As for what had happened to the Grand Supreme Heavenly Demon...
Sect Master Tongtian had no idea yet. After all, at least five or six middle thousand worlds and one great thousand world lay between them.
So Sect Master Tongtian could only dutifully send Xu Tong's original self a long-distance private message:
"The Grand Supreme Heavenly Demon and Yog-Sothoth have started fighting..."
"Understood. Taishang Laojun just flew into a thunderous rage, regretting that he hadn't given the Wind-Thunder Prayer Cushion to the Grand Supreme Heavenly Demon."
His original self replied practically instantly.
"Can you get over there and lend a hand?"
"Obviously not. The Three Pillar Outer Gods should be about as powerful as someone at the normal peak Hunyuan Taiji Daluo Golden Immortal realm."
"Never mind that I'm still just a world virus that hasn't touched this world's underlying rules-even if I fought them one-on-one, I doubt I could win with the Innate Spiritual Treasures you gave me."
"Of course, if you gave me the Four Zhuxian Treasures, that would be another story!"
After receiving Sect Master Tongtian's very definite answer, Xu Tong fell silent for a few seconds.
Then he sent a single character as a text message.
"|!" (A homophone for "scram!")
"What else can I do, then? Surely you don't expect me to go over there and serve my head up on a platter?"
Sect Master Tongtian shrugged helplessly and continued lounging leisurely on
Just then.
Something changed in Deep Sea, too.
The lobster, who had gradually realized he was growing smarter, came to his senses.
He lay prostrate on the coral reef, his whole body trembling slightly.
Shakily, he used the pheromones and body language of the lobster race to convey a message:
"Unknown, great, god, thank, you, blessing..."
Although it sounded halting and clumsy.
