Chapter 6316: The Origin of the Old Fortune Teller
"Me? Haha, I should be the last chosen one."
The old fortune teller looked at Xiao Chen and smiled.
"The last chosen one?"
Xiao Chen was stunned for a moment, then he reacted.
"Has the Heavenly Dao consciousness influenced you?"
"No, to be more precise, I am the Way of Heaven."
The old fortune teller shook his head.
"What? You...Tian Dao?"
Hearing this, Xiao Chen stood up in shock.
This truth was like a thunderclap in his heart, making him unable to remain calm any longer.
He had many speculations about the old fortune teller's identity, and even suspected that he was one of the Three Emperors who had come back to life.
But the way of heaven... he really didn't dare to think about it!
"Haha, are you surprised? Sit down and talk."
The old fortune teller was not surprised by Xiao Chen's reaction.
"You...you are really the way of heaven?"
Xiao Chen looked at the old fortune teller and slowly sat down, still unable to remain calm.
"That's not right. When I was building my foundation at Kunlun Xu Shenpin, weren't you fighting against the Heavenly Dao? If you were the Heavenly Dao, how would you explain it? You were fighting against yourself?"
"..."
The old fortune teller is speechless. He is fighting against himself. What does that mean?
"Or, why don't you act for me?"
Xiao Chen said again.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Do you think I should put on a show for you?"
The old fortune teller rolled his eyes.
"Actually, to be precise, I am part of the Way of Heaven..."
"Part? Which part are you?"
Xiao Chen was curious.
"…Why is this so awkward?"
The old fortune teller rolled his eyes again.
"I just told you that the Way of Heaven is ruthless, right? In fact, humans do have an impact on the Way of Heaven, such as the seven emotions and six desires, etc...."
"Seven emotions and six desires? Damn it, I get it!"
Xiao Chen thought of something and his eyes widened.
"Hmm? What do you know now?"
The old fortune teller is strange.
"Are you the lust of heaven?"
Xiao Chen asked.
puff.
The old fortune teller, who had just taken a sip of tea, sprayed it out.
He glared at Xiao Chen and almost stood up and slapped the little bastard to death!
"Isn't it? Judging from the fact that you found several grandmas for me... you are quite lustful, so you are the embodiment of lust, right?"
Xiao Chen smiled.
"Get lost...you are the embodiment of lust."
The old fortune teller was angry.
"Besides, among the seven emotions and six desires, is there lust?"
"Then what are you?"
“It’s something close to human emotions.”
The old fortune teller thought for a while and said.
"I thought there was a personification of justice, and then there was also a personification of evil."
Xiao Chen poured tea for the old fortune teller and said.
"I said, the way of heaven cannot be judged as good or bad. It should be emotionless and fair... Unfortunately, it has consciousness and wisdom, so it is affected by humans."
The old fortune teller said slowly.
"I just said that the Heavenly Dao was split, and I am one of the parts that split off... So, I am the Heavenly Dao, but I am not the Heavenly Dao."
"I understand. The Way of Heaven is like a piece of pure white jade, but later it was polluted..."
"almost."
"And you are the polluted impurities, and then you were cut out by it..."
"..."
The old fortune teller stared at Xiao Chen with murderous intent.
"Well, I'm just making an analogy."
Xiao Chen coughed dryly.
"Is there any analogy like that?"
The old fortune teller was angry.
"In short, I am a part of the Way of Heaven, and later I became an independent individual."
"Well, what next?"
"Although we are two separate individuals now, our mission is still the same, which is to destroy the demons from outside the domain... Later, the Heavenly Dao fell into slumber, and I continued to reincarnate, living life after life, to carry out various arrangements."
The old fortune teller sighed.
"I thought it could be resolved soon, but it has been delayed until today..."
"Now that the Heavenly Dao has fully awakened, it won't want to take you back, or... make you disappear, right?"
Xiao Chen suddenly thought of something and became much more serious.
"What you said before was because of the way of heaven?"
"Yes."
The old fortune teller nodded.
"Don't worry. Now that I'm back, there's nothing wrong... Before I came back, I went to Kunlun Xu to negotiate with the Heavenly Dao. I am me and it is it... My existence is very necessary."
"call……"
Hearing what the old fortune teller said, Xiao Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
"How did you discuss this? Did you overturn the table with it?"
"When you were building your divine foundation, it hadn't fully awakened yet, and I still had the confidence to overturn the table. But now... it's gone."
The old fortune teller was a little helpless.
"If I could flip the table, would I say that to you?"
"...You're not going to give in to it, are you?"
Xiao Chen looked at the old fortune teller.
"But it's okay. It's not shameful to bow your head and admit defeat or even beg for mercy. After all, it's the way of heaven, it's God...it's the greatest."
"That's not the case. Once it wakes up, it will be affected by humans again... and my existence can prevent it from being affected."
The old fortune teller shook his head.
"These... how should I put it? As for the 'impurities' you mentioned, I can bear them completely. It is still the ruthless Heavenly Dao, which can be impartial and selfless, representing the most fundamental rules of the heaven and earth. It will not have personal preferences, nor will it have seven emotions and six desires! In fact, this is the Heavenly Dao that this world needs. Otherwise... one day, it will become a disaster!"
"You are...a trash can?"
Xiao Chen hesitated.
"...What's wrong with you today? Why are you talking so unpleasantly?"
The old fortune teller was furious.
"It's not just the negative things you think, understand? Just like what you said about justice and benevolence, it is also a burden to the Heavenly Dao..."
"Yes, yes, you represent justice and benevolence."
Xiao Chen said hurriedly, fearing that the old fortune teller would attack him.
"Old fortune teller, you have lived through so many lives. What plans have you made?"
"Many of the so-called 'chosen ones' were supported by me."
The old fortune teller said slowly.
"Including behind the Three Emperors, I am actually also there...but, most of the time, I am not directly involved."
"Then what am I? I'm not your only one? Do you have many grandchildren?"
Xiao Chen covered his heart with his hands, looking very hurt.
"Stop being a drama queen... You are my only grandson in this life."
The old fortune teller was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
"Besides, I also had a lot of problems before. After reincarnation after reincarnation, I finally got rid of some of the negative things and slowly became more like a human being."
"So are you a human?"
Xiao Chen asked a soul-searching question.
"Aren't you talking nonsense? I'm sure it is."
The old fortune teller felt somewhat helpless after he finished speaking.
"This life... is too weak. It is really too weak."
"..."
Xiao Chen felt... insulted.
-
Maybe some of you have noticed something in the last chapter. Well, here comes the ending. I have said it several times... This time it is true~
All good things must come to an end, and it’s almost time to end.
I have a lot to say, but I feel like it would be pretentious if I say too much. Plus, with the updates to come, I don’t have the face to say more.
So... try your best to finish it, and we can talk about it again when the book is finished.
