GA: Chapter 149: The Saint of Ten Thousand Worlds? A New Chat Group Feature Unlocks!
Meanwhile, Bai Xuan was reading Lin Fengjiao's messages in the chat group with a furrowed brow.
From an inexplicable premonition, to the final arrival of a great demon.
In the premonition Lin Fengjiao had described at the start, it was the descent of a danger powerful enough to destroy the world.
For an ordinary person, that kind of premonition would naturally be an exaggeration — something to be laughed off, especially in technology-oriented circles. But from the perspective of the mystical, such a premonition carried a very substantial likelihood of being real.
Master Nine cultivated the Maoshan sect's methods. He was firmly on the mystical side.
And added to that was Master Nine's position as a Child of Fortune in the Jiangshi world. His premonitions were never wrong.
Which meant this crisis genuinely held the possibility of world destruction.
But no demon or monster native to Master Nine's world could ever accomplish that. No matter how powerful a creature from that world was, genuine world destruction was simply beyond any of them.
So whatever was about to descend almost certainly wasn't a native demon of that world.
"Chat group — has a transmigrator appeared in group member Lin Fengjiao's world?"
Bai Xuan addressed the chat group directly.
"Ding — detection of query from group member Child of Nature, initiating response."
"Ding — only the Group Leader may submit this query."
"..."
The chat group's response left Bai Xuan somewhat speechless. He went directly into the group and typed.
Child of Nature: "@Ordinary Group Leader — ask the chat group whether a transmigrator has appeared in group member Lin Fengjiao's world."
Child of Nature: "I don't have the authority to ask."
Ordinary Group Leader: "A transmigrator?! Holy—"
Ordinary Group Leader: "I completely forgot — in chat group novels, a transmigrator arriving in a group member's world is practically a standard event."
Ordinary Group Leader: "So many days had passed with nothing, it had completely slipped my mind!"
Ordinary Group Leader: "And now it's finally happened — I knew it would!"
Su Yunqing was thoroughly excited the moment it clicked. A transmigrator — perfect!
Transmigrators were valuable!
Bring a system along, and that was basically solid gold.
Whether their strength was enough — Su Yunqing hadn't even thought about it. With Bai Xuan, Hikari, and the others around, who couldn't she bring along to throw hands?
As for whether she herself could participate in the mission — she hadn't thought about that either. In every chat group novel she'd read, the Group Leader always automatically claimed one of the spots.
Turn Da Gu Into Soup: "A transmigrator?"
Daigo was mildly confused. The word was familiar — wasn't it always being applied to the Group Leader and Bai Xuan?
Could transmigrators exist in other worlds too?
Oh. Right. Before Bai Xuan had joined, he had also been a transmigrator in another world.
Child of Nature: "Just as people can be good or evil, transmigrators exist on both sides."
Child of Nature: "Some transmigrators can push a world toward development and bring about a perfect ending. Others plunder the world's fortune and drive it toward destruction."
Bai Xuan explained in the group.
Child of Nature: "Any world can have a transmigrator appear. They may or may not know the plot — but one thing is certain: they will inevitably affect that world's future."
Lin Fengjiao: "So a transmigrator appeared in my world?"
Master Nine was rather baffled. With so many worlds across the myriad dimensions, why had one chosen to land specifically in his — and apparently in the form of a demon, no less?
At least be human about it.
Child of Nature: "Well — you are Master Nine, after all."
Bai Xuan thought of the title Master Nine had earned in his previous life: Saint of the Mortal Race (Ten Thousand Worlds).
In his time, a wave of cross-dimensional travel novels had appeared, many of which started their protagonists in the Jiangshi world. They would take Master Nine as their teacher, learn talisman arts as their first step into cultivation, and once they'd grown sufficiently strong, begin their journey outward across the myriad worlds.
Because so many novels had followed this template, readers had collectively given Master Nine the title of Saint of the Mortal Race (Ten Thousand Worlds) — a tribute to how many powerful transmigrators he had helped cultivate.
If this particular transmigrator was walking that same road, then even if the chat group had detected them, it wouldn't move against them.
Because among transmigrators, those who walked that path belonged to the "good" side — their influence on the future was ultimately positive.
The other group members began to feel a stir of anticipation as well. A transmigrator — apart from Bai Xuan and Su Yunqing, they hadn't interacted with anyone like that before.
If one had appeared in Lin Fengjiao's world, what about their own worlds?
Though judging by the Group Leader's reaction, she seemed unreasonably excited about this.
It wasn't as though the transmigrator was joining the chat group — a fellow stranger met in an unfamiliar place. Whether they were demon or transmigrator, the odds were highest that they were on the "evil" side. They'd likely end up dying at the group members' hands. What was there to be excited about?
After turning it over, most group members arrived at the same answer.
Benefit. Gain.
Eliminating this transmigrator would be very advantageous for themselves.
Think about it — the Group Leader Su Yunqing and Bai Xuan.
Su Yunqing had joined the chat group and become Group Leader. Bai Xuan had the [Authority of Nature] — even without the chat group, he would eventually stand at the summit.
And then consider what Bai Xuan had said: every transmigrator, whether or not they knew the plot, would leave a significant impact on their world.
Meaning every transmigrator was a special existence.
Talent, will, ability, fortune — in some area, they inevitably possessed gifts beyond imagination.
If that were all, it still wouldn't explain the Group Leader's level of excitement. There had to be something else special about them.
Group members' eyes lit up across every world. It seemed like a trip to Lin Fengjiao's world was in order.
The chat group didn't keep anyone waiting long. Its voice sounded in every member's ear shortly after.
"Ding — transmigrator detected in group member Lin Fengjiao's world. Chat group update condition triggered."
"Ding — Task Function has been unlocked."
"Ding — Task generating... Task generation complete. Please check the task template for details."
Task World: Jiangshi World (Group Member Lin Fengjiao's World)
Task Difficulty: Intermediate
Task Participants: 4 people (including Group Member Lin Fengjiao)
Task Description: A high-tier demonic entity from another world has descended, bearing a [Rule-Class Item]. The entity's objective upon descending is [Slaughter] — to continue until no intelligent life recognized by the [Rule-Class Item] remains on the planet.
Task Reward: One Million Points (automatically deducted from Group Member Lin Fengjiao's balance upon task completion); Enhancement Attempts +1 (Success probability: 50%; the higher the base value of the enhancement target, the lower the success probability)
Lighthouse Richest: "Hissss— if I'm reading this right, that Enhancement Attempts +1 carries a fifty percent success chance?"
Lighthouse Richest: "A one-in-two probability — I think that's worth a gamble!"
Tony couldn't help feeling the pull of it. If he could get his hands on this opportunity, using it to enhance his intellect or his armor would both be excellent options.
The former would make him even sharper — his already formidable research capability becoming something even more terrifying. The latter would transform the armor into something that transcended its era entirely. Setting aside raw durability, the technology embedded in an enhanced armor alone would be of extraordinary value to him.
