Chapter 2940: Conversation as Deep as the Ocean

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Senior Island Master, you can move in whenever you’re ready. I’ve already granted you access,” Song Shuhang, who was currently hovering between life and death on the throne, said aloud.

“Got it. I’m on my way,” the Island Master replied.

Given the Golden Trigram Island Master’s current cultivation level, moving all the fragments of the Heavenly Court from the mysterious island wouldn’t be an issue at all.

After that, Song Shuhang responded to the Northern Emperor: “Senior Northern Emperor, I’ve consolidated all the fragments of the Heavenly Court into one area and separated that area from the rest of the core world. You can conduct the ceremony without any worries. However, due to some personal reasons, the Heavenly Emperor’s Throne Two will be transferred to you a bit later.”

“I understand. My Turtle has already informed me that you’ve exploded again and are currently resurrecting at the ‘Heavenly Emperor’s Palace,’” the Northern Emperor replied. “We also need to wait for Golden Trigram to move the ‘Heavenly Court fragments’ over before starting the ceremony. This buffer time should be enough for your physical body to revive.”

“That’s good to hear,” Song Shuhang replied. News sure travels fast—no sooner had he exploded than the Northern Emperor got wind of it.

“By the way, how did you explode this time?” the Northern Emperor asked, taking advantage of the brief lull before the ceremony out of curiosity.

Song Shuhang wasn’t the inexperienced “fake Profound Sage” he had been a few months ago. Now, as a genuine Tribulation Immortal who had severed three corpses, he was someone even the most powerful beings across the heavens and earth would respect as a “big shot.”

Even someone like the Northern Emperor, a top-tier immortal, couldn’t simply cause Song Shuhang to explode without any warning.

“If I told you I did it to spread some New Year’s cheer, would you believe me, Senior?” Song Shuhang responded.

The Northern Emperor paused for a moment before replying, “If it were someone else, I wouldn’t believe it. But coming from you… yeah, I actually would. It sounds like something you’d do. I’ll be sure to share this with the others.”

Song Shuhang:

Your confidence in me is too heavy, Senior Northern Emperor. I can’t bear it.

“See you in a bit,” the Northern Emperor concluded, not giving Song Shuhang a chance to explain further, and ended the call.

Back on the Heavenly Emperor’s Throne Two, Song Shuhang, still suspended between life and death, resembled a misty cloud curled up on the throne.

He tapped the armrest of the throne lightly with his fingers.

Of course, the reason he exploded wasn’t just because he wanted to.

Even though he had died countless times in the past year, he wasn’t like Yunyi Ziqi from the Profound Girl Sect, who enjoyed courting death. He wasn’t a fan of dying. If he could avoid it, he would much rather stay alive… after all, resurrection artifacts are expensive.

That said, there was a reason for this “New Year’s First Explosion” of Song Shuhang’s.

The catalyst for the explosion was related to that “Stellar Destruction Virus.”

The Stellar Destruction Virus was the fuse, while the “Stellar Doomsday Demon Skull” that Fat Ball had sealed and sent him at the end of last year served as the spark that ignited it.

During this period, Song Shuhang had intentionally suppressed his Spirit Ghost Fairy, the Merit Snake Beauty, the Nine-Repair Phoenix Sabre, and other “attachments” instead of snuffing out the spark and fuse. He had quietly cooperated instead.

Then… at the moment his body exploded, the “Cultivation Chat System” managed to lock onto an ID in the background.

To be honest, even Song Shuhang himself hadn’t expected this “follow-the-thread” tactic to be so successful.

So successful, it was like Senior White had taken over his body!

He had been prepared to use the “Law of Cause and Effect,” along with the help of the Confucian Sage’s Eye, Senior White Two, the Three-Eyed Senior, Dog Egg Dad, Song Youyou, and Lady Long Luo, to forcibly track down the existence behind the “Stellar Doomsday Demon Skull” and the “Virtual Sun Guardian.”

But before he could even make his move, the “Cultivation Chat System” quietly locked onto a user ID.

Yes… the terrifying entity behind the Virtual Sun Guardian and the Stellar Doomsday Demon had actually registered an account on the “Cultivation Chat System” and even downloaded a “client.”

And at the exact moment of Song Shuhang’s explosion, that terrifying entity launched a powerful attack on the “Cultivation Chat System,” trying to seize it for itself!

This was a true powerhouse!

Far more domineering and powerful than any of the big shots Song Shuhang had faced before!

Even the likes of Demon Emperor Hezhi couldn’t figure out how to deal with the “Cultivation Chat System” and had been toying with the idea of deleting Song Shuhang as a friend for days without success.

But this hidden powerhouse had already figured out a way to attack the “Cultivation Chat System” and was even implementing it.

Unfortunately… the entity’s attempt failed as soon as it began.

The “Cultivation Chat System” was far more unique than anticipated!

So unique, it was impossible to take over!

The system was an extension of Song Shuhang’s very existence, tied to his “Path of Immortality,” making it one of a kind.

As long as Song Shuhang existed, so would the “Cultivation Chat System.” If Song Shuhang perished, so would the system.

Moreover, behind the “Cultivation Chat System” stood Lady Long Luo, who served as the ultimate shield. Without breaking through Lady Long Luo’s defenses, the entity couldn’t even touch the system, let alone influence it.

To seize the “Cultivation Chat System,” one would first have to seize its root—Song Shuhang.

Only by capturing Song Shuhang could they claim the “Cultivation Chat System.”

After failing, the terrifying entity swiftly erased all traces of its actions… then deleted its account!

Using a method Song Shuhang was quite familiar with the “Heavenly Dao Black Room” technique of erasing all roots.

The erasure was confined to the “Cultivation Chat System.”

This impressive and flawless operation even made Lady Long Luo’s scalp tingle.

After erasing all traces, the entity disappeared without a trace.

It was as if nothing had ever happened.

Flawless. No evidence left behind.

However…

There are always things in this world that defy expectations.

When the resurrection ability of the “Immortal Fat Whale Golden Core” kicked in and Song Shuhang was reborn on the “Heavenly Emperor’s Throne Two,” the missing data in the “Cultivation Chat System” was also restored.

The only data ever missing in the “Cultivation Chat System” was the account of that terrifying entity behind the scenes.

So… after the entity deleted its account and left, a gray ID quietly resurrected in Song Shuhang’s “Cultivation Chat System.”

“Heh heh heh,” Song Shuhang chuckled.

The resurrected gray ID was now in “offline” status but still tightly connected to the terrifying entity behind the scenes.

“But now’s not the time,” Song Shuhang murmured softly.

Rushing to confront that terrifying entity now would only alert it.

Song Shuhang shifted his focus away from that gray ID, avoiding it so that the entity wouldn’t sense anything and become suspicious.
