There was an old blind man living in a mountain village that was like a paradise.
The old blind man was an unfortunate man. He had been blind since birth, and there was no other color in his world except black.
However, the old blind man was also a happy man. Even though he was blind, he had a lover when he was young. The two of them loved each other and got married. They even had seven children.
However, all the misfortunes began to come one after another.
When the old blind man's wife gave birth to the seventh child, she died from a difficult birth, leaving the middle-aged old blind man to raise the seven children alone.
Although the old blind man was blind, he was good at calligraphy, knew how to play the erhu, and was very eloquent and eloquent.
Therefore, the old blind man performed on the streets during the day, or played the erhu, or made up stories to tell to passersby in exchange for some money.
At night, he would write a bunch of excellent calligraphy but extremely cheap couplets because he was not famous. He sold them for some living expenses.
The old blind man worked day and night and could barely support the seven children. Some people advised him to sell a few of the children or send them to other families to raise, but the old blind man refused. His heart ached for every child, and he could not bear to part with any of them.
There were also people who advised him to find a wife before he grew old. Even if she was ugly or had dementia, it would be fine. That way, he would have another helper. The old blind man refused as well. He still loved his deceased wife deeply and would always keep the position of a wife for her.
The old blind man worked day and night for a full ten years, and the seven children finally grew up one after another. The eldest son finally became an adult at the age of eighteen. Ten years of neglecting to eat and sleep had long made the old blind man's body extremely weak. However, perhaps it was God's mercy. During these ten years, the old blind man did not have a single serious illness. He did not even have a cold or a fever.
However, the tragedy started when the eldest son was eighteen years old.
The eldest son, who was a brick-moving worker at the construction site, could not stand the bullying of the foreman. In a rage, he smashed the foreman to death with a brick!
It was a scene of blood and brains splattering everywhere. The blind old woman couldn't see it, but she heard from the prison guards about the foreman's tragic death and the beast-like madness of her eldest son when he was enraged.
The old blind man didn't believe it at all because his eldest son was clearly a simple, amiable, kind, and timid person who didn't even dare to step on an ant and had never said anything out of anger. How could he possibly kill others in a fit of anger?
However, the evidence was irrefutable. Many workers had witnessed the cruel scene, and any rebuttal would be useless.
His eldest son was sentenced to death, and his head rolled on the execution ground.
The whole family was immersed in sorrow, but the tragedy was just the beginning.
The next year, the second son committed suicide by jumping into the sea, leaving behind a suicide note.
The extremely handsome second son was the greatest pride of the family. He was extremely intelligent, and the whole family pinned their hopes on him. They provided for him to study, and he was also very diligent. Usually, his grades were excellent, and a few days ago, he finally passed the imperial examination. After the examination, he compared the answers and seemed to have the hope of becoming the top scholar.
The second son also had a beautiful lover, and the two of them loved each other very much.
However, the more outstanding a person was, the more jealousy would be aroused. An ugly young master of a rich family with extremely poor grades was jealous of everything that the second son had, and used money to deprive the second son of everything.
The rich young master used the second son's background to separate the two lovers, and then he switched the two's test papers. He even schemed to frame the second son, causing him to lose his reputation, and all of his close friends began to stay away from him.
The second son couldn't bear such a contrast in reality, and actually committed suicide, leaving behind only a suicide note to explain everything.
The blind old woman was inconsolable, but she had no ability to avenge her son.
However, the tragedy was far from over.
In the fourth year, the third son turned eighteen. The blind old woman took out what little savings she had and held a banquet for him. She never expected that the third son, who had never eaten his fill since he was young, would overeat in joy, causing him to choke to death.
In the fifth year, the fourth daughter was as beautiful as a flower, and at the age of seventeen, she married into a good family. A few days later, there was bad news. The fourth daughter's husband died in bed, and the fourth daughter claimed that it was her fault. She also committed suicide. The blind old woman wanted to cry, but no tears came out. He knew how shy and conservative his daughter was, so how could it be the fourth daughter's fault that her husband died in bed?
In the sixth year, the humble fifth son offended an arrogant martial artist and was beaten to death. The reason was that the fifth son's overly humble attitude made the martial artist think that he was posturing. The arrogant martial artist couldn't stand others posturing in front of him. He wanted to force the fifth son to use his full strength, but he didn't expect the fifth son to be so weak that he accidentally killed the fifth son.
In the eighth year, the hardworking sixth daughter found a job in the textile factory. However, due to the laziness of a few senior women, they pushed all the work to the sixth daughter. The sixth daughter was hardworking and respected the elders. She didn't complain, but in the end, she died of exhaustion.
In the tenth year, the upright seventh son worked for the government. The county magistrate was extremely greedy, and he secretly committed many crimes. Just as he was about to be exposed, he schemed to turn the seventh son into a scapegoat. The county magistrate was quite powerful, and the blind old woman was powerless to reverse the situation. All she could do was watch as her last son was beheaded.
At this point, the seven children that the blind old woman had raised alone for ten years all died in ten years.
The way they died made the blind old woman disappointed in the world and humanity, and even developed hatred.
How could the honest eldest son kill someone in a rage? He must have been bullied so badly that he couldn't take it anymore.
How could the shy and conservative fourth daughter kill her husband in bed? It must have been the husband who couldn't control his desires and caused his own death.
Why did the third son overeat and kill himself? It was because the world was too cruel to the poor. Even eating one's fill was an extravagant hope.
Not to mention the second son who was forced to death by a jealous rich young master, the fifth son who was beaten to death by an arrogant martial artist, the sixth daughter who was killed by a lazy old woman, and the seventh son who was killed by a greedy county magistrate.
The deaths of his seven children were not their fault. It was the world's fault. It was the fault of those ugly humans.
The blind old woman lived the rest of her life in grief and hatred. However, she was just a weak old woman. She didn't have the ability to take revenge, so she could only curse the world and all humans when she was alone at night.
If she had the power …
Suddenly, one day, the blind old woman opened her eyes. She saw the colors of the world.
It was a cold world that only had black and white.
"I heard that blood is red?"
The blind old woman who had suddenly regained her vision, but was extremely f * * king color-blind wanted to add some new colors to the black and white world.
And at this moment, he possessed the power to do all of this.
…
…
After the blind old woman opened her eyes, Shi Xiaobai also opened his eyes, ending the long sorrowful but extremely realistic dream.
After opening her eyes, she realized that she was lying on a soft bed. Golden willow branches covered the clear sky like a waterfall. There was a faint fragrance in the fresh and natural air.
Her right hand seemed to be leaning on something soft.
Shi Xiaobai was slightly surprised as he turned his head to take a look. He realized that a purple-haired girl was hugging his right hand and leaning tightly on his right side. Her eyes were closed as she slept soundly.
The purple-haired girl was naturally Kali. At this moment, Kali had returned to her original appearance. She was wearing a black gothic dress and a white eyepatch over her right eye. Her face was as exquisite as a pixie's.
Kali's original appearance was in fact even prettier than Ka Xiaozi's, especially after she took off the eyepatch. It was unknown why she was wearing an eyepatch.
Shi Xiaobai gently moved his right hand, hoping to pull it out from the soft embrace. Kali immediately moaned and opened her eyes.
"You are awake!"
Kali smiled in delight because Shi Xiaobai's eyes had already regained clarity. His hair had also returned to black.
Shi Xiaobai nodded and asked, "Where is this? What happened? "
Shi Xiaobai only remembered that he had used his superpower to siphon away the corruptive power in Kali's body. Then, he gradually lost consciousness and had a long dream. In the dream, he was a bystander, watching the tragic life of the blind old woman. His heart was still heavy, but he did not know what happened after that.
"This is the world of the seventh level … Nothing happened after you fell unconscious."
Kali said softly. It was best if Shi Xiaobai did not remember what happened when he was dominated by anger. She naturally would not mention it again.
Kali suddenly thought of something and grunted. Pretending to be angry, she said, "Shi Xiaobai, how can you do this? Do you know how worried I was? You still have no way of controlling that power. If something happens, what do you expect me to do? "
Upon hearing this, Shi Xiaobai said with a smile, "There's nothing to worry about. A mere corruptive power can't do anything to This King. Look, isn't This King fine? That corruptive power has already submitted to This King's feet! "
Kali rolled her eyes. That was not the case at all! However, she could not tell Shi Xiaobai that he had nearly been devoured by the corruptive power!
If not for him venting his anger through the endless and cruel slaughter, Shi Xiaobai might have completely lost his consciousness.
But thankfully, after killing the four mastermind monsters, which were the sixth, fifth, second and first level's Level Lords, Shi Xiaobai's anger was finally appeased. He temporarily returned to his original state.
Kali said softly, "In the future, you must pay attention to controlling your emotions. Remember to take deep breaths to calm yourself down when you encounter angry matters. Make sure not to be angry."
The corruptive power of anger still existed in Shi Xiaobai. If he was angered, it was very likely that he would revert back to his silver-haired appearance.
Shi Xiaobai was taken aback before he said with a smile, "Don't worry. The Wrath of the King is not something that anyone can provoke."
Upon hearing this, Kali felt mixed emotions.
Shi Xiaobai had mentioned the Wrath of the King several times, but this time, it was the real deal. If she were to anger Shi Xiaobai now, the outcome would be the same as tearing beef with her hands.
Shi Xiaobai thought about it and prepared to get up. He had been lying down for a long time, so his body was somewhat stiff.
However, Kali did not allow Shi Xiaobai to retract his right hand. She said softly, "Lie down a little longer. I still have questions to ask you!"
Shi Xiaobai hesitated for a moment before nodding. He also had questions to ask Kali.
He turned his head slightly. The two of them were already extremely close to each other, so their foreheads immediately touched.
An ambiguous atmosphere suddenly arose as Kali held her breath slightly.
Azure blue eyes and black eyes looked at each other, reflecting each other's looks.
The two pairs of lips were like magnets as they slowly approached each other.
After the corruptive power incident, Shi Xiaobai had accepted Kali from the bottom of his heart. He felt that it might be a pretty good thing. There was no need to mention Kali. After being alone for ten thousand years, she yearned for the feeling of companionship more than anyone else.
Just as the kiss was about to be completed, a loud rumble gave the two of them a fright.
The two of them looked up at the same time and saw a hole suddenly appear in the sky. A tiny black-lit person had crawled out of the hole!
Kali was immediately jolted awake as her expression changed drastically!
Gluttony had actually broken her seal and had chased her all the way to the seventh level?
Kali was about to get up and suppress the tiny black-lit person once again. This time, it was no longer deep in the sea, but deep in the abyss!
But at this moment, a hoarse voice sounded from the sky.
"You have clearly awakened, so why are you acting dumb?"
This was the voice produced by the tiny black-lit person. Furthermore, it was using modern human speech. Furthermore, it was enunciated with a pure accent and was extremely clear!
This sentence clearly landed in Kali and Shi Xiaobai's ears. There was no other existence around them, so clearly, the sentence was directed at the two of them!
Kali felt like she had been struck by lightning as her face immediately turned pale. She knew very well the meaning behind Gluttony's words. It was also what she was most afraid of, a cruel truth that she wanted to escape from!
While Kali was suppressing Gluttony, she had teased it by saying "learn how to speak well underwater". She never expected Gluttony to take it to heart and work so hard to learn how to speak.
What the heck was this!?
Kali immediately felt like crying. Gluttony's words had exposed the line of defense she had used to escape from reality.
She could no longer avoid it.
Kali turned her head to look at Shi Xiaobai, who was inches away from her. She felt a pain like her heart was bleeding.
Shi Xiaobai, you are indeed the Original Sin of Calamity?
And you have already awakened?
