With his five senses taken away and his divine sense suppressed, Song Shuhang could not sense any of the changes occurring around him.He couldn’t tell whether or not the heavenly tribulation was over, nor could he tell whether or not his seniors were safe.
The only thing he knew was that he, himself, was still alive for now.
“Everyone, please survive,” Song Shuhang prayed in a low voice.
The seniors of the Nine Provinces Number One Group had been drawn into the Group Tribulation Transcension Space mainly because of his ‘QR code Golden Core Composition’ and Dragon Network Authority. Therefore… if something untoward were to happen to any of the seniors, he would regret it for his entire life.
Lady Onion raised her head and looked up.
The light of the heavenly tribulation passed through a small gap in Song Shuhang’s ‘smoky body’, shining down on them.
Lady Onion used her skill to wrap everyone up as much as she could. However, she had no idea whether or not this was even of any use.
“At this time, I can only pray,” Lady Onion murmured. Then, she closed her eyes, and fell unconscious.
Her strength was simply too low. The main reason she’d been able to hold on inside the ‘Group Tribulation Transcension Space’ for so long was the Nine Virtues Phoenix Saber.
Now, she had finally reached her limit.
The Nine Virtues Phoenix Saber let out a low cry. It floated up, gently supporting Lady Onion.
When Lady Onion closed her eyes, Soft Feather, who was sitting on Doudou not far away, slowly opened her eyes.
The members of the Nine Provinces Number One Group had been deprived of their five senses, and even their divine sense was suppressed. Moreover, at this moment, none of them were able to move, just like when time had ‘stopped’ a while back.
As Soft Feather opened her eyes, she struggled a bit, causing all the green onion sprouts that had wrapped around her to fall off. She then leaped gently, jumping off Doudou and landing gracefully.
Soft Feather softly said, “The timing is just right. Although over 1,000 years have passed, my memory did not fail me.”
She looked around, staring at the familiar seniors of the Nine Provinces Number One Group, at Lady Onion, at the fluffy Doudou, and at the smoky Song Shuhang.
Song Shuhang’s constant prayers filled her ears. “Please don’t let any mishaps happen to anyone, please.”
“Senior Song, I have received your wishes.” Soft Feather narrowed her eyes. She then reached out her hand, gently lifted the hair around her ear, and laughed.
Afterward, she strutted her slender legs, and walked towards where Senior True Monarch Ancient Lake Temple was located.
If… the past is changed, how different will the future be? Just how big will the butterfly effect be?
Changing the past feels a lot like seeking death.
“But I like it regardless,” said Soft Feather. She came to True Monarch Ancient Lake Temple, and said, “Over his life, Senior Song has had several great regrets. Among them… was what took place in this Group Tribulation Transcension Space.”
Although there were Skylark’s long hair, Song Shuhang’s own pseudo-eternity mode, and Lady Onion’s skill shielding everyone, in this Soft Feather’s memory, this ‘group heavenly tribulation’ did not go too well.
True Monarch Ancient Lake Temple, Vice-Island Master Tian Tianwei, and Immortal Master Copper Trigram—these three seniors had an accident.
For True Monarch Ancient Lake Temple, it was due to having tested the tribulation with his eight-armed Buddha when he made contact with Invisible Death earlier. Although he had been rescued by Lady Onion with the Nine Virtues Phoenix Saber, the heavenly tribulation left a mark on him at that time. And when the light of the tribulation truly reached him, even with the protection of Skylark’s long hair, Song Shuhang’s pseudo-eternity smoke, and Lady Onion’s green onion sprouts, True Monarch Ancient Lake Temple still failed to survive this calamity.
For Vice-Island Master Tian Tianwei, it was because of the damage to her soul which had yet to recover.
And for Immortal Master Copper Trigram, it appeared that there was something wrong with his primordial soul as well…
“Then, the first is Senior Ancient Lake Temple.” Soft Feather reached out and touched True Monarch Ancient Lake Temple, the ‘path of time’ working between her fingers. With a touch, the invisible mark on True Monarch Ancient Lake Temple disappeared via ‘Time Reversal’.
With the mark of the heavenly tribulation gone, True Monarch Ancient Lake Temple could survive the tribulation as smoothly as the other seniors of the Nine Provinces Number One Group.
For Soft Feather, this was also the easiest hidden danger to solve.
“Please survive, everyone please get through this heavenly tribulation,” Song Shuhang still prayed in a low voice.
“Yes, yes, yes, everyone will survive,” Soft Feather responded with a smile. Then, she went to Vice-Island Master Tian Tianwei.
Vice-Island Master Tian Tianwei’s primordial soul was damaged during the ‘Heavenly Field Island’ incident.
Soft Feather stretched out her hands, and quickly made a series of complicated hand seals. A total of seven seals were formed in her hands, and fell into the hands of Vice-Island Master Tian Tianwei.
The runes transformed into long handcuffs, with one end connected to Vice-Island Master Tian Tianwei, while the other end was connected to Island Master Tian Tiankong.
Soft Feather said, “This should do it.”
The cultivation technique that Island Master Tian Tiankong and Vice-Island Master Tian Tianwei practiced was passed down on Heavenly Field Island from generation to generation. Soft Feather only needed to connect the two together and activate the special cultivation technique between them, and by doing so, Vice-Island Master Tian Tianwei could use Island Master Tian Tiankong to temporarily overcome the damage of her own soul and survive this tribulation.
“The last is Senior Copper Trigram.” When Soft Feather came to Copper Trigram, she stretched out her hand, and laid it on his mask. “Right, at this time, should I lift this mask off and have a look at Senior Copper Trigram’s real face?”
In this Soft Feather’s memory, the mystery of Immortal Master Copper Trigram’s real gender and face had become a mystery that the Nine Provinces Number One Group had never been able to solve.
Now was a good opportunity to discover the truth.
However, if I were to lift Senior Copper Trigram’s mask now, wouldn’t it be the same as taking advantage of someone who’s in trouble?
Soft Feather said, “But taking advantage of others is what I like doing the most!”
The palm of her hand lit up, and she branded Immortal Master Copper Trigram’s mask.
Subsequently, a beautiful pattern appeared on the mask, adding a sense of beauty to it.
“Well, whatever. I feel that if I were to take off your mask now, it’d be a lot less interesting, and it would lose the sense of accomplishment when your true face is revealed.” Soft Feather retracted her hands, placing them on her hips. “I feel like it would be best to have Senior Copper Trigram take it off in front of everyone on his own. That way, it would be a lot more fulfilling.”
Song Shuhang muttered, “Please let the senior’s primordial souls be safe. And please let Doudou, Little Yinzhu, and Soft Feather be safe as well.”
“Yup, I couldn’t be safer.” Soft Feather stretched her body. “Now, it’s time for me to go. I look forward to seeing what changes will happen in the future… Will things change? Or will this lead to a new, different future?”
Soft Feather leaped slightly again, landing back on Doudou’s body.
She rubbed her face on Doudou’s puffed-out and fluffy fur, looking very happy.
Afterward, she closed her eyes again. “Goodbye.”
Song Shuhang had a nightmare, or maybe it was an inner demon.
In that nightmare, he saw True Monarch Ancient Lake Temple turning to ashes from the light of the ‘Invisible Death’. Immediately afterward, Vice-Island Master Tian Tianwei opened her eyes unwillingly, and was reduced to ashes as well. And then, Immortal Master Copper Trigram followed in their footsteps…
Song Shuhang opened his eyes sharply, and weakly shouted, “Nooo~”
Doudou’s voice rang in his ears. “Shuhang, that sure sounded quite sensual.”
