"Shi Tianwu, congratulations."
After Bai Wunan finished his last sentence, he turned into fragments of a powerhouse and vanished from this world.
After waiting for five hundred thousand years, it had all ultimately ended with Bai Wunan giving up.
"Thank you," Shi Tianwu said to Bai Wunan, who had already vanished.
Bai Wunan's surrender had handed Shi Tianwu the final victory.
The wind and waves were calm. There was no earth-shaking spectacle, no world-destroying scene. This was the result of Shi Tianwu attaining complete power.
Shi Tianwu quietly surveyed his surroundings, feeling neither joy nor sorrow.
The only thing he could feel at that moment was... loneliness.
Shi Tianwu had become a "god."
He now had complete control over time.
Shi Tianwu stood atop the river of time.
He could return to the past and search through any time or space for anything that could bring him happiness. He possessed the power to open and create new universes, manufacture life, and build a world he considered perfect... Terabit Stars and galactic structures surrounded him. Everything in existence awaited Shi Tianwu's commands.
Shi Tianwu could do whatever he wished.
Yet the ultimate Martial God remained unmoved.
He stood there quietly... for a day, ten days, three years, seven years, ten years... thinking.
[Beep...]
[You have been invited to join the Spend the Rest of Life Chat Group. Accept?]
"Hm?"
"..."
A voice suddenly rang out in Shi Tianwu's mind, leaving him somewhat puzzled.
"This is actually a message from outside my world..."
With only a little probing, the ultimate Shi Tianwu had already figured out the "nature" of the [Chat Group].
"Join."
Shi Tianwu accepted.
The [Chat Group] posed no threat to Shi Tianwu. Instead, it stirred his curiosity.
Shi Tianwu had grown curious about the other worlds beyond his own.
Shi Tianwu gave his left arm a slight lift. Then absolute power appeared—Selfless Power.
A hundred galaxies and stars merged together at Shi Tianwu's slightest movement.
He gave his right hand a slight lift as well.
Another hundred galaxies and stars merged into one.
Shi Tianwu transformed two hundred galaxies into a Boundless Earth, a vast domain spanning a hundred billion.
The appearance of the new land prompted the great beings in Shi Tianwu's universe to react, intentionally or otherwise. The infinite Primordial Spirit within Shi Tianwu couldn't help but give rise to new life in this domain.
These lives were born without much thought, guided only by instinct.
Mice, birds, fish, grass, trees... animals and plants. They looked upon the "god," Shi Tianwu, the one and only Martial God.
[Shi Tianwu has obtained group administrator privileges]
[Shi Tianwu is now a Chat Group administrator]
As Shi Tianwu walked across the Boundless Earth, the animals that had come into being followed behind him.
Lu Bian: [Huh?]
Shi Tianwu: [Friend, you seem surprised?]
Lu Bian: [Friend, could you introduce yourself?]
Shi Tianwu: [As you can see, my name is Shi Tianwu. When the Chat Group invited me, I understood that it lets people from other worlds chat with one another.]
Lu Bian: [Your name looks familiar, but I can't remember where I saw it.]
Lu Bian: [My instincts tell me you're an incredibly impressive person.]
Shi Tianwu: [Actually, I'm not. I'm not an impressive person. Let me give you a brief introduction...]
Shi Tianwu: [I'm the sixth prince of the Land of No Strife Kingdom.]
Shi Tianwu: [In my world, selfishness, greed, cruelty, murder, ambition, lust for power, twisted thoughts, and licentiousness have persisted among humanity for five hundred thousand years. We still haven't managed to rid ourselves of these terrible aspects of human nature.]
Shi Tianwu: [Civilization and chaos, reason and madness all coexist in the era I live in. Six kingdoms and more than a thousand tribes occupy the land, and not a single day has passed without war.]
Lu Bian: [Sounds like a pretty terrible place.]
Shi Tianwu and Lu Bian communicated by typing into the [Chat Group] chat box with their minds, which was why Lu Bian said "sounds."
The Chat Group's automatic functions could translate the languages and writing systems of different worlds, species, and civilizations, allowing all its members to understand the original meaning.
Lu Bian: [But you're a prince, so your living conditions should be pretty good, right?]
Shi Tianwu: [I'm traveling to look for my older brother. He went alone to negotiate peace in order to stop another great kingdom from going to war with ours. He's been missing for three years now.]
Lu Bian: [Your brother sounds like a peerless badass, daring to go alone.]
Sorry for deceiving the Chat Group's host, Lu Bian, Shi Tianwu silently apologized.
He worried that if he honestly explained his real situation at that very moment, their conversation might lead to some unnecessary "little troubles."
The worst possible outcome—being removed from the group chat—was something Shi Tianwu did not want.
Shi Tianwu: [Let's talk about you, group host.]
Lu Bian: [Me? As you can see, my name explains my life.]
Lu Bian: [Where I used to live, I was an outsider. An outsider in society, an outsider in my family. If I disappeared from the world, it might actually ease the burden on society and my family.]
Shi Tianwu: [You said where you used to live. Where are you living now?]
Lu Bian: [I just transmigrated.]
Lu Bian: [I don't know where I am now. Somewhere deep in the mountains and forests, I guess? I just transmigrated yesterday, and I'm living like a wild man. I'll take a picture for you.]
Lu Bian: [I don't know where this is.JPG]
Lu Bian: [By the way, how did you become a group administrator?]
Shi Tianwu: [Maybe because I was the second person to join the group, I automatically got administrator status.]
Shi Tianwu: [Group host, why are you the host?]
Lu Bian: [I made the group, so naturally I'm the host.]
Shi Tianwu: [Group host, have you looked into the Chat Group's functions?]
Shi Tianwu: [There's nothing like a Chat Group in my world, so I'd like to try out all its functions.]
Shi Tianwu: [What are red packets?]
Lu Bian: [Red packets? Let me explain.]
Lu Bian: [Red packets are a custom in my world. During holidays and festivals, people put money in red envelopes and give them to family and friends as a blessing. The online red packets in our Chat Group work the same way: you put a little money in one for another member to cheer them up.]
Shi Tianwu: [I see.]
[Shi Tianwu sent Lu Bian a red packet]
Shi Tianwu: [I tried it. You really can only put money in.]
Lu Bian: [So the main function of our Chat Group is still chatting. These extra functions all have strange restrictions. For example, you can only put money in a red packet.]
[Lu Bian claimed Shi Tianwu's red packet]
Lu Bian: [Brother Tianwu, you're really rich.]
Lu Bian looked at the three gleaming gold coins in his hand.
They had magically appeared in his hand after he claimed Shi Tianwu's red packet.
