To ascend, I had no choice but to create games

In order to give players the feeling of being an Immortal, the prerequisite is to grant them the power of an Immortal.

However, it’s feasible to elevate Cultivators to the status of Immortals since they have their own Cultivation Techniques; I just need to provide them with mana, allowing their strength to constantly increase, and ultimately they can directly reach the realm of Immortals.

But mortals don’t have Cultivation Techniques, and giving them the bodies of Immortals directly poses operational difficulties, after all, Immortals aren’t cabbages; creating a few thousand in an instant might be manageable, but creating hundreds of thousands instantly is an impossible task.

Therefore, a different method must be found.

There are only so many ways to become an Immortal: either engage in arduous cultivation, condensing mana, and finally, when the mana reaches the profound, transcend the Heavenly Tribulation to become an Immortal.

Alternatively, rely on brute strength, following the path of physical cultivation, tempering the body until it’s exceptionally resilient, and directly shattering the Heavenly Tribulation.

But these two methods are unrealistic for players, the best way is still to follow the path of cultivating virtue and kindness to become an Immortal.

After all, virtue is a very gentle thing; even mortals can instantly become Immortals after obtaining a great amount of virtue, making it a very useful resource.

The most direct way to obtain virtue is by saving people.

Save during the day, save at night, save on workdays, and save on days off too.

Once the people nearby are saved, save those in the neighboring county, and once they’re saved, save those in the neighboring country, and so on, until there’s no one left to save and everyone is part of a happy family.

However, this method also has a problem, which is that there’s only so much virtue to be earned from saving people, and in the end, it can only lead to competition over whom to save.

Those who miss out may inevitably harbor resentment, and everyone has to fight it out before allocating the quota for saving people, which is very disheartening.

Another method is to enlighten sentient beings, enlightening the ignorant creatures with wisdom and allowing them to slowly acquire their own wisdom and mature.

But this method faces the same issue as saving people, which is the inadequacy of targets, leaving everyone without anyone to enlighten.

However, this problem is no problem here.

Arriving at the grid world of the Immortal Assembly, Fang Cheng’s consciousness passed over the amusement park here, then cast his consciousness into the place previously occupied by monsters like the rabbit butler.

The souls of sentient beings were trapped in this place; the spells from consciousness beings struck this place in all directions, directly destroying its defenses and killing all the creatures saved by the Immortal Assembly.

As a large conglomerate of consciousness, the consciousness beings were very adept at exploiting the souls of living beings, with a mechanism similar to reincarnation constantly depleting the internal souls’ strength, reducing them to creatures that could only exist on instinct like wild beasts.

Afterwards, the spells here would inject these souls into the bodies of monsters, and these monsters would become tools of the consciousness beings and be used to invade other areas.

Directly shattering the physical bodies of all the monsters here, Fang Cheng saw soul after soul liberated, gazing blankly at Fang Cheng in the sky.

Their emotions had been ground away by the cycle of reincarnation, and their souls had become so insipid they were like plain water, showing no reaction even when looking at Fang Cheng.

They once possessed their own wisdom, but now they have become dull souls.

In their current state, they couldn’t even escape into reincarnation, because they had become nearly formless.

To enable these beings to return to the cycle of reincarnation, they need to be enlightened continuously, imbued with knowledge, to understand basic ethics and morals.

Through ongoing education and collective behavior, they are imbued with the most basic concepts of being human, and only then can they reenter the cycle of reincarnation to be reborn.

Fang Cheng also had his own ulterior motives for these people.

The clues to the other Immortals had been lost, but the mechanism of rebirth had not been severed, and this place still fell within the range of possible rebirth.

So, as long as Fang Cheng marked each individual who could be reborn and tracked their place of rebirth, he could definitely find a suitable place to live and thereby locate other Heavenly Lords.

A single game could accomplish so much, Fang Cheng felt that the game was quite worthwhile.

With the basic logic sorted out, what followed was the specific form.

These souls are so ignorant that players need to take care of their food, clothing, and housing, stimulating them by restoring their prior environments to recall past events.

Then they must enlighten them so they understand how the world operates and thus have a basic worldview.

Considering the length of this process, it could be simplified for the players; it just needs to be fundamentally in place.

Moreover, to enable these souls to gradually recall past knowledge, a progressive technological tree must be arranged, slowly restoring the technology here, allowing the souls to gradually recall past events.

The cultural aspect also needs to be enhanced; he needs to restore the unique cultural background of this place, and then allow players to help reconstruct it.

Resources could refer to those in reality, but this place also has various unique resources that could be incorporated.

Geographically, there’s a need to restore the topography of this place, but this is not essential, so it’s not mandatory.

War is an indispensable part of the game, so it must be included. Moreover, here, it doesn’t matter if the souls of soldiers die in battle; on the contrary, the intense stimulation might even cause them to remember some past events and further solidify their own souls.
