After his transmigration, Ye Huang's existence was tedious and monotonous.
Even joining the chat group didn't change that. Unable to speak, he could only watch others chat, a situation that made him feel miserable.
However, with the chat group, Ye Huang finally had a sense of time passing.
The space he was in, though time flowed normally, lacked a reference point for him to perceive it. But now, with the chat group, Ye Huang could sense the passage of time through the conversations of the group members.
But this only amplified his torment.
Therefore, Ye Huang could only desperately try to master all of Yuma Ento's power, then quietly lurk and observe the others' conversations.
Ye Huang believed he was making rapid progress in controlling this terrifying power of the Outer God. He had even consumed another meal, smaller than the blue star he had devoured before, but it still signified Ye Huang's gradual mastery of Yuma Ento's power.
But even so, it didn't lift the chat group's mute status on him.
"What kind of control level do I need to reach before I can speak? This is getting really boring!"
Ye Huang felt a touch of despair.
This damn space was completely empty, not even a single soul to talk to.
For a long time, Ye Huang had no choice but to force himself to control all of Yuma Ento's power, checking occasionally if the mute status had been lifted. But even after swallowing a star the size of the one Yuma Ento had originally devoured, his silence remained. Ye Huang realized the condition might be different from what he had imagined.
He had assumed that full control of Yuma Ento's power would allow him to speak.
But reality seemed otherwise. The Outer God Star Devourer Yuma Ento, while not as powerful as Azathoth or the Three Great Ones, still held a high position, his strength was immense. Even simply joining the chat group, existing there, could easily drive people inside crazy.
After all, there seemed to be ordinary humans in the chat group.
Direct communication with the Outer God Yuma Ento・Ye Huang would undoubtedly inflict serious harm upon these ordinary humans.
Therefore, Ye Huang guessed that he might need to use a different form to speak in the chat group. But unfortunately, there seemed to be no record of Yuma Ento having any avatars. So, Ye Huang could only wait for now. This wait was truly a bit too long.
Two new members had joined the chat group. Yuma Ento・Ye Huang successfully transitioned from "newbie" status, and the two newcomers were Rem and Goto Uchi.
The former was quite popular, Ye Huang remembered her going viral. The latter was slightly less so, but Ye Huang recognized her, from "Hitorijime My Hero," a reclusive girl. The former possessed some strength, while the latter was entirely ordinary. But in the face of Yuma Ento・Ye Huang, they were both vulnerable to contamination.
With two new members added, Ye Huang still couldn't speak in the chat group.
During this period, however, Ye Huang had gained a general understanding of this Dimensional Chat Group. It was truly just a place for everyone to gather and chat. None of the usual tropes from other novels, like ability shops or point systems, existed.
It was simply for chatting, although red packets could be sent.
The contents of red packets were unlimited, even extraordinary items could be sent. However, with half the group being ordinary humans, there wasn't much to send.
Bai Yuekui did send a potion that could enhance one's physique. This was after she heard that Natsume Takashi had been injured by a yokai and needed healing. Natsume Takashi, one of the two people who hadn't been contaminated by Ye Huang, came from "Natsume's Book of Friends".
Of course, to show her gratitude, Natsume Takashi reciprocated by gifting Bai Yuekui a charm infused with a yokai's special abilities.
Bartering, a rather fair system.
It's worth mentioning that the other original member who hadn't been contaminated by Ye Huang was named Edogawa Conan, also known as Kudo Shinichi. Yes, the "Death Note Elementary School Student" as Ye Huang understood it.
Having this elementary school student around, it felt like death might be a constant presence. Wait, there's not a single living thing around? Never mind then.
Newcomers joining the group, a joyous occasion, the number of people in this chat group was growing. However, Ye Huang couldn't speak at all, which felt frustrating.
As time passed, while waiting for his mute status to be lifted, Ye Huang finally felt something unusual.
It felt like someone was calling him, and Ye Huang felt an urge to go towards it.
In an instant, Ye Huang understood, a wave of excitement surged through him. This was... someone summoning him!
Finally, this day had arrived.
After discovering the coordinates of Earth, Ye Huang had longed to return, but unfortunately, he couldn't enter. He could only hope to be summoned, but the person who could summon him, he wasn't sure if they were from the world he had originally transmigrated from, leaving a question mark in his heart.
