"Isn't this so-called Heavenly Dragon True Emperor's luck just a bit too good? Born with a Dark Bloodline, possessing the innate Heavenly Dragon Supreme Body, and he even managed to cultivate an Original Sin Dharmakaya. And now he also possesses an indestructible Divine Sense and Demonic Thoughts from the Primordial Era. It's enough to make a person furious!"
The woman's words were filled with displeasure, as if she were quite jealous of the Heavenly Dragon True Emperor possessing indestructible Divine Sense and Demonic Thoughts.
Indeed.
The woman's origins were extraordinary; both her status and background could be considered the greatest across ancient and modern times.
She neither envied the Heavenly Dragon True Emperor's Dark Bloodline nor his Heavenly Dragon Supreme Body. Even his cultivation of an Original Sin Dharmakaya didn't stir envy in her. It was solely the indestructible Divine Sense and Demonic Thoughts that filled her with both envy and jealousy.
This was not only the deepest pain in her heart but also her greatest regret to date.
Because she had always wanted to obtain a strand of indestructible Divine Sense and Demonic Thoughts, but fate seemed to play tricks on her, and she had yet to fulfill this wish.
Every time she saw someone possessing indestructible Divine Sense and Demonic Thoughts, the woman gritted her teeth in frustration.
"Tell me, am I inferior to this so-called Heavenly Dragon True Emperor? Whether it's innate talent, comprehension, fortune, or destiny, in which aspect am I not better than him?"
The more she spoke, the more displeased she became. "I can accept that You Di possesses a body full of indestructible Divine Sense and Demonic Thoughts. After all, his existence is far too special. I can't compare to him, and I don't want to. But how come even this Heavenly Dragon True Emperor fellow has indestructible Divine Sense and Demonic Thoughts? If I can't match You Di, fine, but am I really inferior to this so-called Heavenly Dragon True Emperor? Why does he get to have Divine Sense and Demonic Thoughts while I have nothing at all!"
The woman knew that You Di possessed a body full of indestructible Divine Sense and Demonic Thoughts.
Like the Avici Asura of endless suffering, like descending from the highest heavens to the lowest hells.
She not only knew but had also personally witnessed how terrifying and dreadful You Di's Divine Sense and Demonic Thoughts were.
Precisely because she had seen it, she had always wanted to possess a strand of Divine Sense and Demonic Thoughts of her own.
Beside her.
The Old Matron and the Elder exchanged a glance. As people close to the woman, they naturally knew how deeply she cared about indestructible Divine Sense and Demonic Thoughts. The Old Matron sighed and said, "Young Lady, the existence of this Heavenly Dragon True Emperor is far more special than you imagine."
"Special? How special?" The woman snorted coldly. "Could he possibly be more special than You Di?"
"Well... While the Heavenly Dragon True Emperor's existence may not compare to You Di's, the difference isn't that great."
"He just cultivated an Original Sin Dharmakaya, what's so impressive about that?"
"Being able to cultivate an Original Sin Dharmakaya is, in itself, a remarkable feat. Of course, that's not the important part. What matters is that this Heavenly Dragon True Emperor also possesses a Dark Bloodline. From what this old one understands, in the current world, among those who both possess a Dark Bloodline and have cultivated an Original Sin Dharmakaya, aside from the few great Dao overlords like the Dark Lord, only this Heavenly Dragon True Emperor remains. And moreover..." The Old Matron continued softly, "Moreover, Young Lady may not know this, but this Heavenly Dragon True Emperor, like You Di, is a variable of the current era. The magnitude of his variable may not match You Di's, but it is certainly not small."
The woman was quite surprised. "This fellow is also a variable? I never heard of so many variables back in the Great Desolate. How come after entering this Primordial Black Hole, we've encountered so many?"
"Back in the Great Desolate, these variables were all lying dormant in the shadows. Now that the Primordial Black Hole has appeared, and the time has come to decide the fate of the world's Great Dao, of course they've all emerged."
After the Old Matron finished speaking, the Elder added, "Young Lady, you need not dwell on Divine Sense and Demonic Thoughts. Not just anyone can control Divine Sense and Demonic Thoughts..." Before the Elder could finish, the Young Lady shot him a glare and retorted defiantly, "Elder Qi, what do you mean? Are you saying this Young Lady cannot control so-called Divine Sense and Demonic Thoughts?"
"Young Lady, this old one does not mean that. It's just that..." The Elder smiled wryly and explained, "Let me put it this way. Those who possess indestructible Divine Sense and Demonic Thoughts can generally be divided into three categories."
"The first is karmic opportunity, meaning a certain individual shares some karmic connection with a particular strand of indestructible Divine Sense and Demonic Thoughts. They are destined to meet and fuse together. This is predetermined karma, a destined fate."
"The second is relying on one's own formidable strength to forcibly integrate indestructible Divine Sense and Demonic Thoughts into oneself. This method is extremely dangerous. If the fusion fails, one will inevitably be devoured by the Divine Sense and Demonic Thoughts. At that point, one may lose their self, even their original identity, becoming a puppet incarnation of the Divine Sense and Demonic Thoughts. Moreover, even if the fusion succeeds, one must constantly guard against and suppress it thereafter, unless one can refine the spiritual will contained within the Divine Sense and Demonic Thoughts."
The Elder sighed. "The beings from whom the Divine Sense and Demonic Thoughts originated were overlords who once dominated the world. The strength of their spiritual will can be imagined. Refining it is no easy task. And even if refined, one can easily lose themselves... sinking into the sea of suffering."
"Ah?" The woman, who had always dreamed of obtaining a strand of indestructible Divine Sense and Demonic Thoughts, had never considered that fusing with them could be so dangerous. Failure meant being devoured and losing one's original self. Even success, even after refining the spiritual will, still carried the risk of losing oneself and sinking into the sea of suffering.
Weren't the consequences and price far too severe?
"The third category involves some Divine Sense and Demonic Thoughts offering themselves willingly."
Hearing this, the woman thought she had misheard. "What? Elder Qi, say that again. There are Divine Sense and Demonic Thoughts that come knocking on their own?"
The Elder nodded very seriously. "Some indestructible Divine Sense and Demonic Thoughts, though they have lost their original selves and their individual identities, have inherited the spiritual will of their former lives."
"Some spiritual wills may be guardians of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth."
"But others may covet the True Lord of Original Sin, wanting to destroy this Great Dao world and reopen the era without Dao."
As he spoke, the Elder fixed his gaze on the woman. "Does the Young Lady understand this old one's meaning?"
The woman nodded, as if she understood. "Elder Qi means that spiritual wills that cherish the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth will seek out those who bear the Heavenly Mandate, the destined tribulation-bearers—the so-called predetermined constants. And those spiritual wills that covet the True Lord of Original Sin will seek out those who defy heaven and alter fate, the Original Sin individuals—the so-called variables."
"That's roughly the idea. This is also why most who possess Divine Sense and Demonic Thoughts are either tribulation-bearers bearing the Heavenly Mandate or Original Sin individuals defying heaven and altering fate. It's not that they chose the Divine Sense and Demonic Thoughts, but that the Divine Sense and Demonic Thoughts chose them."
The Elder spoke while sighing with emotion. "Those indestructible Divine Sense and Demonic Thoughts belonged in life to overlords who dominated the world. They all experienced the Primordial Era and know far more about this world's Great Dao and the fate of Original Sin than we do."
