Although Qian Xunji had been outmaneuvered by Dongfang Bubai, he wasn't particularly angry. After all, the other party was the leader of a sect, and one who had ascended to that position by inciting a rebellion and overthrowing the previous leader at that. To suggest that such a person lacked cunning would be impossible.

If she were truly a fool who threw divine martial arts manuals around like trash, she wouldn't have been the one to become the leader.

With this thought in mind, Qian Xunji refocused his attention on the chat group.

After a moment of contemplation, he organized his thoughts.

Martial Soul Hall Pope: "I don't know what the situation is with that [Omniscient and Almighty Li Daxian]. After all, I don't know him, and I'm not familiar with him."

Martial Soul Hall Pope: "However, I do have a certain understanding of the identities of some members in this group."

Martial Soul Hall Pope: "For instance, [Sunrise in the East, Only I am Invincible], if I'm not mistaken, you should be Leader Dongfang of the Sun Moon Holy Sect, right? And Undead Knight, you should be Young Master Ning Caichen. As for Gentleman Sword, you should be Master Yue of the Mount Hua Sect. I Want to be Zhao Gao, you are Gao Yao, correct? Poison Girl of Chuyun, you should be Miss Xiao Yi Xian. And 'Not for Immortality, Only to Wait for Your Return in this Mortal World,' I wonder if you are the Ruthless Empress, who seeks not immortality, but only to find her brother?"

Sunrise in the East, Only I am Invincible: "..."

Gentleman Sword: "..."

Undead Knight: "..."

I Want to be Zhao Gao: "Who exactly are you? How could you possibly know my identity?"

Poison Girl of Chuyun: "???"

Not for Immortality, Only to Wait for Your Return in this Mortal World: "Who are you? Why do you know about my brother?"

At the peak of a desolate mountain stood a slender woman in white.

Her long hair danced in the wind, and her moon-white dress accentuated her graceful and proud celestial figure. Her skin was as white as jade, as if carved from mutton-fat suet.

She was peerless in beauty, her temperament transcendent, as if she might ascend to immortality at any moment. She wore a Ghost Face Mask, revealing only her chin and a pair of eyes as clear as autumn water.

She was the most stunning Empress in the history of the human race, the most talented woman of all time! She was the number one Ruthless Empress of past and present, and also the member of the chat group known as "Not for Immortality, Only to Wait for Your Return in this Mortal World."

But at this moment, she could no longer maintain her usual cold indifference.

Because after ten thousand years, she had once again heard news of her brother.

Gentleman Sword: "May I ask, friend, why do you know us so clearly? Didn't you just join the chat group?"

Undead Knight: "Could it be that you also possess this so-called omniscience and omnipotence?"

Watching the screen as Qian Xunji exposed their identities—even revealing the newcomers who had just joined—Dongfang Bai's beautiful eyes flickered slightly.

As expected, she knew this newcomer must know something. He might even be capable of divination from afar, just like that previous group owner. It seemed that was indeed the case.

Sunrise in the East, Only I am Invincible: "Could you explain to us how you know our identities? Could it be that you are the same type of person as that 'Great Immortal' from before? Can you learn our identities through methods we don't understand?"

Seeing Dongfang Bubai's analysis, Qian Xunji clicked his tongue slightly.

Should he say it was expected of a villainous boss? Her mind moved fast.

It seemed he would have to be more cautious when speaking in the future, or he might get played by her without realizing it; that wouldn't be fun at all.

Moreover, if even Dongfang Bubai, who had only lived for a few decades, was this difficult to deal with, how troublesome would the Ruthless Empress, who had lived for tens of thousands of years, be?

With this thought, Qian Xunji became even more firm in his decision not to pretend to be a mystic like [Omniscient and Almighty Li Daxian], but to be straightforward instead.

Martial Soul Hall Pope: "I don't know if I'm the same type of person, but I do have a certain understanding of chat groups."

Martial Soul Hall Pope: "To tell you the truth, I have seen many types of things like this 'chat group' before."

Gentleman Sword: "Many types?"

Undead Knight: "Many types???!!!"

Ning Caichen was somewhat shocked. He had originally thought that the chat group he joined was an extraordinary existence and that he was a very lucky person. Yet now, Qian Xunji was telling him that there were many types of chat groups like this?

Sunrise in the East, Only I am Invincible: "Are you saying that besides our Myriad Worlds Chat Group, there are other chat groups elsewhere?"

Dongfang Bai was caught off guard. She had assumed there was only this one chat group; who would have thought that this thing could be mass-produced?

Martial Soul Hall Pope: "Like our group? I'm not too sure about that! Because the chat groups I've seen were in novels."

Martial Soul Hall Pope: "If you don't understand the word 'novel,' you can think of them as miscellaneous stories or biographical records..."

I Want to be Zhao Gao: "Novels? Is it the kind of novel I know?"

Martial Soul Hall Pope: "Yes, exactly the kind of novel you know. And the chat groups I've seen are a genre in novels, or rather, products of the 'chat group' genre."

Martial Soul Hall Pope: "The specific trope of these chat group novels is that the protagonist is reborn in another world, travels to a parallel world, encounters a spiritual energy recovery, and then obtains a 'cheat' called a chat group. Then, by relying on their knowledge of certain characters in the chat group from their previous life, they pretend to be a big shot or a prophet to gain benefits and become strong quickly."

Martial Soul Hall Pope: "As for how I know your identities, well, let's put it this way: I have read other types of novels or watched television dramas, and among them, all of you existed."

Martial Soul Hall Pope: "In other words, to me, you are all like people in a story. Can you understand it if I put it that way?"

Qian Xunji didn't mind telling everyone what he knew. After all, this was something he had planned from the start—letting the other members know the truth of their worlds was, in itself, a massive favor.

Besides, since he was being so "kind" as to tell everyone so much information for free, even if they didn't send him a few red packets to show their gratitude, they would at least have to keep his kindness in mind!
