The three of them raised their cups and promised that they would drink to their heart's content after the Desolate Ancient Black Hole. They would not stop until they were drunk!
However.
The three of them knew that this promise would be difficult to fulfill.
Because none of them had the confidence to leave the Desolate Ancient Black Hole alive.
Mo Wen Tian did not, Ren Tianxing did not, and Gu Qingfeng did not either.
But they still raised their cups and made the promise.
It was a promise.
It was more like a blessing, a farewell.
Mo Wen Tian left.
Ren Tianxing left too.
No one knew if they would live or die after they left.
Only Gu Qingfeng did not leave. He just stood there in the Desolate Ancient Black Hole. He held a wine jar in one hand and drank. He looked at Mo Wen Tian and Ren Tianxing who were getting further and further away. He just looked at them.
His long hair that was as black as ink fluttered along with the turbulence.
His white robe that was whiter than snow moved without wind. It was like a reflection swaying.
On Gu Qingfeng's ordinary face, there was a hint of loneliness, a hint of desolation, and endless loneliness.
He drank and drank, cup after cup, jug after jug.
It was like he was sending Mo Wen Tian and Ren Tianxing off.
Even after Mo Wen Tian and Ren Tianxing had completely disappeared into the vast and boundless ancient black hole, he still didn't leave. He only sighed and looked at the endless turbulence.
If he could.
He also wanted to leave.
The problem was, where to?
He did not know.
Ren Tianxing had his own path to walk. Mo Wen Tian also had his own path to walk. But Gu Qingfeng did not.
This was also the reason why he envied Ren Tianxing and Mo Wen Tian.
Even though the path they were walking was full of danger and uncertainty, at least they knew what they wanted and what they should do.
As for Gu Qingfeng.
He did not even know what he wanted.
It was like a wandering ghost that had no consciousness and no thoughts, wandering everywhere.
Could it be that he really liked to live like this?
Gu Qingfeng could not help but question his own heart.
What exactly did he want?
To seek karma?
To change fate?
To become the Lord of Original Sin?
No!
He didn't want any of these.
It wasn't that he didn't want it, but he didn't have such a strong desire. He felt that although he couldn't be said to be free and carefree now, at least he could make do with living. He didn't want to and was too lazy to blindly torment himself.
After thinking about it, Gu Qingfeng really didn't know what he wanted.
Or was it really as Mo Wen Tian had said, that his state of mind might have already disregarded everything and had cultivated the Great Path?
Is that possible?
I don't know.
In any case, Gu Qingfeng himself did not feel anything.
After pondering for a long time, she thought that she might really like to live like a lonely ghost.
"Alas!"
After gulping down the entire jar of wine, Gu Qingfeng sighed again.
Perhaps it was because after Mo Wen Tian and Ren Tianxing left, he really felt a little lonely. He kept drinking and sighing.
Inexplicably.
He recalled what Mo Wentian had said before.
Mo Wentian said that he suspected that he might be someone else's incarnation.
To tell the truth.
Gu Qingfeng also had his suspicions.
However.
He didn't suspect that he might be someone else's incarnation, but he suspected that the entire original sin and all the original sinners might be incarnations of the original sin's true lord.
Think about it.
In order to become the Lord of Original Sin, all the original sinners went from the incarnation of original sin to the Sambhogakaya, then the Nirmanakaya, and finally the Original Sin Dharmakaya.
When the incarnation of original sin was like a crazy demon, one's self-awareness began to blur. This was a sign of losing oneself.
When it came to the Sambhogakaya, one's self-awareness was basically lost. This was a sign of losing one's self.
When it came to the Nirmanakaya, one's self-awareness was almost completely lost. They completely became the original sin's puppet. This was a sign of losing one's self.
If a new self-awareness could be born, then it would be the Original Sin Dharmakaya. If a new self-awareness could not be born, then one would forever be the original sin's puppet.
The scary thing was that the newly born self-awareness was born from the original sin. In other words, one had already lost one's self and self. Even if the newly born self-awareness still belonged to one, one's new self was already the original sin and was no longer oneself.
From this point of view, the deeper one fell into the original sin, the deeper one would lose one's self. If one fell into the Original Sin Dharmakaya, it was equivalent to completely losing one's self.
Gu Qingfeng didn't know if his guess was correct, but he hoped it was wrong.
If that was the case, then it would be meaningless for an existence like Mo Wentian, who was already the incarnation of original sin, to search for the true self. Think about it, after becoming the Original Sin Dharmakaya, one would lose one's self. How would one find the true self? Even if one found the true self, it would be the original sin's true self and not his.
What was the original sin's true self?
Four words immediately appeared in Gu Qingfeng's mind. The Original Sin Dharmakaya.
It was the Original Sin Dharmakaya again!
It seemed that whether it was searching for karma or changing one's fate, one couldn't avoid the Original Sin Dharmakaya.
If Ren Tianxing wanted to get rid of the original sin, he had to seek the Original Sin.
If Mo Wentian wanted to search for the true self, he had to seek the Original Sin Dharmakaya as well.
Gu Qingfeng had always thought that the two of them were walking on different paths. Only now did he understand that Ren Tianxing and Mo Wentian were probably walking on the same path. Or rather, it should be said that their paths had the same end.
"It's all fate …"
In the past, Gu Qingfeng had never believed in the word fate.
After living for so long, he increasingly felt that fate might really be predestined by the heavens.
He stood up, stretched his waist, shook his sleeves, cracked his neck, and moved his limbs. Then, he took a step and flew towards the Ancient Desolate Nine Palaces.
Although he wasn't interested in searching for karma or changing fate, nor did he want to seek the Original Sin Dharmakaya, he couldn't just sit here and drink. His life was already boring enough. If he continued to be so boring, he was afraid that he would really become a lonely ghost without any consciousness.
Gu Qingfeng thought that since he had nothing to do, he might as well find some fun. In any case, he couldn't leave this place, and he couldn't run away either. Whether or not he could survive the Ancient Desolate Black Hole was still unknown. Since that was the case, he might as well find some fun.
He had to have fun as long as he lived. This had always been his motto.
The Ancient Desolate Nine Palaces were like nine huge whirlpools that slowly rotated, swallowing all kinds of turbulence.
They looked like nine heavenly pillars that pierced through heaven and earth. They were also like nine solitary peaks that held up the sky. They were even more like nine divine statues that seemed to be guarding the Ancient Desolate Black Hole.
Mo Wentian said that the appearance of the Ancient Desolate Nine Palaces meant that everything was about to begin.
Everything included karma, fate, original sin, heaven and earth, this great path, and even the truth of the end of the Ancient Desolate Era, the secret of the beginning of the Daoless Era, and the birth of the Original Sin Dharmakaya …
Mo Wentian also said that once the Ancient Desolate Nine Palaces appeared, the Heavens and Earth, the Nine Heavens and Nine Underworlds, the Desolate Ruins, the Returning Ruins, the Holy Lands, the Forbidden Lands, and the Blessed Lands would all appear. Even those existences that had been hibernating in the dark would all surface.
The Ancient Desolate Nine Palaces was both a prelude and a grave.
