Ch. 2861The Information Is Too Much
Chapter Summary: “Too Much Information”
Key Plot Points and Events
- The illusory figure meets with the White Bone Fairy’s “Bone Shard Avatar” in a special space. Because his strength is limited, he tries to persuade her instead of fighting.
- White Bone Fairy questions how he plans to deal with her in the future, especially whether he will once again use the vague answer of “three years later.”
- He reveals that he intends to reincarnate in three years by becoming one of Ba Song’s children. He humorously proposes that Ba Song’s partner have triplets so that three versions of him can be born.
- White Bone Fairy is overwhelmed by the absurdity of this plan and points out that she, Little White, and Lord Chu would all want one of the reincarnated versions. She urges him to devise a more “perfect” plan.
- Before leaving, the illusory figure apologizes for their brief meeting and promises that their next reunion will last indefinitely. He touches her forehead, causing the Avatar to dissolve before prolonged exposure damages her.
- The memories and emotions of the meeting return to White Bone Fairy’s main body. Reflecting on the future, she quietly calls Ba Song “Dad” in advance so she can become accustomed to the title before the others.
- Other powerful figures overhear her and misunderstand the remark, wondering whether her father has suddenly appeared.
- In another world, Ye Si arrives to thank the illusory figure for helping Song Shuhang complete the “Self Corpse” stage. She then worries that sealing Shuhang’s Spirit Ghost Contract and closing the relevant “doors and windows” may have harmed him.
- The illusory figure responds with increasingly awkward laughter, leaving the consequences unresolved at the chapter’s end.
Character Developments

- Ba Song: Does not actively participate in the central conversation, but his future marriage, pregnancy, and possible role as the parent of the illusory figure become the basis of the chapter’s main joke.
- Ye Si: Acts as a concerned partner in Shuhang’s cultivation and remains attentive to the possible consequences of their actions.
