Chapter 4509 4511 [The Loss Outweighs the Gain]

After a while, Xiang Nan absorbed the soul of Pig Head Kelly and took over all his memories.

After all, compared to his millennium-long memory, Pig Head Kelly's memory of more than twenty years is nothing more than a small thing, and it won't have much impact on him.

But these memories were so disgusting. They were murders, arson, rapes, and plunders. They were all evil deeds. They were so disgusting that they hurt the eyes and even Xiang Nan felt mentally polluted.

In order to cleanse his soul, Xiang Nan immediately took out the purifying fire, confessed all the crimes of Pig Head Kelly, and let the purifying fire burn away the filth on his body.

"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts~ Pighead Kelly, you deserve to die!" Xiang Nan couldn't help but scream.

Pighead Kelly's sins caused him to be burned by the purifying fire and suffered endless pain. The evil he did in just over twenty years was more than what Xiang Nan had done in a thousand years, so Xiang Nan suffered more.

More importantly, although Xiang Nan absorbed the soul of Pig Head Kelly, it was not much nourishment to him.

If Xiang Nan is a bonfire at night, Pig Head Kelly is at most a firefly, not much brighter.

Therefore, absorbing Pig Head Kelly did not improve Xiang Nan's strength much. Instead, it caused him endless pain, so Xiang Nan couldn't help but scold him.

This time it really did more harm than good, and it was a bit more gain than loss.

"It would be uneconomical if every time I absorbed a soul in the future, I would be burned by the purifying fire." Xiang Nan couldn't help but think.

If he wanted to improve himself by absorbing the souls of mortals, then absorbing only one or two would not have much effect at all.

Because his soul is already very powerful, even Corybuso said that his spirituality is stronger than many weak gods in the spiritual world.

Therefore, if he wants to improve himself, he must absorb thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions, tens of millions... But Kelly, a pig-headed person, has already made him suffer a lot.

If it really absorbs thousands of sinful souls, then the purifying fire must burn them into dregs. After all, the more serious the sin, the harder the fire of purification burns.

"Can I let them confess their sins first, and then I can absorb them after their sins are burned away by the purifying fire?" Xiang Nan couldn't help but think.

He first absorbed other people's souls and then repented. As a result, he suffered all the pain alone.

If someone else repented first, was purified by the purifying fire first, and then absorbed it, the absorbed soul would be relatively pure, and he would be able to avoid a lot of pain.

"I just don't know if this will work, and whether these souls can withstand the burning of the purifying fire." Xiang Nan couldn't help but think, and then he was ready to give it a try.

…

Xiang Nan then pulled out another soul from the bottle, "Repent your sins, sinner! Purify your soul!"

"Are you a devil? Please, let me go." The pirate was so frightened that he begged again and again.

When Xiang Nan is active outside of Port Royal, he usually does not reveal his true identity, not wanting outsiders to know his true identity.

At this moment, the pirates saw Xiang Nan, an old man with white hair and long beard, so the pirates could not recognize him at all. He was Major General Norrington of Port Royal.

It's just that Xiang Nan killed them and imprisoned their souls in glass bottles, so these pirates were naturally afraid and thought he was a devil, a devil or the like.

"I am not a devil, I am a messenger of God, responsible for guiding your souls. But your souls are too evil and cannot enter God's kingdom for the time being, so they need to be purified first." Xiang Nan said loudly, "As long as you can If you sincerely repent of your repentance, you can go to the Kingdom of God and enjoy eternal bliss.”

"Really?" Hearing what he said, the pirate asked in great anticipation.

"Of course it's true." Xiang Nan nodded.

The pirate listened to Xiang Nan's words and immediately began to confess his crimes.

As soon as he confessed, "I confess that I have killed many people," he was immediately surrounded by purifying fire. The pain made him scream miserably, wishing he could have died on the spot.

It's just that he is dead now and cannot die again, so he can only endure it. It took a long time before the purifying fire let him go. It seemed that he had really killed a lot of people.

"Continue to repent." Xiang Nan ordered.

"Oh my God, it's really painful. I'd rather not go to the Kingdom of God." The pirate waved his hands repeatedly.

Although it was uncomfortable to be locked in a glass bottle, at least he wouldn't be burned by the flames. It was really painful.

Xiang Nan was stunned for a moment, then waved his magic wand, summoning a blazing flame, and threatened, "If you don't repent, you will be burned at the stake!"

The pirate was frightened and had to continue to confess, "I regret that I have robbed property..."

…

It took seven days for the pirate to finally repent.

Xiang Nan was impatient to wait, "Have you confessed all your sins?"

"Yes, all sins." The pirate nodded immediately.

"Okay, I allow you to enter the Kingdom of God and enjoy eternal bliss." Xiang Nan said and opened the magic circle. The pirate immediately threw it in happily, and then his soul was absorbed by Xiang Nan.

And Xiang Nan absorbed his soul and all his memories.

It can be seen that this time the soul is indeed much purer, with fewer disgusting memories, but there are still some ulterior and unsightly memories.

For example, he actually did beastly things to his daughter. He also knew that this behavior was extremely shameless and unforgivable, so he didn't dare to repent.

But because of this, Xiang Nan deserved to repent for him, and as a result, he was burned at the stake again and endured severe pain.

"It seems that this method is indeed feasible, but it is not perfect enough, and it is too painful." Xiang Nan couldn't help thinking.

Letting the soul be purified first and then absorbed can indeed alleviate his pain, but the speed is too slow. One person repents for seven days, and a hundred people have to repent for two years. If you have that time, it is better to practice yourself.

And it is also difficult to determine whether those people are sincerely repenting or hiding something. After all, only the Dharma Eye can see a person's past and future, and Xiang Nan hasn't even trained the "Wisdom Eye" yet.

"Christianity says that there are flames in hell, Buddhism, Hinduism, Zoroastrianism, etc. also say that there is hell, which will punish those who are sinful, and they can only leave after they have redeemed their sins... Is it the same as my method?" Xiang Nan suddenly thought.

The so-called hell, Hades, the six reincarnations, and ascending to immortality... Could it be that it is just a set of purification processes deliberately designed by the gods in order to absorb pure souls? !

"It is rumored that there are evil mirrors and heart mirrors in the underworld. The evil mirror can reflect the evil deeds and evil deeds done in life, and the heart mirror can reflect the evil thoughts and evil thoughts in life. Nothing can escape. It should be to avoid the soul from concealing anything when repenting, so as to achieve the purpose of complete purification." Xiang Nan thought again, "Oh, there is also Mengpo soup..."
