Am I the only one who didn't ascend?

Chapter 566 Stupid Method

Wang Luo certainly had no interest in enforcing the law, but he did have the authority to do so. Although as the owner of Lingshan Mountain, he had gradually retreated behind the scenes in Xinheng, and the relevant docking work was also handed over to Han Guming. However, both the national teacher Zhang Jincheng and the emperor Gan Fengxian were obviously politically sensitive enough and still reserved many privileges for Wang Luo.

One of them is to have almost absolute control over the Taixu Illusion Realm in Xinheng.

Therefore, if Wang Luo wanted to see any scene in the Legend of Demon Slayer, he could go to the local workshop in the name of Xinheng Taixu Division to ask for permission and directly descend into the scroll... In fact, after Taichu Tianzun eroded the Legend of Demon Slayer, the Taixu Mansion of the Immortal Alliance sent a considerable number of elite generals to Xinheng and conducted a very detailed investigation of the Legend of Demon Slayer, but the result was not surprising, nothing was found.

Taichu Tianzun left almost no traces in the Legend of Demon Slaying. If the confessions of those students had not been repeatedly verified to be true, if someone in Lingkong Pavilion had not died tragically on the spot that day, and if the regional map that was supposed to refresh the Lord of the Three Realms could not be rebuilt no matter what... then the arrival of Tianzun would have been like a dream that never actually happened.

Up to now, Taixu Mansion and even the Taixu Departments of various countries have not come up with a sufficiently strong conclusion, and there are countless seemingly strong hypotheses, which are dazzling. However, in essence, they are just the struggles of a group of professionals who are unwilling to fail, and have no practical reference value.

Taichu Tianzun is still a difficult puzzle for the Immortal Alliance. Just observing it requires the willingness to sacrifice one's life. Now there is not much time to slowly solve the puzzle, so Wang Luo plans to try some stupid methods during the holiday.

"If that doesn't work, I can go find another floating boat."

Before Wang Luo finished his words, the woman on the boat's expression immediately changed, and a submissive and flattering smile seemed to overflow from her face.

"I was just joking, my lord, please don't take it seriously... The Demon Slayer has always taken serving customers as its highest purpose. Although [Ruins of the Three Realms] is a later part of the scroll, if you really need it, we can also make it convenient for you..."

Wang Luo shook his head and declined: "Don't open any convenient doors, just treat me as a normal traveler. If a normal person enters this demon-slaying scroll, how can he travel to the ruins of the three realms as quickly as possible?"

The woman was startled when she heard the words, and doubts arose in her heart, but she answered very readily.

"Okay, then please follow me and I will tailor a strategy for you. I will ensure that you can reach the ruins as quickly as possible without violating any rules!"

After she finished speaking, the woman took two steps back to make room on the boat. After Wang Luo had stabilized his feet, the boat suddenly accelerated and sped away, making the lights on the water on both sides look like thin golden lines... In a blink of an eye, the boat seemed to have knocked open a foggy door, making the scenery in front of him suddenly clear.

"Sir, we are now officially entering the world of the Legend of Demon Slayer. Let me introduce myself again. I am Xiaoya, your exclusive assistant in the scroll. I will answer all your questions during the journey as soon as possible, such as about the Three Realms Ruins... Hey, have you read the relevant guide before? That's right, the direction you are looking at now is where the ruins are. But now we can't go to such a late map, so you need to follow the guide and complete several tests..."

Wang Luo did not listen carefully to Xiaoya's subsequent words, and even felt they were a little annoying.

Of course he had read the relevant guides. This time he came to the Demon Slayer to look for clues about the Heavenly Venerable, not on a whim. Moreover, even if he did it on a whim, he would always do enough guides before going to the scene. Before arriving at the Xinheng waters along the Taiyin River, Wang Luo even carefully read the interviews with those students and checked all the information about them, and almost completely imprinted the process of their first kill in the whole territory in his mind. To some extent, he didn't need any assistants at all.

Unfortunately, the overall environment of "The Legend of Demon Slayer" is quite different from what it was before... Ever since the arrival of the Heavenly Lord and the resulting injuries to students, no matter how the workshop tried to retain them, the popularity of the scroll was still far less than before. The workshop had no choice but to change its thinking, actively harvesting the existing stock, and launching a large number of paid gift packages. The clearance path that those students had painstakingly planned out in the beginning can now be easily opened by paying some spirit leaves for the remaining travelers.

In other words, for those who remain, if they want to experience the content of the scroll normally, they have to pay. Therefore, spending a million at the beginning and having a professional assistant by your side is the correct strategy for playing the Demon Slayer Legend. Wang Luo is also adapting to the local customs.

With the millions of paid contributions, his strategy progress was indeed amazingly fast. With the magic weapons, fairy servants and spirit beasts included in the paid gift package, as well as the strategy development method personally made by the operation workshop provided by Xiaoya, he cleared the novice village overlord that had tortured countless newcomers for a week in just one morning. After that, he continued to advance along the normal map without stopping, without even sleeping...

About three days later, Wang Luo successfully arrived at the Three Realms Ruins, which had taken a group of students more than a month to enter.

As he looked around, Wang Luo felt that the name of the ruins was indeed true. The magnificent courtyard that once enshrined the Lord of the Three Realms carried all the imaginations of the operation workshop about the heavenly palace. However, it was now covered with a thick layer of dust. Although the exquisite fairy pavilions and the splendid flowers and trees maintained their original outlines, they were all in a state of decay under the washing of the dust. Although it was a ruin, it still inherited the magnificent scene of the past.

Then, in the distance, in the center of the magnificent courtyard, there was a dark hole, which tore the nearly perfect composition like an ink stain on a canvas... However, the hole itself was completely empty, without any impurities. In comparison, the magnificent courtyard itself looked more like impurities.

Wang Luo was silent for a moment, while his assistant Xiaoya was trying to cheer herself up - after following Wang Luo in high-intensity land reclamation for several days and nights, she felt that she would die from overwork at any time, but considering the high commission, she still kept a strong smile on her face.

"Sir, the Three Realms Ruins are ahead. You may have learned a lot about the situation here. Since that incident, this area has become an area that cannot be processed."

Wang Luo raised his eyebrows slightly, indicating that he was interested in this topic.

Xiaoya was immediately refreshed. "Please keep the following contents confidential. They are all top secrets within the workshop. I will tell you everything I know because you are interested... In short, the Three Realms Ruins have gone out of control. After the accidental death of those students, the workshop initially planned to restore everything here and try to calm the situation. But we soon discovered a serious problem. The characters that died in that incident cannot be regenerated at all. In other words, not only can we not recover the accounts of those students, but we can't even refresh the Lord of the Three Realms."

Wang Luo nodded, indicating that he was listening.

Xiaoya added: "This situation is very strange, because... you know, the characters in the scroll are essentially like illustrations in a picture book. Even if we can't restore the original, the workshop can draw a new one based on the original template. However, no matter how hard we try, the Lord of the Three Realms cannot be reproduced. Even if the character has been perfectly restored within the design framework, as soon as he is thrown into the scroll, he will melt on the spot!"

Having said this, Xiaoya tried her best to make her expression look serious and horrified, but Wang Luo still just nodded slightly after hearing it.

Because of course he also knew these things... Since the incident of the Demon-Slaying Legend, the workshop's operating log has been synchronized to the Xinheng Taixu Division every day, and the Taixu Division will immediately synchronize to the Taixu Mansion of the Immortal Alliance. So Wang Luo has more than one channel to check these facts at the first time, and his understanding of some details is even better than Xiaoya, the temporary assistant who heard from others.

However, there are indeed some things that the workshop staff will not write in the log, but will only communicate in private. "Some people say that this is a punishment from heaven."

Wang Luo immediately turned his gaze away: "Who is talking?"

Xiaoya suddenly felt her body go cold - even though the body in the scroll was an incarnation, she could clearly feel her own soul being enveloped in coldness.

Realizing that she had opened up an extremely dangerous and sensitive topic, Xiaoya couldn't help but regret it, but at this moment, she had no choice but to sell out her teammates without hesitation.

"Yes, it's my colleague, Xiaozhen from the customer service team, Rouzhenzhen. She is a local and is said to have always been a believer of Dasheng Temple and is particularly loyal to the Heavenly Court. Then one day she told me mysteriously that the accidents in the Legend of Demon Slayer were the immortals in the Heavenly Court punishing us and forcing us to submit to the Immortal Alliance. They also designed the Lord of the Three Realms in the scroll based on the Golden Immortal..."

Hearing this, Wang Luo realized that it was not that someone in the workshop had realized the truth about Taichu Tianzun, but that some old guard had not yet given up their desire to restore the throne and were using this as an excuse to spread rumors. He shook his head and interrupted, "That's enough."

"Yes, yes..." Xiaoya didn't dare to say more.

Wang Luo was still lost in thought, and at the same time he stepped forward and stepped onto the gray ruins courtyard. Xiaoya couldn't help but say, "It might be dangerous. This is an out-of-control area. Anything could happen."

Wang Luo smiled. If something could really happen, then the trip would be worthwhile.

Seeing that she couldn't persuade them to stay, Xiaoya became anxious, because she really didn't dare to set foot in the ruins in person - there was a rumor that some colleagues from the maintenance team had conducted an in-depth investigation into the ruins, but they never returned!
But as a personal assistant, she couldn't just ignore the important client. In a hurry, Xiaoya had a flash of inspiration and started telling a story.

"Oh, oh, sir, did you know that after the Three Realms Ruins, our workshop actually launched a series of more exciting maps and designed more powerful enemies?"

Wang Luo hummed and didn't take it seriously.

After experiencing a crisis, Demon Slayer adjusted its operating strategy and increased paid services to dramatically expand the values ​​in the scroll. The original system collapsed almost overnight. The so-called Lord of the Three Realms, who was said to have stumped all the heroes in the world, was no longer able to withstand a single blow in front of a group of high-end travelers who had added paid gift packages, so the workshop naturally had to launch more powerful enemies.

The Six Paths Demon Lord, the Nine Heavens Great Sage, the Beast that Destroys Realms, the Heaven-Swallowing Trickster... For a time, the number of enemies in the Demon Slayer Legend also increased with the promotion of the paid gift pack. The remaining travelers complained that they spent money purely on monsters, but they continued to spend money out of habit.

"Well, in fact, these subsequent maps and enemies are also carefully designed by the workshop. Originally, we planned to gradually release them after the scroll was put into operation for several years. But now we have to compress the progress, but it will definitely not affect the quality! If you are interested in the Legend of Demon Slayer, you should really learn about these new enemies!"

Wang Luo had no interest at first, but when he heard this, he thought of a question: "So, have these well-designed enemies caused any more accidents like the Lord of the Three Realms?"

Xiaoya quickly shook her head: "Of course not! If there is, it would be terrible!"

Wang Luo then asked: "Then why not?"

Xiaoya was stunned. Is this even a problem?
Wang Luo said, "If it was the design of the Lord of the Three Realms that angered the Heavenly Court, then wouldn't the Six Paths and Nine Heavens that came later be even more offensive? The Lord of the Three Realms only referred to the Golden Immortal Stone Su Ying that fell over Dongdu, but the Six Paths and Nine Heavens, especially the Heaven-Swallowing Guidao, actually referred to a lot of information from the Bai family... My senior sister has sold out a lot of family secrets over the years. But in short, when it comes to offense, these later enemies are obviously worse, why didn't the Heavenly Court punish them?"

Xiaoya could only shake her head helplessly, indicating that it was all Xiaozhen's nonsense and had nothing to do with her.

Wang Luo continued to reason, "Before coming here, I did read a lot of information and had many guesses. But after walking all the way here along the path of a normal traveler, I suddenly realized one thing: Maybe the key to the problem is not the scroll itself, because if it weren't for the paid gift package, I wouldn't have been able to walk this far."

Xiaoya's smile was a little stiff: Isn't this nonsense?! Isn't this the ease and pleasure that you pay for? But soon, her stiff smile completely froze.

As she recalled what she had seen and heard along the way, she suddenly realized that even without the paid gift package, the scroll painting skills of the wealthy young man next to her were actually incredibly high. Many maps that were designed according to the strategy and difficult to conquer in a short period of time even with payment were easily broken by the other party's amazing fighting skills.

This is actually a very powerful scroll walker, but the initial two million payment conceals this fact.

At the same time, Wang Luo said, "Let's go back to the beginning. How strong was the team that advanced all the way to the Glorious Courtyard and defeated the Lord of the Three Realms? Especially the student who was the think tank of the team. His strategy and judgment were quite good. I saw that many of the strategies he published afterwards were better than those done in your workshop... So, is there a possibility that that person did not come for the Demon Slayer, but for that team of students?"

After a pause, as Xiaoya's eyes gradually widened in surprise, Wang Luo gave his own conclusion.

"At least in the Legend of the Demon Slayer, a scroll walker with sufficient skills may bring disaster. And I probably just meet the standard of being 'sufficiently skilled'."

As he was speaking, a platinum-colored light suddenly swirled in the dark cave in the distance.
