Dimension Demon's Chat Group

Chapter 221 Joy... Holy crap!
'Just because it's always been this way, does that mean it's right?'

Lin Yu had intended to refute it in this way, but then he thought about it again and realized that it actually made sense in this world!

Even someone as powerful as Erlang Shen, after splitting the mountain to save his mother, followed the same path as the dragon-slaying youth who eventually became a dragon himself. And even the arrogant Sun Wukong, after causing havoc in the underworld and the heavenly court, eventually became the humble Sun Wukong.

If even these two notorious traitors in the Three Realms are like this, then it goes without saying that a cultivator from the lower realms like Yan Chixia is no exception.

Even if Lin Yu actually said those words, it would only be considered empty talk from someone who doesn't understand the situation...

Thinking of this, Lin Yu blurted out a different sentence: "I didn't expect you to be so optimistic."

Yan Chixia shook his head and said, "We're already at our lowest point. No matter which way we go, we're going up. Why bother looking so gloomy?"

After speaking, he paused, then looked at Lin Yu cautiously and asked, "Now that this matter is settled, I wonder what your plans are for the future, senior?"

Lin Yu raised an eyebrow, glanced at him, and said, "What, you want to recruit me?"

"That's not it."

Yan Chixia chuckled and said, "The Bodhisattva has already told me that you have an astonishing background and a noble status. You will leave this world sooner or later. How could I dare to try to keep you here, let alone recruit you..."

"Then what do you mean?"

"Judging from your actions, you are not a person who can sit still. I suppose you will return to the world and roam the martial arts world in the future?"

"...I do have this thought."

"That's great!"

Yan Chixia was overjoyed and immediately took out a black token and handed it to Lin Yu.

Lin Yu reached out and took it, finding the token cold as iron, with a large character '拘' (ju) engraved on it.

"what is this?"

"The Soul-Binding Decree," Yan Chixia said with a smile. "If I want to recruit soldiers and horses, sweep across the underworld, and rebuild the netherworld, I need many fierce ghosts and evil spirits as my vanguard."

"If you encounter any heinous villains while traveling among humans, just kill them and send them to the underworld with this token so that their evil souls can atone for their sins under my command!"

That's it!

Lin Yu looked enlightened, then teased, "There are still many wronged souls and vengeful ghosts under the Great Formation of the City of the Wrongfully Dead. Even the Black Mountain Demon can select evil ghosts from among them as ghost soldiers. As the legitimate city lord appointed by the Bodhisattva, can't you do the same?"

"It is possible to do it."

Yan Chixia smiled bitterly: "But after this great battle, with the supernatural powers of our predecessors and the scriptures to deliver the dead, the most ferocious ghosts under the great formation are almost gone. Even if we recruit the rest, they can only serve as city guards at most. It would be a bit difficult to make them attack the city and trample the underworld."

Too……

Lin Yu thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "In that case, I'll accept the token. However, I doubt I can send you many Yin soldiers on my own."

"How about this, you first try to recruit as many people as possible, clean up the battlefield, and collect some ghost soldiers' corpses."

"After a while, I'll think of a way to recruit a group of fearless soldiers for you!"

Yan Chixia's eyes lit up: "Really?"

Lin Yu smiled and nodded: "Of course!"

He paused here, giving Yan Chixia a heads-up.

"However, these soldiers are behaving rather strangely, which might cause you some trouble, if you mind..."

"It doesn't matter!"

Yan Chixia waved his hand and readily gave his answer.

Clearly, he hasn't realized the seriousness of the problem.

Lin Yu didn't explain, and immediately said with a smile, "Then it's settled!"

Just then, Yan Chixia slapped his forehead and said with a smile, "Oh right, there's one more little thing."

Lin Yu asked, "What is it?"

Yan Chixia smiled slightly, flicked his right hand at the token at his waist, and immediately took out a black-covered book.

"This is the nameless secret technique of the Black Mountain Demon for refining the City of the Wrongfully Dead. Its origin and lineage are unknown, but it is certain that it has the ability to seize all things and refine them into its own body."

"Oh?"

Lin Yu became interested and immediately reached out to take it and began to read it.

Yan Chixia leaned closer to Lin Yu and lowered his voice, saying, "The Bodhisattva said that if you don't mind, you can use this secret technique to refine the Xuanyuan Sword into its original form."

"From then on, even if there were great supernatural beings in front of them, they would not be able to tell the origin of the senior in a short time."

Is this another instruction from Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva?
Lin Yu frowned, somewhat confused about this guy's true purpose.

After a moment's thought, Lin Yu decided to study this secret technique first. Even if Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva really had other plans, at most it would just give Mount Ling an advantage, which wouldn't do Lin Yu any harm.

Thus, the journey to the underworld has come to an end!
Lin Yu spent two days overseeing the newly renovated City of the Dead, and then returned to the mortal world with the Xuanyuan Sword. While traveling around, he used the connection to locate the coordinates of this world.

……

……

Meanwhile, after Lin Yu stopped tracking, the search power of the chat group continued to roam the void.

Due to the difference in the flow of time, Lin Yu's split soul spent several days in the mythological multiverse, while his split soul in the Tang Dynasty world only spent less than half an hour.

About twenty-six minutes later, the reserve list was finally updated, and two gleaming names appeared.

One of them is still the previous [Shadow], while the other is the new group member found this time!

Looking at that extremely familiar name, Lin Yu couldn't help but show a strange expression.

He truly never expected that searching for group members in the Tang Dynasty Brick World would lead him to this famous figure!
I just don't know what his current strength is, or whether he has grown any stronger...

Thinking of this, Lin Yu immediately focused his consciousness on that name.

After seeing what the prospective group member looked like, he smiled slightly and cast his vote for the person without hesitation.

There's nothing we can do; this newcomer is just too famous.

Lin Yu was very interested in that world, so he could only let Shadow roam around on his own for a while longer!

Having resolved the new member invitation issue for the month, Lin Yu didn't rush back but stayed in the Tang Dynasty World for another day. The following day at noon, the new member invitation progress was successful, and the chat group finally popped up with a message about new members joining after a long absence.

[New member 'Xiao Yan' has joined the group chat. Come and chat with us!]

[Su Haoming: Hooray... Holy crap!]

[He Jingfeng: Holy crap!]

Bai Zemin: Holy crap!

【…】

Apart from Lin Yu, almost all the group members who knew this name expressed their feelings in the most simple and straightforward way.

Only Fan Xian, Anz, and Li Shimin were somewhat confused.

[Fan Xian: Holy crap! Hurry up and introduce yourself!]

[Bai Zemin: Brother Fan, don't you recognize this person?]

[Bai Zemin: Fortune changes every thirty years!]

[Yun Ye: Don't blame him, he time-traveled in 07, he really doesn't recognize me.]

[Bai Zemin: 07? Never mind then...]

[He Jingfeng: It feels like just yesterday when I joined the group]

[He Jingfeng: Now, in the blink of an eye, the level of newcomers has improved to this extent!]

The mere message of joining the group caused the once peaceful chat group to erupt in chaos.

The group members started sending messages, some expressing their feelings, others tagging the newcomer, all wanting to see if this Xiao Yan was the real person.

……

In the world of Battle Through the Heavens, in a secluded inn in Wutan City.

Dressed in a black robe, Xiao Yan sat cross-legged on the bed, excitedly staring at the chat box that appeared in his mind.

"It turned out to be true!"

Xiao Yan muttered to himself, his still-childish face unable to conceal his shock and excitement.

Just now, after changing his appearance and finally collecting the materials for seven Foundation Establishment Elixir from various medicine shops in Wutan City, he was about to ask the old medicine master to help him refine it when a message suddenly popped up in his mind, inviting him to join some kind of chat group for all the worlds.

Shocked, Xiao Yan couldn't help but look at Yao Lao in the room, only to find that Yao Lao was still focused on refining medicine and obviously knew nothing about this chat group.

Upon confirming that this matter had nothing to do with Yao Lao, Xiao Yan felt a surge of excitement and agitation.

Although he had never read this type of online novel, he understood the concept of chat groups.

The name "Chat Group of All Realms" is so straightforward, yet the opportunities and resources it contains are self-evident!

Without hesitation, Xiao Yan immediately accepted the invitation, which led to the scene just now where the group members were frantically spamming the chat...

"Is this my second cheat code?"

Xiao Yan clenched his fists tightly, suppressing his excitement as he looked at the group member list.

Including himself, the chat group currently has nine members and one administrator, for a total of ten people.

He didn't know most of the group members, but there were two names he was quite familiar with: Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty and Fan Xian, who had just asked him about his identity.

"Let's leave Li Shimin out of it, since he's a figure from official history."

"Fan Xian is the protagonist of 'Joy of Life,' how come he's joined the chat group?"

"And these people, they all seem to know me, and they even said something about how fortunes change over time..."

"Hiss—could it be?"

Xiao Yan gasped, a chill running down his spine.

After a moment's thought, he tentatively sent a message: "Everyone... do you recognize me?"

[Su Haoming: We're very familiar with each other!]

[Su Haoming: To be honest, I've watched you grow up since you were a child!]

[He Jingfeng: What are you saying!]

[He Jingfeng: Didn't you grow up listening to stories of Emperor Yan?]

[Su Haoming: My bad, my bad, my words were ambiguous, I was disrespectful to Brother Xiao!]

[Xiao Yan: ...Emperor Yan?]

[Su Haoming: Oh?]

[Su Haoming: I haven't asked you yet, how old are you now?]

Xiao Yan thought for a moment and answered honestly, "Sixteen."

[Su Haoming: So it was a child!]

Juvenile body...

Why does this word sound so strange?

Xiao Yan was speechless for a moment, then carefully considered his words and double-checked:
[Xiao Yan: Brother Su, do you really recognize me?]

【Su Haoming: Of course! 】

Xiao Yan was silent for a moment, then slowly replied, "Just like Brother Fan from 'Joy of Life'?"

Upon seeing this, Lin Yu, who had been silent all along, couldn't help but laugh.

Lin Yu: I didn't expect you to know about "Joy of Life"

Lin Yu: Then there's no need to waste any more words!

[Lin Yu: That's right. Just like Fan Xian in "Joy of Life," you also come from a world that we are familiar with!]
