Back in her room, Miao Zhuling connected to the Demon Network, opened the Demon Forum, and browsed everyone's forums, focusing on finding topics related to True Monarch Xian Ge.
"I heard that the String Song True Lord won't be showing up for the opening ceremony this year. What a pity."
"Ahhh, how could this be? I came to the Demon Realm this time specifically for True Lord Xuange, why isn't she showing up?"
"Human friends above, don't worry, Her Highness the Holy Maiden is only absent from the opening ceremony, she will definitely be there for the closing ceremony."
"That's good, that's good. Thank you, demon friend upstairs. Let's add each other as friends. I'd like to learn more about True Lord String Song from you. If True Lord String Song makes any moves, remember to let me know."
"I've added you as a friend, but I heard that only elders of some major sects in your human race have internet access now?"
"Hehe, I'm a direct disciple. If I want to go online, I'll sneak over to the back of my master's house to use the internet."
"The person upstairs is really brave! I envy those from big sects who get to mooch internet access. This is my first time experiencing internet in the Demon Realm. When will the cultivation world get internet?"
"Don't worry, judging from the current trend, most of the cultivation world will be covered within two years."
Miao Zhuling was also thrilled to see this. The Tianyan Sect only had internet access in a few places, and many disciples would often use it without permission, with the elders usually turning a blind eye. However, excessive internet use would still result in punishment.
If the cultivation world had internet, she wouldn't have to sneak around anymore. Just then, her friend list flashed.
The Holy Maiden, who has unified the divine realm, said: "I have already arrived in the capital. We will meet at the Immortal Fate Inn."
Miao Zhuling quickly replied, "Okay, Sister Qian, I'll be there in a few days. I was just thinking of going to the Immortal Fate Inn to experience it. Let me tell you a secret, I'm a contestant this time, and also a disciple of the Heavenly Evolution Sect."
Among thousands of netizens, she immediately took a liking to the other person's screen name. Knowing that the other person, like herself, admired the True Lord of String Song, Miao Zhuling felt as if she had found her tribe.
The other person clearly lowered their guard because of her online name, and within a few days, the two were chatting enthusiastically. Since they were going to meet anyway, she couldn't help but reveal her true identity to the other person.
The Tianyan Sect is now truly the number one sect, and she is very proud of the disciples of the Tianyan Sect around her.
The Holy Maiden Unifies the Divine Realm: "Hehe, I'll tell you a secret too. I know the Holy Maiden, and we even had dinner together a few years ago."
Miao Zhuling paused for a moment, then quickly typed: "Really?"
The Holy Maiden Unifies the Divine Realm: "Of course it's true. I came here to see the Holy Maiden. I even brought some local specialties from my hometown. I'll share some with you later."
Miao Zhuling was extremely excited. Although she was also a disciple of the Tianyan Sect, her understanding of An Ge came from others, especially some disciples who were in the same period as True Monarch Xiange. However, many of these disciples had never met An Ge in person, so her understanding was limited.
Clearly, everyone shared her thoughts. During their trip to the Demon Realm, the questions they asked Uncle Lie most weren't about the competition, but rather about True Lord Xuan Ge. Unfortunately, Uncle Lie was aloof and didn't share much information. She never expected that one of her newly acquainted online friends would actually be True Lord Xuan Ge's friend!
The Stringed Song True Lord, for all eternity: "Tell me quickly, how did you two meet?"
Inside the inn, Tian Qian looked at the bustling crowd outside, a nostalgic expression on her face. Her greatest misfortune in life was almost losing her freedom when she became a concubine, while her greatest fortune was that she had impulsively caused trouble for An Ge.
An Ge is a sentimental person, and if she were to request it, her family would certainly receive some preferential treatment. However, she and her family felt that being able to know the Holy Maiden was already a great fortune, and even with the magic network, she only exchanged a few words of greeting on special occasions. Because there wasn't much exchange of benefits, her relationship with An Ge was much freer, which was truly wonderful.
Tian Qian smiled and started chatting with her online friend.
Inside the Saintess's Palace, An Ge opened her eyes, her brows slowly furrowing. With the development of the Demon Realm, especially the advent of the internet, she had gained a large amount of faith power.
This power of faith doesn't come from her followers, but from those who love her. It's no exaggeration to say that she's now practically a top influencer on the Tianxuan Continent. Even if this power of faith is small, the combined influence of so many people on the Tianxuan Continent is a force to be reckoned with.
She could sense that her divine status was nearing completion, just one step away from the gates of the divine realm, but now she was stuck at that step. Moreover, because she was a chosen one of the gods, her path to ascension through cultivation was also blocked.
"What is my beauty worrying about? It breaks my heart." A teasing voice came, and a spirited woman strode in.
An Ge chuckled, already used to the woman's teasing. "I was just thinking about the matter of godhood. For some reason, I'm just a little short of it. Neither Xiao Qi nor I can explain exactly what it is."
"I always thought I was pretty good, but after meeting you, I realized what it means to be outmatched." Ji Ke said speechlessly, "How about I go to other dimensions and rack up some achievements too?"
"Have you finished all your own business? I heard the ministers are pressuring you to get married again?"
"Hmph, these people are just idle. I'm about to find them something to do. There are so many things going on in and out of the court, why are they keeping an eye on my harem all day?" Ji Ke's eyes were filled with disdain, not taking the pressure from these officials seriously at all. "They haven't stretched their muscles in too long, they've probably forgotten that I'm not a kind person."
Hearing Ji Ke's domineering words, An Ge exaggeratedly cupped her face in her hands and exclaimed, "So handsome!"
"What good is being handsome? It's a pity that the beauty already has someone she loves, otherwise I would definitely make you my empress." Ji Ke raised an eyebrow, her voice laced with seduction.
An Ge was speechless. After all these years, Ji Ke still liked to tease her.
Thinking back on her years with Ji Ke, even she herself never imagined that she, who always preferred to be alone, would form an alliance with another chosen one.
At the time, she wanted to build a demon network, but lacked the knowledge in this area, so she tried posting a task in the Chosen Ones space. She thought it would be difficult for anyone to accept this task, after all, combining magic and science was unusual, and what she wanted were books, not special equipment.
Not long after, a chosen one contacted her. During the transaction, An Ge discovered that she had met this chosen one before; he was the same spirited woman she had seen in the space.
What the other party wanted was quite ordinary to An Ge—just a pill that could extend the lifespan of mortals. Seeing how readily the other party agreed, An Ge finally understood Meng Xia's mindset back then.
