His mother was a weaver.
Born into a commoner family, she was somewhat attractive in her youth.
Therefore, they always hoped to use their beauty to achieve upward social mobility.
She then met Xinuo's father and, upon learning that he was a member of the nobility, immediately began to flirt with him.
As a result, it was naturally impossible for Xinuo's father to marry her.
Furthermore, because he also sought the right to inherit the family business, he needed to arrange marriages with other noble members.
If it weren't for the fact that Xinuo's mother was pregnant with him at that time, she probably would have been 'cleansed'.
We can't let her get in the way of the noble lady we're marrying into.
Under these circumstances, it was naturally impossible for Xinuo's mother to succeed in her plan to marry into a wealthy family.
Even Hino was implicated.
They cannot leave the vicinity of their family, but they will not be recognized by the family.
Hino's father would occasionally think of them, and that was when they could receive a few scraps of food as a favor.
They were not allowed to do certain jobs that were not considered respectable, otherwise they would be disgracing their father.
In this situation, their lives are actually worse than those of ordinary people.
The real nightmare, however, is what happens after the children in the 'Madam's' family are born and grow up.
Their malice towards illegitimate children is innate.
Whether it's social status, control of resources, or nominal power.
Once they harbor malice towards Hino, the nightmare begins.
Illegitimate children are, in a sense, the other party's punching bag.
If he's not doing well in his studies, I'll bully him.
He didn't do well in the competition with the other members, so they bullied him again.
Having obtained the happiness of the church, Shinno thought he had long forgotten about these things.
However, he discovered that this cause and effect still deeply affects him to this day.
To be precise, that experience is the fundamental reason for his current devout faith.
He doesn't want to be bullied like this anymore.
The fabricated agreement that destroyed the church and forced him to run around was, to some extent, an overlap with the people who bullied him.
This is why he so vehemently opposes fictitious agreements and even abandons rational thinking.
However, now Xinuo has no choice but to start sorting out this cause and effect.
He needs to analyze it and then understand which parts support him and which parts hinder him.
Through these analyses, Xinuo gradually understood the root of her own obsession.
At that very moment, other causes and effects began to erupt in chaos.
Especially the captain's words, "The root cause of your miserable childhood lies in the environment created by God."
The superiors set an example for the inferiors; the gods' neglect of the masses led to the nobility's neglect of those of lowly status.
Chapter 786 Inheritance
There are conflicts and tensions between cause and effect.
This is not entirely a bad thing, because under such conflict, the details of various causes and effects, and even the chain of causes and effects at their root, are also brought to light in the process.
At that moment, Xinuo understood the root of the number of cause and effect—the cause and effect of the world.
The world itself is a vast entity of cause and effect.
Your birth determines your destiny.
The fact that a person is born in a certain place is a huge cause and effect.
The cause and effect of the world and oneself lies here.
The environment has a much greater impact on people than many people imagine.
This environment, in turn, is formed by the cause and effect of the actions of countless people.
The entire world is essentially a phenomenon of various cause-and-effect relationships.
This realization dawned on Hino's mind.
What exactly is the cause and effect of his environment?
The church, high above, suppressed all unrest, and then used people as tools of faith while simultaneously using the church as a tool to extract resources and benefits from the outside world.
The nobility and the church were interdependent, with the nobility acting as a supplement to the church and systematically oppressing ordinary people.
And due to various factors, there was also a strong 'centralization effect' within the nobility.
If you don't climb the ladder, don't seize power, and don't persecute others, you're very likely to be trampled into the mud.
They were either sitting at the table or being served at the table.
This is precisely why the pressure on nobles is so terrifying.
While acquiring resources, they also gained power and influence.
But the pressure was forcing every nobleman to act.
This has led to a certain degree of morbidity among the nobility, and the rules that depend on these morbidities.
The reason why Xinuo was so bullied by her half-brother when she was a child was because of this.
Nobles have their own cannibalistic rules; if the issue of illegitimate children is not handled properly, then the nobles themselves will also be devoured.
In fact, Hino's younger brother remained benevolent within this aristocratic system.
This resulted in the other party being 'eaten' by Hino.
If, during those years, the other party had used methods to turn Xinuo into a complete cripple, rather than simply abusing him.
So Xinuo basically won't get the chance to turn his life around by joining the church.
After Xinuo entered the church and demonstrated his talent, he immediately returned to his family.
Even his father had to curry favor with Xinuo. Under these circumstances, although his younger brother was not marginalized, he was immediately devoured once he gained power and resources.
Throughout the entire system, everyone is cannibalistic; Xinuo's father, mother, mistress, and younger brother are all within this set of rules.
The same applies outside the aristocratic system.
Everyone is eating people, just in different ways.
And the truth is just as the captain said: it was the greed of the gods that created this cannibalistic environment.
They have seized more resources, while their responsibilities have been decreasing.
The final result is the current situation.
In the world of cause and effect, there is no room for deception under such circumstances.
The world has become like this, and the reason why these people live such difficult lives is largely due to the world's fault.
The existence of God, who governs the rules of the world, bears an inescapable responsibility for this error.
The more Hino perceived the cause and effect of the world, the more he understood this point.
It was only after he realized these things that the cause and effect he had previously subdued and supported began to stir.
The nurturing of the church, the guidance of teachers, and the support of family.
All these causes and effects coalesced into the most vicious curse at this moment.
Behind these causes and effects, there is a very clear thread: value.
Their goodwill should be rewarded accordingly!
If Xinuo does not want to repay them, then their karma will no longer provide support, but will instead become an absolutely negative obstacle.
Xinuo immediately felt his whole body being torn apart; he was about to be split apart, and his advancement to the Golden Seed would fail!
Xinuo smiled wryly as she sensed the changes in her body.
Too late.
His understanding of cause and effect underwent a very brief change.
The discernment of cause and effect begins with unwavering faith in God, and later, through the understanding of cause and effect in the world, one discovers that one's own suffering stems from what one has been upholding.
In this situation, no matter how much Hino deceives his own heart and tells himself that he is great, it is useless.
The existing cracks collapsed rapidly under these conditions.
If given a few months to sort things out and adjust, he might be able to escape the web of mistakes he has woven for himself.
But now, it's too late for him.
It was at this critical moment that an important but inconspicuous cause and effect quickly came into play.
This cause and effect is the key driving force behind Xinuo's growth to this point.
Chivis Granvia.
According to Hino, this person appears to be one of those who came from the End of the World.
However, his lifespan was short, and after leaving that place, he gradually became mentally exhausted.
So he chose death.
It was the set of knowledge about cause and effect that he left behind that guided Xinuo onto the path of cause and effect, leading her to her current state.
This causal relationship is important, yet not so important.
Because Chivis is dead.
But now, this causal chain is being actively manipulated, and then it in turn interferes with Xinuo's causality.
The most obvious example is his karmic connection with the Silver Water.
The silver water flowed into Xinuo's body, and this transformative power of silver rapidly purified the causal relationship within him.
At the entrance to Hino's house, Klose had already appeared.
However, his current appearance is very different from his previous one.
"You woke me up just for this?" Kroos said.
"Isn't that enough? He's your successor, didn't you tell me to keep a close eye on him?" Kross immediately chimed in.
"I'm already dead, and I've already handed over my inheritance. You can keep an eye on things, but don't bother me anymore," Chivis said, clearly annoyed at being disturbed from his slumber.
For these beings, the final slumber of the musical movement is a true peace.
For them, who had struggled to survive for so long, that state was actually a kind of enjoyment.
"Okay, I got it. Go to sleep early!" With that, Cross put Chivis back.
Many things are never coincidental.
Why did Hino encounter Cross right at his doorstep immediately after receiving Chivis's legacy?
And Kross, a golden-type extreme value, is so friendly to him.
The reason is certainly not just because Xinuo is a good person.
Furthermore, the 'good person' who once helped him in the End of the World, allowing him to survive there, was Chivis.
A newcomer who suddenly received the legacy of Chivis naturally wanted to come and see for himself.
Then I got blocked by my game opponent.
He had seen Xinuo's situation and naturally cared about it even more.
Chapter 787 Making this world a better place
"Silver Seed!" Sensing his own physical condition, Xinuo fell silent.
