Meng Chuan: I let my guard down. I didn't dodge.

Meng Chuan: He reached for my right pocket with his left hand, but that was fine. He'd said it himself in the Chat Group: he wasn't after my points.

Meng Chuan: Tears sprang to my eyes right then.

Meng Chuan: I said, Little Yuanshi, you have no martial virtue, you know that? He hurried to apologize, saying he didn't know the rules. He didn't know a newbie couldn't hold out his hand to a big shot.

Meng Chuan: As if he didn't know the rules! He used snide remarks and reaction images like a seasoned pro. Later, he said he and Daigu had bought a book of things every man must know how to say and practiced together. Clearly, they'd come prepared.

Meng Chuan: Those two young men and those two elders had no martial virtue!

Meng Chuan: They came to cheat! They came to snatch my points!

Meng Chuan: I'm a fifteen-hundred-year-old Great Emperor. Is this right? This is not right!

Meng Chuan: I advise Little Yuanshi to behave himself and reflect on this. Don't pull such petty tricks again.

Meng Chuan: Harmony comes first in the Chat Group. We must have martial virtue, not fight among ourselves.

Meng Chuan: Thank you, fellow group members!

Meng Qi: @Meng Chuan, brilliant.

Meng Qi: Did I transmigrate too early?

Zhang Sanfeng: A fifteen-hundred-year-old Great Emperor...

Daigu Madoka: Great Emperor growing old.JPG

The Ancient One: I've recently come across those sayings of yours throughout the Multiverse, Great Emperor. They're wildly popular everywhere!

Meng Chuan: Showing off my axe before the master carpenter. Pardon my poor performance.

System Notice: Administrator Meng Chuan paid 10,000 points to unlock Group Livestream 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 something he couldn't afford appeared later, he would still have to rely on getting it free through red packets.

Meng Chuan felt that spending ten thousand points to unlock this one 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 the rest of us supposed to say now? You stole the formation! Young man, I advise you to behave yourself!

Daigu Madoka: Young people have no group virtue!

Meng Chuan burst out laughing. His ridiculous groupmates learned fast. Still, was every Chat Group destined to turn into a den of fools...?

Who had started this terrible trend, anyway?

After the group explored the Group Livestream feature, Meng Chuan found that it was broadly similar to livestreaming in his previous life. But when a group member went live—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 Notice: Administrator Meng Chuan started a Group Livestream.

Meng Qi: The elderly Great Emperor has no martial virtue! He secretly rushed to start the first stream!

System Notice: Administrator Meng Chuan was the first to use Group Livestream and received 100 points.

Zhang Sanfeng: I, the Daoist, have something to say.

Meng Chuan hadn't expected a reward for being first to use the feature. It was only a hundred points, but for a certain venerable Daoist, that was no small sum...

Meng Qi would have an endless supply of manuals in the future. As for the Six Paths of Reincarnation's rule against sharing techniques one had exchanged for and learned oneself, it could take its grievance up with the Chat Group!

Daigu had all the technology of the Super Ancient Civilization. While Meng Chuan had been offline, Daigu had reportedly already developed a disposable, low-end Divine Light Stick...

There was no need to say more about The Ancient One or Meng Chuan. Both were rich.

Meng Chuan: I'm sorry, Venerable Zhang.

Meng Chuan: From now on, the group needs a program to help elders who live alone! Let them feel the warmth of a family in the Chat Group!

Meng Qi: Stop yammering and start streaming, @Meng Chuan. If you entertain me, I'll tip you a copy of Arhat Fist!

Daigu Madoka: Grandpa Meng, how generous!

Meng Chuan remained unmoved by Meng Qi's big talk. Hmph. A giant online, a Little Baldy in real life.

"Hello, hello, can you see me?" Meng Chuan called into the empty air. There wasn't even a camera; he had no idea where to look.

In four other worlds, Zhang Sanfeng and the others watched Meng Chuan suddenly appear before them. It felt almost unreal. Had they finally met their online friend?

Meng Qi: That face of yours, Great Emperor... kind of handsome.

Zhang Sanfeng: Haven't you seen him before? Why only say it now?

Daigu Madoka: Throwing heavy punches through a screen, then turning meek before the man himself.

The Ancient One: Flattery.

Once Meng Chuan started streaming, Meng Qi and the others' messages in the group automatically appeared before his eyes as scrolling comments. He tried it and found he could turn them off.

System Notice: Administrator Meng Chuan sent Administrator Meng Qi a designated red packet.

Meng Qi: Ten-thousand-year-old medicinal king.JPG

Zhang Sanfeng: The Great Emperor has it. Somewhat handsome.

The Ancient One: The Great Emperor has it. Somewhat handsome.

Daigu Madoka: The Great Emperor has it. Very handsome.

Meng Chuan ignored the flatterers. Would a Great Emperor of the present age be someone who enjoyed flattery?

"We still haven't met in person, but today is a happy day all the same." Meng Chuan smiled ahead of him. "Today, I'll show you the Shrouding the Heavens World!"

"I'm on the Big Dipper Ancient Star, in the Eastern Wasteland, and I've 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 the water there is pale and fair.

Zhang Sanfeng: Little Meng, you...

Daigu Madoka: Shameless!

The Ancient One: ...

"Drive recklessly, and your loved ones will weep. Certain viewers should behave themselves." Meng Chuan ignored Meng Qi's request. The man could keep dreaming.

System Notice: Administrator Meng Qi tipped one tael of silver fragments.

System Notice: This tip has no value. No points will be charged.

Meng Chuan's face darkened. He looked at the silver that had appeared before him and promptly muted Meng Qi in the Livestream Room.

Even an administrator could not use his privileges to undo a Livestream Room mute.

Daigu Madoka: What a delight!

The Ancient One: Just show us around, Great Emperor.

Zhang Sanfeng: Indeed. I'd like to see this world too.

Meng Chuan read the comments and said, "All right. I'll start by taking you to see some Holy Land Legacies and Desolate Ancient Families."

"In the Northern Region of the Eastern Wilderness, besides Jade Lake, where I just went, there's also the Jiang Family, a Desolate Ancient Family descended from Emperor Hengyu."

Meng Chuan explained a few things to his viewers as he walked. Of course, though he called it walking, each step carried him a thousand miles.

"Emperor Hengyu was quite a forceful Great Emperor. He entered the Primordial Ancient Mine to forge his weapon and used Phoenix Blood Red Gold as bait, hoping to lure out the Undying Heavenly Sovereign, who was constantly undergoing nirvana. That alone showed how confident Hengyu was in his own strength."

Zhang Sanfeng: The one who hides in the shadows and keeps hunting ancient emperors in their later years? Your phoenix, Great Emperor?

Daigu Madoka: His methods are ruthless.

Meng Chuan nodded. "Meng Qi should have told you that several people in the Shrouding the Heavens World have defied heaven and lived on through the Mortal World. The Undying Heavenly Emperor is one of them."

"He's hidden himself so deeply that even with Heavenly Emperor level combat power, I can't find him."

"Of course, I wouldn't be his match right now, either." Meng Chuan acknowledged the fact readily. The Undying Heavenly Sovereign had already lived several lifetimes, so his combat power naturally exceeded the Heavenly Emperor level. Meng Chuan was still in his first life.

In fact, if his Innate Dao Embryo had not been strengthened, and if the corpses of those demon gods The Ancient One had given him had not provided him with certain insights, he probably would not yet possess Heavenly Emperor-level combat power.

What sort of people had possessed Heavenly Emperor level combat power in the original story?

Duan De had survived since the Chaotic Ancient Era. He was a friend of the Desolate Heaven Emperor and had settled on his Path to Immortality ages ago.

Emperor Zun was the last of the Nine Heavenly Venerables of the Mythological Era and the creator of Nine Secrets: Jie. Only after casting everything aside, living a new life, and reclaiming his position as a Heavenly Venerable did he reach the Heavenly Emperor level.

The Undying Heavenly Emperor had the true body of an Immortal Phoenix and was a descendant of the Ten Fiends!

In her first life, Ruthless 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 gain Heavenly Emperor level combat power.

Wushi went without saying. His Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo was certainly no weaker than a Chaos Body or an Immortal Phoenix Body.

Later, Ye Fan first broke the shackles that prevented a Sacred Body from attaining the Dao. Then, while the Golden Crow Great Emperor still reigned, he used Piercing Through the Myriad Daos to defy heaven and become an emperor. Naturally, the moment he became an emperor, he was already at the Heavenly Emperor level.

Meng Chuan's Innate Dao Embryo had not been weak, but by the time he reached the Quasi-Emperor realm, it had essentially stopped helping him. As for some miraculous opportunity that would lay the foundations of a Heavenly Emperor before he even became an emperor?

Dream on. Cultivate properly. If such an opportunity really existed, why would it be saved especially for Meng Chuan when so many peerless Heroes throughout the ages had failed to obtain it?

Meng Chuan was a transmigrator, but he hadn't even had a cheat before becoming an emperor. Ye Fan at least had Ruthless making arrangements for him behind the scenes. When Meng Chuan transmigrated, he had started with an Innate Dao Embryo and nothing else. Everything afterward had depended on him.

Things were different now. His Golden Finger had finally arrived, and in a few hundred years he had made such enormous progress.

As expected, the principle countless predecessors had proven was absolutely right.

To defeat someone with a cheat, you had to become an even bigger cheat yourself!
