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."
transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
u Chenyuan transmigrated into a female-oriented novel about a real and fake heiress, becoming the CEO elder brother of both.

Mo Qingli fixed her gaze on Lu Chenyuan. For the first time, the shrewd and calculating Lu Chenyuan felt a flicker of unease.
young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic.

Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
