New Member Joins the Group

Dragon King Spews Water: Looks like Rimuru went offline.

March 7th: Right, didn't the Group Leader get permission to invite people? Can you invite new members into the group now?

Dragon King Spews Water: Oh, right, I did have an invite permission.

Gu Ruoli shifted her attention away from the chat interface and focused on the information panel the chat group had listed for her.

She found the Group Leader privileges with practiced ease. Behind the Group Leader privileges, besides Mute, a new permission had appeared—invite people.

Gu Ruoli tapped it with her mind, and the detailed information for the invite permission appeared before her.

Permission: invite people

Content: cancel the fixed model of one person per month and change it to invites issued by the Group Leader. The Group Leader may send out five Invitation Letters each month to the Myriad Realms. Creatures who accept the invitation will join the chat group.

Limitations: once per month, five letters each time; invited individuals may refuse to join the chat group.

Gu Ruoli looked at the information and felt a little helpless too. The guaranteed new member had been canceled. Although there were more people she could invite, there was no guarantee anyone would actually accept.

If this month's Invitation Letters were sent out and no one agreed, wouldn't they just be wasted?

Thinking of this, Gu Ruoli directly took a screenshot of the invite permission information and sent it to the group.

Dragon King Spews Water: Everyone, would you say this is a good thing or a bad thing?

Seeker of the Dao: It should count as a good thing, right? It just depends on your luck.

Passerby: Just give it a try. See what the odds are.

Tsukasa Kadoya looked at the Group Leader's message, frowned, then spoke.

Dragon King Spews Water: Makes sense. Then I'll use it?

March 7th: Hurry up and use it. I'm really looking forward to new members joining.

Tianzhu King: Looking forward to it plus one.

Bu Yao Bi Lian: Looking forward to it plus one.

After that, Gu Ruoli stopped paying attention to the copy-pasted messages. After all, the essence of humanity was being a repeater. On that point, she had already felt it deeply in her previous life.

With a thought, she opened the invite permission.

"Chat group, use the invite permission."

As Gu Ruoli's words fell, five Invitation Letters suddenly appeared in front of her.

The Invitation Letters were all card-sized and entirely black. Their material was extremely unusual—not iron, not steel, not stone, and not jade. Their surfaces had a frosted finish and felt very comfortable to the touch.

One side was engraved with the chat group's symbol—a white ring. Outside the ring was pure black, representing the Endless Void.

Inside was a dark blue starry sky like a curtain of stars, dotted with twinkling starlight, representing the worlds connected by the chat group.

The other side was blank, without any writing at all.

Gu Ruoli picked up an Invitation Letter and examined it carefully, then casually threw it out.

The moment the black card left her hand, it sank into space, then broke through the world barrier.

Like a bolt of black lightning, it fled into the void, randomly traveling through the empty Endless Void.

Once it discovered a world, it would immediately slip inside, seek out one with great fortune, and pull them into the chat group.

Before long, three black cards whose speed was beyond compare discovered new worlds.

The remaining two were eroded by the Endless Void and dissipated into the void.

Tree Sea Multiverse.

Teyvat Continent.

Liyue.

After his retirement, the God of Geo had taken the alias Zhongli and was drinking tea and listening to storytelling in a teahouse.

"At that time in Liyue, a great demon stirred up trouble in the sea..."

Whoosh~

The sound of something cutting through the air rang out.

On the table in front of Zhongli, a black card suddenly appeared.

Looking at the black card that had appeared out of nowhere, Zhongli's pupils shrank, and the aura on his body almost burst out uncontrollably. Fortunately, Zhongli reacted quickly and adjusted his state.

"An object that does not belong to Teyvat Continent. Did it come from beyond the False Sky?"

Zhongli looked at the card, sensing the aura on it that did not belong to Teyvat Continent, and guessed at its origin.

Sensing the powerful attraction coming from the card, Zhongli tentatively placed his hand on it, preparing to pick it up.

As one of the Seven Archons and one of the oldest gods, Zhongli was confident that even if he encountered danger, he could resolve it.

Who would have thought that the moment his hand touched it, writing would suddenly appear on the surface of the card? Along with the emergence of the words, an ethereal voice also entered Zhongli's mind.

Honored one of great fortune, do you wish to save your shattered world? Do you wish to possess the means to make up for regrets and recover deceased friends and family? Do you wish to possess the power to protect everything... Join us, and anything is possible—the Dimensional Chat Group.

"It's only an Invitation Letter? Truly unbelievable. It wants to invite me to join this organization?"

After hearing the voice, Zhongli sensed the various images transmitted from the card, as well as the feeling that he could refuse at any time. He began to ponder, weighing the pros and cons.

In the transmitted images, on a battlefield, a woman draped in Holy Light waved her hand casually, and the warriors who had just died were immediately resurrected. They rolled up from the ground and charged into the battlefield once more.

In the starry sky, a colossal stone spirit as vast as a celestial body sat in command of the universe, holding a shield that radiated Golden Light and resisting an invasion from the outside.

In a shattered world, people wailed and fled across the earth, yet they still could not escape the descent and slaughter of the Mechanical Calamity...

Just as the people fell into despair, a blond youth in armor stepped forward. With the belief of saving the world, the young man used his own dissipation to launch an attack that destroyed every calamity, and the world was preserved.

Looking at image after image, sensing the mighty power coming from within them, Zhongli no longer doubted whether this Invitation Letter could fulfill its promise.

Instead, he began to think. As expected, it is a variable. If I join, will it be good or bad for Liyue?

He had to admit that when he saw the temptation offered by the Invitation Letter, Zhongli was moved. Yet his responsibility and duty toward Liyue left him unable to make a decision for a long time.

"Lord—"

A cry broke Zhongli's contemplation. Coming back to himself, he heard that the storyteller had reached the part about the God of Geo's campaigns.

When some people of Liyue thought of the Lord's fall and of themselves becoming children without parents, sorrow welled up from their hearts, and they could not help but cry aloud.

Looking at this scene, Zhongli's eyes flashed with a trace of daze and relief, as if he were watching a child grow up.

"So be it. Since I have already let go, from now on, let me live for myself once."

Thinking of his deceased old friends and his own Erosion, Zhongli ultimately could not withstand the temptation and decided to join the chat group.

"Besides, perhaps things will turn out even better?"

Thinking of the Heavenly Principles' plan, Zhongli could not help but have an idea in his heart.

With Zhongli's confirmation, the black card instantly melted away and turned into a ball of light.

Before Zhongli could react, the ball of light directly struck Zhongli's head and sank into it.

Ding~ Congratulations to the newcomer "Wandering the Mortal Realm" for joining the chat group! Everyone, come welcome him!

Ding~ Congratulations to the newcomer "Red Falcon Immortal" for joining the chat group! Everyone, come welcome her!

Ding~ Invitation failed. "Abandoned Heaven Emperor" refused the chat group's invitation!

Three sounds rang out, and the originally lively chat group instantly fell silent.

But one second later, message after message poured out crazily.
