During the extended three centuries of seclusion, Meng Chuan found himself in a state of disconnection from the chat group. For Gu Yi, the singular individual who had chosen to remain logged in, it would take a month before reconnection ensued.
The flow of time during this period proved erratic, detached from the conventional timeline. There were instances when a single day offline for Zhang Sanfeng corresponded to the passage of five days for Meng Qi, and vice versa.
The confusion persisted.
After a month in group time, the remaining four administrators adapted swiftly, seamlessly incorporating emojis into their communication. To an outsider engaging in conversation with Zhang Sanfeng, it would be inconceivable to fathom that he was an ancient entity approaching a century of existence.
Zhang Sanfeng: Majesty of the emperor.JPG
Ancient One: Majesty of the Great.JPG
Yuan Dagu: Majesty of the emperor.JPG
Observing this exchange of emojis, Meng Chuan chuckled and detached his expression from the fragments of memory.
Meng Chuan: Living the good life, a reward for oneself!
System reminder: Group Manager Meng Chuan uploaded a group red envelope - Zhezi Mi.
Yuan Dagu: Is this the Nine Secrets Xiao Meng alluded to? Zhezi Mi appears to cultivate robust vitality, does it not?
Upon Dagu's inquiry, Zhang Sanfeng and Gu Yi promptly received the red envelopes.
Zhang Sanfeng: The emperor is majestic, but regrettably, old Dao lacks longevity, engaging in it to no avail!
Koichi: Speaking of which, preparations have been made for some gifts for the emperor.
Observing Gu Yi's words, Meng Chuan's interest was piqued, contemplating whether valuable items from the Marvel world were involved. The system then alerted: Administrator Gu Yi uploaded a group red envelope—Latitude Demon Corpse x4.
System prompt: Administrator Meng Chuan received the group red envelope.
System reminder: Red envelopes for item groups can only be claimed once.
Gu Yi: @张三丰@圆大古, if there's something suitable in the future, diligent preparations will be made to provide a copy for both.
Zhang Sanfeng: Grateful in advance, Master!
Yuan Dagu: +1!
The two administrators, not receiving red envelopes from Gu Yi, experienced a twinge of embarrassment, considering themselves to possess the most alabaster prostitutes in the group.
Meng Chuan: The Master is righteous!
Surveying the corpses before him, Meng Chuan smiled. Despite hailing from an alternate system, these items were far from feeble and held considerable value for him.
Meng Chuan: How have they all fared during these days? After three hundred years of sequestering oneself, there is a genuine yearning for each and every one!
Even though Meng Qi had expounded upon the minutiae of the world that spanned the firmament, the trio remained in a state of profound awe. Immersed in solitary contemplation, contact with such luminaries could easily fade without the chat group.
Except for Gu Yi.
Zhang Sanfeng: It's merely been a few months on my end, yet the immersion in your Dao Shi Jing continues, Emperor, and the Sea of Suffering has recently unfolded.
Zhang Sanfeng: Additionally, imminently, traversing a century approaches. By then, the return of Cuishan is anticipated!
Meng Chuan: The genuine individual is unequivocally gifted; if future ventures into my world materialize, the prospect of burgeoning into a distinguished Emperor is conceivable!
Zhang Sanfeng: The old Dao, I reckon, is genuinely a "dog's head."
Yuan Dagu: No dark giant graces the domain, yet the echelons of the Life Spring have been reached.
Yuan Dagu: During cultivation, another force manifests in the corporeal form, fortifying across all dimensions, and the pace of cultivation is exceedingly swift.
Meng Chuan: That should be Light. Dagu, being both Light and Human renders an exceptionally unique existence.
Yuan Dagu: Concurrence is expressed.
Meng Chuan: Onward, the prospective Emperor of Light!
Zhang Sanfeng: @孟川, per capita, the emperor?
艹, don't think he won't dare to challenge after mastering the art of water.
Gu Yi: The Dao Beginning Sutra of the great emperor has been cultivated to the pinnacle of great power, facing the Heavenly Pass of Slashing Dao.
Meng Chuan: ! !
Meng Chuan: Hangover?
Zhang Sanfeng: Hanging ratio?
Yuan Dagu: Hanging ratio?
Koichi:...
Koichi: Different timelines have been traversed, even closing time into a loop. The time for actual practice approaches a century.
Meng Chuan: Envy.JPG
Meng Chuan: Repetition is discouraged!
Zhang Sanfeng:...
Yuan Dagu: Master, have this point been reached with the 30,000 catties of gods?
Koichi: Resources have been discovered in our world. Ample time affords the opportunity to ponder the emperor's Taoism gradually; the urgency to break through has diminished.
Koichi: The more one delves, the more the realm of the emperor appears unpredictable. Although strong individuals exist in the multiverse, awareness of their own power predominates, often bereft of understanding.
Ancient One: A hundred years of studying the ancient scriptures of the Great unveils the roads of the world.
Meng Chuan was astonished; was this the same supreme mage who joined the group with few words?
It seemed like... he was flattering him?
Meng Qi: Today, people are all together.
Meng Qi: Master, is there flattery toward the emperor?
Meng Qi: The emperor's grandeur shines again with red envelopes!
Observing Meng Qi's playful demeanor, Meng Chuan smiled. It seemed that knowing the future in advance wouldn't affect him much. Anyway, the worst-case scenario was becoming Yuanshi Tianzun...
淦!
Zhang Sanfeng: Why did Xiao Meng go online a bit late today?
Meng Qi: Today, the Six Paths of Reincarnation drew me in, and the mission of Hidden Imperial Fort has just concluded.
Meng Chuan: How was it? Did the manifestation of power directly capture the heart of classmate Xiao Jiang? ヽ(??Ω??)ゝ
Meng Qi: Performance is performance. During this time, immersion in Zhang Zhenren's Pure Yang Wuji Offering, coupled with the divine origin provided by the Emperor, has yielded substantial progress.
Zhang Sanfeng: How do you elucidate the origins of these martial arts, Xiao Meng?
Meng Qi: Placed them in a cloth bag, UU read www.uukanshu.com, and had my younger brother toss them at the door of my room. I retrieved them.
Meng Chuan:...
Zhang Sanfeng:...
Koichi:...
Yuan Dagu: Is this approach too brusque?
Meng Qi: Regardless, with the chat group providing cover, and irrespective of the reason presented, if those behind the scenes wish to probe, it remains defensible.
Meng Qi: Direct retrieval was executed; perhaps a miraculous effect is in store.
Meng Chuan: Da Yu Ruo Zhi!
Meng Qi: The Great can be heard scolding me.
Then, the defense of Meng Chuan ensued. Speaking without resorting to profanity implies a mere observation, rather than a curse. The chat group resonated with a jovial atmosphere for a while.
Koichi: Everyone, await a moment.
Koichi: Something has been discovered here.
Koichi: A work detailing the story of the emperor, it seems.
Meng Chuan: ? ? ?
Meng Qi:! !
Meng Qi: Master, upload it, upload it!
System prompt: The administrator uploaded a memory copy of "Renjie"
System prompt: "Renjie" meets the standard. Transformed into a copy of Destiny, and Administrator Gu Yi has stipulated that only Administrator Meng Chuan possesses the right to enter.
Meng Chuan wore a questioning expression; was there truly a narrative about him?
Entering with a question-marked countenance and exiting with a flat one, Meng Qi queried: How does the Great Emperor find it, is it exhilarating?
Meng Chuan: It is marvelous, but the denouement appears somewhat...
Meng Chuan: Were it not for the crossing, then Meng Chuan, reigning over the sky and native land, should mirror the account delineated herein. However, owing to the crossing, the reality and this fate copy are bound to differ significantly.
Meng Chuan, thus, opened the Destiny copy directly.
