Chapter 260: Chat Group? Hand It Over! (Request Monthly Tickets! Request Follow!)

Blinding white light exploded, and an immense force surged forth, expanding at breakneck speed—everything tangible and intangible it passed through was utterly annihilated.

This force was so terrifying that even the magnetic field near Venus twisted, manifesting as thunderstorms and other horrifying phenomena across the surface of the pale golden planet.

After an unknown length of time, these phenomena and the grand white light finally dimmed and vanished, returning to the original darkness of the starry void.

Hummm—

Ripples stirred in the void; Wu Xian's figure slowly emerged from the darkness, his expression slightly weary—clearly, that terrifying punch had drained immense essence and spirit, leaving him unable to recover to full strength in a short time.

Of course, taking down a Bolos was still no problem.

【Ding!】

【Killed one opponent team member. Zhongzhou team current score: +2. Reward points earned: 4, 00…】

【Gene lock unlocked by killing a team member. Reward: one B-rank subplot, 7, 00 reward points…】

【Killed one dimensional invader. Reward: one B-rank subplot, 5, 00 reward points】

At that moment, two consecutive notifications from the Master God echoed in his mind; upon hearing their contents, Wu Xian let out a quiet sigh, finally confirming Zhao Hao's death.

Then…

Wu Xian frowned slightly, gazing at the white orb floating before him—flickering faintly, about the size of a fist—his expression growing grave and complex, uncertain whether to attempt contact.

Clearly, this orb was what remained after Zhao Hao's annihilation; its origin was obvious—it had a 98% chance of being the so-called chat group system.

According to standard novel tropes, such systems typically face one of two fates after their host's death.

Either they vanish instantly, perishing with the host, or they choose a new master, becoming a servant to two surnames and launching the new host into a life of godlike arrogance and humiliation of enemies.

Wu Xian greatly anticipated the second possibility, sincerely hoping he would become that chosen one, enjoying the thrill of divine revelation before all.

What? You say he's already a cheat?

Laughable! That's all from his own hard work—how can that be called cheating?

Even if, hypothetically, he truly was cheating—so what? More cheats never weigh you down; who says one person can only have one cheat? Wouldn't another be even better?

Of course, appealing as it sounds, safety must still be considered.

The origin of this orb is unknown, and the Master God itself labeled it the source of dimensional invasion—touching or absorbing it recklessly might land him in a trap.

So the question arises: what should he do with this thing? He can't just leave it here.

As he pondered this, the orb before him suddenly stirred—transforming into a streak of white light that shot toward Wu Xian at high speed.

Seeing this, Wu Xian immediately dodged, attempting to create distance from the white light.

But the light was far too fast—seemingly transcending space and time; in the instant he conceived the thought to evade, the glow had already struck him and rapidly merged into his spiritual core.

Realizing this, Wu Xian froze in place, his face darkening—he became certain the chat group system was problematic, and he had likely been tricked.

Resigned, he closed his eyes, waiting for the system's forced-binding notification.

But…

Five minutes later, Wu Xian opened his eyes, a look of bewilderment on his face.

Where was the promised system binding? Why had nothing happened? Had his previous punch been too strong—had he broken the system?

At that moment, the Master God's notification sounded again.

【Ding!】

【Completed hidden subplot: Eliminated the source of dimensional invasion. Reward: one A-rank subplot and 10, 00 reward points for every member of the Zhongzhou Lunhui team…】

"???"

Wu Xian felt a cascade of question marks hovering above his forehead.

What? Did he just lose it?

As he stood speechless, Wu Xian suddenly felt an unusual ripple in his inner light. Surprised, he focused his thoughts—and a familiar yet alien semi-transparent interface appeared before him.

…

Meanwhile, in a hidden space within the time-fissure of the multiverse, resembling a low-dimensional realm, the owner of the silver eyes also wore a look of stunned confusion.

Where was his chat group? Where had that massive chat group gone? Why had it severed its connection to its creator? What had happened? How had that Lunhui man achieved this?!

Countless thoughts surged through the silver-eyed being's mind, and its eyes flickered with countless scenes and fragments.

If Wu Xian could have seen this, he would have been astonished—the scenes were all the Zhongzhou team's Lunhui missions, or rather, experiences involving him.

Supernatural Legend, Fan Haixin, Ju-On, Alien 1, Resident Evil 1, Final Destination 1, Scream 1, A Nightmare on Elm Street…

And then… nothing more.

The time-reversing visuals abruptly halted, frozen at the moment Wu Xian had crossed into the A Nightmare on Elm Street world—further back, no rewind was possible, as if he had never existed within this multiverse.

"Dimensional traveler?"

The silver eyes flickered. As the multiverse's foremost master of spacetime, the being knew well of this peculiar species—occasional extracosmic lifeforms descending into this world, generating countless divergent states.

Yet those beings, though foreign to this multiverse, remained fundamentally mortal—only accidentally swept in by temporal chaos and informational resonance.

Their so-called cheats were merely idle moves placed by top-tier entities within this multiverse, attempting to use them to invade the Master God space controlled by that One—many of which had originated from the being's own hand, all of them failing without exception.

Thus, upon discovering Wu Xian's anomaly—likely a dimensional traveler—the silver-eyed being felt no great surprise, only curiosity: which "old friend" stood behind him, and how had they severed its connection to its own creation?

Thinking this, the light within the silver eyes grew brighter, reflecting the radiance of sun and moon, the origin of spacetime, seeking to uncover the truth.

But the next instant, a deafening, universe-shaking roar erupted in its mind—and a dazzling, brilliant seven-colored lightning bolt flashed into its vision…

Crack—

With the sound of shattering glass, a clear crack appeared on the silver eyes, crimson light flaring—and from within the chaotic space, a muffled cry of agony echoed.

In that single instant, the silver-eyed being leaked its aura…

【Kunpeng—】

The void tore open; a light brighter than the sun by ten thousandfold stormed into the chaotic space, and within the faint silhouette, a colossal, dark-yellow celestial body was clearly visible.

【Die!!!】
