"Hmm, where should i start?" She hummed softly, as a spatial portal is being opened. The coordination set is a small pond in Ba Realm, also known as Ninth Heaven Will's world. With Heavenly Dao authority, the originally small and empty realm has become one of the most resourceful space in the myriad realms. Multiple cultivators are seen traversing here and there. searching for resources and materials. After learning of Ba Demon's good nature, the initial handful number of Shuhang's seniors' disciples and bold cultivators looking for their affinity has risen to thousands and thousands people, demons, quais, etc each day. Of course, Ba Song's hospitality isn't without a purpose; aside from thrilling and resource-rich spots (partly built for Soft Feather) for intermediate-level cultivators, a significant area of his realms are scenic locations suitable for tourists, families, lovers, or even sect-building. Right now, there's only one official sect resides here, Azure Water Pavilion, and his main labourers, Unbounded Demon Sect.

She briskly jumps to the other side and signals him to follow her with her hands on the back. They walks side-by-side as her voice softens: "It must have been a very, very long time ago. Back when I first gained consciousness, I was probably in the Heaven Will Sphere's laboratory. I was extremely lonely back then, passing the days in a daze, until suddenly, I sensed a consciousness. That consciousness was truly miraculous, I could tell it didn't belong to this spacetime"

Shuhang and cultivators watching livestream are taken aback from her shift in tone. He vaguely feels something is different. She has been affected by Soft Feather on a lot of aspects: for example, her trail of thought. They are just having their usual banter, then a few seconds later, it's as if she's about to confess. Normally, he'd cast it aside and teases her back, but right now his instinct's telling him to face this appropriately.

The Heaven Emperor steps closer, subtle melancholy settled in her eyes:

"After I was modified and thrown into the mortal realm by the Heaven Will Sphere, I was just a tool... like floating water, drifting wood with no purpose, no thoughts of my own. And when you stopped speaking, I felt like a salted fish, completely aimless," she murmured, raising her head as a faint trace of genuine grievance appeared on her face. "Luckily, when I was six years old, I felt your aura again. It gave me an anchor to hold onto. Even though you kept saying strange, inexplicable things, to me back then, you were my emotional support."

Shuhang listened in silence, the weight of her words are gradually sinking into his chest.

"Until later, when I reached the Fifth Stage and was preparing my Golden Core composition..." She looked straight into his eyes, a flicker of playful resentment dancing in her bright gaze. "...you finally responded to my voice for the first time."

Shuhang’s expression stiffened. A sudden, mortifying memory from his Dreamland experiences surfaced in his mind.

"And who could have guessed that you would fool my naive self into jumping off a cliff?" she said, staring at him intently.

Cultivators of the myriad realms are smart enough to realise the weight of this situation; just think about it, a woman dressed up neatly and invited a man to what's literally 'their' world. Even if it isn't the case, the circumstance really makes imagination runs wild, who can blame them.

"Youngsters nowadays are quite bold"

"..." This is Sixteen expressing her irritation.

"Darling!! We should ask Ba Song for a livestream on our anniversary. Let's the world witness our love!!" Jiang Ziyan excitedly shakes her husband.

"GO EXPLODE SHUHANG" His roommates exclaim, while Cao Moumou is having the same idea as the former commenter, but he quickly casts it aside - the fee for a broadcast is not exactly suitable for most cultivators.

The comment section doesn't exactly uproar when hearing this, rather, people exhale in relief. Turns out Ba Song has time travelled. This must be the reason why he can reach Ninth Stage in the span of a year, or why he can have nine Holy Seal, or why he can achieve Eternal with mortal body. Of course, this is just one of the few contributors, Shuhang's friends know it, the hidden monsters sense it, most cultivators across the myriad realms vaguely have a gist, but they refuse to elaborate further.

"That... that was an accident. After all, I didn't expect you would actually be able to hear me back then."

"However, Senior Song..." Fairy Heaven Emperor raised her head, a look of deep resentment in her eyes. "Do you know how panicked I was after that cliff jump when I couldn't feel your presence anymore? I thought you would appear again after a few years just like the first time. But even when I cultivated to Venerable and even manifested myself before the world, you still hadn't appeared. Back then, I even thought you were my inner demon, so i headed to research it. Even if you were my inner demon, I was determined to pull you out to keep me company!"

She leaned closer, her breath warm against his skin. "Until later, when Song Slow-witted joined us, I felt a trace of your aura. I was so thrilled. I thought a piece of you had been broken off during my cliff jump. But when I actually met him, I knew he wasn't you. That was when I finally realized... you were someone from the future."

In the NIne Provinces Group

Northern River True Lord: "@Ba Song, turn off the broadcast, everyone is watching"

Thrice Reckless Mad Saber: "DON'T YOU DARE TURN IT OFF!! Are you crazy, Northern River?! We're just getting to the good part!"

Thrice Reckless Mad Saber: "BA FEI!! Tell us how 'imperial' your night was"

Su Clan's Sixteen: "@Thrice Reckless Mad Saber Senior Thrice Reckless, your saber technique seems to have stagnated recently. Do you want to spar later? Luckily today i have something to do near your cave." She's seriously in a bad mood right now. She can't contact Shuhang at all. It is like someone or something is intercepting their connection. Is this Shuhang and Heaven Emperor's scheme? She knows him well, and trusts him to not do something as immoral as publicly cheating on her; this is why the Nine Provinces Group are quite casual about this, but maybe..

"Shuhang, you better not run" She smirks coldly, that smile of her is definitely affected by Bai Long Senior Sister. Meanwhile, our white dragon is flying around wildly next to Sixteen, appearing to be pondering deeply about something.

Soft Feather: "Wowwww! Senior Song’s secret time-travel romance with the Ancient Heaven Emperor is being broadcast live to the entire myriad realms! This is ten times better than normal movie plots! Senior Song, please keep talking, don't stop! Next time is my turn!"

Spirit Butterfly Sage: "DON'T YOU DARE!! THERE WON'T BE ANY NEXT TURN" His right hand is texting while his left is covering his chest. Ba Song truly is his nemesis. Soft Feather has spent more and more time at Shuhang's house at Baijing Street, his second daughter still drops by his Spirit Butterfly Island from time to time, but thinking about she mostly stay in that squirrel's shadow only hurt his heart even more. Now looking at his third daughter openly flirting with him on livestream, even with his harden Dao heart, he speaks calmly: "BA SONGG!!! I'LL KILL YOUR ASS!!!". Black and white Feather in her room lays down idly and continues watching the stream. This, too, is not their first time.

Dongfang Six: "My Lord Heavenly Dao, this story makes me teared up a little. She must has been waiting for eons, right? Shuhang you beast! You better take responsibility."

Dongfang Jingjue: "The current Heavenly Dao is Ba Song young friend and Bai Heaven Will, so essentially whom are you praying to?"

Immortal Master Copper Trigram: "Of course it has to be Senior Bai. But knowing him, this situation must be his interference"

"Nice work, Senior Bai" Thrice Reckless Mad Saber flaunters

"Nice work, Senior Bai +1" Northern River True Lord follows up

"Nice work, Senior Bai +2" from Immortal Master Copper Trigram

"Nice work, Senior Bai +3" from Dongfang Jingjue

"Nice work, Senior Bai +..."

Creation Dharma King: (voice chat)"Nice work, Senior Bai +27. Such a beautiful love story, I really want to sing for them..."

Most cultivators from Nine Provinces Group have reached Sixth Stage, but they still don't react in time. Dharma King is only banned 2 minutes later. The comment bulletin of the myriad realms is slightly less chaotic then one from Nine Provinces Group. mainly because the topic isn't that easily be swayed.

"Wait, wait a sec Heaven Emperor, can we move to somewhere else first? This space is still in experiment after all. Who knows what can happen"

Of course, this is just an excuse, poorly done to buy time. He and Senior Bai have been trying to reinforce spacial law of this dimension to fulfill Bai's need for speed; even if it's still in experiment stage, this space is at least 100 times more resilient than normal realms. It's like expecting the ground beneath you to be split apart, the chance is so small that it's not even worth mention. Ba Song plans to move to some scenic realms, hopefully making her limit her strength to an extend. After becoming a Transcendence, nothing can possibly damage him, well aside from Senior Bai. However, in daily life, he usually projects himself in Immortal-level vessel, so that he can still enjoy worldly pleasure, meaning he can still feel pain. And from personal experience, coaxing female cultivators while sight-seeing has a higher success rate. Of course, Heaven Emperor almost immediately realize his intention, even without face-reading. This is not their first time.

"Did Senior Song really think I was genuinely angry?" She looked at him with warm, playful eyes. "How silly. You ruined my grand plans so many times in the past. Did I ever once blame you? Why would I care about our small skit this time? Besides, back then wasn't even your true intention... though even if you really wanted to do such a thing, as long as you knew how to coax me and make me happy, serving myself up on a silver platter to you wouldn't be impossible. After all..."

"After all what..."

"After all, you are my Ba Fei" she strides smoothly and stands face-to-face with Shuhang, her voice dropping to an intimate whisper. "My most beloved concubine"

"HUHH!! WHY THEY ARE SO INTIMATE WITH EACHOTHER?!"

"..It's seems like their relationship is not like what we though, or rather.."

"Ba Song clearly had slaughtered Heaven Emperor, did he revive her?!"

"They looks way too comfortable with eachother for that, clearly there's something we don't know"

"Wait, is Ba Ru livestreaming his love-life in front of the myriad realms?!"

"Typical Ba Dragon, he really loves Profound Sage Sermon, huh"

"Did she just said 'serving herself up', I'm crying!"

Northern River True Lord: "...Hey, we're kinda losing the main point. Does Ba Song forget to turn off the broadcast?"

"Hehhh, Heaven Emperor, I'm getting embarrassed here. Since when did you like me that much?" Shuhang said teasingly. And really, he's a little curious about this. Ba Song doesn't really like to use his authority to find the answer; it feels like he's prying his friend's secret. What can be asked to be done should be asked to be done. "You are the supreme figure of the earlier age, and I have just cultivated for about.. 2 years including my time after transcending, so why you are always so comfortable with me?"

"2 years, huh.." Even though cultivators of the myriad realms are raising their head right now, they can't help but lifting it higher. One of the pair of the Ninth Heaven Will didn't try to cover his past, so the old monsters hidden in the dark had gathered information regarding his cultivation life to the extend that doesn't offend Ba Song. The result was now the myriad realms have another legacy that make their heart throbbing whenever they think about. The number of cultivators with liver pain has increased due to unknown reason, and Huang Shen Venerable's medicine company has seen more and more profit. He should be overjoyed, but this somehow worsen our mod's condition further.

The space around the disposable flying sword array warped violently, tearing a jagged rift through the fabric of the local realm. Even as the Transcendence, Song Shuhang was not immune to Bai Senior's wrath. He can't, and wouldn't dare oppose him, after all. After becoming Transcendence, Bai can't perform his speed to the maximum, so they had been trying to upgrade the spiritual energy barrier of the myriad realms, but Shuhang, as usual, can't control his mouth:

"Senior Bai, think carefully. What if the myriad realms will have more hit-and-runs ? Leniency leads to mortality. "

"Shuhang, i said, as Transcendence, no, even as a cultivator, your tolerance is far too low, you can't do something about your fear of speed? " Bai doesn't know whenever to laugh or cry

"Senior Bai, even if your hair flutter stronger, it's not like you can be married off any sooner.."

Before Shuhang can fully understood what he had just said, Senior Bai simply just give him a quiet smile, and Shuhang’s authority was momentarily oppressed. The result was the spatial collapse extracted a series of glowing, crystalline memory orbs from Shuhang’s consciousness - his most mortifying, embarrassing memories from his journey as a cultivator. Before Shuhang could seal space to retrieve them, they slipped through spatial fissures across the myriad realms. This is mostly due to Bai's interference, if it was just a spatial collaspe, how something this absurb, even with Bai's heaven-defying luck, can happen. Recently, no, since Shuhang has become a Transcendence, he has gone farther and farther on the way of courting death and haven't appeared to go back any time soon. This brat really think becoming Transcendence is truly free-from-rule, huh.

Desperate to protect his dignity, Shuhang activated the universal broadcast network built into the Heavenly Dao system, projecting his image across every world and every dimension.

"Fellow Daoists of the myriad realms," Shuhang’s voice echoed across the cosmos. "This is Ninth Heaven Will Ba Song. Due to a small... experimental error, several glowing crystals have been scattered across the myriad realms. If you find one, please quietly return them immediately through the Cultivation system and don't take a peek. Generous rewards will be provided. Please, DON'T TAKE A PEEK!!"

"One of the orbs flies into my cave, is this, ..BA SONG's MEMORY!!"

"Memory crystals of Lord Heaven Will?! Heavens, what kind of supreme secret could be inside?!"

"Could it be related to his Dao or the Heaven Will?"

Even the big shots now are using their own methods to collect them, some even fight to claim those for themselves. Those are Heaven Will's memories, who know what kind of information resides within them. Maybe it can help them develop their Dao, upgrade it, or even help them reach Ba Song's ridiculously high level of Dao. Other cultivators know their own place, no one is arrogant or stupid enough to try to snatch treasure from those old monsters, so they keep looking for bits and tips in the livestream.

"Could it be related to his legendary ascension?! Remember how he brutally slaughtered the ancient Heaven Emperor, exterminated her true form, and forcibly seize her world?!"

Fighting between Immortals can benefit lower level cultivators a lot, but most of them happen in middle of nowhere, and perceiving them can even hurt their mind and body. However, if they have the orb, that would be no problem since it would be like watching pre-recorded shows, whatever energy wave or cosmic rules won't affect them.

"Hey! As the Heaven Emperor's disciple and successor, I've told you lot a thousand times, Ba Song didn't kill my master! They're actually very good friends! Stop writing bloodthirsty fanfiction about them!"

"I can speak for him. They've been on surprisingly friendly terms for a long time."

"Yeah, but being 'good friends' just means Shuhang courts death in front of her more comfortably!"

Breathing a heavy sigh of relief, Shuhang wiped the sweat from his forehead, slumping against a spiritual pillar in his realm. He entirely failed to notice that the broadcast hasn't been turned off. The entire multiverse was still watching. The air in the array chamber trembles slightly, carrying the scent of absolute authority. The space ripples, and a graceful figure stepped through. A beautiful pair of legs in modern clothes extends forward and in her hand, she casually tossed one of Shuhang's glowing memory crystals.

"THE ANCIENT HEAVEN EMPEROR!! WHAT IS SHE DOING HERE?!"

"SHE HAS RETURNED FOR BLOOD! A MULTIVERSAL WAR IS ABOUT TO BREAK OUT!!!"

"..Are you blind? Can't you see how casual they are?" Golden Trigram facepalms

"Looking for this, my Lord Heaven Will?" the Heaven Emperor purred, her eyes dancing with quiet amusement as she tossed the crystal in her palm.

Shuhang scrambled to his feet, instantly dropping his composure: "Give it back! Don't you have a Heaven Palace to manage or something? Why do you always show up right when my life is falling apart?"

Even after passing Heaven Palace Dao and the palace itself to Golden Trigram, she would still come by sometime to help him. It can't be help, Golden Trigram doesn't have the same natural authoritive aura as the former emperor, and people are more willing to listen to her than him. He really wants to cry, but sheds no tear.

"Because watching the supreme Ninth Heaven Will panic over a few face-losing memories is infinitely more entertaining than handling administrative affairs," she chuckled softly, taking a step toward him.

"Show some respect to the Heaven Will!" Shuhang snapped, his stress hitting the roof as he gestured wildly. "You're an ancient ruler who dominated an entire era, Dadazi! Don't you have any dignity? You're acting like an unemployed, single auntie who has nothing better to do than loiter around!"

In the horrifying silence of the myriad realms, the Heaven Emperor chuckles softly then disappears. A split second later, a sword struck his chest, slamming the Ninth Heaven Will directly through the vast universe. She closed the distance in a flash of light, delivering a relentless, flurry-beatdown of sword strikes. Shuhang was bounced off spatial walls, dragged across the floor, and beaten senseless until the realm's dust settled over his battered body. Having thoroughly vented her irritation, the Heaven Emperor dusted off her sleeves, her serene composure returning as if nothing had happened.

"LORD!! HEAVEN DAO WAS JUST BEATEN TO A PULP?!"

"See my disciples, that why you don't talk about age with female cultivators"

"Pfff, unemployed auntie"

"..Okay, I know I said they were good friends, but being my master's friend does NOT grant immunity to that level of death-courting."

"Even after transcending for quite a time, why can't he change a little!! Doudou, give me the medicine"

Shuhang peeled himself out of the debris, groaning softly and coughing up dust. As he limped back into the chamber, rubbing his shoulders and dusting off, his gaze falls onto her attire. Youthful white blouse pairs with denim jeans, seems like living with Soft Feather has affected her sense of style. He notices her delicate fingernails lay a vivid, striking color of red that contrasts her porcelain-white hands. And on her ring finger rested an exquisite, gleaming ring. Looking at her full attire now, the meticulously styled hair, the casual clothes, the polished jewelry; this is a dress-up so deliberate it couldn't possibly have been prepared in a hurry. He knows she holds Time Dao, and has directly seen how she uses it in daily life, but still..

"Heh, Dadazi, this suits you really well, truly fits the Heaven Emperor" He shamelessly flatters. After living with Sixteen, Ye Si and very, very 'occasional', Soft Feather for quite a time, it is obvious he'd learn how to dissipate a woman's anger.

The Heaven Emperor lightly covered her mouth with her sleeve, hiding a breathtaking, realm-toppling smile. "Senior Song truly is a block of wood... only noticing now?"

"With that appearance, who is the lucky youngun' catch your eyes"

Her expression froze for a moment, then return to normal. She knows better than letting Shuhang leads the conversation, even Immortal can get blood pressure from talking with him. "I really have something important to talk with you.."

"It..it's not mine!! I don't do it!!"

Heaven Emperor: "..."

Soft Feather: "..."

Huang Shen Venerable: "..."

Golden Trigram Master: "..."

Nine Provinces Group: "..."

The myriad realms: "..."

They all unanimously agree that the current Heaven Will need a good beating. The former Heaven Emperor can't hold a straight face anymore, her right eye is twitching, and with cultivators' good eye sight, they can see her knuckles are whitening in real time.

Ok guys, i will upload this first to see your reaction, whatever do you think i need to change, just freely say it

>!I'll go first, after seeing shuhang and sixteen "livestream" together in the past (i dont remember the correct translation of the thing cultivators have to do after reach stage 8th), soft feather out-of-characterally had a sense of discomfort, and want to seek thrill with "Song senior", again!<
