One day, Song Shuhang accidentally joined a chat group for hardcore fans of fantasy novels and chuunibyou (a Japanese term for someone with delusions of grandeur). The group members all addressed each other as "fellow Daoists," and their nicknames were filled with various titles like "Lord of a Palace," "Master of a Cave," "True Person," and "Celestial Master." Even the group owner's lost pet dog was referred to as a "Great Demon Dog Who Ran Away from Home." They spent all their time discussing alchemy, exploring secret realms, and cultivation techniques. One day, after lurking for a long time, he suddenly discovered that... Every single member of the group was actually a cultivator, the kind who could move mountains and overturn seas and live for thousands of years! Ugh, my worldview has completely shattered overnight!
