Seeing Artoria's ferocious expression, Guhan suddenly understood many things in an instant. He let out a long sigh and put Lu Qingping, who had fainted from the strenuous exercise, into his dimensional pocket. He then looked at Artoria calmly and said, "I won't explain anything, I can only say that this is fate."
"Very well, then you can go to hell with your fate!"
Artoria glanced coldly at Guhan, then walked in the opposite direction. The two gradually walked further and further away. As time once again changed, the entire world of the Seamless Corridor became quiet again.
"Fate!
Can it be changed? "Thinking of Artoria's last words, Guhan fell into deep thought.
Once upon a time, Guhan was watered with chicken soup. He firmly believed that man could conquer nature, that man could rely on his own efforts to overcome fate, and even change fate.
But after experiencing all sorts of things, Guhan discovered that the reason why fate could be called fate was because it was already destined to be unchangeable. No matter how hard he worked, it was impossible to change fate, because his own efforts and struggles had already been predetermined by fate.
This may sound a little mysterious, but let me give you a simple example to illustrate it.
For example, a slacker student who scored less than 40 points in exams every day, after encountering a sudden event, decided to rely on his own efforts to change his original fate and become a top student.
Then, the general conclusion could be that this student would have two endings in the end. One was that he would work hard and become a top student, or the other would be the same as before, a slacker student in the end.
In terms of the second ending, we can say that this student did not work hard enough, so he did not change his fate.
But can we say that in the first ending, this student changed his fate?
No, this student had never changed his fate from beginning to end, because fate had determined that he would work hard in the latter half of his studies, so fate had also determined that he would become a top student. This was something that had been determined by fate.
Similarly, whether it was Liu Bang or Zhu Yuanzhang, those emperors who were born as commoners, did they really change their fate with their own hands?
No, they had never changed their fates from beginning to end, because Liu Bang was the son of the Red Emperor, and Zhu Yuanzhang was the reincarnation of a dragon and a phoenix. These were also predestined, but in the eyes of outsiders, they had changed their fates.
From this moment on, Guhan's life and values changed. Guhan's belief that fate could be changed gradually changed to the belief that everything was predestined … This didn't mean that Guhan had given up on fighting or working hard.
This only made Guhan wiser. People who could see through fate would all be wise. No one knew whether this was good or bad, but in the end, it was something decided by fate.
At this moment, Guhan suddenly fell into a mysterious realm. In Buddhist terms, Guhan had begun to be enlightened.
[PS: Here, I borrow Guhan to talk about the author's view of fate, but the author wants to make it clear that the author's view of fate is not to let everyone sit at home doing nothing and wait for an unchangeable fate.
The author just wants to tell everyone that although fate is determined by the heavens, no one in this world can know their own fate. So, until the very last moment, don't think that your fate will be like this, because you will never know what your future will be like.]
…
"Lord … Sword Immortal Hong Jun, are you okay?"
When Guhan woke up from his meditation, he heard the voice of Lu Qingping in the dimensional pocket.
"I'm fine, I've never felt so good!"
Gu Han said faintly. Although his voice sounded very calm, it made Lu Qingping feel a sense of stillness … How should she put it? At this moment, Gu Han felt like he had become a god.
"Sorry!"
Guhan seemed to have realized his abnormality. He withdrew his aura, and the feeling of a god disappeared without a trace. He returned to the normal Guhan.
But Lu Qingping knew that Guhan had changed.
"What do we do next?" Lu Qingping changed the topic and asked.
"Wait!
The one who should come will come sooner or later! "
After Guhan finished speaking, he actually sat down cross-legged. He was no longer like before, moving forward in the endless Seamless Corridor. Instead, he sat there motionlessly, like an old monk in meditation.
At the same time, Guhan's mind sank into his dimensional pocket. At this time, there were still 100 million consciousness fragments in the dimensional pocket. After treating Lu Qingping, these consciousness fragments seemed to have nothing to do.
"Do you want to see a magic trick?"
Guhan suddenly asked Lu Qingping. Lu Qingping hadn't reacted to what Guhan meant when some of the buckets in the dimensional pocket suddenly began to move.
These buckets were moved by Guhan to an empty space in the dimensional pocket. The pure water carried in them was poured out by Guhan, but this pure water did not fall at the bottom of the dimensional pocket. Instead, it floated in the air and finally formed a water block like a square flat. It looked like a lake, but this lake did not have a lake bottom and a shore, just water.
Seeing this, Lu Qingping was completely confused. She had no idea what Guhan wanted to do and what was the meaning of making such a lake.
Next, Guhan took out a large snakeskin bag from the supplies. When the contents of the bag were poured out, Lu Qingping realized that the bag was actually filled with fresh meat.
It was not the kind of fresh meat, but the fresh meat that had just been slaughtered without any processing or cooking. This meat was originally prepared for Qingpin, but now it seemed that she could only let Guhan use it.
She saw Guhan control a large piece of fresh meat to float directly above the lake. Then, in an instant, the whole piece of fresh meat exploded like a bomb. The meat was divided into extremely tiny diced meat that was ten times smaller than sesame seeds. There were so many of them that Lu Qingping estimated that the total number was at least 100 million.
What happened next made Lu Qingping's jaw drop. After these pieces of meat, which were smaller than sesame seeds, entered the water, they actually began to swim agilely … These pieces of meat clearly looked like pieces of meat, but when they swam, they were like living fish. They flowed freely in this lake, as if they were alive.
To Lu Qingping's relief, Guhan finally stopped his inexplicable actions. The movement in the dimensional pocket finally stopped, and Lu Qingping was released from the dimensional pocket by Guhan.
"Let's meet an old friend!
He's finally here! "
…
"Mr. Liu Bang!"
When Lu Qingping came out of the dimensional pocket, she immediately shouted in surprise. The person in front of her was Liu Bang, one of the few acquaintances she had been with for a long time in this world!
"Haha!
You're still alive? That's great! "
Liu Bang smiled awkwardly. Then, Lu Qingping found that Liu Bang was not the only one who appeared. Behind him, there were four people standing there coldly.
"Mr. Jojo Dōma!
Ms. Chidou Isuzu!
Ms. Misaka Mikoto, and … and … and Ms. Artoria … "Lu Qingping read out the names of these people in a daze. She did not expect these people to gather at this moment.
"I can't believe we meet again!
You bitch, you heartless man! "
Misaka Mikoto and Chidou Isuzu angrily clenched their fists and waved them at Guhan. Jojo Dōma could only look at Guhan awkwardly. When Misaka Mikoto's attention was not on him, he made an apologetic expression at Guhan, indicating that he did not want to do this to Guhan, but was forced by Misaka Mikoto.
As for the most important person, Artoria, she was expressionless the entire time. She looked into the distance as if her heart had died. She did not even look at Guhan.
"Hmph!
Sister Artoria, this guy really doesn't care about you. He's just lying to you. Otherwise, how could he be so calm? He didn't even ask why! "
Misaka Mikoto said to Artoria unhappily when she saw that Guhan did not respond to her provocation and anger.
"It's not that I don't care about you, but I've thought through everything. There's no need to ask anymore!" Guhan replied calmly.
"You're lying. How could you have thought through everything!" Chidou Isuzu chimed in.
"Forget it, there's no need for us to continue this conversation!"
Guhan sighed, then turned to Liu Bang and said, "Mr. Liu Bang, what's your decision?"
"What decision?
What decision do I have? "Liu Bang pretended to be confused.
"Of course, you're going to follow me or them!"
Guhan did not give Liu Bang a chance to play dumb. He went straight to the point. "Are you going to follow me to the library, or are you going to follow them?"
"This … this … this …" Liu Bang was completely at a loss. After hesitating for a long time, he said helplessly, "I'm going to follow his lead. After all, I need the help of his Fantasy Killer!"
"I see!"
After listening to Liu Bang's words, Guhan did not try to persuade him anymore. He only quietly added, "You can go with them, but tell me the way to the library.
Then, you can go. "
"This … this … this …" Liu Bang stammered again.
"Did the librarian tell you that only six people can leave this place? That's why you won't allow a second team to interfere with you, right?!" Before Liu Bang could finish, Guhan cut to the chase.
