Humans, starting with chat groups, rampage across the heavens.

Chapter 71: A Big Gathering of Group Members!

"Brother Lu Chen!"

Just as Lu Chen and Qi Lin were chatting, another portal appeared in the room, and Huang Rong came out and came to Lu Chen's side, protectively taking his arm.

"You must be Rong'er, you're so pretty!"

Qi Lin, who was a bit oblivious to matters of the heart, didn't see through Huang Rong's intentions at all and greeted her with a smile.

"Sister Qilin is very pretty too!"

Huang Rong said with a smile.

After just a few words, Huang Rong and Qi Lin were already arm in arm like best friends.

"By the way, Rong'er, your name is exactly the same as the heroine in a martial arts novel I read before, and even your personality is similar."

Qi Lin spoke up.

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen burst out laughing, and Huang Rong also wore a mischievous smile.

"What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"

Qi Lin looked at Lu Chen with a puzzled expression and asked.

"Is it possible that she is actually Huang Rong from the novel you read?"

Lu Chen chuckled and spoke.

"What?"

Qi Lin exclaimed in surprise, looking at Huang Rong with a face full of astonishment, "Rong'er, are you Huang Rong?"

Huang Rong smiled mischievously and said, "If you're talking about the Huang Rong who lives on Peach Blossom Island, then that's me!"

"what!"

"I actually saw Huang Rong in person!"

Qi Lin cried out in surprise and rushed forward to hug Huang Rong tightly.

"Rong'er, I used to adore you when I read your books, I never imagined I'd actually meet you in person!"

"I'm so excited!"

"Hey, what's going on?"

Just then, another portal appeared. Xu Qi'an walked out of the portal and looked at Qi Lin, who was holding Huang Rong and screaming, and asked with a face full of curiosity.

"Fan meeting".

Lu Chen said with a smile.

Xu Qi'an nodded knowingly, then came to Lu Chen's side and complained, "Oh dear, I almost didn't make it."

"Princess Lin'an, for some reason, suddenly came to chat with me, and it was quite a struggle to get her to leave."

"Alright, stop pretending. If you want to show off, wait until Huo Huo comes over and then show him."

Lu Chen saw through Xu Qi'an's pretense at a glance and interrupted him mercilessly.

"hey-hey!"

Exposed by Lu Chen, Xu Qi'an chuckled shamelessly, then looked around and asked, "Why isn't Huo Huo here yet?"

As soon as he finished speaking, another portal appeared, but the person who walked out was not Xiao Yan, but a handsome young man.

Upon seeing the man appear, Lu Chen and Xu Qi'an's eyes lit up, and they greeted him, "This must be Brother Zheng, right?"

"Greetings, gentlemen!"

Ying Zheng also spoke with a smile.

Xu Qi'an walked forward with a smile, pulled Ying Zheng to the window, pointed outside and showed off, saying, "Brother Zheng, look, you are what you look like more than two thousand years later in your world."

Ying Zheng stared at the skyscrapers and bustling traffic across the street, stunned and speechless.

At this moment, two more gates of light appeared simultaneously, and three people walked out of one of them: Xiao Yan, Gu Yuan, and Xiao Xun'er.

Upon hearing Xiao Yan say that he was going to take her father to other worlds, Xiao Xun'er couldn't suppress her curiosity and came along.

From another portal of light, a handsome young man emerged.

"what?"

"So you're the arrogant lady from the Spirit Hall? Why are you a guy?"

Upon seeing Qian Renxue appear, Xu Qi'an exclaimed in surprise.

Xiao Yan and Huang Rong also cast strange glances at them.

"It's a girl, but she's using a clever disguise technique."

At this moment, Gu Yuan, who had come with Xiao Yan, glanced at Qian Renxue and said in a low voice.

Then Gu Yuan turned to Lu Chen and greeted him, "Young friend Lu, we meet again."

"Thank you, Chief Gu, for coming to help."

Lu Chen thanked him.

"Of course."

"I must thank you, young friend Lu, for the information you sent me a few days ago. Otherwise, my ancient clan would have suffered heavy losses someday."

Gu Yuan spoke in a low voice, his tone carrying a hint of anger.

When Gu Yuan received the message from Xiao Xun'er a few days ago, even he, as experienced as he was, was greatly surprised.

If someone else had told him this, Gu Yuan would never have believed it, but since the news came from Lu Chen, Gu Yuan had no choice but to believe it, even if he didn't want to.

Later, after Gu Yuan's investigation, it turned out that what Lu Chen said was true: the real Gu Yang no longer existed, and the current Gu Yang was just a Soul Clan member with the body of the Gu Yang.

Having made preparations, Gu Yuan certainly wouldn't let Gu Yang escape like in the original story, and directly killed him on the spot with lightning speed.

Enraged, Gu Yuan stormed the Soul Realm, seeking an explanation from the Soul Emperor.

The matter was naturally dropped.

After all, besides the Soul Emperor, the Soul Clan also has Void Devouring Flame, who possesses the strength of a nine-star Dou Sheng.

Unable to gain any advantage, Gu Yuan could only angrily return to the ancient clan.

Then Gu Yuan directly summoned the patriarchs of the other eight ancient clans, and it was at this time that he learned that the Spirit Clan had been wiped out by the Soul Clan at some unknown time.

The news caused an uproar among the ancient tribe and other tribes.

Although they had long known that the Soul Clan was powerful, they never expected it to be this powerful.

For a moment, the patriarchs of the Thunder Clan, Flame Clan, Medicine Clan, and other clans were filled with shock and fear.

Without Gu Yuan needing to summon them, they all gathered in the Ancient Realm to discuss the matter of jointly resisting the Soul Clan.

After some negotiations, the various clans formed an alliance to defend each other and prevent being defeated one by one by the Soul Clan.

This situation further intensified Gu Yuan's desire to break through to the Dou Di realm.

Therefore, after receiving the message from Xiao Xun'er today, Gu Yuan rushed to the Xiao family.

When Gu Yuan heard that Xiao Yan was going to take him to other worlds, he was even more shocked.

From the fact that Xiao Yan was able to get to know Lu Chen and others, Gu Yuan knew that Xiao Yan must have obtained some kind of opportunity. But Gu Yuan never expected that the opportunity Xiao Yan obtained would be so amazing that he could ignore the world barrier and go directly to other worlds.

Gu Yuan naturally had no reason to refuse.

Lu Chen looked at him and spoke again, "Clan Chief Gu, first sense how much of your strength you can unleash in this world?"

Gu Yuan sensed it for a moment, then said, "Although the spiritual energy in this world is slightly different from that in the Dou Qi Continent, the difference is not significant."

"However, I sensed that there seems to be a strange alternate dimension in this world, and in this alternate dimension, there exists a very special kind of energy."

After listening to Gu Yuan's words, Lu Chen nodded slightly and asked in a slow voice, "This alternate dimension is called the Dark Dimension by the people of this world, and that kind of energy is called Dark Energy. The strong people of this world rely on this Dark Energy to possess powerful destructive force."

"Could the ancient patriarch seal off a region of space, preventing the people within from drawing upon the dark energy of the dark dimension?"

"That's easy."

Gu Yuan nodded confidently in response.

Hearing Gu Yuan's answer, Lu Chen was truly relieved.

The technological power of this world is truly remarkable. Whether it's angels or demons, they all possess the ability to destroy the earth's surface or even wipe out planets.

Even with Gu Yuan's strength, he could destroy the surface of the earth with some effort, but he was still far from destroying a planet.

However, the destructive power of angels and demons ultimately relies on external energy, which is fundamentally different from the power of cultivators like Lu Chen and Gu Yuan, who attribute their great power to themselves.

Once the energy supply from the Dark Dimension is lost, Keisha and Morgana's combat power will be even weaker than Lu Chen's current level. As for the weaker angels and demons, they would be easy prey for Lu Chen.

"Young friend Lu, the deal you mentioned—"

Gu Yuan, completely lacking the composure expected of a clan leader, spoke with some urgency.

"Chief Gu, please don't worry, we'll discuss this in detail later."

Lu Chen smiled and waved his hand, then turned to Qi Lin and said, "Comrade Qi Lin, the organization is about to assign you a difficult task!"

"Please speak, sir. Qi Lin guarantees to complete the mission!"

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Qi Lin, who reacted quickly, immediately saluted and replied.

But as soon as I finished speaking, I couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"This daunting task is—to take us out to eat."

Lu Chen spoke in a serious voice.

"No problem, what would you gentlemen like to eat?"

Qi Lin forced back her laughter and asked, feigning seriousness.

"I know you probably don't have much money on you, so I won't let you spend too much. Just treat us to some barbecue skewers."

Lu Chen spoke with a faint smile.

"Mission accomplished!"

"I know a really authentic barbecue skewer restaurant nearby; I used to go there often after get off work!"

Qi Lin confidently patted her chest and said.

Then, led by Qi Lin, Lu Chen and his group moved from the hotel to a barbecue restaurant.

The freshly grilled skewers were served, and Gu Yuan, Ying Zheng, and Qian Renxue, who had never eaten anything like this before, were immediately attracted by the rich aroma.

Xiao Yan and Xu Qi'an didn't hold back at all, grabbing a handful of lamb skewers and starting to eat them right away.

Of course, before eating, Xiao Yan remembered to give Xiao Xun'er a portion first.

After Lu Chen and Xiao Yan started eating, the others also stopped being reserved.

Of course, you can't eat grilled skewers without beer.

The group of people who were drinking beer for the first time all frowned repeatedly, stimulated by the unique taste of beer.

And so, the first big gathering after the new members joined the group was held at this barbecue restaurant.

After a meal and drinks, everyone got to know each other much better. Even Ying Zheng and Qian Renxue, who were usually quiet, started to blend in with the group.

Lu Chen downed the wine in his glass in one gulp, looked up at Qian Renxue sitting opposite him, and said with a faint smile, "We've met for so long, aren't you going to show us your true face?"

"You don't actually think that just because you're in this form, I won't know your true identity, Qian Renxue, the little princess of the Spirit Hall?"

Hearing Lu Chen call out her name, Qian Renxue was no longer surprised.

From chatting in the group to meeting in person, Lu Chen has shown so many surprising things that Qian Renxue has gotten used to it.

After Lu Chen spoke, Qian Renxue stopped hiding and waved her hand to dispel her disguise.

"Wow!"

"Wow, this arrogant girl is actually so beautiful!"

Upon seeing Qian Renxue's true appearance, Xu Qi'an's eyes widened in surprise.

With an unparalleled beauty, skin as white as snow, long golden hair cascading down her back, and a pair of golden eyes that exuded a unique allure, she possessed a distinctive angelic mark between her brows and radiated an aura of nobility and holiness.

If we only consider appearance, Qian Renxue, Huang Rong, and Xiao Xun'er are all quite similar in their own way. However, Qian Renxue has a special kind of temperament that easily arouses a desire to conquer her.

Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment when he saw Qian Renxue's appearance, and then he received a loving twisting force from Xiao Xun'er.

Xiao Yan winced in pain, but dared not utter a sound.

"Exactly! She's so good-looking, yet she pretends to be a man every day. Isn't that a waste of resources?"

Lu Chen looked Qian Renxue up and down with an appreciative expression.

"Yeah, Sister Qian Renxue is so beautiful, why would she disguise herself as a man?"

Huang Rong asked out of curiosity.

"In order to carry out a mission."

Qian Renxue explained softly.

"He's an undercover agent."

After taking a bite of the kebab, Lu Chen curled his lip and said, "If you ask me, your undercover plan is pure idiocy."

"With your talent, if you hadn't been held back by this undercover mission all these years, you would have been a Title Douluo by now."

"Unlike now, I'm still stuck in the Soul Emperor realm, which is a complete waste."

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Qian Renxue's expression changed slightly. She bit her lip lightly but did not speak.

In fact, over the years, Qian Renxue had regretted her decision, but she was unwilling to give up the mission and return to the Spirit Hall. She felt that she would definitely be looked down upon by that woman if she did.

"A Titled Douluo?"

"What a strange name!"

Xu Qi'an continued.

Lu Chen smiled and explained, "This is the realm division of her world. Every ten levels form a realm, from lowest to highest: Soul Warrior, Soul Master, Great Soul Master, Soul Venerable, Soul Sect Master, Soul King, Soul Emperor, Soul Saint, Soul Douluo, and Titled Douluo."

"Title Douluo is further subdivided into several realms, and then there is the God-level realm, but I won't go into details."

"Hmm, this realm division is a bit similar to Huo Huo's world."

Xu Qi'an looked up and sized up Qian Renxue, then said, "However, her strength is much weaker."

"Brother Lu just said that Sister Aojiao is a Soul Emperor? I feel that Sister Aojiao's strength, if placed in Huo Huo's world, would only be that of a Great Dou Shi, right?"

"You're right."

Lu Chen chuckled and said, "The combat power in her world is indeed relatively weak. Let alone Title Douluo, even the so-called gods in the God Realm are just so-so."

"Any Dou Zun could roam freely inside."
