"Are you making sarcastic remarks?"
Lady Wu Yue's voice came through. Gu Qingfeng laughed mockingly, "Ha! I'm just a pawn in this Original Sin Cataclysm. What right do I have to make sarcastic remarks?"
"You are a pawn, I am a pawn. In this Original Sin Cataclysm, who isn't a pawn?"
"So you finally realize you're a pawn too."
Gu Qingfeng suddenly turned around, his tone turning sharp and fierce. Pointing a finger at Lady Wu Yue, he roared, "If you hadn't said so, I would have thought you were the chess player!"
Boom!
Crack!
As Gu Qingfeng roared angrily, the Original Sin Aura filling the sky once again boiled and burned. The entire Li Palace space trembled and cracked violently. At the same time, a terrifying pressure swept over them like a tidal wave, suppressing the physical bodies of all the patriarchs present and shaking their very souls.
At this moment.
Everyone could feel Gu Qingfeng's fury.
Within this fury was an endless, overwhelming killing intent!
In the void.
Gu Qingfeng stood tall, his ink-black hair dancing wildly amidst the Original Sin Aura filling the sky, his snow-white robes flapping loudly amidst the Original Sin radiance.
He looked somewhat lonely, somewhat cold and stern, and somewhat mad!
Like a statue that had stood in the void since time immemorial, enduring through countless ages, spanning ancient and modern times, witnessing all the vicissitudes of the world.
Also like a demon god, standing proudly in the void, looking down upon heaven and earth, glaring furiously at all living beings.
Beneath his feet was the Li Palace Source.
The Li Palace Source rotated like a massive vortex, bloomed like a flower in full bloom, and like a fountainhead of Original Sin, it seemed to be undergoing some transformation.
Gu Qingfeng was ethereal and intangible, invisible to spiritual sense.
This Li Palace Source was similarly ethereal and intangible, invisible to spiritual sense, only visible to the naked eye.
And for some reason, as Gu Qingfeng's roars grew stronger, the Li Palace Source rotated faster and faster, the Original Sin Aura it released grew denser, and the Original Sin radiance flashing from it grew more intense.
Within the space.
Whether they were Great Dao Patriarchs or Original Sin Patriarchs, all held their breath, their spirits tense. They summoned their Fortunes, held their magical treasures, their hearts uneasy, feeling as if sitting on pins and needles.
Earlier.
Lady Wu Yue had said that whether Gu Qingfeng was the True Lord of Original Sin recorded in the Book of Fate was no longer important. What mattered was that his changes would affect this Original Sin Cataclysm.
When Lady Wu Yue said this, many could not understand. But now, looking at the Original Sin Aura boiling like fire as if to incinerate everything, looking at the continuously cracking Li Palace space, looking at Gu Qingfeng who seemed both demon and god, feeling that overwhelming killing intent and the pressure that shook their souls, everyone finally understood the meaning of Lady Wu Yue's words.
Indeed.
Whether Gu Qingfeng was or was not the True Lord of Original Sin recorded in the Book of Fate was no longer important.
So what if he was? So what if he wasn't?
Who had the confidence to erase him?
Who did?
The answer was certain: no one.
No one at all.
Black Mountain Old Monster did not, Tai Chi Wuliang did not, Miao Rulai did not, Fusheng Dijun did not, Changfeng Great Emperor did not, including the still-unseen Great Sun Radiant Emperor, and even the two pillars Xuanyuan Wuji and Dugu Qizhan did not. Probably even Genggu Wuming did not. If they did, they wouldn't have remained hidden for so long.
Earlier.
After learning that Gu Qingfeng had achieved an Indestructible Body, many had been troubled by a question: if Gu Qingfeng really was the True Lord of Original Sin recorded in the Book of Fate, how could they erase him, facing the eternal myth of the legendary Indestructible Body?
Now, many were gradually realizing that this was not a question of how to erase Gu Qingfeng, but a question of how to survive from Gu Qingfeng's hands.
This was truly the feeling, and no one was an exception.
Especially after being enveloped by that overwhelming pressure, everyone felt as if they had been marked by the god of death. It was as if Gu Qingfeng only needed to wave his hand—no!
Just a glance, or even a thought, and they would instantly turn to dust.
To them, Gu Qingfeng was the Original Sin of this place, he was the Li Palace of this place, he was the True Lord of Original Sin recorded in the Book of Fate.
Gu Qingfeng's every move, every glance, every thought, any joy, anger, sorrow, or happiness—all affected the entire Li Palace space. Even the Li Palace Source beneath his feet changed wildly along with Gu Qingfeng's fury.
He was like the god of this Li Palace, ruling over everything.
Under such circumstances, was it still important whether he was the True Lord of Original Sin recorded in the Book of Fate?
No!
It was no longer important!
What mattered was whether he wanted to be or not.
As long as he did not want to be, he was not the True Lord of Original Sin recorded in the Book of Fate.
As long as he wanted to be, he was the True Lord of Original Sin recorded in the Book of Fate.
Whether he was the True Lord of Original Sin recorded in the Book of Fate depended solely on a single thought of his.
"You're all grandsons pretending to be masters!"
Gu Qingfeng's eyes were like abysses, like black holes, sweeping across all the patriarchs present. He shouted, "Every one of you looks respectable on the outside, either setting up Original Sin schemes or Great Dao schemes, either planting this karma or seizing that opportunity. Anyone who didn't know better would think you were all incarnations of karma, all envoys of Fate, all fucking Genggu Wumings!"
Whoosh!
The Li Palace Source, like a black hole vortex, began to tremble violently as it spun wildly beneath Gu Qingfeng's feet. The Original Sin Aura filling the sky boiled like water, burned like fire!
Boom!
Crack!
The Li Palace space continuously cracked, splitting open with fissures, exploding into holes.
Suddenly!
A radiance shot out from within Gu Qingfeng's body. The moment this radiance appeared, the entire Li Palace space instantly plunged into darkness.
This radiance was the light of a Great Dao, containing an intense Dao Aura.
However.
It was neither the Immortal Dao, nor the Demonic Dao, nor the Buddhist Dao, nor the Demonic Dao, nor the Saintly Dao, nor the Heavenly Dao...
It was a Forbidden Great Dao—the Dao of Darkness!
Immediately after.
In a flash, another radiance shot out from within Gu Qingfeng's body.
This radiance was also the light of a Great Dao, containing an intense Dao Aura.
The moment it appeared, the killing intent filling the sky instantly enveloped the entire Li Palace space.
Another Forbidden Great Dao—the Dao of Slaughter!
Was it over?
No!
A third radiance shot out from within Gu Qingfeng's body. Again, it was the light of a Great Dao. The moment it appeared, death permeated everywhere in the Li Palace space.
This was the Forbidden Great Dao—the Dao of Death.
Whoosh!
A fourth radiance shot out from within Gu Qingfeng's body. Similarly, it was the light of a Great Dao, but different in that when it appeared, evil permeated the Li Palace space.
This was the Forbidden Great Dao—the Dao of Evil.
Immediately after.
The fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth radiances emerged one after another from within Gu Qingfeng's body.
Nine radiances, all lights of Great Daos, all legendary Forbidden Great Daos.
Darkness, Slaughter, Death, Evil, Absolute, Asura, Hell, Devour, Silence.
