Newcomer Uncle Jiu

Li Hao was playing with Wanwan when he saw the notification in the Chat Group and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

Another new person has arrived.

"Newcomer Lin Jiu has joined the Chat Group."

Li Hao frowned slightly.

Lin Jiu!

Who is this? I don't recognize him.

Li Hao pondered for a moment before clicking on Lin Jiu's message.

Name: Lin Jiu.

Gender: Male.

Origin: A disciple of Maoshan, who made a living by running Righteousness Village.

Special Note: This world is of extraordinary level and has undergone tremendous changes.

Li Hao raised an eyebrow, then realized what was happening.

Lin Jiu, a disciple of Maoshan, runs Righteousness Village; isn't he just like Uncle Nine from Mr. Vampire?

However, what does it mean that this world is of extraordinary level and has undergone a great upheaval?

Li Hao was puzzled.

"Heaven and earth will perish, and the Three Realms will be destroyed."

The Chat Group's response was brief and did not provide a clear answer.

These mere eight words sparked numerous speculations in Li Hao.

Heaven and earth have fallen, and the Three Realms are no more!

The Three Realms likely refer to the three realms of Heaven, Earth, and Humanity.

The phrase "the Three Realms are no more" most likely means that the Three Realms underwent a tremendous change, and their former appearance was no longer what it used to be. Coupled with the collapse of heaven and earth, it's not hard to imagine the meaning of "the Three Realms are no more." Some indescribable upheaval occurred in the Three Realms, causing the entire world to fall into chaos.

Li Hao frowned slightly, remaining silent in thought.

Near the Righteousness Village.

The sky and earth were dark, with only the starlight of Fan Xing stars cascading down like mercury.

Shadows loomed in the dense jungle, and the faint sounds of foxes howling and wolves howling emanated from within, sending chills down one's spine. A gentle breeze swept by, carrying with it an icy stench.

The Righteousness Village was located in the suburbs, opening at sunrise and closing at sunset.

The Righteousness Village was a bit busier than usual today.

The simple room contained only a few pieces of furniture.

On an old-fashioned octagonal table sat an oil lamp and three small dishes: shredded pig's ear, steaming stir-fried greens, and a bowl of fragrant chicken soup with scallions floating on top of the creamy broth, making one's mouth water.

Two people were sitting at the octagonal table.

A man with graying hair and a square face, exuding righteousness.

The man had an ordinary face, a watermelon-shaped haircut, and squinty eyes. His eyes, which he could never open, made his ordinary face look slightly sleazy.

They were none other than Uncle Nine, the owner of the Righteousness Village, and Uncle Nine's disciple, Wencai.

Wencai's face lit up with surprise, and he exclaimed, "Master, the meal today is so sumptuous!"

Uncle Nine smiled and said, "I took on a job and earned some extra money. Eat up, it won't taste good if it gets cold."

Before Uncle Nine could finish speaking, Wencai couldn't resist picking up his chopsticks.

He happily tore off a large chicken leg, ready to savor this rare delicacy, when he saw Uncle Nine's face darken as rain.

Wencai was utterly embarrassed, frozen in place, unsure whether to advance or retreat.

"Ahem, Master, you've worked hard. Please eat more."

Wencai paused for a moment, then carefully placed the chicken leg in his hand into Uncle Nine's bowl.

Uncle Nine nodded in satisfaction and said, "Eat."

Upon hearing this, Wencai happily picked up a chicken leg for himself and began to devour it.

The meal was eaten in silence. When dinner was over, Wencai patted his round belly contentedly, his face beaming with happiness.

In those days, being able to eat meat was no easy feat. Even for someone of their status, the number of times they ate meat throughout the year was very limited.

Wencai asked curiously, "Master, did you take on a job for Master Ren's family?"

Uncle Nine said, "That's right. Master Ren wants to move the old master's coffin and asked me to come tomorrow to discuss the matter and also to help with the feng shui. It should be quite busy these next few days, so you should get some rest."

Wencai said, "Okay."

Wencai spoke, he looked at the chicken soup bowl, which looked as if it had been licked by a dog, with a blissful expression, and said regretfully, "If only we could run into big customers like Master Ren more often, we could eat and drink the finest food every day."

Uncle Nine glared at Wencai with annoyance and scolded, "How dare you talk like that? Get back to your work!"

Wencai gave a sheepish laugh and quickly slunk away.

Uncle Nine shook his head helplessly. What a simpleton.

He looked at the messy table and the chicken bones in front of him, and couldn't help but rub his equally round belly.

It's a pity; customers as generous as Master Ren are rare indeed.

How wonderful it would be to encounter such big customers more often!

Uncle Nine braced himself on the table with both hands and struggled to stand up.

"Congratulations on joining the Heavens Chat Group. Please silently say ' Heavens Chat Group, enter' in your mind."

Uncle Nine paused slightly, his face full of doubt.

What's going on?

Hallucination?

Or is it ghosts or monsters!?

Upon thinking of this, Uncle Nine's brows furrowed tightly.

Goddess Leona: "Huh, a newcomer has arrived at this time."

The Invincible Urchin Gu Santong: "Newlyweds post photos, men post nude photos, women post measurements."

Wanwan: "Ugh, a new person coming at this time, how annoying."

Little Fairy Yan Lingji: "Oh dear, another newcomer has arrived."

Gao Yao, congratulations on officially evolving from the number one newbie in this group to the number two newbie.

Gao Yao was both amused and exasperated.

Miss, is there a difference between the first and second newbies?

Gao Yao: "Oh, thank you so much for the pointers, Sister Yan Lingji."

Invincible Urchin Gu Santong: "Toothache, how can you be so shameless? You're over thirty years old, calling Yan Lingji' sister,' aren't you ashamed?"

Little Fairy Yan Lingji: "╭(╯^╰)╮Hmph, Gu Santong, you have a problem with that?"

Invincible Urchin Gu Santong: "Haha, Yan Lingji, what are you saying? I was just joking with Gao Yao. Besides, Gao Yao is over thirty years old. For him to call you 'sister' is definitely malicious."

Gu Santong never hesitated to give Gao Yao, who dared to steal his position as the number one sycophant in the Chat Group, a little trouble to amuse him.

Gao Yao: "Brother Gu, you misunderstand. I call Yan Lingji' sister' for two reasons: first, Yan Lingji is from a much earlier era than me, and second, Yan Lingji is my senior."

As the saying goes, "Among three people walking together, there must be one who can teach me." There are many things I Gao Yao learn from Yan Lingji, and she is also my senior. Therefore, calling her "elder sister" is only to show my respect for Yan Lingji, and there is absolutely no other meaning.

Little Fairy Yan Lingji: "O(≧▽≦)O, very good, I, Yan Lingji, admire people like you."

Gao Yao: "Sister Yan Lingji is too modest. Gao Yao was just speaking my mind."

Gu Santong grinned, baring his teeth.

So, is this the reason for flattery?

And what on earth have you been through to become such a master of flattery?

Goddess Leona: "Hehehe, shameless."

Gao Yao: "Goddess Leona's teachings are correct. I will definitely pay attention in the future. As Confucius said, 'If you have faults, correct them; if you don't, strive to improve.' I will remember Goddess Leona's teachings and strive to examine myself three times a day so as not to disappoint Goddess Leona."

Goddess Leona: "∑(′△`)?!, This works too?"

Goddess Leona: "(￣￣), I know you're just flattering me, but this goddess is really enjoying it."

"Gao Yao, not bad, you have potential. Don't hesitate to come to me Leona, if you encounter any problems in the future."

Gao Yao forced a smile, inwardly speechless with frustration.

Looking for you? Am I asking for trouble?

He hadn't forgotten that Leona had just offered to send Wanwan a star-destroying spaceship.

Li Hao shook his head, amused, somewhat speechless.

Gao Yao really knows how to talk to people in a human language and to ghosts in a ghost language.

Omniscient Li: "@Lin Jiu, the newcomer has emerged."

Wanwan: "Hey, group admin, could you please help me think of a solution?"

Omniscient Li: "You mean the matter of reviving Bi Xiuxin?"

Wanwan: "Yes, Bi Xiuxin has been dead for over ten years. Waaah, no one can possibly revive her with their own abilities."

Angel Yan: "→_→, keep showing off, go ahead."

Chen Nan: "Resurrecting someone who's been dead for over a decade shouldn't be too difficult, right?"

Tony Stark: "It might be simple for some big shots, but it's still quite troublesome for us."

I can clone an identical individual using the other person's DNA, but this individual will only have the same appearance as the original, without their memories. Such a resurrection is less a resurrection and more a simple physical replication."

The Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader: "Wanwan's world is not of a high level; there is no Heavenly Court or Underworld."

This explains why, in Wanwan's world, the soul can hardly exist apart from the body; a person who has been dead for more than ten years would probably have had their soul dissipate long ago.

Therefore, unless one possesses the ability to turn back time, it is impossible to completely revive Bi Xiuxin.

Wanwan: "This is so troublesome, why don't we just clone him?"

Ming Yanwei: "Speaking of which, why are you thinking so much? Shi Zhixuan is just an ordinary martial artist, is he really worth all this effort?"

Wanwan: "What people value is not Shi Zhixuan's strength, but his personal prestige."

Shi Zhixuan is a senior member of the Holy Gate who has dominated the martial arts world for decades, striking fear into the hearts of countless sects. If I can make Shi Zhixuan submit to my feet, which member of the Holy Gate would dare to show me any disrespect?

o(￣ヘ￣o#) Hmph, I'll definitely teach them a lesson they won't forget.

Qiao Feng: "Wanwan's considerations are not without merit. Sometimes, prestige is far more important than personal strength."

Angel Yan: "Wanwan is actually considering helping Shi Zhixuan revive Bi Xiuxin? I thought Wanwan was going to kidnap Shi Zhixuan's daughter and make him submit. This Wanwan must be a fake, right?"

Wanwan: ""

Invincible Urchin Gu Santong: "I remember a passage in Journey to the West where Zhenyuanzi's Ginseng Fruit Tree was destroyed, and it seems that Guanyin Bodhisattva helped restore it, right?"

"If Guanyin Bodhisattva had intervened, she might have been able to revive Bi Xiuxin directly."

Wanwan: "Nonsense, they don't even know Guanyin."

Invincible Urchin Gu Santong: "Are you stupid? You don't know him, but the group owner does."

Omniscient Li: "???"

Li Hao looked completely innocent. What does this have to do with me?

Guanyin?

I think we've only met once, right?

Of course, that's not the point. The point is, why would they help you?

Li Hao rolled his eyes, utterly speechless at Gu Santong's wildly imaginative ideas.

Looking at the various messages in the Chat Group, Uncle Nine felt a little dizzy.

Who are these people?!

They keep talking about resurrecting people at the drop of a hat, even asking Guanyin the Goddess of Mercy) for help, as if they were asking the neighbor next door for help.

It's a hallucination, it must be a hallucination, someone is trying to kill me!
