Chương 821: The Heavenly Gulag

"Then… am I to be judged?" I asked, dreading the answer.

"Yes," it replied, the single word hanging in the air like a death sentence.

"The heavens are never unfair," the being stated, as if it were an immutable fact.

"I beg to differ," I countered, my mind racing to form an argument that might save me. "I had no intention of learning any secrets. They were simply deductions. If the heavens truly wanted to keep the knowledge of Soul energy and Origin Energy hidden, why did they embed the thought in my mind?"

"It wasn't a thought that anyone should venture and think of, reincarnator," the being replied, its voice cold and unyielding.
