Chapter 2400
“In essence, those who possess the Scythe of Judgment are a walking Heavenly Path and are capable of passing
judgment on every living being on its behalf. Legend has it that the Scythe of Judgment was born out of the
Heavenly Path and was formed by the Law of Heaven.”
Hearing this, James was dumbfounded.
“What? Winnie’s scythe is that impressive?”
He was stunned.
The Scythe of Judgment passed judgment on everything on behalf of the Heavenly Path. What power was this?
“Indeed.”
Sophie nodded and said, “In the records of ancient texts left behind by Emperor Jabari, Heaven’s Adjudicators once
existed in ancient times. They were merciless robots who passed judgment on all living beings who transgressed
the Law of Heaven on behalf of the Heavenly Path.
“However, later on, the humans did something that completely rebelled against the Heavenly Path. From that day
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtonward, Heaven’s Adjudicators vanished without a trace, and the seals that Heaven placed inside the bodies of all
humans on Earth today are also related to this matter. It was something that the ancestors of humankind had done
that the Heavenly Path found impossible to accept.”
Hearing this, James took a deep breath.
This was simply terrifying.
He never thought that his daughter would possess the Scythe of Judgment inside her body and that she would be a
Heaven’s Adjudicator and a walking Heavenly Path.
Sophie continued, “Winnie was chosen by the Heavenly Path. As such, she’s many times luckier than Lucifer. After
all, he only obtained an Elysium Inscription, whereas Winnie, on the other hand, would be able to pass judgment on
all living beings on behalf of Heaven once she becomes an adult. Even cultivators at the Emperor Rank could be
judged if they transgressed the Heavenly Path.”
Winnie had no idea what Sophie was talking about. She simply blinked her eyes and said innocently, “Will I be able
to help my daddy slay his enemies if I grow stronger?”
Sophie furrowed her eyebrows and said, “Don’t say such gory stuff at such a young age.”
“But, Mommy said that Daddy has been trying hard to protect mankind. I want to help Daddy out and make his job
easier.”
Sophie said no more and gestured for James to bring Winnie somewhere else.
James took Winnie out and returned to the Celestial Abode.
He said, “Sophie, if I’m not mistaken, there’s something else that you wish to say to me.”
“Mhm.”
Sophie nodded.
James asked, “Can you tell me now?”
Sophie said, “As I glimpsed through the ancient texts left behind by Emperor Jabari, I learned that the Heavenly Path
is merciless and devoid of all emotions. The Heavenly Path is simply a set of disorderly rules that controls
everything in the universe. Likewise, Heaven’s Adjudicators are also emotionless. As
they grow, they will become ruthless machines that only pass judgment on living beings.”
Hearing this, James frowned.
“Are you saying that Winnie will one day become a ruthless killing machine that only knows how to slaughter?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Not exactly… She only passes judgment on living beings. However, there aren’t any differences between them.
Once she passes judgment, only death awaits the target.”
Hearing this, James’ expression turned grim.
He really did not wish for Winnie to turn out this way. He wanted her to grow up safely, fall in love, get married,
have children, and live a life free of worry.
“Is there no other way?” After brief contemplation, James asked, “Is there a way for her not to be Heaven’s
Adjudicator?”
Sophie shook her head slightly and said, “Nothing can change after one is chosen by the Heavenly Path. Unless, of
course, you change the Heavenly Path itself. However, no one has been able to accomplish such a feat.”
James sighed.
Sophie comforted him, “Don’t worry, James. It will take a long time for Winnie to become Heaven’s Adjudicator. To
become one, she would need to at least acquire strength that is comparable to a cultivator at the Emperor Rank.”
“Mhm.”
James nodded.
There was nothing he could do at the moment. He could only take it one step at a time and look for opportunities to
spend more time with Winnie. He had to prevent her from becoming an emotionless adjudicator. Even if she
became an adjudicator, she had to become one with emotions.
