Meng Qi had been offline for so long that he had reached the point in the original plot where he could begin planning his ascent to the Other Shore.
At this stage, three years was more than enough time for Meng Qi to attain the Other Shore. He would not need nearly that long.
And the moment Meng Qi emerged from seclusion, he had rushed online to seek out Meng Chuan. Without a doubt, he had come to show off.
Unfortunately, he had miscalculated.
Meng Qi had been offline when Meng Chuan reconnected to the chat during the Sacred Ruins Era, so naturally he knew nothing of Meng Chuan's progress.
Meng Qi had assumed Meng Chuan was still Level 299. Now that he had emerged from seclusion at Level 299 himself, would that not put them on equal footing?
Let's see who dared raise their voice at him now!
Unfortunately, reality always dealt Meng Qi a merciless beating. Not only had Meng Chuan advanced, everyone else in the group had made enormous gains too, each breaking through to a new major realm.
Fresh out of seclusion, Meng Qi stared in a daze. What was going on? When had the game updated?
Had he missed out on the buffs from the new version?
He was too young and naive.
In truth, Meng Qi's little "scheme" had never stood a chance.
Brother Meng was still Brother Meng. How could Meng Qi surpass him so easily?
That would remain true even after Meng Qi attained the Other Shore, as he soon would. He could neither surpass Meng Chuan nor even draw level with him.
An ordinary Other Shore Being was no match for Meng Chuan. The gap was vast.
For Meng Chuan, killing an Other Shore Being would be much easier than killing
