The world truly was unpredictable—one twist wrapped inside another.
The person he had thought least likely had turned out to be the mastermind. Pangu had hidden himself deep, delivering a twist just when another seemed impossible.
And if Pangu was the one behind the Villain Chat Group, the anomalies during the Ancestral Dragon and Ancestral Phoenix's Great Dao Tribulation could be explained.
They were Pangu's people. Even after his death, they had been willing to maintain the Land of Ten Thousand Gods and keep flying his banner. Clearly, they had not "betrayed" him.
It was only natural that they would still work for Pangu after countless years.
Pangu had even played a part in the Dragon-Phoenix Joint Strike Technique. The Ancestral Dragon and Ancestral Phoenix had not created it alone.
Their relationship with Pangu had to have been close.
If the Ancestral Dragon and Ancestral Phoenix's sudden arrival in Primordial Heaven after Meng Chuan appeared was attributed to the Villain Chat Group...
And if their ability to receive the same treatment as Meng Chuan during the Great Dao Tribulation was likewise attributed to the Villain Chat Group...
Then all the things that had seemed unreasonable back then made sense now that Meng Chuan knew more.
Of course, the Ancestral Dragon and Ancestral Phoenix's actions and anomalies during the tribulation had already raised many suspicions in Meng Chuan's mind.
One of those suspicions was that they were connected to the Villain Chat Group. It had ranked fairly high among his theories at the time.
After all, Meng Chuan had gone to face the Great Dao Tribulation as a Near-Limitless being because of a Chat Group mission. There had to be something in that tribulation the Chat Group needed.
The origin of it all, the most crucial thing, was the Chat Group.
