Chapter 539

~9 min read 1,696 words

Nezha subconsciously went to catch Tang An's hand, but when her hand touched Nezha's hand, it was scattered into stars.

Silence, stillness, astonishment...

After her brain went blank, Nezha acted like he had lost everything, going crazy to hold Tang An tightly.

But this hold only resulted in catching nothing.

Sun Wukong and Yang Jian were also watching Tang An collapse in Nezha's arms, how uncomfortable it was.

"Master..."

"No, it won't."

"She is the Heavenly Dao, she won't dissipate so easily."

Nezha watched Tang An dissipate, too late to be sad, immediately summoned the Universe Ribbon, flew into mid-air, wanting to wrap Tang An's consciousness.

How could he be willing to watch Tang An completely dissipate, no matter what the price, he had to bring her back.

But...

But the starlight of Tang An's Primordial Spirit leaving and scattering passed through the Universe Ribbon as if it were nothing, continuing to dissipate between heaven and earth.

Nezha stepped back powerlessly, "How could it be like this..."

"Map of Mountains and Rivers!" Yang Jian had also made a move, wanting to use the Map of Mountains and Rivers to wrap Tang An's collapsed Primordial Spirit.

Sun Wukong blew out his hair, turning into thousands of monkey descendants, letting them hold those stars and leave her consciousness behind.

It was just...

Whether it was the Universe Ribbon, the Map of Mountains and Rivers, or Sun Wukong's hair, none could keep those stars.

The stars passed through the Universe Ribbon and the Map of Mountains and Rivers, and also flowed away from the hands of the monkey descendants.

"Why no matter how hard we try, we can't keep you in the end..."

That kind of deep powerlessness filled everyone's chest, and the atmosphere became heavy to the point of making people unable to breathe.

"Sister!" Jiuyue cried and rushed over, but was still powerless.

Tongtian Jiaozhu came, but didn't dare to make a move.

Because the sword intent on his body was too sharp, which was harmful and not beneficial to Tang An's Primordial Spirit consciousness.

"Taiji Diagram."

Taishang Laojun made a move, wanting to use the Taiji Diagram to gather and temporarily store Tang An's consciousness.

"Kept it, kept it." Jiuyue was overjoyed, seeing Tang An's Primordial Spirit consciousness gathered into the Taiji Diagram.

But before they could be happy, those gathered Primordial Spirit consciousness completely dissipated in the Taiji Diagram...

At that moment, what was broken was more than just one person's eyes.

Despair surged like a tide, and this place fell into deathly silence.

Nezha looked at heaven and earth blankly, never feeling that the Three Realms were so suffocating and powerless.

"Gone, gone..."

"All gone... everything is gone..."

The Heaven and Earth Fetal Pearl was a supreme innate treasure left behind when Pangu opened heaven and earth.

It was also a treasure she obtained in her previous reincarnations to restart a new life for her reincarnation.

But she only used it once, and it killed Tang Zhenzhu. So, she didn't intend to use it again.

"Bodhi Patriarch, not willing to trade with me? Why bring the Fetal Pearl here today?"

Tang An didn't know the origin of Bodhi Patriarch, even if she became the Heavenly Dao, she couldn't know.

It was precisely because of this that she felt at ease handing the Heaven and Earth Fetal Pearl to Bodhi Patriarch for safekeeping. In this way, even Hongjun couldn't investigate the existence of this pearl.

It was precisely because of this that even though there was this turning point of the Heaven and Earth Fetal Pearl, even if the two Saints deduced her fate, there was still no turning point.

Bodhi Patriarch flicked his whisk, "I never trade with the Heavenly Dao, nor do I trade with all living beings."

Tang An wasn't surprised, "When I handed the Heaven and Earth Fetal Pearl to you before, I just thought about not letting Hongjun Ancestor investigate it and destroy my plan."

"For this, I even specifically guaranteed not to let Wukong be harmed, and would take the opportunity to change his destined tribulation."

"You were not willing to trade Wukong with me, but you didn't refuse to let me put the Heaven and Earth Fetal Pearl in Lingtai Fangcun Mountain."

"Now that everything is settled, you can handle the Heaven and Earth Fetal Pearl, why bother looking for me again?"

Bodhi Patriarch smiled and stroked his beard, "I didn't trade with you, you put the pearl there, for me, it's just one more mountain stone."

Tang An nodded, knowing that Bodhi Patriarch's realm was beyond the reach of ordinary people.

"Since that's the case, please ask Bodhi Patriarch to take back the Heaven and Earth Fetal Pearl." She had no intention of using the Fetal Pearl again.

As long as she didn't enter reincarnation, Tang Zhenzhu wouldn't give birth to her again. Without her as a burden, Tang Zhenzhu could live well, divorce the scumbag, and support her grandmother until she was old.

Grandma wouldn't have to send off a young person, nor would she have to work hard for her, tired out with illnesses. So much so that when she left, it was so painful.

Bodhi Patriarch didn't leave, but asked Tang An a question.

"I didn't trade with you, why did you still change Wukong's fate and take the destined death tribulation for him."

Tang An laughed, "Alas, speaking of which, I took a big advantage, we are peers."

"Wukong is not only your disciple, but also my disciple."

"What trade or not, it's actually just saying it to increase the chips. Even without a trade, I couldn't watch Wukong sacrifice in front of me and remain indifferent."

"Anyway, no matter how it changes, my ending is a dead end. Better to let one whale fall and all things live, to fulfill and change the miserable fate of more people."

Bodhi Patriarch listened to Tang An's words and nodded in appreciation.

"Do you know how strong the power of the heart is?"

"Heart?"

Bodhi Patriarch flicked his whisk, and Tang An saw everyone exhausting their Dharma power, repairing the array she had long severed.

"Nonsense, aren't they all being foolish."

Tang An looked at everyone burning their Primordial Spirits and consuming Dharma power for an impossible result, how could there be no emotion in her heart.

"The power of the heart is very strong, the obsession generated by the heart can also be big or small."

"Small to just a bite of food in the eyes of mortals, or big to you experiencing thousands of hardships, not knowing how many reincarnations, just to change your own fate, and also changed the original fixed number of the Three Realms."

"Wild grass grows in the desert, big trees grow between the cliffs, mayflies come out of the water and can't live for a day, the foolish old man moves the mountain for more than a hundred years."

"Knowing it's impossible and doing it, guarding the thought in the heart, is the way to transcend the predicament."

Tang An turned to look at Bodhi Patriarch and cautiously stepped back two steps.

"I won't use the Fetal Pearl again, this life, let it end here."

"Don't just leave everything behind like this, okay? Turn around and look at us, okay?"

Jiuyue cried until she lost her voice, looking forward to a miracle, a miracle that Tang An could still appear in the array.

Nezha didn't speak, just burned his Primordial Spirit to the maximum extent, wishing he could exchange his life for hers.

Taishang Laojun sighed, "Youthful spirit, but in vain."

He and Tongtian Jiaozhu had deduced it I don't know how many times, but every time the result was exactly the same.

Right now, they were relying on hot-bloodedness and acting on impulse, but actually couldn't change anything.

"Brother, lend me your Taiji Diagram."

Tongtian Jiaozhu's Dharma power was too sharp, not easy to make a move directly. So, he could only go to borrow the Taiji Diagram.

"Brother, how can even you..."

"That is my disciple, even if I can't deduce a chance of survival, I cannot sit idly by."

Taishang Laojun looked at everyone's efforts going to one place, shaking his head and sighing helplessly.

"Fine, it's been many years since I've done something knowing it's impossible."

He also made a move, but he directly intervened, preventing Nezha and the others from burning their Primordial Spirits aimlessly.

"Just transport Dharma power."

"Two brothers, sense the Purifying World Green Lotus, there may be a turning point."

Yuanshi Tianzun watched everything happen silently, and after Taishang Laojun also followed suit, he sighed. Obviously, he didn't approve of the two Saints making a move to break a fixed number that couldn't be changed.

Knowing it's impossible and doing it is truly a foolish act of futility.

He looked at all the foolish people in front of him and turned to leave.

But at this moment, an idea inexplicably appeared in his heart, try it? What if?

"Fine."

After all, he owed some causality, so let's be foolish once.

The Three Pure Ones made a move at the same time, maintaining the great array while sensing the aura of the Purifying World Green Lotus in the world.

Tang An would dissipate, but the Purifying World Green Lotus would not.

If the Purifying World Green Lotus was found, and combined with this array, maybe a miracle could really be created.

In the void.

Tang An's dissipated consciousness gathered here and woke up.

"Am I still alive?"

"Where is this?"

Before she finished speaking, she saw thousands upon thousands of herself in front of her, as if connected in a line.

At the moment her voice fell, those thousands upon thousands of herself moved toward her and gathered.

In an instant, they all rushed into her body, merged with her, and emitted dazzling light of various colors.

At the same time, her residual memories that she wanted to recall also quickly became complete.

"So... it turned out to be like this?"

Tang An seemed to sense something, and when she looked up, a figure appeared in front of her.

"Bodhi Patriarch?"
