Chapter 149: Master Quan’s Answer
As he walked up to the door of the young monk’s room, Fike stared at bright lights within nervously.
His heart was filled with uneasiness.
Just as he was about to knock on the door…
A voice came from inside the room.
“Come in!”
When he heard it, the anxiety in his heart was instantly dispelled.
He gently pushed open the door and walked in.
Sure enough, Master Quan was sitting patiently in the room, not seeming like he was about to sleep at all.
“Master Quan, did you already know that I would come?”
Fike asked.
Master Quan didn’t shift his gaze to Fike, and only said indifferently.
“Fate and reincarnation have already decided everything. I didn’t know that you were coming. I just saw the future through the past.”
It was the same familiar, confusing manner of speech. Fike didn’t bother asking too many questions, and just looked at Master Quan with a smile.
Finally, the monk stood up and pulled out a chair, motioning for Fike to have a seat.
After Fike sat down peacefully, Master Quan continued.
“Whether it is past, present, or future gods, they too are unable to escape the fate of reincarnation. World deities are the same, so are other deities.”
“Then what about the original god?”
Fike asked.
After hearing this name again, Master Quan smiled and said.
“It seems that you are still very obsessed with this god. Although I don’t know where this god is, I know that he definitely hasn’t appeared yet, and you…”
“And me?”
“And you must have come from the future. Am I right?”
Fike nodded in surprise as he looked into Master Quan’s eyes.
Seeing that he had received an affirmative answer, the man continued.
“Over these past few days, I have already seen the world deity’s golden statue start to wither. The era of the world deities is about to pass, and a new era is about to arrive.
“In the future, people will forget the name of the world deity. They will remember a new god, with a new faith. This was the case in the past, and it will also be the case in the future.”
Fike continued to ask after hearing this.
“Then will world deities disappear?”
Master Quan shook his head and continued.
“World deities will never disappear. The past world deities will become the laws of the world, and the new gods will become the world deities. Although they will have different names, their purpose remains the same.”
Fike immediately understood the reason behind this.
“Then the original god will become the new world deity! Am I right?”
Master Quan shook his head.
“We cannot sever the connections between the new deities and the world deities. The new deities will be both themselves and world deities.”
“Could it be that the original god will be the incarnation of the world deity’s soul? Or could it be that the original god is a successor of the world deity?”
Master Quan smiled as he looked back at Fike.
“Everything is said without words.”
Fike continued to ask after receiving the master’s seemingly affirmative reply.
“Then, when will the new god appear?”
“When the rules of time are broken, the new god will lead his people to rebuild their homeland. This was the case in the past, and it will be the same in the future.”
Fike seemed to have thought of something as he continued to ask the young master.
“May I ask, Master Quan, where will this world deity go when he finally leaves?”
Master Quan raised an index finger and pointed to the sky as he spoke.
“The horizon, the other shore of the world, the place from which the sun rises.”
Fike heard this and smiled confidently before continuing.
“Then what will the new god look like?”
Master Quan said sincerely.
“The new god will look like the world deity.”
“I understand. Thank you for your guidance, Master Quan!”
At this moment, master Quan looked at Fike seriously as he added.
“A thousand years, ten thousand years, countless years ago, you asked me the same questions. And a thousand years, ten thousand years, countless years later, you will come here again, and ask me the same questions.
“You have met that girl countless times, but this is the first time you have met her.”
Fike was more than a little confused, but Master Quan did not give him a chance to ask as he continued.
“You have always been destined to meet this girl, in the same space and time. The past her will meet the future you, and the future you will look for the future her.”
Hearing this, Fike was even more perplexed.
“Young man, don’t be doubtful. All the answers will be revealed at the right time. Don’t bother your heart too much.”
“Then, Master Quan, what should I do next?”
Fike asked.
Master Quan replied quietly.
“Keep going east, wait for the current laws to be broken, wait for the birth of new ones!”
“I understand!”
Fike said firmly as he stood up and prepared to leave.
Master Quan called again.
“If you find the answers to your questions, please follow them. Your past has done the same, and so will your future.”
“You cannot change the fate of others. You can only change your own fate, understand?”
Fike was confused once again after hearing this, so he finally asked.
“Master Quan, can you speak frankly?”
At this moment, Master Quan turned around, let out a long sigh, and continued to speak.
“You already know the answers you need to find in the past, but at the same time, you still don’t know what the problem actually is.
“As for the problems you create in the future, the answer may be hidden in the past as well.”
As he spoke, Master Quan seemed like he was about to fall asleep.
After hearing his words, Fike couldn’t say anything else. He simply extinguished the lights in the room before leaving.
Walking out of the young monk’s room, Fike was still carefully considering the man’s words.
Now, not only was he puzzled about the original god, he was more confused about himself.
“What does Master Quan mean?
“Could he be talking about me and Xiao Zhao? Could it be that I already know Xiao Zhao in other timelines?
“And the original god would only appear when there’s a war in this world?”
With these doubts in mind, Fike slowly made his way back to his room with Xiao Zhao.
When he returned, he was not in the mood to sleep at all.
‘When will the original god appear? According to Master Quan, the appearance of each new god corresponds to the emergence of new rules overtaking the old.
‘Then, the appearance of the god of creation, Ogallas, should correspond to the appearance of the evil god.
‘It seems that before I can find the six divine pillars that sealed the evil god, I still need to find an important occurrence that happened in this world.’
Fike slowly fell asleep as he swirled in his thoughts.
…
In a daze, Fike only vaguely heard someone calling his name. He opened his eyes,finding Xiao Zhao waking him up.
And it was already morning.
“Fike, you really are something. Why, did you not sleep well last night? Why can’t you get up?”
Fike yawned as he murmured.
“I really didn’t sleep well last night… Sigh…”
