Chapter 2586: Don’t Discard the Used Demon Sea World, Repurpose It..
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Upon seeing the title “Cheng Goudan” preceding Song Shuhangs name, Fairy Cheng Lin felt a direct challenge from Song Goudan. The proverb, “A dog in wealth must not be looked down upon,” seemed to suggest a standoff between two dogs.
Cheng Goudan demanded, “Stop with the ellipses. Explain clearly, what in the world is Cheng Goudan?”
A daoist name is a matter of grave importance, not something to be changed on a whim.
Thinking ellipses could serve as a cover was a mistake.
“This is an excellent question, quite profound. So… Fairy, why not inquire with the miraculous Father Goudan? I believe he could provide a definitive answer,” Song Shuhang replied.
Aside from Father Goudan, who else had the power to change the daoist name Cheng Lin?
“What exactly did you do?”
Song Shuhang sighed and responded with the voice function, “It’s a long story. Ever since I became the ruler of the Netherworld…
“Since you became the ruler of the Netherworld?” Cheng Goudan queried.
“Fairy Cheng Lin, no need to panic. I’m just filling in temporarily. I’m taking over for Senior White Two for a bit,” Song Shuhang explained.
Cheng Goudan pressed, “Ever since Senior White and Senior White Two came into the picture, you’ve really been doing whatever you please. Cut the chatter, don’t veer off topic, and make it brief! You have one minute to make things clear, or else!”
“I was already making it brief, but you interrupted,” Song Shuhang claimed innocently. “In essence, ever since I took on the temporary role of the Netherworld’s ruler, I’ve been influenced by its authority. My ego has inflated to the point of being uncontrollable. During a conversation with Goudan’s father, I couldn’t help but voice my true feelings, pointing out his lack of talent in naming. As a result, Goudan’s father, infuriated and humiliated, changed my daoist name from ‘Cheng Lin’ to ‘Cheng Goudan.’”
Cheng Goudan was speechless.
ÄJhy should Cheng Goudan bear the consequences of Song Shuhangs actions?
“I initially thought it was only my daoist name that had been changed to
Cheng Goudan. Discovering that your daoist name had been altered as well, Fairy Cheng Lin, brings me some comfort. After all, we’re in the same boat now,” Song Shuhang mentioned, finding a peculiar sense of balance.
Cheng Goudan was again speechless.
“Fairy Cheng Lin, do you have any other questions? I’m actually quite busy at the moment,” Song Shuhang responded.
“What are you busy with?”
“Busy saving the world?” Song Shuhang offered. He mentioned the seven Ninth-ranked demons awaiting his commands and an evil entity on Earth awaiting his deployment of demons. Claiming to save the Earth wasn’t unwarranted.
Cheng Goudan incredulously threatened, “Believe it or not, I, Cheng Lin, will come over right now and smash your dog head!”
“The Limitless Demon Sect has a plan to open up the Demon Sea World in the Netherworld. I’m planning to use their scheme as an opportunity to save the world as well,” Song Shuhang replied.
“Opening the Demon Sea? And Senior White Two has no objections?”
“Senior White Two actually wants me to utilize the magical world to deliver my final divine speech, putting a period at the end of my Profound Sage Speech,” Song Shuhang said.
The sense of doing as one pleases felt great, Cheng Goudan noted, “Also…
hurry up and ask Father Goudan to revert my daoist name!”
“You should speak to Father Goudan yourself,” Song Shuhang suggested.
“Have I lost my mind?” Cheng Goudan retorted. “If I spend even a moment in conversation with Father Goudan, he could trace my location through the internet. Now that the Heavenly Dao has collapsed, he enjoys a great deal of freedom.”
“Alright, I’ll go and apologize to Father Goudan. With the right attitude, I might succeed,” Song Shuhang stated—acknowledging one’s faults is a traditional Chinese virtue, while refusal to change is a customary practice in the Netherworld.
Cheng Goudan added, “Speaking of the ‘Demon Sea World,’ it reminds me… When the time comes, mention to Father Goudan and Senior White Two not to discard the Demon Sea World’ after use.’
“Dipped in egg wash, coated in breadcrumbs, fried until golden and crispy?” Song Shuhang quickly replied.
Cheng Goudan found Song Shuhangs attitude, heavily influenced by the authority of the Netherworld’s ruler, to be exceedingly arrogant.
“Apologies, I’ve become arrogant again,” Song Shuhang promptly admitted, though he could not guarantee he wouldn’t repeat the mistake. The influence of the Netherworld ruler’s authority was indeed formidable!
Cheng Goudan took a deep breath and shared, “When the Third Wielder of the Will was creating the seeds for the world of the golden lotus, the world of the black lotus, and your Inner World, he conducted an experiment to revert a small portion of the Netherworld Realm to the Devil Sea Realm. The reason your Inner World’s seed can devour the Netherworld’s evil energy for its growth is because it requires the power of the Netherworld Realm… to be precise, the energy of the Devil Sea Realm.”
“So, I should not only use the Demon Sea world for my tribulation but also seize the entire Demon Sea world for the growth of my Inner World?” Song Shuhang inquired.
“Exactly,” Cheng Goudan confirmed.
“That’s precisely my intention,” Song Shuhang stated.
From the outset, he had never planned to return the Devil Sea World to the Limitless Demon Sect.
Cheng Goudan concluded, “Enough chat. Go apologize to Father Goudan and change your name… If Cheng Goudan’s daoist name isn’t reverted, don’t even think about seeing me again.”
After these words, Fairy Cheng Lin ended the private chat.
Song Shuhang was left speechless.
Following the chat’s conclusion, Song Shuhang looked up at Striped Dragon Two.
“Do you have something to say?” Striped Dragon Two inquired.
With a stern face, Song Shuhang earnestly said, “Father Goudan, I inadvertently became arrogant again. I need to apologize. Could you possibly revert the daoist name Cheng Goudan?”
Striped Dragon Two was left speechless.
The title of Father Goudan brought Striped Dragon Two immense discomfort.
Inflicting damage on oneself to harm the enemy.
“What’s the use of merely apologizing? You need to rectify your mistakes. I’ll change your daoist name back when you’re no longer arrogant,” Striped Dragon Two asserted, unwilling to compromise his dignity.
Simply wanting a change wasn’t enough; Father Goudan needed to maintain his pride.
“Father Goudan, there’s another matter. The other Cheng Goudan mentioned that the Demon Sea world might promote the next evolution of the Inner World. Thus, we must take control of the ‘Demon Sea World’ and find a way to integrate it into the Inner World,” Song Shuhang reminded.
The Inner World had reached a developmental threshold, and the incremental benefits of the Netherworld’s ordinary evil energy had become limited—Song Shuhang planned to venture into the Netherworld soon to locate an area rich in pure evil energy for the Inner World to feast upon.
“Incorporating the Demon Sea into the Inner World?” Striped Dragon Two pondered briefly before stating, “We’ll need to carefully calculate that when the time comes. The Demon Sea world poses significant risks, and we must proceed with utmost caution when integrating it into the Inner World.”
“Yes, we’ll meticulously plan when the time arrives,” Song Shuhang agreed.
“Let’s first complete our current tasks.”
He, Song Shuhang, would save the world!
In the real world, his main body had already escorted Soft Feather back to
Spirit Butterfly Island and had begun contacting the Vast Sea Scholar and Daoist Nun Miao Qing.. With the aid of the seven Ninth Stage demons, he could scourge Mother Earth and bring about destruction within a day!
