Chapter Summaries

Song Shuhang revealed himself at the Confucian School with the Merit Snake Beauty and his companions, while his five-title Mars counterpart was exposed as a clone. After the formations hid him from distant observers, Plunder took effect on the defeated Kun King and Heavenly Dao Husk Sphere, granting Song Shuhang two techniques instead of Ancient Language.

• The Merit Snake Beauty emerged from her cocoon with newly evolved feet and replenished Song Shuhang’s energy with merit light.

• The Confucian School’s defensive formations recovered and blocked the distant observers’ gazes as Song Shuhang sheathed his saber.
• Plunder extracted the Liquid Metal Golden Body Technique and the True Heavenly Roc Escape Technique from the fallen Kun King and Heavenly Dao Husk Sphere, but not Ancient Language.

Although the Heavenly Dao Husk Sphere appeared destroyed, Song Shuhang noticed that the Kun King had not been marked as killed, leaving its fate uncertain.

• With White Dragon Sister gaining on it, the Kun King opened a spatial gate and summoned Yuanzi as its final trump card.

• Yuanzi ignored Kun King’s commands, landed before Creation Fairy, and handed her the Kun King Egg.

• Creation Fairy handed the egg to Song Shuhang, who decided against eating it and considered using it to repay his karmic debt.
• Song Shuhang offered the Kun King Egg to several seniors, but they declined or could not respond, so he considered contacting Everything Can Be Sold.

Song Shuhang offered the Kun King Egg to Everything Can Be Sold, who refused after recognizing the Kun King as a valued customer, so Song Shuhang gave it to Senior White Two instead. The Kun King discovered Senior White Two was the Netherworld Ruler, while Song Shuhang cleared a karmic debt and headed to check on Yuanzi.

• Song Shuhang offered his Longevity-level Kun King Egg to Everything Can Be Sold, who blocked him because the Kun King was one of his best customers.

• Song Shuhang learned that the Golden-Haired Mechanical Girl had fallen out of the Core World after waking and ordered the Core Assistant to close the exit and monitor his sleeping companions.
• Song Shuhang met Senior Eternal Fire and asked him to locate the Golden-Haired Mechanical Girl, but Eternal Fire found no trace of her leaving the Golden Lotus World.
• Black-Skinned Soft Feather asked whether the Golden Lotus World connected to any other worlds, and Song Shuhang explained that its passage to Senior White Two's Evil Lotus World was sealed.
• Pavilion Master Chu's stray hair suggested the girl might have entered a forbidden area, and Senior Eternal Fire suspected Myriad Books Mountain.
• Senior Eternal Fire went to confirm his suspicion, while Song Shuhang decided to go to Myriad Books Mountain with his companions.

After learning that a mysterious blonde girl had compelled the mountain to perform a handstand, he suspected something was wrong with her origins and believed he had a way to counter her.

• Song Shuhang arrived at Myriad Books Mountain and found it falling during a handstand, while Venerable Eternal Fire was nowhere to be seen.

• The Merit Snake Beauty grew to the mountain’s size and used the Merit Thunder Tree to knock it upright, twisting its bandaged arms in the process.
• Myriad Books Mountain told Song Shuhang that the blonde girl had compelled it to show off and perform a backflip against its will.
• Song Shuhang suspected the girl’s origins were unusual and noted that one of his Small Dantians had been transformed from her Core Reactor.

Song Shuhang and his companions turned Myriad Books Mountain upside down to reopen the entrance to the Sage Silence Pool. As Song Shuhang entered, the golden-haired girl left, and the two passed without noticing each other.

• The golden-haired girl stopped absorbing the Sage Silence Pool when she could not find her core, then left the space after sensing its aura elsewhere.

Song Shuhang learned that the Golden-Haired Mechanical Girl was a Dao Artifact incarnation whose missing core had become part of him, and that moving her into the Present World would make her explode. The Sage Silence Pool offered no way to save her, leaving Song Shuhang to consider risking a costly attempt of his own.

• Senior Eternal Fire entered the Sage Silence Pool space and poured spiritual power into the drained relic before the projection ended.

• The Sage Silence Pool said Song Shuhang could make the girl explode by transferring her into the Present World, since her missing core left nowhere to contain the Heavenly Dao Sphere's existence.
• Song Shuhang asked whether the girl could survive while only her mechanical part exploded, but the Sage Silence Pool said it had no solution and warned him that any attempt would demand a tremendous price.

Song Shuhang received only Sage Silence Pool’s blessings, not an inheritance, and hurried with his companions to stop the Golden-Haired Mechanical Girl from entering the Present World. When they reached her, Merit Snake Beauty began reciting Song Shuhang’s familiar story, leaving him shocked.

• Song Shuhang expected Sage Silence Pool to pass down knowledge, but Sage Silence Pool instead blessed him and slapped him out of Sage Silence Pool Space.

• The Golden-Haired Mechanical Girl changed into liquid metal to take the Core Reactor by force, and Song Shuhang transformed into liquid metal as well, prompting her to ask who he really was.

Song Shuhang and the fairies tried to restrain the Golden-Haired Mechanical Girl as she calculated a way to escape and drew on the Heavenly Dao Sphere's power. Song Shuhang imitated the Heavenly Dao Sphere to disrupt her, but her emotional reaction triggered a massive explosion that destabilized the Golden Lotus World.

• The Merit Snake Beauty, White Dragon Sister, and Creation Fairy bound the Golden-Haired Mechanical Girl while she secretly calculated how to break free.

• A great radiance faded, leaving the Golden-Haired Mechanical Girl gone and Song Shuhang wondering if he needed a pregnancy test.

After the Golden-Haired Mechanical Girl and Ling Xiao became an embryo inside Song Shuhang’s Core Reactor, he panicked over being pregnant and tried to return to the Golden Lotus World. The entrance opened just as he insisted he could not tell his seniors, leaving him face-to-face with them.

• The Golden Core Formation Diagram faded, and Song Shuhang sensed an embryo containing the auras of the Golden-Haired Mechanical Girl and Ling Xiao forming inside his Core Reactor.

• Creation Fairy showed Song Shuhang a handbook warning about prenatal anxiety, while Song Shuhang decided not to tell the seniors that he was pregnant.
• The Golden Lotus World entrance opened, and White Dragon Sister, Pavilion Master Chu’s dull hair, Stele Fellow Daoist, Heart-Demon Scarlet Heaven Sword, Merit Snake Beauty, and the other hangers-on stared at Song Shuhang.

After the Golden Lotus World learned that Song Shuhang was pregnant, Pavilion Master Chu’s tuft of hair examined him and found an embryo inside his Fifth Small Dantian’s Core Reactor. Song Shuhang accepted that the child was Kun King’s and began eating Ninth-Grade treasures, leaving his companions to seek a way to handle the pregnancy.

• The fairies and Confucian School members overheard that Song Shuhang was pregnant, and Zi Wen ushered him and the others into the Golden Lotus World.

• White Dragon Sister wondered whether Song Shuhang’s appetite would consume all of Kun King’s Treasure before the pregnancy ended.

After calmly accepting that he was pregnant, Song Shuhang watched the sunrise while his companions worried about him and discussed the embryo inside his Core Reactor. The group considered removing the Core Reactor and finding a surrogate, but no one had agreed to volunteer when Soft Feather offered and Black-Skinned Soft Feather stopped her.

• Song Shuhang reassured Soft Feather that he was fine as the others watched him eat and worried about his condition.
• Stele Fellow Daoist redirected the discussion toward what to do about the child inside Song Shuhang.
• Pavilion Master Chu's cowlick proposed temporarily removing Song Shuhang's Core Reactor and using a surrogate to nourish the embryo.
• White Dragon Sister ruled out herself and the other merit manifestations, then suggested Pavilion Master Chu's cowlick as a surrogate.
