To Harm the Righteous Path, I Had No Choice But to Make Games
Chapter 139: Lu Ze’s World
As soon as the version update announcement was released, the forum instantly exploded.
“What the heck? The entire Celestial Cultivation World can enter the Illusion Realm???”
“Does Old Devil Lu even know what he’s saying?”
“A Divine Sense Formation that covers the entire Celestial Cultivation World? Even the Sect Master wouldn't dare claim to be able to create something like that!”
“Not long ago, I saw Old Devil Lu and his Master entering and exiting Tianxuan Mountain every day, shaking the entire mountain and almost blowing it up... Could it be related to this?”
“Hahaha, if this is true, then I won’t need to come to Lingxiao Sect to mooch off the Illusion Realm tomorrow!”
“What is the Module Editor? Is it similar to the map editor in ‘Immortal Realm Hegemony’?”
“Am I the only one concerned about the graphics optimization?”
“Where could this Illusion Realm possibly have room for optimization...?”
“Old Devil Lu is livestreaming tomorrow? Is anyone teaming up to go into his world and cause trouble?”
“Don’t you know how Old Devil Lu got that title...? If you dare to go in, you’ll probably end up like the villagers in True Disciple Zhong’s hands.”
... ...
... ...
The next morning, at the hour of Mao.
Lu Ze started his livestream as promised.
As soon as he went live, Cultivators began to trickle in.
“The Illusion Realm Crystal has been updating for half a day, but what exactly has it updated?”
“Hahaha, I’m in tears! I actually entered the Illusion Realm from Limitless Sword Sect!! Am I dreaming?”
“Holy cow, it really covers the entire Celestial Cultivation World?”
“Old Devil Lu, you lied! Where is the graphics optimization?”
... ...
Just as Lu Ze was about to demonstrate, he suddenly saw a familiar ID enter his world.
He immediately opened the command bar, and after typing a string of text, Zhong Yi’s character instantly appeared before him.
“Holy cow, Junior Brother Lu? How are you flying in the sky?”
Zhong Yi looked at Lu Ze, who was stepping on a Flying Sword in the sky, with extreme surprise.
“Sword Flight, isn’t it normal? Oh, your Cultivation is too low, you can’t do it yet.”
Lu Ze said with a smile.
Strictly speaking, Sword Flight doesn't necessarily require reaching the Golden Core Realm to Cultivate.
As long as one reaches the End, and slays the strengthened Ender Dragon, they will obtain a component for artifact flight.
By combining the component with a weapon, it can replace the elytra of the previous life, achieving the effect of Sword Flight.
The bullet comments immediately found it amusing.
“Inner Sect Disciple accuses True Disciple of having too low Cultivation.”
“A complete reversal!”
“True Disciple Zhong gritted his teeth, unable to display his Cultivation in the Illusion Realm, what a pity!”
“Brother, I can’t do without your storytelling.”
... ...
“You said in the announcement that the graphics would be updated... How come I feel like there’s absolutely no change here?”
Zhong Yi didn’t bother arguing with Lu Ze and instead curiously looked around.
Everything here was no different from before.
It was still a rough, blocky world.
Lu Ze nodded: “You’re talking about that... Of course there is.”
“But the wonder of this world lies in it being made of blocks... Otherwise, it wouldn’t be able to achieve endless variations, right?”
Zhong Yi asked, puzzled.
In his opinion, the graphics of ‘my world’ were not a problem at all.
A world composed of blocks was the Soul of this Illusion Realm.
If one were to abandon this ever-changing logic for the sake of graphics, wouldn't that be putting the cart before the horse?
“As for that question... there’s no need to worry at all.”
After speaking, Lu Ze hooked his finger and pulled out the System options.
The two options, 【Advanced Texture】 and 【Ray Tracing】, were simultaneously opened.
At the same time, in his server, the 【Shared World】 option was also checked.
This meant that all players currently in his world could share his texture pack and Ray Tracing effects.
This option would place a significant Spiritual Qi burden on the server owner.
Because no matter how many people were in the server, the Spiritual Qi consumption would be calculated as a multiple on the server owner’s head.
However, Lu Ze didn't need to worry about this at all.
Because he had already agreed with the Fragment of the Heavenly Dao that he didn't have to pay “internet fees.”
The moment he checked the three options.
The entire Illusion Realm world began to undergo dramatic changes!
All the blocks, textures, and qualities instantly became extremely clear!
The surrounding water flowed, sparkling, and one could even see the ripples of the waves.
The weeds on the ground were no longer those blocky masses; one could even see the blades of grass swaying in the gentle breeze.
Coupled with the swaying sunlight, it spilled over the world.
It looked completely like two different worlds compared to before!
“Holy cow, awesome!”
Zhong Yi was momentarily speechless, only able to give a thumbs-up to show his admiration.
“These two functions are 【Advanced Texture】 and 【Ray Tracing】 respectively. Opening them will continuously consume your Spiritual Qi... But, I have a reminder for everyone.”
Lu Ze said with a smile, looking at the bullet comments in the sky.
“Everyone can use 【Advanced Texture】 as much as they want, but 【Ray Tracing】... well, do what you can.”
As soon as these words came out, they immediately drew ridicule from the bullet comments.
“Hahahaha, a block world, and he’s actually worried that our Spiritual Qi won’t be enough?”
“It’s just beautifying individual blocks, how much Spiritual Qi can that consume?”
“Old Devil Lu himself is only at Foundation Establishment, and he’s making an Illusion Realm and actually worrying that we can’t use it?”
“Who are you trying to scare! I’m turning it on right now!”
“Honestly, if it had this quality, I’d want to go in and experience it too...”
“Agreed! The previous art style was really unacceptable.”
... ...
“Hahaha, Junior Brother Lu, what are you saying? Senior Brother, I’m already at Soul Transformation, do you think I’m worried about consuming a bit of Spiritual Qi? Consider it putting some pressure on myself to Cultivate!”
Zhong Yi patted his chest indifferently.
“Alright, alright, then Senior Brother Zhong, make sure to use it a lot.”
Lu Ze also responded cheerfully.
“Since you’re here, want me to show you my base?”
Zhong Yi immediately looked forward to it: “Sure!”
Lu Ze threw out a red and white spherical ball, a rare item Zhong Yi had never seen before.
The moment the sphere landed, a huge, mountain-like silver-white Dragon appeared before them.
Because the texture pack and Ray Tracing were enabled, the entire Dragon looked translucent and very imposing.
“Holy cow, is this also... something one obtains after advancing in Realm?”
Zhong Yi climbed onto the Dragon’s back, utterly shocked.
He even began to feel a little regret in his heart, wondering why he hadn't focused on improving his Cultivation.
In such an Illusion Realm world, gaining the ability to perform Sword Flight and ride a silver Dragon made him feel more accomplished than in reality.
“This... this is not.”
Lu Ze shrugged and explained.
“This is a new function I edited in the Module Editor... Uh, simply put, it’s a Spirit Beast collection module, and some individual Spirit Beast BOSSes.”
“Module Editor? What is that?”
Zhong Yi immediately became interested.
“Simply put, you can create the functions you want, or the things you want.”
“Creatures, spells, or Moves.”
“Like this.”
Saying that, Lu Ze performed a simple edit on the spot, and a round disc covered in golden runes suddenly appeared behind him.
Three pairs of huge golden arms appeared behind him.
“Holy cow... This is my Move!”
Zhong Yi recognized at a glance that this was the Move he had used when sparring with Zhou Yue last time.
“Yes, but temporary edits only have the form, not the actual effect.”
Lu Ze spread his hands, and the golden arms behind him also mimicked him, spreading their hands.
“Amazing, Junior Brother Lu!”
Zhong Yi exclaimed from the bottom of his heart.
“Then why don’t you put these skills into the Illusion Realm?”
He pointed curiously at the golden arms behind Lu Ze, and then at the silver Dragon beneath them.
Zhong Yi could clearly perceive that the survival mode world was a very low-dimension world.
Perhaps Golden Core was the cap.
“Because if too many definitions are given, it becomes the designer’s world, not ‘my world’.”
Lu Ze explained with a smile.
“Then in the future, can we design our own Moves and use them in the Illusion Realm?”
Zhong Yi felt a little eager to try.
“Of course you can.”
Lu Ze nodded.
“Not just Moves, spells, items... ❀ Nоvеlігht ❀ (Don’t copy, read here) even all the worlds you can imagine can be created here.”
As soon as these words came out, not only Zhong Yi, but the entire bullet comment section erupted.
“Now that you mention it, it really seems promising!”
“With blocks, it seems like anything can indeed be made!”
“These are just appearances; with this editor, anything can truly be made.”
“No wonder it’s called ‘my world’... So you really can create worlds!”
... ...
Watching Zhong Yi and the many incredibly excited bullet comments, Lu Ze smiled slightly.
He didn’t tell everyone that developing modules wasn't an easy task either.
Especially skill modules and Formation modules.
If one didn’t have the corresponding knowledge and ability, it would probably be quite challenging to develop them.
However, the higher the Cultivation and the more profound the knowledge of a Cultivator, the more excellent the modules created, which conversely was a point that attracted high-level Cultivators to enter the arena.
Zhong Yi’s eyes, standing beside him, grew increasingly fervent, and he suddenly asked:
“Oh, Junior Brother Lu. Can you tell me about Redstone?”
