Chapter 1

Heavens Chat Group

"News came from the Cabinet today: martial arts cultivation is expected to be universally promoted this year."

"Wudang Sect, Emei Sect, and Shaolin Sect will be openly recruiting students worldwide."

"Newly promoted Grandmaster Ma Qiangdong challenged Grandmaster Liu Huateng. Grandmasters from many countries have stated that they will come to observe!"

Li Hao scrolled through the news, unable to stop the corner of his lips from twitching.

Although he had been transported to this parallel world for over half a month, every time Li Hao saw this news, he could not help feeling immense pressure.

Fuck!

This was too fucking absurd!

This was completely unscientific!

Spiritual energy had revived, and heaven and earth had changed!

Being transported to a parallel world was one thing, but why the fuck had he not arrived when the spiritual energy revival had just begun? Why had he arrived at its very end?

According to information online, this was already the fifteenth year of the spiritual energy revival. Otherwise, there would not be so many Grandmasters.

What was a Grandmaster? They could fly through the air, shatter mountains with their fists, and sever the Yangtze River with a sword!

Simply put, they were a group of humanoid missiles!

"Ah."

Li Hao let out a heavy sigh, feeling rather bitter.

Fifteen years had passed since the world's revival. Every nation had long since completed the necessary reforms and established entirely new power structures. He had barely caught the tail end of this great era.

This was an extremely awkward time to be transported here. The great opportunities of the early days of the world's revival had already passed, and the cake of the new era had more or less been divided among the rising Grandmasters. Perhaps gaining a foothold in such a new era would not be especially difficult. But rising to power and ruling supreme in this era would be extraordinarily difficult.

"The Heavens Chat Group has been activated. Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader, Li Xunhuan, Little Yan Lingji, Little Dragon Maiden, and Invincible Urchin Gu Santong have joined the group."

"Congratulations. You have been selected to join the Heavens Chat Group. Please confirm your nickname."

"As the first batch of members, you have two hours to elect a group leader. After two hours, the person with the most votes will become the group leader. If multiple people receive the same number of votes, the group leader election will be held again after the second batch of members joins.

The group leader position is for life. Unless the current group leader dies, they may not step down."

Li Hao was completely dumbfounded and did not react for a long while.

What the fuck was this?

The Heavens Chat Group?

Wait, the Heavens Chat Group was not the important part.

The important part was Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader, Li Xunhuan, Little Yan Lingji, Little Dragon Maiden, and Invincible Urchin Gu Santong. Weren't they all beings from fictional worlds?

Was he dreaming?

Li Hao secretly pinched his thigh.

Hiss.

That hurt a little!

Li Hao gradually came to his senses and barely suppressed the excitement in his heart.

He had already experienced being transported to another world. Was a little Heavens Chat Group really worth getting excited over? Was it?

Li Hao recalled the three messages in his mind and fell into brief contemplation.

First, the good news was that these fools had all used their real names, and he knew their origins and backgrounds inside out.

Bullshitting—no, chatting with them would certainly be much easier.

Second, the group leader!

They were the first generation of veterans in the Heavens Chat Group.

Although he did not know how much these people understood about the chat group, they were all ancient people living in ancient times. Faced with something so fantastical and shocking, no matter how strong their nerves were, they probably would not be able to accept it right away.

To sum it up, he could completely exploit the situation and seize the group leader's position!

Especially since he knew them inside out, stealing the group leader's position would be even easier.

As Li Hao pondered, he already had an idea.

Chat Group.

Omniscient Li joined the group.

Everyone raised their brows slightly. Omniscient? This newcomer was rather arrogant!

Although everyone felt that the newcomer was far too conceited, no one truly cared about Li Hao's title.

They were all people of the martial world. What kind of domineering title had they not seen before? Not to mention Invincible Urchin Gu Santong.

Who would be bored enough to dwell on whether Gu Santong was truly invincible?

Invincible Urchin Gu Santong: "Someone else has joined."

Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader: "An immortal?"

Li Xunhuan: "It seems similar to our situation. They must also be from different worlds."

Little Yan Lingji: "I'm still little, so I don't dare say anything."

Li Hao watched their conversation, and the corner of his eye twitched slightly.

It seemed they had already talked quite a bit before this. They had even formed the concept of people coming from different worlds.

But it did not matter. Pretending to be impressive and swindling his way into the position of group leader was the proper path now.

Omniscient Li: "I recall that I was drinking merrily with the immortals. How did I suddenly arrive in a place like this? The Heavens Chat Group... an existence beyond the Heavenly Dao? And what lands do you beings come from? Creatures from the myriad small worlds? Never mind. Let this immortal cast a divination."

Silence!

Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader: "Great Immortal?"

Invincible Urchin Gu Santong: "Damn, although I have absolutely no idea what this Great Immortal is talking about, he somehow sounds incredibly impressive. But omniscient and omnipotent..."

Little Yan Lingji: "I'm still little, so I don't dare say anything."

Omniscient Li: "@Invincible Urchin Gu Santong, have you obtained the true inheritance of the Heavenly Pool Strange Hero and mastered the Diamond Indestructible Divine Skill and the Sucking Power Technique?"

Invincible Urchin Gu Santong: "Holy crap, I only found this supreme treasure half a month ago. Great Immortal, you even know about something like that?"

Omniscient Li: "@Li Xunhuan, Little Li the Scholar, Li Xunhuan?"

Li Xunhuan: "(ΩДΩ) I am indeed Little Li the Scholar, Li Xunhuan. Why does Immortal Elder know of me?"

Everyone was utterly shocked at the sight.

Before Li Hao arrived, they had already exchanged a few words.

Although the Heavens Chat Group was incredibly unbelievable, they were not ordinary people. While they had yet to accept such an absurdly fantastical premise, they had roughly understood that they were not from the same world.

Thus, when Li Hao so easily exposed their identities and circumstances, they could not help but be shocked.

Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader: "The workings of fate, glimpsing the countless living beings of the heavens... unbelievable. Such power is truly unbelievable.

"Omniscience and omnipotence may be a slight exaggeration, but this innate art of divination is truly worthy of respect and awe.

"Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader can also deduce the secrets of heaven, but I could never do so as effortlessly as Immortal Elder. I can only deduce the fates of some beings in our world, but to deduce the heavens... alas, I am far, far inferior to Immortal Elder."

Little Yan Lingji: "I'm still little, so I don't dare say anything.

"But even so, I still have to say that Big Brother Li is amazing! Big Brother Moon-Worshipping is amazing too. I'm so envious.

"(╥╯^╰╥), Yan Lingji is so pitiful. Master only knows how to force me to cultivate every day.

"┭┮﹏┭┮, I'm still little. I want friends, tasty food, and to sleep in late."

Li Hao narrowed his eyes.

Things seemed to have become a little subtle.

Invincible Urchin Gu Santong had only just obtained the Heavenly Pool Strange Hero's inheritance. That meant the plot had not yet begun. There were still at least twenty or thirty long years before the events of The World's Best.

And Yan Lingji!

Was this girl really that peerlessly seductive Yan Lingji from Nine Songs of the Sky? No matter how he looked at her, she seemed like an immature little brat.

And a master!?

If he remembered correctly, when Yan Lingji first appeared in Nine Songs of the Sky, she had already been kept like a mermaid in an underground prison for more than ten years.

Did that mean the Yan Lingji in this timeline was also from before the plot began?

Interesting. This seemed even more interesting.

The corners of Li Hao's lips rose slightly, but inwardly, he could no longer hold back his wild laughter.

As the saying went, spoiling things once was fun; spoiling things forever was endlessly fun.

You poor little things, were you ready to welcome lives full of spoilers?
