737: God Chat Group, the Great Deeds of the Human Emperor

In the sky, Zhang Lingxiao’s figure slowly solidified on the Divine Throne.

He held a horsetail whisk and wore a purple robe.

The profound Fate Formation slowly rotated with him as its center.

His black hair fluttered and danced with the Yin Qi flowing from the Formation.

Beneath his slightly lowered sword-like brows were a pair of Phoenix eyes as still as a cold pond;

When he smiled faintly, he appeared to have a “lowered brow, compassionate gaze.”

“Tsk, the little guy is quite handsome.”

Beside the Fated Divine Throne, Akatosh stood with his hands behind his back, observing this new God.

Zhang Lingxiao, being astute, was the first to bow to the gods, saying, “Junior Zhang Lingxiao greets Holy Consort, and greets Head of the Gods.”

“Tsk, young man, very sensible indeed.”

Akatosh nodded in satisfaction, and the other gods also offered welcoming gazes.

Elebella said, “Holy Light is extremely sensitive to undead aura, but the undead aura on you is not evil. Perhaps we can find a way to coexist.”

Zhang Lingxiao cupped his hands and replied, “To Holy Consort, wandering souls inherently have no distinction of good or evil. It is resentment and sin that turn them into evil spirits, which then causes Holy Light to reject them. The Dao of Reincarnation is the best way to cleanse resentment and dissolve sin.”

Elebella nodded and said, “That would be best. If wandering souls can be effectively controlled, the power of undead-type Professionals will become more manageable. Welcome to join us.”

“I’ll add you to the work group.”

The big-headed God of Creation said, then raised his baby-like small hand and tapped a few times in the Void Realm.

Immediately, Zhang Lingxiao saw a prompt.

“God of Creation - Zenithar has added you to the group chat — Rolling Over All Heavens.”

“Prompt: You and others in the group are not friends. Please pay attention to privacy.”

“Dark Prince - Bōlǔ Zàn: Yo, new person? Is it a God?”

“Spider Goddess - Rose: Of course, this is a God group.”

“Dark Prince - Bōlǔ Zàn: Group status -1.”

“Goddess of Stars - Enya: Welcome, new colleague.”

“Radiant Goddess - Haotian Pagoda Spirit: Welcome, new colleague.”

“Dark Prince - Bōlǔ Zàn: Newcomer photo, send red envelopes…” Zhang Lingxiao was stunned.

It was his first time seeing the “group chat” function on the panel.

Before he could ask, the God of Creation explained, “Panel communication is an ability only Machinists possess. The Human Emperor asked me to adjust this function and open it to all Professionals. It’s still a beta version. We, the first few users, are testing it for bugs.”

Zhang Lingxiao nodded in understanding.

He sighed, feeling that the world was about to enter the next era.

Panel communication was the greatest advantage of Machinist-type Professionals.

It was unhackable, difficult to intercept, and didn't require sound transmission talismans.

High-level Machinists could even communicate across space and dimensions through Machina.

The Goddess of Stars and Radiant Goddess in the group were not in the current dimension.

This beta group chat function had already achieved cross-space communication.

This was absolutely a revolutionary change.

Previously, once Professionals entered a Secret Realm, they were completely cut off from the outside world.

Although red-grade sound transmission talismans could communicate across space, these were not something ordinary Professionals could possess. Once in danger, they literally couldn't call for help from heaven or earth.

This group chat function directly solved this problem.

Once the function went online, all Professionals of the Shenzhou Empire would gain the ability to communicate across space, allowing them to communicate with the outside world from within Secret Realms and seek support and help.

Furthermore, the greatest significance of this function was cross-dimensional communication.

The current Shenzhou Empire was already a multi-dimensional nation.

If communication could only rely on sound transmission talismans, it would be impossible to manage.

“I have to admit, he thought of everything,” Zhang Lingxiao mused.

Qin Yang’s ability to become the Human Emperor was not solely due to his powerful Profession.

Every step he took laid the groundwork for the future, allowing him to proceed so smoothly.

Thinking of this, Zhang Lingxiao looked at the Human Emperor and bowed deeply to him in the air.

A thousand words converged into a single sentence: “Your subject thanks the Emperor for his grace!”

The Human Emperor merely nodded faintly and said, “Work hard.”

Thus, the new God of the Human Realm was officially born… “Ah! How could he become a God?!”

Among the banquet seats, the Sages all pounded their chests and stomped their feet in envy.

As the saying goes, one fears a brother’s suffering, but also fears a brother driving a Land Rover.

While the Sages were happy to see Zhang Lingxiao resurrected, seeing that he not only resurrected but also became a God, their eyes immediately turned bloodshot.

Firstly, they were unconvinced by Zhang Lingxiao’s deification.

This guy certainly had strength, but his character wasn't great!

Named a Sage, yet the things he did were “major operations” that couldn't be deciphered for a thousand years.

Such a person becoming a God… would he be an Evil God???

Secondly, with Zhang Lingxiao as an example, the Sages all became excited.

In their understanding, reaching the highest position among officials and bringing glory to their ancestors was already the ultimate dream.

Who knew that by working with Qin Yang, they could even become Gods!?

This temptation was a million times stronger than anything like starting a new family lineage or getting a dedicated historical record!

“Damn it! I won’t slack off anymore, I want to become a God too!”

“Exactly! This job is so motivating!”

“If I can eliminate poverty, I should be able to become a God of Wealth, right?”

The Sages and various officials all rolled up their sleeves, eager to make a significant impact.

And this was also Qin Yang’s purpose in publicly bestowing godhood upon Zhang Lingxiao.

Zhang Lingxiao’s public deification was equivalent to an employee recognition ceremony that inspired people, and it was more than just boosting morale.

Money, power… these external things were all trash in the face of godhood.

With Zhang Lingxiao as an example, officials would have higher aspirations and would not easily fall into corruption for a little material gain.

However.

Qin Yang’s return to the Human Emperor’s position was not solely due to Zhang Lingxiao’s Merit.

The hundreds of millions of Shenzhou citizens were all meritorious contributors.

They constructed the Luck Great Wall, preserving Shenzhou from the hands of the Chan Sect Golden Immortals.

Every single one of them deserved rewards.

And Qin Yang’s reward for them was, naturally, an increase in potential.

The increase in potential did not only benefit Professionals.

In fact, non-Professionals also had attributes.

Using Detection Art on non-Professionals would show their panels defaulted to Level 1.

It was just that they themselves couldn't open the panel.

As long as their potential increased, their default attributes would also increase.

Even the weakest person, if their potential increased to five stars, would have around two hundred attributes.

This was equivalent to a Professional around Level 18. Not only would they have self-preservation abilities against low-level demonic beasts, but the increase in Physique would also strengthen their resistance to diseases.

In fact, Professionals around Level 20 would almost never get sick before old age.

Even when they aged, it would only be the natural decline of organs, without infections, plagues, or cancerous changes.

It is no exaggeration to say that after this wave of improvements, medical institutions that treat ordinary people and insurance institutions that provide loans to ordinary people would go bankrupt on the spot.

“This is also a great Karma,” Qin Yang mused.

After boosting the potential of all citizens, he had completed the first step of “Ascension for the entire nation.”

Of course, being cautious, he did not act rashly.

After all, a sudden surge in attributes could put a strain on, or even damage, the body.

He had experienced it twice during his Breakthroughs in rank.

The first time was from Elite to Grandmaster, and the second was from Grandmaster to Emperor.

Especially when directly ascending to Emperor, if Elebella hadn't intervened, there could have been serious consequences.

Therefore, before proceeding with the universal potential increase, Qin Yang first found someone to test it on.

That was King Anle, Wang Kai.
