Qi Yu cursed the heavens, and after finishing, she turned to see Si Qing obediently following her. She couldn't help but poke him:
"I wasn't talking about you, why are you so scared!"
"I'm afraid you'll implicate the innocent…" Si Qing said pitifully, "Look, the heavens are quite pitiful too, it feels like it has no choice."
"How is the heavens pitiful!" Qi Yu couldn't help but spit at the heavens, "It's always telling me to court death!"
The sky wanted to thunder but didn't dare, and silently condensed into dark clouds.
Qi Yu looked up.
The dark clouds immediately dispersed.
Si Qing saw this scene, remembered it in his heart, and secretly grumbled that it was fortunate the heavens were not human, otherwise he might be cursed to death by his sister.
Thinking of this, Si Qing cautiously asked Qi Yu, "Then, if we don't sacrifice ourselves, will we never achieve the righteous fruit?"
"If you like that righteous fruit, then you go cultivate it." Qi Yu's face was full of resistance, "It's not like you haven't been to the 13th Heaven. Do you think that's a life for humans? That place has no human touch, no good food, and no fun. You just sit on a meditation cushion in a room for who knows how long, and once you become the Heavenly Dao, you'll probably have to accept the thoughts of all beings in the three realms, right?"
"Do you know what that means? It means you have to manage all sorts of messy things."
"Like who's general found a concubine, or which concubine caused the main wife to miscarry, or who wants to marry three wives and four concubines, or which marquis's eldest daughter was switched at birth, or the sect leader of which immortal cultivation sect harbors evil intentions."
"Think about it, think about it, you have to manage so many people in the three realms, several races, and you can't eat when they eat delicious food. And most tragically, no one worships the Heavenly Dao."
"And the most hateful thing is that you listen to the messy gossip below, and those speechless, dirty thoughts, and you can't just casually intervene to deal with them. You can only sit there and listen, and let these guys court their own death."
"Is this something a human can do?"
To be honest, before this, Si Qing had never thought so much.
Now, after hearing Qi Yu's explanation, he thought about it carefully and felt that it was indeed the case.
"Think about it, am I making a lot of sense, and is that how things are?" Qi Yu put her hands on her hips, looking fierce.
Si Qing felt that no matter if it was like this or not, he didn't dare to provoke her, so he quickly nodded in agreement.
Qi Yu walked forward with satisfaction, and then suddenly stopped again, turning to look at Si Qing, "Then, if the judge really said that, one is the Heavenly Dao and the other is the Law, if you could choose, which one would you want to be?"
Si Qing immediately fell silent upon hearing this.
If he were to become the Heavenly Dao, he would probably be completely controlled by his sister, the Law.
But if he were to become the Law, he probably wouldn't dare to do anything to his sister.
"...Are we the most troublesome combination in history?" Si Qing thought more and more and felt it was troublesome.
"What do you mean by the most troublesome in history?" Qi Yu protested, "Can you speak properly!"
"Actually, I think if I had to choose, I could choose either, it doesn't matter to me." Si Qing said this in a very calm tone.
Qi Yu was stunned, "Why do you think it doesn't matter? Don't you have a particularly preferred position?"
Heavenly Dao and Law, on the surface, both sound like they are in high positions, but in reality, they each have their own duties in the 13th Heaven.
But in terms of the amount of work, the Heavenly Dao does more.
The Heavenly Dao needs to listen to the thoughts of all beings in the three realms every day and make adjustments, punishing those who should be punished, and bringing fulfillment to those who should receive it. From time to time, it also needs to cooperate with lightning strikes to help cultivators in the mortal world.
Therefore, the Heavenly Dao needs to stay in the 13th Heaven for twelve hours a day.
But the Law is different.
The Law is merely a restraint on all beings in the three realms. In fact, there is nothing particularly to do.
As the Law, one can even go down to the mortal world incognito to see if there are any places that the Law has overlooked, and make timely adjustments.
However, in the eyes of the beings in the mountains, the Heavenly Dao and the Law are of equal status and equally arduous. Therefore, the position of the Law is sometimes quite exploitable.
"Because," Si Qing looked at Qi Yu sinisterly, "Because, if I choose the relatively easier Law, and you are also in the 13th Heaven, honestly, I'm not sure if the work of the Heavenly Dao is done by you or me."
"So, this could lead to a situation where I choose the Law, and I have to do your Heavenly Dao work, and if I choose the Heavenly Dao, you won't help me either."
Si Qing said this, and raised his hand with some helplessness, "Since the result is the same no matter which I choose, then for me, it naturally doesn't matter which I choose."
Qi Yu: "..."
She felt she could still argue a few more words, so she couldn't help but open her mouth.
Si Qing immediately retorted, "Tell me, am I right? Will you make me do your work?!"
Qi Yu: "...I"
Si Qing: "Tell the truth."
Qi Yu: "..."
This brother can't be kept, just wash him and throw him away.
