore, one must suppress anger, learn to be calm and peaceful, and wait until all anxiety has dissipated. Then, calmly look at the blue sky, listen to the melodious birdsong, and play with the beetles in the grass. Find joy in waiting and be patient!"

"The sin of laziness is sloth, cowardice, and irresponsibility. However, we must understand that humans are born lazy, which is not a fault. We should control laziness, not let laziness control us. Since ancient times, humans have invented cars because they were lazy and did not want to walk; they learned to make elixirs because they were lazy and did not want to practice asceticism... There are countless examples like these. We should strive to overcome laziness and be diligent in our efforts!"

"The sin of desire lies in prioritizing lust over compassion, valuing desire over righteousness. One must restrain desire and approach it with simplicity!"

"The sin of greed, the excessive pursuit of money or power, is a sin of turning away from God. Like all corrupt sins, it is the short-sightedness of abandoning the eternal for something that will decay. We should remember this: when poor, cultivate your own virtue; when successful, benefit all under heaven, and be generous in your actions!"

"The sin of jealousy stems from indifference, belittling, exclusion, and hostility towards others, from which hatred spreads. Zhuangzi said, 'To be tolerant of things and not to belittle others is the ultimate virtue.' A good character lies in a positive mindset; this is a lofty state of being. Those who can be tolerant of others have hearts as broad and transparent as the sky, as vast and deep as the sea, like the ocean that embraces the sun and moon, like the sky that accepts sunshine and rain, like a mountain that embraces tender grass—treat others with tolerance!"

"The sin of gluttony is indulging in worldly pursuits, excessively indulging in pleasure, and lacking ambition. As the saying goes, too much of a good thing is bad. A virtuous person should moderate their desires, moderate their eating, moderate their speech, speak and act appropriately, keep their mind calm as still water, and judge others with moderation. This is how one cultivates the virtues of a virtuous person and acts with restraint!"

Xun Yu unleashed his full power, his words echoing incessantly in Dian Wei's ears.

The Goddess of Desire sensed that the power of the Seven Deadly Sins was being rejected by Dian Wei. She subconsciously used her own heart of desire to probe Dian Wei's mind, only to find it completely blank. "How is this possible? This person has no desires at all. No... no, that's not right, that's..."

The god of desire seemed to see a pair of halberds deep within Dian Wei's heart.

This burly man wasn't without desires; rather, his desire wasn't for money, power, or beautiful women, but rather for his halberd. This signified that all he had in his heart was the purest pursuit of martial arts.

This simple pursuit is precisely the greatest nemesis of her laws of desire.

Not only the God of Desire, but also the other six original sin gods saw different aspects of Dian Wei's mind through their respective laws of original sin.

What the God of Pride saw was Dian Wei and Nan Feihuang practicing martial arts together. The two had their share of victories and defeats, but neither of them was arrogant in victory nor discouraged in defeat. They both possessed a humble heart that could overcome arrogance.

What the God of Wrath saw was Dian Wei's decades-long, unwavering cultivation method. He was never impatient because of the slow pace of his cultivation, nor did he get angry when he encountered bottlenecks. He patiently accumulated his strength, making progress step by step, little by little. He was truly full of patience.

The god of laziness was speechless. Had this big man ever truly rested in his life? How could he tell that apart from his normal daily meals and sleep, this guy spent all his time practicing martial arts? The word "diligent" was an understatement.

The god of greed felt as if he had seen a ghost. Dian Wei was the most greedy yet least greedy person he had ever met. He was greedy for his unprecedented pursuit of martial arts and for the progress in martial arts, but he had no other desires. He let everything take its natural course. Even his marriage to Nan Feiling was a natural occurrence. He never deliberately asked for anything. When his lord bestowed the marriage upon him, he simply replied with an "oh". How could such a person exist in the world?

The God of Jealousy didn't even notice the jealousy in Dian Wei's heart. Since Dian Wei pursued martial arts, the only person who could possibly arouse his jealousy was someone who had mastered a higher level of martial arts. The question is, does such a person exist in this world? Even the Five Great God Kings couldn't possibly catch up to this monster in terms of martial arts comprehension.

Finally, the God of Gluttony discovered that Dian Wei did indeed suffer from gluttony; his appetite was enormous. The problem was that for gluttony to become a sin, it wasn't just about eating a lot; one also had to be addicted to things, excessively indulge in pleasure, and lack ambition. Dian Wei practiced martial arts every day, which was completely unrelated to these words. Moreover, his daily energy expenditure was completely balanced with his food intake. From this point of view, he was actually quite restrained.

Dian Wei's divine power began to permeate the Original Sin Array. His humility, loyalty, simplicity, patience, generosity, tolerance, magnanimity, and self-control—powers that completely contradicted the laws of original sin—brought the array to the brink of collapse.

This has never happened before because there has never been a guy with such a pure mindset as Dian Wei.

"Ah—" Dian Wei suddenly raised his head and roared, and all the original sin power surrounding him was shaken away.

Then Dian Wei's eyes widened in anger, and with a flash, he rushed over and grabbed Pride, the first of the Seven Deadly Sins.

Dian Wei grabbed his head with his palm and slammed it into the ground. The once handsome and resolute face of the God of Arrogance was instantly deformed, and blood flowed from his seven orifices.

This shows how powerful Dian Wei's strike was.

The gods of wrath and jealousy attempted to attack from both sides, but Dian Wei countered their speed with swiftness, grabbing their faces with both hands. With the force of his palms, the sound of their skulls cracking could be heard.

The gods of sloth and gluttony launched a sneak attack from below, but Dian Wei, with only one leg, kicked out like the wind, leaving both of them covered in footprints and unable to advance an inch. Their internal organs were shattered and their divine power dissipated.

"Oh no, the Original Sin Array has no effect on him at all!" cried the God of Desire.

This work was compiled and uploaded by [author's name].

Without the Original Sin Array, a first-level god would be far inferior to a god-king, especially an extraordinary god-king like Dian Wei.

His strength cannot be judged by the extent of his divine power.

Even if his divine power is only at the initial level of God-King, his actual combat strength is probably far superior to any of the five God-Kings.

Wielding twin halberds, Dian Wei swept across the land with a single blow, causing destruction in all directions. The array barrier formed by the Seven Deadly Sins was constantly being pushed up from the inside, and from the outside, it was already covered with cracks.

It's obvious to anyone with eyes that the Seven Deadly Sins Formation is gradually collapsing.
