Chapter 2616: Two Choices?

“Fairy Lychee, I’m feeling teary-eyed too.”

The fact that his fellow cultivators from the Nine Provinces Number One Group had remembered him this time brought a slight sense of joy to the hermit.

But when he saw the ‘black screen’ above his head, his heart started to race.

“Will my divinity truly trigger a black screen in the future?” Once this thought crossed his mind, it refused to leave.

If that were true, his life would be utterly dismal! Revealing his divinity in front of others was his only hope.

“Sooner or later, this matter will consume me, transforming into my inner demon,” the hermit sighed heavily, settling the bill before leaving — what appeared to be an ordinary new bakery had turned into a buffet for him.

He couldn’t believe he hadn’t been plagued by inner demons after reaching his current level of cultivation!

Perhaps his cultivation technique had an inherent mechanism to fend off inner demons? Otherwise, there was no reason why such a powerful obsession

wouldn’t manliest as a mental (lemon.

“Or maybe my inner demon has already appeared, but because it lacks self-awareness, I’ve forgotten about it?” The hermit’s mind suddenly wandered.

Lost in thought, he found a chair on the sidewalk and sat down, gazing up at the sky, still fixated on the black screen. “But if it’s not me revealing divinity…

then who’s causing this black screen?” he wondered aloud.

After a moment of contemplation, a realization dawned on him: “Could it be Shuhang?”

Every time Shuhang revealed divinity or delivered a speech, it always left a unique impression. The hermit couldn’t shake the feeling that this black screen was somehow linked to him!

So, the hermit pulled out his phone and sent a private message to Song Shuhang — he didn’t want to mention him in the group, fearing he might be ignored.

“Hey, Song Shuhang, you around?” the hermit messaged.

But after a while, there was no response.

Rubbing his chin, the hermit became even more convinced of his guess.

Given Song Shuhangs personality, they were probably undergoing a group tribulation again, right?

“You’ve left me behind once again,” the hermit muttered bitterly.

Meanwhile, in the Devil Sea Realm, after Fairy Creation activated the Scholarly Sage’s eye in Song Shuhangs left eye, the countless laws within his vision became clear.

The Scholarly Sage’s eye immediately categorized all the ‘laws’ into different colors.

Some of the more common laws, like those of fire, water, wind, earth, and wood, were marked in red. These laws were abundant, numbering in the thousands just for fire alone. But abundance didn’t mean weakness — these laws formed the foundation of the world’s structure.

Then there were more specialized ‘laws’, such as those of strength, speed, and healing, marked in blue.

Next were the relatively rare ‘nomological laws’, including the coveted ‘life’ law sought by many cultivators. These were marked in purple.

Following were a few laws of time, destruction, space, and others related to the Netherworld Realm, marked in gold.

These laws were exceedingly difficult to encounter and required a stroke of fate.

At the end of each path to immortality, only one Immortal prevailed.

Unless the Immortal controlling a path perished, replicating the same path of

immortality proved impossible.

“Does Senior White Two want me to choose one of these laws?” Song Shuhang pondered over the laws labeled ‘golden’ by the Sage’s eye.

If he delved into the laws of space now, he might wield spatial power akin to Senior White before advancing to the Ninth Stage Tribulation Transcender Realm.

Moreover, the golden hue held an allure akin to ‘wealth’, captivating the eye — especially for individuals like Song Shuhang.

His inclination was to explore these golden laws and discern any that resonated with him.

“However, these laws remain bound by the constraints of the primary world or the Netherworld Realm. Even if I depart the Devil Sea Realm, opportunities to engage with them may arise while transcending my tribulation elsewhere,” Song Shuhang reasoned while restraining his impulses.

He believed Senior White Two arranged for him to transcend his tribulation in the Devil Sea World, implying the laws he was meant to encounter belonged exclusively to this realm.

Thus, there must be some unique laws!

Continuing his search amidst the sea of laws, strengthened by the Netherworld ruler’s authority, Song Shuhang encountered nearly all laws.

However, the abundance made it challenging to pinpoint his target.

Time slipped away.

Unbeknownst to him, cultivators of the universe and demons of the Netherworld Realm alike gazed upon the black screen.

In this moment, the concept of time faded from Song Shuhangs awareness.

With the Scholarly Sage’s help, he scoured the sea of laws, eventually uncovering two laws distinct from the rest.

One was entwined among laws of knowledge, bearing an ancient aura.

“Is this a law related to text or language?” Song Shuhang speculated.

Language and communication were fundamental, serving as the basis for his cultivation chat function.

The other mingled amidst life and death laws, seemingly linked to primordial chaos.

Two laws, two choices.

However, even with his unique status, Song Shuhang could only select one.

“Can’t I choose both?” Song Shuhang voiced his query.

Upon his utterance, a function of the Netherworld ruler activated — a karma-related function akin to the loan feature of the Karma Saber Technique.

The Law of Flowers?

With a puzzled expression, Song Shuhang found himself thrust into a display of divinity!
