In Lu Ze's original plan, the Fragment of the Heavenly Dao would only have a chance of possessing certain bosses from the third playthrough onward, giving the cultivators all manner of savage beatings.
At the cultivators' current pace, reaching the third playthrough would take at least half a month.
That meant the Fragment of the Heavenly Dao would have to spend half a month bored out of its mind.
Over the past few days, aside from turning into a crazed old granny at the Ascension Base, it had been so idle it was practically about to start smoking.

"...Who?"
The Fragment of the Heavenly Dao immediately flew into a rage.
