Zhutian: Start from Devouring the Stars and Becoming a God

Chapter 377 The Fate of the New Group Members
The world of the Wilderness Era.

Having just dismissed the Ji family and left Ji Ning on the warship, Beishan Baiwei became instantly vigilant as he looked at the messages appearing in his mind.

After all, the world he lived in had real immortals, and even the ancestor of their Beishan lineage was a celestial being who was high above, had endless lifespan, and could live as long as the sun and moon.

Moreover, there are many other worlds in the Desolate Era world, and the Great Xia world where Beishan Baiwei is located is just one of them.

So after seeing everything that happened in the chat group, Beishan Baiwei was not too panicked, but only became more vigilant.

However, since no one in the so-called chat group showed him any hostility, he did not act rashly for the time being.

……

Meanwhile, in his cave, the little white dragon Ao Lie, who was recalling the past, was slightly bewildered as he looked at the messages that kept appearing in his mind.

In fact, the moment he received these messages, the White Dragon's divine sense and magic power had already swept over everything around him, but he did not notice anything unusual.

You must understand that with the White Dragon's high level of magical power, even top experts in the Three Realms such as the Buddha and the Jade Emperor would find it absolutely impossible to send him a message without disturbing him!
But now...

It was utterly unbelievable that the words spoken by others in the chat group could appear in his mind without his awareness.

However, Xiaobailong was quite skilled and daring, so he quickly decided to start a conversation with the people in the chat group.

But just as he was about to speak, he suddenly noticed what Lu Qingshan, whose title was 'Group Owner', was saying.

So Little White Dragon Ao Lie quickly changed his name and then spoke up to communicate with everyone in the group.

[Ao Lie: Who exactly are you people? How did you come into my mind? And what is your purpose?]

[Pang Bo: Ao Lie? A descendant of the Dragon God? Could it be from Journey to the West?]

[Xiao Yan: I think so too! @Ao Lie, are you the son of the West Sea Dragon King?]

[Ao Lie: Hmph! Who exactly are you people? Are you here to act as intermediaries for Ao Qin?]

[Ao Lie: When he handed me over to that Martial Virtue Star Lord, he didn't treat me like his son. Later, when my uncle, the Jing River Dragon King, was wrongly accused, he didn't remember that I was his son. Now, however, he's remembered me!]

You have to understand, Ao Lie just rejected the Turtle Prime Minister of the West Sea Dragon Palace. Now that everyone in the group is saying that he is the son of the West Sea Dragon King, how could he not be angry?
After hearing Ao Lie's words, everyone in the group naturally understood the relationship between Ao Lie and the West Sea Dragon King.

[Pang Bo: @Ao Lie, have you joined Tang Sanzang's pilgrimage team yet? If not, be careful! Don't eat Tang Sanzang's white horse, or you'll turn into a white dragon horse!]

The sequel to Journey to the West: The World.

Upon seeing Pang Bo's words, the little white dragon Ao Lie was stunned once again.

It should be noted that the journey to the West has been over for a long time now, and the five members of the pilgrimage have already achieved perfect merit, a fact known throughout the Three Realms.

Since the people in this chat group were able to transmit the message to his mind, it's impossible that they didn't know about it.

[Ao Lie: Who exactly are you people? The journey to the West has long since ended, and the scriptures have been returned to the Tang Dynasty by our master. How could you not know that?]

[Xiao Yan: This... has the Journey to the West storyline already ended? Have you already been appointed as the Bodhisattva Guangli of the Eight Heavenly Dragons by Buddha?]

Devour the starry sky world.

Looking at Ao Lie, who had just changed his name, Lu Qingshan began to guess his identity.

"The God of Martial Virtue? The pilgrimage to the West is over?"

Many thoughts flashed through Lu Qingshan's mind in an instant: "Could it be the sequel to Journey to the West?"

It's important to know that in most worlds where Ao Lie exists, he has virtually no interaction with Wu De Xing Jun.

Only in the sequel to Journey to the West did Ao Lie become the target of Wu De Xing Jun for abusing Wu De Xing Jun's son. Later, it was his senior brother Sun Wukong who helped him clear his uncle Jinghe Dragon King's name.

Just as many thoughts were flashing through Lu Qingshan's mind, someone else spoke up in the group.

[Ye Chen: I feel like this new member is Ao Lie from the sequel to Journey to the West. What do you guys think? @Pang Bo, @Xiao Yan!]

[Pang Bo: A sequel to Journey to the West? Yes! I remember now, in this world, Ao Lie offended the Martial Virtue Star Lord, which led to the wrongful death of his uncle, the Jing River Dragon King!]

[Xiao Yan: @Ye Chen, now that you mention it, I think it's very similar!]

The TV series "Journey to the West: The Sequel" was very popular back then, and they had watched it several times before their time travel, so they were quite familiar with the plot.

[Ao Lie: Who exactly are you people? And what does "Journey to the West: The Sequel" mean?]

[Ye Chen: @Ao Lie, Little White Dragon, don't be too nervous! We're saying this because we might have guessed your true identity!]

[Ye Chen: In short, it's hard to explain in just one sentence. You should first carefully read through the messages in this chat group. I believe you'll understand everything in a little while!]

[Xiao Yan: Yes! @Ao Lie, although I don't know the exact situation where you are, now that you've joined the chat group, your future will naturally change!]

In the sequel to Journey to the West, in a cave at the bottom of Tianchi Lake.

Looking at the chat history of everyone in the group, Ao Lie was still a little confused, but he still followed everyone's advice and began to understand some of the information in the chat group.

……

The world of the Wilderness Era.

Looking at the chat history in the group, Beishan Baiwei began to feel quite puzzled.

He must have some knowledge of the existence of other worlds, and even the Marquis of Anchan's mansion has some troops stationed in other small worlds.

But what the people in the chat group are saying now is something he can't understand at all.

The person labeled 'Group Owner' was clearly the highest-ranking member of the group, so when asked to change his name, he quickly did so.

After changing her name, Beishan Baiwei quickly spoke up in the chat group.

[Beishan Baiwei: Who exactly are you people? Why are your conversations appearing in my mind?]

"Beishan Baiwei?"

Upon seeing Beishan Baiwei's name, Lu Qingshan was slightly taken aback: "Could it be him?"

[Lu Qingshan: @Beishan Baiwei, is your father Beishan Black Tiger?]

[Beishan Baiwei: Group owner, how did you know? Do you know my father?]

Upon seeing Beishan Baiwei's words, Lu Qingshan quickly confirmed the other party's identity: Beishan Baiwei from the Desolate Era world, one of the protagonist Ji Ning's friends before his rise to power.

However, it is now obvious that Beishan Baiwei regards him as a person from the Desolate Era world!
This is quite normal, since Beishan Baiwei is not a transmigrator and has no understanding of this chat group. Joining it suddenly would not allow him to learn much information, let alone understand the differences between their worlds.

However, Lu Qingshan was quite happy at this moment.

Firstly, Beishan Baiwei's cultivation talent is quite ordinary. In the future, he will likely be like Yale, not spending points on cultivation frequently. At that time, it will be possible to exchange some for him.

Secondly, the Desolate Era world where Beishan Baiwei is located is at an extremely high level. Even if the controller of that chaotic universe were placed in the Devouring Star world, he would be considered a super strong person.

Moreover, although the cultivation path in the Desolate Era world is very different from that in the Swallowed Star world, it still has great reference value for Lu Qingshan's later cultivation.

However, among the three new members who have joined the group, there is still one person whose identity has not been identified, so Lu Qingshan is not in a hurry to upload the information about the world where Ao Lie and Beishan Baiwei are located to the chat group.

[Lu Qingshan: @A peerless hero rarely found in this world, I wonder if I could change my name first!]

In the world of the Tang Dynasty.

Although Li Shimin originally wanted to wait and see, now that Lu Qingshan had taken the initiative to @ him, he naturally quickly changed his name according to the prompts in the chat group.

[Li Shimin: Of course, no problem! I am Li Shimin. I have met you all before, but I don't know why you have appeared in my mind!]

[Pang Bo: Li Shimin?] [Ye Chen: You are Prince Qin, Li Shimin?]

[Xiao Yan: You are the Grand Pillar of State, General of the Heavenly Strategy, Prince of Qin, Heavenly Khan, Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin?]

In the world of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin was somewhat bewildered when he saw the numerous titles Xiao Yan had bestowed upon him.

His current identities are Shangzhuguo, Tiance Shangjiang, and Qinwang, but the Khan and Emperor Taizong of Tang spoke as if they were talking about the future.

Moreover, the temple name Taizong is usually given after the death of an emperor, so it is really too unbelievable that it suddenly appeared on a living person.

As various thoughts flashed through his mind, Li Shimin spoke up again in the chat group.

[Li Shimin: I am indeed Li Shimin. May I ask who you gentlemen are, and what is the story behind Emperor Taizong's temple name?]

[Ye Chen: It really is the King of Qin! My apologies for not recognizing him!]

[Xiao Yan: Emperor Taizong, I also greatly admire your experiences!]

In fact, with Xiao Yan and Ye Chen's current strength, they could destroy the entire Earth on their own.

However, after meeting Li Shimin, they still held some respect in their hearts.

After all, before they traveled through time, if they had to choose the most outstanding emperor from all the emperors since Qin Shi Huang, many people would have their own choices, such as Qin Shi Huang, Emperor Wu of Han, Emperor Taizong of Tang, Emperor Taizu of Ming, and so on...

Among them, Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, is definitely the most popular one!
The prosperous Zhenguan era he founded was outstanding in both civil administration and military achievements, ranking among the best in history.

Moreover, Li Shimin held an astonishing position in any world.

After a brief exchange with Li Shimin, Lu Qingshan quickly confirmed the other party's identity.

[System notification: Group owner Lu Qingshan has uploaded "Mang Huang Ji" successfully.]

[System notification: Group owner Lu Qingshan has set the viewing of "Mang Huang Ji" to be limited to Beishan Baiwei. Other group members need Beishan Baiwei's permission to view it.]

[System notification: Group owner Lu Qingshan has successfully uploaded "Journey to the West: The Sequel".]

[System notification: Group owner Lu Qingshan has set the viewing rights for "Journey to the West: The Sequel" to be limited to Ao Lie. Other group members need Ao Lie's permission to view it.]

[System notification: Group owner Lu Qingshan has successfully uploaded "The Reign of Zhenguan".]

[System notification: Group owner Lu Qingshan has set the viewing of "The Reign of Zhenguan" to be accessible only to Li Shimin. Other group members require Li Shimin's permission to view it.]

[Lu Qingshan: @Beishan Baiwei, @Ao Lie, @Li Shimin, 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 you read about your individual experiences, you'll have a better understanding of this chat group!]

……

Inside the Xuanwu Gate of the Tang Dynasty.

Although Li Shimin was still full of doubts, he could sense some respect from the words of Ye Chen, Xiao Yan and others.

This feeling also made him sense the goodwill of the people in the group, which put him at ease.

However, Li Shimin looked puzzled when he saw Lu Qingshan's uploaded book, "The Reign of Zhenguan".

"My story?"

Li Shimin thought to himself, "'The way of heaven and earth is to observe the truth,' the two characters 'Zhenguan' must be taken from the Book of Changes! But what about the 'Reign of Zhenguan'?"

As various thoughts flashed through his mind, Li Shimin quickly opened the book "The Reign of Zhenguan," which only he could read.

Subsequently, with the help of the chat group, all the contents recorded in "The Reign of Zhenguan" instantly flooded into Li Shimin's mind.

In the novel "The Reign of Zhenguan", the events before the Xuanwu Gate Incident are completely consistent with Li Shimin's own experiences, with no difference whatsoever.

After the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, he held the official positions of Minister of the Imperial Secretariat and General of the Right Martial Guard, and was enfeoffed as Duke of Qin. Later, he was promoted to Prince of Qin and led his troops to quell the various forces of Xue Rengao, Liu Wuzhou, Dou Jiande, Wang Shichong and others!
As for what happened next, it seems like something he would do in the future.

By this time, he had already launched the Xuanwu Gate Incident, and his elder brother Li Jiancheng and fourth brother Li Yuanji had been killed by him.

In the long period that followed, Li Shimin first had his father, Li Yuan, abdicate, and then ascended the throne, changing the era name to Zhenguan.

During his long reign, he actively listened to the opinions of his ministers, governed the country with civil administration, humbly accepted advice, practiced frugality, and encouraged agriculture, so that the people could recuperate and live in peace and prosperity, thus creating the famous Zhenguan era in Chinese history.

He expanded the territory, conquered DTZ and Xueyantuo, subjugated Gaochang, Kucha and Tuyuhun, severely damaged Goguryeo, established the Four Garrisons of Anxi, and was even revered as 'Heavenly Khan' by countless foreign tribes!
"This……"

After reading the entire contents of "The Reign of Zhenguan", Li Shimin was filled with endless sighs.

In fact, Li Shimin was still somewhat uneasy about the future after killing his brothers, because he did not know whether he would be condemned for his actions for all eternity.

After seeing everything he would do in the future, Li Shimin gradually calmed down.

It must be said that his actions during the Reign of Zhenguan were almost unparalleled by any other emperor in history.

"only……"

After calming down, Li Shimin felt a pang of helplessness: "I never expected Chengqian to rebel!"

"However, it seems that this matter cannot be blamed on him, after all, I have indeed spoiled Qingque a bit!"

"And Guanyinbi, she left me so early!"

In the "Reign of Zhenguan", Li Shimin did a very good job in most aspects, but he still had many regrets.

"Fortunately, none of this has happened yet, and I still have plenty of time to make amends!" Li Shimin couldn't help but think to himself.

Now that he knows these things in advance, he naturally has the opportunity to make up for his regrets.

"But this chat group..."

After reading the entire contents of "The Reign of Zhenguan", Li Shimin realized what he had encountered: "According to the group leader, all the people in the group should be from other different worlds. I wonder what the situation is like in their worlds?"

"And could that 'Cao Cao' be the same Emperor Wu of Wei from hundreds of years ago?"

"In that case, there must be people from later generations in that group. Ye Chen and Xiao Yan must be from that era, otherwise they wouldn't be so familiar with me, and even call me Emperor Taizong of Tang!"

It should be noted that Li Shimin himself was a man of exceptional intelligence and martial virtue.

Although he had no prior knowledge of the chat group, through the previous exchanges among the group members and some content from "The Reign of Zhenguan," he quickly gained some understanding of the chat group and even guessed the identities of some of the group members.

If the matter of 'cultivation' hadn't been so incomprehensible to Li Shimin, he probably would have been able to guess even more information.

[Li Shimin: @Lu Qingshan, thank you for informing me about the "Reign of Zhenguan". If you need my help in the future, please don't hesitate to ask!]

[Lu Qingshan: @Li Shimin, no need to be so polite! Since we've all been fortunate enough to join this chat group, we should naturally help each other out!]

[Pang Bo: @Li Shimin, King of Qin, I wonder if you have launched the Xuanwu Gate Incident yet?]

[Li Shimin: I am currently inside the Xuanwu Gate, and my eldest brother and fourth brother have already died at my hands!]

[Ye Chen: @Li Shimin, Prince Qin, don't blame yourself too much. After all, the Tang Dynasty was able to reach its peak under your leadership. If the emperor had been replaced by Crown Prince Li Jiancheng, the fate of the Tang Dynasty might have taken a different turn!]

[Xiao Yan: Yes! And now that you, Prince Qin, have joined this multiverse chat group, achieving immortality will be relatively easy. I believe the Tang Dynasty will surely become even stronger under your leadership!]

"Longevity?"

After seeing Xiao Yan's words in the group, Li Shimin, who had come to his senses, was stunned again.
