Obviously, by the ti they reached the Third Rank and Fourth-order, the Transcendents had already gained so foundation, and knew quite a few secrets.
Xu Shu didn’t pay any attention and just waited a little longer.
Finally, he spotted a familiar face in the comnt section.
"Frightening Corruptor, Efeilus, legendary Alien Species King, first appeared near Undying Mountain in the southern border, causing significant destruction and threat to our Pioneering Team back then. Finally, the Undying Mountain Master intervened and briefly repelled this guy’s harassnt. Tai Chu, can you confirm it’s him?" —lanie, Fourth Order Dongxuan True Monarch.
In the elevated network, there is an unwritten rule.
Whenever lanie, the leader of the Astronomy Association, joins the chat, the tone of the entire forum instantly becos serious, all teasing and idle chatter, those making jokes, would voluntarily tone down.
Moreover, the people who join the chat subsequently would seriously participate in the discussions.
This phenonon is dubbed the "True Monarch Effect."
This is the respect earned by the Astronomy Association over the years for diligently serving the Human Clan.
At this mont, it was the sa.
As soon as the True Monarch spoke, everyone beca serious, which also brought in a wave of relatively high-quality "netizens."
Xu Shu knew this too.
He knew if he continued playing mute, the attention would pass, so he imdiately typed a reply:
"Indeed, it had a face like earthworms, quite distinctive. Sadly, ashad to say, my skills are insufficient, caught only a glimpse before it hid away, only knew its approximate location." —Tai Chu.
"Really..." —lanie.
"Tai Chu really is modest. According to the Undying Mountain Master himself, Efeilus excels in concealnt abilities. It was with this ability that it escaped from Undying Mountain’s siege back then." —Dian Jiangchun, Fourth-order Soldier.
"Ha, I guess Tai Chu is a Heavenly List Expert, but I wonder which one? Hehehe, none seem to fit, could it be a powerful Fourth-order? No way, right? Sister here is thinking of following the example of the ancients, starting a group to eradicate the gravely wounded Fifth-tier Alien Species King. We’ll strike from below, using the weak to defeat the strong, won’t it make a glorious part of human resistance history soday!" —Yun Zishan, Fourth-order Evil Desire Fairy.
"Well said, you go first then." —Marshal Pei, Fourth-order Giant Spirit.
"Is the priest still in the Eastern Combat Zone? If interested, co to the frontline of the Eastern Combat Zone (D9B4)! My ntor Jian Tianxing is about to take action against the Sea Monster Lukotia lurking near the ruins of High Heaven, preparations are underway." —Nine-Headed Dragon, Fourth-order Shura.
Xu Shu glanced a few tis, noting that the Fourth-orders spoke up more.
But not yet from the Fifth-tiers...
And these Fourth-orders, they’re bold alright, thinking of overthrowing... Seems like since the Great Catastrophe, there really had been precedents of Fourth-orders banding together to slay Fifth-tier monsters?
Xu Shu hesitated for a mont.
At the very front of the comnt section, suddenly, all was still.
A big "Grass" character appeared at the very front of the reply list, instantly quieting all those who wanted to respond for fun.
"Grass!" —Mu Xifeng, Fifth-tier Catastrophe Emperor.
Fifth-tier, two characters, one horizontal and one vertical.
The pinnacle of the Human Clan.
It instantly quieted the entire comnt section.
Xu Shu’s expression turned solemn.
Catastrophe Emperor?
Which class was that again?
Information on the Fourth-order is relatively open on the upgraded network, but the Fifth-tier is more secretive, rarely disseminated and not widely known.
And Xu Shu, naturally, did not know which path the Catastrophe Emperor belonged to.
This was his first ti seeing a Fifth-order expert’s ssage on the upgraded network.
Of course, most importantly, this person nad Mu Xifeng, the "Catastrophe Emperor," seed rather extre.
This caused a partial failure of the "True Monarch Effect."
Many people who ca for fun began to stir.
But, it was in the chat outside the world.
[Shock! Tai Chu is a Fifth-tier Heavenly List Expert! Suspected rivalry with the ninth of the Heavenly List, ’Lord of Calamity.’ They’ve started slinging insults at each other!]
Typical clickbait, but it instantly broke through several hundred comnts, earning a huge wave of attention.
Xu Shu didn’t bother with the several hot topics about him that had erged in the external world channel, but he was sowhat puzzled.
This Catastrophe Emperor, why so extre?
Could it be...
He had a sudden thought and countered in the post:
"Oh, so it was you who injured it? No wonder it ca to the border to heal." —Tai Chu.
"What do you think? Grass! I travailed and bustled for nothing. Your post has probably already attracted several sneaky buggers aiming to snatch easy benefits. Damn~ Why did you have to say that? Plus, who are you anyway, always so elusive... I spent two months lying in ambush for it! How about you delete your post, and team up with ? If successful, I’ll give you thirty percent, how about that? Tagging you now." —Mu Xifeng.
[System ssage: Mu Xifeng (Fifth-tier Catastrophe Emperor) has sent you a team invite, do you accept?]
Xu Shu coolly raised an eyebrow.
"Just a casual post, I’m no longer there, can’t help you. Besides, I only want news about Althias." —Tai Chu.
This Mu Xifeng, his way of speaking doesn’t seem very dignified, almost too down-to-earth, giving off an approachable vibe.
No fuss.
This guy sure talks a lot.
Soone who can type this much naturally gives the impression of being good-natured, soone you can be more frivolous around.
However, even so, Xu Shu of course couldn’t possibly accept the other party’s team request.
"Wasn’t Althias killed by that person already? Why research that news? Who exactly are you chasing? You’re not after that mad Death God Pope, are you? Buddy, speaking from experience, better stay out of such matters. I had a brother, obsessed with discovering the truth about the disappearance of the gods, what happened to him? He went mad!" —Mu Xifeng.
Huh, really got sothing juicy?
