Chapter 10: Multiverse Chat Group

Ding! Welcome to the chat group!

Ding! You have automatically become a group administrator!

Ding! Welcome 'The Han Loyalist Who Forged Edicts to Rally Troops' to the chat group!

Ding! Welcome 'The Noble Sword of Huashan, Renowned Throughout the Martial World' to the chat group!

Ding! Welcome 'The Descendant of the Demon God Who Has Returned to Ordinariness' to the chat group!

Ding! Welcome 'The Novice Cultivator Just Stepping Into the World' to the chat group!

Lu Qingshan, who had just become a god, suddenly opened his eyes, lightning flashing in his pupils.

'Chat group?'

Lu Qingshan’s expression was peculiar: 'Is this my golden finger? But even if it is, why did it show up so late?'

He knew that since his transmigration, this golden finger had already been in his mind.

Yet now, over eight million years had passed, and this golden finger had only just activated?

Recalling all the efforts he’d made to break through to immortality—the near-death experiences on the Outer Realm battlefield, his tireless diligence within the Yanfeng Branch, the desperate battles for resources and wealth...

Thinking of everything he’d done, Lu Qingshan felt a wave of frustration.

Now that he’d finally broken through to immortality and was ready to become a lazy fish, lying flat, this golden finger suddenly arrived!

As everyone knows, in this Consuming Starry Sky, the World Lord realm is one of the most crucial stages on the path of cultivation.

At the World Lord stage, one comprehends the fundamental laws of the universe at an extremely rapid pace.

Precisely because of this, many geniuses in the universe, though capable of fully comprehending the lower-level fundamental laws and becoming immortals, deliberately refrain from taking that final step—so they can spend their World Lord phase studying the far more difficult upper-level fundamental laws!

But now, Lu Qingshan had just broken through into an ordinary Immortal—and his golden finger arrived?

Either don’t come at all, or come earlier—even a few hundred years earlier would’ve been better!

Yet this golden finger chose precisely this moment to appear—it was incredibly frustrating!

It felt like during the college entrance exam, Lu Qingshan had poured out every ounce of effort and barely scraped past the undergraduate cutoff—only to have someone hand him the exam answers right after the test ended.

Thinking of this, Lu Qingshan’s emotions grew even more complex.

But no matter what, a golden finger arriving is better than never arriving!

Thus, with an incredibly complex heart, Lu Qingshan quickly observed the other members of the chat group.

Among them, 'The Noble Sword of Huashan, Renowned Throughout the Martial World' was easiest to guess—it must be Yue Buqun from The Smiling, Proud Wanderer;

'The Han Loyalist Who Forged Edicts to Rally Troops'—Lu Qingshan had his own suspicion: it should be Cao Cao from the Three Kingdoms period, though he wasn’t certain, since Cao Cao had also 'held the emperor hostage to command the lords'—hard to call him a true Han loyalist;

As for the other two—'The Descendant of the Demon God Who Has Returned to Ordinariness' and 'The Novice Cultivator Just Stepping Into the World'—Lu Qingshan had no clue at all.

After all, neither 'Demon God descendant' nor 'novice cultivator' gave him enough information.

'I’ve become a god! At least bring in a few people with strength comparable to mine, who can help me improve!'

Lu Qingshan thought inwardly: 'The Smiling, Proud Wanderer world is definitely useless to me. If 'The Han Loyalist Who Forged Edicts to Rally Troops' really is Cao Cao, he’s useless to me too! And the Demon God descendant has already returned to ordinariness—the novice cultivator is just starting out; they’re unlikely to help me at all!'

Thinking of this, Lu Qingshan felt another wave of frustration.

But since this golden finger was a chat group, new members could join in the future, so Lu Qingshan wasn’t overly disappointed.

Soon, Lu Qingshan’s gaze turned to the chat group interface in his mind.

Of these five new members—whether Yue Buqun, the Han loyalist, the Demon God descendant, or the novice cultivator—they all likely didn’t understand this chat group.

'Since we’ve all been brought together through this chat group, it’s fate!'

Lu Qingshan thought inwardly: 'Then let me greet everyone first! If they’re easy to get along with, I might as well help them later.'

With this thought, Lu Qingshan immediately greeted the others in the chat group...

【Ordinary Immortal God: Hello.JPG】

In the allied camp, Cao Cao, after realizing no one else in the camp had heard the voice in his mind, calmly returned to composure.

But upon seeing Lu Qingshan’s message in the chat group, his expression flickered slightly.

'Immortal? God?'

Cao Cao paid no attention to the preceding 'Ordinary'—he focused solely on 'Immortal God.'

After all, both 'Immortal' and 'God' were ideals countless Han people aspired to—yet now they suddenly appeared in his mind. What was going on?

Cao Cao, puzzled, decided to hold his ground and observe.

'This...'

Seeing his own name, Lu Qingshan couldn’t help but complain inwardly: 'I already know I’m just an ordinary Immortal—do I need the chat group to remind me?'

'In the Consuming Starry Sky, I’m nothing special—but here in this chat group, they’ll all call me a great god!'

Thinking of this, Lu Qingshan shifted his thoughts and, following the chat group’s instructions, changed his name to Lu Qingshan.

At that moment...

【The Descendant of the Demon God Who Has Returned to Ordinariness: 'Who are you? Did you bring us to this hellish place?'】

【The Descendant of the Demon God Who Has Returned to Ordinariness: 'Damn it! What the hell is this name? I’m a normal person—when did I become a Demon God descendant?'】

Seeing this, Lu Qingshan’s thoughts shifted—he realized this Demon God descendant was blunt and straightforward, and decided to extract more information.

【Lu Qingshan: Hi! I just joined this chat group too—I didn’t know you before. How could I have brought you to some hellish place?】

【Lu Qingshan: Are you in trouble? Tell me about it—maybe I can help.】

【The Descendant of the Demon God Who Has Returned to Ordinariness: I was hiking Mount Tai with a group of classmates when nine divine dragons dragged a bronze ancient coffin down from the sky. Now we’re all trapped inside it—do you know how we can get out?】

'Bronze ancient coffin?'

Lu Qingshan blinked in surprise: 'Zhe Tian world! Demon God descendant? That must be Pang Bo!'

【Lu Qingshan: Are you Pang Bo?】

【The Descendant of the Demon God Who Has Returned to Ordinariness: How do you know my name? Did you know me before?】

Hearing this, Lu Qingshan’s mind raced with thoughts.

He knew the Zhe Tian plotline well—he could easily guess Pang Bo’s identity.

But what should he do next?

Should he tell Pang Bo about Zhe Tian’s future events?

How much? Part or all?

Should he trade these plot details for something, or speak openly?

Quickly, Lu Qingshan found his answer.

【Lu Qingshan: This story is long—it can’t be explained in a few words!】

【Lu Qingshan: Here’s what we’ll do, Pang Bo—change your name first, then we’ll talk in detail. To change your name, just focus your thoughts and follow the chat group’s prompts!】

【Lu Qingshan: Also, the other three friends—you’ve been lurking too long. Change your names and speak up! @The Han Loyalist Who Forged Edicts to Rally Troops, @The Noble Sword of Huashan, Renowned Throughout the Martial World, @The Novice Cultivator Just Stepping Into the World.】

Yes, after thinking it over, Lu Qingshan still decided to speak openly with the group members.

After all, his talent and comprehension were extremely ordinary—especially after becoming an Immortal, further strengthening had become even harder.

His current strength might be slightly higher than theirs, but their future growth could far outpace his.

Take Pang Bo from Zhe Tian—he’ll likely become a Great Saint in just a few centuries. Will he still have to rely on his knowledge of the plot to deceive and trick them?

Lies are false; sincerity is the ultimate weapon. So Lu Qingshan finally decided to speak openly with the group members.

If so, then let them simply change their names.

Once he knew their names, he’d likely be able to guess their identities.

【Pang Bo: I changed it!】

In the allied commander’s tent.

Cao Cao carefully studied the chat group’s message log in his mind.

Though he still didn’t understand what was happening, this chat group utterly exceeded his comprehension—it could harm him effortlessly.

Moreover, Lu Qingshan had already said so much—he had no reason to hide anymore.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao shifted his thoughts.

【Cao Cao: I am Cao Cao, Cao Mengde. Greetings to you all!】

In the Smiling, Proud Wanderer world, inside the Huashan Sect’s main hall.

After seeing Cao Cao introduce himself, Yue Buqun froze slightly.

He didn’t understand this chat group, nor did he know Lu Qingshan or Pang Bo—but he certainly knew Cao Cao.

'Cao Cao?'

'Could he really be the historical Han Chancellor? The Martial Emperor of Wei?'

'If he truly is Emperor Cao Cao, then what exactly is this chat group that lets me speak with an ancient man from over a thousand years ago?'

But Yue Buqun knew this wasn’t the time to ask such questions—Cao Cao had already introduced himself; he couldn’t remain silent.

Thinking of this, Yue Buqun shifted his thoughts and sent his first message in the chat group.

【Yue Buqun: I am Yue Buqun of Huashan Sect. Greetings to you all!】

In Yue State, Huangfeng Valley.

Ding! Welcome to the Multiverse Chat Group!

Upon hearing the voice in his mind, Han Li instantly went on alert.

He first cautiously observed the surroundings, but no one approached him.

“No one? Then what is this voice in my mind?”

Han Li felt a flicker of unease, yet his expression remained calm: “I’ve heard that cultivators above Foundation Establishment can transmit thoughts via spiritual sense. Could some powerful elder be joking with me?”

Thinking this, Han Li quickly scanned the area, then bowed respectfully: “Which elder is jesting with this junior? Please reveal yourself! If you have any orders, I shall obey without hesitation!”

But just then…

【Ordinary Immortal Spirit: Hello everyone.JPG】

…

Looking at the various chat logs appearing in his mind’s so-called group chat, Han Li’s confusion grew deeper.

He did not know any of them—the group chat, nor Lu Qingshan, Pang Bo, Cao Cao, or Yue Buqun of Huashan Sect.

But now everyone else was already speaking in the group chat; he could no longer remain silent.

“No matter what’s going on, I should greet these elders first!”

Thinking this, Han Li immediately followed the group chat’s instructions to change his name, then greeted the others.

【Li Feiyu: Junior Li Feiyu, pays respects to all elders!】
