The time flow in the worlds of Swallowed Star and A Mortal's Cultivation Journey are different. Yue Ming wasn't surprised by this, as the time flow in the worlds the Chat Group members traveled to was almost always different. Only when everyone logged into the Chat Group did time flow temporarily synchronize.

As for why this was the case, or what the pattern was, Yue Ming couldn't know. Perhaps only Ninth Order Transcendent beings, or even Tenth Order Progenitors, knew the reason.

[A Mortal's Cultivation Journey] Liu Ming · Second Order: [It's better in the Swallowed Star world. Not only is the cultivation environment better than most worlds, but the cultivation resources are also very abundant. If only I could go to the Swallowed Star world.]

[Swallowed Star] Yue Ming · Second Order: [There will be opportunities in the future. You're welcome to visit the Swallowed Star world then.]

Yue Ming secretly thought, Come if you're not afraid of me killing you! One world is enough with one Transcendent. Two Transcendent beings who know the plot being in the same world will almost certainly lead to a conflict of interest.

In the face of interests, people are selfish. At least Yue Ming couldn't coexist with another Transcendent in the same world. If there was another Transcendent in the Swallowed Star world, he would definitely find a way to kill them.

[Nine Cauldrons Chronicle] Teng Qingyun · Second Order: [Regarding Zhuo Fan's death, what did the Sect Master say?]

[A Realm of Gods] Li Shanhe · Fifth Order: [How could I know what the Sect Master thinks? Besides, Transcendent beings like the Sect Master often go into seclusion for tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of years. They wouldn't have time to care about Chat Group matters...]

Li Shanhe sighed inwardly. He couldn't tell everyone that the Sect Master didn't care about their lives at all, and that the Sect Master was too lazy to deal with Zhuo Fan's matter. He and the Sect Master were alumni, but that was all. He didn't have that much influence to ask the Sect Master to help revive Zhuo Fan.

Moreover, even if he had that much influence and could get the Sect Master to revive Zhuo Fan, he wouldn't do it. Favor is a resource that diminishes with use. Wasting his favor on someone else's affairs wasn't worth it. As for Zhuo Fan, he could only blame his own bad luck!

[Grave of God] Liu Shanshan · Fourth Order: [Let's stop discussing Zhuo Fan's matter for now! Since none of us can help, we'll find a way to revive him when we have the ability. Talking more now is useless.]

[Global High Martial Arts] Li Jing · Third Order: [Sister Shanshan is very right. However, Zhuo Fan's death also served as a wake-up call for us. Before we truly grow stronger, everyone should try to keep a low profile. Don't end up like Zhuo Fan, dying before you even achieve anything.]

[A Mortal's Cultivation Journey] Liu Ming · Second Order: [Since Zhuo Fan is already dead, what about his Golden Finger? Is it possible it fell into that bizarre world?]

Yue Ming's heart stirred. Just as Liu Ming said, if Zhuo Fan's Golden Finger fell into that bizarre world, would they have a chance to obtain Zhuo Fan's Golden Finger if they went to that bizarre world?

As for how to get to the bizarre world? Although the Chat Group didn't have the function to travel to other worlds, they could ask Sect Master Tongtian for help. As a Ninth Order Transcendent, he would surely have a way to send them to the bizarre world. For a Golden Finger, even paying hundreds of millions of Origin Points would be worth it!

Of course, the prerequisite was that Sect Master Tongtian was willing to help and allow him to owe hundreds of millions of Origin Points to be repaid slowly in the future. However, he had no prior relationship with Sect Master Tongtian, so he probably wouldn't be noticed. Unless he could display extraordinary potential and have a chance to break through to Ninth Order in the future, perhaps only such potential would make Sect Master Tongtian think highly of him.

[A Realm of Gods] Li Shanhe · Fifth Order: [What good things are you daydreaming about? Once a Chat Group member dies, their Golden Finger is reclaimed by the Chat Group and cannot be obtained by others.]

Li Shanhe would never admit that when he learned Zhuo Fan had died, his first thought was to obtain Zhuo Fan's Golden Finger. Unfortunately, when he asked Sect Master Tongtian to send him to the bizarre world, he was told that after a Chat Group member died, their Golden Finger would be reclaimed by the Chat Group.

[A Mortal's Cultivation Journey] Liu Ming · Second Order: [Cough, cough, I'm just curious. Besides, Zhuo Fan is already dead. If his Golden Finger fell into the bizarre world, as members of the Chat Group, we have the responsibility and obligation to reclaim the Golden Finger. At most, whoever obtains Zhuo Fan's Golden Finger will be responsible for reviving Zhuo Fan in the future.]

[Covering the Sky] Lu Ming · Third Order: [I actually think Liu Ming is very right. No one would dislike having more Golden Fingers. Who dares to say they have no interest in Zhuo Fan's Golden Finger? Just as Liu Ming said, whoever obtains the Golden Finger will be responsible for reviving Zhuo Fan later. It's a pity the Golden Finger was reclaimed by the Chat Group, otherwise I would definitely find a way to go to the bizarre world.]

[A Realm of Gods] Li Shanhe · Fifth Order: [It's indeed a pity that Zhuo Fan's Golden Finger was reclaimed. You might not know, but Zhuo Fan's Golden Finger was the Grand Dao Simplicity System. It ranked two hundred and forty-fourth on the Golden Finger rankings...]

Yue Ming entered the Chat Group public screen again and checked the introduction of the Grand Dao Simplicity System in the Golden Finger rankings. He found that this Golden Finger was indeed very powerful, capable of simplifying any cultivation method.

For example, if Yue Ming wanted to cultivate the Nine Heavens Thunder Saber, with the Grand Dao Simplicity System, it would be simplified to just swinging the saber. By simply swinging the saber, he could increase his proficiency, allowing him to cultivate the Nine Heavens Thunder Saber to peak mastery in just a few days.

"Zhuo Fan joined the Chat Group decades ago. With such a powerful Golden Finger, he only reached Second Order in decades?"

Yue Ming couldn't understand it. He didn't know how Zhuo Fan cultivated. With such a powerful Golden Finger, he didn't know how to use it well. Reaching only Second Order in decades could only mean Zhuo Fan was too useless.

After that, everyone stopped talking about Zhuo Fan and started chatting about interesting things in their respective worlds. After idling in the Chat Group for two hours, Yue Ming made an excuse to log off and began to focus on stabilizing his realm.

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye. Yue Ming walked out of the underground training room. He had stabilized his realm. After this seclusion of more than half a year, he planned to rest for a few days and relax.

"Half a year ago, the world's number one powerhouse Hong, and the world's second strongest Thor, jointly ventured deep into the ocean and successfully killed the two Beast Emperors. Humanity sounded the horn of counterattack, beginning to reclaim their lost territories and rebuild their homes..."

"The Limit Martial Hall announced the death of Warlord Luo Feng a month ago..."

Yue Ming logged into the Warrior Forum. Two pieces of information caught his attention. One was that Hong and Thor had gone deep into the ocean half a year ago and killed the two Beast Emperors, and humanity had begun to counterattack the monsters. The other was that the Limit Martial Hall had announced Luo Feng's death a month ago.

If Yue Ming remembered correctly, Luo Feng had entered Ruins No. 9 and, because his brain domain width reached 21, triggered a special elite assessment from Meteor Star, trapping him in Ruins No. 9. In the original story, Luo Feng was trapped for one year and three months before getting out.

"Perhaps I can protect Luo Feng's family and sell him a favor..."

Yue Ming was still thinking about hitching a ride with Luo Feng into the universe. If he protected Luo Feng's family now and sold him a favor, would Luo Feng still have the nerve to refuse him in the future? The key was that protecting Luo Feng's family wouldn't be difficult for him.
