“Xi Meng, let's go.” White Soul gently patted my shoulder.
It suddenly dawned on me what I had done; I had truly made that choice, following my destiny until the end of my life.
A huge transformation, a rebirth. Perhaps after shedding all pretenses, I felt more at ease, no longer fantasizing about changing my fate, as if something was subtly altering my thoughts.
“Where are we going?”
“To the last stop, Fate Goddess Temple.”
My habitual focus sharpened again; another battle was approaching!
“It’s fine, Xi Meng, you can completely relax this time; you don’t need to do anything,” Reverse Heaven said with a smile, sensing my suddenly tense nerves.
“Really?” To be honest, I had indeed made myself overly sensitive during this time.
“Don’t worry, there’s only one thing you need to do wherever we go,” Reverse Heaven said mysteriously.
I didn’t ask further; I could roughly guess what it was, but suddenly I felt afraid.
……
Without a doubt, Fate Goddess Temple was the most beautiful palace I had ever seen here, radiating positive energy filled with sunlight. Especially when you took your first step inside, you could feel enveloped by hope and love. Compared to the previous Lord's Hall, this place represented a different level of elevation.
The Goddess of Fate reclined at the highest point of the palace, surrounded by four bizarre and hideous beasts. Despite their fierce appearance, they did not affect the atmosphere here at all; it was too peaceful.
Noble as she was, the Goddess of Fate had enchanting eyes and golden hair cascading down her back. She wore a layer of silver gauze, and a red ribbon lightly wrapped around her skirt, moving as if it had a life of its own.
She held an exquisitely crafted key in her hand, playing with it curiously, lifting it high and then lowering it. This made me pay attention to the key, wondering what was so special about it.
This time, everyone remained silent, respectfully standing in one place, waiting for the goddess to react. Looking at the scene, it was clear that this goddess held an extremely high status.
"Is there an end to life?" the Goddess of Fate slowly asked, though it was unclear who she was asking.
This wasn't a difficult question, yet no one spoke up, which puzzled me. Was it really that hard to answer?
"There is," I said.
I could clearly feel everyone shudder slightly, as if I were doing something utterly incomprehensible.
"Oh? Why?" the Goddess of Fate seemed to take an interest in my response.
"In the Three Realms, there is no immortality; one must go through the Six Paths and be reincarnated." Whether they are gods, demons, spirits, ghosts, or humans, everyone eventually reaches an end; it's just that the duration varies greatly. Who has truly achieved immortality?
"If you are reincarnated, are you still you?" the goddess asked.
I fell into silence. If I were still human as I once was, I would have immediately denied it. But after experiencing so much here, it was hard not to believe in past lives and karma. Take the White Soul beside me as an example; no matter how many times he reincarnates, he remains himself and has never changed.
"Maybe yes, maybe no—" I pondered and ended up giving such a ridiculous answer.
"Hehe, you are quite interesting," the Goddess of Fate chuckled softly.
"So how should it be?"
"Trust me, life never truly ends. Through many lives and many realms, you will always be you. The people who are meant to appear will eventually show up; what you owe and what you deserve will all come to you."
"Why am I saying this? It feels like she is saying something to me..."
"Little girl, take this key and open that door." As she spoke, the key from the Goddess of Fate slowly descended and stopped in front of me.
I turned to look at everyone; they were still in a daze, their faces showing disbelief. So, I decided not to care about them anymore and walked towards the door that was still some distance away.
With each step I took, it felt strange, constantly recalling what the Goddess of Fate had said.
So, I am still me, always me. Regardless of past lives or this life, everything I am doing now is a responsibility I must fulfill, and everyone I encounter is inevitably a part of my life.
What she wanted to tell me was that the end of a cycle is also the beginning of another. The only limitation is our self-imposed restrictions. She wanted me to see my goals and hear my own voice.
Perhaps things are not as bad as I thought; maybe there is still a chance for change?
I took the key and tremblingly inserted it into the keyhole...
No response? It won't open? How could this be?!
I twisted it back and forth, but it still wouldn't work!
I looked up at the Goddess of Fate; she wouldn't lie to me or make such a silly joke, would she?!
No, no, it still won't work!
"Your heart is empty. Only with a heart full of gratitude and the courage to pursue happiness and joy can you truly open this door."
"Happiness?" Can I still attain happiness? Don't I have to choose to give up in order to fulfill my mission?
"No one has ever said that you need to sacrifice something," the Goddess of Fate said. I understood, of course; she could see through people's hearts, and everything I thought was not hidden from her.
"But fate is already set."
"You still don't understand, there is no end to the endless. With your current mindset of completing the mission for the sake of completion, you will not be able to open this door; there is no warmth."
"Are you saying that we still have hope?"
"I didn't say anything. Since what is destined to happen will happen, why avoid it?"
"But they all say I am a disaster, and it's destined—"
"No, you are not. You are the most lovely girl in this world. You will have your own ending, whether it is happiness or sadness, it doesn't matter; you must learn to enjoy it."
...
Is it really possible? Moon—
At this moment, it felt as if the silver moon had already appeared beside me, taking my hand with a warm touch and a captivating heartbeat. I seemed to truly smell the scent of happiness.
"Click—"
The door opened...
