From waking up until now, Berna has always behaved extremely humble.

There is no other way, because when he opened his eyes, he found that there were so many formations arranged on his body. He had no other choice. After all, his life and death were in the hands of the other party.

Based on this, Berna has already done his best. He hopes to survive, he hopes to resolve the situation, and he hopes to wait for the promise he has been waiting for.

But until now, Berna finally woke up and realized that he was wrong, he was very wrong.

Perhaps, his way of dealing with things can be effective when facing people other than the young man in front of him.

However, in other words, the person who can be effective in this regard would not deliberately move his body from the Palace of Thoughts to here and arrange everything.

This is a paradox. Berna didn't realize this at first. It is difficult for anyone who has just awakened from a hundred years of sleep to immediately see everything clearly around them.

The other party is not here to solve the puzzle, because the other party knows a lot of secrets about him. It is somewhat exaggerated that, after a hundred years, the other party's narration does not seem like an investigator, but more like someone who has personally experienced it.

The other party is not here to negotiate. The many formations bound to his body are not to increase bargaining chips in negotiations, but to prevent him from struggling when being judged.

This is a trial, a trial that has long been destined.

The previous communication, words, and preparations were just a way for the other party to gain pleasure by trampling on him, a humiliation before execution.

I'm really stupid, really.

This is what Berna is thinking now. If it weren't for having something to seek, who would be willing to be so humble?

And once there is really no way out, then flattery loses the soil to continue to exist.

"After going around for a long time, it turns out to be a judgment from the light." A smile appeared on Berna's face. "The light is hidden in the order. It's really hard for you. For this revenge, you have paid such a great price."

Karun shook his head and said, "No, you are wrong. Dealing with you is just a detour. I have never deliberately detoured because of you, nor have I deliberately stayed."

He himself is like this, and the captain is also like this.

If it weren't for the war between Order and Samsara, neither he nor the captain would have come to Dark Moon Island.

Berna responded, "You can get a lot of benefits from me, such as the treasures I left before I fell asleep. There are three on Dark Moon Island, and there are several on other nearby islands. I also know many precious secret realms. These are valuable wealth that you can obtain from me. In addition, I have a very rich experience and can give you a lot of help.

You are just a Radiant Cultivator, and I believe you need it. If you give up revenge, you can have better development."

In the original Bright God Sect system, Radiant Cultivators are equivalent to judges of the Order God Sect.

Being a judge means going beyond the scope of a shepherd and becoming an existence that can represent the Order and exercise judgment. Radiant Cultivators, also known as Radiants, mean that they can represent the light and shine it on the people around them.

Karun replied, "You should know that what I said when I was chatting with you just now was all true. If I want to, Dark Moon Island can be mine in the future. Why would I care about your wealth? As for experience, secret realms, and so on...

I'm sorry, but I am much richer than you can imagine.

Your experience is not even as good as my family's dog."

Karun spread his hands, and a stone-made lamp next to him was lifted and flew into Karun's hand. Immediately, a ray of bright flame appeared, bringing sacredness and gentleness.

"Your judgment, apart from revenge, will be meaningless!"

"Throwing away meaning and only seeking revenge is the greatest happiness."

"Your vision is extremely short-sighted!"

"I only enjoy the present."

"Aren't you worried about your future development?"

"What I am least worried about is my talent."

Karun walked to the side of the coffin and tilted the lamp towards Berna. The flame began to tilt and fell on Berna's chest.

It was very weak, but it would burn Berna's soul continuously, giving him long-lasting pain, like opening a wound that will never heal for a person, letting blood flow continuously. When it reaches a certain level, this person will die from excessive blood loss.

Karun had imagined many specific ways to punish Berna, but in the end, he chose this one.

Because Berna knew that violent resistance would result in the violent killing of the formations on his body;

And giving him this slow torture can make him endure the pain of his soul being roasted while still holding onto hope, waiting for the ultimate despair.

Speak up,

I give you the opportunity to continue speaking.

It was me who pushed you off the cliff, and it was me who held the only rope. Even if you know that this rope can never pull you ashore, are you willing to let go?

This is the real punishment.

A quick look at tinyurl.com/2p9emv8w will leave you more fulfilled.

"I believe that when you buried Miss Japhney alive in the coffin, you should have stood here and listened to the scratching sound coming from the coffin. Do you like this sound?

Coincidentally,

I like it too."

Berna's face twisted in pain, but he still stared at Karun firmly.

"What I say now is useless, right?""Yes, but I like listening to you."

"I have a secret, I can tell you!"

"Go ahead."

"You promise me a way out first. I don't know how many years I have been asleep, but I can feel that the date I have been waiting for should not be far away."

"I won't promise you."

"Don't you want to know the secret?"

"I want to know."

"Yes, you want to know. As you said earlier, I can spare Felias and the others because I know they are a group of good people, a group of kind fools.

I know that when I let them leave, they will choose to leave.

I don't have to worry about them retaliating against Darkmoon Island because of my broken promise. They won't do that. They are a group of good people, hehe."

"Yes, they are a group of good people."

"But I did it, I didn't spare anyone, I killed them all, even Felias. Although he escaped, I'm not worried about him at all because he was seriously injured when he escaped. He won't live long."

"Yes, he died."

"Someone gave me guidance, gave me clear instructions, and made me an irresistible promise. That's why I did it. Do you want to know?"

"I want to know."

"Then, let me go?"

"No, I won't let you go."

Bernard: "......"

A smile appeared at the corner of Karun's mouth as he looked at Bernard, who had been suffering. He said, "Sorry, I am not Felias."

"Do you want me to die with this secret?"

"It's up to you."

"What is your name? At least I should know who I died at the hands of!"

Karun did not answer.

"You dare not tell me your name, hahaha, you dare not tell me your name. Are you afraid? Oh no, you are not afraid of me, you are afraid that what you are doing now will be known outside. No, you are afraid that your actions today will be known by my secret, right?"

"Yes."

"Now that you know fear, you should understand how terrifying that secret is. You should stop now."

"Do you know why you are doomed to die? It's because I am truly afraid. The more I am afraid, the more you have to die."

"You are different from Felias."

"I just said that."

"Felias is a true believer of the light, but you are not."

"As you just saw, I believe in order."

"You are just a remnant of light hidden in the order sequence. Do you really deserve to call yourself a believer of order? Hehe, this is why remnants of light have never been completely eliminated. You are too good at hiding, like maggots in a public toilet. They look tender and white, but they always lurk in the dirtiest corners!"

Ah!!!"

The burning pain from his soul made Bernard's words more and more extreme. He was now like a person drowning up and down, he could only quickly say what he wanted to say, there was no time to polish it in his mind.

"Tell me your conditions, I will give you everything I can!"

Karun said, "What you can't have, I have."

Bernard's face had turned wax yellow. The soul was not liquid, but it seemed to be able to evaporate. Bernard was getting closer to death, and the pain he was enduring now could not be described in words.

From another perspective, his will to survive was indeed strong.

Karun felt that if he were lying here now, facing this situation, he would have started cursing and all kinds of offensive words would have come out, just wanting to vent before he died, regardless of the language used.

But he didn't.

But the more Bernard was like this, the more it proved that Karun's chosen method of punishment was correct.

Karun reached out and gently flicked the flame on Bernard's chest with his fingertips. It was so cute.

"I don't believe Miss Pall would be willing to be with you. She is not interested in men at all!"

"You can't represent all men."

"She is just a woman who pursues adventure!"

"She will also get tired."

"She can't stand being alone at home!"

"She can endure loneliness better than anyone now."

After all, she had been a cat in the Inmoleis family for so long, and she hadn't gone crazy. She still maintained her spoiled nature. Karun couldn't compare to her in terms of enduring loneliness.

"She likes to eat what dish?"

"She likes to eat fish."

"I thought she would have been tired of seafood a long time ago. She is not very satisfied with what I cook for her."

"I have tasted the seafood on Darkmoon Island. It's really bad."

"I like her."

"I know."

"Every time she rejects me, it excites me."

"I understand."

"After each rejection, I want to possess her even more!"

"I understand."

"If she wasn't so powerful, she would have been the mistress of Darkmoon Island long ago."

"I understand."

Karun never doubted Puerh's strength back then. Siti had a conflict with Puerh, which led to Grandpa's negotiation with the Order of the Gods in the church before he fell asleep. He deliberately hung Siti on the cross to let him enjoy the breeze.

Having a conflict with the temple elder was enough to show Puerh's strength and status back then.

After all, she once sighed that if she had known not to choose the family's belief system, she didn't expect the ancestor to be so weak.Entering the Dark Moon Island, the clearer Karun understood Bernard's almost pathological possessiveness, the clearer it became that if it weren't for Puerh's own strength, she would not be facing an obedient lapdog, but a hungry wolf baring its fangs.

"She's beautiful, isn't she?"

"Yes."

"What do you like about her? If you don't want to, you don't have to tell me."

"I don't like overly thin figures. Her figure is just right."

"I..."

"And her temper. She might not be nice to you, but she often acts cute towards me. Sometimes, when she realizes she said something wrong, she would come and comfort me, hug me."

"Temper..."

"Do you know, every time I watch her eat, I think she's so adorable. She's someone who is easily satisfied. A pack of 5 Order Coupons can buy her happiness for an entire afternoon."

"Go die! Go die!!!!!!"

Bernard completely lost it. The restraints on him appeared once again, suppressing him.

Karun really didn't mind saying these things because he knew it would make Bernard even more miserable.

It wasn't disrespectful to Puerh either. If Puerh were here, she would only encourage him to say more, to make him suffer even more!

Most importantly, Karun had always known that the Dark Moon Wheel in Bernard's eyes had never dissipated.

He knew that what he said was the truth.

Unfortunately, he didn't know that Puerh was currently a cat.

Even if Bernard struggled, he still maintained his last bit of restraint. If he attempted to attack Karun, the two guaranteed formations set up by Mr. Eisen would instantly annihilate his soul.

This made Karun realize once again that the manipulation method of the Guman family's formations was truly useful.

Mr. Hofen had given him rich theories and illustrations of formations. If he could also master the practical application of the Guman family's formations, his future achievements in formations would be unimaginable.

Unfortunately, he also had the bloodline of the Guman family.

Dis hadn't told him about the Guman family, and although Puerh knew, she hadn't specifically told him earlier. This meant that in their eyes, the Guman family was not a completely trustworthy entity.

Mr. Eisen was slightly better in this regard, but the reason for that was also because of his illness...

A sick person from the Guman family was more worthy of trust.

Therefore, the problem should lie with Lord Delong. He was definitely different from Dis. He should be purely loyal to Order.

But it seemed that his grandmother was not like that.

She recognized him, seemed to know of his existence, and even took the initiative to help him keep it a secret.

Dis had come to Wien with a clone before, besides killing that little fly, did he also meet some other people?

Bernard finally calmed down, and then he saw Karun lost in thought!

When he was torturing himself, Karun was lost in thought!

A huge sense of humiliation and resentment filled Bernard's heart. He wanted to roar again, but he sensed a deep exhaustion from his soul.

"I can tell you that secret."

"Oh, sorry, what did you just say?"

Bernard: "..."

Karun responded with a smile.

"Even if you are the light, you still don't have the qualification to judge me, because Phileas, back then, didn't believe in the light at all. He was a rebel against the light!

Since I met him until these years on the island, I have never heard praise for the God of Light from their mouths. They only praise the light, but not the God of Light!

I kill them not because I am an enemy of the Light Church, but because I am cleaning up the rebels for the Light Church!

So, you don't have the qualification to judge me, no qualification!"

"Then do you remember that what I just praised was only the light, without mentioning the God?"

Bernard: "..."

"Some things you cannot understand, cannot comprehend, even if I have explained it clearly to you, you still cannot grasp and understand it clearly."

"So, are you really the same kind of person as Phileas?"

"Yes."

"Then you are in danger."

"I am concealed within Order."

"Hahaha, you're trying to trick me with my own words, aren't you?"

"Yes."

"But let me tell you, it's useless. You don't know how terrifying they are, and you don't know what price they are willing to pay to kill Phileas and kill you!"

"Well, it's terrifying. The lamp oil is almost burned out."

Bernard's soul was quickly being roasted dry.

"Let me go, and I will tell you everything. Otherwise, no matter how well you hide, someone will come to investigate the cause of my death. I have made promises with them!"

"You speak first."

"You won't keep your promises!"

"Yes, I won't."

"They allow the existence of those who question the gods. They even allow the existence of priests who question the gods. But they will not allow someone with the same abilities as them to walk the same path as them!

Quick, extinguish it, and I will tell you everything!"

"Don't extinguish it."

"The gods have always existed!"

"Yes, I know."

"The gods have always been watching the world!"

"You can continue with your nonsense."

"The gods will descend!"Karun's gaze shifted slightly. This was a prophecy, but Berna was a man from a hundred years ago, and he had known about this prophecy in advance.

"It was the light that came before me, asking me to kill Phelias and the others, promising me that when the gods descend, the Dark Moon will merge into the light, and I will become an elder of the light!

Quick, extinguish it, extinguish it, I am willing to give my place to you, to you! I can tell you the time and place, not just me, others have also received promises!

Extinguish it quickly, extinguish it, I will tell you everything!

Otherwise,

You will never know this secret, I will take it to the grave!"

Karun remained unmoved.

With his last bit of strength, Berna yelled, "You beast!!!"

The flame went out, not extinguished by Karun, but because Berna's soul had been thoroughly roasted until it dissipated, everything returned to calm.

"Sigh."

Karun sighed, stood up, and the robe of light on his body disappeared.

He reached out his hand, pointing to Berna lying in the coffin, his left eye swirling with the depth of order, a black chain spread out from under Karun's feet, covering Berna's body.

"Order—Awaken!"

The last time "Awaken" was used, it failed because Berna was not dead.

This time "Awaken" was successful because Berna was dead.

Karun felt the spiritual power within him being drawn away, gradually, Berna opened his eyes.

He looked around in disbelief, looking at Karun. He knew that his power was equivalent to the ninth level of other family's belief systems. To awaken him would require a terrifying price, and not just the price, but also a terrifying realm.

And Karun, he had successfully awakened him!

How was this possible!

This was not something that light could do, absolutely not!

"Who... who are you?"

Karun reached out with his left hand to pick up the stone lamp, and with a snap of his right hand, a ball of black order fire appeared at his fingertips. He leaned over and lit the stone lamp.

Then, Karun tilted the lamp, and the black order flame, supported by the burning spiritual power, poured onto Berna's chest.

Karun moved the lamp to the side, sat back down next to the stone coffin, and clapped his hands:

"Alright, let's continue."

Berna: "......"

I need to think about the plot for the next chapter, so it will be written slowly. Don't stay up late waiting, check it in the morning. Lastly, I'm asking for monthly tickets!
