"I see."
Chenxiang laughed and then said, "Death God, please end this conversation."
As soon as he finished speaking, the fire mirror floating in the cave slowly dissipated.
"Chenxiang, Chenxiang?" Outside the cave, Qin Yao called out twice again. Seeing that the other party still did not respond, he knew that the third level of the test should have begun.
He had nothing to worry about.
Because he was sure that he could take care of the child better than Liu Yanchang in the original novel. If Chenxiang in the original novel could pass the test, there was no reason why the child he took care of would not pass the test.
Not to mention, Chenxiang also has the protagonist's halo...
"Boy, have you thought it through?" asked the God of Death in the cave.
Chen Xiang nodded silently: "I have thought it through. I am willing to give up my entire lifespan in exchange for the chance for you to hand over the Axe of Creation to my father."
"There is no medicine for regret in the world. I'll give you another quarter of an hour to think about it." said the God of Death.
Chen Xiang: "No, please take my life. My life was given by my parents, and I am willing to give my life for them."
"Well then," said the Grim Reaper, "come here and place your hands on these skulls. I will drain your life force."
After hearing what he said, Chenxiang suddenly realized that the god of death was not really trying to scare him, this was a real deal.
But it doesn't matter, he wasn't joking, what he said just now was from the heart.
Soon, Chenxiang strode to the skull stone platform and placed his hand on it.
In an instant, he clearly felt the loss of vitality in his body, and even felt his own weakness.
Although there was no change in the immortal energy in his body, the feeling of old age was particularly obvious.
Soon, he saw wrinkles on his hands and gray hair.
Gradually, his eyesight became more and more blurred, his waist became more and more hunched, and all kinds of old age pains appeared, tormenting his mind.
Chenxiang's wrinkled cheeks remained calm, quietly waiting for death to come.
He is indeed afraid of death.
Who isn’t afraid?
But there are always some emotions that transcend life and death.
"Poor child, I'll give you one last chance. Do you want to stop making such efforts? Death is like the extinguishing of a light. Once you die, there will really be nothing left. You won't even stay in other people's memories for a long time." After waiting, the voice of the god of death sounded again.
Chen Xiang felt like he was about to collapse, so he closed his eyes. "Thank you for your kindness, but I have made up my mind. Love is mutual. My mother saved me and my father by imprisoning herself. My father gave me all the love a father could give. He is the most open-minded father I have ever met. Today, it is time for me to repay them."
Death whispered, "Love transcends death."
Chenxiang: "Love allows people to face death calmly."
The God of Death said no more, and Chenxiang didn't want to talk either.
But as he waited, he found that something seemed wrong.
Why am I not dead yet?
Finally, he slowly opened his eyes and found that he was no longer in the cave, but in front of a mountain.
The most important thing is that he has regained his youthful body and is full of vitality.
From a physical perspective, this vitality represents life force.
"Is this another illusion?" Chenxiang murmured to himself.
"It's not an illusion."
The voice of the God of Death resounded through the heavens and earth: "Congratulations on passing this test. Before I lend you the Axe of Creation, there is something I need to explain to you."
"You say." Chenxiang said.
Death: "First and foremost, the Axe of Creation is loaned to you, not given to you. So after you rescue your mother and modify the Heavenly Law, you must return it. Second, while you possess the Axe of Creation, you must not use it to do anything unkind or unjust, or we three gods will not let you go."
Chenxiang breathed a sigh of relief.
He thought it was some kind of condition.
That's it, no pressure at all to agree.
"I promise to return the divine axe and refrain from doing anything unkind or unjust."
"boom."
As soon as he finished speaking, the mountain in front of him cracked open, and a brilliant golden light suddenly burst out, rushing straight into the sky, shaking the Heavenly Palace.
"What's going on?" Queen Mother asked with wide eyes in Lingxiao Palace.
In front of all the gods, the Jade Emperor quickly took out the Haotian Mirror and cast a spell to reveal the source of the turmoil. However, in the picture, Chenxiang was holding a huge axe in both hands and slowly raising it up.
"The Axe of Creation." exclaimed the Jade Emperor.
The Queen Mother's expression changed drastically, and she immediately ordered: "All gods, listen to my command! Descend to the mortal world immediately and suppress Chenxiang."
"Have you forgotten the bet you made with me, Your Majesty?" At this moment, a holy white lotus suddenly floated over from afar and landed outside the Lingxiao Palace. The white-dressed Bodhisattva standing on the lotus raised her eyes and asked.
Queen Mother: “…”
world.
Kunlun Mountains.
After getting the magic axe, Chenxiang released his divine sense and scanned the surroundings, only to find that this place was the back of the nameless cave.
He was about to go back with the divine axe, but he saw his father already stepping on the void and striding towards him, obviously attracted by the vision of the divine axe appearing in the world.
"Dad, I got the Axe of Creation." Seeing him coming, Chenxiang said excitedly.
Qin Yao smiled and said, "I told you long ago that you can do it."
Chenxiang nodded heavily: "Let's go to Huashan quickly."
"Okay." Qin Yao agreed immediately.
Heaven.
Lingxiao Palace.
The Queen Mother suddenly stood up and said calmly, "Jade Emperor, I will take my leave."
"The Queen Mother wants to go to Mount Hua, right?" Guanyin suddenly smiled and said, "Why not go together?"
Queen Mother: “…”
"Let's go together, let's go together." Nezha shouted, fearing that the world would be in chaos.
The Queen Mother was furious and raised her hand to slap Nezha: "What are you shouting about?"
The Jade Emperor cast a spell to stop her attack: "Queen Mother, what are you doing?"
The Queen Mother was stunned, then realized that she had been a little impulsive.
Nezha blinked, then realized the truth and felt scared, and a cold sweat broke out on his back.
If I were to be attacked by the Queen Mother with hatred, I would probably be skinned alive even if I didn't die.
Li Jing knelt on the ground and kowtowed, saying, "Please calm down, Your Majesty."
"Please calm down, Your Majesty." The Four Heavenly Kings said.
"Please calm down, Your Majesty." A group of immortals followed suit.
They were asking the Queen to calm down, but anyone could see that they were very angry about the Queen Mother's casual behavior of attacking the ministers in the Lingxiao Palace.
The Queen Mother's face turned pale and red, and she didn't know what to say.
The Jade Emperor exhaled lightly and said, "Everyone, get up and continue watching."
The gods did not dare to disobey the Jade Emperor's words and stood up one after another...
world.
Huashan.
As two streams of light descended, Qin Yao and Chenxiang immediately revealed their whereabouts in front of the Huashan Immortal Palace.
"The Divine Axe of Creation?" In front of the gate, Sun Wukong looked at the axe in Chenxiang's hand and said.
Chen Xiang's face was filled with joy as he raised his axe and said, "That's right, Holy Buddha, we really have the Axe of Creation."
"Then let's quickly split this Qiankun Bowl open." Xiaoyu said with a smile.
Sun Wukong hurriedly said: "We have to leave here first, so that Chenxiang will not dare to take action."
Bull Demon King, Princess Iron Fan, Xiaoyu and others immediately laughed.
Afterwards, all the gods and demons flew out of Mount Hua. Chenxiang stood in the void, took a deep breath, and continuously infused his magic power into the magic axe. The magic axe suddenly lit up with a bright light.
"Can you split it?"
In heaven, all the gods watching this scene had the same thought.
"Ah~~" After all his magic power was poured into the magic axe, Chenxiang shouted loudly and used his last strength to chop it down fiercely.
"bass!"
A beam of axe light rushed out at high speed and chopped fiercely at the Qiankun Bowl.
The Qiankun Bowl seemed to have foreseen the danger, and at the same time, it shone brightly, condensing layer after layer of light and shadow, and stubbornly withstood the axe light.
The exhausted Chenxiang fell from a high altitude, and Qin Yao immediately flew up and caught his body in mid-air.
"Dad, we have clearly obtained the Axe of Creation, so why can't we split open the Qiankun Bowl?" Chenxiang said in despair.
Qin Yao said: "That's because your magic power is far inferior to that of the Lord of Qiankun Bowl."
In the original novel, Chenxiang enjoyed a gourd of elixir alone, and later realized the heart of universal love and obtained the telekinesis and divine power of the gods, but he still could not hold the Axe of Creation and split the Qiankun Bowl. In the current world, with Qin Yao's protection, Chenxiang is weaker than the original deity in the same period.
"What should we do?" Chenxiang said helplessly.
Qin Yao thought for a moment, then reached out and patted his head: "Take a break. Later, we, father and son, will attack together and see if we can split it open."
"Okay, Dad." Chenxiang quickly sat cross-legged and silently recovered his magic power.
Heaven.
The Queen Mother breathed a sigh of relief, but when she looked around, she found that many of the gods had a look of disappointment on their faces.
"What are you disappointed about?"
Faced with the Queen Mother's questioning, the gods who showed disappointment all managed their expressions, kept a straight face and said nothing.
The Queen Mother snorted coldly, but she was unable to punish these righteous gods in heaven who were listed on the List of Gods with false charges.
Not long after.
Outside Mount Hua, among the sea of clouds, Chenxiang, who had recovered all his magical powers, enlarged the Axe of Creation. Together, the father and son held the axe and chopped towards the Qiankun Bowl.
However, after a loud bang, the Qiankun Bowl still withstood the Kaitian Axe, and the father and son fell from the clouds together.
Xiaoyu and Niu Mowang flew out together, the former caught Chenxiang and the latter caught Qin Yao.
"The Queen Mother is not here, but the spiritual power left in the bowl is so powerful?" Princess Iron Fan said in shock.
The old fox sighed, "She is the Queen of Heaven after all. People only remember her power, but forget that it was gained through strength. Looking across the Three Realms, there are only a handful of people who can surpass her in terms of magical power."
Princess Iron Fan remained silent.
After hearing these words, the gods in heaven fell silent.
What does it mean to wake someone up from a dream with a single word?
That's roughly it.
At the front of the gods, Yang Jian took a deep breath, suddenly turned into a silver light, and flew out of Lingxiao Palace at a high speed.
"Yang Jian, where are you going?" the Queen Mother asked.
Yang Jian turned a deaf ear to her shouting and went straight down to the mortal world, arriving in front of Mount Hua, in front of the sea of clouds where Liu and his son were.
Seeing him coming, Bull Demon King, Old Fox, Princess Iron Fan and others suddenly became nervous and picked up their weapons.
Qin Yao silently recovered his magic power and said softly, "No need to be like this, we are one family."
"One of our own, one of our own! I knew this would be the case!" In Lingxiao Palace, the Queen Mother roared angrily.
The gods were speechless, with mixed emotions.
Even though they had some guesses about this before, they were still shocked when they actually saw this scene.
Yang Jian, you are risking your life and future to help Liu and his son.
"What are you standing there for? Greet someone." On earth, above the clouds, Qin Yao raised his hand and slapped Chenxiang on the back of the head.
Chenxiang was awakened by the beating and quickly said, "Uncle."
Erlang Shen smiled and nodded at him, but when he looked at Qin Yao, his smile faded: "Where is the Precious Lotus Lantern? With the help of the divine power within the Precious Lotus Lantern to drive the Axe of Creation, I will definitely be able to split the Qiankun Bowl."
Qin Yao shook his head.
Erlang Shen immediately understood what he meant.
Even with the gods' help, it wasn't entirely without cost for the father and son to get this far.
"You guys take a break, we'll chop together later." Yang Jian said after a moment of silence.
"Yang Jian!!!"
At this moment, the Queen Mother's voice suddenly came down from the Ninth Heaven: "If you come back now, I can still forgive your sins."
Yang Jian raised his head to look at the sky and said in a serious tone, "From today on, I am no longer the God of Justice in Heaven, but Yang Erlang of Guanjiangkou."
"Okay, okay, okay." The Queen Mother was shaking with anger, but she couldn't take action against the traitor in front of Guanyin and the gods.
Half a day later.
Qin Yao and Chenxiang recovered their magic power. The three gods held the Axe of Creation together, gathered all their strength, and chopped fiercely at the Qiankun Bowl.
“Whoosh.”
The golden axe shadow flew out of the air and chopped down the Qiankun Bowl in mid-air.
In an instant, the earth shook and the Qiankun Bowl exploded. The top of the mountain was like countless fireworks, dazzling and brilliant.
In the Lingxiao Palace, looking at this magnificent scene, the Queen Mother's face turned pale and her hands suddenly clenched together tightly.
The power of Erlang Shen is beyond the reach of Liu's father and son. With the help of Erlang Shen, unless they go down to the mortal world and control the Qiankun Bowl themselves, the Qiankun Bowl will not be able to withstand the Axe of Creation.
But at this moment, how could she leave Lingxiao Palace?
“It exploded, it exploded.”
In front of Mount Hua, above the clouds, looking at the dazzling fireworks, the Bull Demon King excitedly hugged the figure beside him.
But whether intentionally or unintentionally, he hugged not Princess Iron Fan on his left, but the old fox on his right.
"Cough! Cough! Cough!" On his left, Princess Iron Fan's face turned green and she coughed loudly.
Each cough was made with all his strength, as if he wanted to cough out his internal organs.
The old cow was a little embarrassed and let go of the old fox as if he had been electrocuted.
The old fox was at a loss. This was the first time in hundreds of years that she was hugged by a man... oh no, a male demon.
High in the sky.
Yang Jian, who still had some strength left, held Qin Yao in his left hand and Chenxiang in his right hand, and brought them to the Huashan Immortal Palace.
The Bull Demon King said quickly: "Hurry up and follow us, maybe we will be of use to you."
Princess Iron Fan said angrily, "The Qiankun Bowl has been split apart. How can we be of any use to you under the Axe of Creation?"
But despite what she said, she still descended from the clouds and did not leave in a petty manner.
In front of the immortal palace, Yang Jian raised his hand and shot out a ray of immortal light, and the stone gate opened in response to the spell.
Inside the Immortal Mansion, Yang Chan, who was sitting on a circular platform in the lake, suddenly raised her head and saw the three most important people in her life slowly appear before her...
