【What the hell is this gameplay?】
【Is Lingxiao Sect’s mid-laner intentionally feeding?!】
【So trash…】
【Zhou Yue keeps getting caught out every time—how is the enemy’s map awareness this good?】
【Hahaha, victory for the rogue cultivators!】
【Something feels off… Their mid-laner keeps swapping Flash and Ignite positions…】
【This playstyle… eerily familiar. Feels like I’m seeing traces of two old legends…】
【Now that you mention it, the top-laner’s mechanics resemble “Ghost Sword Immortal,” that one-trick Mordekaiser player!】
【“Ghost Sword Immortal”? Didn’t people say he went missing recently?】
【Weird. Even though the rogue team’s stomping, it feels oddly unsatisfying to watch?】
【Damn, what a waste of Li Moran’s skills!】
……
The barrage of comments flooded the stream.
No one expected the highly anticipated Lingxiao Sect team to be utterly dominated.
Two consecutive matches ended before the 20-minute mark, their Nexus obliterated with ease.
But what could they do?
Their two star players, Li Moran and Zhou Yue, were completely shut down.
The mid-lane, usually their strongest pillar, today played like a paid actor—atrociously bad!
Countless bettors in rogue cultivator gambling dens, who had staked their fortunes on Lingxiao Sect, erupted in rage, swearing to hunt down Liu Mo in person.
Now, the third match had begun.
Zhong Yi hastily adjusted their strategy, dedicating all vision control to Zhou Yue.
Zhou Qiaoling even abandoned her support role for Li Moran, roaming to assist Zhou Yue in the jungle, barely stabilizing their collapsing map control.
But a bigger issue emerged—
Liu Mo, the mid-laner, kept dying.
The enemy’s Dark Enchantress snowballed out of control, her ultimate instantly crippling Li Moran’s combat effectiveness!
Soon, the fed enemy mid-jungle duo tipped the scales irreversibly in favor of the Godslayer team.
Liu Mo’s Yasuo dashed recklessly into the enemy team, blatantly handing over another kill.
The domino effect began—Lingxiao Sect fell one by one, and Godslayer marched toward their base.
The stream’s chat exploded.
【Match-fixing! Match-fixing!】
【Refund!!!】
【Did Liu Mo bet against his own team??】
【Then why not throw in the finals? The odds would’ve been higher!】
【Ugh, scum like this should quit the Illusionary Realm and go practice demonic arts!】
【Why pick Yasuo with zero knock-ups in the comp!?】
【Even I, a rogue cultivator, can’t watch this—such a dirty win!】
【Remake!!!】
【Even caster Zhong Yi would play better than this trash Liu Mo!!】
……
“Why Yasuo? Hah…”
Zhong Yi let out a bitter chuckle reading the comments.
He didn’t know either.
During draft, he’d specifically assigned Liu Mo a wave-clearing mage to compensate for his “poor form.”
Yet at the last second, Liu Mo locked in Yasuo, claiming he’d “prove himself.”
Now…
Zhong Yi shook his head, face twisted in frustration.
If not for being on broadcast, he’d have cursed Liu Mo outright—this had to be sabotage!
……
Inside the Celestial-Demon Canyon.
“Dammit, is there still a chance!?”
Zhou Yue growled, staring at his grayed-out screen.
A long-forgotten powerlessness surged through him.
The others stayed silent.
By all logic, this was checkmate.
Then, Liu Mo—the first to die—respawned.
“Liu… Mo!”
Zhou Yue’s expression darkened, but he gritted his teeth.
“I, Zhou Yue, never beg. But today, I’m asking you to clear the waves—even if it costs your life!”
“Whatever happened to you today, we’ll let it slide!”
Liu Mo suddenly laughed.
“Heh… Hehehe!”
“We’re past pretending, aren’t we? You know.”
“Yes! They’re right beside me! They see and hear everything you do!”
“Tell me… Do I have any escape? Any way out? Huh, Senior Brother Zhou?”
The other four froze.
They’d suspected, but hearing it confirmed was another blow.
“They offered me spirit stones… artifacts…”
“What does this Illusionary Realm trash give me? Even with this talent, what’s the point of entering the inner sect?”
“Helping them win gets me more than Lingxiao Sect ever could!!”
“You geniuses with your heaven-defying aptitudes will never understand!!”
“Screw this damned sect!!”
After his frenzied outburst, Liu Mo’s champion vanished at the base gates.
【Liu Buyi (Yasuo) has left the Illusionary Realm】
The remaining four inhaled sharply.
They’d guessed Liu Mo was throwing—but not that he’d self-destruct so spectacularly.
He’d quit mid-match!
“Can… can we still turn this around?”
Zhou Qiaoling whispered.
Zhou Yue and Mu Yawen stayed silent.
Only Li Moran looked up at the canyon’s sky, as if waiting for something.
Outside the arena,
tens of thousands of viewers raged.
【Bastard!! He was bribed!!!】
【No wonder Godslayer always knew Lingxiao’s positions!】
【What kind of rogue cultivators resort to this!?】
【Well… the rules never banned it…】
【Screw that!! I’m a rogue, and even I say kick Godslayer out!!!】
【Agreed!! They’re ruining the scene!!!】
【What happens with a player down?】
【Where’s the sub!? Someone step in!】
【Holy shit, caster Zhong Yi’s logging in?? Trying to join the game??】
【The coach is warming up!!!】
【Hang in there, Lingxiao Sect!!】
……
“No!! Coaches aren’t eligible!! Why!!!”
Zhong Yi roared in frustration.
Tournament systems had unique restrictions.
During drafts, coaches could enter the altar to strategize.
If a player disconnected due to unforeseen circumstances, a substitute could take over—but only once per match…
……
Zhong Yi had tried to replace Liu Mo’s abandoned champion as the coach, but the system rejected him.
The respawn timer showed 30 seconds.
More than enough for Godslayer to end the game!
“Is there… really no hope left…?”
On the broadcast desk, Zhong Yi’s eyes reddened.
Their substitute, Bai Mu, had vanished a month ago.
How could they possibly summon him now?
As the members of the [Immortal-Slaying Path] team appeared one after another at the entrance of the high ground, Zhong Yi let out a deep sigh.
He rubbed the corners of his eyes and spoke in as steady a voice as he could muster:
"Though it’s hardly honorable... congratulations to the [Immortal-Slaying Path] team for securing this vict—"
Mid-sentence, Zhong Yi’s eyes suddenly widened.
Across the skies of the Immortal-Demon Canyon, a line of glaring text floated into view—
[Bai Mu (The Unforgiven) is joining the battle...]
The next moment,
a striking young man with a few stray locks of hair falling over his forehead materialized at the heart of the fountain.
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
and couldn't return to the real world. Finally, I gave up and decided to go with the flow, only to discover that writing a diary could make me stronger. Since no one could read it, Su Luo wrote freely, daring to pen anything and everything. Female Lead #1: "Not bad. This diary helped me steal all the protagonist's opportunities. I just want to get stronger." Female Lead #2: "I don’t care about reaching the peak of the cultivation world. Right now, I just want to enjoy the chaos." Female Lead #3: "What? Everyone around me is a spy? I’m the Joker Demon Lord?" ... It’s so strange. Why is the plot completely off track, yet the ending remains the same? Are you all just messing with me?!
[Dao Companion Rental System]. By renting himself out as a temporary dao companion to daughters of destiny, Qin Hao could obtain generous rewards. His service philosophy was simple: play the role of the devoted lover, resolve their troubles, depart without a trace once the matter was settled, and absolutely avoid entangling karma. However, those daughters of destiny didn't see it that way. That night, all the major powers across the Three Realms and Nine Heavens jointly besieged the Qin Clan, plunging it into an unprecedented crisis. "It's Su Qingyue! The peerless sword immortal who attained the Dao and became an Immortal Emperor in a thousand years, the one who severed the River of Time with a single sword strike! When... when did our Qin Clan make an enemy of her?" Qin Hao stepped forward, clearing his throat lightly: "Ahem, Ancestors, don't panic. She's here for me. To be honest... she's my ex-girlfriend." From another direction, the newly ascended Empress of the Demon Realm arrived with ten thousand demons pressing on the border: "Qin Hao! Today, the entire Qin Clan shall be buried with you!" Hearing this, the Qin Clan ancestors all turned their eyes sharply towards Qin Hao. Qin Hao scratched his head somewhat sheepishly: "The Demon Empress... she's also my ex-girlfriend." Before the Qin ancestors could process this, an aloof figure traversed the River of Time: "The Qin Clan deserves annihilation!" Recognizing the newcomer, the Qin ancestors paled in terror: "It's her! Liu Ruyan, the Extinction Empress who ventured alone into the alien realm and suppressed it for an entire epoch! Didn't she vanish into the River of Time long ago? Why would she cross it just to target our clan?" Qin Hao scratched his head again, looking even more embarrassed: "My fault, my fault. She's an ex-girlfriend too." Watching countless celestial maidens descend, the Qin Clan ancestors were utterly astounded: "You scoundrel! Just... just how many women have you gotten involved with over the years?"
igrating to the cultivation world for two hundred years, I've managed to lie low and reach the Nascent Soul stage. Only now does my golden finger arrive? ...
