Chapter 1638: The Lord

Suzuki Satoru: "??? What's going on? Did I say something wrong?"

Hu Yifei: "Hehe, when talking about chopping down an older brother, how could we leave out the two old Lis?"

Zhu Yuanzhang: "This is open chopping, not that sneaky kind like Zhao Guangyi's."

Ying Zheng: "Old Li, you're straightforward—never play those hidden games."

Li Shimin: "How long are you all going to keep teasing me about this? Besides, didn't I bring that guy back to life?"

Su Xiao: "??? What? You brought Li Jiancheng back to life? Aren't you afraid he'll seize the throne?"

Li Er: "Stop joking. What could Li Jiancheng possibly use to seize it? You've got to realize—we're all Luo Jinxian now. Li Jiancheng? Just a mortal."

Zhu Yuanzhang: "Didn't expect you'd pull off something like this."

Li Shimin: "If you have the power, why not use it? The Xuanwu Gate Incident? I had no choice. Either he dies, or I die. How could I hesitate?"

Suzuki Satoru: "I see."

Long Er: "You, this Japanese, be careful what you say. Everyone here is a deity—if you offend one, your life won't last."

Zhou Qing: "Never thought I'd get lucky enough to join this transcendent organization. Immortality—what a temptation."

Su Xiao: "Temptation? That's not really important to you."

Zhou Qing: "Not important? Are you kidding? Can a mortal resist this temptation?"

Ye Hei: "No, she just means you'll be incredibly powerful in the future—even without joining this chat group, you'd still achieve immortality."

Zhou Qing: "So… is the so-called Lord of the Tianjiao Sect my future title?"

Su Xiao: "Exactly."

Yunxiao: "Lord of the Tianjiao Sect? That's a bold title. Is the new member destined for great achievements?"

Zhou Qing: "??? Are you the legendary Lady Yunxiao? This… can't be real— even ancient transcendents are here?"

Xiao Mai: "What's so surprising? But the Yunxiao here isn't the same as the Yunxiao Immortal from your world. In your world, the Divine Investiture War hasn't even started yet!"

Zhou Qing: "Multiverse, I get it. By the way, since you say I'll achieve great things in the future, you must know my story, right?"

Su Xiao: "Right. 【X Ben Shi Dao】—go, Pikachu."

Pikachu: "Who called me?"

Xiao Mai: "Laughing so hard—someone's busy with Ash, and you're pulling him out."

Pikachu: "Oh, it's just a meme. I'm still here! Su Xiao, you're interrupting my playtime again."

Zhou Qing: "Huh? So I end up offending this many people? Earth Immortals? Dao Sovereigns?"

Zhou Qing: "So my future was this eventful?"

Ye Hei: "Zhou Brother's experiences are truly enviable."

Zhou Qing: "Don't envy me—it's too tragic. Even after becoming Hunyuan, tragedy still struck. What a miserable Hunyuan Sovereign I was."

Su Xiao: "In the end, it's just because your power wasn't enough."

Yunxiao: "Exactly. If you surpass the Dao of Heaven, none of this would happen. Besides, now that you've joined the chat group, as long as you toss someone into another world, even the Dao of Heaven can't reach them."

Su Xiao: "But the world you toss them into must be strong enough—otherwise, it's a primordial chaos world. Something might go wrong."

Zhou Qing: "Stronger than a Hunyuan Sovereign? Is that even possible?"

Su Xiao: "What's impossible? Just earlier, Taixuan Brother slew a Hunyuan Perfect Sovereign. A technique rivaling the Dao of Heaven has already been created. In the future, there will surely be techniques that surpass the Dao of Heaven."

Zhang Taixuan: "Not necessarily."

Su Xiao: "Can't be created? No way? I was counting on that to slack off!"

Zhang Taixuan: "Not that it can't be created—it's that after surpassing the Dao of Heaven, you begin cultivating the Great Dao. Techniques become irrelevant then."

Zhang Taixuan: "Of course, if you want a technique, it's still possible. But then, you'll find it hard to surpass the one who created it."

Su Xiao: "I don't care. Without a technique, cultivating by self-realization is such a hassle. Better to just cultivate a technique—it's easier."

Yunxiao: "That's so Su Xiao."

Xiao Mai: "I can't even imagine cultivating by self-realization. The difficulty is too high. Honestly, just reaching my current level already feels incredible."

Zhou Qing: "Huh? Just watched the previous video—the Nightmare Lord was a Hunyuan Luo Jinxian Perfect? And he got cut down so easily?"

Yunxiao: "Without comprehending the Great Dao, only cultivating power, you naturally leave gaping flaws—easily reduced to ash."

Zhang Taixuan: "Exactly. If he had comprehended the true essence of Hunyuan, he wouldn't have been so easy to kill."

Zhou Qing: "…Taixuan? Are you the one who created all the techniques labeled 'Taixuan Dao' in the Shangcheng?"

Su Xiao: "Exactly. Hehe, most items in the Shangcheng were uploaded by Taixuan Brother. We say the chat group helps each other, but that's a bit self-praising—it's always Taixuan Brother helping everyone."

Xiao Mai: "Right. If not for Taixuan Brother's help, my world was utterly destitute—how could I have ever reached the Luo Jinxian realm?"

Long Er: "Luo Jinxian realm… so awe-inspiring. Never thought a simple martial woman like me would meet a Luo Jinxian immortal. Can I even cultivate into an immortal?"

Su Xiao: "Of course. We all started as mortals."

Zhao Kuangyin: "Exactly."

Su Xiao: "Long Er Miss, want to see your story?"

Long Er: "Can I?"

Xiao Mai: "Of course! It's one of our group's perks (Wang Nuozhao), hehe."

Su Xiao: "Right. 【The Duke of Mount Deer, Movie Version】—here you go."

Long Er: "Thank you all."

Zhou Qing: "This is just given away for free? This is someone's entire fate! I thought there'd be some cost!"

Su Xiao: "I thought the same at first. Then I realized my family was obscenely rich, so I started giving them away for free. Why make the chat group feel so transactional over a few points?"

Yue Buqun: "…Speaking of which, I'm speechless. Back then, I thought Su Miss was broke, so I traded Wu Gong for info with her. Then—next day—she said she had tons of points. I was left utterly silent."

Su Xiao: "Hehe, I didn't know either. Suzuki Satoru, what about you?"

Suzuki Satoru: "Me? I'm just a lowly commoner—do I even have a 'story'? That's just weird."
