23: Ye Fan panicked, while the Black Emperor laughed!

【Ruthless】: "Brother, I... I don't have any points."

Her voice carried a hint of grievance.

She had waited for countless ages and finally found her brother, yet she couldn't meet him because she lacked points. This left her feeling incredibly frustrated.

Wushi Great Emperor felt a surge of warmth in his heart as he read her message.

This woman, who had waited for eternal ages, was currently acting like a little girl, feeling aggrieved over points.

【Group Master Wushi Great Emperor】: "It's no matter. As the Group Master, I can proactively open a teleportation channel to bring you here."

【Group Master Wushi Great Emperor】: "However, before that, I need to explain the situation of this Chat Group to you."

He began to explain the issue of the Chat Group's timelines in detail to the Ruthless Great Emperor and everyone else in the group.

【Group Master Wushi Great Emperor】: "This Chat Group connects existences from different timelines."

【Group Master Wushi Great Emperor】: "@Black Emperor, the timeline you are in is the period when Ye Fan is in the four extremities Realm."

【Group Master Wushi Great Emperor】: "@Ye Fan, the timeline you are in is the period before you stepped onto the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin, while you were still on Earth."

【Group Master Wushi Great Emperor】: "@Ji Ziyue, your timeline is also the period of Ye Fan's four extremities Realm, the same space-time as the Black Emperor."

【Group Master Wushi Great Emperor】: "And @Ruthless, the timeline you are in..."

He paused.

【Group Master Wushi Great Emperor】: "It should be the period after Ye Fan has already become an Emperor, or even when he is about to step onto the Ultimate Ancient Path. That is, the Late Stage of 'Shrouding the Heavens'."

This explanation brought a sudden realization to everyone in the group.

【Xiao Yan】: "So that's how it is! No wonder the timelines didn't match up!"

【Luo Feng】: "Existences from different timelines gathered in one Chat Group... The power of this Chat Group is simply beyond my imagination!"

【Zhang Xiaofan】: "It's so complicated... but I think I understand."

【Ji Ziyue】: "So that was it!"

Meanwhile, Ye Fan was suddenly stunned.

【Ye Fan】: "Wait! Group Master, did you just say that the timeline Senior Ruthless is in is the period after I've already become an Emperor?!"

His voice was filled with shock and disbelief.

【Ye Fan】: "I... I will become an Emperor?!"

【Group Master Wushi Great Emperor】: "Correct. In your future, you will step onto the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin, arrive at the Big Dipper Star, go through countless hardships, and eventually Attain the Dao to become an Emperor, becoming the Heavenly Emperor Ye."

【Group Master Wushi Great Emperor】: "And a large part of your Opportunity comes from the Ruthless Great Emperor."

【Ye Fan】: "From Senior Ruthless?!"

Ye Fan was even more shocked.

The Ruthless Great Emperor spoke up at this moment.

【Ruthless】: "Indeed. In my timeline, I have helped you many times."

【Ruthless】: "Because you possess an aura similar to my brother's. I thought you were my brother's Reincarnation, which is why I have been helping you in the shadows."

【Ruthless】: "I left Opportunities for you, blocked deathly tribulations for you, and even personally took action to save you during your most dangerous moments."

【Ruthless】: "One could say that without me, it would have been impossible for you to become an Emperor."

Her words were calm, yet filled with an unquestionable certainty.

After hearing this, Ye Fan was completely dumbfounded.

So, a large part of his future achievements was actually due to the Ruthless Great Emperor's misunderstanding?

Because the Ruthless Great Emperor thought he was her brother's Reincarnation, she had been helping him all along?

【Ye Fan】: "Then... then now..."

He suddenly realized something, and his expression turned somewhat unsightly.

【Ye Fan】: "Since Senior Ruthless has already found her true brother, then I... doesn't that mean I won't have those Opportunities anymore?!"

His voice carried a hint of panic.

The others in the group also began to react.

【Xiao Yan】: "Holy crap! Brother Ye Fan, you..."

【Luo Feng】: "This is indeed a problem. If the Ruthless Great Emperor stops helping Ye Fan, then Ye Fan's future will likely undergo a massive change."

【Black Emperor】: "Hahaha! Ye Black kid, you have this day too! This Emperor is dying of laughter!"

The Black Emperor laughed gloatingly.

Ye Fan's face grew increasingly pale as he looked nervously toward the Ruthless Great Emperor.

【Ye Fan】: "Senior Ruthless, will you... will you still help me?"

His voice contained a trace of humble pleading.

The Ruthless Great Emperor remained silent for a moment.

【Ruthless】: "If it were the current me, I would no longer pay you any mind."

Her words were calm, but they were like a bucket of cold water poured over Ye Fan's head.

Ye Fan's heart instantly sank to the bottom.

It was over. His future was over.

However, the Ruthless Great Emperor immediately followed up:

【Ruthless】: "However, the 'me' in that timeline should still continue to help you."

【Ruthless】: "Because the 'me' of that time still won't know my brother's true identity. I will still believe you are my brother's Reincarnation, so I will continue to help you."

【Ruthless】: "Your future will not change because of the changes happening now. At least, not until my timeline arrives."

Hearing this, Ye Fan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

【Ye Fan】: "That's great! Thank you, Senior Ruthless!"

He was so excited he nearly jumped up.

【Black Emperor】: "Tsk, lucky brat."

The Black Emperor grumbled dissatisfaction.

At this moment, the Ruthless Great Emperor could no longer wait.

【Ruthless】: "Brother, can we start the teleportation? I want to see you."

Her voice was full of urgency.

Wushi Great Emperor looked at her message, a complex mix of emotions rising in his heart.

He knew that once he opened the teleportation and allowed the Ruthless Great Emperor to come to his space-time, many things would change.

But... he was also looking forward to it.

He looked forward to meeting this legendary female Emperor, to meeting this woman who had waited for eternal ages.

Moreover, if he could directly drop in a Ruthless Great Emperor who was at the Mortal World Immortal level, it would be a massive boost to his upcoming plans.

Whether it was dealing with the Undying Heavenly Emperor, clearing out the Life Forbidden Zones, or the future path to immortality, having the Ruthless Great Emperor there would greatly increase his chances of success.

Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated.

【Group Master Wushi Great Emperor】: "Alright. I will open the teleportation channel now."

【Group Master Wushi Great Emperor】: "@Ruthless, are you ready?"

【Ruthless】: "Yes! I'm ready!"

Her voice was filled with excitement and anticipation.

Wushi Great Emperor took a deep breath and, with a thought, opened the Chat Group's teleportation interface.

【system prompt: Consume 100 points to open a cross-Realm teleportation channel and teleport group member "Ruthless" to the Group Master's location?】

【Yes/No】

Fang Fan chose 【Yes】 without hesitation.

【system prompt: Insufficient points. Current points: 40. Required points: 100.】
