Chương 165: 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 for two days.

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 Temple of the Three Holy Mothers 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; there are only cases of demotion, promotion, or the death of a deity. Yang Jian has certainly set a precedent.

Chang'e on the other side quickly noticed her situation, because her divinity was disappearing.

The divine blessing 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 only be 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 God of Justice? How could you be suddenly stripped of your divine office?" Chang'e, being a true best friend, immediately wanted to stand up for her.

"It's really nothing. I resigned from my position as the Holy Mother of 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 divine 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?

So it wasn't appropriate to tell Chang'e that he planned to run away.

Although Chang'e is the Goddess of the Moon, she is not very powerful and can hardly be considered an ancient god.

We can't bring trouble to Chang'e.

Now that she has been relieved of her divine duties, Yang Chan has 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 cause and effect?

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, how could he possibly stay here alone with Xiao Yao?

Although Xiao Yao was reluctant to part with her new playmate, Jade Rabbit, there was nothing she could do; Richard was also planning to leave this world.

When I came here, I was too naive. I thought that with my strength, I could at least contend with the powerful beings 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 cause and effect and destiny.

They were tricked without even knowing how.

Although with his strength, he wouldn't be tricked into 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 Three Holy Mothers 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 front of the Temple of the Three Holy Mothers.

Xiao Yao retracted the clone that had stayed behind.

Yang Chan looked at the Temple of the Three Holy Mothers in front of her with some emotion, as she had stayed 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 can be said that she has spent most of her life here, and the thought of leaving inevitably makes her feel a little sad.

It's still unknown who the next deity to be enfeoffed in the Huashan area 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 celestial hound, Xiaotian.

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 meeting 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 fellow 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 group of 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 was completely changed. Liu Yanchang was unaware of the situation, but the Third Holy Mother had already run away, and Chenxiang was completely gone.

The story of Chenxiang rescuing his mother is even more unfounded. It's just unknown how the relationship between Heaven and Buddhism will develop from here on out.

Will Yang Jian be able to find out 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 practically become the main gathering place for the group members. In recent years, very few native gods have ascended from the mainland, not even as many as the group members and their families who have come here.

In addition, the Silver Dragon King and his band of ferocious beasts together make up the majority of the power in the God Realm.

Having firmly established control over the divine realm, they refrained from causing trouble in the various lower realms, choosing instead to cultivate within it. Occasionally, a few individuals would arrange to descend to the lower realms together, experiencing a miniature version of the multiverse.

After Yang Chan arrived, the place became even more lively.

Not long after she arrived, she fell in love with the divine position here. There were no constraints, and she didn't have to do any work. She could just focus on comprehending the fundamental laws.

When you no longer wish to hold this divine position, you can simply descend to the mortal realm and find someone you find agreeable to pass the position on to.

She took over the position of God of Life, which was passed down from the Slug Fairy.

After spending several years in the Douluo God Realm, the Slug Immortal finally digested the corresponding fundamental laws, and its strength increased significantly. Now, it even has the courage to face the Otsutsuki clan if it returns alone.

I was even thinking that if things got really bad, I'd just run away 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 just 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 magicians and warriors from the Panlong World, her combat power has increased immeasurably after such a long period of training.

If she could further achieve the Saintly Realm, she could even directly confront ordinary members of the Otsutsuki clan.

I wonder if the Holy Domain can still live forever without the special environment of the Panlong World?

It's probably impossible, right? After all, that's an ability granted under special rules of heaven and earth, not that the Holy Realm can achieve immortality through its own abilities.

But with the abundant vitality of the Holy Land, living for a thousand or even several thousand years is not a problem at all.

Not staying long in the Douluo God Realm, Slug hurriedly returned to the Ninja Realm after passing on his godhood to Yang Chan.

Yang Chanzhen, who wielded the Lotus Lantern, had gained considerable insights into the Dao of Life. She easily merged with the divine position and became the new generation of God-King of Life.

Xia Mi was quite welcoming to the new little sister. At first, she thought this new group member, who didn't talk much in the group, was very aloof, but she didn't expect that she wasn't aloof at all after she arrived in person.

Yang Chan was also a playful person, spending all her time playing with Xia Mi, Silver Dragon King, Wanwan, Ice Emperor, and others.

If it weren't for still thinking about his second brother, he probably wouldn't even remember the world of the Lotus Lantern anymore, quite like someone who's so happy in this world that he doesn't want to leave.

This is the kind of life immortals should enjoy! What kind of life did she live on Mount Hua?
