There was also the Old Fiend of Black Mountain and Old Devil Green Lamp. One was an overlord of the Demonic Dao, while the other was an overlord of the Ghost Dao.
These two overlords had been plotting against the True Lord of Original Sin for a long time. Although they were not the variables of the present, they had been painstakingly operating since the Primordial Era until now. The depth of the Original Sin in their bodies was absolutely unimaginable. It was unknown how many schemes they had set up behind the scenes, so their chances of becoming the True Lord of Original Sin were not small.
These existences had great hopes of becoming the True Lord of Original Sin. Not only did they have many experts under them, but they also had the support of various Patriarchs.
However.
Mad Monk Daxing was certain that they were not the only ones who had hopes of becoming the True Lord of Original Sin. There must be other variables of the present and the Patriarchs of Original Sin lurking in the shadows.
For example, previously in the Kan Palace, there was a Patriarch of Original Sin who had appeared and shrouded the void with Original Sin.
Who knew how many Patriarchs of Original Sin like him were lurking in the shadows, plotting against the True Lord of Original Sin.
There might even be variables who had a greater chance of becoming the True Lord of Original Sin than Gu Qingfeng who were lurking in the shadows and had yet to appear.
It wasn't impossible.
Variables were variables. Karma was chaotic, and fate was unknown. Even the Messenger of Karma, known as the Messenger of Fate, did not know of its existence.
They might have been lurking in the shadows, waiting for an important opportunity.
If that was the case, it would be too crazy.
One had to know that all the Great Dao experts in the heavens and the earth were watching and guarding against Gu Qingfeng.
However, if there was someone lurking in the shadows who had a greater chance of becoming the True Lord of Original Sin than Gu Qingfeng, then they would appear and unexpectedly become the True Lord of Original Sin. Perhaps the True Lord of Original Sin recorded in the Book of Destiny was not Gu Qingfeng at all. Regardless of whether they were guardians of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth or plotting against the True Lord of Original Sin, they would probably collapse.
This included those who had pinned their hopes on Gu Qingfeng.
These beings could be roughly divided into three categories.
The first type was the existence that yearned for the Daoless Era. They placed their hopes on Gu Qingfeng purely because they wanted to enter the Daoless Era. As for whether Gu Qingfeng opened the Daoless Era or not, it didn't matter to them. As long as someone opened the Daoless Era, they would be happy. Even if the Original Sin God who opened the Daoless Era ended up killing Gu Qingfeng, they wouldn't care.
For example, the old beggar from the Sinkhole was one of the representatives.
The second type was the existence that Gu Qingfeng placed his hopes on. They also hoped that Gu Qingfeng could become the True Lord of Original Sin and open the Daoless Era.
Unlike the first type, they were more far-sighted. What they hoped for was not as simple as starting the Daoless Era. At the same time, they cared more about the person who started the Daoless Era.
This was because whoever could ascend to the throne of the Original Sin True Lord and start the Daoless Era would become the overlord who would dominate the world in the future.
If the person who ascended to the throne of the Original Sin True Lord didn't want to start the Daoless Era but instead wanted to become the overlord of the world and dominate all living things in the world, then it would be better not to start it.
For example, the Demon Emperor Blood River could represent the second type of existence. This was the reason why he had pinned his hopes on Gu Qingfeng. He didn't think that Gu Qingfeng was the True Lord of Original Sin recorded in the Book of Destiny. Instead, he thought highly of Gu Qingfeng's character. He knew that Gu Qingfeng didn't ascend to the throne of the Original Sin True Lord to become the overlord of the world and dominate all living things in the world.
Otherwise, given Demon Emperor Blood River's proud and aloof personality, he would never have secretly observed Gu Qingfeng for so long.
The third type of existence that Gu Qingfeng placed his hopes on was not betting on whether or not Gu Qingfeng could ascend to the throne of the Original Sin. In truth, even if the person who ascended to the throne of the True Lord of Original Sin and started the Daoless Era was not Gu Qingfeng, they still didn't care. This was because they were betting on Gu Qingfeng for the Original Sin, the Daoless Era, and even the meaning behind destiny. In other words, they were betting on the future.
For example, the Frenzied Monk Grand Strider, the Lady of Black Water, the Queen Witch, and Ancient Nameless were all like this.
… …
As the Frenzied Monk Grand Strider followed Gu Qingfeng deeper into the void of the Li Palace, he would occasionally chat with him. His various avatars were also scurrying around the other Nine Palaces.
Perhaps it was because the two of them had already entered the depths of the Li Palace, or perhaps it was because both the heavens above and the earth below knew that Gu Qingfeng's existence was not to be trifled with, or perhaps it was because not too long ago, Gu Qingfeng had transformed into a terrifying existence outside the Great Dao and slaughtered the avatars of many experts of the Great Dao.
As a result, although the Li Palace was constantly surging with undercurrents, they were only undercurrents. They did not surface, and everything appeared calm and peaceful.
On the other hand, the other Nine Palaces were truly bustling with activity.
Avatars of Original Sin were surfacing from the shadows, searching for the Light of Original Sin, the Flower of Original Sin, the Essence of Original Sin, and the opportunity for Original Sin to appear.
Of course.
Unable to find the Light of Original Sin, some of the avatars of Original Sin began to target the avatars of Original Sin that had lost their sense of self.
Ever since the Nine Palaces had been born in the ancient black hole, many avatars of Original Sin that had lost their sense of self had emerged from the Nine Palaces.
These avatars of Original Sin that had lost their sense of self were like Original Sin Puppets. They were attracted by the Aura of Original Sin in the Nine Palaces and began to wander around the Nine Palaces like wandering ghosts, rushing to wherever the Aura of Original Sin was strongest.
A few experts of Original Sin used this chance to devour these avatars of Original Sin that had lost their sense of self.
Although devouring these avatars of Original Sin would not deepen one's own Original Sin, there were simply too many of them.
Everyone understood the simple principle that a quantitative change would lead to a qualitative change.
No matter how small a mosquito was, it was still meat.
Before the opportunity for Original Sin appeared, one had to deepen one's Original Sin as much as possible.
The deeper one's Original Sin was, the greater one's chances of becoming the true Lord of Original Sin.
Even if one did not become the true Lord of Original Sin in the end, no one knew if the deeper one's Original Sin would have a unique advantage after the Daoless Era began. However, it would definitely not be a bad thing.
Frenzied Monk Daxing took a look. Most of the avatars of Original Sin that had lost their sense of self in the Nine Palaces were unorthodox Original Sin Avatars. There were even quite a few Afterlife Original Sin Avatars that had been possessed. He pondered over these unorthodox Original Sin Avatars. They were either secretly nurtured by the various powerhouses of the Blessed Enclave, or they were Original Sinners under some Great Dao Overlords.
The experts who were truly plotting to become the true Lord of Original Sin did not even bother to devour these avatars of Original Sin that had lost their sense of self. Or rather, it should be said that these avatars of Original Sin that had lost their sense of self were beneath them.
Each of their Original Sins were deep. To them, devouring these avatars of Original Sin that had lost their sense of self would not deepen their Original Sins by much. They were dispensable and almost negligible.
While they were searching for the Light of Original Sin, they were not idling around. Instead, they were eyeing the unorthodox Original Sin Avatars.
The unorthodox Original Sin Avatars would devour the avatars of Original Sin that had lost their sense of self.
When they were devouring the avatars, the wily old Original Sin would devour them.
This was akin to a big fish eating a small fish, a small fish eating shrimps, or a mantis stalking a cicada unaware of the oriole behind.
It was really lively.
Looking around, each of the Ancient Desolate Nine Palaces was livelier than the last. There were Original Sin Avatars everywhere. They seemed to have gone crazy. In order to deepen their Original Sins, each of them began to devour anything.
Some of the wily old Original Sin Avatars even fought in order to devour the Original Sin Avatars. They were not only eyeing the unorthodox Original Sin Avatars, but they were also eyeing each other. Some of the wily old Original Sin Avatars even secretly sat on the mountain and watched the tigers fight, reaping the benefits while they were at it.
If the avatars of Original Sin that had lost their sense of self were like mosquito meat to them, then the Original Sin Avatars were like chicken to them. As for the wily old Original Sin Avatars, they were like elephant meat to each other. After devouring them, they would definitely deepen their Original Sins.
However.
The liveliness that happened in the Ancient Desolate Nine Palaces was far from just this.
Not long ago, one of the Ancient Desolate Nine Palaces, the Thunder Palace, had a commotion that caused a sensation.
Moreover, it was a commotion related to the Never-Ending Demon Emperor, Ren Tianxing.
The cause was that someone said that Ren Tianxing had found a Flower of Original Sin in a Desolate Ancient Ruin.
Whether this was true or a trap set up by someone behind Ren Tianxing's back, Crazy Monk Daxing was not too sure.
He felt that if this was really a trap set up by someone for Ren Tianxing, then the person who set up the trap had obviously achieved his goal.
Ren Tianxing was besieged by a large number of Original Sin Avatars in the Thunder Palace.
If the goal of the person who set up the trap was to lure out the Original Sin Avatars that were hibernating in the dark, then he had achieved his goal.
Among the Original Sin Avatars that besieged Ren Tianxing, there might be some that had not been corrupted for long, but there were also old Original Sin Avatars that had been corrupted for many years. There were even wily old Original Sin Avatars that had wandered in the Desolate Ruins and came out of the Ultimate.
If the goal of the person who set up the trap was to test the depth of Ren Tianxing, the variable of the Original Sin, then he had achieved his goal.
When he was besieged by a large number of Original Sin Avatars, Ren Tianxing released two Demonic Consciousnesses.
One of them was Nailuo Hou.
The second was Ji Du.
Whether it was Nailuo Hou or Ji Du, they were famous fiends in the Primordial Era. Every time they appeared, it was like a disaster had descended. It was either rivers of blood or white bones. Their dark and evil reputation was comparable to Gu Qingfeng's Avici Infernal Asura, which could go anywhere, including the Blood Taotie that could devour the heavens and devour the earth. They were also dark and evil overlords in the Primordial Era that caused the 3,000 Great Daos to tremble in fear.
If the goal of the person who set up the trap was not only to test Ren Tianxing's depth, but also to lure out many existences that secretly supported Ren Tianxing and hoped that he would become the Original Sin True Lord, then he had succeeded.
When Ren Tianxing was besieged by various Original Sin Avatars, the existences that supported him from the dark also came to the surface.
If the person who set up the trap wanted to use this opportunity to kill Ren Tianxing, then his goal had failed.
This was because the Original Sin Avatars that besieged him did not manage to kill Ren Tianxing in the end. Instead, after Ren Tianxing released the two fiends, Nailuo Hou and Jealousy, they fled in all directions. Many of the Original Sin Avatars were also annihilated.
