Deep in the Primordial World.
Qin Feng sat astride a tree branch, staring blankly with his mouth hanging open as beasts ran everywhere, both on the ground and in the sky.
Just then, the voice he hated rang in his ears again.
"Question one: How many wives does Di Jun have?"
Qin Feng blurted out, "What the heck? You call that easy?"
"You said these would be easy questions, and that I'd get a gift pack for answering correctly. But who the hell knows how many wives he has?!"
His complaints fell on deaf ears!
"Countdown: one hundred and twenty breaths!"
The cold reply came again.
"Three! Four?... Eight?"
Qin Feng rattled off several answers in one breath.
"Wrong answer! Wrong answer!..."
The system rejected every single one!
Qin Feng: "...!"
"Question two: Which of Hongjun's disciples was the first to attain sagehood?"
Qin Feng was dumbfounded again. What kind of question was that?
His head began to ache. "I don't know!" Qin Feng answered irritably.
The system didn't reply for a long while, as if Qin Feng's answer had left it speechless...
"Question three: Who are the Twelve Ancestral Witches of the Witch Race?"
Qin Feng brightened as soon as he heard the question.
"I know this one!"
He counted them off on his fingers. "There's Houtu, Dijiang, Gou Mang, Lan, Zhu Rong, Xuan Ming, Jiang Liang, Tian Hao, She Bi Shi, Di Renjie, Jia Luo..."
After rattling them all off, Qin Feng felt relieved. He'd finally answered one correctly, so now he'd get the beginner's gift pack, right?
Otherwise, how was he supposed to survive in a world full of demon beasts?
But he could only watch helplessly as the countdown ran out!
The system seemed so moved by Qin Feng's answer that it simply fell silent?
Qin Feng: "Hey? System?! System?!"
At once, a line appeared before Qin Feng's eyes!
[System Notice: Host, did you accidentally include someone who doesn't belong among the Twelve Ancestral Witches?] [Di Renjie? Jia Luo? Lan?]
Qin Feng sheepishly scratched his head. It wasn't his fault! Who could remember all twelve of them?!
Before long, the system's cold voice rang out again.
[Host's answer detected as incorrect. System turning evil. Taking control of the Chat Group with full permissions. Host's group owner status remains unchanged!]
Qin Feng immediately protested.
"???!"
"What? What do you mean?"
"You're taking control?"
"I'm the host! Shouldn't I be the one in charge of the Chat Group?!"
But the system ignored him completely.
Just then, a group chat panel appeared in Qin Feng's mind.
Messages began appearing on it one after another, at a rapid pace.
Was the system automatically inviting people into the group?
Qin Feng stared, stunned.
????
Had he, the host, just been reduced to a figurehead?!
"System, stop what you're doing! I'm the rightful owner!"
[Ding! Sending invitations...] [This group is currently in its initial version and can temporarily admit only ten members. Those who accept first will be admitted first!] [To quickly increase the host's strength, the system will change the group's attributes to evil!] [Answerers must pay a price to answer. If they answer incorrectly, the system will randomly deduct related items from them, including but not limited to mana, supernatural abilities, and spiritual treasures!]
As soon as the system finished explaining, a message appeared in the chat panel.
[Hong Yun has joined the group!]
Hong Yun?
Qin Feng was confused. Who was that?
At that moment, undercurrents were already stirring throughout the Primordial World. Countless powerful beings awoke from meditation and seclusion.
Just moments earlier, a terrifying will had forcibly descended into each of their Divine Senses.
[The Primordial World Chat Group invites you to join!]
Out of caution, many powerful beings didn't respond. Instead, they secretly used their supernatural abilities, trying to find out where this will had come from.
How could it forcibly descend into their Divine Senses?!
At Kunlun Mountain, Taishang unleashed a world-shaking pressure.
Taishang's terrifying Divine Sense covered a radius of hundreds of millions of miles. All the living beings of the myriad races nearby trembled in fear.
"Which fellow Daoist is playing a prank?" Yuanshi asked with a frown, releasing his Divine Sense to investigate as well.
After waiting a long while without a reply, Taishang and Yuanshi exchanged uncertain looks and withdrew their Divine Senses.
Earth Immortal Realm.
Zhen Yuanzi swept his sleeve and cast the Sleeve Universe technique.
In an instant, the Earth Immortal Realm was shrouded in darkness as countless rifts in space and time opened.
Zhen Yuanzi sneered. "A Chat Group? Absurd! I've never heard of such a thing! Do you think I'll fall for a trick like this?"
Nearly all the powerful beings in the Primordial World received invitations to join the group, but very few were willing to accept. Like Zhen Yuanzi and Taishang, they cautiously investigated instead.
Only Hong Yun accepted without thinking.
Taiyi and Di Jun were discussing affairs at the Heavenly Court when their faces filled with shock.
"There are actually beings this powerful, capable of making their will descend directly into our Divine Senses!"
"Indeed! Why don't we investigate and see what this so-called Chat Group is all about?!"
"Agreed!"
With a thought, the two of them entered the Chat Group at the same time.
Like Taiyi and Di Jun, Houtu of the Witch Race, Nuwa, and other powerful beings were bold enough to join.
Meanwhile, Qin Feng, the group owner, watched as one unfamiliar yet vaguely familiar name after another appeared.
[Taiyi and Di Jun have successfully joined the group!] [Nuwa, Houtu, and Kunpeng have successfully joined the group!] [Haotian, East Prince Gong, Tongtian, and Zhunti have successfully joined the group!] [Notice: The group has reached its maximum capacity!]
When the notice appeared, some powerful beings in the Primordial World who had wanted to join the group were left dumbfounded.
They'd been sending out invitations just a moment ago. Why couldn't anyone join now?
Qin Feng looked at the strange names and cautiously sent a message.
"Welcome, newcomers!"
[Message failed to send!]
The system's icy notice appeared.
Qin Feng gritted his teeth.
Damn it! Was he even the real group owner?
He'd never heard of a group owner being muted before. Shameless!
[Welcome, newcomers!]
The system sent the message itself.
Qin Feng: "????!"
[Notice: A question will be posted in ten breaths. The buzz-in competition will then begin!] [Correct answers will be rewarded!]
Qin Feng: "????!"
What was he, the group owner, even there for?
Tongtian: "May I ask which fellow Daoist you are? You possess such extraordinary abilities. I'm truly impressed!"
Nuwa: "You gathered us all here just to compete answering questions? How ridiculous."
Kunpeng: "This so-called Chat Group is just for playing this childish buzz-in game?!"
Di Jun: "What a waste of time. My Heavenly Court has everything under the sun. Why would I waste time chatting here?!"
Taiyi: "Huh, there seems to be a group owner too. Why isn't he saying anything?"
Qin Feng anxiously watched from the side.
These powerful beings of the Primordial World couldn't care less about answering questions!
They'd muted him. How was he supposed to get everyone in the mood?
Everyone was busy complaining, and Qin Feng could only fret on the sidelines. If no one answered, where were his rewards?
[Since this is the group's first quiz, those who answer correctly and achieve excellent results will receive nine Great Dao Laws, three Ginseng Fruits, and the Innate Spiritual Treasure Seven Star Drum!]
Tongtian: "????! Great Dao Laws?"
Nuwa: "??? Ginseng Fruits?"
Di Jun: "????!"
Houtu: "Since none of you wanted to answer earlier, I'll try it, I suppose!"
Tongtian: "I never said I wouldn't answer!"
Qin Feng was stunned. Well, would you look at that? The True Fragrance Theorem was real?
Where had all their pride gone?!
Haotian: "Sigh. My master often tells me that the treasures of the Primordial World belong to those with the fate to obtain them. Since I'm already here, I may as well give it a try!"
East Prince Gong: "Heh, it's not like I care about the rewards. I just want to see whether the question is difficult!"
Zhunti: "Fellow Daoists, there's no need to fight. This question is fated to be mine!"
Di Jun: "Fellow Daoist, weren't you in seclusion? Why are you still keeping an eye on things?"
Taiyi: "No arguing. Let everyone rely on their own abilities!"
Qin Feng stared, dumbfounded. "That actually worked?"
Unable to resist, he sent a message. To his surprise, it went through.
The powerful beings were just about to question Qin Feng when the system suddenly began asking its first question!
"Question one: Will the Demon Race slaughter the Human Race to forge the Witch Slaying Sword?"
Kunpeng: "(Stunned! Nose running) This...?"
Tongtian: "(Speechless) I nominate those involved to answer this one!"
Before long, these fellows had apparently already learned how to use the expressions!
In the Heavenly Court, Di Jun and Taiyi were stunned, their faces filled with shock!
"????"
What was going on? They'd just been discussing this. How had it been exposed already?
What kind of powerful being was this?
How could he see through their thoughts?
And how could he reveal them through a quiz?!
"This...?"
The two of them were immediately alarmed, unsure how to respond.
The other powerful beings in the group were even more suspicious.
Di Jun and Taiyi didn't seem like cruel sorts. Why would they slaughter the Human Race?
And forging the Witch Slaying Sword clearly meant going to war with the Witch Race. That seemed even more unlikely.
If the Demon Race had such ambitions, the Dao Ancestor wouldn't have let Di Jun and Taiyi take charge of the Heavenly Court.
The powerful beings had been eager to buzz in for the generous rewards.
But when they saw the question, they stopped short.
No one dared get involved at a time like this. The stakes were too high.
One careless answer might directly affect the Primordial World's current stability.
Di Jun and Taiyi clearly understood how serious the situation was as well.
Di Jun: "Fellow Daoists, don't misunderstand. I'll answer this one!"
Taiyi: "Good. To show our sincerity, I'm willing to stake a spiritual treasure!"
Di Jun gritted his teeth and replied immediately.
Di Jun: "I'll stake three. That should prove the sincerity of our Demon Race, right? I choose 'No'! The Demon Race would never slaughter the Human Race to forge the Witch Slaying Sword!"
As soon as Di Jun answered, he held his breath.
Suddenly, ripples spread across the sky above the Heavenly Court. A powerful suction force appeared, swallowing up all four of Di Jun and Taiyi's spiritual treasures!
Di Jun and Taiyi were utterly horrified!
The power was so overwhelming that they hadn't even had time to fight back!
Damn it! Had they given the wrong answer?
At the same time, a notification appeared in the group.
"Incorrect answer!!!"
When they saw the system notification, two terrifying auras erupted simultaneously from Buzhou Mountain and the Witch Race's divine temple.
Across the entire Primordial World, every powerful being above the Golden Immortal realm sensed it.
They were utterly shocked, with no idea what had happened!
The powerful beings in the group were shaken to the core, sensing that the Primordial World was about to be turned upside down!
Meanwhile, Qin Feng was delighted to discover that four spiritual treasures had fallen from the sky, landing right at his feet!
