2: Encountering Black Emperor in the group

Even with Fang Fan's current Peak Great Emperor state of mind, this sudden voice set off a monstrous wave in his heart.

In an instant, his Divine Thought swept across the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, pierced through the Netherworld, and delved into the remote corners of the Universe, yet he could not find any source of this voice.

It seemed as if it did not belong to this space-time or this ancient history, sounding directly in the deepest depths of his Divine Soul, ignoring his Emperor body and Primordial Spirit that were capable of suppressing the ten thousand Daos.

Myriad Worlds Chat Group? Group Master?

Fang Fan—or rather, Wushi—gradually withdrew the divine light in his eyes, replaced by a strange expression that was somewhere between laughter and tears.

He had undergone Transmigration and become an Innate Sacred Body of the Dao Embryo. He attained the Dao in five hundred years, ascended to the Emperor's throne, looked down upon all eternity, and suppressed an era. This was already the top-tier template for a novel's protagonist, a perfect start.

He originally thought his life script would be to sweep through everything, suppress the darkness, fight his way into the Immortal Domain, and write the supreme myth of "Who stands at the end of the immortal path? Upon seeing Wushi, the Dao becomes void."

As it turned out... now that he was at max level and had even arguably broken through the Rank limit, that novice village Golden Finger which was five hundred years late finally arrived?

What was this? The icing on the cake? Or... did it have a deeper meaning?

He pondered for a moment, and as his Divine Thought sank into his mind, he indeed "saw" an illusory interface, similar to the chat software of his previous life, floating in the center of his Sea of Consciousness. The interface was ancient and profound, as if condensed from the brilliance of billions of stars, exuding an aura completely different from this world.

[Congratulations, Wushi Great Emperor from the Shrouding the Heavens world, you have successfully activated the "Myriad Worlds Chat Group" and automatically become the Group Master of this group!]

[As the Group Master, you possess the highest authority and have received a novice gift pack. Would you like to open it?]

"Open it," Fang Fan thought silently without hesitation.

He wanted to see what kind of surprise this five-hundred-year-late Golden Finger could bring to him, a current Great Emperor.

[Novice gift pack opened successfully!]

[Congratulations, you have obtained the "Group Master Exclusive Authority: Live Stream Function"!]

[Congratulations, you have obtained the "Group Master Exclusive Authority: Group Archive Upload/Download (Subject to world Law restrictions)"!]

[Congratulations, you have obtained the "Group Master Exclusive Authority: Designated Member Invitation"!]

Fang Fan's eyebrows twitched slightly.

These functions... for an ordinary person, might be Heaven-Defying Divine Artifacts that could change one's fate.

But for him, they seemed somewhat useless.

Live streaming? With a single thought, he could reflect the entire Universe in his heart.

Uploading and downloading? His "Wushi Sutra" was the strongest technique in all of eternity.

"Interesting."

Fang Fan moved his attention from the gift pack to the main interface of the Chat Group.

The group name was simple: [Myriad Worlds Chat Group].

In the group member list, besides his solitary [Group Master Wushi Great Emperor], there were actually several other names.

[Mortal · Han Li]

[Xiao Yan]

[Zhang Xiaofan]

[Luo Feng]

[Ji Ziyue]

[Black Emperor]

Looking at these familiar nicknames that carried a strong sense of déjà vu, Fang Fan's calm Emperor heart rippled once again.

As expected... it was them.

Just then, the silent Chat Group suddenly exploded with activity as a series of messages scrolled through.

Black Emperor: "Holy crap! It's alive! This crappy group is finally alive! This Emperor thought that fellow Desolate Heaven Emperor shut down the server after he ascended!"

Xiao Yan: "What is this? It suddenly appeared in my head... Is it a hallucination?"

Han Li: "... (Observing silently, did not speak)"

Zhang Xiaofan: "Excuse me... where is this? Are you all... Immortal Masters?"

Luo Feng: "A mental network that surpasses current Earth technology? Or some kind of illusion attack? Interesting."

Ji Ziyue: "Wow! So amazing! Who are you guys? This 'Black Emperor' has such a big mouth; are you the Holy Lord of some family?"

Watching these messages, a smile involuntarily tugged at the corner of Fang Fan's mouth. These were truly vivid remarks, filled with the marks of their respective eras and personalities.

And the most rambunctious among them was undoubtedly the Black Emperor.

Without even thinking, Fang Fan knew who he was.

Black Emperor: "What does a little girl like you know! This Emperor is a supreme existence who followed the Wushi Great Emperor in battle throughout his life, suppressing the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths! Saying it might scare you to death!"

Black Emperor: "Eh? The Group Master changed? @Group Master · Fang Fan, are you new? Do you know the rules? This Emperor is an elder of this group; I was here when the Desolate Heaven Emperor created it! Quick, give this Emperor an admin position, and I'll look out for you in the future!"

This black dog was as arrogant and... punchable as ever.

Fang Fan watched it brag with great interest.

Interestingly, this Black Emperor clearly came from the timeline of the original work; the Wushi Great Emperor it spoke of was the "him" who had already disappeared into the river of time.

Whereas he was the "present" Wushi who had just attained the Dao.

Information from two "Wushis" of different timelines produced a wonderful intersection in this small Chat Group.

Xiao Yan: "Wushi Great Emperor? Who is that? Is he very powerful?"

Black Emperor: "Nonsense! Who stands at the end of the immortal path? Upon seeing Wushi, the Dao becomes void! Do you understand the weight of those words! That is my Great Emperor! The strongest Great Emperor of all time, bar none!"

The Black Emperor's flattery made even Fang Fan feel a bit embarrassed.

He first changed his group name!

Then, he slowly sent out his first message.

[Group Master Wushi Great Emperor]: "@Black Emperor, you say you followed the Wushi Great Emperor in battle throughout his life? But how come I remember that I haven't adopted you yet?"

As soon as these words came out, the entire Chat Group instantly fell into a deathly silence.

Especially the Black Emperor, who was jumping around and spamming the screen just now; it was as if it had been struck by a bolt of Nine Heavens divine lightning, instantly becoming silent.

After a long time.

Black Emperor: "!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

A series of exclamation marks expressed its currently unspeakable shock.

Black Emperor: "You... you you you... what did you just say? You... you haven't adopted this Emperor yet? This... how is this possible! Great Emperor, haven't you already... already..."

Its words were full of confusion and disbelief.

Fang Fan could imagine that in the depths of Purple Mountain in some space-time, a large black dog was staring with eyes as wide as copper bells, its dog face written all over with horror.

[Group Master Wushi Great Emperor]: "I just attained the Dao, right here at the Mount Qin Immortal Transformation Pool. What do you think?"

Boom!

To the Black Emperor, these words were no different from a Great Emperor striking the wushi bell right in its ear!

Just attained the Dao!

Mount Qin Immortal Transformation Pool!

The combination of these two pieces of information made it instantly realize something!

Black Emperor: "It's... it's the Great Emperor who just attained the Dao! It's the young Great Emperor! My god! This Emperor... this Emperor actually met the Great Emperor before he... before he grew old!!"

Its tone turned from shock to wild joy; it was a feeling of regaining something lost, an excitement as if witnessing the reenactment of a myth.

Black Emperor: "Great Emperor! Is it really you! You're still alive! You're still so young! Wuwuwu... that's great! This Emperor knew you were invincible! Eternal and indestructible!"

The Black Emperor began to speak incoherently, so excited it was about to cry. It had been sealed in Divine Source for too long; when it woke up, the Great Emperor was already gone, leaving it to wander aimlessly through the Big Dipper holding the wushi bell, searching for traces of the Great Emperor. Now, although it was in a magical "Chat Group," it truly felt that familiar and supreme aura!
