“Task Complete!”“The Host personally led the Demonic Path to defeat the Five Great Sects of the Righteous Path!”“Reward: Heavenly Hidden Rune Disc”Lu Ze studied the Magic Treasure given by the System.This was a functional Magic Treasure.It could encrypt Formation and rune information, making it impossible to decipher.“Good stuff!”Lu Ze was delighted.He quickly encrypted all the main crystals of the four games that had already been released.The crystals in the players' hands would automatically be encrypted with the next update.He had asked Nangong Yuan for some encryption techniques.However, even the most advanced techniques could not escape the predicament of being forcibly deciphered by someone whose Realm was far higher than his own.What the System gave was different.This way, he wouldn't have to worry about his games being cracked and pirated versions being released outside.The money issue was minor.Once the Secret Realm was not released by him and didn't give him Demonic Path Value, it would be a huge loss.Having resolved a major concern, Lu Ze began to focus on serious matters again.The “Competitive Mode” version of “Immortal Realm Hegemony” had already been launched.It drew inspiration from the hero-version RTS mode of “Warcraft” from his previous life.The difference from “War Mode” was that it was more competitive.The settings for “Population” and “Immortal” were added, the values of various troop types were adjusted, and resources on the map were greatly reduced.Overall, it emphasized “competitiveness” more.Currently, “Competitive Mode” was well-received within the Sect.“Immortal” was the “Hero” unit in “Warcraft.”Lu Ze created them based on various powerful figures from history.Their skills were flashy, and their strength was formidable.The Disciples within Lingxiao Sect went crazy playing it.The only negative feedback was that the operation difficulty was a bit high.Especially when the second or even third Immortal appeared, many Disciples said they couldn't manage them at all.This led to an extremely exaggerated skill gap in “Competitive Mode.”Talented players, like Li Mozhan, could simultaneously control three or four Immortals, not even neglecting the surrounding small soldiers.Weaker players, like Zhong Yi, struggled to control a single Hero.When playing Lingxiao Old Ancestor, he would cast “Thunderbolt Finger” on a small soldier.It was said that he was playing 2v2 with Chao Wendao at the time.At a critical moment, he made such a move, which made Chao Wendao laugh, saying that if Lingxiao Old Ancestor saw this operation, he would descend from the Immortal Realm to give him a Thunderbolt Finger.Coincidentally, their opponents posted the match replay on the forum.Some busybodies recorded Zhong Yi's “Thunderbolt Finger” hitting a small soldier and put it on the forum for public shaming, which has since become a black mark on Zhong Yi's life.In addition, there was another interesting point.Since Lu Ze's overwhelming victory over the Five Great Sects in the competition, more and more Righteous Path Disciples began to play games using Demonic Path Sects.Lu Ze's underhanded tactics were also fully brought into “War Mode” and “Competitive Mode.”The Cultivators now were one smarter than the last.When playing “War Mode,” they could do without soldiers and laborers at home, but Spirit Cranes and Sky Hounds were essential.Saving a villager might involve ~Nоvеl𝕚ght~ leading the team in eight circles on the spot to see if any villagers strayed or fell behind.Playing “Competitive Mode” was even more outrageous.The Lingxiao Sect's tower-building advantage was well-known, even more abnormal than in “War Mode.”Everyone liked to go out and build towers to annoy their opponents, leading to a few days of lamentation on the forum.However, it was quickly countered by the strategies of other Sects...After all, the balance of “Competitive Mode” was still quite good.After “Competitive Mode” went online, Lu Ze designed a half-year update plan and then temporarily set it aside, letting it grow freely.The remaining time was spent on creating a map editor.The map editor for “Immortal Realm Hegemony” was a bit more complex to make.In addition to maps, Immortals' skills and mechanics could be designed at will.Most Cultivators had not studied the Dao of Illusion Realm, so Lu Ze also needed to design it to be as simple and easy to understand as possible.It took a lot of time, but Lu Ze believed it was worth it.In his previous life, the upper limit of “Warcraft” was infinitely raised because of its map editor.“League of Legends,” which dominated for many years afterward, and the once-popular “Teamfight Tactics,”Their original forms, “DOTA” and “DOTA Auto Chess,” were derived from the editor.Even cross-Domain battle royale games, like the shrinking circle gameplay, had already appeared in player-made maps.Once players gradually became familiar with the editor's usage, they would spontaneously design various gameplays.This way, “Immortal Realm Hegemony” could be operated for a long time.He could also continuously acquire Demonic Path Value.Most importantly,Once players became familiar with the various gameplays derived from RTS, and the audience spread out, it would be time for MOBA games to take the stage.Lu Ze released the map editor in the new version, then began to consider a more important question—What game should he make next?Since he made “Immortal Realm Hegemony,” he realized a serious problem.If he wanted to make large-scale games, the wealth he earned from writing novels was completely insufficient!During the game development process, the performance of skill effects required various techniques and Talismans to be combined and displayed.This was a quite terrifying expense!If it weren't for the martial arts exchange, with the Sect reimbursing the costs, the special effects performance of “Immortal Realm Hegemony” would probably have been much more mediocre.In addition to that, there was another issue that concerned him equally.He was still two thousand points of Demonic Path Value short of advancing to the Golden Core Stage.Once he reached Golden Core, he would have more game types to choose from!After a moment of thought, Lu Ze made a decision.First, make a small game to trick people and raise his Realm to Golden Core.Then, make a pay-to-win game to lay a good foundation for his future game Empire!“That's settled then!”Lu Ze nodded with satisfaction, then began to think about what game to make to reward his Senior Brothers.Just then, his transmission Jade Slip received a message from Nangong Yuan.“Rebellious Disciple! Come to Leigong Peak quickly, Elder Chao has something to tell you.”“Got it~”Lu Ze put away his thoughts and hurried to Leigong Peak.“Elder Chao, what can this Junior do for you?”Lu Ze looked cheerfully at Chao Wendao and Nangong Yuan.These two were also his great treasures.Among the Lingxiao Sect Elders, these two were the most fond of playing in the Illusion Realm.“You brat, these ‘War Mode’ and ‘Competitive Mode’ you developed are truly too taxing on one's Heart-Nature!”Chao Wendao glared at Lu Ze, feigning seriousness.“Ah?”Lu Ze was stunned, secretly thinking that this was not good.If Elder Chao also stopped supporting his Illusion Realm, then various rewards would plummet.He frowned slightly, pondering countermeasures in his mind.Chao Wendao didn't notice Lu Ze's expression; instead, he sighed and continued:“Look at the good deeds you've done!”“Since you played that match, how many Disciples have learned to behave?”“In that ‘War Mode,’ everyone is scheming against each other; just allies one moment, then betraying and stealing troop types the next.”“Even saving a villager makes them suspicious!”“And ‘Competitive Mode’ is even worse!”“Now the mainstream is one-on-one duels; everyone just wants to quickly kill their opponent!”“We are a Righteous Path Sect; if this continues, everyone will want to fight alone. Is this the right atmosphere?”After listening to Chao Wendao's explanation, Lu Ze immediately breathed a sigh of relief.“Then Elder Chao means...?”“Create a new Illusion Realm to rectify the atmosphere and make the Disciples realize the importance of teamwork again!”
