Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The Celestial Thearch had been pondering when would be the right time to reveal the information about the Xie Wang to Song Shuhang and allow him to deal with them without troubling her.
However, to her surprise, in just a short moment, the Demon Emperor had delivered a fantastic assist.
Confused, Song Shuhang replied to the Celestial Thearch,
“Senior Song, you don’t need to go through the trouble of testing Xie Wang.
You can just ask me. I know just as much as Xie Wang, if not more. And Senior Song, your attempt to test Xie Wang was quite crude. It was painful for us, the audience watching the live broadcast,” the Celestial Thearch replied.
Song Shuhang chuckled and replied, “Actually, the testing was a spur-of-the-moment idea. My main task is to scold the Demon Emperor a bit on behalf of someone else.’
The Heavenly Emperor directly retorted, “Senior Song, there’s no need to hide it. Do you really believe what you just said?”
“Well, yes, because 1 really am just fulfilling a task by scolding him a bit.”
“To be honest, he’s too cautious when it comes to you. The moment you started probing him with questions, he became more alert. The more you beat around the bush, the less relaxed he gets. So, the indirect approach of testing and probing won’t work well with him. Next time, you can try the persuasion method, offer him an irresistible benefit that he can’t refuse to get the truth out of him. I believe that his response will satisfy you,” the Celestial Thearch advised Song Shuhang, sharing her insights.
But before Song Shuhang could respond, the Celestial Thearch added, “Oh, I almost forgot. Senior Song, you might be too poor, and with your spending speed, you probably can’t offer something enticing enough to get him to talk.” Song Shuhang: .
Was this a surprise attack out of nowhere? It hit him when he least expected
His right hand twitched uncontrollably in the void, a residual effect from being repeatedly hit in the heart by his sword before. Whenever his super-alloy glass heart was hit too hard, his right hand would start to twitch, always wanting to grab something and use the Saber Nurturing Technique.
“Huh?” The Sword noticed Song Shuhangs twitching right hand and saw an opportunity. Its sword body had become quite soft due to excessive use, and it urgently needed a Saber Nurturing Technique session.
Thinking of this, the Heart Devil Scarlet Abyss Sword leaped high into the air, ready to slip into Song Shuhangs right hand to enjoy a 20-stroke massage.
Just as the sword leaped out like a fish out of water, a black figure suddenly appeared from Song Shuhangs shadow. The black figure’s head collided with Song Shuhangs right hand as if by fate, and their hand and head fit together perfectly.
The black figure spoke, “Senior Song, Snow Fairy Ji asked you to send Fairy @#%x to the Core World to assist her with dealing with Xie Wang. The process of researching Xie Wang requires the power of merit to cooperate…
Huh?”
Song Shuhangs hand that had touched the black figure’s head had unintentionally performed 20 strokes of the Saber Nurturing Technique – it had become an instinctive reaction, much like a knee-jerk response.
The sword exclaimed, ” ! ! ! ”
The black-skinned Soft Feather said, “???”
Song Shuhang: .
“Senior Song, what did you do to my Heart Devil?” Soft Feather asked in confusion.
“My hand… slipped,” Song Shuhang awkwardly retracted his right hand.
“l didn’t feel anything unusual,” Black-skinned Soft Feather’s face remained unchanged, “but being touched on the head by Senior Song feels surprisingly nice, just like when Daddy pats my head.”
Su Clan’s Sixteen couldn’t help but turn to look at Song Shuhangs right hand.
Song Shuhang awkwardly looked up at the sky.
Even White’s clone would be affected by his Saber Nurturing Technique, and the Heart Devil Scarlet Abyss Sword loved the effect of Saber Nurturing Technique. But Black-skinned Soft Feather remained completely unaffected by it, which was quite extraordinary.
“By the way, Song Shuhang,” the Heart Devil Scarlet Abyss Sword asked, ’twas your reaction just now due to someone hitting you in the heart?”
“Mistake. I got hit in the heart and then got caught off guard,” Song Shuhang sighed. At the same time, he telepathically summoned the virtuous lamia.
The virtuous lamia appeared while stretching lazily.
And she performed a short water snake waist dance for everyone’s entertainment.
It was absolutely stunning.
Song Shuhang applauded lightly.
Then he instructed, “Go with Black-skinned Soft Feather to the Core World to assist Immortal Fairy Bing Xue and Chu Chu in researching Xie Wang.”
“You can count on me, don’t worry about anything. And if you’re wondering why, it’s because ‘I’m here!’” the virtuous lamia said confidently.
The Core World opened, and she and Black-skinned Soft Feather entered it one after the other, disappearing.
Spirit Butterfly Island.
The Celestial Thearch lay on the table, her slender fingers piercing through thick wooden table.
“Was it an accident, or has Black-skinned Soft Feather detected his weakness?” she wondered.
If it was an accident… it would be too coincidental, right? She had just hit Song Shuhangs heart, and then she was hit in return?
If her weakness had indeed been discovered by the other party… it would be a nightmare for her.
“Shall I test it again?” the Celestial Thearch thought to herself.
“Not feeling well?” Song Shuhangs message came again.
“Senior Song. I suddenly felt a bit unwell,” the Celestial Thearch replied, still testing the waters.
Song Shuhang: “???”
This question seemed to be a part of the ‘Deadly Questions’ series on the internet?
Considering his relationship with the Heavenly Dao…
At this point, the most appropriate answer for him was naturally, “Stay hydrated.”
Song Shuhang, the unyielding straight-shooter.
Sometimes, men had to be direct to avoid any misunderstandings.
The Celestial Thearch was left speechless.
Could he afford it? She, the Celestial Thearch , was worth millions of spirit stones per second. Even if he were willing to pay, he wouldn’t have enough to engage in a conversation with her.
As a result, the Celestial Thearch declined to answer Song Shuhangs question and got straight to the point, avoiding any opportunities for Song Shuhang to lead the conversation in a different direction.
This was the correct way to converse with Song Shuhang, or rather, with most members of the ‘Nine Continents Number One Group.’ Their thought processes were often unpredictable, and if they took control of the conversation, who knew where it would end up?
“Senior Song, how much do you understand about creatures like the Xie Wang?” the Celestial Thearch asked directly.
Song Shuhang replied honestly, “l have some knowledge.”
He possessed a treasure trove of information about Xie Wang, including extensive data on Xle Wang and methods to deal with them. Plus, he had obtained research materials on turning Xie Wang into ingredients from the Demon Emperor. So, when he said he had ‘some knowledge,’ he wasn’t exaggerating.
“In that case, Senior Song, how much do you know about the ‘Demons’ and the ‘Catastrophe of the Immortals?” the Celestial Thearch continued. She had noticed Song Shuhangs desire to learn about these topics from his conversation with the Demon Emperor.
Song Shuhang replied, “I just want to know about these things.”
He was being sincere. He didn’t have much interest in these topics beyond what he needed to know to deal with Xie Wang and protect his friends.
“First, let me describe the concept of the ‘Demon World.’ Senior Song, you’re not unfamiliar with the Nine Hells World, are you?” the Celestial Thearch asked.
“l know it,” Song Shuhang replied.
“The ‘Demon World,’ or ‘Demon Sea,’ can be considered the predecessor of the Nine Hells World,” the Celestial Thearch explained. “Back in the ancient era, during the Primordial Age, the Heavenly Dao was pure and didn’t have entities like the ‘Nine Continents Dominator.’ There were no special beings similar to avatars or split bodies. The world corresponding to the current world was the ‘Demon Sea World,’ which had no Dominator and was controlled by the Heavenly Dao.”
“Entities like the ‘Nine Continents Dominator’ only came into existence during the Second Heavenly Dao Era. Since then, the ‘Demon Sea’ transformed into the ‘Nine Hells World,’ corresponding to the current world.”
“The Xie Wang is, in essence, the key to reopening the Demon World. When the Heavenly Dao collapses, and the Nine Hells World loses its Dominator, the world enters a ‘vacant’ period. During this time, seizing the opportunity theoretically allows one to revert the Nine Hells World back into the Demon World.’
“Of course, achieving this is impossible, even during my prime. So, if someone is trying to manipulate the Xie Wang to open the Demon World,’ they might only be aiming to recreate a small part of the Demon World within the vast ‘Nine Hells World.’
The Celestial Thearch slowly shared the information she knew with Song Shuhang.
Song Shuhang, halfway through listening, realized something interesting. “So, the collapse of the Heavenly Dao and the vacancy of the Nine Hells World are the main focus, right?”
“In theory, yes,” the Celestial Thearch replied.
Song Shuhang laughed heartily. “Haha, that’s a relief.”
He could relax now.
The Heavenly Dao Ball had collapsed, and the Fat Ball was finished…. but he still had White, Second White!
