"I wonder if Ancient Householder has heard of this saying?"
"What saying?"
"Everything is predestined, and there are variables in karma."
"Variables?" Gu Qingfeng closed his eyes slightly and muttered, "You mean my existence is a variable in karma?"
"Exactly."
"How come I don't feel it at all, and how do you know?"
"The reason is very simple. It's because that drop of Original Sin Blood itself is a variable. Since Scholar Ancient exists because of that drop of Original Sin Blood and has fused with that drop of Original Sin Blood, he's naturally a variable as well. Moreover, he might be a variable among variables."
What was a variable?
Gu Qingfeng had more or less heard that the so-called cycle of heaven, karma and retribution, and a variable was a karma error, and also a wrong karma. In other words, it was a karma that should not have appeared.
A wrong karma would produce a series of karma that were all wrong. This kind of mistake, although also included in karma, would not abide by the law of karma, nor would it be affected by the cycle of heaven. Therefore, the series of wrong karma produced were all unknown.
And this was the so-called variable.
"Since it is a variable, it naturally will not abide by the law of karma. Therefore, what Ancient Householder said just now, that you may be a chess piece in the hands of fate is not accurate. Everything in the world and all living things are indeed chess pieces, and what dominates the chessboard may really be fate. And if Ancient Householder is really in this chessboard, in this old monk's opinion, it absolutely does not belong to fate or karma, but to you, Ancient Householder."
"This old monk said just now that I don't know what kind of existence Ancient Householder is, and what kind of karma is involved behind you. This is also the reason."
"No one knows how Ancient Householder's path will be, this old monk does not know, the 3,000 Great Dao does not know, the immortals and demons of heaven and earth do not know, and even karma and fate do not know."
"If there is anyone in the world who knows how Ancient Householder's path will be, then this person must be you."
"This old monk still says the same thing. Karma may be able to dominate the fate of all living things in the world, but it can't dominate your fate. All living things in Tiandu may be used as chess pieces in the chessboard of fate, and Ancient Householder may be one of them. The difference is that it is karma that dominates our fate, and it is not karma that dominates Ancient Householder's fate, but yourself."
The old monk's words touched Gu Qingfeng greatly, causing him to sink into deep thought. He thought for a long time and seemed to understand, but he was even more confused.
"If what controls my fate is not karma but myself, why do I feel that it's not the case? At the very least, I feel like I've been led by the nose by karma. Some karma might have been caused by me back then, but some karma came out of nowhere."
"Ancient Householder, there is one thing you have to understand. The variable is just a wrong karma. Although it is not affected by the law of karma, it is still within karma. As you said, some karma was caused by you back then, and the so-called inexplicable karma you speak of might be related to the blood of original sin. Whether it is caused by yourself or related to the blood of original sin, they are all wrong karma."
"If the karma on me is all wrong karma, and the wrong karma produces wrong karma, and it continues to be wrong, then wouldn't it be …" Gu Qingfeng asked, "I'm not the only variable in history?"
"Indeed not."
"What are their fates?"
"Since it is wrong karma, what do you think the fates will be?"
Gu Qingfeng laughed involuntarily and asked again, "If this wrong karma of mine continues, what are the fates? Will it cause a lot of messed up karma … "
This time, for some reason, the old monk did not answer.
As for Gu Qingfeng, he could more or less guess.
Since his existence was a wrong karma, and if the wrong karma continued, it would probably affect the law of karma. Then, the heavens would definitely not allow his wrong karma to continue. They would definitely wipe out his wrong karma at all costs to avoid the chaos of karma.
After going around and around, he still ended up in a dead end!
There was no way to avoid it.
This was not a big deal, and Gu Qingfeng did not care too much.
The key was the so-called wrong karma. It made Gu Qingfeng suddenly think of something.
He had heard more than once that people had been to the karma black hole. It was said that the karma black hole had begun to revive in the modern era. This thing's existence was like a karma vortex that would suck in many unrelated karma, causing a lot of messed up karma to occur. It was harmful and even caused the law of karma to collapse.
Rumor had it that the karma black hole was related to Supreme Wu Dao of the Daoless Era. Some people even said that the karma black hole was the incarnation of Supreme Wu Dao's original sin.
Now, Gu Qingfeng had merged with a drop of Supreme Wu Dao's original sin blood, causing his existence to become a wrong karma. Once the wrong karma continued, it might cause a lot of messed up karma, and it would also endanger the law of karma.
No matter how Gu Qingfeng thought about it, he felt that something was wrong.
Damn it, could it be that he was the so-called karma black hole?
No!
It should be impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
Gu Qingfeng wanted to ask, but when the words reached his mouth, he did not say it. This matter was too strange and too terrifying. It was so strange that it made him panic. It was so terrifying that he did not want to know the answer to this question for the time being.
Just as he was about to leave, the old monk's voice sounded again.
"Practitioner Ancient, please remember this old monk's words. Everything about you is unknown. Karma cannot control your fate. No one can control it. Only you can control your own fate. How to walk this path, how to walk it, everything is in the hands of Practitioner Ancient."
"If you don't want it, the sky will not exist. If you want it, the earth will not exist. If you don't want karma to be wrong, it is not wrong. If you want to control fate, it will definitely bow to you!"
The old monk's voice sounded again. It was like an ancient Buddha's chanting, enlightening.
At this moment, the world of the Nirvana Bone Jade was no longer ethereal. Instead, it became clear. It was as if flowers and trees were blooming, as if the mountains and rivers were changing, as if all things were being renewed, as if time was passing, as if life and death were reincarnating.
The mountains were mountains, and the water was water.
The mountains were not mountains, and the water was not water.
The mountains were still mountains, and the water was still water.
Like immortals, like devils. Immortals were immortals, immortals were devils, and devils were immortals.
Good was evil, and evil was good.
Light was darkness, and darkness was light.
Yin was Yang, and Yang was like Yin.
Everything in the world seemed to turn blurry in Gu Qingfeng's eyes, but it became clearer in his heart.
He understood.
He finally understood.
