Ch. 2801A Set Following Another—It Was All a String of Tricks!

Chapter 2792 Summary: A Set Within a Set, All Schemes!

Plot and events

Song Shuhang prepares for the next round of the gambling ritual against Three-Eyed Boy Senior by dramatically releasing the power of his seven-plus-one cores. He calls this display his “European White Hand,” hoping to intimidate his opponent and demonstrate his supposed luck. Three-Eyed explains that drawing a card is simple: Song must gently press the Black Box, which will randomly produce a card.
Fairy Phoenix Claw questions whether Three-Eyed can secretly control the draw because the Black Box is his Magical Item. Three-Eyed assures her that the drawing process is completely random and “fair” at the most basic level. Confidently, Song Shuhang insists that his luck will still guarantee the best card.
Song theatrically raises his hand as if to smash the box, then pulls back his strength at the last moment and touches it gently. The box produces a glowing [World Fusion] card. Although the card is extremely valuable and was created from rare materials, it contains only two Law markings. Since the winner is determined by the number of Laws on the card—and the maximum is six—Three-Eyed declares that Song has fallen into his trap and is likely to lose.
Three-Eyed reveals that the apparent fairness of the draw concealed the real scheme: the contest rewards the card with the most Law markings, not necessarily the most powerful or valuable card. Song recognizes the result as possible “retribution” for previously using his white arm as a pointer during the ritual.
It then becomes Three-Eyed’s turn. He boasts that Song’s defeat is already certain and forcefully slams his palm onto the Black Box. The chapter ends as he reveals another trick: he had only instructed Song to press gently, never said that he himself had to do so. The forceful impact is apparently part of a protective strategy involving the Magical Item and the possible destruction of Six-Laws cards if it is attacked.

Character development

  • Song Shuhang remains theatrically confident and competitive, using exaggerated displays of power and bravado to compensate for uncertainty. His confidence in his luck leads him directly into Three-Eyed’s carefully designed trap.
  • Three-Eyed Boy Senior demonstrates his characteristic cunning and willingness to exploit technicalities. He preserves the appearance of fairness while manipulating the contest’s conditions to his advantage.
  • Fairy Phoenix Claw becomes increasingly aware of the danger surrounding Three-Eyed Senior. She questions his fairness but is simultaneously nervous about provoking the powerful Nine Nether Ruler. Her internal reactions provide comic commentary on Song and Three-Eyed’s schemes.

Themes

  • Superficial fairness versus genuine fairness: The card draw is random, but the rules governing victory are designed to favor Three-Eyed’s strategy.
  • Cunning and loopholes: Both opponents interpret instructions literally and search for hidden advantages.
  • Luck versus wisdom: Song relies on luck and confidence, while Three-Eyed argues that even a luck-based contest requires strategic thinking.
  • Comedic bravado: Song’s exaggerated aura, his dramatic “slam” that becomes a gentle touch, and Three-Eyed’s boastful counterattack turn the confrontation into a battle of personalities as much as cards.

Character interactions

  • Song asks Three-Eyed how to draw a card and challenges him with exaggerated confidence.
  • Fairy Phoenix Claw questions the integrity of the process, prompting Three-Eyed’s explanation of his version of fairness.
  • Three-Eyed mocks Song after the two-Law card appears, while Song jokes that it may be karmic punishment for his earlier behavior.
  • Three-Eyed then taunts Song and makes his own dramatic move, setting up the next stage of their escalating contest.

Ch. 2802A challenger who brought his own Spirit Stones!

Key plot points and events

  • In the third luck-based contest, Three-Eyed Youth draws a powerful Spatial Severing card. Song Shuhang points out that the game is about the number of Laws, not their strength. The card appears to have one Law, but a tiny second Law is hidden on it, making the result a draw.
  • Song has two wins and a draw, putting him close to victory. Three-Eyed ends the card game rather than let him draw again, and sets Song to choose the fourth contest.
  • Song proposes a best-of-three wager: they open a Space Gate, and bet on the gender of the first living creature to emerge. The loser takes a punch. Both agree to honor the wager’s rules.
  • Just as Song is about to choose his hometown as the location, his Steel Avatar reports that a newly advanced Longevity Immortal—an acquaintance carrying ten thousand Ninth-Grade Spirit Stones—wants to meet and possibly spar with him.
  • Song turns the newcomer’s arrival into the contest: he and Three-Eyed will open the gate on Mars and bet on the visitor’s gender. The Steel Avatar then warns that other Longevity Immortals may be following the visitor and intend to challenge Song.

Character developments and interactions

  • Song Shuhang uses careful rule interpretation to secure a draw, but shows unusual restraint by choosing a simple contest instead of trying to exploit Three-Eyed further. He quickly adapts when the unexpected visitor offers a convenient wager.
  • Three-Eyed Youth is frustrated by Song’s logic and teasing, but remains committed to the contest’s outward fairness. He eagerly suggests making the penalty a punch, prompting Song and Phoenix Claw Fairy to joke about his masochism.
  • Phoenix Claw Fairy revels in announcing Three-Eyed’s apparent defeat and grows bolder about questioning him.
  • Song and Three-Eyed banter over fairness, luck, and who resembles whom, while their wager relies on both accepting the Wager Ritual’s rules.

Significant themes

  • Fairness versus technicality: A card’s overwhelming power does not matter when the rules count only the number of Laws.
  • Luck and rules: The contest is framed as chance-based, but careful interpretation and the Wager Ritual help define what counts as fair play.
  • Restraint amid rivalry: Song could keep “shearing” advantages from Three-Eyed, but chooses a modest wager—only for events to raise the stakes again.
  • Escalation and comic contrast: A simple bet about a stranger’s gender may become a much larger confrontation, as multiple powerful immortals gather around Song.

Ch. 2803Fellow Daoist, Are You a Girl or a Guy?

Chapter 2794 Summary

Key Plot Points and Events

  • After Song Shuhang, as “Ba Song,” appeared to kill the Heavenly Emperor, most Eternal Life experts became wary of challenging him. However, one provocative Eternal Life expert’s “Mouth Cannon Inspiration” reignited their confidence, leading several experts to consider testing Ba Song’s strength.
  • A newly promoted Eternal Life expert arrives on Mars to meet Song Shuhang, bringing Spirit Stones as instructed by the Heavenly Emperor. Other Eternal Life experts secretly observe, prepared to challenge Ba Song if he does not demonstrate true ruling-level power.
  • Song Shuhang prepares for the confrontation by relying on Three-Eyed Boy Senior’s power and the authority of the Nine Nether Ruler. He considers luring challengers into the Nine Nether, where he could suppress them more easily.
  • Before opening the Space Gate, Song Shuhang and Three-Eyed Boy Senior begin another gender-betting game. Three-Eyed Boy bets that the visitor is bisexual, while Song Shuhang bets female.
  • Phoenix Rhapsody Qin Master Fairy blocks her senses so that her connection to the Ancient Heavenly Court cannot reveal the visitor’s identity or influence the bet.
  • The white-robed visitor arrives carrying a rabbit and Spirit Stones. Upon seeing Three-Eyed Boy, he realizes that the terrifying figure is the Nine Nether Ruler and suspects that the masked individual beside him is the legendary Senior Song.
  • Song Shuhang reveals his many Saint titles—Ba Song, Ba Confucian, Ba Mo, Ba Long, Ba Destruction, Ba You, Batdao, and Bajjie—confirming his intimidating identity.
  • Song Shuhang recognizes the visitor as the Island Master of the Mysterious Island, the creator of his “One-Inch Shrinking Pouch.” Assuming the creator of such a cute item must be female, he confidently believes he has won the bet.
  • When asked whether he is “GG or MM,” the visitor calmly answers that he is male, shocking both Song Shuhang and Three-Eyed Boy Senior.

Character Developments

  • Song Shuhang: Demonstrates increased confidence and resourcefulness in handling Eternal Life challengers. He uses his titles, spatial abilities, Nine Nether authority, and Three-Eyed Boy Senior’s power to prepare for possible conflict. His overconfidence in identifying the visitor’s gender leads to an unexpected loss.
  • Three-Eyed Boy Senior: Continues his playful but competitive betting relationship with Song Shuhang. He remains mysterious and intimidating, with his presence immediately recognized as that of the Nine Nether Ruler.
  • The white-robed Eternal Life expert/Island Master: Appears nervous and humble despite being an extremely powerful existence. He worries about whether Spirit Stones are an appropriate gift and is startled by the strange gender question. His familiarity with the Mysterious Island connects him to Song Shuhang’s past.
  • Phoenix Rhapsody Qin Master Fairy: Cooperates with Song Shuhang by sealing her senses, showing her interest in meeting another possible Ancient Heavenly Court figure.
  • The Heavenly Emperor: Though absent, she influences the visitor’s actions through prior instructions, especially ordering him to bring Spirit Stones and not replace them with more valuable treasures.

Significant Themes

  • Misjudgment and appearance: Song Shuhang assumes the Island Master is female based on the cute rabbit pouch he created, but this proves unreliable.
  • Power and reputation: Ba Song’s apparent victory over the Heavenly Emperor has created a powerful reputation, causing other Eternal Life experts to fear and speculate about his true strength.
  • Humor amid danger: A potentially serious confrontation between powerful immortals becomes entangled with an absurd gender-betting game.
  • Identity and recognition: The chapter emphasizes concealed identities, titles, masks, and mistaken assumptions as characters attempt to determine who truly holds power.
  • Relationships between powerhouses: Despite their terrifying abilities, Song Shuhang and Three-Eyed Boy Senior interact through teasing, wagers, and playful rivalry.

Important Character Interactions

  • Song Shuhang and Three-Eyed Boy Senior compete in another gender bet, exchanging confident predictions and taunts.
  • Song Shuhang asks Phoenix Rhapsody Qin Master Fairy to block her senses to preserve the fairness of the wager.

  • Song Shuhang reveals his many titles to establish his identity, after which the visitor formally greets him.
  • Song Shuhang and Three-Eyed Boy Senior jointly question the visitor about his gender, only to be surprised when he identifies himself as male.

Ch. 2804Tyrant Song versus the Ruler!

Plot points and events

  • Song Shuhang and Senior Three-Eyed Youth discover that their first bet about the gender of the person outside the Space Gate was a draw: neither guessed correctly. They agree to decide the contest in the next round.
  • Three-Eyed turns the draw into an excuse to punch Song, who braces himself with his body-tempering techniques and protective enhancements. Their confrontation becomes a sparring match.
  • Several Longevity Immortals arrive to observe. Seeing Three-Eyed and Song fight through the Space Gate, they mistake their spar for a serious clash between Tyrant Song and the Netherworld Ruler.
  • Three-Eyed’s punch carries the Netherworld Ruler’s Destruction Law and an unavoidable Karmic Lock. Song absorbs the law, takes the blow to his chest, and calmly says that it hurts.
  • Song retaliates with a heavily enhanced punch that sends Three-Eyed flying—or so it appears to the watching Longevity Immortals. In reality, Three-Eyed is disoriented by Song’s Positive Energy effects and uses the momentum to withdraw.
  • The Space Gate pulls the White-Robed Longevity Immortal inside and then closes, leaving the other Longevity Immortals outside to wonder at what they witnessed.
  • Back in the Wealth-Spending Throne World, Song secretly consults Senior White’s Lucky Hand before betting again. He predicts the next entrants will be male, then genderless; Three-Eyed bets that both will be Fairies.

Character developments and interactions

  • Song Shuhang remains playful and competitive, but his composure and unusual resilience are on full display: even a devastating blow barely unsettles him, and he immediately counterattacks. He also tries to gain an edge in the betting by using the Lucky Hand.
  • Senior Three-Eyed Youth is equally stubborn and turns the draw into a pretext for a fight. Though he claims the next bet will settle matters, he guesses “Fairy” repeatedly rather than reason out the answers.
  • The Longevity Immortals arrive expecting to assess or challenge Song, but misread the spar as a momentous battle. Their awe highlights how formidable Song appears to outsiders.
  • The White-Robed Longevity Immortal remains bewildered and intimidated, caught between Song and Three-Eyed’s bizarre behavior.

Significant themes

  • Appearance versus reality: The observers interpret a playful, staged-feeling exchange as a battle between cosmic powers.
  • Humor and rivalry: Song and Three-Eyed mix a silly gender-guessing contest with threats and a spectacular fistfight.
  • Resilience and power: Song’s ability to absorb the Destruction Law and endure Three-Eyed’s punch underscores his extraordinary strength.
  • Competitive loopholes: Both characters treat rules, luck, and even a draw as opportunities to keep the contest going.

Ch. 2805Are You Here to Challenge Me Too?

Key plot points and events

  • Inside the Wealth-Spending Throne World, Song Shuhang and Senior Three-Eyed Youth turn their rivalry into a wager: they will guess the genders of Longevity Immortals, and the loser will take punches.
  • Seven Longevity Immortals arrive on Mars and follow Song’s Space Gate into the betting area. Their arrival supplies the contestants with more rounds—and raises the stakes.
  • Song and Three-Eyed inspect the newcomers. Three-Eyed has guessed “female” for every round, but the group’s varied genders and sexless members undermine his confidence.
  • Song unexpectedly pummels Three-Eyed into the ground. The seven visitors, who had considered challenging Song, lose their nerve and claim they only came to discuss the Dao.
  • Three-Eyed springs back with an uppercut, sending Song into the sky, but Song retaliates and buries him underground again, apparently ending the bout.

Character developments

  • Song Shuhang treats the contest casually and even greets the White-Robed Longevity Immortal warmly because he expects to receive Spirit Stones. His apparent ease and overwhelming strength astonish the visitors.
  • Senior Three-Eyed Youth is boastful and eager to fight, but his repeated confidence contrasts with his inability to withstand Song’s punches. He does manage one counterattack before Song overpowers him again.
  • The White-Robed Longevity Immortal remains an awkward, frightened bystander, and watching the pair’s childish wager causes his grand impressions of Song and the Netherworld Ruler to collapse.
  • The seven Longevity Immortals arrive curious and potentially combative, but quickly retreat into diplomatic language after witnessing Song’s dominance.

Significant themes

  • Comedy through contrast: fearsome, powerful figures behave like petty rivals playing a guessing game.
  • Reputation versus reality: the visitors’ intimidating image of the Netherworld Ruler—and their assumptions about Song—are upended by the ridiculous wager and one-sided brawl.
  • Power and intimidation: Song’s display makes even Longevity Immortals abandon the idea of challenging him.

Character interactions

  • Song and Three-Eyed trade taunts and escalate their gender-guessing bet into a punch-forfeit contest.
  • The White-Robed Immortal tries to get Song’s attention but is repeatedly sidelined, then is squeezed under Three-Eyed’s pressure.
  • The seven visitors watch the fight, misread the exchange as evidence that Song may be able to defeat a Netherworld Ruler, and quickly recast their visit as a Dao discussion.

Ch. 2806Beheaded?

Chapter 2797 Summary: “Decapitated?”

Key Plot Points and Events

  • The legendary battle between Ba Song (Song Shuhang) and the three-eyed Nine Nether Ruler appears to conclude with Ba Song’s final move, “Soaring Fist.”
  • The seven observing Eternal Life cultivators initially believe Ba Song has completely destroyed the Nine Nether Ruler because his aura disappears and he fails to emerge from the resulting crater.
  • They conclude that Ba Song’s punch must have concealed a destructive Law specifically capable of countering the Nine Nether Ruler.
  • Ba Song reinforces this misunderstanding by claiming he is too busy to discuss the Dao because he must collect and digest the Nine Nether Ruler’s treasures.
  • The seven Eternal Lifes retreat, relieved to avoid challenging Ba Song at the height of his momentum. Rumors rapidly spread that Ba Song has slain another Nine Nether Ruler and looted its treasures, further cementing his reputation as invincible.
  • In reality, the Nine Nether Ruler was not destroyed. Song Shuhang explains that the Three-Eyed Senior simply returned home after being smashed six times and becoming embarrassed.
  • In the Scatter Wealth Throne World, the White-robed Eternal Life gives Song Shuhang a pouch filled with colorful Spirit Stones Xiao Ke Love, claiming it as a token of appreciation.
  • The White-robed Eternal Life senses a strange familiarity with Ba Song and wonders whether they met in ancient times. Song Shuhang realizes this is because the Eternal Life is actually the Island Master Senior, whom he knew before.
  • Song Shuhang prepares to reveal his true identity, but remembers he is still wearing the valuable Silver Gua mask. Instead, he retrieves a severed-looking head of Ba Song’s main body from the Core World and presents it to the White-robed Eternal Life.

Character Developments

  • Song Shuhang/Ba Song: Demonstrates strategic cleverness and theatrical confidence. He exploits the apparent disappearance of the Nine Nether Ruler to make everyone believe he achieved another overwhelming victory. He also chooses honesty with the White-robed Eternal Life rather than continuing to maintain his senior persona, though his method of revealing himself creates a new misunderstanding.
  • The Three-Eyed Nine Nether Ruler: Revealed to be alive and merely retreating out of embarrassment after being defeated and repeatedly smashed. His pride and sensitivity remain central to his characterization.
  • The Seven Eternal Lifes: Their perception of Ba Song shifts dramatically. They become wary of him and avoid confrontation, believing he has effortlessly destroyed another Nine Nether Ruler.
  • White-robed Eternal Life/Island Master Senior: Shows goodwill toward Song Shuhang by offering him rare Spirit Stones and expresses a strong but unexplained sense of familiarity. He remains unaware that Ba Song is the young Song Shuhang he once knew.

Significant Themes

  • Reputation versus reality: Ba Song’s legend grows from a misunderstanding; the world believes he killed the Nine Nether Ruler even though the ruler merely withdrew.
  • Strategic deception and performance: Song Shuhang uses the assumptions of others to protect his identity and strengthen his public image.
  • Identity and recognition: The chapter focuses on whether the White-robed Eternal Life can recognize Song Shuhang beneath his masks and disguises.
  • Pride and embarrassment: The Nine Nether Ruler’s retreat illustrates how personal dignity influences even powerful figures.
  • Friendship and reciprocity: Song Shuhang refuses to accept the Spirit Stones without understanding the giver’s intentions, showing respect for the Island Master Senior and their past connection.

Character Interactions

  • Song Shuhang politely dismisses the seven Eternal Lifes’ request to discuss the Dao, prompting them to withdraw.
  • The seven Eternal Lifes exchange secret messages and interpret Song Shuhang’s actions as proof of his overwhelming strength.
  • The White-robed Eternal Life presents Song Shuhang with Spirit Stones and explains that he feels an inexplicable connection to him.
  • Song Shuhang questions whether the White-robed Eternal Life received his earlier Mysterious Saint’s Sermon, then attempts to reveal his identity.
  • The chapter ends comically when Song Shuhang introduces a detached version of his own head, causing the White-robed Eternal Life to panic and wonder whether the young friend has been decapitated.

Ch. 2807So, There Is Only One Truth

Plot points

  • White-Robed Island Master sees Song Shuhang’s detached head and assumes an evil cultivator has beheaded him and turned him into a magical artifact—or that Senior Song has somehow rescued him.
  • In reality, Shuhang deliberately transferred his head through the Core World so it could meet the island master while preserving the mask on his Primordial Spirit Projection.
  • When the island master tries to reassure him that he might grow a new body, Shuhang clarifies that the head is his own and that he is still himself.
  • The island master struggles to accept this, then asks Shuhang’s cultivation level. Shuhang says he had only recently reached the Eighth-Grade Realm. After venting by punching cracks into the void, the island master concludes that Shuhang must be the Confucian Sage’s reincarnation.

Character developments and interactions

  • White-Robed Island Master is shown to be imaginative and easily overwhelmed by sudden revelations. His Longevity Immortal mind rapidly invents elaborate explanations, and he reacts with disbelief when Shuhang reveals his identity and astonishing progress.
  • Song Shuhang remains calm and matter-of-fact, explaining the unusual head transfer and downplaying his rapid advancement despite the island master’s shock.
  • Their conversation is shaped by a widening misunderstanding: the island master initially sees Shuhang as a victim, then learns he is the formidable “Senior Song” everyone has been discussing.

Significant themes

  • Misunderstanding and appearance: Shuhang’s detached head looks like evidence of injury or exploitation, but is simply the result of an unusual transfer.
  • The absurdity of rapid cultivation: The island master’s disbelief highlights how extraordinary Shuhang’s rise from Third Grade to Eighth Grade in six months is.
  • Reputation versus reality: Rumors portray “Senior Song” as an almost legendary figure, while Shuhang himself describes his power modestly—and, in this instance, the rumors still fail to capture how surprising his identity is.

Ch. 2808Scoundrel, take my blade!

Chapter Summary: The Scoundrel Eats My Blade

Key Plot Points and Events

  • Song Shuhang continues denying that he is the reincarnation of the Confucian Sage, though repeated accusations from powerful figures have begun to undermine his confidence.
  • White-Robed Island Master Gold Trigram is astonished that Song Shuhang reached the Eighth Stage in only a year and suspects they may have met in ancient times. Song Shuhang firmly rejects this, insisting he is only eighteen.
  • Song’s heart suddenly begins beating violently. He initially suspects that Great Emperor Dongfang has completed upgrading his Thirty-Three Divine Beasts’ Combined Magical Treasures.
  • Song reveals that he sacrificed sixty-six hearts to have two sets of the magical treasure upgraded, shocking Gold Trigram. He also introduces Gold Trigram to several unusual companions and sends him through a teleportation gate to meet Great Emperor Dongfang in the collapsing Heavenly Emperor’s World.
  • Realizing the heartbeat is unrelated to the forging process, Song rushes to find Senior Three-Eyed Boy.
  • He discovers that Three-Eyed Boy has created and sealed a furry Ancient God inside a giant lapis-lazuli heart. The heart is synchronized with Song’s own heartbeat, explaining the strange sensation.
  • The heart is intended to become part of a future gambling match between Song and Three-Eyed Boy. Song has won their current best-of-five contest, securing his fourth overall victory.
  • Three-Eyed Boy becomes enraged when Song refuses to remove his left hand, which gives him an advantage in their bets. After the Eyeball Butler defends Song, Three-Eyed Boy attacks the butler and then suddenly stabs Song in the waist with a sword-like weapon.

Character Developments

  • Song Shuhang: Remains unusually powerful and resourceful despite being only Eighth Stage. He displays growing confidence in his victories over Three-Eyed Boy, while his repeated denials about the Confucian Sage reincarnation show how outside speculation is beginning to affect him.
  • Gold Trigram Island Master: Moves from treating Song as a junior to asking him to use his Daoist name, “Gold Trigram,” because being called “Senior” makes him uncomfortable. His disbelief at Song’s strength and bizarre possessions highlights Song’s increasingly abnormal status.
  • Senior Three-Eyed Boy: Continues his childish, competitive, and vindictive relationship with Song. Though he recognizes Song’s victory, he remains determined to punish him for using his “cheating” left hand.
  • Eyeball Butler: Acts as a loyal mediator and openly supports Song, but is immediately punished by Three-Eyed Boy for challenging him.

Significant Themes

  • Identity and reputation: Song’s repeated denial of being the Confucian Sage’s reincarnation becomes less convincing to others—and even to himself—as rumors accumulate.
  • Absurd power and rapid growth: Song’s Eighth-Stage cultivation, teleportation abilities, multiple magical treasures, and dealings with ancient beings emphasize how far he has surpassed normal expectations.
  • Comedic misunderstanding: Gold Trigram repeatedly interprets Song’s strange behavior romantically or mystically, while Song remains unaware of the implications.
  • Competition and cheating: The gambling relationship between Song and Three-Eyed Boy blurs the line between fair play and exploiting one’s innate abilities.
  • Bizarre consequences of power: Song’s heartbeat is linked to an Ancient God trapped in an enormous artificial heart, turning a frightening supernatural event into another absurd complication.

Character Interactions

  • Gold Trigram questions Song about his origins and ancient connections, while Song responds with literal, evasive humor.
  • Song casually explains his sacrifice of sixty-six hearts and introduces Gold Trigram to Great Emperor Dongfang, Merit Fairy, White Bone Fairy, and the Phoenix Rhapsody Qin Master’s claw.
  • The Eyeball Butler comforts Song with Immortal Tea and helps secure the sealed Ancient God-heart.
  • Three-Eyed Boy and Song exchange taunts over their gambling match and Song’s left-hand advantage before Three-Eyed Boy abruptly attacks him, ending the chapter on a comedic cliffhanger.

Ch. 2809Life Has Always Been...

Chapter 2800 Summary

Key Plot Points and Events

  • After the wager ritual ends, Senior Three-Eyed Youth releases his cultivation suppression and uses his true Netherworld Ruler-level power to stab Song Shuhang through space, striking him directly in the kidney.
  • The attack is not meant to injure Song Shuhang; it delivers the wager’s first reward, the Sword-Shaped Saber Intent, while also granting temporary combat bonuses: +25% Critical Hit Damage and +50% Back Attack Damage.
  • Song Shuhang absorbs and integrates the Sword-Shaped Saber Intent. It becomes his third Saber Intent, alongside:
    1. Saber Intent Armor, his defensive Saber Intent.
    2. Compassion Saber Intent, which causes victims to experience bliss rather than pain.
    3. Sword-Shaped Saber Intent, which greatly strengthens his sword- and saber-based attacks.
  • The new intent dramatically improves Song Shuhang’s comprehension of the Heaven-Burning Flame Saber, especially because it is connected to Daoist Scarlet Firmament. Combined with Heart-Demon Scarlet Heaven Sword, the technique’s power is expected to exceed the level of a Ninth-Grade Tribulation Immortal.
  • Eager to test his new ability, Song Shuhang asks for a place to attack. He forms a sword out of spirit energy and uses the low-level Holy Light Slaying Evil Sword technique.
  • Though normally a First-Grade technique, Song Shuhang’s immense power and Sword-Shaped Saber Intent elevate it to Ninth-Grade destructive strength. The attack clears the rain from Senior Three-Eyed’s world and fills the sky with brilliant Holy Light.
  • Song Shuhang notices that the energy he expended is being replenished by the sealed Ancient God’s Glazed Heart, suggesting that the Ancient God may function as an involuntary “long-distance battery.”
  • Senior Three-Eyed announces the arrival of the second wager reward. Despite Eyeball Butler’s warning that Song Shuhang may die, Senior Three-Eyed summons an entire planet and presses it down over the world, ending the chapter on a cliffhanger.

Character Developments

  • Song Shuhang gains a major enhancement to his combat abilities by mastering the Sword-Shaped Saber Intent. He becomes increasingly confident, joking that he is now peerless in both saber and sword.
  • His understanding of sword techniques also expands: he realizes that even a simple technique can become overwhelmingly powerful when wielded by someone with enormous cultivation and specialized intent.
  • Song Shuhang continues to display his reckless curiosity and enthusiasm, immediately testing his new power despite Senior Three-Eyed’s dangerous personality.
  • Senior Three-Eyed Youth reveals more of his capricious and sadistic humor. He deliberately delivers the reward through a frightening kidney strike simply because it amuses him, then prepares an even more dangerous second reward.
  • Eyeball Butler remains loyal to Song Shuhang, warning him about the danger even while being repeatedly harmed in the process.
  • The sealed Ancient God appears to have become an unexpected source of energy for Song Shuhang, though the implications remain unclear.

Significant Themes

  • Power depends on the wielder, not merely the technique: Song Shuhang’s spirit energy and Saber Intent transform a First-Grade sword technique into a Ninth-Grade-level attack.
  • Humor amid danger: Serious and potentially lethal events—such as kidney strikes and planetary attacks—are treated comically, reinforcing the chapter’s absurd cultivation-world tone.
  • Growth through integration: Song Shuhang’s strength increases by combining different forms of Saber Intent, sword techniques, and external powers.
  • Unpredictable rewards and trials: Senior Three-Eyed’s gifts are simultaneously beneficial and terrifying, emphasizing that advancement often comes through peril.
  • Light versus darkness: The Holy Light attack symbolically dispels the gloomy rain in Senior Three-Eyed’s world, briefly creating an atmosphere of purification and brightness.

Character Interactions

  • Song Shuhang protests Senior Three-Eyed’s kidney strike, while Senior Three-Eyed dismisses his complaint and admits he did it because it made him happy.
  • Eyeball Butler encourages Song Shuhang to absorb the reward quickly, despite being repeatedly stabbed himself.
  • Song Shuhang proudly demonstrates his new sword ability to Senior Three-Eyed, even posing amid the Holy Light as though he were bringing illumination to the older cultivator’s gloomy world.
  • His overly sincere display alarms Senior Three-Eyed and prompts Eyeball Butler to conclude that Song Shuhang is likely doomed.
  • Senior Three-Eyed then shifts from playful banter to a terrifying escalation by summoning a planet as the next wager reward.

Ch. 2810I Am an Actor

Key plot points and events

  • After Song Shuhang releases a Holy Light Sword, energy from the Sealed Ancient God’s heart keeps replenishing him, and the Holy Light spreads across the sky. He apologizes to Senior Three-Eyed and offers to pull it back.
  • Senior Three-Eyed reveals that the enormous, hostile Eyed Planet is the prize Song won in their wager. It is a complete Dao Artifact, intended as the carrier for Song’s cultivation-chat talent.
  • Song would rather have the planet’s small clone, but Three-Eyed insists he accept the “best” prize and sends him to face the planet before he can prepare.
  • Eyed Planet attacks with a Ninth-Grade Aurora Cannon. The damage barely threatens Song, so he deduces that the planet is holding back to obey Three-Eyed’s order not to kill him.
  • Song decides to exploit this restraint by convincingly acting injured, even cracking his Primordial Spirit body to make the performance more believable.

Character developments and interactions

  • Song Shuhang remains quick-thinking under pressure. He recognizes the planet’s controlled attacks and turns his acting ability into a tactical advantage.
  • Senior Three-Eyed presents his gift with affectionate warmth, but immediately throws Song into a dangerous fight. He has privately ordered the planet not to kill him.
  • Eyed Planet eagerly wants to torment Song but must keep him alive, leaving it to calibrate its attacks carefully.
  • Eyeball Butler warns Song to use Three-Eyed’s Third Divine Eye and hints that severe injury is acceptable so long as Song survives; Three-Eyed silences him by skewering him with spears.
  • Lady Dragon Network is still deciphering Three-Eyed’s ocular techniques and asks Song to hold his position while she develops a plan.

Significant themes

  • Dangerous generosity: The “prize” is valuable, but accepting it means facing a formidable opponent.
  • Performance as survival: Song uses acting—not strength—to manipulate how the planet judges the effects of its attacks.
  • The loopholes in restraint: “Don’t kill him” still permits extreme harm, as both the planet and Butler recognize.
  • Comic contrast: Song’s human-scale vulnerability is played against the absurdly vast, hostile planet and the casual cruelty of his seniors.

Ch. 2811I only need your body!

Chapter 2802 Summary

Key Plot Points and Events

  • Song Shuhang deliberately allows the Long-eyed Planet’s Big Shot to attack him, using exaggerated screams, weakened aura, and staged “Primordial Spirit cracks” to make himself appear severely injured.
  • The Saint’s flames and the Big Shot’s “Twist Evil Eye” seem to devastate him, but Song Shuhang is secretly faking most of his suffering. He even varies his screams to make the performance more convincing.
  • The Big Shot initially takes pleasure in Song Shuhang’s apparent pain, but notices that the effects of its twisting attack do not match Song Shuhang’s visible injuries. It realizes that Song Shuhang has been acting.
  • Song Shuhang stops pretending once he suspects he has been exposed and asks how the Big Shot discovered him. The Big Shot refuses to answer and prepares an even more powerful “Shatter Evil Eye,” intending to dismember him.
  • Worried that he cannot keep enduring attacks, Song Shuhang contacts Dragon Network Lady, first calling for her assistance and then appealing to “Ms. Fat Ball.”
  • Dragon Network Lady tells him to display his Golden Core QR code. The Big Shot scans it and unknowingly adds Ba Song as a friend, placing him on “Blacklist 2” under the nickname “Big Eyeball.”
  • Song Shuhang then opens his Third Divine Eye, which carries the aura and authority of its master and suppresses the Long-eyed Planet’s Big Shot.
  • Dragon Network Lady sends a modified “Cultivation Chat” customer-side program and a solidification patch through the newly established friend connection. Their goal is not to control or tame the Big Shot, but to use part of its memory and planetary body as a server carrier before allowing it to go free.

Character Developments

  • Song Shuhang demonstrates creativity, theatrical skill, and quick thinking. His fake suffering is convincing enough to fool the Big Shot temporarily, though his unusual physical reactions eventually reveal the deception.
  • He remains playful and irreverent under pressure, treating the QR-code friendship request as a humorous opportunity even during a life-threatening confrontation.
  • The Long-eyed Planet’s Big Shot shifts from sadistic amusement to suspicion and anger after realizing it has been manipulated. Its pride is wounded because Song Shuhang has effectively treated its attacks as part of a performance.
  • Dragon Network Lady proves highly resourceful and technically capable. She rapidly converts the customer-side program into a virus-like package and coordinates with Song Shuhang to implant it.
  • The interaction also suggests that Song Shuhang and Dragon Network Lady trust one another and can execute a complicated plan under extreme pressure.

  • Long-eyed Planet attempts to evade the data beam sent through Song Shuhang’s Third Divine Eye, but the eye—belonging to its Master—suppresses it and causes continuous “lag.”

  • Dragon Network Lady completes the program installation and retreats. She then detonates the enormous package of friend requests accumulated during Song Shuhang’s sermon.
  • The countless friend requests are redirected into Long-eyed Planet and transformed into Cultivation Chat client download data. The overwhelming data nearly causes Long-eyed Planet to crash.

Key plot points and events

  • Lady Dragon Network’s pillar-form clone repeatedly rams the Eyed Planet Boss’s pupil, piercing it and forcing the immense, normally unstoppable enemy to halt from pain.

Ch. 2816Updating so fast, there aren't enough pages!

Key plot points and events

  • The Eyed Planet Boss must choose between attacking Tyrant Song and Lady Dragon Network. Because its hatred of Song has faded after his repeated Blade-Nourishing Arts—and because the Three-Eyed Ruler ordered it not to kill him—it chooses Lady Dragon Network.
  • Song warns Lady Dragon Network that the enormous Dao Artifact is heading for her world. She urges him not to interfere: the Black Dragon World is her territory, and she expects to handle the Eyed Planet herself, with Senior White Two’s lingering will as backup.

  • Senior Three-Eyed Youth treats the arrival of Lady Dragon Network as an unexpected opportunity and quietly gathers her gift; his butler keeps him accountable to Song.
  • The reporter provides comic irony: his incomplete, mistaken view turns Song’s actions into an exaggerated news story.

Significant themes

  • Reputation versus reality: The reporter’s limited perspective transforms events into a false but entertaining account, feeding Song’s growing public legend.
  • Power and strategic restraint: Song lets Lady Dragon Network handle the threat, while she relies on home-ground advantage and backup rather than meeting force with force.
  • Growth through accumulated insight: Song’s evolving ability and epiphany show how prior transformations and newly gained knowledge can accelerate progress toward a higher Dao.

Ch. 2817Superb Wealth-Scattering Idea

Chapter 2808 Summary

Key Plot Points and Events

  • Song Shuhang, still immersed in enlightenment and epiphany, drifts toward the ground of the Scatter Wealth Throne Space.
  • Because he cannot control his body while enlightened, he crashes face-first into the ground. His unusually durable face creates a massive crater and produces a powerful shockwave.
  • The Three-Eyed Boy Senior is only partially protected by the Eyeball Butler’s steel umbrella, leaving half his hair blown upward and the other half flat. The result gives him an absurd hairstyle.
  • The Eyeball Butler begins filling the crater while Song Shuhang remains buried. It refuses to bury Song Shuhang, correctly predicting that he would simply blast his way out after awakening.
  • Song Shuhang’s enlightenment lasts nearly half an hour. He temporarily suppresses it after sensing that his Thirty-Three Divine Beasts’ Combined Magical Treasures have completed their upgrade.
  • The Three-Eyed Boy Senior, embarrassed and annoyed by the accident and by his loss in their wager, withdraws and tells Song Shuhang to leave without saying goodbye.
  • Song Shuhang learns that he must “Scatter Wealth” because he won a Daoist Item and a sword-shaped Daoist Meaning from the Three-Eyed Boy Senior.
  • Since the Daoist Item’s value cannot be measured in Spirit Stones, Song Shuhang devises an alternative: give cultivators across the myriad worlds a six-month VIP subscription to the Cultivation Chat Client.
  • He believes this will satisfy the Scatter Wealth requirement while also encouraging users to pay for continued VIP access later.
  • Song Shuhang leaves the Scatter Wealth Throne Space, stores his Main Body’s Head in his Core World, and returns to the Heavenly Emperor World.
  • His next objective is to merge the Heavenly Emperor World with the Giants’ small world, secure the Realm Lord throne, and preserve the Giants’ world’s qualification to remain a realm.

Character Developments

  • Song Shuhang: Demonstrates increased physical strength—beyond that of a Ninth Rank Tribulation Immortal—and continues progressing toward Ninth Rank. His creativity and entrepreneurial thinking are highlighted through his unconventional interpretation of “scattering wealth.”
  • Three-Eyed Boy Senior: Suffers comic humiliation from the crater blast and remains frustrated by losing the wager. His reaction shows his pride and irritation, though he ultimately allows Song Shuhang to leave.
  • Eyeball Butler: Continues acting as a loyal but sarcastic servant. It protects its master as best it can, helps repair the crater, and even cheerfully agrees to bury itself for a rest after thousands of years of work.
  • Dragon Network Lady: Though she does not appear directly, she is brought into Song Shuhang’s plan to develop the VIP trial feature.

Significant Themes

Character Interactions

  • The Eyeball Butler warns that Song Shuhang may need to be caught, but the Three-Eyed Boy Senior dismisses the concern, leading to the crater accident.
  • Afterward, the Butler humorously defends its incomplete protection of its master and grooms the Three-Eyed Boy’s damaged hairstyle.
  • The Three-Eyed Boy sarcastically orders the Butler to bury itself, which it happily accepts.
  • Song Shuhang and the Butler discuss his enlightenment, departure, and the obligation to Scatter Wealth.
  • The Butler is stunned by Song Shuhang’s VIP-subscription plan but ultimately acknowledges that it is an effective solution.

  • Phoenix Ritual Zither Master recognizes the masked, headless figure as Tyrant Song. She has mixed feelings toward him: he disrupted her plan to revive the Heavenly Emperor, but also rescued her from the Heavenly Dao Prison.
  • When Shuhang tries to re-enter his physical body, he finds another Primordial Spirit projection already inside. It explains that, after Shuhang entered the Heavenly Dao Little Black Room, his body and the Primordial Spirit entrusted to the Tribulation Immortal Void forgot about him, so his body generated a replacement projection.

  • Phoenix Ritual Zither Master openly addresses Shuhang as Tyrant Song despite his disguise, showing both perceptiveness and her conflicted feelings. She asks to continue being Jingjing, and Shuhang agrees.
  • Shuhang tries to conceal his identity but is recognized. He remains cooperative, offering to help the others join his contacts, before discovering the unexpected second projection.

  • Complicated loyalties: Phoenix Ritual Zither Master’s resentment and gratitude toward Shuhang coexist uneasily.

Ch. 2819From Today On, You're Tyrant Corpse!

Key plot points and events

  • Song Shuhang discovers that he and Projection B are two synchronized Primordial Spirit Projections. They cannot merge, but either can be canceled by their shared Primordial Spirit source.
  • The group debates whether to discard one projection. Shuhang keeps both, hoping the extra one might prove useful.
  • Senior White Two and Hamster Unit arrive on the Sword of the End. The enormous sword accidentally strikes Projection B and sends it flying.
  • Senior White Two attaches a silvery-white substance to Projection B, then uses it as the center of a Nine Netherworld spell. The resulting black-hole-like formation absorbs the virus energy, Destruction Law, and other violent energy from the collapsing Heavenly Emperor World.
  • After more than ten minutes, the world is cleansed of its dangerous energy. The spell retreats into Projection B, and Hamster Unit proclaims Shuhang “Heavenly Dao Husk Tyrant Song,” or “Tyrant Corpse.”

Character developments and interactions

  • Song Shuhang remains reluctant to waste anything potentially useful, prompting Merit Snake Beauty to joke that he is afraid of being poor. He is startled when Projection B is hit, then becomes uneasy as Senior White Two alters it.
  • Merit Snake Beauty records Shuhang’s line about having to kill himself, treating each new quote as a point in her rivalry with Creation Fairy.
  • White-Bone Fairy, Eastern Great Emperor, and White-robed Gold Trigram offer suggestions and react to the unusual double projection; Eastern Great Emperor mainly enjoys watching the spectacle.

  • Absurdity amid danger: Serious threats and cosmic-scale magic are repeatedly undercut by jokes, misunderstandings, and Shuhang’s exasperated reactions.
  • Transformation through misfortune: Projection B’s accidental injury leads to its becoming the vessel for a powerful cleansing spell—and to Shuhang’s bizarre new title.

Ch. 2820The Man Closest to the Heavenly Dao

Key plot points and events

  • Song Shuhang’s Tyrant Corpse is transformed using Senior White Two’s experimental potion. Its silver-white liquid-metal channels and compressed core give it power roughly equivalent to a Heavenly Dao Remnant Shell.
  • Song Shuhang reflects that, despite not having proved Immortality, he has gained experience with the Netherworld Ruler, the Remnant Shell, and a form of pseudo-immortality. He jokingly claims the title “the Man Closest to the Heavenly Dao.”
  • Senior White Two summons Tyrant Corpse to the Evil Lotus World for further adjustments and testing, since the potion may have side effects. This also gives “Little Hang” a chance to return home.
  • Song Shuhang restores his head and invites several Longevity Immortals to scan the QR code on his back and join his VIP friends list. Eastern Great Emperor reluctantly joins alongside White-robed Gold Trigram and Phoenix Ritual Zither Master.
  • Song Shuhang proposes making a group for former members of the Ancient Heavenly Court. White-Bone Fairy Shi suggests the melancholy name “Departed Heavenly Court.”

Character developments and interactions

  • Song Shuhang gains a powerful new asset in Tyrant Corpse and continues building alliances by adding influential seniors to his contacts. He also shows his usual irreverent humor and resourcefulness.
  • Tyrant Corpse becomes an unusually powerful, Remnant Shell-like incarnation and willingly goes to Senior White Two for modifications.
  • White-robed Gold Trigram still resists accepting that the formidable Tyrant Song is the same Song Shuhang he once knew. His inherited Heavenly Emperor’s Path earns him the teasing title “Lonely Heavenly Emperor.”
  • Senior White Two remains both creator and experimenter, inviting Tyrant Corpse for adjustments to his untested potion.
  • Phoenix Ritual Zither Master reacts strongly to the Heavenly Emperor’s title and is surprised by the revelation of his death. Her irritation at Song Shuhang’s playful title editing also drives a comic exchange.
  • Eastern Great Emperor is cautious about his furnace and reluctant to join Song Shuhang’s network, but eventually does so and delivers the chapter’s startling revelation.

Significant themes

  • Transformation and identity: Song Shuhang’s rapid rise makes it difficult even for Gold Trigram to reconcile him with his former self.
  • Power and proximity to the Dao: The chapter humorously frames Song Shuhang’s unconventional advantages as bringing him closer to the Heavenly Dao than more powerful figures.
