"Changfeng, there's actually something I've been hiding in my heart for a very long time. I just don't know if I should tell you."
Emperor Changfeng was very confused when he saw how serious Immortal King Thousand Leaves was. He also felt that it was a little strange. He had never kept any secrets from Immortal King Thousand Leaves. They would say whatever they wanted to say. They would not hide anything from each other.
Emperor Changfeng really could not think of anything that Immortal King Thousand Leaves was hiding in his heart. Immortal King Thousand Leaves was even hesitant to tell him.
"Ye 'er, what is it?"
Immortal King Thousand Leaves broke free from Emperor Changfeng's embrace. He frowned deeply and seemed to be very hesitant. After a moment of thought, he shook his head and said, "I don't know if it's right or wrong for you to be so stubborn about protecting the great dao of the world."
Even though Emperor Changfeng was mentally prepared and knew that Thousand Leaf Immortal King was hiding something important, he never thought that the secret hidden in Thousand Leaf Immortal King's heart would be this.
What was protecting the world? Was it right or wrong?
Was there even a need to ask?
Protecting the great dao of the world was definitely right.
"Ye 'er, what's wrong? Why are you suddenly so confused?"
"You think protecting the world is right?"
"Isn't that right?"
"Why do you think it's right?" Immortal King Thousand Leaves asked, "Is it because you're an Immortal Dao Emperor who has inherited the will of heaven, or is it because you're destined to inherit the will of heaven? Or is it because you're young master Qing Tian who has inherited the name of Qing Tian? Protecting the great dao of the world is your duty and obligation, right? "
"This …"
Emperor Changfeng's face sank, "Ye 'er, you know that even if I, Gu Changfeng, did not inherit the will of heaven or the will of heaven, I would still protect the great dao of the world without any hesitation."
"Why?"
"Ye 'er, what's wrong? Why are you suddenly so strange? "
Immortal King Thousand Leaves asked, "Just answer me. Why?"
"The reason is very simple. Heaven and earth are our heaven and earth, and the Great Dao is our Great Dao. Our family, our friends, our everything, including the beautiful memories of our acquaintance and love, are all in the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. If heaven and earth are our home, then the Great Dao is our parents. Now that our home and parents are facing a catastrophe, shouldn't we protect them?"
"Do you think that after the Daoless Era begins, Heaven and Earth will no longer be Heaven and Earth, the Great Dao will no longer be the Great Dao, and our family and friends will all die?"
"According to the Book of Destiny, when the Original Sin finds its true master, the Great Dao will fall, the Heavens and Earth will be reborn, the present and ancient times will end, and the Daoless Era will begin …"
The beautiful eyes of the Thousand Leaves Immortal King were filled with bewilderment and hesitation. She continued, "It's only the fall of the Great Dao and the rebirth of the heavens and earth. The end of the Great Dao doesn't mean that it won't recover. The rebirth of the heavens and earth doesn't mean that it will be destroyed. The end of the Great Dao doesn't mean that a new era won't begin."
After pausing for a moment, the Thousand Leaves Immortal King continued, "During the Desolate Era, the Great Dao fell, the heavens and earth were reborn, and the era ended. But so what? The heavens and earth are still the heavens and earth, the Great Dao is still the Great Dao, and the era is still the same. The only difference is that the Desolate Era became the Immemorial Era. That's all."
Although Emperor Changfeng didn't understand what the Thousand Leaves Immortal King was saying, he was certain of one thing. The Thousand Leaves Immortal King definitely wouldn't say such things for no reason.
The Thousand Leaves Immortal King's identity wasn't as simple as being a Monarch of the Immortal Dao.
She was a disciple of the Profound Mountain.
The Profound Mountain, Black Mountain, and Kunlun Mountain were all forbidden grounds of the world. They had a very long history and knew many secrets of the world.
"Ye'er, you know that I'm not very bright, and there are some things that I don't understand. Just tell me what you want to say."
"I don't know what I want to say either. I just …"
The Thousand Leaves Immortal King shook her head and said, "I'm becoming more and more confused and hesitant.
"Confused about what? What are you hesitating about? "
"Confused about whether it's right or wrong to protect the Great Dao of the world. Or should I say that we should believe in fate or not? To be exact … should we follow the will of the heavens or go against it?"
"Ah!"
Emperor Changfeng was shocked. Just as he was about to speak, the Thousand Leaves Immortal King turned around and stared at him, asking, "If … I'm saying if … if you have the chance to control your own fate, what would you do?"
"Control my own fate?"
Emperor Changfeng scratched his head and frowned, saying, "This … I've never thought about it."
Indeed.
Emperor Changfeng was a simple-minded person. He had always been like this. In this life, other than fighting, he didn't have any other hobbies. Up until now, he was either cultivating or fighting.
Other people cultivated to understand the mysteries of the world, to comprehend the Great Dao, to become a True Emperor, or to become a God or Saint. However, Emperor Changfeng's goal was very simple. It was to fight.
Of course, other than fighting, it was also to better protect his beloved woman, family, and friends.
Other than that, there was nothing else.
As for karma and fate.
Emperor Changfeng had never thought about it.
To him, karma was very complicated and far away. Fate was even more sacred and inviolable.
"You haven't answered my question. If you have the chance, do you want to control your own fate?"
"Ye'er, I've really never thought about it."
"It's fine if you haven't thought about it before. What about now? It's not too late to think about it. Answer me, if you have the chance, do you want to control your own fate?"
"This … this …"
Emperor Changfeng was scratching his head and pacing back and forth. His brain was not strong enough to think about something as mysterious as fate. It was known as the most mysterious existence in the world.
He thought for a long time, but he still couldn't figure it out. He replied helplessly, "Ye'er, I've really never thought about it. I don't know how to answer you."
"You're really …" The Thousand Leaves Immortal King pointed at Emperor Changfeng and said helplessly and angrily, "I wasn't sure before, but now I finally understand why the Heaven's Will chose you. The True Will chose you. The Clear Will also chose you."
Emperor Changfeng asked very seriously, "Why?"
"Why? Why else? Because you're simple-minded! If you are given the Heaven's Will, then you will work for the Heaven's Will. If you are given the True Fate, then you will work for the True Fate. If you are given the name Qing Tian, then you will work for the justice of Qing Tian. To put it bluntly, whatever fate wants you to do, then you will willingly do it. "
"What do you mean by working for it? Ye'er, don't you think that's a bit too harsh? I've told you before, I protect the grand dao not for the Heaven's Will or True Fate, nor for the sake of justice. I definitely won't do whatever fate wants me to do. I protect the grand dao for our own sake."
