Chapter 3098: Chapter 3096: The Stage Is Set, Just Waiting for the Actors to Take Their Places
 

“You’re leaving so soon, don’t you want to stay a bit longer?” the Reincarnation Blade Fairy asked.

In the past, when disciples from the Su Clan finished their evolution with her, they would try to stay longer.

If she was awake, she could take some time to give speeches and provide guidance to the disciples of the Su Clan.

If she was asleep, just observing the nature of the primordial treasure itself could bring endless enlightenment to the Su Clan’s disciples.

But now, after the evolution was complete, Tyrannical Song and Su Clan’s Sixteen seemed eager to leave, causing her to feel a touch of disappointment—a twinge in her heart. Even if you have two primordial treasures at home, making such treasures seem less precious, you could still show some respect and stay a bit longer, just for courtesy.

“There’s no need to be polite, Reincarnation Blade Senior, just leave us an access permission… We’ll come to visit whenever we can. We’re a bit busy today, we have to go to the Ancient Nether and plant some pillars,” Song Shuhang replied with a smile.

Well, when someone says ‘don’t stay any longer,’ it’s generally just being polite, so he figured the Reincarnation Blade Fairy was probably just being courteous with them as well.

“Fine, I’ll give you the permission to open the door. But every time you come over, give me a shout first. If I’m awake, then come over,” the Reincarnation Blade Senior declared.

“Then Senior, we’ll see you in a bit,” Song Shuhang waved his hand—he would definitely come over whenever he was free. Even if his main body was busy, he could use a clone to accompany Su Clan’s Sixteen and observe the form of the Reincarnation Blade’s primordial treasure, which would be beneficial for Sixteen’s cultivation.

“By the way, if you’re leaving, does Fellow Daoist White Dragon have any business here? If not, stay behind and chat with me for a bit?” the Reincarnation Blade Fairy added at the last moment, unable to help herself.

The White Dragon was clearly puzzled: “???”

Why did the Reincarnation Blade Fairy suddenly become so familiar with her? Were they even that compatible in conversation?

“No, I have some things to deal with as well. I feel I’m about ready to resurrect,” replied the White Dragon after some thought, tactfully refusing: “I’ll come and chat with you after my resurrection, Reincarnation Blade Daoist.”

Now, in her current state of being a body of virtue, being away from Sixteen for extended periods of time would eventually prove inconvenient… Once her real body was resurrected, she would come and keep the Reincarnation Blade Fairy company, to see if it was possible to take her out for a stroll.

“Then it’s settled,” the Reincarnation Blade Fairy said cheerfully.

The White Dragon nodded in response.

—By the way, am I really that charming?

The White Dragon became curious about herself.

…

…

After getting the access permission from the Reincarnation Blade Fairy, Song Shuhang took Sixteen and traversed through space to arrive outside the Reincarnation Hall—Su Clan’s Shield Maiden and Su Clan’s Knot were waiting for them outside.

“Has Sixteen completed her metamorphosis?” Su Clan’s Shield Maiden caught a glimpse of Sixteen and affirmed instantly.

“Yes, thanks to the blessings of the Fairy and the Ancestor,” Sixteen responded with a bow toward her two ancestors.

“What are your plans next?” asked Su Clan’s Knot Ancestor.

“First, we need to take a trip to the Ancient Nether to establish a root pillar…” Song Shuhang replied softly.

After that, their time was limited.

Daoist Senior was already preparing his plans for abdication.

“Fellow Daoist Tyrannical Song, you’re always so busy… I envy you young folks, always brimming with endless tasks and seemingly inexhaustible vigor,” mused Su Clan’s Knot Ancestor.

He hadn’t known Tyrannical Song for very long, but from their interactions, he always got the impression that Tyrannical Song was perpetually ‘running.’

Rushing forward without ever stopping.

It was only during the Su Clan’s annual gatherings, when members of the Nine Provinces Number One Group took the time to rest together, that he saw Tyrannical Song’s ‘overbearing run’ come to a brief pause—that group was the haven for Tyrannical Song’s soul.

This relentless version of Tyrannical Song reminded the Knot Ancestor of himself from a very long time ago, when he was also young and full of vigor.

“Actually, I’m not as great as you make it sound,” Song Shuhang said modestly.

“A motivated salted fish.” the White Dragon said slowly.

Song Shuhang: “…”

“When you’re done with your busy schedule, if you have time, come find us at Su Clan.” Su Clan’s Knot said. “After that, let’s form a group and go check out the ‘Gem Domain’ together.”

“Gem Domain? Is that Spirit River Su Clan’s territory?” Song Shuhang asked.

Su Clan’s Knot was taken aback and asked in confusion, “Fellow Daoist Tyrannical Song, you don’t know?”

Song Shuhang: “???”

“In the Gem Domain, there are ‘Tombs of Immortality’ of both the Second Wielder of the Will and the Third Wielder of the Will showing their divinity at the same time. This news has already spread throughout the myriad practitioners in the universe… Right now, many Immortals and Tribulation Transcenders must have gone to the Gem Domain. After all, they are relics of two Wielders of the Will.” Su Clan’s Knot replied.

Song Shuhang stroked his chin, contemplating.

The ‘Tombs of Immortality’ of Senior Three Eyes and Heavenly Dao Father Goudan?

And they both appeared in the same place?

This must be a trap!

Because, if Senior Three Eyes’ Tomb of Immortality was in the ‘Gem Domain’, the first thing Heavenly Dao Father Goudan would do is definitely to dig up Senior Three Eyes’ ancient tomb and scatter the ashes. Then he would transform Senior Three Eyes’ tomb into his own and install himself inside.

There can be no second possibility. Heavenly Dao Father Goudan would certainly do something like that.

So, the simultaneous appearance of two tombs is absolutely impossible!

At this thought, Song Shuhang’s mind stirred, and he remembered the words of ‘Daozi’ Senior—Daozi Senior was secretly scheming a ‘premature retirement’ plan. Moreover, he was secretly trying to gather all the ‘Immortals’ from the myriad practitioners in the universe.

Now it seemed that this might be the trap that Daozi Senior, Heavenly Dao Father Goudan, and Senior Three Eyes had set up together.

“I’ll go. If I return early, I’ll make arrangements with the Seniors and head there together,” Song Shuhang nodded.

Once the ‘Immortals’ of the heaven and earth gathered enough, according to Daozi Senior’s script, it would be his or Senior White’s turn to make an entrance and accept challenges from the big shots of the myriad practitioners in the universe, right?

The stage was already set.

Just waiting for the actors to take their places.

…

…

Black Dragon World • Ancient Nether

The self-corpse maintained a power-output posture, sustaining a pillar that resembled an ‘Overlord God Pillar’ with energy.

Senior White squatted on the ground, drawing a circle with a branch.

Inside the circle, some of the ‘Ancient Nether’ special creatures were hopping around—it was something like a small crayfish, milky white in color, and possessing great jumping strength.

Senior White confined them within the circle, and any creature that jumped out was promptly flicked back into the circle with the branch.

Chu Pavilion Master’s Dumb Hair was stuck to Senior White’s head, constantly swaying, its tip penetrating the vacuum and occasionally capturing new ‘small crayfish’ to bring over for Senior White to play with.

“They look quite tasty.” Scarlet Heaven Sword returned to its sword form, floating in the vacuum.

Meteor Sword followed behind it, seeming envious of Scarlet Heaven Sword.

At that moment, a space gate opened.

“I’m back.” Song Shuhang stepped through the space gate and said, “Senior White, I have some new insights regarding the ‘Sole Dominator of Myriad Realms’ concept. It might relate to the Ancient Nether’s pillar insertion. I’ll transmit these insights to you, please receive them!”

“Sole Dominator of Myriad Realms? Are you going to kill all the other Song Shuhangs?” Senior White looked up, his face full of confusion.
