Lu Ze’s creation, *Clash of the Immortal Realms*, was not a mere copy of some RTS game from his past life.
It was a masterpiece that combined the best elements.
Take the **War Mode**, for example.
He drew inspiration from *Command & Conquer: Red Alert*, removing the population cap altogether, and instead assigned unique units and secret weapons to each sect faction.
At the same time, borrowing from *Warcraft* and *StarCraft*, he introduced the concept of “peasants.”
These peasants were essentially lowly disciples assigned to menial tasks.
They could gather resources and construct buildings, making them the most fundamental and vital resource in the game.
By now, Zhong Yi’s control had become remarkably skilled.
His spiritual perception could lock onto any unit.
Once locked, a set of command spells would appear on the right side of the screen.
Casting the corresponding command spell would direct the units on screen to carry out the assigned orders.
He discovered that these menial disciples could not only mine spirit stones but also build structures.
After collecting 500 spirit stones, Zhong Yi quickly constructed a building called the **Martial Training Hall**.
Inside the Martial Training Hall, he found he could recruit four types of units: **Sword Cultivators**, **Body Cultivators**, **Spirit Archers**, and **Alchemists**.
By this point, Zhong Yi was getting a bit exhilarated.
Because the element that cultivators loved most—combat—was finally coming to life.
Next, he created the **Spirit Gathering Formation**, which accelerated production speed, and the **Beast Sanctuary**, which allowed him to recruit spirit beasts…
…
In just a quarter of an hour, Zhong Yi felt completely captivated by this illusionary realm.
The step-by-step guidance and design were so gripping, he simply couldn’t stop!
After finishing the basic infrastructure, new tasks quickly appeared.
**Mission Alert: Your whereabouts have been discovered. Eliminate the incoming demonic scouts!**
No sooner had the prompt ended than a squad of blood-red demonic warriors charged toward Zhong Yi’s sect.
“Heh, these few fools dare challenge my Lingxiao Sect?” Zhong Yi sneered.
Earlier, to study unit traits, he had recruited three of each soldier type.
Body Cultivators were tough and heavily armored, with high attack power, but their movement and attack speeds were slow.
Sword Cultivators were agile and fast but dealt light damage and had fragile physiques.
Spirit Archers and Alchemists had the lowest health; the former dealt high damage, while the latter could heal allies.
Five demonic warriors were no match for Zhong Yi and were quickly wiped out.
“This is fun, this is fun!” Zhong Yi’s eyes gleamed with excitement.
He could already imagine how thrilling it would be once he amassed enough spirit stones to build a massive army and crush the demonic stronghold in one fell swoop.
**Mission: Dispatch personnel to locate the Xuan Iron Ore resource to upgrade your sect.**
**Mission Alert: Construct the “Heavenly Secrets Pavilion” to gain more map intelligence.**
“Heavenly Secrets Pavilion? Build it!”
Zhong Yi had stockpiled plenty of spirit stones and wasn’t shy about spending them.
In **War Mode**, buildings developed in a tightly linked chain.
For example, the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion could only be unlocked after constructing the Beast Sanctuary.
After building the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, Zhong Yi noticed a mini-map appeared on the right side of the screen.
Most of it was shrouded in darkness, only revealing terrain after his units had traversed the area.
Zhong Yi sent out his fastest Sword Cultivator to scout around.
*Clash of the Immortal Realms* featured a vast map.
Thanks to the extremely advanced level of artifact forging, the graphics and detail far surpassed the performance of Lu Ze’s previous life’s game.
Zhong Yi’s perspective followed the sword cultivator as they traveled, soon spotting a range of purple mountains not far away.
Locking his divine sense on it, information about the mountain range quickly appeared.
Sure enough, it was a vein of Xuan Iron.
Zhong Yi immediately gathered a group of miscellaneous disciples to start mining the Xuan Iron.
After upgrading the sect, the troop types also changed accordingly.
Besides the original four types, three new options appeared: [Talisman Master], [Barbarian Warrior], and [Beast Tamer].
The Spirit Beast Garden also added two new species.
Compared to the basic combat troops, their attributes were noticeably higher.
Before Zhong Yi could even enjoy the moment, a golden exclamation mark popped up on the mini-map.
A new task notification arrived.
[Quest: You have discovered a human village on the map! Please reach the location and rescue the villagers. The villagers will express their gratitude!]
[Quest Tip: Neutral resources may trigger conflicts. Please ensure your forces are sufficient.]
“Rescue the villagers? I’m on it!!”
Hearing the words “rescue the villagers,” Zhong Yi’s righteous passion instantly ignited.
He immediately mobilized all the troops at his disposal and charged toward the golden exclamation mark.
During the game’s development, Lu Ze had incorporated many cultivation world elements to localize this ultimate patchwork monster.
For example, random villages would be scattered across the map.
The righteous path could escort villagers to safety, earning supplies and occasionally special enhanced troops.
The demonic path could massacre villages, absorbing vitality to boost their overall cultivation and troop strength.
Zhong Yi led his troops swiftly to the rescue point.
The demonic faction arrived late and engaged Zhong Yi in battle.
At this time, the demonic forces were still weak.
They were all low-level soldiers, easily wiped out by Zhong Yi, who then happily led a group of villagers back to base.
“Man, this is awesome! This illusion is way too fun!!!”
Looking at the spirit stones and Xuan Iron the villagers gifted him, Zhong Yi felt ecstatic.
None of Lu Ze’s previous illusions had ever been this satisfying.
《Demonic Sect Escape》 passed three thousand steps with ever-changing chaos, hard to predict with the naked eye.
《Plants vs. Zombies》 endless mode was constantly tormented by red-eyed barbarian zombies.
《If You’re a Cultivator, Go Down One Hundred Floors》 was even worse, quickly turning into a nightmare for all cultivators…
But here in 《Contending for the Immortal Realm》,
the style suddenly shifted!
Not only was it novel, but it was also fun.
The key point was the thrill!
Zhong Yi had already begun fantasizing about his sect reaching the top tier, countless world-shattering cultivators becoming his forces, and him sweeping across the world…
“As expected… even Lu Ze wouldn’t let us righteous folks get beaten when it comes to serious matters like the righteous and demonic paths!”
Zhong Yi muttered to himself with a sense of pride.
Just then, a new system notification arrived.
[Congratulations, you have completed the novice tutorial!]
[You can now start challenging the demonic army~]
[Quest Tip: The demonic sect has discovered your trail, and an endless stream of demonic forces is closing in on you…]
he colors of other people’s emotions. Light red meant anxiety. Gray meant exhaustion. Orange meant excitement. Yellow... meant repression. At the same time, he could gain unlimited control over one of those colors. Pale cyan: relaxation. Using this ability, he started offering “two-yuan hugs,” spending an afternoon exchanging emotional-color experiences with others. Then came his final female customer of the day— a girl whose emotional color was pure black... —— A week later, Xu Chuan had become skilled at using pale cyan—Relaxation—treating it like a bottle of menthol balm whenever he needed it. That was when he discovered he had unlocked another unlimited emotional color: Purple, the color of fear. So these emotional colors refresh every week? Fine, I take it back—I’ll never call you useless again... —— Much later, after Xu Chuan had accumulated countless emotional abilities, one night, he suddenly found himself inside someone else’s dream. There, he could use the emotional colors he possessed to paint. And in her dream, he painted her a shower of pink shooting stars, spreading across the depths of the night sky...
s the Eldest Princess, renowned for her cold and aloof detachment, became the most docile of lambs, obeying his every command without question. But when the final move was played on the chessboard, as Gu Chenghan seized everything and ascended on the verge of apotheosis, that very Princess suddenly embraced him from behind, her tone carrying a dependence never heard before: "Wait... you haven't yet... commanded me to love you forever." Gu Chenghan froze abruptly. She... hadn't been hypnotized?! ... [The Eldest Princess's Diary] [When my soul was extracted, becoming the sole spectator outside my own shell] [At first, there was overwhelming fury, until I saw] [How he used my sword to effortlessly shatter my inescapable doom] [How he wielded my authority to eradicate fatal conspiracies I had never even detected] [Like a deity, he rescued me from the deep mire I was trapped in] [If not for those annoying vixens, he and I would be a match made in heaven] [I think I am ill, gravely ill] [My deity should belong to me alone] ... "Hypnosis? Oh, it succeeded, my dear Master." "Only this time, it's my turn to hypnotize you."
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.
e school belle recognized by the whole school, a genius girl from the kendo club. She also has a hidden identity, the youngest legendary demon hunter. Chen Shuo just transmigrated and found himself turned into a weak, helpless little vampire. He was caught by Su Xiyen and taken home at the very beginning. Since then, Chen Shuo's life creed only had two items. "First, classmate Su Xiyen is always right." "Second, if classmate Su Xiyen is wrong, please refer back to item one." Many years later, Chen Shuo, who had turned back into a human, led a pair of twins to appear in front of all the vampires to share the secret of how he turned back into a human. "It's simple, I tricked a female demon hunter into becoming my wife!"
