Li Moran’s Illusory World.
“Before we start, let’s settle the serious matter first…”
Lu Ze glanced at Li Moran, the battle-crazed warrior clutching her longsword nearby, eager to jump into action, and quickly waved his hand.
“?”
Li Moran frowned in confusion.
“I mean… about the skin.”
Lu Ze reminded her.
Li Moran was puzzled: “Wasn’t it supposed to be a swimsuit?”
After Lu Ze had won against Li Moran in their sparring match that day, he made a request—to have someone endorse the in-game character skins.
He had made the same request to Zhou Yue, Zhong Yi, and others.
Zhou Qiaoling endorsed the character Hu Tao, whose skin was the popular swimsuit from her previous life.
Although the Heavenly Profound Continent had no concept of swimsuits, the classic design of a traditional Japanese school swimsuit combined with a sheer gymnastics outfit gave it a fresh, unique look.
When Zhou Qiaoling heard that Lu Ze would give her a set for free, she happily agreed.
Li Moran saw the skin sample and nodded her consent as well.
After all, Hu Tao’s swimsuit, aside from being a bit unconventional in style, wasn’t really problematic.
At most, it had that innocent and lively vibe, which felt a little out of place for her.
Seeing Lu Ze hesitate as if he wanted to say something else, Li Moran grew even more confused.
What’s wrong with the swimsuit?
What’s so shameful about it?
Lu Ze nodded: “It is a swimsuit.”
“Then it’s fine.”
“Then it’s fine…”
Lu Ze smiled and snapped his fingers.
In an instant, Li Moran’s classic training outfit transformed into Gu Qinghan’s swimsuit.
Though both belonged to the swimsuit series…
The latter was a pure and innocent school swimsuit,
While hers was an incredibly fiery bikini.
Li Moran was stunned.
That halter-style one-piece swimsuit looked to her like nothing more than two thin strips of fabric…
“Whew…”
She took a deep breath, her chest rising and falling sharply.
If it were any other girl, like Zhou Qiaoling, she would’ve surely covered herself up with both hands.
But a female war god was a female war god.
Li Moran grabbed her longsword and slashed twice at Lu Ze with “swish, swish” sword energies.
The most infuriating part was that all of them were instantly deflected by the other’s reflexes.
“Lu… Ze!!”
Li Moran’s lips trembled as she spat out his name through clenched teeth.
Even through the internet connection, Lu Ze could feel the intense killing intent radiating from her.
“Ahem, ahem, it’s the same series, and you agreed to it…”
Lu Ze’s face flushed, his heart racing as he tried to reason.
“Change it.”
Li Moran said coldly, flicking her longsword.
At this moment, she hated that this thing wasn’t a real sword!
“It can’t be changed…”
Before Lu Ze could finish, the female war god she faced sheathed her sword. “Then wait for me at the Spirit Jade Pavilion.”
Lu Ze broke out in a cold sweat.
She’s going to meet me in real life?!
“Whether it can be changed or not, it has to be changed!”
Lu Ze quickly corrected himself.
Then he waved his hand again.
A swirl of icy air wrapped around Li Moran like a sheer skirt;
Pale blue water orchid blossoms twined along the frost, forming intricate patterns and ornaments.
In an instant, Li Moran’s bikini transformed into another skin called [Fragrant Snow Water Orchid].
Having seen the bikini first, Li Moran looked down at her new outfit and was clearly much more satisfied.
“This skin was originally planned for release next year, but to accommodate your feelings, I was forced to bring it forward!”
Lu Ze put on a mock expression of deep sorrow and regret.
“……”
Li Moran was a bit speechless.
She knew Lu Ze all too well.
“If you have any requests, just say the word.”
“It’s not really a request…”
Having been seen through, Lu Ze calmly began to lay out his plan.
The highlight of this skin release was Gu Qinghan’s red skin, **Fragrant Snow Water Orchid**, and the red skin for the longsword, **Ice Soul**.
Both fit Li Moran’s image perfectly.
Lu Ze had it all figured out—he wanted her to help promote them.
In his plan, when the skins went live, they would hold a martial arts tournament.
Top players from various servers would be invited to duel in one-on-one knife fights.
At that time, he would log in on his White Screen alt and run into Li Moran.
She would be suppressed by him in the early rounds, but after switching to the new skin and the longsword, she would suddenly launch a desperate counterattack!
In the end, she would win the championship in style—and he had already prepared the champion’s splash art in advance.
Perfect!
Flawless!
A top-tier soft advertisement!
But Lu Ze also knew Li Moran well.
She only wanted to truly defeat him; she would definitely disdain any form of throwing the match.
To get her to agree, Lu Ze deliberately started with a set of swimsuit skins as a decoy, then planned to pull her in properly…
“Hmph, your scheme is pretty clever,” Li Moran snorted coldly, then the corner of her mouth twitched upward, revealing a rare smile.
“Since you’re so eager to promote the skins, I actually have a better idea.”
“Do tell.”
“Let’s make a real-life outfit. Then we can have a live duel at Juexiang Cliff… I’ll wear that sheer dress and wield this longsword to cut you down. The scene will be even more spectacular.”
“...Senior Sister, have mercy.”
…
…
Wu Ji Sword Sect.
Phantom Sword Peak.
Du Cheng exited the illusion, eyes wide with excitement.
“Elder Jiang! Elder Jiang! It worked, this formation really works!!!”
Hearing Du Cheng’s shout, Jiang Lingfeng, who had been meditating in the main hall, instantly appeared beside him.
This chapter isn’t over yet. Please click next page to continue reading!
Their “cheating” method was simple.
The illusion was maintained by the pervasive Heavenly Dao spiritual energy in the world.
Jiang Lingfeng had created a formation that consumed a huge amount of energy, with two functions:
First, to temporarily isolate the Heavenly Dao spiritual energy inside the illusion from the outside world;
Second, to actively send back false information through the spiritual energy.
This way, those inside the illusion could break through the rules Lu Ze had set within it without being kicked out.
“How’s it going? How strong do you feel inside the illusion?” Jiang Lingfeng asked with concern.
“Well…”
Du Cheng smiled awkwardly.
“Strictly speaking, it can’t be measured by strength points. That guy really is cunning—he locked down the strength parameter from the ground up.”
Jiang Lingfeng frowned. “Then what was all our effort for?”
“Don’t worry, Elder Jiang! Strength can’t be brought in, but as long as I operate within his rules, I can do things others can’t…”
Du Cheng grinned slyly.
He had tested it twice and already figured out how to exploit the formation within the rules.
For example, insanely fast movement speed, lightning-quick attack speed, a guaranteed 100% chance to vibrate the blade, or even transforming into a giant Buddha to hurl enemies far beyond the clouds...
Even without bringing one’s true power into the illusionary realm, reaching this level was terrifying enough!
Hearing this, Jiang Lingfeng finally relaxed.
“Heh, that’s good!”
“Once these cultivators get crushed, they’ll definitely yearn to bring their cultivation into the illusionary realm…”
“What fairness? Watch me tear apart your hypocritical notion of fairness!”
……
……
Meanwhile, on the other side.
The main server world of the illusionary realm.
“When will I, the Heavenly Dao, get to join in on ‘Naraka: Bladepoint’?”
The remnant spirit of the Heavenly Dao asked.
Lately, most illusionary realm players had been off playing ‘Naraka: Bladepoint.’
This left the remnant spirit of the Heavenly Dao feeling quite bored.
Opportunities to torment others had drastically decreased.
After all, in ‘Naraka: Bladepoint,’ there were plenty of chances for it to make an appearance.
Sometimes it would cameo as the Candle Dragon, spewing Earth Fiend talismans from the sky.
Other than that, it was just killing time.
Come to think of it, whenever it spewed those Earth Fiend talismans, there was one broad-shouldered, handsome cultivator who looked strikingly familiar…
“Soon, very soon.”
Lu Ze nodded.
This wasn’t just lip service.
Once the Battle Royale mode matured, the next mode slated for development was the “Path of Deities.”
This mode would be PVE, giving the Heavenly Dao remnant spirit plenty of chances to torment players.
“Wait a moment…”
Lu Ze glanced at a post on the forum where a newbie was crying about being thrown from Tianren City to Senluo Valley by a monstrous Buddha, then thoughtfully patted the remnant spirit of the Heavenly Dao on the shoulder.
“Maybe, very soon, you’ll get your chance…”

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
