Omniscient and Omnipotent King Immortal: "@Huashan Sect Master, Carefree Smile's World Wanderer, Head of Huashan Sect, Yue Buqun, your wife is Ning Zhongze, and your senior disciple is Ling Huchong."
Huashan Sect Master: "Correct. King Immortal, you truly possess vast divine skills and boundless mana. So the world I originate from is known as the Carefree Smile's World."
Yue Buqun had never mentioned Ning Zhongze or Ling Huchong in the chat group. It seems this newcomer is indeed an immortal.
But it's uncertain who is more powerful compared to the God of Hongmeng.
Omniscient and Omnipotent King Immortal: "@Dominator of the Underworld Association, Fengyun World's The World Association leader, Xiong Ba? You have three disciples: Qin Shuang, Bu Jingyun, and Nie Feng."
Dominator of the Underworld Association: "Correct."
Although Xiong Ba was shocked, he knew that those who play both sides never meet a good end.
Since he had already chosen the God of Hongmeng, it would be best not to get too close to other immortal gods.
Furthermore, this great immortal had not specified what benefits he could offer them. He felt that the God of Hongmeng was more powerful.
As for deducing their information, that was nothing; the God of Hongmeng could also traverse the Myriad of Realms, seeing the past and future of the group members.
Meanwhile, Hongmeng was also watching King Immortal strut around in the chat group, becoming even more convinced that this guy was all show.
So, he sent a message as well.
God of Hongmeng: "I am Hongmeng. I teach across the Myriad of Realms. Praise my divine name; your name is not on the Reincarnation Tablet. Embrace my Divine Dao, and enjoy longevity and divine grace!"
The Descendant of the Great Yan Royal Family: "My God's might is awe-inspiring! Worship! [JPG]"
Murong Fu, who had offered a sacrifice once and received great benefits, was already a devout follower of Hongmeng, expressing his loyalty first.

Huashan Sect Master: "My God's might is awe-inspiring! Worship! [JPG]"
Dominator of the Underworld Association: "My God's might is awe-inspiring! Worship! [JPG]"
The Lord of Great Qin: "My God's might is awe-inspiring! Worship! [JPG]"
"DING! The chat group has reached the required number of members. The God of Hongmeng has earned the support of the majority and has won the position of group master."
Everyone was initially taken aback, followed by great joy.
The Descendant of the Great Yan Royal Family: "Congratulations to my God."
Soul Hall Saint Girl: "Congratulations to my God."
Huashan Sect Master: "Congratulations to my God."
...
Indeed, the essence of humans is to be echo chambers.
Hongmeng smiled slightly; he hadn't expected to become the group leader—the one with privileges—so easily.
It was quite nice.
He valued this group greatly.
It was an important tool for spreading his faith, indispensable to him at the moment, like his right and left hands.
As the group leader, he no longer had to fear being kicked out.
...
「Blue Star.」
In a shabby basement rental unit.
Wang Hao was dumbfounded. This was completely different from what he had envisioned.
Wasn't it supposed to be him showing off, and then having all the group members worship and shout his name, allowing him to easily take the position of group leader?
How come as soon as the God of Hongmeng appeared, everyone kneeled to welcome him?
What the hell? What happened?
Full of doubts, Wang Hao quickly started going through the chat history and group files.
God of Hongmeng? A True God?
Able to traverse the Myriad of Realms and show his sanctity in all the worlds?
Able to see past and future?
Propagate teachings and offer sacrifices to receive divine grace?
Murong Fu sacrificed his cousin? What a ruthless guy!
Hmm? Thousand Years Power, Swordsmanship Godsend?
Damn, that's really tempting!
Holy shit! With the God of Hongmeng around, why the hell do I need to pretend to be a charlatan and dupe these people for their trashy cultivation techniques? Isn't it better to latch onto a Great God?
Uh-oh, wait a minute. Did I offend the Great God with my showboating just now? He won't cross worlds to strike me dead with a Divine Thunder, will he?
The more Wang Hao read, the more frightened he became, and the colder his heart grew.
A chill ran from the soles of his feet to the crown of his head, filling his heart with boundless fear.
He was just an ordinary, unassuming young man who had gained access to the chat group.
He didn't wish to defy the heavens or the gods; he just wanted to survive in this era of reviving Spiritual Energy, nothing more.
The sudden emergence of the God of Hongmeng must mean he has seen through my charade. What should I do?
"Leniency for confession, severity for resistance?"
The Great God sent such a message, presumably wanting me to believe in him, right? Otherwise, I'd have already been struck dead by a Divine Thunder!
Wang Hao didn't doubt the power of the God of Hongmeng to manifest his sanctity across the Myriad of Realms.
Even if the other party could not project his power here for now, he didn't want to offend such a deity.
Thus, he decided to confess and cling tightly to the coattails of the God of Hongmeng.
He immediately changed his group nickname.
The Dog Son of Upper God: "Great God above, your humble believer Wang Hao devoutly worships you. [JPG]"
The Dog Son of Upper God: "I apologize for any offense earlier. I beg for the Great God's forgiveness. From now on, I am your most devout believer, and I will definitely spread the glory of my God—no, the glory of our God throughout the world."
Huashan Sect Master: "My God is mighty! Worship! [JPG]"
The Descendant of the Great Yan Royal Family: "My God is mighty! Worship! [JPG]"
Soul Hall Saint Girl: "My God is mighty! Worship! [JPG]"
...
All group members were shocked. They did not expect the Omniscient and Omnipotent King Immortal to be brought to his knees by a single sentence from the Upper God.
The God of Hongmeng was truly too strong.
Too terrifying.
The Dog Son of Upper God: "Everyone, I'm sorry, but I'm not really any great immortal. I am just an ordinary person from an era when Spiritual Energy is reviving. My time is the year 2021 AD."
Huashan Sect Master: "Then how do you know my information?"
Dominator of the Underworld Association: "Indeed. I have not revealed anything about my disciples in the group. How did you know?"
The Descendant of the Great Yan Royal Family: "Curious +1."
Soul Hall Saint Girl: "Curious +1."
The Lord of Great Qin: "Curious +1."
The Dog Son of Upper God: "The era I come from is the year 2021 AD. You are all characters from biographical novels or historical figures that I've read about."
Dominator of the Underworld Association: "What? We're all characters from biographical novels? How is that possible?"
The Lord of Great Qin: "I do not believe it either."
The Dog Son of Upper God: "@The Lord of Great Qin, are you Emperor Qin Shi Huang, Yingzheng, Duke Xiao of Qin, or someone else?"
The Lord of Great Qin: "I am King of Qin, Yingzheng, but not Qin Shi Huang."
Seeing this, everyone realized that Wang Hao was not truly omniscient and omnipotent; indeed, he was a fraud.
The Dog Son of Upper God: "In that case, you must have just ascended the throne and not yet unified the Six Kingdoms. Once you unify the entire country and your achievements surpass those of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, you will crown yourself Emperor. The title of Emperor will begin with you; hence, you will also be known as the First Emperor."
Huashan Sect Master: "In my world, there is also an Emperor Qin Shi Huang, Yingzheng. He lived over a thousand years ago and is known as a peerless Emperor."
The Descendant of the Great Yan Royal Family: "My world is the same. And Ying Zheng's experience is quite similar to what Wang Hao described: unifying the Six Kingdoms and declaring himself Emperor, hence becoming the First Emperor."
Dominator of the Underworld Association: "Same here."
God of Hongmeng: "In the Myriad of Realms, the countless timespaces, Nature is boundless, Hongmeng is limitless. Many weaker worlds will capture a thread of qi from stronger worlds and evolve!"
"Thus, many worlds have similar people or objects. And with countless worlds and infinite timespaces, there are numerous parallel worlds; anything is possible."
"It wouldn't be strange if one day two Ying Zhengs appear in this chat group. And there's no need to care whether they are from someone else's biographical novels!"
"Truth or falsehood—it all lies within the heart!"
"When the false is taken for true, the true becomes false; where nothingness is taken for existence, existence becomes nothingness."
The Descendant of the Great Yan Royal Family: "Greetings to my God, and thank you for dispelling my confusion."
The Lord of Great Qin: "Greetings to my God, and thank you for dispelling my confusion."
Dominator of the Underworld Association: "Greetings to my God, and thank you for dispelling my confusion."
Huashan Sect Master: "Greetings to my God, and thank you for dispelling my confusion."
...
All group members thanked him in unison.
Hongmeng said no more.
As a Divine Spirit, one must maintain mystery and dignity.
In short, it was about maintaining a cool and aloof demeanor.
After a long while, seeing that the God of Hongmeng had said nothing, the group members dared to speak up again.
The chat room became lively once more.
Yue Buqun: "@The Dog Son of Upper God, Prince Wang, you say that I am a character from biographical novels in your world. Could you send me that biography?"
"If there's anything you need, as long as it is within my power, I will not refuse."
The Dog Son of Upper God: "Sect Leader Yue, there are many versions of your biography. I'll give you two main versions. Could you give me a cultivation technique in exchange?"
Although he lived in an era when Spiritual Energy was reviving, he had no money or power to obtain a cultivation technique and thus was unable to practice cultivation, so he didn't hesitate to ask for one.
Huashan Sect Master: "No problem. I will give you the Zixia Divine Art."
The Dog Son of Upper God: "Great!"
"DING! The Dog Son of Upper God has uploaded two videos."
The two versions he uploaded showed one where Dongfang Bubai was a man who had castrated himself, and another with Dongfang Bubai as a biological woman.
Yue Buqun immediately downloaded the videos and, at the same time, sent the Zixia Divine Art to Wang Hao.
The others also downloaded the videos, ready to witness the soul-stirring and eventful life of Sect Leader Yue.
