Departure
It has to be said that time really flies when you're in the sky.
Two days passed on Earth after Chang'e stayed there.
On this day, while the group was having a gathering in the Moon Palace, with the Jade Rabbit and Xiao Yao playing around and Chang'e even showing a rare smile, Yang Chan suddenly felt that the incense connection between herself and the Third Holy Mother Temple had been severed.
She knew that from this moment on, she was no longer the Third Holy Mother of Mount Hua.
It's a mystery how Yang Jian managed to do it. There's never been a precedent for deities being dismissed; the only exceptions are demotion, promotion, or the death of a deity. Yang Chan has certainly set a precedent.
Chang'e on the other side quickly noticed her situation, because her divinity was disappearing.
The God Position from the God of Heaven and Earth was rapidly disappearing, and she was returning to her original cultivation level.
Fortunately, she was a powerful female immortal. If she were a mortal who had been deified without any foundation, she would have been nothing more than a lonely ghost after being stripped of her divine authority.
"Third Holy Mother, what's wrong with you?" Chang'e asked in shock, thinking that something terrible had happened.
Even the Jade Rabbit was stunned. Don't underestimate it; it is also a legitimate member of the Heavenly Court and a true deity of the Heavenly Court.
"It's alright, Sister Chang'e. From today onwards, I'm no longer the Third Holy Mother. Just call me Yang Chan from now on," Yang Chan comforted her.
"Let's go, let's go to the Heavenly Court right now and ask what happened. And Yang Jian, isn't he the Judicial God of the Heavenly Court? How could you be suddenly stripped of your divine office?" Chang'e, being her best friend, immediately wanted to stand up for her.
"It's really nothing. I resigned from my position as the Third Holy Mother myself, and my second brother found a way to help me get it done," Yang Chan told the truth.
"Huh? Are you out of your mind? Why would you resign from your God Position?" Chang'e asked, puzzled.
"Sister Chang'e, just think of me as someone who's tired of being a goddess and wants to experience a different kind of life."
Yang Chan didn't say much. She still remembered Richard's warning to the Fourth Princess last time. Who knows if some powerful person could have foreseen this scene today?
Therefore, it wasn't appropriate for him to tell Chang'e that he planned to run away.
Although Chang'e is the Star Monarch of Taiyin, she is not very powerful and can hardly be considered an ancient god.
We can't bring trouble to Chang'e.
Now that she had been relieved of her divine duties, Yang Chan had no intention of staying in this world any longer.
Two days have passed in the heavens, while more than two years have passed on earth.
Liu Yanchang has already appeared; who knows how much time he has left to maneuver and evade due to the entanglements of Karma Law?
It's best to run away as soon as possible.
Not long after, Yang Chan took her leave, along with Richard and Xiao Yao. With Yang Chan gone, could he really leave Xiao Yao alone here?
Although Xiao Yao was reluctant to part with her new playmate, the Jade Rabbit, there was nothing she could do; Richard was also planning to leave this world.
I was too naive when I came here. I thought that with my strength, I could at least contend with some of the powerful figures in this world, if not dominate it.
In reality, while their relative strengths are unclear, in these Eastern worlds, one cannot survive without a thorough understanding of Karma Law and Fate.
They were tricked without even realizing it.
Although with his strength, he wouldn't be outmaneuvered to the point of losing his life; at most, he would just lose face and have to run away.
But now that Yang Chan has run away, there's no point in him staying in this world alone.
On Mount Hua, the statue of the Third Holy Mother is dim. This dimness is not the dimness seen from the perspective of mortals, but rather the absence of spiritual light. Those who have achieved spiritual cultivation can tell at a glance that there is no longer any divine spirit residing there.
Yang Chan, Richard, and Xiao Yao instantly appeared in Third Holy Mother Temple.
Xiao Yao recalled the Clone that had stayed behind.
Yang Chan looked at the Third Holy Mother Temple before her with some emotion; she had lived here for nearly a thousand years.
Not long after the end of the Investiture of the Gods war, she was named the Third Holy Mother of Mount Hua, and has protected Mount Hua for nearly a thousand years.
It's fair to say she's spent most of her life here, and the thought of leaving inevitably fills her with a sense of melancholy.
It's still unknown who the next deity to be enfeoffed in the Mount Hua Earth Boundary will be, and what their personality will be like.
Before she could finish her reflections, Yang Jian descended to the mortal realm once again with his Howling Celestial Dog.
Richard left after completing his mission, since Yang Chan would be leaving soon anyway, and he didn't need to stay in this world any longer.
The brother and sister talked for a long time that day, but I don't know what they talked about.
After seeing her second brother, Yang Chan quietly left this world and went to the Douluo God Realm. She had long been curious about this world where many friends had gathered.
Now I can finally go and meet my group members in person.
After that day, Yang Chan completely disappeared from this world, along with the Lotus Lantern. Apart from Yang Jian, no one knew where she went.
Seeing that Yang Jian wasn't worried, the relatives and friends knew that Yang Chan should be safe. Even the Fourth Princess and Chang'e immediately thought of Richard, wondering if he had gone to Chaos with her.
Does this count as eloping? Did he resign from his priesthood just to run away?
At this point, the plot of The Lotus Lantern has completely changed. Liu Yanchang is unaware of what's going on, but the Third Holy Mother has already run away, Chen Xiang is completely gone.
The story of Chen Xiang rescuing his mother is even more unfounded. It's just unknown how the relationship between Heavenly Court and Buddhism will develop from here on out.
Will Yang Jian be able to uncover the person who plotted against Yang Chan?
Anyway, Yang Chan doesn't plan to go back anytime soon; there aren't that many of her group members' worlds waiting for her to explore yet.
The Douluo God Realm has almost become the main gathering place for the group members. In recent years, very few Earth God have ascended from the mainland, not even as many as the group members and their families.
In addition, with the Silver Dragon King leading his pack of Fierce Beast, the allied faction held an absolute majority of power in the God Realm.
Having firmly established control over the God Realm, they refrained from causing trouble in the various lower realms, choosing instead to cultivate within the God Realm. Occasionally, a few individuals would arrange to descend to the lower realms together, experiencing a miniature version of the multiverse.
The place became even more lively after Yang Chan arrived.
Not long after she arrived, she fell in love with the God Position here. There were no constraints, and she didn't have to do any work; she could just focus on comprehending the Origin Laws.
When you no longer wish to hold this God Position, you can simply descend to the mortal realm and find someone you find agreeable to pass the God Position to.
She took over the God Position of Life God King, which had been passed down from the Slug Sage.
After spending several years in the Douluo God Realm, the Slug Sage finally digested the corresponding Origin Laws, and its strength increased significantly. Now, it even has the courage to face the Otsutsuki clan alone when it returns.
I was even thinking that if things got really bad, I'd just run off to another world.
It's been out for several years now, nothing major has happened in the Ninja World, right? Don't make it seem like it hasn't even gone back yet, and now it's lost its home.
I wonder if Tsunade was worried sick during the years it disappeared. Before it left, it only left Tsunade a small note, telling her that it was going out for a while and that it didn't know when it would return, so she should guard the house for it.
Tsunade should be able to hold out, right? After all, she exchanged knowledge with Richard back then.
Having obtained the cultivation methods for Mage and Warrior from the Coiling Dragon World, her combat power has increased immeasurably over the course of her long training.
If she could further achieve the Saint Domain, she could even directly confront ordinary members of the Otsutsuki clan.
The question remains: will the Saint Domain still be able to live forever without the unique environment of the Coiling Dragon World?
It's probably impossible, right? After all, that's an ability granted under special Laws of Heaven and Earth, not that the Saint Domain can achieve immortality through its own abilities.
But with the Saint Domain's abundant vitality, living for a thousand or even several thousand years is not a problem at all.
Not staying long in the Douluo God Realm, Katsuyu hurriedly returned to the Ninja World after passing on his God Position to Yang Chan.
Yang Chan, who wielded the Lotus Lantern, had gained considerable insights into the Life Path, easily merging with the God Position and becoming the new generation's Life God King.
Xia Mi was quite welcoming to the new girl. At first, she thought this new group member, who didn't talk much in the group, was aloof, but she was surprised to find that she wasn't aloof at all when she arrived in person.
Yang Chan was also a playful person, spending all her time playing with Xia Mi, Silver Dragon King, Wan Wan, Ice Empress, and others.
If it weren't for still thinking about his second brother, he probably wouldn't have even remembered the world of the Lotus Lantern anymore; he was so happy there that he forgot all about home.
This is the kind of life immortals should enjoy! What kind of life did she lead on Mount Hua?
