Chapter 32: Changes in the Fate Line, the Chat Group Leader Appears

"You seem to have arrived too early; we should not be meeting at this stage."

The moment his thoughts revived, the Demon Lord already knew of the many changes in the human world and the Immortal Realm.

He was somewhat puzzled; for figures like him and Dugu Baitian, they had to minimize contact as much as possible, except for the grand gathering before the slaughter of Heaven.

Because this would increase the possibility of exposure; both of them were key targets monitored by the Heavenly Dao.

If their whereabouts were exposed prematurely, it would trigger earth-shattering changes, and many people and events would become uncontrollable.

"Because there are new changes, the original battle situation must undergo some subtle shifts."

Dugu Baitian's expression did not change in the slightest, while the Demon Lord, sitting cross-legged on the God-Spirit Bed, gathered more of his thoughts; at this moment, his brows suddenly twitched.

"You have a physical body? You have reincarnated? This is meaningless!"

Only then did the Demon Lord discover that the figure before him was not purely Dugu Baitian, but a mortal who had not been on the path of cultivation for long.

"No, it is very meaningful; I have discovered another path."

The Demon Lord's gaze sharpened, and endless demonic Qi submerged this cave.

Within the ancient cave, there was only the rustling sound of wind blowing through the God-Forest skulls, and the sound of iron chains vibrating in the air inside the cavern.

Faintly, one could hear the low murmurs of Demon Gods, but the corresponding sounds were not clear.

……

I Slept for Ten Thousand Years: 【I don't know if you have noticed that the world seems to have changed; I found that I have experienced things that were not in the original Human World arc.】

Chen Nan honestly raised his doubts in the Chat Group.

He spoke in the Chat Group about how someone had taught him a technique in his dream, especially the technique that allowed him to cultivate the Nine Apertures.

In the meditation room of Shaolin Temple, Meng Qi's brows also twitched.

Recently, his life had also become strange, and he actually had considerable doubts in his heart; now, hearing Chen Nan say that he could cultivate to open the Nine Apertures, the feeling of strangeness in his heart grew even more intense.

Not Wanting to Be a Monk: 【Nine Apertures, that is actually very similar to the technique I am currently cultivating. Can you describe it in detail? Is it about opening the eyes, ears, mouth, nose, tongue...】

I Slept for Ten Thousand Years: 【Yes, yes, yes. This technique doesn't seem too strong in the early stages, but according to the person who taught me this technique in my dream, it will be terrifyingly strong when reaching the later stages...】

The strange feeling in Meng Qi's heart grew even more intense; he did not upload the technique for opening the Nine Apertures to the Chat Group, let alone the fact that he didn't even know the cultivation technique after the Nine Apertures, whereas from the chat, it was clear that Chen Nan knew it.

This made one feel uncomfortable, and even more strange.

Actually, Meng Qi had this feeling too; he didn't have a dream, but after Shaolin Temple assigned him a task, he was walking on the cliff behind the mountain and saw a cultivation art manifested on the cliff wall.

It was very similar to a normal internal energy cultivation method, but it could open up a person's survival potential, claiming that it could eventually open up an Inner Heaven and Earth.

Meng Qi was quite curious, even feeling it was strange.

He had come into contact with such a technique before, not long ago, after all, Chen Nan had once spoken in detail about the world he was in and mentioned his related cultivation.

And the top-tier cultivation method that originally belonged to Chen Nan's world suddenly appeared behind Shaolin Temple, and he just happened to see it.

Meng Qi suspected that it might be the person who treated him as a fish who discovered this technique and took the initiative to bring it out, wanting to fatten up this fish of his.

He felt very uncomfortable, wanting to cry.

Clearly having obtained a powerful cultivation method, clearly having had a fortuitous encounter, clearly having the potential for greater strength, clearly a double blessing, but his mood was just uncomfortable.

When a fish is fattened up by someone, it is just like a pig being fattened up; it will eventually be slaughtered, yet he currently doesn't know who is treating him as a fish.

This feeling makes one feel both fearful and uneasy.

Meng Qi felt he was about to go crazy.

And in the Chat Group, Zhang Xuan's heart also jumped when he saw the relevant chat logs, but after deciding to exchange top-tier cultivation techniques with Dugu Baitian and Taishang Laojun, he knew the situation would definitely become chaotic.

He had long been mentally prepared, but he didn't expect it to change so quickly.

"Since that is the case, then proceed directly to the next stage!"

Zhang Xuan: 【You all have had fortuitous encounters, and they are from different worlds? Sigh, envious, I want them too! You guys are purely just humble-bragging.】

Not Wanting to Be a Monk: 【No, you don't understand, you don't understand our suffering. I am a fish being raised by someone; the fatter I get, the faster I will be killed. I don't want this kind of benefit at all, okay?】

I Slept for Ten Thousand Years: 【Ah, actually I quite want this kind of benefit. There is a lot of mist around me, and I still can't see clearly who the mastermind is, but I will grasp the power I have as much as possible, and then break the situation one day in the future.】

Zhang Sanfeng: 【I shouldn't be in the group; I should be in the mountains. You guys are saying things that make this old Daoist envious, while wearing expressions of pain; sooner or later, you will get beaten.】

Not Wanting to Be a Monk: 【...】

Not Wanting to Be a Monk: 【Forget it, forget it, I don't want to talk to you guys. I'd better find @Heavenly Dao Controller. My fate has already spiraled out of control, Great One, save me, save me.】

Silently, a bright ripple shone in the Chat Group.

The magnificent Nine Heavens appeared once again before the eyes of many; the peerless swordsman riding the wind with his sword, the powerful blade-wielder breaking the firmament with his blade, the terrifying Demon God with demonic Qi swallowing half the sky...

This ripple was a bolt of lightning tearing through the Nine Heavens, rushing straight into the firmament and submerging into the depths of the endless chaos; deep within the ancient chaos, a magnificent Heavenly Palace was faintly revealed.

Even though they had seen it once before and already had many expectations in their hearts, seeing the entrance scene of the Heavenly Dao Controller again, the people present still felt an irrepressible shock.

"Hmm? I don't know if it's my illusion, but this time I feel that the aura of that existence above the Nine Heavens is even more terrifying and powerful; it previously carried a trace of illusion, but now it has a more powerful reality."

In the Chu Kingdom Imperial Palace, Chen Nan's brows twitched slightly, thinking it should be his own illusion.

He was currently the strongest person in the Chat Group, and his senses were the sharpest; in fact, he was not wrong.

After a round of trading with Dugu Baitian and Taishang Laojun, Zhang Xuan specifically drew inspiration from the temperament of Dugu Baitian and Taishang Laojun, adding this bit of powerful temperament into the entrance scene of the Heavenly Dao Controller.

Therefore, the overall aura of the Heavenly Dao Controller became more and more real, rather than being purely fabricated by the Chat Group itself as before.

Heavenly Dao Controller: 【I had originally determined your fate line, but now your fate line has changed; indeed, someone has taken action, you are not feeling wrong.】

Meng Qi's heart jumped wildly; he had originally felt something was wrong, and now that it was confirmed by the Heavenly Dao Controller, his uneasiness instantly filled his entire heart.

Not Wanting to Be a Monk: 【Then do I still have a chance? Is there still salvation for me? Is it the Lunhui Zhi Zhu who is taking action? Can even you not stop the Lunhui Zhi Zhu?】

After saying these words, Meng Qi felt that this statement was a bit offensive, a bit like looking down on the Heavenly Dao Controller, but he was anxious in his heart and really didn't have much energy to speak with high emotional intelligence.

Heavenly Dao Controller: 【The Lunhui Zhi Zhu does not have this ability; it is other figures taking action. From my feeling, it should be a figure within the Chat Group.】

"Aha?"

Meng Qi's heart jumped, and Chen Nan's heart also tightened.

Judging from this powerful figure who suddenly took action without leaving many traces, this person's methods and abilities were earth-shattering.

They cast their gazes more toward the Administrator, where there were three of the most supreme figures, yet so far, only the Heavenly Dao Controller, who was of the lowest rank among them, had taken action.

If it were said that another figure of a higher rank had taken action, they would also be able to understand.

"Is it the End of the Road, or that Dao Fruit?"

Such thoughts surfaced in the hearts of both men.

And under their gaze, the avatar of that figure at the very top of the Chat Group lit up.

There was no vast fluctuation, only a shadow that seemed to be everywhere and yet in no specific region emerged from between the heavens and the earth.

Beyond everyone's expectations, the Group Owner's avatar lit up.

Meng Qi's heart skipped a beat, Chen Nan felt inexplicably tense, and even Zhang Sanfeng on Wudang Mountain could not help but feel nervous.

The Chat Group Owner did not manifest any strange phenomena, but having experienced the Heavenly Dao Controller before, and having seen the extraordinary abilities displayed by the Chat Group, they did not dare to be the least bit negligent.

Having joined the Chat Group for such a long time, this was the first time the Chat Group Owner had appeared; mysterious, unfathomable, and strange, they were very curious.

——

: 【There is no need to be overly nervous. I have indeed taken action before, but the Chat Group has always followed the rules of mutual help, unity, and friendship, and has never caused harm to its members.】

Through the Chat Group, Zhang Xuan could see that the three people located in different worlds were all quite nervous, so he smiled slightly, very satisfied with his entrance this time, but it was not enough yet.

He could go even further.

——

: 【You were all too small-scale and too cautious before. Since you have become Chat Group members, you should have the feeling that "my fate is determined by me, not by heaven." Why be so timid and still cling to your own fate line?】

——

: 【I have already forcibly found that fate line of yours for each of you. You can each savor it, and you may choose to make it public or choose to hide it.】

No one in the Chat Group spoke, but Zhang Xuan felt as if a great landmine had been set off in the entire Chat Group; the whole Chat Group shook.

Yes, Zhang Xuan did this on purpose.

Without revealing relevant information, relying on spoilers would not be enough to swindle many benefits; at most, he could swindle some top-tier divine arts, but Zhang Xuan could now obtain these divine arts better on his own and did not need to go through them.

Since that is the case, then he might as well just make it public directly, and by relying on this ability to reveal, the majesty of the Group Owner could be established all at once.
