"May I ask why Patron Ancient doesn't want to gamble?"
"Why? Haha! "
Gu Qingfeng smiled: "Old monk, let me ask you, have you ever gambled before in your life?"
"This old monk has never gambled before."
"I knew you had never gambled before. If you had, you wouldn't have asked me to use the fate of all living beings in this world to gamble against the original sin."
The old monk didn't understand and asked: "Why?"
"Old monk." Gu Qingfeng stretched his back and said: "You probably don't know why some people like to gamble so much, to the point of being unable to extricate themselves from it."
"This old monk doesn't know."
"That's because the bets are filled with temptation. That's why many people are addicted to it. They don't even care if they lose everything they have. If they win, it's not a dream to become rich overnight. If they lose, it's very likely that they'll lose everything. It's not impossible for them to lose their lives."
"Of course, not everyone gambles because the stakes are so tempting that they can't resist. There is also a type of gambling for oneself, for one's family, for one's friends. They have no choice but to go all out. Regardless of whether they are friends or family, they are all people they care about. No one would gamble for someone they don't care about."
"I am no exception." Gu Qingfeng casually said: "You want me to use the fate of all living beings in this world to gamble against the original sin? What does the fate of all living beings have to do with me? No, right? Even if I win, so what? What benefits will I get? Nothing at all, right? Don't talk to me about mercy and responsibility. I'm not a merciful Buddha, nor am I the God who dominates the world. Therefore, I'm not that selfless. I don't care about the life and death of all living beings in this world. I've said that I'm a vulgar man, a very vulgar man. I won't do such a thankless and unprofitable business. "
A long silence ensued.
"Amitabha!" The old monk finally spoke: "This old monk has known Patron Ancient for so long, so I have some understanding of Patron Ancient's character. I naturally know that Patron Ancient doesn't care about the fate of all living beings in this world."
"Since you already know, why are you trying to persuade me to bet with the Cardinal Sins?"
"The reason why I persuaded Layperson Ancient to gamble with the Original Sin is not only for the fate of all living beings in this world, but also for Layperson Ancient to escape the Original Sin."
"Oh?"
Gu Qingfeng smiled and said, "So that I can be free of the original sin? If I win the bet with the Original Sin, then I will become the True Lord of the Original Sin. How can I escape the Original Sin? You mean to say that in order to get rid of the original sin, one must first become the true owner of the original sin? Only by becoming the true owner of the original sin can one be rid of the original sin? "
"Perhaps."
"Perhaps?"
"Perhaps."
Hearing the old monk say 'perhaps', Gu Qingfeng did not ask any more questions. He began to ponder. The old monk's words sounded unbelievable and incomprehensible at first, but when he thought about it carefully, he felt that it made sense.
The reason why he was unable to free himself from the original sin.
It was neither karma nor fate.
In the end, it was because he didn't understand the Original Sin.
Gu Qingfeng didn't even know what the true original sin was.
And how could he better understand the original sin?
The answer was simple.
Only by becoming the true owner of the original sin could he better understand the original sin.
This was just like Gu Qingfeng's current situation.
He was confused.
He was confused by himself.
Because he couldn't recognize himself, he couldn't transcend himself.
If he recognized himself, he might be able to transcend.
The current Gu Qingfeng was a person of the original sin. The original sin was him and he was the original sin, just like himself.
If after recognizing himself, he could transcend, then after recognizing the original sin, he might also be able to transcend.
But.
Was that really the case?
Gu Qingfeng wasn't too sure. He even suspected that the old monk might not be sure if he could get rid of or even transcend the original sin after becoming the true owner of the original sin. If the old monk was sure, he wouldn't just say 'perhaps'.
After thinking about it, he asked again, "Old monk, what basis did you use to deduce that after becoming the true owner of the original sin, you might be able to get rid of the original sin?"
"This old monk doesn't have any basis. This isn't something that this old monk speculated."
"Then what is it? Could it be that you heard it from somewhere? "
"This is a sentence that Supreme Wu Dao once said."
"Supreme Wu Dao?" Gu Qingfeng quickly asked, "That's right! How could I forget about Supreme Wu Dao? You said that Supreme Wu Dao and the original sin are not the same thing. Supreme Wu Dao is the original sin, but the original sin is not Supreme Wu Dao. Does this mean that Supreme Wu Dao was also a person of the original sin back then? "
"Perhaps."
"Perhaps again? You are also a person of the era of Daoless. You don't even know if Supreme Wu Dao is a person of the original sin? "
"The people of the era of Daoless are lost … This old monk is no exception. I have forgotten a lot of things and can't remember …"
"Well, I can't refute your reason, but … why do I feel that something is wrong with what you said? Although I am not a person of the era of Daoless and I know nothing about Supreme Wu Dao, but the drop of original sin blood that I fused with belongs to Supreme Wu Dao. Since his drop of blood is the blood of original sin, then that means, he didn't get rid of the original sin back then, right? "
"Scholar Ancient is right, Supreme Wu Dao indeed didn't get rid of the original sin back then."
Gu Qingfeng immediately became angry after hearing the old monk's voice: "I say, Old Monk, do you have nothing better to do? Are you messing with me? Earlier, you said that after becoming the True Lord of Original Sin, one might be able to get rid of the original sin, and you even said that Supreme Wu Dao said this. I thought that Supreme Wu Dao had gotten rid of the original sin back then, so you wanted me to imitate him. After messing around for so long, it turns out that Supreme Wu Dao didn't get rid of the original sin back then. Then you want me to compete for the position of True Lord of Original Sin? "
"Even though Supreme Wu Dao didn't get rid of the original sin back then, it doesn't mean that Scholar Ancient in the current era can't do the same."
After hearing this, Gu Qingfeng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He said: "Old Monk, you think too highly of me? Venerable Wu Dao was someone who had destroyed the Great Dao, buried the Heavens and Earth, and killed the Gods! Compared to him, I, Gu Qingfeng, am simply a child wearing open-crotch pants. Plus, I don't have the qualifications to compare to him. Even Supreme Wu Dao couldn't get rid of the original sin, so how can I, Gu Qingfeng, be able to get rid of it? "
"Amitabha, Scholar Ancient, don't forget that before Supreme Wu Dao disappeared, he turned into three thousand false selves, and Scholar Ancient was one of them."
"And then? What about it? "
"Supreme Wu Dao disappeared back then, but it doesn't mean that he will disappear forever. It also doesn't mean that he won't appear in the future. One of the three thousand false selves in the current era might become Supreme Wu Dao." He paused for a moment before continuing: "So, even though Supreme Wu Dao didn't get rid of the original sin back then, it doesn't mean that Supreme Wu Dao in the current era won't be able to."
