What was love?
Family was love.
Friendship was love.
Love was love.
Even if he didn't want to, he had to admit that Emperor Peafowl was right.
He was trapped by love.
It was friendship, love, and family.
He knew that love was the reason he couldn't comprehend the true essence of the great dao.
He also knew that love was the reason he had to give up on many things. There were many things he wanted to do but couldn't do.
He knew.
He always knew. He knew it better than anyone.
He could be emotionless, and he could forget.
He could ignore all emotions.
He could forget about love.
Yes.
He could.
Not only could he, he had done so in his past life. He was cold-blooded and emotionless.
He thought that as long as he ignored all emotions, he would be able to transcend the word 'emotion'.
It wasn't until he awakened in his past life that he realized that emotionless was emotionless, and emotionless was emotionless. Emotionlessness didn't mean transcendence, and emotionlessness didn't mean transcendence.
The more emotionless one was, the more one cared. The more emotionless one was, the deeper one would fall into love.
The only way to transcend love was to see through it.
However.
Emperor Floating Life hadn't seen through love in his past life, and he still couldn't see through it in this life.
He couldn't see through it, and he couldn't do it. Instead, he fell deeper and deeper into love.
If he could, he wanted to stand up against fate, or even kill it.
Even though he was the Receiver of Destiny, he still wanted to kill fate. Or rather, it was because he was the Receiver of Destiny that he wanted to kill fate even more.
The reason was simple.
His past life's fate was controlled by someone else. His present life's fate was still controlled by someone else.
He didn't want his future to be controlled by someone else.
Unfortunately.
He couldn't do that.
Monarch Bliss knew very well that if he really did that, he would lose everyone he cared about.
He cared about not only his master and disciple in this life, but also the woman he cared about the most in his past life.
Earlier.
Emperor Peafowl asked him a question. He asked if he could afford to lose.
Emperor Floating Life said he didn't know.
Emperor Peafowl said that if he said he didn't know, then he couldn't afford to lose.
However, Emperor Fu Sheng didn't think so. It wasn't that he couldn't afford to lose, but that he didn't know how to win.
When he heard Emperor Peafowl mention Emperor You, Emperor Bliss looked into the distance. It was the direction Gu Qingfeng had left in. "I admit that I can't transcend love, but how do you know that Emperor You can't?"
"Even you, the calamity facing variable who inherited the true fate, had the karma of the love tribulation planted by fate. What's more, Emperor You is a predestined variable of the original sin. You are important to fate, but he is even more important to fate. You decide the success or failure of fate, but he decides the success or failure of fate. Fate wants to control you, but it wants to control him even more."
"You know about Emperor You's past?"
"I did."
"Even outsiders know that Emperor You's karma has been grafted and that his fate has been arranged. I think Emperor You should know even better."
"Knowing and knowing are two different things. Love isn't something you can see through just because you know about it. I think you know this very well."
Emperor Peafowl changed the topic and said, "Moreover … the love that Emperor You faces is not as simple as it seems. I believe that fate has planted more than just karma in him. It may be a love that even the Great Oblivion can't forget. It may even be a love that he can't transcend."
"Is fate really that scary?"
"Believe me." Turning around, Emperor Peafowl put away the smile on his face and stared at Emperor Bliss. "No one can imagine how terrible fate can be." He said word by word, pausing between each word.
Emperor Floating Life fell silent again.
Emperor Peafowl looked very disappointed. He looked like a downtrodden member of the royal family. He raised his head and closed his eyes slightly.
It was at this moment.
Boom boom boom —
A loud noise rang out. The turbulent vortexes that filled the sky suddenly spun violently. The entire ancient ruins trembled and swayed.
"It's finally here."
Emperor Peafowl opened his eyes and said helplessly, "It's finally about to begin …"
Emperor Floating Life looked up at the violently spinning turbulent vortexes in the sky. A moment later, he cupped his fists and said, "Farewell!"
"Farewell!"
Emperor Floating Life was about to leave, but he turned his head to look at the desert. He didn't say anything and disappeared in a flash.
After he left, Emperor Peafowl also turned his head to look at the desert. He seemed a little hesitant. Then, he shook his head and disappeared in a flash as well.
Boom boom boom —
As the turbulent vortex spun more and more fiercely, the Desolate Ancient Ruins shook more and more violently. The desert was like a tsunami, wantonly rolling and roaring. The beam of light that had suddenly appeared had long since disappeared. Looking at it, the entire Desolate Ancient Ruins looked like it was about to collapse.
Two figures appeared in the desert right after Emperor Fleeting and Emperor Peafowl had disappeared one after another.
One of them was dressed in black robes, a black hat, and even a black veil covering his face.
The other person was completely wrapped in white cloth.
They were none other than the Witch Queen and Bai Chou.
The two of them appeared where Emperor Floating Life and Emperor Peafowl had been looking.
The Witch Queen and Bai Chou looked at the violently spinning turbulent vortexes and said, "You showed up suddenly just now to let them know that you were here."
The Witch Queen nodded in response.
"Was it to warn Emperor Peafowl, or to warn Emperor Floating Life?"
"It was both a warning and a reminder."
"Hehe."
Bai Chou asked again, "When Frenzied Monk Daxing was with Emperor You, you seemed to have done the same. Was it to warn Frenzied Monk Daxing and Emperor You?"
The Witch Queen nodded again.
"Was it to warn Mad Monk Great Traitor and Emperor Peafowl not to speak carelessly, and to warn Emperor Floating Life and Emperor You not to be influenced by them?"
Although the Great Witch didn't respond this time, Bai Chou seemed to know the answer already. "The Mad Monk and Emperor Peafowl really do have a tacit understanding. One of them is keeping an eye on the predestined variables of original sin, while the other is keeping an eye on the variables of tribulation. It seems that Buddhism … no, Zen Buddhism is going all out this time."
Exhaling slowly, Bai Chou said rather helplessly, "They're playing with fire, and each of them is bigger than the last. Emperor Peafowl is fine, at least he knows his limits. Monarch Bliss is also a rational man, so he won't be affected by Emperor Peafowl's actions. But … the Mad Monk is playing with fire a little too big, and Emperor You is a man who does as he pleases."
"Mad Monk Great Traitor has been by Emperor You's side all this time, and he's spouting both truths and lies. It's to the point where everyone in the world is on edge. Emperor You hasn't done anything terrible yet, but as time goes on … I'm afraid that he'll …"
"The situation is already chaotic enough, but Mad Monk Great Traitor is making it even more chaotic … I really don't know what he's trying to do."
