Chapter 2585: Without The Ability To Read Lines, What Is The Point Of My Existence?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Song Shuhang had already pondered over sending some formidable demons from the Netherworld to the main world to target the Xie Wang, thereby thwarting the progress of the Limitless Demon Sect’s plan and complicating the sect’s Demon Nation Plan. After all, one cannot witness a rainbow without first enduring a storm. The more challenging the execution of the Limitless Demon Sect’s Devil Nation Plan became, the less likely they would be to harbor suspicions.
Yet, Song Shuhang held reservations. Once the demons of the Netherworld left their realm, they would no longer be under the jurisdiction of the temporary ruler of the Netherworld, which would make it difficult to restrain them with authority.
At that point, after the Netherworld demons were tasked with eliminating the Xie Wang, they themselves could take the Xie Wangs place and create chaos in the main world, presenting an even greater headache.
After all, Xie Wang were akin to a homebody disaster, typically confined to a specific territory that could be sealed and monitored. However, the demons of the Netherworld were a different story; they were a roving disaster which made them much more troublesome to deal with.
Now, upon encountering the seven Tribulation Transcender Realm demons of the Netherworld, the plan to target Xie Wang resurfaced in Song Shuhangs mind.
These seven Ninth-rank demons felt to him like they were Senior White Two’s pets. Although they were still Netherworld demons, they had already shed the malicious pleasure of ‘killing or being killed’ that typical Netherworld demons indulged in.
If it were them, perhaps it could work?
“Senior Striped Dragon Two,” Song Shuhang turned and addressed the formidable Striped Dragon Two, “I wanted to ask—
“No problem,” Striped Dragon Two cut in before Song Shuhang could finish.
Song Shuhang blinked in surprise.
He quickly touched Song Four’s cold face. Could it be that not even Song Four’s icy demeanor could shield his inner thoughts and secrets from the powerful beings?
After having his lines stolen, now he wasn’t even allowed to finish speaking?
Without the ability to deliver lines, what purpose did he serve?
“It’s not about reading faces; it’s about reading minds. Don’t forget, I was just collaborating with you. We entered the ‘human-dragon unity’ state and summoned the Netherworld demons. I haven’t left this synchronized state yet, so I’m intimately familiar with your thoughts. You have no privacy in front of me now,” Striped Dragon Two said with a cold laugh.
Song Shuhang was speechless.
So, the fleeting thoughts that crossed his mind had all been read by Striped Dragon Two?
“Exactly. For instance, when you saw the multi-legged dragon, you compared me to it and even maliciously speculated about how I would look if my body was covered in legs. Or when you saw the rainbow dragon, you imagined filling my body’s stripes with rainbow colors. I didn’t miss any of it. In the
brief time we’ve met, not only did the ‘Sniper Xie Wang Plan’ pop you’re your mind, but so did many other imaginative scenarios and plots. You’re quite the thinker,” Striped Dragon Two continued with a cold laugh.
Song Shuhang was speechless again.
Thus, mind reading was the most annoying thing. One day, he vowed to abolish the face-reading technique across all worlds… and the mind-reading technique as well. He was determined to create an era that valued privacy.
“After the Demon Sea issue is resolved, I’ll attach four more legs to you and make you a man with six legs. I’ll also add a layer of rainbow stripes to make you stand out. Don’t worry, I’m quite skilled at these experiments,” Senior Striped Dragon Two said, lightly patting Song Shuhang with his beard.
Then, it exited the ‘human-dragon unity’ state. Mind reading was a trivial skill for a top-notch big shot, usable at will.
However, it had no interest in reading Song Shuhangs mind. Who knew how this guy’s thought process was wired? His thoughts jumped rapidly, and his mind was filled with one lurid thought after another. Being in sync with Song Shuhang meant constantly receiving junk information and heart-wrenching images.
“Six legs, rainbow-colored?” Song Shuhang pondered for a moment, then exclaimed with joy, “Alright, thank you, Senior!”
Striped Dragon Two was puzzled.
“Six legs are brilliant,” Song Shuhang said. With six legs, if he ever wanted to split himself in half in the future, he could start by cutting off two legs to form one half of his body, then another two for the other half.
Effectively, he’d gain two extra halves out of nowhere, a sure win.
“After the Demon Sea matter is settled, Senior, please attach four more legs to me,” Song Shuhang cheerfully requested. Moreover, if he could master the technique Striped Dragon Two used to attach the four legs, he might be able to deduce the principle behind it. Then, he could assemble a complete clone!
Striped Dragon Two was speechless.
Communicating with this guy was exhausting, and he wasn’t even particularly good-looking.
Thus, it decided to remain silent, no longer engaging in Song Shuhangs banter, and turned its attention to its four dragon king protectors.
Striped Dragon Two beckoned with a wave of its hand.
The four demonic dragons stepped forward in unison, ready to introduce themselves to Song Shuhang.
“I am Cheng Zuan, Dragon King of the Eastern Abyss,” the Diamond Bone Dragon said in a deep voice.
“I am Cheng Gang, Dragon King of the Western Abyss,” the steel dragon declared solemnly.
“I am Cheng Duo, Dragon King of the Southern Abyss,” the centipede dragon whispered softly.
“I am Cheng Hong, Dragon King of the Northern Abyss,” the rainbow-patterned dragon added.
As Song Shuhang nodded silently, he said to Senior Striped Dragon Two, “Senior, I’ve realized your talent for naming is truly abysmal… It’s precisely because of individuals like you that the cultivation world has names like Basic Diamond Fist Technique and Sword Dragging Technique.”
Compared to the arbitrary names of the four dragon kings, Song Shuhang suddenly found the daoist name ‘Fairy Cheng Lin’ to be beautifully poetic.
Indeed, everything in the world requires contrast and backdrop for its beauty to emerge.
“I’ve decided, Cheng Lin,” Striped Dragon Two suddenly said with a gentle smile, gently tapping Song Shuhang with its whisker, “I’ll change your daoist name. From today on, your daoist name will be… Cheng Goudan!”
Striped Dragon Two’s words seemed to carry the power of destiny.
Song Shuhang felt as though the daoist name ‘Cheng Lin’, inherited from Fairy Deathless, had been changed to ‘Cheng Goudan’?
Was this for real?
As Song Shuhang pondered, his ‘cultivation chat’ private chat notification went off wildly.
Several messages popped up in an instant.
Who was sending urgent messages?
Opening the chat, Song Shuhang saw:
[Fairy Couldn’t Be More Dead] Cheng Goudan: n ???”
Cheng Goudan: “!!!”
Cheng Goudan: “Song, what have you done? Tell me, what exactly have you done?”
Cheng Goudan: “Come out, stop playing dead. I was so angry I leapt out of bed.
Come out! Tell me, what does Cheng Goudan mean?”
[ServerCheng GoudanGroup Owner] Song Shuhang: .
The two Cheng Goudans faced each other in a harmonious standoff..
