"Ping! Welcome to the chat group!" "Ping! You have automatically become a group administrator!" "Ping! Welcome 'Great Han Loyalist Who Gathered Troops with a Forged Edict' to the chat group!" "Ping! Welcome 'Mount Hua Gentleman Sword Famous Throughout the Martial World' to the chat group!" "Ping! Welcome 'Demon God Descendant Who Returned to Ordinary Life' to the chat group!" "Ping! Welcome 'Novice Cultivator Just Starting Out' to the chat group!"

Lu Qingshan, who had just become a god, abruptly opened his eyes, lightning flashing within them.

"A chat group?"

Lu Qingshan's expression was rather strange. "Is this my cheat? But even for a cheat, you came far too late!"

Ever since he had transmigrated here, this cheat had been sitting in his mind.

Yet more than eight million years had already passed, and only now had it finally activated?

Thinking back to all the efforts he had made to break through to the immortal level—his repeated narrow escapes on the extraterritorial battlefield, his diligent work at the Yan Feng branch, his desperate battles for resources and wealth...

Remembering everything he had done in the past, Lu Qingshan felt a tightness in his chest.

He had finally broken through and become immortal, ready to lie flat and live as a salted fish, yet this cheat had suddenly arrived!

As everyone knew, in Swallowed Star, the World Master level was one of the most important stages on the path of cultivation.

At the World Master level, one could comprehend the universe's origin laws at an extremely rapid pace.

For that reason, although many geniuses in the universe clearly had the ability to fully comprehend a lower origin law and become immortal, they refused to take that final step. Their goal was to comprehend the more difficult upper origin laws while still at the World Master level!

But now, Lu Qingshan had just become an ordinary immortal, and this cheat had arrived?

Either don't come at all, or come earlier—even a few hundred years earlier would have been fine!

Yet this cheat had appeared at such a moment. It was truly infuriating!

The feeling was probably like Lu Qingshan giving his all during the college entrance examination and barely reaching the undergraduate admission cutoff, only for someone to hand him the answer sheet after the exam was over.

Thinking of this, Lu Qingshan's feelings became even more complicated.

Still, no matter what, it was better for the cheat to arrive than not arrive at all!

With those complicated feelings, Lu Qingshan quickly began observing the other members of the chat group.

Among them, "Mount Hua Gentleman Sword Famous Throughout the Martial World" was the easiest to identify. It was definitely Yue Buqun from The Smiling, Proud Wanderer.

As for "Great Han Loyalist Who Gathered Troops with a Forged Edict," Lu Qingshan had a guess as well. It should be Cao Cao from the Three Kingdoms era, though he was not entirely certain. After all, Cao Cao had once "held the Emperor hostage to command the feudal lords," so it was hard to call him a loyalist of Great Han.

As for the other two, "Demon God Descendant Who Returned to Ordinary Life" and "Novice Cultivator Just Starting Out," Lu Qingshan could not figure them out at all.

After all, whether it was a demon god descendant or a novice cultivator, neither provided enough information.

"I've already become a god. At the very least, you should have pulled in a few people around my level, people who could help improve my strength!"

Lu Qingshan thought to himself, The Smiling, Proud Wanderer is a martial arts world, so it definitely won't be of any help to me. If that 'Great Han Loyalist Who Gathered Troops with a Forged Edict' really is Cao Cao, he definitely won't be of any help either! As for the demon god descendant, he has already returned to ordinary life, while the novice cultivator is only just starting out. I'm afraid neither of them can offer me much help!

Thinking of this, Lu Qingshan felt depressed again.

However, since this cheat was a chat group, new members would naturally be able to join in the future, so Lu Qingshan was not too disappointed.

Soon afterward, Lu Qingshan turned his attention to the chat group interface in his mind.

Of the five people who had entered the group this time, whether Yue Buqun, the Great Han loyalist, the demon god descendant, or the novice cultivator, none of them should understand this chat group.

"Since everyone has been brought together through this chat group, it must be fate!"

Lu Qingshan thought to himself, In that case, I should greet everyone first! If they're easy to get along with, I can help them out in the future!

With that thought, Lu Qingshan immediately greeted everyone in the chat group...

[Ordinary Immortal God: Hello, everyone.JPG]

Within the allied army camp, after Cao Cao discovered that no one else in the camp had heard the voice in his mind, he quietly regained his composure.

But when he saw what Lu Qingshan had said in the chat group, his expression froze slightly again.

"Immortal? God?"

Cao Cao paid no attention at all to the "Ordinary" prefix. Instead, he focused directly on the words "Immortal God."

Whether "immortal" or "god," both were things countless people of Huaxia longed for. Yet now, they had suddenly appeared in his mind. What exactly was going on?

Filled with doubt, Cao Cao immediately decided to stay put and watch how things unfolded.

"Well..."

Seeing his own name, Lu Qingshan could not help but complain inwardly. It's not as though I don't know I'm just an ordinary immortal. Does the chat group really need to remind me of that?

An ordinary immortal like me might be nothing in the Swallowed Star world, but in this chat group, they'll have to call me a great god!

With that thought, Lu Qingshan willed it, quickly following the chat group's instructions to change his name to Lu Qingshan.

Just then...

[Demon God Descendant Who Returned to Ordinary Life: "Who are you? Were you the one who got us stuck in this damn place?"]

[Demon God Descendant Who Returned to Ordinary Life: "Damn it! What kind of name is this? Since when did a perfectly normal person like me become a demon god descendant?"]

Seeing this, Lu Qingshan's thoughts stirred. Knowing that this demon god descendant was straightforward and blunt, he immediately planned to draw out more information.

[Lu Qingshan: Hello! I only just joined this chat group too. I didn't know you before this, so how could I have gotten you trapped in some damn place?]

[Lu Qingshan: Did you run into some trouble? Why not tell me about it? Maybe I can help.]

[Demon God Descendant Who Returned to Ordinary Life: I was climbing Mount Tai with a group of classmates when nine divine dragons descended from the sky, pulling a Bronze Ancient Coffin behind them. Now we're all trapped inside that Bronze Ancient Coffin. Do you know how we can get out?]

"Bronze Ancient Coffin?"

Lu Qingshan was slightly stunned. "The Shrouding the Heavens world! A demon god descendant? Then he should be Pang Bo!"

[Lu Qingshan: Are you Pang Bo?]

[Demon God Descendant Who Returned to Ordinary Life: How do you know my name? Did you know me before?]

Hearing this, countless thoughts flashed through Lu Qingshan's mind.

He knew the plot of Shrouding the Heavens well, so he could naturally guess Pang Bo's identity.

But what should he do next?

Should he tell Pang Bo about his future experiences in the Shrouding the Heavens world?

How much should he tell him? Only part of it, or everything?

Should he use that knowledge of the plot to exchange for things with the group members, or should he speak frankly with them?

Very quickly, Lu Qingshan had his answer.

[Lu Qingshan: It's a long story, and definitely not something I can explain in just a few words!]

[Lu Qingshan: How about this, Pang Bo? Change your name first, and we can talk in detail later. To change your name, just will it and follow the chat group's prompts!]

[Lu Qingshan: And the other three friends, you've been lurking for so long. Change your names and come say hello! @Great Han Loyalist Who Gathered Troops with a Forged Edict, @Mount Hua Gentleman Sword Famous Throughout the Martial World, @Novice Cultivator Just Starting Out.]

Yes, after thinking it over, Lu Qingshan had still decided to have an open and honest talk with the group members.

After all, his talent and comprehension were simply too ordinary. Especially after breaking through to become immortal, it would be even harder for him to continue growing stronger.

His current strength was indeed somewhat greater than theirs, but their future rate of progress might far surpass his own.

Take Pang Bo from the Shrouding the Heavens world, for example. He would likely need only a few hundred years to become a Great Sage. Would Lu Qingshan still have to rely on his knowledge of the plot to deceive and swindle people then?

Lies were hollow; sincerity was the ultimate weapon. Thus, Lu Qingshan ultimately decided to speak openly with the group members.

Since that was the case, he might as well have everyone change their names directly.

As long as he knew their names, there was a high chance he would be able to guess their identities.

[Pang Bo: I've changed it!]

Inside the allied army's main tent.

Cao Cao stared intently at the chat records on the chat group interface in his mind.

Although he still did not understand what exactly was happening, this chat group completely surpassed his understanding. If it wanted to harm him, it would be effortless.

Moreover, since Lu Qingshan had already put it that way, there was no reason for him to keep hiding.

With that thought, Cao Cao willed it.

[Cao Cao: I am Cao Cao, courtesy name Mengde. Greetings, everyone!]

In the world of The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, within the main hall of the Mount Hua Sect.

When Yue Buqun saw Cao Cao reveal his name, he was once again slightly stunned.

He had no idea what this chat group was, nor did he know Lu Qingshan or Pang Bo, but Cao Cao was certainly no stranger to him!

"Cao Cao?"

"Could he truly be that Great Han Chancellor from history? Emperor Wu of Wei?"

"If he really is Cao Cao, Emperor Wu of Wei, then what exactly is this chat group, to let me converse with an ancient man from over a thousand years ago?"

However, Yue Buqun also knew that now was not the time to ask such questions. Since Cao Cao had already introduced himself first, he naturally could not remain silent.

With that thought, Yue Buqun willed it and quickly sent his first message in the chat group.

[Yue Buqun: I am Yue Buqun of the Mount Hua Sect. Greetings, everyone!]

Yue Kingdom, Yellow Maple Valley.

"Ping! Welcome to the Myriad Worlds Chat Group!"

Upon hearing the prompt in his mind, Han Li immediately became vigilant.

He first warily observed his surroundings, but no one was approaching him.

"No one? Then what exactly is this voice in my mind?"

Han Li felt somewhat panicked, though his face remained calm. "I heard that cultivators above the Foundation Establishment realm can transmit messages through divine sense. Could some powerful senior be playing a joke on me?"

Thinking this, Han Li quickly looked around, then respectfully said, "May I ask which senior is joking with this junior? Please show yourself! If Senior has any instructions, this junior will certainly obey!"

But just then...

[Ordinary Immortal God: Hello, everyone.JPG]

Looking at the various chat records appearing in the so-called chat group in his mind, Han Li became increasingly confused and bewildered.

Whether it was the chat group itself or Lu Qingshan, Pang Bo, Cao Cao, and Yue Buqun of the Mount Hua Sect, he knew none of them.

But now that the others were already speaking in the chat group, he naturally could not continue remaining silent.

"No matter what is going on, I should greet these seniors first!"

With that thought, Han Li immediately followed the chat group's instructions to change his name, then greeted everyone.

[Li Feiyu: This junior is Li Feiyu. Greetings, seniors!]
