Chapter 555

– Three Wishes
Mother Da Zhen frowned as she looked at the copper lamp. Being able to live and hide for so long in the Ancestral Star, she had learned to not trust people easily.
If it weren’t for her cautiousness, she wouldn’t be alive now.
Three wishes? Is this lamp something like the Demon God Contracted Puppet?
Mother Da Zhen thought to herself, she didn’t know about the Demon God Contracted Puppet before Zhong Yue used it in the Eight Barren. Ever since then, the world gained a glimpse of the abilities of the Demon God Contracted Puppet.
After hearing that the lamp could grant her three wishes, Mother Da Zhen mind immediately went to the Demon God Contracted Puppet!
Although the Demon God Contracted Puppet was precious, it would ultimately cause death after the three wishes were completed. The demon god contracted with the puppet eat the user’s soul.
If the demon god was in the Deity Overlord or Deity Emperor level, even Mother Da Zhen couldn’t survive that.

Demon God Contracted Puppet? That kind of trash is not even worthy of being compared to me!

Inside the lamp, Zhong Yue was suppressed to only a bean’s size. He stood on top of the Divine Wing Saber and projected his voice out of the lamp,
I, the ancient magic lamp, am an undying existence and the lamp spirit left behind by the great emperors! The young human met me and achieved everything he got in just two wishes, doesn’t that show how mighty am I?

Zhong Yue didn’t expect that he would end up in the hands of Mother Da Zhen. His plan was to leave the copper lamp after the battle settled down. But with Mother Da Zhen carrying the copper lamp along with her, going out of the lamp would only kill him!
If Mother Da Zhen had found out he was inside, she would certainly be happy to see him!

Lamp spirit left by the great emperors?

Mother Da Zhen was piqued in interest, she cleared her throat and said,
Lamp god, what did Zhong Yue wished for?

The ‘lamp god’ answered,
He said he wanted to be on the Legendary Board, so I pushed him to the first rank in that petty list. His second wish was to destroy the insect planet, and so I did.


My insect planet, you!
Mother Da Zhen’s scalp tingled as she started to subconsciously believe the ‘lamp god’. Zhong Yue always claimed that he destroyed the insect planet, but it was just too absurd for a mere Qi Practitioner to done so. Even the insect race didn’t believe him much.
However, with this copper lamp saying that it was the one that destroyed the insect planet… that explanation seemed to be much more acceptable!
The ancient gods left behind many secrets, the Ancestral Star alone was buried with countless Heavenly Sovereign and Earthly Sovereigns!
This was something even the brightest planet in the universe can’t have, only the Ancestral Star!
Mother Da Zhen rolled her eyes, she asked,
Lamp god, did Zhong Yue make his third wish?

She was still having doubts, she wouldn’t believed the copper lamp so easily.

His third wish was to awaken the Innate Moon God to have her protect him.
the lamp god said happily.
A cold chill suddenly traveled down Mother Da Zhen’s spine as she exclaimed,
You are the one that awakened the innate god, how did you… Wait, no, no. If Zhong Yue made his third wish, why is he still dead?

‘Lamp god’ guffawed smugly,
His third wish was to awaken the Innate Moon God. As for making her protect him… that would’ve made it his fourth wish.

The voice coming within the copper lamp sounded nefariously evil, as if relishing in Zhong Yue’s misfortune!
Yet, Mother Da Zhen believed it.
The Demon God Contracted Puppet could also grant three wishes, but after the third wish was fulfilled, the puppet would turn into a piece of trash right after. As for this copper lamp, it could be used numerous times. Clearly, its superiority to the Demon God Contracted Puppet was clear as day.
Things like these were usually evil and wicked. The allure of wishes was oftentimes bait for the evil gods to devour those that fell to its temptation.
Asking for a wish was tantamount to signing away one’s soul!
Zhong Yue, how dumb are you! Mother Da Zhen glanced at the lamp and a light of understanding flashed through her eyes. She thought, You didn’t realize that you had made two wishes together. You asked for death yourself! What an idiot child, you brought death upon your ownself! If I’m right, this lamp god must also be an evil god, his goal is to toy with its victims! But if you are smart enough and only wished once, you would’ve been able to gain a huge benefit from him!
She made a decision that she would only ask for one wish. After the wish was granted, she would immediately throw the copper lamp away!
Then, the voice from the copper lamp asked,
Now, what’s your wish?

Mother Da Zhen thought for a split second and she chortled,
My wish is simple, I want all of the gods in the Ancestral Star to die!


You sure?
The ‘lamp god’ asked and suddenly smiled smugly.
Mother Da Zhen was just going to answer but a thought flashed across her mind and she was greatly shocked, I am also a god! This wish will kill me as well!
Cold sweat burst out from her forehead, she quickly said,
Wait! My wish is to kill all of the gods in Ancestral Star other than the insect race gods!

A snap of finger came within the magical lamp, the ‘lamp god’ smiled and said,
Your wish has been granted. Now, tell me your second wish!

Mother Da Zhen was shocked and overjoyed, she exclaimed,
The gods are killed already?


Of course not.
The lamp god answered,
But they will soon. Some will die of age and some others will die in various accidents and battles. None of them will be able to live eternally. You never added a time frame for the wish to be completed, so I simply took the path of least resistance. Now, tell me, what’s your second wish?

Mother Da Zhen was stunned for a second before erupting,
How can this be acceptable?

However, the ‘lamp god’ was placid in answering,
Don’t blame me for your idiocy. Now, your second wish.

Mother Da Zhen was discontent; she had wasted a wish for nothing!
Seconds before, she had criticized Zhong Yue for being too dumb, but now, the same thing was happening to her as well!
This lamp god is definitely an evil god! He liked to search for loopholes in the wishes and take advantage. Such an attitude is really like the evil and wicked gods.
Rays of wisdom flashed across Mother Da Zhen’s eyes again as she contemplated her second wish.
Now, all her focus was to come out with a perfect second wish.

Lamp god, my second wish is…
Mother Da Zhen pondered for seconds and said solemnly,
I want to recover all of my wounds and return to my peak stage, right here right now!


You sure your second wish is to recover yourself to your peak state?
The ‘lamp god’ asked.
Mother Da Zhen’s heart suddenly twitched in alarm,
Wait! I want to recover to the peak of my current cultivation level!


Hehehe…
a series of nefarious laughters came within the lamp, the ‘lamp god’ said,
I was just thinking of reverting you back to the peak of your Spirit Nurturing level. You learn quite quickly. Pity, pity…

Mother Da Zhen’s scalp tingled as a sense of relief filled her body, Thankfully I stopped him from doing that before he granted me the wish!
Inside of the copper lamp, worry began to creep across Zhong Yue’s face as he said,
The first wish is still fine, but this second wish is getting a little knotty… Xin Huo, I need your help with this!

Xin Huo winked his eyes and asked,
You mean…

A little flame rose within the copper lamp, it was small and had human features, but with a tail wagging behind its back.
Mother Da Zhen looked at it and was shocked, Is this how the lamp god looks like?
The little flame shot out a hologram and showed the image of an array of altars. These altars were made from the totem patterns, forming a bizarre array formation.
Suddenly, the ‘lamp god’ said within the lamp,
Place the array formation here and stand at the center. After the altars are activated, the energy of heaven and earth will come flood through your body, helping you in remedying your wounds and recovering your injuries.

Mother Da Zhen heard the voice coming from the lamp and thought, So this little flame is not the ‘lamp god’.
She asked later,
Lamp god, aren’t you the one that’s going to help me?

The ‘lamp god’ answered insouciantly,
Why? You never asked for it, so why would I waste my energy to help you? This array of altars is more than enough to handle such a minor task.

What an evil god, he truly is evil!
Mother Da Zhen praised in her heart, He could’ve even found a hole in the wish! But if he did it himself, I would also be suspicious! But now, with me doing it myself, I will be able to know if the array formation has any hidden dangers! if the array formation is legitimate, I can learn it and use it the next time I need it!
She stared at the hologram and started attaining the totem patterns and abstrusities in it. However, these totem patterns were on a higher level to what she had ever seen. She could only understand thirty percent of it.
Even this thirty-percent was already stronger than anything she knew. The array formation presented in the hologram must have been an amazing art!
The last suspicion toward the array formation in her heart was eradicated away. In a gravely wounded state, Mother Da Zhen surged her arcane energy and psyche out to carve the mountains and engrave the totem patterns, forming them into altars.
Soon, the altars were ready.
Just as Mother Da Zhen was going to enter the array formation, she suddenly stopped and formed a huge hand with her arcane energy. She grabbed one of the two-legged creatures with huge pocket in front of them and threw it into the array formation while she activated it.
This mother god is really knotty, how cautious! In the copper lamp, Zhong Yue thought solemnly.
