When Song Shuhang opened his eyes, he found that he was in a brilliant starry sky... but the starry sky was fake, just as if it were a picture pasted onto the background.

In addition, he had hands but couldn’t move them, had feet but couldn’t walk, and had a mouth but couldn’t speak.

Yet, it felt completely different from when he entered a dreamland.

“???” Song Shuhang.

“Eh? We meet again, little friend Shuhang.” At this moment, a huge whale slowly swam over from afar.

It was Senior Sage Monarch Melon Eater.

Song Shuhang blinked vigorously at Sage Monarch Melon Eater. He was unable to speak, and only his eyes could move.

Sage Monarch Melon Eater chuckled, and said, “Oh, you entered the ‘Virtuous Network World’ with your own power this time. It’s alright, you will be able to move in a while. When I first came in, it was the same for me. I couldn’t do anything except blinking. And, at that time, I was all alone. You’re having it much better than me, at least you have me to accompany you.”

Sage Monarch Melon Eater slowly swam to Song Shuhang’s side.

Then, its figure shrank to a length of about two meters.

Recently, it had changed a lot. Its whale body had become slimmer, and it was overall more handsome and majestic.

So I’m in the Virtuous Network. Song Shuhang inwardly let out a breath of relief.

He guessed that the reason he’d been brought into this world was the Golden Core Composition the virtuous lamia drew in his ‘Dragon Horn Dantian’.

“Hmm, what should we talk about?” Sage Monarch Melon Eater slowly dangled its tail. After thinking for a long time, he asked, “Right, Shuhang, do you think I am delicious? Just blink your eyes once if you think I’m delicious. If not, then I guess blink twice?”

“...” Song Shuhang.

Because you’re the one asking this question, I honestly have no clue as to how I should answer.

“Do you not want to talk about this topic? Well, there doesn’t seem to be much to talk about between the two of us.” The corners of Sage Monarch Melon Eater’s lips curled up in a smile.

The smile on the whale’s face was very vivid, and it looked exactly like an emoji.

Sage Monarch Melon Eater continued, “In a while, I will ascend. I will finally go past the Eighth Stage Realm and reach the Ninth Stage.”

It had been in the Eighth Stage Profound Sage for so long... so long that it thought that it would end up dying of old age at the Eighth Stage.

Now, it finally got the opportunity to make a breakthrough, and it cherished this opportunity very much.

Song Shuhang blinked again and again—he wanted to express his congratulations to Sage Monarch Melon Eater.

Sage Monarch Melon Eater said, “I’ve just discovered that when a man blinks at me continuously, it makes me feel like vomiting.”

“...” Song Shuhang.

Sage Monarch Melon Eater said, “In addition, little friend, you’re a cultivator. Even if you can’t use your mouth to speak, you can use your mental energy to convey your thoughts. In the ‘Virtuous Network’, everything is possible. You can even use the ‘secret sound transmission’ as a means of communication. Although you don’t have a physical body here, you can still use these kinds of means in the Virtuous Network.”

“...” Song Shuhang.

Why didn’t you say so earlier?!

I keep on feeling like Senior Melon Eater has completely changed after he ‘abandoned his body’ and entered this ‘virtuous mode’.

“Congratulations, Senior Melon Eater,” Song Shuhang said by transmitting his voice.

Senior Melon Eater laughed, and said, “Thank you. I’m only able to have what I have today thanks to the help from you and Senior Northern Emperor. But when I ascend to the Ninth Stage this time, I’m unable to give you myself to eat, so don’t even think about it.”

“...” Song Shuhang.

Can we not talk about this?

“Alright, let’s talk about something else. How have you been recently?” Sage Monarch Melon Eater asked next.

Song Shuhang sighed faintly in his heart. “I just died, and I’m still in the middle of reviving.”

Sage Monarch Melon Eater curiously asked, “Oh, how did you die?”

“I died under the heavenly punishment,” Song Shuhang said—he didn’t want to say that he was cut apart by Senior White’s clone.

Sage Monarch Melon Eater said, “How amazing, little friend. You were actually able to keep your soul intact even under the heavenly punishment.”

Song Shuhang asked, “I don’t want to talk about it, my heart feels so stifled. Senior Melon Eater, what have you gained recently?”

Sage Monarch Melon Eater said, “Hmm, in terms of gains, my authority in the ‘Virtuous Network’ has increased significantly. Besides that, I found an interesting magical treasure. Do you want to come and take a look?”

Song Shuhang inquired, “What magical treasure?”

Sage Monarch Melon Eater said, “It’s a terrifying, star-killing magical treasure. I laughed so much that I peed after seeing it.”

“?” Song Shuhang.

You laughed so much that you peed? What the hell do you mean?

“Come, come, come. Follow me.” Sage Monarch Melon Eater took Song Shuhang to the side of a light spot. Two claws stretched out from its neck, and tapped at the light spot.

In the next moment, a ‘terrifying’ magical treasure that was said to be theoretically capable of destroying a star appeared in front of Song Shuhang.

Just imagine a magical treasure that could attack over extremely long distances, and was capable of destroying a small mountain with a single shot. How did you have to change it to make it capable of destroying a world, turning into the legendary ‘star-destroying cannon’?

Was the focus on its size? Did it have to have the size of a star?

However, if it were made to be as large as a star, the problem of filling its energy core with enough energy to move it around would arise.

The answer was to make countless ‘star-destroying magical treasures’.

Once the number was pushed to the extreme and the treasures piled up on one another were enough to rival a star in size, they would work like countless ants trying to fell an elephant.

Together, they were capable of destroying a world in a single shot.

“Who was so bored that they chose to make countless of such magical treasures?” Sage Monarch Melon Eater laughed heartily.

While Sage Monarch Melon Eater was in the middle of laughing loudly, Song Shuhang’s body gradually became transparent.

He left the Virtuous Network, and returned to the main world.

❄️❄️❄️

Song Shuhang opened his eyes again.

This time, it was not a giant whale that appeared in front of him, but instead a nervous Yinzhu and Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword, who was hanging on her back—as well as the ‘Fairy Creation’, who had attached herself to Li Yinzhu.

Eh? When did Fairy Creation run to Li Yinzhu’s body?

Oh, right... Fairy Creation wasn’t part of his body; she wasn’t like the virtuous lamia, who could revive infinitely as long as he was alive.

At that time, he only remembered to send Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword away, but forgot to make arrangements for Fairy Creation. Fortunately, she seemed to be doing just fine.

Seeing Song Shuhang open his eyes, Little Yinzhu said happily, “A’Song, you’re finally awake.”

Song Shuhang nodded slightly, and looked up above his head at the same time.

At this moment, it looked like they were in a car. He was lying on a small bed while the car moved slowly.

Song Shuhang asked, “How’s Senior White’s clone?

Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword said, “Gone. He was involved in the heavenly punishment, there is no escaping such a thing.”

Song Shuhang inquired, “Not even with spatial abilities?”

Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword said, “I didn’t sense any spatial fluctuations...”

“I really felt that with Senior White’s luck and his spatial abilities, there might have been a way to avoid it.” Song Shuhang sighed and sat up straight.

Song ‘Heart Very Tired’ Shuhang finally managed to have his Resurrection Gold Coins come off cooldown. But in the end, the cooldown was back before he even knew it.

Of the 12 Resurrection Gold Coins he got as a set, there were now only nine remaining.

He’d have to wait another seven days before being able to use another one.

When I go back, I will capture some celestials and exchange them for some spirit stones, and then look for the Almighty Merchant again and buy another resurrection pill or something, Song Shuhang said inwardly.

Right, there was one more thing to confirm.

After he died, did the heavenly punishment disappear?

As Song Shuhang closed his eyes and extended his senses, he felt that he was no longer being targeted.

He let out a breath of relief.

He then sat up on the small bed.

“Rip~” A small wound appeared on his arm, and a few drops of blood flowed out.

From his eyes, the golden rune of the secret appraisal technique flew out.

Since he had not put on the ‘Defiant Whale Warrior’s Glove’ and ‘Ancestral Witch’s Blessing’, the secret appraisal technique had been activated when he moved his hands.

[Black Dragon World’s temple ambulance. An advanced, pollution-free magical car that uses ‘magical power flow’ to move. Specifically made for rescuing seriously injured Black Dragon World mages.]

“...” Song Shuhang.

This kind of magical car had appeared in Black Pupil XIII’s memories. But why were they in an ambulance of the Black Dragon World?

Little Yinzhu seemed to have noticed the confusion on Song Shuhang’s face. “When I woke up from Senior White’s ‘Black Dragon World Language Pack Illusory Technique’, I found that some people from the Black Dragon World were carrying us into an ambulance. They seem to be very friendly to us, repeatedly saying that we are precious ‘hybrids’ that had to be saved no matter what.”

Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword rose, and returned the ‘magical bracelet’ to Song Shuhang. “I sensed them approaching, but since they had no malice towards us, I let them take you, Little Yinzhu, and the drunk Black Dragon World woman into the ambulance.”

By his side, the woman from the Black Dragon World was still asleep.

It was unknown whether it was because she was really drunk, or if it was an aftereffect of Senior White’s illusory technique.

Li Yinzhu added, “They want to send you to the temple for treatment, at least from what I heard.”

Song Shuhang took out his equipment from the magical bracelet, and put on the two gloves first. Then, he removed the sheet that covered him and took a look...

Afterward, he went under the sheet, and began to put on clothes quietly.

Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword said, “You don’t need to hide to wear your clothes. We’ve already seen everything that should and should not be seen.”

The corners of Song Shuhang’s mouth twitched.

“We’re heading to the temple?” Song Shuhang asked after getting dressed.

Li Yinzhu nodded obediently.

Song Shuhang said, “Wonderful.”

Things were going as he wished them to.

Before, he’d been pondering when he could visit Buddhist and Daoist temples, the scholarly faction, the Holy Light Church, and other similar places to get baptized and buy some amulets.

Now, an opportunity had come.

They would arrive at a temple soon.

The temples of the Black Dragon World put people first, so they should sell effective amulets, right?

“What’s wonderful?” Scarlet Heaven Sword asked in confusion.

Song Shuhang responded, “In a while, when we get to the temple, I’m going to ask for some blessings. If they offer baptism services, I’ll have myself baptized as well. Regardless of whether it works or not, I’ll feel more at ease. Recently, I’ve been in too many precarious situations.”

“...” Scarlet Heaven Sword.
