Jiang Xian returned to the villa, his heart surging as he looked at his more than 3,000 lives.

Starting with over 3,000 Resurrection Coins? At that moment, Jiang Xian really felt like charging straight into the Wilderness Zone.

But with his current strength as an advanced student, he could not even beat the weakest Shadow Cat or Ironfur Boar. He could not get the snowball rolling.

Jiang Xian immersed his mind in the chat group again and discovered a hidden feature he had never noticed before.

The chat group had an Offline Function. After clicking to go offline, time would flow especially fast in the world one was in.

This feature was practically tailor-made for him. Everyone else in the group progressed very quickly. Time in the Swallowed Star World was worth far too little.

What would it be like if Jiang Xian went into seclusion once and came out to find Xiao Yan had become the Flame Emperor of the Endless Fire Domain, Ye Fan and Shi Hao had reached Above Sacrificial Dao, and Fang Han had attained eternal life?

Waiting for his groupmates to carry him would be so boring. Jiang Xian still hoped they could help one another and all soar ahead faster together.

[Jiang Xian: "Brothers, there's another hidden feature in the group: the Offline Function. Once you go offline, time in your world passes very quickly. You can use it during secluded cultivation. Though I feel like none of you will have much use for it. It's just for me, hahaha."]

[Jiang Xian: "Also, I got another new talent: One Life for One Life. I only have a little over 3,000 lives right now, which makes me a bit nervous. I want to farm it up to five digits. Ye Fan, have you boarded yet? I want to go to Mars to farm some Resurrection Coins."]

[Xiao Yan: "Group owner, does that talent mean exactly what it sounds like? Godfather, don't forget me when you strike it rich! Could you give me a Resurrection Coin?"]

[Jiang Xian: "Xiao Yan, how did you know I could give my Resurrection Coins to other people? But I can only give each person one at a time. I can only give them another after they've used it."]

[Ye Fan: "Godfather, I want one too."]

[Fang Han: "Godfather, I want one too. Why are you both calling him Godfather, Ye Fan and Xiao Yan?!"]

[Shi Hao: "Godfather big brother, I want one too."]

[Jiang Xian: "@Fang Han... Godfather is a very useful way to address someone on Earth when you're asking them for a favor. We're joking."]

Jiang Xian tried to see whether he could put lives from this talent directly into a red packet and send them out.

[Jiang Xian: "Wishing you prosperity and good fortune!"]

The red packet Jiang Xian sent was emptied in less than a second.

Four lives, one for each person. After claiming them, all four vaguely sensed that they had gained an extra life.

[Jiang Xian: "After dying, you can choose to revive at a location you've been to before. You can even revive in a different world. You choose when to revive, whether immediately or after some time has passed."]

Only then did the others in the group realize just how formidable a system-type protagonist was.

[Xiao Yan: "Group owner, you really are my godfather!"]

[Ye Fan: "System-type protagonists really are on another level."]

[Fang Han: "Group owner, words can't express my gratitude for your kindness. Once I get the Yellow Springs Diagram in a while, I'll definitely repay you properly."]

[Shi Hao: "Thank you, big brother!"]

[Jiang Xian: "It's fine. Our worlds are all major worlds, and after reading the files I uploaded, everyone has some understanding of each other's character. We're all worthy of one another's trust. By exchanging resources through the chat group, we can rapidly improve both our cultivation speed and combat strength. If there's an enemy we can't handle, just call for help in the group, and we'll take them on together."]

[Jiang Xian: "With a bunch of protagonists like us connected through the Chat Group, we're one of the greatest forces in all the heavens. So why don't we just establish a sect? Otherwise, when we go to other worlds and introduce ourselves, saying we're from the Heavenly Chat Group would be a bit awkward."]

[Xiao Yan: "I agree. So what should we call our sect?"]

[Ye Fan: "I agree too!"]

[Fang Han: "Same here."]

[Shi Hao: "I want to join the sect too."]

[Jiang Xian: "How about the Fenglingyueying Sect? We all have cheats. This sect suits us best."]

[Xiao Yan: "Hehe, that's a good one."]

[Ye Fan: "Let's go with that."]

[Fang Han: "I have no objections."]

[Shi Hao: "I agree."]

[Jiang Xian: "Okay, then we're all disciples of the Fenglingyueying Sect. Let's all use the same rank: outer disciples of the Fenglingyueying Sect. As for the inner disciples, legacy disciples, elders, and sect leader, let everyone else guess. Hahaha."]

[Jiang Xian: "Jiang Xian, outer disciple of the Fenglingyueying Sect, reporting!"]

[Xiao Yan: "Xiao Yan, outer disciple of the Fenglingyueying Sect, reporting!"]

[Ye Fan: "Ye Fan, outer disciple of the Fenglingyueying Sect, reporting!"]

[Fang Han: "Fang Han, outer disciple of the Fenglingyueying Sect, reporting!"]

[Shi Hao: "Shi Hao, outer disciple of the Fenglingyueying Sect, reporting!"]

[Jiang Xian: "Hahaha, we're all disciples of the Fenglingyueying Sect now. Let's help each other and soar together."]

Jiang Xian suddenly remembered that he could farm plenty of Resurrection Coins when Ye Fan went to Mars.

[Jiang Xian: "Ye Fan, where are you in your timeline right now? Have you boarded the Nine Dragons bus yet?"]

[Ye Fan: "There are still three days until the agreed time to climb Mount Tai. I'm planning to spend two days at home with my parents, then go with Xu Qiong and wait at a hotel at the foot of Mount Tai. What's up, group owner? Do you need something?"]

[Jiang Xian: "I'm planning to go to the Shrouding the Heavens World and board the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin with you to farm some Resurrection Coins. Having only four digits' worth of Resurrection Coins makes me really nervous. I'm planning to farm that up to five or six digits. Also, my current aptitude is terrible, so I want to go to the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land to improve it."]

[Xiao Yan: "Awesome!"]

[Ye Fan: "All right, group owner. I'll let you know in advance when I'm about to climb Mount Tai. With us brothers fighting side by side, who could last even one exchange? We'll go straight to eating barbecued crocodile."]

[Jiang Xian: "Hahaha, sounds good."]

[Ye Fan: "Group owner, I'm ready. You can come over now."]

[Jiang Xian: "????? That fast? Damn, did you turn on offline mode?"]

[Ye Fan: "Yes, I had offline mode on for two days. I'm about to leave the hotel now and climb Mount Tai."]

Jiang Xian clicked the chat group's world-travel feature. A Space Gate appeared before him, and he stepped straight through it.

[Group owner Jiang Xian has requested to travel to your world. Allow travel?] [Accept/Decline.]

Ye Fan was in his hotel room when the chat group's voice suddenly rang in his ears.

Ye Fan knew this was Jiang Xian's request and immediately accepted it.

Inside the luxurious presidential suite of a hotel at the foot of Mount Tai, a Space Gate appeared before Ye Fan and Xu Qiong.

A figure slowly emerged from the Space Gate. A handsome, fine-featured young man walked out slowly, looking about seventeen or eighteen years old.
