83: I am really Yuanshi Tianzun

Tang Ku was no stranger to Greek numbers and measurements. When his Master sent him down the mountain to study culture, his high school math teacher was a fervent admirer of Archimedes, so he expanded on many topics in their lessons, leaving a deep impression on Tang Ku.

"A thousand li isn't too far. Hmm, should we depart now?" Nezha asked.

"There's no rush!" Yang Jian suddenly calmed down, saying leisurely, "Doesn't the Holy Monk still have something to attend to?"

Tang Ku paused, then remembered something. He flicked the wide sleeves of his monk's robe, and a clear Qi drifted out, forming a human figure. It was the handsome young man Tang Ku had put away earlier.

"So familiar!" Nezha and Yang Jian exclaimed simultaneously, both startled.

Wu Zhen turned to look, and seeing the shadowy figure, she couldn't help but exclaim, "Who is that person? Their appearance is even more handsome than yours!"

Tang Ku ignored her, instead looking at Yang Jian and Nezha, saying, "Of course you find him familiar. This is the Poor Monk's steed for the journey to the West, and also the Poor Monk's second disciple!"

Yang Jian was immediately startled: "This is Little White Dragon?"

Nezha wondered, "But why does he seem so dazed and foolish? His soul seems to be missing something!"

Tang Ku helplessly said, "I also feel like something is missing, but as you can see, his Three Ethereal Souls and Seven Corporeal Spirits are all present, yet he has no reaction to the outside world!"

Tang Ku looked at his foolishly staring disciple and said resignedly, "I'm wondering if the other party tampered with his soul?"

"Actually, he's not entirely unresponsive. At the very least, he only stares at you, so he should be able to recognize you as his Master!" Yang Jian said.

"I think this might be related to his skeleton that remained in the Hua Long Pond!" Tang Ku thought for a moment, then put Little White Dragon's soul back into his sleeve, saying, "Let's discuss it when we return to Spirit Mountain... Hmm, speaking of which, I still don't know if you succeeded. Did you find the things Primal Celestial Lord left behind?"

"Found it, found it! You wouldn't believe what it is..." Nezha pouted, took out the Human Seed Bag from his bosom, and then started pulling things out.

There was a palm-sized model of a boat, a rhomboid crystal stone, and a rectangular object that looked like a smartphone.

"That's all of it. Originally there were four items, but that idiot Nine-Headed Bug intercepted one. What it is, I still don't know!" Nezha said, "And even now, I don't know what any of these items are for!"

Tang Ku glanced at the highly mechanical boat model and frowned slightly: "Let me see..."

Taking the three items, Tang Ku placed them on the ground, then first picked up the palm-sized rectangular object. He turned it over and over, finding it more and more familiar the more he looked.

The front was a glass-like panel, and the back was wrapped in a single piece of metal. In the center of the back, there was a thumb-sized square indentation.

"This thing... it's very much like..." Tang Ku tried pressing his index finger onto it... There was no reaction.

"Did I think wrong?" Tang Ku couldn't help but frown slightly. Then, a flash of inspiration struck him as he looked at Nezha and Yang Jian. He waved to Nezha and said, "Come, put your index finger on it..."

"Index finger? Any one will do?" Nezha couldn't help but frown slightly, "Is this the key to solving the riddle? Why doesn't your finger work?"

"I don't know either, but we'll find out by trying!" Tang Ku laughed, "Try your right index finger first!"

Perhaps it was human instinct, but Nezha actually raised his index finger, breathed on it, and then, with a nervous heart, pressed it onto the small square.

"Is this how it works? I... crap!" His finger tingled, as if pricked by a needle. Nezha couldn't help but blow on his finger and jump far away, angrily saying, "Holy Monk, that's not a funny joke!"

Tang Ku rolled his eyes: "Who's joking with you? Look..." The phone-like object's front suddenly lit up. A huge Taiji Diagram almost instantly spilled out of the screen. A flash of electric light passed over the object, then transformed into a deep blue glow, or rather, a tractor beam, projecting towards the other two items.

The crystal and the boat model, along with the object in Tang Ku's hand, all slowly floated upwards. The three continuously drew closer and ascended, and when they finally converged, they emitted a blinding light. A colossal surge of energy suddenly burst forth, as dazzling as if another sun had appeared in the sky.

Yang Jian and Nezha watched with trepidation, for the energy emanating from the light was almost as awe-inspiring as that of a Saint. The only difference was that this energy was even more devoid of emotion, as cold as a stone.

After the dazzling light, a colossal object, resembling a ship yet not quite a ship, suddenly appeared in the air. Its shadow covered an area as large as three football fields. At the bow of the ship was a metal statue resembling a deer yet not quite a deer. Yang Jian immediately recognized it as the symbol of the Jade Void Palace's Four Unlike.

"I... crap!" Tang Ku couldn't help but curse, jumping up from the ground and exclaiming in shock, "This thing... it's somewhat overturning my worldview!"

Full of technological flair, carrying an endless oppressive force, it slowly descended before everyone. A circular light wheel suddenly appeared on the ship's hull, looking exactly like the entrance/exit of a Universe spaceship in a science fiction movie.

Nezha snapped out of his daze and excitedly said, "That's a spatial passage! This must be the door to get inside... Let's go, let's go see..."

Yang Jian looked at Tang Ku, who nodded and said, "This thing seems to be controllable only by Jade Void disciples, so there shouldn't be any problem..."

The few of them exchanged glances, then collectively rushed into the circular spatial passage.

As the passage behind them closed, a flash of light passed before Tang Ku's eyes, and he found that they had arrived in a hall-like place. Directly opposite was a row of what looked like glass and control panels... This was clearly the bridge of a Universe spaceship!

Everything about it was so sci-fi, as if he had Transmigrated directly from a mythical world into the world of 'Star Trek'.

On the glass directly opposite, a light projection suddenly appeared, revealing an old man's face.

"Grand Elder of the Sect?" Yang Jian and Nezha almost knelt down.

Tang Ku saw clearly, reached out to stop the two, and said solemnly, "You two stop, stop... Look closely, this is not Primal Celestial Lord!"

The two immediately looked at the face with puzzled expressions, only to see the old man's face chuckle and say, "No, I really am Primal Celestial Lord..."
