Chapter 446: Openly Harvesting Wool with Moral Authority

Luo Qianqiu: “This Zhou Tian Di initially controlled the composite of rule-based horror and supernatural eerie phenomena—the Southern Heavenly Gate—and then, like the Master of the Toilet, established the demonic organization known as the Heavenly Court, eventually rising step by step from gatekeeper of the Heavenly Court to the throne of Zhou Tian Di atop the High Heaven.”

Luo Qianqiu: “That’s precisely why I say this Zhou Tian Di is a composite of the Master of the Toilet and Erlang Shen.”

Luo Qianqiu: “The world’s cosmology is essentially a composite of eerie supernatural elements and alchemical sequences.”

Luo Qianqiu: “Zhou Tian Di’s real name is Zhou Zhe. Like the Master of the Toilet, he is a fake transmigrator who, like Erlang Shen, ultimately rose to the pinnacle in this despairing world and single-handedly suppressed the chaos.”

Luo Qianqiu: “More strangely, by the time he achieved the status of Supreme Tian Di, was he still the human named Zhou Zhe—or had he become an eerie legend bearing the name Tian Di?”

Luo Qianqiu: “No one can be certain.”

While speaking, Luo Qianqiu casually uploaded the two novels so everyone would know exactly who the Master of the Toilet and Erlang Shen were.

Chen Nan: "...I have to say, this Emperor Zhou really resembles the personalities of those two; if Itachi combine them, it's not exactly the same, but their life trajectories are about 60 to 70 percent similar."

[8] Chen Nan: “I have to admit, this Zhou Tian Di really does resemble the two of them in character design—combine them, and while not identical, his life trajectory shares roughly sixty to seventy percent similarity.”

Chen Nan: “No wonder the group owner, despite knowing this world is literally a shitpit, still leans toward inviting him…”

Chen Nan: “This Zhou Tian Di possesses both the reckless cowardice and the duality of fate’s beacon, and the cold, decisive slaughter of Erlang Shen at critical moments. Even more remarkable—he not only shares their personality and experiences, but even their sense of responsibility is strikingly similar!”

Even Chen Nan couldn’t help shaking his head at this point.

Honestly, if this Zhou Tian Di’s origin world hadn’t been such a shitpit, Luo Qianqiu would’ve immediately approved his invitation.

But…

Would any normal person actually want to get involved in a shitpit world like this?

Normal people avoid such worlds like the plague; even top-tier experts regard them as something indescribably foul…

That’s precisely why Luo Qianqiu, as group owner, is hesitating—because both candidate members have serious issues.

Guanyuan Ai is one thing, but this Zhou Tian Di…

Is truly hard to decide on.

Luo Qianqiu: “Guanyuan Ai’s slot is basically confirmed. This girl isn’t a doormat, nor is she evil—comparing her to others, she’d probably sit at the same table as Orange.”

Luo Qianqiu: “I’ve confirmed through the group chat that this eternal legal loli hasn’t changed her personality because of her [Sane One] label—but…”

Luo Qianqiu: “So, what do Itachi all think about this Zhou Tian Di?”

This was the most agonizing point for Luo Qianqiu.

In terms of character, responsibility, and ability, this Zhou Tian Di has no flaws at all—it’s just his origin…

It’s enough to give anyone a headache!

Baishen Taiyi: “...This is indeed a deadly problem.”

Baishen Taiyi: “The power system of this world seems to contain a subtle yet extremely lethal contamination ability—who can guarantee that when this Zhou Tian Di visits our world, he won’t bring this deadly force with him?”

Baishen Taiyi: “But if most group members refuse his visit, isn’t that just bullying? Then why even let him join the group chat?”

Baishen Taiyi’s words plunged many members into thought.

The current atmosphere of the group chat is excellent; everyone consciously maintains it.

This can be seen from the strength disparity among group members.

The strongest members, like Hermes and Luo Qianqiu, could erase everyone else in an instant if they wished.

Yet in reality, while the powerful are respected, that respect stems from their care for weaker members—not from privilege granted by strength. Fundamentally, everyone holds relatively equal status.

Even Luo Qianqiu, as group owner, has never abused her authority for special treatment.

Under these circumstances, every new member’s admission must be handled with extreme caution—never based purely on self-interest.

Luo Qianqiu: “@Hermes, what’s your opinion?”

As a great being and group owner, she had the power to resolve this herself.

But as group owner, she needed to consider whether other members could accept it.

If resentment lingers, it’s better to reject him outright from the start.

Hermes: “Add him.”

Hermes: “Group members possess the ability to travel across all worlds—that’s a privilege granted by the group chat.”

Hermes: “But if misused, this privilege might bring about things none of us want to see.”

Hermes: “Qianqiu, perhaps it’s time Itachi, as group owner, take responsibility and impose some conditional restrictions on this privilege.”

Sometimes, members act without ill intent—but unintentional actions can still cause harm.

The group chat grants this privilege as a benefit to all members, requiring only a small amount of points—

This system is far too crude.

Most members lack the vision of great beings, yet wield their privileges—that’s virtue mismatched with position.

When disaster strikes, Itachi can just walk away, but what about the member who invited Itachi in?

They’ll bear the consequences.

Luo Qianqiu: “Hmm, that makes sense.”

Luo Qianqiu: “So in the end, it still comes down to me manually updating the group chat!”

Luo Qianqiu: “Without me, this group chat will fall apart sooner or later!”

After this unapologetic boast, Luo Qianqiu immediately opened the backend interface and made deeper, finer adjustments.

Such deep, subtle operations into the group chat’s core structure would have been impossible for her before she achieved the Dao—but now…

She had it in the palm of her hand!

Just as Luo Qianqiu began working, she suddenly sensed something and stared blankly at a certain spot:

“Well, so now Itachi’re openly harvesting my wool?”

“Knowledge sitting there can’t appreciate itself—what’s wrong with me taking a look?”

At that moment, Hermes’ amused voice suddenly sounded beside Luo Qianqiu:

“Besides, the group chat hasn’t said anything—silence means consent, and consent means I, as a member, have the right to observe the group chat.”
