Chapter 2376: Unknown White 20-30 Missing 23
2376 Unknown White 20-30 Missing 23
In that ordinary dream of lions and tigers, Song Lion's right front claw was brutally bitten off by a ruthless tiger.
Song Shuhang was startled and woke up abruptly.
As he opened his eyes, the ice covering his body rapidly melted away and left behind cold, gem-like crystals.
The dark-skinned Soft Feather, after a brief thought, picked up some of the larger ice crystals with the thought they might come in handy in the future.
"Hey? Where are we?" Song Shuhang asked in confusion.
"We're inside the newly transformed right claw of your Thirty-Three Divine Beasts' Combined Magical Treasure," replied the sword.
Song Shuhang brushed off the remaining ice crystals from his body and inquired, "What happened after I passed out?"
"It's a long story."
"We were swallowed by a ball-shaped ancient god," informed the black-skinned Soft Feather.
"Your Combined Magical Treasure has undergone an upgrade," added the sword.
"You were sent to the neighboring city to battle the ancient gods," chimed in Pavilion Master Chu while looking somewhat dazed.
Song Shuhang was left speechless. It seemed that a lot had happened while he was unconscious.
"Is everyone okay?" Song Shuhang extended his hand, and his entire body emitted a virtuous light that illuminated the entire space.
Black-skinned Soft Feather, Heart Demon Scarlet Heaven Sword, Fellow Daoist Stone Tablet, Dumb Hair Chu, Defiant Whale Fairy, Fairy Creation, Lady Onion, and the hamster in his pocket—everyone was present.
However, along with Song Shuhang and his companions, there was also a human head floating in the space.
It was a figure with hair that reached the ground and a shimmering effect.
"Senior White Three?" Song Shuhang's heart skipped a beat.
The figure turned to look at Song Shuhang but remained silent.
After a while, it extended its hand and pressed it against Song Shuhang's waist.
"Again?" Song Shuhang was startled. It seemed like he was about to lose consciousness again.
Senior White Three's palm was as cold as before, but this time, it didn't transmit strength. Instead, it pressed against a mark on Song Shuhang's waist.
It was the Super Learning God System that Senior White had created in the main world.
Senior White and the other two Whites seemed to be extracting information from it. Their spell creation ideas were very similar, and they shared many similarities.
Back when Fellow Daoist Stone Tablet, the creator of White Wielder of the Will, had read information from Song Shuhang's Academic Genius System, the situation had been similar.
Senior White Three was no exception.
A moment later, Senior White Three opened his eyes and said, "Return Number 23 to me."
Song Shuhang was puzzled. "Number 23?"
"Give Number 23 back to me," Senior White Three repeated.
Song Shuhang suddenly recalled the name 'Unknown White 23′ that had appeared on his friend list when he added the Golden Core using the QR code.
A suspicion arose in his mind.
At the same time, he reached out and displayed the Golden Core QR code on his palm and handed it to Senior White Three.
Senior White Three lowered his head and examined the QR code of the Golden Core. He remained silent for a moment before sending his mental energy upward.
"Ding! Unknown White 20-30 has added you as a friend. Friend list: Mysterious Friend."
Song Shuhang was left speechless.
So, Numbers 20-30 were looking for Number 23?
If taken literally, Senior White Three was composed of Numbers 20 to 30, but Number 23 was missing?
Was Number 23 the one who had left the lion phantom in his original dantian?
In other words, if they were separated, there could potentially be at least 30 similar Senior Whites?
Given the characteristics of the Thirty-Three Divine Beasts Technique, could there be 33 Senior Whites in total?
"Now, return Number 23 to me," Senior White Three urged, his gaze fixed on Song Shuhang.
Song Shuhang shook his head and explained, "Senior White, I don't know where your 23 went. In fact, he disappeared after our last encounter."
"In that case, I'll retrieve it myself," Senior White Three declared.
He reached out his hand and placed it on Song Shuhang's stomach.
A terrifying suction force emanated from his icy palm. Song Shuhang felt like his navel was about to be pulled out. But apart from that, he didn't experience anything else.
Unknown White 20-30, missing 23: "..."
He continued to apply suction, but there was no result.
After a while, he changed his approach.
A frigid energy surged directly into Song Shuhang's body from Senior White Three's hand.
Song Shuhang was familiar with this method!
His body didn't resist Senior White's energy, and the Thirty-Three Divine Beasts' Technique even activated automatically.
Soon, illusory figures began to coalesce around Song Shuhang's nascent soul.
Elephant, camel, cat, tiger, shark, eagle, rat demon, gem mink, wild boar, giant bear...
Ten figures in total, including the small black lion from earlier, appeared in an orderly fashion.
After the natal Nascent Soul, ten beast shadows appeared alongside the fat whale Golden Core and the seven small Nascent Souls.
The aura surrounding Song Shuhang became increasingly profound, and the Thirty-Three Divine Beasts' Technique became more active.
This time, there were no ice crystals forming on his body. It seemed that his body had grown accustomed to this change.
Unknown White 20-30 and White 23 released their hold on Song Shuhang's body after a while.
His body became somewhat translucent.
"Senior White, are you alright?" Song Shuhang extended his hand to support Unknown White 20-30 - 23. Simultaneously, his right hand secretly activated the secret appraisal technique, and his body entered the pseudo-immortal state.
He was very curious about the identity of Senior White Three.
In the main world, Senior White had a special status. Senior White Two had just become the ruler of the Netherworld, while Senior White of the Wielder of the Will was currently in a state of concealment and left behind only a stand-in.
So what was the identity of Senior White Three?
Was he the contingency plan? Was he the 'younger sibling' that Senior White had left behind for himself?
Moreover, these Senior White Threes seemed capable of merging and separating.
Bang! Song Shuhang's smoke-like body burst like a balloon.
Appraisal came at a high cost, which Song Shuhang had anticipated.
[Unknown White 20-30, missing 23: Appraisal failed.]
He had paid a hefty price, but he had gained nothing.
At this moment, Unknown White appeared deep in thought. Then, he reached out and seized something.
In the air, he grasped an eye—Song Shuhang's divine third eye.
Unknown White's eyes brightened, and they transformed into countless data forms.
A wave of data in the hundreds of millions rushed into Song Shuhang.
It was precisely the data that Senior White No. 23 had cut off from the transmission.
Countless data flowed into the divine third eye and Song Shuhang's consciousness.
By combining the data of Senior White No. 23, a prototype of data was formed.
This massive amount of data contained detailed information about the composition of all living beings in this artificial world!
