What exactly happened to make the owner make such a decision? In this respect, it's very similar to the previous owner's.
In fact, she was somewhat dissatisfied with her former master's approach in this regard. It was too decisive and left no room for maneuver. Therefore, she secretly helped those civilizations that had temporarily escaped her former master's sight, such as the 'Abyss People' who had been sunk into the underground space by the War of Burial Fire.
"..." Asmodeus slowly lowered her eyelids, her golden eyes radiating a strange light, but this light vanished in an instant, as she was also dissatisfied with her former master in this regard.
No matter what happens, we can't just make sweeping generalizations. Even if a civilization has made a grave mistake, not all of humanity is at fault.
But her master's orders were absolute, and she could not disobey. Ronawa was warned for helping the Nata region too much, which made her somewhat discouraged.
"Honestly, I sent you here precisely because of the survival of civilization, not to destroy the entire civilization and the old world." Luo Sheng said, resting his chin on his hand, somewhat dissatisfied. Did they think I was Fanes? Am I not gentle enough usually? Sigh, the troubles of the supreme god.
“I will draw a line of judgment for the civilization of that planet. Humans who meet the moral standards I designate can stay. Those whose evil outweighs their good will be swept away. Ordinary people whose evil and good are equal, as well as the virtuous whose good outweighs their evil, will board the ‘ark’ to escape the flood.”
"Joan of Arc, you're very familiar with this, aren't you?"
Joan of Arc breathed a sigh of relief, the panic on her face disappearing: "So that's how it is, Noah's Ark."
"But my lord, wouldn't it be enough to simply punish that world and send sinners to hell? Why must we destroy the world?"
“Joan of Arc, do you think what I’m doing is unnecessary? You even think that civilization can still be saved and want to try to salvage it?” Los Saint looked at Joan of Arc calmly. Joan of Arc was still too kind. Subconsciously, she believed that no matter how much a civilization developed, it would never lead to the destruction of the world. At most, it would be an isolated regional event like 'Gomorrah'.
"Yes, my lord," Joan of Arc said sincerely. The world-destroying flood was too cruel, and she hoped that her lord could rescind such punishment.
Los Saint looked calmly at Joan of Arc, who did not back down and stubbornly looked back at him.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Buyer and Fucaros were somewhat speechless; if they weren't gods, they would probably be drenched in sweat by now because of the atmosphere.
Is Joan of Arc, who has always been so compliant, really this headstrong? She actually dared to directly refute the laws of nature, which is no less than defying the will of heaven.
"..." Istaru and Asmody watched this scene calmly.
Although they were Phanes's shadows, even if they were dissatisfied with Phanes, they had never defied Phanes's will so much, because they would really be punished, and this punishment was not a simple one, but the kind that would make them start over.
What will the master do?
"..." Looking at Joan of Arc's sincere yet stubborn eyes, Luo Sheng knew that Joan of Arc would make this choice. After all, she was Joan of Arc. If he insisted on doing it, Joan of Arc would carry it out and would not have any dissatisfaction with him.
He did not treat Joan of Arc as merely a subordinate, even though she was also family.
“Joan of Arc, since you insist on doing this.”
“Then, if you can find three heroes among the adults of that civilization who are qualified to reach the fifth rank within these seven days, I will rescind my judgment,” Los Saint said.
Three heroes with Tier 5 aptitude.
With a population of over a billion, it's indeed possible to find them within seven days, but the chance is probably one in a million.
Putting everything else aside, Matsuzaki was granted the Eye of God by him, making her qualified to reach the fifth rank. The Holy Emperor could also be considered one. Regardless of whether she could actually do it, at least her idealistic soul had the potential.
He gave Joan of Arc the opportunity, but whether she could seize it was up to her.
Just like the story of the Sin of Gomorrah, is it difficult to find ten righteous people? Actually, it's not difficult, but can they do it? No, because there is no longer fertile ground for the birth of righteous people.
“Yes, my lord, thank you for your mercy.” Joan of Arc’s expression softened instantly, and her smile became gentle.
She believed that there were definitely more than three fifth-tier human heroes in the world, just like the various countries on Earth.
Although there are only a dozen or so fifth-tier heroes in various countries around the world, there are more than a hundred people with hero potential.
The aptitude may reach level five, but it is not actually level five.
"..." Buyer and Fucaros exchanged a surprised glance, and then the fear that had been surging in their hearts disappeared.
Luo Sheng is Luo Sheng. Even if it is the law of heaven, there are different kinds of laws of heaven. Luo Sheng is not unreasonable. He will give opportunities, but whether you can seize them is up to you.
'He's different...' Istaru's golden eyes glanced at Asmodie and subtly conveyed her meaning.
'Yes, he's different.' Asmodie returned the glance.
The pressure in my heart dissipated a lot after being embraced by my new owner.
"Until Joan of Arc's request is fulfilled, the seven-day destruction will continue." Saint Lothar tapped the armrest of the throne lightly with his fingers.
“Buyer, you must spread the ley lines throughout the civilized areas within seven days, sending the souls of the dead after the world's destruction directly to hell. Moreover, you must build seven arks of salvation to send the spark of civilization into the new century.”
Buyer stood up, bowed slightly, and said gently, "Yes, Lord Tenri."
This was not difficult for her; on the contrary, it was relatively easy. Her strength had already reached the top level of a primary Grand God-King. If the ley lines were to cover that planet, she would be promoted to a mid-level Grand God-King, at which point she would be on the same level as Tiamat.
“Focaros, you are responsible for weighing the scales of justice between good and evil, ensuring that those who meet the criteria enter the Ark of Salvation,” Los Saint said, looking at Focaros.
"However, you must not be soft-hearted and let anyone who does not meet the requirements escape the punishment they deserve, otherwise, I will still punish you."
Hmm... at most, I'll send you to the underworld to do hard labor for a while.
"Yes, Lord Tenri." Fukaros panicked at the mention of punishment and quickly replied, "I will never let any sinner escape justice."
“Aileen, you will directly guide the sinful souls after the destruction of the world into hell.” Los Saint looked at Aileen.
The normal process for entering the underworld cannot withstand the appearance of billions of dead souls at once, so Ereshkigal has to take direct action.
"Also, inform the demons of Hell to be prepared. If they are not prepared and sinful souls are left behind due to dereliction of duty, the Underworld will not show any mercy."
"Understood." Ai Lei nodded solemnly. If billions of people were thrown into the Underworld at once, the Underworld would be in chaos if it were a normal procedure.
Moreover, there are over a billion people! The Underworld is only about the size of the Australian continent. She couldn't even imagine how the governors and enforcers of the Underworld would work themselves to death trying to capture so many sinful souls if they were directly thrown into the Underworld continent.
“Last Tiamat.” Los Saint looked at Tiamat, who was sitting upright.
"Huh? Is there something else about Mom?" Tiamat asked in surprise.
“Of course.” Los Saint nodded. “Even bacteria will be wiped out after the Great Flood, so you will be responsible for restoring the entire world’s ecology.”
"Great! Don't worry about Mom, she guarantees that the ecology of that Earth will be exactly the same as this Earth's." Tiamat patted her chest and assured her.
"Alright, this resolution is now concluded. Does anyone have any questions?" Luo Sheng looked at them one by one.
“No more,” Buyer shook his head.
"Then the meeting is adjourned," Luo Sheng said.
Upon seeing this, the gods disappeared one by one from the Pantheon, leaving only Luo Sheng sitting alone on the Throne of Heavenly Principles.
"This is really unpleasant..." Luo Sheng's mood improved slightly.
Such a thing happened after just walking on the street for a short while; there's no need to use divine sense to scan other places.
When you see one cockroach, there are already thousands of cockroaches in the house.
If that world hadn't reversed, that little girl would have become a corpse hanging on barbed wire, and thousands, even tens of thousands, of 'cursed children' would be dying every day across the entire planet.
"Humans always have a bottom line that shocks even the gods." Luo Sheng sighed. He was human, and also the root god of this world.
Humans, out of fear and hatred for the Gastrea that took away their world and life, but not daring to fight them, transferred all their hatred to the young "Cursed Children" who had Gastrea genes.
After all, they are weak, unable to resist, and ignorant, making them an excellent outlet for venting their emotions.
Ironically, they need the power of the 'Cursed Children' to protect them.
It's an absolutely perfect tool.
……
Black Bullet Planet.
It was raining in Tokyo at first, but now it's raining all over the world. The once blue and white planet has turned into a gray planet full of swirling dark clouds, and the entire planet is covered by dark clouds.
Rumble...
Joan of Arc, Fukaros, and Buyer appeared in the outskirts of Tokyo, radiating a divine glow that caused the torrential rain to swirl around them.
They sensed the presence of the Saint of Los Angeles here, and that a divine eye was radiating power, which is why they descended here.
"Has this world really reached the point where it must be destroyed?" Joan of Arc's senses expanded, and everything in Tokyo appeared in her mind.
When she became the 'Deputy Ruler of Heaven', she advanced from 'First Stage of Godhood' to 'Second Stage of Godhood' and is about to break through to 'Third Stage of Godhood'.
Her perception has already covered half of the island nation's area.
Beyond Tokyo, enclosed by black stone monuments, lies a desolate forest, seemingly still picturesque, but inhabited by all sorts of bizarre Gastrea. These Gastrea range from Tier 1 to Tier 3. Tier 1 and 2 are manageable, as ordinary people can kill them, but Tier 3 possesses extremely strong regenerative abilities, rendering ordinary firearms ineffective.
"This is... the aura of evil? How can there be so much of it!" In Joan of Arc's perception, even a metropolis with a population of three million was shrouded in a black mist that ordinary people could not perceive.
This shocked her; she had only ever seen this level of activity on the eastern coast of the Mediterranean.
Fortunately, it didn't have the terrifying rate of almost 100% like the eastern Mediterranean coast.
But ninety-five out of a hundred people also possess an air of evil.
"How could this be..."
This is the aura of evil; it can only be seen if one has killed innocent people or indirectly caused the deaths of several innocent people.
Does this mean that 95% of the people in this world have directly or indirectly caused the deaths of innocent people? Is this world hell?
“No wonder Los Saint wants to destroy the world,” Buyer said with a sigh. Los Saint’s will was indeed justified.
“Yes, I think so too. Most people shouldn’t live in this world.” Fukaros nodded. Since following Los Saint, her lover has also been selective in his love. The living of sinners is a harm to the innocent, and in that case, the gods will help.
“However, I still think that punishing sinners with divine retribution is enough; destroying the world is too cruel,” Joan of Arc sighed.
“I’ve started planting trees.” Buyer did not deny Joan of Arc’s words, and a fist-sized silver seed appeared in his hand.
This is a 'World Tree Seed', which is actually a section of the World Tree branch shrunk inside a space sphere.
The 'Silver Ancient Tree' cannot be exposed on the planet's surface; it is too easily destroyed.
Therefore, she would envelop the 'Silver Ancient Tree' in space and let it sink into the mantle.
The World Tree seed was silently carried into the earth by the space sphere, sinking straight towards the mantle.
It stopped fifty kilometers below the Earth's crust, where the space sphere began to expand, growing to a massive ten kilometers in size, before finally the World Tree took root in the mantle.
Buyer continuously supplied power to the 'Silver Ancient Tree', which quickly grew to a massive size of one kilometer, and then its roots spread rapidly in all directions.
With the power of a god-king approaching a mid-level authority, the ley lines would spread across most of the planet in just four or five days.
Since the humans in this world are concentrated in specific areas, it is much simpler to just activate the ley lines to cover those specific areas. It only takes two days to cover all the civilized areas with ley lines.
Two days later, when the ley lines enveloped the civilized area, she used her power of the grass element to weave a savior ark and placed it in the sky. Fukaros then took those who were qualified to ride on the ark.
“The Eye of God… and it’s the Eye of God made from fragments of the power of justice.” Fukaros looked at the manhole cover not far away.
Beneath the manhole cover emanates a remarkably clear aura, imbued with an unwavering personal will. This is the spirit of a hero personally bestowed with the 'Eye of God' by Los Saint.
The 'Eye of God' is not limited to the seven elements; any fragment of power can be used, but the 'seven elements' are more universal.
