Chapter 3: Tang San: I am also a transmigrator!

【Xiao Yan: You’re talking about the butterfly effect, right? I understand that, but I still have to thank you. With this novel, *Battle Through the Heavens*, as a reference, I will definitely be able to avoid many detours in the future. By the way, if you ever need anything from me, just say the word. As long as it’s within my power, I, Xiao Yan, will never say 'no'.】

Xiao Yan had just confessed everything to Yao Lao, including the existence of this chat group.

Yao Lao was deeply moved by this, so he no longer hid his own identity from him.

After receiving confirmation from Yao Lao, Xiao Yan had already developed a sense of trust in Zhu Chen.

He was very grateful that Zhu Chen had told him all of this.

However, he had nothing to repay Zhu Chen with for the time being, so he could only make a promise.

【Zhu Chen: It was just a small favor, Brother Xiao Yan, you’re being too polite. But to be honest, you will be an Emperor-grade alchemist in the future, so perhaps I really will have a use for you one day.】

Zhu Chen wasn't just flattering Xiao Yan when he said this.

The profession of an alchemist is highly sought after; it’s a hot commodity in any world.

There is alchemy in the Perfect World as well, so it’s possible he might really go to Xiao Yan for pills in the future.

【Xiao Yan: No problem! Just say the word when the time comes, and I’ll refine them for you immediately!】

Xiao Yan’s attitude at this moment deeply touched the others in the group.

They had all just received the novel text uploaded by Zhu Chen. Now that Xiao Yan had made a promise to Zhu Chen to show his gratitude, how could they pretend to be oblivious?

【Lin Dong: Brother Zhu Chen, I’m not as capable as Brother Xiao and don’t know alchemy, but I’m good at fighting. If you ever need someone to fight for you in the future, I’ll be there whenever you call.】

【Wang Lin: Cultivation emphasizes cause and effect. Fellow Daoist Zhu, I will keep this favor in mind and will certainly repay it in the future!】

【Han Li: Same here for me.】

Everyone expressed their gratitude to Zhu Chen one after another.

This caught Zhu Chen by surprise.

He had only spent a little time sending over some novel texts, never expecting to harvest so many favors from protagonists of various planes.

Although the worlds of Xiao Yan and Lin Dong weren't strong yet, they would both eventually go to the Great Thousand World, where their combat power would further increase.

They might not be able to help much with the Dark Turmoil, but in the Battle of the Borderlands, they would definitely be a great help!

Especially Xiao Yan; his alchemy skills, even when placed in other planes, were not to be underestimated.

As for Han Li and Wang Lin, that went without saying.

These two were super big shots in the cultivation world.

The former was the Dao Ancestor of Time; after comprehending the origin of chaos, he could even cut through the river of time and return to the past.

The latter was even more ruthless, daring to fight even the Heavenly Dao.

Their combat power was by no means inferior to experts at the Immortal King level.

They might even be able to clash with Quasi-Immortal Emperors.

Of course, it was too early to talk about that.

The most important thing right now was to determine the strength and cultivation levels of these people.

【Zhu Chen: Everyone, this chat group has a world-traversing function. If you encounter trouble in the future, you can provide cross-world assistance. However, the world levels and cultivation realms you are in are different. To avoid a situation where you provide help only to be killed because you aren't strong enough, could you all disclose your current cultivation levels?】

【Lin Dong: I have just stepped into the Body Tempering Stage and might not be able to help you yet. But rest assured, I have already awakened the Heavenly Demon Marten inside the talisman stone ahead of schedule. With its help, my cultivation will surely advance by leaps and bounds in the future!】

【Xiao Yan: Is the Body Tempering Stage considered strong where you are?】

【Lin Dong: There are 13 cultivation realms in my world, and the Body Tempering Stage is just the first step. Please don't laugh at me, Brother Xiao.】

【Xiao Yan: Not at all, not at all. Speaking of which, I have also just stepped into the Dou Zhe realm.】

【Lin Dong: Could it be that the Dou Zhe realm is also the first step of cultivation on your side?】

【Xiao Yan: That’s not it. The first step of cultivation here is condensing Dou Qi; Dou Zhe is considered the second step.】

Lin Dong and Xiao Yan hit it off immediately, and the two quickly confessed their respective cultivation levels in the group.

Seeing that Lin Dong was just a rookie who had just started cultivating, Tang San’s eyes flashed with a look of disdain.

【Tang San: @Lin Dong, you were talking so arrogantly just now, I thought you were a titan in your own world. I didn't expect you to be just a rookie who just started cultivating.】

【Tang San: Judging by your tone, could it be that you are already a titan in your own world?】

【Tang San: A titan might be an exaggeration, but the strongest cultivation realm in my world is reaching godhood at level 100, and I am already a level 33 Soul Grandmaster. Furthermore, like Xiao Yan, I am also a transmigrator. Before I transmigrated, I was the strongest in another world. I could replicate supreme hidden weapons that even inner sect elders couldn't make just by taking a glance at them!】

The *Douluo Dalu* that Zhu Chen uploaded earlier was only the first part, so Tang San didn't know about the realms above godhood yet.

Seeing that Tang San was also a transmigrator, Xiao Yan couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.

【Xiao Yan: A fellow countryman meeting another, tears welling in our eyes. Brother Tang, I didn't expect you to be a transmigrator too. Tell me, what year did you transmigrate from?】

【Tang San: What year?】

【Xiao Yan: You know, what year in the Common Era? When you transmigrated, had Hong Kong returned to China? Did the national football team make it into the World Cup top 48? Did the Rockets beat the Lakers?】

【Tang San: I don't know what you're talking about...】

【Xiao Yan: Damn, you don't even know about the national football team or the NBA? And you have the nerve to call yourself a transmigrator?】

【Tang San: Unreasonable.】

Tang San grumbled and closed the chat group.

He had transmigrated from a martial arts world to the Douluo Continent, while Xiao Yan had transmigrated from the modern Blue Star!

Their past lives were not in the same world at all.

So how could Tang San possibly understand the information Xiao Yan was talking about?

"Body Tempering, Dou Zhe, Soul Grandmaster... why are the cultivation levels of these three guys so low? It seems they won't be able to help much when the Seven Gods descend to the lower realm..."

Looking at the chat content between Xiao Yan and the others, Zhu Chen couldn't help but sigh.

Although the cultivation systems of Xiao Yan and Lin Dong progressed rapidly, it would still take them more than a decade to reach the supreme realm.

And there was less than eight years left before the Three Thousand Dao Provinces harvested the lower eight regions.

If these two didn't reach the highest realm of their worlds, their help to him would be negligible.

"Wait..."

Suddenly, Zhu Chen’s eyes flickered as he thought of something.

Lin Dong just said he had awakened the Heavenly Demon Marten hidden in the stone talisman ahead of schedule.

In that case, because of his intervention, the plot of *Wu Dong Qian Kun* had clearly been accelerated.

Just as Xiao Yan said earlier, after getting their scripts, they would definitely be able to avoid many detours in their cultivation.

It was possible that these two could really reach the levels of Martial Ancestor and Flame Emperor within eight years.

As for that Tang San...

Forget it.

This guy was just here to make up the numbers.

Let him stay in the group as a source of amusement!
