178: Eternal World? A game? The Heavenly Dao's Strategy

After returning to Kunlun Academy, Lu Chen arranged for the young women to begin their Cultivation.

Having obtained such excellent treasures this time, they naturally needed to spend time Cultivating properly.

After comforting each of the young women, he sent them all to the peak of Kunlun to Cultivate.

Next, Lu Chen sought out the Grand Elder and the Old Dean to inquire about the situation around the world.

Many Secret Realms were still opening.

While this was beneficial for Cultivation, more Puppets were descending everywhere.

At such times, the Cultivators of various countries were still relatively united, and they would immediately take action to stop them.

It could be considered a unified effort, though only to a certain extent; behind the scenes, there was still strife and contention.

Lu Chen understood this human behavior but was left speechless.

Fortunately, Huaxia was now the dominant power, which served to deter the petty villains.

This played a key, central role.

The Old Dean mentioned something.

"Lu Chen, there's a very strange online game that has appeared recently..."

"You old man play games? That's quite trendy."

"No, no, it's an online game with a Western fantasy background. It seems to have no server and originates directly from a Secret Realm descended by the Heavenly Dao."

"What do you mean?"

The Grand Elder walked over and handed the document in his hand to Lu Chen, saying, "Take a look. It's called the Eternal World. Once you go in, you can't come out."

"Let me see."

...

He stood up, rubbing his bewildered head.

Lu Chen glanced at the streets of Constantinople and was a bit confused.

He had left Kunlun Academy the day before yesterday, intending to head to the Italian Peninsula to see the new Secret Realm that had descended.

Who would have thought that as soon as he touched its massive server, he would be brought here.

"Is this that game?"

The Eternal World, a "game" personally named by the Heavenly Dao.

To call it a Secret Realm would be less accurate than calling it a global descent.

"If I die here, do I really die?"

Lu Chen checked his body and, sure enough, could not feel his Power of the Undead.

However, the coordinate teleportation array he had left in the outside world still existed.

So, there was no need to rush.

He would take a look around and see what this "world" was like.

"Lu Chen?"

Hearing the voice, Lu Chen turned around.

He saw a man in a suit with no face on the bustling street, staring at him.

"A Puppet of the Heavenly Dao?"

Lu Chen asked with a contemptuous smile.

"Yes, but I am a Dream Architect. The Heavenly Dao also needs to use dreams to create a perfect world. Don't you think this is it? The ultimate fantasy of humanity, and you can even leave at any time."

"And the price?"

Lu Chen looked at him. "The price is that human civilization in the real world is decaying more and more, and everyone is increasingly forgetting that it is the real world. I can imagine your thoughts. Our 'Heaven' is truly interesting, trying every possible way to destroy all civilization."

"You are truly clever. Then, how far can you go in this world, in this game? Right now, many people are living different lives in their own servers... Isn't this the dream of humanity?"

"My dream is to destroy Puppets like you, as well as your dog master, that thieving Heavenly Dao. Understand?"

"Interesting."

After saying this, the faceless man tossed over something like an information card and said, "For someone like you, my abilities cannot keep you. You can leave if you want, but I still suggest you play. Also, I am not your enemy. Although I am a Puppet of the Heavenly Dao, I am quite different. Farewell."

With that, the faceless man disappeared.

Lu Chen took the information and looked at it, unable to help but smile. This information card was just like a role-playing profile, containing information about himself.

He was a noble in the imperial capital of Constantinople, and his profession was a local history teacher.

Due to his ancestors accumulating virtue, he belonged to the type who thought, 'My grandfather suffered for me, so why should I suffer?'

He was a bona fide rich second generation.

However, this game clearly had no players; there were no respawn points here.

A world? Perhaps.

After all, for the Laws of the Heavenly Dao, this was easy.

Just like its destruction of the world, it had to follow the Laws.

It could never act personally.

The rules applied to it as well.

The information above also indicated that this was a poor fellow who had been driven mad by vampires.

Interesting.

Then, Lu Chen also saw that a plot reminder appeared on this card.

That faceless man had done quite well.

As for what he had said, Lu Chen did not take it to heart because, in this world, he was equally invincible.

According to the plot, if Lu Chen had not misread the hall, his neighbors seemed to have already been harmed.

The bodies of the neighbor's Family of three should have already arrived at the nearby cemetery.

That was a graveyard, and they needed to be buried at night.

As for the fact that a vampire would crawl out from there, this world was also quite interesting; it had all the technology that should exist, and the backward places were just as backward.

It was no different from the real world he came from.

The faceless man probably used the objective world as a reference.

But was such a world really created by the faceless man?

Lu Chen absolutely did not think so. It looked more like it was created by the Heavenly Dao itself—its so-called perfect world.

Perfection meant eternity, and this was also an Eternal World.

What existed here was also magic and technology, hot weapons and cold weapons.

It was truly incomparably familiar.

Lu Chen arrived at the location.

This was a high school, and he, an Undead Monarch, could actually be a teacher here.

Lu Chen walked to the podium and began to get into character.

But he didn't say anything; he just went through the motions.

Then he let everyone study on their own and asked them to collect materials to write something like an assigned essay.

Afterward, he went to the principal's office.

He was straightforward: "I resign, Mr. Principal."

The principal looked up, somewhat puzzled, but after just one glance, he nodded and said, "That's fine, but you will have to wait until next week to leave because the school needs time to hire a new teacher; otherwise, it will be very troublesome."

"That's not necessary. I have already assigned the students a week's worth of tasks, and they are all self-study essays, so you can rest assured."

The principal was stunned!

"It seems you must leave? Do you have Family business that needs to be reorganized?"

Lu Chen couldn't tell him, "I came to this world to find answers," could he?

So he just smiled and said, "No, I am here to do some things I want to do. I am preparing to go on an adventure."

As soon as these words were spoken, the principal was momentarily puzzled.

But thinking that this guy was a rich man, albeit a bit crazy, he asked, "Then what about your Family business?"

"Sell it all."

"Sell it to whom?"

"The Church!"

Lu Chen would not forget the reminder on the information card.

That card contained all the information he wanted to know. Whenever he thought about it, it would appear.
