"Lu Ze?"
"It's actually Lu Ze!?"
"How could it be Lu Ze!?"
"Could it be that True Disciple Zhong happens to be at Lihuo Peak as well?"
...
Countless cultivators erupted into exclamations all at once.
Even Lu Ze's master, Nangong Yuan, looked completely dumbfounded. His expression seemed to say, "Right? How could it be this rebellious disciple?"
He couldn't easily judge other people's disciples, but didn't he know exactly what kind of character his own rebellious disciple had?
Let alone being far from a sage.
Sometimes, he couldn't even be considered close to being human...
That was why he hadn't said a single word just now when the other elders were eagerly guessing their own disciples.
But at this moment, the result exceeded everyone's expectations!
Nangong Yuan froze for a moment, and then his beard couldn't help but curl upwards as he said in wild ecstasy:
"Hahahaha!! I said long ago that my disciple has a pure and good nature, possessing the bearing of a sage... Hahaha!!"
However, although the crowd was astonished, no one dared to question it.
This was a sage phenomenon sent down by the Heavenly Dao; questioning Lu Ze meant questioning the Heavenly Dao itself.
Lu Ze, who was in the center of the anomaly, was completely bewildered by everything around him.
It wasn't until that wisp of golden Xuanhuang Qi merged into his body that he was certain...
He was indeed the one who had triggered the sage phenomenon.
What was going on?
The one becoming a sage is me??
I walk the demonic path, for crying out loud!!!
Something must have gone wrong!!!!
Lu Ze's brain worked at lightning speed, but he couldn't figure out what was so saintly about himself.
"Sage" was not simply a title, but heaven and earth's recognition of one's deeds.
Those who could manifest a sage phenomenon were very few in the history of the Profound Heaven Continent.
For example, the ancient sect master of the Profound Heaven Sect, Sage Meng.
He used the entire sect's providence to buy a thread of survival for the righteous cultivators, triggering a sage phenomenon before his body died and his dao vanished.
For example, Sage Zhang during the chaotic times.
It was said that this person cultivated the Great Dao True Word Art to the extreme, even possessing the potential to become an immortal.
Yet he did not hesitate to exhaust his lifelong cultivation to shout the four true words: "To ordain conscience for Heaven and Earth, to secure life and fortune for the people, to continue lost teachings for past sages, and to establish peace for all future generations," opening up an immortal path for the lowly commoners in the chaotic times.
Or for instance...
...
In short, those who triggered sage phenomena were all top-tier, incredible figures.
They had either bled for a prosperous era or brought blessings to the people of a region.
And what about him?
Other than making games, it was making games.
Not to mention creating spiritual opium, he also milked players for money, tortured people, and...
"My good disciple, tell your master, what have you been doing behind my back lately?"
Nangong Yuan beamed with joy, holding Lu Ze's hand for the first time as if he were looking at a precious treasure, his smile as warm as the morning sun in spring.
"Uh... I don't know either?"
Lu Ze shrugged helplessly.
This time, he really didn't know.
The countless observing cultivators present were all dumbfounded.
"What? Even he himself doesn't know?"
"Could it really be that the Heavenly Dao made a mistake?"
"Impossible! That's the Heavenly Dao!"
"Could it be... that Lu Zhenchuan is secretly an ultimate sage who delivers all living beings?"
"Why don't you just doubt the Heavenly Dao instead?"
"Didn't he just create an illusion realm..."
...
Just as everyone was incredibly confused, a loud and clear voice suddenly rang out:
"Perhaps, I know why."
Everyone looked up and saw Zhong Yi flying freely in the air, smiling and giving Lu Ze a thumbs up.
Zhong Yi took out a spirit stone and held it high in his hand.
"Spirit stones... I presume none of you who could make it here are lacking in them."
"But have you ever thought that outer disciples lack them, and handyman disciples lack them... Those rogue cultivators without a sect to rely on would even fight tooth and nail for a single spirit stone."
"High-level cultivators will only get more and more spirit stones, while the resource gap for low-level cultivators will only grow larger."
"It is almost impossible for low-level cultivators to earn spirit stones from high-level cultivators, because they lack the ability to provide the things that you and I need..."
"But in Junior Brother Lu's illusion realm, we all have things we desire."
"And they happen to be able to provide them."
"In other words, Junior Brother Lu's illusion realm has given all cultivators in the cultivation world an opportunity to obtain spirit stones..."
"For them, this is a path."
"An immortal path that exists within the illusion realm."
"Now, do you all still think he merely created an illusion realm?"
After hearing Zhong Yi's words, many cultivators present nodded in half-understanding.
"So to speak, the reason Lu Zhenchuan could gain the recognition of the Heavenly Dao is because he brought blessings to countless rogue cultivators between heaven and earth?"
"Put that way, it seems to make perfect sense."
"Isn't it rumored that a great era of cultivation is coming? Perhaps it has something to do with this illusion realm?"
"It might really be possible... Is this the 'providence' of low-level cultivators?"
...
Lu Ze looked at Zhong Yi with sudden realization.
It was only then that he understood why he had gained the Heavenly Dao's recognition.
But he still found it quite bizarre.
I was just supposed to make games in the immortal world, how did I suddenly become a sage??
It was just a pity that without the Primordial Purple Qi, the sage phenomenon wasn't complete enough, so he could only be considered a sage in reserve for now.
"Junior Brother Lu, your Dao is different from others... 'Operation Xianyuan Continent' is only the beginning."
As if seeing through Lu Ze's thoughts, Zhong Yi landed beside him and patted his shoulder.
"If in the future, you can continue to carve out this 'path' in the illusion realm, becoming a sage will only be a matter of time."
Hearing this, Lu Ze immediately felt quite amused in his heart.
Isn't that just promoting gold-farming to the masses?
That would be too easy!
As long as it's an online game, you can farm for gold!
"Thank you for the guidance, Senior Brother Zhong."
Lu Ze smiled in thanks, but suddenly felt a slight chill.
Looking up, he happened to see Li Moran looking at him from afar in the sky, her icy eyes shimmering slightly.
"Has it already turned into me chasing after you so soon?"
The faint smile at the corners of her mouth was fleeting, and a sense of anticipation suddenly welled up in Li Moran's heart.
"'Operation Xianyuan Continent'? Interesting... I should give it a try."

agon king storylines. At the start, I obtained the "Ultimate Lackey System" - the more I act as a lackey, the stronger I become. What else could I do? I chose to become the personal henchman of the ultimate villain, Su Muwan. I provoke all sorts of chosen ones, snatch away their opportunities, and commit every evil deed imaginable. You ask who's behind me? Hmph! You're not worthy of knowing my lady's name! ...... ....... I am Su Muwan, the eldest daughter of the Su family. Since childhood, I've possessed extraordinary talent in martial arts, which led to my arrogant and domineering personality in my past life. I was even foolish enough to repeatedly challenge those favored by heaven, ultimately resulting in a tragic death. In this life, I must behave and absolutely cannot walk the same path again!! However... SLAP!! "So you're the Dragon King, huh?!" When I saw my little lackey swagger over and viciously slap the Dragon King who was hiding his identity, I felt my heart sink. Su Muwan's suspended heart finally died as she watched Qin Luo, her utterly loyal lackey, standing before her. She fainted on the spot from shock. Heaven is determined to destroy me!! (Pure love 1v1, light-hearted, no angst, single female lead, villain, reincarnation, lackey)
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.
