Swallowing the Stars: The cheat system only comes when I'm almost a god?

[Yan Lingji: Lord Lin Yuan, rest assured, I have personally delivered the three Longevity Pills to Ying Zheng in Xianyang City. The establishment of the song and dance troupe is also progressing smoothly. How about I bring them to perform for you at the gathering?]

Lin Yuan: Cough, either way is fine.

[Lin Yuan: I was mainly worried about you getting into trouble. As long as you're alright, that's all that matters.]

He hadn't been replying to Yan Lingji's messages before, and he genuinely thought she was just letting herself go after gaining power. But then he got herself into trouble with the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden...

Don't forget there's also the Qin's Moon movie, in which a girl who is the embodiment of a goddess's tear and a dragon soul that can transform into a small Pixiu appear in the Loulan region!

[Meng Qi: A song and dance troupe? Is it the kind of song and dance troupe I'm thinking of? Has the big boss fallen from grace?]

[Ye Fan: What is Xiao Meng saying? How can this be called decadence? This is clearly using art to cultivate one's character. So, does Brother Lin Yuan have any photos?]

Lin Yuan had previously mentioned that Yan Lingji was the only one who hadn't opened her memory instance to the group members. Moreover, when she joined the group, she revealed that she had been locked naked in a water prison. Therefore, after seeing her stunning profile picture, the perverted men in the group were quite curious about her world.

This time she actually established a song and dance troupe, and it seems she did so after listening to Lin Yuan's advice. She deserves a good scolding!

[Lin Yuan: What kind of photos do you want? You'll see the real person in a few days!]

[Han Li: Still protecting his food!]

[Lin Yuan: Hey, you little brat!]

……

After joking around with his friends in the group for a while, Lin Yuan suddenly thought of a question.

[Lin Yuan: By the way, does anyone know what Lao Zhang has been up to lately? I remember he didn't say anything when I was online last time.]

[Ye Fan: Senior Brother is about to complete his Core Formation, so he will no longer be active in the group chat during this time, but will instead focus on his closed-door cultivation to break through.]

[Meng Qi: My senior brother told me that once he completes the cultivation and emerges from seclusion, the Celestial Master's Path will no longer be able to restrain him. This realm is also the highest level of cultivation that the predecessors recorded in the classics could possess in the mortal world. To advance further, one must undergo the tribulation of ascension!]

Lin Yuan: Not bad, not bad.

[Lin Yuan: So, in other words, our group is finally going to have someone who transcends the limitations of the world!]

The purpose of chat groups is to provide members with a channel to connect with the outside world, allowing them to access knowledge from different worlds to break through cognitive limitations. Through resource exchange and other means, they are helped to improve their abilities, ultimately enabling them to transcend the limitations of their original world.

But I'm ashamed to say that, so far, no one in the group has been able to do this!

Looking at the people in the group—Zhang Zhiwei, Bai Huzi, and Yan Lingji are likely to achieve this, but it would be good if the others could reach the ceiling quickly.

Even Gu Xun'er and Han Li, although their current world level is relatively average, have clear goals for ascension. It is extremely difficult for them to truly break through the world's limitations. Therefore, if Lao Zhang succeeds, he will truly be a one-of-a-kind achievement for Scorpion Daddy.

[Zhang Zhiwei (World Restriction): No, fellow Daoists, you flatter me. This old Daoist is far from worthy.]

Several people in the group were still praising Lao Zhang when the real person arrived. As soon as he logged on, the bright silver badge behind his nickname was particularly eye-catching.

[Meng Qi: Wow! The chat group itself confirmed that I'm under world restrictions, senior brother is amazing!]

This badge can only be obtained by achieving a certain accomplishment in the group. The discoverer was Gu Xun'er. She had hung Xiao Yan, who wanted to enter her room at night, on a tree all night. The next day, when she logged in, a bronze badge with the nickname "Protagonist Punisher" appeared next to her name.

During that period, those few big words made the atmosphere in the group much more oppressive. After all, there were nine people in the chat group, and four of them were the real main characters!

Although they knew the badge wasn't referring to them, Ye Fan and Xiao Meng still felt uncomfortable. So, the understanding Xun'er only wore the badge for three days before taking it off, completely disregarding the 5% discount she would get when using the chat group function while wearing it.

If the badge were given to Lin Yuan, he would probably shamelessly keep it with him forever. After all, the cost of 3 million points to activate the Enlightenment function once is not low. Saving 150,000 points each time is a huge saving. Even though he still has more than 90 billion points, he can't ignore it.

"Old Zhang's silver badge should be more useful," Lin Yuan guessed to himself. "It might even reduce the cost by 10% or less?"

[Lin Yuan: By the way, Lao Zhang, you've seen the group messages, right? Want to get together in a few days? That's Ye Fan's territory, I'll handle the security, and with your current strength, there are plenty of resources suitable for you.]

[Zhang Zhiwei: That's fine. I've just successfully broken through, and this period of seclusion took quite a while. It'll be a good opportunity to change my mood.]

Lin Yuan: Okay, now everyone's almost here. The only one who can't go is Xiao Meng, and we need to notify Bai Hu as well...

"Ding! Warning! Warning!"

"Ding! Level 2 Administrator Whitebeard has lost all vital signs. The chat group has determined he is in a state of 'fallen,' and we are currently retrieving his One Piece world anchor point!"

"Ding! Group members can travel to this world before the anchor point is completely reclaimed. If the anchor point is successfully reset, the world will belong to the chat group, and the group member who took the action will automatically have the right to manage and develop it."

……

Lin Yuan: ?

Meng Qi: ?

Han Li: ?

……

A series of system messages stunned everyone. Someone in the group had died? Even though the other person was just the almost invisible Whitebeard, his sudden death was like a bomb dropped into deep water. (Exploring the infinite possibilities of science fiction, all in p>)

[Ye Fan: How is that possible? Whitebeard is dead? Although he wasn't particularly strong, he still possessed the combat power of a peak-level Sea of ​​Wheels Realm cultivator. Who in the pirate world could kill him?]

[Han Li: Can group members die too? I thought...]

[Meng Qi: Holy crap! There are clearly many powerful figures in the group who are stronger than him, but Whitebeard didn't even have time to send out a distress signal. He was obviously killed instantly. He didn't believe he was going to die beforehand!]

……

Whether it was Lin Yuan and the other veteran members of the group, or Han Li and Yan Lingji and other new members, no one could accept the sudden death of Whitebeard.

You should know that although people subtly rejected him, at most they wanted to kick him out of the group; very few wanted him dead.

Moreover, although no one was willing to teach Whitebeard the Eastern cultivation system, preventing him from cultivating Ye Fan's Dao Scripture and Meng Qi's Eight-Nine Arcane Arts, the other party's basic cultivation resources never ceased. Even by purely accumulating physical strength, he reached a level equivalent to the peak of the Sea of ​​Wheels in the Shrouding the Heavens world.

Normally, with this kind of strength, even if he withstood a high-yield nuclear bomb, he would at most be seriously injured, and if all else fails, he could quickly leave the center of the damage. They really couldn't think of anything in the pirate world that could kill the opponent instantly!

[Zhang Zhiwei: Speculating here is pointless. I remember the chat group had a feature that showed what happened to members over a period of time. Why don't we use it to see how Whitebeard died?]

[Shi Hao: It seems like this needs to be initiated by Brother Lin Yuan.]

[Lin Yuan: Found it! Reflecting all realms!]

[Lin Yuan: This function will be initiated by a Level 1 administrator, approved by all Level 2 administrators, and then decided by a vote of the other group members. Only if more than 70% of the members approve it can the function be officially activated.]

"Ding! Level 1 Administrator Lin Yuan has initiated a request for the 'Reflecting All Realms' function. Other group members, please decide whether to approve or disapprove. Yes/No?"

Ye Fan: Yes!

Meng Qi: Yes!

……

All passed!

Everyone was very concerned about the circumstances of Whitebeard's death, not because they had a good relationship with him, but because they didn't want to die in such an inexplicable way. Gu Xun'er and Yan Lingji were especially concerned because their current strength was relatively weak, making them the most vulnerable people in the group.

……

After the entire Whitebeard Pirates used the Millennium Essence to strengthen themselves to their limits, they knew that they could no longer improve due to the loss of manpower. Therefore, they decided to give up waiting and directly declare war on the World Government.

Instead of launching a direct assault on Mary Geoise, they used their entire army as bait to challenge the enemy to a duel, ultimately choosing a large, uninhabited island in the New World as the battlefield.

The goal is singular: to eliminate all of the enemy's high-level combatants ahead of time, clearing the way for overthrowing the Celestial Dragons.

To guard against the legendary Heavenly King's underhanded tactics, the entire White Team sailed into the deep sea in a coated ship, only emerging from the water after confirming that the enemy had already landed on the island and formed ranks.

Whitebeard was certain that Im wouldn't dare use Uranus, because the opponent's top fighting force was all on this island, and the Celestial Dragons wouldn't risk losing all their foundations of rule just to kill him.

Upon arriving on the island, the arrival of the Navy, the World Government, and the Big Mom Pirates was not unexpected, but the arrival of Shanks surprised him.

"Gurararar, you brat from Roger's ship, are you going to get involved in this today? Aren't you afraid of losing your life here?!" Whitebeard roared, his Conqueror's Haki erupting fiercely.

Clang!

Six equally powerful Conqueror's Haki energies together withstood the Whitebeard's oppressive aura, and the two sides ultimately fought to a draw.

Strangely, while Sengoku and Garp of the Navy used Conqueror's Haki, the World Government, apart from the Supreme Commander Kong, did not react. Neither the three CP0 officers who served them nor the commander and captain of the Knights of God reacted. Even the two Five Elders who stood at the pinnacle of power did not use Conqueror's Haki!

"So strong!" Shanks' pupils constricted. He had briefly fought Whitebeard when he became one of the Four Emperors. At that time, although Whitebeard's Conqueror's Haki was also strong, it was definitely not as strong as his own. But now...

Once the clash of forces had completely subsided, he took a step forward, his voice as deep as the ocean: "Newgate, I came only to maintain the balance of the world. Give up your obsession with overthrowing the world, and I can guarantee your safe return."

"Protect me? Gurgling!" The white-bearded man turned to his sons, still pointing at him, and burst into laughter. "Did you all hear that, sons? This brat says he'll protect me!"

"Hahaha!"

"Hahaha!"

……

Marco and Vista behind him were laughing so hard they were doubled over, as if they had heard the biggest joke in the world.

"cough!"

The laughter subsided, and the white-bearded man coughed lightly. "You brat said you'd let me go? Why don't you ask the two Elders beside you? I think they're Saint Satan and Saint Peter. If you can get them to surrender with their teams, I'll leave immediately!"

Satan's massive, bull-like foot pounded through the rocks, its roar like thunder: "You traitorous pirates, how dare you covet the Celestial Dragons' power! Today, this island will be your final resting place!"

Shaking his head helplessly, Redhead knew that the conflict between the two sides was irreconcilable.

"But, in the end, I am..."

He didn't want to fight this war either, because there would be no real winner in the end. But his status dictated that he couldn't disobey the orders of the highest-ranking Celestial Dragons. Surely no one really thought that the identity chip could only determine the physical condition of a Celestial Dragon?

With his mind made up, Shanks drew his Griffin from his waist, the tip pointing directly at Whitebeard: "Then... let's fight!"
