Chapter 510 Cause and Effect Reincarnation 30
On the Heavenly Execution Platform.
Gu Yao sat on the high platform, and on the low table was the Book of Cause and Effect.
From the moment of his birth, he was a deity in charge of the cause and effect, merit and demerit of all living beings.
And what we're going to judge today is...
Demon King - Shen Juan!
His indifferent snow-white eyes held no emotion whatsoever. On this Heavenly Execution Platform, he had judged at least eight or a thousand immortals; he was already used to it.
But a cause and effect as significant as today's is truly rare.
The lives of tens of thousands of ordinary people...
Gu Yao frowned and looked down at the red-clad youth kneeling in the center of the Heavenly Execution Platform.
His clothes were torn to shreds, and bright red blood soaked into the runes on the Heavenly Execution Platform that suppressed magical power.
The heart in my chest twitched suddenly.
Gu Yao's expression remained calm and composed.
His voice was steady.
"Chen Juan, the karma you have created concerns the lives of tens of thousands of mortals in Fusang City. Do you plead guilty?"
The person kneeling motionless at the lower end now stirred, the chains clanging as they moved.
“Chen Juan, confess your sins.”
The boy's voice was flat, but unusually hoarse.
My heart suddenly ached.
Gu Yao frowned, couldn't help but sit up straight, reached out and took the Book of Cause and Effect, his gaze falling on the kneeling boy, with a hint of persuasion.
"Shen Juan, do you know what punishment you will receive for involving so many mortal lives?"
The chains rattled again, and the boy seemed to want to raise his head, but was held back by the chains around his neck, and finally lowered his head helplessly.
The voice carried a hint of dejection.
“I am deeply aware of this.”
The boy's voice remained calm, as if he were not deciding his own life or death.
Gu Yao was getting anxious; his knuckles turned white as he gripped the pen.
"Don't you have anything to say in your defense?"
Shen Juan shook her head.
"No, judge it however you see fit."
Seeing the dejected look on this person's face, who didn't even want to argue, Gu Yao felt a nameless anger rising in his chest.
In the past, which of those sinful immortals didn't beg for something to offset their karma?
This person, on the other hand, didn't struggle at all.
Gu Yao took a deep breath, slowly stood up, and waved his hand, "Since you confess your guilt, then let the Book of Cause and Effect judge your merits and demerits."
Qingyuan, sitting at the bottom, became anxious first, "My lord, this..."
Gu Yao interrupted him, "This matter is of great importance. Judging it by cause and effect would be more just."
Qingyuan pursed her lips, but due to Gu Yao's authority, she could only lower her head and retreat.
He didn't understand why an adult would expend their cultivation to activate the Book of Cause and Effect when they could clearly make their own judgment.
Gu Yao, however, had made up his mind. He bit his fingertip, his face turning pale. He made a series of hooks in mid-air, and with each hook, his face turned even paler.
As the crimson array was completed, the Book of Cause and Effect moved without wind, turning page by page, the sound of the pages turning being particularly clear on the silent Xingtai.
The cause and effect sheet before the boy finally came to a halt.
Shen Juan didn't look up, but she already knew the outcome.
"My lord need not worry about me; the outcome will be the same."
Shen Juan looked up, but the chain binding his neck suddenly tightened and pulled him back, causing the veins on his slender neck to bulge and his fair face to gradually turn bluish-purple.
The boy was like a dying swan, fragile yet beautiful.
His loose black hair covered half of his face, but the half that was visible was still breathtakingly beautiful.
Her emerald eyes gazed up at the deity on the high platform, separated from the assembled immortals.
Shen Juan smiled.
Her smile was both radiant and beautiful.
The smile that bloomed was like a flower of evil, gradually draining the boy's life force.
Her breathing gradually slowed, but Shen Juan still refused to lower her head. Her emerald eyes were fixed on Gu Yao, as if she wanted to etch his face into her soul.
The hand hanging in his sleeve suddenly tightened, and Gu Yao looked away abruptly as if burned by Shen Juan's gaze.
Tears welled in her blue eyes, streaming down the boy's haggard face, a poignant beauty.
Gu Yao glanced at her out of the corner of his eye, but his fingertips couldn't help but twitch, and he raised his hand to unlock the chain around Chen Juan's neck.
"Clang."
The chains fell to the ground.
The boy gasped for breath, bent over, and coughed violently.
Even with his limbs bound to the high platform, he remained composed.
Once the Book of Cause and Effect has determined merits and demerits, no one can interfere.
The pain of a shattered soul.
There's no escaping this deep affection.
The god who could usually calmly accept punishment was unusually flustered today.
He clearly had no connection with this suddenly appearing demon lord.
With tears in his eyes, the boy, now free of the restraints around his neck, looked up in the direction of the deity.
"My Lord, this is not right..."
"I will take full responsibility for all the mistakes."
Gu Yao suppressed his doubts and looked in the direction of Shen Juan, where the young man smiled gently.
Her beauty is flamboyant and glamorous.
Gu Yao couldn't help but smile.
Then I put it down again.
The ever-selfless deity lowered his eyes, paused with his fingertips, and the remaining four chains snapped.
Shen Juan was taken aback, but then solemnly bowed gracefully in the direction of the Divine Lord.
"Thank you, sir."
The demon king, who was once arrogant and domineering in the eyes of the crowd, now appeared devout and solemn.
With hands clasped together and a calm demeanor, he kowtowed deeply.
It's like someone who has reached the end of their rope begging for divine mercy.
At this moment, however, he is accepting his own punishment.
Without the chains that bound them, they also lost their support.
The wounded boy kowtowed, then had no strength left to get up.
This was the first time Gu Yao couldn't bear to watch.
He turned his head away, closed his eyes, and trembled slightly. His silver hair covered his face, leaving only half of his profile visible. Naturally, he did not see the desolation in Shen Juan's withdrawn gaze.
Just how painful is it to have your soul shattered?
Before today's judgment of cause and effect, Shen Juan had already undergone a round of torture. Gu Yao had also heard that this Lord of the Demon Realm was extremely tough, so he did not utter a sound.
But that's exactly the kind of person he is.
At this moment, however, he couldn't help but wail.
The high and mighty deity could turn his head away from looking at the young man on the execution platform.
But it couldn't block out that sound.
Every gasp and groan from the boy was caught in his throat, gradually turning into a piercing wail.
In the end, only shallow breathing remained.
The rustling of clothes and the clanging of bones against hard stone all indicated that the person was rolling around.
The pain was so intense I was writhing in agony.
Even in his most disheveled state, Chen Juan refused to look away.
He could feel his soul shattering into pieces.
It looks like it's being devoured by ten thousand ghosts.
But it seemed that his eyes could only see that figure high in the sky.
So close, yet so far.
He tried so hard to climb toward him, but his outstretched fingertips still couldn't reach him.
He seemed to see the high and mighty god trembling.
So, you can be sad too...
Shen Juan felt that her punishment had come to an end, and her eyelids were so heavy that she could not lift them.
His soul shattered, devoured by countless ghosts.
It really hurts.
My lord, are you in this pain too?
