Ironclad Group Chat: Red and Black Lists Engraved with Heroic Epics

Where are the dissenting voices? Who dares to say now that Xu Zhao, the world's greatest cartoonist, is fabricating stories?!

Although it was actually all made up...

But, to her dismay, the facts turned out to be the opposite of what she expected.

[Phantom Image: Now do you see it? What does it mean to be the strictest mother of the Star God? This is what it means to be the strictest mother of the Star God! You said I was just scribbling before? This is no scribbling. Some guys who only have a superficial understanding of the Star God's secrets actually tried to deceive and ambush me, a forever 18-year-old, youthful and beautiful shoujo manga artist. Is this okay? This is not okay! I advise you to reflect on this and first understand the concept of this fan art. Rat Tail Juice, reflect on this...]

[Jingyuan/Feixiao/Yaoguang: ...]

[Black Tower: ...]

【Sunday:……】

[XXX: ...]

Xu Zhao had no idea, and would never be able to count, how many powerful figures and envoys she had brushed past in the galaxy just minutes before. Nor would she know how many times she had been on the verge of death.

"Tsk. They shouldn't have hidden their identities back then; they should have attacked directly!"

In the Milky Way, words of regret, spoken or murmured, emanated simultaneously from a dozen corners.

Yaoqing fairy boat.

"General," Jiaoqiu said, both amused and exasperated, "if you really did that, you would be compared to Miss Xuzhao. The damage to your reputation would be enormous. Moreover, even the Antimatter Legion, with whom you have the deepest grudge, hasn't made a move yet."

"Sigh..." Fei Xiao sat with his legs together, propped up straight on the command platform, feeling a great sense of regret: "That's why I endured until the very end. But it was precisely because everyone was holding back and watching, everyone wanting someone else to take action, that what could have been easily accomplished by one commander turned into a dozen commanders failing miserably!"

At this point, she sighed deeply. Indeed, no matter what the situation, internal strife is the biggest factor in failure.

"What I didn't expect was that Aha was quite kind-hearted; he actually released a video in advance in order to get the fake photo."

"And..." Fei Xiao's eyes sharpened, "How do you know the Legion's people really haven't arrived?"

"?!" Jiaoqiu's eyes snapped open, then she squinted at Xuzhao, who was now swaggering around in the group chat after turning over. She secretly felt a chill for her.

If other forces come, at most they'll lock her in a dark room.

If the forces of destruction were to intervene, it could truly cost her her life!

[Phantom Image: Come on, follow my account! 100 ships, and I'll update the next chapter immediately; 10 governors, and I can customize the storyline!]

[Star: No way, this is way too much! And, ten governors, one storyline?]

[Virtual Image: Ever heard of Pinhao Comics? Do you even know the value of being the strictest mother in the Star Goddess's world? You want to order from somewhere else? No way!]

[Tanuki Weekly Editor: You're getting cocky! At this rate, won't our serious serializations just end up being relegated to the sidelines?]

[Xu Zhao: Hmph, I'm going to focus my energy on fan art! Come on, the Star God Gossip Fan Art Creation Group is officially established! We are sincerely recruiting ten vice-leaders, one artist, and one colorist. No salary, no benefits, no food or accommodation provided, and a 14-hour workday. However, all works will be credited to me, and you will receive my personal guidance! Good luck, the next author to shock the world and scare everyone could be you! Sign up now!]

[Gold Sand: This treatment is outrageous! Even the company's black slaves are treated better.]

[Potio: He's a real bastard, even capitalists would say he's heartless.]

[A passerby desperate for fame: Me! Me! Me! I'm applying for the position of deputy group leader, Master Xu Zhao! I admire you so much! I've admired all the masterpieces you've created... no, I mean all the exquisite works you've meticulously crafted! Such paintings should only exist in heaven; they are rarely seen on earth!]

[Passerby A, desperate for fame 2: Ugh~ Girl, do you have any conscience saying that? That licking is disgusting. One lick and your hemorrhoids would probably turn into anal fistulas. And didn't you want to film a video of punishing that 'false image' and go viral?]

[A passerby desperate for fame: Hmph, I just want to be famous, how I become famous doesn't matter! Besides, aren't you the same?]

[Passerby A, eager to become famous 2: Bah! I'm different. I was only temporarily misled by appearances. Now I've fully realized that everything Master Xuzhao said is true truth, worthy of having a speaker every 50 meters in the universe playing Master Xuzhao's works on a loop! This comes from the bottom of my heart, absolutely no exaggeration!]

[March 7th: A loop, a replay? What about the universe then?]

[A passerby desperate for fame: Ugh... You have the nerve to talk back to me with that kind of flattery? You little bitch, trying to steal my spot? No way! Lord Xu Zhao, my admiration for you is boundless...]

The conversation in the chat group suddenly turned into an argument.

[Editor of Tanuki Weekly: She...she actually recruited!]

[Fireworks: There's no way around it, after all, traffic is king. Being opportunistic and willing to do anything to become a viral sensation is an essential skill for residents of our Two-Phase Paradise.]

[Star: What a kind and simple folk custom.]

[Tanuki Weekly Editor: Damn it, the Galactic Alliance is so disappointing! How could they let our chance to teach the president a lesson just slip by like that?]

[March 7th: May I ask, is overthrowing one's superior a part of your magazine's corporate culture?]

[Tanuki Weekly Editor: This is the person who worked with her for over half a year and still managed not to lose her temper (thumbs up).]

[Phantom Photo: Thank you to the top-ranked fan for the gift, thank you to the top-ranked fan Yao... General Yao Guang? Hehehe, even a big shot like you enjoy fan-made content?]

Recalling the memory from just a few minutes ago, the name sent a shiver down her spine.

[Yao Guang: Of course, you, Boss Yao, are always so trendy. But since we're already number one, we should at least meet up in person, right? I happen to be visiting Erxiang Paradise soon. Let's find a secluded place, somewhere within a 100-kilometer radius where there's no one else, and have a proper "exchange" of our experiences with fan-made content!]

[Black Tower: Perfect timing! See the second-ranked name? That's me, let's team up.]

[Visible image: Uh...]

Xu Zhao's eyes were wide open, like copper bells.

No matter what kind of communication they had, she could feel their murderous aura even through the firewall!

Wasn't it supposed to be that after the plot twist, I would be forgiven indefinitely?

Why does it have an additional attack?

Oh right, reality isn't a comic book; there's no such rule.

[Phantom image: Me... Brothers, is there any hope for me?]
