Chapter 2: Total Spoilers, Today is a Confession Session!

【Xiao Yan: Damn, you are actually the group leader!】

Although Xiao Yan was extremely unconvinced, seeing that his messages could be retracted by Zhu Chen at will, he had no choice but to accept his fate.

It seems that there are levels to this "protagonist" destiny!

Even though he was the Son of Destiny in the *Battle Through the Heavens* plane and a transmigrator to boot, he still couldn't sit on the throne of the group leader.

Presumably, this guy named Zhu Chen must be superior to him in every aspect to be able to occupy this position.

【Lin Dong: Since you are the group leader, did you create this chat group?】

【Zhu Chen: No, I am merely the initiator, not the creator.】

【Lin Dong: Then who created this chat group?】

【Zhu Chen: The System!】

【Lin Dong: The System? What kind of thing is that?】

【Zhu Chen: Simply put, it is the "golden finger" for us protagonists. For example, the stone talisman in your hand, or Xiao Yan’s soul power that surpasses ordinary people and the ring containing Yao Lao’s soul body—these all belong to the category of golden fingers!】

As soon as these words were spoken, both Lin Dong and Xiao Yan widened their eyes.

These items in their possession were top-secret; even their closest kin were unaware of them.

They never expected the group leader of this chat group to know them so clearly.

Could it be that this person possessed heaven-defying abilities and was capable of peeking into their secrets?

【Lin Dong: How do you know I have a stone talisman in my hand?】

After pondering for a long while, Lin Dong could no longer suppress the doubts in his heart and asked Zhu Chen this question in the chat group.

Xiao Yan also raised his own question.

Yao Lao’s origins were too mysterious.

Since this omnipotent group leader knew their background, perhaps he could learn more about Yao Lao through him.

Zhu Chen did not hide anything regarding the questions raised by Xiao Yan and Lin Dong.

He had read plenty of novels about chat groups before.

In those stories, the protagonists basically disguised themselves as "omniscient and omnipotent" deities, then used their knowledge of the plot to hoodwink protagonists from other planes to gain benefits.

But he disdained doing so.

There were two reasons.

First is the butterfly effect. Every plane has a "Heavenly Dao consciousness." Although he was familiar with the plot lines of Xiao Yan and the others, his intervention and the appearance of this chat group meant that these plot lines would inevitably change in the later stages.

And such changes were not something he could control.

When that time came, the "omniscient" persona he had painstakingly built in the group would surely collapse, doing more harm than good.

Second, most of the people in this chat group were sincere individuals. Aside from that Tang San, the others were worth befriending.

Take Han Li and Wang Lin, those two "old foxes" of the cultivation world, for example. If you treat them with sincerity, they will treat you as a bosom friend.

But if you try to play mind games with them...

You might end up becoming brothers inside a soul-summoning banner.

Therefore, after careful consideration, Zhu Chen decided to lay his cards on the table.

【Zhu Chen: Everyone, I know you must be very curious about my identity. I won't hide it from you. In fact, you are all protagonists from novels or anime that I have read...】

While Zhu Chen laid out his identity in the chat group, he used his group leader privileges to compile the content of novels like *Battle Through the Heavens*, *Martial Universe*, and *Soul Land* from his memory, then distributed them to everyone in the group one by one.

【Zhu Chen: These novels contain your past experiences as well as the things you will encounter in the future. You can take a look; as for whether they are true or false, I believe you can judge for yourselves.】

...

*Battle Through the Heavens* world.

Upon receiving the text for *Battle Through the Heavens*, Xiao Yan couldn't wait to read it.

"Chapter One, The Fallen Genius..."

"Chapter Eight, The Mysterious Old Man..."

"..."

Although Xiao Yan was only a Dou Zhe, his soul power far exceeded that of an ordinary person, so reading ten lines at a glance was no problem at all.

After briefly flipping through the first few chapters, he was shocked to find that the content described in the novel was exactly the same as his own experiences. Even the incident where he snuck a peek at Xun'er when he was a child was written clearly, leaving him greatly alarmed.

"Oh no, have I really become a character in a novel?"

Xiao Yan paused, then continued to flip further.

He wanted to see Yao Lao’s identity first, then confirm it with Yao Lao himself.

A moment later.

Xiao Yan’s exclamation suddenly rang out from the cave where he was hiding

"Holy crap, an eighth-rank peak alchemist of the ancient Yao Clan, with the cultivation of a Nine-Star Dou Zun..."

"My master is actually a big shot!"

Hearing these words from Xiao Yan, Yao Lao was so startled that he jumped out of the ring.

"Kid, how do you know my true identity?"

...

*Mortal Cultivation* world.

Chaotic Star Sea.

Inside a remote cave dwelling.

Han Li put away the Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword he had just refined. After hesitating for a moment, he accepted the *Mortal* text sent by Zhu Chen.

He was now a cultivator at the early stage of Core Formation; a novel text of a few million words could be read entirely with just a few breaths of divine sense scanning.

However, after reading the *Mortal* text with his divine sense, even with Han Li’s century-long temperament, he couldn't help but be shocked.

"I... am actually a Dao Ancestor reincarnated?"

Over the years, he had experienced life and death, cultivating from a tiny mortal to his current Core Formation stage—it could be described as a narrow escape from death. He never imagined that all of this had been arranged by another version of himself.

No wonder he was able to pick up a Profound Heaven item like the Heaven-Suppressing Bottle on a mortal mountain like the Seven Mysteries Sect.

But soon, Han Li tightened his focus and began to speculate carefully.

"This person knows my past experiences; perhaps he is just using some great divine ability to pry into my memories. Whether the future will truly unfold as he says remains to be verified. I cannot jump to conclusions easily..."

...

*Renegade Immortal* world.

Suzaku Planet, deep underground.

Wang Lin, who was in seclusion cultivating the *Ancient God Art*, finally opened his eyes after reading his own novel text.

"Wan'er."

"It seems that Wang cannot let go of this thread of affection in his heart after all..."

As he said this, a trace of unyielding will suddenly flashed in the depths of Wang Lin’s eyes.

"If that is the case, then Wang can only fight against the heavens!"

...

At this very moment.

Not just Xiao Yan and the others, but Tang San, Lin Dong, and Uzumaki Naruto had also received the information uploaded by Zhu Chen.

However, apart from Uzumaki Naruto and Lin Dong, the other four still held a skeptical attitude toward the novel content uploaded by Zhu Chen and did not fully believe it.

After uploading the novel content, Zhu Chen immediately expressed his own views.

【Zhu Chen: Everyone, the novel content I just uploaded is only your original story line, in which the chat group did not exist. But now that you have become members of this chat group, variables will inevitably occur in the future. Therefore, you can only use the content in the novels as a reference. Do not rely on it too much, otherwise, you will only end up harming yourselves.】
