Chapter 2018: Trap Set for a Semi-Saint (First Update, Request Subscription)

As Jin Yanzi and Hua Zi bickered, Zhu Yuanzhang had already signed a pact with Ding Xiu, agreed on profit distribution, and begun mobilizing troops.

Calling it mobilizing troops was an exaggeration—for the Great Ming Immortal Dynasty now, it was merely a routine matter: gathering a hundred soldiers from the capital garrison.

As an elder of the chat group, Zhu Yuanzhang's strength was certainly not to be underestimated; he had long been at the Quasi-Saint realm.

These soldiers had all long since reached the Heavenly Immortal realm or higher.

Had he not feared celestial upheaval, Old Zhu would have sent only one person to take over the Great Ming world.

After all, a single Heavenly Immortal could suppress an entire small thousand-world.

It could be said that the mutations across the myriad worlds had greatly increased the cost of maintaining each Immortal Dynasty's dominion.

Great Ming world.

Ding Xiu had no intention of meddling too much.

After all, he was merely a man of the Jianghu, only knowing how to slash and kill; asking him to govern the world would leave him utterly clueless.

Now that he had joined the chat group and could cultivate, he was perfectly content to leave the world to Zhu Yuanzhang and enjoy peace.

While in seclusion, he sensed a terrifying aura descend.

Ding Xiu frowned: "Something's off—if Old Zhu's people were coming, they wouldn't be so rude."

Having understood the chat group, Ding Xiu knew everyone generally followed the rules; no one would casually harm another member.

If such a thing happened, the members would surely rise up against the offender—even the Dao Lords might punish them.

Members all had their own sense of propriety; they wouldn't do anything so absurd.

"Could the heavens and earth have mutated?"

Ding Xiu's heart tightened; he immediately broke seclusion and searched, but found not a single clue.

"My strength is still too weak—I need to push Old Zhu harder!"

With a thought, he opened the chat group.

Ding Xiu: "Old Zhu, I just sensed a terrifying aura—possibly a celestial mutation. Have your people move faster."

Zhu Yuanzhang: "Celestial mutation? Didn't expect us to run into this too～｀."

Su Xiao: "Normal—it's a phenomenon spreading across all worlds. If the side-character chat group members can encounter it, so can we. Old Zhu, need help?"

Zhu Yuanzhang: "Not yet—I'll go take a look. Honestly, I've never seen a celestial mutation before!"

Zhu Wushi: "I want to go too. That world seems to be under Chongzhen's rule—I'd like to meet that descendant."

Zhu Youjian: "What's wrong with you? What's so special about Chongzhen?"

Zhu Wushi: "What, scared of looking foolish?"

Zhu Youjian: "What am I afraid of? I've become a Quasi-Saint—how could past events still haunt me?"

Zhu Yuanzhang: "Enough. Anyone who wants to go may go. But don't slack off on military readiness in any world—no one knows if the mutation might strike our own base."

Zhu Wushi: "Rest assured, Ancestor."
