Chapter 2570: Not Quite the Right Field

Dragons, as they aged, often found themselves lost in memories of the past.

Striped Dragon Two, corresponding to the third Celestial Dao, had been away from the Netherworld Realm for far too long… so long that it had almost forgotten what the Netherworld Realm looked like.

It was precisely because of this that the sudden transmission of information about the current state of the Netherworld Realm from Song Shuhang had thrown it off balance, even causing it to accidentally knock over the immortal tea it was brewing.

But now, with Song Shuhang as the temporary ruler of the Netherworld, perhaps it could revisit its old stomping grounds.

With the Heavenly Dao collapsing and the new Heavenly Dao yet to emerge, it was a rare opportunity.

At the thought, Striped Dragon Two was intrigued.

“Help? Senior, you want to assist me in managing the Netherworld Realm?” Song Shuhang asked.

Striped Dragon Two responded, “Yes, if you have any questions about managing the Netherworld Realm, I can lend a hand. After all, I once held sway as a ruler of the Netherworld, so I’m quite familiar with the business.”

“If you’re willing to help me, Senior, I certainly welcome it with open arms,” Song Shuhang replied. “But 1 must say upfront… I don’t have the funds to pay you for your assistance, Senior.”

The cost of enlisting the help of a ruler of the Netherworld Realm was too steep. Song Shuhang knew he definitely couldn’t afford it. Well, except for Senior White Two, who sometimes lent a hand for just a joke.

“No need for payment, and there’s not much about you that catches my eye anyway,” Striped Dragon Two scoffed. “If I’m feeling generous, I might even throw in a few karmic favors.’

A genuine smile spread across Song Shuhangs face. “Welcome, Senior Striped

Dragon, to offer your guidance.”

“Wait a moment. Let me see if I can utilize the power of Cheng Lin to project a portion of my consciousness to your side. Be careful not to hinder my consciousness projection later,” Striped Dragon Two replied via voice function this time.

Having carefully analyzed that Song Shuhangs temporary reign as ruler of the Netherworld borrowed power from Cheng Lin’s fragment, which was connected to its own, Striped Dragon Two realized it could potentially project its consciousness to the Netherworld through Song Shuhangs serene song.

“Welcome back to the Netherworld, Senior Striped Dragon,” Song Shuhang said with a faint smile, detecting a hint of urgency in Striped Dragon Two’s voice.

Atter all, the Netherworld Realm was Senior Striped Dragon Two’s old stomping grounds.

In the Netherworld, Song Four suddenly extended his hand and pointing towards the sky.

The White Dragon asked, “What’s up? Shuhang, what did you find?”

Song Four shook his head while replying with a serious expression, “It’s nothing. I’ll set up an antenna to receive the projection from another senior.” “Senior? Who?” Pavilion Master Chu asked while puzzled.

“It’s Senior Striped Dragon Two,” Song Four replied. “He’s offering to assist me in managing the Netherworld Realm. Since I lack experience in this area, having Senior Striped Dragon Two’s expertise for free is quite touching.” Pavilion Master Chu was dumbfounded.

Song Shuhang had been entrusted with the responsibility of managing the Netherworld Realm by the current ruler and was now enlisting the help of several previous rulers for free labor. Song Shuhang certainly knew how to make the most of a situation.

Eventually, Song Four’s arm slightly lit up while revealing a dragon-shaped mark

Following that, the phantom of a one-legged striped dragon appeared behind Song Four, akin to a spell similar to Slow-Witted Songs Giant Skeleton.

After Striped Dragon Two appeared, it first surveyed its surroundings, then waved its dragon beard at everyone. “Hey there, folks. I’m Striped Dragon Two… Bah!”

Having been referred to as ‘Striped Dragon Two’ by Song Shuhang for so long, it had accepted the title without question.

“Senior Striped Dragon Two, please be mindful to conceal your aura. We don’t want to disturb Senior White Two’s slumber,” Song Four said sternly with a straight face,

Striped Dragon Two was speechless.

Glancing at Senior White Two, sleeping within the sealing pillar, it quietly restrained its aura to the lowest level. After all, Song Shuhangs temporary reign as ruler of the Netherworld was due to the slumbering White. If this White Ruler were to awaken, Song Shuhangs temporary authority would end and thwart its plans to return home.

After concealing its aura, Striped Dragon Two couldn’t help but steal a few more glances at White Two.

Ever since it had met with Sage Monarch White from the main world, Striped Dragon Two had gathered relevant information and even attempted to deduce the relationship between the White Ruler of the Netherworld and Sage White of the main world.

“After the collapse of the Eighth Celestial Dao, Ruler White, corresponding to the Seventh Celestial Dao and ruler of the Netherworld Realm, remained rooted in the Netherworld Realm. The schemes and methods of the Seventh Celestial Dao are truly terrifying,” Striped Dragon Two sighed.

Song Shuhang nodded in agreement. After all, Senior White was a special existence who was nearly transcendent.

“Let’s depart from the world of the black lotus and head to the Netherworld Realm. You should have already received information about the current state of the Netherworld Realm. Do you have any matters you wish to attend to? I’ll assist you from the sidelines,” Striped Dragon Two said.

“l have a few urgent matters to address,” Song Shuhang replied. “When I received the authority of the ruler of the Netherworld, I’ve already wasted two days… We can’t afford further delay.”

“Tell me about them,” Striped Dragon Two said.

Song Shuhang continued, “Firstly, Senior, you should have received the information already. There’s a group of Netherworld demons attacking the passage between the Netherworld and the real world. They must have been instigated in secret, perhaps by the previous ruler of the Netherworld, Fat Ball. I want to pacify them.”

“Secondly, I need to choose a suitable area in the Netherworld Realm and establish it as the foundation for the Limitless Demon Sect’s plan to restore the Demon Sea Realm. We need to set up some contingencies so that when the

Limitless Demon Sect successfully opens the Demon Sea, we can ensure control of the sea remains in our hands.’

“Additionally, the incident involving some Xie Wang in the main world is also related to the Limitless Demon Sect. I want to see if I can mobilize a group of Netherworld demons to the main world to eliminate the Xie Wang. However, I’m concerned that once the Netherworld demons arrive in the main world, they may become uncontrollable and end up causing more trouble.”

The first task was relatively straightforward. With the authority of the ruler of the Netherworld Realm, managing a small group of demons in the Netherworld Realm wasn’t difficult.

The second task was more challenging. Selecting a suitable area in the Netherworld Realm and setting up contingencies… this task didn’t quite align with Song Shuhangs mechanical design major.

The third task could be accomplished through the ‘mission function.’ Controlling the movements of the demons after they arrived in the main world was the headache.

“Demon Sea? Someone wants to open up the Demon Sea in the Netherworld?”

Striped Dragon Two clenched its claw in a foul mood..
