"Is this really the Sunset Valley?"
"You … can't believe it, or you can't accept it?"
Bai Chou's words struck a chord in Gu Qingfeng's heart. He could not believe it, and could not accept it.
It did not feel so real, like a dream.
He had never thought that the mysterious Sunset Valley would be a Desolate Ancient Ruin.
What was even more unexpected was that he would come to the Sunset Valley again in this Desolate Ancient Black Hole.
He felt that something was wrong.
But he couldn't pinpoint what was wrong at the moment.
Thinking of what Bai Chou had said, Gu Qingfeng asked again, "How did you know that I would come here?"
"There is heaven's will. You and I both belong here. We were born because of this place. Karma has long been predestined. What should come will come … no one can avoid it."
"Karma … karma again."
Gu Qingfeng's head hurt when he heard the word 'karma'. This thing was far too intangible. It couldn't be seen or touched, but it felt like it was everywhere. It couldn't be cut off, dodged, or escaped.
"I originally thought that you were a variable, and the biggest variable. You were the root of all wrong karma. You could avoid karma, or at least not be in it." Bai Chou stared at the Sunset Valley and murmured, "After you came here, I finally understood something that had puzzled me for a long time."
"What is it?"
"Wrong karma is still karma. Even if the biggest variable is, no matter how deep the original sin is, it cannot escape karma."
When Mad Monk Daxing heard this, his expression changed slightly, as if he had realized something. He looked up at Gu Qingfeng and opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but hesitated.
Gu Qingfeng murmured Bai Chou's words. He seemed to have understood something and was silent.
"Little Guy Gu, don't think I'm long-winded. I think what she said may be true. No matter how wrong karma is, it cannot escape the law of karma."
In the end, Mad Monk Daxing couldn't take it anymore and said, "In other words, there's an eighty to ninety percent chance that you're the fated True Lord of the Original Sin, and once you're fated … it means that everything has been a conspiracy from the beginning, a conspiracy to kill you and completely eliminate the Original Sin."
Gu Qingfeng shook his head.
He was not denying Mad Monk Daxing.
In fact.
Even if Mad Monk Daxing did not say it, Gu Qingfeng could think of this.
Especially when Bai Chou said that no matter how wrong the cause and effect was, it was still cause and effect. In the end, it could not escape the law of cause and effect. If all of this was true, then what Crazy Monk Daxing said might become reality. It meant that the destined True Lord of Original Sin was a conspiracy to get rid of Original Sin from the beginning.
The question was, who was the fated True Lord of the original sin?
Was it really him?
To be honest.
Gu Qingfeng didn't think so.
He always had a feeling in his heart that Little Jin 'er was the fated Lord of Original Sin.
He believed in his own feelings, even if all signs indicated that he was the destined True Lord of the Original Sin.
He had never doubted his own feelings.
Even now, it was no exception.
But if True Lord of the original sin was Little Jin Er, why did all the signs indicate that he was the fated True Lord of the original sin?
Or could it be that his feelings were wrong? Little Jin 'er was not destined to be the True Lord of Sin, but he was?
He did not know.
The more he experienced, the more confused Gu Qingfeng became.
After a long time.
"If I remember correctly, there seems to be a well in the Sunset Valley."
"You want to find Empress Wu You, right?"
Gu Qingfeng nodded.
He still clearly remembered that the drop of Original Sin Blood had floated out from a well in Sunset Valley. Furthermore, the sleeping Empress You You was also lying in the well. However, he didn't know if there was another well in Sunset Valley, or if Empress You You was still inside.
Regarding this.
Bai Chou just shook her head slightly and did not answer. He did not know if she did not want to answer, or if she did not know.
Gu Qingfeng did not stay for long. Instead, he went to find that well.
Because he had too many questions in his heart that needed answers. He might not know if Empress Wu You could answer his questions, but he was sure that all of this had something to do with Empress Wu You.
"Little Guy Gu, I think we should leave this place."
"What's wrong?"
"Boy, you really want to find Empress Wu You?"
Gu Qingfeng could tell that there was a hidden meaning in the monk's words. "What do you mean? Just say it."
"I suddenly thought of something. Boy, do you still remember the Quicksand Secret Realm?"
Hearing the words Quicksand Secret Realm, Gu Qingfeng was startled. Of course he remembered the Quicksand Secret Realm. Back then, he had ignited the Original Sin Hellfire at Pathless Mountain. After sleeping for ten thousand years, he had awakened in the Quicksand Secret Realm.
Thinking of this, Gu Qingfeng also remembered something.
He had never understood why he had awakened in the Quicksand Secret Realm. Later, he learned from Mad Monk Daxing that after he ignited the Original Sin Hellfire at Pathless Mountain, Ancient Wuming, Jun Xuanji, and Empress Wu You had all gone to the Quicksand Secret Realm. Mad Monk Daxing said that after he ignited the Original Sin Hellfire, the Quicksand Secret Realm seemed to have given birth to another Original Sin Variable. As for why he had awakened in the Quicksand Secret Realm, Mad Monk Daxing did not know.
"I remember that when we met in the One-Line Sky Forbidden Ground, I seemed to have told you about the Quicksand Secret Realm?"
Monk Daxing said, "In the past, I always thought that Empress Wuyou was using that drop of Original Sin Blood to give birth to the Original Sin Variable. Later, I thought that it wasn't Empress Wuyou who was giving birth, but the drop of Original Sin Blood itself. Later, I realized that it wasn't Empress Wuyou who was giving birth, nor was it the Original Sin Blood that was giving birth. It was karma and destiny that was giving birth to the Original Sin Variable like you.
After a pause, Mad Monk Daxing continued. "Karma Fate's goal in creating a Original Sin Variable like you is very simple. It is to let you become the True Master of Original Sin, and then kill you to completely remove the Original Sin."
"Back then, after you ignited the Original Sin Hellfire at Pathless Mountain, the Quicksand Secret Realm immediately gave birth to a Original Sin Variable. I did not understand what was going on before, but I gradually understood that after you ignited the Original Sin Hellfire, Karma Fate must have thought that you were dead. If you were dead, then no one would become the True Master of Original Sin, and the Original Sin Variable could not be removed. Therefore, Karma Fate immediately created another Original Sin Variable like you to replace you."
"The problem is …" Gu Qingfeng muttered. "I am not dead."
"I don't know why you didn't die, but it's not impossible. After all, you are a variable of Original Sin. Even if you can't escape the law of karma, karma can't absolutely control your fate. A variable must be outside of the fixed, unpredictable. That's why karma thought you were dead when you ignited the Karmic Fire of Original Sin."
