All 749 monks who participated in designing the project returned to their respective Illusion Towers.

The method for comparing results was simple: the cultivators, according to their respective numbers, announced their backend data one by one.

As the first contestant to register, Han Xian proudly displayed his stats in the air.

Instantly, several rows of huge numbers appeared on Illusion Tower No. 1.

【Serial Number: 1】

【Realm Master: Han Xian (Qingshan Sect)】

【Illusory Realm: The Enchanted Tower】

Total number of visitors: 141,933

【Total playtime: 2,904,921 hours】

This result immediately caused an uproar among the onlookers by the lake.

"This...this strong?"

"140,000 cultivators playing the game? Only 'Xianyuanzhou Action' can compare to that number, right?"

"I'm not mistaken about the length of time, am I? Two million nine hundred thousand hours?"

"The Linglong Tower Wonderland was open for a total of 11 days, and on average, each person spent nearly 2 hours inside it every day!"

"With so many, even Old Demon Lu can't win, right?"

"Looks like Old Devil Lu is going to get a beating."

"It's not as simple as just getting beaten up... They just told us not to hold back."

"Not holding back? If not holding back, Old Demon Lu will probably die here!"

"If we can't use magical artifacts to defend ourselves... we'll suffer fundamental damage even if we don't die."

"Could it be that a master of illusion is about to perish here today?"

...

As more and more data points are released, this kind of discussion is becoming increasingly mainstream.

Because the data for "Linglong Tower Wonderland" is exceptionally strong!

In terms of both player numbers and average daily playtime, it surpasses all subsequent fantasy realms!

In the past, when Lu Ze released a new illusion, he would post an announcement on all the illusions under his name.

This time, due to rule restrictions and the lack of prior notice, its popularity will definitely not be as exaggeratedly hot as that of "Xianyuanzhou Action".

Furthermore,

What is the difficulty level of "Xianyuanzhou Action" and "Slaughter Tower"?

Even with Lu Ze's strong player base, the cultivators felt that he was at most on par with "Linglong Tower Wonderland," both around the 100,000 level.

However, Linglong Tower Wonderland had an extra 3 days for release!

This chasm is insurmountable!

Amidst the gloating gazes of everyone eager to witness the fall of a god, the cycle finally came to Lu Ze.

Lu Ze smiled calmly and clapped his hands lightly, as the background data of "Slaughter Tower" slowly appeared.

【Serial Number: 749】

【Realm Master: Lu Ze】

【Illusion: The Tower of Slaughter】

Total number of visitors: 228,763

【Total playtime: 7,636,591 hours】

"Linglong Tower Wonderland", which had just been firmly in first place, was instantly pushed down to second place.

Looking at the exaggerated figures of the number of visitors and the duration of their visit, every cultivator present doubted whether they had seen it correctly.

"Seize the young master?? Seven...seven million hours??"

"It's almost eight million!!"

"On average... each person gets more than four hours of playtime per day?? How is that possible??"

"There are only 12 hours in a day, how could anyone spend so °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° much time in a card game fantasy world?"

"Is something wrong?"

"Shh... This is the statistic of Heaven, be careful what you say!"

...

This data may seem exaggerated, but it is actually very real.

If the timeline is extended further, the average game time might not be that high.

But if we only consider the first week, "Slaying Tower" is absolutely invincible!

The most addictive period for roguelike games is precisely the first few days after you start playing.

In the past, players at least had to eat and sleep, but cultivators didn't! 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

People like Zhong Yi can spend up to 20 hours a day studying card decks in the Immortal Tower.

Hardcore gamers significantly increased the average playtime for all players!

"No...impossible! There must be something wrong with this data!"

Han Xian shook his head frantically in disbelief.

He knew the quality of "The Wonderland of the Linglong Tower" better than anyone else.

Such illusions, thanks to the secret promotion by the Illusion Alliance, have attracted 140,000 cultivators to play. How can a card game illusion surpass nearly 100,000?

The game duration was an overwhelming victory...

The remaining 748 illusions combined are less than half the number in "Slaying Tower"!

The only thing he could think of was that Lu Ze colluded with the Heavenly Dao to falsify the data!

"I apply! Prosecutor..."

"Quiet!"

Han Xian's words were barely on the tip of his tongue when they were forcefully suppressed by an immense pressure.

【Rakshasa】 glared at him.

Although 【Rakshasa】 was unwilling to believe it, the data was true.

However, the 【inner demon】 repeatedly warned that under no circumstances should one question the will of Heaven.

Therefore, he naturally wouldn't allow Han Xian to do such a foolish thing.

What if it turns out that this illusion wasn't created by Han Xian alone, or even that 20,000 of the 140,000 cultivators were actually hired by the Illusion Alliance at great expense as shills...

No one can guarantee what the capricious Heavenly Dao will do then.

After thinking for a moment, 【Rakshasa】 cleared his throat, suppressed his resentment, and announced:

"The data is correct..."

"This proposition, Lu Zesheng."

"The second question will be announced tomorrow at noon!"

Having said that, 【Rakshasa】 turned and left.

"Brother Han, does our bet still stand?"

Lu Ze smiled, picked up the spirit contract from before, and walked up to Han Xian.

Han Xian clenched his fists tightly, then suddenly smiled darkly: "It counts, how can it not count?"

Lu Ze raised an eyebrow:

"Without magic weapons?"

"No need for magic weapons."

"No need to hold back?"

"No need to hold back."

Han Xian was extremely confident.

They had even secretly prepared a treacherous strategy in their minds.

Gao Luze is already a whole realm higher, so why would he need any magic treasures?

His cultivation technique is extremely ruthless; if the opponent's strength is insufficient, all attacks will be reflected back by him.

Han Xian had already imagined the scene where he would be injured by himself when Lu Ze attacked with all his might.

Isn't this also a form of insult?

After thinking for a moment, he puffed out his chest, set up several defensive spells around himself, and then provocatively said:

"Come on, hit harder! Don't hold back, or you'll accuse me of bullying you!"

"You said it yourself..."

Lu Ze blinked and shook his hand.

The next moment, zero frames start—

"Clang... Pfft—!!!"

Han Xian was speaking halfway through his sentence, and before he could even see Lu Ze's movements, he felt an incredibly terrifying pressure appear in front of him, and blood immediately spurted from his mouth and nose.

quick.

That's incredibly fast.

It was so fast that he couldn't see it clearly, and his soul was even blown out of his body before he could see it. He could only watch helplessly as his body flew out like a kite with a broken string!

Countless dense cracks appeared on his soul, and then he knew nothing more.

Lu Ze shook his head, looking slightly innocent.

"Uh... so fragile?"

...

...

Deep within Xianyun Mountain Villa, a pavilion stands in the sky.

"Outrageous... Absolutely outrageous!"

"You actually crippled my disciple!!"

【Rakshasa】 paced back and forth in the hall, his fury palpable, radiating a terrifying aura of killing intent.

He already knew about the bet between Lu Ze and Han Xian.

But to his utter surprise, Lu Ze, who was in the Nascent Soul Realm, managed to severely injure Han Xian, who was in the Divine Transformation Realm, with just one slap!

The physical injuries were relatively easy to heal, but Han Xian's soul was severely damaged, meaning he would never be able to touch the path of illusion again in this lifetime...

"Leader, if this continues, we are doomed to defeat..."

【Blood Raven】 frowned.

Now that Lu Ze has taken the lead and secured a point, the elders have no hope of competing for the Taixu Soul Crystal anymore, and they are standing on the same side in perfect unison.

Their current goal is to prevent Lu Ze from taking three points and stealing the Taixu Soul Crystal.

"It's just the first question, it doesn't matter if I lose."

【Inner Demon】 asked slowly.

"Elders, what do you think is Lu Ze's advantage in winning one victory after another?"

"The Way of Heaven?"

Without thinking, the four of them blurted it out.

This point can be considered a consensus.

In the eyes of the world, Lu Ze has reached where he is today by virtue of his connection with the Dao.

They even secretly believed that the exaggerated data in "Slaughter Tower" was modified by the remnant spirit of the Heavenly Dao behind the scenes to support Lu Ze.

Not to mention, the remnant spirit of the Heavenly Dao will also make a cameo appearance in Lu Ze's illusion.

For example, the architect in "Killing Tower".

How many cultivators willingly endured torment in the Immortal Tower just to catch a glimpse of the remnants of the Heavenly Dao?

Without the Heavenly Dao, Lu Ze's strength would be reduced by at least half!

"That's right."

The corners of 【Inner Demon's】 mouth turned up slightly.

"So the next proposition..."

"As long as we sever the ties with Heaven, we will surely be victorious!"
