Is the Primordial World Level Too High, or Are Points Inherently Too Cheap?

Time flows, a white colt fleeting past a crack.

In the blink of an eye, another ten thousand years.

Calamity Qi and Sha Qi fill heaven and earth, the Primordial World shrouded in a suffocating aura.

At this moment, Long Zang is temporarily residing in the small world of the Phoenix Clan.

He sits upright in a pavilion behind the palace, brows slightly furrowed, a strange voice echoing in his mind.

"Chat group?" Long Zang murmurs softly, a hint of oddity in his eyes.

In his mind, an existence called the [Myriad Worlds Chat Group] has suddenly appeared.

Thinking back carefully, he seemed to have encountered it while sleeping in Chaos, but only now has he truly sorted it out.

To him, this thing is of little use for now.

After all, with his current strength, few in the Primordial World can rival him, and not many across All Heavens and Myriad Worlds can threaten him.

So, this chat group is more like a pastime for idle moments.

With a trace of curiosity, Long Zang opens it.

[Sacred King]: The Group Leader hasn't shown up yet. Nothing's happened, right?

[Big Shirozou]: Possible. There's just the five of us, and the Group Leader hasn't said a word since joining.

[Kasumi Utaha]: Maybe he ran into something?

[Goddess of Wisdom]: Oh my, how about everyone join this Goddess's Axis Cult?

[Sacred King]: I refuse.

[Big Shirozou]: No.

[Kasumi Utaha]: I heard stupidity is contagious. Is that true?

[Goddess of Wisdom]: Stupidity? Huh? There's an idiot in our group? Who?

Long Zang watches with interest, a faint smile curling at the corners of his lips.

Big Shirozou is most likely Tsunade from the Naruto World.

Sacred King could be Keisha, or maybe Yan.

As for the Goddess of Wisdom... no need to guess, it's that unreliable water goddess Aqua.

And Kasumi Utaha is Kasumi Utaha.

"So I'm the Group Leader." Long Zang chuckles lightly, then his gaze flickers as he sees through the chat group's essence.

This thing, in a way, is comparable to an Innate Spiritual Treasure.

It connects All Heavens and Myriad Worlds, nourished by Fantasy Power.

Danger? None for now.

Use? It's not much help to him at the moment.

Still, its functions are plentiful.

Lottery, red packets, teleportation, livestreaming, private chat... it has everything.

But higher-tier permissions require accumulating Fantasy Power to unlock.

[Long Zang]: Everyone, hello.

[Big Shirozou]: ??? You're the thirteenth Ancestral Witch? The Group Leader?

[Long Zang]: Correct. You're Tsunade Hime, right?

Naruto World.

Tsunade's eyes widen at this message.

They've chatted in the group for so long, and this is the first person to identify her at a glance.

[Big Shirozou]: How do you know?

[Long Zang]: My ability.

Long Zang knows full well it's from his past life memories.

But to him now, seeing through past and future is effortless.

[Kasumi Utaha]: ?

[Goddess of Wisdom]: Huh? There's a power like that?

[Long Zang]: Simple. Just look at the River of Time, and you can do it.

The River of Time—these four words alone silence the entire group.

They simply didn't believe it.

Kasumi Utaha even directly questioned it:

[Kasumi Utaha]: The Group Leader used the chat group's permissions, right? Group Leaders always have privileges.

"Ding!"

[Group Leader uploaded world copy: Saekano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend]

[Long Zang]: This is about your past and future, Kasumi Utaha.

Kasumi Utaha froze on the spot.

When she opened the copy and saw her entire life laid out clearly, from her earliest experiences to her future ending... not a single word was wrong!

Especially seeing her future self, becoming a "loser dog."

An unprecedented complexity surged within her heart.

[Big Shirozou]: Huh? The sharp-tongued girl is just a brat?

[Kasumi Utaha]: Hmph, still better than some old hag.

[Big Shirozou]: What did you say?!

[Kasumi Utaha]: Sorry, I accidentally hit a sore spot for some old hag. My apologies.

The group instantly buzzed with activity.

Keisha watched coldly, shaken inside.

She couldn't help but speak up:

[Sacred King]: Group Leader, can you truly see the River of Time? Could you let me see the future?

Long Zang replied calmly:

[Long Zang]: You're still in the era before the Three Kings, right? Keisha.

Keisha's expression jolted.

That was right—she was in that darkest of times.

In the future, she would rebel, even fall.

"Ding!"

[Group Leader uploaded memory copy: Super Seminary World]

Keisha's gaze turned icy as she stared at her own future fate, true anger igniting within her for the first time.

She whispered softly, "I need power."

Her eyes fell on the chat group, carrying an unprecedented resolve.

[Tsunade]: So what the Group Leader said is true? He can really see our past and future?

[Kasumi Utaha]: Didn't you see? The facts are right in front of you.

[Keisha]: Then I want to ask—is that "Goddess of Wisdom" in the group really a goddess?

[Aqua]: I've said all along I'm a real goddess! You still didn't believe me! Now do you regret not joining the Axis Cult?

[Kasumi Utaha]: No regrets. Even if she's a goddess, she's a brain-dead one.

[Tsunade]: Agreed.

"Ding!"

[Group Leader uploaded memory copies: Naruto World, KonoSuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World!]

[Ding: Group Leader awakened, new features unlocked: Check-in, Exchange!]

[System Prompt]: Group members can check in daily to earn Points, which can be used in the Lottery Pool for draws. Group members can also offer treasures from their own world to exchange for Points with the chat group.

[Tsunade]: This chat group... no matter how you look at it, it seems like it's sucking up to the Group Leader.

[Keisha]: It does seem that way.

[Long Zang]: Can't help it, I'm just too handsome.

[Tsunade]: ??

[Aqua]: Handsome guy? Where's the handsome guy?

But Kasumi Utaha ignored them, speaking coldly instead:

[Kasumi Utaha]: Compared to all this, I want to know what kind of existence the Group Leader really is. The River of Time, past and future... these aren't things mortals should be able to grasp.

"Ding!"

[Group Leader uploaded memory copy: Ancestor Witches Battle Demon Ancestor! Please view with caution!]

[Long Zang]: Want to know who I am? Go in and see for yourself.

Naruto World. Tsunade stared blankly at the light screen materializing before her.

Blessing World. Aqua curled up into a ball, clutching her blanket with trembling little hands.

Bystander World. Kasumi Utaha nearly fainted from fright.

Super Seminary World. Keisha was so shaken she couldn't utter a single word.

Outer Heaven, came into view.

A Devil Ancestor, demonic aura surging to the heavens, suppressing all realms.

A God of War, Battle Intent piercing the skies, spanning past and present.

Countless divine lights exploded, endless worlds destroyed and reborn in their clash!

The Great Dao intertwined, immortal blossoms burst forth—beautiful enough to make one's heart ache, yet also utterly perilous.

All Heavens and Myriad Worlds trembled at this battle.

[Aqua]: Th-this can't be real, right?!

[Tsunade]: Hard to judge... but...

She didn't finish, but the answer was already obvious.

Footage could be faked, but a Memory Copy absolutely could not. Especially a truth spanning space-time like this—there was no room for falsehood!

[Keisha]: Group Leader, who was that existence you fought?

[Long Zang]: An enemy who isn't quite an enemy. One of the top powerhouses of the current Primordial World. But this isn't even his strongest form.

[Kasumi Utaha]: Are you kidding me? This isn't his strongest? Then there are even more monsters like this in the world?!

[Long Zang]: That's right. There are quite a few existences at this level now. In the future, there will only be more.

Long Zang wasn't exaggerating.

Luohu back then, though a Great Luo, had not reached his peak.

Even if he walked to his zenith in the future, he still wouldn't be the only one.

The Primordial World was developing, eras were shifting. Above Great Luo were Sublime Saints, Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals of the Origin!

[Kasumi Utaha]: Ridiculous!

[Tsunade]: If an existence like that appeared in my world, I'm afraid just raising a hand would reduce my world to ashes...

[Long Zang]: You overestimate it. For an existence at Luohu's level, even a single wisp of aura would be enough to completely collapse your world.

[Tsunade]: ...

[Keisha]: ...

[Kasumi Utaha]: Really?

[Long Zang]: The essence of worlds differs; their rules differ. The power that can destroy a mountain in your world might not even count as a speck of dust in the Primordial World. But conversely, in your world, it would be enough to annihilate the entire heavens and earth.

Their minds were shaken. For the first time, they understood... that there were dimensional gaps between worlds too!

[Keisha]: Then, Group Leader, what if I want to become stronger?

[Long Zang]: Simple. Your world walks the path of technology, so you'd best follow its rules to strengthen yourself.

[Tsunade]: So, each world can only cultivate according to its own rules?

[Long Zang]: Not necessarily. Switching paths is possible, but it would be far more difficult. Whether you want to try is up to you.

[Keisha]: ...Can we?

[Long Zang]: Why not?

"Ding!"

[Group Leader sent a red packet: Luck Trial!]

Keisha, Tsunade, Kasumi Utaha, and Aqua all reached out.

[Notification]: Keisha obtained... Basic Body Refining Technique!

[Notification]: Tsunade obtained... Basic Body Refining Technique!

[Notification]: Kasumi Utaha obtained... Basic Body Refining Technique!

[Notification]: Aqua obtained... Basic Body Refining Technique!

This was a body refining method casually derived by Long Zang.

Though only the most basic, it was enough to allow people from their worlds to cultivate up to the immortal level.

Of course, that was on the condition that they had enough resources to see this path through to the end.

Long Zang watched the group fall silent, knowing they had all gone to train.

He smiled, then his gaze landed on the four words "Group Leader Privilege."

Long Zang stared at the Chat Group's Lottery Pool, feeling little interest in his heart.

For now, only the low-tier Lottery Pool was available, and what it could produce was naturally limited.

One hundred Points per draw, one thousand for a ten-pull—but the rewards it offered were all beneath mention.

What he truly looked forward to was the day the high-tier Lottery Pool would unlock.

Still, he had tried it before—tossing in a single Innate Spiritual Fruit over a hundred thousand years old, which had directly netted him tens of millions of Points.

This made Long Zang can't help but sigh inwardly... Was the Primordial World simply too high-tier, or were Points just that cheap to begin with?
