Chapter Summaries

Chapter Summary: “Song Gou Dan, You Idiot”

Key Plot Points and Events

• Eastern Great Emperor presents magical footage showing Ba Song apparently killing Heavenly Emperor. The recording depicts Song Shuhang using more than a dozen “Great Dao is Simple” runes to destroy Heavenly Emperor’s crystal barrier and annihilate her primordial spirit.
• Heavenly Emperor’s symbolic “Emperor’s Text” also disappears, seemingly confirming her complete death. Eastern Great Emperor therefore accuses Song Shuhang of being Heavenly Emperor’s killer and calls for the Ancient Heavenly Court’s vengeance.
• Song Shuhang responds humorously that he needs a lawyer and refuses to speak until one arrives. Phoenix Rhapsody Qin Master’s claw becomes increasingly alarmed, while the other Heavenly Court members remain suspiciously calm.
• Song Shuhang explains that Heavenly Emperor deliberately sought death as part of a plan to escape or accomplish another objective. White-robed Golden Divination confirms his account.
• To prove Heavenly Emperor is still alive, Song Shuhang creates a “Dada’s Heavenly Court” group in his Cultivation Chat system and adds former Heavenly Court members. Heavenly Emperor appears in the group under the status “Dead as can be,” demonstrating that she still exists in some form.
• Song Shuhang accidentally—or perhaps deliberately—adds another mysterious figure named “Cheng Dog Egg,” also marked “Dead as can be.” She immediately insults him as “Song Dog Egg” and leaves the group.
• Eastern Great Emperor recognizes Cheng Dog Egg as the Jade Pool Empress, the sinner who destroyed and buried the Ancient Heavenly Court.

Character Developments

• Song Shuhang/Ba Song: Remains calm and playful despite being accused of killing Heavenly Emperor. He reveals that he understands Heavenly Emperor’s apparent death was intentional and uses his unusual communication system as evidence.
• Heavenly Emperor: Her “death” is revealed to be a planned maneuver rather than an actual end. Her continued presence in Song Shuhang’s contact list suggests a deeper escape or resurrection-related scheme.
• Eastern Great Emperor: Dramatically accuses Song Shuhang despite apparently already suspecting that Heavenly Emperor sought death. His exaggerated outrage becomes a source of comedy.
• Phoenix Rhapsody Qin Master: Acts as the most visibly shocked and confused character, repeatedly reacting to revelations that the others seem to understand already.
• Black-skinned Yurouzi: Appears unconscious in Song Shuhang’s shadow after suffering pain linked to her main body losing its Spirit Ghost. Song Shuhang cares for her with a Saber Nurturing Technique.
• Cheng Dog Egg/Jade Pool Empress: Is introduced through the group chat as a mysterious “dead” figure connected to the Ancient Heavenly Court’s destruction. Her immediate anger toward Song Shuhang implies an existing history between them.

Significant Themes

• Death as strategy rather than finality: Heavenly Emperor’s apparent death is part of a larger plan, emphasizing that powerful cultivators can manipulate life, death, and identity.
• Appearance versus reality: The footage seems conclusive, but it only shows the visible outcome of an event. The truth is more complicated than the evidence suggests.
• Comedic subversion of dramatic conflict: Eastern Great Emperor attempts to frame the scene as a solemn trial, but Song Shuhang’s lawyer joke, the group-chat notifications, and the characters’ reactions undermine the seriousness.
• Connections and information networks: Song Shuhang’s Cultivation Chat system becomes a tool for proving hidden truths and revealing unexpected relationships among ancient figures.
• The unresolved legacy of the Ancient Heavenly Court: The chapter expands the mystery surrounding its destruction, especially through the introduction of the Jade Pool Empress as a possible central culprit.

Character Interactions

• Eastern Great Emperor confronts Song Shuhang using the projected evidence.
• Song Shuhang counters the accusation with humor, then explains the truth to Phoenix Rhapsody Qin Master and the others.

• The group chat brings together multiple Ancient Heavenly Court figures, astonishing Phoenix Rhapsody Qin Master.
• Cheng Dog Egg’s appearance triggers recognition from Eastern Great Emperor and establishes a hostile, comedic exchange with Song Shuhang.

Plot points and events

• Song Shuhang reveals that “Cheng Dogdan” is one of his Dao titles and that the mysterious administrator account is also him, though it interacts with him somewhat like a Spirit Ghost.
• He explains the Heavenly Emperor’s status, “Deader Than Dead”: her past is entirely erased from the Myriad Heavens and Realms. She may still communicate through the Heavenly Court group, so the others need not worry about reaching her.
• Eastern Great Emperor departs in a hurry after watching Song repeatedly use the Blade-Nourishing Art on Blackhide. Later, he realizes he feels strangely reluctant to leave and suspects the art has made him attached to Tyrant Song. He promptly flees farther away.
• The group laments that the Ancient Heavenly Court’s former minor world is now empty. Song Shuhang says he intends to combine it with another incomplete world.
• When the others question whether he can manage such a feat, Song reveals a World Fusion card—a prize or gift from Senior Three-Eyed Youth—that can merge minor worlds. It can be powered by spiritual energy or Spirit Stones.

Character developments

• Song Shuhang is increasingly candid and confident about his unusual identities and connections. He also shows a practical willingness to ask powerful allies for help, even while presenting himself as confident in the world-merging plan.
• Phoenix Claw Fairy accepts Song’s explanation about his administrator account and title, though she remains observant and asks about the Heavenly Emperor’s condition.
• Eastern Great Emperor grows wary of Song’s Blade-Nourishing Art and worries it may be affecting his feelings.
• White-robed Gold Trigram is astonished by the gap between Song’s known Eighth-Grade cultivation and his ambition to merge worlds.

Character interactions

• Song’s blunt explanation of “Cheng Dogdan” leaves Phoenix Claw Fairy speechless before she settles for calling it distinctive.
• Eastern Great Emperor’s departure prompts a cryptic farewell from ＠＃％×Fairy, which adds to his unease.
• White-Bone Fairy offers to help with the world merger, while Phoenix Claw Fairy asks whether preparations such as an array are needed. Song declines for now and produces the card instead.

Significant themes

• Identity and connection: Song’s titles and administrator persona blur the boundaries between self and other.
• Life, death, and continued presence: The Heavenly Emperor is “dead” in her past existence but remains reachable through group communication.
• Unexpected consequences of power: The Blade-Nourishing Art may influence Eastern Great Emperor’s attachment to Song.
• Resourcefulness and collaboration: Song’s ability to call on powerful allies—and his possession of a purpose-built artifact—makes a seemingly impossible undertaking appear achievable.

Key plot points and events

• Song Shuhang activates Senior Three-Eyed Youth’s [World Fusion] card to merge the Heavenly Emperor World with the Giant Minor World.
• The card verifies his identity and opens a black boundary with a portal on each side. It locks onto both worlds and begins drawing them together.
• The card’s energy demand quickly rises to more than thirty times its initial level, overwhelming even Shuhang’s exceptional reserves.
• Shuhang calls on several backup sources: Fairy Spirit Ghost, his Merit Avatar and associated merit treasures, and his two sets of Thirty-Three Beasts Composite Dharma Artifacts. Together, they let him keep the process going.
• Just as he stabilizes, the card advances to the next stage—material-world fusion—and demands still more energy. White-Bone Fairy offers to contribute her own spiritual energy; Shuhang agrees to test whether the card will accept it.

Character developments and interactions

• Song Shuhang remains determined despite feeling drained, relying on his many cores and multiple reserves to carry out the fusion.
• White-Bone Fairy shows concern for Shuhang and readily volunteers to help. Her familiarity with him is evident as she calmly explains his unusual nine-core setup.
• Phoenix Ritual Zither Master is impressed by Shuhang’s energy reserves and checks whether he can endure the strain.
• White-robed Gold Trigram compares Shuhang’s power with his own and feels a little wounded by the difference.
• Merit Snake Beauty, who had expected to collect Shuhang’s tears, instead has her own energy drained along with that of her merit treasures and nearly cries herself.
• The group’s cooperation shifts from watching Shuhang perform the fusion to considering whether they can supply energy themselves.

Significant themes

• Resourcefulness and preparation: Shuhang’s many backup power sources keep the operation from failing when his own reserves prove insufficient.
• Cooperation: The next phase prompts others to offer their energy, suggesting the task may require the group’s help.
• Power and its limits: Shuhang’s extraordinary reserves still cannot meet the demands of a world-scale magical process alone.

Key plot points and events

• White-Bone Fairy’s attempt to supply Song Shuhang with spiritual power is rejected by the World Fusion card. Its verification accepts only Song Shuhang’s own energy or energy bearing his imprint.
• Rather than spend his newly received Spirit Stones, Shuhang taps the weakened Ancient God sealed in his heart. The energy passes through Shuhang’s heart and Natal Dharma Artifacts, gains his aura, and successfully replenishes the World Fusion process.
• The Ancient God’s reserve is limited, and the Core World cannot help because its power is already committed to merging worlds.
• Su Clan’s Sixteen senses Shuhang’s need through the energy flowing between their Glazed Hearts. With White Dragon Sister, she sends him more power through Fairy Spirit Ghost.
• Their combined support gets Shuhang through the third stage. The final stage begins, requiring him to endure three more minutes as the new world’s laws and World Lord authority take shape.
• Shuhang uses his last resort: Three-Minute Real Man Mode, connecting through the Core World to Song Four in the Netherworld and working with Stele Fellow Daoist to transform into the true Netherworld Ruler. He again vows not to spend his Spirit Stones.

Character developments and interactions

• Shuhang remains resourceful and stubborn, finding successive power sources while fiercely guarding his Spirit Stones.
• White-Bone Fairy considers how she might help, while Phoenix Claw Fairy and White-robed Gold Trigram discuss the risks and alternatives.
• Su Clan’s Sixteen demonstrates her close connection to Shuhang by recognizing his situation and arranging aid from White Dragon Sister.
• The group’s support helps Shuhang survive the earlier stages, but the final test rests on his own risky trump card.

Significant themes

• Trust and connection: Energy can reach Shuhang through bonds and shared cultivation.
• Resourcefulness under pressure: Shuhang improvises as each power source proves limited or unavailable.
• Comic stubbornness: Even during a world-creating crisis, he treats his Spirit Stones as untouchable.
• Cooperation and sacrifice: Friends and allies contribute their strength to help complete the fusion.

Chapter Summary

Key Plot Points and Events

• Song Shuhang uses his Core World and Song Four as a transfer point to activate Nine Nether Master mode, borrowing Senior White Two’s power for three minutes.
• To avoid heavenly punishment, he opens a spatial tunnel directly into the Nine Nether and keeps his physical body positioned within it.
• His sudden transformation from a righteous aura into an abyssal, terrifying one shocks the observing White Robe Golden Diviner, White Bone Fairy, and Phoenix Qin Master’s claws. They realize he can wield Nine Nether authority despite being a human.
• Song Shuhang dismisses the situation by claiming he is merely a “temporary worker,” then pulls the White Robe Island Master and White Bone Fairy into the spatial tunnel.
• Empowered by Nine Nether Master-level energy, the World Fusion card operates at full strength and successfully merges two worlds into a new world.
• During the three-minute fusion, Song Shuhang restores his spiritual energy and replenishes his various backup power sources, anticipating that the final stage might still require energy.
• Once the new world is formed, Song Shuhang is recognized as its World Master. The Tyrant World World Seal appears and receives enormous heavenly merit for saving and creating an entire world.
• Song Shuhang infuses the World Seal with spiritual energy, completing the succession process and officially binding himself to the new world.
• The Merit Flower Fairy absorbs the immense merit and rapidly increases in strength, reaching a special level comparable to a “weak Longevity Being,” though she has not fully formed her own Dao.
• The new world displays countless auspicious phenomena, attracting the attention of cultivators and powerful Longevity Beings throughout the myriad worlds, who speculate that a new World Lord has been born.
• Just as Song Shuhang celebrates that he has protected his precious Spirit Stones, the World Fusion card asks whether he wants to spend a large number of Spirit Stones to stabilize and reuse it—leaving him speechless and horrified.

Character Developments

• Song Shuhang demonstrates increasingly advanced control over Nine Nether authority, successfully combining it with the World Fusion card. His cautious nature is emphasized by his deliberate restoration of energy before the fusion’s final stage.
• He officially becomes the World Master of the Tyrant World, marking a major increase in status and responsibility.
• His reputation and potential grow beyond that of an ordinary Profound Sage; the formation of the world suggests he may now be recognized as a World Lord-level existence.
• Merit Flower Fairy/Merit Snake Beauty undergoes a major power increase after absorbing the world-saving merit. She evolves into a being stronger than the ordinary Ninth-Rank Tribulation Immortal level, though still below a true Longevity Being.
• White Robe Golden Diviner, White Bone Fairy, and Phoenix Qin Master gain a new understanding of Song Shuhang’s impossible connection to the Nine Nether and are left shocked by his transformation.

Significant Themes

• Power through unexpected combinations: Song Shuhang’s temporary Nine Nether Master mode perfectly complements the World Fusion card, allowing him to accomplish something far beyond his normal abilities.
• Growth and recognition: The creation of a new world symbolizes Song Shuhang’s rapid rise in power and status, as well as his transition from an unusual cultivator into a major cosmic figure.
• Caution versus extravagance: Song Shuhang carefully conserves and restores his energy, yet the World Fusion card immediately tempts him to spend an enormous amount of Spirit Stones.
• Humor amid cosmic grandeur: Despite world creation, heavenly merit, and the attention of Longevity Beings, Song Shuhang remains primarily concerned with protecting his savings.
• Merit and responsibility: The merit earned from saving and creating a world strengthens both the World Seal and the Merit Flower Fairy, linking great power to large-scale achievements.

Character Interactions

• The observers react with disbelief and fear when Song Shuhang becomes the Nine Nether Master, questioning how someone they know as Shuhang can possess such authority.

• He uses his telekinetic power to bring the White Robe Island Master and White Bone Fairy into the spatial tunnel so they can witness the world fusion.
• Fairy @＃％× records the entire process as educational material, intending for Song Shuhang to use it to teach future disciples.
• The chapter ends with Song Shuhang’s triumphant relief turning into stunned disbelief when the World Fusion card suggests spending Spirit Stones to preserve and reuse it.

Key plot points

• The World Fusion Card begins disintegrating because it needs Spirit Stones—not spiritual energy—to preserve its laws and structure. Song Shuhang sacrifices all the Ninth-Grade Spirit Stones he has just received, saving the card and retaining as much of its power as possible.
• The onlookers lament Song Shuhang’s financial state: he owes Sage White enormous sums, including debts for upgrading his many Natal Dharma Artifacts, and is unlikely to repay them without finding a Spirit Stone planet.
• With the New World complete, Song Shuhang merges its Realm Lord Seal into his Natal Dantian. The world and its authority strengthen his body and Primordial Spirit, bringing a breakthrough to Ninth Grade closer.
• The New World’s emergence resonates across the Myriad Heavens and Realms like a Profound Sage Lecture, drawing the attention of powerful Longevity Immortals. They discover that Song Shuhang—not merely an embodiment of the world’s rules—is its World Lord.
• A recording of the world’s creation spreads across the realms, showing Song Shuhang shaping two world planes and wielding the power of a Netherworld Ruler. Observers wonder whether he has already reached the Heavenly Dao.

• Power versus poverty: His overwhelming presence contrasts comically with his crushing debts.
• Recognition and reputation: Song Shuhang’s actions are broadcast across the realms, prompting others to reinterpret his past and speculate about his true status.
• Transformation and rising authority: The New World’s completion marks both a personal power-up and a major expansion of Song Shuhang’s influence.

Key plot points and events

• The cultivators of the Myriad Heavens and Realms realize that the Heavenly Dao Seat is still vacant, so Tyrant Song has not yet proven the Way of Immortality.
• They are baffled that he nevertheless possesses a half-body of the Netherworld Ruler—a feat that appears to violate the usual rules and that even legendary figures failed to achieve.
• Longevity Immortals debate how he acquired it and what it means. They conclude that if someone else becomes the New Heavenly Dao, Tyrant Song’s Netherworld Ruler aspect could become a rival authority, making him a likely target.
• The realm-wide announcement records Tyrant Song formally becoming the flawless World Lord of the Overlord World. Ordinary cultivators mostly take this as another impressive milestone, while powerful immortals speculate about its deeper implications.
• Song Shuhang receives feedback from the audience and realizes that, unless he becomes the Heavenly Dao, he may be killed by whoever does. He is alarmed to discover how dangerous his position has become.

Character developments

• Song Shuhang remains outwardly successful but gains a clearer—and unsettling—understanding of the stakes surrounding his Netherworld Ruler aspect. He feels trapped into competing for the Heavenly Dao despite being only an Eighth-Grade cultivator.
• The Longevity Immortals and Tribulation Immortals demonstrate their strategic foresight, reasoning through the potential conflict between two Netherworld Rulers.
• Ordinary cultivators continue to admire Tyrant Song without recognizing the peril that the powerful figures perceive.

Significant themes

• The cost of power and ambition: His new status may leave him no safe option except to pursue the Heavenly Dao.
• Appearance versus reality: The public sees an impressive World Lord ceremony, while Shuhang and the immortals recognize its potentially lethal consequences.
• Fate and constrained choice: Shuhang may be forced into a struggle he is not yet qualified—or prepared—to undertake.

Character interactions

• The immortals exchange theories across planes, moving from disbelief about Shuhang’s achievement to concern over its consequences.
• Their reasoning paints a possible future conflict: a New Heavenly Dao might try to eliminate Shuhang or his Netherworld Ruler aspect.
• Shuhang indirectly “hears” their discussion through audience feedback, then reacts with anxious humor, comparing his predicament to being dangerously unprepared for a major commitment.

Plot points and events

• Song Shuhang jokes about the possibility of having a daughter before he is old enough to marry, then proposes the absurd workaround of carrying her for years. Merit Snake Beauty and ＠＃％×Fairy react with disbelief and discomfort.
• He considers clearing up the misunderstanding that he is the Netherworld Ruler, but decides that doing so would reveal Senior White Two. Instead, he muses about befriending a future Heavenly Dao—ideally someone among his powerful acquaintances, such as Senior White.
• The Server-Wide Announcement ends, and Shuhang’s Sage-like appearance fades. The audience expects a lecture and eagerly asks him to speak, but he stays silent: he is exhausted and has run out of material.
• After other characters congratulate him on becoming a World Lord, Stele Fellow Daoist asks what he plans to do. Shuhang says he will help Lady Dragon Network improve the cultivation chat app and add paid VIP features.
• Lady Dragon Network reports that she has activated a VIP trial function, limited to one month because of the system’s workload. Shuhang praises her and remembers his plan to give the app’s users a reward.
• With only a little announcement time left, Shuhang explains that he cannot give a lecture, but promises to share the celebration with the cultivators of the Myriad Heavens and Realms.

Character developments and interactions

• Song Shuhang remains irreverent and improvisational, but also cautious about exposing Senior White Two. As a new World Lord, he turns quickly to practical plans for the app and distributing benefits.
• Merit Snake Beauty counters his outlandish remarks with skepticism and teasing; ＠＃％×Fairy is so unsettled by his parenting idea that she silently records it.
• Lady Dragon Network proves efficient and capable, quickly enabling the VIP trial feature. Shuhang responds with enthusiastic, if uninspired, praise.
• White-Bone Fairy, White-robed Gold Trigram, Phoenix Claw Fairy, and Stele Fellow Daoist congratulate Shuhang and engage him about his new status. Meanwhile, the wider cultivator audience treats his appearance as a chance for a lecture and floods him with requests.

Significant themes

• Comedy through absurdity: Shuhang’s proposed long-term pregnancy and his “temporary worker” explanation are deliberately ridiculous.
• Public image versus reality: The cultivators view Tyrant Song as a profound lecturer, while he privately admits he has little left to say.
• Power and responsibility: Becoming a World Lord brings status, but Shuhang recognizes that such success is rare and owes much to Senior White’s help.
• Generosity and community: Shuhang plans to turn his milestone into a benefit for app users, setting up a reward for cultivators across the realms.

Chapter Summary: “VIP Who Received Trillions of Spirit Stones”

Key Plot Points and Events

• Ba Song (Song Shuhang) announces an unprecedented Scatter Wealth Throne ceremony for all cultivators across the All Heavens and Myriad Worlds.
• Instead of distributing physical treasures, he grants every user of the Cultivation Chat Client a one-month trial of VIP membership, theoretically worth trillions of ninth-rank spirit stones.
• This ceremony expands the Scatter Wealth Throne’s reach from its traditional city-sized scale to the level of the entire universe and all connected worlds.
• Song Shuhang opens the Scatter Wealth Throne space as part of his agreement with Three-Eyed Boy Senior, though its shelves remain empty because the actual reward is delivered digitally.
• Song Shuhang, Dragon Network Lady, and the Long-eyed Planet’s Big Shot link together to operate the Cultivation Chat Client and distribute the VIP benefits through the server.
• Countless star-shaped visual effects spread across the worlds, allowing cultivators to “catch” the rewards, though this is only ceremonial; the real activation occurs through the client’s backend.
• The VIP package includes nearly eighty privileges, such as special name effects, avatars, custom fonts, ad removal, sect group chats, voice calls, lecture discounts, food reservations, and the ability to block a chosen friend for seven days each month.
• The most valuable benefits are access to high-level lectures, including free Sixth Stage True Monarch lectures and discounted lectures from Venerables, Mysterious Saints, Tribulation Immortals, and even Eternal Life experts.
• He Zhi Modi becomes especially interested in the seven-day blocking function, hoping to use it to avoid Ba Song’s troublesome “fleecing.”
• He attempts to activate the free trial, only for Dragon Network Lady to reveal that the supposed trial is a prank: the system tells him that free VIP is impossible and mocks him.

Character Developments

• The expansion of influence: Song Shuhang’s abilities and reputation have grown to a cosmic scale, reflecting his transformation from an ordinary cultivator into a major figure affecting all worlds.
• Commercialization and consumer temptation: The VIP system uses attractive privileges—especially access to powerful lectures—to persuade cultivators to recharge and become paying customers.
• Humor through exaggerated scale and deception: The ceremony is described in grand, cosmic terms, but the reward is essentially a subscription package, and the “free trial” ends in a deliberately cruel joke.
• Power and helplessness: Even powerful figures such as the Long-eyed Planet’s Big Shot and He Zhi Modi are drawn into or manipulated by Song Shuhang’s systems.

Character Interactions

• Song Shuhang works closely with Dragon Network Lady and the Long-eyed Planet’s Big Shot to distribute the VIP membership across all worlds.
• Cultivators speculate about how Ba Song will “share his joy,” recalling his previous ability to impose experiences such as maternal love and death on others.

• He Zhi Modi’s interaction with the client ends with Dragon Network Lady personally mocking him, reinforcing the playful rivalry and ongoing conflict between them.

• While exploring the platform, What Can Be Sold Big Shot notices numerous commercial opportunities and considers having Fairy @#%× exploit them.
• Song Shuhang bypasses the block by contacting him through the system elf, “Prickly Little Squirrel.” What Can Be Sold Big Shot quickly recognizes Song Shuhang despite the mechanical tone and realizes that blocking him has not actually prevented communication.

She can also help manage the Tribulation Immortal lecture project. Their swift deal leaves her master feeling abruptly sidelined and wondering whether he has lost his value.
• Lady Dragon Network activates the Lecture Channel’s trial version. To support it, she draws on Song Shuhang’s Pseudo-Immortality Law and his fragmentary knowledge of Profound Sage Lecture Rules. She also proposes using part of his Tomb of Nine Cultivators as a dedicated sub-server.
• Song agrees to grant Lady Dragon Network access and eventually move the tomb into his Overlord World. Lady Dragon Network completes the setup in just under five minutes.
• The Lecture Channel opens to cultivators across the Myriad Heavens and Realms. Users recognize that it feels much like a Profound Sage Lecture and speculate about whether lecturers might earn Merit Power. With no one having lectured yet, everyone wonders who will be the first.
• Powerful Tribulation Immortals and Longevity Immortals recognize the deeper implication: Song Shuhang is using the authority of the Heavenly Dao despite his mortal body.

Character developments and interactions

• Song Shuhang readily accepts the business arrangement with Fairy Anything Can Be Bought and trusts Lady Dragon Network with access to his powers and resources. His growing influence is evident in his role as a World Lord and in the infrastructure he can offer.

• Ambition and infrastructure: Lady Dragon Network sees the new feature as the beginning of a much larger, world-spanning system.
• Recognition and value: The chapter contrasts Song Shuhang’s expanding influence with Everything Can Be Sold Big Shot’s insecurity about being displaced.

Key plot points and events

• Tyrant Song’s Nine Netherworld Ruler clone reveals itself and wields Heavenly Dao Authority in a cultivator’s body. Longevity Immortals speculate that he is trying to gain the Heavenly Dao’s powers without taking on its duties—and wonder whether this could be a new path to proving the Dao.
• Tyrant Song’s repeated, unprecedented feats have brought a circle of powerful observers together through secret cross-plane exchanges. They decide to create a group on his Cultivation Chat Client, after testing that it poses no threat.
• The Tyrant Song Research Chat Group is formed, bringing together Longevity Immortals and powerful Tribulation Immortals. Its members include the Primordial Witch, the Beast-Taming Sage, and other influential figures.
• The group’s creation is part of a deliberate promotional effort by Lady Dragon Network, who has Fairy Cheng Lin use alternate accounts to steer conversations and encourage favorable misunderstandings about Tyrant Song. The scheme helps expand his influence, though he himself knows nothing about it.

Character developments and interactions

• The group’s members are impressed by Tyrant Song and increasingly convinced that he may accomplish what seems impossible. One particularly enthusiastic Immortal acts as part of his “hype army.”
• Fairy Cheng Lin proves effective at guiding the powerful group’s discussions. Lady Dragon Network thanks her, then suggests she recruit another batch of targets.
• The Immortals cooperate despite their immense status, seeing the chat group as a useful way to communicate and discuss Tyrant Song.

Significant themes

• Tyrant Song’s boundary-breaking ambition: He appears to seek power associated with the Heavenly Dao while avoiding its burdens.
• Reputation and influence: Tyrant Song’s real achievements are amplified by covert promotion and carefully guided conversation.
• Technology and trust: Even powerful Immortals investigate the chat client before adopting it, but ultimately use it to connect across planes.
• Dramatic irony: Tyrant Song’s growing fame is partly engineered behind his back, without his knowledge.

Chapter Summary

Key Plot Points and Events

• Fairy Cheng Lin volunteers to promote Song Shuhang, planning to gather more Tribulation Immortals and create a “Top Tribulation Immortal Tyrant Song Chat Group” to increase his reputation.
• She suggests that Lady Dragon Network create a “Tyrant Song Hype Manual,” but Lady Dragon Network refuses to make something so embarrassing and instead focuses on upgrading the Cultivation Chat Client.
• In the Nine Provinces Number One Group, the members discuss Song Shuhang’s transformation into the server of the Cultivation Chat Client and praise his creation of the Online Lecture Channel.
• The group reflects on the passing year, noting that Song Shuhang became a true Profound Sage and that Senior White returned from seclusion. Fairy Lychee proposes a New Year reunion.
• The members debate whether Song Shuhang should send them New Year red envelopes. Since he is now an Eighth-Grade Profound Sage while many group members are only Fifth- or Sixth-Grade cultivators, sending him gifts—or receiving gifts from him—feels awkward.
• Northern River’s Loose Cultivator suggests that everyone send red envelopes to Song Shuhang’s disciples instead. Copper Trigram jokes that Song Shuhang might eventually create a Cultivation Chat Coins system and send everyone one hundred million coins every year.
• Ten-Million Phone-Bill Layman contacts Song Shuhang about continuing the monthly Sixth-Grade free lectures. Although the Layman has advanced to Seventh Grade, he believes his lectures would be even more useful.
• The Layman offers to conduct all the lectures in 2020 and mentions a secret realm containing a possible Heavenly Tribulation-reducing buff. Song Shuhang realizes the Layman may already have taken Fairy Spirit Ghost there, though neither of them clearly remembers.
• Song Shuhang gladly agrees to let the Layman continue teaching without asking for compensation.

Character Developments

• Song Shuhang has grown from a junior cultivator into a powerful Profound Sage and the “main server” of the Cultivation Chat Client. Despite his status and strength, he remains respectful toward his seniors and uncomfortable with changing the group’s traditional relationships.
• Fairy Cheng Lin reveals a mischievous, energetic side by taking on the role of Song Shuhang’s unofficial hype agent.
• Lady Dragon Network remains practical and hardworking, prioritizing system upgrades over embarrassing promotional projects.
• The Nine Provinces group members show that they still regard Song Shuhang as a junior and friend despite his enormous rise in cultivation.
• Ten-Million Phone-Bill Layman has advanced to Seventh Grade but remains absent-minded and eccentric. His offer to teach for free despite being owed compensation highlights his peculiar generosity and unreliable memory.

Significant Themes

• Changing status versus enduring relationships: Song Shuhang’s cultivation has advanced dramatically, but the group still treats him with the warmth and familiarity of a junior member.
• The absurdity of cultivation modernization: The Cultivation Chat Client, online lectures, servers, hype campaigns, and possible virtual currency blend traditional cultivation with internet culture.
• Community and companionship: The group’s New Year discussion emphasizes reunion, shared memories, and mutual affection rather than formal hierarchy.
• Humor through contradiction: An Eighth-Grade Profound Sage is still treated as a junior who should receive New Year gifts, while a Seventh-Grade cultivator wants to give him free beginner lectures.
• Song Shuhang’s growing influence: Multiple characters are actively promoting him, teaching through his system, or using his network, showing that his role now extends across the cultivation world.

Character Interactions

• Fairy Cheng Lin and Lady Dragon Network discuss promoting Song Shuhang, with Cheng Lin pushing playful ideas and Lady Dragon Network responding dutifully but pragmatically.
• The Nine Provinces Number One Group collectively reminisces about Song Shuhang’s achievements and plans a New Year gathering.
• Doudou and Northern River’s Loose Cultivator debate the problem of New Year red envelopes, with Northern River offering the practical compromise of gifting Song Shuhang’s disciples.
• Copper Trigram adds comic relief by predicting that Song Shuhang will introduce a paid Cultivation Chat Coins system.
• Song Shuhang and Ten-Million Phone-Bill Layman exchange messages about the lecture channel. Song Shuhang generously allows the Layman to continue teaching, while the Layman proposes an oddly unnecessary compensation involving a secret realm.

Chapter Summary: “A Handsome and Refined Layman”

Plot Points and Events

• Song Shuhang decides not to enter the hermit lineage’s ancestral secret realm because he fears being permanently trapped in a passive “Little Transparent” state, in which people gradually forget one’s existence.
• Feeling sympathy for One Million Phone Bill Hermit, Song Shuhang proposes that the hermit give his Sixth Rank lecture immediately rather than waiting until the next day. The timing is ideal because the Cultivation Chat Client has just attracted users from across the myriad worlds.
• The lecture channel is intended to debut with free Sixth Rank lectures, while higher-level Tribulation Immortal and Eternal Life lectures must wait until the platform’s upgrade and payment systems are complete.
• The hermit reveals that he has prepared lecture manuscripts for every cultivation realm, originally intending to teach future disciples. However, his fading presence made him afraid that disciples would eventually forget him, so he abandoned the idea of taking disciples.
• Song Shuhang sends him a contract. The hermit signs it immediately under the Daoist name “Drunk Eye Hermit,” confirming that Song Shuhang had indeed forgotten his name.
• The two discuss New Year’s gifts. Since Song Shuhang is now a genuine Mysterious Saint, the seniors will give red envelopes to his disciples instead of him. The hermit hopes the disciples will remember him.
• The hermit logs into the Cultivation Chat Client and enters the newly activated monthly free Sixth Rank lecture channel.
• To ensure a successful debut, Song Shuhang uses his server authority to issue a platform-wide announcement. More than sixty percent of online users enter the lecture channel.
• Drunk Eye Hermit finally appears on-screen, presenting himself as an exceptionally handsome and refined hermit. The chapter ends with the humorous observation that viewers repeatedly look between his face and body, unable to retain a clear memory of what his face looks like.

Character Developments

• Song Shuhang shows compassion toward Drunk Eye Hermit and becomes unusually considerate of him. He deliberately gives the hermit a prominent opportunity to gain recognition and ensures that his first lecture receives maximum exposure.
• Song Shuhang also realizes the disadvantages of advancing too quickly: he has never received New Year’s red envelopes from the seniors because he became too powerful before forming those traditions with them.
• Drunk Eye Hermit is revealed to be prepared, sincere, and eager to make an impression. Although he has reached the seventh rank, he treasures the simple opportunity to “shine” through a public lecture.
• The hermit’s fear of being forgotten has prevented him from taking disciples, revealing the emotional pain caused by his fading existence. Despite this, he remains generous and hopes to leave behind memories through his teachings and gifts.
• His Daoist name, “Drunk Eye Hermit,” emphasizes that Song Shuhang’s inability to remember him is not merely a temporary mistake but a direct effect of his peculiar condition.

Significant Themes

• The pain of being forgotten: The chapter explores how immortality and cultivation can bring emotional isolation when others can no longer remember someone.
• Memory and identity: A person’s name, relationships, students, and reputation are presented as essential parts of existence. Drunk Eye fears losing not only recognition but also meaningful bonds.
• Kindness and companionship: Song Shuhang’s decision to promote the hermit’s lecture demonstrates the importance of helping others preserve their dignity and sense of belonging.
• Technology and cultivation: The Cultivation Chat Client transforms lectures into a large-scale, cross-world media event, blending modern online platforms with the cultivation world.
• Humor amid melancholy: The chapter balances the hermit’s tragic condition with jokes about forgotten names, missed red envelopes, and his handsome appearance being impossible to remember clearly.

Character Interactions

• Song Shuhang and Drunk Eye Hermit discuss the timing and format of the lecture, with Song Shuhang encouraging him to take advantage of the platform’s large audience.
• Their contract exchange highlights both Song Shuhang’s administrative role and the hermit’s eagerness to participate.
• The New Year’s red-envelope conversation reveals their friendly relationship, while also emphasizing the hermit’s wish that Song Shuhang’s disciples remember him.
• Song Shuhang actively supports the hermit by granting him access to both the Sixth Rank lecture channel and future Seventh Rank lecture privileges, then promoting his debut through a system-wide announcement.
• The audience’s reaction to the hermit’s appearance provides the chapter’s closing comedic interaction: everyone is impressed by his beauty but immediately struggles to remember his face.

Key plot points and events

• Lay Buddhist Drunken Use begins a lecture that captivates viewers with an unusual effect: people repeatedly forget his face and title, then feel as if they are seeing him for the first time—or falling in love. Even powerful Longevity Immortals are affected.
• The new Cultivation Chat group discusses the speaker’s strange influence. Great Master of Vajra Temple uses the moment to promote Tyrant Song indirectly, while the group struggles to remember the lay Buddhist’s full title.
• My Household Has a Pair of Dog Eggs—treated by the others as a formidable, reliable senior—raises a more consequential question in the group’s private cipher: could the Lecture Channel let Longevity Immortals study the rules behind Tyrant Song’s ability to wield Heavenly Dao authority?
• The group becomes interested in testing the Longevity Immortal Lecture feature and watching the results of Drunken Use’s lecture.
• Song Shuhang observes that most Cultivation Chat users have entered the Lecture Channel and expects the lay Buddhist to be pleased. He also hopes the free lecture will earn Merit. Black-Skinned Soft Feather has recovered and asks what he is doing.

Character developments and interactions

• My Household Has a Pair of Dog Eggs establishes himself as a thoughtful, influential figure by redirecting the discussion toward the potential benefits of the Lecture Channel.
• The Longevity Immortals move from being bewildered by Drunken Use’s presence to considering lectures as a way to investigate Tyrant Song’s powers.
• Great Master of Vajra Temple continues his indirect praise of Tyrant Song, turning the unusual lecture into another chance to build Tyrant Song’s reputation.
• Song Shuhang focuses on the lecture’s audience and possible Merit rewards, while checking whether Black-Skinned Soft Feather can access the client.
• Lady Dragon Network quietly collects data from the Longevity Immortals, viewing them as valuable users for the chat system.

Significant themes

• Power and perception: Drunken Use’s charisma disrupts memory and affects even powerful cultivators.
• Learning through shared systems: The Lecture Channel may provide a way to study profound rules through participation.
• Influence and persuasion: The group’s attention is subtly guided toward Tyrant Song and the lecture feature.
• Merit and opportunity: Song Shuhang sees a free public lecture as both a service and a possible source of Merit.

Drunken-Eyed Layman gave his first lecture to cultivators across the Myriad Heavens and Realms, drawing them into a serene listening state. The merit from his lecture formed a Merit Lotus instead of entering his body, and he sensed that it could avert tribulations when empowered by his lineage.

• Drunken-Eyed Layman began his lecture, and cultivators from first to fifth grade became so absorbed that they forgot who was speaking.
• Song Shuhang moved the Tomb of Nine Cultivators and the Sun Ship into his Overlord World, then used the tomb to share the lecture with his accessories.
• Black-Skinned Soft Feather and the fairies discussed the layman's name, while Stele Fellow Daoist returned to the Tomb of Nine Cultivators to help after the lecture.
• Drunken-Eyed Layman finished his lecture, leaving listeners soothed and earning merit from the cultivators of the Myriad Heavens and Realms.
• The merit gathered away from Drunken-Eyed Layman and formed a Merit Lotus, which he caught and recognized as a possible tribulation-averting treasure.

Key plot points and events

• Drunken-Eyed Layman’s lecture produces a Merit Golden Lotus rather than merging merit into his body. The Lotus can help its holder avoid calamities and affect Heavenly Tribulations, but it must be activated with the spiritual power of the layman’s lineage.
• The layman wants to give the Lotus to Song Shuhang as thanks for letting him deliver a lecture to a vast audience. However, using the layman’s spiritual power would bind the treasure to him, so he considers teaching Shuhang a basic strand of his lineage’s cultivation technique instead.
• The lecture’s Merit Power also strengthens the Tomb of Nine Cultivators, which served as the livestream platform, and flows back to Song Shuhang to strengthen Merit Snake Beauty.
• Listeners praise the lecture’s extraordinary effect, comparing its impact to an Eighth-Grade Profound Sage lecture. When they discover the platform resembles a tomb marked “Tyrant Song’s Tomb,” they assume the lecture and tomb are connected to Song Shuhang.
• The layman offers Song Shuhang the Lotus. Shuhang accepts because it could further shorten his approaching Heavenly Tribulation—but balks when told he must learn the layman’s cultivation technique to activate it.

Character developments

• Drunken-Eyed Layman is deeply grateful for the chance to lecture and regards the experience as a treasured honor. Though frustrated that the Lotus formed outside his body, he chooses to give it to Shuhang and seeks a way to make it usable.
• Song Shuhang remains eager to reduce the danger and duration of his Heavenly Tribulation, but is wary of adopting another lineage’s cultivation technique.
• Merit Snake Beauty continues to grow as Song Shuhang directs the Merit Power accumulated through the lecture toward her.

Significant themes

• Merit and generosity: The lecture benefits the speaker, audience, platform, and Shuhang’s allies.
• Unexpected consequences: The lecture’s setting is mistaken for Song Shuhang’s tomb, creating a bizarre rumor.
• Gifts with conditions: The Lotus is valuable, but activating it requires a potentially consequential commitment.
• Reputation and scale: Shuhang’s fame shapes how cultivators interpret even an incidental detail.

Character interactions

• The layman and Shuhang share warm, humorous conversation about the lecture’s success and the Merit Power it generated.
• The layman offers the Lotus as repayment for Shuhang’s support; Shuhang accepts candidly, then questions the required technique.
• The wider cultivation community reacts with admiration and confusion, linking the lecture and mysterious tomb to Tyrant Song.

Chapter 2830 Summary: “Forgot the Divine Skill”

Key Plot Points and Events

• Song Shuhang discusses the Yu Nan Hermit lineage’s “Little Transparent” state, a permanent passive ability that causes others to gradually overlook or forget the user.
• He imagines how powerful the technique would be if it could be activated and deactivated at will, allowing someone to repeatedly annoy powerful figures and then erase themselves from those figures’ memories.
• Drunk Eye Hermit explains that the Merit Golden Lotus’s calamity-avoidance ability requires spiritual energy cultivated from the Yu Nan Hermit lineage’s special technique.
• Song Shuhang therefore only needs to learn the introductory portion of the technique and supply spiritual energy to the Golden Lotus. Because he is already at the Eighth Rank, reaching the beginner level should be easy.
• Drunk Eye Hermit assures him that sharing the technique is permissible. His lineage has no effective enforcement structure, partly because its members and traditions are so easily forgotten. He also sees teaching Song Shuhang as a form of insurance in case the lineage’s legacy disappears.
• When Song Shuhang asks for the technique’s name, Drunk Eye Hermit has forgotten it. Song Shuhang jokingly names it “Forgot the Divine Skill.”
• The transmitted technique is written entirely in Ancient Script, leaving Song Shuhang struggling to understand its specialized terminology.
• As Song Shuhang considers using his Dao ability, “Primal Language and Script Law,” a spatial door opens and Spirit Ghost Fairy arrives.
• Spirit Ghost Fairy cryptically remarks, “The wind is so noisy today,” while Merit Snake Beauty makes a corresponding gesture, suggesting the fairies are using a private code Song Shuhang does not understand.

Character Developments

• Song Shuhang remains quick-witted, irreverent, and prone to deliberately absurd interpretations. He jokingly accuses Drunk Eye Hermit of implying that he is not human, then names the forgotten technique himself.
• He also demonstrates responsibility by questioning whether Drunk Eye Hermit is allowed to pass on a sect technique, showing awareness of cultivation-world rules and traditions.
• Drunk Eye Hermit reveals the isolation and instability of his lineage. He vaguely remembers having an elder or master but cannot recall the person’s identity, emphasizing how thoroughly the lineage’s own ability affects its members.
• The hermit shows concern for preserving his sect’s inheritance by teaching Song Shuhang the technique.
• Spirit Ghost Fairy appears unexpectedly and seems connected to the mysterious communication system shared by Song Shuhang’s other manifested companions.

Significant Themes

• The benefits and drawbacks of invisibility: The “Little Transparent” state is powerful because it removes one from others’ awareness, but its uncontrollable, lifelong nature makes it burdensome.
• Memory and identity: The chapter repeatedly explores how forgetting affects relationships, inheritance, authority, and even one’s sense of personal history.
• Preserving legacies: Drunk Eye Hermit’s decision to pass on the technique reflects the fear that his lineage may vanish because no one can reliably remember it.
• Comedy through miscommunication: Song Shuhang’s literal, exaggerated interpretations clash with the hermit’s slower reasoning, while the mysterious fairy code creates another humorous communication gap.
• The contrast between power and inconvenience: A technique that could be an unparalleled divine skill if controlled is instead treated as an awkward and unreliable burden.

Character Interactions

• Song Shuhang and Drunk Eye Hermit engage in a comedic but meaningful discussion about the technique’s risks, rules, and purpose.
• The hermit explains the Golden Lotus’s requirements and entrusts Song Shuhang with the introductory cultivation method.
• Song Shuhang accepts the responsibility while teasing the hermit about forgetting the technique’s name.
• Spirit Ghost Fairy’s arrival introduces a new interaction with Merit Snake Beauty, whose gesture appears to answer Spirit Ghost Fairy’s cryptic statement. Song Shuhang is excluded from—or has yet to understand—their secret communication system.

Fairy Spirit Ghost entered a door manifested by her Spirit Ghost Contract, and Song Shuhang discovered that he could understand the Forgetting Divine Technique far beyond the opening Drunken-Eyed Layman had sent him. He began cultivating it and contacted Dog Egg's Dad to ask about the Heavenly Dao Little Black Room.

• Fairy Spirit Ghost recited twelve wind-themed poems in Song Shuhang's voice, then opened a phantom door on his chest and entered it.
• Pavilion Master Chu explained that the door manifested the Spirit Ghost Contract and that Fairy Spirit Ghost now had two households.
• Song Shuhang read the opening of the Forgetting Divine Technique and understood it immediately, then answered Drunken-Eyed Layman's questions about parts he had never received.
• Song Shuhang suspected Fairy Spirit Ghost's knowledge had enabled his understanding and began cultivating the technique.
• While cultivating, Song Shuhang contacted Dog Egg's Dad and asked for information about the Heavenly Dao Little Black Room.
