In the Li Palace.
Divinity continued to contend with original sin.
Divinity filled the sky, burning the original sin like fire.
The original sin swallowed up the divinity like water.
"Kekekeke! — — "
The Green-robed Ancestor's sinister voice seemed to come from the original sin. "Gentle Wind! Compared to me, you're even more laughable! "
"Oh?" Ancestor Gentle Wind stood in the air, one hand behind his back, the other stroking his white beard. The divine light around him spread like halos. His expression was calm, and his turbid eyes were calm. He said, "How am I laughable?"
"You're willing to be a dog of karma, a slave to fate. Isn't that laughable?"
"Since ancient times, good karma begets good karma, and evil karma begets evil karma. This is the cycle of nature, and karma begets karma. You will reap what you sow. This is fate."
Gentle Wind softly retorted. "No one can dictate our fate. From the very beginning, we've been the ones to dictate our own fate. Since that's the case, how can we be dogs of karma, slaves to fate?"
The Green-robed Ancestor roared, "Absurd! Absurd! Utterly absurd! "
"This isn't absurd, it's the truth. It's just that you don't want or dare to admit it. Without karma, you won't reap what you sow. Good people won't have good karma, and evil people won't have evil retribution. When the time comes, there will be no more peaceful days in the world."
It had to be said.
Gentle Wind's words were very reasonable.
And no one could refute them.
Even the Tiger Immortal and Old Immortal Azurewood, Gu Qingfeng, and the Frenzied Monk Daxing were no exception.
Thinking about it carefully, this was indeed the case. Without the restraints of karma, good people wouldn't have good karma, and evil people wouldn't have evil retribution. The world would fall into chaos, and there would be no morality to speak of. Killing would be as simple as eating, and life would be like grass, at the mercy of others.
"Kekekeke! Gentle Wind, don't say such nonsense to your ancestor! What karma, what fate, they're all bullshit! We are all born equal, so why do we have to abide by this nuisance of karma and destiny? This so-called karma and destiny is nothing more than a cage created by some existences. If we want to break out of this cage, then the only way is to annihilate the Great Dao and open up an era without Dao. If we continue to stay in this cage, then we will forever be a chess piece in the hands of some existences, nothing more than ants! "
Don't say it.
The Green-robed Ancestor's words were not without reason.
Most of the beings who yearned for the Daoless Era also thought so.
Who said that one had to abide by karma and fate?
I don't want to abide by it, can't I?
Furthermore.
Was there a master behind karma and fate?
If there really was someone who could control karma and fate, wouldn't that be equivalent to controlling all living beings in the world?
"Green Robe, you've misunderstood. You've really misunderstood. Since ancient times, there has never been an existence that could dictate karma and fate.
"Kekekeke!"
As Patriarch Gentlewind's voice rang out, the Green-robed Patriarch's laughter grew increasingly deranged. At the same time, as the Green-robed Patriarch laughed, the Original Sins that filled the skies began to explode.
In an instant, a huge head was born from the Original Sins that filled the skies.
This head was distorted and blurry, its hair disheveled and its appearance ferocious. When it was born, it glared at Patriarch Gentlewind and shouted, "You dare say that no existence can dictate karma and fate?"
Patriarch Gentlewind stared at the Green-robed Patriarch's head. His expression did not change at all. He was still very calm as he replied, "I do dare to say that."
"Bullshit! Who doesn't know that the Ancient Ones have always been dictating karma and fate behind the scenes? And you actually have the audacity to say that no existence can dictate karma and fate? Kekekeke! Do you think I'm a three-year-old child? "
"None of us know whether the Ancient Ones exist or not. Even if they exist, we don't know whether they're still alive." Patriarch Gentlewind argued, "Furthermore, even if the Ancient Ones do exist and are still alive, they can't dictate karma and fate."
"Kekekeke! Gentlewind, oh Gentlewind! Do you think I'm a three-year-old child? Or do you think we're all three-year-olds? You might be able to fool those mortals in the secular world with your words, but if you want to fool us, then you're truly foolish! "
"I don't mean to fool you. I'm speaking the truth. If the Ancient Ones could really dictate karma and fate, then there wouldn't be any catastrophes or Original Sins in this world."
"Bullshit! Original Sins exist because of karma errors! The Ancient Ones can't stop them! "
"You said it yourself. The Original Sins exist because of karma errors. The Ancient Ones can't stop them. Think about it, if the Ancient Ones could really dictate karma and fate, how could they not stop karma errors like Original Sins? It's precisely because they can't stop them that they can't dictate karma and fate. "
This time, the Green-robed Patriarch fell silent. The ferocious head that had been born earlier also disappeared.
In the darkness of the void.
The Deranged Monk seemed somewhat confused by the debate between Patriarch Gentlewind and the Green-robed Patriarch. He asked, "Little Guy Gu, do you think Patriarch Gentlewind's words make sense?"
Gu Qingfeng shook his head.
He didn't mean to deny Patriarch Gentlewind's words, but he was also somewhat confused. Thinking about it carefully, Patriarch Gentlewind's words were not without reason, and the Green-robed Patriarch's words could not be said to be wrong.
Original Sins were karma errors.
Whether or not the Ancient Ones could stop them did not completely determine whether or not the Ancient Ones could dictate karma and fate.
After all, even if the Ancient Ones could dictate karma and fate, it was impossible to absolutely guarantee that karma was not wrong. Perhaps it was the Ancient Ones who dictated karma and fate that gave birth to the Original Sins.
Of course.
Or perhaps the Ancient Ones really could not dictate karma and fate, and karma itself made a mistake that gave birth to the Original Sins.
These were all possibilities.
Moreover.
In Gu Qingfeng's view, there was no point in debating whether or not the Ancient Ones could dictate karma and fate.
So what if they could? So what if they could not?
Whether or not the Ancient Ones could dictate karma and fate, the Original Sins had already appeared.
However.
Crazy Monk Daxing did not see it this way. On the contrary, he felt that it was very important for the Green-robed Patriarch and Patriarch Gentlewind to debate whether or not the Ancient Ones could dictate karma and fate.
If the Green-robed Patriarch could prove that the Ancient Ones could dictate karma and fate, then the momentum of the slaughter of the 3,000 Great Dao would be even greater, and more Blessed Enclaves would join in.
If the Ancient Ones could prove that the Ancient Ones could not dictate karma and fate, then the momentum of the protection of the 3,000 Great Dao would be even greater, and the hesitant Blessed Enclaves would also lean towards protecting the 3,000 Great Dao.
Unfortunately.
The Green-robed Patriarch could not prove that the Ancient Ones could dictate karma and fate.
And the Ancient Ones could not absolutely prove that the Ancient Ones could not dictate karma and fate.
The experts hiding in the shadows of the Void were either experts of the Sinkhole or experts of the Blessed Enclaves. If it was not the Original Sins Patriarch, then it was the Great Dao Patriarch. They were all masters who had experienced great storms and waves. Although they would not be easily incited by the words of others, at this juncture, they would more or less be affected.
