"Therefore, my current focus is temporarily not on the Ascension Bureau. Instead, as the acting head of the Nethergate Pavilion, I aim to provide the Zi Wei Celestial Court with more efficient and streamlined operations!"
"I’ve said my piece. Fellow colleagues, you may now raise your questions!"
Zhao Huazhen stood tall on the stage, his dark golden vertical pupils brimming with confidence.
Hadn’t he made it crystal clear? Anyone with half a brain should recognize the immense benefits of this chat group project, right?
Just charge ahead without hesitation!
"......"
After a brief silence in the hall,
Fang Zheng, ever the instigator, struck again: "I have a question!"
"Ascension Bureau Chief, you’ve repeatedly emphasized the 'immense benefits' of this chat group project. But what exactly are these benefits?"
"For instance, what changes will its implementation bring? What current issues will it resolve? And what kind of value will it create?"
The moment he finished speaking—
Buzz!
Zhao Huazhen’s mind went blank for a second.
Hadn’t he already explained this?
Or... had he?
Wait, did he or didn’t he?
Ah, never mind—it didn’t matter!
What mattered was this little Fang Zheng! Others might not know, but how could Zhao Huazhen not?
Fang Zheng had been following Brother Yi for ages. If even the natives of Zi Wei couldn’t grasp the advantages of a chat group, how could Fang Zheng not understand?
Was he deliberately trying to embarrass him?!
Fine, fine. Consider this grudge noted!
Zhao Huazhen shot Fang Zheng a deep glare, then quickly racked his simple yet efficient brain. Drawing from the three key questions raised, he swiftly formulated an answer:
"Director Fang Zheng raises an excellent point. Allow me to elaborate briefly on the benefits of the chat group project."
"First, the chat group’s implementation will replace the traditional instant spiritual messaging system!"
"Compared to the crude spiritual system, the chat group offers far more functionalities, including but not limited to: real-time communication, information transfer, spatial teleportation, logistics transport, online transactions, error calculation, and more!"
"Second, beyond its rich features, the chat group’s security mechanisms are flawless. Unlike the traditional spiritual system, which can be breached by skilled civilians, leading to leaks of critical information!"
"Lastly, the value of the chat group is already evident. Efficient information transmission boosts productivity, spatial teleportation and logistics save vast amounts of manpower and resources, and online transactions provide a secure platform, greatly enhancing trade safety and fostering the flourishing of fortune..."
The more he spoke, the smoother his thoughts flowed!
It wasn’t that he lacked competence—he was just better at doing than explaining.
But with Fang Zheng’s nudge, everything suddenly clicked. Now he noticed the glaring flaws in his prepared speech...
Though it pained him to admit it, the speech he’d agonized over might truly be nothing more than flashy, hollow garbage.
At the same time, Zhao Huazhen realized Fang Zheng hadn’t meant to embarrass him. Instead, he’d been guiding him to showcase the project’s value!
Fang Zheng, you sly fox...
"Very well, my questions are concluded. Do any other colleagues have concerns?"
Fang Zheng gave a slight nod, then deftly avoided Zhao Huazhen’s grateful gaze, melting into the background after a job well done.
Next up was Gu Yuan, Chief of the Celestial Law Court.
"Ascension Bureau Chief, the core objectives of the chat group project are now clear. But how should the Nethergate Pavilion, responsible for maintaining the chat group, define its scope of authority?"
"New departments supporting this project cannot be constrained by existing celestial laws. Excessive power may lead to functional imbalances. If regulation is necessary, which areas should be prioritized?"
This time, Zhao Huazhen’s mind didn’t go blank. He knew full well that Gu Yuan was also a member of the chat group. There was no way Gu Yuan didn’t understand the regulatory aspects—his question, like Fang Zheng’s, was meant to guide Zhao Huazhen in explaining the pros and cons to the Zi Wei natives unfamiliar with the chat group.
Tsk tsk, do I really come across as that incompetent?
After Fang Zheng’s hint, even I wouldn’t miss the point!
Still, little Gu Yuan, I appreciate the thought!
After a brief pause to gather his thoughts, Zhao Huazhen answered with clarity:
"An excellent question. Once the chat group platform is operational, its influence will be vast. Without proper celestial regulations, unchecked development could lead to severe consequences. Key areas for regulation include..."
"......"
"The Oversight Bureau also has concerns. Celestial laws are the baseline, but some officials may disregard or even overstep them. If disciplinary oversight is needed, what aspects should be monitored?"
As Gu Yuan stepped back, Chu Nan took the stage. The former 'Progressive Trio' had gone to great lengths to steer the discussion.
Fortunately, the little golden dragon Zhao Huazhen wasn’t a hopeless mess. Under the guidance of these seasoned celestial officials, he eloquently expounded on the chat group project’s essence from every angle.
After a thorough understanding, the Zi Wei native officials unanimously voted in favor, pledging full cooperation. They praised Zhao Huazhen, the newly appointed Ascension Bureau Chief and Nethergate Pavilion head, for his exceptional capabilities, expressing confidence that his leadership would yield extraordinary results. The grand hall buzzed with harmonious enthusiasm!
Of course, this was only the preliminary approval. The real challenge lay in the subsequent development and adaptation process. The little golden dragon, now basking in the praise, had already made grand promises. Once the project entered the implementation phase, there’d be no room for complaints!
Well, he’d dug his own grave. No matter how tough it got, he’d have to see it through!
Chen Yi, who knew the little golden dragon’s quirks all too well, understood one thing: Zhao Huazhen was a dragon who thrived on pride. As long as everyone kept him happy, he’d grit his teeth and get the job done!
"Alright, that’s enough. Time to wrap up the show. Zi Wei, meet me at the Illusory Star Abode."
Once everything was on track, Chen Yi summoned Zi Wei, the Heavenly Dao, to the Illusory Star Abode for a private discussion.

u Chenyuan transmigrated into a female-oriented novel about a real and fake heiress, becoming the CEO elder brother of both. Unfortunately, the entire Lu family—including himself, the CEO—were mere cannon fodder in the story. Determined to save himself, Lu Chenyuan took action. The spoiled, attention-seeking fake heiress? Thrown into the harsh realities of the working class to learn humility. The love-struck real heiress? Pushed toward academic excellence, so lofty goals would blind her to trivial romances. As for the betrayed, vengeful arranged marriage wife… the plot hadn’t even begun yet. There was still time—if he couldn’t handle her, he could at least avoid her. "CEO Lu, are you avoiding me?" Mo Qingli fixed her gaze on Lu Chenyuan. For the first time, the shrewd and calculating Lu Chenyuan felt a flicker of unease.
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
