Chapter 11: Move Aside, I

"Have you seen me?"

Meng Qi's pupils contracted; if he had previously thought that Zhang Xuan only possessed the ability of foresight because he was on Earth, and thus could spoil the plot and gain many benefits,

then seeing this, he could no longer sit still.

A character located within the Zhetian Universe being able to know the experiences of Covering the Sky was, in itself, already bizarre enough.

Yet, this person not only knew Covering the Sky, but even knew about his own world.

Meng Qi's first reaction was a refusal to believe.

Not Wanting to Be a Monk: This... how is this possible?

Meng Qi still found it hard to accept; having read Covering the Sky or The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber was fine, after all, they were all people from Earth, and a large portion of people had read these, at the very least he had.

But to have even read his life's fate and experiences, this was truly bizarre and absurd. Could it be that he was also a character in a world created by that so-called Heavenly Dao Controller?

Meng Qi was unwilling to believe it.

That Zhang Sanfeng was a character in a novel was a consensus, after all, The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber had been out for many years.

But he was not.

If he too had become a character in a novel, a person in a storybook, he would find it truly hard to accept.

He was a living, breathing person with his own personality and his own choices.

He could be certain that every choice was a decision made by himself, not relying on others; he was not a marionette being manipulated by someone else.

He did not believe that he was merely a character under some author's pen.

Even though the group announcement stated everything very clearly, Meng Qi, due to his preconceived notions, still felt that the whole thing was a scam, just a lie fabricated by a transmigrator, or someone who knew many novel and film plots.

Zhang Xuan: I don't want to believe it either, but when that Heavenly Dao Controller appeared back then, I did indeed see it, and I even made a fortune relying on this.

The corners of Zhang Xuan's mouth curved slightly, knowing that Meng Qi was also gradually starting to believe.

If a person truly did not believe in something, they would not ask about it at all, nor would they investigate it.

Meng Qi was now cautiously asking, which indicated that he already believed a portion of it.

Moreover, there was no way to lie about this matter; one could learn many situations just by asking a little.

Zhang Xuan did not intend to lie about this matter either.

Not Wanting to Be a Monk: Made a fortune relying on this?

Zhang Xuan: 【Yes, at the very beginning, I thought the world I was in was a world without magic.

Although there were myths and legends, there were no martial artists leaping onto roofs and vaulting over walls, nor were there any cultivators.

Therefore, after joining the Chat Group and discovering there were no superpowers, I wrote the scenes of the birth and destruction of many worlds displayed by the Heavenly Dao Controller into a novel.

Because my ideas were ups and downs, twisted and bizarre, and my imagination was huge, I was even called a great god of web novels by many people. I earned quite a bit of income relying on this, and my life was going quite well.

Fortunately, I didn't write this "Covering the Sky" you mentioned as you said before, otherwise, I reckon there would be big trouble.

By the way, does the world you are in also have these related legends? The world you are in should also be a very low-end world without magic or a low-magic world, right?

Only a world without magic or a low-magic world can receive so much information.

The fate of a powerful world might just be a dream for many people in a low-end world.

And only by possessing the Wanjie Chat Group can one break this dream and connect the dream with reality.】

Hearing this, Meng Qi's whole body shook.

Combining this passage from Zhang Xuan, he suddenly awakened.

He was not living under anyone's pen, nor was he a character created by some author; he was himself, the one and only Meng Qi.

The reason why some people used pen and ink to outline bizarre and complete worlds was not because those authors created him, but because partial projections of higher worlds fell into their minds, allowing them to create these stories.

After taking several deep breaths in succession, Meng Qi gradually calmed his mood, and then asked about the matter he was most concerned about.

Not Wanting to Be a Monk: 【You once saw the threads of fate at the Heavenly Dao Controller's place, so what will my fate be?

Do I really have to be a sweeping monk in Shaolin Temple for my whole life? I'm not willing to do that; at the very least, I must become a Sweeping Monk.】

Meng Qi said this sentence with a very joking tone, but he was very nervous in his heart while speaking.

How many sincere words are spoken in a joking manner.

Fortunately, Zhang Xuan's response did not disappoint him.

Zhang Xuan: 【Your thread of fate is extremely complex and terrifying; I don't even dare to inform you of the full situation.

Because if you knew and revealed it, then the person manipulating you from behind would also know.

As for being a monk for a lifetime, that is impossible; it won't be long before you return to secular life and go home.】

Meng Qi felt a sense of relief in his heart, but also felt that what the other party said was too vague.

As far as the current situation was concerned, the world he was in was a low-martial or mid-martial world; many people in Shaolin Temple might have martial arts cultivation, but none had revealed any overly transcendent aspects, and he did not feel that such a world would have anything that would make the other party have misgivings.

At the same time, the information the other party revealed was too little and did not reveal the ability of foresight, which made him still somewhat wavering in his heart, unwilling to believe it completely.

On the other side, Zhang Xuan, who was in his bedroom, also understood that his words did not reveal too much, and Meng Qi should not completely believe him.

He still had to reveal some more information to gain Meng Qi's trust.

Zhang Xuan: Before long, you will notice an anomaly; you will not be ordinary for too long. Many people hope that you will quickly become strong. That Small Jade Buddha left to you by that servant in your family is a great opportunity in the future.

Zhang Xuan did not reveal too much; after all, Meng Qi was a modern person who had been exposed to too much information and had experienced too many scams, so it was normal for his mind to be a bit heavy.

He did not need to make Meng Qi believe him immediately; gaining Meng Qi's trust bit by bit was enough.

And the Small Jade Buddha by Meng Qi's side was the key to opening the Six Paths of Reincarnation in the early stages. As long as this point was clicked, Meng Qi would naturally have more trust in him, and he could slowly supplement it in the future.

Zhang Xuan knew his own positioning very well; he was an ordinary person now, but he possessed the Wanjie Chat Group. In the group, his persona was that he was equal to many people, and there was no distinction between high and low.

He knew many secrets and did not need to deliberately lick the protagonists or deliberately please them; he only needed to communicate normally and equally, and help each other.

If he went to lick them directly now, he might be able to get many benefits, but some things, once lost, could not be picked up in the future.

Possessing the Wanjie Chat Group, Zhang Xuan did not feel that he was inferior to others. Among the members in the Chat Group, there might appear many extremely powerful big shots who were Tier 11 in his settings in the future, but his own future was equally bright.

He did not need to deliberately please anyone; equal communication and mutual help were enough.

"Jade Buddha?"

Meng Qi's heart jolted; after joining the Chat Group, he had only introduced himself as Zhending, a disciple of the Miscellaneous Affairs Courtyard of Shaolin, and had not mentioned anything more specific or subtle at all.

Let alone the Small Jade Buddha he carried in his bosom, yet Zhang Xuan, separated from him by a world, was able to clearly know that he had a Small Jade Buddha in his bosom, and that the Jade Buddha was the key to a great opportunity he would soon encounter.

Regarding Zhang Xuan's words, he already believed them eight or nine parts.

A stormy sea was instantly stirred up in his heart.

He could not help but look once again at the three Administrators in the group.

Especially the one ranked third, known as the Ten-Tier Heavenly Dao Controller.

"If a Ten-Tier Heavenly Dao Controller can create and destroy countless worlds and display unimaginable, magnificent power, then what kind of figures are the Dao Fruit and End of the Road who are at a level above him?"

With a stormy sea stirred up in his heart and all sorts of incredible feelings, Meng Qi simultaneously felt endless confidence arise within him.

With such great figures in the Chat Group and such a fierce backer, couldn't his future destiny be easily reversed?

With thoughts churning in his mind, Meng Qi could not help but speak again.

Not Wanting to Be a Monk: There are three Administrators in the Chat Group, but why haven't I seen them come out to bubble up?

Zhang Sanfeng: I haven't joined the group chat for very long, and I was busy getting Black Jade Ointment for my disciples before, so I'm not very clear on that.

Zhang Xuan: Figures like them sometimes bubble up and sometimes don't; there is no set pattern.

I am not very sure either; I joined earlier than you all, but I have only seen the Heavenly Dao Controller manifest before us and display the ability to create a world in the group.

However, I have a guess: given the strength and realm of the Administrators, perhaps a single seclusion lasts for thousands or tens of thousands of years, or even longer; their concept of time must be vastly different from ours.

Perhaps only when we are strong enough and truly achieve Chang Sheng will we be able to see them bubble up on a daily basis.

This long paragraph was, of course, made up by Zhang Xuan; the Administrators weren't bubbling up because he hadn't logged on.

However, in the early stages, Zhang Xuan did not intend to let these Administrators bubble up and log on at will; after all, his own strength and "cool factor" were insufficient, and once they logged on, it would be easy to slip up and cause problems.

It could only be said: not necessary, not logging on.

Only when there is a large-scale scene for showing off or a need to show off will these Administrators log on to bubble up once.

As for now, Zhang Xuan felt he could fool Zhang Sanfeng and Meng Qi himself; there was no need to use these alternate accounts.

"So that's how it is?"

Meng Qi had countless doubts in his heart, but at the same time, he felt that Zhang Xuan's explanation must be correct.

Countless thoughts were churning in his mind, but he had no general clue.

"Forget it, thinking about other things is all empty; improving myself is what's important!"

Meng Qi felt he could not continue to let his imagination run wild like this, and thinking of the Group File he had inadvertently seen while browsing the group announcement just now, his heart stirred.

Ding, Not Wanting to Be a Monk has downloaded the Group File Nine Yang Divine Art!

Ding, Not Wanting to Be a Monk has downloaded the Group File Black Jade Ointment recipe!

Ding, Not Wanting to Be a Monk has downloaded the Group File Wudang Cloud-Stepping Steps!

Watching the messages popping up one after another, the corners of Zhang Xuan's mouth curved slightly.
