Chapter 238 The Fate of the New Group Members
(These are just some trivial matters within the group; please do not subscribe if you don't like them.)

In the chat group.

[System notification: Increased activity detected in the chat group; three new members will be randomly added to the chat group!]

[Ding! Welcome to the chat group for 'average-qualified chamber of commerce successors'!]

[Ding! Welcome to the chat group for the 'famous handsome young man from the surrounding area'!]

[Ding! Welcome to the chat group for the 'Time-Traveling Star Chef'!]

[Pang Bo: Wow, it seems the newcomers joining this chat group are all quite extraordinary!]

[Xiao Yan: Successor to the Chamber of Commerce? Handsome young man? Chef? This newcomer's identity in the group seems quite interesting!]

Lu Qingshan ignored Pang Bo and the others' words and was instead trying to figure out the identities of the three newcomers who had joined the group.

However, the nicknames of these three newcomers were rather ordinary. Apart from the last one, the star chef who traveled through time, whom he had some guesses about, he had absolutely no clue about the other two.

Of course, no matter what, as the group admin, he should still welcome the newcomer.

[Lu Qingshan: Welcome newcomer to the group!]

[Yue Buqun: Welcome newcomers to the group!]

[Han Li: Welcome newcomers to the group!]

[Cao Cao: Welcome newcomer to the group!]

[Xiao Yan: Welcome newcomer to the group!]

[Ye Chen: Welcome to the group!]

[Meng Huan: Bubble.JPG, Welcome newcomer to the group!]

[A mediocre chamber of commerce successor: Where is this place? Who are you people? How did you get into my mind?]

Flying swords ask questions in the world of Da Chang.

Meng Huan was slightly taken aback after reading what the new member said in the chat group.

Once upon a time, when he first joined the chat group, he had the same reaction as this person.

When he first joined the chat group, he thought that the so-called world in the group was like the Frosty World or the Bright World he lived in before his ascension.

But after getting familiar with the chat group, he realized just how incredible the place he had joined truly was.

Although the members of the chat group were not particularly strong, even his father's teacher, Lingbao Daozu, could not learn even the slightest bit about the chat group.

Especially recently, the group leader appeared in his world, appearing and disappearing without a trace, and no one could detect the slightest abnormality.

However, he had previously leaked some information to his father, Qin Yun, so Qin Yun later learned a little about the matter.

Qin Yun even gave him a large portion of Star Stones as a reward for Lu Qingshan, the group leader, killing the Star Destroyer Venerable.

Although there is a limit to the number of free red envelopes in the chat group each month, after he divided the Star Stone into multiple portions, he sent them to Lu Qingshan in several installments, just like the arm left behind by the fallen Star Destroyer Venerable.

[Yue Buqun: New members, this is a chat group that connects different worlds. Feel free to ask the group admin anything you don't understand; they'll surely provide the answers!]

[A Chamber of Commerce Successor with Ordinary Qualifications: A Different World? What exactly do you mean by what you're saying?]

[Lu Qingshan: @Ordinary Chamber of Commerce Successor, @Renowned Young Man from the Hundreds of Miles, @Time-Traveling Star Chef, this chat group is essentially a platform for us members to communicate and exchange ideas. You three can change your names first, and then we can continue chatting! Just have the thought of changing your name in your mind, and the chat group will display a notification. Just follow the instructions!]

Lu Qingshan is currently unable to guess the identities of these three new group members. If he could guide them to change their names, it would be much easier for him to figure out their identities.

……

The world of Bright Sword.

Li Yunlong, who had just sent someone to deliver the horses and equipment to his superiors, looked at the messages that appeared in his mind and immediately took out the pistol tucked into his waistband.

Clearly, Li Yunlong was mistaking everything that was happening in the chat group for a special tactic used by the enemy.

After all, he wasn't as cultured as Zhao Gang, and he didn't have a certain level of judgment regarding new things.

For Li Yunlong, who had little formal education, the chat group that appeared in his mind was a special means of communication, much like telephones and telegrams.

However, since the group members had not yet shown any obvious hostility, and he had not discovered any trace of the enemy, he did not act rashly for the time being.

……

Meanwhile, Gao Yao, who was in the main hall of the Qin Palace pondering how to get Xiao Yue to appear in front of his friend Yi Xiaochuan, was completely bewildered as the messages kept surfacing in his mind.

Chat group!
What a familiar yet unfamiliar name!
You should know that he was already able to use a smartphone before he transmigrated, so he was naturally very familiar with chat groups.

But now that he's traveled back to the Qin Dynasty, this chat group can still reach him, and without even needing a phone! This is simply unbelievable!

Moreover, who are these people in the group?

He didn't know people like Lu Qingshan, Pang Bo, and Xiao Yan, but he had seen Cao Cao and Yue Buqun in TV series, though he didn't know if they were the same person!

Just as he was about to ask if others had also traveled to the Qin Dynasty, he suddenly saw the sentence that Lu Qingshan had said.

So he quickly changed his name before asking the question.

[Gao Yao: Hello everyone, this is Gao Yao! @Cao Cao, @Yue Buqun, have you all traveled back to the Qin Dynasty too?]

[Cao Cao: The Qin Dynasty? Wasn't that a dynasty from over four hundred years ago? How could a man from the Qin Dynasty possibly know about me?]

[Yue Buqun: Yes! Mengde, this newcomer named Gao Yao seems to know both of us!]

[Pang Bo: Gao Yao? Time-traveled to the Qin Dynasty? Are you that unlucky guy from mythology?]

[Ye Chen: I thought of that too!]

In the quiet room of the mansion in the world of Swallowed Star.

Looking at Gao Yao, who had just changed his name, Lu Qingshan quickly guessed his identity: Gao Yao, one of the main characters in the TV series "The Myth".

Although Gao Yao becomes a complete villain in the later part of the story, he is actually just a pitiful person.

Especially in the early stages, he was a very good friend to his friend Yi Xiaochuan.

As Lu Qingshan sighed inwardly, the others in the group continued to ask questions.

[Pang Bo: @Gao Yao, are you Gao Yao? You also have a friend named Yi Xiaochuan. Did you two travel back to the Qin Dynasty together?]

[Gao Yao: That's right! How did you know? Did you orchestrate my and Xiao Chuan's time travel?]

[Pang Bo: No, that's not it! I know you; your experiences are probably similar to those of Yue Buqun and Cao Cao!]

The TV series "The Myth" was very popular back then, and Pang Bo had watched it before he and Ye Fan encountered the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin.

What he didn't expect was that he would actually run into Gao Yao in this chat group.

[Gao Yao: What do you mean by that?]

[Ye Chen: Brother Gao Yao, don't be nervous! Brother Pang means that you, like Sect Leader Yue, are actually a character in a TV series!]

Ye Chen had watched the TV series "The Myth" before he transmigrated, so he was naturally familiar with Gaoyao.

[Gao Yao: A TV series? You mean I'm currently on a film set?]

[Gao Yao: I'm not kidding you guys, I really did travel back to the Qin Dynasty!]

[Ye Chen: @Gao Yao, we know you're not joking! Anyway, it's hard to explain in a single sentence. Take a closer look at the messages in the chat group, and I'm sure you'll understand everything in a little while!]

[Pang Bo: Yes! @Gao Yao, although I don't know your current situation or whether you've been castrated, even if you have, with everyone's help, you can regain your virility!]

The Qin Dynasty, inside the Qin Palace.

Gao Yao, who was initially a little confused by the messages in the chat group, was stunned when he saw what Pang Bo said.

He couldn't help but look down.

At this point, he first met his friend Yi Xiaochuan, and then he met Xiaoyue, and he was already very happy.

But if he has any regrets, it must be about being castrated before.

Now that Pang Bo said he had a chance to regain his former glory, he was naturally very tempted.

Although he knew the chances of success were slim, he still spoke up quickly.

[Gao Yao: @Pang Bo, is everything you said true? Don't worry, as long as you can restore my virility, I'll give you all the gold I've accumulated during this time, and I'll do anything for you!]

[Pang Bo: @Gao Yao, don't worry, this is very simple, you'll find out soon enough!]

……

Panlong World, within Hess City.

Yale, who was about to go and see what had happened to his third brother Lin Lei, was also extremely puzzled as he looked at the messages that kept appearing in his mind.

Although he didn't recognize the people who appeared in his mind, judging from their chat messages, he should know many of them.

However, he had never heard of any of the things those people were talking about, such as time travel, the Qin Dynasty, film crews, TV series, etc.

However, Lu Qingshan was clearly the one with the highest status among them, so since the other party asked him to change his name, he naturally complied quickly.

After changing his name, he quickly spoke up in the chat group.

[Yale: Gentlemen, what exactly do you mean by all this? I've never heard of it before.]

Yale?

Upon seeing the name Yale, Lu Qingshan was slightly taken aback.

Such a name is so ordinary and common that it is really difficult for him to find any memory of the other person in his mind.

But what about a chamber of commerce successor with mediocre qualifications?
"Could it be him?" Lu Qingshan suddenly had a thought.

[Lu Qingshan: @Yale, your father is the president of the Dawson Chamber of Commerce, Monroe Dawson? And you have a good brother named Lin Lei?]

[Yale: Group admin, how did you know? Do you know my father? He's with me right now. If you could show yourself, I can take you to see him!]

Upon seeing Yale's words, Lu Qingshan couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

Clearly, Yale now considers him a member of the Panlong world. This is understandable, though, since Yale isn't a transmigrator. Even if he suddenly joined the chat group, it would be difficult for him to accept everything in a short time, let alone understand the differences between worlds.

However, Lu Qingshan was quite happy at this moment.

Firstly, although Gao Yao's world possesses the elixir of immortality, it is still a world lacking in resources and difficult to cultivate. Therefore, most of the points Gao Yao possesses will likely end up in his hands in the future.

As for the Panlong World where Yale is located, it possesses various types of divine attributes, including those quite similar to those of the Devouring World, such as earth, wind, water, fire, and light.

If he could obtain the divine essence of these attributes, it would surely be of great help to his comprehension of the corresponding fundamental laws.

Besides, there are other divine attributes within the Panlong World, which might allow him to gain other insights.

Of course, among the three people who have joined the group, there is still one person who has not revealed his identity, so Lu Qingshan is not in a hurry.

[Lu Qingshan: @The famous handsome young man in the surrounding villages, I wonder if you could change your name first!]

[Li Yunlong: Of course, no problem! I, Old Li, will never change my name or surname; I am Li Yunlong, the commander of the Independent Regiment!]

[Pang Bo: Li Yunlong?]

[Ye Chen: Are you Li Yunlong?]

[Xiao Yan: You're Li Yunlong, the one who killed Sakata Regiment Commander and annihilated the Yamazaki Battalion?]

[Li Yunlong: I am Li Yunlong! I killed that Sakata Regiment Commander with a single shot, but I've never heard of the Yamazaki Battalion before!]

[Ye Chen: It really is Commander Li! My apologies for not recognizing him sooner!]

[Xiao Yan: Commander Li, I have great admiration for your experience!]

In fact, with Xiao Yan and Ye Chen's current strength, one of them could easily wipe out an enhanced regiment.

Even a nuclear explosion might not be able to cause them any harm.

However, upon meeting Li Yunlong, they felt great respect for him.

After all, if it weren't for people like Li Yunlong, let alone being able to travel to another world and continuously improve their strength, even being born alive would be a big problem.

[System notification: Group owner Lu Qingshan uploaded "Bright Sword" successfully.]

[System notification: Group owner Lu Qingshan has set the viewing permissions so that only Li Yunlong can watch "Bright Sword." Other group members need Li Yunlong's permission to watch.]

[System notification: Group owner Lu Qingshan has uploaded "Mythology" successfully.]

[System notification: Group owner Lu Qingshan has uploaded "Panlong" successfully.]

[System notification: Group owner Lu Qingshan has set the viewing of "Panlong" to be accessible only to Yale students. Other group members will need Yale's permission to view it.]

[Lu Qingshan: @Li Yunlong, @Gao Yao, @Yale, this is the story of the three of you!]

[Lu Qingshan: You've just joined the group and don't know much about it yet. I believe that after reading about your individual experiences, you'll have a better understanding of this chat group!]

……

In the world of Bright Sword, inside a dilapidated room.

At this moment, Li Yunlong had already put away his gun. Although he didn't know why, he could feel a sense of respect from the words of Xiao Yan, Ye Chen, and the others.

But looking at the video of "Bright Sword" uploaded by Lu Qingshan, Li Yunlong was filled with doubt.

What is his story?

Although he didn't quite understand what Lu Qingshan was saying, he still planned to watch "Bright Sword" first.

"But Old Li can't read, so I don't know if he can understand it. Should we go find that young scholar first?"

As various thoughts flashed through his mind, Li Yunlong quickly opened the book "Bright Sword," which only he could read.

Subsequently, with the help of the chat group, all the contents recorded in "Bright Sword" instantly flooded into Li Yunlong's mind.

"This……"

"Hahaha!"

After watching the entire "Bright Sword" series, Li Yunlong burst into laughter: "Hahaha, the Japanese devils have indeed been driven away, and even Baldy has been defeated!"

"It's a pity that in the end, Baldy still managed to escape to that island. Those damned Americans actually helped Baldy and tried to pull some tricks, but we still managed to drive them back."

Li Yunlong never imagined that he would actually live to see the end of the War of Resistance against Japan, and that he would not only successfully defeat the bald man, but also witness the country becoming prosperous and strong.

"only……"

After the initial joy, Li Yunlong felt a pang of sadness.

Because during the War of Resistance Against Japan, far too many of his close friends and family members sacrificed their lives.

Xiuqin, Wei Heshang, Sun Desheng, Xizi, and countless other comrades-in-arms...

Although he had long anticipated that his comrades-in-arms, and even himself, might sacrifice themselves in future wars, Li Yunlong still felt extremely distressed when he actually saw his loved ones die one by one.

Especially Xiuqin and Wei Heshang, they are arguably the people Li Yunlong has wronged the most.

Among them, Xiuqin's sacrifice was caused by his personal order to bombard the city tower; while Wei Heshang, who had saved him many times, not only did not die at the hands of the Japanese, but was instead killed by bandits!

"But this chat group..."

After watching the entire "Bright Sword" series, Li Yunlong realized what he had encountered: "According to what this group owner said, all the people in the group should be from other worlds. I wonder if there are Japanese soldiers in their other worlds?"

"If they could provide us with some weapons and ammunition, or food and clothing, that would be the best!"

With the idea of ​​trying one's luck, Li Yunlong quickly spoke up in the chat group.

[Li Yunlong: Brothers, I, Old Li, am almost begging for food now. I wonder if you could help me with some weapons, equipment, food, or clothing?]

[System notification: Xiao Yan has uploaded a designated red envelope, a large food gift pack.]

[System notification: Ye Chen has uploaded a designated red envelope, a large gift pack of fabric.]

……

In the world of Swallowed Star.

Seeing everyone in the chat group sending red envelopes to Li Yunlong, Lu Qingshan's heart stirred slightly.

Although he has been in the Swallowed Star world for tens of millions of years, he has never forgotten his experiences in his previous life.

Thinking of this, Lu Qingshan quickly spoke up in the chat group.

[Lu Qingshan: @Li Yunlong, Lao Li, approve my crossover application, and I'll help you eliminate all the enemies!]

[System notification: Lu Qingshan has used an interdimensional teleportation channel. Do you agree?]

The world of Bright Sword.

"This kid is such a braggart!"

Looking at the chat history in the group, Li Yunlong couldn't help but feel speechless.

He even wiped out the enemy. Who does Lu Qingshan think he is?

However, after receiving a notification from the chat group, Li Yunlong, knowing that cross-dimensional teleportation posed no threat to him, quickly agreed.

To be honest, he really wanted to see what Lu Qingshan, who could boast even more than him, actually looked like.

[System notification: Li Yunlong has approved your application to enter the world of Bright Sword!]

Upon seeing that Li Yunlong had approved his application, Lu Qingshan quickly set off.

However, in order to save points, he did not bring his full strength with him, but only the strength equivalent to a ninth-level Domain Lord.

hum!
With a tremor in the space, Lu Qingshan, who had completely controlled his power and was wearing purple-gold armor, quickly appeared in front of Li Yunlong.

"Amazing!"

Upon seeing Lu Qingshan's sudden appearance, Li Yunlong, who had already begun to accept the magic of the chat group, showed no panic. Instead, he went straight up to Lu Qingshan and patted him on the shoulder, saying, "Brother, how did you do that? How did you suddenly appear in front of me?"

Looking at the easygoing and overly familiar Li Yunlong in front of him, Lu Qingshan couldn't help but show a helpless expression.

At that moment, Li Yunlong quickly added, "Brother, how did you make this armor? Can it even stop bullets? Why don't you give me a set?"

Although Li Yunlong didn't know what kind of armor Lu Qingshan was wearing, it was definitely made of metal.

If they could be sent to the arsenal, they might be able to produce quite a few bullets.

However, Lu Qingshan, who was familiar with Li Yunlong's personality, ignored him and instead unleashed his Venerable Divine Power.

Although he only carried the power of a ninth-level Domain Lord, his essence was still divine power at the Venerable level, only it was infinitely diluted by the chat group.

In just a short while, Lu Qingshan's divine power had spread throughout the world.

Subsequently, Lu Qingshan quickly began to investigate all the information he wanted to know, and nothing that was recorded in various archives could escape his notice.

He did this, naturally, to avoid harming some good people who were lurking in the enemy camp.

After thoroughly investigating all the information, Lu Qingshan quickly took action.

The formless and intangible divine power of the Venerable One swiftly and imperceptibly killed all the damned people under the banner of the Ointment.

"Alright, I've finished everything!"

After finishing everything, Lu Qingshan nodded slightly to Li Yunlong and then returned to his original world.

"This……"

Watching Lu Qingshan's disappearing figure, Li Yunlong was slightly taken aback: "If you don't want to give it, then don't. I'm not trying to rob you. What's with all this talk about finishing up business? Do you think all the Japanese soldiers will commit suicide just because you came here?"

"This Lu Qingshan, despite being the group owner, is much more stingy than the others!"

What Li Yunlong didn't know was that while he thought Lu Qingshan was stingy, a huge storm was brewing all over the world.

　I originally wanted to post a chapter summary first, but I didn't have enough time, so I'll post the main text first and the summary later.
