Chapter 2381: Senior White, I've Found A Loophole!
2381 Senior White, I've Found A Loophole!
"What's the plan?" Song Shuhang asked cautiously.
"With the combined power of us all, Numbers 1-30, we can temporarily create an interface and send you to the source of this world. There, you can meet Numbers 31-33 and obtain their data to acquire the complete data package," Unknown White No. 1 replied.
Unknown White 2-30 agreed. "Sounds good. Let's give it a try."
Song Shuhang stroked his chin in thought and then said, "Senior White No. 1, before we proceed, can I have a private conversation with you?"
"Why a private chat?" Unknown White No. 1 asked in confusion.
"Why do a private chat?" Unknown White 2-30 also seemed puzzled. They wondered why Song Shuhang wanted to talk to No. 1 alone.
"Because the question I'm about to ask might get me in trouble. If I were to ask all thirty Senior Whites this question at once, I'd have to endure thirty beatings. So, I'd like to question you one by one and only get beaten up once at a time. I think I can handle that," Song Shuhang explained seriously.
Unknown White 2-30 remained silent.
Unknown White No. 1 replied, "I understand."
After a while, the entry for 'Unknown White 1-30 can be separated' in Song Shuhang's friend list split into two.
After the data separation, Unknown White No. 1 sent a single period to Song Shuhang: "."
Song Shuhang, with a mischievous grin, said, "Senior White, have you ever truly been in love in your life?"
Unknown White No. 1 responded with confusion. "???"
"Because I saw you growing your long hair," Song Shuhang said with a straight face.
Unknown White No. 1 retorted, "We were born with long hair."
Song Shuhang pondered while pinching his chin. It seemed that Unknown White No. 1 didn't mind discussing the topic of long hair at all.
Should he dig deeper into this?
Song Shuhang felt like he was standing at the edge of an abyss while reaching out hesitantly. However, after a moment of contemplation, he realized that pursuing this topic further wouldn't yield the answers he sought. The Unknown Whites might just be backup entities left behind by White Heavenly Axiom, and dwelling on the topic of long hair wasn't productive.
Continuing down this path wouldn't provide the information he needed.
Moreover, he couldn't use the 'Twelve Words of Truth' every time he encountered an unknown Senior White.
"When you have questions, feel free to ask. Don't lay the foundation first," Unknown White No. 1 said.
Song Shuhang replied, "Then let me get straight to the point. Senior White, as a crucial part of the 'seal,' is it possible for you to be influenced by the ancient god, like a system infected by a virus?"
While conversing with Unknown White, Song Shuhang discreetly activated a simple illusion by his side. Under the illusion's cover, he replaced the 'steel lion' transformed by the Thirty-Three Divine Beasts 'Combined Magical Treasure' with the 'destruction giant.'
The despair-inducing Destruction Giant appeared with a resounding impact.
However, on the monitor screen, the Combined Magical Treasure still appeared as the steel lion.
At the same time, a notification sounded in Song Shuhang's mind. "System prompt: Despair value +3. Current despair value: 8."
Song Shuhang couldn't help but think, "Hehehe, Senior White Two, I've found a loophole."
While taking advantage of the unpatched hole, Song Shuhang swiftly put away the Destruction Giant and summoned it again.
"System Notification: Despair Points +3. Current Despair Points: 11."
What a delightful way to accumulate Despair Points!
Exploiting loopholes was always satisfying.
With 11 despair points, Song Shuhang could use Senior White Two's automatic divination system once.
The timing was perfect.
Just as Song Shuhang amassed 11 despair value points, Unknown White No. 1 pondered for a moment and responded, "In theory, we shouldn't be affected. We are divided into 33 distinct consciousnesses, and even if a specific 'individual' were influenced by the ancient god, the fusion process would purify the influence."
With Unknown White No. 1's response in mind, Song Shuhang quickly activated 'Senior White Two's automatic divination system' to divine his future!
The automatic divination system sprang to life.
Song Shuhang's consciousness entered the system and was greeted by a charming wallpaper featuring 'Senior White Two holding a divination plate and smiling with his head tilted.'
For a mere 10 despair points, the divination plate in Senior White Two's hand began to spin rapidly.
Ancient runes emerged from the divination plate. They bounced and landed before Song Shuhang to form a divination image.
Simultaneously, the system's divination function activated.
[Outcome: The enemy is weak, and I am strong. The enemy is old, and I am strong.]
[The recently awakened ancient god is in a weakened state. As long as it can't replenish its energy, it will remain vulnerable and easy to subdue. This is a golden opportunity... While it's weak, you have the chance to acquire the treasures and riches you desire. Just don't get too greedy, and you can emerge unscathed.]
Senior White Two's advice was to take the initiative and seize the opportunity.
It sounded like a solid plan.
Should he utilize this chance to accrue more Despair Points and conduct additional divinations? Song Shuhang pondered.
However, just as he contemplated this, 'Senior White Two's automatic divination system' in his mind unexpectedly delivered a message.
"Ding! System Notification: The three-day trial period has concluded. The system is now closed. See you again."
Song Shuhang was left dumbfounded.
He watched as Senior White Two's automatic divination system turned gray and became inaccessible.
He'd have to request the official version from Senior White later. The trial version was undoubtedly a scam.
"Do you have any other questions?" Unknown White No. 1 inquired once more.
"No, Senior White," Song Shuhang replied.
"No, you must have more questions. I'm prepared. What's the question that might get you beaten up afterward?" Unknown White No. 1 pressed.
"We'll discuss that after I return alive from the source of the seal," Song Shuhang said with a smile.
Unknown White No. 1 was rendered speechless.
"Senior White, let's take action. Time waits for no one. The ancient god's revival is imminent. We can't afford to waste any more time. Send me to contact Numbers 31, 32, and 33," Song Shuhang messaged both Unknown White No. 1 and No. 2-30 simultaneously.
...
...
He closed his eyes and then opened them again.
Song Shuhang found himself at the source of the world, where the last ring of the ancient god was sealed.
It was a circular track.
On the track stood three statues which all resembled the long-haired Senior White.
Upon seeing these statues, Song Shuhang couldn't help but recall the time when he had roused Senior White from his seclusion.
