Chapter Summaries

Song Shuhang secretly placed three Little Sixteen crystals in Su Clan's Sixteen’s gift box, helping her trial reach a turning point. As the Wealth-Scattering Ritual ended, Sixteen appeared on his Star Road Map and grew more complete, while the mysterious helper revealed a voice resembling Sixteen’s mother.

After Sixteen completed her trial, Song Shuhang emerged from the Wealth-Scattering Throne’s vortex and received a surge of power as the Core World synchronized with the Artificial Small World. His cultivation began accelerating toward an eighth-grade heavenly tribulation, while Soft Feather realized she had to prevent him from transcending too soon.

• Song Shuhang wondered whether Sixteen’s parents were missing or dead and decided to ask Su Clan’s Seven about them after they left.

• Soft Feather warned that Song Shuhang’s power was spiraling toward a heavenly tribulation, then resolved to stop him from transcending before the crucial appointed moment.

Soft Feather suppressed Song Shuhang’s swelling power and stopped him from undergoing Tribulation Transcendence, saying the timing was wrong. Song Shuhang left the Heavenly River Su Clan gathering with Soft Feather and Su Clan’s Sixteen, then asked Pavilion Master Chu when the right time would come.

He failed to understand the technique, leaving White-Bone Fairy convinced he was not Song Blockhead's son as only a minute remained before 2020.

• Song Shuhang merged his Primordial Spirit with his body, reached the peak of the Seventh-Grade Realm, and was swallowed by the Eighth-Grade Heavenly Tribulation space as 2020 began.

Song Shuhang entered the Eighth-Grade Profound Sage Tribulation World alone, prepared to face an ordinary heavenly tribulation with his many defensive techniques and companions. When the tribulation clouds refused to strike, he learned from Senior White Two that Fat Ball had abruptly stopped moving in both the Present World and the Netherworld.

• Song Shuhang entered the Eighth-Grade Profound Sage Space alone and activated his techniques, artifacts, and companions to prepare for the heavenly tribulation.
• Song Shuhang asked Pavilion Master Chu whether the Dao of Longevity could cure infertility, and she suggested artificial insemination and in vitro fertilization as alternatives.

• Senior White Two revealed that Fat Ball's clone and main body had suddenly stopped moving, and Song Shuhang's projection clone had destroyed the frozen clone.

While Song Shuhang waited for his Eighth-Grade Heavenly Tribulation, it failed to descend, and Senior White Two suspected that the Tribulation World had a bug. Song Shuhang decided to investigate rather than wait indefinitely, considering whether to turn the Tribulation Cloud into an ingredient or split himself in two like Senior White.

• Song Shuhang discussed splitting himself between the Tribulation World and the Present World, while Pavilion Master Chu's silly hair teased him about his plans.
• Song Shuhang transformed into Pseudo-Immortality Smoke Incarnation and, with Merit Snake Beauty's help, separated himself into two waist-cut half-bodies.
• Merit Snake Beauty used Merit Light to complete both halves, and Song Shuhang sent Half-Body No. 2 to the Present World with a Disposable Flying Sword—Break-Little-Black-Room Edition.
• Half-Body No. 2 arrived safely in the depths of the universe, and the Heavenly Tribulation Law did not drag it back.
• A golden vortex appeared and swallowed Half-Body No. 2, causing Song Shuhang to lose contact with it.

• Song Blockhead opened a Space Gate into a chaotic world where vast quantities of liquid metal flowed.

• Song Blockhead explained that the artificial world had been prepared as a contingency for the current Heaven and that he could trigger its core by entering it.
• Song Blockhead entered the world, where the core tried to siphon his paths, but the Confucian Sage's blood awakened and drove back the core's suction.

• The Northern Great Emperor froze the scorched earth, the Western Great Emperor positioned two suns, and the Soul-Reaping Great Emperor formed a formation with his chain.
• The core split open and its liquid metal returned, but Peachfruit Fairy found that there was nothing inside.

Peachfruit Fairy and the Great Emperors fought a gigantic Liquid Metal Man that had emerged above the scorched earth, while Song Blockhead faced its attacks with his Big Bone Fragments and Beast God Skeleton. In the Eighth-Grade Profound Sage Tribulation Space, Song Shuhang unexpectedly performed the same secret technique.

Elsewhere, Song Blockhead and the Soul-Reaping Great Emperor prepared to use the Confucian Sage’s final battlefield in their fight against the Liquid Metal Giant.

• Song Shuhang formed an incomplete White Bone Giant, which crawled along the ground, and Merit Snake Beauty joined with it to create an imperial form.
• Song Shuhang equipped Merit Snake Beauty with two sets of Thirty-Three Beasts Composite Dharma Artifacts, creating the powerful Armed Empress Fairy Form with a sword and shield.
• Song Shuhang used the Armed Empress Fairy’s strength to cut the eighth-grade tribulation cloud into chunks and seal them into his Heaven-Earth Bracelet.
• Song Shuhang remembered that Senior Shadow’s bracelet, which could give physical form to obsessions, was cracked and still being nurtured in his spirit lake.
• Song Blockhead and the Soul-Reaping Great Emperor prepared for another attack on the Liquid Metal Giant, using the Confucian Sage’s final battlefield and its lingering obsession.

Song Shuhang discovered that the Confucian Sage’s blood had fled his Half-Body No. 2 with its insured organs, warning him that something was hiding inside. He ordered the half-body destroyed, forcing the concealed entity to emerge as a drop of liquid metal.

• Song Shuhang stopped merging his two halves when the Confucian Sage’s blood returned from Half-Body No. 2 with the insured organs.
• Pavilion Master Chu and Song Shuhang found no obvious foreign energy, but agreed that the Sage’s blood’s warning meant Half-Body No. 2 was dangerous.

• A drop of liquid metal seeped out of Half-Body No. 2, revealing the entity that had been hiding inside.

Song Shuhang used the cultivation chat system to overload the severely weakened Heavenly Dao Sphere's Son of Heaven with mental pollution. With the target temporarily defenseless, the Confucian Sage's Eye urged him to finish it with one powerful spell, and Song Shuhang considered using Whale-Spending Strike.
