Their respective stories

"Keep a low profile, a low profile." Cao Ya from The Masters of This World chuckled.

The two newcomers quickly adapted to the situation. After all, they were transmigrators, and both were Cao Ya.

They had merely gone a little off course during transmigration.

The Cao Ya with a teacher's air rubbed his palms together and said excitedly, "The Masters of This World? That world's freaking amazing! Boss, carry me to the top!"

"I'm Cao Ya from The Smiling, Proud Wanderer. Which world are you from?" Cao Ya from The Smiling, Proud Wanderer wore blue robes, with a wine gourd hanging at his waist.

"The world of Global Martial Arts," the teacher Cao Ya answered.

"Global Martial Arts? That world's power level isn't low either. Among us, apart from the boss from The Masters of This World, who firmly outclasses it, only Mysterious Revival can compare. Oh, right, brother, which world are you from?"

As they spoke, the other seven Cao Yas turned toward the last, silent and aloof Cao Ya, curiosity showing in their eyes.

This guy was clearly no ordinary fellow!

Yep, I'm definitely no ordinary fellow!

"Naruto." Cao Ya from Naruto kept it brief.

"Naruto?" Cao Ya from Detective Conan asked eagerly. "Have you killed Danzo and the Third yet? I've always wanted to kill those two old bastards!"

Cao Ya from Naruto gave a wry laugh. He was just about to speak when Cao Ya from Mysterious Revival interrupted him. "Share memories."

Immediately, the eight Cao Yas joined hands.

They were all Cao Ya; they had merely gone off course during transmigration.

They had transmigrated into different worlds.

This space was where they met and communicated.

In fact, they did not need to talk. A touch was enough to receive another Cao Ya's memories.

Of course, the owner could choose to withhold some.

But they were all the same person. What was worth withholding?

"Holy shit! Brother, you've had it way too rough!"

Cao Ya from Detective Conan looked at Cao Ya from Naruto and could not help roasting him. "You actually had the Cursed Tongue Eradication Seal put on you by Danzo."

"Disgraceful." Cao Ya from The Return of the Condor Heroes shook his head and said scornfully, "You've disgraced my name, Cao Ya."

Cao Ya from The Smiling, Proud Wanderer said, "Even if you couldn't beat Danzo, you shouldn't have joined Root as a pawn and risked your life for him."

"It's a miracle you've survived this long!" Cao Ya from Mysterious Revival said.

Cao Ya from Naruto's face darkened. Fuck, are you that enthusiastic about roasting me?

You're all me too, okay?

"Brother, you drew too much attention to yourself. You weren't rational enough." Cao Ya from The Masters of This World patted Cao Ya from Naruto and spoke with a pang of shared apprehension.

Unlike the other Cao Yas, he lived in The Masters of This World.

In that world, the slightest carelessness could turn you into a pawn, and you would not even know when you had died, because you had no idea whether you had ever been resurrected.

There was no need to mention the Cao Yas from Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, and The Return of the Condor Heroes. With the power of the Outer Scenery Seventh Heaven, they swept across their worlds unrivaled!

Even Cao Ya from Mysterious Revival, as the person in charge of a city, held great authority and enjoyed widespread renown.

Only Cao Ya from Detective Conan was too laid-back, spending all day hanging around a high school.

As for Cao Ya from Global Martial Arts, he was at least a teacher and had some status.

Cao Ya from Naruto smiled helplessly. Boss, at least you haven't attracted the attention of Legendary mighty figures or big shots of the Other Shore. You can grow freely.

He had it rough. His parents had both been Chunin cannon fodder, and when they died on the battlefield, he did not even know who had killed them.

Thanks to what his parents had left him, he had no trouble supporting himself, and Konoha also provided assistance to orphans.

The problem was that after entering the Ninja Academy, he had drawn a little too much attention to himself, catching Shimura Danzō's eye. He had then entered Root as a "matter of course" and had the Cursed Tongue Eradication Seal placed on him.

The Third would not fall out with Danzo over a little prodigy without a kekkei genkai.

Besides,

Perhaps the Third had tacitly approved it. After all, even the prodigies from Konoha's ninja clans would, in all likelihood, be dragged into Root if Danzo set his sights on them.

To claim that the Third had not tacitly approved and supported this was bullshit.

"That's all in the past!"

Cao Ya from Naruto straightened his back and declared boldly, "With the help of you bosses, I can kill a mere Danzo in minutes!"

"Mm." Cao Ya from The Smiling, Proud Wanderer nodded.

Cao Ya from Naruto looked enviously at Cao Ya from The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, Cao Ya from Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, and Cao Ya from The Return of the Condor Heroes. "You three have it best. With a boss backing you, you're invincible in your own worlds. One's Emperor Wu of Cao in Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, one's Great Emperor Cao in The Return of the Condor Heroes, and one's Dao Lord Cao in The Smiling, Proud Wanderer. Fuck, you're either becoming emperors or becoming Buddhas and founding patriarchs."

Cao Ya from Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, Cao Ya from The Return of the Condor Heroes, and Cao Ya from The Smiling, Proud Wanderer exchanged glances and chuckled.

"Sometimes, a lower-level world does have its advantages."

Cao Ya from Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils had steamrolled the Northern Song and the Liao Kingdom, established Cao Country, and used his surname as its national name. His might bore down upon the world, and none dared refuse to submit!

Emperor Wu of Cao was not just an empty title. With Cao Ya from The Masters of This World's power of the Outer Scenery Seventh Heaven, he was practically launching a dimensional strike in a low-powered martial world like Jin Yong Wuxia.

Cao Ya from The Return of the Condor Heroes had followed much the same path, sweeping away the Southern Song and Mongolia and likewise establishing a unified empire, styling himself Great Emperor Cao.

Cao Ya from The Smiling, Proud Wanderer had not overthrown the Ming Dynasty, but he came from the Mount Hua Sect and had fought across the world without finding a match. Dongfang Bubai, Ren Woxing, Zuo Lengchan, Fangzheng, Chongxu-he could take any of them out instantly with a single glance.

Moreover, in the world of The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, he spread martial arts far and wide, intending to raise the world's level.

Within the world of The Smiling, Proud Wanderer alone, his title of Dao Lord was truly deserved.

"But... you really have no ambition at all, do you?" Cao Ya from Naruto looked at Cao Ya from Detective Conan and said in bitter dismay.

It was truly hard to believe that such a lazy fellow was actually him!

With invincible power, he still spent every day idling around a school?!

"Don't be so jealous." Cao Ya from Detective Conan waved lazily.

"Of all of us, you're the most embarrassing," Cao Ya from Mysterious Revival said calmly.

Cao Ya from Naruto's expression froze.

Brother, don't hit someone in the face when you fight. Hitting the face isn't encouraged.

Through the System Space, the Cao Yas could share not only memories but also power.

With Cao Ya from The Masters of This World's power of the Outer Scenery Seventh Heaven, Cao Ya from Mysterious Revival naturally had no need to risk his life controlling malevolent ghosts.

The Outer Scenery Seventh Heaven did not rank at the very top in the world of Mysterious Revival, but it was definitely not weak.

Most importantly, his power had no hidden dangers whatsoever.

Most of the Ghost Controllers in Mysterious Revival were short-lived souls. A small minority were anomalies whose malevolent ghosts had entered a dormant state, such as the protagonist Yang Jian, but overusing the malevolent ghosts' power still carried the danger of their revival.

As the person in charge of Great Sun City, Cao Ya from Mysterious Revival was unquestionably a captain, and he had quite a formidable reputation among Ghost Controllers.

He could deal with ordinary malevolent ghosts very easily.

Of course, against special malevolent ghosts such as Ghost Messenger and Ghost Painting, he still had to be cautious.

The most frightening were those malevolent ghosts with special rules.

But in that world, no one knew Cao Ya relied on his own power. Everyone thought he was an anomaly among Ghost Controllers.

Cao Ya of Great Sun City!

An exceedingly mysterious captain-level Ghost Controller!
