Newcomers Join the Group

From then on, for quite a long time, Su Lin developed the good habit of saving up.

Why pull? Better to work honestly and earn it.

A few days later, Su Lin sat in Wangshu Pavilion with one leg crossed over the other, studying spells and occasionally checking what was happening in the group.

The chat group was especially lively today, even though it was the middle of the night.

Xiao Yan: "Listen, young man. A harem—a harem is the true path, understand? Who cares about routes or futures? Joining the chat group is all about changing the future! In the past, you could only choose one. Take Brother Xiao's advice and take them all."

Shirou Emiya: "No. Weren't we just talking about finding a way to purify the Holy Grail?"

Xiao Yan: "That's why I'm telling you, a harem! Do you understand the value of a Happy End?!"

Xiao Yan: "Actually, why not take the hidden route? I rather like it when Xun'er calls me Brother Xiao Yan. Hehehe."

Shirou Emiya: "What hidden route?"

Xiao Yan: "That little girl named Illya."

That was far too criminal.

Ye Fan: "Brother Xiao Yan, how have you been these past few years? Xun'er is at Jia Nan Academy. I really, really want to chop you to death~."

Luffy: "What's a harem? Is it tasty?"

Su Lin: "In a sense, it's very tasty."

Shirou Emiya: ".."

Shirou Emiya was making breakfast at home when he turned to glance at Saber.

He would get chopped to death, wouldn't he?

If he had not joined this chat group, would he have gone down that route?

"Shirou?" Saber noticed Shirou Emiya's gaze.

"Ah, it's nothing."

Shirou Emiya turned back and continued making breakfast.

He had joined the chat group on the night before last in this world. After Lancer pierced his heart with a single spear thrust, Rin Tohsaka saved him. He had returned home in a daze and intended to figure out what the chat group appearing in his field of vision was, only to be dragged into a magecraft ritual called the Holy Grail War.

There were group members from various worlds, and his own world and experiences had been turned into manga in other worlds. Apparently, there were anime and games too.

Thanks to this chat group, Shirou Emiya had learned about his future in advance.

After learning the causes behind everything and his future, Shirou Emiya felt anger and unwillingness. He wished he could immediately save his junior, end the Holy Grail War, and save his adoptive father's biological daughter.

But his abilities were limited. Even if he knew that his parallel-world selves could grow stronger, he was currently nothing more than a novice magus.

Not to mention that a future version of himself had been keeping watch over him from Rin's side.

Still, he was not overly worried.

Although only two days had passed in this world, every day he traveled to other worlds to train for a full three months before returning.

Everyone was kind and willing to help him train.

They were just a little improper.

Xiao Yan: "@Ye Fan Brother, I was joking. Don't tell Xun'er I said any of that."

Ye Fan: "Pah."

Ye Fan: "Other than Xu Xian, you're the second man I, Ye Fan, admire. Do you dare act but not own up to it?"

Xiao Yan: "None of it has even happened yet. What right do you have to slander my innocence?!"

Ye Fan: "Before you joined the group, I personally saw you getting handsy with Xiao Yi Xian and Yun Yun in the novel."

Xiao Yan: "Can that be called getting handsy?! That... that was just a coincidence. Yes, a coincidence. Novels don't count! The current me is wholeheartedly devoted to Xun'er!"

Su Lin: "What about adorable Xiao Xiao? Are you abandoning such a cute daughter?"

Ye Fan: "Unworthy of being a father!"

Xiao Yan: "I have something to do. I'm logging off first."

In a corner of the future, within the Endless Fire Domain.

Xiao Yan, who had become the Great Ruler, was watching over a pill furnace while chatting leisurely with his wife.

Suddenly, he sensed a slight disturbance in the river of time concerning his past self.

"Huh?" What memory was this? Had the timeline branched?

Within the chat group, Xiao Yan, who had stirred up trouble, retreated in defeat and logged off amid the verbal condemnation.

Han Li: "Don't listen to Xiao Yan's nonsense. You should prioritize caution. Even with the chat group's help, your foundations in all aspects are weak. Finding ways to improve your strength is the most urgent matter."

"Ye, why are you smiling so lewdly?"

Pang Bo scratched his head in confusion.

"My wholesaler will be able to supply goods soon. When the time comes, I'll take you along to get rich. Hehehe."

"You mean that red-haired Japanese kid you brought over before?"

Previously, Ye Fan had brought over a Japanese man named Shirou Emiya from somewhere and kept him by his side to cultivate for three months.

He had not seen him yesterday, and Ye Fan said he had gone back.

How should he put it? Both his cultivation methods and other aspects about him felt rather strange.

"I'll be leaving for a while. When the time comes, you and Black Emperor can just..."

Pang Bo nodded without asking why. He trusted Ye Fan unconditionally.

A notification suddenly appeared in the Heavens Chat Group's group announcement.

[Chat Group Notification: Lu Mingfei has joined the chat group, Zhongli has joined the chat group, Klein Moretti has joined the chat group]

Su Lin paused slightly, set down the jade in his hand, and looked at the chat group notification.

After six months, new members had finally joined again.

To him, the newcomers could actually be considered "acquaintances."

Su Lin occasionally wondered whether he might encounter characters he did not know.

After all, the worlds were so vast.

Perhaps someday, he would meet someone who entered the group pretending to be a Soothsayer.

It sounded rather interesting when he thought about it.

Zhongli: "How wondrous. I never imagined such a curious artifact existed."

Lu Mingfei: "A chat group? It wasn't made by Penguin, was it?"

Klein hurried into the washroom and returned above the Gray Fog to divine. Only after confirming that he had not been contaminated by some evil god did he dare speak. At first, he thought he was hallucinating.

Klein: "That Penguin you mentioned... does he make you pay?"

Lu Mingfei: "The kind that keeps asking whether you want to buy some Q Coins."

Klein: "I understand."

Su Lin: "I understand too."

Ye Fan: "Those who understand, understand."

Xiao Yan: "So many victims. Sob, sob, sob."

Zhongli: "Penguin? Q Coins? What are those?"

Luffy: "Are they tasty?"

Su Lin uploaded "Dragon Raja," "Lord of Mysteries," and "Genshin Impact Setting Collection."

For the contents of Lord of Mysteries, Su Lin deleted and redacted certain portions. It took him three hours from start to finish, and after checking it several times over, he sent it to the group.

He also told Klein to read it above the Gray Fog to prevent any oversights. If he saw anything he should not see, he was to erase his memories before leaving the Gray Fog.

Two days after Su Lin uploaded the relevant novels and game settings to the chat group.

Everyone had finished reading the content related to their own paths.

Lu Mingfei: "I don't want to play anymore. Screw it. For my next wish, I might as well have Lu Mingze destroy the world."

Klein: "I want to take a vacation. If it's like what this book says, wouldn't I have it worse than a 007 work schedule?"

Xiao Yan: "A life with an extremely high Meng content."

Zhongli: "A splendid yet perilous world. I offer my respect to your future—the pioneer walking the road ahead."

Zhongli took a sip of tea in reality before continuing to browse through the others' stories.

This was more interesting than today's opera.

As for his own story, there was no need to pay attention to that pile of game settings. He could simply try this "mobile game" they spoke of for himself later.

Shirou Emiya: "The world depicted in Dragon Raja is not very friendly to God Almighty."

After finishing the Dragon Raja novel, Shirou Emiya felt an inexplicable sense of frustration in his heart.

Lu Mingfei: "I watched videos of the FSN game. In a sense, you with dozens of BEs aren't doing much better."

Shirou Emiya: "?"

Lu Mingfei: "You're no better off either."

Shirou Emiya nearly choked while eating.

Was it really that bad? Those three routes were only part of the future.

Cold sweat slowly ran down his forehead.
