"Although he completed the God Ascension ritual in a short time, the next moment, the uncontrollable power of the Great Sin blew him clean."

Louis nodded.

He found this situation quite reasonable.

After all, the power of the Great Sin only congregates on the Star Continent.

But the power of sin is not only spread across the Star Continent.

He always remembered that the power of the Great Sin originally originated in the Abyss.

The Deep Abyss Blood War is a manifestation of the power of sin converging upward.

Through countless Deep Abyss Blood Wars, the power of the deceased gathers onto the survivors, and thus the power of sin continues to enrich upward.

In this process, the more demons possess the power of sin, the naturally stronger their combat abilities become.

Thus the demons began to evolve.

The strong became Abyssal Lords, and some exceedingly powerful ones could even vie for the position of the Abyssal Evil God.

Even deities, there were some who chose to enter the Abyss, enjoying the benefits of the Deep Abyss Blood War.

But during this process, there was no remarkable tendency towards any of the Seven Sins among the Abyssal Evil Gods.

Even the Four Gods of the Abyss, from the perspective of authority, only possessed some characteristics of the Seven Sins.

If measured merely by the amount of Great Sin power, the Bottomless Abyss clearly has more sin powers than the Star Continent.

But they have not appeared as any God of Great Sin, is it because they do not wish to?

There's only one possibility, that is they can't do it.

Master Merlin said calmly:

"The power of the Great Sin in the Abyss counterbalances each other, forming a dynamically stable structure in the midst of chaos."

"This is also the reason why the power of the Deep Abyss Blood War can continually spread upwards."

"Louis, if you truly wish to walk the path to God Ascension, you absolutely must not think of uniting the Seven Sins."

"The human body, and even the body of a god, may not be able to withstand the cost of these mixed powers."

Louis understood what Master Merlin was getting at.

He didn't want him to follow the same path as the last Elf King from the Elf Realm.

Particularly as the sin of lust within him suddenly revived.

"For the Sin of Lust to fully awaken, it requires some time. However, I suggest you thoroughly investigate the White Tower in Ense to find out how the Sin of Greed originated."

Louis pinched his brows and said:

"I will discuss this matter in detail with the White Tower, but more than that, I want to ask, you mentioned my Sin of Greed has issues, are there any points of suspicion?"

Master Merlin fell silent for a moment and then said softly:

"If you haven't recently killed anyone personally and seized the power of another sin, then it highlights a problem, the Sin of Lust is an inherent power of yours."

Louis furrowed his brow and said:

"The Sin of Greed emerged in me very early on."

Master Merlin said indifferently:

"Appearing on you early does not mean it is your first sin. Have you forgotten that I mentioned before, if multiple sins appear on one person, it indicates they are..."

"Symbiote?" Louis' expression turned increasingly peculiar.

Symbiote is a fascinating phenomenon existing among the sins.

The winner can "devour" the power of the loser and directly convert it into their own power.

For instance, in the future diary, after he "devoured" the Sin of Wrath from the King of Fury, he directly reigned over the human world, becoming a war fanatic whose battle flags spread across the world.

Theoretically, if one desires to quickly enhance their strength, they can directly kill other sins to seize their power.

As Master Merlin mentioned, even a demigod can only accommodate four sins.

But that's enough for him to boost his strength to an unparalleled height within a short time.

No need for much.

As long as he can ascend to legendary, Louis is certain he possesses the power to slay a demigod outright.

His first kill against the demigod shrine in the Shadow Country already proves insightful.

However, the Black Swan taught Louis a lesson at the dire cost.

That is, a symbiote does not necessarily mean the victor devours the defeated.

From the perspective of power hierarchy, the Seven Sins belong to the same tier, even if the current sin's professional rank falls short, it doesn't imply being suppressed unilaterally.

As long as the other side does not interfere with the devouring, then even the weak can plunder the strong's power.

The Black Swan allowing him to devour her that time exemplified this situation.

Master Merlin sighed and said:

"Do you know? When the Elf Realm entered the Star Continent, it triggered the indignation of the natives."

"Because our preserved tribal combat power is indeed not weak, completely capable of establishing a nation on the continent."

"But this also means, if we wanted to establish our own country, massive interests would be gouged from various nations."

"The interest was so great, to the extent everyone would willingly fight the elves."

"The last Elf King was born in the most dangerous, chaotic turbulent era of the Elf Realm."

"He and his brother inherited the Sin of Envy and the Sin of Greed, respectively."

"Originally due to his age, his brother had the full advantage."

"But the Sin of Greed chose to protect the younger brother, allowing him to absorb his own power."

"Thus, the young Elf King wielded the power that ordinary elves could not grasp for hundreds of years."

"At that time, no one even knew that the two brothers were sins."

"For a long time, people mistakenly thought the last Elf King was the Sin of Greed."

Louis's pupils quaked, subconsciously saying:

"The Sin of Greed? Not the Sin of Envy?"

"Indeed, the Sin of Greed, not the Sin of Envy."

Let's sort it out again.

The last Elf King was the Sin of Envy.

His brother was the Sin of Greed.

Yet after devouring the Sin of Greed, the Sin of Envy didn't manifest the characteristics of Envy.

Instead, he showed the characteristics of Greed possessed by his brother.

Master Merlin said softly:

"Do you understand now? Suppose the Sin of Greed has another master and he chose to let you devour his power."

"During this process, if he didn't resist, then the authority and power of sin would entirely transfer to your body."

"Moreover, since your own sin has not awakened, for a significant period, the traits you display won't be your inherent traits but would be the characteristics of the external Sin of Greed."

"Now let me ask you once more, have you truly no idea who left the Sin of Greed to you?"

Louis was silent for a moment, cold sweat quickly streaming down.

Strictly speaking, he did have a suspect—

Louis Charles Julius.

Of course, he wasn't referring to himself.

But the original owner, who started down the path of ruin, eventually sent to the guillotine by the revolutionary army.

Theoretically, he is the Sin of Greed's original master.

And he should be quite different from himself.

Now it's been almost two years since Louis crossed over to the Star Continent.

If Master Merlin's guess is true, the sin he owns is likely the Sin of Lust.

As for why the original owner is unlikely to be Lust, the reason is simple.

The original owner exhibited the singular characteristics of the Sin of Greed for twenty years.

Yet Louis exhibited this trait for less than two years.

If the original owner inherently was the Sin of Lust, then over the next eighteen years, whether he was willing or not, he would more or less have shown the inherent characteristics of the sin.

But neither the little swan, the black swan, nor the future diary mentioned this aspect.

This means the original owner could truly have been Greed, and he might indeed be Lust.

After all… he wasn't reborn direct twenty years back, but replaced the original owner first before being reborn.

Thinking this, cold sweat ran down his back.

If so...

His face darkened:

"Master Merlin, could you please head to the outer realm for a moment?"

Merlin asked:

"Are you sure you don't need me to accompany you?"

Louis shook his head and said:

"No, there are things I need to verify on my own."
