Mission Complete!】

【The host has successfully plundered the Righteous Path's Luck and has become a half-step Saint!】

【Reward obtained: Ten Thousand Soul Banner has been upgraded!】

Lu Ze felt like something was off.

He clearly hadn't done anything; he had just stepped out the door to breathe some fresh air, and the mission was complete.

He even gained a portion of Saint's Luck for no reason at all.

After Zhong Yi's explanation, in everyone's eyes, his actions were worthy of the manifestation of the Sacred Phenomenon.

Providing employment opportunities for low-level Cultivators without taking a single cent, only deducting a tiny bit of Spirit Stones within the Illusion Realm...

He didn't seek a single shred of profit for himself.

A Saint.

He was so damn saintly!

But only Lu Ze knew that he was actually doing it to improve player retention and gain more Demonic Path Points...

Although he wasn't a true Saint yet, that wisp of Profound Yellow Qi had already granted him the favor of the Heavenly Dao, making his Luck far beyond that of ordinary people.

If anyone suspected him of being on the Demonic Path in the future, wouldn't they have to shut up once he showed his Quasi-Saint status?

Perfect!

Lu Ze nodded with satisfaction.

"Let me see what this upgraded Ten Thousand Soul Banner is all about..."

...

After studying it for a while, Lu Ze figured out the changes to the 【Ten Thousand Soul Banner】.

Perhaps because he had always relied on the Illusion Realm to complete the missions issued by the System, the rewards he received were mostly a bit "skewed."

Most of the Cultivation Techniques and skills were related to Divine Sense or the Illusion Realm.

This 【Ten Thousand Soul Banner】 was also an anomaly.

Lu Ze was used to calling it the 【Cyber Myriad Souls Banner】.

It didn't actually absorb the Souls of the original bodies; instead, it used Soul fragments to generate the players' "cyber souls" internally.

In other words, replicas of Souls.

Aside from being able to simulate player behavior within the Illusion Realm, their actual strength wasn't even one percent of the original.

However, after being upgraded by the System, Lu Ze discovered that the strength of the cyber souls had increased significantly.

It was roughly one-tenth of the original body's strength.

This increase could be described as nothing °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° short of exaggerated.

Because Lu Ze now controlled the cyber souls of more than half the Cultivators in the cultivation world.

If it really came down to a life-or-death struggle, Cultivators below the Undergoing Tribulation stage might not necessarily be able to take him down.

Of course,

Lu Ze didn't value these functions much.

After all, his main profession was making games, and he wasn't interested in fighting and killing; he just treated it as a life-saving trump card.

Fortunately, the 【Cyber Myriad Souls Banner】's enhancements to the Illusion Realm were equally powerful.

On one hand, the strength of the cyber souls had increased.

On the other hand, the efficiency of nurturing intelligent NPCs had greatly improved.

For an NPC like Su Dier in "this devil cultivator is not so cold," the difficulty of generation would now be even lower.

...

In short, Lu Ze had done nothing and got a free "Quasi-Saint" Luck, as well as the upgraded Cyber Myriad Souls Banner.

He was feeling incredibly good.

"Hehe, I wonder what the players think of me now?"

Lu Ze suddenly became cheerful.

The players always affectionately called him 【Old Devil Lu】, although he indeed often did things that weren't very humane.

But now, after the Sacred Phenomenon appeared, what would they call him?

Lu Ze happily entered the Illusion Realm and opened the forum.

Thanks to the existence of the Illusion Realm, news spread very quickly in the cultivation world.

The news of Lu Ze's Sacred Phenomenon appearing and his half-step entry into the path of a Saint was currently being hotly debated by Cultivators on the forum.

【What the hell?? Old Devil Lu has become a Saint??】

【Oh no, we really have to call him Saint Lu from now on...】

【Not necessarily, it's just a possibility of becoming a Saint.】

【Then what should we call him from now on?】

【I don't care! Unless he truly becomes a Saint, I'm calling him Old Devil Lu for the rest of my life!!】 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

【Old Devil Lu is now in the Early Stage of a Saint... how about we call him Lu Chusheng?】

【Not bad, we'll call him Lu Chusheng from now on!】

【Lu Chusheng! Lu Chusheng!】

...

Lu Ze's face immediately turned green.

What the hell is Lu Chusheng...

Your whole family are Chusheng!!!

Can't you say Quasi-Saint? Or Half-Saint?

If all else fails, since the Sacred Phenomenon just appeared, it should be Saint-Chu...

Pah, Saint-Chu doesn't work either.

"Forget it, I'm a Saint now, I can't lower myself to the level of netizens."

Lu Ze snorted and withdrew from the Illusion Realm.

He had to head to the Lingxiao Hall in a bit; the Sect Master had specially invited guests from all directions to celebrate for him.

After walking a few steps, the more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt.

"No! Even a Saint must have clear thoughts!!"

Thinking this, he immediately gave the Cultivator who led the call to name him Lu Chusheng a three-day ban.

The reason was the abuse of homophonic puns.

...

...

Luofeng Continent, Illusion Alliance Base.

Some were happy while others were sad; at the very least, the expressions of everyone in the Illusion Alliance Base were sorrowful.

"Heart Demon" had used the Soul of the Heavenly Spirit Body to catalyze a plan for producing an Illusion Realm.

Four Illusion Alliance Elders had worked together for half a month to finally finish the Looting Mode.

Just as they were about to celebrate, they received the news that Lu Ze had become a half-step Saint.

At this moment, the four Elders were like eggplants hit by frost, their faces full of worry.

"Now that Lu Ze has entered the path of a Saint and his Luck is flourishing... should we have refrained from doing these useless things?"

"Blood Crow" lamented, feeling a painful sense that all their hard work had been in vain.

"Elders, there is no need to be so pessimistic."

Heart Demon's voice was low and devoid of emotion.

"Lu Ze's Luck all comes from the Illusion Realm... what you and I have done is not useless."

"Furthermore, right now his Sacred Phenomenon has only just appeared... he might not truly become a Saint."

"Since we already know that the opportunity for Lu Ze to become a Saint is that 【Knife-run】 business... then we can naturally plunder that Luck."

Hearing Heart Demon's words, the four Elders finally cheered up and began to discuss.

"Plunder Luck? Does the Alliance Leader mean to do the same thing as Lu Ze?"

"The so-called 【Knife-run】 is nothing more than creating demand within the Illusion Realm... this is something you and I can also do!"

"Heh, then let's do it! We'll take away his power of Karma; we absolutely cannot let the Lingxiao Sect dominate alone!"

...

"What you all say is correct..."

"Since we are to take away the power of Karma, the most important thing right now is to seize his Luck in the path of the Illusion Realm."

Heart Demon nodded and looked up at the Void Realm, his figure becoming a bit more profound.

"The Luck of the Illusion Realm is held in the hands of that particular Heavenly Dao..."

"Therefore."

"In one week, the ranking of 'eight directions venerable' must surpass 'operation xianyuan zhou'!"
