"Oh? Being this generous now?"
Lu Ze chuckled, his interest instantly piqued.
He closed his eyes and quickly digested the information within the sphere of light.
Simply put, the Heavenly Dao Remnant Spirit's rewards were now divided into different tiers of prize pools.
There was one first prize, a few more second prizes, and the rest of the cleared illusions would all receive third prizes.
Lu Ze was one hundred percent sure that this Heavenly Dao Remnant Spirit kid must have gotten the inspiration from the gacha systems of Legends of the Three Kingdoms or Naraka: Bladepoint.
He felt a deep sense of relief at this moment. Fortunately, he hadn't copied those unscrupulous companies from his past life and made the drop rates ridiculously scammy, otherwise these rewards would probably be even more watered down...
As his divine sense swept over the prize pool, Lu Ze's eyes lit up.
There was a special cultivation method called the Dao Incarnation Art. It allowed one to embody the Dao within a certain space, controlling the flow of everything inside.
It seemed invincible, but in reality, it had a massive restriction: this space had to be created by the caster themselves.
However, for Lu Ze, whose primary profession was creating various illusions, this was a top-tier cultivation method.
"No wonder you said it looked familiar... So this kind of cultivation method actually exists?"
Lu Ze pinched his chin.
He couldn't help but recall when he was producing Léon: The Demon Cultivator. In order to make the whole story come "alive," he had racked his brains and transformed his own soul into the Heavenly Dao of the illusion world, earning the praise of the Heavenly Dao Remnant Spirit.
Looking at it now, the spell he had developed himself was indeed somewhat similar to this long-lost ancient cultivation method.
Since it could be placed into the highest prize pool by the Heavenly Dao Remnant Spirit, it was presumably no ordinary technique.
It was very likely an upgraded version of the spell he was currently using!
Originally, his interest in the Heavenly Dao Remnant Spirit's illusion competition and rewards was better than nothing at best.
But now, his interest was immense.
The spell he had researched back then could only be used on specific characters.
What if the Dao Incarnation Art was even more powerful than his own spell, capable of encompassing the entire world, all the stories, and all the characters within it?
Then the malleability of his illusions would reach a whole new level!
"Excellent. I'm definitely getting this reward!"
"Mortal, it won't be too late to say that after you claim first place."
...
...
"Haven't moved in half a month, my body is so sore..."
Withdrawing his divine sense from the illusion space, Lu Ze stretched his limbs.
For the latter half of the month, due to the tight schedule, Lu Ze hadn't left the illusion for even a moment.
The map of Delta Force wasn't exactly huge, but it required appropriate processing and magical modifications, making the overall workload massive.
He had to mobilize all of the cyber souls he painstakingly collected just to finish building the illusion within a month.
"It's really been hard on everyone!"
Lu Ze glanced at the crowd of souls in the Cyber Myriad Soul Banner, especially Zhong Yi and Zhou Yue, who were so exhausted they looked listless. He pondered in his heart what kind of magical treasures he should buy to reward this bunch of hard laborers.
His gaze suddenly shifted, and he unexpectedly saw Zhou Qiaoling's cyber soul beaming with joy, looking incredibly smug.
"Did you slack off again, you brat..."
Lu Ze's face immediately darkened. His divine sense quickly locked onto her, and he instantly discovered that this fellow had an incomparably dazzling Night Pearl hidden in her pocket.
"..."
Lu Ze's mouth twitched slightly.
He sighed inwardly, marveling at how these cyber souls were becoming more and more like their actual real-life counterparts...
"Speaking of which, it's been a while since I've seen Senior Brother Zhong and Senior Brother Zhou!"
Lu Ze stood up, yawned, and leisurely pushed open the main doors of the Spirit Jade Pavilion.
He just so happened to see Zhong Yi with a golden lotus manifesting behind his back, and Zhou Yue with black flames burning in his hands, standing aggressively at the door.
"Senior brothers..."
Lu Ze blinked.
"What are you guys doing?"
Zhong Yi and Zhou Yue looked at each other, their old faces turning red. "Uh, haha... The two of us were just discussing whether we should forcefully break through the barrier to go in and find you..."
Before Lu Ze went into seclusion, he had asked his master and the Great Elder to set up a barrier around the Spirit Jade Pavilion to prevent any disturbances.
Zhou Yue and Zhong Yi had been waiting outside for quite some time because of matters regarding the Illusion Alliance.
"An illusion imitating Naraka: Bladepoint? And it even got a Heavenly Dao reward?"
After listening to their account, Lu Ze took a light sip of tea.
"Junior Brother Lu, this isn't an ordinary imitation... The Illusion Alliance has an expert guiding them!"
Zhong Yi looked serious.
"Don't mind Old Zhong's jinxing, this illusion really is extraordinary..."
Zhou Yue chimed in.
"They really don't know the meaning of death..."
A faint smile played at the corners of Lu Ze's mouth.
Not to mention that Naraka: Bladepoint in his past life ended up killing itself;
Even PUBG, the big brother of the battle royale genre, was crushed by the rising tide of extraction-shooter gameplay in the waves of changing eras...
Therefore, he wasn't afraid in the slightest.
"This reward belongs to no one else but me."
ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
] This is a dark fantasy-themed dating simulation game. The main gameplay involves containing various monster girls and investigating the truth of a world shrouded in mist alongside your companions. However, due to his love for the dark and bizarre atmosphere, Luo Wei ended up turning a dating game into a detective mystery game. Women? Women only slow down his quickdraw! To Luo Wei, the female leads in the game are more like tools to perfectly clear levels and squeeze out rewards. For Luo Wei, flirting with every girl he meets and then discarding them is standard procedure. Worried about characters losing affection points? No need. With his maxed-out charm stat, Luo Wei is practically a "human incubus." A little psychological manipulation and those points come right back. It's a bit scummy, but the paper cutout heroines in the game won't actually come at him with real cleavers. However... Luo Wei has transmigrated. He's accidentally entered the second playthrough of this game. His past actions have caused all the girls to transform into terrifying yanderes. Due to the game's setting, most of the heroines he once contained are "troubled girls." Obsessive, twisted, mentally unstable, all aggressive yanderes... The type who will kill you if they can't have you... Luo Wei wants to cry but has no tears left. "I really just want to survive..." In short, this is a story of battling wits and engaging in a love-hate relationship with yanderes.
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.
