Chapter 31: The Trajectory of Fate

【Average-talent million-year soul beast: Who are you? How could you appear in my mind? Where is this place?】

“Average-talent million-year soul beast?”

In Luoyangcheng, Cao Cao saw the chat log and was startled: “Soul beast? So the person who joined this group isn’t human? And it’s lived for a million years?”

As for the “average talent” part, Cao Cao paid it no mind.

After all, any life that has lived a million years—even a pig—would be terrifying!

【Lu Qingshan: Are you Tianmeng Bingcan?】

【Average-talent million-year soul beast: Who are you? How do you know my name?】

【Lu Qingshan: That’s a long story! @Average-talent million-year soul beast, @Stagnant-talent genius youth, here’s what we’ll do: change your names first, then we’ll continue. Just think of your new name, and the chat group will guide you!】

【Tianmeng Bingcan: Fine, but don’t trick me!】

……

Wutancheng, Xiao family.

Xiao Yan stared at the messages appearing in his mind, dazed.

He had used chat groups before his transmigration, so he was familiar with them.

But now that he’d transmigrated, how could this chat group still find him?

And who were these people in the group?

He’d planned to ask, but Tianmeng Bingcan had already asked, and someone had already replied—so he’d better change his name first!

【Xiao Yan: Fellow group members, I’ve changed my name!】

Tianleixing, cultivation chamber.

Seeing Xiao Yan’s name appear in the chat group, Lu Qingshan couldn’t help but smile knowingly.

Earlier, when he saw Tianmeng Bingcan and Xiao Yan’s nicknames, he’d already suspected—now his guess was confirmed.

“I wonder which point in the plot they’re currently at?”

Thinking this, Lu Qingshan continued introducing in the chat group.

【Lu Qingshan: You’ve joined the Multiverse Chat Group. I’m the group owner!】

【Lu Qingshan: The Multiverse Chat Group connects people from countless worlds, allowing everyone to help each other and grow together!】

……

In the Starry Great Forest, Tianmeng Bingcan, after listening to Lu Qingshan’s introduction, looked utterly confused.

Though a million-year soul beast, its life experience was extremely limited—it had no understanding of Lu Qingshan’s “multiverse.”

【Tianmeng Bingcan: Multiverse? So you’re not from Douluo Continent?】

【Lu Qingshan: Correct! Not only are we not from Douluo Continent—we’re not even from any of the minor realms under your world’s Divine Realm!】

【Tianmeng Bingcan: Divine Realm? So you’ve all become gods?】

【Lu Qingshan: Our cultivation systems differ across worlds. I can’t explain everything now. As we spend more time together, you’ll understand.】

……

Wutancheng, Xiao family.

Compared to Tianmeng Bingcan, Xiao Yan—as a transmigrant—naturally accepted the chat group easily.

As for the “multiverse,” it was the same—he’d once transmigrated from Earth to another qi world.

So Xiao Yan’s focus was clearly elsewhere.

【Xiao Yan: Group owner, hello. You said we should help each other—could you help me?】

【Xiao Yan: For years, my cultivation has been regressing. I was already a Douzhe, but now I’ve dropped to only three stages of Dou Qi. Every day, the qi I cultivate vanishes—do you know why?】

【Lu Qingshan: Don’t worry—this problem will be easily solved soon! @Xiao Yan, how long has your cultivation been regressing?】

【Xiao Yan: About three years, I think. Group owner, can you really fix this?】

Seeing someone question Lu Qingshan, Yue Buqun, who had been monitoring the group, spoke first.

【Yue Buqun: @Xiao Yan, the group owner has cultivated for millions of years—his strength is unfathomable. Why would he lie to you?】

【Lu Qingshan: Yue Master, you flatter me! @Xiao Yan, I can solve your cultivation issue only because I know your story.】

【Lu Qingshan: I’ll upload two novels first. After reading them, you’ll all understand.】

【System Notice: Group owner Lu Qingshan uploaded “The Supreme Tang Men.” Upload successful.】

【System Notice: Group owner Lu Qingshan set “The Supreme Tang Men” to be viewable only by Tianmeng Bingcan. Other members need Tianmeng Bingcan’s permission to view it.】

【System Notice: Group owner Lu Qingshan uploaded “Dou Po Cang Qiong.” Upload successful.】

【System Notice: Group owner Lu Qingshan set “Dou Po Cang Qiong” to be viewable only by Xiao Yan. Other members need Xiao Yan’s permission to view it.】

……

Wutancheng, Xiao family.

“Dou Po Cang Qiong? A novel? If I read it, I’ll understand?”

Xiao Yan stared at the novel “Dou Po Cang Qiong” just uploaded by Group Owner Lu Qingshan. Though puzzled, he quickly clicked to open it.

Instantly, the entire novel’s content appeared in his mind—a new feature after the chat group’s upgrade, eliminating the need to browse or flip pages.

“So the root cause of my cultivation regression is the soul of a Dou Zun!”

After reviewing the novel’s content in his mind, Xiao Yan finally understood why his cultivation had regressed. He lowered his gaze to the black, ancient ring his mother had left him.

Who could have imagined it contained the soul of a Dou Zun?

And he was an expert alchemist!

At that moment, a worried voice suddenly sounded in Xiao Yan’s ear: “Brother Xiao Yan, what’s wrong?”

Hearing Xiao Xun’er’s voice, Xiao Yan snapped back to reality.

Looking at the breathtakingly beautiful girl before him, Xiao Yan silently marveled.

If he hadn’t read “Dou Po Cang Qiong,” who would have guessed this girl had such a grand background?

Daughter of Gu Yuan, patriarch of the Gu Clan—the supreme powerhouse of the Qi Continent!

“Xun’er, I’m fine.”

Xiao Yan shook his head. “Just mentally tired. I’ll rest now—we’ll talk again later.”

Though he now knew the cause of his regression, his mind was flooded with questions and confusion—he had no interest in chatting with Xiao Xun’er.

“Alright!” Xiao Xun’er nodded. “Brother Xiao Yan, you must stay strong. I believe you’ll become a powerhouse one day!”

……

In the Starry Great Forest.

Looking at the novel “The Supreme Tang Men” uploaded by Lu Qingshan, Tianmeng Bingcan looked puzzled.

Unlike Xiao Yan, the transmigrant who knew chat groups and novels well, Tianmeng Bingcan understood nothing about them.

But following the chat group’s prompt, it opened the novel—visible only to it—“The Supreme Tang Men.”

When the novel’s content flooded into its mind:

“Hahaha… Hahaha…”

Tianmeng Bingcan burst into laughter: “Hahaha! My plan actually worked! Hahaha! I’m truly a genius!”

Seeing himself ultimately become a soul ring for this boy—and with Bingdi beside him—it was even happier than devouring a massive lump of ten-thousand-year ice marrow!

Carefully considering, Tianmeng Bingcan’s current personality matched the original text—it had once been described as utterly naive to human malice, and becoming the soul ring of a boy like Huo Yuhao was indeed a stroke of luck.

I’m busy today—next chapter will be late.
