When I Am the Group Leader, I Must!

I Shall Be the Group Leader!

Omniscient Li: "At the end of the day, your problem is that you aren't strong enough. If you had the Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader's strength, then in your world, forget being captured—you'd be lucky not to be catching others as pets."

Everyone who saw this came to a sudden realization.

That was right. If they possessed the Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader's world-destroying power, what the hell would they have to fear?

Even if every martial arts master in the world joined forces, what could they do?

Omniscient Li: "As the saying goes, one force can overcome ten thousand techniques; the Great Dao beneath heaven is no different.

"As long as you possess sufficient strength, what does it matter even if future calamities descend? Send me the cultivation technique you practice. This Immortal will study the laws of the Great Dao in your world and see whether I can find a good way to improve your cultivation."

After stringing them along for so long, Li Hao finally revealed his true intentions.

The Earth where he currently lived was no less affected by the revival of spiritual energy than the martial arts worlds the others inhabited. It might even be stronger.

After all, only fifteen years had passed since the spiritual energy revival, yet Grandmasters capable of shattering mountains with a single punch had already appeared!

If another fifteen years, or a hundred and fifty years, passed, who could say that Earth would not become one of those legendary fantasy worlds?

In the long run, Earth's potential was in no way inferior.

But that had been useless to the former Li Hao. Without suitable cultivation methods or divine manuals to strengthen himself, even if this world could accommodate gods and Buddhas, it had nothing to do with him.

But things were different now. With the Heavens Chat Group, it was like opening a miraculous gateway to the Heavens and Myriad Worlds. Earth lacked cultivation methods, but among the vast Heavens and Myriad Worlds, across countless worlds, there was no telling how many such methods existed.

Even methods of immortality were nothing unusual.

Omniscient Li: "It isn't that this Immortal is stingy or unwilling to pass on more profound divine arts to you. It is simply that every world in the Heavens and Myriad Worlds has its own Heavenly Dao. Even if this Immortal taught you supreme divine abilities and wondrous methods, you might not be able to cultivate them in your world. Just as fish cannot leave water, ordinary people cannot survive underwater for long."

Everyone fell silent, feeling as though they had gained some insight, yet unable to put it into words.

As for Li Hao's words, no one doubted them.

In their eyes, Li Hao had accurately revealed every detail of their lives. The terrifying extent of his cultivation was beyond imagination. Hadn't even the mighty Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader, who wished to destroy the world, admired him immensely?

Faced with such a supreme figure who could peer into their foundations across the Heavens and Myriad Worlds, how could they possibly suspect him of coveting their cultivation techniques? Just as the richest man in the world would never covet the two coins in a beggar's bowl.

Seeing Li Hao's words, Yan Lingji fell into a small dilemma.

It was not that she thought Li Hao was deceiving her. She was simply afraid that if her master learned she had leaked her clan's secrets, he might beat her.

That little vine whip hurt a lot.

While Yan Lingji was still struggling, the others in the group had already made their moves.

Invincible Urchin Gu Santong sent Omniscient Li an exclusive red packet.

Li Xunhuan sent Omniscient Li an exclusive red packet.

Invincible Urchin Gu Santong: "When this humble one first met Great Immortal, I felt that Great Immortal's divine abilities and magical power were unmatched beneath heaven, inspiring endless admiration. Unfortunately, Gu has always lived freely and owns nothing of value, nor do I possess any other treasures worthy of presenting to Great Immortal.

"These two supreme manuals were found by this humble one in an ancient cave, and they are peerless divine arts, among the finest under heaven.

"Compared to Great Immortal's divine powers and cultivation methods, these two manuals are surely not worth mentioning. However, they are the most precious things this humble one possesses. I hope Great Immortal can forgive this."

The corner of Li Xunhuan's mouth twitched slightly.

This guy had no shame at all!

More importantly, he had already said everything. What was Li Xunhuan supposed to say now?

Thinking of the prophecy Li Hao had given him, Li Xunhuan could not help but shudder.

The future was too terrifying. I, Li Xunhuan, refuse to accept it!

He said, "This one possesses nothing of value. Only this manual is barely presentable, and I hope Immortal Elder will not take offense. Li wishes Immortal Elder an early attainment of the Great Dao of Primordial Unity and the achievement of an eternal, indestructible body."

Invincible Urchin scratched his head, feeling rather annoyed.

That damned scholar! Even his flattery sounded so pleasant. It was infuriating.

Sigh, who told Invincible Urchin that I had no learning? One phrase—'Boss, you're awesome'—is enough to get me through the world.

Omniscient Li claimed the red packets.

Congratulations, you have obtained Diamond Indestructible Divine Skill, Star-Sucking Great Skill, Little Li Flying Dagger.

Li Hao narrowed his eyes, no longer able to suppress the excitement in his heart.

I'm rich!

With these treasures, he did not dare claim too much, but at the very least, he now had a chance to advance to the Grandmaster realm!

Just as Li Hao claimed the red packets, a vast and majestic voice of the Dao echoed in everyone's minds at once:

Group activity has reached its limit. The group level has increased. Group mission function unlocked. Private chat function unlocked. Due to the Heavens Chat Group's advancement, the group leader selection event will be held early. Please nominate a group leader.

Group leader!

Li Hao froze for a moment. He had not expected the group leader selection to happen ahead of schedule.

After a brief moment of thought, everyone quickly reached a decision.

Invincible Urchin Gu Santong: "There's no one in this group I respect except Great Immortal. The position of group leader belongs to none but Great Immortal."

Li Xunhuan: "Li shares the same opinion."

Little Yan Lingji: "Wah wah wah, Brother Li is a good person. He wants to help me defy fate and change my destiny. I like Brother Li the most. I choose Brother Li as the group leader."

The Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader shook his head slightly. What else could he say?

Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader: "Great Immortal, your powers are boundless. I, Moon-Worshipping, am utterly convinced."

Little Dragon Maiden: "I have no objections either."

Little Dragon Maiden had never been one for talking, much less someone who liked meddling in affairs. Naturally, she had no interest in competing for the position of group leader.

Of course, they had not chosen Li Hao because of the so-called omniscience and omnipotence in his name. Anyone with even a little intelligence would not believe such a cheap trick.

It was like the tale of the spear and shield—full of contradictions from the start.

They chose Li Hao solely because his performance had been far too unfathomable.

While Li Hao was still dazed, the ethereal voice of the Dao rang out in his mind once more: "Omniscient Li has received a unanimous vote. Congratulations, you have become the group leader of this group. Group leader privileges unlocked. Group leader permissions unlocked."

It worked!?

Li Hao blinked somewhat blankly, his heart brimming with excitement.

He silently asked, "What are group leader privileges and group leader permissions?"

The ethereal voice of the Dao replied, "Group leader privileges primarily allow you to access certain group functions before they are unlocked. For details, please consult the Chat Group Operation Code. Group leader permissions allow you to block relevant members within the group from perceiving the Heavens Chat Group. For other operational details, please consult the Chat Group Operation Code."

Li Hao's expression shifted slightly, and excitement welled up inside him.

Wasn't this basically being an admin with power?

Blocking group members from perceiving the chat group might not be quite the same as kicking them out directly, but there was not much difference, was there?

Hahaha, if anyone dared defy him in the future, he would let them know the might of an admin with power.

Li Hao felt utterly pleased with himself, as though he could already see all the group members reaching the pinnacle of life under his tyrannical rule—pah, under his wise leadership.

"Check the Chat Group Operation Code. Search group leader privileges."

Li Hao gave the command silently, and a flood of information immediately appeared in his mind.

Exclusive Group Leader Privilege: Great Dao Furnace. It may deduce skills such as divine abilities and cultivation techniques to a higher grade, with a certain chance of failure. The higher the grade of the divine ability or cultivation technique, the greater the chance that enhancement will fail. Failure carries no penalty, and the original technique will not be damaged.

This privilege may be activated once for free each month. Each activation may deduce up to three divine abilities or cultivation techniques. Points may also be spent to enhance skills.
