Chapter 436 - 330: Refining Water Blue Star into a Seed!
Tongue-removal Hell!!
These Yin-attributed natural treasures floating in the air, under Xuanqing’s control, were like dancing elves.
Soon, in this gray space, a special layer of architecture appeared.
There were densely packed crosses lined up neatly, with cuffs fixed on them for securing all four limbs, and on the side, there were matching iron tongs!
Those who were in the world, who stirred up strife, slandered and harmed others, talked smoothly, debated eloquently, lied and deceived, causing serious consequences… would be thrown into this tongue-removal hell after death.
They would be fixed to the cross, and by a professional Yin servant, their evil souls’ mouths would be pried open, and then their tongues would be clamped with iron tongs and slowly pulled out… until the tongue broke.
This kind of direct injury to the God Soul would be extremely painful. Even if the tongue was broken, it would grow back quickly under the nourishment of Yin Qi and then repeat the previous pain.
At the side,
Huai Qingyun, watching this scene, couldn’t help but shiver. He could already imagine in his mind the horrors that the evil souls who fell into Hell would suffer.
After the first layer was built,
Xuanqing did not stop his movements. He continued to wield the whisk in his hand, controlling the natural treasures, and began building the second layer.
Scissor Hell!!
Originally, this layer was mainly used to punish those who encouraged widows to remarry or those who acted as matchmakers for widows.
But taking into account different regions and different times, there should be different customs.
As long as it’s not cheating within marriage, or committing evil acts like Ximen Qing, the remarriage of a widow after her husband’s death is reasonable and acceptable.
So,
Xuanqing modified the second layer of Scissor Hell for those who seduced other people’s spouses, cuckolded husbands or wives, and caused serious consequences. They would suffer this punishment.
Next!
The third layer Iron Tree Hell… the fourth layer Sin Environment Hell… the fifth layer Steaming Cage Hell… all the way to the eighteenth layer Knife and Saw Hell!
Xuanqing made certain modifications to each layer of Hell according to the customs and practices of the Water Blue Star.
After all,
The original Eighteen Layers of Hell were a product of the Game World, similar to the background of ancient feudal society.
If they were not modified and directly applied to modern society, it would be somewhat inappropriate.
Just like the second layer of Scissor Hell, where a widow would be punished for remarrying, or those who urged widows to remarry or acted as matchmakers, this punishment would be unreasonable and unacceptable.
Especially the eighteenth layer… Knife and Saw Hell.
Xuanqing specifically modified it to: besides the original punishment for cutting corners, deceiving and using inferior materials, there was another rule added… those who maliciously destroyed their homes and habitats would also be sent to Knife and Saw Hell.
Of course, like the previous seventeen layers of Hell, only those who caused serious consequences would be sent to this layer.
Otherwise, small acts like cheating customers at a roadside stall, though odious, would not warrant such punishment.
The main targets were major incidents like those involving ‘Some Substandard Milk Powder’ or ‘Some Fake Vaccine’.
Anyone involved in such incidents would not escape, and would be sent to the eighteenth layer of Hell to suffer the pain of constant cutting with knives and saws.
With the Eighteen Layers of Hell built,
Next,
It’s time to add time rules to it, so it could officially operate. And for the first batch of prisoners, he already had some choices in mind.
“The first layer will have a time ratio of 10:1. For every layer added below that, the ratio will increase by ten!”
Xuanqing made up his mind.
The next moment,
His left eye turned black, and his right eye turned white. The contrast between black and white represented the Yin-Yang Law.
Whoosh ~
With whisk in hand, streaks of black and white light, like a Yin-Yang fish, shot towards the first layer of Scissor Hell.
As the Yin-Yang light circles brushed past, the time flow of this layer was based on the human world’s time of Water Blue Star, with a ratio of ten to one.
In other words… one day in real life passed, and ten days have passed in this first layer of Scissor Hell.
During this period, the punished Yin souls won’t die, and they will be continuously nourished by Yin Qi during their punishment.
In a sense, this could be considered as achieving… a different kind of immortality!
After the first layer was completed,
Then,
The second layer… the time ratio was modified to 20:1. One day in the Real World and twenty days here.
The third layer: 30:1, the fourth layer: 4.0:1, the fifth layer: 50:1…
By the time it reached the eighteenth layer of Hell, the time ratio with the Real World of Water Blue Star had reached a terrifying 180:1.
That is to say, 180 days of punishment in the Eighteen Layer Hell would only be one day in the Real World.
The main reason for the larger gap with the Real World’s time ratio as it went down is that the deeper it goes, the more sinful it becomes, and the longer the punishment time.
In this case, if the time ratio is not set higher, the souls might still be suffering even when the world explodes.
After perfecting the time flow of all eighteen layers,
“Phew~” Xuanqing let out a long breath.
Changing the time flow continuously, especially the high ratio of 180 days to 1 day, even he could not help but feel a little tired.
“Qingyun!”
Xuanqing glanced at the shivering child beside him and called out softly.
