"Junior sister, it's great that you can think like that." Nalan Qianqiu said, "The Nine Heavens sent me here today to invite you over to talk about the tribulation. They also want to apologise to you for what happened last time, so …"
"There's no need to apologise."
Su 'Er said casually, "I said that the Nine Heavens didn't do anything wrong, so there's no need to apologise to me."
"Junior sister, if you didn't want to go, I didn't want to force you, but …"
Nalan Qianqiu's expression was very helpless. He picked up the white jade cup and drank the Life Wine in the cup in one gulp. He said, "Elder Yun and the other Ancestors who have a deep relationship with Langya begged me with tears and snot … I was forced to come here. I'm afraid they're still waiting in my cave residence. If I don't invite you back today, I … won't be able to go back."
"Elder Yun has a deep relationship with Lang Ya Blessed Land. Moreover, Lang Ya Blessed Land owes him a great favor. If he were to show up, neither you nor I would ignore it. I can understand your difficulties and I don't want to make things difficult for you, but …"
Su 'Er shook her head and said, "It's just that with my current situation, it's no longer suitable for me to participate in the tribulation."
"Why?" Nalan Qianqiu asked in confusion, "What's wrong with you?"
"I've lost myself, lost in my obsession with Emperor You. I don't know if this obsession is caused by karma, or if it's fate, or if … I've truly fallen in love with Emperor You …"
"You!"
Hearing that Su 'Er had lost herself in her obsession with Emperor You, Nalan Qianqiu was stunned and his expression dimmed as he said, "So you've lost yourself …"
Nalan Qianqiu knew.
Ever since Emperor You had ignited the Original Sin Karmic Flames and died 10,000 years ago, Su 'Er's mental state had completely changed.
After hearing about this, their Eldest Senior Sister Cang Yan had said that such a big change in Su 'Er's state of mind was incredibly beneficial to her path of cultivation, but it was also a great hindrance to her own fortune.
As expected.
Su 'Er's path of cultivation had been incredibly smooth, and she had almost become a Saint.
However, there was always a trace of obsession in her heart. It was also this obsession that caused her to be unable to let it go. In the end, she was unable to become a true Saint.
Cang Yan said that Su 'Er was unable to become a Saint because of this obsession, and she would definitely be lost in this obsession in the future.
Nalan Qianqiu had never doubted her First Senior Sister's words. She just didn't expect it to come so soon.
"How about … you go and look for Eldest Senior Sister?" Nalan Qianqiu said worriedly, "See if she can help you transcend."
Su 'Er shook her head and said, "Big Senior Sister can't help me transcend. No one can help me transcend. The only one who can help me transcend is myself."
"This …"
Nalan Qianqiu fell into deep thought.
She thought about it. If Su 'Er was truly lost in her obsession with the You Emperor and was unable to transcend, it was indeed not suitable for her to participate in the tribulation.
No.
It was not as simple as just not being suitable. If the lost Su 'Er joined in, not only would she not be of any help, but she would also make things even more complicated.
"Empress Qianqiu."
Qian Shan said, "Although there aren't many Tribulation Takers in the modern era, there are still quite a few. As far as I know, the Immortal Dao accounts for more than half of them. Moreover, the Empyrean has always been cultivating and supporting these Tribulation Takers. Even if the Saintess doesn't participate, you won't hinder the Immortal Dao's tribulation plan."
"Although there are many Tribulation Takers in the modern era in the Empyrean, but …" Nalan Qianqiu said seriously, "Looking at all the living beings in the world, I'm afraid only my Junior Sister can keep the You Emperor in check. After all, the You Emperor's existence is far too special. He's the greatest variable in the modern era. His fate is not determined by the heavens, and his karma is also confusing and unpredictable. The Tribulation Takers in the Empyrean have no idea how to deal with the other Original Sins, so how can they deal with an existence like the You Emperor?"
Qian Shan asked suspiciously, "I heard that the Empyrean has already cultivated a Tribulation Taker who wants to replace our Saintess? Saintess Qianqiu, is this true? "
Nalan Qianqiu first looked at Qianqiu in surprise, as if he didn't expect her to know about this. Then, he looked at Su'Er. Seeing Su'Er's calm expression, he said, "There is indeed such a thing, but it's all in vain. Not only the Immortal Dao, but also the Demonic Dao, Demon Dao, Witch Dao, Heavenly Dao, and even the Buddhist Dao have already made arrangements for this."
Qian Shan knew that the arrangement Nalan Qianqiu was talking about referred to the ancient era, when the various Great Daos deduced that the variable in the modern era would be born in the secular world. Therefore, the various Great Daos made arrangements to tie the variable in the modern era, which was also the You Emperor. It was said that the various Great Daos had reincarnated in order to tie the variable in the modern era.
This was the 'Traction Plan' that the various Great Daos of the ancient era came together without prior consultation.
As for how many reincarnated Great Daos had participated in the Traction Plan, Qian Shan didn't know.
However, he heard that these Great Daos who participated in the Traction Plan all failed without exception.
None of them were tied to the variable in the modern era.
What was puzzling was that there were a few people who didn't participate in the Traction Plan who were somehow tied to the variable in the modern era.
Feng Zhuyue was one of them, Tang HuanYue was one of them, Ye Tianlan was one of them, Yun Nishang was one of them … and the Saintess Su'Er was one of them.
No one knew whether these people were tied to the You Emperor by karma, or if they were originally tied to the You Emperor by karma.
However.
Qian Shan said that the Nine Heavens had already nurtured a Savior who had inherited the Destiny to try and replace the Saintess. He wasn't referring to the Traction Plan that the various Great Daos of the ancient era came up with without prior consultation, but something else.
She heard that after the You Emperor ignited the Original Sin Hellfire at the Pathless Mountain in the modern era, the Nine Heavens had already secretly nurtured a Savior who had inherited the Destiny to try and replace the Saintess.
In other words.
The Nine Heavens hadn't placed all their bets on Su'Er. Perhaps it should be said that after the Nine Heavens had placed all their bets on Su'Er, they realized that something was wrong. Perhaps they had deduced something, so the Nine Heavens had nurtured another Savior who had inherited the Destiny to try and replace Su'Er to deal with the You Emperor.
Qian Shan knew that Nalan Qianqiu must know about this, but Nalan Qianqiu was pretending to be ignorant, so she couldn't say anything.
"Originally, I didn't want to talk about this secret, and I can't talk about it either. After all, I'm a member of the Immortal Dao, and a member of the Immortal Dao who has inherited the Destiny of the Heavens. There's a saying that one should be softhearted after receiving a gift from someone, so if I reveal this secret, it would be too immoral."
Changing the topic, Nalan Qianqiu slowly exhaled and smiled faintly. "However, since we're talking about this today, there's no harm in me saying something."
