Chapter Summaries

Key plot points and events

• While comprehending the Heavenly Heart Imprint, Great Emperor Meng Chuan receives a mysterious chat-group invitation. His divine sense and the Imprint reveal nothing about its origin.
• The group welcomes five members, who become administrators: Meng Chuan, Zhang Sanfeng, Meng Qi, The Ancient One, and Daigu Madoka. They exchange greetings and begin figuring out who the others are.
• Meng Chuan recognizes the names from stories he remembers in his former life and infers that the group connects real people from different worlds. He encourages everyone to use their real names, though the others tease him by repeatedly calling him “restless Great Emperor.”
• Meng Qi identifies Zhang Sanfeng as the famed martial-arts master and confirms that Zhang’s disciple Zhang Cuishan is missing. He also recognizes Daigu as Ultraman Tiga and The Ancient One as the Sorcerer Supreme.
• When Meng Qi asks who Meng Chuan is, Meng Chuan reveals that he is Dao Shi, a newly ascended Great Emperor from Shrouding the Heavens. Meng Qi is stunned and immediately begs the powerful emperor for help.

• Meng Chuan is curious about the chat group but skeptical of its late arrival, joking that this “cheat” is worth less than grass. His confidence and status are clear, though the group’s nickname joke irritates him.
• Zhang Sanfeng is surprised by the unexplained interface but quickly adapts, learning to communicate through thought and asking sensible questions.
• Meng Qi begins excited, hoping the group is the long-awaited “golden finger” that will help him leave monastic life. His confidence collapses into comic awe once he learns Meng Chuan is a Great Emperor.
• The Ancient One and Daigu Madoka respond cautiously but confirm their identities. Daigu indicates that his major conflict has already ended.

Significant themes

• A late-arriving advantage: The chat group may be powerful, but Meng Chuan already has immense strength, making it feel underwhelming to him.
• Stories becoming reality: Meng Chuan recognizes group members from works he remembers, while they are living people in their own worlds.
• Cross-world connection and unequal power: The group brings together very different lives and abilities, creating both curiosity and comic intimidation.
• Humor through mistaken expectations: The members’ nicknames, teasing, and Meng Qi’s sudden plea for help undercut the grandeur of the group’s introduction.

Character interactions

• Meng Chuan takes the lead in greeting the group and asks everyone to use real names; the others respond by jokingly keeping his unwanted nickname alive.
• Meng Qi questions Zhang Sanfeng and confirms his identity through details about his disciples.
• Meng Qi recognizes Daigu and The Ancient One, then tries to identify Meng Chuan—only to discover he is far beyond the kind of “Great Emperor” Meng Qi expected.
• The chapter ends with Meng Qi appealing to Meng Chuan for protection, while Meng Chuan responds with amused indifference.

Plot points

• Meng Chuan joins the group’s conversation and reveals that he is a transmigrator. He explains that the others’ worlds appeared in stories from his former life, but insists those stories recorded real people and worlds rather than inventing them.
• He tells Meng Qi that Meng Qi is the protagonist of a story. Meng Qi cheerfully assumes this means a grand future of martial arts and romance.
• Meng Chuan discovers he can upload works about group members and turn them into Fate Instances, allowing each person to view their own recorded life. Because an instance exposes intimate memories, he restricts each one to its owner.
• He uploads instances for Zhang Sanfeng, the Ancient One, Daigu Madoka, and Meng Qi. Meng Qi’s instance is automatically trimmed by the system, prompting Meng Chuan to warn him that seeing his fate may be dangerous.
• Meng Chuan suspects the danger comes from powerful “Other Shore” figures in Meng Qi’s world. He privately resolves not to be intimidated by them, then considers how the group members’ worlds might benefit him.

Character developments and interactions

• Meng Chuan is candid and confident, sharing his past-life knowledge while carefully protecting the group members’ privacy. His concern for Meng Qi shows he recognizes that some futures carry risks beyond ordinary spoilers.
• Meng Qi jokes about being forced to become a monk and is eager to learn his future. His carefree optimism falters when Meng Chuan warns him that his world may be far more dangerous than it seems.
• Zhang Sanfeng helps Meng Chuan identify his world by mentioning the Heaven-Reliant Sword and Dragon-Slaying Saber, then politely agrees to receive his Fate Instance.
• Daigu Madoka is surprised to learn of his resemblance to a television character and accepts his Fate Instance.
• The Ancient One understands Meng Chuan’s explanation through her experience with timelines and responds calmly.

Significant themes

• Fiction and reality: Stories may be records of real worlds, not inventions, raising questions about what it means to be fictional.
• Fate and foreknowledge: The Fate Instances give characters access to their possible lives, but knowing the future may carry consequences.
• Privacy and trust: Meng Chuan limits access to each owner’s instance, treating personal memories with respect.
• Hidden scale of danger: Meng Qi’s apparently ordinary martial-arts world contains forces powerful enough to worry even Meng Chuan.

Key plot points and events

• Zhang Sanfeng thanks Meng Chuan for helping him. When Zhang asks about Meng Chuan’s world, Meng explains that the relevant recorded era lies more than 100,000 years in the future.
• Instead of describing his power, Meng Chuan shares a memory of his Great Emperor tribulation. Zhang and the other group members witness the universe-shaking ordeal: Meng Chuan battles the tribulation’s ancient figures, defeats them, devours the lightning, and becomes the Dao Beginning Great Emperor.
• Zhang Sanfeng is overwhelmed by the scale of Meng Chuan’s world, while other group members praise the Great Emperor’s strength.
• Meng Qi asks what he should do after seeing the difficult course of his own future. Meng Chuan admits he cannot help and explains that Meng Qi’s world contains beings so powerful they can treat the myriad worlds as playthings.
• The group enters Meng Qi’s Fate Instance to glimpse that world. The experience leaves them despairing at the disparity in power.
• Daigu Madoka suggests Meng Qi may eventually undo his regrets by following his destined path. Meng Qi says that if there truly is no alternative, he will become the Primordial Heavenly Venerable.

Character developments and interactions

• Zhang Sanfeng moves from gratitude to awe, recognizing how narrow his understanding of the wider world has been. Meng Chuan encourages him, saying he could become a Saint in a world with greater opportunities.

• Meng Qi struggles with learning that his life has been shaped by others and that an even greater threat awaits. He finds some comfort in Meng Chuan’s candidness, but ultimately resolves to accept his path if necessary.
• Daigu Madoka, the Ancient One, Zhang Sanfeng, and Meng Chuan react to Meng Qi’s world with astonishment and helplessness. Their usual admiration of Meng Chuan gives way to a shared sense of powerlessness.

Significant themes

• Vast differences in power: A being who rules one universe may still be insignificant beside powers operating across countless worlds.
• Fate and agency: Meng Qi must confront a future seemingly arranged for him, weighing whether to resist it or embrace the outcome it offers.
• Limits of strength and help: Even supreme power has boundaries; Meng Chuan’s achievement cannot solve Meng Qi’s predicament.
• Humility before a wider reality: Zhang Sanfeng’s reaction—and the group’s despair in Meng Qi’s world—shows how exposure to greater worlds can overturn assumptions about what is possible.

Key plot points and events

• Meng Qi introduces the group’s Red Envelope feature by sharing Arhat Fist. Zhang Sanfeng responds generously, uploading Wudang techniques and advising Meng Qi to check whether the Chat Group can conceal unfamiliar martial arts.
• Meng Chuan jokes with Meng Qi but explains that his own cultivation methods are too different from Meng Qi’s world to pass as local techniques. The Ancient One shares a compendium of Secret Mage training.
• Meng Chuan discovers that Red Envelopes can transfer knowledge and inanimate objects without payment or apparent restrictions. He shares his Dao Beginning Scripture and forty thousand jin of sealed divine source with the group, barring Meng Qi from practicing his scripture.
• Meng Qi leaves for morning lessons, and the others log off. Zhang Sanfeng examines Meng Chuan’s scripture and is exhilarated by the new possibilities it reveals.
• Alone, Meng Chuan reflects on how the group has eased the loneliness of being a Great Emperor. He values the chance to joke and relate to others without being treated as untouchable, while recognizing that his own strength remains essential.

Character developments

• Meng Qi is cheerful and shamelessly eager to claim free gifts, but he also understands the danger of using techniques that would raise suspicion in his world.
• The Ancient One and Daigu are struck by how vast the worlds connected through the group are, prompting them to reconsider the limits of what they thought possible.

Significant themes

• Loneliness and companionship: Great power can isolate its bearer; the Chat Group offers Meng Chuan genuine camaraderie.
• Sharing knowledge and opportunity: The members exchange teachings and resources, opening new paths for one another.
• Power and responsibility: Meng Chuan’s gifts are generous but carefully considered, and he warns Meng Qi against dangerous, conspicuous techniques.
• Humanity amid great power: Meng Chuan rejects the idea that cultivation requires suppressing emotion, valuing laughter and ordinary connection.

Character interactions

• Meng Qi’s exaggerated praise and free-gift enthusiasm lead to teasing exchanges with Meng Chuan, who both scolds him and looks out for him.
• Zhang Sanfeng supports Meng Qi with practical advice, then shares his own martial arts with the group.
• The Ancient One contributes her training methods, while Meng Chuan reciprocates with scripture and divine source for the others.
• After the group disperses, each member reacts privately to the encounter, while Meng Chuan reflects on the friendships forming across their different worlds.

Key plot points and events

• Meng Chuan studies martial arts from Zhang Sanfeng’s world and the Arhat Fist method from Meng Qi’s world. He extrapolates their early cultivation stages but finds them too basic to help him much at his current level.
• He reflects on the more valuable insights he gained from Meng Qi’s memories and Dao lectures, then continues cultivating on Beidou while quietly fulfilling his duty to guard it.
• After three centuries in seclusion, Meng Chuan wakes with a more powerful aura. He has already grasped most of the heavenly heart imprint’s mysteries—far faster than the two or three millennia ordinary Great Emperors usually require.
• Meng Chuan compares the two cultivation systems: the Shrouding Method emphasizes overwhelming personal strength, while the lifetime method makes intricate use of laws and time. He sees them as different paths toward a similar destination.
• The aging Saint Old Zi visits Meng Chuan. Though offered the chance to live another lifetime, Old Zi declines and asks only that Meng Chuan protect his grandson from any enemies who come after him. Meng Chuan promises that Old Zi’s lineage will not perish during his two imperial lifetimes.
• As he departs, Old Zi fondly recalls a more casual, drunken Meng Chuan from before he became Emperor. Left alone, Meng Chuan recognizes how his elevated status has changed how others treat him. He finds comfort in the thought of his Chat Group friends and teases Meng Qi by announcing the Emperor’s arrival.

Character developments and interactions

• Meng Chuan grows more adept at the heavenly heart imprint and reflects on the limits of his own power as well as the cost of his imperial status. His exchange with Old Zi reveals a compassionate side, but also the distance that now separates him from ordinary acquaintances.
• Old Zi accepts his approaching death with dignity. He cares more about securing his grandson’s safety than preserving his own life or his small faction’s fortunes.
• Meng Chuan and Old Zi share a warm but bittersweet farewell. Old Zi’s joking remark recalls their old friendship, while Meng Chuan’s formal promise shows the respect and responsibility he now bears.

Significant themes

• Different paths to power: One cultivation system relies on self-strength; another uses laws and time. Both may ultimately reach comparable heights.
• Longevity, death, and legacy: Old Zi accepts death while asking only that his grandson be spared.
• The burden of status: Becoming Great Emperor has made Meng Chuan more distant from people who once treated him casually.
• Friendship across isolation: Meng Chuan anticipates the loneliness of a long life but takes comfort in his Chat Group companions.

Key plot points and events

• After spending 300 years in seclusion, Meng Chuan reconnects with the Chat Group. Only a month has passed for The Ancient One, underscoring how wildly time differs between members’ worlds.

• Members report their progress: Zhang Sanfeng has opened his Bitter Sea using Meng Chuan’s scripture; Daigu Madoka has reached the Life Spring Realm and believes her light-based power is aiding her; The Ancient One has reached the peak of the Great Power stage after nearly a century of study across altered timelines.
• Meng Qi joins after completing a Six Paths of Reincarnation mission at the Hidden Emperor Fortress. He describes disguising the source of his martial arts by pretending to have found them in a bundle, prompting teasing from the group.
• The Ancient One discovers a work apparently depicting Meng Chuan’s life. The Chat Group turns it into a Fate Instance, which she initially restricts to Meng Chuan. He reads it, then explains that its account reflects what would have happened had he not transmigrated; his arrival changed reality.

Character developments

• Meng Chuan returns warmly to the group, rewards its members, and recognizes the value of The Ancient One’s gift. The Fate Instance makes him reflect on the difference between his recorded fate and his altered life.

• The Ancient One has become a committed student of Meng Chuan’s Dao, gaining a deeper understanding of its principles through long, patient study.
• Meng Qi continues adapting to the consequences of knowing his future, while using humor and improvised explanations to conceal the Chat Group’s influence.

• Before anyone can become Emperor, the Forbidden Zone Supremes launch a sudden dark turmoil, slaughtering the universe’s strongest cultivators and feeding on living beings. Instance-Meng Chuan dies helplessly to a Supreme’s single finger.
• The group is horrified by the Supremes’ casual cruelty. Meng Chuan explains that his own extraordinary post-transmigration talent let him become Emperor before the turmoil began, preventing the Supremes from emerging.
• The Chat Group upgrades after its members alter their fate lines. Its new features include a store, item trading for points, and future random member recruitment; administrators also receive rewards.
• Meng Chuan’s rewards remove his world’s cultivation limit and strengthen his innate dao embryo, allowing him to advance beyond the Great Emperor toward becoming a True Immortal.
• The other administrators also benefit: Zhang Sanfeng’s world restrictions lift and he opens his life spring; Daigu merges fully with Tiga and gains ancient technological knowledge; the Ancient One receives a mysterious time-related stone. Meng Qi notices no immediate change.

Character developments and interactions

• Meng Chuan’s account highlights how his boosted talent changed his fate, and the group’s concern and encouragement strengthen his resolve to keep progressing.

• Zhang Sanfeng’s new cultivation breakthrough reveals the extent to which his world had suppressed the Shrouding cultivation method. Daigu’s transformation gives him both greater power and scientific knowledge.

Significant themes

Character developments and interactions

• Meng Qi remains boastful and irreverent, joking that Meng Chuan is preparing him for a future fight. Despite the humor, he offers a practical plan to trade Meng Chuan’s techniques through Su Wuming while avoiding danger.
• Meng Chuan balances teasing with generosity and caution. He uses his wealth to support the group, but stresses that Meng Qi should abandon the exchange if it becomes unsafe.

• Yu Daiyan shifts from resentment and suspicion to hope and gratitude after learning Zhang Sanfeng understands what happened and can heal him. His private conversation with Yin Susu eases their hostility.

• Meng Chuan visits Fairy Qingyue at Jade Lake. He explains that time travel allows observation, not changing the past, and is limited by location.

• Meng Qi says he plans to change his foundational cultivation method to the Eight-Nine Mysterious Art. Unlike the original timeline, he has already opened his Eye Apertures.
• Back in his room, Meng Qi prepares to be “caught” and messages the group chat to report that the Great Emperor’s delivery has been intercepted. After teasing and repeatedly summoning Meng Chuan, he finally gets a reply: “TD,” which Meng Qi interprets as being told to unsubscribe.

• The group discusses how their worlds and timelines progress at different rates. Daigu reveals that Captain Megumi has gone to investigate the ancient ruins of R’lyeh.
• The investigation is part of the TPC’s secret “F Plan,” which aims to let humanity harness power from fragments of the destroyed Ultraman statues. Two years after Tiga’s victory over Gatanothor, political divisions and humanity’s desire for more power lead the TPC to disturb the ruins. Their work awakens Camearra, Darramb, and Hudra, setting up a new disaster caused by human ambition.

• Meng Chuan tests his increased permissions and prompts the Chat Group to reveal that members can spend 10,000 points to unlock Group Livestream early. The others ask him to pay, admitting they have no points.

Character developments and interactions

• Meng Chuan is generous enough to buy Meng Qi’s manuals, but remains the group’s chief tease—and, apparently, its likely sponsor.
• Meng Qi continues to boast and provoke jokes, while the others gang up on him; he is repeatedly muted and suspects the Chat Group discriminates against him.

• Zhang Sanfeng and the Ancient One join in the banter and express interest in seeing Daigu’s world. The Ancient One also warns him, obliquely, about the dangers of infidelity.
• The group’s growing trust is evident in their wish to meet beyond the chat, even as their friendly rivalry and teasing continue.

Significant themes

• Desire cannot simply be suppressed: Daigu argues that stopping one project cannot eliminate the human longing for power.
• Friendship across worlds: The administrators share experiences, joke freely, and hope to meet despite their separate timelines and worlds.
• Comic camaraderie: The group’s teasing, muting, and arguments about who will pay for new features provide a lighthearted contrast to the looming danger in Daigu’s world.

Key events

• Meng Chuan jokes that Meng Qi and Daigu tricked him out of points, turning the accusation into a mock-serious lecture about martial honor. The group joins in, teasing one another.

Character developments and interactions

• Meng Chuan is confident enough to spend heavily on the new feature, but remains candid about his limits: despite his Heavenly Emperor-level combat strength, he cannot locate or defeat the Undying Heavenly Emperor.
• The group’s banter grows more familiar. Meng Qi provokes Meng Chuan, Zhang Sanfeng and Daigu play along, and The Ancient One adds dry comments. Meng Chuan alternates between indulging their jokes and asserting control by muting Meng Qi.
• The livestream gives the members a new way to connect, letting them see Meng Chuan rather than only chat with him.

Significant themes

• Camaraderie through teasing: Mock complaints and exaggerated accusations strengthen the group’s rapport.
• Power has limits: Meng Chuan’s current strength is impressive, yet he recognizes the exceptional experience and abilities of ancient figures.
• Effort, opportunity, and “cheating”: Meng Chuan reflects that his progress came through cultivation and hard-won opportunities, while acknowledging that his newly arrived “golden finger” has accelerated him. He jokes that beating cheats requires becoming an even bigger cheat.

Key plot points

• Meng Chuan visits the Jiang Family to study the traces left by Emperor Hengyu. He and Jiang Daoran share tea and conversation, and Meng Chuan tests his arts against Hengyu’s Dao marks without damaging them.
• After Meng Chuan leaves, Jiang Family elders wonder why he came. They lament that he became a Great Emperor so early that Jiang Daoran—and other prodigies—never had a chance to compete. His rapid rise may also have prevented a dark turmoil: the Forbidden Zone Supremes were unlikely to act while an Extreme Dao expert guarded the world.
• Meng Chuan considers visiting a Forbidden Zone but decides against it, noting that the Supremes could flee. Instead, he visits the Ji Family to pay respects to the Void Emperor.
• Ji Lianxing greets him familiarly and jokes that he has come to “mooch tea.” After honoring the Void Emperor’s legacy, Meng Chuan is served enlightenment tea again, privately amused that he keeps looking like a guest who came mainly to drink.

Character developments and interactions

• Meng Chuan remains dignified and respectful toward the great emperors of the past, but his friends’ teasing in the group chat punctures his solemn image. He appreciates that Ji Lianxing still treats him as she always did, rather than deferring to his status.
• Jiang Daoran is gracious toward Meng Chuan, though privately he recognizes how overwhelming the younger emperor’s early achievement was. His elders voice their bitterness over the lost chance for Jiang Daoran to attain the Emperor Path.
• The group-chat friends joke about Meng Chuan’s authority, his loneliness as a Great Emperor, and his habit of accepting tea. Zhang Sanfeng reflects that emperors may outlive everyone they know, while Meng Qi and Daigu Madoka keep the conversation playful and irreverent.

Significant themes

• The isolation of power and longevity: Great Emperors may eventually lose all familiar companions.
• The crushing gap between prodigies: Meng Chuan’s extraordinary early ascension leaves peers with little hope of matching him.
• Respect for legacy: Meng Chuan honors Hengyu and the Void Emperor, whose deeds protected humanity.
• Dignity versus familiarity: His exalted status contrasts with the casual teasing of his friends and Ji Lianxing’s unchanged manner toward him.

• Emei’s Abbess Jingxuan presents a robe embroidered with a hundred longevity characters on behalf of Sect Leader Miejue.

Summary

The chat group welcomes five new members: Fei Peng, Yao Chen (whose title, “Essence-Sucking Old Man,” embarrasses him), Lu Mingfei (“Loser”), Bibi Dong, and a historical figure identified by his long title as the former “Ruthless Judge” of several provinces. The influx of newcomers unlocks livestreams, group gatherings, and group quests.
The newcomers are confused by the cross-world chat group. Zhang Sanfeng offers to explain, but Meng Chuan has already sent them the basic information. Fei Peng hopes the group might provide a worthy opponent, while the others react to the strange titles and to discovering people from unfamiliar worlds. Yao Chen’s title prompts teasing from Daigu Madoka and the rest, though he insists it is misleading.
Meng Qi tries to impress the newcomers by revealing that they are characters in novels or television dramas. His explanation falls flat because many do not know what those forms of entertainment are. Meng Chuan steps in, explains the idea of Fate Instances, and clarifies that members can earn points by uploading them. Meng Qi then uploads five instances and earns a profit, while Zhang Sanfeng and Daigu joke about their own lack of points or money.
The group reads the newcomers’ Fate Instances. Fei Peng accepts his story’s outcome without regret, though he mourns that he could not remain with the woman he loved. Yan Chixia confirms that his own instance reflects events he has already lived through. Bibi Dong is horrified by what she sees in her story, and murderous intent begins to surface. Yao Chen is surprised to learn how far the boy whose battle qi he has been absorbing will go; the group’s teasing makes him realize his words sound suggestive.

Character developments and interactions

• Meng Qi remains eager to show off and earn points, but repeatedly gets outshone by Meng Chuan. He also playfully bullies his junior monk Zhen Hui, who calls him creepy.
• Meng Chuan acts as the group’s practical guide, explaining the Fate Instances and teasing Meng Qi for his failed reveal.
• Zhang Sanfeng is welcomed by the newcomers as a calm, reassuring presence; he continues to joke about being poor.
• Fei Peng responds to his tragic future with acceptance and humor.
• Bibi Dong reacts most painfully to her revealed fate, hinting at future conflict.
• Yao Chen is embarrassed by his title and by the group’s teasing, but maintains that the implications are mistaken.
• Lu Mingfei initially protests that he is real, then understands that a novel tells his story.

Significant themes

The chapter introduces fate, foreknowledge, and the possibility of confronting one’s story: the newcomers see accounts of their lives, and their reactions differ from acceptance to shock. It also emphasizes the group’s comedic camaraderie, as members tease one another while helping newcomers adjust, and expands the group’s shared world through new features and the promise of cross-world quests.

Key plot points and events

• Lu Mingfei reflects on the painful events revealed in his fate file: his life was manipulated, loved ones and friends were tied to dangerous secrets, and he himself killed his senior while the senior wore Odin’s mask. The memories leave him overwhelmed.
• After Meng Chuan reminds him that fate files can be edited before publication, Lu uploads his file for the group to see. The members react with sympathy, though Fei Peng also criticizes Lu for not always acting responsibly.
• Meng Chuan asks whether Lu wants to change his fate. Lu eagerly agrees and sends Meng Chuan a drop of blood, giving the Great Emperor a way to help him.
• The group finishes viewing one another’s fate files. Fei Peng reflects on the friendships and rivalries he gained, while regretting that he failed Xi Yao.
• Bibi Dong learns that her tragic future has not yet begun: she has not met Yu Xiaogang. The Ancient One advises her not to panic or act rashly, and Yan Chixia suggests she has time to gain strength and confront Qian Daoliu.
• The group jokes about Bibi Dong’s future romance with Yu Xiaogang, questioning why a powerful Soul Douluo would fall for a much weaker man she had never met. Bibi Dong says she would prefer a partner as strong as Tang Hao, then protests when the others tease her about him.

Character developments and interactions

• Lu Mingfei moves from despair toward hope. After learning the group has seen his past, he openly asks Meng Chuan for help and begins showing more of his former humor and confidence.

• Bibi Dong learns she may still avert her tragedy. She responds warmly to the group’s concern, but grows flustered and annoyed when they mock her future relationship.
• The Ancient One and Yan Chixia offer Bibi Dong practical reassurance and advice; the group’s teasing, especially from Meng Chuan and Meng Qi, creates a playful contrast to the serious discussion.

Significant themes

• Fate and agency: Seeing the future can expose manipulation and suffering, but also creates opportunities to change what happens next.
