Gu Qingfeng nodded. He believed Taoist Plum Blossom's words.
Based on his understanding of the original sins and the Daoless Era, he felt that this was more or less the case.
"I know that the Emperor doesn't care about worldly affairs and doesn't want to be the key to the Daoless Era. You only want to be free. However, I want to say that if you can't get rid of the original sins, whether it's the Three Thousand Great Paths, the Blessed Enclave, the Ultimate, the Sacred Grounds, or your ancient clansmen, you'll never be able to shake them off."
Gu Qingfeng smiled and asked, "Elder, do you mean … if I can't get rid of the original sins, I can only accept my fate and become the true owner of the original sins and start the Daoless Era?"
"No!"
Taoist Plum Blossom shook his head. "I don't mean that."
"Then what do you mean?"
Taoist Plum Blossom didn't answer the question immediately. After a while, he asked, "Dare I ask why the Emperor is so resistant to the original sins?"
"I've never resisted the original sins. If I had, I wouldn't have fallen so deeply."
"Although the Emperor didn't resist, he didn't accept the original sins either, right?" Taoist Plum Blossom said sincerely, "If we're talking about the Emperor's attitude toward the original sins, I'm afraid there are only four words — let nature take its course."
Hearing this.
Gu Qingfeng was quite surprised. He squinted at Taoist Plum Blossom and said, "You're indeed an elder from the Primordial Era. Your eyes are really sharp."
"What sharp eyes? I've just lived a little longer. Before the Daoless Mountain, the Emperor was still very resistant to the original sins. However, after igniting the Hellfire of Original Sin in the Daoless Mountain, the Emperor couldn't get rid of the original sins. I'm afraid the Emperor has given up hope. To be precise, the Emperor is too lazy to torment himself anymore … Of course, the Emperor is arrogant and unrestrained. He won't allow his fate to be decided by the heavens. Therefore, although the Emperor doesn't reject the original sins, he won't accept them either."
"That's a rare thing. Including this time, we've only met twice. Why do I feel that you seem to know me very well from your tone?"
"Di Zun and I have indeed only met twice, but I have met Di Zun more than twice."
Gu Qingfeng was startled. He sneered and raised his wine cup. After a long silence, he drained the cup in one gulp and said, "Back then, whether it was in the Ancient World or the Grand Wilderness, I always felt that someone was watching me in the dark, and there was more than one. Were you one of them?"
"Indeed."
"Heh! Gu Qingfeng asked, "Did Jun Xuanji ask you to spy on me?"
"No! The Empress didn't know that I was following the Ancestor. "
"I say, old senior, why are you staring at me for no reason?"
"Venerable Emperor, please don't misunderstand. I don't have any other intentions. I just want to understand the karma between Her Highness and Venerable Emperor."
"Then have you figured it out?"
"No."
"Since we're talking about this, there's something I don't understand. In the Ancient Age, Jun Xuanji buried her own soul and reincarnated into the Ancient World. Was it really just to sever the karma, change her fate, and escape the original sin?"
"Sigh!"
Taoist Plum Blossom sighed again and said, "This is also the reason why I was following the Ancestor. I also wanted to understand why Her Highness buried her own soul and reincarnated into the Ancient World. Was it to sever the karma, or …"
Taoist Plum Blossom didn't finish his sentence, but Gu Qingfeng finished for him. "It's still to graft the karma, right? In the myriad worlds, there might be many original sinners and many false selves. However, there were very few who were both original sinners and false selves. Moreover, they were also variables in the present and the present, so there were probably very few of them, right? Perhaps Jun Xuanji had already deduced that a variable like me would appear in the Ancient World, so she had already planned to graft the karma with me … "
Taoist Plum Blossom lowered his head and remained silent.
Obviously.
Gu Qingfeng's words hit the nail on the head.
"You said that those ancient clansmen wanted to silence me and hide the secret of the Ancient Age. Jun Xuanji should be one of them, right? She kept saying that she wanted to kill me and end everything."
"No! The Ancestor misunderstood. "
"Why? Isn't that so? "
"Those ancient clansmen wanted to kill the Ancestor to hide the secret of the Ancient Age, but Her Highness wanted to end everything."
"Is there a difference?" Gu Qingfeng asked. "And Jun Xuanji kept saying that she wanted to end everything. What exactly did she want to end?"
"I don't know." Taoist Plum Blossom said sadly, "The only thing I know is that Her Highness was willing to give up anything to end everything, even her own life."
"That's true. Not only did Jun Xuanji say that she wanted to kill me, but she also asked me to kill her …" Gu Qingfeng frowned. "Damn it, what kind of secret do you think the Ancient Age is hiding? Why is it so strange? Some people want to open it, some want to hide it, and some want to end it …"
Taoist Plum Blossom seemed to be very anxious, and also had a feeling of resentment. He said, "Since the Ancestor has so many doubts about the Ancient Age, why don't you explore it?"
"Haha."
Looking at the anxious Taoist Plum Blossom, Gu Qingfeng suddenly laughed.
"Why are you laughing, Ancestor?"
"I'm laughing. I'm laughing because you've finally said what's in your heart after going in such a big circle."
Taoist Plum Blossom didn't hide anything and said bluntly, "This is indeed what I think."
"I'm curious. You don't seem to have anything to do with the Ancient Age. It's neither a sin nor an illusion. Why do you want me to open the Ancient Age? Why, do you want to pursue the true meaning of the Great Dao? "
"Who doesn't want to pursue the true meaning of the Great Dao and ascend to godhood? I am no exception. It's just that … I hope that the Ancestor pursues the Ancient Age, not for the true meaning of the Great Dao, but for the Empress."
"For Jun Xuanji? What do you mean? "
"Since ancient times, the only one who can free the Empress from the sea of suffering is the Ancestor. I know that I don't have the qualifications to beg the Ancestor to agree to this, and I don't expect the Ancestor to agree to this. I only hope that if the Ancestor really knows the secret of the Ancient Age in the future, I hope that the Ancestor can … free the Empress from the sea of suffering …"
"If in the future I'm really unfortunate enough to become the True Lord of Original Sin, open the secret of the Ancient Age, and have the ability to help Jun Xuanji out of the sea of suffering, I'm willing to help. This isn't difficult. Of course, it's just an if … I may not be the True Lord of Original Sin recorded in the Book of Destiny."
Gu Qingfeng stood up and looked at the plum blossom forest. He said, "So, the one who can free Jun Xuanji is not me, but the True Lord of Original Sin who opened the Ancient Age."
