What the Fragment of the Heavenly Dao needed and what Lu Ze needed were the same thing—
Players had to keep dying, and quickly.
The Fragment of the Heavenly Dao did not believe Lu Ze could pull it off.
It had already seen through every Illusion Realm Lu Ze had made.
Demonic Path Escape and "Plants vs. Zombies," his earliest creations?
Even now, disciples still played them tirelessly.
But as everyone grew more skilled, the time it took for a single death became...
Too long!
If You're a Cultivator, Descend a Hundred Levels, Four Together, and Getting Over It?
Those three torment-filled Illusion Realms had players dying like mad when they first started. Once they cleared them or quit, they rarely touched them again.
Not sustained!
Immortal Realm Supremacy did have staying power.
But a match took nearly half an hour, and only one person died each time...
Too slow!
The Fragment of the Heavenly Dao reached a conclusion:
As cultivators kept dying in an Illusion Realm, either the fun was beaten out of them and they no longer wanted to continue,
Or practice sharpened their skills, and their rate of death slowed drastically.
No matter how it looked at it, there could be no Illusion Realm where cultivators died endlessly and kept enjoying themselves.
That was why the Fragment of the Heavenly Dao had always doubted Lu Ze.
Lu Ze had long since settled on a way to deal with the problem—
Competitive online games!
What? They died too slowly?
One round on the Transport Ship could rack up two hundred kills in ten minutes.
They got bored after one clear?
Every match was different.
They got too strong to die?
There was always a stronger player.
And that was without ELO and wretched tricks like Chicken Claw
