74: Chapter 74 The Void Beast's "Bluetooth Pairing" and its Connection with the Smart Access Control System of Tianhe Community
Heavenly River Sword Sect, "tianhe no. 1" Floating Island.
Dead silence.
A dead silence sufficient to cause cardiac arrest.
Just a second ago, the "Sanitation Brigade" had been dancing enthusiastically; now, every member was frozen in place in bizarre poses, looking like a group of Terracotta Warriors under a Body-Fixing Curse.
On the square, that super speaker modified from a Demon God's buttocks was still professionally blasting "The Most Dazzling Xianxia Style."
"The vast horizon is my love..."
The singing became the only sound between heaven and earth at this moment, carrying an eerie and awkward vibe like disco dancing at a graveside.
Because, right above their heads.
Within that infinitely churning sea of Void clouds, a face—a transparent "face" so massive it defied description—was pressed against their world.
That Void Cruiser—no, it should be called a Void Scavenger—was simply too colossal.
It was a living planet, a jellyfish composed of starlight and dreams.
Countless drifting translucent tentacles, each longer than a mountain range, swayed leisurely in the Void Realm.
At this moment, its massive body shimmered with a blurred light, and in an almost "shy" posture, it slowly, bit by bit, nuzzled toward the Heavenly River Sword Sect... or more accurately, toward those Demon God buttocks that were still vibrating with the "thump-thump-thump" beat.
"What... what is this grandson trying to do?"
The electric baton in Lei Wanjun's hand hit the ground with a clatter. He felt that his God-Fiend Body was as fragile as paper before this thing.
"Does it want to eat us?"
"No."
Director Haotian, this former Immortal Emperor, forcibly suppressed the trembling deep within his Soul and made a judgment with his professional eye.
His face was as pale as paper.
"Based on this Director's experience of reading countless people, that look in its eyes..."
"I've only seen it in the eyes of those infatuated Fairies who cried and screamed about wanting to bear my children back in the day."
"It has... fallen in love at first sight."
"Fallen in love?!"
Everyone's scalp tingled.
Falling in love with a Demon God's buttocks that was looping a square-dancing hit song?
Isn't this Universe-level creature's criteria for choosing a mate a bit too reckless!
"Wooo—"
The behemoth seemed to understand the commotion over here and actually let out a low cry filled with endless joy.
Immediately afterward, its massive body began to vibrate slightly in time with the music's rhythm (thump-thump-thump).
Then, it opened an embrace large enough to swallow the sun, moon, and stars, preparing to give the entire Heavenly River Sword Sect a solid "hug of love."
"It's over! We're going to be forcibly kissed!" Gu Canghai let out a scream like a slaughtered pig. "The Sect is going to be flattened into a 2D sticker!"
"What's the noise about?"
Li Mo stood at the edge of the terrace, hands behind his back, his expression calm.
Instead of hiding, he leisurely took out that black-covered [ancient god medical record book] and accurately flipped to the [Medical Equipment Chapter].
"It's just attracted by a specific high-frequency vibration and instinctively wants to find a 'kindred spirit.'"
"Since it likes this rhythm so much..."
Li Mo fished something out of his robe.
It was a short metal rod covered in profound runes, with a small spiral at the tip. It looked like some strange conductor's baton, but even more like... an old-fashioned radio antenna.
"Then let's... connect it via Bluetooth."
Before his voice finished echoing, Li Mo's figure had already vanished from the spot.
He leaped up, turning into a streak of light that shot into the sky, hovering before that giant face that obscured the entire firmament.
Before the behemoth, he was as tiny as a speck of dust.
But when he held up that "antenna" in his hand, an invisible power of laws instantly centered on him and radiated out toward the entire Universe.
[Rule Invocation: Wireless Communication Protocol!]
[Target: Alpha-class Wandering Void Lifeform (Wild)!]
[Operation: Forced Pairing!]
[Pairing Key: Thump-Thump-Thump-Thump!]
"Connect!"
The antenna in Li Mo's hand jabbed sharply toward the behemoth's core.
Buzz—!!!
Below, the twelve massive speakers on Beelzebub's buttocks suddenly emitted a crisp and pleasant synthesized electronic voice in unison:
"Bluetooth enabled, searching for devices..."
"Ding! New device found: [The Lonely Star-Sea Wanderer]."
"Ding! Pairing successful, connected to your device."
The next second.
That behemoth, which was about to pounce recklessly, suddenly froze its massive body.
It felt it.
That vibration frequency that made it obsessed and drove it wild had not disappeared; instead, through a mysterious and profound channel, it was poured directly into its Soul core.
That feeling was ten thousand times more wonderful than the external vibrations that were just scratching the surface earlier!
"Wooo~♦"
A cry of extreme ecstasy, even carrying a hint of submissive pleasure, echoed through the Void Realm.
The behemoth's body no longer tried to embrace.
Its massive body began to dissolve, stretch, and deform.
Countless starlights flowed out of its body, turning into a peerlessly massive, dreamlike translucent membrane that tenderly and affectionately wrapped the entire Heavenly River Sword Sect, along with the Heavenly Gate above and those Demon God buttocks, perfectly inside.
A massive protective shield with its own starlight special effects and breathing light effect...
Furthermore, this protective shield was flashing with seven-colored lights in time with the rhythm of "The Most Dazzling Xianxia Style."
"This... this is?"
Lei Wanjun was completely dumbfounded.
"It... it just married into the family?"
"No."
Li Mo's figure drifted back to the terrace. He put away the antenna and looked up with great satisfaction, admiring that magnificent starlight shield.
"This is called—[Intelligent Noise-Cancelling Soundproof · Panoramic Starry Sky Canopy · Biological Forcefield Shield]."
He paused and added.
"In other words, the new... access control System for our neighborhood."
Li Mo turned around and looked at the stunned Director Haotian.
"Director Hao, I think it's necessary to update the property management fee standards."
"Since our neighborhood now has a security System unique in the entire Universe, the security fee item..."
"Can we consider increasing it tenfold?"
Director Haotian shuddered, and the fervent light of "Capitalism" instantly burst from his eyes.
"Raise it! It must be raised! More than tenfold!"
"From today on, we are the number one high-end gated community in the Immortal Realm! Without an owner's card, let alone a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, not even a fly can think of flying in!"
...
Meanwhile.
Above the Heavenly Gate, in the Immortal Realm.
The noise of the square dancing finally disappeared.
In its place was a starlight barrier they had never seen before, radiating a terrifying life pressure that completely cut off all their lines of sight peering downward.
"What the hell is that thing?"
A Golden Immortal of high status refused to believe it and tried to probe his Divine Sense into it.
However, the moment his Divine Sense touched that layer of starlight.
"Ding! Warning: Unauthorized access detected."
A cold, emotionless consciousness transmitted from the barrier; it was the behemoth's passive defensive instinct.
In the next instant, this consciousness turned into an invisible slap that followed the trail of the Divine Sense and slammed hard into that Golden Immortal's Divine Soul.
Puff—!!!
That Golden Immortal sprayed a mouthful of immortal blood and was sent flying backward, his Divine Soul withered and instantly severely wounded.
"It's a Void Scavenger!"
An old Immortal Venerable who had lived for countless ages and had glimpsed a corner of the Universe's horrors spoke with a trembling voice full of fear.
"That is the legendary Void Overlord that feeds on worlds! Why... why would it become a watchdog for that group of ants below?!"
The immortals were terrified beyond measure.
Just then.
Upon that brilliant starlight barrier, light flowed and slowly formed several massive characters gathered from the power of stars, shining in the Void, each word striking the heart.
[tianhe no. 1 · Cloud-Top Celestial Palace — Grand Opening]
[Star-Sea Class Biological Shield Launched Today, Giving You Visible Security]
[Rare Seats, Hot Reservations in Progress, Welcoming Immortal Realm Elites to Move In]
[VIP Consultation Hotline: Look for Haotian Property · Gold Medal Real Estate Consultant · Director Hao]
Looking at this insanely large-scale advertisement, the big shots of the entire Immortal Realm fell into a deathly silence.
Though humiliated.
Though furious.
But... looking at that "biological shield" that could instantly crush even a Grand Unity Golden Immortal's Divine Sense, they had to admit a heart-wrenching fact.
This neighborhood built on a Demon God's buttocks...
Damn it, the security really seems to be ridiculously high?
...
Lower Realm, second floor of the Scripture Pavilion.
The crisis was resolved, and they had gained a Universe-level Divine-Grade security guard for free.
Li Mo was in a good mood.
But when he opened the [ancient god medical record book] again, the smile on his face slowly faded.
During the forced pairing just now, he had followed the connection of the rules and glimpsed some fragments of this behemoth's memory.
This Void Scavenger was not a wanderer without a purpose.
It was... fleeing for its life.
"Fleeing for its life?"
Li Mo's fingertips tapped lightly on the tabletop in a rhythmic sound.
"Even a monster that feeds on stars is fleeing desperately... what exactly did it see?"
He pressed his palm onto the medical record, and the [Data Retrospection] function activated.
Through the depths of the behemoth's chaotic and fearful memories, he saw the end of the Void, that "extracorporeal" part of the Universe beyond where the Ancient God's remains were located.
There, was a massive, writhing shadow that could not be described by any language.
Within that deep shadow, massive, pale, gloved arms were reaching out from the nothingness.
Some held "scalpels" flashing with the cold light of rules, while others held "bone saws" composed of shattered star Systems.
[Medical Record Update:]
[Warning: External environment has detected signs of high-risk pathogen invasion.]
[“Sterile Surgical Department” has initiated intervention procedures.]
[Level One Surgical Plan Confirmed: Amputation.]
[Target: Completely excise the Southern Desolation Universe region contaminated by "cancer cells (referring to the protagonist and others)".]
Li Mo slammed the book shut.
"It seems that just installing a security door at home is no longer enough."
"The 'Attending Physicians' outside think the internal 'Immune Cells (Scavengers)' are useless and are preparing to personally come down and perform major surgery."
"Amputation?"
Li Mo stood up, a cold arc curling at the corners of his mouth.
His gaze pierced through the newly installed starlight shield, looking toward that infinitely deep Void.
"Want to cut my territory?"
"Then you'll have to ask if the knives in your hands are harder than my medical record."
"Linger!"
"I'm here, Sect Master!"
Chu Linger was squatting in a corner, secretly feeding spicy strips to a palm-sized "pet version" Void jellyfish that had just separated from the behemoth. Hearing him, she immediately ran over pitter-patter.
"Pass the word down, whether it's our Sect or the Abyss side."
"The 'First Phase' of our development plan—[Living and Working in Peace]—has been successfully completed."
"From now on, initiate the 'Second Phase'."
Li Mo's voice was calm and clear.
"Plan Code Name—[Medical Malpractice]."
"Since they want to perform surgery on us..."
"Then we'll start by tearing down their operating room!"
