Chapter 144

Originally, in the chat group, some members' futures, as Chen Ziyu said, naturally had both good and bad outcomes.

Like Long Juan and Mo Ganna, they may have endured hardships early on, but later, with their power, they at least lived for themselves.

As for Zhang Sanfeng, that goes without saying.

As the Sect Master of Mount Wudang in the Heavenly Sword World, he was the one who suppressed an entire Wu Lin, and all the Wu Lingaoshou in the Jiang Hu revered Zhang Sanfeng.

This alone shows that Zhang Sanfeng lived well in his own world.

If anyone in the group had it slightly worse, it would be Like Lan Ran and Lin Pingzhi.

The former, Like Lan Ran, according to Chen Ziyu, as the villain of the Bleach World, betrayed the Shinigami, entered the Hueco Mundo, and became its master—but was ultimately captured and imprisoned.

But that's just the fate of the defeated, and there's nothing to be done about it.

In response, Like Lan Ran said that, according to his original history, he would have accepted defeat as well.

Although Like Lan Ran sought even greater power, it doesn't mean he refused to admit defeat after being beaten.

As a major figure, Like Lan Ran still had that kind of confidence.

But now that he has joined the chat group, Like Lan Ran said he intends to change his original historical self.

Perhaps he will still study the Hōgyoku to enhance his strength.

But now, Like Lan Ran's greater focus is on the chat group.

The power in his Bleach World is completely incomparable to the power appearing in the chat group.

Not to mention that among the Heavens and Myriad Worlds, many worlds are far stronger than his.

For example, the world Mo Ganna comes from is no less formidable than his own, and in some ways even more terrifying.

His Bleach World is confined to a single planet.

But Mo Ganna's world has already extended into the cosmos.

Therefore, for Like Lan Ran, his pursuit of the Hōgyoku no longer carries the same desire as before.

For him, what matters most now is earning points.

Signing in only grants a small amount of points; previously, completing missions gave Like Lan Ran a new goal: to complete missions.

That way, he can earn large amounts of points and exchange them for celestial treasures and earthly essences that aid his strength.

This is now the sole thought in Like Lan Ran's mind.

The other, Lin Pingzhi, according to normal historical development, was the most tragic among the original group members.

He was originally a wealthy second-generation son of a escort agency, but because Yu Canghai coveted the Biexie Sword Manual, his family was wiped out, and he himself endured a life of humiliation.

Later, when he became a disciple of Huashan Sect, he met no better fate.

He was targeted by the hypocrite Yue Buqun.

But in some sense, Lin Pingzhi ultimately did achieve revenge—though to do so, he darkened and twisted himself, even becoming a Eunuch.

To some extent, he truly was tragic.

Lin Pingzhi, upon joining the group and learning of this fate, has always wanted to change it.

Not long ago, he finally altered history, and this allowed Lin Pingzhi to breathe a sigh of relief.

Yu Canghai's death had already reversed his original fate.

Now, the new member Uchiha Madara, in terms of tragedy, is no less than Lin Pingzhi.

He spent his entire life in ignorance, manipulated like a puppet by the black figure, Black Zetsu.

No wonder Zhang Sanfeng, Mo Ganna, and others sighed at the sight of it.

Naruto World.

Originally, when Uchiha Madara described his situation, he wanted to hear what the group members would say.

According to the group members' words, they might be able to change his fate.

Change fate.

Uchiha Madara found it hard to believe, but since saying his situation wouldn't hurt anything, he revealed his basic identity.

After all, even if he told others in the Naruto World about his situation, it wouldn't matter.

He never mentioned key factors like Obito or the Rinnegan.

So he was curious to hear what these group members might say.

In response,

Ye Hei, who dwelled in the Zhege Tian world, was also eager.

Since entering the group alongside him, the member named Uchiha Madara's behavior might help him better understand the true nature of the Multiverse Chat Group.

At this point, Ye Hei already largely believed in the existence of the chat group; he merely wanted to confirm it further.

"I will be resurrected," Uchiha Madara said, smiling upon seeing Chen Ziyu's message.

Although he didn't know if Chen Ziyu's words were true, at least they were pleasant to hear.

After all, even though he had prepared many contingencies, human hearts were the hardest to control.

Whether he could truly be resurrected as he had planned was uncertain.

But Uchiha Madara's smile didn't last long—he froze when he saw what came after.

Black Zetsu had deceived him all along; the stone tablet he saw at the ancestral home was fake; the Infinite Tsukuyomi was merely a jutsu to revive Ōtsutsuki Kaguya.

It had nothing whatsoever to do with peace.

He had been kept in the dark all along.

One after another revelation struck Uchiha Madara, causing his aged body to tremble uncontrollably.

Whether past efforts or later schemes, his goal had always been the Infinite Tsukuyomi, world peace.

In some sense, Uchiha Madara himself held certain ideals.

But unlike Hashirama Senju, Uchiha Madara's methods to achieve peace were entirely different.

This is also why, as friends, they would part ways after establishing Konoha.

But clearly, Hashirama Senju's peace was not lasting.

Since the establishment of the major ninja villages—while Hashirama Senju was still alive—the Ninja World enjoyed a brief peace.

But after Hashirama Senju died.

Since then, the major ninja villages have engaged in several large-scale battles, not to mention minor skirmishes.

It was precisely because of this that Uchiha Madara grew even more skeptical of Hashirama Senju's so-called peace.

If Uchiha Madara had still been young, he would have long since acted, gathering the Tailed Beasts and casting Infinite Tsukuyomi.

Unfortunately, he was now old, which is why he arranged these backup plans—to ensure his eventual resurrection.

But now, from the mouths of the members of this Multiverse Chat Group, everything he had experienced turned out to be false, delivering an immense shock to his heart.

He refused to believe it was all false.

If it was false, then what had all his past efforts amounted to?

Subconsciously, Uchiha Madara did not want to believe it, yet Chen Ziyu's words somehow proved the truth.

Otherwise, how could she know about Black Zetsu? How could she know about Infinite Tsukuyomi?

He had never told anyone else these things—unless it was Black Zetsu.

But Uchiha Madara knew this was impossible.

"Everything is false. Everything is truly false." In the cave, Uchiha Madara's laughter sounded utterly deranged.

Anyone hearing it would likely think the old man had gone mad.

Yes.

If he wished, Uchiha Madara said, let him be mad—what of it?

But Uchiha Madara did not want to be mad; being deceived by Black Zetsu, his actions seemed to prove just how foolish he had been.

If he could, he would make Black Zetsu pay.

"I, Uchiha Madara, have been deceived." Uchiha Madara's eyes held a trace of mockery.

This mockery was also directed at himself.

Originally, Uchiha Madara believed he was nearly invincible, convinced that all his plans were under his control.

Whether it was Uchiha Obito or Zhang Sect, Uchiha Madara had been confident.

But now, all that confidence seemed like a joke.

Perhaps in the future he could be resurrected—with Black Zetsu's help, after all, Black Zetsu had been useful in reviving the people he wished to bring back.

But for Uchiha Madara at this moment, there remained one lingering doubt.

Why did the group members know his future?

Could it be that this Chen Ziyu could foretell his future?
