“It’s not accurate to say that he’s the reincarnation of the Great Dao.” Sheng Xiao inserted his finger into the Holy Water of Light. When he felt the extremely pure and rich energy in the holy water, he corrected himself, “He’s the rebirth of the Great Dao.”
Sheng Xiao looked up and asked Eternal, “Do you still remember that legend?”
There were thousands of legends, so how could Eternal know which one it was?
Eternal asked humbly, “I’m stupid, so please enlighten me, Master.”
Sheng Xiao said, “Legend has it that the Bewitching Butterfly was born because of the butterfly vine. It relied on absorbing the energy of the butterfly vine to activate its divine sense and become the first intelligent species in the world. Then, it created the Spiritual Energy Dao and became the Great Dao. They all say that the Great Dao is a natural spiritual creature, but I think the Great Dao is more like the derivation of the butterfly vine’s desire.”
Eternal was even more confused and asked, “Master, what is this butterfly vine you’re talking about?”
“That’s right. What is a butterfly vine?” Sheng Xiao didn’t understand the butterfly vine’s true identity either, so he fell into deep thought.
Eternal didn’t dare to disturb Sheng Xiao.
Sheng Xiao looked puzzled as he told Eternal, “The first thing every demon beast born in the Chaos Realm sees when they open their eyes is a butterfly vine, so I think the butterfly vine might be the real Creator.”
Eternal took a deep breath and looked around before saying in a low voice, “In that case, isn’t the so-called Great Dao the embodiment of the Creator’s desire?”
“That’s just my guess.” Sheng Xiao shook his head and lamented, “Mortals are greedy. The Creator is compassionate, but who said that the Creator doesn’t have its own biases? We are the product of his compassion, and the Bewitching Butterfly is his bias. From the moment he gave his divine sense to the Bewitching Butterfly, he had desire.”
“The reason the Bewitching Butterfly gave birth to two extreme personalities, good and evil, is because any intelligent creature has many sides. When the Creator became biased towards the Bewitching Butterfly, it also passed its evilness and kindness to the Great Dao. The Great Dao that gained intelligence gradually grew into a completely independent existance…”
“I vaguely remember that when I was young, the Bewitching Butterfly and the butterfly vine fought a huge battle. After that battle ended, the butterfly vine disappeared, and the Great Dao was severely injured. Later on, the Great Dao died, and us Chaos Divine Beasts also awakened our divine sense and learned how to control the Spiritual Energy Dao.”
After Sheng Xiao took his hand out of the holy spring water and wiped his fingertips elegantly with a clean handkerchief, he said with certainty, “If I’m not mistaken, before the Great Dao died, its evilness personality started its revival plan. The 3,006 bone balls were just a ruse. The heart that it secretly hid was the key to its revival.”
Eternal understood what Sheng Xiao meant, so he asked, “Master, do you think that the 3,006 bone balls are just a cover and that the heart hidden under the Western Continent is the key to its revival?” Eternal couldn’t help but feel a chill down his spine when he thought of something else and said, “Feng Yuncheng was born right when the Great Dao was about to completely recover its power, so his birth might be the Great Dao’s conspiracy!”
“Yes.” Sheng Xiao looked up at the hard mountain peak above his head and said, “It’s not that the Feng couple accidentally barged into the barrier of the Holy Mountain. The thing in the barrier of the Holy Mountain couldn’t wait to find a mother to be born from!” Even without the Feng couple, another couple would have been chosen by the thing in the barrier.
“According to Master’s analysis, Feng Yuncheng is probably the Great Dao.” Eternal was unwilling to face Feng Yuncheng as long as he thought about how Feng Yuncheng, who his master trusted and protected like a brother, was actually the reincarnation of the Great Dao.
“You’re wrong.” Sheng Xiao stared at the dirty handkerchief as he said, “Feng Yuncheng is only the rebirth of the Great Dao, but that doesn’t mean that he will become the Great Dao just because he is the Great Dao.”
Eternal thought about these profound words for a moment before he understood what Sheng Xiao meant. “Master, you mean that even with the same soul, he will become a different person because of different experiences.”
“That’s right.” Sheng Xiao looked at Eternal in admiration as he lamented, “After sleeping for more than ten thousand years, you’ve finally become more enlightened.”
Eternal blushed and retorted softly, “I wasn’t that stupid in the past.”
