"Moreover...
You are actually the Anomaly of the current era!"
Huode stared at Gu Qingfeng as if he had discovered something utterly inconceivable. "No!
You are not merely a person of Original Sin, you are the Original Sin Dharma Body. You are not merely a person of Illusion, you...
are the Illusory True Self...
You are not just the Anomaly of the current era...
You are...
Wu Dao's Anomaly!"
"Anomaly...
How could it be an Anomaly?"
Huode seemed to recall something else, muttering, "Wu Dao's Original Sin, Wu Dao's Illusion, Wu Dao's Anomaly...
So it's you!
It's actually you!
How could it possibly be you!"
Huode's words left Gu Qingfeng somewhat confused. "What do you mean?
Do you know who I am?"
"This old man has been looking for you!
I've been searching for you for many, many years, and now I've finally found you!"
"You were looking for me?"
Gu Qingfeng was even more puzzled. "Why were you looking for me?"
"Yes!
Why was this old man looking for you?"
The deranged Huode seemed as chaotic as the swirling Primordial Chaos around them, his consciousness muddled. Suddenly, he exclaimed, "Right!
This old man remembers now! I was looking for you to tell you a few things. You must be careful. Do not believe in Fate, absolutely do not believe in it!
Do not believe in Karma either. The amount of Karma you have is the number of your past lives!
Do not believe in yourself."
"They have already discovered you!
They have been searching for you all along. There are the Bosuo Clan, and the Jiaye Clan, and the Mahā Clan. They have all awakened...
They are all looking for you. They will definitely stop you at all costs."
Gu Qingfeng couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, because he realized that what Huode was saying was identical to what the Dao Seed that had struck him earlier had said—both warning him to be cautious of the Bosuo Clan and the Jiaye Clan.
"What exactly are the Bosuo Clan and the Jiaye Clan?
Who are they?"
"Women!
Those terrifying women!
The women around you!
They are all...
Do not believe them!
!!
! Fate is also one!
! She is of the Mahā Clan...
Do not believe her!
!!
!"
The women around him?
Could they all be from the Bosuo Clan?
Or the Jiaye Clan?
And what about that blasted Mahā Clan?
What in the world was all this?
Gu Qingfeng didn't understand. The more he listened, the more confused he became. "Who told you to tell me these things? Why are you telling me this?"
"Yes!
Who told this old man to tell you...
Why did this old man tell you these things?"
The deranged Huode seemed even more confused than Gu Qingfeng. He muttered to himself, "This old man remembers it was a woman...
She insisted that I must tell you these things...
Wait!
! A woman!
Another woman. Do not believe...
Cannot believe!
It's a trap!
That's it!
Do not believe. These are all traps!
That woman used this old man...
Lost, deliberately set a trap!
You must not believe it!
!!"
Now Gu Qingfeng was completely bewildered.
Just moments ago, Huode had urgently warned him to be careful, and now he was telling him not to believe.
"Right!
You must go find a person. That person's back has you!
Only by finding that person will everything become clear!
That person is a woman!
Why!
Why is it another woman!
No!
You cannot go find that woman. Absolutely do not go find her!
Do not believe. It's all a trap!
It's all a trap set for you!"
Gu Qingfeng did not continue asking. Looking at the deranged Huode before him, he had already realized that even if he asked, he wouldn't get a clear answer. This old fellow's past life had completely lost its way...
His words were jumbled and contradictory. He probably didn't even know what he was saying himself.
Perhaps realizing the contradictions in his own words, Huode looked utterly dejected. "This old man is lost...
Forgotten...
Can't remember anything...
Soul incomplete, consciousness blurred...
Just treat the things this old man said earlier as if you never heard them."
After a moment, Gu Qingfeng cautiously asked, "Do you know who I am?"
"No...
I just feel like you seem familiar, and this feeling is very strong. Unfortunately, this old man is lost...
Forgotten everything...
Only know that it seems this old man has been looking for someone...
And the person this old man was looking for should be you...
As for why it's you, this old man...
Doesn't know. It just feels like it should be you..."
"You were looking for me...
Just to tell me these things?"
"Perhaps. This old man is lost...
Forgotten..."
"Alright, then what about the 'Gu kid' you mentioned earlier...
Can you remember anything about him?"
"Gu kid..." Huode thought for a long time, murmuring, "This old man only remembers he was my kin...
The rest, this old man can't recall either. He left...
Seems to have vanished...
Or perhaps departed...
But...
He said he would definitely return...
He said he would come back to end all this...
This old man believes him...
He will definitely accomplish it. This old man has been waiting for him!"
"What is the name of the 'Gu kid' you mentioned?"
"Name?
Don't know, forgotten..." Huode closed his eyes, struggling to remember, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't recall. He shook his head fiercely, saying dejectedly, "Really can't remember...
Forgotten everything..." After saying this, he stared at Gu Qingfeng again and asked, "And who are you?
Why do you make this old man feel so familiar? And the Wu Dao Illusion, Wu Dao Original Sin, and Wu Dao Anomaly on you...
Why does all of this seem so familiar? Who exactly are you!"
"My surname is also Gu."
Gu Qingfeng looked at Huode, pondered for a moment, and said, "My original name is Tianlang, also known as Qingfeng, with the Dao title Chixiao. Does any of this ring a bell?"
"Surname Gu, original name Tianlang, also known as Qingfeng, Dao title Chixiao...
So familiar...
Really so familiar. Why is it so familiar...
Wu Dao Illusion, Wu Dao Original Sin, Wu Dao Anomaly...
These...
These...
No!
Impossible!
Absolutely impossible!"
Huode muttered, but the more he muttered, the more shocked his expression became. The more he muttered, the more panicked he grew. The more he muttered, the more unbelievable it seemed. He pointed at Gu Qingfeng, exclaiming in horror, "You!
You!
You!
You!
You are actually the Gu kid?"
"The 'Gu kid' you mentioned earlier—could that be me?"
It wasn't just Huode who was shocked. Gu Qingfeng on the opposite side was equally stunned. From Huode's reaction, he had already guessed that the 'Gu kid' Huode spoke of must be referring to him.
But the problem was, Gu Qingfeng only knew the present-life Huode. He had never met Huode's past life—that Mad Old Man from the Wu Dao Era!
"No!
Impossible!
You cannot be the Gu kid!
!"
"Absolutely impossible!"
"Illusion!
It must be an illusion!
Hahaha!
This old man doesn't believe it!
Hahaha!"
"This must be an illusion created by Fate to confuse this old man!
Hahaha!
!!
!"
"This old man will not be fooled!"
"Illusion!
All phenomena are Illusion, hahaha!
It's all fucking Illusion!
Hahahaha!"
Huode had gone completely mad. He looked as if his spirit had shattered. In mid-air, he waved his arms and legs wildly, shouting and screaming. As he leaped up, his figure vanished. Without hesitation, Gu Qingfeng took a step forward and followed closely behind.
