In Lu Ze's previous life, Palworld had lacked a clear main quest during early access.
Aside from a few introductory tutorials explaining its features, players pretty much forgot quests were even a thing.
By its full release, Palworld had introduced a very clear main quest.
The main quest revolved around the High Towers and their Tower Masters. The basic progression was to reach a new region, learn about the unrest there from NPCs, then challenge the Tower Master and conquer the High Tower.
Rinse and repeat.
When Lu Ze recreated Palworld, he chose not to copy that main quest system wholesale.
After all, Palworld's main quest progression was too simple. If anything, it would wear away the players' desire to explore.
Besides, his Spell offered tremendous flexibility in how the plot unfolded.
Lu Ze simply buried the main storyline beneath the surface, leaving players to uncover it themselves.
Guided by the Dao Transformation Art, the story would always reach more or less the same ending.
In any case, even without a main quest, players would naturally choose to conquer the High Tower, then explore an entirely new region on their own.
Simply put, Palworld in the Illusion Realm had a much slower pace than the version from his previous life, where players caught legendary creatures on day one and cleared everything within three days.
Slowing the pace might have been fatal in his previous life, in an age dominated by fast-food culture.
But to these cultivators, who were so idle they were practically climbing the walls, it was a feast of rare delicacies, endlessly entertaining.
That was exactly how Zhong Yi's group of four felt at the moment.
Every new place offered something fresh to stimulate their minds.
They never got tired of playing. They simply couldn't.
