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

"Xiao Meng?" Zhang Zhiwei woke up with a start, and Lin Yuan also frowned deeply: "Are you sure it's Meng Qi and not Han Li?"

The other group members looked bewildered, not understanding why they were all so alarmed just because Meng Qi was coming to the party.

Ye Fan didn't waste any words and posted a screenshot in the group.

"Ding! Group member Meng Qi has requested to use the cross-world teleportation function to your world. Do you agree? Yes/No?"

"It really is Junior Brother Meng!" Old Zhang's face was full of solemnity: "Meng Qi is definitely in great danger. He is very likely being controlled by someone right now."

"Okay!" Lin Yuan nodded, then turned to Xun'er, Yan Lingji and the others who looked nervous: "You guys don't need to rush back to your respective worlds. Just stay here for now and leave after everything is completely resolved."

Yan Lingji had no objection at all. Her home was destroyed when Baiyue was destroyed, so living in Qin or living in another world made no difference to her.

The same applies to Yanfei and Zinu behind her. Before the First Emperor established the concept of unification, people's sense of family and country was relatively weak, especially those from the Yin-Yang School, such as Yue Shen and Da Siming, who regarded their respective sects as their home.

"This..." Xun'er couldn't accept it calmly. She couldn't stay here for several years without going back. If she did, all of Dou Qi Continent's backup plans would be ruined. Her father would even take the time to train a new character and raise another divine bloodline.

She hurriedly asked, "Brother Lin Yuan, what exactly happened? Why are you all so worried?"

Instead of offering a direct explanation, the other party asked a seemingly unrelated question: "You've seen all of Meng Qi's memory copies, right?"

"Yes." Both of them nodded to indicate that they had seen it.

"That memory copy has been edited!" Lin Yuan said in a deep voice. "To a true powerhouse from the other shore, the moment you think of him, he will already sense it."

Therefore, to avoid having his brain ripped out, Lin Yuan used code names when mentioning the powerful figures from the other side of the world of "A World Worthy of Honor" in the group chat when Meng Qi was online.

"Brother Lin Yuan, do you mean that Meng Qi has been captured by the powerful beings from the other side?" Xun'er has always been more intelligent than ordinary people, and she immediately guessed the key point.

"That's right!" Ye Fan interjected, "In that world, there are two powerful beings from the other shore who have been watching Meng Qi. One is the Demon Buddha Ananda, who is currently being suppressed and is not considered a threat. The other is a true peak powerhouse, the Supreme Pure Moral Celestial Venerable!"

"Is it the one who ultimately succeeded in subtracting and emptying in the story, the one who attained the Trinity... the one who attained the Dao Fruit?" Yan Lingji's eyes widened, and she stammered in shock.

"It really is him."

Lin Yuan picked up the thread and continued to explain: "Before Meng Qi attained the legendary status, he did not have the ability to create clones. Therefore, he could only secretly attend the group's gatherings when he reached the realm of 'One Self Across Myriad Realms.' He had clearly stated before that he would not come."

"But now he's contacting Ye Fan alone, which is clearly telling us that something is wrong. It's highly likely that Laozi said or did something to him, but we know nothing about it."

Zhang Zhiwei couldn't help but interject, "If the Celestial Venerable promises to cover for Junior Brother Meng, that's fine. But I'm afraid the other party might want to do something through Meng Qi. What if they want to use this opportunity to locate the coordinates of other group members' worlds? That would be troublesome."

Facing the Supreme Deity of Taoism, the Moral Celestial Venerable, one could not overstate his abilities. Old Zhang was genuinely afraid that he would be taken to the Tushita Palace for tea as soon as he returned.

Although becoming an immortal is his lifelong wish, he hasn't achieved it yet, so there's no need to rush to meet the big shots.

"Heh~" Old Zhang chuckled bitterly, "Now that I think about it, the reason Han Li hasn't arrived yet is very likely because this future Time Dao Ancestor sensed the danger and habitually protected us in front of him."

"That's typical of him!" Lin Yuan sighed and rubbed his forehead. "But not even sending a warning message, Han Li really went too far this time."

"What should we do now?" Realizing the seriousness of the situation, Xun'er stopped talking about rushing back, but the worry on her face never disappeared.

"Let's wait!" he replied casually, then his mind became completely absorbed in the chat group page.

[Lin Yuan: @Meng Qi, is something really wrong with Xiao Meng? How many Qing people are around you now?]

The chat group is the biggest protective umbrella. Even if they are in the world of "Covering the Sky", Ye Fan's main account and the Desolate Emperor will still be there to shield them. Asking directly is the safest and most appropriate option.

Meng Qi: Three!

"Holy crap!" he exclaimed inwardly. "Even the Primordial Beginning, who created the world, and the two Heavenly Venerables Lingbao, who symbolize the end of the calamity, are here. They should be trying to minimize their presence at this time in order to achieve emptiness. But now they're directly interrogating Meng Qi with the Three Pure Ones. This is definitely not a friendly move!"

[Lin Yuan: Do you need us to find a way to save you? I remember those three big shots were your benefactors.]

Meng Qi: No.

[Lin Yuan: I wonder what the Celestial Venerables intend to do? If it is to harm us, even if we are accused of being disloyal, we will have no choice but to abandon Xiao Meng.]

"Trying to control minds, huh!" Lin Yuan thought to himself. "Xiao Meng's thoughts are definitely being guided right now. I just don't know if those big shots are too lazy to pretend or if there's some other reason why they're not hiding anything at all."

"Trying to control minds, huh!" Lin Yuan thought to himself. "Xiao Meng's thoughts are definitely being guided right now. I just don't know if those big shots are too lazy to pretend or if there's some other reason why they're not hiding anything at all."

Meng Qiren is rather mischievous, and not the kind of person who is ruthless and doesn't talk much. His aloof response with that single word had completely exposed the other party's identity.

And if it really was him, he would have already started cursing at his second question.

[Meng Qi: Brother Lin, help! This time it really is me!]

"It seems Xiao Meng has been given a certain degree of freedom; otherwise, even if the Celestial Venerable controlled him to call me 'brother,' I'd probably have already exploded into a cloud of blood mist!"

People are divided into different ranks. Lin Yuan once read a novel in which there was a unique skill called the Three Bows of the Underworld King. The principle behind it was to use the special rank of the Underworld King to cause the opponent to suffer a shortened lifespan, serious injury, or even death through bowing.

Aside from the fact that the user must kneel before activating the spell and that a deity must be willing to allow the caster to be so humiliated, this move is virtually invincible in that world. Unless the opponent is a reincarnation of a deity of equally high status, it is always effective.

[Lin Yuan: I'll say it again, there's no saving him, just wait to die!]

Ye Fan: Junior brother, if you don't reveal the Celestial Venerable's true purpose, we can't determine what we can do to help you.

[Meng Qi: Fellow Daoists, please don't be nervous. We only invited Zhang Zhiwei to be our guest and to take care of some business here. We have no ill intentions.]

Well, Meng Qi has been locked in the dark room again!

[Zhang Zhiwei: May I ask what business the venerable sages have with me? I will certainly not refuse to help if I can, but I would appreciate it if you could treat my junior brother Meng kindly.]

Old Zhang was also apprehensive, but since the other party had specifically named him, he had no choice but to step forward. After all, in the world of Shrouding the Heavens, the Desolate Heavenly Emperor and the future Ye Hei could protect them, but they couldn't stay here forever, could they?

We must at least wait for him to pass on the Celestial Master's teachings; otherwise, if Longhu Mountain were to lose its lineage because of him, his sin would be immense.

So, we always have to find a way to solve things...

[Meng Qi: I have seen your deeds in his memory. In this degenerate age, you were still able to embark on the true path of cultivation with your innate talent. Your character and aptitude are both top-notch. Therefore, I would like to invite you to receive my inheritance. Just give it a try. If you fail, I will not force you.]

boom!

This reply struck Zhang Zhiwei like a thunderbolt.

Who is the other party? One of the Three Pure Ones, the true supreme deity of Taoism. Would such a person accept me as his successor?

[Zhang Zhiwei: Are you the Moral Celestial? Why did you choose me?]

Old Zhang wasn't blinded by the surprise. He considered himself just an ordinary old Taoist priest on Longhu Mountain who had just condensed his elixir and reached the minimum standard for ascension. Compared with many enlightened masters in history, he was insignificant. It was hard for him to understand why the other party would go to such lengths to choose him, a person from another world, instead of them.

[Meng Qi: You all know about the method of subtraction to seek emptiness, and you should also understand that our ultimate leap of the Trinity is extremely risky, especially since all cause and effect are borne by Meng Qi through the inversion of the original cause. Even the slightest change can cause a violent storm in the future. This process will be difficult to replicate after his experience has changed.]

[Meng Qi: We are unable to remove the chat group deep within his soul to bring him back on track, and it is no longer possible for one person to bear the karma of three beings. Therefore, we must seek change. Lingbao and I must cultivate a successor to inherit the karma in the remaining time.]

[Meng Qi: Furthermore, in order to increase the success rate of shorting, we must reduce our own presence, so we have no choice but to select people from outside the circle...]

After the explanation, although there was no emotional fluctuation when they spoke, everyone in the group could feel their anger between the lines.

Originally, everything was going smoothly in the process of reducing emptiness, and they were just waiting for Meng Qi to grow up so that they could make the final leap. However, they were not careful and the Dao Beacon was pulled into a broken group. They secretly checked for a long time and found that it could no longer bear all the cause and effect. They could only frustratingly cultivate the extraterrestrial demon!

Being able to personally meet the Celestial Venerable is something countless cultivators dream of. Moreover, Zhang Zhiwei's path was cut off after reaching the True Core stage. Now he is cultivating the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts Opening Chapter while comprehending the Original True Explanation, attempting to open a method suitable for himself. However, without a teacher, he ultimately faces great difficulties.

Therefore, after discussing with everyone, especially after hearing Lin Yuan say that there was no higher-level world for ascension in the Under One Person world, he gradually made a decision.

[Zhang Zhiwei: Master, please accept my bow!]

No sooner had he finished speaking than Old Zhang, who was standing next to Lin Yuan and the others, vanished, a scene of terror comparable to a large-scale ghost story.

Wow, what a good night's sleep! The little baby, just awakened, witnessed this scene and rubbed his eyes in shock, exclaiming, "A magic trick! A person appeared out of nowhere!"

At this moment, Lin Yuan's arm was being held and shaken repeatedly. It was Yan Lingji: "My lord, has the matter been resolved?"

He replied uncertainly, "Probably!"

Hearing her say that, Xun'er couldn't help but chime in, "Me too! Before, I could read through the Dao Scripture and Wheel Sea scroll that Brother Ye Fan gave me until it was worn out, but I still couldn't feel the Sea of ​​Bitterness. But this time, in just half a day, according to the cultivation levels in the Shrouding the Heavens world, I've already become a Life Spring cultivator!"

"I see." Lin Yuan looked thoughtfully at the little one who had picked up another can of Beast Milk to drink. "It must be the Desolate Heavenly Emperor exerting his power. It's a benefit that Shi Hao is giving us."

The other party's main account might be watching this place, so he stopped calling himself "Baby" and gave the Desolate Emperor some face.

Unfortunately, after breaking through to immortality, his body had completely transformed into a divine body; otherwise, he would have also experienced the Sea of ​​Bitterness and been able to open up another cultivation system.

Without further thought, Lin Yuan said to them in a deep voice, "Since that's the case, then you can stay a little longer and use this time to cultivate diligently. I will accompany Ye Fan to Zishan later and leave a spaceship as your temporary residence. Take good care of yourselves."

"Okay, thank you, Brother Lin Yuan."

[Ye Fan: @Meng Qi, I'm allowing the Celestial Venerable to do something that won't have a huge impact on the world of Shrouding the Heavens. I hope the Celestial Venerable will also grant me this favor.]

There's another person searching for the successor. Did they blockade everyone in the Shrouding Heaven Realm just for Senior Brother Zhang? Perhaps the half-fallen Lingbao Heavenly Venerable of this realm was also their target. Only now has everything been completely resolved.
