Zhong Yi, Mu Yawen, and the Zhou siblings, Zhou Yue and Zhou Qiaoling, gathered once again.
The four of them simultaneously entered the illusory world.
Lu Ze's initial release of "My World" only included Creative Mode and Survival Mode.
The other modes had yet to be launched.
After briefly skimming the descriptions of the two modes, Zhong Yi quickly made a decision.
"Definitely Survival Mode! That one looks way more fun!"
Zhong Yi decisively announced to the others in the room.
"Huh? There are more options?"
After selecting [Survival Mode], two additional choices appeared.
[Standard Edition: You will explore the world and strive to survive as an ordinary person.]
[Spiritual Revival Edition: This world has thin spiritual energy, allowing you to slightly enhance your abilities. In this mode, monsters will become significantly stronger. Choose carefully!]
The Standard Edition was nearly identical to the original "My World" from his past life.
The Spiritual Revival Edition, however, incorporated elements of modpacks, making it more fitting for a cultivation-themed setting.
"Obviously the second one! Should I create the world now?"
After receiving unanimous agreement from the others, Zhong Yi proceeded to generate the world.
Compared to his past life, the world creation options were far fewer.
Features like "Allow Cheats" or "Keep Inventory on Death" simply didn’t exist.
The difficulty settings were now "Normal," "Hard," and "Infernal."
The "Easy" difficulty from before?
Completely absent.
Zhong Yi knew better than anyone how Lu Ze defined difficulty, so he didn’t dare overestimate himself. He selected "Normal" and entered the world.
After a brief moment of darkness,
Zhong Yi opened his eyes and looked around, his expression filled with confusion.
"Is… is this a tree?"
He was utterly baffled.
In this world, terms like "pixel art" or "blocky graphics" had never existed.
The art style was… unique.
Zhong Yi glanced down at himself and realized his body was rendered in the same blocky fashion.
"Brother Zhong, what’s wrong? Is the difficulty too brutal?"
Zhou Yue asked cautiously.
This time, Lu Ze had integrated a party voice chat feature into "My World," allowing them to communicate seamlessly.
"Not at all, it’s just the art style is a bit unusual… Come on in! I think this’ll be really fun!"
Zhong Yi shook his head and explained.
Though the visuals were strange, they weren’t unbearable.
Compared to the original "My World" from his past life, the illusory world’s graphics were actually an improvement—akin to having high-quality texture packs installed.
Zhong Yi’s spawn point was in a forest atop a hill.
He stood at the edge and looked down.
Countless blocks stacked together, forming mountains and forests that stretched endlessly into the distance—a breathtaking sight.
In that instant, any initial reservations about the "cheap" aesthetic vanished.
"Hey, what’s this about ‘Random Spawn’ and ‘Follow Spawn’?"
Zhou Yue’s voice chimed in again.
"‘Follow Spawn’ probably means spawning near me, while ‘Random Spawn’ would place you somewhere else?"
Zhong Yi answered instinctively.
Being the only one physically present in the illusion, he had a better grasp of the world’s vastness.
Even from this vantage point, the mountain range seemed endless.
"This world is huge. Splitting up to explore might actually be a good idea."
Zhong Yi suggested.
"Great plan! Let’s pair up—Brother Zhong, you take Junior Mu, and Qiaoling will stick with me. We’ll explore separately… Hah! I bet I’ll outperform you this time!"
Zhou Yue’s competitive spirit flared up.
"Alright, Brother, go ahead and spawn. I’ll follow you."
Zhou Qiaoling nodded.
"On it!"
Without hesitation, Zhou Yue selected "Random Spawn."
The next moment,
Zhong Yi’s voice echoed in his ears:
"What’s going on? Junior Sister Zhou, weren’t you supposed to explore with Brother Zhou? Why are you here with me…"
"Pfft, I lied to him… Who knows what kind of trouble he’d drag me into?"
Zhou Qiaoling didn’t bother hiding her disdain.
"…"
Zhou Yue immediately protested.
"It’s just an exploration and monster-fighting illusion! How could I possibly mess you up?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he materialized in Zhong Yi’s world.
Glancing around, Zhou Yue blinked in bewilderment.
"Brother Zhong… where exactly did you spawn?"
"On a high mountain, next to a forest… Why?"
Zhou Yue took a deep breath and scanned his surroundings again.
He had spawned on a tiny, isolated island.
If it could even be called an island.
It was more like a small mound of dirt—about ten blocks wide, with no trees or stones in sight.
Just endless ocean stretching in every direction.
"Someone tell me… how am I supposed to leave this place…"
……
……
Upon learning of Zhou Yue’s unfortunate predicament, Zhou Qiaoling giggled in relief.
"Good thing I didn’t go with my brother… Oh! A bunny!"
Her attention was caught by a small rabbit, and she immediately chased after it.
"Senior Brother Zhong, what should we do now?"
Mu Yawen scratched his head, looking lost.
"No idea… Let’s just wander around for now?"
Zhong Yi shrugged.
"Okay…"
Mu Yawen nodded and walked up to a large tree.
"HYAH!"
He threw a punch, causing the tree to shake.
"What are you doing…"
Zhong Yi rolled his eyes.
"If we’ve got nothing else to do, why not train? Didn’t they say we could cultivate here?"
Mu Yawen cheerfully replied, throwing punch after punch at the tree trunk.
Just as Zhong Yi was about to mock him, he noticed something astonishing—
Cracks began spreading across the tree where Mu Yawen’s fists landed.
With a loud THUD,
A chunk of the tree broke off.
A small wooden block dropped to the ground and instantly vanished into Mu Yawen’s body.
"Eh? Where’d the tree go?"
Mu Yawen’s fist swung through empty air, leaving him puzzled.
"Took ten punches to break one block? You’ve got a long way to go."
"Junior Mu! Look at your hand!"
Zhong Yi pointed excitedly at Mu Yawen’s palm.
The wooden block he had just "harvested" was now clutched in his grip.
In that moment, Zhong Yi began to understand how this illusory world worked.
esick Sect? Well, at least it's considered a respectable orthodox sect. Wait a minute— What kind of vibe are you all giving off? Shouldn’t this be a love-struck, romance-obsessed sect? Why does everyone here sound more like demonic cultivators? "Master, today he’s getting married. This disciple wishes to descend the mountain and crash the wedding, then toy with him to death right in front of his wife..." "Elder, I only got into your sect through connections, so why won’t you teach me anything?" "Because I also became an elder through connections." Thankfully, Su Ji was just an outer sect labor disciple. Surely, nothing too crazy would— "Junior Brother, you’ve broken through to Qi Refining. Once you sever your useless spiritual root, you can officially become an outer sect disciple." "The Great Dao is merciless. Don’t let a worthless spiritual root waste your essence and spirit, hindering your cultivation." Is this really the Lovesick Sect? ... Three years later, Su Ji sat in the seat of the Lovesick Sect’s sect master, sighing with emotion. His rise to this position all started when his junior sister adamantly insisted on preserving his "spiritual root." "Mmm... Senior Brother, what’s our relationship now?" "Stop talking. Keep going." "By the way, that newly promoted top-tier sect—didn’t they come to buy our Love Beans?" "One top-grade spirit stone per Love Bean—is that really so expensive?" "I suspect they’ve eaten too many Love Beans." "Now they’re lovesick." Well, this really is the Lovesick Sect after all.
d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!
world slacker. But a genius female disciple just had to get clingy, insisting that he take her as a disciple. Not only that, she was always making advances on him, thoroughly disrupting his peaceful slacker life...
+【Epic Battles!】 "Your Highness, they say Linxi Temple is miraculous. Won’t you make a wish?" "A wish? It should be making wishes to me." "That may be so, but since you’re already here..." "..." "Fine. Then grant this princess a consort to play with." "He must be obedient, devoted, and utterly infatuated with my body—so much so that he’d kneel and kiss my feet." "Your Highness, that’s not a consort. That’s a dog." "Then add clever, witty, heroic, ambitious yet pragmatic..." "Hmm, that’s enough for now. I’ll add more later." After tossing out these words half in jest, Princess Anle departed the temple—only to catch a fleeting glimpse of the Bodhisattva statue smiling at her. Meanwhile, Yang An, fresh out of university, was having a very bad day. Good news: He’d transmigrated into another world with a cheat granting tenfold combat power. Bad news: He’d immediately fallen into the clutches of a certain villainess. Good news: Said villainess possessed peerless beauty and royal status. Bad news: She was absolutely monstrous!!! In the frozen wilderness, Yang An knelt beneath Qin Guo’er’s feet, drenched in sweat despite the cold. Desperately clutching her porcelain-perfect foot—the very one poised to crush his throat—he could only think: How do I survive this?! Need answers NOW!
