"Then I can only say that your Great Sin of Greed might have a slight problem."

Master Merlin said seriously:

"The Great Sins symbolize the Path of Godhood. Anyone who possesses any one of the Great Sins is a fortunate one who can leave a mark in the history of the world."

"But it's impossible for you to have two Great Sins at the same time because under normal circumstances, your weak body simply cannot withstand the impact of two Great Sins."

"You're lucky not to have died on the spot."

Louis said confusedly:

"Then what is my situation?"

Merlin said:

"First, let me clarify some rules about the owners of Great Sins for you."

"First, each person will initially have only one Great Sin."

"Second, for those below the archetype level, it's impossible to bear two Great Sins; the capacity of the vessel is insufficient."

"Third, if there are multiple Great Sins, then someone must have used [Gluttony] to completely digest the other side; only then can they walk the path of possessing the power of multiple Great Sins."

"Fourth, even demigods can only endure four Great Sins; any more and the body will have problems."

Louis looked at Merlin:

"How credible is this information?"

Merlin sighed and said:

"Do you know why the Elf Realm fell so quickly?"

Louis was taken aback:

"Wasn't it because all the races attacked them together?"

Merlin snorted coldly and said:

"It was a collective attack, but that's not the essence of it. The fundamental reason is that the elves lost their ultimate force."

"Think about it, if your Emperor from the Ense Empire could still freely move on the continent, how many countries would dare to dismember Ense?"

Louis was trembling: "You mean..."

"You should have guessed... that the one who possessed the power of four Great Sins was the Elf King of our Elf Realm era."

Louis had been reading a lot of materials these days, and quickly matched it to the historical record.

The last Elf King of the Elf Realm was acknowledged as the strongest on the continent, but after going to explore a certain secret realm, he disappeared directly.

Then not long after, the enclaves governed by the Elf Realm across the continent started a grand counterattack.

A hundred years later, under the cooperation of various countries, the Elf Realm was soon dismembered into many parts.

When the Elf Realm disintegrated, humans had not yet become the dominant powerful race on the Star Continent.

This was also the reason why the major branches of elves were directly next to the soil of the three great human empires when consolidating their military forces.

Louis estimated that back then, the elves thought the surrounding human nations were not that strong and would be easily handled.

They also need a buffer zone between them and other races, so they allowed the development of human city-states.

Who would have expected humans to develop so quickly?

Quietly, without anyone noticing, they completed an internal metamorphosis.

The Hidden Forest bordered the Tunisian Republic.

The High Forest bordered the Ense Empire.

Originally, there was also a major elven race bordering the Lokeshi Empire.

However, they were not as lucky as the Hidden Forest and the High Forest.

In their weakest period, they faced the then most powerful Lokeshi Empire.

So, in the astonishment of everyone, that elf race was directly wiped out.

Their national title directly became history, and the land was incorporated into the Lokeshi Empire.

The vast majority of their members fled to the Hidden Forest and the High Forest.

This is also why dealing with these two places has become so tricky for Tunisia and Ense.

After the two major Elf Realms completed their reinforcement, they became more difficult to deal with.

On the contrary, the Lokeshi Empire swept through the surrounding areas and entered the fast track of historical development.

Louis even recalled hearing from others long ago about a feature of the Lokeshi Empire—

People of Lokeshi do not believe in gods.

Yes, on the Star Continent with numerous gods, there is only one major country that resists belief in gods.

That is the Lokeshi Empire.

Why dare to do this?

Simply because at their peak, they were strong enough.

Believing in a god was less reliable than believing in oneself, and this even affected their extraordinary systems.

The Curse Swordsmen of the Lokeshi Empire were somewhat similar to Arcane Knights.

They could use both sorcery and swordsmanship.

The most widely used secret art over there is called "Inner Gaze Divine."

To nurture a god of freedom within one's own heart.

That god of freedom bore a resemblance to oneself.

This typical attitude of "faith in oneself over faith in gods" endowed the Curse Swordsmen with unparalleled sharp will.

It sounds almost amusing, that although the Nine Swords of the Ense Empire possessed unparalleled melee destructive power, from a purely technical standpoint, the Curse Swordsmen of the Lokeshi Empire actually surpassed the Nine Swords.

This can be seen from the fact that they never lacked figures like Sword Saints and Sword Masters.

The history of the three great human empires has been intertwined with the elves all along.

But Louis really hadn't expected that the Elf King back at that time was also a bearer of the Great Sin, and even had gathered 4 Great Sins.

After hesitating for a moment, Louis said:

"Wasn't the Elf King back then reported missing because of exploring a secret realm?"

Master Merlin shook his head and said:

"Of course not, with his strength, no one on the entire continent could kill him at that time, not even if deities descended as saints could they do it."

"He died from a conflict of his own powers; he had already absorbed the domains of three Great Sins at the time, but something went wrong when absorbing the fourth domain."
