Song Shuhang was a powerhouse of his own inside the group, and he could easily chat people to death.

The Heavenly Emperor stared at Song Shuhang and asked him carefully, “Senior Song, why does it seem that you knew about this matter already? How did you know that my path was a part of the completion plan?”

This matter was obviously her biggest secret. She had never told anyone about it, so how did Song Shuhang know about it?

Song Shuhang raised his head and looked at the… lid of the coffin.

The coffin was sealed and stuffy, and his heart felt the same way.

After a while, he nodded and said, “Due to special circumstances, I do know some things about the completion plan.”

One of those ‘special circumstances’ was his entering the dreamland of a prototype version of the Heavenly Emperor.

In retrospect, it was a painful memory second only to Lady Onion’s hundreds of years of living as a green onion.

To be honest, when he entered the dreamland of the prototype Heavenly Emperor and became an experimental subject, the pain and loneliness he felt were even worse than when he experienced Lady Onion’s life.

It was just that his will was already very firm by then, and he was no longer the rookie who had just come into contact with the world of cultivation. Therefore, although the pain and loneliness were greater, the impression that it left on him was weaker than Lady Onion’s life as a green onion.

Song Shuhang personally experienced the various experiments that Wielder of the Will Liquid Metal Ball performed on the prototype Heavenly Emperor.

And these memories may be lost to the Heavenly Emperor as she was in a state similar to that of an embryo back then.

So when it came to the information about the origin of the Heavenly Emperor, Song Shuhang was the most knowledgeable person in the universe. The Wielder of the Will was not a ball and not a person, so they did not count.

Experiment after experiment, the embryo eventually grew to become the ‘Heavenly Emperor 01 Boy Version’. This version of the Heavenly Emperor was set to start cultivating in the human world. Finally, this version of the Heavenly Emperor heard Tyrannical Song’s mysterious call, looked into the abyss, and then took a leap of faith.

It could be said that Song Shuhang had a clear understanding of everything that happened back then.

But as for what happened after, and as for why the boy version of the Heavenly Emperor became a woman… These questions could only be answered if Song Shuhang got to enter the Heavenly Emperor’s dreamland once more.

After a long silence, the Heavenly Emperor said, “Suddenly, I can’t see through you, Senior Song.”

With the screen and Song Shuhang’s deliberately stern face, she could not read any useful information from his face.

Song Shuhang said in a low, mature voice, “A man must be full of mystery.”

Pavilion Master Chu’s strand of hair above his head suddenly said, “It’s supposed to be a woman, not a man, thank you.”

Song Shuhang: “…”

“Since Senior Song knows about the completion plan, then you also should know about the danger that absorbing my path will bring you.” The Heavenly Emperor fell back and leaned against her throne.

She didn’t really want to involve Song Shuhang in the plans of the current Wielder of the Heaven’s Will as she had placed a bet on Song Shuhang. Or rather, she was betting on Song Shuhang’s steel manifestation.

In addition, when Song Shuhang spoke with a deep and mature voice just now, she got a familiar feeling.

Song Shuhang nodded slightly.

He did know about the danger, but it was too late.

The Cultivation chat group had already absorbed a majority of the Heavenly Emperor’s path, so it made no sense to stop now. Moreover, it was impossible for it to spit out the parts it had already absorbed.

Fortunately, during the absorption process, Lady Kunna provided him with some technical support and managed, along with Fairy Cheng Lin’s input, to classify the Heavenly Emperor’s path into three different colors. At present, the only clusters he absorbed were the green ones, and this should allow him to avoid the worst outcome.

“Then, I have nothing else to say. Now that I think about it… This is a good thing for me. Senior Song, since you are also involved in the completion plan, you can move to the front and draw most of the firepower. I will cheer for you from behind,” said the Heavenly Emperor with a happy smile.

Song Shuhang: “…”

The Heavenly Emperor waved her hand and said, “The next time we meet, we might even be on the same side. Alright then, goodbye.”

With that, the video call ended, and the screen of light dissipated.

Song Shuhang pinched his chin. He thought he was going to die this time, so it was unexpected when his call with the Heavenly Emperor ended on good terms.

The Heavenly Emperor’s position was hard to gauge.

Above his head, Pavilion Master Chu’s strand of hair said lazily, “You could say that you’ve passed another test.”

“Mm-hm.” Song Shuhang nodded.

In his mind, he began to recall the experiments of the Liquid Metal Ball when he was dreaming of the life of the prototype Heavenly Emperor.

With those experiments, Wielder of the Will Liquid Metal Ball might have been trying to leave a backdoor in the prototype to eventually gain full control of its body. Perhaps I can find some useful clues in the information to ruin Wielder of the Will Liquid Metal Ball’s completion plan.

Meanwhile, on the asteroid where the Heavenly Emperor was residing…

The Heavenly Emperor sat on her throne, lost in thought.

There was a divination trigram in front of her, but the result of the divination was vague. It lacked a clear result.

“A man has to be full of mystery…” she murmured, imitating the deep, mature voice of Song Shuhang during the video call just now.

Her intuition told her that this voice was the key to Song Shuhang’s secret. It was just that she could not figure anything out for the time being.

Therefore, the Heavenly Emperor chose to give up for now.

She got up and went to the room behind the throne.

This room contained the Sun Boat that she had taken from the Black Dragon World. Song Shuhang’s steel manifestation was sealed inside.

[What is troubling you?] A mechanical voice came from the Sun Boat.

This sound had a special power, like a demonic sound capable of penetrating straight into one’s brain.

“Nothing is troubling me. It’s just that my impression of Profound Sage Tyrannical Song has slightly changed today.” The Heavenly Emperor chuckled and said, “Don’t waste any more time. Return to Earth. There is an important fragment of the Heavenly City there that needs to be retrieved.”

The electronic voice asked, [The mysterious island?]

“Yes, the mysterious island.” The Heavenly Emperor nodded.

As she stepped forward, a door opened on the Sun Boat, and the Heavenly Emperor strode into it.

The mechanical voice continued, [Departing… Inputting the coordinates of the sky over the East China Sea on Earth in the main world…]

The small sun-shaped Sun Boat lifted off, and after a swift acceleration, it traversed space.

At this time, in the stone coffin.

Fairy Cheng Lin sent another message: [Were you talking with the Heavenly Emperor just now?]

[The crazy operations of the Cultivation chat group almost killed me,] Song Shuhang replied with a postscript.

Then, he briefly shared the content of the chat between him and the Heavenly Emperor with Fairy Cheng Lin. He also shared information about the Wielder of the Will’s self-completion plan.

At the same time, he summoned Senior White Two…
