Three Wishes
Mother Da Zhen frowned, she suppressed her wounds and looked at the copper lamp. Being able to live and hide for so long in the Ancestral Star, she has learned to not trust people easily.
If it wasn't for her cautiousness, she wouldn't be still alive now.
Three wishes? Is this lamp something like the Demon God Contracted Puppet?
Mother Da Zhen thought to herself, she didn't knew of the Demon God Contracted Puppet before until Zhong Yue had used it in the Eight Barren. Ever since then, the world had a clear glimpse on the Demon God Contracted Puppet.
While right after hearing that the lamp could grant her three wishes, Mother Da Zhen had thought of the Demon God Contracted Puppet immediately!
Although the Demon God Contracted Puppet was precious and could bring good lucks, it would ultimately cause death after the three wishes were completed. The demon god contracted with the puppet would emerge and eat the wisher's soul.
If the demon god was in the Deity Overlord or Deity Emperor level, even Mother Da Zhen couldn't have survive that.
"Demon God Contracted Puppet? That kind of trash is not even worthy to be compared to me!"
Inside the lamp, the Zhong Shan Clan young man was suppressed to only a bean's size. He stood on top of the Divine Wing Saber and surged his psyche out of the lamp to speak, "I, the ancient magic lamp, is an undying existence and the lamp spirit left behind by the great emperors! The young human met me and has achieved everything he got in just two wishes, doesn't that show how mighty am I?"
Zhong Yue didn't expect that he would ended up in the hands of Mother Da Zhen. His plan was to leave the copper lamp after the battle settles 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 be overly 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 the Zhong Shan Clan member wished for?"
The 'lamp god' answered, "He said he wanted to be in 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 and started to believe the 'lamp god'. Zhong Yue has always claimed that he has destroyed the insect planet, but it was just too absurd for a mere Qi Practitioners to have done so. Even the insect race didn't believe him much, there really just wasn't anyone that believed a Qi Practitioners could destroy a planet.
However, with this copper lamp saying that it was the one that destroyed the insect planet, it sounded much more reliable!
The ancient gods have left behind many secrets, the Ancestral Star alone was buried with countless Heavenly Sovereign and Earthly Sovereign!
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 the Zhong Shan Clan member made his third wish?"
She was still having doubts, she wouldn't have believed the copper lamp so easily.
"His third wish, is to awaken the Innate Moon God and have her protect his safety.", the lamp god said happily.
A cold chill was suddenly sent 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 the Zhong Shan Clan member has made his third wish, why is he dead still?"
'Lamp god' guffawed smugly, "His third wish is to awaken the Innate Moon God, while for her to protect his safety was already the fourth wish. But all his three wishes are finished, the fourth is none of my business anymore."
The voice coming within the copper lamp sounded nefariously evil. As if it came from a wicked god, gloating on Zhong Yue's death and was incredibly entertained by that!
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. Whereas this copper lamp could be used for numerous times. Clearly, this has shown its superiority above the Demon God Contracted Puppet.
Things like these were usually evil and wicked. The wishes were baits given by the evil gods behind the medium so to devour the wishers.
If one ever asked for a wish, he would be baited by these evil gods and fell into their deadly traps!
Zhong Shan Clan member, how dumb you are!, Mother Da Zhen glanced at the lamp and rays of wisdom flashed in her eyes. She thought, You didn't realized it were two wishes that you have made, you asked for death yourself! What an idiot child, you brought death to your ownself! If I'm right, this lamp god must also be an evil god, his goal is to toy the wishers to death! But if you are smart enough and only wished once, you will be able to acquire 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 threw the copper lamp away and not touch it anymore!
Then, the voice from the copper lamp prompted, "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 a god also! 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 is 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 slacked a bit. Now, tell me, what's your second wish?"
Mother Da Zhen was stunned for a second, then she vociferated, "How can this be acceptable?"
However, the 'lamp god' was placid in answering, "You are too dumb, you can't be blame me for your retardedness. Now, your second wish."
Mother Da Zhen was uncontented, a wish was just wasted for nothing!
Seconds before, she was just criticizing Zhong Yue for being too dumb, but now, the same thing was happening on her as well!
This lamp god is definitely an evil god! He likes to search the holes in the wishes and take advantage of the wishers. Such attitudes are really like the evil and wicked gods.
Rays of wisdom flashed across Mother Da Zhen's eyes again as she planned her second wish. It seemed as if she has already forgotten her decision of making only one wish and leave right after.
Now, all her focus was to come out with a perfect second wish. Using her own words from before, she has now been baited by the wishes setted up by the evil 'lamp god'.
"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 alertness, she said, "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 Nurture level. How quick that you have thought about it. Pity, pity…"
Mother Da Zhen's scalps tingled and a sense of relief came within her as she thought, Thankfully I stopped him from doing that before he grants me the wish!
While inside of the copper lamp, Zhong Yue turned worrisome and he said, "The first wish is still fine, but this second wish is getting a little knotty… Xin Huo, I need your help in this!"
Xin Huo winked his eyes and asked, "You mean…"
A little flame rose within the copper lamp, it was small and has the features of a human, but with a tail wagging on 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 and formed a bizarre array formation."
While suddenly, the 'lamp god' said within the lamp, "Place the array formation and stand in the center of the altars. After the altars are activated, the energy in the heaven and earth will come swarming in to help 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'.
While she asked later, "Lamp god, aren't you the one that's going to help me?"
The 'lamp god' answered in an insouciant tone, "Your wish didn't say that I am supposed to do it myself, so why would I waste my energy to help you? This array of altars are more than enough to handle such minor task."
What an evil god, how true that he is really evil!
Mother Da Zhen praised in her heart, He could've even found a hole in the wish! But if he had done it himself, I would have suspected his true intention as well, whether if there is anything wrong in the energy that he gave me! But now, with I myself doing it, I can know if the array formation has any hidden dangers in it! While if the array formation is legitimate, I can learn it and use it the next time when needed!0
She stared at the hologram and started attaining the totem patterns and abstrusities in it. However, these totem patterns were in a higher level than what she has ever seen, she could only understand thirty-percent of them.
While even these thirty-percent of totem patterns were already stronger than what she had ever learned. 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 has surged her arcane energy and psyche out to carve the mountains and engrave the totem patterns, forming them into the 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 activates it.
This mother god is really knotty, how cautious!, in the copper lamp, Zhong Yue thought solemnly.
