The Heavenly Dao competition came to a perfect conclusion.

Although the final scene was particularly eerie, with no survivors in the entire aerospace base, the Old Lady and the Chariot took the title of 【celestial chosen】 (MVP)...

However, the supplies of 【Team】 were still leading by a massive margin, remaining in first place.

Because 【Last Twilight】 was kicked for cheating, the Fragment of the Heavenly Dao raised the ranking of every Team by one, so not a single contestant had any complaints.

Many Cultivators watching the competition also made a killing.

Originally, placing bets would only earn a pittance.

After all, almost no one would place bets on Teams other than 【Team】.

Yet, someone suddenly placed a large amount of bets on 【Last Twilight】, which allowed the Cultivators to make a big profit instead.

In the half-month after the competition ended, the Cultivators were all curious about which kind soul it was, raising the living standards of ordinary Cultivators...

"Everyone made money, so who exactly is losing?"

Lu Ze looked at the backend of the gambling house Illusion Realm and couldn't help but want to laugh.

After the results of the gambling match came out, he was able to see the names of the bettors.

Upon learning it was 【Blood Crow】 and 【Rakshasa】, Lu Ze was amused beyond words.

The bad idea was clearly thought up by 【Rakshasa】.

It was said that last time, 【Rakshasa】 was almost beaten to death by 【Blood Crow】, and this time, who knew if anyone would save him again...

【Congratulations to the Host for successfully killing Righteous Cultivators, restoring the reputation of the Demonic Path, and seizing the Heavenly Dao secret treasure within the Secret Realm!】

【Reward obtained: Taixu Soul Pill x1】

【Taixu Soul Pill: A Medicinal Pill version of the "taixu soul crystal" hand-crafted by ancient Cultivators, temporarily possessing some of the effects of the "taixu soul crystal". After consumption, Divine Sense can be explosively strengthened for a short time.】

"taixu soul crystal? Another thing I've never heard of..."

Lu Ze looked at the Medicinal Pill with a feeling of not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

To say it's useless, well, it's at least related to Divine Sense.

To say it's useful...

It's a temporary Medicinal Pill and of no benefit to creating Illusion Realms.

It explodes for a moment and then fizzles out; I won't be able to support such a large Illusion Realm during subsequent creation.

I can only put it in my pocket for now.

"I have to find that kid, the Heavenly Dao, another day and see if there are any taixu soul crystals..."

Lu Ze curled his lips and entered the Illusion Realm.

According to the nature of this System, since the mission reward was issued, it meant the Heavenly Dao's reward was also issued.

Sure enough, as soon as he entered the server Illusion Realm, a System notification popped up in his face.

【Competition rewards have been issued, please check them within the Illusion Realm!】

Thinking of the miserable experience of opening the prize last time, Lu Ze hurriedly arrived at the server world where the Fragment of the Heavenly Dao resided.

"?"

The Fragment of the Heavenly Dao glanced at him.

"I'm so nervous!"

Lu Ze rubbed his palms, his whole body trembling.

Fragment of the Heavenly Dao: "???"

"What if it's not the Dao Transformation Art?"

"..."

"Please, it must be the Dao Transformation Art! It must be!!"

Lu Ze went through the motions of praying to gods and Buddhas, then opened the championship reward chest with extreme nervousness.

【Congratulations on obtaining: Dao Transformation Art!】

"Hahaha! Great!! It really is the Dao Transformation Art!!!"

Lu Ze tucked the Dao Transformation Art away with a fake smile, silently complaining in his heart that the Fragment of the Heavenly Dao was petty.

"Right, the people who cheated just now, have you found them?"

"Hmm."

The Fragment of the Heavenly Dao nodded.

"Those three were already dead when I arrived."

"Dead?"

Lu Ze was startled.

As expected of the Celestial Cultivation World, the risk of using cheats is so high; this is much more serious than getting banned.

"Someone set up a magic formation, using their Divine Sense as an anchor point to perform tricks in the Illusion Realm..."

The Fragment of the Heavenly Dao snorted coldly and explained.

"However, the erosion effect of the magic formation was great, and those three were already like candles in the wind within the Illusion Realm."

"So that's how it is..."

Lu Ze nodded.

Setting up a formation from the outside and using the Physical Body as a fulcrum to interfere with the Illusion Realm is indeed the only way to cheat.

Anyone who can do this must be someone with unfathomable Cultivation.

【Blood Crow】 and 【Rakshasa】 placing bets in advance clearly meant they knew 【Last Twilight】 had a trump card.

So the identity of this person who set up the formation is obvious—

The leader of the Illusion Alliance.

"What about the formation master? Have you found them?"

Lu Ze asked hurriedly.

"Hmm, right next to the three of them."

The Fragment of the Heavenly Dao nodded.

"I slapped them to death."

"Slapped... slapped to death?"

Lu Ze was first startled, then quickly relieved.

So far, he seemed to have never seen anyone who could withstand a serious slap from the Fragment of the Heavenly Dao.

The One-Slap Superman really lived up to his reputation.

"However... the feeling of the slap was strange."

The Fragment of the Heavenly Dao recalled the scene at the time and continued.

"It seemed to be some kind of spirit body."

"Spirit body?"

Lu Ze pinched his chin and pondered for a while.

"Did you see his face clearly?"

"Heh, when has this Heavenly Dao ever paid attention to such things? If they dare to offend again, I'll just slap them again."

The Fragment of the Heavenly Dao said proudly.

Lu Ze curled his lips and did not ask further.

That makes sense.

Under the heavens, when has the Fragment of the Heavenly Dao ever looked at anyone properly?

Except for Lu Ze, the only Cultivator who could leave a slight impression on the Fragment of the Heavenly Dao was that "thick-browed, big-eyed, and somewhat down-on-his-luck looking" Cultivator.

"Right."

Lu Ze suddenly remembered something and looked at the Fragment of the Heavenly Dao with a grin.

"What is it?"

"Can you put a 【taixu soul crystal】 in the prize pool next time?"

"...Get lost."

...

...

Half a month later.

"What kind of ghost Cultivation Technique is this? It's so hard to Cultivate!?"

Lu Ze threw the Dao Transformation Art on the ground with a depressed look.

Since he obtained the Immortal Body from the System, he learned any skill just by going through it once; his talent could be called the best in the world.

Yet, this Dao Transformation Art took him a full half-month just to get started!

Today, having finally learned it, Lu Ze hurriedly invested the enlightenment insights he had just obtained into it.

As a result, ten years passed, and there was no movement.

Fifty years passed, and he was slightly proficient, not even reaching Minor Achievement.

This depressed Lu Ze greatly.

He even suspected that he had received a fake Cultivation Technique!

"No, I have to go find him!"

Lu Ze gritted his teeth, and his Divine Sense sank into the server world of the Fragment of the Heavenly Dao.

"Oh? You learned it?"

The Fragment of the Heavenly Dao saw the difference in Lu Ze's Divine Sense level at a glance and was slightly surprised.

Even though it knew Lu Ze was a peerless Genius, it still thought it would take at least three months to get started with the obscure and difficult Dao Transformation Art.

Half a month, not only started, but even somewhat proficient...

In the long years it had experienced, he could be considered a unique Genius.

"Why is this crappy Cultivation Technique so hard to Cultivate?"

Lu Ze asked in confusion.

"Hmm, it has a matching Mind-Cultivation Technique; it is indeed difficult to Cultivate alone."

The Fragment of the Heavenly Dao nodded.

"???"

Lu Ze was speechless.

Why didn't you say that earlier?

"What about the Mind-Cultivation Technique? Let me see it!"

"I don't have it."

"???"

"I'm not a junk collector; why would I pick up so much?"

"You kid..."

Lu Ze gnashed his teeth in hatred.

No wonder it's so hard to Cultivate!

So I was forcing myself to learn it without the Mind-Cultivation Technique!

But he had already invested 50 years of enlightenment insights into it; it would be a huge loss if he didn't Cultivate it.

Moreover, the improvement of the Dao Transformation Art for plot-based games is not insignificant!

After pondering for a moment, Lu Ze exited the Illusion Realm and chose to go all-in.

One hundred years!

Minor Achievement! 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Two hundred years!

Major Achievement!

Three hundred years!

Great Perfection!

Watching more than three hundred years of hard-earned enlightenment insights being squandered, Lu Ze felt a bit of heartache.

He felt he had to make up for it somehow.

Now that the Dao Transformation Art is at Great Perfection, his control over the world of plot-based Illusion Realms has reached a new level.

"I must severely torture the Righteous Cultivators..."

【The content of the Delta has finally been written, let's talk about this book.】

Let me give you a preview: this book will have at least 1.2 million characters.

"Red Dead Redemption", "2077", and "Black Myth" already have preliminary localization plans.

But how many I will actually write depends on whether it can make a comeback at 1 million characters.

This book once had a history of 300,000 readers and 20,000 people following it steadily; it wasn't as bad as it is now.

Each book has two opportunities to change its title, and each time it could be Heaven-Defying.

This book was initially called "To Harm the Righteous Path, I Had to Make Games".

It fits the content well, but it doesn't attract traffic.

For better results, I used the first opportunity to change the title at 500,000 characters.

At that time, I had 5 titles, such as "I, the Demonic Path Planner, Torture Billions of Cultivators", "After Making Games, My Demonic Path Identity Can't Be Hidden"...

In the end, the title "Death in Illusion Realm Increases Cultivation? I Rely on Games to Achieve Immortal Ascension!" worked best and became the new title, which is what readers see now.

The old title had decent results, so a new one should be better, right?

As a result, the sky collapsed, and the traffic plummeted.

Looking back now, this title also fits my novel very well.

Players die in the Illusion Realm, Lu Ze gains Cultivation, relying on game creation to Cultivate... it's all spot on.

In reality, it's not like that at all in the eyes of passersby!

90% of passersby will think this is a Cultivation novel with a simulator-like Golden Finger where you can get rewards even after death.

In other words, the pushed reader group was ruined.

Many people say that this book falling to today's data is all the author's own doing.

It's all because the author stopped updating, it's all because XXX is written badly...

Actually, it's not.

Last September, when I was writing the most exciting dungeon of this book, "this devil cultivator is not so cold", this book had no traffic. (At that time, I realized ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) that nothing could change it, so I just slacked off on updates.)

Last month, I worked without a break for the whole month, and the traffic was not even as good as the previous months when I was slacking off...

When the algorithm puts this book in the cold palace, no matter how well or diligently you write, it's of no use.

Because of the new title, this book has been abandoned by the algorithm.

In the last ten days, the new traffic pushed every day is less than a thousand; I might as well update my first old book...

I have had thoughts of giving up countless times, but I still can't bear to part with the stories and characters in this book.

1 million characters, there is still one more opportunity to change the title, a Heaven-Defying opportunity, so I can only bite the bullet and write.

Write to 1 million characters to see if this book can turn around.

In the last ten days, this book has basically been in a state of no traffic pushes, with only a few hundred new readers pushed every day; it's really very difficult.

If you have free gifts, please give some to this book.
