Lu Ze's previous life had two versions of the Doom Bots.
The first version featured the most overpowered bot abilities, often unleashing a relentless combo without explanation.
The second version slightly toned down the skill stats but introduced additional mission-based gameplay.
For example, reaching a certain kill count would grant team-wide buffs.
After 15 minutes, a Teemo Demon King would spawn, and defeating it would secure victory.
The biggest difference between the two versions was that the first allowed tower pushing, while the second forced players into a passive defense.
When designing the Doom Bots, Lu Ze combined the strengths of both versions.
The skill intensity followed the first version.
Additionally, once the bots achieved 20 kills, they would summon the formidable Teemo Demon King.
Originally, Lu Ze planned for the Demon King to spawn automatically at the 15-minute mark, but considering the impatience of the Heavenly Dao Fragment, he changed it to a kill-based trigger…
After all, the Teemo Demon King was played by the Heavenly Dao Fragment.
Normally, it appeared smiling and adorable, but when killing, its eyes turned blood-red and ferocious—a demeanor eerily similar to the Heavenly Dao Fragment’s usual methods.
Moreover, Lu Ze didn’t restrict tower pushing; in fact, he encouraged players to win by destroying the enemy nexus.
This way, they would spend more time in-game, allowing him to harvest more kills and Demonic Energy.
As expected, within half an hour of the Doom Bots' release, the backend Demonic Energy earnings skyrocketed.
Even the system’s mission requirement of 100,000 demonic cultivator kills saw a rapid increase.
"At this rate, it’s still a bit uncertain…"
Lu Ze stroked his chin, muttering to himself.
The system had given him a seven-day deadline.
Subtracting the day spent creating the Doom Bots, six days remained.
While the death rate among cultivators was high, many showed little interest in the event or the bots, leaving the efficiency unsatisfactory for Lu Ze.
"They need some extra motivation…"
……
……
Through word of mouth among cultivators, the Doom Bots became known as the Demonic Bots.
Half a day after the event launched, the forums were flooded with despair.
[My former Dao companion never cared for illusions, but I finally convinced her to try it. I wanted to guide her through a bot match, and then…]
[@Illusion Master Lu Ze, you old demon, look at this! This little bear is taller than the turrets—how is this fair??]
[Delete the Radiant Saintess already!! Her ultimate flashes are everywhere, and she even apologizes while killing me!!!]
[The real nightmare is that Teemo… I was just farming jungle when his head popped out of the bushes saying, "Found you!"—scared the hell out of me!!]
[Getting ambushed in the jungle? Try getting teleported out of the fountain and slaughtered while waiting to surrender…]
[So shameless! So broken!!]
[Wasn’t this supposed to be a "happy" bot mode? Where’s the happiness? Where’s the stress relief?]
[I don’t know about your happiness, but the bots sure seem thrilled.]
[That Teemo Demon King’s grin is practically splitting its face…]
[Forget the Demon King skin—it’s not worth it!]
[But… the skin does look kinda cool.]
[Wait, another announcement? Rewards upgraded??]
[What!? A monument for our sect!?]
……
……
Motivating players was simple.
Lu Ze raised the stakes again with a new announcement:
[Event: Demonic Bots]
[The Demon King descends upon the canyon, and heroes fall into darkness!]
[For the next five days, the first team to defeat the Demonic Bots will earn all members the exclusive title: "Demon Slayer"!]
[The leader’s sect will be immortalized with a monument at every fountain respawn point in the Immortal-Demon Canyon! (For rogue cultivators, their personal Dao name will be engraved.)]
[Champions of the Path, the duty to restore the glory of righteousness falls upon you!]
The impact was immediate.
The announcement ignited fierce competition among the five great sects and rogue cultivators alike.
Given the popularity of "Immortal-Demon Rivalry," having a monument at the fountain declaring, "[Sect Name] saved the Immortal-Demon Canyon from the Demon King on [Date]," was an unparalleled honor.
Now, even sect elders personally led their disciples into the Demonic Bots matches.
Rogue cultivators, the largest group, were especially fired up.
If they could etch their names above the elites in the canyon, wouldn’t that be legendary?
……
The queue for Demonic Bots instantly flooded with cultivators.
Even in solo matchmaking, the wait stretched for hours.
……
……
In the illusion server’s backend world,
Lu Ze arrived at the Heavenly Dao Fragment’s domain to find it had fully embraced its role as the Teemo Demon King.
Eyes half-closed, it reclined with a sinister smirk, savoring the chaos.
"Tch, you’re having too much fun."
Lu Ze scoffed.
The Heavenly Dao Fragment cracked an eye open and snapped, "I’m in the middle of killing—don’t interrupt!"
Lu Ze shrugged.
No arguing with this one.
"Hehehe… that was satisfying!"
After a while, the Fragment finally sat up, reminiscing about its latest match.
"Though, that one kid seemed familiar? Thick eyebrows, big eyes—looked like bad luck incarnate…"
Lu Ze nearly choked.
The Heavenly Dao Fragment and its avatars played the Teemo Demon King in the Demonic Bots.
Anyone matched against its true form faced a gruesome fate.
From the description, Zhou Yue’s encounter rate seemed suspiciously high…
Whether that was fortunate or not remained unclear.
"The event’s ending soon,"
Lu Ze cleared his throat as a reminder.
"Players are close to victory—it could happen any day now."
Over the past few days, countless cultivators had sought tips on beating the Demonic Bots.
To maintain fairness and maximize Demonic Energy gains, Lu Ze stayed silent.
But forum discussions hinted that players were piecing together the strategy.
The first victorious team would likely emerge within a day or two.
Fortunately, Lu Ze had already completed the system’s mission.
In just two days, the 100,000 cultivator kills were secured.
"Victory? Only by destroying the nexus… No one can kill me."
The Heavenly Dao Fragment crossed its stubby arms dismissively.
The pose was awkward—Teemo’s short limbs made it comical.
"If they lose, it’s the bots’ failure. What’s that to me?"
"Right, of course."
Lu Ze sighed in relief.
He’d worried the Fragment would resent losing, potentially ruining the event’s conclusion.
As long as it enjoyed the slaughter, winning or losing…
Meant nothing to it.
"I know what you’re worried about… but don’t be."
The remnant spirit of the Heavenly Dao let out a cold snort.
"These past few days, this Heavenly Dao has thoroughly enjoyed itself... so I left a few more things hidden within the illusionary realm."
"Those fated to discover them will naturally comprehend their meaning."
"Consider it a reward for these ants amusing me."

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.
