After Lu Ze manually shut down the entire Cultivation World’s [Ray Tracing] system in the backend of "My World," the remnant of the Heavenly Dao finally returned to normal.
“Hmph, this Heavenly Dao was merely holding back its full strength,” the Heavenly Dao remnant declared arrogantly, without a hint of embarrassment.
“Ah, yes, yes, of course,” Lu Ze cheerfully agreed, then muttered to himself:
“But even if everyone in the Cultivation World used [Ray Tracing] together, it shouldn’t have overloaded like this…”
“I’ll say it again: this Heavenly Dao did not overload,” the remnant insisted righteously.
“I see… Did you perhaps optimize the entire illusory world of the opponent?” Lu Ze suddenly asked, a spark of inspiration lighting up his mind.
The Heavenly Dao remnant responded confidently, “What’s wrong with that?”
“That’s a huge problem… From now on, you should only apply the spells near their actual location; otherwise, all that optimization is pointless,” Lu Ze realized with a start.
No wonder Nascent Soul cultivators couldn’t sustain their spiritual energy consumption, and no wonder the Heavenly Dao remnant was crashing from overload.
Turns out this guy was cranking the power consumption to the max…
“Hmph, so what if I apply it everywhere? This Heavenly Dao… Fine, since you little ant insist, I’ll give you a break this once,” the remnant said with a swagger.
Lu Ze didn’t bother to expose him and instead asked about something else:
“By the way… isn’t the spiritual energy you demand from cultivators too much? Today, many cultivators collapsed from exhaustion. If this continues, it won’t be good for either of us.”
“Heh, does this Heavenly Dao care about the ants’ spiritual energy? It’s just that I’m too weak myself!” The remnant sneered arrogantly.
“Besides, being able to exchange spiritual energy for spell blessings from me is a huge blessing for the ants!”
Lu Ze’s eyes lit up. “Oh? How so?”
“Heh, the spiritual energy refined by this Heavenly Dao becomes far purer than ordinary…”
“Spells nourished by this kind of spiritual energy are equivalent to training in a place rich with spiritual energy.”
“Moreover, these spells carry the will of this Heavenly Dao.”
“If you can comprehend even half of it, it will be a tremendous gift for you ants.”
Lu Ze actually found himself believing the Heavenly Dao remnant’s words.
After all, no matter how incomplete, it was still a product of the Heavenly Dao.
However, when it came to the claim about the Heavenly Dao’s will, Lu Ze wasn’t so sure.
It was one thing for the Heavenly Dao will from a thousand years ago to be trustworthy.
But to comprehend the half-broken will of the current Heavenly Dao remnant? That path was likely to go astray…
“If that’s truly the case, then we’re in luck from now on…” Lu Ze secretly rejoiced.
The very existence of the illusory game was fundamentally at odds with the path of cultivation.
In the short term, it could indeed attract cultivators to relax and play.
After all, slowing down cultivation for a year or two wouldn’t matter much to most cultivators, especially those stuck at bottlenecks.
But in the long run, it wouldn’t work.
Even if cultivators genuinely enjoyed playing, their sects would intervene.
But with the Heavenly Dao remnant’s blessing, things were different.
Playing in the illusion was equivalent to cultivating?
What a wonderful thing!
If playing games in a previous life could boost exam scores, Lu Ze dared not imagine how many perfect scorers a school would have.
The sects wouldn’t just refrain from intervening—they would actively encourage their disciples to spend more time in the illusion.
Play!
Play to your heart’s content!!
Originally, he only thought he had found a server for the illusion realm and a scapegoat for the system.
He never expected the remnant spirit of the Heavenly Dao to have such an effect.
Looks like he really has to keep this lord well-fed and pampered.
“Hmph, I’ve fulfilled your request, but when will you show me that efficiency you promised—the one that shortens time to just a hundred years?”
The remnant spirit of the Heavenly Dao asked.
“Soon, very soon,”
Lu Ze replied with a smile.
“Remember, I’m only giving you one month,”
the remnant spirit warned coldly.
“All right, all right... By the way, don’t you want to change your look? Right now, cultivators see you and think you’re childish.”
Lu Ze glanced at the remnant spirit, who looked like a little bun with cataracts, and suddenly got an idea.
“Change my look? Into what?”
The remnant spirit was puzzled.
“How about this?”
Lu Ze casually tweaked some data, and instantly the remnant spirit transformed into a character wearing a blue shirt, with a buzz cut and white eyes.
The remnant spirit studied the new appearance for a long time.
There was an indescribable sense of wickedness about it.
“Not bad,”
the remnant spirit surprisingly gave a rare approving answer.
“That’s good.”
Lu Ze grinned.
This was the character HIM, the most talked-about urban legend in his previous life’s game, *Minecraft*.
In *Annoying Villagers*, HIM was the ultimate villain who destroyed the world.
This quirky, volatile remnant spirit of the Heavenly Dao, who could blow up the Tianxuan Sect at any moment, was actually somewhat similar.
“Oh, and you’d better give yourself a nickname... How about ‘Black Curtain’?”
“Hmm, later I’ll add some obsidian spell modules for you... you can come and get them yourself.”
“Don’t just stay stuck in the main world. When you have free time, go visit players’ illusion realms more often...”
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!
+【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!
u serious?" Chen Feng watched helplessly as his painstakingly trained disciple, fresh off a championship victory, publicly abandoned him. "You had your chance, but you didn’t appreciate it. Now, face the consequences of your choice!" Chen Feng possessed the "Master System," a treasure trove of supreme martial arts techniques, capable of molding ordinary individuals into peerless prodigies. "Legs like yours? A shame not to train in the Crippling Kick." "Ever heard of a palm strike that descends from the heavens?" "Auntie! I see extraordinary bone structure in you—a martial arts prodigy, one in ten thousand." The once-defiant senior disciple, now watching her juniors rise to fame one after another, dominating the internet, was consumed by endless regret.
saw a female celebrity tied up and stuffed in the trunk! Little did he know, countless cameras were aimed at him at this moment - this was a new type of reality show. The first randomly selected passerby was caught in less than an hour. But when Xu Moru was selected, things started to take an unexpected turn. "Damn, this isn't how the script goes. This Xu Moru is too bold, he's not following the rules at all." "Crap, is this guy taking it seriously?" "The female celebrity has been scared to tears!"
