Shuangtian focused on the Pangu Lineage's remaining members and a sharp look flashed through her eyes. She nodded to Draco and Eva, who flicked their fingers and sent info-packs into the brains of those fellows, catching them up to speed on everything.
Since the two did not deign to assist them in the digestion process for the information, it took a while for the people to absorb all they needed to know. Blood could be seen leaking from their noses as their brains had suffered some slight damage due to the fact.
Yet despite this, they did not seem to care as their reactions were just as bad as Fengtian and Litian's had been. Many directly fell to their knees with tears in their eyes, grabbing fistfuls of hair as they realized the magnitude of their previous actions.
The ones with no or barely any karmic sin flames had the mildest reaction to it all. This group consisted of servants or side branch women who had been abused by the family for most of their lives.
Those with some sin flames were the ones who were lamenting with pale expressions while those who were black from head to toe with sin flames were the ones who fell to their knees, trembling all over as their eyes became bloodshot.
A person would always be a product of the environment they were raised in. As the one who had the ability to control Souls as an entire branch of her bloodline, Shuangtian understood this the most. Every being born would naturally start out as a blank slate, only to become stained by the stimuli of the world.
A person would also be motivated to act based mostly on their personal beliefs. People fight and die for their beliefs. It is because of one's beliefs that one can wake up every day from the darkness of sleep and forge forward in this world.
So, these sinful Pangu members were like this precisely because they originated from such a sinful Lineage. The Lineage purported a set of beliefs unto them which stained their souls with its evil, causing them to develop into monsters that were mired in the well of their malice.
And it was precisely because of this that when they were faced with the undeniable truth that their beliefs were not only wrong, but also very bad, they broke down in such a manner. The hardest thing to achieve in the world was making a person see things from the completely opposite point of view, especially the deeper they were into their current belief system.
Usually, the consequence of this was direct madness.
While these fellows would like to go mad, they knew it was impossible in the presence of these three. As such, after a few moments of shock and adjustment, everyone stood up with respect on their faces as they solemnly and sincerely bowed to Shuangtian.
"We greet the Noble Ancestress!"
Shuangtian did not yet display her Lineage tree to brand them, but smiled slightly. She stomped her foot, causing the earth to shift and warp in the entire area. The ruins of the Pangu estate which had become rubble which the Chinese government was slowly excavating completely crumbled at this moment.
The quaking caused the entire area to shift and tumble, forcing the various Lineage members to steady themselves while many directly took to the air using their special abilities, even assisting others to come with them.
Meanwhile, Shuangtian causally burned her bloodline energy as she wove her hands in a complex pattern before pushing forward.
"Rise... Celestial Palace!"
The rubble shifted and merged to form the body of a gigantic castle that stretched out for miles, looking far grander than the previous manor estate. Rising magnificently from the ground, the palace appeared as if shaped from shards of the purest jade, its spires and domes sparkling with a divine light that shines across its surface.
Shuangtian sighed with a hint of relief and turned to everyone. "Follow me in."
Draco and Eva walked one step behind her while the core members as well as the Lineage members followed along, including the Pangu members. Everyone was silent as they walked up to the entrance of the palace that seemed straight out of an oriental painting.
Draco was dominant and superior, commanding from his lofty throne where he decided the fate of all living beings casually.
Eva was benevolent and true, basking in the adulation of all her loving supporters who obeyed her unquestionably.
Shuangtian was noble and resplendent, stern and direct in her rulership as she guided the masses to prosperity through wisdom.
Shuangtian's eyes fell on her people, from her own grandfather to her father and then the rest of the pitifully few Pangu Lineage members. With a slight raised hand, a scroll appeared before her in which a quill-like pen manifested before it.
"As the Jade Empress, I hereby decree that all members of my Lineage with more than 50% Karmic Sin Flames are to undergo Nirvana within the Nine Hells of the Abyss Eternal."
Shuangtian's sonorous voice which always had an attractive lilt to it on par with Eva's heavenly beauty was fully displayed at this point, becoming something that pierced the mind and soul.
Draco and Eva finally understood why Shuangtian had such a lovely voice yet Pangu and Shangtian lacked this feature... it was because she was born to give decrees that turned into universal law!
The pen wrote her words in bold and fanciful text on the decree before it exploded in a bright golden light, flying out to strike all those covered in the black miasma before they could even react.
They did not even scream, their bodies melted into the golden light and carried towards Draco who naturally cooperated with his wife's big show and opened up a passage to his Nine Hells.
They were then deposited into the various levels of Hell relative to their sins and underwent the various torture without being spared, even if they knew the truth. On that note, Draco decided to share the infopack with all those form the Pangu Lineage also suffering in his Hells because they did not truly repent as they did not understand their crimes.
However, receiving the infopack with Pangu's titanic words, they naturally crumbled and collapsed, becoming more susceptible to the torture as they wailed in true agony.
However, the silver lining was that their sins were actually being cleared now at a faster rate and in as little as a thousand years, they could have cleared their debts and be able to either reincarnate or travel to Eva's Seven Heavens to expend merit for enjoyment.
Shuangtian wasn't done though, as she released another decree.
"As the Jade Empress, I hereby request the noble Celestial Eternal to revive those of my Lineage who perished during the clan conflict during our birth, as well as those who were unjustly hunted. I also request the Celestial Eternal to incarnate those collected into her Seven Heavens from my Lineage who were caught in the crossfire during the battle to save my life."
Eva smiled and obviously would not cause trouble for her own sister wife at this juncture, complying by casually releasing a white light. Immediately, many bodies spawned in the chamber, amounting to a surprisingly large amount of people that almost filled the hall.
More than 90% were females of varying ages while the remainder were mostly young boys pre-pubescent or still in their teen years. The number of men did not reach two digits, and this included Fengtian and Litian.
Shuangtian's face darkened slightly at the fact while Eva glanced at her apologetically. She only brought back those with less than 50% karmic sin from history, so very few men qualified to be brought back to life even if they had died unjustly.
Shuangtian was not angry about this as more than 50% karmic sin flame really requires work in terms of being evil. To give an easy to understand comparison, Hitler had 45% karmic sin flame and Genghis Khan had only 22%.
To surpass 50%, do you understand how much evil and resentment you must have caused during your lifetime? At this point, there was no amount of 'sorry' that could negate your punishment.
