instead, he lingered outside, observing the mysterious force’s every move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, this world also had no Yubei  group members meeting the criteria.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mysterious force circled the world once, then abruptly turned and vanished into the void.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I knew it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yu’s face darkened; he decisively abandoned this world and continued chasing after it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a while longer, Lin Yu discovered another new world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, the chat group’s reaction was noticeably different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After circling the orb once, it suddenly split off an extremely subtle force and injected it into the orb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yu’s spirits lifted—he realized this world contained a Yubei  group member.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he prepared to sneak into this world, the mysterious force departed again, seemingly unwilling to end its search.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sensing this, Lin Yu hesitated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But soon, he made his decision: since this world had already been chosen by the chat group, the Yubei  member would soon appear on the list anyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to entering a new world, continuing to follow the force was more important.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterwards, Lin Yu followed the mysterious force as it traversed the void; his dispersed consciousness experienced at least several months, yet in Fllien’s world, less than twenty minutes had passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within those twenty minutes, Lin Yu discovered a total of seventeen new worlds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of these, only three worlds triggered a response from the chat group—likely containing Yubei  members who met the criteria.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After locating the seventeenth world—the third world with a Yubei  member—the mysterious force originating from the chat group seemed to have fulfilled its mission and finally began its return journey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Fllien’s world, twenty-three minutes after Lin Yu clicked [Search for New Members], the Yubei  list finally refreshed, revealing three shimmering silver names—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Suzuki Satoru】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Shadow】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Bai Zeming】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gazing at these three Yubei  member names, Lin Yu raised an eyebrow, his expression turning peculiar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the names alone, the one Lin Yu recognized most clearly was undoubtedly the first on the list: Suzuki Satoru.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not a coincidence, this guy must be the protagonist of the anime OVERLORD!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to Lin Yu’s knowledge, the real world of this anime is a capitalist society evolved into its final form—a dystopia resembling Cyberpunk 2077.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Large conglomerates have usurped the government, seized power, and become the actual rulers of the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under this rigid class structure and high-tech, low-life condition, the lower and middle classes, the salarymen and commoners, see no hope in reality and retreat into virtual worlds, filling their inner emptiness with false pleasures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>YGGDRASIL was born under these circumstances as an ultra-popular online game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like most people in this world, the protagonist Suzuki Satoru was also a failed salaryman in reality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in the game, he met a group of like-minded companions, formed the guild “Ainz Ooal Gown,” and fought alongside them, leaving countless unforgettable memories.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These experiences made Suzuki Satoru deeply attached to this game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as time passed, the game’s popularity gradually declined, and players abandoned it one after another, shifting toward newer games with better mechanics and graphics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suzuki Satoru’s guild members did the same, returning to reality and confronting life head-on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Suzuki Satoru remained immersed in the past, continuing to run the guild alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until that day, when the game, due to plummeting popularity, was forced to shut down; Suzuki Satoru accepted reality and decided to return to real life after witnessing the server’s closure within the guild.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when the operation time ended, he was not forcibly logged out—instead, he and his character, along with the entire guild, were transported across, beginning the Bone King’s journey to another world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his past life, Lin Yu loved this anime and its original novel, and he had no dislike for the early Bone King.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in the middle and later stages, the author began revealing anti-human tendencies, constantly dancing on the edge of morality and ethics, causing Lin Yu’s opinion to deteriorate until he finally quit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, if it were the early Suzuki Satoru, Lin Yu would be quite willing to recruit him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if it were the later, fully immersed Undead King, that’s another matter…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Lin Yu temporarily passed over Suzuki Satoru and turned his gaze to the second name—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shadow!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From this name alone, Lin Yu could think of only two famous characters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One is the protagonist of I Am the Hero, Shadow King Cheng Xiaoyu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other is the legendary Shadow Lord from I Want to Be a Shadow Master!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment’s thought, Lin Yu judged the latter more likely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So far, the chat group’s selected members have all been transmigrators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this regard, Yagami Jitsu, or rather Sid Kageno, fits the criteria better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Either way, let’s take a look…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he thought this, Lin Yu extended his consciousness over the name Shadow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, a scroll unfurled slowly in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the pitch-black night, moonlight pierced through the tree canopy, casting patches of light on the wall outside the window.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An elf girl in a pitch-black combat suit leapt through the window, passed down a corridor illuminated by candlelight, and pushed open the door at the end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the door creaked open, a cool evening breeze blew in from ahead, reviving the elf girl’s spirit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked up—and before her eyes stood a room resembling a medieval noble’s chamber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The room’s decor was exquisitely refined; a single glance revealed numerous precious artifacts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For instance, a shareholder sofa once used by a king of some nation centuries ago, exquisitely gilded candlesticks crafted by a master, and numerous renowned masterpieces hanging on the walls…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every decorative item was a rare, highly refined antique or treasure—quietly luxurious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the center of these decorations stood a similarly precious gilded high-backed chair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A handsome young man clad in black sat upon it, his back to the elf girl, gently swirling his wine glass, the candlelight reflecting its crystal-clear, ruby-red glow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The auspicious hour has arrived…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tonight, the world shall be shrouded in shadow.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A calm voice came from ahead, accompanied by the whispering wind outside and the surrounding scenery, causing the girl’s eyes to gleam with wonder, gazing at the boy with fervent admiration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Lin Yu in another world stared at the boy, his face darkening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This all-black attire, this ridiculously pretentious demeanor, this utterly otaku declaration…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without doubt, it’s Shadow Lord from Shadow Court!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this guy’s original name was Yagami Jitsu, and after transmigration, he became Sid Kageno—why does the chat group’s Yubei  list show his alias, Shadow?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After brief consideration, Lin Yu suspected it had to do with the Yubei  member’s self-perception.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the original story, Shadow once said that as humans age, they continuously acquire more and more people and things worth cherishing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he did the opposite—he steadily discarded everything he no longer needed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eventually, he would be left with something he could never discard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would live solely for those irreplaceable things; everything else meant nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From this perspective, Shadow was an extremely pure-minded person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mind held only strengthening himself and showing off; everything else was secondary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To him, Yagami Jitsu and Sid Kageno were merely roles he played in different worlds; only the masked Shadow was his true self, unmasked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that case, it was no surprise the chat group labeled him Shadow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then—what about Suzuki Satoru?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to the plot, he despised his real-world identity; his self-perception shouldn’t be Suzuki Satoru, but Ainz Ooal Gown!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yu thought about it and concluded the world must still be in its early plot stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The newly transmigrated Bone King had not yet been influenced by his undead body to change his thinking; he still perceived himself as the human named Suzuki Satoru from his past life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then there’s still hope…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he thought this, Lin Yu turned his gaze to the final name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zeming… another name he had no recollection of.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without doubt, he was most likely a transmigrator from Huaxia, like Su Haoming and He Jing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So now the question was—what world had he transmigrated to?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Curious, Lin Yu immediately extended his consciousness over this name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1488,"2026-06-20T00:29:28.871Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","3109b8e3c75f1724a67a7add5962e3161e4320c32c675a99f62c8b2315d805b1","the-dimensional-demon-god-s-chat-group-chapter-172","the-dimensional-demon-god-s-chat-group-chapter-170",206,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-dimensional-demon-god-s-chat-group-cover.jpg"]
