Chapter 2286 Becoming a God

[Ding~ Notification: Member ʼJinhudao Renʼ of the ʼAncient Heavenly Courtʼ in your friend list has died.]

[Ding~ Notification: Member ʼCai Wu Wangʼ of the ʼAncient Heavenly Courtʼ in your friend list has died.]

[Ding~ Notification: Member ʼTianwai Han Xingʼ of the ʼAncient Heavenly Courtʼ in your friend list has died.]

It was as if his notifications had gone on a spree. Four death notices rang in Song Shuhangʼs mind in rapid succession.

These friends in his list were the high-profile remnants of the Ancient Heavenly Court. These were heavyweights who had targeted him back when he was in the world of beast cultivators. They were, at the very least, Profound Sages armed with Ninth Stage Tribulation Transcender magical treasures, and some of them were even Ninth Stage Tribulation Transcenders themselves.

Back then, he had added them to his ʼfriend list.ʼ Using his divine third eye, he had forcefully injected a wave of ʼjunk informationʼ into their brains and formed a ʼfateʼ bond with them.

Once Song Shuhang had emerged from the ʼWielderʼs Small Black Room,ʼ they had silently remained in his friend list.

Now, four members of the Ancient Heavenly Court, each possessing the power of a ʼTribulation Transcender,ʼ had met their end in quick succession. This had occurred despite the protection of Zither Master Fengyi, who possessed Immortal-level power!

What had happened to the remnants of the Heavenly Courtʼs ʼGuangting Factionʼ?

Could it be Senior Whiteʼs doing?

No, given Senior Whiteʼs style, it felt more like he would suggest sending the members of the Heavenly Court to the ʼWielderʼs Small Black Roomʼ for safety.

Or perhaps the old subordinates of the ʼVenerable Sovereignʼ had launched another attack on the remaining members of the Heavenly Court? Or could it be that the ʼVenerable Sovereignʼ had truly been resurrected?

Song Shuhang furrowed his brow.

In any case, the first order of business was to find a way to contact Senior White.

”Madam Long Luo, has the ʼcultivationʼ upgrade been completed?” he inquired mentally.

”It will take another day and a half for the upgrade to be completed. If Administrator Tyrant Song needs to contact someone, you can directly use the ʼStrengthening Messageʼ function,” Madam Long Luo reminded him.

”Thank you for the reminder,” Song Shuhang said as he retrieved Senior White from his list and inserted a drop of energy.

”Senior White, are you still in the beast cultivator world? Has something happened in the world of beast cultivators?”

After a brief pause, Senior White replied, ”Recently, Iʼve been gathering the evil energy of the Netherworld in the world of beast cultivators, preparing to locate that black stone tablet... Afterward, I got absorbed in researching something significant, so I didnʼt pay much attention to what was happening in the world of beast cultivators.”

Song Shuhang was momentarily speechless.

ʼSenior White, what are you researching?ʼ

Senior White was engrossed in something important. Meanwhile, four Profound Sages and Tribulation Transcenders from the Ancient Heavenly Court had just died in quick succession.

If one were to link these two seemingly unrelated events together, it might spell trouble. Could Senior White have accidentally triggered some catastrophic event while conducting his research in the world of beast cultivators?

”I feel like youʼre worried about something strange, but donʼt fret. What Iʼm researching isnʼt anything perilous,” Senior White reassured.

Song Shuhang couldnʼt help but recall how Senior White would comfort him similarly every time he tinkered with household appliances. It was always the same reassurance, and Senior White would use it again after successfully fixing the appliances.

Senior White was truly a master of consistency.

”Iʼm studying how to become a ʼGod,ʼ” Senior White disclosed.

This time, it was Song Shuhangʼs turn to be flabbergasted.

Become a god? For ordinary folks, beings capable of soaring through the skies and wreaking havoc with a mere gesture were already considered gods. In the realm of cultivators, only the ʼHeavenly Daoʼ was comparable to the concept of a ʼgod.ʼ

”Senior White, are you planning to contend with the heavens?” Song Shuhang asked.

”Shuhang, it seems youʼve been a bit too audacious lately. No matter what you think, you always attribute things to the ʼWielder of the Will.ʼ The ʼgodʼ Iʼm researching and aiming to become is more akin to the Shadow Overlord. Iʼve recently stumbled upon some clues and am in the process of deducing and constructing theoretical formulas. I believe the feasibility is extremely high,” Senior White clarified.

”Iʼm not being audacious, Senior. Itʼs just that you mentioned wanting to become a ʼgod,ʼ so I naturally applied the ʼWielder of the Willʼ template to the concept of a ʼgod,ʼ” Song Shuhang explained.

However, the fact that Senior White was investigating the Shadow Overlord and even referred to it as a ʼgodʼ was somewhat unexpected.

”I still need some time to delve deeper into my research. Did something happen in the world of beast cultivators?” Senior White inquired once more.

”To be precise, something unexpected occurred among the remnants of the Ancient Heavenly Court. Four Profound Sages or Tribulation Transcenders died suddenly,” Song Shuhang replied.

He wondered if these Profound Sages and Tribulation Transcenders had any means of resurrection.

”Did you do it?” Senior White swiftly asked.

Song Shuhang was speechless.

ʼSenior White, do you think Iʼm capable of that?

You know me better than that.ʼ he thought.

”Then, while Iʼm collecting the Netherworldʼs evil energy and conducting experiments, Iʼll keep an eye on it for you. Iʼm still in the world of beast cultivators anyway,” Senior White responded.

Song Shuhang replied, ”No need, no need, itʼs primarily a matter concerning the remaining members of the Heavenly Court, and it doesnʼt have much to do with us. You donʼt have to expend your energy on it. Nonetheless, something about this situation seems strange. Please take care of yourself, Senior White.”

”Alright, understood. Actually, Iʼve been quite safe all along. If thereʼs any danger, Iʼll make a swift retreat,” Senior White assured.

After concluding his conversation with Senior White, Song Shuhang extended his hand and picked up the ancient language book.

The dead of night was an excellent time for study.

Beneath the moonlight, the demonic hamster kept the young scholar company as he earnestly delved into his studies.

After flipping through a few pages of the book, Song Shuhang suddenly raised his head as a thought occurred to him. Why not inquire directly with someone involved in the Ancient Heavenly Court about the situation?

Even though he had four high-level members of the Ancient Heavenly Court on his friend list, he still had many other friends to reach out to.

Song Shuhang opened his list and found the Ivory Trigram Tooth Fairy.

”Senior Tooth Fairy, what has happened there?”

”Tyrannical Song? Cheng Lin? Donʼt come over; itʼs heavenly punishment... The heavens are targeting our secret realm. The moment anyone steps even half a foot outside the secret realm, theyʼre struck by heavenly punishment, and thereʼs no escape,” the tooth fairy swiftly replied.

Song Shuhang was stunned.

He was well aware of the power of heavenly punishment.

Unless the ruler of the Netherworld entered the main world, heavenly punishment rarely made an appearance.

”What did you do to incur heavenly punishment?” Song Shuhang inquired.

”We didnʼt do anything, but heavenly punishment descended inexplicably. The heavenly secrets are in turmoil, and I canʼt calculate anything,” the tooth fairy responded, clearly distressed.

Song Shuhang leaned back in his chair, organizing the information in his mind.

He systematically extracted each piece of information.

Members of the Heavenly Court had been inexplicably targeted by heavenly punishment.

The authority of the Heavenly Dao was waning, and malevolence was spreading throughout the world. It had caused it to crumble in some unknown corner.

The fat ball boss from the Netherworld had exhibited peculiar behavior.

The Celestial Thearch had warned him that absorbing her Dao would put him in a perilous situation.

The Dao of the Ancient Heavenly Court was a plan to allow the Heavenly Dao Ball to complete itself.

The clues were beginning to form a clearer picture.

”Could it be that the Heavenly Dao has begun to break through and is forcefully reclaiming the Dao of the Heavenly Court to repair itself?”
