Song Shuhang clearly wasn’t giving up. He even ran to the wooden door in hopes of detaining the ball.
Senior Three-Eyed Young Man leaned back in his rocking chair and calmly said, “Little Tyrannical Song, there’s no need to keep pestering it. No matter how much you taunt it, it won’t come in. According to our agreement, since it won’t enter, we’ll have to let go of this wager.”
The rain continued to fall from the sky.
For some inexplicable reason, even after witnessing Song Shuhang lose his gambling stake, Senior Three-Eyed’s mood didn’t improve.
“My Lord, our old friend has passed away. No matter how much you miss them, they can’t be brought back,” the eyeball butler holding the umbrella offered gentle consolation. But then, it suddenly added, “So, please, My Lord, put an end to this storm. It has been raining excessively lately, and I fear my rheumatism is about to flare up.”
Senior Three-Eyed was speechless.
“Which eye of yours saw me yearning for my old friend?” he retorted.
“Senior Three-Eyed, as long as we can lure the fat ball into this small world, we can consider the bet established, right?” Song Shuhang looked at the smurf account of the fat ball, who was descending from the Throne of Wealth, and secretly transmitted his thoughts.
“As long as you have the ability,” the three-eyed youth replied.
Song Shuhang nodded vigorously.
“Hey, Tyrannical Song, you’re not thinking of using yourself as bait to lure the ball, are you?” the eyeball butler asked.
As he spoke, the large metal umbrella in his hand tilted slightly towards the three-eyed youth and caused a deluge of rainwater to drench him.
The three-eyed youth was rendered speechless.
“Don’t worry, Senior. I won’t do anything that suicidal,” Song Shuhang assured. The risk of being bait was too high. After all, the prey was too enormous. He might be snatched away by the fat ball boss as soon as he exposed half of his body and leave nothing behind.
“This is an opportunity we can’t afford to miss. So, at this moment, I have to take a gamble.” Song Shuhang secretly formed a hand seal just in case.
Then, he shouted to the fat ball, “Fat Ball, please wait.”
Song Shuhang could tell that the fat ball’s smurf could move freely in the main world because of its fusion with the remnant body of the Heavenly Dao Molt Ball and the presence of the dragon-shaped commander’s seal inside it.
A magical tool left behind by the formidable Striped Dragon before his Dao vindication was truly extraordinary.
If he could extract the dragon-shaped commander’s seal, the fat ball’s mobility in the main world would undoubtedly be severely hampered.
So, even though it was a bit risky, it was worth a shot.
The fat ball on the staircase of the Throne of Wealth didn’t even turn its head when it heard Song Shuhang’s voice.
It had already made up its mind to ignore Profound Sage Tyrannical Song today.
No matter how much the other party provoked or mocked it, it remained steadfast.
It continued to descend the stairs at its own pace while leaving a mark on the Throne of Wealth with each step.
“Fat Ball… Do you still remember the part of you that was bitten off by a very famous saint in ancient times?” Behind him, Song Shuhang dropped a bombshell.
This was precisely what the fat ball was most concerned about!
Unlike the other Wielders of the Will, the fat ball’s primary form was forced to resign, not voluntarily. After the battle with the Scholarly Sage, its ‘existence’ was incomplete, and it left behind a hidden danger when it advanced to the Wielder of the Will.
The moment this topic was brought up, the fat ball boss’s smurf, which had been hopping around, suddenly turned around.
“You know about it?” the fat ball boss said while clearly enunciating each word.
“Actually, I have a huge secret,” Song Shuhang began. “Actually, I…”
“You are indeed the reincarnation of the Scholarly Sage!” the fat ball boss exclaimed suddenly.
Song Shuhang’s expression turned into one of bewilderment.
“I’ve been closely monitoring the scholarly faction in the main world. Although I can’t directly spy on them, I’ve been gathering information about them through indirect means. I never expected you to hide so deeply, Scholarly Sage. In such circumstances, you managed to employ a secret technique to reincarnate and live another life while deceiving my Heavenly Dao and the myriad worlds,” the fat ball’s smurf declared gravely.
“Wait, Fat Ball. That’s not the secret I’m talking about,” Song Shuhang clarified.
Something was amiss with the script.
He wanted to use his dramatic operation to lure the fat ball boss closer, but just as he began, the fat ball boss took over the stage.
“You don’t need to say anything. Once you step out of this small world, I will undoubtedly devour you,” the fat ball boss stated firmly.
Song Shuhang was left speechless.
“Even though I initially planned to crush you to death, after doing so, I still intend to devour you and leave no trace behind. This time, you won’t have the chance to reincarnate, Scholarly Sage,” the fat ball remarked.
“I’m not the reincarnation of the Scholarly Sage,” Song Shuhang quickly clarified.
“It doesn’t matter whether you are or not; the outcome will remain the same,” the fat ball responded slowly.
In any case, it intended to crush them to death.
“Even if you crush me to death or devour me, you won’t gain any information about the existence that the Scholarly Sage bit off,” Song Shuhang stated with a smile.
The fat ball boss’s smurf froze.
“Actually, Big Boss Fatty Ball, you know better than anyone else whether I’m the reincarnation of the Scholarly Sage. You don’t have to deceive yourself. You can see that I’m not anyone’s reincarnation,” Song Shuhang continued.
“Do you want to know where that existence you lost is? Do you want to know where that existence is now?” Song Shuhang inquired slowly.
His voice held a seductive allure, akin to that of a devil.
At least for the fat ball, this temptation was irresistible. After all, it had been searching for that ‘existence’ for tens of thousands of years.
“You know where that thing is?” A solitary eye manifested on the fat ball, locking onto Song Shuhang.
“Yes, I know. I know precisely where that thing is,” Song Shuhang affirmed.
“I’ll wait for you outside this throne,” the fat ball’s smurf declared in a determined tone.
With that, it continued its descent without looking back.
“No need for that, Fatty Ball. In fact, I can tell you right now where the thing you lost is,” Song Shuhang said calmly, devoid of emotion.
The fat ball was taken aback.
“That thing is distant, yet it’s right in front of us,” Song Shuhang pointed at Senior Three-Eyed and said, “The Throne of Wealth has a rule. Whenever you make a bet with the throne’s owner, you stand to gain a substantial treasure if you win. Conversely, if you lose, you have to pay with both hands.” The fat ball boss’s single eye immediately fixed on the three-eyed youth.
“As for me, Senior Three-Eyed and I had two bets,” Song Shuhang added..
