Staring at Gu Qingfeng, Taoist Plum Blossom stood up and said with a complicated expression, "I believe that Her Majesty would never misjudge a person."
"That's not necessarily true. Everyone makes mistakes sometimes. Even the heavens take a nap sometimes. What's more, Jun Xuanji. Nothing is absolute in this world. I believe that fate is no exception."
Taoist Plum Blossom's expression froze. He seemed to understand the meaning behind Gu Qingfeng's words. He asked, "Does the Venerable Sovereign still wish to be free from the original sin?"
"Although there doesn't seem to be much hope, I'm really unwilling to give up just like that." Gu Qingfeng plucked a piece of plum blossom and put it in his palm. He said, "There's a saying. As long as one is alive, one must have a dream. What if it happens to come true? Who can say for sure?"
Taoist Plum Blossom's expression was agitated. "I really don't understand why the Venerable Sovereign doesn't wish to be the true owner of the original sin!"
"The reason is simple." Gu Qingfeng crushed the plum blossom in his hand and scattered it on the ground. "I've never believed in fate. I didn't believe in it before, I don't believe in it now, and I won't believe in it in the future. I'll never believe in it."
"Sigh!"
Taoist Plum Blossom sighed again. He shook his head and asked dejectedly, "When does the Venerable Sovereign intend to be free of the original sin? And how?"
"There's no rush. Besides …" Gu Qingfeng looked up at the sky. "I'll have to ask if they're willing to give me a chance to be free of the original sin."
"What if they're unwilling to give you a chance to be free of the original sin?" Taoist Plum Blossom asked hopefully, "Does that mean the Venerable Sovereign won't be free of the original sin?"
"Of course not. If they're unwilling to give me a chance to be free of the original sin, then I'll have to beat them until they do!"
"This …"
Taoist Plum Blossom shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. He sighed helplessly, "No wonder the Venerable Sovereign didn't leave even though he knew someone was behind this. It seems … the Venerable Sovereign already had a plan."
"Alright, let's stop here."
Gu Qingfeng clapped his hands and the plum blossom fragments in his hands fell to the ground. He stretched and said, "I will do what you ask of me. If I can see Jun Xuanji, I will give her the Ancestral Token and persuade her to fuse with her natal soul. If anyone wants to take this opportunity to kill Jun Xuanji, I will do my best. Just treat it as returning her a favor."
Gu Qingfeng was just about to turn and leave when Plum Blossom's voice rang out behind him.
"Venerable Sovereign, please wait."
"What? Is there anything else? If you still want to persuade me to seek the secrets of the Daoless Era, don't open your mouth. I've already made it very clear just now. "
"No! I wasn't talking about that. "
"Then what is it?"
"Actually, there is one thing that I have always wanted to tell you, but I haven't had the chance for so many years. If I don't open my mouth today, I'm afraid I won't have the chance to tell the Ancestor about it in the future."
Gu Qingfeng looked at him and didn't say anything, waiting for him to continue.
"The Empress reincarnated into the Ancient World. Whether it was to cut off karma or to graft karma, I may not know, but … the Empress really fell in love with the Ancestor back then."
Gu Qingfeng smiled slightly. "Senior, I say, since I said I would help Jun Xuanji, I will definitely help her. Why do you have to say this?"
"No! I am not saying this to ask the Ancestor to help the Empress get through this crisis. Even if the Empress didn't suffer this calamity, I have always wanted to tell the Ancestor about it. Unfortunately, I haven't had the chance to see the Ancestor for so many years. If I don't tell you this today, I won't rest in peace. "
Pausing for a moment, Daoist Plum Blossom continued, "Her Majesty reincarnated into the Immemorial World to sever karma or to graft karma. After reincarnating, Her Majesty doesn't remember anything from her previous life. Everything is a new beginning. Her Majesty really fell in love with Di Zun. After being rejected by Di Zun, Her Majesty didn't pretend to be sad. Her falling into the Devil's Path wasn't a pretense either. If it was a pretense, Her Majesty wouldn't have awakened her memories of her previous life … nor would she have lost her memories."
"Is that so?"
Gu Qingfeng didn't seem to have much of an emotional change. His plain face was still as calm as ever. He said, "Okay, I know. See you later."
After that.
Gu Qingfeng disappeared in a flash.
On the way, Gu Qingfeng kept thinking about Plum Blossom's words.
To tell the truth.
In the past, Gu Qingfeng did wonder if Jun Xuanji really had feelings for him or if it was just a pretense.
But that was just in the past.
Now, he didn't care about this at all. As for whether Jun Xuanji really had feelings for him back then, he didn't know and didn't want to know.
It wasn't that he had let it go. Because the problem he was struggling with was not whether Jun Xuanji had feelings for him, but whether he had feelings for Jun Xuanji.
This was the root of his struggle.
He couldn't tell if he had feelings for Jun Xuanji, or if it was a problem of the original sin, karma, or whatever fate.
And now, he couldn't be bothered to think about such a troublesome thing.
He was thinking about how to get rid of the original sin.
What he had said to Plum Blossom wasn't a lie.
Originally, after igniting the original sin fire in Wudao Mountain, Gu Qingfeng hadn't been able to get rid of the original sin. He had been thinking about whether to accept his fate.
He had no choice but to accept his fate. He really didn't know how to get rid of the original sin. Most importantly, he really couldn't be bothered to torment himself. He wanted to let nature take its course, resign himself to fate, and do whatever he wanted.
Ever since he woke up, he had been finding all kinds of reasons to comfort himself all the way from the Biji Heavenly Domain. He didn't care about the affairs of the world, didn't care about anyone or anything in the Wudao Era, and tried to hypnotize himself.
He wanted to numb himself and convince himself to accept his fate and accept his fate.
It was true.
Gu Qingfeng wanted to accept his fate, but in the end, he realized that no matter how he tried to hypnotize himself, comfort himself, and numb himself, he still couldn't convince himself. His inner pride didn't allow him to accept his fate, and his self-esteem didn't allow him to accept his fate. And if he just accepted his fate like this, he really couldn't accept it.
In the end, he decided to get rid of the original sin and change his fate. He wouldn't give up until he died, and he would never admit defeat.
Although he still didn't know how to get rid of the original sin, he wasn't in a hurry now. Since he had made up his mind, he could only fight to the death on this path.
And now, there was a problem in front of him that he had to solve. That was to let the 3,000 Great Daos, the blessed paradises, the forbidden lands of the Ultimate Ruins, and everyone else understand his attitude.
