Song Shuhang’s current proficiency in the ancient language is at a “basic understanding” level. Unless he activates the law related to “language and script,” he finds most ancient language conversations difficult to comprehend.

The red devil skull spoke at length, but the only words Song Shuhang could immediately understand and react to were keywords like “body,” “backup plan,” and “Heavenly Dao.”

For the remaining words, he had to run them through his mind and carefully consider the overall meaning of the sentence.

However, when he registered the term “Heavenly Dao’s backup plan,” he instinctively looked towards Little Lingxiao.

The mechanical girl shook her head, indicating that she didn’t recognize this red devil skull.

“Still alive, huh?” Ball Shuhang hopped over, eyeing the head inside the sealing pillar, ready to strengthen the seal at any moment.

Song Shuhang and Ball Shuhang shared a tacit understanding, placing the “sealing pillar” on the ground—ready for Ball Shuhang to reinforce the seal should anything unexpected occur.

“Why are you stopping us when you’re no longer the Heavenly Dao? As someone who once attained immortality, you should understand that to transcend further, you must break the shackles of the universe. We should be working together, not tripping each other up like this,” the red devil skull continued in the ancient language.

Song Shuhang was speechless.

This time, the conversation was filled with specialized terms, most of which Song Shuhang couldn’t grasp.

But he couldn’t ask Fat Ball to translate for him—that would make Fat Ball suspicious and question his “real” identity.

At the moment, Song Shuhang didn’t want to complicate his relationship with Fat Ball, especially during the New Year.

So, he quietly activated the law related to “language and script” within his body. Once the law was in place, he could at least understand what he was hearing.

However, since the previous sentence in ancient language was too complex, and he hadn’t activated the law at that time, he missed its meaning and had to let it go.

Song Shuhang maintained a stern expression, staring at the red skull without giving it the chance to use any “face-reading” techniques.

Seeing that Song Shuhang remained silent, the red skull simply stared back at him.

After a moment, it seemed to sense some sort of “mark.”

“You’ve killed our ‘Void Sun Guardians’?” the red devil skull questioned, locking its gaze on Song Shuhang.

Apparently, those who had killed a “Void Sun” would carry some kind of mark that the red devil skull could detect.

Song Shuhang remained expressionless.

Not only had he killed a Void Sun, but he had taken out two of them.

One in the Dream Realm.

And another small Void Sun that had infiltrated the Heavenly Dao’s little black room, observing as Song Shuhang and Senior White dealt with the “Stellar Destruction Virus.” Song Shuhang discovered it and obliterated it with a “pay-to-win strike.”

When Song Shuhang still didn’t respond, the red devil skull sneered, “Not talking, huh? It seems we have no room for cooperation. Don’t blame us for being rude… Killing the ‘Void Sun Guardians’ and ‘Stellar Enders,’ even if you’re the Heavenly Dao’s backup plan, we won’t fear you. Mark my words, this debt will be settled!”

Song Shuhang was speechless.

It’s not that I don’t want to talk—if you can, try speaking in modern language! Someday, if I ever attain the status of “immortal Heavenly Dao,” I’ll make sure to promote Mandarin across the entire universe, making it a universal language.

Also, Song Shuhang couldn’t help but wonder if this red skull had some connection to the “Sea Urchin Warrior.” Or maybe… had it also undergone ninety years of compulsory education as a Sea Urchin Warrior? Even its lines were so polished!

Moreover… the “Void Sun Guardians” clearly refer to the Void Suns, so does “Stellar Enders” refer to this red devil skull itself? Could it be that, like the Void Suns, there are many of these entities across the universe?

“Shuhang, Soft Feather and I are back! I’ve also brought back the ‘Jade Pool.’ Where are you?”At this moment, Senior White’s message came through the “Cultivation Chat” function.

Song Shuhang checked the time; Senior White and Soft Feather had only been gone for 9 minutes, just within the 10-minute window.

“I’m on my way back. Please wait a moment, Senior White. I might need your help here with something—possibly reading some memories.”Song Shuhang replied.

It would be difficult for him to read the memories of the red devil skull himself.

But if it were Senior White, he might be able to dig out even the childhood memories of this red devil skull.

“I’ll wait.”Senior White responded.

“Let’s go, we’re heading back to Wenzhou,” Song Shuhang said aloud.

He glanced at Ball Shuhang and ultimately decided to bring it along—after all, this year’s “New Year’s feast” would be held in the Core World.

The Core World was connected to Senior White Two’s Evil Lotus World, so even if Ball Shuhang suddenly regained its memory, Senior White Two was just next door and could jump in to help.

“I’ll open the door.” Ball Shuhang leapt into the air, colliding with the void to open a space gate.

The treasured saber Broken Tyrant nudged the still-pondering Joseph, sending him through the space gate.

Li Yinzhu, rubbing her eyes, hugged Little Lingxiao and followed behind Broken Tyrant.

Song Shuhang bent down, placing his hand on the sealing pillar, and lifted it up.

As he did so, the red devil skull inside the pillar gritted its teeth and let out an angry roar before self-destructing.

It was a final act of defiance.

The entire skull exploded into a cloud of blood mist, assaulting the sealing pillar.

“I was ready for this!” Ball Shuhang’s body extended a hand, pressing down on the sealing pillar to reinforce the seal.

The explosion of the red skull failed to break the “sealing pillar.”

Instead, the virus-laden fog within the sealing pillar was neutralized by the exploding blood mist.

The virus’s violent aura dissipated, leaving only the iron-like core of the virus mother within the sealing pillar.

“Huh?” Song Shuhang lifted the sealing pillar, examining it closely.

It seemed that the red skull’s explosion could partially neutralize the “Stellar Destruction Virus”?

Everything has a counterbalance. The red skull, responsible for planting the virus fog, seemed to have detoxifying properties.

“We should make a note of this… It might come in handy. If possible, we should try to capture more of these red skulls to study the chemical reactions between them and the virus,” Song Shuhang suggested.

“Leave it to me! [Proud smile]” Ball Shuhang replied.

“If possible, I’d really like to launch a ‘New Year Event’ on the ‘Cultivation Chat’ client, mobilizing all the idle experts to hunt down and capture these ‘red skulls’… Too bad there’s no reward enticing enough for those big shots,” Song Shuhang mused.

Pavilion Master Chu’s hair strand:

These things seem like high-tier bosses, and you’re thinking of turning them into a New Year event?

“Let’s leave it for now.” Song Shuhang placed the sealing pillar back into its box.

Then, he shook his hand a bit—the explosion of the red skull had quite a bit of power, enough to make his palm tingle and even redden slightly.
