Chapter 2587: But You’re Single

As long as he willed it, the world would tremble beneath him!

On average, a qualified ruler of the Netherworld experiences the desire to destroy the world every three seconds and entertains the thought of annihilating all living beings every ten seconds.

“No, my thought process is skewed again. I’m supposed to save the world,” Song Shuhang massaged his temples and sighed. “The authority of the ruler of the Netherworld is like an expansion bolt; once it’s driven into the core, it begins to expand within the body and make it incredibly difficult to resist.”

Father Goudan countered, “Don’t lay all the blame at the ruler of the Netherworld’s feet. The ruler’s authority merely acts as an amplifier. A good portion of your hubris is on you.”

Song Shuhang was at a loss for words.

“I’ll temporarily entrust the four Dragonbeasts to you. During this period, you can direct them as you see fit. Whether you can earn their true allegiance in the future depends on your methods,” Striped Dragon Two added—after all, they were originally meant to be inherited by Cheng Lin, so passing them to Cheng Goudan made no difference.

The four dragons offered Song Shuhang a friendly smile.

They had been in deep slumber since the ancient times and had not had the chance to receive Song Shuhangs ‘Tyrannical Scholar’s Pregnancy Lecture’ in the Netherworld. Therefore, they lacked an understanding of this Hegemon Tyrannical Song.

Like the mortal world, the speech of an eighth-ranked Demon Sage in the Netherworld also features a ‘broadcast’ function. For various reasons, those who couldn’t tune into the live broadcast of the Demon Sage’s speech could catch the ‘rebroadcast’ later.

However, similar to the mortal realm, the ‘rebroadcast’ of the Demon Sage’s speech was time-limited. Generally, the duration of the ‘rebroadcast’ in the Netherworld matched the duration of the ‘Unknown to All’ effect.

At this point, the four dragons speculated about Song Shuhangs identity, pondering whether he was the reincarnation of Striped Dragon Two or a special descendant of his.

Regardless of the scenario, they deemed it worth their loyalty.

After the four dragon beasts had introduced themselves and gotten acquainted with Song Shuhang, the acting ruler of the Netherworld, the three ninth-ranked demons, each resembling an eyeball, stepped forward in Leading the way, the Six-Eyed Gentleman Demon, followed by Long-Eyed Island and the Supreme Eye Demon, reported their names in turn.

“Housekeeper, Divine Eye Li, at your service,” the Six-Eyed Gentleman bowed to Song Shuhang.

“Cook, Supreme Eye Demon,” the collective of eyeballs introduced themselves next.

“Coachman, Gaze Island,” the island demon voiced in a deep and resonant tone.

Contrasting with Striped Dragon Two’s approach, Senior Three-Eyed’s subordinates held more familial titles.

After introducing themselves, the Six-Eyed Gentleman Li summarized, “We three, summoned by the ruler’s call) shall adhere to all the ruler’s commands.”

Senior Three-Eyed, secretly watching from afar and unable to show himself, had the Six-Eyed Housekeeper step in on his behalf.

Just like Striped Dragon Two, Senior Three-Eyed, in high spirits, temporarily transferred the three eyeball demons to Song Shuhang.

The seven ninth-ranked demons, fully committed, were ready to serve at

Song Shuhangs behest.

“Give them your commands,” Father Goudan suggested.

Song Shuhang nodded and declared, “l need you to head to the seven passages between the Netherworld and Earth. Announce my decree there and forcibly return any demons of the Netherworld attacking the passages, or dispose of them as you see fit.”

The demons attacking the passages between the Netherworld and Earth were clearly being provoked and misled. To prevent these demons from causing chaos, Song Shuhang required the ninth-ranked demons to forcibly return them to the Netherworld or eliminate them on the spot.

The seven ninth-ranked demons bowed slightly, “As per the ruler’s wish.”

“After you’ve announced my decree, remain near the passages and prepare to enter the mortal realm. Subsequently, I need you to enter the mortal realm to deal with a group of malevolent spirits, creating obstacles for the Demon Sea Grand Plan’ of the Demon Sect,” Song Shuhang instructed.

At that moment, the Six-Eyed Gentleman demon pondered briefly before reminding, “Ruler, if we ninth-ranked demons enter the mortal realm together, it’s likely we’ll attract the ‘heavenly punishment.’ Should we consider taking turns entering the mortal realm?”

“There’s no need for excessive concern. The Heavenly Dao has already collapsed, and the restrictions on the Netherworld by the mortal realm will be significantly weakened for a short period,” Striped Dragon Two stated slowly.

“The Heavenly Dao collapsed?” The seven ninth-ranked demons, having slept

from the ancient era to the present, were dumbfounded for quite some time, struggling to grasp the situation. If the Heavenly Dao had collapsed, what did that make this Ruler Tyrannical Song?

“However, to be cautious… Before you venture into the mortal realm, I’ll add a layer of protection,” Father Goudan interjected.

After speaking, its dragon whiskers gently swayed, and seven sealing formations descended upon the seven ninth-ranked demons, suppressing their auras to around the eighth rank…

Father Goudan’s seal, somewhat akin to the Great Northern Emperor’s seal used on Senior Turtle, targeted only the aura and did not restrict the demons’ actual power. With the collapse of the Heavenly Dao, certain measures could be relaxed, avoiding undue seriousness. As long as appearances were maintained, the mechanism of the ‘Heavenly Dao’ would not be triggered.

“Go, proceed to all spatial passages, and proclaim my will to the beings of the mortal world and the demons of the Netherworld!” Song Shuhang dramatically raised his arm, elegantly lifting the long robe he wore.

The seven ninth-ranked demons accepted the command, opened a spatial gate, and stepped through it. Guided by the ‘Authority Mission Function of the Netherworld Ruler,’ they headed towards the coordinates of the passage between the mortal world and Earth.

The demons below also dispersed, carrying the decree of the Netherworld Realm ruler to various parts of the Netherworld.

Moments later, tranquility returned to the entire wilderness.

“Father Goudan, was my last pose cool?” Song Shuhang inquired.

Striped Dragon Two was rendered speechless.

Due to pride, it couldn’t immediately revert the dao name back from ‘Cheng Goudan.’ Now, every time Song Shuhang addressed it as ‘Father Goudan,’ it felt a pang in its liver.

Was there a way to change Cheng Goudan back without losing face?

For instance, by devising a way for Tyrannical Song to make a minor contribution, it could gracefully step down.

“Haha, Father Goudan, what an apt name. Great job, little friend Song, truly impressive,” the three-eyed youth sipped his tea, looking at the eyeball butler lying in a pool of blood, with a radiant smile.

Just the name ‘Father Goudan’ could keep him amused for a year.

“But… My Lord, Cheng Goudan… She was the daughter of the Striped Dragon Ruler… And you, you don’t have a daughter… You’re single…” the eyeball butler in the pool of blood uttered with a trembling voice.

Even if its body was thoroughly pierced by scissors, even if it was bleeding profusely, even if it was in hell, it would still use its decaying voice to burst its master’s bubble of inflated pride..
