The Divine Son is not something one can become just because they wish to, and even acquiring a part of the Divine Son's nature is as difficult as ascending to the heavens. If it were truly something one could acquire upon desire, Xuanming wouldn't have been entangled with Little Bowl, and there might have been broader choices in the sacrificial ceremony. Historically, those who were Divine Sons could not transfer their attributes to others nor endow others with their physique.

Coincidentally, Little Bowl happens to be able to do this.

I turned my head to look at Little Bowl, who seemed to realize the same thing at the same time, meeting my gaze.

Little Bowl can use the Power of Blessing to grant me a part of the Divine Son's nature, rapidly adapting and analyzing the Doomsday Chaos Space-Time. Mazao and Zhu Shi can also receive the same blessing from her. Now, Zhu Shi's prerequisite for maintaining the state of communicating with the Yama Sword is the ability to sustain a part of the Divine Son's nature for twenty-four hours non-stop.

In other words, the prerequisite for Mazao acquiring the Power of Great Impermanence from the planet's natural will seems to have been met.

"Hmm? Why are you all silent?"

Weichi, as the unwitting proposer, had no idea what kind of enlightenment he had given us, and just looked at us with a blank expression.

I temporarily suppressed the surge of emotions in my heart and calmly pondered the feasibility of the plan.

Strictly speaking, the Human Dao Divine Weapon, as a reference prototype, grants its bearer the full nature of the Divine Son, whereas Little Bowl can only grant a part of it. If there's a noticeable flaw in the plan for Mazao to mimic the operating principles of the Human Dao Divine Weapon to gain immense power, it's at this juncture. Yet, considering the vast potential reward, the plan still holds significant challenge value.

The source of the Blessed Monk's power in the "Doomsday Era" is the planet's natural will—the Naraku Gospel. Although Mazao has always referred to herself as a Blessed Monk, her power source isn't the Naraku Gospel but stems from proper monk cultivation.

However, if everything goes smoothly, Mazao might become a super Blessed Monk, surpassing all others.

The Human Dao Divine Weapon relies on Naraku's Will, granting the bearer the power to push open the Third Door; the power of Naraku Gospel far surpasses Naraku's Will. If Mazao were to receive the full blessing from Naraku Gospel, how powerful would she become?

I am acutely aware that if Mazao becomes excessively strong, facing her in the future would be an immense challenge, yet I cannot muster the thought to oppose it. I genuinely want to see how strong Mazao can become, even if it might become an insurmountable wall.

After dinner, we left the estate. Weichi escorted us to the gate and said his farewells. After walking some distance, I glanced back. He was still standing at the gate, not looking at us, but seemingly staring into the sky absentmindedly. After rounding the corner, he was no longer visible.

"Brother Zhuang Cheng, can I explain this matter to Sister Mazao later?" asked Little Bowl.

"By all means," I replied.

"I knew you'd say that."

Little Bowl smiled slightly, then said solemnly, "However, this matter must be carefully considered; one cannot be too cautious. I will also advise Sister Mazao not to rush; even without this power, she must not act recklessly."

Upon her reminder, although I had some thoughts, I humbly asked, "Why is that?"

"Brother Zhuang Cheng might lack the sense of this; the stronger the power, the higher the risk in wielding it. It's like trying to catch a heavenly object without knowing if you can withstand it. A slight miss, and not only will things not go as desired, but it can also backfire and destroy oneself," Little Bowl said. "The Yama Sword releases power based on the synchronization with its Sword Master, not unleashing the Power of Great Impermanence all at once. The Human Dao Divine Weapon might also have other safety mechanisms, but the power imposed by the planet's natural will upon Sister Mazao might not be so.

"No, I can even be certain that the planet's natural will hasn't considered Mazao's limits. Although it seems to be cultivating Sister Mazao to become stronger, even if she truly grows into Great Impermanence, could she use the Power of Return to restore an erroneous world and correct flawed human history? It's not possible.

"From the beginning, Sister Mazao was burdened with a weight far beyond what individual destiny could bear... it's best not to assume that such power comes with safety settings. Aside from that, there are other worrying issues...

"Most importantly, Sister Mazao is not in a perfect state right now."

As Little Bowl pointed out, there remains the last flaw in Mazao's soul, a scar that can only be healed by refining the flesh of the Great Demon Xuanwu into a spiritual pill. It's best not to underestimate this flaw, as a dike of a thousand miles can collapse due to an ant hole. If she intends to bear the immense power to elevate herself to the level beyond Great Impermanence, she must be flawless inside and out.

Water Navy Xuanwu is likely in the Southern City where Xuanming and Taoyuan Village Master Meng Zhang are confronting each other; I must also intensify efforts to infiltrate the barrier surrounding the Southern City as soon as possible.

At the same time, I haven't forgotten another very important matter.

That is, how to allow Little Bowl, as a Dream Avatar, to remain in this world after completing her mission.

With my own knowledge and wisdom, I'm unlikely to find a reliable answer, so I've decided to seek guidance from the wisest, most knowledgeable person within my scope of knowledge.

The next day, I returned to the ruins of the Eastern Coastal City and found Gua Tianshi stationed there.

He was still gradually advancing the task of materializing his Heaven and Earth Array, which seemed unlikely to be completed in the short term. Concerning the inherent Heaven and Earth of Great Impermanence, it appeared not even Weichi could assist Gua Tianshi, besides Weichi currently needed to focus on developing the Du Shuo Mountain Teleportation Array. Meanwhile, Fa Zheng continued dragging Jian Feixian to save the ordinary citizens affected by the Doomsday Chaos Space-Time.

Along the way, I also found Fa Zheng and transmitted my understanding of the Doomsday Chaos Space-Time to him in the form of Spiritual Synchronization. However, doing so proved inefficient because the understanding was unstructured information filled with a lot of subjective perceptions based on my own ability. There was help, certainly, but one couldn't expect Fa Zheng to navigate the Doomsday Chaos Space-Time as smoothly as I did immediately.

At least it could provide Fa Zheng with an entry point to analyze the Doomsday Chaos Space-Time, potentially benefiting his current work. As a collaborator with temporarily aligned interests, before completing the infiltration of the Southern City's barrier, I also planned to allocate energy to help search and rescue scattered disaster victims.

I transmitted the same information to Jian Feixian and did the same when I later met Gua Tianshi, bringing up my question.

"A way for the Dream Avatar to remain after fulfilling her obsession, you say..." Gua Tianshi mused. "You've indeed given me a formidable challenge. The Dream Avatar exists because of the presence of a dream.

"This dream is its obsession, and it exists to fulfill it whenever the opportunity arises. To say you want the apparition to remain even after resolving its desire is akin to emptying the water from a cup while also wishing for the water to remain inside."

I knew well enough that this was an unreasonable request, and hearing his description made me feel like I was being senseless.

"So there's really no way?" I asked.

Gua Tianshi pondered, then said, "To find a method that allows a Dream Avatar to remain after its obsession has been fulfilled... it's like posing a conundrum to me that is tough to resolve. A Dream Avatar exists because of a dream.

"The dream itself is its obsession. According to what you described earlier, the spiritual body named Little Bowl by your side should have been born from the dreams of a mother and daughter. Normally, it should remember its mission and follow through with determination, seizing every opportunity; however, it seems that due to the unforeseen circumstances of the Doomsday, she has forgotten her entire origin and even struggled to recall her original obsession, later developing new ones through a series of mistakes.

"It's like time and space in the Post-mortem World. If an entirely new obsession and mission have formed, then besides 'the mother's component' and 'the daughter's component', she also managed to develop a component that belongs solely to her own existence.

"So, as she said, she possesses both the mother and the daughter's memories, yet cannot fully identify with either of their positions... precisely because she has become an existence with a third-party self-component."

"So, even if she completes her mission, she won't disappear?" I asked.

"No, even with an independent component, she is not a completely independent existence," Gua Tianshi replied. "To make an analogy: suppose she's not an illusory spiritual body but a being composed of flesh and blood with one-tenth of her flesh as her own, and the remaining nine-tenths equally belonging to the mother and the daughter.

"Then if we were to remove and destroy all parts of that nine-tenths flesh, what would result?"
