Wind! Great wind!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As his stern gaze swept across them, the soldiers roared in unison with all their might.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thud of their halberds striking the ground echoed in a continuous, synchronized thunder, as if it could shatter mountains and pierce the heavens!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, an overwhelming aura of invincible might crashed upon Bai Zeming, leaving him awestruck and utterly paralyzed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scene flickered—the emperor vanished, replaced by a carefree wandering swordsman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man wore rough cloth, bare-chested and bare-bellied, a blade of white grass clenched between his teeth, seated atop a rock, his eyes—full of unrestrained freedom—glancing sideways at Bai Zeming beyond the scene, as if asking: “Kid, got any wine?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zeming was momentarily stunned, struggling to identify the man’s identity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But soon, he spotted the clue on the man’s waist—a sharp iron sword, about three feet long, engraved with two ancient seal script characters: Chi Xiao!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scene flickered again—the swordsman with Chi Xiao vanished, replaced by a burly man drinking beneath the moon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was shirtless, revealing powerful muscles and numerous scars, one arm wrapped around a beautiful concubine, the other raising a wine jug to his lips, his tiger-like eyes fixed on a black steed galloping ahead, as if ready to hurl the jug and mount the horse at any moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside him lay a spear as thick as a child’s arm, forged from solid iron.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even through the spectral image, the iron spear radiated an aura of blood-soaked imperial might…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, the imposing figure vanished, replaced by a handsome young boy clad in armor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He rode a towering steed, one hand holding the reins, seated elegantly on a carved saddle atop Qilian Peak, as the northern wind whipped his crimson cloak, his youthful, striking face radiating unmatched grace and exhilaration…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zeming stared dumbly at the ever-changing specters within the array.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Shi Huang, Han Gaozu, Xiang Yu, Champion Marquis…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Has he summoned the entire Throne of Heroes?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, this was merely Bai Zeming’s exaggerated inner thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, Lin Yu was merely scanning the Chinese heroes within the Throne of Heroes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Long before he peered beyond the world’s edge, he had already noticed the Throne of Heroes existing beyond it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike the Root Vortex, this thing could be interfered with even by Earth’s magi—let alone Lin Yu!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the carefree young Champion Marquis, more Chinese heroes flashed past in succession.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until, at last, the faint image solidified, revealing a peach orchard bursting with blossoms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the orchard, peach flowers bloomed in brilliant pink clouds, radiant and dazzling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Numerous figures sat beneath the falling petals, exchanging cups and laughing merrily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the head of the long table sat a middle-aged man, seven feet five inches tall, with ears hanging to his shoulders, arms reaching past his knees, a face as radiant as jade, lips as red as lacquer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the peach orchard image solidified, the man’s warm smile suddenly faded—he lifted his head as if sensing something, locking eyes with Lin Yu beyond the scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Lin Yu smiled faintly and gestured toward the man with a “please” motion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged man’s expression turned solemn; he rose at once and bowed deeply to Lin Yu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, standing upright, he scanned the gathered figures and spoke a sentence Bai Zeming could not hear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As his words ended, three towering figures rose one after another, kneeling on one knee before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the third figure rose, the peach orchard image shattered violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next instant, the glowing silver array activated, summoning a figure from the Throne of Heroes beyond the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was a noble, vigorous, majestic man, wielding a silver spear, clad in silver armor, a white robe fluttering wildly in the wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the gale subsided, the silver array vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The armored general’s form shimmered, splitting into two other towering figures who bowed respectfully to Lin Yu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Changshan Zhao Zilong…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hedong Guan Yun Chang…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yanren Zhang Yide…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We pay homage to My Lord!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three thunderous names left Bai Zeming wide-eyed and stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stared dumbly at the other two towering specters—sure enough, there stood Guan Yu, nine feet tall, with a two-foot beard, face like crimson lacquer, lips like painted vermilion, phoenix eyes and caterpillar brows, majestic and awe-inspiring; and Zhang Fei, with a leopard head, round eyes, swallow jaw and tiger whiskers, radiating overwhelming might!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…What the hell is going on?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why did he summon three at once?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And not just any three—Shu Han’s legendary trio!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Bai Zeming’s mind reeled, Guan Yu’s specter stroked his beard and addressed Lin Yu solemnly: “A loyal minister serves but one lord. My spirit has already pledged itself to His Majesty. I cannot render full homage—please forgive me, My Lord!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei felt the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately after Guan Yu’s words, both bowed again in unison: “Please forgive us, My Lord!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No problem.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yu waved dismissively, smiling: “According to my agreement with Emperor Zhao Lie, once this matter is settled, I will extract your heroic spirits’ power and send it to another world’s Shu Han.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“At that point, you will be confined to the Throne of Heroes, unable to walk the world as you do now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But the Shu Han of that world will rise because of it, fulfilling your lifelong dream of restoring the Han dynasty. Is this deal acceptable to you, Generals?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three exchanged glances, then bowed solemnly: “Then we entrust this to you, My Lord!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yu nodded in satisfaction: “Good.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Bai Zeming finally understood what Lin Yu was doing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had somehow contacted the Shu Han heroes on the Throne of Heroes and reached an agreement with Emperor Zhao Lie Liu Bei to recruit them for this Holy Grail War.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the war, Lin Yu would extract their heroic spirit power and send it to another world’s Shu Han.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That Shu Han must be the one in Group Member Li Shimin’s world…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Bai Zeming’s expression turned odd—he thought, Brother sure knows how to do business.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the surface, Lin Yu offered the Shu Han heroes a chance to restore a parallel Han dynasty in exchange for their participation in the Holy Grail War.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In reality, both sides of the balance were tied to the group’s interests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This transaction allowed Lin Yu to win once in the Holy Grail War, and then let Group Member Li Shimin win again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group won twice overall—this wasn’t just “eating and taking,” this was a win-win!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Liu Bei and the others who had become heroic spirits, they weren’t cheated either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Lin Yu hadn’t hidden the truth—he laid everything bare, and they willingly agreed because they desired to see another Shu Han succeed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But… Lin Yu had summoned three heroes—why had only Zhao Yun appeared at first?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Bai Zeming frowned in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yu glanced at him, as if reading his thoughts, and said irritably: “Isn’t it because of you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you could supply enough mana for all three, would I need this ‘one spirit, three bodies’ trick?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is it because of me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zeming instinctively flushed with shame, then suddenly snapped back, staring wide-eyed at Lin Yu:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait, me?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who else?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yu glanced at him: “You don’t seriously think I’m entering the Holy Grail War, do you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Bai Zeming could process this bombshell, Lin Yu waved his hand and transferred the Command Seals to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a slight sting, Bai Zeming snapped back to reality, staring in disbelief at the three Command Seals on his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“...You really gave them to me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s it? Just like that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s just a Command Seal—how complicated could it be?” Lin Yu shook his head, then said, “Alright, from now on, you’re the eighth Master of the Holy Grail War!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“From now on, handle everything here with your Shu Han trio.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As for Zhao, Guan, and Zhang’s current forms—it’s an experiment of mine. You can start by using Lancer and Archer. If anything goes wrong, report it to the group immediately.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zeming hurriedly asked: “Then what about you, Brother?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yu glanced at him: “I’m going to meet Kinomoto Nankyo first, then wander beyond the edge of the world. Want to come along?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zeming solemnly stood up and said without hesitation, “Brother, take care, may your journey be smooth!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yu rolled his eyes and instantly vanished from where he stood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Bai Zeming suddenly remembered something and hurriedly opened the chat group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Bai Zeming: @Lin Yu, Brother, wait!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Lin Yu: What now?】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1743,"2026-06-20T00:29:28.871Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","eeac4238ed151d94c2efc0e4ee0428c56e296d2f7190c2378e3b752585022276","the-dimensional-demon-god-s-chat-group-chapter-182","the-dimensional-demon-god-s-chat-group-chapter-180",206,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-dimensional-demon-god-s-chat-group-cover.jpg"]
