Ch. 3121A Seizure Secret Technique, Gifted to Dear Tyrant Song!
Plot points and events
- The narrator reflects that Tyrant Song has repeatedly shattered the rules of different realms and is now challenging the Heavenly Dao’s authority, ushering in what may become the “Tyrant Song Era.”
- In the darkness, Boss Pitch-Black Sun is repeatedly roused from a much-needed rest. He learns that the Heavenly Dao has retired, then receives a second alarm indicating that someone is about to prove the Dao and achieve Immortality.
- Despite his exhausted condition and the Present World’s rejection of him, Pitch-Black Sun forces himself to descend. He secretly infiltrates the Gem Domain, where the Longevity Immortals have gathered.
- He finds Tyrant Song and A-White apparently preparing to prove the Dao together. Unsure whom to target with his Seizure Secret Technique, he chooses Tyrant Song and activates it.
Character developments
- Tyrant Song is portrayed as an unprecedented rule-breaker whose actions may define a new era.
- Boss Pitch-Black Sun is sleep-deprived, irritable, and struggling against the lasting cost of his escape from the Heavenly Dao Seat. Even so, his ambition and determination push him to act.
- A-White remains a familiar, formidable “pitfall-maker,” someone Pitch-Black Sun would rather avoid targeting.
Significant themes
- Defiance of authority: Tyrant Song’s challenge to the Heavenly Dao suggests that even the highest cosmic rules may no longer restrain him.
- The cost of power: Pitch-Black Sun’s limited waking time and chronic exhaustion are consequences of his past escape.
- Ambition versus circumstance: Although weakened and confused, Pitch-Black Sun risks everything rather than miss a chance to seize power.
- Absurdity and disruption: The sudden retirement and near-immediate succession of the Heavenly Dao leave even an experienced mastermind bewildered.
Character interactions
- Pitch-Black Sun’s unseen “alarm” system repeatedly interrupts his rest, first announcing the Heavenly Dao’s retirement and then the imminent ascension of a successor.
- At the Gem Domain, he encounters Tyrant Song alongside A-White. Rather than confront A-White again, he directs his Seizure Secret Technique at Tyrant Song—setting the chapter’s cliffhanger.
