Gluttony returned to Shi Xiaobai
In the recent chapters Shi Xiaobai has been eating almost anything, yet could not be satisfied. To me this indicates that Gluttony "returned" to Shi Xiaobai, confirming that Shi Xiaobai is the Original Sin of Calamity. I'm wondering if this has been confirmed in the raws?
Comments
Some have speculated that it's not Gluttony, but his reward from pushing down Kali, since that reward hasn't been revealed yet.
And god knows that if it actually comes to that, he's gonna make an A/N about being non-cookie cutter...
P.S.
Speaking of the dark doorway, didn't One-Pun know about the existence of the dark door?
Riko told him specifically to open the white door. So the black door may not be exclusive to SXB; or One-Pun knows that he's OSOC. Possible red herring here...
Read the conversation carefully.

Whether it's because of Gluttony or the A-level reward, it is obviously to keep you in suspense. From the discussions people are having, no one can be certain which is it, and that's the intended goal.
Of those I think that the 2nd would be the most interesting, especially if Kali could discover this somehow. Like much further in the story Shi Xiaobai could be at an award ceremony/banquet/whatever being held at the Hero King's ancient castle and some mechanism which would only respond to his soul activates allowing Kali to realize he is a reincarnation. This would be especially effective if she saw his Gluttony-like powers at the same time, since he can't tell her about the Absolute Choice so he has no real way to explain it to her and the convenient timing would make the implications even worse. She would assume he is the Original Sin of Calamity due to his previous life seemingly validating her currently suspicions and resulting in her heart breaking and trying to kill Shi Xiaobai. Kali's actions could possibly result in the awakening of the real Original Sin of Calamity, causing Kali to realize her mistake and feel useless/broken/etc because she turned on her lover and caused the awakening herself, and but then Shi Xiaobai forgives her and saves the day and whatnot. Kali's doubts are gone and falls completely inlove with Shi Xiaobai while also allowing her to properly fight the Original Sin of Calamity, effectively completing Kali's character arc and making Shi Xiaobai look badass at the same time as the story moves full swing into the calamity arc.
That all sounds great but it is 99% speculation only based on the issue that we don't know what he received as his reward for pushing Kali down. The known facts from the story thus far still all point to the idea that Shi Xiaobai is the Original Sin of Calamity.
[Edit] By character arc, I mean that Kali's lie that she believes is that she can't find love due to the events of her past and the burden of her future. Shi Xiaobai can reveal both sides of this lie as false in this scenario so Kali would grow as a character and complete her personal arc while still being included in the rest of the story.
He would be a lot happier once he finishes the tower too, but he can't rush it after laying so much foundation and foreshadowing.
I already know of what will happen after the tower as I discuss the story with the author.
Injamanbivu i agree with you he even seens 'weak' since his strongest attack is like King leonidas... but he is getting to strong without upgrading, its like filling a cup of water with double capacity and the cup still holding that water(instead of changing to a larger cup) this is the feeling i get and if the author want to keep this tread of power the only way if to introduce stronger people since his generation he passed everyone already or nerf him these choices bot seens bad, this is why we want the plot to move, ATG suffer this problem but the author just dont give a fuck about it and keep going making the MC stronger and stronger but was this way since the beginning so we dont care, but here i feel reading that the MC have some shackles holding him in realms he need the soul realm thing to use power etc... this is why i dont like the way it is going because the upgrading is taking too long, unless right after he 'clear' the tower he is in the next realm already this would fix some things but would still be strange.
the plot is not moving seens like it is but it is not, the time he stayed inside the tower is the almost the same as the time he stayed outside of it when he come to this world, if i'm not mistaken not even 3 months passed from the time he come to this world to the time he enter the tower, now we have the tower that was supposed to not be a 'plot'if the author say something like this was something related to the plot i would call BS because the plot is older than the tower and if you remember kali words she said earth almost got done so yeah the tower was build later so this is some power up not plot...
now about the top of rookies there is noone who can fight MC same realm dont delude yourself.
there has bens tons of characters but they're just it introduced all shallow what we know about for example the Mu girl? we know now that she is from the same family as specheless li and was an outcast and was 'saved' by him, just it, we know nothing about then they're just introduced talked to the MC and thats it hell we dont even know about the girl who saved him and she was supposed to be a character who would go with him a good while...
and about stronger they're all realms above MC if he is the same realm he would be stronger my point is not it let me try to make an analogy so you could understand my point of view is basic and can be seens as wrong but this is the closer i can get to explain is more like a feeling of something wrong not like ATG because there the MC jump realms but noone of his peers is his match because he is supposed to be op.
ok, supposed MC is a cup that can hold 200ml of water MC right now have 300ml of water with a cup of 200ml other people have cups of 1000ml and 1000ml of water ok i get it this is how he is supposed to cross realms all MC do it and this is what make then 'special' but right now what we're seeing it not it the feeling i have is that mc is holding twice or at least thrice as much water as the cup can hold without leveling and this just seens wrong since there is clearly things that hold then back in realms and things that can just be done realms above the soul thing magic etc...
now Hisoka is realms above him at least 3 realms how can you compare him with a rookie that was my explanation? like i said there is no room to expand unless he begin fighting people older but he is already too young so he is already fighting people older, so what we're going to have a MC fight people 3 realms above at the end of the tower arc?
please understand i'm not saying this is bad is just that this is not the vibe i was getting reading it, the same thing happened in one of IET works he made the MC so 'powerfull' that 3 realms before the 'last' level MC could already fight the strongest person, and this is the same feeling i'm getting and this is do not like i prefer something like linley while powerful is just against his peers(not age people of same realm) so in the end he needed some buff to win against main villain, the difference between the two novels is that at the end of the first we keep feeling he is too powerful IET finished early because he made the MC too powerful could be more etc, while in the second we feel that everything fix right... like i said this is more likely my feeling reading it is hard to explain.
and about the gun guy the guy is realms above MC this is the problem i have, and it was said already the guy have some problems this is why he go to VR world to fight because he cant do it anymore and he is old already you should re'read it i think is before the girl in bed that kali met, and the girl too is realms above you cant just say she is a rookie.
rookie is people of his age and the strongest was said in the novel so you can't just add another there was speechless li so there is noone stronger than him, unless there is alien people this is the only way author can run but if he add it he would probably BS some power up to his friends with would not be good or made then some side character who arent powerful but it there sometime that would made all the chapters they get stupid for us readers since he would outran then fast....
anyway i like the novel this is why i rage about it i want it to be good.
When he was the King, it was because of a misunderstanding.
When he was a blind old man, it was because of the hatred for the world
