Chapter 3165: Tyrannical Song Invites You to Join ‘Nine Provinces Number One Chat Group’【Grand Finale】

The practitioners within the “Nine Provinces Number One Chat Group” were truly in a league of their own compared to the rest of the cultivation world.

In this vast universe, only these eccentric and warm-hearted members could have embraced Song Shuhang back in 2019. At that time, he was nothing more than a complete novice, yet they carefully mentored him, guiding his first steps onto the path of cultivation.

If Song Shuhang had been introduced to the world of “cultivation” through any other means, he likely would have remained a minor practitioner, perhaps stalled at the First or Second Stage.

...

“Senior Yellow Mountain, I promise that upon my return, I will work hard to transform into a reliable senior,” Song Shuhang declared solemnly to the Yellow Mountain of this timeline, who acted as the group's "mother."

He vowed that one day, he would become just like the Tyrannical Song of the future—a Song Shuhang who wouldn't cause Mama Yellow Mountain to constantly reach for medicine.

Having now “transcended immortality,” he possessed the ability to instantly grasp the collective wisdom of every practitioner in existence. This meant that the only thing standing between him and being a ‘reliable senior’ was a simple shift in his own perspective.

Senior Yellow Mountain pondered for a moment before saying, “If that is your goal, why don’t you attempt to...”

Yellow Mountain’s words were cut short as he realized the Tyrannical Song he was holding had shifted.

The mischievous grin vanished, replaced by a dependable, soft smile.

His very aura had grown more grounded and composed.

This was the true Tyrannical Song.

[Can’t you at least let me finish a sentence?] Mama Yellow Mountain sighed internally. With practiced ease, he retrieved a medicine bottle and shook out two pills. Even if the Song Shuhang of 2020 aspired to be a proper senior, he still had a massive journey ahead of him.

Tyrannical Song offered a faint smile from across the way.

“It’s just something for a hangover,” Mama Yellow Mountain muttered by way of explanation.

“Yes, I understand, Senior Yellow Mountain,” Tyrannical Song answered with a dependable tone.

Mama Yellow Mountain stared up at the sky in silence.

Eventually, he placed the pills back into the container.

[If the 2020 version of Song Shuhang truly wants to be a ‘reliable senior,’ will he end up making the exact same choices as this man?]

Ultimately, he was still the same person.

It was a pity that once Song Shuhang departed, Senior White followed suit.

The parting felt heavy.

After all, this specific timeline lacked a ‘Future White.’

Without White, the “Nine Provinces Number One Group” felt as though a piece was missing.

I truly feel envious of those fellow daoists living in the 2020 era.

******

February 16, 2020

Myriad Realms, Overlord World.

Song Shuhang and Senior White materialized without a sound.

Both of them carried sacks of ‘local souvenirs’ draped over their shoulders.

Senior White had salvaged some ‘Immortal Sand’—remnants of the Fourth Heavenly Dao.

Song Shuhang’s bundle, however, was packed with condensed ‘Thousand-Year Inner Demons.’ These had matured within the hearts of the Nine Provinces Number One Group for a millennium, making them far tastier than standard inner demons.

—He also carried the consciousness of a certain green onion lady, who was eagerly waiting for him to settle a ‘thousand-year’ salary debt.

The instant Song Shuhang returned, all his spiritual connections re-established themselves from the ‘core world,’ returning him to full power.

“You’re back?” Pavilion Master Chu inquired, her gaze drifting between Song Shuhang and Senior White.

The sight of the two most powerful beings in the myriad realms lugging around various packages was a bit surreal.

“These are cooking supplies... we’re going to throw a massive feast to celebrate surviving the trials of the past, present, and future! Later, I’m going to slip into Scholar Predecessor’s heavenly tribulation and harvest some Ninth Stage attributes to add to the pot,” Song Shuhang said, his mouth already watering at the thought.

Pavilion Master Chu stared at Tyrannical Song, speechless: “...”

“Also, this is Lady Onion’s soul. I still need to visit the Fifth Heavenly Dao Fairy to reclaim Lady Onion’s actual body,” Song Shuhang explained, gesturing with his small bag.

“Lady Onion? You tracked her down in the future?” Pavilion Master Chu gave the small bundle a gentle poke.

“Yes, it’s been quite a while, Pavilion Master Chu. How is your health?” Lady Onion’s voice chirped from within.

However, the tone was different from the ‘cute’ voice Pavilion Master Chu remembered; this version of Lady Onion sounded crisp and quite bold.

Pavilion Master Chu’s hair slowly curled into a confused ‘?’ shape.

“Lady Onion has gone through quite a transformation. Try not to be too startled when she’s back to normal,” Song Shuhang chuckled.

Shortly after, Song Shuhang and Senior White made their way to the heart of the ‘Overlord World.’

Li Yinzhu remained in deep meditation, absorbing the “Tyrannical Seal” authority. Her seclusion would likely last for a long time, perhaps even years.

His other daughter, Xiao Lingxiao, was curled up on Li Yinzhu’s lap, fast asleep while acting as a guardian for her sister.

Song Shuhang softly set a ‘gift box’ down beside Li Yinzhu.

The box was set to open automatically in one month.

This was the birthday present Song Shuhang had readied for little Li Yinzhu—upon opening, Li Tiansu would manifest as her “ghost spirit.”

Meanwhile, Senior White expertly infused a piece of refined ‘Immortal Sand’ into ‘little Li Yinzhu.’

Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword watched in shock, “Immortal Sand? The remains of the Fourth Heavenly Dao?”

Pavilion Master Chu was equally confused, “Wasn’t the Fourth Heavenly Dao’s body being saved to help True Monarch White achieve transcendence?”

“This is just a local specialty from the future,” Senior White clarified. “There’s enough for everyone to have a piece.”

Pavilion Master Chu: “...” You’re calling that a local specialty?

“As expected of my master!” Fellow Daoist Stone Tablet shouted in admiration—it considered any version of ‘White’ to be its master.

“Yes, even magical treasures will get a portion. I’ll need to do some testing later to see how to best bond ‘Immortal Sand’ to a treasure,” Senior White said with a light laugh.

“In honor of the white-robed figure, I’ll be the first to volunteer for your experiments,” Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword offered.

Just then, Xiao Lingxiao blinked her eyes open, looking sleepily at the two men: “White, Papa Song.”

She was clearly still half-asleep.

“Go back to sleep, Xiao Lingxiao, it’s still early.” Senior White popped a grain of ‘Immortal Sand’ into her mouth.

After swallowing it, Xiao Lingxiao let out a soft giggle and closed her eyes again, resting against little Li Yinzhu as she drifted back to sleep. As a contingency plan of the Heavenly Dao, she was able to naturally assimilate the ‘Immortal Sand.’

Song Shuhang watched his two daughters with affection before quietly stepping away.

“I’m going to run some tests with Fellow Daoist Scarlet Heaven Sword... and while we’re at it, we’ll hunt some ‘evil spirits’ to serve as appetizers for the party,” Senior White announced.

“In that case, I’ll head over to the Fifth Heavenly Dao Fairy to get Lady Onion’s body back,” Song Shuhang nodded.

“Let’s hold the grand banquet tonight then,” Senior White said, always enjoying a festive mood. “I’ll go ask Lady Dragon Network Fat Ball for some of her wine.”

“See you this evening,” Song Shuhang agreed.

...

The Land of Reincarnation, the site of the Fifth Heavenly Dao Fairy’s Reincarnation Seal.

Guided by the Reincarnation Blade Fairy, Song Shuhang returned to this location after several days.

“We’ve arrived,” the Reincarnation Blade Fairy stated, finally letting go of Tyrannical Song’s hand with a satisfied air.

The massive Reincarnation Seal had become more translucent, having been cleansed of its darkness by the ‘Fourth Dark Heavenly Dao’ and shedding its lingering regrets.

The new system of reincarnation was nearing its final form.

Song Shuhang stood before the Reincarnation Seal and pressed his hands together in a respectful gesture.

This bow was made on behalf of every practitioner in the universe.

One could argue that the Fifth Heavenly Dao Fairy was the most compassionate of all the Heavenly Daos toward living beings—a complete contrast to the Fourth.

She had sacrificed herself to become reincarnation, providing a path for all souls in the myriad realms.

Pavilion Master Chu’s Ahoge, the Stone Tablet, the virtuous lamia, Fairy Creation, and black-skinned Soft Feather all joined Song Shuhang in bowing toward the Seal.

“We were only able to purify and suppress the ‘Fourth Heavenly Dao’ because of the countermeasures you left behind to counter his billion hidden schemes. Without your help, Fairy, True Monarch White and I would have suffered greatly to destroy him,” Song Shuhang said as he sat down by the Seal to talk.

The Reincarnation Seal vibrated softly. The Reincarnation Blade Fairy translated: “There is no need for gratitude. We were allies in the struggle against the Fourth Heavenly Dao. If anyone deserves thanks, it is you, for helping us settle our final obsessions.”

Song Shuhang smiled and nodded, then pulled out Lady Onion’s ‘consciousness.’ “I’ve also brought Lady Onion back from the ‘future.'”

“Thank you, Fellow Daoist Tyrannical Song,” the Reincarnation Blade Fairy said, stepping forward to carefully take the consciousness and bring it to the Seal.

“Wait, what’s happening?” Lady Onion asked, sounding confused.

“Don’t worry, Lady Onion. The reincarnation system is finished; this is merely a formality before we reunite you with your physical body,” the Reincarnation Blade Fairy explained.

Lady Onion’s ‘consciousness’ was guided into the ‘Reincarnation Seal,’ serving as the final piece of the reincarnation puzzle.

Deep within the Seal, a version of Lady Onion with long hair began to manifest.

It wouldn't be long before the energetic Lady Onion was back to her old self...

“Finally, I have a personal matter I’d like to ask the Fifth Heavenly Dao Fairy about,” Song Shuhang said, sitting politely as he sought counsel.

This level of politeness and obedience was a rare sight ever since he had contracted the Thrice Reckless Disease!

The Reincarnation Blade Fairy translated: “Please, Fellow Daoist Tyrannical Song, ask your question.”

“Fairy, can you tell me if Sixteen’s current state is an example of ‘The Only One in Myriad Realm’? Have you also taken half a step toward ‘Transcendence’?” Song Shuhang asked.

During the banquet in the future child’s world, he had seen a version of Sixteen with dragon horns... but she seemed to be more of a ‘projection.’

While the other members of the future group didn't notice, both Song Shuhang and Senior White had seen through it. Even the ‘Future Child’ likely knew.

These traits were very similar to the concept of being ‘The Only One in Myriad Realm’...

It was possible the Fifth Reincarnation Fairy had also moved toward Transcendence.

“Do you find it hard to deal with? The fact that Sixteen has so many other versions of herself within her?” the Reincarnation Blade Fairy asked, continuing the translation.

Song Shuhang didn't hesitate. “Not at all. How should I put it? It’s just an adult’s hobby, I suppose.”

“Thank you.” A gentle, ethereal voice echoed from the Reincarnation Seal. “You are going to be a father.”

“I already am one,” Song Shuhang pointed out.

“That’s true.” The voice within the Seal let out a pleasant laugh. “I forgot that you already have a daughter.”

After the laughter subsided, the voice continued.

“In that case, I am officially placing my most cherished child, Sixteen, in your care.”

“You can count on me,” Song Shuhang vowed. “In ten months, I’ll bring your granddaughter to visit.”

“Watch your words; they carry weight and cannot be taken back,” the Reincarnation Blade Fairy cautioned.

In that moment, Lady Onion’s physical form fully emerged from the ‘Reincarnation Seal.’

She was still wearing the cheongsam she had on before she ‘vanished.’

She stepped out onto the ground.

“This feels a bit strange,” Lady Onion noted, looking at her outfit with a sense of unfamiliarity.

She also touched her long hair.

With a quick motion of her hand, she sliced her hair into a sharp, short style, matching the look she had in the future.

“Welcome back, Lady Onion,” Song Shuhang said, standing up to greet her.

“My wages,” Lady Onion demanded. Seeing her boss, she put on a stern face and held out her hand. “I want a thousand years of back pay!”

Song Shuhang’s face cramped up. He replied guiltily, “But it’s only 2020.”

“I don’t care,” Lady Onion insisted. “I spent a real thousand years working.”

“Put it on the tab!” Song Shuhang declared with a grand wave. “I’ll borrow it from Senior White later.”

Even though he could manifest a mountain of spirit stones with a thought, those stones felt ‘soulless.’ It was better to borrow from Senior White!

It was the perfect way to strengthen the ‘karmic ties’ between them.

As long as his debt to Senior White remained, their connection would never be severed.

“Fine, put it on the tab,” Lady Onion said, tossing her short hair. She hopped up, transformed into a small green onion sprout, and landed on Song Shuhang’s shoulder.

“Well then, Fifth Heavenly Dao Fairy, we’ll be going now,” Song Shuhang said, addressing the Seal.

“Farewell, Fellow Daoist Tyrannical Song,” the Reincarnation Blade Fairy replied.

Song Shuhang’s image flickered and then vanished.

Once he was gone, the fairy within the Seal spoke again.

“The backup plan of the Eighth Heavenly Dao, ‘Ball Sky Dao,’ has become his daughter.”

“The Seventh Heavenly Dao is inseparable from him; their karmic fates are practically woven together.”

“The Sixth Heavenly Dao’s ‘Virtuous Network’ and that ‘virtuous lamia’ have already become part of his ‘Cultivation Chat Immortal Path.'”

“The Third Heavenly Dao’s creation, ‘Fairy Cheng Lin,’ and the main world itself are tied to him. Even ‘Fairy Ye Si’ is now bonded to Sixteen.”

“The Second Heavenly Dao even surrendered the ‘Third Divine Eye,’ which is now part of Tyrannical Song’s own body...”

Aside from the mysterious First Heavenly Dao, only the Fourth had resisted, leading to his forced purification.

“However, Sixteen isn't actually my daughter,” the Fifth Heavenly Dao Fairy said with a chuckle. “So, I’m quite curious to see how you intend to bring me a ‘granddaughter’ in ten months.”

...

Spirit River Su Clan.

The Su Clan members were as busy as ever.

In Sixteen’s private courtyard, she was currently crouching on the ground, making ‘scary’ faces at a small kitten.

Senior Sister Ye Si was partially emerged from behind Sixteen, holding a “Pregnancy Care Manual” and reciting the important parts aloud.

“Senior Sister Ye Si, please stop, you’re giving me a migraine,” Sixteen groaned, rolling around on her bed while covering her ears. “Why can’t Sixteen number 83 listen to this instead? She’s much more demure. Why does it have to be me?”

“Because she’s already fine, but you need the guidance,” Ye Si said firmly. “You’re far too reckless.”

“I’m not Thrice Reckless Mad Saber! I’m just a little more energetic than the other Sixteens,” Sixteen argued, holding her fingers a tiny fraction apart.

“That tiny fraction is as wide as a universe,” Ye Si countered, smiling warmly as she patted Sixteen. “If you won’t listen, we’ll just have to swap you out for another version.”

Sixteen stared at the ceiling in total defeat. “...”

As she stared up, she noticed someone floating there.

“Hey there, restless Little Sixteen, and Senior Sister Ye Si,” Song Shuhang said, waving—calling her ‘Senior Sister Ye Si’ was a privilege he enjoyed now.

“Is the business with the Future Child finished?” the energetic Sixteen asked, coughing slightly as she sat up and straightened her clothes.

“The major issues across the past, present, and future are settled. Once I synchronize the ‘The One in the Myriad Realm’ effect, the remaining loose ends across time will be fixed,” Song Shuhang explained.

“So, does that mean we’re having a party?” Sixteen’s eyes sparkled.

“Before the celebration, there’s one more thing,” Song Shuhang said, holding up a finger. “Sixteen, Senior Sister, let’s go on a date.”

“That raises a question,” Ye Si said, gesturing as hundreds of phantom images of Sixteen appeared. “Tell me, young Tyrannical Song, which one do you want to date? This golden Sixteen? This silver one? Or one of these other hundreds?”

“Hahaha,” Tyrannical Song laughed from the ceiling, sounding quite pleased with himself. “I am the detached and eternal Tyrannical Song. Naturally, I will date every single one of them, one by one.”

“Do you really have that much time?” Sixteen asked.

“I’ve transcended time itself, what do you think?” Song Shuhang teased.

If he wanted to, he could play with time like a toy.

He could reset the clock after every date while letting Sixteen keep her memories, or split the timeline into hundreds of paths and merge them later. He could even stop time entirely to complete every date before letting the world turn again.

*****

Nightfall.

The World of the Scholarly Golden Lotus.

The members of the ‘Nine Provinces Number One Group’ gathered together.
