Chapter 2830 - 2830 The Scholar Between Existence and Non-Existence

The Wielder of the Will Striped Dragon had devised several escape methods, including plans for the world of the black lotus and the world of the golden lotus. However, to preserve Netherworld Father Goudan, the Wielder of the Will Striped Dragon ultimately abandoned these plans and instead studied the ‘Primordial Ghost God’ plan and the Nine Virtues Phoenix Saber’s escape method.

“Do you want to enter the Heavenly Dao Prison? Do you want me to help you get in?” Father Goudan asked. Although he didn’t have the authority to open the Heavenly Dao Prison, he was the true ruler of the Netherworld. If he attached a part of his original ‘Netherworld ruler power’ to Song Shuhang, the Heavenly Dao laws would automatically be guided, either sending down heavenly punishment or pulling Song Shuhang into the Heavenly Dao Prison.

“Thank you for your kindness, senior, but there’s no need… I just came out of the Wielder’s small black room, and I don’t plan on going back anytime soon,” Song Shuhang hurriedly explained. “I came into contact with Scholar Fishstomach’s inherited cultivation technique and tried to practice it. While cultivating, I suddenly thought of the theory behind the Wielder’s small black room. It seemed similar to Scholar Fishstomach’s technique. So, I wanted to ask if you have any data on the Wielder’s small black room to analyze.”

“Unfortunately, no,” Father Goudan replied. “I’m only the ruler of the Netherworld, not the Heavenly Dao. The Heavenly Dao Prison was created by my Heavenly Dao Body after vindication. I don’t have that part of the memory. Moreover, my corresponding Heavenly Dao never shared the ‘experimental process and data’ with me.”

Whether it was the Heavenly Dao Space experiment, the Black Golden Lotus experiment, the Ghost God experiment, or the Nine Virtues Phoenix Saber experiment, the Wielder of the Will Striped Dragon developed them all secretly. Even if he needed Netherworld Father Goudan’s help, he was always mysterious about it.

There was even a time when Netherworld Father Goudan suddenly woke up and found he had been experimented on—the corresponding Heavenly Dao had disappeared, leaving only fragments of the ‘Ghost God’ on the ground.

These ghost god fragments were assembled, with the largest part becoming the ghost spirit, Cheng Lin. The remaining fragments spread throughout the myriad worlds, each with their own fortunes.

“In other words, only the Wielder of the Will Striped Dragon has the detailed data on the Wielder’s small black room? What a pity… I thought I found a breakthrough for Scholar Fishstomach’s technique,” Song Shuhang sighed.

“It’s not ‘Wielder of the Will Striped Dragon.’ It’s Cheng Goudan’s ‘Wielder of the Will Father Goudan.’ Watch your words,” Father Goudan said in a deep voice.

Song Shuhang was speechless.

Fairy Cheng Lin was speechless.

When the striped dragon boss gave up on himself and admitted he was Father Goudan, Cheng Lin suddenly realized that the possibility of changing back from Cheng Goudan to Cheng Lin was very far away, causing her to despair.

Furthermore, Daoist names are extremely important. Sometimes, a Daoist name can affect a person, especially when given by important figures. They can have the effect of ‘the law follows the words spoken.’

Fairy Cheng Lin felt her personality becoming more like that of a puppy, and her style had been distorted.

“However, when you mentioned Scholar Fishstomach’s technique… I seem to recall it,” Fairy Cheng Lin interjected.

Fairy Cheng Lin’s predecessor, ‘Ghost God,’ was created by Heavenly Dao Father Goudan. After being created, she didn’t immediately carry out the plan to preserve the ruler of the Netherworld. Instead, she stayed by the side of Wielder of the Will Father Goudan until the Nine Virtues Phoenix Saber was forged, then carried out the plan.

Thus, Fairy Cheng Lin knew some secrets about ‘Wielder of the Will Father Goudan.’

Song Shuhang proposed his guess, “Could it be that Scholar Fishstomach’s technique was invented by Heavenly Axiom’s Father Goudan?”

Scholar Fishstomach’s ‘Forgotten Divine Technique’ was written in ancient characters and had been around for a long time.

Considering the nature of the Wielder’s small black room created by the Wielder’s Striped Dragon, Song Shuhang’s guess seemed plausible.

“I’m not sure. Why don’t you show us Scholar Fishstomach’s technique first?” Fairy Cheng Goudan suggested.

“I’ll go ask the scholar and see if he agrees,” Song Shuhang said.

His consciousness used the ‘cultivation chat’ function to contact Scholar Fishstomach.

“Scholar, there’s something I need your approval for,” Song Shuhang sent a message.

Opposite him.

“Who are you?” Scholar Fishstomach asked.

Song Shuhang was confused.

“It’s me, Shuhang!”

As expected, Scholar Fishstomach was doomed. Right now, apart from his almost nonexistent presence and inability to remember his Daoist name and technique, he couldn’t even remember other people’s information.

One day, Scholar Fishstomach would enter a state of ‘no self.’ No one in the universe would remember him, and he wouldn’t remember anyone in the universe. No one would know of his existence, and he would forget the existence of others. No one would be able to detect him, and he would be ‘nonexistent.’ However, he was real. As long as someone could observe him, he would exist.

This was Master Quantum!

“Wait, I was distracted just now. Little friend Shuhang, is there something you need my permission for?” Scholar Fishstomach quickly recovered and said.

“Can I open the chapter of your technique for a big shot to appraise?” Song Shuhang asked.

Scholar Fishstomach asked, “Big shot? What level of big shot?”

“Ruler of the Netherworld,” Song Shuhang replied.

Scholar Fishstomach: “I’m just asking. It’s just the beginning. Little friend Shuhang, you can show it to whoever you want.”

“Okay, Scholar. With your words, I can rest assured,” Song Shuhang said with a smile.

Then, he exited the ‘cultivation chat’ function and sent the opening chapter of Scholar Fishstomach’s ‘Forgotten Divine Technique’ to Cheng Goudan and Father Goudan.

A moment later…

“It really is this technique. I’ve seen this technique from Heavenly Axiom’s Father Goudan,” Fairy Cheng Goudan replied.

“It really is the work of Heavenly Dao Father Goudan?” Song Shuhang asked.

“No. This is because I’ve come into contact with this technique before I vindicated my Dao. I have relevant memories.”

After reading the opening chapter of Scholar Fishstomach’s technique, Father Goudan dug out the relevant memories from the depths of his memory.

“The origin of this technique is even older than mine. I did not expect it to be passed down until now… It’s a miracle,” Father Goudan said.

He had always thought this technique would be lost in ancient times.

From the ancient era until now, many new inheritances would be born every once in a while, and many inheritances would be lost.

And this technique, which seemed the easiest to lose its inheritance, had actually been passed down until now.

Father Goudan couldn’t find a better word than ‘miracle.’

“Shuhang, you’re right. Back then, when my corresponding Wielder of the Will created the ‘Heavenly Dao Prison Space,’ it was very likely that he referenced this technique… Perhaps you should enter the Heavenly Dao Prison to study it. Do you want me to send you in?” Father Goudan asked.
