There was no sky above the black hole, no earth below, as if there was no time. There was only endless turbulence devouring and merging with each other.
The gazebo looked out of place.
It was as if it didn't belong to the black hole. No matter how much turbulence roared, it couldn't shake it at all.
Outside the pavilion.
Nalan Qianqiu, who had been silent all this time, looked in the direction where the Mad Monk had left. He frowned slightly as if he couldn't understand something. After a while, he asked, "Senior Sister, do you think the Mad Monk will really leave through the black hole?"
At the side, Cang Yan looked at the vast ancient black hole. His eyes were a little hesitant and a little dazed.
When she heard Nalan Qianqiu's voice, she shook her head without thinking and replied softly, "No."
"Ah?"
Nalan Qianqiu didn't expect Cang Yan to answer like this. He was surprised and asked, "Why?"
"There are still many things he has yet to do. There are also many things waiting for him to do in this Desolate Ancient Black Hole. Furthermore, he has already staked everything he has and his future on this Desolate Ancient Black Hole.
"Senior Sister, you already knew that the Mad Monk wouldn't leave the black hole?"
"Yes."
"Since you already knew, why did you let him go?"
"What else could I do? Do you really want to send him to Samsara? " A helpless smile appeared at the corner of Cang Yan's mouth. "The Mad Monk Daxing is not as simple as you think. He just makes you think he is simple. With his ability, even if I use all my strength, I might not be able to send him to reincarnation."
"Is the Mad Monk really that powerful?"
"Believe me, the Mad Monk is far more powerful than you think. Or should I say … far more powerful than he thinks."
"Senior Sister, do you mean that the Mad Monk doesn't even know how powerful he is?"
"Yes."
Nalan Qianqiu's frown deepened. He was even more confused and asked, "But Senior Sister, you clearly know that the Mad Monk won't leave the black hole, and you said that you can't send him to Samsara. Then why are you doing all this? Are you just trying to scare him?"
"No."
Cang Yan said, "I came to see him not to threaten or scare him, but to make him understand one thing."
"What is it?"
"Do what he wants to do."
"Do what he wants to do? What did Mad Monk Daxing want to do, and what should he do? Senior Sister, why am I getting more and more confused? "
Cang Yan did not answer the question directly. Instead, he asked, "Qianqiu, what can you see in this ancient black hole?"
Nalan Qianqiu was somewhat baffled by this question. She didn't know why her Senior Sister would suddenly ask such a strange question.
She raised her head and looked at the boundless ancient black hole, then at the endless turbulence. She shook her head and said, "I can't see anything."
"It's right that you can't see. Not only can you not see, I can't see either. The Nine Heavens, the Nine Underworlds, the Blessed Enclave, the Ruins of the End, the Forbidden Land of the Holy Region … Everything in this world can't see. Because of this, many people gradually lost their sense of direction. They began to doubt, hesitate, lose their bearings …"
"That's what happened to Mad Monk Daxing. He gambled everything on this place, but when he really came here, the chaotic situation made him lose his sense of direction. He even forgot what he wanted to do."
"He was like that, and you are no exception."
"Me?"
The confused Nalan Qianqiu couldn't figure out why Mad Monk Daxing suddenly changed the topic to her.
"Qianqiu, I also hope that you can do what you want to do."
Nalan Qianqiu smiled bitterly and said, "Senior Sister, I don't know what I want to do at all, let alone what I should do."
"You."
Cang Yan turned around and stared at her, asking, "You really don't know?"
"I …"
Meeting Cang Yan's dark eyes, Nalan Qianqiu seemed to feel a little guilty. She didn't dare to look directly at her, lowered her head, and chose to remain silent.
It wasn't that she didn't know what she wanted to do, and it wasn't that she didn't know what she should do.
She knew.
She always knew.
She was the Great Dao Empress who inherited the mandate of heaven. She had the responsibility and obligation to protect the Great Dao. This was what she should do, and what she wanted to do.
She didn't want the Great Dao to fall, and she didn't want the world to be reborn.
Before this, she had always thought that original sin was the enemy of the Great Dao, and that original sin was the culprit of everything.
Later, she realized that it wasn't original sin that really wanted to destroy the Great Dao, but fate.
She thought that as long as original sin was erased, the Great Dao wouldn't fall, and heaven and earth wouldn't be reborn.
Later, she realized that if original sin was erased, it was tantamount to going against heaven and disobeying fate.
So.
Nalan Qianqiu was confused and hesitant.
As Cang Yan said, she lost her direction and began to doubt whether she should continue to protect the Great Dao.
"Senior Sister, can you tell me whether it's right for me to continue to protect the Great Dao?"
"You shouldn't ask me this question."
"Then who should I ask? Should I ask Tianji Empress? "
"It's useless to ask her, and she can't answer your question. You should ask yourself."
"Senior Sister." Nalan Qianqiu wanted to cry but had no tears. "If I knew, I wouldn't ask you."
"I said, do what you want to do. As long as you want to do it, do it. It doesn't matter whether it's right or wrong."
"But … but …"
Nalan Qianqiu really didn't know what to say. She said gloomily, "Senior Sister, can you tell me a few questions accurately?"
"The first question is whether the things recorded in the Book of Destiny will definitely happen, and whether they can't be changed."
"The second question is whether destiny wants to destroy the Great Dao, or original sin wants to destroy the Great Dao. If destiny wants original sin to destroy the Great Dao, then what's the meaning of the existence of us Great Dao? Destiny can't let original sin destroy the Great Dao, and let us protect the Great Dao at the same time, right? Isn't this contradictory? "
"The third question is whether destiny is one of the 3,000 Great Dao. If it is, if it destroys the Great Dao, then won't destiny also fall?"
"The fourth question is, what's the meaning of original sin? Is it to erase the Great Dao or to erase destiny?"
Nalan Qianqiu asked all the doubts in her heart in one breath. This was also the answer she had always wanted to know.
However, when she asked these questions, Cang Yan closed her eyes and shook her head slightly. There was a kind of sadness in her expression. After a long time, she inexplicably smiled, and her smile was very strange.
"Senior Sister, what are you smiling about?"
"Qianqiu, do you know? I've also asked Nameless Ancient Immortal the same questions you've asked me. "
"What did Tianji Empress say?"
"She seriously told me that if possible, she would want to know the answer to these questions more than me."
