Chat group: Among all the heavens, I am the Bull Demon King!

Chapter 42 Shen Gongbao: I am just a little leopard from Leopard Ridge!

Niu Jun saw Xi'er's chat messages.

Little did they know that the other person was completely absorbed in the moment and unable to communicate normally.

The World of Lonely Masters is a very special world. Its background is Earth year 2345. Faced with increasingly serious environmental damage and resource depletion, the Earth Federation has formulated a plan to rebuild the universe.

This plan aims to cultivate and train people's spiritual consciousness, allowing everyone's consciousness to enter the chaotic era of the online game, thereby achieving spiritual immortality.

Of course, this spiritual immortality does not mean achieving immortality in the game world, but rather achieving spiritual immortality in the real world after leaving the game world, becoming an existence comparable to a god.

Put it more simply.

That is, by using the online game world of "Chaos Era", we can continuously improve people's spiritual consciousness, enabling humans to achieve super evolution from carbon-based life forms and ultimately transform into quantum life forms of energy.

This is also why Niu Jun couldn't accurately grasp the loneliness of the world of masters and couldn't determine its cosmic level.

Because this universe is a true science fiction world.

You have no idea whether other extraterrestrial civilizations exist outside of Earth, nor whether the protagonists and their companions can evolve again based on quantum life.

But one thing is for sure.

The cultivation methods of the lonely world of masters, although illusory, have their unique features. They can use the illusory to cultivate the real, tempering and improving one's mind and will.

[Niu Jun from Journey to the West: In my view, fellow Daoists are those who travel with me on the path!]

Although Niu Jun knew that Xi'er, who was lost in a state of ecstasy, was unable to communicate normally, he still replied earnestly.

What is a fellow Daoist?

In Niu Jun's view, fellow Daoists are not friends, nor are they so-called like-minded people, but rather fellow travelers on the path of seeking enlightenment.

On the path of pursuing the Great Dao, as long as you are at the same level as me, even if you are an enemy or a stranger, you can be called a fellow Daoist.

Otherwise, they are either seniors or insignificant ants.

After replying, Niu Jun looked at the name "Master Lonely Xi'er" and typed another message.

[Niu Jun from Journey to the West: I observe that Fellow Daoist Xi'er's mental state seems somewhat unwell. What difficulties are you encountering in your spiritual cultivation?]

The cultivation methods of a master in a lonely world, although they have some unique aspects, are still extremely crude in Niu Jun's eyes and are not the methods of the Great Dao.

Of course, Niu Jun's willingness to reply to Xi'er and point out that her current mental state was not good was not to guide Xi'er in her cultivation, but to establish his persona.

He needs to establish an approachable, gentle, and friendly persona in the chat group, rather than being universally hated and feared like Cthulhu Qin Shi Huang.

Unfortunately.

Xi'er seemed to be completely absorbed in her own world and did not reply to Niu Jun's message.

On the contrary, [Demon Pill Shen Gongbao] responded to his statement.

[Shen Gongbao, the Demon Pill: Shen Gongbao of Jade Void Palace greets Fellow Daoist Niu Jun!]

[Demon Pill Shen Gongbao: Fellow Daoist Niu Jun is right. Fellow Daoist Xi'er's mental state is indeed not right. I reminded her before, but she seems to have fallen into some kind of paranoia and did not heed my warning.]

I saw that Shen Gongbao, the Demon Pill, had made a statement in the chat group.

Niu Jun also breathed a huge sigh of relief.

All I can say is that this year's group members are too difficult to manage.

First, there was Cthulhu Ying Zheng, an openly known werewolf teammate, who stirred up trouble in the chat group.

Later, the group leader, Klein, fell into a deep sleep and was unable to take charge.

Finally, there's the huge pitfall of chat group e-commerce, which drastically lowers the favorability of group members.

As a result, the chat groups we have today are practically inactive. Over 120 years, they have only accumulated a few hundred thousand messages. On average, fewer than ten messages are sent per day in these large groups. The entire chat group is deserted, desolate, and eerily quiet.

Niu Jun finally managed to log on, but he almost ended up having an awkward chat all by himself.

[Niu Jun from Journey to the West: I have long admired Fellow Daoist Shen Gongbao. May I ask what kind of world you inhabit, the Demon Orb?]

Upon hearing Shen Gongbao, the Demon Orb, speak, Niu Jun directly voiced his doubts, wanting to know whether the world Shen Gongbao came from was the same as the world of Nezha, the Demon Orb.

[Demon Pill Shen Gongbao: Fellow Daoist Niu Jun, you've also heard of my name?]

[Niu Jun from Journey to the West: To be honest, Fellow Daoist Shen Gongbao, the Journey to the West world I live in also experienced the Investiture of the Gods war, so your name is widely known.]

Niu Jun replied, half-jokingly and half-truthfully.

The Investiture of the Gods did indeed take place in the world of Journey to the West.

Furthermore, it also includes the Three Pure Ones, the Jade Emperor, Nezha, Yang Jian, Li Jing (the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King), the Four Heavenly Kings, Muzha, and other immortals and gods who appeared in the Investiture of the Gods.

However, Shen Gongbao and Jiang Ziya do not exist in the Journey to the West world.

Even the Jade Void Palace of the Chan Sect and the Biyou Palace of the Jie Sect did not exist.

So Niu Jun played a word game. It's true that the Journey to the West world experienced the Investiture of the Gods war, and it's also true that he had heard of Shen Gongbao's name.

The only falsehood is that he didn't hear Shen Gongbao's name in the Journey to the West world, but rather in his previous life.

However, Shen Gongbao's use of the word "also" immediately made Niu Jun realize that some members in the chat group had probably already told Shen Gongbao about his situation.

I don't know if that person was telling the story of Shen Gongbao from the Investiture of the Gods, or the story of Shen Gongbao from the world of Nezha.

[Shen Gongbao, the Demon Pill: I see. I didn't expect that Fellow Daoist Niu Jun's Journey to the West world also experienced the Investiture of the Gods war. May I ask who won?]

[Niu Jun from Journey to the West: If we're talking about true winners, it should be the Heavenly Court and the Buddhist sect!]

Internal strife within the Taoist community.

Internal strife within the human race.

This allowed the Heavenly Court and Buddhism to reap the benefits.

[Niu Jun from Journey to the West: Fellow Daoist, you haven't answered yet. What is the meaning of the words 'Demon Orb' in your world?]

Niu Jun asked again about the origin of the words "Demon Pill".

[Shen Gongbao, the Demon Pill: Fellow Daoist Niu Jun, you've put me in a difficult position, because I don't know why my world is named 'Demon Pill' in the chat group.]

Shen Gongbao answered truthfully.

In fact, he was also very curious as to why the chat group named their world "Demon Ball".

This name doesn't sound like a good name at all.

Upon hearing this, Niu Jun pondered for a moment before continuing to inquire.

[Niu Jun from Journey to the West: I have heard that Fellow Daoist Shen Gongbao is from a prominent human clan, possesses the appearance of a flying bear, and has an innate constitution prone to calamity. Is this true or not?]

He remembered that Shen Gongbao in the Investiture of the Gods was a human, while Shen Gongbao in the world of Nezha was a leopard spirit who had luckily joined the Chan Sect.

If Shen Gongbao, the Demon Orb, is indeed a leopard spirit, and the words "Demon Orb" provide further evidence, then it can be concluded that the Demon Orb World is the Demon Orb Nezha World.

[Shen Gongbao, the Demon Pill: Fellow Daoist, please don't joke. I, Shen Gongbao, am not human, nor do I possess the appearance of a flying bear, nor am I born with an innate calamity.]

[Shen Gongbao, the Demon Orb: I am but a little leopard from Leopard Ridge. Thanks to my father's teachings and my daily hard work, I was fortunate enough to pass the Chan Sect's immortal assessment and become a Chan Sect immortal. How dare I compare myself to the human race's prodigies!]
