Even if someone’s death was for a noble cause, the end result would not be any different.

No one could escape this fate.

Dying, getting buried, and getting forgotten. At some point, even the corpse, the only proof that someone had existed, would be gone.

Just as you did not bring anything with you when you came to life, you would not bring anything with you as you left for death.

It was a sad but poetic truth.

It was not until the day Song Shuhang experienced death himself that he realized that death was not as fair as he initially thought.

Right now, when it came to death, the sorrow and fear he felt were pitifully small.

Song Shuhang touched his face.

He could feel warmth. He was alive.

At the very least, his head seemed to be perfectly fine.

“Senior White, when did I die again?” Song Shuhang asked with a confused expression on his face.

“Oh, in that fat… Hrm, according to the records of that fat ruler, you are dead.” As Senior White spoke, his hands drew a large circle in the air.

As the evil energy of the Netherworld might have infiltrated Garre Holy Mountain’s trial grounds, Senior White did not mention the nickname of the Netherworld Ruler Fat Ball, lest the other party sense it.

Song Shuhang quickly understood what he meant.

Senior White continued, “Also, it seems that the information the fat ruler has on you is going to be deleted from its recycle bin soon.”

Song Shuhang slammed his left fist in the palm of his right hand and said happily, “That’s wonderful news!”

This was indeed wonderful news.

The Netherworld Ruler Fat Ball was among the top three existences he least wanted to encounter, and it was not third or second.

Whenever Song Shuhang encountered it, nothing good would come out of the encounter.

Many of the deaths he had experienced had to do with the fat ball.

In the scholarly faction’s world of the golden lotus, he was crushed to death countless times by the fat ball. If it was not for his incredible will, his mind and spirit would have long been crushed.

The reason he was killed by Senior White’s clone back in the Black Dragon World was a drop of the fat ball’s liquid clone, which drew the Heavenly Punishment. To avoid dying under the Heavenly Punishment, Senior White’s clone acted first and killed him before the lightning could descend.

And most recently, the Heavenly Punishment that brought about the two dragons that sandwiched him to death also originated from the fat ball.

If it was not for Senior White Two and Senior White covering for him, he would have died a long time ago.

In short, every time he encountered the fat ball, he would face misfortune.

He was really afraid of the fat ball.

Now, hearing that he was dead in the records of the fat ball, Song Shuhang’s mood soared sky-high. He felt as if he had won the jackpot in the lottery.

Song Shuhang clenched his fists and said, “That means I have to keep a low profile for the time being.”

He would keep a low profile for some time, live his life, and let the fat ball forget about him.

If all the information the fat ball had on him was deleted permanently, it would be the best-case scenario for him.

If that were to happen, the fat ball would not come to trouble him again.

“Mm-hm, indeed, you should keep a low profile for some time.” Senior White patted Song Shuhang lightly. Then, he picked two strange fruits from Shuhang’s wooden body, wiped them, and ate them.

Song Shuhang said, “At the very least, I should keep a low profile until I show my divinity again.”

The divine dragon was slightly taken aback and asked, “When are you supposed to hold another Divinity Show? I can see that you already have three Sage Names. Doesn’t that mean that you’ve already shown your divinity three times?”

The divine dragon was coiled into a ball and huddled next to Fairy White Dragon while listening to her translation.

Just now, it was paying attention to the beast cultivators who had advanced to the next trial, especially to the team with Daoist Turntable.

In fact, Daoist Turntable’s team and Sixteen could have directly received the blessing without going through the test.

As Sixteen had the blood of a true dragon, she could be regarded as a “dragon,” which would allow her team to pass the test just like Tyrannical Song did because he brought Fairy White Dragon with him.

But when it saw that Tyrannical Song was having so much fun, it did not have the heart to remind him of this detail. As such, he let him use his authority as a trial officer to keep having fun.

If not, as the main trial officer, how could it just sit by and watch little friend Tyrannical Song cheat?

Song Shuhang replied without any hesitation, “Hahaha! Is there even a need to ask? Naturally, it’s when I reach the Eighth Stage.”

Before the Eighth Stage, he would definitely keep a low profile.

The divine dragon could not help but ask, “Then, where did your first three Sage Names come from?”

Song Shuhang explained, “I obtained one after transcending a group heavenly tribulation in the main world and another one after accidentally getting dragged into the Demonic Tribulation Realm in the Netherworld Realm.”

The divine dragon nodded slightly. These two were easy to explain.

One was the Sage Seal of the main world, and the other was the corresponding Demon Seal of the Netherworld Realm.

Song Shuhang said, “As for the third one, which is the Ancient Seal, I condensed it in a strange minor world. That world is very special. It is a world of its own, and it does not belong to the main world or the Netherworld Realm.”

“Is that a thing?” The divine dragon was stunned.

No wonder little friend Tyrannical Song was the only one to condense three Sage Seals. The methods he used to obtain them were definitely out of the ordinary.

However, when Song Shuhang defined the small world, the divine dragon had a feeling of déjà vu.

It felt as if it had heard of a similar place a long time ago.

However, the divine dragon was a rather special being and thus different from ordinary creatures. Some of its ancient memories could no longer be recalled clearly.

The divine dragon shook its head gently and then said with a cough, “Now then, little friend Tyrannical Song, I will teach you about the dragon union to further strengthen the ?Holy Ape Dragon Power Technique? and give birth to a Nascent Soul!”

The tests arranged by Tyrannical Song, Sage White, and Fairy White Dragon were much more effective than it had initially thought they would be. At some point during the trial, it even felt distressed for the trial takers.

Anyway, it was now time to give Song Shuhang the agreed-upon reward.

“What do I need to do?” Song Shuhang sat up.

Sister White Dragon asked, “Does this technique have a name?”

“Fellow Daoist Tyrannical Song, don’t worry. Just follow my instructions.” The divine dragon answered Song Shuhang’s question first and then answered Fairy White Dragon’s question. “This wondrous technique is a minor chapter of the ?Holy Ape Dragon Power Technique? called ?Ape Dragon Miraculous Nascent Technique?.”

“I seem to have heard of this cultivation technique before,” said Senior White suddenly. “I vaguely remember that there was a saber heart technique…”

“As expected of Fellow Daoist White, you’re very knowledgeable.” The divine dragon laughed and said, “The ?Ape Dragon Miraculous Nascent Technique? is actually adapted from a saber scripture called the ?Dragon Tiger Convergence Saber Heart Technique?. In addition, the creator of that saber heart technique is also the creator of the ?Holy Ape Dragon Power Technique?.”

A saber technique?

Song Shuhang scratched his head. If it was a cultivation technique that was based on a saber technique, then it might suit him.

The divine dragon said, “Then first, I need a dragon pearl.”

As soon as it finished speaking, Sister White Dragon and Sixteen summoned their dragon pearls.
