Regarding "tower climbing" type games, Lu Ze knew quite a few.

But when it came to time killers, the first thing that came to Lu Ze's mind was the roguelite genre.

The reason was simple: high replayability.

The most attractive point of roguelike games is their "high randomness."

From maps to monsters, and even the player's attributes and skills, everything is randomly generated.

In ordinary single-player games, players might play through them three or four times at most after clearing the game.

But with roguelite games, even after clearing the highest difficulty, players will still happily repeat the process hundreds or thousands of times.

This is because every new run is a completely fresh experience.

Among countless roguelike games, "Slay the Spire" stands as a milestone "masterpiece."

It ingeniously combined deck-building with roguelike elements, pioneering the roguelike card game genre!

Before this, no one could have imagined that roguelike games could be done this way!

Just like at this very moment, in the entire Celestial Cultivation World, no one could imagine that card games could be linked to the concept of tower climbing.

After writing down the four characters "slay the immortal spire," Lu Ze focused his Divine Sense and began to construct the world.

"Should I choose the first generation or the second..."

Lu Ze pinched his chin, pondering briefly.

Compared to the high satisfaction of the first generation, "Slay the Spire 2" suffered from excessive balancing of numerical values in the Middle Stage, leading to a significant drop in satisfaction and a plummeting reputation.

Later on, the game company stood directly against the players, taking a stance for ideology, which caused its reputation to collapse completely, falling from its pedestal.

Putting aside matters outside the game, Lu Ze always believed that games should serve the players and make them feel satisfied.

Balancing numerical values in a single-player game was one thing, but adopting a strategy of weakening popular classes instead of strengthening weak ones was, in Lu Ze's view, not the best approach.

After much consideration, Lu Ze decided to use the early version of "Slay the Spire 2" as a template to construct the Illusion Realm.

This way, the satisfaction would be there, the online mode would be there, and the popular character, the Crown Prince, would also be there.

He would just need to enhance the visuals.

Not to mention winning, even if all the other 748 Illusion Realms were combined, they might not be a match for "slay the immortal spire."

Outside.

Most of the Cultivators who came to participate in the Illusion Alliance exchange meeting had some strength.

The Fragment of the Heavenly Dao had been in charge of the Illusion Realm for a year, and after repeatedly studying the Illusion Realms Lu Ze had developed in the past, the Cultivators gradually began to grasp the basics.

Starting from the fifth day after the first topic was announced, the Cultivators began to finish one after another, and Illusion Realms started appearing in the public eye one by one.

Every day, there was much discussion about the new Illusion Realms on the forum.

【 "Beast Taming Tower Defense" was finished in three days? The quality is a bit high! 】

【 It's trash, all leftovers from "Spirit Plants vs. Zombies". 】

【 "Flying Sword Legend" is the same; the visual quality is extremely high, but the gameplay is actually that same old "Demon Sect Escape" style... 】

【 Can't help it, all the Realm Masters in the entire Celestial Cultivation World have to rely on Old Devil Lu to make a living. 】

【 I think True Disciple Zhong's "Brave the Demon Locking Tower" has carved out its own path; it's quite interesting. 】

【 Fellow Daoist has also played "Brave the Demon Locking Tower"? This kind of combat design has a touch of Old Devil Lu's charm; truly worthy of being a member of the Lingxiao Sect! 】

【 Boring. It's not as good as True Disciple Han of the Green Mountain Sect's "wonderland of the exquisite tower." I don't think it loses to Old Devil Lu. 】

【 "wonderland of the exquisite tower" is actually the work of the Green Mountain Sect? Strange, when did the Green Mountain Sect produce such a Realm Master? 】 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

【 You can't say that. "wonderland of the exquisite tower" is merely a culmination of Old Devil Lu's Illusion Realms, whereas True Disciple Zhong's Illusion Realm has truly walked its own Dao. 】

【 Always with the "Old Devil Lu, Old Devil Lu," does that mean all the Illusion Realms in the world are Old Devil Lu's grandchildren? So where is Old Devil Lu's Illusion Realm? 】

【 Old Devil Lu signed up late and couldn't make a combat Illusion Realm. He's probably still brainstorming. 】

【 Huh? How do you do tower climbing without choosing combat? What did Old Devil Lu end up choosing? 】

【 I heard he chose a card game Illusion Realm. I'm afraid that's the only thing left to choose in that position. 】

【 Old Devil Lu is going to stumble this time~~ 】

The eighth day after the topic was announced.

Xianyun Villa, by the side of Xianyun Lake.

"Strange, why hasn't that Rebellious Disciple of mine come out yet?"

Nangong Yuan frowned and looked toward the center of the lake.

On the huge platform, there were fewer than a hundred Cultivators who had not yet finished.

The No. 749 illusion tower standing on the edge remained motionless, without the slightest movement.

"Elder Nangong, rest assured! Junior Brother Lu said that his Illusion Realm has infinite solutions and will definitely take first place in this competition!"

Zhong Yi said with conviction.

Upon hearing this, Nangong Yuan's face immediately darkened: "Pah! Stop cursing my Disciple!!"

Zhong Yi: "???"

"Good Disciple, how is the battle going today?"

Ever since Lu Ze affirmed Zhong Yi's Illusion Realm, Chao Wendao had been grinning from ear to ear.

Every half hour, he would excitedly ask about Zhong Yi's results.

After all, Illusion Realms were currently the trend, and being able to gain Lu Ze's recognition meant that the benefits obtained from the Fragment of the Heavenly Dao in the future would certainly not be few.

"It has dropped a bit more compared to yesterday... Junior Brother Lu was really right; it's a bit powerless in the later stages?"

Zhong Yi chuckled, not feeling annoyed.

He came to participate in this exchange meeting truly for the sake of exchange and had no desire for the results.

At the very least, "Brave the Demon Locking Tower" had received high recognition from tens of thousands of Cultivators, which greatly increased Zhong Yi's confidence.

Just as Lu Ze said, the gameplay of "Brave the Demon Locking Tower" using numbers instead of combat was a very excellent solution.

However, the method of clearing the game was limited by numerical values, which caused players to find it difficult to think about playing it a second or third time after clearing it; this was the powerlessness in the later stages.

At this moment, he had already begun to think about the solution for the "second-generation Illusion Realm" that Lu Ze had mentioned.

"How many people have entered your Illusion Realm now?"

Chao Wendao asked again.

"Replying to Master, there are currently 18,000 people, and this Disciple is very satisfied with this result."

Zhong Yi answered with a smile.

As soon as his voice fell, a sneer came from behind him.

"Tsk tsk, satisfied with less than 20,000 people? The Lingxiao Sect is nothing more than this!"
