The Immortal Realm Supremacy that Lu Ze had created was not a copy of any single RTS game from his previous life.
Instead, it brought together the best of them all.
In War Mode, for example,
he had taken inspiration from Red Alert, removing the population cap and giving each sect faction its own special units and secret weapons.
At the same time, he had drawn on Warcraft and StarCraft to introduce the concept of "workers."
The workers were menial disciples.
Menial disciples could both gather resources and construct buildings, making them the most basic yet most important resource.
By now, Zhong Yi had become quite adept at the controls.
His spiritual sense could lock onto any unit.
Once he locked onto one, the corresponding command spells appeared on the right.
Casting the appropriate command spell would direct the unit on the screen to carry out that command.
He discovered that menial disciples could not only mine spirit stones but also build.
After mining 500 spirit stones, Zhong Yi hurriedly constructed a building called the Martial Arts Hall.
Inside the Martial Arts Hall, he discovered that he could recruit four unit types: sword cultivators, body cultivators, spirit archers, and alchemists.
By this point, Zhong Yi was getting a little carried away.
The "combat" element that cultivators loved most was now poised to burst onto the stage.
Immediately afterward,
he also built a Spirit Gathering Array to speed up production, along with a Myriad Beasts Garden for recruiting spirit beasts...
In just fifteen minutes, Zhong Yi felt that he had already fallen in love with this illusion realm.
The guidance and design linked together like interlocking rings. He simply could not stop!
Once he had more or less finished building his basic infrastructure, a new mission soon arrived.
