Chapter Summary
“If this isn’t your life, would you have tried so hard? And if you only found out at the end, what would be your reaction? ” Li Qiye asked: “Probably not for yourself but your true self, yes, the favorite yet still can’t kill the villainous heaven.
Chapter 7079: To Accept Fate Or Not?
“If this isn’t your life, would you have tried so hard?
And if you only found out at the end, what would be your reaction?
” The old man asked.
“I wouldn’t be able to stop cursing.
” Li Qiye nodded.
“You’re the real thing, that’s why you are carefree.
If you were in the other’s shoes, you wouldn’t be standing still.
” He said.
“I suppose I will be even more pessimistic than you, resorting to inaction.
” Li Qiye said.
“Inaction?
No, this is my life, this is how I take charge, be comfortable instead of worrying about upholding the bullshit dao heart.
” He snorted.
“You’re completely right, we are bastards indeed.
” Li Qiye said.
“Not that knowing this would have changed anything.
” He said.
“I do know I owe myself an apology, but the sentiment alone is insufficient, I need to do more.
” Li Qiye said.
“What else can you do?
Nothing will change how everything will go back to the true self.
That’s what you owe, can you give it away?
” He said.
“No, not even with my life.
” Li Qiye shook his head.
“Yes, avatars and other intents are always part of the true self, nothing more.
” He said.
“I do hope that once everything is finished, my other self can live independently and free.
” Li Qiye said.
“Artificial words.
” He didn’t buy it: “They’re mere puppets, their lives are fundamentally meaningless.
” “So you figured it out for quite a while, not just when Octopus activated the light source here.
” Li Qiye said.
He snorted without responding.
“Nonetheless, you accepted your fate and still challenged the high heaven like a moth drawn to the flame.
” Li Qiye said.
After a long pause, he answered: “Damn, I had thought that I wanted to finish the villainous heaven, that it was my mission since birth.
I had to try regardless of the outcome.
Bah, then I realized this bullshit was not my fate at all.
” “Why did you keep going?
” Li Qiye asked.
“What else can I do?
” He glared at Li Qiye.
“You understand it too.
The reason you were able to be born was precisely that you refused to accept your fate.
” Li Qiye said.
“Hmph, that’s not me refusing to accept fate.
You could only say that my true self refused to accept it.
” He responded.
“To put it simply, the real you couldn’t accept fate.
This birthed you, who had no choice but to fight the high heaven.
This was your unavoidable destiny.
” Li Qiye said.
“Which is why you all deserve to die.
” He said.
“We want to, but can’t.
Is that accepting fate or not accepting fate?
The former includes struggling and moving forward, not accepting fate is attempting despite knowing it’s impossible.
” Li Qiye said.
“At the very least, your suffering is for your own life.
The same can’t be said for us.
” He complained.
“I suppose, maybe it’s not so bad.
” Li Qiye nodded.
This made the old man glare at him before letting out a sigh.
The duo lay side by side, aware of each other’s secrets and memories.
Perhaps no one else knew them better.
“Another expedition soon?
” He eventually asked.
“Yes, I have to, just as you said, I can’t bear not trying.
” Li Qiye said: “It is time for change and for me to get my answer.
” “Damn it, you will do what I can’t, I’m jealous.
” He uttered coldly.
“Jealous because of yourself or your true self?
” Li Qiye asked: “Probably not for yourself but your true self, yes, the favorite yet still can’t kill the villainous heaven.
” “Whatever you say.
” He sneered.
“Now that I am here, I potentially have the power to set you free.
Would you like to set yourself free or your true self free?
” Li Qiye asked.
“You can?
” He asked skeptically.
“Yes, since I found an answer for myself, everything else is not difficult.
” Li Qiye smiled.
“Acting all cool, I see.
” He said.
“So which do you pick?
” Li Qiye asked.
“I ask you the same question.
” He said.
“I’ve only met you, not your true self.
I will obviously pick you.
” Li Qiye said: “But you might not agree.
” “What makes you think that?
I’m not a masochist.
” He snorted.
