Zhong Yi and Mu Yawen struggled against jungle monsters and the enemy AI while Li Moran dominated top lane. After Zhou Yue discovered that the AIs became exceptionally strong against Teemo and Luban, the team used them as bait while Li Moran pushed for a backdoor victory.

• Mu Yawen used a health-draining skill against the Crimson Treant, and Zhong Yi joined her before both were killed by the monster.

• Zhou Yue tried to gank the Dark Child, but she abruptly displayed far stronger mechanics and killed him.

• Zhou Qiaoling asked to eat a cannon minion to heal, then swallowed it before Zhou Yue could finish it, leaving him furious about playing bottom lane alone against three opponents.

Mu Yawen’s team struggled in the Illusion Realm match, but Zhong Yi’s farming eventually helped them stage a comeback. After playing more matches, Zhong Yi entered AI mode alone to practice, unaware of the traps Lu Ze had planted.

• Mu Yawen’s ultimate missed Shen’s Poppy and Garen, while Zhong Yi’s Windstorm Blade mistakenly launched him among the minions because of a bug.

• Zhong Yi instalocked the Wind Sword Master, eager to defeat the AI, unaware that Lu Ze had set traps in AI matches.

Lu Ze’s punishing high-difficulty AI humiliated Zhong Yi, Zhou Yue, and players across the cultivation world, while Immortal-Demon Supremacy rapidly grew into a nationwide phenomenon. With its player count climbing and his spirit-stone reserves depleted, Lu Ze decided to release six-yuan skins to recoup his costs.

• Immortal-Demon Supremacy attracted five hundred thousand concurrent players within a week, driven mainly by rogue cultivators.
• Lu Ze reviewed the player count, considered recovering his expenses, and decided to roll out six-yuan skins.

Zhong Yi explained attack-moving while Li Moran displayed smooth controls and Mu Yawen dominated the top lane. After losing a mid-lane duel to Zhou Yue, Zhong Yi topped up for a Heroic Soul, then bought Nightbringer Yasuo and was tempted by another premium skin.

• Zhong Yi tried and bought the Nightbringer Yasuo skin, then vowed not to buy another skin or he would play support for Zhou Yue for a month.

Zhong Yi kept spending Spirit Stones on Skins to climb Membership levels, while Lu Ze’s game drew in more players and helped him reach late-stage Golden Core. A system mission then sent Lu Ze toward a conflict in another plane, where he had to aid Demon Cultivators against invading Righteous cultivators.

• Zhong Yi bought seven 6-Spirit-Stone Skins, then used a discount card to buy Zhao Yun Zilong and reached Level 4 Membership, earning five Treasure Hunt Tickets.

• The system announced that Righteous cultivators were invading another plane and tasked Lu Ze with helping its Demon Cultivators slaughter 100,000 Righteous cultivators within a week.

Lu Ze planned a Doom Bots event to increase player deaths without altering hero balance, and recruited the Fragment of the Heavenly Dao to help. Zhong Yi welcomed the announced AI event and its free skin, eager to relax after a frustrating match against Shen Yan.

• Lu Ze rejected buffing Demon Cultivators and recalled the overpowered Doom Bots mode as a way to raise deaths without disrupting the player base.
• Lu Ze realized the Fragment of the Heavenly Dao could control the unfairly powerful bots and offered it a role in the event.
• Zhong Yi played Nasus against Shen Yan, who repeatedly used Mordekaiser’s ultimate to pull him away from minions and ruin his stacking.
• Zhong Yi read the announcement that AI income would no longer be fixed and that event victories would earn skins and titles.
• Zhong Yi decided that playing AI mode for the free Great Devil Teemo skin sounded like easy stress relief.

• Zhong Yi gathered Zhou Yue, Zhou Qiaoling, Li Moran, and Mu Yawen for an AI match, and a Demon Sovereign invasion warning appeared when the game began.
• Zhong Yi led Mu Yawen into the enemy jungle, where they discovered the AI had enormous health and attacks that could spread, turn, and hit from unexpected angles.
• The AI overwhelmed the team across the map, and even Li Moran lost her mid-lane fight against Annie.
• After the score reached 1–20, the five AI opponents summoned a gigantic Great Devil Teemo, who began another round of hunting.

Lu Ze combined powerful Doom Bots with kill-triggered Teemo appearances and raised the event rewards to draw more cultivators into Demonic AI. After securing the mission's required kills, he learned the Fragment of the Heavenly Dao had left something behind in the Illusion Realm for players who could comprehend it.

• Lu Ze launched Demonic AI with original-version Doom Bot skills, tower pushing, and a Teemo the Great Devil Summon after twenty kills.
• Cultivators complained on the Forum about the brutal bots, while Lu Ze announced a limited title and a monument for the first team to win.
• The new rewards drew cultivators from the Five Great Sects and Rogue Cultivators into long queues for Demonic AI.
• Lu Ze visited the Fragment of the Heavenly Dao, which had taken Teemo's form and gleefully recalled killing players.
• Lu Ze said players were close to winning and noted that he had already completed the mission by harvesting one hundred thousand kills.
• The Fragment of the Heavenly Dao said it had left things in the Illusion Realm for those destined to comprehend them as a reward for entertaining it.

Zhong Yi devised a strategy to beat the Demonic AI by using Teemo to lure its team away while defending and split-pushing. The group put the plan into action, but the AI summoned its unusually powerful small Teemo again as Zhong Yi and Zhou Yue began their push.

• Zhong Yi explained how Teemo could distract the Demonic AI while Zilean sped him up, Anivia defended the base, and Master Yi and Tryndamere backdoored towers.
• Zhong Yi assigned Zhou Qiaoling to play Teemo, Mu Yawen to play Zilean, and Zhou Yue to play Tryndamere because he would die more slowly.
• The five entered another AI match and endured the early game while waiting for their champions to gain levels and equipment.
• At the twentieth kill, the Demonic AI summoned Teemo the Great Devil as Li Moran's Anivia prepared to defend the high ground.
• Zhong Yi and Zhou Yue charged toward the enemy high ground with their minions, and Zhong Yi recognized that the summoned Teemo was the overpowered small form.

Zhong Yi’s team defeated the Demonic AI by keeping Teemo the Great Devil occupied while Zhong Yi pushed towers. During the battle, Zhou Yue comprehended Heavenly Prison and broke through to the middle stage of Spirit Transformation.

• Zhou Yue was repeatedly teleported or dragged into the jungle, where Teemo the Great Devil killed him while Zhong Yi kept the enemy occupied and pushed top lane.

• Zhong Yi was assigned ADC, but he used his Demon Quelling Defender Title to persuade the other players to give him mid.
• After Yasuo was banned, Zhong Yi picked Master Yi and announced that he would use a magic build.

Zhong Yi popularized a magic-build Sword Saint strategy that dominated the early Canyon, while players adapted and Lu Ze added more game modes. Lu Ze realized that Immortal-Demon Supremacy needed esports, leaving him considering how to create a competitive scene.

• Zhong Yi explained that the Sword Saint's first two skills scaled strongly with spiritual energy and demonstrated how a Doran's Ring build could heal and dominate lane.

• Lu Ze concluded that the game needed an esports scene.

Hoping to win the championship reward without playing much, Lu Ze asked to join the Spirit Cloud Sect team as a substitute, but the team initially rejected him.

• Lu Ze proposed a continent-wide competition, and the Fragment of the Heavenly Dao offered an incomplete Spell as a prize before the system assigned Lu Ze a mission to seize the Elder Secret Treasure.

• Lu Ze revealed he wanted to coast to the championship reward as a substitute and threatened to form a team against the Spirit Cloud Sect if they refused him.
• After Li Moran asked what else Lu Ze had said, Zhou Yue discovered that Lu Ze had offered to play practice matches with the team.

• The Spirit Cloud Sect team went undefeated in the group stage and beat the Limitless Sword Sect 3–1 in the quarterfinals, with Li Moran and Zhong Yi gaining renown.
• Zhong Yi assured the team that his new strategy could help them defeat Slay Immortals and Attain the Dao, while White Curtain remained unwilling to compete.

• Guo Tianyin stood before an evil soul formation holding dozens of bound Rogue Cultivators.

The Spirit Cloud Sect team entered the semifinals confident that its preparation and tactics would secure victory, but the Slay Immortals and Attain the Dao team banned their planned long-range composition and crushed them in the opening game. After the loss, Zhou Yue began to suspect that Liu Mo’s poor performance and the enemy’s precise tracking might not be coincidence.
