Seeing Lu Ze remain silent for a long while, Chi Shengtian sighed inwardly.
It made sense, after all.
Even the entire might of the Tianxuan Sect couldn’t resolve the karmic entanglement at play here.
Entrusting it to a single person?
Even if one were to perish, body and soul, it would still be an impossible burden to bear.
He completely understood Lu Ze’s reluctance to risk his life.
"Friend Lu, don’t feel pressured… the one spoken of in the Heavenly Decree as the ‘chosen one’ may not necessarily be you," Chi Shengtian reassured him.
"Even if it turns out to be you, our Tianxuan Sect will respect your wishes. We would never—"
Before he could finish, Lu Ze cut him off with impassioned fervor:
"Elder Chi, what kind of words are these? Lu Ze has lived his life with honor and integrity, willing to shed blood and sacrifice for the righteous path! The calamity of your Tianxuan Sect is my calamity! Protecting righteousness is everyone’s duty!"
"……"
Chi Shengtian’s mouth hung open, forgetting to close as he stared dumbfounded at the righteous young man before him.
His mind was utterly blank.
What was happening?
Was this the same Lu Ze he’d heard about?
From what he knew, this young man’s reputation was nothing like this.
One "Cultivator’s Descent: One Hundred Floors," one "Four’s Company," one "Digging for Ascent"—
Those were all schemes that toyed with people like a demonic cultivator would!
He couldn’t speak for other sects, but among Tianxuan disciples, they privately called him "Old Demon Lu"…
Just listen—since when would a phrase like "protecting righteousness is everyone’s duty" come from the mouth of an "old demon"?
The Tianxuan disciples must have misunderstood him!
"Friend Lu, with such noble character, even if you aren’t the chosen one, our Tianxuan Sect would still honor you as a distinguished guest!" Chi Shengtian couldn’t help but exclaim.
"If there’s anything this humble one can do for the Tianxuan Sect, Elder Chi need only speak," Lu Ze said solemnly, his expression deadly serious.
Whether he was the chosen one or not remained unclear, but with such a glaring opportunity right before him, he had to at least try.
"To resolve this issue, there are only two methods," Chi Shengtian said, raising two fingers.
"Either command the remnant spirit of the Heavenly Dao to slaughter righteous cultivators and repay the karmic debt…"
"Or create a new world, allowing the remnant spirit to transcend its karma."
"The former is naturally impossible… For centuries, we have strived to create such a new world."
"But… no one has ever succeeded in crafting a world that meets the remnant spirit’s demands."
His expression turned bitter.
Creating a new world—was it really so simple?
Generations of sect masters had poured the sect’s full strength into it, yet none had ever met the remnant spirit’s standards.
As for resolving the karmic burden on the remnant spirit itself?
They hadn’t even dared consider it.
Back then, the Tianxuan Sect had borrowed the remnant spirit’s power to alter the outcome of the war between righteousness and demonic forces.
How many demonic lives had been lost in the process?
How could such a debt ever be repaid?
Even if there were a way, doing so would surely brand the Tianxuan Sect as a demonic faction.
After listening to Chi Shengtian’s analysis, Lu Ze pondered carefully before speaking:
"What if… I could both create a world that satisfies the remnant spirit and allow it to repay its karma?"
The moment these words left his mouth, the unfamiliar Elder Lv Gu’s face twisted in displeasure:
"Preposterous! This junior truly knows no bounds of heaven and earth!"
"Elder Lv, mind your manners," Chi Shengtian waved a hand, silencing him with a low rebuke before turning to Lu Ze with curiosity.
"Friend Lu, what do you mean by that?"
"Though I, Lu Ze, am of little talent, the illusory realms I craft never fail to draw countless cultivators into bloody battles within them... If the remnant will of the Heavenly Dao could dwell within and interfere in these illusory conflicts, wouldn't that settle the karma?"
No sooner had Lu Ze's words fallen than Elder Lv Gu voiced his skepticism again:
"Preposterous! How could deaths in an illusory realm resolve karma? Moreover, how could the remnant will of the Heavenly Dao interfere with causality within such a realm?"
For years, their Tianxuan Sect had exhausted countless efforts to create a world that would satisfy the remnant will of the Heavenly Dao.
Not long ago, Lv Gu had presented his painstakingly crafted work to the remnant will—only for it to be mercilessly shattered without hesitation.
Fresh from this rejection, Lv Gu naturally bristled at Lu Ze's bold claims.
"Hey, old Lv, are you just going to keep this up all day?"
Lin Anzai, thoroughly displeased with Lv Gu's attitude, immediately stepped in to reprimand him.
Lu Ze, of course, paid no heed to Lv Gu's words.
After all, before experiencing the phenomenon of illusory realm killings increasing demonic cultivation values, he wouldn’t have believed it either.
"Still, Elder Lv speaks crudely but not without reason. Even if illusory battles could settle karma, how exactly would the remnant will of the Heavenly Dao interfere?"
Faced with Chi Shengtian's doubt, Lu Ze confidently laid out his "server" plan.
By the time he finished explaining, both Chi Shengtian and Lin Anzai wore expressions of sudden enlightenment.
An illusory realm capable of claiming the lives of countless righteous cultivators,
A grand formation of divine resonance spanning the entire cultivation world,
And at its core—the remnant will of the Heavenly Dao...
The more he spoke, the more fantastical it sounded!
If these three conditions were met simultaneously, it might truly allow the remnant will to both escape karma and repay it!
"Hmph, wishful thinking... Don’t forget, all this hinges on him creating a world that satisfies the remnant will! Otherwise, it won’t even glance your way!"
Lv Gu snorted coldly, continuing to pour cold water on the idea—though his tone lacked its earlier conviction.
Hearing this, Chi Shengtian and Lin Anzai exchanged glances, their eyes filled with resignation.
Indeed, they had gotten carried away with optimism.

The fundamental prerequisite remained—
Creating a world that pleased the remnant will of the Heavenly Dao. Without this baseline approval,
Forget about building a "server,"
The remnant will likely wouldn’t so much as look at Lu Ze.
"Oh?"
Lu Ze raised an eyebrow, intrigued.
"Might I ask what exactly the remnant will seeks in a [world]?"
"That’s precisely the greatest problem..."
Dragged back to reality, Chi Shengtian chuckled bitterly.
"No one knows what kind of world the remnant will desires."
"I see."
Lu Ze nodded thoughtfully, yet his eyes showed not a trace of discouragement.
"No matter. Even so, this junior is willing to try."
......
After Lu Ze departed.
"Elder Chi, surely you don’t truly believe a mere junior like him could craft an entire world?"
Lv Gu remained deeply dissatisfied with Chi Shengtian's decision.
Leaving aside whether Lu Ze’s world could meet the remnant will’s standards...
Just the act of creating a world alone is something far beyond the capabilities of a Foundation Establishment cultivator!
"Who knows, perhaps Young Lu Ze truly can craft this world using illusions."
Lin Anzai spoke up in Lu Ze's defense.
"Illusions? Hah. Whether it's illusions or secret realms, haven't our Tianxuan Sect's elders tried countless times before? Elder Lin, are you suggesting that brat is more skilled in the Dao of Illusions than our own elders?"
Lv Gu sneered.
"Hey, you might not believe it, but when it comes to the Dao of Illusions, this old man truly falls short compared to him."
Lin Anzai made no effort to hide his admiration for Lu Ze.
"Look across the entire Tianxuan Sect—who else possesses such ingenuity to create illusions like 'Immortal Realm Domination' and 'Three Kingdoms Slaughter'?"
"Hmph. Mere clever tricks and petty schemes… Do you really think such things can deceive the remnant will of the Heavenly Dao?"
Lv Gu remained utterly dismissive.
Lin Anzai opened his mouth but found himself at a loss for words.
Lu Ze's ingenuity was indeed rare.
But in the end, he was still constrained by his limited strength.
Even with illusions, crafting a world that could earn the recognition of the Heavenly Dao's remnant will—how could it possibly be easy?
Forget about complex issues like the laws of the world.
Just the sheer scale of a world alone would disqualify any Foundation Establishment cultivator.
"Enough. There's no point in arguing further."
Chi Shengtian sighed.
"Do you think I don’t know it’s impossible for him to achieve this now?"
"But if he truly is the one foretold by fate, perhaps in a few centuries… who can say?"
"Let’s wait and see. I only hope our Tianxuan Sect can afford to wait that long…"
nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
