Chapter 688: 152, Everyone spits and curses
Enshrouded in the fog of the Illusion Realm, Lin Yue squinted slightly as he looked at the Divine Dream Envoy clad in a black robe before him.
None of the hundreds of previous public executions had involved Saint-level powerhouses.
This time... Had it finally come to the execution of a Saint-level powerhouse?
A public execution of a Saint-level powerhouse, inviting the entire world to pass judgment?
Indeed, they wanted to blow this up...
However, he was somewhat puzzled.
Why hadn't the Crown Prince uttered any statements nor issued any commands up until now?
Or proclaimed to the world, at least trying to stabilize the hearts of the people?
At this moment, the Divine Dream Envoy finally began.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the person to be executed this time is the infamous leader of the Green Lamp Sect from the Demon Path, well-known for his heinous reputation in the southeastern four provinces. I believe the commoners and Cultivators there have all heard of his infamy."
The Divine Dream Envoy chuckled lowly, and then with a wave of his sleeve, a white-haired man in a green robe appeared by his side,
and thus appeared before the eyes of the world.
As the Sect Hierarch of the Green Lamp Sect, a common Saint-level powerhouse and considered to be the youngest titan of the Demon Path in the last century, Lin Yue recognized him at a glance.
The Sect Hierarch of the Green Lamp Sect stood there with an icy expression, his gaze somewhat unpleasant.
He had long tried to seal his Six Senses and lock his Divine Soul, but this so-called True Dream Realm still effortlessly dragged his consciousness into it.
As a prominent figure in the Demon Path for the past century, he had never imagined such an outrageous event would occur, let alone that he would have to be judged by a group of Mortals, weaker than ants!
But... what could he do them?
Was he supposed to beg for mercy from all the Mortals in the world?
That was more humiliating than death itself.
Moreover... he didn't think begging would be of any use.
"Sect Hierarch of the Green Lamp Sect, merit of two thousand four hundred and seventy-two, sins... two thousand four hundred and five."
The Divine Dream Envoy spoke, "Among all the Sinners in these public executions, this Sect Hierarch of the Green Lamp Sect is the most deeply sinful and also the originator of the Green Lamp Sect, so it is only fitting that he be judged by the people of the world."
"Sect Hierarch of the Green Lamp Sect."
He looked at the Green Lamp Sect Hierarch and said, "Next, I will outline the sins you have committed to the people of the world. I will make public everything that I know, and although I cannot allow you to speak freely and deceive the people, you may choose to accept, or you can say, 'I deny.' These three words will indicate that what I have said is untrue, and afterwards, I can give you a chance to rebut."
The Sect Hierarch of the Green Lamp Sect was silent.
The rule of this True Dream Realm was—the more people that watched, the greater the cost of lying.
He had seen a Great Cultivator, who merely told a lie in front of millions of people in a county, only to be immediately discovered and suffered immense pain, causing the Great Cultivator to collapse on the spot, screaming for mercy, never daring to experience it a second time.
And him?
At this moment, billions of people across the world were watching him!
With so many people watching, if he dared to lie, the pain would be unimaginably terrifying. He did not dare to even imagine it.
"First, the doctrine of the Green Lamp Sect is to use Life Soul Points to light lamps and flesh and blood as oil, treating living beings as resources for cultivation. This doctrine originates from you, am I wrong?"
The voice of the Divine Dream Envoy was low, while his gaze remained fixated on the Sect Hierarch of the Green Lamp Sect.
The Sect Hierarch of the Green Lamp Sect frowned, opened his mouth as if wanting to say something, but no sound came out.
Then he realized that he could only say the words 'I deny.'
But...
What the Divine Dream Envoy said was indeed the truth; if he denied it, wouldn't he be lying?
He wanted to declare that the initial teachings of the Green Lamp Sect targeted the unrighteous, and after spreading, some overstepped the bounds, but there were penalties within the sect.
However, the Divine Dream Envoy had not mentioned this point.
While it was only partial truth, he could not deny it.
He could only accept it as truth.
"Second, the Vice Sect Hierarch of the Green Lamp Sect once slaughtered millions of living beings in an entire county, and you, as the Sect Hierarch, clearly knew about it but did not stop it. Instead, you helped to conceal it. Am I wrong in saying this?"
The Divine Dream Envoy continued to ask.
The Sect Hierarch of the Green Lamp Sect remained silent.
The Vice Hierarch once slaughtered millions; such a large commotion was naturally known to him.
But it was the Twelfth Prince's command, how could he stop it?
Now that the Twelfth Prince and the Vice Hierarch were dead, there was no evidence to prove anything, leaving him unable to refute the claim.
Moreover... the facts the Divine Dream Envoy stated were indeed true.
How could he deny it?
"Third..."
"Fourth..."
Each and every sin, event by event, was publicly disclosed by the Divine Dream Envoy.
Though they were all truths, most were partial truths.
If he truly were such an unforgivable villain for no reason whatsoever, he would probably have been annihilated long ago.
But he was unable to refute them.
"...Above are the sixteen sins of the Green Lamp Sect Hierarch."
The Divine Dream Envoy said, "Lastly, since you have two thousand four hundred and five merit points, it indicates you have also provided significant help to the Human Clan, but... most of this merit has been given to you by the major figures of Di Hong City to counteract your sins, and most of them were not out of genuine kindness for the Human Clan. Am I wrong?"
The Sect Hierarch of the Green Lamp Sect was still unable to refute and stood in silence.
The fact was indeed as described.
If he had to say it, he was indeed just compensating, not truly acting out of genuine kindness for the Human Clan.
But how many people are there who are willing to sincerely dedicate themselves to others?
"Since you have already acceded, it proves my words to be true. Next, it is time for the people of the world to decide your fate."
