In an era where everyone is cultivating immortality, the system wants me to become a demon?

Chapter 467 The Value of Speeding Up Demonic Cultivation! (3K)

"Hey, Senior Dragon Lord, please calm down!"

"The illusionary world cannot withstand a battle between two Nascent Soul stage experts. If they destroy the world before I gain access to it, we will all be doomed."

Seeing that the other party was about to get up and fight in the Netherworld of Reincarnation, Su Yuan quickly spoke up to appease him.

After much persuasion, the Purple-Gold Dragon Lord finally calmed down.

He snorted coldly and said:

"That useless Samsara was actually devoured by his own shadow so early."

"It's fortunate that he's no longer here. If his true form were still in front of me, I would definitely tell him to his face that I have no student like him!"

Su Yuan: "..."

Was the gentle elder he remembered actually such a hot-tempered person back in the ancient cultivation world before it fell?
No wonder the Heavenly Lord of Reincarnation was determined to embarrass the Purple-Gold Dragon Lord.

Anyone would do the same! After all, how could a dignified Celestial Lord of the Transformation Realm tolerate another old man's daily lecturing?

"You spent the past month with a hot-tempered, paternalistic old man like this?"

He couldn't help but turn his gaze to Chen Nuoyi, asking her with his eyes.

Chen Nuoyi returned an affirmative look.

Otherwise, why would she say that her dragon teacher was eccentric and hard to understand as soon as she saw Su Yuan?
The two were exchanging glances when they suddenly felt a stern gaze fall upon them:
"Since going directly to their door is not feasible, then you two need to come up with a way to get Samsara to listen to us?"

Su Yuan scratched his face and asked cautiously:
“Um, Senior Dragon Lord, I don’t think we necessarily need to bring Samsara Heavenly Lord into our camp.”

"Why not just bypass him and go find the authority of the Great Void World?"

Before this, Su Yuan thought that the Reincarnation Heavenly Lord might become an ally of his side out of their master-disciple relationship with the Purple Gold Dragon Lord.

But after witnessing the old-fashioned Purple-Gold Dragon Lord, Su Yuan felt that if the master and disciple didn't fight when they met, it would be considered that the Reincarnation Heavenly Lord had a good temper.

There's no need to strive for 100% completion when creating a dungeon; a smooth launch is already quite good.

But the Purple-Gold Dragon Lord shook his head:

"Although I don't know the details of the enemy who created the Taixu World, if we think about the worst-case scenario, if we don't bring the Samsara Heavenly Lord into our camp first, the Samsara Heavenly Lord may be bewitched by the enemy in the future and become our enemy."

Su Yuan thought about it and realized that it made sense.

Chu Lanxi can alter the rules of the Taixu World to some extent, and the residual will of the fake Chu Jiang may not be unable to do so either.

The betrayal of any one of the three Nascent Soul cultivators would be a major problem; it would be better to nip the crisis in the bud.

So the question is, how can we bring the Reincarnation Heavenly Lord into our camp without causing the two Nascent Soul cultivators to fight each other?
Su Yuan racked his brains for a long time, but still couldn't come up with a result.

This question is really beyond the scope of the curriculum.

However, at that moment, Su Yuan suddenly remembered a cheat he hadn't used in a long time.

The dazzling title is 'Speedy Demon Cultivation'.

The 'speedrun' effect of this title can help him come up with solutions to difficult problems.

With this in mind, Su Yuan immediately removed the title of 'Dragon Prince' and replaced it with the title of 'Speed-through Demon Cultivator'.

Speedrun effect activated!

The question is, how to recruit the Heavenly Lord of Reincarnation into our camp... No, no, since we've already speedrunned it, let's not ask such a phase-specific question. Let's just ask 'how to clear the Illusionary Realm' directly.

With the problem confirmed, after a few seconds of waiting, a few concise lines of text appeared in Su Yuan's mind.

A: Opening up the Illusory Realm involves two steps.

Step 1: Defeat the three Nascent Soul cultivators (world bosses) of the Taixu World.

Step 2: Collect the authority of the three world bosses.

Step 3: Eliminate the remaining will of Chu Jiang guarding the branch of the Primordial Dao.

Su Yuan: "..."

Thank you!
It's all thanks to Master Sutong Xiumo's explanation, otherwise I wouldn't have known that to open the Taixu Illusionary Realm, I had to kill the remnant will of the fake Chu Jiang... what a load of rubbish!

Listening to your words is like listening to a lecture!

How can I defeat the three Nascent Soul cultivators?

If I had that ability, would I need to play games with you? Wouldn't it be better to just push through the entire enemy lines?
Just as Su Yuan was so angry that he wanted to tear the title of "Speedy Demon Cultivator" to pieces, a bolt of lightning suddenly flashed through his mind.

Wait... wait ...

What if the speedrun results don't just offer empty advice, but rather provide genuine problem-solving strategies?
For example, the step of "collecting the authority of the three world bosses" doesn't sound like a trivial statement, but rather a necessary option.

Based on this, defeating or subduing the three world bosses is essential.

According to this understanding, only after completing the first two steps will I have a good chance of winning when facing the remaining will of the fake Chu Jiang.

However, it seems he will definitely get stuck on the first step, which is defeating the three Nascent Soul cultivators.

But is this really the case?
What is the definition of defeating the three Nascent Soul cultivators?
Does winning at rock-paper-scissors count? Does it count if the Nascent Soul cultivators personally admit defeat to you?

If it can be calculated, then one can naturally trigger another effect of 'speeding through demonic cultivation'.

[Speedrun Demon Cultivation Effect 2: Invincibility in New Game Plus (Passive)]

[After equipping this title, the dungeon bosses and dungeon mechanics you have cleared will no longer be able to harm you.]

After carefully reading through the description of "invincible in the second playthrough," Su Yuan suddenly understood. It turned out that in the dog system's definition, the Void World wasn't just a "new world," but also a large dungeon.

Since it's a dungeon, it naturally includes world bosses and dungeon mechanics.

The three Nascent Soul cultivators and the fake Chu Jiang are clearly the world bosses, and the Taixu World will be formatted within a year. Failing to clear it with great force is part of the dungeon mechanism.

What Su Yuan needs to do is to defeat the other world bosses one by one before challenging the final boss, so as to obtain the most damage reduction.

Having figured all this out, Su Yuan took a deep breath and looked solemnly at the Purple-Gold Dragon Lord.

"Senior Dragon Lord, I have found a way to get the Reincarnation Heavenly Lord to join us. But before that, please promise me one thing, something that could affect the whole situation."

The Purple-Gold Dragon Lord's gaze sharpened slightly: "Speak."

Chen Nuoyi also turned her curious gaze to Su Yuan. She had a vague guess in her heart that Su Yuan was going to do something unpredictable again.

However, after hearing what Su Yuan said next, the girl had to admit that she had underestimated Su Yuan's courage.

"Senior Dragon Lord, I need to verify something."

"Consider it an admission of defeat for the sake of the great cause of reviving humanity!"

As Su Yuan finished speaking, the cold and serious expression on the face of the Purple-Gold Dragon Lord suddenly became extremely interesting.

Chen Nuoyi's beautiful eyes widened in surprise.

Su Yuan! What are you talking about?!

Didn't you know that Harden, the Lakers' veteran, has a very fiery temper at this time of year?

If you provoke the other party like that, you'll probably get slapped to death!

As expected, the Purple-Gold Dragon Lord gave a cold snort, displeased:
"Su Yuan, you have quite the nerve to make such a request of me!"

Su Yuan, who had just said those words, couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat and couldn't help but miss the kind and amiable old man from earlier.

But since the person had already left, he could only lash out at the hot-tempered old man.

"Senior, it's complicated to explain in detail, but once I succeed, I'll be able to exploit a bug in the Void World and quickly pass through this illusionary world."

"Bage?"

As the Purple-Gold Dragon Lord who lived 100,000 years ago, he obviously couldn't understand the meaning of "bug," but he still shook his head:

"I have never been defeated in my life, and to admit defeat to a junior like you is truly..."

However, before he could finish speaking, Chen Nuoyi also spoke up.

The girl looked pleading and said in a soft, sweet voice:

“Master, please grant Su Yuan’s request. I am willing to vouch for Su Yuan and guarantee that neither he nor I will reveal anything you said today.”

The Purple-Gold Dragon Lord said coldly:

"You little brat, how could you side with outsiders? Pleading won't work on me!"

Chen Nuoyi didn't say anything, just stared at the other person expectantly.

After being stared at by his disciple for a while, the Purple-Gold Dragon Lord finally sighed and coughed lightly:
"My bottom line is to admit defeat in the game only."

"Thank you, Master!"

Chen Nuoyi immediately broke into a happy smile.

Regardless of Su Yuan's intentions, since he wants to do this, she should do her best to support him.

Then, Su Yuan took out a deck of cards from his storage magic item, and the three of them played a game of Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game).

After Su Yuan decisively defeated the Purple-Gold Dragon Lord, who was playing the game for the first time, at the card table, the opponent reluctantly said:
"I lost."

At the same time, a crisp system notification sounded in Su Yuan's mind.

[Congratulations, host, for making the world boss 'Purple Gold Dragon Lord' admit defeat willingly! World Boss*1 defeated!]

[Invincible in New Game Plus (currently active)]

Upon seeing the system notification, Su Yuan was overjoyed.

My reasoning was indeed correct.

After closing the system panel, Su Yuan gathered the cards on the table, his mouth curling into a swoosh, exuding an air of arrogance.

"Senior Dragon Lord, please use your Nascent Soul level power to hit me. Don't worry, I can definitely withstand it in my current state!"

Upon hearing this, the Purple-Gold Dragon Lord and Chen Nuoyi couldn't help but exchange a glance and said in unison:
"you sure?"

"Confirmed! I have figured out the bug in the Void World. Any attack from Senior Dragon Lord will have no effect on me."

Although he had cleared himself of being an illusion of the illusory world, the Purple-Gold Dragon Lord still didn't quite believe Su Yuan's words.

If the bugs in this broken world are really that serious, how does it even work?
However, since this is the kid's request, he doesn't intend to be polite.

The oppressive aura of a Nascent Soul level cultivator surged forth from the body of the Purple-Gold Dragon Venerable, landing heavily on Su Yuan:

"Alright! Then I'll make my move!"

Su Yuan: "Uh, how about you hit me with a Nascent Soul level attack first? That way, even if I get shattered, I can piece myself back together."
