"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."

uld barely embark on the path to immortality. Just as he was on the verge of death, his golden finger awakened. No matter whether it was poison, drained blood and vital energy, diminished lifespan, or any other physical debuff caused by paying a price—once midnight passed, everything would be refreshed. From then on, whenever someone asked what kind of person Chu Ran was, the answer was simple: Forbidden arts that other cultivators dared not learn? Chu Ran would learn them. Prices that even demonic cultivators dared not pay? Chu Ran would pay them. Lifespan that even righteous cultivators dared not burn? Chu Ran would burn it. All the blood essence in his body? Take it. Want both his hands and feet? He would cut them off and send them to you. You say he’s finished? He wasn’t built to sit idle. You think he’s gone mad? No—he was simply waiting for midnight. From that day onward, Chu Ran would respect neither Heaven nor Earth, bow to neither gods nor ghosts. He had only one wish: For midnight to arrive a little sooner.
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.
