Guo Yunfeng’s illusion world.
When the usually brash Xu Ci suddenly turned cold and declared that Lin Xi had to disappear, Guo Yunfeng was surprised.
Rarely did she ever contradict Xu Ci.
Then, just as Zhong Yi had experienced,
she was trapped, endured countless trials and dangers, and by the time she finally found Xu Ci, she could only catch a glimpse of Lin Xi being taken away.
If Lu Ze had built an illusion like This Demon Cultivator Isn’t So Cold, centered on forging bonds between cultivators and characters, Guo Yunfeng would never have fallen for it.
She would never follow a set path, leaving NPCs to perform a solitary act, making the story feel thin.
Lu Ze knew this well, which was why he chose instead to place the audience as a bystander, watching a heart-wrenching love story unfold.
Of course, a touching story alone wasn’t enough.
A narrative style like To the Moon Realm, which plants a major mystery early on and unravels it through flashbacks, combined with the Fear-Soul Heart-Twining Array seamlessly woven into the BGM—
The more diligently players explored, the deeper they immersed themselves, and the greater the impact.
To avoid Xu Ci, Guo Yunfeng explored the dream space with meticulous care—and that led to—
At this moment, she was on the verge of an emotional explosion!
‘No… I can’t fall for Lu Ze’s trick…’
Guo Yunfeng bit her lip, struggling to suppress the heart that had remained unmoved for centuries.
Gu Yun’s memories began to replay.
The scenes she had witnessed earlier, where Lin Xi’s figure faded away bit by bit, came flooding back.
At the same time, a melancholic melody began to play.
♪Words of sorrow linger, half-spoken yet held back♪
♪I stand alone, searching the endless night without trace♪
…
By the lighthouse, Gu Yun looked at Lin Xi beside him, his face full of guilt, as her figure faded away little by little.
…
♪Why do my words always fail to match my intent♪
♪Countless thoughts on my lips, yet none reveal my heart♪
…
In the old house, Lin Xi, lying sick in bed, held the blue-and-yellow paper rabbit toward Gu Yun, her faint question—"Tell me, what do you see?"—softly faded away.
…
♪If this whole world turns to void, only the moon shines on your face♪
♪I wish to take your hand and ride the wind, soaring together to the nine heavens♪
♪Even if the stars fall and the Milky Way grows cold, I remain serene♪
…
Under the starry sky, a boy waved at a girl.
“What if you forget, or get lost?”
“We’ll always meet on the moon, silly!”
The wind scattered the promise.
Their figures vanished into the night…
…
♪With you by my side, all is well♪
♪With you by my side, all is well♪
…
As the song All Is Well, adapted from the previous life’s To the Moon theme Everything’s Alright, began to play, Guo Yunfeng suddenly felt a long-forgotten ache gripping her chest.
Driven by All Is Well, the Fear-Soul Heart-Twining Array reached its peak.
Watching Lin Xi’s traces being erased bit by bit, her heart felt as if pierced by knives, her eyes turning red as she tightly shut them.
Even so,
a single turbid tear rolled down from the corner of her eye.
…
…
By the Idle Cloud Lake, the gathered cultivators erupted into murmurs.
“Did Elder Guo… just shed a tear?”
“It seemed like she wiped the corner of her eye just now…”
“That song really stung to hear! Especially with the images of Lin xi disappearing… It wouldn’t be strange if Elder Guo cried!”
“That Xu Ci looks decent enough—why would she do something so heartless?”
“So, did she cry or not?”
“Damn it, you’re asking me? My eyes are blurry too—I can’t see clearly!”
“This illusion is flawed? I can’t make out the screen, don’t know if Elder Guo cried, but I’m crying…”
…
The cultivators debated.
Some said Guo Yunfeng had cried, others said she hadn’t.
But whether she had or not no longer seemed to matter.
Everyone had already felt the devastating power of To the Moon Realm.
It was on a completely different level from the previous illusions!
Many cultivators present had eyes red and swollen from crying, and few had clearly seen the single tear from Guo Yunfeng.
At this moment, the illusionary projection over Idle Cloud Lake continued.
Guo Yunfeng’s eyes were red, and she watched in silence as Gu Yun’s entirely new life unfolded.
She saw him train diligently, saw him join the Nine Heavens Sect…
The more she watched, the more her heart felt heavy.
This was not the To the Moon Realm she wanted to see, nor the one Gu Yun wanted.
Until—a “plop.”
A violent tremor shook the dream world.
Without any warning,
a girl’s figure emerged from the Nine Heavens Sect’s teleportation array.
Gu Yun and Lin Xi met again.
Every earlier sadness had been telegraphed by the plot, giving Guo Yunfeng a mental warning to brace herself.
But this sudden reunion scene caught her completely off guard. Guo Yunfeng felt her own heart skip a beat.
Her eyes suddenly stung, her cheeks felt damp.
Guo Yunfeng touched her face in disbelief—her hand came back slick with tears.
“These are… tears?”
She murmured, staring at her palm, then at the reunited pair before her.
Love can cross mountains and seas, and mountains and seas can be leveled.
The corners of Guo Yunfeng’s mouth curled involuntarily into a smile.
Then, tears streamed uncontrollably.
…
…
At that very moment.
Around Idle Cloud Lake, countless watching cultivators finally saw clearly.
Guo Yunfeng was crying.
And she was crying torrents of tears.
“She cried!! Elder Guo cried!!”
“As expected of Old Demon Lu, he even made an Emotionless Sect elder cry…”
“Who says he forced her? Weren’t we all willing??”
“Love stronger than gold, love stronger than gold!!!”
“Gu Yun and Lin Xi—no matter how many times they reincarnate, they’ll surely find each other again, right?”
“Too bad it’s all a dream. Miss Lin… what a pity!”
…
…
[Moral Value +9999]
The cold system prompt turned into warm Moral Value.
Lu Ze raised an eyebrow, a hint of glee tugging at his lips.
The upgraded Moral System now awarded Moral Value for psychologically breaking cultivators too.
For someone like Guo Yunfeng, a cultivator rarely touched by joy or sorrow, breaking her defense yielded far more Moral Value than others!
“I’ll have to make more Emotionless Sect exclusive games in the future…”
Lu Ze stroked his chin, scheming.
The remnant of the Heavenly Dao beside him frowned: “She cried?”
Lu Ze nodded: “Yeah, wept buckets.”
“Looks like I won’t get a chance to step in, then.”
The remnant of the Heavenly Dao pursed its lips.
“And the payment…?”
The reason the remnant of the Heavenly Dao had agreed to serve as Lu Ze’s safety net was because Lu Ze had promised something very beneficial to it.
“You and me? Of course I’ll deliver on what I promised.”
Lu Ze calculated the time in his mind.
Seeing that the cultivators in the illusion were nearing the end of the story, he said with a grin:
“Don’t rush…”
“It’s about to begin.”
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?!
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.

u Chenyuan transmigrated into a female-oriented novel about a real and fake heiress, becoming the CEO elder brother of both. Unfortunately, the entire Lu family—including himself, the CEO—were mere cannon fodder in the story. Determined to save himself, Lu Chenyuan took action. The spoiled, attention-seeking fake heiress? Thrown into the harsh realities of the working class to learn humility. The love-struck real heiress? Pushed toward academic excellence, so lofty goals would blind her to trivial romances. As for the betrayed, vengeful arranged marriage wife… the plot hadn’t even begun yet. There was still time—if he couldn’t handle her, he could at least avoid her. "CEO Lu, are you avoiding me?" Mo Qingli fixed her gaze on Lu Chenyuan. For the first time, the shrewd and calculating Lu Chenyuan felt a flicker of unease.
