Yang Jian didn't delve into the details; he quickly adjusted his mindset.
"No rule should remain unchanged."
"Even the rules of heaven are the same."
"Even on earth, dynasties rise and fall, but the heavens are lifeless and rotten."
"The celestial rules that have been in use since ancient times should have been revised long ago."
"Third Sister, I need the power of the Lotus Lantern."
"Although Liu Yanchang was exceptionally skilled in martial arts, he was just an ordinary person."
"I need the incantation for the Lotus Lantern."
In fact, he now regrets giving Liu Yanchang those Immortal Pills.
Even without the Lotus Lantern, Liu Yanchang's martial arts, which surpassed his skills to the point of being almost Daoist, combined with his Pangu's Power, would be enough to make him feel troubled.
But then he also presented her with a gourd of Immortal Pill.
With the Heavenly Court having already pardoned Liu Yanchang, he needs the Lotus Lantern to widen the gap again.
"The Lotus Lantern requires the Mana of benevolence to operate," the Third Holy Mother replied. "It requires a great love for all living beings."
She believed it was true that Chenxiang had been sent to Jade Cauldron to learn martial arts.
However, she was unwilling to trust her second brother again.
Moreover, in the eyes of the Third Holy Mother, her second brother was still the same madman who had killed Nine Great Golden Crows and almost overturned the entire Heavenly Court. His Mana had nothing to do with benevolence.
"And I believe in Yanchang."
"Are you confused?!" Yang Jian feigned anger and left the cave with his hands behind his back.
"Master?" The Howling Celestial Dog, who had been waiting outside, bowed.
"It's alright, I have other plans." Erlang Shen was not disappointed; instead, he gave a cold smile.
He seemed to have expected this outcome.
"I just hope that my Third Sister won't blame me."
"I gave Liu Yanchang a chance."
"What do you mean, Master?" asked the Howling Celestial Dog.
"Everything has its limits. Being too powerful can sometimes be a bad thing," Erlang Shen said with a smile.
Liu Chenxiang was indeed pardoned, but as the Judicial Heavenly God, it would be incredibly easy for him to fabricate charges against him.
It's perfectly reasonable for a son to avenge his father, isn't it?
Moreover, neither the Jade Emperor nor the Queen Mother issued any pardon order.
The divine rule that gods and humans cannot fall in love still exists.
They believed Yang Jian's words.
I believe Liu Yanchang is dead, and I believe that the person now called Liu Yanchang is actually Liu Chenxiang.
Now, they are simply going with the flow, acknowledging the identity of 'Liu Chenxiang' Liu Yanchang, as if 'Liu Chenxiang' had never existed at all.
The story of the Third Holy Mother and Liu Yanchang never happened.
Moreover, only he, the Jade Emperor, and the Queen Mother knew about this.
Those who know about the Third Holy Mother and Liu Yanchang will lose their composure.
"Big Fool Chun, what are you doing here?"
As soon as Basil left the village, he saw Ao Chun waiting outside.
"The Bull Demon King knows that the Lotus Lantern is in your hands," Ao Chun said. "I'm here to protect you."
"Did you ask your sister?" Basil was speechless.
It's obvious that this silly Chun was sent to hold them back.
"Absolutely not!" Ao Chun, dressed in dark blue armor and wearing a magnificent crown, proudly waved the trident in his hand.
"Brother-in-law, although you are highly skilled in martial arts, you are still just an ordinary person after all."
Above the Heavenly Palace.
Something unexpected is happening to Yang Jian.
The scene at the entrance of Liujia Village is displayed in a suspended mirror.
Yang Jian had not anticipated that the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother valued Chenxiang so highly.
"That's the Great Golden Crow!" The Jade Emperor's voice trembled. "There's no mistake, it's the Great Golden Crow!"
"The dragons of the East Sea." The Queen Mother narrowed her eyes. "The Great Golden Crow fell into the East Sea," she calculated the date. "Ao Chun, the eighth prince of the East Sea."
"Well, how dare the Dragon King of the East Sea be so audacious!" The Jade Emperor's narrow phoenix eyes flashed with murderous intent. "He has actually separated me and my son for over a thousand years!"
Reincarnation does not necessarily require going through the six realms of reincarnation.
Not every newborn child has Previous Life.
Some newborns' souls are conceived and nurtured in the mother's womb.
Dragons are a special race that is automatically registered as gods upon reaching adulthood; this is the case for them.
In the Book of Life and Death, each dragon has its own page.
Therefore, the fact that the Great Golden Crow still had a trace of its soul and was reincarnated as Ao Chun was known only to the Dragon King of the East Sea, who had seen the Great Golden Crow.
"The fox's tail has been revealed," said the Queen Mother. "The mastermind behind this is likely planning to use my son as a raft. The disappearance of the Seventh Sister and the Eighth Sister, and the appearance of the Great Golden Crow as the sworn brother of the Third Holy Mother (the Queen Mother thought that Ao Chun's brother-in-law's sister referred to the Third Holy Mother)."
"They didn't know that we would pay so much attention to Liu Yanchang, which led to the discovery of my son's identity."
"Perhaps they don't even know that Liu Yanchang is actually dead, and the person in front of them is actually Liu Chenxiang."
"Is Ao Tingxin (the Fourth Princess of the East Sea) a big mouth?" the Jade Emperor asked.
In his view, the question, "Have you asked your sister?" was Liu Chenxiang's way of hinting at her own identity.
The elder sister here refers to the Fourth Princess of the East Sea.
In other words, the Fourth Princess of the East Sea also knew that Liu Yanchang was dead.
"On the condition that the Hundred Flowers Fairy doesn't find out." The Queen Mother's expression darkened.
She knew very well how big a mouth she was of this self-proclaimed title of "Queen of Flowers."
"They're heading towards Suzhou." The Jade Emperor frowned. "However, the first thing we need to deal with now is the Bull Demon King; he's got his eye on the Lotus Lantern."
"The question is, how did he know that the Lotus Lantern was in Liu Yanchang's hands (he and the Queen Mother both planned to refer to Liu Chenxiang as Liu Yanchang from now on)?"
Why would the masterminds do this?
The Queen Mother remained silent for a long time, then said, "Perhaps it is Mount Hua."
Her power and the Jade Emperor's power were transformed into the Heavenly Laws, becoming part of the world.
The part about gods and humans not being able to fall in love belongs to her.
The new Heavenly Laws hidden in the Five-Colored Stone at the foot of Mount Hua have never Human World, also because of her indifference.
Even the Jade Emperor was unaware of the existence of the new Heavenly Laws.
She took a deep breath. "There are new laws inside."
"I was originally prepared to keep it a secret from everyone and pretend it didn't exist."
"We'll just wait until the new Heavenly Laws are ready to be born."
"I don't want its Human World to force me to become an ordinary person again."
Marriages in the three realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man, and the aspect of human relations, are inherently her responsibility.
In fact, when she sensed the new Heavenly Laws, she should have taken the initiative to push them forward, instead of waiting for the so-called opportune moment to emerge and waiting for the Five-Colored Stone to melt away on its own.
The love that could melt the Five-Colored Stone must be the love of the Queen Mother, the most noble woman in the Three Realms, who holds the power over the universe.
Instead of leaving everything to the masses.
However, such a major change would force her to temporarily leave her position Queen Mother, and she could only adapt through reincarnation.
Therefore, she pretended not to know and secretly adjusted her own physical body.
Over the years, many achievements have been made.
Back then, she needed to reincarnate a hundred times.
Now, all that's needed is one reincarnation.
But even if it were only for one lifetime, she didn't want to go through it.
"I see." The Jade Emperor simply coughed.
In fact, he should have been furious and berated his colleague for being irresponsible.
But back then, when he only had Ten Great Golden Crows and ten sons, and was still the Heavenly Emperor, he was forcibly killed by the headless Xing Tian, who risked the destruction of his soul and body by carrying chains formed from the Heavenly Laws.
When he was forced to reincarnate a hundred times before he could return to the Heavenly Palace, it was the Queen Mother who accompanied him into the cycle of reincarnation.
He persisted until his last incarnation.
In that lifetime, his name was Zhang Bairen, and he had seven daughters with the Queen Mother.
In particular, this cycle is truly completely random.
Gender, age, race, and everything else are beyond our control.
He deeply understood this; he comprehended the Queen Mother's feelings.
In the awkward silence, the Queen Mother revealed her guess. "It seems that perhaps it is those Immortals and Gods who are restless and eager to reproduce now. It is not a single Great Divine Powers, but a group of Immortals and Gods."
Could the Third Holy Mother be one of them?
"She inherited the Lotus Lantern from the Goddess Nuwa, and Mount Hua, which contains the Five-Colored Stone."
"No, Liu Yanchang is dead."
"The descendants of Goddess Nuwa cannot abandon personal love for the sake of greater love."
"In her eyes, there should be no difference between big and small."
"What if it were Yang Jian?" The Jade Emperor's process was flawed, but his deduction was correct. "He has the heart to be ruthless."
"The gathering of Immortals and Gods means that they share the same general direction, but they may have different ideas during the execution process."
"Immortals and Buddhas, gods and demons are all mixed together among them."
Everyone has their own little secrets.
"Yang Jian may have wanted the reincarnation of the Great Golden Crow to become Liu Yanchang's partner, because he was unsure whether we really didn't care about Liu Yanchang's existence."
"But others may want to kill the reincarnation of the Great Golden Crow, and even the Seventh Sister and the Eighth Sister died because of this, so we should do our best to eliminate 'Liu Yanchang'."
"Then he escaped by some strange coincidence and became another Yang Jian."
"No, perhaps we can go even further and connect various neutral forces."
"Finally, they formally rebelled against Heaven and forcibly brought the new Heavenly Laws into Human World."
Yang Jian's original plan was inexplicably and almost exactly deduced by the Jade Emperor.
But the Queen Mother was puzzled. "We have clearly already pardoned them—ah, I understand now, because only Yang Jian knows this."
"He didn't tell anyone else. He probably didn't even tell the Third Holy Mother."
"It's not a bad thing for the Third Holy Mother to stay on Mount Hua."
"He must still be keeping the fact that he killed Liu Yanchang from her."
"But if she escapes..."
"He might lose this sister forever."
"But we can only apologize to Yang Jian." The Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother exchanged a smile.
"Your Majesty is wise!" "The Queen Mother is wise!"
Among the countless compliments from Immortals and Gods, Yang Jian's forced smile stood out.
All of this is because of what just happened.
The Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother publicly announced that they would pardon the Third Holy Mother, as well as her husband and children.
Previously, only a few Immortals and Gods, like the Hundred Flowers Fairy Chang'e, knew that the Third Holy Mother had violated the heavenly rules.
Therefore, most of the Immortals and Gods only learned that the Third Holy Mother had a child with a mortal when they heard that she had been pardoned.
There are quite a few immortals Immortals and Gods.
In their view, even if the Third Holy Mother is sentenced to twenty years of solitary confinement as a result.
But twenty years is just twenty days in the sky.
And his sentence is almost over, with only two days left.
Moreover, he was meditating in his own cave on Mount Hua, and people were allowed to visit him.
Many of the Third Holy Mother's friends, such as Nezha, are preparing to descend to the mortal realm to visit her in prison.
This left Yang Jian, who was still imprisoning his younger sister and had set up a barrier, in a bind.
His master, Jade Cauldron, will definitely know about this.
Now he had no reason to let Chenxiang study peacefully at Jade Spring Mountain.
Most importantly, if that bastard Liu Yanchang wants to find another opportunity to kill him, he only has two days left in heaven and two years left on earth.
By the time the Third Sister was released from prison, it was too late.
The cave in Mount Hua was bustling with activity at that moment.
The Third Holy Mother looked completely bewildered.
"So, my second brother was lying to me, and I only have to stay for two more years?"
Nezha, Nezha rarely reverted to her little girl True Form, snorted coldly, "It seems that my second brother is not completely bad after all, and is still a responsible older brother."
In her view, this was Yang Jian secretly working hard behind the scenes, begging for mercy from the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother, and saying nice things to them.
She and Yang Jian used to have a very good relationship.
They were truly friends who had faced life and death together.
But after Yang Jian abandoned his wife for the position of Judicial Heavenly God, forgot his hatred, and committed all sorts of evil deeds, she began to see Yang Jian as someone else entirely.
"Is it Second Brother?" Tears welled up in the eyes of the Third Holy Mother.
She suddenly remembered how she had glared at her second brother not long ago.
It was a sarcastic remark that he lacked the Mana of mercy.
"I really don't know how the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother agreed to this," Nezha smacked his lips.
"They've always been like this," said Chang'e, the most senior among them. "The heavenly rules are only meant to restrain us and not allow immortals to have feelings, yet they've still had so many children."
"The Seventh Princess descended to earth to be with Dong Yong, and even though she was extremely disobedient, she was only punished by facing the wall for ten years."
"What a double standard," Nezha, somewhat disappointed. "I was just thinking of going to Yangzhou to see what it's like; there are lots of beautiful women there."
"Nezha, you're still just a child," the Third Holy Mother said sternly.
She always considered herself Nezha's Nezha sister.
"And now," Nezha's voice suddenly became rough, and his delicate little face expanded like a rising loaf of bread, instantly growing from 1.2 meters to 1.7 meters tall, "I'm almost two thousand years old!"
"There's something I've wanted to say for a long time," Chang'e coughed, "Nezha, you're actually a girl."
"Impossible!" Nezha's anger surged, and he even unleashed his Wind Fire Wheels and Fire-Tipped Spear.
"How could this be?" The Third Holy Mother was even more surprised.
Because she knew Nezha when he was Nezha a child.
"Although I don't know why you've always thought you were a boy," Chang'e said with a smile, "I, who possess the Yin Power, am not mistaken. You are a girl through and through, from soul to body."
"Mommy! I want to find my mommy!" Nezha flew away from the cave.
"Fortunately, the Hundred Flowers Fairy isn't here," the Third Holy Mother said with a smile. "If she were here, everyone would know."
"What did you say?" Chang'e's smile froze.
"You don't have any secrets, do you?"
Chang'e nodded, and the Third Holy Mother's smile froze. "What about my second brother's matter?"
Chang'e nodded again.
The Third Holy Mother felt even more guilty towards Erlang Shen.
Not long ago, she swore that only she and Chang'e knew about this matter.
Now estimate
While not universally known, she is certainly familiar to most female immortals.
"Where is Yanchang?" the Third Holy Mother asked, changing the subject.
"I've already sent the Fourth Princess to handle your matter. He's on his way to Suzhou. If all else fails, you can ask the Hundred Flowers Fairy to relay the message." As Chang'e spoke, a hint of guilt appeared on her face.
She still remembered that yesterday she had secretly transformed into the likeness of the Third Holy Mother to add to the festivities.
