Previously, Emperor Fusheng was tested by a group of mysterious incarnations.
The Peacock Emperor was also tempted by a group of mysterious incarnations.
and.
This is not the first time that the two of them have been tempted since they entered the Ancient Nine Palaces.
Who is testing them and what is the purpose of the testing? Emperor Fusheng knows it, and so does the Peacock Emperor.
actually.
Regardless of whether it is the Fusheng Emperor or the Peacock Emperor, with their current cultivation strength, no one can find them if they want to hide and hibernate in the dark.
But neither of them did it.
Because they know very well in their hearts that even if they can hide for a while, they cannot hide forever. What should come will eventually come. Blindly hiding cannot solve the fundamental problem.
They even knew that the previous temptation was not a temptation at all, at best it was just a move made by those great masters.
It's not so much a temptation, but more like a knock on the mountain to shock the tiger. What shocks is behind the great road of heaven and earth, behind the cause and effect of fate, and even behind the fate of these two people.
The real testing has not yet begun.
But it's already fast.
Emperor Fusheng could feel this, and so could Emperor Peacock.
"hehe."
Inexplicable.
The Peacock Emperor suddenly smiled. He looked at the chaotic void of Qian Palace and said with a slight smile: "A touch of light of original sin caused countless incarnations of original sin to swarm in like moths to a flame. A flower of original sin.
It drove countless people of original sin completely crazy, and a spirit of original sin also made the ancestor of original sin dormant in the darkness unable to bear it and surfaced."
"They have been waiting for this day for too long, and now they are getting impatient. They put all their money on the Ancient Nine Palaces, and put all their hopes on the era of innocence. They don't want to lose, and they also lose.
I'm sorry."
"The existence that yearns for the era of innocence is like this, and those who protect the great road of heaven and earth are not the same?"
Shaking his head slightly, the Peacock Emperor continued: "The existences who yearn for the era of innocence have been waiting for this day for as long as the existences guarding the great road of heaven and earth have been waiting. They have invested everything in the Nine Palaces of the Ancients, and they have also invested everything in the Ancient Nine Palaces.
Ninth Palace, they all place their hopes on the future."
"The only difference is that some place their hopes on the future era of innocence, while others place their hopes on the future of the great avenue of heaven and earth."
“Some people place their hopes on the Daoless Age and on the Great Way of Heaven and Earth at the same time.”
"Others place their hopes on the era of innocence and the great avenue of heaven and earth..."
"only……"
"No one knows which one is the real future."
"This is a gamble, an eternal gamble. What you are betting on is neither the era of innocence nor the great road of heaven and earth, but the fate of the future, the fate of the future!"
"This bet should have been decided as early as the ancient times..."
"It's just...it's late."
"It has been late from ancient times to modern times."
When Emperor Peacock said these words, his tone was always very calm, as if he was talking about a very common thing, as if he was talking to himself, and as if he was talking to Emperor Fusheng.
After saying that, he closed his eyes, shook his head, and smiled, a little helpless, a little self-deprecating, and a little sarcastic.
Emperor Fusheng stood on a mountain peak in the ancient ruins from beginning to end, looking at the chaotic void of Qian Palace and paying no attention to it.
After a while.
The Peacock Emperor opened his eyes, slowly exhaled, and asked softly: "What about you, don't you want to take a gamble?"
Although Emperor Peacock didn't say what he was betting on, it didn't mean that Emperor Fusheng didn't know.
on the contrary.
Emperor Fusheng knew very well what Emperor Peacock meant by taking a gamble.
Just as Emperor Maurya said just now, what we are betting on is neither the age of innocence nor the great road of heaven and earth, but the destiny of the future, the destiny of the future.
Emperor Fusheng replied lightly: "You have already asked me this question."
"But you didn't answer last time, right?"
really.
Emperor Peacock asked Emperor Fusheng this question last time, but Emperor Fusheng didn't answer, and he still didn't answer this time.
"Are you not willing to gamble, still dare not gamble, or still can't afford to lose?"
The Peacock Emperor kept asking.
Emperor Fusheng remained motionless and did not respond.
"hehe!"
The Peacock Emperor smiled.
This time his smile was a bit intriguing, and he said: "I may not know whether you want to bet, but I know you must dare to bet, but... you may not be able to afford to lose, right?"
silence.
Emperor Fusheng remained silent.
"ha!"
The Peacock Emperor smiled again.
The smile this time was more of a lost smile, and he said: "It seems that you still can't let go of the word love after all."
I don’t know if the words of Emperor Peacock reached the heart of Emperor Fusheng. Emperor Fusheng, who was originally silent and calm, closed his eyes silently for some reason.
What is love.
Family affection is love.
Friendship is also love.
Love is even more love.
Even if Emperor Fusheng didn't want to, he still had to admit that what Emperor Peacock said was true.
He is indeed trapped by love.
It's not only friendship, but also love, and even more family affection.
It's not that he doesn't know that it's because of the word "love" that he can't understand the true meaning of Hunyuan.
He also knew that because of the word love, he had to give up many things, and there were many things he wanted to do but could not do.
He knows.
Always knew it, knew it better than anyone else.
He can be ruthless and forgetful.
Ignore all feelings.
Forget the word love.
Yes.
He can.
Not only is it possible, he has done this in his previous life, and he is also cold-blooded and ruthless.
He thinks that as long as he ignores all feelings and forgets all feelings, he can transcend the word of love.
It wasn't until he awakened from his previous life that he realized that ruthlessness is ruthlessness, forgetfulness is forgetfulness, ruthlessness does not mean detachment, and forgetfulness does not mean detachment.
The more ruthless, the more you care, the more forgetful, the more you care, and the deeper the word of love sinks.
If you want to transcend the word love, you can only see through it.
However.
The Fusheng Emperor in his previous life couldn't see through the word love, and he still can't see through the word love in this life.
He couldn't see through it and couldn't do it. Instead, he fell deeper and deeper into the word love.
The deeper you sink, the harder it is to let go, the harder it is to let go, and the harder it is to see through it, and the harder it is to see through it, the harder it is to transcend.
If possible, he would also like to risk all his money to gamble on the future and his future destiny.
Even though he was destined to be doomed by Shang Cheng's true destiny, he still wanted to disobey fate, and even wanted to obliterate fate. Or it should be said that precisely because he was destined to be doomed by Shang Cheng's true fate, he wanted to obliterate fate even more.
The reason is simple.
He could not control his past life's destiny, and he still cannot control his current life's destiny.
He didn't want to be unable to control his destiny in the next life.
All this is cause and effect.
The Emperor of Fusheng is like falling into an abyss of cause and effect, or even more like falling into a sea of suffering. He is sinking deeper and deeper, taking every wrong step, and even if he turns back, he will never reach the end.
He really wants to cut off cause and effect and control his own destiny.
pity.
He cannot cut off his own cause and effect, nor can he control his own destiny.
He tried.
Many times.
The result is without exception: the more you cut, the more chaotic the cause and effect will be, and the more you cut, the deeper you will fall.
before.
He didn't understand why fate would choose him to be the doomed one, but later he gradually understood.
Precisely because he is sinking deeper and deeper into the abyss of cause and effect, his fate has already been doomed. Even if he is reincarnated a thousand or ten thousand times, it will not change. Cause and effect will only sink deeper, and his fate will only become more doomed.
I don't know how long it took.
He opened his eyes and asked: "Why is your fate determined?"
"I?"
The Peacock Emperor shrugged and said with a smile: "Almost the same as you."
"Is it also trapped by love?"
"ha!"
Hearing Emperor Fusheng's words, Emperor Peacock couldn't help but smile, smiling happily.
"why are you laughing?"
"I'm not as lucky as you. I can be trapped by love. I'm not driven by love, but by obsession."
"A touch of obsession?"
"Yes, a touch of obsession."
"Who is not motivated by a touch of obsession? The source of thousands of causes and effects is obsession, and the continuous separation of cause and effect is also due to obsession. If there was no original obsession, how could the cause and effect not be continued, and how could fate be destined?"
The Peacock Emperor nodded and said: "It is true. You are trapped by love, which is also a trace of obsession. However, compared with your obsession, my obsession seems too naive and too stupid. At least, I think so."
Hear the words.
Emperor Fusheng couldn't help but think of the legend about Peacock Emperor. According to legend, Peacock Emperor's previous life was King Peacock Ming. At that time, King Peacock Ming sacrificed his life and entered reincarnation. He went through endless reincarnations and traveled the three thousand avenues, not for the true Buddha or for the pursuit of peace.
The Great Dao is only for saving sentient beings.
Thinking of this, Emperor Fusheng seemed to understand what the so-called obsession of Emperor Peacock was.
He also smiled and said: "If the obsession of saving all sentient beings is considered childish and stupid in your eyes, then what does my obsession of being trapped by love mean?"
"ha!"
The Peacock Emperor smiled and said: "That's just a rumor, it can't be taken as true."
Emperor Fusheng said nothing more, waiting for the next words.
"When I sacrificed myself to enter reincarnation and traveled through the three thousand avenues, it was really not for seeking the true Buddha or the great avenue. As for saving sentient beings... hahaha!" Speaking of this, the Peacock Emperor's expression became particularly complicated.
A little embarrassed, a little helpless, and a little bit angry.
"I'm sorry to disappoint you. When I sacrificed myself to enter reincarnation, it was not at all to save sentient beings. I am not that great or noble. I sacrificed myself to enter reincarnation just to save myself."
"Save yourself? How?"
The Peacock Emperor asked back: "It's the same as when you saved yourself."
then.
In order to cut off the thread of love and cut off the cause and effect, Emperor Fusheng went through reincarnations again and again, but the result was that the thread of love was not cut off, and the cause and effect got deeper and deeper.
same.
In order to save himself, the Peacock Emperor also chose to reincarnate again and again. In the end, not only did he fail to save himself, but he fell deeper and deeper into it.
Emperor Fusheng cut off the cause and effect, and cut himself into a doomed fate in this and ancient times.
In order to save himself, the Peacock Emperor forcibly saved himself into a doomed fate in this and ancient times.
"So I said that we two share the same disease. You cut off your love to save yourself, and I cut off my obsession to save myself. The rescue comes and goes, and in the end, we have both saved ourselves into the fate of the disaster, hahahahahaha!
"
After the words fell, the Peacock Emperor raised his head and laughed loudly.
