Relying on magical artifacts to track the movements of primordial beings was something Xu Fang had been doing.
This method allowed Xu Fang to avoid many dangers. For instance, last time on Mount Buzhou, he had evaded the arrangements of fate and escaped being hunted down by a host of powerful ancestors.
It also allowed Xu Fang to uncover many hidden secrets. What left a lasting impression and lingered in his mind were the unspoken, indescribable matters between the Spirit Coffin Lamp and its master, Daoist Randeng.
However, despite the many conveniences and benefits this method brought Xu Fang, one problem had always troubled him and remained unsolved to this day.
That was, his acquisition of information relied entirely on the unintentional self-disclosure of the magical artifacts in the chat group.
This had both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage was that he could accidentally overhear shocking secrets, while the disadvantage was that Xu Fang could not steer the direction of the conversation to obtain the information he desired.
"Alas, it's fortunate I'm the group leader. But am I really the group leader?"
Xu Fang sighed inwardly. He held the title of group leader in the chat group but had never spoken a word.
This wasn't because Xu Fang was deliberately putting on airs of a high-and-mighty group leader. It was simply because he was afraid that if he spoke, he might inadvertently reveal his secrets.
Although the magical artifacts in the group chatted and idled all day, like a group of cheerful jesters,
Xu Fang understood very well that these artifacts had witnessed countless years of change and experienced numerous legendary ups and downs.
There was nothing new under the sun. Having observed all the events in the Primordial Era for so many years, how could they not have gained some wisdom?
They might seem like a group of cheerful jesters, but in reality, each one was an old fox with deeply hidden reserves.
Xu Fang did not believe he could maintain his mystery and invincibility among these artifacts, so he had remained silent to avoid speaking too much and making mistakes, revealing his true nature.
Therefore, Xu Fang could only watch as those artifacts engaged in endless idle chatter, searching for useful information amidst a pile of nonsense.
"If only I could speak!"
Xu Fang sighed in his heart. If he could speak, he could guide the direction of the conversation, and his efficiency in acquiring information would be greatly improved. He wouldn't have to sift through messages one by one.
But the predicament of his group leader status remained, and Xu Fang was helpless.
If he were to truly speak as the group leader and expose his origins, it would be a case of losing the greater for the lesser, a loss that far outweighed any gain in information.
Relying on the conversations of the artifacts in the group, letting them ramble aimlessly, Xu Fang could only patiently wait for other artifacts to speak and steer the conversation in the right direction if he wanted to obtain the information he desired.
In this regard, the Heaven Measuring Ruler and the Enlightenment Tea Tree had helped Xu Fang a lot. Many times, they had aligned with Xu Fang's wishes and guided the direction of the conversation as he desired.
However, this kind of thing was entirely dependent on luck. Most of the time, he would spend half a day scrolling through messages, only to find no收获.
Sometimes Xu Fang would be so anxious that he wanted to speak as the group leader to guide them!
Fortunately, Xu Fang ultimately restrained himself.
"Perhaps, it's time to confess to Brother Ruler?"
Xu Fang sighed. If all else failed, he would tell the Heaven Measuring Ruler his true identity and have him act according to his commands.
However, Xu Fang was still unwilling to reveal his origins.
It wasn't that he didn't trust the Heaven Measuring Ruler. It was just that being in the Primordial Era, Xu Fang felt that having some hidden trump cards that no one knew about was essential for going further.
At this moment, Xu Fang thought of his past life and couldn't help but feel a sense of melancholy.
"If only I could create an account myself and join the chat group!"
Xu Fang recalled that in his previous life, he had done such things before, creating several alternate accounts to join various chat groups, agreeing with each other, and causing a stir.
However, although this chat group mimicked a certain social media app from his previous life, the group members were fixed from the beginning. His idea was perhaps too far-fetched.
Just then, the system prompt sounded.
"Ding!"
"Detected that the host has the intention to create an alternate account. Detected that the host has the identity of a group leader in the chat group. The host has obtained group leader privileges and the right to create alternate accounts."
"Ding!"
"Does the host wish to create an alternate account and join the chat group?"
This prompt instantly made Xu Fang overjoyed, and he blurted out.
"Is there really such a good thing?"
He had merely expressed a thought, and unexpectedly, there was such a good thing, the ability to create an alternate account and join the chat group?
"What good thing?"
This question puzzled the Golden-Winged Great Peng Sculpture and Ao Xue beside him, who looked at Xu Fang.
Upon hearing this, Xu Fang came back to his senses, remembering that they were by his side and they were currently on their way. He quickly waved his hand.
"It's nothing. I just thought of something good."
Seeing this, the Golden-Winged Great Peng Sculpture and Ao Xue exchanged glances, their faces showing smiles.
It seemed that Senior was about to return home, so he was so happy!
Xu Fang didn't have the time to bother with them now. After giving a perfunctory reply, he mentally asked.
"System, quickly tell me how to create an alternate account."
Since this was truly possible, Xu Fang was naturally impatient to see how it worked.
"Ding!"
"The host possesses group leader privileges. As long as you decide on the category and name of the magical artifact, you can create a virtual alternate account and join the chat group."
The system's prompt answered Xu Fang's doubts.
"Is it that simple?"
Xu Fang was somewhat disbelieving. Was it really that simple?
"Ding!"
"The host possesses group leader privileges. Forget about one virtual alternate account; you can even create multiple virtual alternate accounts."
The system patiently explained to Xu Fang.
Upon hearing this, Xu Fang immediately understood. So, it was his group leader title that was so useful!
"Then what are you waiting for? Create a virtual alternate account for me immediately."
After Xu Fang understood, he didn't want to delay any further and quickly said.
As long as he created an alternate account and infiltrated the chat group, he could speak through the alternate account, making things convenient for him. Wouldn't that be wonderful!
As Xu Fang finished speaking, the system did not respond this time, but a user interface appeared before Xu Fang.
Looking at the interface before him, Xu Fang felt an overwhelming sense of familiarity.
"Isn't this a registration page?"
Xu Fang chuckled. How similar was this to the account registration pages he had seen in his previous life!
At that moment, Xu Fang felt a sense of displacement, as if he had returned to his past life, sitting in front of that screen, starting to register an account.
"Alas, it's really something. Even after transmigrating to this Primordial Era, I can't escape the fate of modern internet."
Xu Fang lamented, his mind focusing on the registration page.
Xu Fang had registered accounts countless times before. In his previous life, he had registered numerous official and unofficial accounts, so he was extremely skilled at this.
At this moment, without the system needing to say more, he immediately began to fill in the information according to the labels.
