Meng Chuan: I was careless. I didn't dodge.
Meng Chuan: He reached for my right pocket with his left hand, but that was fine. He said it himself, right there in the group chat, that he wasn't after my points.
Meng Chuan: Tears streamed down my face right then.
Meng Chuan: I said, Little Yuanshi, you've got no martial honor, understand? He hurriedly said sorry, sorry, he didn't know the rules, he didn't know newbies weren't supposed to hold their hands out to the big shots.
Meng Chuan: It wasn't that he didn't know the rules! He was a master of snide remarks and reaction memes. Later, he said he and Daigu had bought a copy of A Few Things Every Man Must Know How to Say and practiced together. Looks like they came prepared.
Meng Chuan: These two young men and two old folks have no martial honor!
Meng Chuan: They came to deceive! They came! To steal points!
Meng Chuan: From an old Great Emperor of fifteen hundred years! Is that good? No, it isn't!
Meng Chuan: I advise this Little Yuanshi to behave himself, reflect properly, and never try this sort of petty cleverness again.
Meng Chuan: Our Chat Group should prize harmony and uphold martial honor, not fight among ourselves.
Meng Chuan: Thank you, group friends!
Meng Qi: @Meng Chuan, brilliant.
Meng Qi: Did I transmigrate too early?
Zhang Sanfeng: An old Great Emperor of fifteen hundred years...
Daigu Madoka: Aging Great Emperor.JPG
Ancient One: I've recently seen these sayings of yours in the multiverse, Great Emperor. They're extremely popular, circulating throughout the entire multiverse!
Meng Chuan: Just swinging an axe at Master Ma's door. Forgive my clumsy performance.
System notification: Administrator Meng Chuan paid ten thousand points to unlock the Group Livestream feature early.
Ten thousand points was no small sum, but it was still within Meng Chuan's means. Besides, nothing he could currently afford was useful to him. When things he couldn't afford appeared later, he would still have to rely on free red envelopes to get them for nothing.
Meng Chuan felt spending these ten thousand points to unlock a feature was worth it.
Meng Qi: Praise the Great Emperor!
Meng Qi: Praise the Great Emperor!
Meng Qi: Praise the Great Emperor!
Zhang Sanfeng: What are we supposed to say, then? You stole the whole formation. Young man, I advise you to behave yourself!
Daigu Madoka: Young people have no group virtue!
Meng Chuan laughed aloud. These goofy group friends learned fast. But did every chat group ultimately head down the path of becoming a bunch of idiots...?
Who knew who had started this unhealthy trend!
They explored the Group Livestream feature together. Meng Chuan found that it was broadly similar to livestreams from his past life. However, when a group member started streaming—Daigu, for example—the others could choose either Daigu's perspective or a God's-Eye View.
In other words, first person or third person!
System notification: Administrator Meng Chuan started a Group Livestream.
Meng Qi: The elderly Great Emperor has no martial honor! He secretly stole a march on us and started streaming first!
System notification: Administrator Meng Chuan was the first to use Group Livestream and has been awarded one hundred points.
Zhang Sanfeng: I, the Daoist, have something to say.
Meng Chuan hadn't expected a points reward for being the first to use the livestream feature, either. It was only a hundred points, but for a certain True Person, that was no small sum...
Meng Qi would have an endless supply of secret manuals in the future. As for the Six Paths of Reincarnation's rule that techniques he redeemed and learned couldn't be disclosed, it could take that argument up with the Chat Group!
Daigu had all the technology of the Super Ancient Civilization. Apparently, while Meng Chuan was offline, Daigu had already developed a disposable, low-spec version of the Divine Light Stick...
Ancient One and Meng Chuan needed no further mention. Both were very well-off.
Meng Chuan: My apologies, True Person.
Meng Chuan: From now on, the group needs an assistance program for elderly people living alone! Let them feel the warmth of home in the Chat Group!
Meng Qi: Stop jabbering and get on with the stream, @Meng Chuan. Entertain me, and I'll tip you a copy of Arhat Fist!
Daigu Madoka: Uncle Meng is so generous!
Meng Chuan watched Meng Qi spout outrageous nonsense, unmoved. Hmph. A giant online, a little baldy in real life.
"Hello, hello, can you see me?" Meng Chuan called into empty space. Without even a camera, he had no idea where to look.
In four other worlds, Zhang Sanfeng and the others looked at Meng Chuan, who had suddenly appeared before them, feeling somewhat dazed. Were they finally meeting their online friend?
Meng Qi: That face of yours, Great Emperor, is actually kinda handsome, Xiao Shuai.
Zhang Sanfeng: Haven't you seen him before? Why only say that now?
Daigu Madoka: Throwing heavy punches through a screen, then turning meek and timid when you see the real person.
Ancient One: Bootlicker.
While Meng Chuan was streaming, Meng Qi and the others' group messages automatically turned into scrolling comments before his eyes. Meng Chuan tested it and found he could turn the comments off.
System notification: Administrator Meng Chuan sent Administrator Meng Qi a targeted red envelope.
Meng Qi: Ten-thousand-year-old Medicine King.JPG
Zhang Sanfeng: The Great Emperor has Xiao Shuai.
Ancient One: The Great Emperor has Xiao Shuai.
Daigu Madoka: The Great Emperor is incredibly handsome.
Meng Chuan ignored these flatterers. Would the reigning Great Emperor be someone who enjoyed flattery?
"Although I still haven't met you all in person, today is a happy day." Meng Chuan smiled ahead of him and said, "Today, I'll take you on a tour of this Shrouding the Heavens World!"
"I'm currently on the Big Dipper Ancient Star, in the Eastern Wasteland. I just left Jade Lake. Is there anywhere you'd like to see?"
Meng Qi: Go back to Jade Lake, Great Emperor. I want to see whether Jade Lake's waters are fair and white.
Zhang Sanfeng: Little Meng, you...
Daigu Madoka: Shameless!
Ancient One: ...
"Drive without care, and your loved ones will shed twin streams of tears. Certain viewers should behave themselves." Meng Chuan completely ignored Meng Qi's request. All day long, he dreamed of pie in the sky.
System notification: Administrator Meng Qi tipped one tael of broken silver. System notification: This tip has no value. No points will be charged.
Meng Chuan's expression darkened. Looking at the silver that appeared before him, he promptly muted Meng Qi in the Livestream Room.
An administrator couldn't use his permissions to undo a Livestream Room mute.
Daigu Madoka: Justice at last!
Ancient One: Just take us around for a look, Great Emperor.
Zhang Sanfeng: Indeed. I'd like to see this world as well.
Looking at the scrolling comments, Meng Chuan said, "All right. I'll first take you to see those holy land legacies and desolate ancient families."
"In the Northern Region of the Eastern Wilderness, besides Jade Lake, which I just visited, there's also the Jiang Family, a desolate ancient family descended from Emperor Hengyu."
Meng Chuan explained things to his viewers as he walked. Of course, although he called it walking, each step covered a thousand miles.
"Emperor Hengyu was also a rather formidable Great Emperor. He entered the Primordial Ancient Mine to forge his weapon, using phoenix blood red gold in an attempt to lure out the Undying Heavenly Emperor, who repeatedly underwent nirvana. That alone shows how confident Hengyu was in his own strength."
Zhang Sanfeng: That phoenix who lurks in the shadows, continually hunting ancient emperors and Great Emperors in their twilight years?
Daigu Madoka: Truly ruthless methods.
Meng Chuan nodded. "Meng Qi probably told you that a few people in the Shrouding the Heavens World continually defy heaven to keep living in the mortal world. The Undying Heavenly Emperor is one of them."
"He's hidden very deeply. Even with my current Heavenly Emperor level combat strength, I can't find him."
"Of course, as I am now, I wouldn't be his match, either." Meng Chuan frankly acknowledged this fact. The Undying Heavenly Emperor had already lived several lifetimes, so his combat strength naturally surpassed the Heavenly Emperor level. Meng Chuan was still only in his first lifetime.
In truth, if his innate dao embryo hadn't been enhanced, and if the demon god corpses Ancient One had given him hadn't provided some inspiration, he probably wouldn't have Heavenly Emperor level combat strength yet.
What sort of people possessed Heavenly Emperor level combat strength in the original story?
Duan De had survived since the Chaotic Ancient Era and was a friend of the Desolate Heaven Emperor. He had settled on his path to immortality countless years ago.
Emperor Zun was the last of the Nine Heavenly Venerables of the Mythological Era and the creator of Nine Secrets: Jie. Only after abandoning everything, living a new lifetime, and ascending once more to the position of Heavenly Venerable had he reached the Heavenly Emperor level.
The Undying Heavenly Emperor had an immortal phoenix true body and was a descendant of the Ten Fiends!
In her first lifetime, Ruthless first transformed into an imperfect chaos body. In her second, she created the Indestructible Heavenly Art and transformed into a flawless chaos body. Only then did she fully possess Heavenly Emperor level combat strength.
Wushi needed even less explanation. His innate sacred body dao embryo was in no way inferior to a chaos body or an immortal phoenix body.
Later, Ye Fan first broke the shackles that prevented sacred bodies from attaining the Dao. Then, while the Golden Crow Great Emperor still reigned, he pierced through the myriad Daos and defied heaven to become an emperor. Naturally, he was at the Heavenly Emperor level from the moment he attained emperorship.
Meng Chuan's original innate dao embryo wasn't weak, but once he reached Quasi-Emperor, it was essentially no help to him anymore. As for encountering an opportunity to lay a Heavenly Emperor foundation before becoming an emperor?
He should dream less and cultivate seriously. If such an opportunity really existed, had all those peerless talents throughout the eternal ages failed to obtain it just so it could be reserved for Meng Chuan?
Meng Chuan was a transmigrator, but before becoming an emperor, he hadn't even had a golden finger. Ye Fan at least had Ruthless behind him arranging a few things. When Meng Chuan transmigrated, he truly had started with nothing but an innate dao embryo. Everything else had depended on himself.
It was nothing like now, when his golden finger had arrived and he had made such enormous progress in just a few hundred years.
Sure enough, the principle proven by countless predecessors was absolutely correct.
To defeat cheaters, you had to become an even bigger cheater than they were!
