Chapter 2931: Indeed, You Are Its True Form!
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“If only it were my clone instead of Fat Ball Big Boss’s clone!” Song Shuhang couldn’t help but let this thought cross his mind as he received the New Year’s gift box.
Fat Ball was incredibly capable!
As an enemy, it was undoubtedly one of the most troublesome adversaries. But as an ally, it was one of the most reliable partners.
And it was different from the “Core World Assistant” and “Ms. Long Luo,” who were more management-oriented helpers, focused on internal affairs. Fat Ball was the type of assistant that specialized in expanding operations, focusing on external matters.
With the Core World Assistant, Ms. Long Luo, and Fat Ball, both internal and external affairs were covered. Having even one of these assistants would stabilize everything; having both was nothing short of wonderful.
“Aren’t you going to open it, Main Body?” Seeing that its Main Body had accepted the New Year’s gift it had carefully prepared, Ball Shuhang was in a very good mood.
Song Shuhang held the gift box. “Can I open it now?”
It felt a bit awkward to open a gift right in front of someone.
“Of course! I put a lot of thought into this gift just for you, so why wouldn’t you open it? Besides, I’m really looking forward to surprising you!” Ball Shuhang said, bouncing on the ground.
Song Shuhang placed the box on the ground and grabbed the handle. “Alright, I’m opening it.”
“Happy New Year, Main Body! Wishing you prosperity in the new year!” Ball Shuhang exclaimed.
Song Shuhang took a deep breath and gently opened the New Year’s gift box.
To be cautious, he prepared to use his spatial abilities. If anything seemed off, he could immediately transfer the box to a specific location within the Core World.
There was a Heavenly Dao Sealing Pillar originally used to seal the Confucian Saint’s Classics ready and waiting there. If something unexpected happened, the pillar could seal whatever was in the box right away.
Although Ball Shuhang had lost its memory, it was once the ruler of the Nine Serenities. Its idea of a “gift” might be very different from that of ordinary people.
When it mentioned a surprise gift, it might be something extremely dangerous. One had to be on guard.
Click the box opened, revealing a small sealing pillar.
“Huh?” Song Shuhang was surprised.
The gift came with a sealing pillar?
Moreover, this sealing technique was the improved version of the one Fat Ball had used to ambush Senior White Two, capable of sealing even a ruler of the Nine Serenities.
Was this gift something that even Fat Ball found threatening?
Inside the small seal was a severed head, along with a cloud of violent, virus-ridden mist.
At the core of this mist was a tiny particle that resembled a piece of iron… The moment Song Shuhang’s gaze fell upon it, his eyes started to ache slightly.
Simultaneously, his Immortal Fat Whale Golden Core in his natal dantian was stimulated, and the usually motionless whale suddenly had the urge to leap over the Dragon Gate.
“Is this the Star Destruction Virus source?” Song Shuhang guessed aloud.
The violent mist looked even purer than the “Star Destruction Virus” that he and Senior White had detonated in the Dream Realm’s illusory sun.
Moreover, it triggered a resonance with the immortal attribute of his Fat Whale Golden Core.
So, this might be the Star Destruction Virus Source with true immortal properties mentioned in the shadow left by the Immortal Karma Daoist—something even the authority of the Heavenly Dao couldn’t erase!
Based on the pain in his eyes—staring at this tiny iron particle hurt far less than when he looked at the Immortal Daoist’s immortal body in his dream.
This iron particle virus source seemed to be on the same level as Skylark’s “Immortal Bone” or his “Immortal Fat Whale Golden Core”possessing immortal qualities but differing from the Heavenly Dao’s version of immortality.
“You guessed right, Main Body. This is indeed the virus source.” Ball Shuhang looked at its Main Body with a bit of admiration.
It wasn’t surprised that its Main Body could stare at the core of the Star Destruction Virus Source for so long without being affected!
Despite its small size, this iron particle carried an immortal attribute, emitting immortal information. A normal cultivator’s consciousness would be devoured just by staring at it; even an Eternal Being would be unable to resist its allure and would be drawn into it.
Even Fat Ball had to quickly look away after a couple of glances to avoid being affected.
But its Main Body stared at the particle without flinching, completely unaffected.
“My Main Body is just that strong!”
“I didn’t expect you to actually find the Star Destruction Virus Source. Well done!” Song Shuhang praised him.
This New Year’s gift was truly unexpected.
“Hehe” Ball Shuhang rolled around on the ground—receiving praise from its Main Body gave it a feeling of being acknowledged for its strength. It was like it had managed to make its Main Body completely concede in a certain area, and the feeling was incredible!
Song Shuhang turned the sealing pillar around and asked, “Whose head is this?”
Aside from the Star Destruction Virus Source, the sealing pillar also contained a head.
The head looked like a red skeleton, with skin tightly wrapped around the bones, complete with horns like those of a demon from Western mythology—a stereotypical villain face.
If one looked closely, there seemed to be some kind of war paint on the red skeleton’s face, though it had been wiped off—likely during the fight.
“This guy was the one who tried to release the Star Destruction Virus,” Fat Ball replied with a grin. “I found him secretly lurking in the solar system, trying to release the virus into the Sun to ruin your New Year. So, I quietly set up a sealing formation and took him down without a sound. I wanted to keep his body intact, but he wasn’t weak, so I had to blow up his body and bring back only his head.”
Song Shuhang was stunned.
This guy was planning to release the virus into the Sun?
If not for Ball Shuhang’s timely intervention, the entire solar system might have been doomed.
“Even though I only brought back the head, I’m sure you’ll be able to extract enough information from his brain,” Fat Ball said.
Song Shuhang did have Senior White’s personally taught “Memory CDEF Disk Extraction Method,” but he wasn’t sure if it would work on this head.
Memory extraction techniques usually involved overpowering a weaker opponent… and generally only worked on those at a lower level than oneself.
Moreover, this head looked like it had been killed by Fat Ball. He wasn’t sure if Senior White’s memory extraction method could be used on a corpse.
Just as Song Shuhang was pondering, the demonic skull inside the sealing pillar suddenly opened its eyes.
Its pupils glowed with a piercing red light.
“So, you’re its true form? No doubt, you must be the Heavenly Dao’s contingency plan. You have the same origin energy as it does! I never imagined this generation’s Heavenly Dao would leave such a contingency behind.” The demonic skull spoke in an ancient language.
Song Shuhang glanced down at the mechanical girl in his hand.
