"In the eyes of cultivators and researchers like us, there's no such thing as the chicken or the egg. What comes first is the chicken, the living being that lays the egg."
"Because all things have a beginning and an end, there is no order of precedence, except the appearance of this living being."
"The universe gave birth to living beings because it needed them to create the world, to give birth to life, to energize the universe, and to strengthen it."
"Isn't this what they call creatures born and raised by nature?"
Chen Yuanquan spoke slowly.
Qin Ye nodded, acknowledging Chen Yuanquan's opinion.
"You're right. The 'Vegetarian Sutra' states, 'Existence and non-existence give rise to each other, difficulty and ease complement each other.' If a practitioner obsesses over the debate of what comes first and what comes later, it's like a mortal trying to measure the galaxy with his finger; he'll never grasp the true meaning."
Speaking of this.
Qin Ye paused and looked at Chen Yuanquan. His eyes moved, and he vaguely understood what Chen Yuanquan wanted to express.
"Is there a reason for the emergence of the source? We can't investigate the order, but the reason?"
Chen Yuanquan did not answer Qin Ye.
Just face it with a smile.
Qin Ye recalled Chen Yuanquan's previous cryptic statement, and suddenly he was speechless.
Immediately following.
Chen Yuanquan continued.
"Then let's begin the story. Once upon a time, there was a red tree. On the tree lived a group of birds. These birds had a leader, and the leader bird gave birth to many other birds of all kinds."
"Among them, there are twelve birds of the same species, and seven birds of the same species, which are particularly prominent, protecting every branch of the tree from being taken over by outsiders."
"Led by the leader bird, a huge flock of birds was created on the tree, and even on the ground below the tree, a thriving earthworm population was created."
Accompanied by Chen Yuanquan's narration of obscure stories.
Qin Ye chuckled.
"The lilac tree? The tree in the Garden of Eden? Birds? Angels, right? You really are a storyteller. The ground under the lilac tree and the earthworms refer to the West and Westerners, right? I feel offended by comparing people to earthworms."
Qin Ye's understanding of the story.
Chen Yuanquan listened and chuckled.
"I actually want to compare it to maggots, because birds feed on maggots, just like Western believers believe in heaven and provide the power of faith."
Qin Ye laughed and joked when he heard it.
"Maggots? I think they can. After all, once a person encounters a god, even if it's a real-life male or female god, as long as they start talking to their goddess or god, even if it's just on WeChat, they'll get excited like a maggot in the middle of the night, squirming and twisting wildly in their bed, hahahaha."
Chen Yuanquan smiled and continued.
"Aside from this tree, there are many other trees nearby. There's a golden tree with a flock of birds living on it. The leader bird of this golden tree has built a very large nest on it."
Qin Ye looked over when he heard that.
"Heaven?"
Chen Yuanquan did not respond, but just smiled, the meaning of which was self-evident.
Immediately following.
Chen Yuanquan continued.
"At first, the birds on the two trees were each expanding their own tree homes and leading the grasslands around their trees to flourish. After all, if the grasslands are lush and prosperous, the trees will also benefit."
"The trees will be greener and more lush, and the birds will live more comfortably, right?"
Qin Ye nodded.
"The relationship between man and God is like that between a tree and the earth. Please continue."
Chen Yuanquan continued.
"Originally, everything was peaceful and could have continued like this, but suddenly one day, something happened between the trees on both sides."
Um?
Qin Ye was suddenly startled, vaguely realizing something, and listened attentively.
Also at this time.
