Strange Rules: It doesn't matter, the system will take care of it.

There are people outside people, and there are days outside the sky.

The Demon Lord always believed that the cultivation world was superior in terms of strength, so even if he couldn't rank high in the chat group, he was still definitely among the top.

But now, five people have demonstrated cross-world capabilities that he couldn't achieve.

Senior Youmingxing and Fellow Daoist Wutian come from different worlds, one from the supernatural world and the other from the primordial era. Causal deduction and cognitive pollution are characteristics of their worlds and are normal practices, which are perfectly acceptable.

The group owner's chat system and the subspace deity on Zhan Shuai's body—one can communicate across countless worlds, and the other can spread filth across worlds—are ultimately not his own power, so they are barely acceptable.

But how could someone from a historical world accomplish these things?

The Demon Lord thought to himself, "This is bad."

If someone from a historical world is more capable than someone from a cultivation world, what will his peers think? What will Han Li think of him? What will Zhang Xiaofan think of him? What will the Great Love Immortal Venerable think of him? How will he ever be able to survive in the cultivation world again?

In particular, in the chat history, he made so many remarks that looked down on history and military affairs.

Now they're going to be proven wrong.

Sure enough, Demon Lord Dong Zhuo began to purify himself, saying, "Don't compare yourself to others. Just be yourself. Although I'm involved in history, I'm no worse than you cultivators."

The waters are too deep, the winds too strong; if you don't have the ability, speak less.

Following the fine tradition of Han Li, a senior in the cultivation world, the Demon Lord would remain silent when faced with a difficult question.

To ease the tension, Chen Feng quickly changed the subject: "Brother Demon Lord, you're really amazing, haha! Hey girl, why aren't you saying anything? Newcomers to the group should post photos!"

As an experienced driver.

Chen Feng knew that people couldn't understand each other. No matter the topic, people could argue. Only when looking at beautiful women would everyone be harmonious.

This time, the Last Queen did not remain silent.

She slowly typed: "Okay, the group admin asked me to post a photo. First, I need to understand this concept."

"Posting photos" refers to new group members uploading selfies to the group as a way to liven up the group atmosphere.

"According to the data, watching beautiful women and handsome men can make people feel happy. Now that Demon Lord Dong Zhuo and the First Saint Demon Lord have a conflict, it is the time to ease the awkwardness."

Uploading images.

This is what deep thinking looks like.

This tone is so fake and inhuman.

This is a step-by-step process.

Before Chen Feng could speak, the ominous Corpse King said, "AI?"

The Last Queen uploaded a picture.

Chen Feng clicked on it and took a look.

She was a mature woman with a princess cut, long, straight black hair, and dressed entirely in black from head to toe: a military cap, military uniform, narrow-legged riding breeches, and high-top knee-high leather boots.

She looks like a female military officer.

But her glowing blue eyes, the knuckles on her fingers, and her silvery-white metallic skin all point to an identity.

Youmingxing asked, "A robot?"

The cosmic overlord said, "It could also be a synthetic human."

When the Galactic Warlord wasn't possessed by the gods, he was quite normal: "Whether it's artificial intelligence or digital life, they are both dangerous technologies. They can easily cause an AI crisis, which could lead to the Iron Man rebellion."

Compared to the chatter of the group members.

Chen Feng was more concerned about why, in the past, the chat group had always invited people from around the world, but this time a robot was invited instead.

The most timid of the monster kings said uneasily, "Could it be that we've been killed in a counterattack?"

Just when everyone was worried.

The Last Queen said, "Earth refers to the third planet from the Laniakea Supercluster, the Local Group, the Milky Way, the Orion Arm, the Gould Belt, and the Solar System."

"Yes, according to the analysis, the chat group system does indeed search for Earth transmigrators from universe 1226."

"And my 01st consciousness did indeed come from Earth."

After a long and rambling explanation, everyone was completely bewildered.

The King of Monsters bluntly stated, "I didn't understand."

Ominous Corpse King: "Ugh!"

The Demon Lord was already quite drunk: "What are you babbling about? Come on, finish this cup, there are three more to come."

Finally, the war commander from the science fiction world was the most knowledgeable: "Are you a Gestalt consciousness or a hive consciousness?"

The Queen replied, "It is Gestalt consciousness."

The King of Monsters couldn't help but interrupt, "What do you mean?"

The Queen explained, "Hive consciousness means that while each individual in a species has their own independent consciousness, when working collectively, all individuals must unconditionally submit to the collective consciousness, just like a bee colony."

"Gestalt consciousness is similar to hive consciousness, the difference being that none of the child units have independent consciousness."

The overly technical response left everyone confused.

But Chen Feng understood: "Simply put, in a hive consciousness, everyone does their own thing normally, but when working, they must obey the master's orders. In contrast, in a Gestalt consciousness, everyone shares memories and is one person."

Ominous Corpse King: "Mastery."

The cosmic overlord said, "So, the original transmigrator abandoned their physical body, uploaded their consciousness to the machine, and assimilated with the collective?"

The Queen: "That's right."

Chen Feng said, "Then tell me your story. What exactly happened with that ethnic cleansing?"

The Queen explained, "That is love and peace. After Consciousness 01 traveled to this world, it found that the world was in a state of disaster and everyone was starving. So, in order to make everyone live a prosperous life and not have to worry about food and drink, we decided to turn aliens into canned food."

Every word the other person uttered was filled with the words "love and peace," but the more Chen Feng listened, the more something felt off. After thinking carefully for a long time, he finally saw the underlying message between the lines: "That's fucking cannibalism!"

"Here, everyone can realize their own value, even aliens are no exception, so I incorporated aliens into the power grid to continuously generate electricity for everyone."

"That's fucking bioelectricity."

"Consciousness No. 01 has racial fastidiousness, believing that those who are not of our kind must have different intentions. Therefore, for the sake of planetary environmental protection, we have purified 160000 trillion living beings."

"That's fucking ethnic cleansing."

Speaking of it.

The warlords suddenly found common ground: "Ethnic cleansing is good! Heretics should be eliminated!"

Chen Feng urged Zhan Shuai to calm down: "Don't let your fear of cruelty take hold again."

The Queen said, "I am very pleased to have your approval, but according to the bio-scan, your genetic similarity to humans is less than 0.1%, so you are also a heretic."

The Netherworld Star became interested: "What about me?"

Queen: "10%."

King of Monsters: "And what about me?"

Queen: "60%."

Upon hearing about the competition, the Demon Lord finally broke his silence: "I'm definitely human, right?"

Queen: "98%."

The Demon Lord drank too much.

Then I'm definitely going to be the champion.

As the only one in the group wearing it, Chen Feng asked directly, "Me!"

Queen: "100%, a little-known fact: a banana shares 50-60% genetic similarity with humans."

what?

There are so many bananas, wouldn't that mean...?

War General: "......"

[The War General's status has been changed to "Do Not Disturb"]

Speaking of this...

Chen Feng suddenly remembered something: "How did you know about the composition of our bodies?"

Empress: "You can do this by using the group chat's information function."

Chen Feng opened the system interface but couldn't find the group information. Then he suddenly remembered what the intelligence system had said: the system was a product of the God of All Machines, which meant, "You are a machine, so you can connect to the system?"

The Queen: "Yes."

Chen Feng: "Damn, why didn't you say so earlier? Could you help me see if you can fix the chat group function?"

Empress: "No problem. According to the wishes of Consciousness Entity 1, I will provide you with assistance."

The food from my hometown is still the best!

Chen Feng waited patiently.

Shortly after, the Empress delivered the results: "Through analysis, the source of the system has been determined."

"The ZT-03-LTQ system was jointly created by the God of Myriad Machines and the God of Space to summon transmigrators and resolve the apocalyptic crisis of this plane."

"The former master, the God of All Machines, perished in the apocalypse, and thus lost some of his functions."

Upon hearing this...

Chen Feng felt that everything made sense: "No wonder, with such an awesome chat group system, how did the previous owner die at Happiness Internet Cafe? It turns out the previous owner was a god."

"No wonder, when we encountered missing functions before, the chat group system always added a great adjective before the host."

The Queen's analysis wasn't over yet: "This apocalyptic crisis involves the universe's anti-annihilation mechanism and anti-..."

He was only halfway through his sentence.

Youmingxing shouted, "Stop! Do you want to kill everyone by sharing this information in the group?"

The Empress seemed to have been attacked, and after a moment of hesitation, she said, "This...this knowledge is too dangerous! Analysis interrupted."

Just as Chen Feng was worried that the Empress might crash because of this, the system suddenly sent a notification:

Group chat is under maintenance.

Wow, that's awesome!

Chen Feng was overjoyed. He hadn't expected that it could actually be repaired. In that case, he could use the repair quota he obtained after killing the Ghost King to repair his second favorite, the Great Benevolent System.

[Ding! The Equipment Enhancement System notifies you: "Boss, what about me?"]

Who are you?

Conscious systems are really annoying.

Although the proficiency system is also conscious, it has a sense of shame; if it's not up to par, it immediately levels up.

How dare you call out the equipment enhancement system here?

Chen Feng couldn't help but say, "If Hextech and the daily check-in system came to me asking for repair slots, I might consider it. But you, you useless system, go cool off somewhere else!"

Time always flies.

Just as the chat was about to end, the Queen, who was repairing the system, made an unexpected discovery.

[An anonymous group member has been detected]

Ok?

Chen Feng was taken aback: "Who's pretending to be a master while remaining invisible? Is Gu Long faking his death again?"

But what happened next left all the group members dumbfounded.

The group list changed from 11 people to 12.

A new group member?

Chen Feng was confused: "That's not right. It's a system setting that you can only invite two group members at a time, and the maximum is eleven people, isn't it?"

The Demon Lord guessed, "Is it that guy from sports? You replaced him, but he's still here?"

However, the hidden group members did not come from the sports world.

Instead, it was someone Chen Feng knew.

[Ding! Administrator - Cihang Bodhisattva (Sealed) has joined the group. Quickly say hello to the group members!]

Grass!

Chen Feng felt as if he had been doused with cold water, and his whole body shuddered.

"No wonder Cihang Bodhisattva is always able to anticipate the enemy's moves, making me feel like I'm in her shadow."

"My behavior was different after I reloaded the save file compared to last time."

"Turns out she'd been hiding in the group chat all along, secretly spying on my next plan!"

Chen Feng had long discovered that Cihang could foresee everything he did. For example, after he first obtained the chat group, he waited for ten years.

As a result, Cihang did nothing during those ten years.

Is that right, bro?

At that time, Cihang had just acquired a bunch of Great Sages.

Why did you stop?

It turns out she knew Chen Feng wouldn't cause trouble in this playthrough.

After Chen Feng dealt with the six guardians of Niu Mian, Ci Hang immediately subdued them in the next playthrough.

"How could it be such a coincidence? If Cihang had this strength from the beginning, why didn't she recruit him sooner?"

"So she saw the group chat and discovered the locations of the six protectors! Does that mean I'll be completely under her control from now on?"

Just as Chen Feng was on the verge of a mental breakdown, a message came out.

[The Bodhisattva Cihang (currently sealed) has been kicked out of the group chat by the Queen of the End]

"Holy crap!"

"Queen of the End, you are my god!"

Chen Feng looked at the last sentence in the group chat and couldn't help but say something.

Now that Cihang has been kicked, she won't be able to know what I'm doing anymore.

Thinking of this, Chen Feng suddenly realized something was wrong: "Wait a minute, I shared information about the Great and Small Ghost Kings in the group chat this time. Won't she target them?"

If the Great and Small Ghost Kings, two of the Five Monsters, also become Cihang's people, then something terrible will happen.

Upon thinking of this, Chen Feng quickly opened the alchemy furnace and took out the Qi-Nourishing Pill: "Old Wolf, this is a gift for you. Also, don't call me Immortal anymore. I have something to attend to now, so I'll be leaving first."

After quickly finishing saying all this...

Chen Feng left Old Wolf completely bewildered and ran like the wind towards subway station number eight.

quick!quick!quick!

Upon arriving at the subway station entrance, Chen Feng, thinking of the evil spirits inside, quickly used the Ghost-Catching System to summon a helper.

So, Meng Chengcheng, who was reading in her room just a second ago, appeared in front of Chen Feng the next second.

With a snap.

The book in Meng Chengcheng's hand fell to the ground: "You can summon me?"

Chen Feng had already prepared his explanation for this.

He decided to impersonate the King of Hell, claiming to be the god worshipped by his family of mediums for generations.

But Meng Chengcheng still remembered that Chen Feng had said that the god who had been with the gods for generations was actually a ghost king who had possessed another body.

I forgot about this part.

Chen Feng coughed lightly and said, "That was my test for you."

"test?"

"That's right, you are my ghost, and I am your master. Obeying my orders is your duty."

While it's true that spiritual mediums must follow divine instructions, Meng Chengcheng certainly didn't believe that someone had inexplicably gained a master: "What proof do you have?"

Chen Feng said, "After this agonizing phase, are you going to take the 6 o'clock train from platform eight to the underworld?"

Meng Chengcheng was starting to believe her: "This is a family secret, how did you know?"

Chen Feng invoked the system interface, disabling Meng Chengcheng from using the psychic ability: "Try psychic communication now."

Meng Chengcheng tried it and immediately exclaimed nervously, "How could this be?"

"Try summoning the chains now."

"How can a person summon chains out of thin air? Ah! It really is possible!"

Chen Feng, feigning expertise, said, "That's right. I can grant you power, or I can take it away. Do you understand now?"

"Understood."

"What should you call me?"

"god!"

Chen Feng's actions completely fooled the genius girl.

Then, the two rushed into the subway entrance, ready to have a big battle with the ghosts.

Surprisingly, there wasn't a single ghost inside.

Where are the King of Hell's minions? Where are the ghost messengers?

When Chen Feng scanned it with his divine sense, he was so frightened that he almost peed himself.

Deng Deng Deng!

On the platform stood a group of familiar faces, including the Great Sage with White Forehead, Lady Mountain Lord, and Lady Red Fox from the Great Demon's side, as well as the newly recruited Wealth Protector and Wrathful Vajra.

The one in the lead was someone Meng Chengcheng would recognize even if she were reduced to ashes: "India!"

Chen Feng's heart sank: "Damn it, they really are here to steal my kills."
