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

  • The illusory figure: Shows vulnerability beneath his humor. He acknowledges that he is incomplete and believes reincarnation is necessary. His farewell to White Bone Fairy reveals genuine affection and regret over their limited time together.
  • White Bone Fairy: Demonstrates both her combative personality and emotional attachment to him. Though initially teasing and skeptical, she is deeply affected by his farewell and begins mentally preparing to call Ba Song “Dad,” partly to gain an advantage over Little White and Lord Chu.
  • 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.
  • Little White and Lord Chu: Their closeness to the illusory figure is emphasized through White Bone Fairy’s belief that they would also want a reincarnated version of him.

Significant Themes

  • Reincarnation and identity: The illusory figure’s incomplete nature raises questions about whether reincarnation can create a fuller or more perfect self.
  • Limited time and parting: The meeting with White Bone Fairy highlights the pain of temporary reunions and the promise of a future when they can remain together.
  • Friendship expressed through humor: Absurd jokes about triplets, pregnancy, and calling Ba Song “Dad” conceal genuine emotional bonds.
  • The search for perfection: The figure repeatedly questions what “perfect” truly means, while White Bone Fairy challenges his simplistic solution.
  • Cultivation and irreversible consequences: Ye Si’s concern about sealing Shuhang’s Spirit Ghost Contract introduces tension over whether their recent advancement may have caused hidden damage.

Character Interactions

  • Illusory figure and White Bone Fairy: Their exchange shifts from playful argument to sincere emotional farewell, reflecting their friendship forged through combat.
  • White Bone Fairy and Ba Song: Though Ba Song remains silent, White Bone Fairy begins psychologically repositioning him as her future “father.”
  • White Bone Fairy and the Eternal Life experts: Her whispered “Dad” is overheard and misunderstood, creating comic confusion.
  • Illusory figure and Ye Si: Ye Si expresses gratitude and concern, while his laughter suggests that her actions may have produced an unexpected or problematic result.

Ch. 28622862. Melon-Eating Senior, I'm Here to Take Over the Ninth-Grade Heavenly Tribulation!

Song Shuhang completed the Three Corpses Severance ritual and broke through to the Ninth-Grade Tribulation Immortal Realm. With the final pieces needed to avoid the tribulation in hand, he entered the Ninth-Grade Heavenly Tribulation space to take it over.

  • Fairy Spirit Ghost handed the ritual over to Song Shuhang's Self Corpse, Ba Ti, who appeared before his main body.
  • Creation Fairy spoke for Song Shuhang's unresponsive shell as Ba Ti declared that the Three Corpses had returned to their positions.

Ch. 2863You Don't Even Qualify to Make Me Use the Hezhi Pillar!

Key events

  • Song Shuhang and Senior White’s half-body-and-clone combination have spent over three months enduring the Melon-Eating Sage’s Ninth-Grade Heavenly Tribulation, now divided between two spaces. The tribulation grows stronger each day, and the Melon-Eating Sage struggles to survive, sometimes burning lifespan.
  • Song Shuhang’s main body forcibly enters the same tribulation space. Having advanced from Sixth Rank to Ninth Grade in the intervening months, he looks taller and carries a more mature bearing.
  • His tribulation clone merges back into him, transferring its memories and experience. Song Shuhang greets Senior White and declares that they will finish the remaining Tribulation of Thousand Days together, preferably before New Year.
  • The Heavenly Tribulation responds to Song Shuhang’s arrival with a massive attack: nearly a thousand bolts of Nine Heavens Divine Thunder, compressed into arrows aimed at him. Song Shuhang remains unfazed and prepares to summon the Kun King Pillar, judging that he does not need the Hezhi Pillar.

Character developments and interactions

  • The Melon-Eating Sage’s kindness and concern show as he feels guilty that Song Shuhang and Senior White were caught up in his tribulation. He watches over them and hopes they can endure, since their share of the burden reduces the power directed at him.
  • Song Shuhang’s rapid advancement has transformed his confidence: an attack capable of killing a Tribulation Immortal no longer intimidates him. He reunites with his clone and acknowledges the effort of Senior White, whose reply downplays his own hardship.
  • Song Shuhang reassures the Melon-Eating Sage that he has arrived to take on the tribulation, while the Sage warns him to be careful.

Significant themes

  • Growth and changing perspective: Song Shuhang’s rise in cultivation has altered how he experiences dangers that once seemed overwhelming.
  • Shared burdens and compassion: The divided tribulation both spreads the danger and eases the Melon-Eating Sage’s load; the Sage’s guilt and encouragement emphasize mutual concern.
  • Humor amid danger: Song Shuhang’s casual remarks and dramatic pose contrast comically with the catastrophic thunder attack approaching him.

Ch. 2864Charismatic Heavenly Tribulation, Discounted Online

Chapter Summary: “Charm, Heavenly Tribulation, On Sale”

Key plot points and events

  • Song Shuhang reveals that he is actually interested in eating the stored Heavenly Tribulation energy, treating the attack as a rare delicacy.

  • His goal is to shorten the traditionally thousand-day tribulation into a ten-day tribulation, allowing him and White Senior to leave in time for the New Year.

Character developments

  • Song Shuhang’s mastery has expanded beyond combat: he can coordinate multiple pillars, manifest his Three Corpses, and actively manipulate the structure of the tribulation.

Significant themes

  • Song Shuhang reassures Eat Melon Saint that the attacks cannot harm him, then proves it by summoning his many pillars.
  • Eat Melon Saint reacts with disbelief to Song Shuhang’s artifacts, realm, and Three-Corpses manifestation.

Ch. 2865Our attack: mandatory 60% discount

Chapter Summary: “My Side’s Attack: Forced 40% Discount”

Key Plot Points and Events

  • Song Shuhang reveals a Golden Lotus of Merit, astonishing Eat Melon Senior, who senses its immense Merit Power and the deep sorrow embedded within it.
  • Song activates the lotus using the Forgotten Divine Skill. Its power spreads over Song Shuhang and White Senior, while a smaller portion reaches Eat Melon Senior.
  • The lotus transforms into a Lotus of Merit Imprint, which continuously reduces the duration of the 9th Rank Heavenly Tribulation. Its repeated “-1” reductions may significantly shorten the otherwise deadly Thousand-Day Tribulation.
  • Eat Melon Senior realizes that this is an exceptionally rare and valuable treasure for anyone undergoing tribulation. He becomes deeply grateful to Song and vows to repay him if he survives.
  • The Heavenly Tribulation launches powerful Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Arrows. Song Shuhang withstands them using the formidable Ba Shen Pillars.
  • The pillars manifest increasingly powerful entities, including the Kun King, a Demon Emperor, an illusory sun, the Heavenly Emperor, a Nine Nether Ruler-like version of Ba Song, and the combined force of Dragon Network Lady and Daoist Long-eyed Planet.
  • Eat Melon Senior is stunned by the number and overwhelming strength of Song’s treasures, wondering what Song experienced during the previous three months.
  • Song reveals another trump card: the Heavenly Tribulation Graduation Certificate, which deals 40% reduced damage from lightning-based tribulation attacks and forcibly reduces the total 9th Rank Heavenly Tribulation by 20%.
  • The certificate immediately removes 200 days from the Thousand-Day Tribulation.

Character Developments

  • Song Shuhang demonstrates extreme preparation and confidence. Rather than merely enduring the tribulation, he uses a collection of specialized treasures to weaken and shorten it.
  • He also shows generosity and loyalty by sharing the Golden Lotus of Merit’s effects with Eat Melon Senior, despite the treasure’s rarity.
  • Eat Melon Senior grows increasingly impressed by Song and recognizes the enormous value of his assistance. His confidence in surviving the tribulation rises, and he becomes determined to repay Song.
  • White Senior remains an important partner in Song’s tribulation strategy, benefiting from the Merit Lotus and standing alongside Song as they face the Heavenly Tribulation.
  • Song’s various pillar manifestations emphasize the extraordinary scale of his power and the unusual allies or artifacts he has accumulated.

Significant Themes

  • Merit, sacrifice, and sorrow: The Golden Lotus embodies a great act of kindness performed under tragic circumstances, suggesting that profound merit is tied not only to goodness but also to suffering and sacrifice.
  • Generosity and reciprocal bonds: Song shares a rare treasure with Eat Melon Senior, strengthening their alliance and creating an obligation of gratitude.
  • Power through accumulation: Small, repeated reductions to the tribulation become highly meaningful over time, showing how persistence and incremental advantages can defeat seemingly impossible challenges.

Ch. 2866Continue, Shuhang—Got it, Senior White!

  • Key events: A “Heavenly Thunder Graduation Certificate” appears on both Song Shuhang and Senior White, reducing the duration of their Ninth-Grade Heavenly Tribulation by 20% (200 days). Melon-Eating Sage is startled that both of them can weaken the tribulation, while he receives no benefit. Song and Senior White then use research data from Boss Fat Ball to compress another 300 days of tribulation into greater intensity. The thunder grows far stronger, but Song is satisfied with the calculation. At Senior White’s prompt, they bring out their Realm Lord powers—Song’s Overlord World seal and Senior White’s Dream Realm World Tree—to continue reducing or manipulating the tribulation.
  • Character developments: Song Shuhang shows confidence and ingenuity, stacking several unusual powers and technical knowledge to shorten the trial rather than simply endure it. Senior White acts as his composed collaborator, encouraging him to keep going. Melon-Eating Sage shifts from hoping to share the ordeal with Senior White to feeling like the odd one out; he briefly considers learning their thunder-weakening method, then rejects it when told it may require enduring Heavenly Punishment and even eating tribulation.
  • Significant themes: The chapter plays with the idea that hardship can become an advantage through experience and adaptation. It also contrasts ordinary cultivation expectations with Song and Senior White’s extreme methods: shortening a trial can intensify its danger, and even that increased threat does not deter them. Humor comes from Melon-Eating Sage’s bewilderment and his growing awareness that the other two are far from normal.
  • Character interactions: Melon-Eating Sage asks how to acquire the thunder-reducing Law; Song and Senior White give him absurdly daunting explanations. Song then asks Senior White for a New Year’s gift, and Senior White agrees. Their easy, trusting teamwork continues as Senior White directs Song’s next steps, while Melon-Eating Sage watches in mounting disbelief.

Ch. 2867Good Morning, Shuhang

Plot points and events

  • Song Shuhang and Sage White use World Lord Authority to weaken their Ninth-Grade Heavenly Tribulations—an extraordinarily rare feat, and the first time Melon-Eating Sage has seen the authority used this way.
  • Their combined tactics have already reduced the tribulations dramatically. World Lord Authority cuts each Thousand-Day Tribulation down to roughly eighty days, leaving Melon-Eating Sage to watch in astonishment as much of his own tribulation’s pressure is diverted toward them.
  • Shuhang proposes using Fairy Spirit Ghost’s enhanced Forgetting Divine Technique to reduce his remaining time further, possibly to about eight days.
  • Before Shuhang tries this, Sage White says he has another method. He leaves the tribulation space to summon his Main Body, then reunites it with his clone. The assembled Sage White wakes as if from a nap and greets Shuhang: “Good morning.”

Character development and interactions

  • Song Shuhang remains resourceful and ambitious, eager to stack every possible advantage against the tribulation.
  • Sage White is calm and casually confident, revealing yet another unexplained capability. His clone and Main Body reunite without difficulty.
  • Melon-Eating Sage becomes an increasingly bewildered spectator. His tribulation is eased by the energy diverted to Shuhang and White, leaving him with little to do but marvel at their methods.
  • Shuhang and White coordinate easily, discussing how to shorten their tribulations; their familiar “Good morning” exchange closes the chapter.

Significant themes

  • The chapter turns the normally overwhelming Heavenly Tribulation into something the protagonists can repeatedly manipulate or “discount,” blending high-stakes cultivation with comedy.
  • It highlights the contrast between their extraordinary power and Melon-Eating Sage’s helpless, audience-like role.
  • Their World Lord Authority also points toward renewal: Shuhang’s Overlord World is damaged but already holds the promise of new life.

Ch. 2868Bad, Close Your Eyes!

Plot points and events

  • Senior White explains that, while cultivating in the Dream Realm, he encountered Laws through dreams. He had not accidentally fallen asleep because of Song Shuhang’s influence.
  • Senior White asks to borrow Song Shuhang’s two sets of Thirty-Three Beasts Composite Dharma Artifacts. Song Shuhang releases all 66 of his artifacts, each now bearing an Artifact Spirit—and each apparently stronger than Ninth Grade.
  • The Melon-Eating Sage is overwhelmed by the spectacle. Song Shuhang’s artifacts produce synchronized heartbeat-like ripples, while Senior White’s Meteor Sword reveals its own chibi Artifact Spirit and transforms into a third, even more powerful set of composite artifacts.
  • With Song Shuhang’s permission, Senior White combines all three sets into a Divine Bridge. It appears to span space, the Other Shore, and time, connecting events involving Heavenly Dao White’s past and Song Shuhang’s present.
  • Senior White directs the bridge toward the Heavenly Tribulation. It releases an aura of Immortality. Song Shuhang recognizes it, while the Melon-Eating Sage shuts his eyes in alarm.

Character developments and interactions

  • Song Shuhang is relieved that Senior White’s cultivation habits have not been affected by him, and readily lends his artifacts. Their easy cooperation shows strong trust and familiarity.
  • Senior White demonstrates a new understanding of Laws and skillfully combines the three artifact sets into a bridge carrying an Immortality-related aura.
  • The Melon-Eating Sage grows increasingly astonished by the pair’s capabilities. His goodwill toward them once again places him in the middle of a dangerous situation; he instinctively closes his eyes when he senses Immortality.

Significant themes

  • Trust and cooperation: Song Shuhang gives Senior White control of his treasured artifacts without hesitation.
  • Escalating cultivation power: Song Shuhang’s artifact collection exceeds conventional limits, while Senior White’s set surpasses even that.
  • The unsettling power of Immortality: Even an experienced ancient cultivator reacts with fear to its presence.
  • Past, present, and future linked: The Divine Bridge embodies the chapter’s time-spanning connection between Heavenly Dao White’s actions and Song Shuhang’s later history.

Ch. 2869Is This Pose Hiding Some Special Information?

Key plot points and events

  • Melon-Eating Sage has grown so trusting of Sage White and Tyrant Song that he believes their claim that White has recreated Immortality Information. He initially shuts his eyes, afraid the information will overwhelm him.
  • Senior White explains that the “Immortality Information” is only a crude simulation, reconstructed from an imprint of Heavenly Dao White. It can still affect and shorten the Heavenly Tribulation, and may offer cultivators insight.
  • Encouraged by White and Song, Melon-Eating Sage studies the imitation. Though it strains his eyes, he keeps looking after Song urges him not to waste the rare opportunity.
  • Song Shuhang absorbs the information into his Pseudo-Immortality Mode, filling in its gaps. He senses that the mode is nearing a limit and could soon transform.
  • The copied Heavenly Dao White performs an unusual pose: White Crane Spreads Its Wings while standing on one leg. The pose dramatically suppresses the Ninth-Grade Heavenly Tribulations.
  • Song’s remaining tribulation time drops from eighty days to eight; White’s falls to less than a day, while Melon-Eating Sage’s is reduced by about sixty days.
  • White tells Song to reduce his own remaining tribulation to one day so they can finish the Tribulation of Thousand Days together and return. Song agrees and summons Fairy Spirit Ghost from his chest.

Character developments and interactions

  • Melon-Eating Sage moves from cautious awe to actively studying the simulated information. His admiration for the two powerful cultivators remains strong, and he wonders whether White’s pose carries hidden meaning.
  • Song Shuhang shows familiarity with the danger of Immortality Information, joking that eye damage can be repaired. He continues absorbing the information and appears close to a breakthrough in his Pseudo-Immortality Mode.
  • Senior White clarifies the limits of his reconstruction, gives Melon-Eating Sage a chance to learn from it, and guides Song toward completing the tribulation quickly.
  • The exchange between Song and Melon-Eating Sage highlights the gap between Song’s extraordinary experience and Melon-Eating Sage’s still-practical concern for his eyes.

Significant themes

  • Trust and mentorship: Melon-Eating Sage’s confidence in White and Song lets him benefit from an opportunity he might otherwise avoid.
  • Knowledge as both risk and reward: Even an imperfect copy of Immortality Information can be dangerous, but it also offers rare insight and may catalyze transformation.
  • Improvisation and mutual benefit: White’s experimental use of the Divine Bridge advances Song’s cultivation while shortening the tribulations of those nearby.
  • Humor amid danger: Song’s casual treatment of exploding eyeballs contrasts with the genuinely perilous information and the immense power on display.

Ch. 2870Uncle Tribulation's Final Stubbornness

Key plot points and events

  • Song, his Hegemonic Body (Self Corpse), and Fairy Spirit Ghost synchronize the Forgetting Divine Technique. Their cooperation compresses Song’s and Senior White’s Tribulations of Thousand Days into their final twenty-four hours.
  • The Final Tribulation manifests an overwhelming mix of past, present, and future forms: ancient cultivator weapons and fighters, modern military weapons, and imagined futuristic weapons. These forms resonate together, amplifying the tribulation’s power.
  • The past-form tribulation attacks—but inexplicably bombards a distant empty area instead of Song and Senior White, leaving them unharmed. Melon-Eating Sage watches in disbelief.

Character developments and interactions

  • Song Shuhang remains adaptable despite his confusion, and resolves to face the Final Tribulation as if confronting a Longevity Immortal.
  • Fairy Spirit Ghost proves both resourceful and cooperative, helping trigger the final stage of the tribulations.
  • Senior White supports Song and prepares for the ordeal with calm confidence.
  • Melon-Eating Sage shifts from alarm at the tribulation’s overwhelming strength to bewilderment when it misses its targets; his faith in Song and Senior White persists despite the apparent odds.

Significant themes

  • Escalation and endurance: The tribulations have been compressed into a single, exceptionally dangerous final day.
  • Past, present, and future: The Final Tribulation combines all three eras, suggesting the full reach of its power.
  • Absurdity amid danger: Fairy Spirit Ghost’s improvised slide and the tribulation’s inexplicable misfire undercut the otherwise apocalyptic tension.

Ch. 2871Giddyup~

Plot points and events

  • Song Shuhang explains that his Fairy Spirit Ghost and Self Corpse, using a secret technique alongside the Forgetting Divine Technique, can stop the Heavenly Tribulation from locking onto him. He admits he has forgotten how the technique works.
  • The effect targets only the tribulation, not nearby people. The Ninth-Grade Final Tribulation appears to be striking empty ground, but Song Shuhang warns that its limited “Tribulation World” can still be hit by a full-screen attack.
  • Senior White prepares for the coming assault, while the tribulation continues bombarding the area. Song Shuhang identifies an approaching area attack: twenty-four Five-Colored Divine Pearls, each carrying immense power.
  • Song Shuhang prepares to summon a bone shield, but @#%×Fairy acts first. She casts a vast Ancient Heavenly Court Phantom to protect Song Shuhang and Senior White, then charges the tribulation herself.
  • Merit Snake Beauty rides Merit Fat Whale and wields the Virtuous Corpse—transformed into the Tyrant Benevolence Monk Spear—as she attacks the descending pearls with a forty-meter blade of merit light.

Character developments and interactions

  • Song Shuhang remains alert and practical: he understands that the tribulation’s attacks are still dangerous despite its difficulty targeting him. His forgotten lineage technique is played for humor.
  • Senior White calmly assesses the danger, explains how the attack’s most destructive point may be diverted, and prepares disposable flying swords.
  • Melon-Eating Sage is astonished by the apparent trickery of the Heavenly Tribulation and wonders whether the Forgetting Divine Technique lineage might accept his juniors.
  • @#%×Fairy reveals her bold, proactive fighting style, protecting the group and meeting the attack head-on. Merit Snake Beauty, Merit Fat Whale, and Virtuous Corpse coordinate as her mount and weapon.
  • The Q-version Meteor Sword spirit voices concern for Song Shuhang, prompting him to explain the limits of the tribulation-avoidance effect.

Significant themes

  • Cleverness against overwhelming power: Song Shuhang’s unusual technique disrupts the tribulation’s targeting, but cannot make the group immune to every attack.
  • Teamwork and protection: Senior White prepares support, while @#%×Fairy and Song Shuhang’s merit-based companions combine their abilities to defend and counterattack.
  • Comic absurdity amid danger: Song Shuhang’s inability to remember his lineage’s secret technique contrasts with the immense threat of the Final Tribulation.

Ch. 2872This is the last one, so let's just smash it

Plot points

  • Song Shuhang warns the Merit Snake Beauty not to damage the twenty-four heavenly tribulation beads, which he hopes to keep as food.
  • The Merit Snake Beauty charges through the beads’ combined attack, scatters them without harming them, and stores them inside the Kun King Pillar. She then turns toward the humanoid tribulations.
  • Senior White decides to face the final tribulation directly. Song Shuhang summons his clone, corpses, and seven God Tyrant Pillars to support the Merit Snake Beauty.
  • Senior White uses Disposable Flying Swords to split the tribulation space into separate past, present, and future battlefields. He takes Song Shuhang into the present one.
  • Senior White detonates the modernized tribulations all at once. Song Shuhang endures the explosions with four body-tempering techniques, but the blasts disrupt his divine sense and apparently separate him from Senior White.
  • Song Shuhang then switches to pseudo-immortality mode. The chapter ends as the tribulation’s power floods into and swells his transformed body.

Character developments and interactions

  • The Merit Snake Beauty is fearless, partly because she can revive endlessly while Song Shuhang survives. Her exuberant fighting style is also influenced by the Tyrant Benevolence Monk Spear’s “Derpy Husky” tendencies.
  • Song Shuhang shows his familiar confidence in fighting tribulations through teamwork—and a comic appetite for preserving their power as “cuisine.” He remains resourceful, switching defensive strategies when the explosions overwhelm him.
  • Senior White takes charge, demonstrating extraordinary spatial control by dividing a ninth-grade tribulation realm despite being only eighth grade. He pushes Song Shuhang to use the tribulation as a chance for tempering.
  • Melon-Eating Sage watches in bewilderment, unable to understand why Song Shuhang and Senior White deliberately enter the bombardment.

Significant themes

  • Teamwork against overwhelming odds: Song Shuhang responds to the tribulation’s numbers by assembling allies rather than confronting it alone.
  • Turning danger into growth: The final tribulation is treated not just as a threat but as an opportunity to strengthen Song Shuhang.
  • Comic practicality amid epic combat: Song Shuhang’s concern for the beads’ quality and their storage contrasts humorously with the enormous battle unfolding.

Ch. 2873Using Their Own Methods Against Them

Chapter Summary: “Using Their Own Methods Against Them”

Key plot points

  • The Modernized Heavenly Tribulation pours its power into Song Shuhang’s False Immortal Body. Though the influx causes discomfort, his upgraded Pseudo-Immortality Mode prevents it from becoming fatal.
  • Senior White is temporarily unseen, but his Primordial Spirit Projection arm remains connected to Song Shuhang. Using that link, he combines his own expertise with Shuhang’s extensive experience of tribulations to analyze the invading power.
  • Their analysis advances rapidly and exposes part of the Heavenly Tribulation Law, a transcendent rule normally beyond cultivators’ reach. The revelation pains Shuhang’s brain, much like his earlier contact with the Profound Sage Lecture Law, but Senior White urges him to endure.
  • Meanwhile, the Past-Form Tribulation nears its end. Shuhang’s Merit Snake Beauty, clones, Three Corpses, and God Tyrant Pillars fight its powerful humanoid tribulations.
  • Rather than match the opponents’ elaborate techniques, Shuhang’s side relies on increasingly powerful Palm Thunders. The attacks eventually seem to carry the aura of Heavenly Tribulation itself—turning the tribulation’s own power against it.

Character developments and interactions

  • Senior White demonstrates his exceptional analytical skill and confidence, working with Shuhang to penetrate the Heavenly Tribulation Law. He remains focused despite Shuhang’s increasingly extravagant praise.
  • Song Shuhang shows both resilience and remarkable expertise: his repeated encounters with “Uncle Tribulation” have made him unusually knowledgeable about tribulations. Even while suffering severe mental strain, he jokes and tries to praise Senior White.
  • Senior White gently tells Shuhang to hold on and reminds him that he is in the middle of a tribulation. Chibi Meteor White also offers to sing, adding humor to Shuhang’s disoriented state.
  • Shuhang’s clones and Three Corpses compensate for their limited techniques with teamwork and sheer force, while the God Tyrant Pillars and Merit Snake Beauty contribute their own abilities.

Significant themes

  • Turning an enemy’s power against it: Shuhang’s team uses Palm Thunder against the tribulation, and the attacks begin to take on tribulation energy themselves.
  • Knowledge as power: Shuhang’s accumulated experience and Senior White’s expertise combine to make an otherwise impossible analysis possible.
  • Endurance through adversity: Shuhang withstands both the physical effects of the tribulation and the mental strain of confronting a transcendent law.
  • Humor amid danger: Shuhang’s praise, Senior White’s dry replies, and the offer to sing contrast with the serious, painful analysis and battle.

Ch. 2874Senior White, Can You Perform a Caesarean Section?

Key plot points

  • Song Shuhang’s Heavenly Thunder Graduation Certificate, combined with Senior White’s analysis of the Heavenly Tribulation Law, lets his clones and three corpses imbue their thunder arts with a trace of tribulation power. This blunts the Humanoid Heavenly Tribulation’s usual advantage over cultivators while making Song’s attacks more effective.
  • With the pressure reduced, Song’s allies defeat two powerful humanoid tribulations and capture a tiger-shaped one for the Kun King Pillar to preserve. Together, they clear the “past-form” tribulation.
  • The “present-form” tribulation is also nearing its end. Senior White stops the analysis because Song Shuhang is exhausted and risks overloading his mind. Song protests that this is his last official Ninth-Grade tribulation and his final chance to study its laws.
  • Senior White reassures him that they can later enter someone else’s Ninth-Grade tribulation using a group-tribulation setup and his special flying sword. Song is willing, but realizes his enemies are either far too weak or vastly more powerful than the needed candidate.
  • Senior White condenses the law they have analyzed into a single strand. Its resonance stirs the powers tied to Song’s path toward immortality—and unexpectedly awakens the unborn daughter in his abdomen, who seems ready to arrive early. Song’s panicked response is to ask whether Senior White can perform a Caesarean section.

Character developments and interactions

  • Song Shuhang shows his characteristic determination: even while mentally exhausted, he wants to seize what he sees as a rare, possibly final opportunity. His ambition is tempered by Senior White’s caution.
  • Senior White acts as both mentor and practical strategist, stopping the dangerous analysis and proposing a workaround. His calm suggestion that they can simply borrow someone else’s tribulation contrasts with Song’s sudden alarm over the baby.
  • Song’s clones, corpses, Merit Snake Beauty, and the God Tyrant Pillar work effectively as a coordinated team, turning the altered thunder arts into a decisive advantage.

Significant themes

  • Resourcefulness and collaboration: Song and Senior White find ways around the apparent limits of a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
  • Power and risk: Progress through Heavenly Dao laws offers great potential but can strain both body and mind.
  • Comic escalation: A cosmic breakthrough leads not to a grand revelation but to Song’s very practical—and absurd—question about emergency childbirth.

Ch. 2875Tyrant Song, the ruthless one

Chapter 2866 Summary

Key Plot Points and Events

  • Song Shuhang’s tribulation is complicated by the child developing inside his Life-Bound Spirit Lake and “Mechanical Core Reactor.” Because the child is not growing through a normal pregnancy, ordinary childbirth methods are impossible.
  • Senior White and Chibi Meteor White discuss possible solutions, including a cesarean section, natural birth, separating the child through Pseudo-Immortality Smoke Mode, or using the Meteor Sword to extract her.
  • Song Shuhang explains that none of these options is straightforward: he cannot give birth naturally, the child would become smoke with him, and she cannot simply be removed from his Golden Core.
  • Song Shuhang admits that he may not survive until the end of the tribulation. His physical condition resembles the final stage of his Powerhouse Appraisal Technique experience, and his abdomen has begun visibly swelling.
  • Chibi Meteor White proposes modifying the Meteor Sword with cruel barbs that could hook the child out. Song Shuhang rejects this because the newborn would be too fragile—and because he does not want to be stabbed with a barbed sword.
  • Instead, Song Shuhang prepares to use the Meteor Sword in a controlled manner, aiming it at his abdomen so that it can enter his Life-Bound Dantian and contact the Mechanical Core Reactor directly.
  • His concentration causes the Heavenly Tribulation Law and the immortal object within him to resonate. This disturbance also activates the Profound Sage Lecture rules connected to the Cultivation Chat Client.
  • Cultivators throughout the Myriad Heavens and Realms are drawn into a livestream and witness Song Shuhang holding the Meteor Sword against his abdomen, concluding that Tyrant Song is performing a self-inflicted “cesarean section.”

Character Developments

  • Song Shuhang remains determined and pragmatic despite his absurd and dangerous situation. He accepts extreme measures to protect his child and survive the tribulation, reinforcing his reputation for being ruthless toward himself.
  • His frustration with never experiencing a normal Heavenly Tribulation deepens. Even at the ninth-grade Final Tribulation, his tribulations continue to mutate and produce bizarre complications.
  • Senior White continues trying to help through increasingly unconventional suggestions, showing concern while maintaining his characteristic calm and eccentric problem-solving style.
  • Chibi Meteor White displays innocent enthusiasm and loyalty. Its barbed-sword idea is horrifyingly inappropriate but genuinely intended to help Song Shuhang.
  • @#%×Fairy is briefly consulted, but her delivery method is limited to Song Shuhang’s Fat Whale Golden Core and cannot help with his physical body.

Significant Themes

  • Self-sacrifice and paternal responsibility: Song Shuhang is willing to endure tremendous pain and danger to save or deliver his unborn daughter.
  • The absurdity of cultivation: A high-level tribulation becomes entangled with pregnancy and childbirth, creating a bizarre yet internally consistent crisis.
  • Ruthlessness toward oneself: The chapter emphasizes Song Shuhang’s willingness to perform extreme acts on his own body, inspiring the title and the wider cultivation world’s admiration.
  • Reality smoothing individuality: The description of Song Shuhang’s abs being rounded by pregnancy humorously reflects the idea that life and reality wear down even the most rigid forms.
  • Public mythmaking: Because the event is broadcast across the realms, Song Shuhang’s outrageous actions further cement his legendary image as “Tyrant Song.”

Character Interactions

  • Song Shuhang and Senior White debate possible childbirth methods, with Senior White repeatedly offering increasingly impractical solutions.
  • Chibi Meteor White eagerly volunteers the Meteor Sword and demonstrates its newly added barbs, while Song Shuhang politely but firmly refuses the dangerous proposal.
  • Song Shuhang’s interaction with @#%×Fairy clarifies that her method cannot extract the child from his actual body.
  • The wider cultivation community becomes an involuntary audience, interpreting Song Shuhang’s preparations as proof of his merciless nature and witnessing the latest extraordinary episode of his tribulation.

Ch. 2876Tyrant Song Teaches You How to Condense Immortality, Step by Step

Summary

Key events and plot points

  • Cultivators across the Myriad Heavens and Realms mourn the end of Tyrant Song’s monthly Profound Sage Lectures, but his latest livestream suggests he can create new ways to benefit them.
  • Viewers speculate that Song Shuhang may be testing or improving his notorious Powerhouse Appraisal Technique. Great figures in the Tyrant Song Research Chat Group instead notice that he carries information beyond Longevity-level—possibly Immortality Information.
  • When a group member complains that the livestream view is unclear, the image abruptly sharpens and rotates to show Song from every angle. Fairy Hecheng suggests that Song’s control of the Netherworld Ruler Authority has led him to pursue Heavenly Dao authority without becoming the Heavenly Dao.
  • Song Shuhang thrusts the Meteor Sword into his abdomen, aiming at the Mechanical Core Reactor. The contact produces a sustained “Voice of the Great Dao,” as the sword, reactor, and Song’s own Laws collide. Cultivators listening across the realms gain a rare opportunity for enlightenment.
  • Inside Song, numerous forms of Immortality-related information converge on the reactor. The Dragon Rune Rebirth mark activates, triggering a chain of connections involving Skylark, her Immortal Bone, Song’s Primordial Spirit, and the Confucian Sage’s Eye. The Immortal Bone’s power ultimately helps direct all the information into the reactor.
  • Song realizes that the daughter who was about to be born prematurely is no longer being born: she appears to be undergoing refinement like a magical artifact.

Character developments and interactions

  • Song demonstrates that he can create his own platform for sharing insights, even without the Profound Sage Lecture event. His actions also reveal his unusual access to Immortality Information and possible ambitions regarding Heavenly Dao authority.
  • The cultivators react with a mixture of awe, fear, and speculation. The ordinary viewers search for an explanation, while the Longevity-level figures analyze the deeper significance and expand their discussion group.
  • Song’s immediate concern shifts from the mysterious ritual to his unborn daughter’s fate, showing his alarm when the process appears to turn her birth into refinement.

Significant themes

  • Knowledge and enlightenment: Even a single sound produced by the collision of Laws can become a source of profound insight.
  • Immortality and authority: Song’s connection to Immortality Information raises the possibility of seeking Heavenly Dao power without following the usual path.
  • The gap between appearances and understanding: Viewers interpret the same action differently, from a strange self-stabbing to a convergence of cosmic forces.
  • Creation versus refinement: The chapter ends on an unsettling question: will Song’s daughter be born, or transformed into something crafted?

Ch. 2877Don't Become a Slave to Death

Chapter Summary: “Don’t Become a Slave to Death”

Key Plot Points and Events

  • Song Shuhang refuses to allow the Golden-Haired Mechanical Girl inside the Mechanical Core Reactor to be refined into a magical artifact.
  • Her life has already been filled with suffering: she was experimented on, transformed into a half-human, half-mechanical being, implanted with the reactor, “killed” by Song Shuhang during a Heavenly Tribulation, and later caught up in Boss Fat Ball’s backup activation incident.
  • Through Song Shuhang’s Pregnancy Gaze, Embryo Gaze, and an accident, she entered his body as the embryonic form of his daughter. Song Shuhang has been determined to give her a peaceful, independent new life.
  • However, as her birth approaches, the reactor begins refining her. This threatens to turn her into Song Shuhang’s bound magical artifact and destroy her chance at independence.
  • With Chibi Meteor White’s help, Song Shuhang forcibly halts the refinement process. The Immortality Information and Immortal Bone within him resist, causing an agonizing backlash.
  • Song Shuhang endures more than ten minutes of intense pain while cultivators across the Myriad Heavens and Realms misunderstand the situation, assuming he is suffering from his modified Powerhouse Appraisal Technique or forcibly fusing Immortality Laws.
  • Once he recovers, Song Shuhang touches the reactor with the Meteor Sword again and transmits his thoughts and memories to the girl.
  • He encourages her not to fear being born or remain trapped by her past suffering. To inspire her, he shows her memories of his own repeated deaths, resurrections, bodily destruction, and survival.
  • His experiences resonate with the Immortality Information and the power of the Immortal Bone, causing them to circulate around the reactor in a mysterious pattern.

Character Developments

  • Song Shuhang demonstrates strong parental affection and responsibility. Although he dislikes the idea of pregnancy and childbirth, he has endured them to protect his daughter and preserve her freedom.
  • He also shows his characteristic recklessness and resilience by forcibly opposing the refinement process and enduring overwhelming pain without giving up.
  • Song Shuhang takes on the role of a mentor, trying to teach the girl that death should not control her choices.
  • Golden-Haired Mechanical Girl is revealed to be traumatized by her past and frightened of being reborn. Her unconscious cooperation with the refinement suggests that she may fear life itself more than death.
  • Chibi Meteor White supports Song Shuhang but points out that the girl must ultimately overcome her fear through her own will.
  • The wider cultivation community continues to misunderstand Song Shuhang’s actions, reinforcing his reputation as an incomprehensibly powerful and bizarre figure.

Significant Themes

  • Freedom versus loss of identity: Being refined into a magical artifact would strip the girl of her independence, making Song Shuhang determined to protect her personhood.
  • Trauma and the fear of rebirth: The girl’s suffering has made her afraid of living again, showing how past abuse can make freedom and new beginnings frightening.
  • Death and courage: The chapter argues that death itself is not the true enemy; surrendering psychologically to fear of death is more dangerous.
  • Parental love and sacrifice: Song Shuhang’s willingness to endure immense pain reflects his commitment to giving his daughter a better future.
  • Learning from experience: Song Shuhang uses his own repeated deaths and resurrections to help the girl confront mortality and move beyond her past.
  • Immortality as transformation: The collision of Immortality Information, the Immortal Bone, and Song Shuhang’s memories suggests that his understanding of death may influence the girl’s rebirth and future existence.

Character Interactions

  • Song Shuhang asks Chibi Meteor White for assistance, and White agrees while emphasizing that the girl must cooperate as well.
  • Song Shuhang communicates with the girl through the Meteor Sword, sending her reassurance and memories rather than merely using force.
  • He presents himself as someone who has repeatedly faced death without submitting to it, encouraging her to embrace her new life.
  • The cultivators observing from across the realms speculate about Song Shuhang’s suffering, but their mistaken interpretations contrast with the deeply personal struggle taking place inside him.

Ch. 2878Thanks to Uncle Tribulation for the Assist

Chapter 2869 Summary

Key Plot Points and Events

  • Ba Song’s repeated deaths, combined with the World’s Dragon Rune Rebirth, finally unlock the mysteries of Song Shuhang’s Immortal Bone power.
  • The Immortal Bone power divides into two portions: one continues protecting the spinning Core Reactor, while the other circulates through Song Shuhang’s body along with the “immortal information.”
  • As Song Shuhang replays his many death experiences for his unborn daughter, random nodes form throughout his body. His daughter, the reborn Blonde Mechanical Girl, absorbs these experiences inside the Core Reactor.
  • Because her rebirth erased most of her memories, the daughter is essentially a newborn. However, through Song Shuhang’s demonstrations and their strong father-daughter connection, she overcomes her instinctive fear of life and death and develops a more optimistic outlook.
  • Two especially important death memories from her previous life are added to Song Shuhang’s collection: the time he killed her and the time her body dissipated during the Daoization following the Fat Ball’s actions.
  • Song Shuhang learns that the Immortal Bone and immortal information will require approximately three years to fully transform. Since he cannot remain in this state for that long, he asks for time acceleration.
  • White Senior and Song Shuhang’s allies enter the Future Style Heavenly Tribulation to trigger its final attacks. The tribulation unleashes enormous theoretical weapons, including spatial, dimensional, anti-matter, civilization-destroying, and star-annihilating attacks.
  • One attack unexpectedly creates a sealed region where both space and time are affected. Time accelerates dramatically inside it, giving Song Shuhang exactly the assistance he needs—even though it rapidly consumes his lifespan.

Character Developments

  • Song Shuhang demonstrates increased understanding of his Immortal Bone and Tribulation Immortal abilities. He also shows strong determination to help his daughter overcome her fear and regain a normal outlook on life.
  • The Blonde Mechanical Girl, now reborn without her former memories, begins developing a new personality. She becomes more hopeful after interpreting her father’s fearlessness toward death as evidence that she too can face existence without terror.
  • White Senior remains supportive and proactive, coordinating the assault on the Future Style Heavenly Tribulation and helping Song Shuhang find a way to accelerate the transformation.
  • Chibi Meteor White offers assistance but initially misunderstands Song Shuhang’s request for “acceleration,” humorously assuming he means physical acceleration rather than time acceleration.

Significant Themes

  • Death as transformation: Song Shuhang’s deaths are not merely tragedies; they serve as keys that unlock power and knowledge.
  • Rebirth and identity: The daughter’s rebirth raises questions about whether identity comes from memory, instinct, bloodline, or relationships.
  • Parental influence: Song Shuhang teaches his daughter through his own actions, unintentionally shaping her attitude toward life and death.
  • Time and sacrifice: Accelerating time may solve Song Shuhang’s problem, but it comes at the cost of his rapidly diminishing lifespan.
  • Fate and unexpected assistance: The Heavenly Tribulation, normally an enemy, provides precisely the power Song Shuhang needs at a critical moment.

Character Interactions

  • Song Shuhang communicates emotionally with his unborn daughter by replaying his death experiences, using their connection to ease her fear of existence.
  • He consults Chibi Meteor White about obtaining time acceleration.
  • White Senior assures Song Shuhang that he, the clone pendants, and Fairy @#%× can handle the Future Style Heavenly Tribulation without Song Shuhang’s direct help.
  • The chapter ends with Song Shuhang enthusiastically welcoming the tribulation’s time-accelerating attack, jokingly thanking the Heavenly Tribulation Lord for the timely “assist.”

Ch. 2879Senior, You're Dead

Plot points and events

  • The Heavenly Emperor’s Spacetime Concept beam accelerates time around its target while leaving their consciousness unable to keep up, trapping them in a helpless “fast-forward” through their lifespan. Song Shuhang is impressed and speculates that mastering time-related abilities might let him reproduce the attack.
  • While Song Shuhang experiences the accelerated time, a phantom figure recovers from a painful episode in a special space. He realizes that three years have passed and remembers that Song Shuhang’s unusual pregnancy is nearing its end.
  • The phantom figure gives Ye Si temporary access to Cheng Lin’s “Dao of Longevity of New Life Gestation,” sending her to help Song Shuhang safely reincarnate the child.
  • Ye Si opens a passage to Song Shuhang, but becomes angry at the phantom figure’s awkward reassurance that the child would count as Cheng Lin’s child—and therefore Ye Si’s younger sister, not her own. She mock-threatens him, then leaves.
  • After more than three years in the Heavenly Tribulation World, Song Shuhang’s Immortal Bone power and other Immortality Information finish transforming into a small sphere of light. As he prepares to cut the child out with the Meteor Sword, Ye Si suddenly appears inside his Heart Aperture.

Character developments and interactions

  • Song Shuhang remains remarkably composed through the accelerated passage of three years, comparing it lightly with Onion Lady’s much longer life. He is also curious about developing time-related powers, but is interrupted just as he prepares for the child’s birth.
  • Ye Si shows concern for the phantom figure’s recurring pain, then reacts with embarrassment and irritation when he assigns her a family role in the child’s reincarnation. Despite her discomfort, she acts and goes to help Song Shuhang.
  • The phantom figure is in pain but gradually adapts to it. He tries to reassure Ye Si and explain the child’s karmic connection, yet his tactless comments provoke her instead.
  • Song Shuhang and Ye Si have not yet interacted directly in this excerpt; her sudden arrival interrupts his preparations.

Significant themes

  • Time and mortality: The beam makes the passage of time perceptible but impossible to resist, while Song Shuhang’s own unusual resilience lets him endure years passing rapidly.
  • Immortality and transformation: Song Shuhang’s Immortality Information completes a significant transformation, marking progress toward a new stage.
  • Birth, reincarnation, and family: The child’s arrival is framed through a supernatural reincarnation technique and complicated questions of parentage and karmic responsibility.
  • Humor amid danger: The chapter balances a brutal time-based attack and a high-stakes birth with playful speculation, awkward reassurance, and Ye Si’s mock threat.

Ch. 28802880. Turning Back to Give Senior Copper Trigram a Beating!

Plot and key events

  • A braided literary fairy appears in Song Shuhang’s Heart Aperture. Their strong bloodline-like connection makes him comically suspect she is his daughter; she is irritated by his confused deductions and refuses to explain herself.
  • Recognizing the fairy’s lotus effects as Cheng Lin’s Dao of Longevity, Song Shuhang privately asks Cheng Lin who else can use it. Her evasive answers hint that Song Shuhang himself may be connected to the technique—and provoke Dog Egg’s Dad, who is apparently furious with him.
  • Song Shuhang concludes that the fairy may be another version of himself, and the connection between them deepens, partly overcoming the Heavenly Dao Little Black Room’s “severing the source” effect.
  • The fairy uses Cheng Lin’s New Life Gestation to restore the Golden-Haired Mechanical Girl, who is inside the Mechanical Core Reactor. The technique restores Shuhang’s lost lifespan and removes Boss Fat Ball’s residual power, preventing the girl from again risking disintegration into the Dao or attracting Heavenly Punishment.
  • Once the process is complete, the fairy passes Shuhang the girl’s reincarnated body, contained in a mechanical sphere, through a literal “window” in his Heart Aperture. She disappears before telling him how to open it.
  • The sphere begins transforming in response to Shuhang’s words. At the same time, the Dragon Rune Rebirth imprint and Shuhang’s Immortal Bone-related power start condensing into a light cluster. His Fat Whale Golden Core suddenly swallows it and settles back into the Spirit Lake, leaving Shuhang aghast.

Character developments and interactions

  • Song Shuhang remains bewildered by the fairy’s identity and their connection, but calmly manages his expectations about whether he might form a true or “pseudo” Immortal Bone. His affectionate, awkward “father” role toward the mechanical girl is played for comedy.
  • The literary maiden fairy is powerful, private, and territorial. She cooperates in restoring the girl, but avoids explaining her relationship to Shuhang and leaves him with the sealed sphere.
  • Fairy Cheng Lin teases and misdirects Shuhang, while providing clues about who can use her Dao of Longevity.
  • The Fat Whale Golden Core once again acts on its own, swallowing something important before Shuhang can stop it.

Significant themes

  • Identity and connection: Shuhang’s growing bond with the fairy blurs the boundary between them, despite the mysterious force trying to sever their origins.
  • Rebirth and protection: The Dao of Longevity reconstructs the mechanical girl and removes a dangerous remnant of Boss Fat Ball’s power.
  • Comic expectations versus reality: Shuhang’s “pregnancy” and “daughter” theories turn an extraordinary rebirth into absurd domestic comedy.
  • Unpredictability and consequences: The whale’s impulsive swallowing threatens to derail Shuhang’s progress once again.
