[Ding! {Celestial Devourer} has joined the Multidimensional Chat Group.]
[Ding! {Celestial Devourer} has changed their name to {Yu Tian}.]
[Yu Tian: Hello everyone, it's been a long time.]
It had been a month since Shizu became Yu Tian's servant. During this month, Yu Tian had been preparing for the major events that would occur in the original story. However, the only significant event was the Profound God Convention, which was still three years away. For this reason, Yu Tian asked Karen to reinstate him in the chat group, something she was easily able to do since she was an Admin and had a special invitation reserved just for him.
As for the Wood Spirit Race, Yu Tian had sent a clone to them. He knew they would soon be betrayed by the Brahma Monarch God Realm and would flee to the Darkya Realm. His clone was prepared to guide them, as the Wood Spirit Race was extremely useful due to their deep connection to nature. Living in the Magatama Domain Pearl was perfect for them, as it contained many rare and powerful herbs that required careful attention.
[Yun Yun: Welcome back. It's been almost a year, and we were very worried about you after you suddenly left the group.]
[Yueru: I agree with Sister Yun Yun. We were very concerned, but fortunately, Karen was there to reassure us.]
[Zhu Zhuqing: Welcome back, Brother Tian.]
[Yu Tian: Sorry for worrying you all. Everything happened so suddenly, and I wasn't prepared, so I couldn't inform you about anything.]
Of course, Yu Tian was lying. He felt it would be too troublesome to explain what had happened, so he left the group without telling them anything.
[Yu Tian: I see there are new members, so let me introduce myself. My name is Yu Tian, and I hope we get along well.]
[Ning Yudie: Welcome back. I've heard a lot about you from Karen and the others. I'm Ning Yudie, and I joined the chat group right after you left. I hope we get along well.]
Ning Yudie was the Lord of Cloud Temple, and her status was no less than Yun Yun's. She had joined the chat group after Yu Tian left and had often heard the members mention him, which made her very curious about him.
[Yu Tian: It's nice to meet you, Yudie. You can call me Yu Tian, as everyone does, or even Brother Yu or Brother Tian. I don't mind any title as long as you're comfortable using it.]
[Yudie: Then I'll call you Yu Tian, and you can call me Yudie or Die'er, as everyone does.]
[Lin Ming: I'll go next. My name is Lin Ming. I'm very happy to be able to talk to you, as I've heard a lot about you and have been eager to speak with you.]
[Yu Tian: It's an honor to meet you, Lin Ming. I'm happy to talk with you anytime.]
When Yu Tian had spoken with Karen earlier, she had told him about the new members, and these two were among them. Yu Tian recognized them—Yudie was from a novel called Apotheosis, while Lin Ming was the protagonist of Martial World.
As for the last person, they were from the world of one of the members. Yu Tian was surprised by their addition to the chat group but was also pleased. Given the new member's status, they could mess with the protagonist of their world, as the new member was the ultimate villain in their story.
[Bibi Dong: It seems I'm the last to introduce myself. My name is Bibi Dong, and I am the Supreme Pontiff. I'm from the same world as Zhuqing. You can call me whatever you like.]
Bibi Dong's message was brief and cold. It was clear she was distant with everyone, especially since it had only been a month since she joined the chat group and learned about her fate from Karen. Unfortunately, despite her attempts to eliminate Tang San over the past month, she had failed every time. In fact, he only grew stronger with each encounter.
Not only that, but she also discovered that the love of her life, Yu Xiaogang, had been helping Tang San despite knowing about the enmity between her and Tang Hao. Even worse, according to Karen, Yu Xiaogang did nothing when Tang San killed her and even helped him destroy Spirit Hall.
This news was devastating for Bibi Dong. She tried to deny it, but after a month of attempting to eliminate Tang San, she realized that Yu Xiaogang preferred his beloved disciple over her.
[Yu Tian: I've heard about you from Karen, and I think we'll get along well, as I'm also the ultimate villain in my world.]
Yu Tian was very interested in Bibi Dong, and it wasn't just because of her beauty. He was curious if he could artificially create Evil Fate, and Bibi Dong was perfect for this role.
[Ding! A new Quest has been issued for the chat group.]
[Quest: Killing The Evil Dragon]
[Participants: Three people (including people from the quest world)]
[Reward: 2000 points, one random reward]
[System Note: Time in the original world will stop when everyone enters the quest.]
[Countdown: Before the start of the Four God's Countries martial arts tournament.]
"..." Yu Tian stared at the chat group notification, not expecting to receive a Quest immediately after returning to the group.
[Yu Tian: Apologies to everyone, but I'd like to participate in this Quest.]
It had been a while since Yu Tian participated in a quest in another world, so he was a little excited, especially since he knew the quest world was the world of Apotheosis, which had an extremely high power level.
[Karen: This Quest is mine and Qing'er's, but since my husband wants to participate, I'll give up my spot. This means the participants will be my husband, Qing'er, and Die'er, who is from the quest world.]
[Karen: Any objections?]
After the number of members increased, a system for quest participation was established. While Karen had the right to participate in all quests, other members took turns participating depending on the number of allowed participants.
However, there were always exceptions, especially when a Quest was extremely difficult. In such cases, the strongest members were chosen. But with Yu Tian present, Karen didn't need to worry, as she knew his strength well—or at least she thought she did, since his power had grown significantly after his year-long disappearance.
[Lin Ming: No objections here. I participated in the last Quest.]
[Yun Yun: +1]
[Yueru: +1]
[Bibi Dong: I have no objections, as I'll be participating in the next Quest.]
[Karen: Then it's decided. Is everyone ready to accept the Quest?]
[Zhuqing: I'm ready to embark on the quest anytime.]
[Yudie: +1]
[Yu Tian: +1]
[Karen: Since there are no objections, I'll accept the Quest. Also, don't forget to use the live broadcast feature to watch the quest later. It will help everyone get an idea of the quest type, evaluate the members' strength, and identify anything they might need to become stronger.]
Seeing that there were no objections or further comments from the members, Karen didn't hesitate to accept the Quest. Time froze completely, even for her, as Yu Tian and Zhuqing disappeared from their worlds.
