Melon Boy and Blue Sparrow
That night Jin had a horrible nightmare, well, to be honest, it was an extremely weird dream.
He dreamt it in 3rd person. It was about couple discovering a baby inside a melon. The face of the couple was blurred out.
Although Jin could not see their facial expression he could sense their emotions. At first, both were astonished. But the wife quickly became happy. Obviously, she longed for a child of her own, she believed this baby was a gift from the heavens.
The husband, on the other hand, was suspicious.
'What is the origin of this baby, why did it appear inside the melon. Is he a demon in human form....', many thoughts went through the husbands head all of which Jin could sense.
The wife soon pleaded with the husband to adopt the baby, as there own.
But the husband was reluctant.
"What if it was someone else's child, would it alright to claim the child of another as there own", said the husband to the wife.
"He is obviously a gift from the gods to us if he was someone else's baby how would he end up inside a melon", said the wife.
"What if he is a demon", said the husband.
"He has no fangs or claws or horns, he is obviously a human", retorted the wife.
The argument went on for about half an hour till the husband gave up and accepted the baby as his child.
The wife was very happy.
They named him melon boy.
The baby grew up in the household as the only child, as time went on the father grew to love the boy, other than that nothing interesting happens for 15 years.
One day few months after his 15th after the melon boy accidentally wondered into a demons cave and accidentally destroyed a precious jewel of the demon.
The demon was furious he possessed the melon boy and used his body to attacked and killed his parents.
As his parents died the blurred face suddenly turned coherent and Jin switched from 3rd person to 1st person. The couple he killed were his own parents.
At this point, Jin woke up with cold sweet he forgot he was on a tree branch and fell down.
'What a fucked up dream', thought Jin.
He looked at his interface.

From the information that Jin got from the system <
When an expert achieves godhood they must extract all the 7 deadly sins with help of an element.
Normally when the expert will use the mixture of elements and sin to form avatars of themselves or use it make weapons.
But one expert named Rodrick used the amalgamation of sin and elements to make god tire cultivation technique.
They were, <
He with these 7 techniques went on to become the 3 most powerful god.
At that time there were two factions among the gods that were constantly at war. These two factions were the Celestials and the Transcenders.
The Celestials believed that energy in the omniverse is finite and a balance of power must be preserved. They don't believe in breaking the natural balance and taking energy excessively from the omniverse.
The Transcenders believed that the power in the omniverse is infinite and any problem with the omniverse can be solved by the omniverse itself. They believe personal power is the most important thing and breaking the natural balance is not an issue, if it can improve there own power.
Because of these opposing principals, the Celestials and the Transcenders were constantly fighting each other for supremacy.
Rodrick refused to join any faction as he very much enjoyed his freedom, and he did want to get involved with the fight between these two factions.
But as the power of Rodrick grew more two factions considered him as a threat as both factions were right now equal in power and whichever side Rodrick joins will have the advantage.
So both factions came together and made a treaty that they won't allow Rodrick to join there faction. And thus a temporary peace was achieved.
Rodrick was unconcerned with this, but as time went own, he grew lonely as all the immortal gods were ignoring him due to the treaty.
To remedy this he created skill seeds of the <<7 deadly techniques >> and dropped them into the mortal world. Whoever gets these skill seeds will be his disciple.
It is unknown how the system got the skill seed for <
According to the system, there are 4 conditions for becoming the disciple of Rodrick.
1) You must get one of the 7 skill seeds.
2) You must comprehend at least the first 30th layer of the skill seed.
3) You must attain pseudo-god cultivation level.
4) You must be uncorrupted by the sin of skill seed.
Of these 4 conditions, Jin has already completed the first condition.
And for the remaining three, Jin believed they are easy to attain. The 2nd condition he can easily complete it with enough metal Qi and auto-cultivation. As for 3rd condition, it was easiest of all as he can easily level up by killing enough ants, or demon beasts etc. The 4th condition, with his depression and lack of self-respect, it means that the sin of <
Or at least that is what Jin thought. But Jin was gravely underestimating the skill seed made by a God. There was once a pseudo-God who got one of the 7 skill seed, the <
But even with these risks, an innumerable number of people are searching for these skill seeds all across the omniverse. Including many pseudo-gods and demi-gods. This was because of the chance to become the disciple of the 3rd strongest God was too alluring.
But one must understand resisting the sin energy, is not a test of cultivation but a test of once willpower. God only knows if Jin has the willpower to resist the sin energy.

On a tree not far away from Jin
Samson was observing Jin. When Jin fell down from the tree he chuckled.
Samson was about to tell Michal about it when he saw that Michal was just blankly looking at the sky.
"What are you looking at?", asked Samson.
Michal did not answer and continued to look at the sky.
"Are you ignoring me now?? Like mother like son", said Samson.
"Hmmm........What? Oh, father, did you say something", asked Michal.
"........", Samson ignored Michal.
"I am sorry father I did not mean to ignore you", said Michal.
"........", Samson ignored Michal.
"Father, I have spy outside the red dragon forest collecting information on Muren Qin's movements. He supposed to send Blue Sparrow with the information he collected, and it should reach us right about now", said Michal.
Just as Michal said this the blue sparrow came flying in the direction of Michal.
Michal let it land on his hand and fed it some seeds and took the letter tied to its leg.
Blue Sparrow is a yellow rank 1 demon beast, it has a strong sense of smell so it travell between two people using its sense of smell.
In the Divine Wind Continent demon beasts are divided into 4 classes, Yellow, Xuna, Earth, Heaven. With Yellow being the weakest and Heaven being the strongest. Each class is further divided into 9 ranks.
Although Blue Sparrow is one of the weakest, it can be domesticated and used for communication. So it is one of the most widely used demonic beasts in Lufu empire.
"Hmmp......", Samson snorted, "Although you inherited you mothers ugly looks, at least you inherited my intelligence", said Samson.
"I am sure mother will love to know that", said Michal.
"Hmmp like I care", said Samson but in actuality, he was sweating bullets.
'Me and my big mouth', though Samson.
Who would have thought the great Samson was henpecked.
Michal ignored Samson and opened the letter reading its content his complexion darkened.
"What is it, boy? What is wrong?", asked Samson who noticed his completion.
Michal handed over the letter to Samson.
Reading the letter an ice cold aura was emitted from Samson's body. This went completely against his prediction.
"Dame it, Muren that bitch how could she do this", cursed Samson.
"What do we do now?, Do we inform Jin or keep him in the dark?", asked Michal.
Samson fiercely bit his thump and though for a while.
"We need to inform him after all this involves his family", said Samson
And with that Samson and Michal decided to meet with Jin face to face.
