Chapter 4794: You're Overthinking It

"The aboriginals of the Nation of Sin might kill for a little water, or a few beans."

"They became increasingly violent, fighting among themselves, until one day... outsiders entered their area."

Shen Wu sighed, "At first, they were very frightened, but after testing, they found that among those outsiders, the higher their cultivation realm, the more severely they were suppressed."

"Like me, after coming here, I'll pant non-stop after just a few steps."

"On the other hand, ordinary people who came here were all light on their feet, their bodies unaffected by any suppression. After joining the Nation of Sin, they could also receive relatively good treatment."

"This led them to discover a quick new way to gather supplies: capturing these outsiders, using those who could be used as laborers, and discarding those who couldn't into the sinkhole to quickly obtain resources."

"Wait," Feng Chen said with a curious expression. "From what you're saying, the aboriginals of the Nation of Sin aren't affected by this suppressive force?"

"No," Shen Wu nodded very confidently. "Currently, there are probably still over fifty aboriginals. Most of them are cultivators above the Divine Realm, and they haven't experienced any suppression. They are considered a special group in the Nation of Sin."

Feng Chen pondered and nodded: So, highly cultivated outsiders are suppressed into dogs, while the aboriginals are all in the Divine Realm? No wonder these outsiders all became slaves – aren't they just lambs waiting to be slaughtered?!

Mo Lian said indifferently, "There's nothing special about it. Just like that lawful deprivation force in the sinkhole, it's fair to everyone; whoever is thrown down will experience deprivation. The reason those aboriginals are so special must be because they've mastered a secret that allows them to avoid being suppressed by the natural laws of this place."

Feng Chen nodded repeatedly upon hearing this. Although Mo Lian usually seemed quite annoying, his analytical skills were very reliable.

This was probably the truth; there was no special distinction at all.

The aboriginals had mastered a way to avoid the risks of natural law suppression, which is why they could swagger around here.

Shen Wu looked at Mo Lian and Feng Chen with a puzzled expression. "Sirs, are you not suppressed, or is it... that there is suppression, but it's not complete?"

"It should be the second situation you mentioned," Feng Chen said with a helpless wry smile.

"And what about this Saint Beast senior?"

The human-snake arrogantly lifted his chin, thought for a moment, and said, "This old man feels fine. There is indeed a suppressive force, but it's not that severe."

"You must be the guardian Saint Beast placed in the exit passage of the Sacrificial Sea Abyss by the major Forgetful River noble families, right?" Shen Wu continued, speaking to himself. "I've heard them mention you. It's because you guard the exit of the Sacrificial Sea Abyss that the people of the Nation of Sin are forced to remain here and continue their torment."

Feng Chen twitched his lips, raised his hand, and patted Shen Wu's shoulder. "You're overthinking it. This senior was exiled in here centuries ago, and he's just been hibernating because he was too bored."

"Even without him guarding the Sacrificial Sea Abyss exit, they wouldn't be able to leave. The natural absorption and suppressive force here is probably something even the Heavenly Dao can't do anything about. It's inherent and doesn't violate the laws of the Heavenly Dao."
