2287 Let’s All Die Happily Together
“Do you guys have a resurrection array?” Song Shuhang inquired once more.
“It’s useless. When it comes to heavenly punishments, even a resurrection array is futile. Everything will be reduced to ashes under heavenly punishment, and there’s no escaping it. Please refrain from contacting me further. Our secret realm can’t hold out any longer; it’s already shrouded in heavenly punishment. If you contact me through long-range energy transmission again, you’ll be dragged into this punishment as well. Please refrain from leaving any more messages… I’m delighted to have received your message in the last moments of my life,” the Tooth Fairy swiftly replied.
After sending her response, contact was cut off.
Song Shuhang was left speechless.
This woman dragged a long trail of sins behind her.
Hold on a moment. Previously, Cheng Lin turned off her communication devices. Even private chats were rerouted to the formidable Striped Dragon. Had she already received this information and was evading the heavenly punishment?
But that didn’t make sense. Hadn’t Fairy Cheng Lin already ‘withdrawn’ from the Heavenly Court’s Dao? Why would she need to hide?
After pondering for a moment, Song Shuhang sent another message to the Tooth Fairy. “If your resurrection array is hidden in another world outside the secret realm, you might still have a way to avoid the heavenly punishment. Only the ‘deceased’ can elude it. Therefore, before you get obliterated by the heavenly punishment, find a way to ‘die.’ This is the only method I’ve personally tested to escape the heavenly punishment. Please try it!”
There was another option, which involved Senior White Two intervening and using his unique technique to completely separate the head from the body and create two distinct entities. Then, the body could bear the brunt of the heavenly punishment while the detached head sought a way to revive. However, this plan required Senior White Two’s assistance, so it had to be abandoned.
Senior White Two wouldn’t risk entering the range of the heavenly punishment for the sake of a group of Heavenly Court members.
The ruler of the Netherworld was not a savior.
After ending the conversation with the Tooth Fairy, Song Shuhang continued scrolling through his friend list.
As he scrolled, his attention landed on the name of his ‘scoundrel friend.’
After a moment’s thought, he clicked on ‘friends’ and sent a message. “The current ‘Heaven’ is forcibly reclaiming the Heavenly Court’s path. Be cautious.”
From various perspectives and standpoints, it seemed that the Heavenly Emperor hadn’t been absorbed by the ‘big shot of the Heavenly Dao Ball.’
[Ding!* Your ‘scoundrel friend’ Heavenly Emperor has transferred 1 point of energy to you.]
“Senior Song, this is today’s energy share. I’ve received the news. Even in exciting times, I’ll exercise caution. Additionally, Senior Song, you should watch out for your own safety. Your pendant, the fragments of the Heavenly City you’ve collected, and the fact that you’ve absorbed my Dao Fruit have left you marked with the scent of the ancient Heavenly City. You might end up on the heavenly punishment’s list, just like I have. So, take good care of yourself!”
Song Shuhang couldn’t help but shake his head.
Could his luck really be this bad?
But wait, he needed to avoid undue overconfidence. People often hoped they wouldn’t encounter bad luck, but reality often proved worse than expected.
Song Shuhang reminded himself not to be overly self-assured.
People had a tendency to be overly optimistic.
When people believed that they couldn’t possibly be so unlucky, the outcome often proved to be more severe than anticipated.
Song Shuhang felt like he needed a thorough check-up.
“Ranzhen Daoist, I’m heading to the Inner World. Look after my roommate for me,” Song Shuhang said quietly.
“Are you seriously leaving your roommate in the care of a Netherworld demon?” The hamster spat out a fruit pit into the trash can.
Fellow Daoist Stone Tablet chimed in, “If it weren’t for Fellow Daoist Tyrannical Song, the Netherworld’s malevolence exuding from this hamster would have already plunged your sleeping roommate into a nightmarish abyss. I’ll stay behind to look after your roommate.”
“Alright,” Song Shuhang agreed.
Subsequently, Song Shuhang took the hamster with him and entered the Inner World. He intended to find Pavilion Master Chu and Senior White Two.
Fellow Daoist Stone Tablet began gradually lowering his defenses to protect the dormitory.
Gao Moumou, who was sound asleep, furrowed his brow.
Under the deep slumber of Gao Moumou and the other two, an enormous pressure suddenly bore down on them. It felt as though an invisible weight was pressing down on their beds, making even breathing a challenge. Sleep became an arduous endeavor.
Fellow Daoist Stone Tablet was a magical treasure forged by Bai Chengdao, the Wielder of the Will. It fell between the ranks of a Ninth Stage Tribulation Transcender’s magical treasure and an Immortal’s divine weapon. Even when suppressing its powers, it could still exert influence on the creatures in its vicinity.
Meanwhile, on the other side, in the secret realm where the remnants of the Heavenly Court resided within the world of beast cultivators, the Tooth Fairy sought out Zither Master Feng Yi.
Zither Master Fengyi, at this moment, was silently maintaining the secret realm. She was attempting to move the entire mystic realm, but due to the interference of the heavenly punishment, the space was extremely unstable.
“Fairy Feng Yi, just now… someone sent me a message,” the Tooth Fairy began softly.
Shuhuang’s identity had been omited out of fear that it would provoke Zither Master Fengyi.
“Go on,” Zither Master Fengyi prompted.
“There’s a plausible method for evading the divine punishment,” the Tooth Fairy continued. “It involves entering a ‘dead’ state before the divine punishment arrives. As long as one is deceased, the Heavenly Law won’t pursue them. So, if we have a resurrection array and if that array isn’t within the secret realm, we can use this method to elude the heavenly punishment’s grasp.”
“How viable is this method?” Zither Master Fengyi inquired.
“It’s absolutely viable,” the Tooth Fairy assured her.
Zither Master Fengyi fell silent.
What was it about death?
She couldn’t help but recall Slow-Witted Song’s suggestion.
The prerequisite for escaping the Heavenly Court’s Dao and achieving freedom was to ‘die’ once.
In the end, was he unable to escape this fate?
Yet, Slow-Witted Song, that unreliable individual, hadn’t appeared again since vanishing the last time.
“Slow-Witted Song…” Zither Master Fengyi sighed.
“Did someone call me?” Suddenly, a deep voice resounded.
Following the voice, a portly figure emerged from thin air.
He was so corpulent that he couldn’t see his own feet when looking down. His entire body glistened with a golden sheen.
“You’ve been here all along?” Zither Master Fengyi widened her eyes.
“No, it wasn’t easy for me to find a moment to come out, and I just happened to hear Fairy Fengyi calling me. So, what’s your answer to the previous suggestion? Honestly, I don’t have much time. There’s no telling when I’ll get another opportunity to come out,” the golden, chubby man remarked. He waved at the Tooth Fairy while saying, “Long time no see, Tooth Fairy.”
The Tooth Fairy was rendered speechless.
“I agree, and at this point, we don’t have many options. Both sides need to experience ‘death’ once… You should be able to sense the Heavenly Punishment outside,” Zither Master Fengyi stated. “However, not everyone here possesses a resurrection array…”
“In that case, strike a deal with me,” the plump man proposed, wearing a faint smile. “Trade the fragments of the ancient Heavenly City you’ve collected in exchange for a chance at resurrection. For those who can’t be resurrected, I’ll handle the resurrection array. Gather everyone together and let them face their end contentedly.”
