#748 - Great maternal love awakens me
“Disciple, would it be possible to let a wisp of their souls enter reincarnation? I can sever their memories of this life, sever their merits and fortune, and let them be ordinary people.”
Star Saintess of the Starry Sky turned to look at Gu Qing, discussing with him.
“Yes!” Gu Qing agreed almost without hesitation.
The three of Tianxu can't beat him now. After becoming ordinary people, they are no longer in the same world.
The three of Tianxu were stunned, never expecting that Star Saintess of the Starry Sky would still be willing to give them a chance of survival in the end.
"You are still you, but reincarnation is not necessary. Being able to walk with my junior sister, I can be considered to have died without regrets."
Gu Jun smiled in relief, and actively released the restraint, allowing the Chaos Treasure Bottle to devour everything of him.
“I don’t need it either.”
Tianxu and Ni Xiao also released the restraints, not wanting to enter reincarnation.
Because they knew very well that if they lost their memories, then they would no longer be themselves. What is the point of being alive or dead?
As for starting over, cultivating from a mortal to a Celestial Emperor, then to a Saint, a Celestial Being, a Dominating God... and finding their original memories.
That's impossible.
In their opinion, origin determines everything. Without fortune, without a cultivation partner, wealth, and a suitable place, it would be difficult to even live.
Instead of suffering alive, it is better to die and be done with all troubles.
“It’s not up to you to decide.”
Gu Qing stretched out his hand to grab a wisp of the three people's souls and handed them to Star Saintess of the Starry Sky.
It was the first time Master had asked him to do something, so he had to do it beautifully.
Let the three of them continue to be mortals and experience tribulation.
Star Saintess of the Starry Sky seemed to have received a hot potato, not knowing what to do for a moment.
She was originally doing it out of kindness, but she didn't expect it to be against the wishes of the three.
“Leave us a little luck.”
Gu Jun sighed. He could see that Star Saintess of the Starry Sky was truly thinking of their old relationship and couldn't bear to let them fall.
But this kid Gu Qing is very bad.
He wanted them to continuously reincarnate lifetime after lifetime, experiencing the seven emotions and six desires of mortals, birth, old age, sickness, and death, and experiencing tribulation for all eternity.
This is even more uncomfortable than killing them.
Star Saintess of the Starry Sky hummed, severed the three people's memories, retained a little luck, and cast a magical power to send the three into reincarnation.
Cang Yu looked at the true bodies of the three being wrapped in a Chaos Treasure Bottle, remained silent for a long time, and said, “Fellow Daoist, I don’t need to continue reincarnating, right?”
He is a Chaos Dao Lord, even if he falls, he is still a Dao Lord.
He would rather die than be an ant.
“As you wish.” Gu Qing was too lazy to pay attention to him.
Cang Yu breathed a sigh of relief, thought for a while, and said, “Although my inheritance is not comparable to Fellow Daoist, it still has some merit. Can Fellow Daoist put my inheritance into the Starry Sky Divine Sect's Sutra Depository for those who are destined to cultivate?”
“Yes!”
Free stuff, don't take it for nothing.
The inheritance of a Dao Lord is enough for Celestial Beings to fight for.
“The Universe Clock and the Universe Light are my life-bound treasures, and I will give them to you as well.”
Cang Yu reluctantly handed over these two treasures, as well as his lifelong inheritance, to Gu Qing.
Giving all his most important things to Gu Qing, even knowing that this was a helpless move, Cang Yu was still full of frustration and resentment.
“Hehe, even if you don’t give me these two treasures, I will take them myself.” Gu Qing sneered.
“Also, don’t think that I will give these two treasures to your successor, that’s impossible.”
“Alas!” Cang Yu sighed deeply, “I know, I’m just unwilling.”
“I was born sacred. In order to pursue the Great Dao, I plundered divine women to conceive offspring, and used the offspring to cultivate the Indestructible Golden Body, but in the end, it was all in vain.”
“I have nothing left. If I don’t leave behind my inheritance, there will be no true name of me in the world.”
“You… you are really a ruthless person.”
Hearing this, Gu Qing was greatly shocked.
He has seen a lot and knows that some clans choose to combine closely in order to maintain the purity of their bloodline.
But like Cang Yu, who gave birth to offspring only to devour their bloodline to strengthen himself, he had never heard of it.
Is this still human?
“After cultivating hard for endless years, I have become unrecognizable. The Dao is not the Dao, and people are not people…”
Cang Yu looked lonely, released the seal, and let the Chaos Treasure Bottle melt him.
“Disciple!”
Seeing that Gu Qing couldn't recover for a long time and was in shock, Star Saintess of the Starry Sky softly called.
“Oh!”
“Disciple, there are countless people in the world similar to Cang Yu, and even more dehumanizing than him.”
Star Saintess of the Starry Sky paused, and then said: “They all firmly believe that the Great Dao is ruthless, and only by being ruthless and desireless can one be close to the Great Dao and comprehend the supreme Great Dao.”
Gu Qing's lips moved, speechless.
Because this is not without reason.
If there are too many distracting thoughts and the mind is not pure, it will be difficult to fit with the Great Dao, thus making it difficult to understand the Dao.
But if you really do that, even if you get immortality, even if you get the Great Dao, so what?
What's the difference between this and a puppet?
No, puppets have no consciousness, they do.
To be precise, these people are more like devout slaves of the Great Dao.
“In fact, at first, Master also felt that their ideas were right. Cultivators should not have the seven emotions and six desires. Only by devoutly seeking the Dao and maintaining a sincere heart can one attain the Dao.”
Star Saintess of the Starry Sky touched her disciple's handsome face, and a look of remembrance appeared in her eyes.
Gu Qing's pupils dilated: “Master has always been a firm emotional cultivator, hasn't she?”
“Not really.”
Star Saintess of the Starry Sky shook her head slightly: “Master cut off distracting thoughts, cut off the seven emotions and six desires. Without the root of troubles, she was closer to the heavens, earth, and the Great Dao, and comprehending the Dao was as common as eating.”
“Many of Master's divine Dao fruits were comprehended after cutting off the seven emotions and six desires and interacting with the heavens, earth, and the Great Dao. With this good fortune, Master was even more convinced that only by being ruthless can one attain the Dao.”
“Then what? How did Master later abandon the ruthless Dao and choose the emotional Dao?” Gu Qing asked.
“Later? Later Master experienced the mortal world, observed the various aspects of life, and wanted to create all spirits and all things. Just when Master's Dao was complete, she met a pair of mothers and sons.”
“That woman was the Medicine Spirit Holy Body. She wanted to sacrifice herself to save her seriously injured son, but her husband, family, clan, and sect members all came to stop her. For this reason, they even killed her son, just because she was a master of alchemy.”
“However, she would rather self-destruct than go to the Yellow Springs with her son, and die together with the enemies who killed her son.”
“She said that she was a human, not a puppet without emotions. She said that she was a mother, and she had to avenge the killing of her son.”
“So that's how it is… Master decided to abandon the ruthless Dao and choose the emotional Dao because of their mother and son?”
“Yes, her great maternal love awakened me. I also realized at that moment that without emotions, it is just a devout slave under the Great Dao.”
“That's right, without emotions, it's no different from a slave without self-awareness.”
“Does Disciple really think so?”
“Naturally, like Master, if one day I lose my emotions and lose my self-awareness, then I am no longer me. I would rather dissolve my body and transform into the Dao than let my body live.”
“Good disciple…” Star Saintess of the Starry Sky's beautiful eyes were filled with tenderness. Her disciple and she shared the same aspirations.
“Did Master save their mother and son in the end?” Gu Qing asked.
“Saved, I also gave them a great opportunity.”
“Oh, are they doing well now?”
“Very good, the mother and son accompany each other for longevity and share freedom.”
Nine Heavens Goddess looked at the master and disciple with their eyes drawn, the sticky atmosphere seemed to isolate her from the outside world.
A bad feeling arose spontaneously.
