Cross-Realm Phone Call Harassing Wangshu

After being brushed off by Xi He and Chang Xi, Xiao Kuang was indeed quiet for two days. This was mainly because he discovered that the Bitter Bamboo he "borrowed" from the Western Regions had a good hardness and was particularly effective at scratching his back.

But after this novelty wore off, his restless heart, which craved some mischief, began to stir again. Especially the thought of "contacting Wangshu," which tickled his mind like a feather.

"Interstellar phone... intergalactic communication..." He slumped in his massage chair, staring at the chaotic ceiling, fragments of knowledge from modern society jumbled together in his mind. "This Primordial Era is great in every way, except communication is basically shouting and messaging is basically walking. It's too backward! It severely affects my efficiency in slacking off and development!"

He suddenly sat up (the massage chair bounced with him), his eyes shining. "That's right! As the Dao Ancestor, I have a responsibility to promote technological progress in the Primordial Era! Creating a 'Primordial Internet' or 'Heavenly Dao Mobile Communications' or something like that would be infinitely meritorious!"

No sooner said than done! He immediately mobilized his omnipotent (but often misused) Heavenly Dao Authority.

"First, we need a base station... ah no, we need a signal tower!" His divine sense swept across the Primordial Era, and he immediately set his sights on the sky-piercing Buzhou Mountain, formed from Pangu's spine!

"This height! This hardness! This geographical location! It's naturally suited to be a signal tower!" He completely disregarded the feelings of the Witch Race and Gong Gong, directly used his authority, and silently imprinted countless complex and twisted runes on the peak of Buzhou Mountain, a mixture of Heavenly Dao laws and his personal "signal enhancement" thoughts.

Buzhou Mountain trembled slightly, and a fleeting stream of light flashed across its surface, as if nothing had happened. However, mixed into its vast aura was an extremely faint fluctuation, similar to a "WiFi signal."

"Main tower done! Next, the terminal!" Xiao Kuang then set his sights on the seven strands of Primordial Violet Qi.

"Since this thing is the foundation of the Heavenly Dao, with ample energy and good conductivity, it's most suitable for use as a core processor and signal transmitter!" He happily trotted over to find Xi He and Chang Xi, who were carefully nurturing the Violet Qi beside a potted osmanthus tree.

"Miss Xi He, Miss Chang Xi, can we discuss something? Can I borrow your 'purple light tubes' for a moment? Just for a little while! For a scientific research project!" He grinned and reached out to take them.

Xi He and Chang Xi were terrified and desperately protected the Violet Qi. "Absolutely not! Dao Ancestor! This item must never be moved lightly!" They were almost in tears. Why was this scoundrel always coveting these crucial strands of Violet Qi!

Xiao Kuang pouted. "So stingy! I'll just borrow them for a bit, I won't break them! Forget it, forget it, I'll find another way!"

He settled for the next best thing and rummaged through the pile of "tributes," eventually finding the Taiji Talisman Seal (a replica?) gifted by Grand Pure One Laozi, the Glazed Lamp gifted by Primordial Lord of Heaven, a broken sword gifted by Sect Master Tongtian (possibly a fragment of the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation), and a tattered Meditation Cushion gifted by Jieyin and Zhunti... a series of Spiritual Treasures or materials with different elemental laws but extremely high quality.

"Hmm... using these as parts should be good enough!" He had no knowledge of artifact refining and relied entirely on his instincts and authority to force it.

"Heavenly Dao Authority! Forced Fusion! Circuit Connection! Signal Conversion! Synthesize for me—the Primordial version of the inter-realm communicator!"

Buzz!

Amidst a grating distortion of light and collision of laws, those unrelated Spiritual Treasures and materials were forcibly merged together, becoming a square, irregularly flashing object covered in bizarre runes and protruding buttons... a brick?

This "communicator" looked ugly, its energy fluctuations were extremely unstable, sometimes emitting the Immortal-Slaying sword intent, sometimes overflowing with glazed Buddhist light, and sometimes transforming into a spinning Taiji diagram, like a pile of elemental garbage.

[Heavenly Dao: Warning! Illegal artifact refining detected! Severe waste of resources! Extremely high risk of elemental pollution! Recommend immediate destruction!] The Heavenly Dao was going crazy. This prodigal son was messing around with good things again!

Xiao Kuang didn't care. He satisfiedly weighed the "brick" in his hand, feeling the good grip.

"Done! Now let's test it!" He excitedly began to operate it, following his own made-up "instructions," injecting his divine sense into it, and trying hard to recall Wangshu's aura (mainly referencing the Taiyin Origin of Xi He and Chang Xi), then forcefully pressing the largest button, crookedly labeled "Call"!

"Hello, hello? Is Miss Wangshu there? Please respond if you hear me! Over!"

Buzz--!!!

The "brick" communicator suddenly erupted with a blinding light, the chaotic laws within violently clashing. An extremely unstable, strange wave mixed with sword intent, Buddhist light, and Taiji energy, combined with Xiao Kuang's nonsensical divine thoughts, amplified and boosted by the Buzhou Mountain "signal tower," violently slammed into the Taiyin Star in an extremely crude manner!

At this moment, all the powerful beings in the Primordial Era vaguely felt a strange disturbance in the laws of heaven and earth, as if they had been interfered with by something peculiar.

Di Jun on the Sun Star stumbled. The Three Pure Ones on Kunlun Mountain frowned. Minghe in the Sea of Blood looked up. The duo of the Western Teachings fearfully hugged each other.

And in the deepest part of the Taiyin Star, within the ancient, desolate, ice-sealed stellar core.

A ethereal phantom, pure and transcendent, as if condensed from the purest moonlight, was immersed in a deep, emotionless slumber, repairing the damage from the creation of heaven and earth and maintaining the operation of the Great Dao of Taiyin.

Suddenly! An extremely abrupt, chaotic, noisy "signal," mixed with all sorts of extraneous elemental noise, like the sound of a broken gong, forcibly pierced through the heavy restrictions of the Taiyin stellar core and exploded directly in her tranquil sea of consciousness!

"Hello, hello? Is Miss Wangshu there? Please respond if you hear me! Over!"

The voice was flippant, lazy, and filled with an indescribable, punchable arrogance!

Wangshu's eternally calm state of mind was instantly shattered!

The phantom condensed from moonlight trembled violently, and the cold radiance around her fluctuated intensely, like a calm lake being struck by a boulder!

Who is it?! How dare they be so rude?! To directly probe the Taiyin stellar core? And to transmit a message in such... such an unbearable way?!

Emotions that had not surfaced for countless eons—shock, anger, and a trace of annoyance from being forcibly disturbed—arose in her heart.

She tried to trace the source of the transmission, only to find the signal chaotic and difficult to lock onto, wrapped in various strange laws. She could only vaguely sense a connection to the Heavenly Dao, with a trace of... the aura of her two disciples?

Just as she was attempting to investigate further, the "communicator," overloaded with energy and elemental conflict, let out a "puff," emitted a puff of smoke, and shattered into several pieces, completely ruined.

In the Purple Heaven Palace, Xiao Kuang looked at the smoking "brick" in his hand and sighed in disappointment. "Tsk, such poor quality! It broke after just one sentence! It must be the Meditation Cushion material from Jieyin and Zhunti! I'll have to use better next time!"

And in the depths of the Taiyin stellar core, the sudden nuisance signal had vanished, as if it had never appeared.

But Wangshu's state of mind could no longer return to its previous absolute tranquility.

She floated quietly in the moonlight, a hint of confusion and deep thought flashing in her cold eyes.

That voice just now... although rude, did it seem to have no ill intentions? And it could directly penetrate the Taiyin stellar core... its strength (or rather, its method) was unfathomable. And it was related to Xi He and Chang Xi? What had they encountered outside...?

An indescribable curiosity, dormant for countless eons, was quietly stirred by this unreliable "harassment call."

The waters of the Primordial Era seemed deeper than she had imagined.

Xi He and Chang Xi watched the smoking communicator and the displeased Xiao Kuang from afar, their ominous premonition growing stronger.

Master... seems to have... really been alerted by this scoundrel?!
