Clearly, he hadn’t even spoken these lines aloud at that time; they had only crossed his mind in silence.
Wait a minute, perhaps… maybe… was it because he was so shocked that he unintentionally vocalized the lines in his thoughts? Hence, the virtuous lamia recorded them in her lines library?
In any case, the virtuous lamia wasn’t bringing up this dialogue to flaunt a “Tyrant Speech” but to convey a crucial message—the external Heavenly Dao had already collapsed!
The golden-haired mechanical girl had remained within Song Shuhang’s Inner World all along. Upon her emergence, she found herself within the world of the golden lotus of Confucianism and hadn’t been in contact with the outer world. It was highly likely that she was unaware of the current state of the external Heavenly Dao.
The mechanical left eye of the golden-haired mechanical girl cast a cold glance at the virtuous lamia. She didn’t trust her one bit.
Then, she turned her head in the direction from which the White Dragon was approaching. Her mechanical left eye’s pupil constricted as she observed a figure wearing a mask perched on the dragon’s tail.
Despite the mask concealing their face, the figure’s physique and the benevolent aura they exuded seemed oddly familiar.
“Manager! Manager!” The golden-haired mechanical girl exclaimed joyfully. “Manager, I’m here!”
She clung to him like a drowning victim grasping at a lifeline.
In the airspace above, even though Song Shuhang didn’t have a concrete plan in mind, he maintained an appearance of calm assurance. He softly reassured, “Don’t be afraid, I’m here. You’ll be safe.
The golden-haired mechanical girl nodded in happiness, even though it baffled everyone why she would place her trust in someone who had once fatally wounded her.
“Strange aura,” the metallic voice emanating from the golden-haired mechanical girl’s body sounded puzzled. She could faintly sense the presence of the core reactor in Song Shuhang’s body, but upon closer examination, it didn’t seem to be her core reactor. Furthermore, there was no connection between the core and her.
“Trap her… Don’t allow her to escape to the outer world,” Song Shuhang cautioned.
Don’t let her Dao Transformation dissipate.
The virtuous lamia waved her fingers, and golden threads descended from her fingertips, covertly weaving a vast net around the golden-haired mechanical girl. This was the web of virtue.
“Spatial Imprisonment!” The White Dragon extended her small claws and sealed the space in the vicinity. While the world of the golden lotus inherently possessed the power to imprison space, the golden-haired mechanical girl, as a ‘Dao artifact’ carrier, might possess unique abilities to breach the world of the golden lotus. So, precautions had to be taken.
Simultaneously, the White Dragon unfurled her tail to release Song Shuhang and his pendants.
Fairy Creation took a step forward, her hand sweeping to conjure another 10,000-word ‘abridged version of Confucian texts’ to form a circular sealing array around the golden-haired mechanical girl.
Black-skinned Soft Feather silently supported Song Shuhang and gently lowered him from the sky.
“Who are you?” The golden-haired mechanical girl’s mechanical left eye stared at Song Shuhang.
“It’s the manager!” she responded in a girlish voice tro her own question.
As a result, Song Shuhang once again missed a valuable opportunity to recite his lines.
“You have something I want, ” the golden-haired mechanical girl declared. She wasn’t certain if the core within the ‘manager’ was hers, but she was currently lacking a core. So… regardless of its ownership, taking it and making up for her loss was definitely the right move!
Having said that, she suddenly reached out and aimed for Song Shuhang. Her fingers transformed into claws that closed in with force!
Seeing this, Song Shuhang remained unperturbed. Knowing that the core reactor was the heart of the Dao artifact, he had taken precautions to prevent any advantage on her part.
“Skeleton!” Song Shuhang called out lightly and squeezed out the spiritual energy that had recently recovered within his weakened body.
A half-skeleton giant materialized beside him to shield him and Soft Feather at its core.
Subsequently, the half-skeleton supported itself with both hands on the ground and swiftly moved away.
After a considerable distance, the half-skeleton came to a halt and observed the golden-haired mechanical girl from afar.
At the same time, Song Shuhang inspected the status of his golden core reactor.
When the golden-haired mechanical girl reached out and clenched her fist, there was a slight response from the core reactor. However, it was merely a faint reaction that had no further developments.
Moreover, upon closer examination, even that slight response did not seem to be the mechanical girl’s control over the core reactor. Instead, it appeared as if the core reactor had been stimulated and instinctively moved. It was akin to…
the reaction of wanting to devour the other party upon encountering a delectable meal?
Could it be that it wished to consume the existence of the Heavenly Dao Ball?
Better not to risk it.
The Heavenly Dao Ball was enigmatic and unpredictable, and Song Shuhang was unwilling to let its existence enter his small Dantian for fear of any mishaps.
“At present, it seems that the other party is no longer capable of controlling the core reactor merged with me, ” Song Shuhang contemplated while floating within the half-skeleton.
However, he remained cautious. He still had three layers of protection for the core reactor!
“Huh?” The golden-haired mechanical girl attempted to grasp Song Shuhang a few more times, but there was still no response.
Consequently, the golden-haired mechanical girl fell into silence.
Had she malfunctioned?
Meanwhile, on Spirit Butterfly Island across the sea, the Celestial Thearch furrowed her brow. She reached out and firmly suppressed Song Shuhang’s steel clone.
Moments later, a bright smile graced her face.
However, no matter how many backup plans he had, it was futile!
The Heavenly Dao had already collapsed, and the outcome was sealed.
After her laughter, her expression momentarily revealed pain. This was the sensation of death transmitted from her original body, the ghost spirit Soft Feather.
“Are you watching Tyrant Speech, Soft Feather?” the Celestial Thearch quickly surmised the answer.
Naturally, she had watched the speech.
As the ruler of the Heavenly Court, this level of pain meant nothing to her. However, she lacked Song Shuhang’s tolerance for pain. To her, pain was simply pain, and she couldn’t derive any enjoyment from it.
Compared to Senior Song, Soft Feather was even more challenging to handle. The Celestial Thearch rubbed her temples and heaved a long sigh.
“Capture failed, change of plan…” the golden-haired mechanical girl emerged from her silence.
If cunning wouldn’t suffice, then she would resort to brute force!
She will seize it forcefully!
She began to shift her form, and a liquid-metal-like ‘blood’ started to flow through her body. This was the part of the Heavenly Dao Sphere she had retrieved from the Still Pond of Wisdom.
In the blink of an eye, the golden-haired mechanical girl’s body began to melt and transformed entirely into a liquid-metal state as she activated the ‘Liquid
Golden Body Technique.’
Opposite her, Song Shuhang’s body seemed to react to a stimulus and transformed. The Mutated Steel Hands Technique, Scholarly Indestructible Body of the Buddha, and Holy Ape Dragon Power Technique successively appeared, turning his body into a pitch-black metallic form.
Immediately after, he activated the Liquid Golden Body Technique he had just learned.
Song Shuhang’s body also entered the state of liquid metal.
The golden-haired mechanical girl stared at Song Shuhang in confusion.
The liquid Song Shuhang calmly gazed back at her.
“Who exactly are you?” The golden-haired mechanical girl couldn’t help but ask once again..
