185: Chapter 185 Breaking the Three Locks
Living room.
The room was silent for two seconds.
Liu Cuilan was in no hurry to reply.
She first turned back into the kitchen, turned off the stove, and covered the pot with a lid.
Li Yan stood nearby, his mouth agape.
In this situation, he really didn't know how to butt in.
Others invite gods.
This one invites his mom.
The scale of this was a bit sinister.
Liu Cuilan wiped her hands and then looked toward the Blue Door.
"Being a mother for Blue Star?"
The woman inside the door said softly, "It's just a confirmation."
"To ensure that when it wakes up, it remembers home first, rather than a divine throne."
Liu Cuilan frowned.
"Speak like a human."
The voice inside the Blue Door paused for a moment.
The core of the planet.
Jiang Feng looked up at the blue stone heart.
The Former Lord of Blue Star stood before the stone heart, holding the blue-eyed child.
She whispered, "Blue Star was once sealed into an object by The Name Writer."
"If it wakes up and recognizes divinity first, it will swallow all names and return to its position as the Old Master."
"If it wakes up and recognizes home first, it will become a homeland."
Li Yan understood half of it.
He scratched his head.
"In other words, a single sentence from Auntie decides whether Blue Star is a home for people to live in or some high-dimensional big daddy?"
Zero Seven's face turned pale.
"Pretty much."
The Dragon girl added seriously.
"If Grandma provides the meals, Blue Star won't be allowed to eat people randomly."
Li Yan clapped his hands.
"This translation is much easier to understand than the Inspectorate's."
The Former Lord of Blue Star looked at Jiang Feng.
"The third lock is the Mother's Wish Lock."
"It suppresses my divinity and also protects Blue Star's last bit of humanity."
"If you dismantle it by force, Blue Star will wake up directly as a god."
Jiang Feng asked directly.
"Will something happen to my mom?"
The Former Lord of Blue Star was silent for a breath.
"She will hear Blue Star's dreams."
"How heavy?"
A Mortal would go insane.
Jiang Feng's eyes instantly turned cold.
The Former Lord of Blue Star immediately added another sentence.
"But if she is willing, she only needs to say one sentence."
"What sentence?"
"Treat Blue Star as a child and tell it to come home."
Jiang Feng did not agree immediately.
He raised his hand and connected the communication to the Tianshu Dragon Garden.
Liu Cuilan's voice came through.
"Xiao Feng, I'm listening."
Jiang Feng said, "Mom, if you don't want to do it, don't do it."
Liu Cuilan snorted.
"I haven't even agreed yet, what are you in a hurry for?"
Li Yan whispered under his breath.
"Auntie's mindset is indeed stable."
Before the Blue Door.
Liu Cuilan looked at the light inside the door.
"I ask you."
"When Blue Star wakes up, will it harm my son?"
The Old Master of the core fell silent.
Liu Cuilan's expression darkened.
"You hesitated."
The Former Lord of Blue Star said softly, "If it recognizes divinity, Jiang Feng is the Namer and will be the first to be devoured."
"If it recognizes home, he is the Homecomer and will not be devoured."
Jiang Jianguo picked up the ruyi heaven-breaking staff.
"Then what's there to talk about? Let it recognize home!"
Liu Cuilan did not nod immediately.
She looked at Jiang Feng's communication projection.
"Xiao Feng, what do you think?"
Jiang Feng only replied with two words.
"Dismantle the locks."
Liu Cuilan asked, "Can you come back for dinner after dismantling them?"
Jiang Feng glanced at the three locks of the core.
"I can."
Liu Cuilan nodded.
"Then I'll go."
Jiang Feng's brow twitched.
"Mom."
Liu Cuilan put the peace buckle on her wrist, her tone very casual.
"When you had a fever as a kid, I didn't ask if I could handle it."
"As a mother, how can I just sit there when my child is suffering?"
Jiang Feng didn't speak.
The Dragon girl said softly, "Grandma is amazing."
Li Yan also stopped smiling.
"Auntie, don't worry. If anyone dares touch you, I'll be the first to step up."
Jiang Jianguo glared at him.
"With me here, you're the first?"
Li Yan immediately changed his tune.
"Uncle is first, I'm second."
The Blue Door expanded.
Liu Cuilan stepped inside.
In the next instant.
She appeared in the starry sky of the core.
She was wearing an apron, with a bit of flour still on her hands.
Standing under the inverted galaxy, it looked like she had just taken a wrong turn from the kitchen.
The Former Lord of Blue Star looked at her and slowly lowered her head.
Cuilan.
You are just a Mortal.
Liu Cuilan looked at the blue-eyed child in her arms.
"So what if I'm a Mortal?"
"When a child is hungry, does a god cook for him?"
The Old Master did not answer.
Liu Cuilan walked up to the blue stone heart.
The third peace buckle pattern lit up.
A surge of blue light rushed toward her.
Jiang Feng stepped in front to block it.
The Former Lord of Blue Star said, "You cannot block it."
"She must hear it herself."
Liu Cuilan patted Jiang Feng's back.
"Xiao Feng, move aside."
Jiang Feng stepped half a step to the side.
But his Zero-er divine light was already pressing down beneath Liu Cuilan's feet.
Anyone who dared cross the line.
Would die.
The blue light fell.
Countless images appeared before Liu Cuilan's eyes.
Mountains and rivers splitting apart.
Cities hanging upside down.
Countless people crying out in their old names.
And a giant blue shadow, sitting at the end of the starry sky, reaching out to grab all the names.
Liu Cuilan's body swayed.
Jiang Jianguo immediately rushed up to support her.
"Cuilan!"
Liu Cuilan waved her hand.
"I'm fine."
She looked up at the blue stone heart.
"I don't know how powerful you used to be."
"I don't understand things like Old Master, divine thrones, or Inverted Chessboards."
"I'm just asking you one thing."
The blue stone heart throbbed.
Liu Cuilan raised her voice.
"After you wake up, are you still going to let people live their lives?"
The starry sky of the core went silent.
Li Yan almost couldn't hold it in.
This question was too simple.
But it hit the mark most accurately.
A childish voice came from within the blue stone heart.
"I... can be a god."
Liu Cuilan's face fell.
"Can a god fix the water pipes in Dongjiang?"
The childish voice got stuck.
"Can a god ensure there's someone to pick up the kids after school?"
There was no answer.
"Can a god let a family eat a peaceful meal?"
The light of the blue stone heart began to tremble.
Liu Cuilan pointed at it.
"If you want to be a god as soon as you wake up, then go back to sleep."
"If you want to be Blue Star, then remember this."
"People living on you are not your food."
"They are your family."
The third peace buckle pattern lit up to its limit.
System prompts exploded.
[The Mother's Wish Lock is being reconstructed.]
[Liu Cuilan's reality anchor is intervening.]
[Blue Star's Awakening tendency changed: Divine Old Master -> Will of the Homeland.]
[fourteenth transition Prerequisite 1: Third Lock confirmation completed.]
Jiang Feng looked up.
"Can it be dismantled now?"
The Former Lord of Blue Star looked at him.
"Yes."
"But the first lock is The Name Writer's Seal."
"The second lock is Pangu's Axe Mark."
"They will backlash."
Jiang Feng had already raised his hand.
"Does the backlash have attributes?"
Li Yan's eyes lit up.
"Here it comes, the professional question."
Jiang Feng smashed a fist toward the first closed-eye lock.
The closed-eye symbol opened on the spot.
Gray light transformed into a giant brush, writing directly toward Jiang Feng's brow.
[Name-Writing Heart-Sealing activated.]
[Forcibly registering target as: Tool for Awakening the Former Lord of Blue Star.]
[True Name Self-Retention in effect.]
[Registration failed.]
Jiang Feng grabbed the giant brush.
"Plunder."
[Secret Art: Pangu Plunder activated.]
[Plundering the Name-Writing Heart-Sealing Lock.]
[Obtained all attributes: 260 ganges sand.]
[Current basic six-dimensional attributes: 2260 ganges sand.]
The first lock snapped on the spot.
The blue light in the core surged.
Immediately after, the second lock, Pangu's Axe Mark, vibrated.
A colorless giant axe slashed out from the stone heart.
The axe blade did not cut people.
It cut the world's capacity.
Zero Seven cried out in alarm, "It's going to split Blue Star back to before the creation of heaven!"
Jiang Feng reached out and caught the axe blade with his bare hands.
Boom!
The entire starry sky of the core sank downward.
Jiang Feng's feet did not retreat.
He closed his fingers.
The axe mark shattered halfway.
[Touching: Pangu's Old Axe Boundary-Sealing Mark.]
[Function: Suppresses world Awakening, prevents Old Master's restoration.]
[Plunderable.]
Jiang Feng said, "Plunder."
[Secret Art: Pangu Plunder activated.]
[Plundering Pangu's Old Axe Boundary-Sealing Mark.]
[Obtained all attributes: 300 ganges sand.]
[Current basic six-dimensional attributes: 2560 ganges sand.]
The second lock shattered.
The blue stone heart began to throb completely.
Thump!
Thump!
Thump!
The entire Blue Star heard the heartbeat.
Huaxia Supreme Command Center.
All large screens turned bright blue.
The technician's voice was trembling.
"Commander!"
"Blue Star's leyline activity is skyrocketing!"
"The new Awakening Array is upgrading!"
"All native professionals are receiving world feedback!"
Xiao Zhenjiang suddenly looked up.
"Specific values!"
"The basic attributes of all Huaxia Awakeners have increased by thirty percent!"
"Some low-tier talents are undergoing secondary Awakening!"
Li Yan, hearing this in the core, was instantly delighted.
"Holy cow."
"A single sentence from Auntie, and the whole country gets benefits."
The Dragon girl's eyes lit up.
"Grandma is the Blue Star Canteen Manager."
Liu Cuilan glared at her.
"Don't go around giving out random titles."
Jiang Feng looked at the last peace buckle pattern.
The third lock did not shatter.
It turned into red light and fell into the blue stone heart.
System prompts sounded.
[Breaking the Three-Lock Deadlock of the Core completed.]
[fourteenth transition Prerequisite 1 completed.]
[Blue Star World True Name Self-Retention advancement: Will of the Homeland initial Awakening.]
[Huaxia Lifeline feedback.]
[All attributes increased: 440 ganges sand.]
[Current basic six-dimensional attributes: 3000 ganges sand.]
The colorless divine light on Jiang Feng's body directly filled the entire core.
Zero Seven looked at the panel, already numb.
Three thousand ganges sand.
This wasn't an upgrade.
This was clearly treating the world's heart as an experience pack to farm.
The blue-eyed child in the Former Lord of Blue Star's arms slowly disappeared.
Her face also became a bit clearer.
Yet it still couldn't be seen clearly.
She looked at Liu Cuilan and said softly, "Thank you."
Liu Cuilan waved her hand.
"Don't thank me."
"Just don't scare the children in the future."
The Former Lord of Blue Star nodded.
Then, she looked at Jiang Feng.
"The Inverted Chessboard has already made its move."
"By shattering the three locks, they will think Blue Star has lost control."
Jiang Feng asked, "Who's coming?"
Above the starry sky of the core.
The names of all Blue Star people suddenly dimmed.
A black chess piece pierced through the starry sky of the core and slowly descended.
A character was engraved on the chess piece.
[Xuan]
Zero Seven's expression changed instantly.
"Venerable Xuan?"
"No..."
That chess piece cracked open.
A young man wearing a black robe walked out.
He looked very young.
But there was an Inverted Chess Mark on his brow.
He looked down at Jiang Feng, his tone indifferent.
"First Piece Holder of the Inverted Chessboard, Xuan Yi."
"By the decree of Venerable Xuan."
"Eradicate the Will of the Homeland of Blue Star."
"Take away Liu Cuilan."
Jiang Feng looked up.
Liu Cuilan also looked up.
Li Yan cursed.
"Great, another one who doesn't know how to speak like a human."
Xuan Yi did not look at him.
His finger pointed toward Liu Cuilan.
"Mortals are not worthy of determining the fate of stars."
Jiang Feng stepped in front of Liu Cuilan.
He raised his hand and handed the thermal lunch box to the Dragon girl.
"Hold this well."
The Dragon girl immediately held it tight.
"I'll ensure the ribs are safe."
Jiang Feng looked at Xuan Yi.
His voice was very flat.
"What did you just say?"
"Take away who?"
