The Will of Heaven, the Outer Starry Sky
***
When Cui Heng's aura came out of the Grotto-Heaven, Jiang Caiyun had sensed its existence.
However, at that moment, he did not believe it.
In his understanding, Cui Changsheng was already dead. He personally buried her. This friend that he cherished so much no longer existed.
However, the aura was very similar.
When Cui Heng appeared, he looked at the figure in the sky and grew increasingly confused.
Cui Changsheng and Cui Heng looked different.
When Cui Heng changed his identity to understand the law of order, he naturally changed his appearance and temperament. However, since Cui Changsheng was the identity he had prepared for, he was similar to himself in many aspects.
Therefore, after Jiang Caiyun saw Cui Heng, he really felt that his friend had returned from the dead.
However, before Cui Changsheng died, he was only at the Xiantian realm. How could he be such a powerful supreme existence?
He could not understand this situation.
Now, Cui Heng had appeared before him.
At this moment, he finally believed that the supreme existence in front of him was clearly a close friend whom he had personally buried.
For a moment, Jiang Caiyun's heart became extremely complicated.
Cui Heng stood there and looked at Jiang Caiyun gently. He smiled and said, "How are you?"
“...” Jiang Caiyun fell silent upon hearing this. He stared at Cui Heng silently for a long time without saying anything. After a long while, he sighed softly and said, "Who's Cui Changsheng."
“Cui Changsheng is me.” Cui Heng slightly nodded before shaking his head gently. “But I'm not Cui Changsheng.”
Cui Changsheng was part of his cultivation process, so Cui Changsheng's identity was part of him. However, Cui Heng could not possibly be on par with Cui Changsheng.
This is the difference between part and whole.
“Did you deliberately make Cui Changsheng stop cultivating and die when his age runs out?” Jiang Caiyun asked.
"No." Cui Heng shook his head and said, “Cui Changsheng's identity was never intended to surpass the 12 realms of the Mortal Realm from the very beginning. The result of this identity has been decided since the beginning.”
"..." - ".Jiang Caiyun was silent for a long time again. He closed his eyes gently, as if he was calming his emotions, and slowly said, "Is this the cultivation method of the high realms?"
“No, this is the cultivation method I found myself.” Cui Heng shook his head. His cultivation method was very different from the high-level cultivation methods in this world.
"No." Cui Heng shook his head and chuckled. “After your soul has been perfected, there will be no situation that confuses your understanding. Once you cultivate the Dao Seed, you will naturally understand it.
After refining the Dao Seed, one would become a Golden God.
"…I understand." Jiang Caiyun's brows suddenly loosened. He bowed respectfully to Cui Heng and smiled very gently. “Thank you for your guidance, Senior.”
"Oh?" This time, Cui Heng was stunned. He assessed Jiang Caiyun slightly and nodded with a smile. “This is of course for the best."
Jiang Caiyun's sudden change in attitude shocked him.
He was even ready to explain the concept of cultivation to Jiang Caiyun.
As Cui Changsheng, he knew the relationship of the two very well.
Although they do not have romantic feelings for each other, they are close friends.
After Cui Changsheng died, Jiang Caiyun stood in front of his grave for a month before leaving
Such emotions were not something that could be muted with a few words.
He didn't expect her to think about it.
"However, I have a question for Senior," Jiang Caiyun said suddenly.
"Please talk." Cui Heng slightly nodded.
“Thank you, Senior. It's like this.” Jiang Caiyun bowed respectfully and said in a low voice, “Actually, at first, my heart was filled with confusion and doubt.”
“I even want to take your clothes and ask why. Why are you lying? Why did you fake your death? Aren't we close friends before?”
"But when you actually stood in front of me and explained to me that he was you, and you weren't him, and his life was doomed, I suddenly understood."
“My good friend Cui Changsheng has died. He followed the trajectory of his destiny and completed his mission.”
“I've buried him with my own hands and stopped his life completely. From then on, Cui Changsheng no longer existed in the world. He only lives in my memory.”
“However, this also raises doubts in my heart. Since Cui Changsheng's life has been arranged, could it be that everything between you and me has been arranged?”
“Is there a faint will of the heavens that tinkers with invisible threads and controls the fate of all living beings? My land is low and I cannot understand it. Senior, please give me enlightenment.
"The will of heaven, destiny ..." Cui Heng's gaze turned calm as he thought hard. He suddenly looked up and then looked at Jiang Caiyun in front of him.
After a while, he shook his head and said frankly, “It is difficult to ask about the will of heaven since ancient times. I can't understand it either.”
Even for Cui Heng, who had broken through to the Soul Formation realm, the will of the heavens still existed only in concept and was filled with the unknown.
