Chapter 2060: Undying and Unhurt, Not Becoming a God!

And in that moment when the crystal mausoleum fragmented and turned to dust, a thin and small figure slowly rose from above the crystal dust…

Ethereal robes, seemingly illusory, pale long hair withered, a face lacking any hint of color, filled with sorrow and despair…

That small figure had the face of a ten-year-old child, yet, it faintly resembled Gu Changsheng’s shadow…

Just at the time when the invisible shackles continuously battered the barrier of the Broken Cliff of Ten Thousand Fathoms, constantly sweeping toward Gu Changsheng below, that slender phantom stretched and extended, its figure gradually grew taller, the frail holy golden light on him continuously converged, although it was illusory and indistinct, finally it took shape…

Pure holy golden color, pure color that inspired reverence, a color that dared not be profaned but only worshipped…

“Father God… She’s my child…”

The face identical to Gu Changsheng’s was filled with despair, the hazy phantom standing above the ruins of the crystal mausoleum slowly stretched out its hands, bending its knees…

Knelt down…

Despair overflowed from the face identical to Gu Changsheng’s…

With a straight back, the woman kneeling on the ground was Ta You, or perhaps… Divine Venerable Ancient Wilderness?

“Father God, don’t… She’s my child, for whom I have no shame towards you, no shame towards heaven and earth, no shame towards the living beings, the only one I have regrets for, Father God, how could you…”

The woman formed by the phantom shook her head slowly, in her eyes like dried wells, a drop of blood tears slowly overflowed, the color was desolation white…

She was Ta You…

The continuation of the Divine Venerable Ancient Wilderness’s will, formed by the Divine Venerable Ancient Wilderness’s obsession…

Yet at the end of the Ancient Wilderness Times, when heaven and earth were overturned, she had exhausted all her flesh and blood, used infinite life, to preserve the beings of all heaven, she had nothing left, only a trace of will remained…

Even tears were a luxury, even pleading had no tears to fall, she had done everything she could to the utmost, but still, was it not enough?

In mid-air, misty clouds gathered, flashes of lightning and rumbling on the invisible shackles, the intangible pressure kept accumulating, hearing these words, it noticeably paused…

“Father God, my will is your will, my child is your child, what do you truly want? Do you wish to use the rules you set to erase all traces of our existence?” The woman kneeling on the ground insisted on raising her head, eyes filled with resoluteness and desolation, her pale little face full of helplessness and frustration. “I am already dead, your daughter, I am already dead! In the Ancient Era, above the Tomb of the Gods, your daughter after death couldn’t even inscribe her name, how can you be the Creator God? How can I name it after the Ancient Era? If the heavens disappear, and everything ceases to exist, and the era opens anew, who will still remember my name? Remember that we once existed? Father God…”

Above the crystal ruins, the kneeling woman raised her head, looking at the flashing light and fire of the invisible chain in mid-air, anxious, crawling on her knees, shaking her head, choked speechlessly, “Father God, this is the only bloodline of ours still existing, even if time is barren, even if all heavens are no more, as long as she exists for one day, she carries our bloodline. Father God, your daughter, I am already dead, begging you, please don’t use your rules left behind to constrain our bloodline! Father God, do you truly want to watch your created heavens destroyed in an instant? Truly want to see your bloodline end by your own hand? The Heavenly Dao is already incomplete, I have used my death to guard everything you’ve created, what more do you want? What do you truly want?”

The woman kneeling on the ground, with straightened back, spoke thus, her straight back slowly bent, curling on the ground…

She was Ta You, the continuation of the Divine Venerable Ancient Wilderness’s will, in this fading era, barely clinging to life, only to wait for her daughter’s arrival!

She absolutely would not watch her poor child die in front of herself!

Even if the one wanting to kill her child was her Father God, the creator of this world!

She was no longer a qualified mother, already step by step caused her child to such a point with no way back, but she absolutely would not let her child be harmed a bit in front of her, unless she completely disappeared…

“Father God, daughter is willing to sacrifice her obsession, pray for my child Changsheng…”

Speaking to this point, the woman curled on the ground slowly looked back toward Gu Changsheng’s unconscious direction, her hollow and void eyes suddenly, had boundless emotions overflowing…

There was attachment, reluctance, guilt, regret…

“Pray for my child Changsheng, this life, this world, eternally and forever, undying and unhurt, not becoming a god…”

The three words “not becoming a god,” spoken from the woman’s mouth, were extremely strenuous, as though she used up all her strength…

And at that instant when she spoke these words, a chain flashing with lightning swiftly struck the woman’s body…

“Ta You! As the continuation of my will, you are merely an obsession, how dare you harbor selfish desires, trying to alter destiny! Are you seeking death!”

An immensely authoritative female voice, filled with endless anger, came from that invisible shackle, piercing through the chest of the woman kneeling on the ground in a flash of lightning-like brilliance…

Desolate and withered blood, transparent as if washed, suddenly surged from the chest of the kneeling woman along with the shackle piercing through her, splattering across her chest garments…

Ta You…

Indeed, she was Ta You, the continuation of the will of the Divine Venerable Ancient Wilderness…

But, the one who reprimanded her…

The woman kneeling on the ground, oblivious to the desolate blood continuously oozing from her chest, fearfully raised her head, looking towards the shackle hanging mid-air; her hollow eyes were filled with disbelief as she exclaimed in shock, “Ancient Wilderness! Besides creating me, you actually integrated your obsession into the Heavenly Rules! You…”

Saying this, the woman kneeling on the ground spat a mouthful of pale golden breath, and her entire figure instantly became even more indistinct…

Ta You raised her hand, watching the pale golden breath continuously dispersing from her fingertips…

She knew, truly, she was about to completely disappear!

Forever, even eternally…

“Why? She is also your daughter, I love her, proving that you also love her, why does mother-daughter love seem inferior to a mission to guard All Heavens for you? When did your obsession become fused with the Heavenly Rules? Are you willing to personally destroy her? Why?”

Blood tears continuously fell from Ta You’s eyes, her entire small face wrinkled into a clump…

Yet, she persistently stared at her chest, that invisible shackle piercing through it, staring at what demanded her life, staring at what desired to erase her existence…

I… killed myself…

This is Ta You’s current predicament…

Her past wants to kill her present…

This thing, which shouldn’t have happened, yet happened precisely at this moment, right before her eyes…

Strangely, it makes one’s heart ache, bringing forth despair from deep within, unyielding…

“Why?” Ta You stared at the shackle piercing through her chest, her vague body trembling slightly…

However, Ta You persisted in asking.

“Retract your sacrificial words from earlier, Ta You, she must become a god! All of this, she must endure!” From atop the shackle came a divine sound, boundless with authority, seeming to compel Ta You to submit…

“Must become a god? Must endure? Ancient Wilderness, even at this moment you haven’t the slightest regret…” From her mouth, pale golden Divine Breath continuously dissipated, her facial skin spasming with convulsions due to the gnawing bone pain in her chest, yet the depths of her hollow eyes were filled with persistence, not backing down in the slightest, “Ancient Wilderness, you want her to become a god, to endure all of this, ultimately… ultimately, what for?”

Ta You’s voice already started breaking, some words unformulated, transitioning from tone to tone…

“Becoming a god, becoming another Father God in this world… another you… another me… then… continue our motherly duty of salvation? Ancient Wilderness, you have never seen her… nor asked… her opinion… how do you know if she wishes to become us…”

As the words were spoken, Ta You’s figure had already begun to turn transparent, transparent to… almost non-existent…

“Retract your sacrificial words from before, Ta You!”

The shackle piercing through Ta You’s chest quivered; bits of Holy Golden power endlessly leaked from it, entering Ta You’s body, repairing her dissipating aura…

“Ancient Wilderness! You wish! You are who I used to be, you are the Divine Venerable Ancient Wilderness, but I am not! I only wish to be Ta You, to be the one who has prayed within the Star Innate Tower for millennia, waited for millennia, just to glimpse her daughter’s face! I, who used to be, and was you, did not love her, but now, I love her! I will absolutely not allow her to become a god, to repeat our downfall! Absolutely not!”

Saying this, the woman kneeling on the ground slowly lifted her hand, reaching towards her chest, towards the shackle piercing through her chest…

“Ta You! You cannot! You cannot do this…”

Upon seeing this, the Holy Golden chain in Ta You’s chest immediately became frightened, starting to tremble fiercely as if wanting to break free from Ta You’s reaching hand; the Holy Gold color suddenly surged, continually trying to burrow into Ta You’s body, “Ta You, you cannot! You will completely dissipate! Retract your sacrificial words, and join me…”
