The long “loading screen” for resurrection finally ended.

Song Shuhang’s body, shrouded in mist, began to solidify, starting from the skeleton and gradually reforming. At last, he was spared from rolling around in boredom on the “Heavenly Emperor’s Throne Two.”

“Hurry up and come back to life. Don’t get too absorbed in dying,” the Northern Emperor urged. “We’re waiting on you for the throne.”

After all, he had traded his “dignity” for the opportunity to use the Heavenly Emperor’s Throne, so naturally, he was particularly invested. To him, it wasn’t just a throne; it was his pride!

“Almost there, Northern Senior. Don’t worry!” Song Shuhang replied.

As he spoke, he opened his “Cultivator Chat System” to check his current status.

In the system, his personal status note, “Deader than dead,” began to fade…indicating that he was gradually exiting this “beyond dead” state.

Song Shuhang then scrolled down to the Heavenly Emperor Child’s status.

The Heavenly Emperor Child still showed no signs of resurrection; her status remained unchanged.

“The Heavenly Court has been reestablished, and yet she hasn’t revived. What exactly is she waiting for?”

Could it be that Da Da Zi’s resurrection cycle operates on a “millennial” scale?

Or perhaps, like White Dragon Sister and the Northern Emperor in the past, her revival requires some kind of catalyst, reaching a certain condition?

While he pondered, the left arm of his body was the first to fully regenerate—then, Senior White’s “Primordial Spirit Projection” reappeared in Song Shuhang’s left arm.

“Lucky left arm,” Song Shuhang chuckled.

Under the influence of Senior White’s luck attribute, even during resurrection, his left arm was the first to be completed.

Once his arm was restored, Song Shuhang, still enveloped in resurrection mist, stood up from the Heavenly Emperor’s Throne. He extended his lucky left arm and gently tapped the throne.

With a thought, he used his telekinesis to lift the “Heavenly Emperor’s Throne Two.”

“Go on, head over to Senior Daozi,” Song Shuhang willed, using his core world’s authority to relocate the Heavenly Emperor’s Throne.

…

…

Core World – Heavenly Court Fragment Area.

Daozi was enduring the power of heavenly lightning, synchronizing his being with the Heavenly Emperor’s Dao and the Heavenly Court fragments.

Once this synchronization was complete, and after reversing the “Heavenly Dao Sphere’s Self-Completion Plan,” Daozi and the Heavenly Emperor’s Dao would be fully integrated into the 8.5th Heavenly Dao!

At that moment, a magnificent and regal “Heavenly Emperor’s Throne” appeared in the air behind Daozi.

This throne carried the aura of the Heavenly Emperor Da Da Zi.

“Little Fairy Su, I need to speed up the ritual’s pace! Get ready to withstand the impact,” Daozi called out.

“I’m good,” Su Clan’s Sixteen replied calmly.

At that moment, she stood atop a scroll-like “Tribulation Array Diagram,” infused with her blade intent—a unique blend of “Art Dao and Blade Dao.”

After being guided by White Dragon Sister and tested by the Su Clan’s Immortal Fairy, the tribulation for advancing from Fifth to Sixth Stage was hardly a challenge for Su Clan’s Sixteen.

Now, Su Clan’s Sixteen had just completed the final stroke of her “Golden Core Composition.”

Her Golden Core Composition consisted of 108 images of herself, arranged in a pattern corresponding to the 108 heavenly stars.

These 108 Su Clan’s Sixteen images formed a “dragon” procession, resembling a New Year’s “dragon dance.”

And the last stroke for her Fifth-to-Sixth Stage Golden Core Composition depicted the eyes of this dragon.

This was a true “dotting the eyes” moment.

However, these “dragon eyes” were quite unusual.

Though they were dragon pupils, upon closer inspection, one could discern the aura of “great maternal love” within them.

“Senior, go ahead and speed up. Don’t worry about me,” Su Clan’s Sixteen added.

Truth be told…if it weren’t for Daozi Senior’s ritual effects, Su Clan’s Sixteen might have already stepped in to seal the heavenly lightning, capturing it as ingredients for Song Shuhang’s “Heavenly Tribulation Feast.”

Below, Daozi smiled and nodded.

He could tell that Su Clan’s Sixteen was completely at ease during her tribulation—despite the fact that the heavenly tribulation had been enhanced.

Daozi estimated that the real combat strength of this Su Clan’s little fairy had already surpassed the Fifth Stage, reaching the Sixth Stage. Moreover, she possessed true dragon blood, which could allow her to double her strength in critical moments.

This wave of heavenly tribulation was indeed no threat to her.

Another genius, with potential no less than the 13 Tribulation Immortals of the Confucian Sect.

“Then, once I accelerate the ritual, you should also seize the moment. Aim to expand your Golden Core Spiritual Lake to its maximum upon entering the Sixth Stage,” Daozi advised.

And this was just one of the perks.

The real reward was yet to come. If he successfully became the 8.5th Heavenly Dao, Su Clan’s Sixteen would gain boundless merit.

The power of merit is vital for cultivators, as evident in Tyrant Song!

After the reminder, Daozi took a deep breath.

Then…he slowly sat on the Heavenly Emperor’s Throne!

Daozi’s style was that of a Confucian scholar, which clashed with the grandeur of the throne, but this didn’t hinder the progress of the plan.

Nor did it disrupt the resonance between the “Heavenly Emperor’s Dao” within him and the throne.

With the acquisition of the Heavenly Emperor’s Throne, the “8.5th Heavenly Dao Plan” surged forward as if a race car had suddenly hit the nitrous.

About thirty breaths later…

“It’s triggered!” the Golden Linglong Fairy exclaimed joyfully.

By harnessing the power of the heavenly tribulation, Daozi had fully activated the “Heavenly Emperor’s Dao + Reconstructed Heavenly Court,” finally triggering the backup mechanism left by the former “Heavenly Dao Fat Ball.”

The remnants of the Heavenly Dao began to operate autonomously—until a new Heavenly Dao was appointed, all mechanisms left by Fat Ball remained effective!

This was the crux of the 8.5th Heavenly Dao Plan.

“Everyone, focus all your energy on the formation!” Golden Linglong ordered.

Daoist Chixiao stroked his long beard, channeling all his energy into the statue.

The Eight-Armed Ancient Outer Demon, the Grandmaster of the Vajra Temple, and the Northern Emperor followed suit.

Simultaneously, a portal opened behind the Golden Linglong Fairy.

Several figures of ancient Heavenly Court’s Immortals appeared—these were the friends of the Heavenly Emperor’s Child, whom Song Wood had rescued from her “Dao.”

These liberated Immortals still needed to go through the process of “dying once + reincarnating,” and were currently in a golden space.

Among them was the true body of “Feng Yi Qin Zhu,” who had already died once and was now in a state of resurrection like Song Shuhang.

The power of the ancient Heavenly Court’s Immortals gathered, filling in the gaps in Daozi and the Heavenly Court.

In the void, the “Self-Completion Mechanism” of the Heavenly Dao Fat Ball was finally fully activated.

“It’s time!” Golden Linglong flicked her sleeve.

A series of doppelgangers, crafted using her Immortal Dao + the “Die Once Imprint” of the Heavenly Court’s Immortals, were summoned.

These doppelgangers would take the tribulation on behalf of the Heavenly Court’s Immortals.

As she released these doppelgangers, all the worlds trembled.

All cultivators felt something.

Someone ascended to immortality?

Who could it be?

Is it Tyrant Song?
