• [Heart Demon] brought out Illusion Tower 749 and ordered the elders to activate the Heaven-and-Earth Four Symbols Formation again to investigate Lu Ze’s illusions.

Lu Ze worried that the Illusion Alliance would take advantage of him while he refined the Void Soul Crystal, so he planned a new illusion realm to keep players engaged.

• Lu Ze chose to develop Golden Shovel Battle with S4 units and traits alongside Hextech augments, and he considered bringing Hextech Mayhem to the game library.

Lu Ze released two new game modes before entering seclusion to refine a Void Soul Crystal and break through to the Transformation God Realm. A month later, the Beast Taming Sect's Sect Master sought Lu Ze's help with a crisis, while [Heart Demon]'s attempt to unravel the Illusion Tower's mysteries ended in a terrifying trap.

• Lu Ze completed and released Rune Brawl and Golden Shovel Battle, then entered three months of seclusion to refine a Void Soul Crystal and advance toward the Transformation God Realm.
• The new games drew players and reversed cultivators' reactions to Lu Ze's seclusion, with Golden Shovel Battle topping the Forum and Hextech Mayhem reviving Immortal-Demon Supremacy.

• At the Binding Spirit Mountains, [Heart Demon] and the four Illusion Alliance Elders used the Heaven-and-Earth Four Symbols Formation to unseal the Heavenly Spirit Body and absorb the mysteries within the Illusion Tower.
• [Heart Demon] refined the resulting orb, but countless golden Heavenly Dao orbs appeared in his mind and burned incense until they overwhelmed his consciousness.

After three months in seclusion, Lu Ze emerged at the early Transformation God Realm with his Spiritual Sense greatly strengthened, then learned the Beast Taming Sect had offered a Void Soul Crystal in exchange for his help. Nangong Yuan told him Sect Master He had already returned home after receiving a secret letter.

• Lu Ze completed his breakthrough and refined the Void Soul Crystal, which strengthened only about a third of his sea of consciousness, and he planned to seek more from the Illusion Alliance.
• Lu Ze slipped through Chao Wendao and Nangong Yuan’s Barrier and appeared in the Artifact Forging Hall, where he found his acquaintances gaming.

• Nangong Yuan told Lu Ze that Sect Master He of the Beast Taming Sect had offered a Void Soul Crystal for help with the sect’s calamity.
• Lu Ze eagerly offered to help, but Nangong Yuan said Sect Master He had returned a month earlier after receiving a troubling secret letter.

Lu Ze learned that the Beast Taming Sect needed an illusion realm capable of creating a genuinely new world and new spirit beasts, not merely inventing strange-looking creatures. He arrived with Nangong Yuan just as White Crane challenged the sect, and White Crane insisted Lu Ze could not meet the commission before its deadline.

• Lu Ze learned from Nangong Yuan and Zhong Yi that the Beast Taming Sect had posted a commission offering a Void Soul Crystal for an illusion realm, then decided to visit the sect.
• Nangong Yuan explained that the Beast Taming Sect was declining because spirit beasts were disappearing, a problem Lu Ze doubted an illusion realm could solve.
• At the Beast Taming Sect, White Crane accused Sect Master He Muye of rejecting his King of Ten Thousand Beasts illusion realm despite its strange, supposedly new creatures.
• He Muye explained that the creatures lacked spirit-beast souls and that the sect needed an illusion realm that created a new world.
• White Crane mocked He Muye for expecting Lu Ze to fulfill the commission, but Lu Ze arrived and greeted him, leaving White Crane stunned.
• White Crane left after warning that less than a month remained and challenging Lu Ze to meet the Beast Taming Sect's requirements.

Lu Ze learned that the Beast Taming Sect’s Void Dream Chi was nearing death because a resentful beast soul had been implanted in it, and agreed to build an illusion realm to contain the soul. He expected to finish within half a month and learned that helping the Void Dream Chi reincarnate would earn him a Void Soul Crystal, just as the system warned of impending turmoil among spirit beasts.

• He Muye showed Lu Ze and Nangong Yuan the shrinking Void Dream Chi and explained how demon cultivators had implanted a resentful beast soul inside it.
• He Muye asked Lu Ze to create a spirit-beast-focused illusion realm on a world distinct from the Tianxuan Continent so the evil soul’s curse could be transferred into it.
• Lu Ze agreed to make the illusion realm and said he expected to finish in less than half a month.

• Lu Ze awkwardly denied suggesting that the Void Dream Chi might die in infancy, then promised to handle the illusion realm.
• The system warned Lu Ze that the Beast Taming Sect’s divine beast was near death and the world’s spirit beasts were about to be plunged into turmoil.

Lu Ze built a vast Palworld illusion realm for the Beast Taming Sect’s mission and brought the unsealed Evil Soul Dream Chi inside. By having the Fragment of the Heavenly Dao repeatedly kill it, he recovered spirit beasts’ cybersouls and prepared to give the Pals complete souls.

• Lu Ze accepted He Muye’s offer to stay at the Beast Taming Sect and create an illusion realm to divert the Evil Soul’s resentment from real spirit beasts.
• Lu Ze spent nearly a week building Palpagos Island and designing the habits and traits of tens of thousands of Pals, then realized he needed cybersouls to make them convincing.
• Lu Ze asked the Fragment of the Heavenly Dao to help, then persuaded He Muye to let the unsealed Evil Soul enter the illusion realm.
• The Evil Soul Dream Chi appeared in Palworld and tried to attack the Pals, but Lu Ze captured it and had the Fragment of the Heavenly Dao kill it repeatedly.
• Lu Ze used the cybersouls released from the Dream Chi to complete the Pals’ souls, then purged their negative consciousness with the Cyber Myriad Souls Banner.

Lu Ze opened Palworld as a new Illusion Realm and drew in cultivators eager to explore its world and catch Pals. Zhong Yi and his companions entered the realm, where Mu Yawen accidentally killed a Tombat while trying to capture it.

• Lu Ze declined to ask the Fragment of the Heavenly Dao to purify the Evil Soul and told He Muye that Palworld could still help the Beast Taming Sect.
• Lu Ze announced that Palworld would open the next day and prepared to attract more players.
• Zhong Yi, Zhou Qiaoling, Mu Yawen, and Zhou Yue entered Palworld together and adjusted their world settings to make the realm more difficult.
• Zhong Yi explored castle ruins, found a Rune Stone and treasure, and then headed toward the Giant Vulture Statue.
• Mu Yawen struck a Tombat too hard while trying to subdue it, killing it and leaving her distraught.

• Zhou Yue, Zhou Qiaoling, and Mu Yawen tried several ways to tame a weakened Peckipeck, but none worked.

• Zhong Yi unlocked the Giant Vulture Statue, reached level 2, and discovered Technology Points and recipes for crafting tools and Pal Spheres.
• Zhou Qiaoling ordered her Peckipeck to steal an islander’s rifle, prompting the islander to fire at all four cultivators.

Zhong Yi, Zhou Yue, Zhou Qiaoling, and Mu followed Palworld’s early quests, crafting tools and Pal Spheres before taking in the vast scenery of Palpagos Island. They began catching Pals, where Zhou Yue’s low-level character was taunted by a mischievous Tombat.

• Zhou Qiaoling mourned her defeated Peckipeck, and Zhong Yi explained that a level-two Palbox could restore Pals’ health.
• The four followed the guided quests, gathered resources, crafted tools, leveled up, and made twenty-four Pal Spheres.
• Zhong Yi handed out the Pal Spheres, and Zhou Yue rejected his suggestion that Zhou Qiaoling catch Pals for him because of his bad luck.
• The four surveyed Palpagos Island from the Giant Vulture Statue, seeing its plains, World Tree, volcano, and snowfields.
• Zhou Yue leaped off the cliff, discovered that falling caused damage, and warned the others to descend carefully.
• A level-four Tombat repeatedly taunted level-three Zhou Yue with faces and spit.

Zhou Yue caught a mischievous Tombat whose special traits made it endlessly hungry and lazy, while the group prepared to establish a base. Zhong Yi drew the short straw and stayed behind to craft Pal Spheres, but his Tombat unexpectedly helped him at the Crafting Table.

• Zhou Yue chased down and caught a Tombat, then discovered it kept demanding wild berries instead of fighting.
• Zhou Yue inspected the Tombat's traits and found Coward, Glutton, Bottomless Stomach, and Slacker, prompting him to compare it to Zhou Qiaoling.
• Zhong Yi explained that they needed someone to stay behind and gather resources and build the base, so the group drew lots.
• Zhong Yi lost the draw and stayed at the Crafting Table while the others headed out to explore and catch creatures.
• Zhong Yi's Tombat unexpectedly stood beside him and began helping craft Pal Spheres.

Zhong Yi discovered that Palworld creatures could perform base work according to their Work Suitability, then expanded the base with help from his companions. As they prepared to explore for more creatures, Zhou Yue revealed that Lu Ze had placed a level-thirty-eight Great Demon nearby.

• Zhong Yi found that Tombat and Lamball could craft Pal Spheres because they had the handiwork ability, while Peckipeck could not.
• Zhong Yi built a Livestock Ranch and saw Peckipeck produce an egg, then learned that the Palbox could be upgraded to house more creatures.
• Zhou Yue, Zhou Qiaoling, and Mu Yawen returned with new Palworld creatures and saw Zhong Yi's expanded base and working Pals.
• Mu Yawen showed Zhong Yi Teafant, Lifmunk, and Tombat, and Zhong Yi assigned Tombat to help with base work.
• Zhong Yi proposed that they go catch more creatures, but Zhou Yue warned that Lu Ze had put a level-thirty-eight Great Demon outside their home.

Zhong Yi and the others explored Palpagos Island, avoiding a powerful Forest Mammoth while catching Pals through the night. At dawn, they planned to return to their base, and Zhong Yi wondered whether the distant High Tower was the key to the Illusion Realm.

• Zhong Yi sent his Tombat to scout a safe route around the level 38 Forest Mammoth, then led the group past it to unlock another Giant Vulture Statue.
• Night fell, wild Pals went to sleep, and Zhou Yue gave everyone torches so they could keep exploring.
• Zhong Yi, Zhou Qiaoling, Zhou Yue, and Mu Yawen caught many different Pals and studied their habits as they traveled.
• At dawn, Zhou Yue suggested they return to their base to replenish Pal Spheres and change their teams, and Zhong Yi agreed because they could also upgrade the base.
• From a hilltop, Zhong Yi spotted a High Tower beyond a distant Giant Vulture Statue and wondered whether it was the key to the Illusion Realm.
