Chapter 482: Unspoken Cause and Effect (2)
The silence was broken by Tao Zi's words: "What about the silent fruit? He brought about the cause, so why are the people the ones who suffer?"
Mo Yu said calmly, "I don't know. Until now, all the consequences he created have been borne by others. Ever since he discovered this, Wuyan has remained silent. The Tiandao Sect has only since then begun to investigate Wuyan's parents and relatives, but they discovered that Wuyan shouldn't be around at this time. In other words, he has no parents or relatives to speak of."
Cheng Wuchou reacted quickly: "Another world?"
Tao Zi thought of the First Emperor of the Cheng family, who was also her ancestor.
Unexpectedly, Mo Yu refuted quickly: "No, he is from this world, but he shouldn't appear at this time."
She tentatively asked, "From the past or the future?"
"That's not right." He thought for a moment and then added, "It's like it shouldn't exist, but was forcibly created by an external force."
As he spoke, he added a startling sentence: "Very similar to your junior brothers and sisters, but Wuyan has not suffered those disasters, and he is not a person who is half dead."
Tao Zi's expression froze, and countless speculations flashed through her mind. In the end, she only said one sentence: "Are Xi Jing and the others related to Wu Yan?"
Mo Yu asked back, "Xi Jing is the sword spirit of the Wuyan Fate Sword. Do you think it has anything to do with her?"
Her face gradually darkened, but Mo Yu still added fearlessly, "I've said it before, becoming a sword spirit is Xi Jing's inevitable fate."
Tao Zi's eyes were filled with murderous intent: "You already knew what would happen to Xi Jing?"
A sword appeared in Cheng Wuchou's hand, and he was thinking about how Tao Zi would get out of Tiandao Sect after killing people.
Mo Yu nodded. "I know. I knew it the first time I saw Xi Jing. Oh, by the way, I never told you that I deliberately went into that corpse town to get to know you, just so I could stay with you openly."
Tao Zi's murderous intent was no longer concealed, and a pink hammer appeared in her hand: "Watching Xi Jing step by step towards death, how do you feel?"
Mo Yu laughed at himself, looking at them with a complicated expression, and sighed, "I'm very sad."
She looked at him coldly, not believing what he said.
He didn't really care. Instead, he laughed and said, "Don't look at me with such murderous intent. After tonight, I am destined to die."
Cheng Wuchou asked, "What's the matter?"
"Heaven will not allow a reckless ant who reveals the secrets of Heaven to survive, let alone me being just a clone, a false clone formed in a special way." Mo Yu paused and added, "But Wuyan is about to wake up. Even if this incident didn't happen, I should leave."
Tao Zi continued to look at him expressionlessly, showing no emotion at all. However, Cheng Wuchou reacted and said, "You can speak without restraint, which means that your silent nature has not affected you, right?"
Mo Yu nodded in agreement, "Of course, but we don't have much time tonight. Are you sure you want to focus on such an insignificant matter?"
For some reason, Tao Zi's expression suddenly softened a little. She said, "You said you were sad. What's the reason?"
The topic changed so quickly that even Mo Yu paused for a moment before reacting. "The reason is very simple—I've failed in my battle with fate once again."
The brother and sister looked at each other and reacted at the same time.
Mo Yu observed their expressions and continued, "My existence is to prevent Miss Xijing from embarking on her destined path. To this end, I mobilized the power of the Tiandao Sect, repeatedly preventing the Minglan Sect from discovering Miss Xijing's special qualities. I also lured the Minglan Sect's cultivators away from the ruins. Who would have thought that the owner of the ruins would reveal that Miss Xijing was a natural spirit? Do you think I didn't want to stop Xijing from becoming a sword spirit? But the situation at the time was that she would either fall into Qinglan's hands or become a sword spirit."
No one knew what Tao Zi was thinking, but the murderous intent on her face finally lightened a lot. She said, "Continue."
He took a sip of wine and continued, "Fate is hard to change. In my silent calculations, Miss Xi Jing will eventually become the spirit of the Xijing Sword. If she escapes this fate in this life, it will happen again in the next. There's no escaping it."
There was no way to escape this sentence; even Tao Zi could hear the heavy sigh within it.
She suddenly understood and said, "He is involved in the cause and effect of heaven and earth, so his fortune telling and divination skills are also first-class?"
Mo Yu smiled in agreement, but his next words were clearly nonchalant, yet they instilled a sense of despair: "Ever since he was a teenager, he's seen clearly his fate for the next decade or so, including when he'll advance, when he'll encounter danger, and when he'll find an opportunity. Other cultivators in the world of immortal cultivation learn from the outset to refuse their fate and go against the will of heaven, but Wuyan is different. From the age of ten, he's learned to accept his fate. The elders in the sect always say it's his destiny, but Wuyan doesn't see it that way. In his eyes, fate is a series of unbreakable strings, and he's just the puppet on those strings."
Tao Zi was silent for a long time, then said, "He doesn't have to go if there's an opportunity or danger. If he doesn't know where it is, then he can stay in the room."
Mo Yu smiled and said, "Your junior brothers and sisters are out and about, and they're in danger. They're asking you for help. Coincidentally, you're the only one in the sect who's qualified and available. Will you go?"
She fell silent.
Cheng Wuchou frowned and said, "That's not right. Destiny isn't fixed, but a path paved by one decision after another. If something is bound to happen, it must be after all the key decisions have been made. There's no reason to know what will happen more than ten years in advance. Even if we knew, we would only know what will happen with a high probability, not what will definitely happen."
"That would certainly be the case under normal circumstances, but do you think the way of heaven is normal now?"
As soon as these words were spoken, there was a loud noise out of nowhere.
Mo Yu was not afraid, and was even a little excited. He said, "Something went wrong with the Heavenly Dao during the great war three thousand years ago. You should have heard about this."
Tao Zi looked at him steadily and asked, "Do you know anything more specific?"
"There are two problems with the Heavenly Dao. The first is its incompleteness and destruction. Many high-level cultivators are aware of this."
Mo Yu paused for a moment, then said meaningfully, "The second issue is human nature. The Way of Heaven has human nature."
Boom! A bolt of lightning struck the sky, illuminating Mo Yu's face, which looked very strange.
He continued, "The laws of nature are constantly correcting themselves, but this also makes certain possible events inevitable. Wu Yan is the biggest victim of this. To him, life is quite boring. All the major events are already laid out before him. He only needs to live like a puppet."
Cheng Wuchou disagreed and said, "He can try to resist instead of just accepting it."
Mo Yu replied, "The consequences of resistance never fell on him. There were always others who bore them for him. Wu Yan is not a cold-hearted person."
