2293 It’s not just Senior, look, this pot is big and round
“Is this a pillar?” asked the gorilla general in a hushed tone as he eyed the now pitch-black structure.
“This is an assault from the ruler of the Netherworld. Such an attack could harm the soul while targeting the body,” the gorilla general whispered.
“If it were anyone else, they’d likely be dead.”
With these thoughts, the gorilla general turned and asked, “Hamster, quickly check if the resurrection array is responding.”
The hamster was still reeling from its encounter with the sealing pillar. It produced a thick plume of smoke as it tried to regain composure. Its muscles twitched sporadically.
It seemed the hamster wouldn’t be of any use for the time being.
“I’ll have to go check myself,” the gorilla general concluded.
“Am I still alive?” a voice suddenly emanated from the sealing pillar.
Subsequently, the black smoke clinging to the pillar slowly receded and coalesced into human form.
Tyrannical Song was reconstituting himself!
“Incredible. He survived even that,” the gorilla general applauded.
“No, I feel like my whole body’s about to fall apart,” the smoky form of Song Shuhang lay weakly on the sealing pillar.
Luckily, Senior White Two’s previous attack had been purely physical in nature. Even while in a deep slumber, Senior White Two’s subconscious regulated the strength of the attack. With the aid of the ‘pseudo-immortal state,’ Song Shuhang managed to endure it.
“At least you’re alive. It’s better than the alternative,” the gorilla general offered solace.
“But something feels off. Is my body okay? I sense something strange,” mumbled Song Shuhang.
Just as he voiced this, a notification chimed in his mind.
[Ding! Virus Alert (Incomplete) has detected a ‘remote interference’ signal.]
The virus warning function had yet to be fully integrated with the ‘cultivation’ function, which was still undergoing upgrades. However, the standalone ‘virus warning’ function was already operational and capable of detecting the long-range probing of the Heavenly Dao Molt Ball.
“It’s finally here! Quick, let’s connect to Senior ‘More Than the Demon Emperor’!” Song Shuhang’s befuddled mind instantly sharpened at the warning.
“Senior, do you see this opportunity? It’s a golden one!”
“Damn it,” Song Shuhang lamented.
[Detected critical situation, danger level five stars. Activate Supreme VIP special communication channel to connect to the Demon Emperor.]
Song Shuhang was taken aback. A hidden function like this existed?
Would the channel not open if the danger level wasn’t high enough?
[Ding ~ Blacklist ‘More than Demon Emperor’ has rejected the special communication channel.]
Could it be that this Supreme VIP communication channel had been forcibly activated?
[Quickly connect to the Immortal Lord!] Song Shuhang’s mind raced, and he made a snap decision.
The Demon Emperor not only had sentience but also rejected the communication channel. But the Immortal Lord lay in eternal slumber, responding solely to instinct. It had a high chance of connecting to the special communication channel and taking on this massive responsibility.
[Confirm command, connecting to Immortal Lord.]
[Ding ~ Connection successful. Blacklist Immortal Lord connection begins.]
“Haha!” Song Shuhang erupted in laughter.
Indeed, adding more powerful seniors to his list had been a wise choice. Sometimes, two seniors weren’t enough.
The gorilla general and Little Sun T233 exchanged confused glances. In their view, Tyrannical Song had suddenly started shouting, jumping, and laughing.
Had he gone mad?
“Do you have any medicine? Do you want to feed it to him?” the gorilla general inquired.
“No medicine… and even if we had any, we can’t get it in there,” Little Sun T233 calmly surmised.
“Hello, Senior Immortal Lord. I believe this is our first official interaction, right?” Song Shuhang, having successfully established a connection, decided to strike up a conversation with the Immortal Lord.
At the same time, he summoned Lady Long Luo within his mind and tasked her with monitoring the virus warning function to see if the Heavenly Dao Molt Ball’s long-distance lock had been lifted.
The Immortal Lord remained unresponsive. He was deep in slumber due to forcibly encountering the information of immortality. Waking him up wouldn’t be easy.
“Although this is our first conversation, I’ve been friends with you for quite some time, Senior Immortal Lord. It’s good to finally make your acquaintance,” Song Shuhang said cheerfully.
[Transfer successful.] Lady Long Luo reported.
As with previous instances, Song Shuhang had successfully directed the Heavenly Dao Molt Ball’s long-distance interference and lock toward the Immortal Lord.
In the next moment, a strange sound echoed within the communication channel shared by the Immortal Lord and Song Shuhang.
Soon after, the connection with Song Shuhang was severed.
This had been an invisible showdown between him and the Heavenly Dao Remnant Sphere. While it might have seemed like a casual action, Song Shuhang had narrowly escaped death three times. It had been an immensely thrilling and exhilarating experience.
“Today, Song Shuhang lives to see another day,” he chuckled.
[Congratulations, Administrator Tyrannical Song.] Lady Long Luo sent her congratulations from a distance.
[Ding ~ More than the Demon Emperor has transferred a drop of energy to you. What do you want to do with it? I’ll have you know, no matter what you try, it’s futile.]
Not only did the Demon Emperor foresee Song Shuhang’s backbiting, but it also revealed that Profound Sage Tyrannical Song had been plotting to murder him secretly!
This was quite different from merely trash-talking behind someone’s back. It was an outright assassination attempt.
Indeed, the Demon Emperor’s secretive curses against him had only been a test.
Song Shuhang smiled faintly and transferred a drop of energy back to the Demon Emperor. [I wanted to gift you something earlier. It was a high-level gift, but alas, you missed the opportunity. I’ve since given that gift to another senior.]
The Demon Emperor scoffed in utter disbelief.
