Chapter 491 "You Will Be Working Endlessly, Understand?"
“.”
Fugen’s voice seemed to be stuck in his throat, and he couldn’t utter a word for a long time.
Now “it” couldn’t and didn’t dare to look directly at Sui Yang’s eyes. The other’s sight made “it” feel an indescribable fear.
Once upon a time, Fugen was also a symbol of glory and honor.
But since his fall, he believed in the gods of chaos and believed that he had gained eternal power.
When all his connections with chaos were completely cut off, the instinctive desire and extreme emotions also dissipated, but emptiness and nothingness prevailed.
Fugen understood that this did not mean that “it” could escape the responsibilities it should bear.
All kinds of scenes in the past ten thousand years flooded into “it”’s mind like a tide, and almost suffocated “it”.
“It” was lured by the big demon in the trophy (sword) and easily fell to the side of the traitor.
The brothers he killed himself later, the Slaanesh demon that his descendants tried to expel with all kinds of crazy means, and all the destruction caused by "it", etc., are still hovering like a nightmare.
Every swing of the sword, every choice, is leading "it" step by step to the abyss.
Especially the harm to humans, Fulgrim can no longer escape the pain and self-blame.
Sui Yang's words are true.
The number of humans who died directly or indirectly because of "it" is not to say trillions, but trillions.
If humans follow the plan of "it's" father, the Emperor of Mankind, they have the opportunity to get rid of the invasion and threat of the warp and let the entire race flourish again.
Fulgrim will also become a role model admired by the whole clan, but unfortunately, "it" tore up the future with its own hands, and hundreds of trillions of lives were buried under "it"'s ambition and madness.
"It" deviated from its original ideals and goals, willing to be tempted by Chaos, and betrayed the trust of his father and brothers.
Even during Horus Lupercal's attack on Holy Terra, "it" and its fallen descendants only abused and slaughtered civilians.
Now Fulgrim began to be tortured by pain, fear, and regret, as if the wailing of every soul was echoing in his ears.
What made Fulgrim even more heartbroken was that "it" didn't know how to make up for all the mistakes and betrayals.
"But."
At this time, Sui Yang's figure quickly recovered to his original height, and the space around him was slightly shaking with his changes.
Then, he walked slowly towards Fulgrim and said in a deep voice with an expressionless face:
"Directly letting your soul fly away is probably just a relief for you, so I plan to let you stay in hell to atone for your sins until one day, humans no longer need to worry about the threat of Chaos."
"Atonement?"
Fulgrim's voice trembled, and he was obviously confused and puzzled, and even in a mess.
For "it", atonement has long become out of reach, and ten thousand years of depravity and sin have already pushed it into an irreversible abyss.
Sui Yang did not give any explanation or answer, but continued:
"Stand up."
Hearing this, Fugen's inner confusion and fear intertwined.
After some hesitation, Fugen slowly stood up, and every movement seemed to be oppressed by a heavy burden and extremely difficult.
When "it" raised its head and tried to look directly at Sui Yang, it felt the pressure that almost suffocated itself at this moment.
However, when Fugen looked around, everything became different.
The original hell scene of boiling magma and raging flames disappeared without a trace in an instant.
Instead, there was a dark sky with heavy clouds in the sky, emitting an extremely oppressive brilliance, which made people feel endless despair.
"Ah————!"
"No, don't——!"
Followed by this, there were countless shrill cries and helpless wails, and the screams from all directions were transmitted to Fugen's ears.
"It" looked back.
What came into view were countless execution grounds, as if this world was left with only pain and death.
Those "prisoners", both men and women, were naked, with chains with thorns wrapped around their bodies, or tied to various torture instruments, allowing the marks of machinery and fire to burn "their" flesh.
Some were tied to hot cylinders, their muscles cramped violently due to the high temperature, and they endured endless torment every minute and every second.
The prisoners were covered in blood and their faces were full of distorted expressions of pain. "They" struggled violently on the torture instruments.
The begging for mercy penetrated the empty space and filled every inch of air, making people feel that this "hell" had no end, as if all the punished people would never escape.
"."
Looking at all this in front of him, Fugen couldn't help but raise his hands and cover "it"'s head.
The wanton killing and trampling seemed to want to completely devour "it", like a nightmare that could not escape, constantly reminding "it" of its crimes.
At this time, Fugen began to think, perhaps this is the fate that "it" deserves in the end, accepting the punishment of never seeing the sun, until it is completely wiped out.
In this way, perhaps "it" can slightly ease the heavy shackles and reduce the huge regret and self-blame in its heart.
However, just as Fugen was lost in thought, Sui Yang's voice broke the silence coldly.
"You are not being punished here, don't think too well."
Hearing this, Fugen suddenly looked up and realized that his position had changed dramatically again.
In the blink of an eye, the two "people" teleported to the periphery of a execution ground.
Fulgrim seemed to be used to this and did not show much surprise or shock.
In front of him was a relatively quiet space, desolate and cold, and several figures with chains could be seen on the execution ground.
This time.
Sui Yang's voice sounded again, and with an irresistible tone, he said:
"You will be working here next."
Fulgrim was stunned for a moment, obviously this sentence made him deeply confused.
Work?
"It" once thought that it was destined to endure endless punishment and become a prisoner from which it could never be released. How could it still have a "job"?
But this time Sui Yang gave an explanation and continued: "The space you and I are in is the second level of hell——
Lust.
All the souls who come here have committed unforgivable crimes in the physical universe.
And you will become an agent of lust, using the most extreme and painful means you can imagine to torture and 'ravage' the souls who have committed crimes.
Only in this way can people in the physical universe know how severe the consequences of harming others and other people's relatives and friends due to temporary pleasure or impulse will be. "
Ever since Sui Yang possessed heaven and hell, these two realms similar to "ultra-small subspace" have been amplified and transformed by his spiritual power.
Whether it is heaven or hell, they all have functions and meanings in his hands that far exceed conventional existence, and they have become part of the territory he governs.
There is no need to go into too much detail about heaven. As long as you have not violated the laws of the empire or violated the "Human Code", the soul after death will "automatically" go to heaven and enter the "reincarnation step" to be a newborn. The identity returned to the imperial territory.
Of course, after reincarnation, they will no longer remember their previous lives and everything will start from scratch.
And for those who have performed outstandingly, made great contributions, or performed great acts of kindness during their lifetime, heaven provides another option.
Once in heaven, they can choose to stay and enjoy the near-eternal peace and quiet.

In heaven, they will no longer bear any pain or burden, and will no longer be troubled by time.
For souls who are tired of the peaceful life in heaven, or who are eager to continue fighting for the empire and humanity, heaven also provides the option of reincarnation.
This choice is particularly important for those who have made great sacrifices for humanity in the physical universe, especially those soldiers and Astartes who have died in the service of the Imperium, and even members of the Imperium's elite race.
The empire gives these people respect and rewards after death. They can choose to return to the physical universe again and continue their unfinished mission.
This can be regarded as the "afterlife welfare" provided by the empire to all people.
And all of this does not depend on the compulsory requirements of any religious belief.
The Empire's state religion does not force its believers to follow certain cumbersome rules, such as vegetarianism and abstinence, like other religions, in order to enjoy the gifts given by the emperor.
As long as citizens meet the requirements of the law and meet the standards, they can enjoy "benefits" after death.
Such freedom and openness enabled the empire's state religion to not rely on superstition and religious rituals to maintain its rule over the people, but to ensure the happiness and tranquility of the people through actual systems and order.
And if you go to hell
For those lucky criminals or those with psychopathic individuals, it is almost a taboo topic that makes people laugh.
In the past, many extremely vicious criminals believed that the crimes they committed were nothing more than "dead matters". Especially for those criminals who had repeatedly committed crimes and had long been numb, death seemed to be just an escape and a simple escape. The end.
Now?
The Emperor, the supreme leader of mankind, controls Hell, making the price of sin higher, becoming more heavy and terrifying than ever before.
Criminals who once could evade accountability are beginning to realize that their crimes can be "cleared" by more than just death.
Nowadays, after committing rape, abduction, murder, and other heinous crimes, you must not only bear the severe punishment of the empire's laws during your lifetime, but also face the endless punishment of hell after death.
The most terrifying thing is that the souls of these criminals have almost no chance of reincarnation after death.
They were unable to seek redemption in a new life, but were trapped in hell forever, enduring extreme torture and punishment.
And the horror of it all doesn't end there.
As the Imperial State Church made the concepts of heaven and hell public in the form of videos and images, all citizens, even the most unscrupulous criminals, were deeply shocked.
The scenes of hell and the methods of torture are all vividly displayed, like a heavy hammer hitting the hearts of criminals and perverts, and even effectively curbing potential criminal behavior.
Therefore, the concepts of heaven and hell have gone far beyond the realm of religion in the traditional sense, and have become a social security system under the rule of Sui Yang, providing death benefits to all citizens.
This unique management model of the afterlife not only ensures the stability of the empire, but also allows every individual to feel the protection and justice built by the empire, which is more conducive to Sui Yang's ability to gather the so-called "power of faith."
Even so, it cannot withstand the empire's huge population base, and all types of cases still cannot be completely eliminated.
Whether it's profound psychopaths or those who believe in "carpe diem" without any remorse, they always exist in the shadow of the Empire.
Each level of hell corresponds to different crimes and corresponding tortures.
Sui Yang's energy and time are extremely precious. For those who fall into the abyss of crime, hell is the retribution they deserve, but he does not intend to spend too much attention on carefully "taking care" of each deceased soul.
Fulgrim committed countless crimes and deviated from human ideals until he eventually became a deformed, twisted demon.
Now Fulgrim has nowhere to escape. Even if Sui Yang cuts off Fulgrim's connection with Chaos and allows Fulgrim to return to himself, the "it" that was once Prince Slaanesh seems to be the second level of hell, lust. Excellent agent.
If one day in the future, he successfully opens the space door to the "Warhammer 40k" universe, then he can also "capture and work" those original bodies who have fallen into Chaos, and use this to increase his spiritual energy, Expand hell and heaven.
"Am I going to be an agent? That's a bit..."
On the other hand, Fugen was still a little confused after listening to Sui Yang's words.
For some reason, "he" always felt that he had just escaped the shackles and control of Chaos and Slaanesh, but was once again pushed into an inescapable abyss.
"There's nothing wrong with that."
But Sui Yang raised his left hand and interrupted Fugen's words. His calm tone revealed the pressure that he could not question or resist, and continued:
"I am too lazy to ask about the crimes you have committed, and I am too lazy to spare time to help you alleviate your guilt. From now on, all you have to do is what I said.
And there is no such thing as taking a vacation and relaxing, you will never stop working, you understand? "
"This is."
Fugen, who had no choice, chose to accept the position of "agent" and couldn't help but kneel down on one knee and salute Sui Yang respectfully.
"very good."
Seeing this, Sui Yang nodded lightly, and then caused Fulgen's body to burst into light golden light.
The next moment, the crimes committed by countless dead souls during their lifetimes, and even their entire life experiences, flooded into Fulgen's mind like a dam releasing water.
!
This made Fulgrim's face reveal a slightly painful and ferocious expression, but this was still within the range he could bear.
After all, "this pain" was nothing compared to what he had done as Prince of Slaanesh.
But deep in Sui Yang's eyes, there was a vague sense of relaxation, or perhaps
"Comfortable".
Because after giving Fulgen the "temporary authority" of lust in the second level of hell, he no longer had to manage the souls related to "lust", which alleviated the mental pressure he endured.
And this pressure was transferred to Fulgen.
