Uploading

After the banquet ended, Richard focused on tempering his body, using low-level divine power to strengthen it. That was enough to boost his physical strength by a great deal in a short time.

There had been almost no changes in the Chat Group either. For the others, only a few days had passed; for those who kept the Chat Group open all the time, not even a full day had gone by.

After spending some time chatting idly in the group, Richard had more or less figured out everyone's respective points in time.

The Ninja World where Slug Sage was seemed to have only recently finished the Third Shinobi World War. This shut-in rarely went out and could only learn a little about the outside world by occasionally talking to Tsunade. It could not understand why those people outside fought and killed each other all day long.

The Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils World where transmigrator Lin Feng was seemed to have already gone through its storyline. This transmigrator had long since become the strongest martial artist, surpassing even Sweeper Monk. Now, he was pondering how to enter the Dao through martial arts and embark on the path of immortality.

He really seemed to have changed quite a bit of the plot. For example, his first windfall had been the North Dark Divine Art and Lingbo Microsteps, obtaining the opportunity several years before Duan Yu.

Afterward, he shut himself away to cultivate for several years. It did not matter that he could not understand martial arts himself—he simply posted the manuals in the group and had Slug Sage, Feng Baobao, and the others help study them. He also practiced the Old Farmer Art Feng Baobao had shared, worked with Slug Sage to modify some Ninjutsu, researched Sage Mode, and kept himself incredibly busy.

This guy had also intercepted Wang Yuyan early on and hooked up with Mu Wan, embracing one on either side and enjoying the company of both beauties. He was the most energetic member of the entire Chat Group.

Feng Baobao was very quiet, but she occasionally went against Xu San and Xu Si's instructions and revealed a little information in the group.

For instance, the group members all knew that Zhang Chulan had not yet been exposed and was still attending Nankai University. They also knew that when Lin Feng had sent over the North Dark Divine Art and Lingbo Microsteps, she had given away the Old Farmer Art in return.

Ye Zhen, that chuunibyou, was also very active. Knowing that he would get beaten badly when he clashed with the King Organization in the future, he was now highly motivated to seek out powerful Ghosts to control. He disdained stealing his future teammates' Vengeful Ghosts. But in the Mysterious Recovery world, Ghosts were everywhere. There were not many Ghosts in the Real World before the plot began, but Spirit Lands were plentiful. Since he knew the plot, he could just head to a Spirit Land to find them.

Kuina from the One Piece world was even less of a concern. Her old man was not weak, and she was in East Blue, the weakest sea. As long as she knew she would actually fall down the stairs and die, she would naturally take precautions.

As for the Fate nonsense mentioned in many fanfics, how could the One Piece world have such a thing? It was not some higher world.

And that was indeed the case. Kuina calmly passed through the period of her so-called fated death and was now thirteen or fourteen years old. She was growing stronger and stronger, and she was still beating Zoro down. The little girl uploaded her old man's insights into swordsmanship and her family's forging knowledge. She did not hesitate at all when selling her old man's things, evolving from a caring little daughter into a black-hearted one. She had also learned some suitable cultivation arts from the group. If she kept training like this, she might become invincible before she even set sail.

For her, dying in battle while pursuing the path of the sword would have been one thing. Falling down the stairs and dying? She would never allow herself to die so carelessly. The little girl hated that manga artist called Oda so much her teeth itched. He had better hope she never got her hands on him.

Wan Wan went without saying. She had revealed it herself: Yang Guang was still alive, meaning she was either in the early stages of the plot or before it had begun. She had casually uploaded some cultivation manuals too, but she had not uploaded the Heavenly Demon Secret Art, which was the foundation of her sect. She was probably waiting to exchange it for something she wanted.

Xia Mi was rather sly. She had not revealed the point in time she was at. She might not even believe what everyone in the group was saying yet. After all, she had not uploaded a single cultivation manual so far. Leaving everything else aside, as a Dragon King—and one who controlled "Authority"—she definitely possessed some impressive Alchemy. But she had not rushed to upload it.

Recently, though, she had been probing the group and inviting people to her world. There was no need to think hard to guess what she was planning.

Lin Feng had also warned the group that, aside from Slug Sage, Ye Zhen, and Richard, everyone else was far weaker than that Scummy Dragon King. Even Slug Sage and Ye Zhen might not be able to defeat her, so everyone should consider carefully.

Slug Sage was too enormous and did not want to test the power of modern weapons. Ye Zhen was in a hurry to grow stronger, so he did not go either.

Richard did have some thoughts about it. At the very least, he was interested in the Dragon Race's Alchemy. That Scummy Dragon King was unlearned and probably did not know the Seven Alchemy Domains. He would be better off finding Odin to talk with.

But there was no rush. He would leave that Scummy Dragon King hanging for a while first.

Come to think of it, everyone else in the group more or less knew the point in time they were at. Only he had remained in the Material Plane without even visiting a Divine Plane, so he had no idea where he was in the timeline. He did not know whether the Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns had died, or whether Linley had been born. He knew nothing. But there was no rush. He would find out once he went to a Divine Plane. For now, he should peacefully grind levels in the Material Plane.

Now, he needed to upload some things to earn points. There were things in the group's database that he wanted to exchange for, and it was also time to give the Chat Group members a little shock from a higher world.

He uploaded the Battle Qi Secret Manuals for every element, Various Elemental Magic, Mage Meditation Methods, and so on. He even uploaded the moves and ultimate techniques he had created in the past. To him, those moves had long been outdated. Besides, they were difficult for others to learn. Without the corresponding comprehension of laws, they simply could not master them.

The continuous uploads soon exceeded the combined total of everything everyone else had uploaded.

Lin Feng: Damn, boss, that's awesome.

Xia Mi: What the hell are you barking about.jpg

Wan Wan: What happened?

Sister Bao: Confused kitty.jpg

Lin Feng: Hurry up and check the group files.

After some time, Richard finally finished uploading everything. Even combined, everyone else had uploaded less than a tenth as many files as he had.

The main reason was that the others did not care much about the group files. Aside from Lin Feng, who had uploaded nearly all the martial arts of the Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils World, the others seemed to believe that as long as they had enough points, that was enough. They had casually uploaded a few things just to earn points.

Of course, Richard had also deliberately split each branch of magic into separate uploads. For example, the Earth Element Magic Compendium could have been uploaded as a whole, but he insisted on uploading it one spell at a time, from first-circle magic to Saint Domain forbidden spells. He turned something that could have been uploaded once into dozens or even hundreds of uploads. On top of that, he uploaded all the moves he had developed. Besides the ones he had commonly used in the Saint Domain, he even uploaded failed moves and mediocre techniques. After several centuries of accumulation, there were quite a few.

There were also methods for brewing all kinds of secret medicines, weapon forging, and more. As long as the Chat Group accepted them, he uploaded them. Do not assume that the Coiling Dragon World's alchemy was poor just because the protagonists in the original plot did not seem to take many pills.

That was not the case. The Coiling Dragon World's alchemy was actually quite advanced. The protagonists simply grew stronger too quickly to use those things. Besides, the dragon blood and Blue Heart Grass Linley consumed when awakening as a Dragonblood Warrior had been a simple medicinal combination. In the Divine Planes, there were medicines that could aid gods in cultivation, medicines that could poison gods to death, medicines that could enhance spiritual power, and more. They were simply too expensive for ordinary low-level gods and even mid-level gods to afford.

All told, he had uploaded nearly ten thousand times. The Chat Group's rewards alone had earned him several million points, and there would be revenue-sharing points in the future as well.

Richard naturally had a purpose in doing this, but it was not some shallow purpose like showing off.

He wanted the people in the Chat Group to start competing. Every last one of them was not taking it seriously. Many things he wanted had not been uploaded—for example, the Eight Miraculous Skills from the Under One Person world, the Ninja World's Sealing Techniques, Yin-Yang Release, Space-Time Ninjutsu, Dragon Race Alchemy, and so on.

Since that was how they were going to be, fine. He would upload a huge pile of things. There would always be something these people wanted. If they wanted it, they would need points to buy it. And where would the points come from? Uploading materials, of course.

Compete. All of you, start competing.

Xia Mi: That really is awesome.

Kuina: There's so much, I can't even look through it all.

Lin Feng: Worshipping the boss.jpg

Sister Bao: Is this supposed to turn the world upside down?

Everyone in the Chat Group was utterly shocked. At that moment, they truly felt as though they had been crushed.

Looking at the rows upon rows of uploader names in the group files, every single one was Richard. Only after scrolling far down could they find materials uploaded by others.

What they felt now was not merely the crushing difference in power that Lin Feng had spoken of between higher worlds. These things also represented a world's foundation. After all, Richard had said that he had only just become a low-level god. Even his family, which was merely an emerging family, could collect so many things. How many good things must exist in the plane he lived in? And this was only a Material Plane. How profound must the foundation of the Divine Planes be?

Richard had released complete cultivation manuals for both Warriors and Mages, covering every level from the first rank to the Saint Domain. He had released every elemental cultivation manual he could collect, even including rare elemental magic such as Life and Death Magic. His generosity was truly immense.

As for after the Saint Domain, there were no longer any specific cultivation manuals. Everything centered on comprehending laws.
