"You cannot kill me, and my birth was to complete Nuwa's task. If you cannot tear open the talisman, then I will speak to Sun Wukong."
The Mother of Blue Star spoke these words with a blank expression. She was not afraid of death; she was born to complete the task entrusted to her by Nuwa. If it was not completed, it was almost the same as death.
Chen Lan looked into her emotionless eyes, knowing she was serious, and remained silent.
"I'll give it a try." Chen Lan didn't say much but turned to look at Blue Star, at the immense talisman adhered to Blue Star's surface, invisible to its inhabitants, with runes that he still couldn't understand.
"Nuwa once said that this talisman is Blue Star's last hope. It can help Blue Star stay out of danger for a while." The Mother of Blue Star noticed Chen Lan's confusion and explained.
Upon hearing this, Chen Lan became even more determined that he must tear open the talisman.
He stepped forward, spiritual power gathering in his right hand, and struck toward the talisman with a mighty grasp.
"Shatter!"
Spiritual power conjured a giant golden hand, sweeping towards the talisman, attempting to tear it apart.
BOOM!!!
At the instant the giant hand touched the talisman, a horrifyingly strong talismanic power erupted from within, shaking the cosmos. Chen Lan's body shuddered violently, his feet steadying him as his brows furrowed.
The Heavenly Dao didn't fare so well, being instantly repelled millions of meters away before barely coming to a stop, hurriedly flying back.
"Such terrifying talisman power; my internal organs are in pain. Who exactly is this Nuwa?" The Heavenly Dao clutched his chest, his face a bit pale.
The sensation just now was not pleasant, intriguing him about the Nuwa frequently mentioned by the Mother of Blue Star. What kind of powerful being could set such a terrifying talisman?
"Nuwa, someone whose true strength I am also unclear about, is known to exist in a more distant era called the Ancient Immortal Era. It's rumored that she sculpted humanity and that when Blue Star's sky once broke, she used the Divine Stone to repair it, thereby giving birth to the Heavenly Dao, making her the mother of the Heavenly Dao."
"Huh?" The Heavenly Dao paused, looking at the Mother of Blue Star. How come he suddenly gained a mother?
This was too ridiculous.
Although he didn't know where he came from, he was sure Nuwa hadn't given birth to him, but since the Mother of Blue Star said so, she probably wasn't lying. Perhaps the first Heavenly Dao was indeed created by Nuwa.
On the other side, Chen Lan felt uneasy, not physically, but emotionally, as no amount of spiritual power he used or his utmost efforts could tear apart the talisman. Could it only be Sun Wukong?
Suddenly, a light bulb went off in his head. If the talisman could only be Sun Wukong, then let him completely change it!
Chen Lan paused, and seeing this, the Mother of Blue Star casually said, "I told you long ago, only Sun Wukong can..."
Before she finished her sentence, the Mother of Blue Star showed an unprecedented expression of surprise, as Chen Lan waved his large hand, a red light flowed down his arm, and he coldly shouted, "Transform!"
He was going to change the essence of this talisman. What fate, what Sun Wukong, was nonsense. Sun Wukong's life is his own; it is not some predestined fate, nor is he the only one who needs to sacrifice!
"What are you doing? You're changing the essence of the talisman?!"
"That's right, I'm altering this mistaken option. The answer shouldn't be this," Chen Lan grinned, increasing the transformative Dao power, cold sweat slowly forming on his forehead.
Changing the talisman left by Nuwa, ha, that sounded like quite the challenge.
Boom boom boom!
As Chen Lan altered the essence of the talisman, the talisman continually unleashed talismanic power, resonating through the cosmos, roaring over Blue Star. Countless people could feel the impact from outer space, becoming momentarily confused and anxious.
Could it be that the Desolate Celestial Realm has come down again?
Meanwhile, Sun Wukong, leading others to rescue people, looked up at the sky, seeing Chen Lan, the Heavenly Dao, and the Mother of Blue Star in space, and frowned.
"Is Chen Lan breaking the talisman?"
For some reason, Sun Wukong felt like something was gradually easing within him. That feeling was wonderful, like a shackle binding his soul was slowly falling away. Somehow, he felt much more at ease.
What he didn't know was that his great causation was being slowly transferred onto Chen Lan himself. Once this causation no longer belongs to Sun Wukong, the world truly opens wide, allowing him to wander and fly freely.
Originally, Sun Wukong's fate was destined for sacrifice, tearing the talisman apart, remembered by the world—a fitting end to his life, the conclusion of his life's script.
But now, Chen Lan intended to become the writer, rewriting his script, allowing his ending to no longer be defined or arranged by others, enabling his own life!
"Great Saint, what's wrong?" the Heaven-Howling Dog asked, approaching Sun Wukong.
"Nothing, let's continue rescuing people, taking them all to the Ghost Realm; Blue Star is no longer a place to remain," Sun Wukong shook his head and said.
"Okay." Heaven-Howling Dog nodded.
Now that Blue Star has been entirely exposed, more than just the Desolate Celestial Realm will come in the near future. Other worlds will aim to devour this fertile planet, necessitating finding a new home in another world.
...
"You're insane. By changing the talisman's essence, you have to bear Sun Wukong's causation. His destiny entails a certain death. If this falls upon you, there will be a death tribulation you cannot solve. Are you not afraid of dying?"
The Mother of Blue Star lashed out, more unhinged than ever before, feeling that this Taoist Saint in front of her was truly insane.
"Death tribulation? I've faced many death tribulations in my life and have broken through them all. Besides, the path of cultivation goes against the heavenly order—if I fear death, why seek to achieve immortality?" Upon hearing this, Chen Lan laughed, strengthening the transformative Dao power, cold sweat increasingly dotting his forehead.
This talisman, created by Nuwa, is no small feat to utterly change its essence.
"You truly are a madman. A kind reminder: this might anger Nuwa, and then it won't be merely a death tribulation,"
"I've met Nuwa."
Chen Lan's casual statement left the Mother of Blue Star stunned.
"You've met Nuwa?"
"Yes, she once helped me resolve a crisis, and I'm very grateful to her, but I believe she would not blame me."
If helping a brother is wrong, then he is willing to bear the mistake.
The Mother of Blue Star was left speechless, eventually just sighing: "If so, then do as you will. I've said all that I needed to say."
"No worries, I'm already entangled with causation, and this one doesn't mean much to me," Chen Lan grinned.
The Mother of Blue Star was slightly taken aback; for some reason, seeing Chen Lan's smile made her feel desolation, and loneliness.
