Chapter 5158: No Meaning
Fang Yu saw a green leaf in front of him.
On the green leaf, stood a figure wearing a cloak.
This figure was not so similar to Daotian in his memory.
But for some reason, at a glance, he knew... this figure was his master Daotian!
"... Master?"
Fang Yu hesitated, but still spoke.
He was not sure whether he was seeing an illusion or a real scene!
After hearing his voice, the figure in front turned around.
Fang Yu saw an old and vicissitudes of life face.
He had never seen this face before.
The master in his memory had never been so old, and there was always a gentle smile on his face.
But this was Daotian.
Although his face became old, Fang Yu could still recognize it at a glance.
"Xiao Yu, you are here."
Daotian smiled and said.
Fang Yu looked at Daotian, and after a moment of silence, he said: "Master, I am here."
Before meeting Daotian, Fang Yu had a lot to say.
But after seeing him, he didn't know what to say.
"It's really helpless to meet you in this situation." Daotian said, "But I have to meet you."
"Master, I can save you, and we'll talk later." Fang Yu said.
"No." Daotian shook his head gently and said, "You don't need to save me, and I can't get out either."
This sentence made Fang Yu tremble in his heart.
"Why..." Fang Yu asked.
"The reason... is complicated." Daotian replied, "But I hope you can accept it."
"I can't accept it." Fang Yu replied, "Before I found you, I was only worried about one thing... that you are no longer in the world. Now that I am sure you are still alive, why can't I save you?"
"Whether I leave here or not, it won't change anything." Daotian said.
Fang Yu was silent.
"I know you have done a lot of things and shouldered more and more responsibilities." Daotian said, "You are too tired."
"I'm not tired." Fang Yu replied, "You are my master, and it is natural for me to save you."
Daotian raised a hand, as if he wanted to touch Fang Yu.
However, Fang Yu is now just a virtual body and cannot be touched.
Daotian's hand stopped in mid-air and then retracted.
"I am your master. Since I led you on the path of cultivation, I have been responsible for you." Daotian said slowly, "Xiaoyu, I have always hoped that you will become a happy person, worry-free, even if your cultivation cannot be improved, it doesn't matter."
"But fate is always unsatisfactory. You are forced to bear a lot of responsibilities and endure pain that you should not have."
"Losing everyone around you is painful for me." Fang Yu replied, "So Master, I must save you."
Daotian smiled and said, "Why are you still as stubborn as before?"
Fang Yu did not speak.
"Xiaoyu, others have a lot of expectations for you, but I don't." Daotian said, "There is nothing you have to do. You should follow your inner thoughts. Things you don't want to do... don't have to do."
This sentence reminded Fang Yu of the scene when he saw the will left by Daotian on Earth.
At that time, Daotian also said something similar.
"Master, I do everything I want to do." Fang Yu replied, "No one is forcing me."
"This is the best." Daotian smiled.
"Master, I will still come to save you." Fang Yu said firmly, "I have found my senior brother, and now I know your situation, I will never give up, no matter what you say... I will not give up."
"I can't leave here." Daotian shook his head and replied, "It's not about whether you save me or not, but I can't leave here. Once I leave, I will die."
Fang Yu's heart suddenly shook.
"Xiao Yu, don't waste your time here with me." Daotian said, "You said you found Daochen, very good, you brothers should take care of each other."
Fang Yu looked at Daotian and was speechless.
"Xiao Yu, do what you like." Daotian said.
"I don't like anything." Fang Yu replied, "I have done so many things, just hoping that the people around me can..."
"Live for yourself." Daotian said, "You always consider others, I hope you can consider yourself more."
Fang Yu looked at Daotian.
He remembered what Daotian's will said at the beginning.
"Master... did you see that person later?" Fang Yu asked.
"That person..." Daotian's face changed slightly, and he shook his head, "I'm afraid I will never see him again."
"I can get to where I am today, it's all arranged by that person." Fang Yu said, "Then... is it also arranged by that person that you are trapped here?"
Daotian was stunned for a moment and replied: "No... This is my fate, it has nothing to do with that person."
"What fate, why do you use this word to explain everything?" Fang Yu asked, "I don't believe in fate, I just hope that everything I do is meaningful. I came here to save you, Master. If I can't do it, then my previous efforts are meaningless."
Daotian seemed a little absent-minded.
He looked straight at Fang Yu, his eyes full of pity.
"But, Xiaoyu... not all efforts are meaningful." Daotian sighed and said, "I understand your feelings, but... there is no other way. Many times, many things are meaningless and no one can change them."
"I know you have a lot of dissatisfaction... and I can't explain everything to you clearly."
"After meeting me, go back to the ancestral star of the human race and find the Heavenly Emperor Sutra. There... there will be the answer you want."
