Panic gripped everyone, and they cried out, "No! Don't!"
"You are utterly rebellious!"
"Your Highness! Save us!"
"We are your people! Please, save us!"
"This trial is utterly absurd! On what grounds! On what grounds are they treating us like this!"
……
Yun Qingyi remained indifferent, ignoring their voices as if she were detached from the situation. After a while, she said softly, in a voice that was neither too loud nor too soft, "There's still a little time left."
Upon hearing this, the crowd's fear reached its peak. They did not want to be judged like this, after all, in their eyes, this judgment was still unreasonable. They all began to break down, some cursing and some pleading.
Suddenly, someone seemed to have grasped something crucial, and with trembling excitement, shouted to Yun Qingyi, "This is not right... this is absolutely not right!"
We should be judging the sin reflected in the mirror; the object of our judgment should be that sin itself. What does it have to do with us?
As soon as the man finished speaking, the crowd fell silent for a few seconds before erupting into chaos.
"He's right! The scope of the trial should be limited to those involved in that sin! What does it have to do with the divine scriptures!"
"It's obvious you've crossed the line; this trial should not stand!"
The crowd seemed to have found a breakthrough and began to attack Yun Qingyi, as if they had gained confidence.
Yun Qingyi listened to the sounds rising and falling, but remained unmoved. When the time it takes for an incense stick to burn was up, she raised her hand, a flash of light appeared, and the silence was restored.
"Yes, I accept your questions." Yun Qingyi smiled slightly.
"As you say, this trial is to judge the sin you speak of."
"But..." Yun Qingyi changed the subject.
"The scope given by the mirror does not explicitly state that it can only be those involved in what you call sin."
"I remember the message the mirror gave me was: decide who is the most sinful."
After speaking, Yun Qingyi glanced at the people below. Upon hearing her words, a glint immediately flashed in their eyes. They instinctively wanted to say something, but because of the silencing, they couldn't utter a sound and could only glare at Yun Qingyi resentfully.
Seeing this, Yun Qingyi slightly curled her lips, "I know what you want to say. It's nothing more than that the mirror gave the conditions, but I talked about the entire divine scripture. You think this is completely inconsistent with the conditions of this trial."
After saying that, Yun Qingyi looked at the crowd below the stage and changed the subject: "But if my answer was problematic, why was the trial still successful?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Yun Qingyi clearly felt that the resentful gazes had decreased, and most people stood there stunned, as if they had realized it too.
Since the trial was successfully accepted, the answer is perfectly correct.
Although they realized it, they were still unwilling to accept it and felt deeply deceived, especially by the goddess they believed in.
In an instant, anger mixed with disappointment, loss, and resentment were all reflected on their faces.
This is unfair!
At that moment, they had only one thought in their minds.
They couldn't understand why the Ice Goddess would allow this trial to proceed; it was clearly illogical.
"Because there are people on the Divine Scripture." Yun Qingyi's calm voice made everyone present pause for a moment.
At that moment, all those chaotic thoughts and angry feelings froze on his face the moment those words were uttered.
Obviously, I didn't expect the answer to be so simple and straightforward, but there seems to be no reason to refute it.
And it seems more reasonable now.
The mirror's condition was "human beings," while the blond girl's answer was "divine scriptures." Although divine scriptures are not human beings, the entire divine scriptures are composed of these kinds of people.
