Chapter 136: Chapter 110: Me, as a Judge of the Thousand-Year Fire? 4485_2

"No."

"In a pile of fire, wood will still leave ashes, those are substances unworthy of being burnt by flames, and what is in front of you now, is the ashes left by the flames. So, this guy is still alive, it’s just that his independent soul was burned by the Thousand-Year Fire."

Ivita quickly noticed a key concept and immediately asked his question, for the Pan God had said that those who wish to collect the Law need to understand as much as they can about the relevant knowledge.

This would greatly benefit his cause.

Ivita asked Melissa, "The independent soul is burned away, and then it becomes the ash completely engulfed in the Thousand-Year Fire?"

Melissa smirked. "It’s no wonder you were chosen by the Thousand-Year Fire, even if we three collectively opposed, the Thousand-Year Fire still chose you."

"You did notice."

"Indeed, before he knowingly sacrificed his soul, foolishly believing it could atone for his sins, the Thousand-Year Fire made him a servant. In the secular sense of power, he indeed became a servant."

"However, in reality, there are small areas of his soul that the Thousand-Year Fire cannot control."

"The reason is simple, humans are remarkable creatures. They have already gathered a certain number of laws several times, and have united them into universal laws."

Ivita noticed that the other party was saying several times, not three times.

Indeed, civilization is not just Ancient Civilization, Ancient World, and Civilization of Fire.

Melissa continued, "The humans of this world, as the majority of many civilizations, are no ordinary beings. Even if these civilizations fall one after another, destroyed by different mysterious causes, these civilizations still leave the various laws, even universal laws, in the bodies, souls, and even the customs of humans."

"The souls of humans in this world are like a treasury, filled with remnants of various laws."

"Before he willingly gave up himself, the Thousand-Year Fire still couldn’t completely burn his soul."

Ivita asked, "Why did all those civilizations get destroyed?"

"I don’t know." Melissa said, "Universal civilizations are like the sky, how would ants know the reason of sky falling?"

"As ants, we do not need to understand such profound matters, human energy is limited, but the power of universal law is infinite. How could humans with limited energy seek the reason for the destruction of infinite things?"

"Even the most troublesome people wouldn’t think to seek the reason for the destruction of the universal law."

Ivita was increasingly curious, why do all those civilizations possessing universal law get destroyed.

Why, on the monument of the tyrant Shaw, it is said that those who seek the Law will be condemned by heaven.

These questions, he will understand them in the future!

Even if he starts off as an ant, with the passage of time, this ant will eventually grow into a giant beast!

Ivita suppressed his curiosity about the universal law, turning to look at the pathetic soul mounted on the wooden frame.

This young man’s eyes did not possess the chaotic madness of the Fire Demon, instead, he regained the rationality of a human here.

He looked despairingly into the distance, his eyes didn’t move, unknown what he was looking at or thinking.

However, when Ivita looked at him, the young man appeared to have seen a savior, with an endless yearning for the last hope in his eyes.

"Save me..."

"Please, save me, you are now the judge of the Thousand-Year Fire, your command is the will of the Thousand-Year Fire, you are the only one who can save me."

"I have been tortured here for a full 400 years."

"I have made mistakes, but a person who has been tortured for 400 years should have atoned for his sins, right? I suffer every moment here, my body has become a Fire Demon, as a dog of the flames, I must do whatever the flame commands, I must work while being tortured."

"Lord Ivita, please, save me. I beg you."

Chain after chain began to pull outward, hoisting up the young man’s limbs, hooking up his flesh and blood, causing him excruciating pain.

Melissa said to Ivita, "This is the trial, now it’s your turn to judge whether he should die now and his soul forever extinguished; or his soul eternally punished; or how many years of punishment before the death sentence is carried out?"

"All this is up to you as the judge of the Thousand-Year Fire to decide."

"Kill me! Kill me!" The young man seemed like a man who had been thirsty for many days in the desert, his eyes were shining, and there were deep dark circles around his eyes.

Ivita frowned.

Because he did not know the purpose of the Thousand-Year Fire letting him decide the fate of the traitor.

Is it testing my values?

What is the standard of judgment?

Seeing his hesitation, Melissa opened her mouth and said, "Just judge according to what you think is fair."

Ivita nodded his head, the judgment based on my idea of justice?

It seems that the purpose of the Thousand-Year Fire is to see my values.

But the key to the problem is not what I think is fair, but what the Thousand-Year Fire thinks is fair.

Melissa spoke again. "Don’t be influenced by speculative thoughts."

"Your life is no longer in danger, when the woman behind you blocked the flame giant for you, you already passed the life-risking trial, that round was testing your strength, but luck and subordinates and friends, all are your strength."
