“Go on, say it again!”
The suppressed roar of a beast echoed in the air, with crimson eyes seeming to bleed, the fury and madness in the words made Ye Nan break out in a cold sweat, involuntarily taking a step back.
However, the celestial god held by Tang Haofei just laughed.
“Welcome back, Tang Er.”
“Hmph!”
Tang Haofei snorted coldly and casually tossed the celestial god aside. Taking a deep breath of the dusty air around him, he gradually suppressed the anger in his chest. Only then did he turn his head to look at the celestial god.
“All I need to do is take back the control rights of the Eternal Sky City, right?”
The celestial god wiped the blood from his face and nodded lightly.
“That’s simple.”
After Tang Haofei finished speaking, he slowly sat down on the ground, gently stroking the surface of the Eternal Sky City while closing his eyes.
……
With his right hand pressed against the ground, feeling the familiar and affectionate aura of the Eternal Sky City, a hint of nostalgia rose in Tang Haofei’s heart. Even the usually impulsive Tang Er revealed a faint smile at this moment.
However, a sudden thought that emerged from his mind interrupted Tang Er's sentimental mood.
“This doesn’t comply with the agreement, Tang Er. Also, the sleeping plan has nothing to do with Wen Yu; he’s just doing me a favor.”
Hearing this, Tang Er frowned and silently muttered to himself.
“There’s nothing about complying or not complying with the agreement. I just don’t like Wen Yu, so I'm going to do this!”
“It’s just that you aren’t happy that others have surpassed you. I think it’s great; the more strong people there are, the better. I don’t agree with what you’re doing. We agreed that I handle external affairs, responsible for all communication and situations with the outside world, while you handle internal affairs, responsible for suppression…”
“Alright, alright, enough with the nonsense. Just this once, okay? That guy Wen Yu, hmph, I’m going to make him uncomfortable no matter what!”
Tang Er spoke firmly, not waiting for Tang Yi within him to respond before quickly awakening the intelligent control core of the Eternal Sky City.
As his consciousness merged with the surface of the Eternal Sky City, a clear prompt tone abruptly echoed in Tang Haofei’s mind.
“Welcome back, Master. The intelligent core of the Eternal Sky City is at your service.”
“Restart the intelligent core and clear all external permissions I’ve granted.”
“Yes, my lord.”
The intelligent core chirped sweetly, then fell completely silent…
It wasn’t until half a day later that a prompt sound from the Eternal Sky City rang in Tang Haofei’s ears again…
However, this time, it was not the sweet voice of the intelligent core but a cold, emotionless mechanical tone mixed with electric sounds.
“Command invalid, insufficient permissions!”
Tang Haofei was taken aback, then enraged.
“Damn it, the Eternal Sky City is mine! It’s mine!!! Lin Haifeng, you old dog!”
……
Watching Tang Haofei squatting on the ground with his palm pressed against the surface of the Eternal Sky City, the celestial god remained expressionless, silently wiping the blood off his face, while also taking out a mask from the Spatial Ring and putting it on.
“You really are something.”
Ye Nan quietly approached the celestial god, nudging him with his elbow while giving him a thumbs up.
The celestial god remained expressionless, but his gaze towards Tang Haofei was filled with coldness, which Ye Nan failed to notice.
Ye Nan continued to ask, “Crazy Flow, how did you know this guy is Tang Er?”
“He is not just Tang Er… well, you could say he is both Tang Yi and Tang Er.”
The celestial god spoke indifferently, just looking at Tang Haofei’s back and explaining to himself: “Do you remember? The price of power is irreversible. Wen Yu said this is the sovereign’s original words. In fact, that old man has spent the past five years begging for help to bring Tang Yi back, trying countless methods and bribing so many treasure land guardians. And what was the result? It was useless. The price of power cannot be eliminated; even the sovereign can’t do anything about it!”
