Rumble — —
Surging and enormous bangs resounded. They were ethereal, real, and fake. They seemed as if they came from the past, yet seemed as if they came from the future. It was even like a primordial god that had been slumbering for countless years had started to awaken. It terrified everything in the world, the 3,000 Grand Daos, and the primordial black hole.
For some reason.
The rumbling noises grew fainter, fainter, and fainter.
Furthermore, as the rumbling noises grew fainter, the turbulence in the primordial black hole also calmed down.
The nine huge turbulence vortexes that were originally spinning madly and devouring the turbulence also slowed down as the rumbling noises grew fainter and fainter.
The nine huge turbulence vortexes had devoured countless turbulence and became incomparably huge. They looked like ancient beasts that wanted to devour the turbulence in the primordial black hole completely.
It was like a bottomless abyss that buried the time and space of the primordial era.
It was like the eye of reincarnation that could lead to the past and present of the primordial black hole.
It was also like the nine space-time gates that were filled with mysteries and unknowns, as if they carried the past and future of the primordial era.
At this moment.
Ancient Nameless and Cang Yan both looked at the nine huge turbulence vortexes that revolved in the primordial black hole. Both of them knew that these were the nine palaces that the primordial black hole gave birth to.
It not only buried the time and space of the primordial era, but also the past and present of the primordial era. At the same time, it also carried the past and future of the primordial era.
Both Ancient Nameless and Cang Yan knew that once the primordial black hole gave birth to the nine palaces, it meant that the primordial era that had disappeared back then would revive and reappear.
And once the primordial era revived and reappeared, it meant that the prelude that would decide the fate of the Great Dao would begin.
"Is it finally … starting?"
Cang Yan asked. Perhaps it was a question, but it was more like a mumble to himself.
"Yes, it's finally starting …"
Ancient Nameless replied. It seemed like a reply, but it also seemed like a mumble to himself.
Cang Yan walked into the pavilion and sat down. He poured two cups of wine and said, "Nine is the number of variables, the meaning is infinite. The palaces are fixed, the meaning is one. The primordial black hole gave birth to the nine palaces. Is the number of variables greater or the fixed?"
"The number of variables is great, but so is the fixed. Everything is unknown."
Ancient Wuming sat down as well. She picked up a cup of wine but did not drink. Instead, she stared at the wine in her cup.
"In other words, if the variables in the Nine Palaces are greater than the fixed number, the fate of the future will change."
Ancient Wuming glanced at Cang Yan and nodded, "You can understand it that way."
Cang Yan asked, "Can it be understood in such a way?"
Nameless Immemorial nodded in agreement, "That's the only way to understand it."
"You can't be sure, can you?"
Ancient Wuming nodded.
"That is to say, the Ancient Desolate Black Hole Evolution Nine Palace is a battle between a variable and a fixed number. If the variable wins, the fate can be reversed. If the fixed number wins, the fate is already fixed."
"Karma is karma after all. No matter how chaotic karma is, it is still karma. The Ancient Desolate Black Hole Derived Nine Palaces is the prior cause."
"Who do you think has a higher chance of winning? Is it a variable or a fixed number? "
Nameless Ancient shook her head lightly. It was unknown if she did not know the answer to the question, or if she did not wish to answer it.
Cang Yan chuckled and did not continue asking.
There were many destinies in this world, and she was one of them. She was not the only one. All those who had the Heaven's Will were destinies as well. However, these destinies were set by the heavens and not by fate. In other words, those who had the Heaven's Will might not necessarily follow it.
For example, Cang Yan.
She was both the Great Dao Immortal Emperor and the Great Dao Devil Emperor. She inherited the imperial authority of the Great Dao Fate Immortals and the imperial authority of the Great Dao Fate Devils.
Logically speaking, protecting the Great Dao was her responsibility and duty. It was also her fate.
However.
If she did not wish to protect the Great Dao, she could choose not to.
As for going against the Mandate of Heaven, Cang Yan did not care at all.
However, there were some existences who were truly fixed numbers.
For example, her Junior Sister Su. She did not inherit the Mandate of Heaven, but the Mandate of Heaven. She was a Tribulation Taker who inherited the Mandate of Heaven. She had to face the calamity of the Great Dao.
In addition, there was Emperor Fu Sheng. He was also a Tribulation Taker who inherited the Mandate of Heaven. He also faced the calamity of the Great Dao.
There was also the Great Sun Emperor and Emperor Changfeng. They were all Tribulation Takers who inherited the Mandate of Heaven.
That was how fixed numbers were.
There were also many variables in the world.
If the Great Dao Takers who inherited the Mandate of Heaven could be called fixed numbers, then all the Original Sinners could also be called variables.
Some Great Dao Takers who inherited the Mandate of Heaven might not abide by the Mandate of Heaven.
Similarly, most of the Original Sinners' variables could be said to be negligible. The impact of their changes could also be ignored.
However, some variables could affect fate and even change fate.
For example, the Nine Serenities, Gu Qingfeng.
For example, the Carefree Emperor, Mo Wen Tian.
For example, the Endless Devil Emperor, Ren Tianxing!
They were all great variables of the Original Sinners.
There was also the Western Heaven Buddhist Emperor, Miraculous Rulai. According to Cang Yan's knowledge, he was also a great variable of the Original Sinners.
How many fixed numbers and variables were there in the world?
Cang Yan did not know either.
Not to mention Cang Yan did not know, even Ancient Nameless could not be sure.
Because karma was already in chaos, no one knew how many fixed numbers and variables were born.
There were definitely many fixed numbers of the Mandate of Heaven, but there were also many variables of the Original Sinners. This was especially so for the Sacred Grounds and the Ultimate Sinners. The Sacred Grounds' Mandate of Heaven and the Ultimate Sinners' variables were probably equal. Moreover, the Heavenly Dao had yet to appear, and the Heavenly Dao was probably the greatest fixed number in the world.
What gave Cang Yan the most headache was that due to the chaos of karma, some fixed numbers and variables that should not have been born were born. There were even some existences that were both variables and fixed numbers.
The Ancient Desolate Black Hole, the Nine Palaces, the variables and the fixed numbers of the battle.
There were too many unknowns about who would win and who would lose in this battle.
"If there are existences outside of the variables and fixed numbers involved in this battle …"
In response to Cang Yan's question, Ancient Nameless repeated what he had just said, "Karma is karma after all. No matter how chaotic karma is, it is still karma. Be it variables, fixed numbers, or even irrelevant existences, as long as they participate, they will definitely form unknown karma …"
"Actually, I have always wanted to ask you a question."
"You want to ask if I will interfere, right?"
Cang Yan looked at Ancient Nameless and smiled.
"I don't know."
"Based on my understanding of you, if you say you don't know, there is a high chance that you will interfere. At the very least, you will not be indifferent, nor will you let nature take its course, nor will you resign yourself to fate, right?"
Ancient Nameless looked at Cang Yan for a long time before replying, "Not necessarily."
"If you interfere with the cause of the Nine Palaces, what will the consequences be?"
"Everything has a cause and an effect. In a desolate black hole where karma is so chaotic, planting a good cause may not lead to a good outcome. It may also lead to a bad outcome."
Cang Yan understood what Ancient Nameless meant. If Ancient Nameless won this battle, even if Ancient Nameless helped Ancient Nameless win, the consequences might not necessarily be the consequences of Ancient Nameless' actions …
