Chapter 261: Zhongzhou Yandi Invites You to Join the Group (Request Monthly Votes

In the realm of divine and ghost legends, Earth, somewhere in Egypt.

At this moment, members of the Middle Earth team and the Demon team had gathered together, their faces filled with smiles and relief, showing not the slightest concern for Wu Xian's safety.

The reason was simple: besides their confidence in Wu Xian's own immense strength, more importantly, just now, a notification of hidden side quest completion had echoed in the minds of all members from both Lunhui teams.

Yes, not only the Middle Earth team, but the Demon team had also received the same hidden side quest.

After all, when Gilgamesh was slain, Zheng Zha and Fu Zha were in fused state; according to the Main God's judgment, it counted as a joint kill, naturally triggering this hidden side quest together.

Now that the Main God had confirmed the quest completed, it meant Wu Xian had killed the chat group's owner—everyone was overjoyed.

Especially the Demon team: when they arrived in the Divine and Ghost Legends world, they had ten members; now only four remained.

Excluding the copy of Zhao Zhui who had switched teams, and the vanished copy of Chu Xuan, they had lost four members total, earning a net score of -4 in team battle, requiring deduction of 8, 00 reward points.

But now, with this hidden side quest's 10, 00-point reward, they not only erased their negative score but even made a small profit—this was already a stroke of luck amid misfortune.

As for the main quest and the next team battle…

One must know one's limits: with the Demon team's current combat power, even if Wu Xian weren't blatantly overpowered, the remaining few fourth-rank fighters from the Middle Earth team could easily annihilate them.

So… how could they possibly have entertained the idea of fighting the Middle Earth team? Isn't staying alive better?

Thinking this, the copies of Cheng Xiao, Wang Chaozong, and Du Gu Feng quietly glanced toward Chu Xuan, who was injecting T-virus into the East Sea team.

Amid envy, they also felt a chill, as if seeing their own CG ending after being crushed by the Middle Earth team—a cold dread surged in their hearts.

At that moment, Zhan Lan, whose mental energy had become turbulent from overusing the Phoenix power, suddenly opened her eyes from meditation, revealing a faint smile.

"He's back."

Hearing this, everyone's spirits subtly stirred—they understood the implication of Zhan Lan's words.

Immediately, a tearing sound came from above; before they could look up, a dark shadow plummeted like a cannonball.

The impact was loud, but his feet halted abruptly just centimeters above the ground, causing no tremors or ground collapse.

"Captain!!" —xN

Members of both the Middle Earth and Demon teams instinctively shouted, then paused in surprise; the former stared at the latter with strange expressions.

Seeing this, Fu Zha, still in fused state, felt a heavy pressure on his forehead, as if something precious had been stolen.

"Looks like you all got along quite well while I was gone!"

Sensing everyone's emotional fluctuations through mental resonance and scent-based affection, Wu Xian chuckled lightly, but his attention quickly fixed on the purple-robed figure nearby.

"The Sage of Demons, Baoyun Zi?"

Watching the golden-haired woman with an elegant figure holding a folding fan, Wu Xian blinked in curiosity—wondering why she appeared among the Lunhui ers—when Zhan Lan's voice echoed in his mental network, recounting Baoyun Zi and Lan Dian's betrayal of the chat group's owner.

"First formal meeting, Captain of the Middle Earth team. Please call me Baoyun Zi henceforth. I look forward to your guidance."

Baoyun Zi closed her folding fan, lifted her skirt, and bowed gracefully to Wu Xian—her posture was exquisite and pleasing to behold.

"No need for such formalities. The Sage of Demons is renowned far and wide. Your interest in joining our Middle Earth team is our honor."

Wu Xian warmly welcomed Baoyun Zi's intention to join the Middle Earth Lunhui team.

She was a genuine fourth-rank, with immense potential in her realm power; if she genuinely aided the Middle Earth team, future horror movie missions would become far easier—far better than that high priest who slept with his brother's wife.

What? You ask where Yimoden went?

He's currently hiding in the sub-space of the Yellow Spring fragment… Though theoretically immortal, he isn't truly indestructible, so Chu Xuan didn't let him join the final battle—to prevent the East Sea team from stealing their base and completing the main quest to leave.

"All East Sea team members have unlocked their gene locks. Now we can distribute the spoils."

At that moment, Chu Xuan had just finished injecting the last East Sea team recruit with T-virus, confirmed his gene lock activation, and stored the equipment back into his storage space before turning to Wu Xian and asking: "How about you? Any gains from that ruin?"

"Hmph! How dare you ask!"

Wu Xian glared fiercely at Chu Xuan, then retrieved from his inner space some crystal fragments and energy crystals inscribed with cultivation data.

He then recounted everything that happened in the Floating Pavilion, explaining the abilities and relationship between the Divine Record of Deification and the Jade Disc of Creation—leaving everyone stunned.

What could they do? The Divine Record of Deification's power was simply too absurd.

Controlling time and space, altering reality, reversing cause and effect—each ability alone was immensely powerful; yet the Divine Record possessed them all—impossible to imagine how terrifying Chu Xuan's copy would become once fully in control of it.

"The Divine Record of Deification…"

Chu Xuan murmured, then adjusted his glasses and said: "I've grasped the basic situation. Unless something unexpected occurs, my copy will not return to the Demon team's Main God space, and likely won't appear in any Lunhui world for a long time."

"What do you mean?! Chu Xuan has left the Main God space!"

At that moment, Zheng Zha and Fu Zha separated from their fused state; hearing Chu Xuan's words, Fu Zha's expression changed instantly, urgently asking:

Chu Xuan glanced at him, then nodded slightly: "Undoubtedly, with the Divine Record of Deification and the Jade Disc of Creation to negate its side effects, my copy now possesses the ability to leave the Main God space. Given his prior behavior, he likely prepared long ago."

"And regardless of his goal, his abandonment of you during the team battle was betrayal. To avoid unnecessary conflict, parting ways with the Demon team is clearly the best choice."

"That bastard…"

Fu Zha and several Demon team members grew grim-faced, especially since these words came from Chu Xuan himself—the original—igniting fury within them, a desire to teach him a lesson.

Chu Xuan remained oblivious, continuing calmly: "But don't worry. My copy will reappear someday. After all, he currently holds only half of the Jade Disc of Creation. Even to unlock more of the Divine Record's power, he'll come seeking trouble with the Middle Earth team—and then, we'll have our chance to keep him."

"You're awfully confident. Did you already prepare a plan?"

Wu Xian raised an eyebrow, suddenly recalling the man from the end of the Honghuang Era who took the prototype of the Divine Record and half of the Heavenly Dao scroll.

Was that man Chu Xuan's copy… or…

Shaking his head, Wu Xian stopped delving deeper, and instead withdrew from his storage space two massive books—one black, one gold.

Their metallic covers bore ancient Egyptian-style paintings and script—clearly the two key artifacts from the film: the Book of the Dead and the Book of the Sun.

"The Book of the Dead was taken from Yimoden; the Book of the Sun was the spoils I gained after killing that Zhao Hao."

"Now that we have them, we only need to find Ansuana's reincarnation to complete this main quest and return to the Main God space."

Here, Wu Xian smiled and raised the Book of the Sun higher: "Also, after obtaining the Book of the Sun, the Main God notified me it can serve as a revival item for Lunhui teams—spending sufficient reward points and side quest points allows resurrection of one deceased team member…"

In short, we've acquired a resurrection card. Even if we die in a Lunhui mission, we now have a way to bring them back."

Hearing this, members of both Lunhui teams froze for a moment, then Zheng Zha and Cheng Xiao erupted in cheers.

Gradually, the atmosphere grew lively, especially among the Middle Earth team, every face glowing with joy.

As for the Demon team… they could only stare in envy, silently comforting themselves: it's only one resurrection, no big deal—we'll find similar methods later.

"How about it? Want to use this to revive your teammates?"

Wu Xian's voice rang out, watching Fu Zha and others hesitate, his lips curling slightly.

"Ah… Captain, are you lending us the Book of the Sun?"

Fu Zha's eyes widened in shock, even failing to notice he'd instinctively addressed Wu Xian as "Captain."

"Sure, but not now. Given your current financial state, reviving one person would be difficult—and… I'm not offering this for free."

Saying this, Wu Xian smiled, and in a perspective invisible to others, used mental energy to manipulate the chat group interface, performing the "add to group" action on the four Demon team members before him.

Simultaneously, as Fu Zha prepared to ask more, a cold mechanical voice echoed in his mind.

【Zhongzhou Yandi has invited you to join the group. Accept? YES／YES?】

Fu Zha: "…"
