Dimension Demon's Chat Group

Chapter 369 Information Interaction Hypothesis
A look of surprise flashed across Ye Fan's face.

Immediately afterward, he realized what was happening and looked at Lin Yu nervously, waiting for the countdown to end.

Soon, the number 'nine' that had shocked him so much dropped all the way down to 'one'.

The instant the word 'zero' reached his ears, Ye Fan's body trembled. In his mind, starlight seemed to burst forth, weaving together into two lines of dazzling, brilliant words—

[Congratulations on obtaining the qualification to join the group. Would you like to join the chat group of all heavens and worlds? ]

【whether】

What are the requirements for joining the group?

A chat group for all the realms and universes?!

Ye Fan suddenly looked up, staring in shock at the small green bronze figure in front of him.

The little green bronze figure smiled slightly, and its whole body suddenly burst forth with dazzling silver light. In the blink of an eye, it changed its form and returned to the shape of the green bronze block it had been before.

At the same time, a white phantom flew out from the green copper block and transformed into a handsome young man in white robes in front of Ye Fan.

Ye Fan stared wide-eyed at the phantom of the young man before him, his expression one of astonishment. He couldn't help but shift his gaze back and forth between the young man and the green copper block that had returned to its original state.

“You…I…it…”

Seeing Ye Fan's incoherent state, the youthful phantom couldn't help but laugh heartily, seemingly having long anticipated this scene and thus quite satisfied.

As the laughter subsided, the young man's lips curled into a smile as he looked at Ye Fan and said:
"So, did you receive the invitation?"

"..."

Ye Fan glanced at the invitation screen in his mind and couldn't help but ask, "Senior, what exactly is going on?"

Lin Yu chuckled and said, "No matter how much I say, it's better to see for yourself. This invitation isn't permanent. If you miss this opportunity, you'll never know the truth again!"

"..."

Ye Fan's expression shifted, and after struggling for a moment, he finally gave in to his inner turmoil and gritted his teeth to nod at "Yes".

The moment he accepted the invitation, the two lines of large characters that had been floating in his mind instantly collapsed, turning into streaks of dazzling starlight that reassembled and intertwined, coalescing into a chat box that he was all too familiar with back on Earth.

New members 'Shadow' and 'Ye Fan' have joined the group chat. Come and chat with us!

[Lin Yu: Welcome, welcome!]

[Group members: Welcome, welcome!]

After the familiar, formulaic barrage of messages, the group members quickly discovered the identities of the two newcomers.

[Su Haoming: Wait!]

[Su Haoming: Ye Fan?!]

[Su Haoming: Is it the one I know?]

[Fan Xian: Judging from the usual behavior of chat groups, it's probably true...]

[Li Shimin: Does this mean Brother Ye is also quite famous?]

Lin Lie: Of course!

[Yun Ye: Simply put, he's a big celebrity on par with Brother Xiao!]

[He Jingfeng: First Xiao Yan, then Ye Fan, it seems like our group is drifting further and further away from our original intentions...]

[Su Haoming: There's nothing I can do about it, we leveled up so fast!]

[Bai Zemin: Wait a minute, this other newcomer seems quite formidable as well!]

[Bai Zemin: @Shadow, you're not Sid Kagano, are you?]

[Fan Xian: I don't think I've heard of this name before]

[Bai Zemin: You died so young in your past life, of course you haven't heard of it!]

[Fan Xian: …]

[Fan Xian: Are you being polite?]

[Bai Zemin: If this really is the Shadow I know, then he's a heavyweight anime protagonist, and his overpowered protagonist status is definitely no less than Ainz's!]

Ainz: ...

[Su Haoming: As expected of the number one anime fan in this group!]

[Ainz: As expected of the number one anime fan in this group!]

Everyone chimed in, teasing Bai Zeming about his strong anime/manga enthusiast tendencies.

Meanwhile, in the world of Shadow Warriors, Sid, dressed in a black robe, stood atop the tallest clock tower in the holy city of Lindblum, his hands in his pockets, gazing thoughtfully at the chat group in his mind.

Not long ago, he had just completed the magnificent finale of the Martial God Festival, and as the Shadow, he successfully crushed and defeated Princess Alice of the Kingdom and the Elf Martial God Beatrice.

Such a magnificent entrance and exit pleased Sid quite a bit.

Just as he was about to find a place to properly savor his performance, he got entangled in this so-called chat group.

This inexplicable situation reminded Sid of the Sanctuary portal he had encountered before.

However, the portal was merely chasing after him, but it could appear in his mind, and no matter how he tried to get rid of it, it couldn't affect the chat group invitation.

never mind!

Trying to solve the problems in one's head is rather unrealistic.

Since there's no way to get rid of it, why not join in and see?

With this casual thought in mind, Sid accepted the chat group invitation and then saw the group members' welcome and speculation about their identities.

“Sid Kagaino…” “Someone actually knows my name?!”

Sid was quite surprised, and after thinking for a moment, he decided to ask.

……

……

At the same time, Ye Fan from another world was also extremely astonished by this, and couldn't help but look at Lin Yu in front of him and say:

"Senior, are you in this chat group too?"

"And how do these group members know my name?"

Lin Yu smiled and said, "Let me reintroduce myself. My name is Lin Yu, and I am the administrator of the chat group. I was the first person to greet you just now!"

"As for why they've all heard of you, I remember you left Earth in 2010, right? Haven't you heard of the name Xiao Yan?"

If Lin Yu had revealed his Earthling identity before he joined the chat group, it would have definitely shocked him.

But now, compared to this multiverse chat group, the identity of Earthlings is not so important.

Ye Fan's pupils contracted slightly, as if he had just realized something, and he exclaimed in astonishment, "Battle Through the Heavens?!"

Battle Through the Heavens was published a year earlier than Shrouding the Heavens. Ye Fan was taken to the Big Dipper Star Region by the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin in 2010, exactly one year after Battle Through the Heavens was published.

"It seems this novel also exists on this Earth."

Lin Yu nodded in satisfaction and said, "That makes things easier!"

Ye Fan snapped out of his daze and stared at Lin Yu in astonishment, saying, "Isn't Xiao Yan the protagonist of the novel? How come he joined this chat group for all the worlds?"

"Could it be that I am also..."

Lin Yu said leisurely, "That's right, you are also the protagonist of a novel!"

The casual voice reached my ears, yet it struck my heart like a bolt from the blue.

Ye Fan stared blankly at Lin Yu, unable to help but open his mouth as if to say something.

But then he fell silent, his face contorted with struggle, and his heart was filled with turmoil, unable to calm down for a long time.

Lin Yu observed his expression with interest and found that although he was extremely shocked, he was generally calm and did not show any extreme reactions such as his Dao heart being shattered or him exclaiming that it was impossible.

This is quite normal; those who can become protagonists in such a world are all people with strong willpower.

Although Ye Fan was initially shocked, he was not entirely unable to accept this reality.

Before long, he calmed down and stared intently at Lin Yu, saying:
"What about the senior?"

Lin Yu was slightly taken aback, then looked at him with admiration and said, "You reacted pretty quickly!"

"That's right. Like you, the other members of the chat group are also from the world of fantasy works. However, only some of them are characters written into books like you. The rest are transmigrators who have traveled into fantasy works..."

Ye Fan couldn't help but ask, "Why?"

Lin Yu thought for a moment and said softly, "There have been various speculations about this phenomenon in the group. Among them, there are two main speculations: the source world hypothesis and the information interaction hypothesis."

"The former refers to the existence of a source world among all the heavens and myriad worlds. It is the source of information for all worlds, and all worlds related to fantasy works are born from it."

"The latter is the hypothesis most accepted by the group members at present, namely that information from different worlds is transmitted in the endless void, and after being received by life in other worlds, it becomes information such as inspiration, thus enabling them to write this story..."

Upon hearing Lin Yu's explanation, Ye Fan couldn't help but frown deeply.

After a moment's thought, he retorted, "If that's really the case, then why are the beings receiving the information all the same person in different worlds?"

"This brings us to the parallel universe isomorphism and observer hypothesis!"

Lin Yu said with a smile, "However, these two hypotheses also have many flaws, which is why they are just hypotheses, not the truth about the birth of all the worlds."

"If you are interested in these things, there is a lot of relevant information in the group files."

"When I have more free time in the future, I can discuss it with the other members of the group..."

Group files?

Ye Fan's heart stirred, and he immediately opened the group file, where he saw the densely packed shared files, numbering in the hundreds.

Besides the various materials Lin Yu had just mentioned, there were also many cultivation techniques and knowledge from different worlds, covering a wide range of fields such as technology, magic, immortal cultivation, and martial arts.

Upon seeing this, Ye Fan's eyes lit up, and he immediately forgot all about vague and ethereal things like the mysteries of the heavens and the truths of the myriad worlds.

With so many cultivation techniques and secret manuals, and futuristic technologies, if they could also be effective in his world, wouldn't he be making a fortune?

He quickly looked up, wanting to ask Lin Yu if this knowledge was shared for free, but before he could speak, he found that the entire underground space suddenly began to tremble violently.

The once stable void collapsed suddenly, and countless dark cracks spread wildly.

In the blink of an eye, a violent spatial turbulence formed on the lake in front of Ye Fan.

"How is this going?"

Ye Fan stared at Lin Yu in astonishment.

Lin Yu waved his hand to stabilize the space around him, shrugged, and said, "It's nothing, it's just that I broke free of the green copper block and was discovered by this world..."

"What do you mean?"

"What else could it mean? He got caught illegally crossing the border!"

Lin Yu calculated the time and said with a smile, "Alright, there's not much time left. I've returned the green copper block to you as promised. If you have anything to say, contact me in the chat group!"

Before he could finish speaking, his body disintegrated and vanished without a trace in the blink of an eye...
