Don't try to cultivate immortality; mortals live longer than immortals.

"Cultivating immortality according to the law is the glorious duty of every citizen."

"Destroying one's spiritual root is illegal!"

"Cultivating immortality leads to eternal life, while lying down leads to certain death."

……

The song "GG" playing on a loop on his phone pulled Duan Xuan back to reality.

He felt a little helpless. When he opened the app, his hand accidentally trembled, and seven or eight GGs from the Immortal Alliance rushed in.

"It's another attempt to urge mortals to cultivate immortality..."

A bitter smile appeared on Duan Xuan's lips. In order to prevent mortals from shirking their obligations to cultivate immortality, the bigwigs of the Immortal Alliance have truly degenerated to the point of having no integrity.

GG bombing is the first step.

Nowadays, let alone using a mobile phone, even if you go to a restaurant, the android robot responsible for serving the food can give you an impromptu performance about how great it is to cultivate immortality, and only then will it let you order food.

That's not even the most outrageous part; what's even more absurd is...

Not long ago, a guy went to the toilet to poop but forgot to bring toilet paper, so he had to choose the robot delivery service on his phone.

The other person brought him toilet paper in just 5 seconds.

That guy was overjoyed!

To my utter surprise, when picking up the package, I had to watch a video of a guy saying, "Cultivating immortality is good, cultivating immortality is wonderful, cultivating immortality makes you awesome."

The video is 5 minutes long and cannot be blocked.

The poor guy had been squatting for a long time, and the five-minute ordeal almost made him fall into the pit.

In the past, people's lives were convenient, and material production was handled by robots or even more advanced magical machines, so ordinary people only needed to lie down and enjoy themselves.

As allocation was based on demand, GG was naturally swept into the dustbin of history. Who would have thought that it would now become a powerful tool of the Immortal Alliance, like a whip, urging people to devote themselves to the path of immortality every day.

Duan Xuan shook his head, deciding not to think about the problem.

Although the time travel was short, he adapted very quickly because it was comfortable.

After all, who doesn't know how to lie down and enjoy themselves?

If I can't make money, surely I can spend it?

Anyway, the welfare benefits in this world are incredibly good, and it's almost all allocated according to need. Even if you want to take more, no one will care.

After all, the perfect fusion of immortality and technology has led to an unbelievable level of productivity. Factories and farms are fully automated, and there are all kinds of robots and magical puppets to serve people. The things produced each year are more than enough to spend.

Originally, this beautiful world should have been people's ultimate dream.

But one year, the sky fell!

Lin Tianzun, the protector of this world... has fallen!

Lin Tianzun, a true immortal-level powerhouse, is a legend in this world.

There are countless spirit realms like the Void Realm, and the world they inhabit is just one of them.

The cultivation world is incredibly cruel, and all other realms harbor malice towards Guixu.

Because of the protection of the Heavenly Venerable, the people of this world can live a carefree life.

But now, the guardian angel who sheltered us from the wind and rain is gone...

This was nothing short of a catastrophe!

Originally, when the Celestial Venerable was alive, the Immortal Alliance adopted a laissez-faire attitude towards mortals.

Want to cultivate immortality? No problem! We offer compulsory education here. We not only provide free and attentive guidance on immortal techniques, but also regularly distribute various subsidies and suitable elixirs.

But if you don't come, that's fine with you.

Reincarnation is a skill. Once you're reincarnated into the Void, you're entitled to a life of leisure. You can choose not to cultivate immortality and instead indulge in pleasure. While this isn't encouraged, it's not entirely impossible.

At that time, the relationship between the Immortal Alliance and mortals was harmonious and amicable.

But all of this came to an end with the fall of the Celestial Venerable.

Change is inevitable.

The good news is that, thanks to the "Qiankun Hunyuan Protective Array" left behind by the Celestial Venerable, it won't be so easy for other realms to invade Guixu within the next ten thousand years.

Before the protective array is breached, it is difficult to open large-scale interdimensional channels.

The bad news is that if Guixu cannot produce another True Immortal-level powerhouse within ten thousand years, then the malice from all directions and enemies from other realms will eventually overwhelm it.

Now, more than half of the time has passed, and the Immortal Alliance's attitude towards mortals has undergone a complete transformation.

Instead of letting things drift, rules were set: cultivation of immortality was mandatory!

Eight thousand years ago, the Elders' Council of the Immortal Alliance passed the "Compulsory Cultivation Law," which stipulates that all people in the Spirit Realm and its affiliated interfaces who are eighteen years of age or older are obligated to undergo spiritual root testing.

Those who meet the requirements will embark on the path to immortality.

Those who evade the requirement, or those who pass the qualification test but refuse to cultivate immortality, will be sentenced to three hundred years in prison according to the "Obligatory Immortal Cultivation Law".

Yes, even if you break the law, you won't lose the benefits of genetic modification, and you don't need to worry about having a shorter lifespan than others.

But whether living to three hundred years old would be a blessing or a curse back then was hard to say.

It can be said that having the opportunity to put into practice what it would be like to spend your life in jail is an incredibly bitter experience.

The Immortal Alliance's goal is simple: to weed out the weak from the strong.

Faced with such a crisis, relying solely on genius is not advisable. On the path to immortality, talent, hard work, and opportunity are all indispensable. Having good spiritual roots does not guarantee success in the end.

If Lin Tianzun was like this back then, then most of those who came after him would likely follow suit. Therefore, their plan was to create another super strong person by simply increasing the number of such individuals.

After all, who knows if there are any ordinary mortals who have cheat codes?

Not wanting to miss out on such a powerful... no, a chosen one of Heaven's favored sons, the "Compulsory Cultivation Method" was created.

……

the other side.

I finally managed to read through seven or eight cultivation-themed novels in one go.

Duan Xuan didn't dare put his phone aside. When the video played, the phone's camera would be used, and trying to cheat would only lead to more and more problems.

So, a full 10 minutes later, Duan Xuan finally logged into a game called "Lying Down Will Eventually Lead to Death, Cultivating Immortality is Boundless Joy".

Although the game's name is simple, the Immortal Alliance invested a great deal of effort and resources in its development.

Through the perfect combination of Taoist cultivation and technology, virtual reality has been elevated to a 100% level.

What's even more remarkable is that it doesn't require a game pod or sensor talismans; it can be accessed anytime, anywhere via mobile phone.

It emphasizes convenience and speed, allowing you to make the most of your spare time, even while taking a dump, so you can have an immersive experience.

The game's content is very simple, with only one main storyline—cultivating immortality.

It is said to be a true simulation and restoration of the real-world immortal path.

In the game, you can experience exciting and classic scenes such as flying on a sword, chasing down powerful enemies, and the underdog's rise to power, and thoroughly humiliate those geniuses who once looked down on you.

Step by step, he enhances his potential for immortality, eventually becoming the ruler of a realm, living forever, and indulging in whatever pleasure he desires...

In short, while Xianmeng advertises a 100% authentic recreation, in reality, the player's growth path in the game is more like that of an overpowered protagonist.

The main focus is... deception!

The goal is to make those who get carried away with this game, unable to distinguish between reality and virtuality, obediently go and cultivate immortality.

After all, relying on the deterrent effect of the "Obligatory Immortal Cultivation Law" is too simplistic and crude. Without some other means, how can we get those mortals who are used to enjoying life to change their habit of lying down and indulging in pleasure?

The feedback was excellent, and the game became incredibly popular as soon as it was released.

However, what followed was a situation that left the Immortal Alliance officials extremely embarrassed and angry.

Since its release, the game's login and online rates have been soaring almost every day, and the data alone is incredibly exciting.

But they soon discovered...

The conversion rate, however, was not affected by the explosive data.

The game is indeed eye-catching, and people are obsessed with cultivating immortality in the game, experiencing all kinds of joy and excitement.

That's all!

People enjoy games, but when it comes to actually embarking on the path to immortality, they still fear it like a tiger.

Damn it, isn't this just like getting something for free?

Faced with sugar-coated bullets, these guys are as cunning as monkeys; they take the sugar coating but return the bullets to their original source.

According to rumors, on the game's first anniversary, the conversion rate in the reports was less than 0.01%, and the elder in charge of the project almost smashed the server in anger.

Hearing this gossip from Zhou Ran, Duan Xuan was deeply shocked.

For the mortals of this world, they may have long been accustomed to a life where they can simply lie back and receive benefits from the Immortal Alliance.

This has been how things have been for thousands of years; so much time has passed that it all seems to have become a matter of course.

However, as an outsider, Duan Xuan obviously wouldn't think that way.

Previously, with the protection of the Celestial Venerable, lying down was not a problem, but now that things are urgent, the Celestial Alliance's methods are a bit too gentle.

On the surface, it seems like a lot has been done, but upon closer analysis, the most significant action has been nothing more than a barrage of negative comments.

Even the "Obligatory Cultivation Law" has little deterrent effect.

As for developing games to spark people's interest in cultivation, Duan Xuan considered it completely unnecessary.

is it necessary?

Is it really necessary to make it this complicated?

Compared to mortals, the Immortal Alliance holds absolute power.

There's not even a need to use violence.

Lie flat?

Pleasure?

You don't want to cultivate immortality, huh?

Dealing with this kind of scoundrel is easy, isn't it?

When the welfare program stopped, everyone went silent.

Besides, there's nothing wrong with it.

A group of ordinary people, who have made no contribution since birth, yet have a lifespan of three hundred years to lie around and enjoy the life of emperors. Is all of this really reasonable?

The Immortal Alliance provided all the services, but now that the Immortal Alliance is in crisis, you all seem indifferent.

Everyone thinks that a lifespan of three hundred years has nothing to do with disasters thousands of years later, right?

The Immortal Alliance shouldn't tolerate guys who just want to lie down and enjoy themselves without taking any responsibility; cutting off their benefits is the best option.

But for some reason, the Immortal Alliance abandoned this simple method. It was as if even a child could come up with it, yet none of the ancient monsters who had lived for hundreds or thousands of years had discovered it.

This is unreasonable, very unreasonable.

Duan Xuan wanted to find the underlying logic.

There must be some secret hidden in this!
