If he had worked for a few years, he might have \"lost all his skills\" and forgotten this word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gave the answer directly, \"Sin, sine function, sin, crime, guilt.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So sinner means, a person who has sinned, a person who commits crimes, that is—a sinner.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sinner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They, the Moon Person players in the Land of Exile, seemed to be called \"sinners.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the \"Sun and Moon Sharing the Same Guilt\" viewpoint meant that Sun People and Moon People alike were guilty, were sinners.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was what Jiang Ye could think of.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Du Yuheng's story continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He first gave an embarrassed laugh, \"It's kind of embarrassing to say, but I wasn't passionate about studying, so I didn't know this word.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"At the time, when I only saw 'sin,' I thought that guy had tattooed a trigonometric function on himself, and I even mocked him for it...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, the result was that the guy mocked me back, saying I didn't even know a simple word like 'sinner.'\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I felt ashamed for a moment, a bit angry and embarrassed, so I continued arguing with him—I pointed out that he was crazy, tattooing 'sinner' of all things.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then the guy mocked me back again, saying I not only failed at English but also lacked basic cultural knowledge.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The reason he tattooed 'sinner' was because he was a Christian.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So in his belief, everyone in this world is sinful.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And this kind of 'sin' isn't necessarily the kind that breaks the law, like murder or arson.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But a kind of 'sin' that is inherent to being human, innate from birth.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Under such faith, people live in this world to atone for their sins.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the story reached this point, Du Yuheng deliberately paused, then met Jiang Ye's gaze with a meaningful look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a gaze was no different from directly reminding Jiang Ye—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His next sentence would be the key point of the entire story.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And his next words were—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"All 'sinners' are seeking 'salvation.'\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Salvation...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hiss—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cheng Lin's\" talent was exactly the SSS-grade [Salvation], wasn't it?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye took a deep breath and gave Du Yuheng another deep look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment of silence, he finally spoke:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So because of this viewpoint, you believe the [Salvation] talent related to the concept of 'sinner' is special.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's why you're so determined to obtain the [Salvation Domain] skill?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Du Yuheng nodded.
