To Harm the Righteous Path, I Had No Choice But to Make Games

Zhong Yi's live stream room.

"Go to the Moon Realm??"

Zhong Yi looked at his senior sister Qin Li'en behind him with a blank expression.

"Why are you looking at me... I can't read minds."

Qin Li'en rolled her eyes at him and retorted mercilessly.

In Lu Ze's previous life's original work, the game was a pixel game, and the player progressed through the game from the perspective of male and female researchers.

After changing it to first-person perspective, it naturally couldn't be produced in that way, so Lu Ze made a bold adjustment.

Players will always have a male or female senior brother or sister, and the personalities of the senior brother or sister will complement the player's.

At this point, Zhong Yi is a talkative junior, and his partner is a reliable senior who likes to complain but is cold on the outside but warm on the inside.

This design, similar to the male and female researchers with vastly different personalities from their previous lives, can make players feel less lonely and bored as the story progresses.

"Damn it! Is this what Junior Brother Lu sees as love?!"

Zhong Yi grumbled inwardly.

He also felt that Qin Li'en was the love line that Lu Ze had arranged for him.

I miss Sutil... Sigh!

Zhong Yi sighed.

At this moment, another piece of information appeared in his notes:

【Lunar Realm: The celestial realm beyond the moon】

Do you know why your master wants to go to the Moon Realm?

Qin Li'en asked.

"I don't know... The master always liked to look at the moon under the lighthouse until midnight. That's all I know."

After trying to recall, Chen Lili answered.

"It's going to be difficult if we don't know the reason..."

Qin Li'en bit her finger, looking troubled.

"Can you tell me more about your husband?"

Chen Lili sighed:

“I have been taking care of the master for two years. The master is really a kind man... but also an eccentric one. He rarely speaks, and this old servant dares not ask him anything.”

"The master must have been a carpenter; he built this old house himself..."

"Oh, by the way, the master also had a wife who passed away not long before I came here..."

"I really don't know much about the rest, I only know that the master is a really kind man."

Faced with this answer, Zhong Yi couldn't help but complain: "Hearing your words is like hearing nothing at all... not a single useful piece of information!!"

Qin Li'en glared at him: "Shut up and get back to your work!"

Chen Lili appeared somewhat embarrassed: "My two immortal masters, I'm so sorry... I really don't know much. Perhaps you two could take a stroll around this old house and maybe find some letters left by the master?"

"Well, that's the only way."

Qin Li'en nodded and looked at Zhong Yi.

"Junior Brother Zhong, do you still remember what the key to my Dream-Making Array is?"

What is it?

"...I'm asking you a question!!"

Qin Li'en rubbed his forehead and then explained to Zhong Yi.

"The techniques of my Dream Weaving Sect are not created out of thin air; one must sow a cause to reap an effect..."

"If we want to achieve the 'effect' of the old man going to the Moon Realm, then we must plant the 'cause' of him going to the Moon Realm."

"So we must first figure out why the old man wants to go to the Moon Realm before we can get this 'cause'... to be recognized by him personally."

After listening to Qin Li'en's explanation, Zhong Yi nodded thoughtfully.

"Although this technique is crude, it does have some theoretical basis... No wonder you are Junior Brother Lu."

"I'll stay here to set up the magical artifacts. You go inside the old house and look for clues... the more the better."

Qin Li'en tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and said to Zhong Yi.

As she finished speaking, the main quest in the upper right corner of Zhong Yi's vision changed:

【Main quest updated:】

【Go to the area around the old house and collect clues about "Gu Yun"】

"clear!"

Zhong Yi smiled and agreed, and was about to walk out of the room when he was stopped by the Gu doctor behind him.

"Wait a minute! Please take this with you!"

Wen Yaoxin handed over a half-black, half-white Gu worm, which was making a regular "beep beep" sound.

Zhong Yi asked curiously, "What is this?"

"The twin Gu worms... can sense the condition of the Heart Strengthening Gu."

Wen Yaoxin explained.

"Its cry was in sync with the old man's heartbeat..."

"The white color on his body represents the old man's remaining time... If the Twin Gu were completely black, then the old man would be passing away soon."

"Take it with you, so you can know how the old man is doing. I'll take care of things here, so we don't need it for now."

Zhong Yi took the Twin Gu ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) and watched as its jet-black body slowly crawled upwards, accompanied by a continuous, strange "beep beep" sound.

【Twin Gu: Can sense the host's life force waning (Remaining lifespan: 1 day and 7 hours)】

"The old man was a pitiful man too..."

Zhong Yi sighed, put the Twin Gu into his backpack, and went downstairs.

Following the instructions, Zhong Yi went downstairs.

Chen Lili's two children are playing the piano together.

This was a melody that Zhong Yi had never heard before.

It is melodious and gentle, yet carries an indescribable, subtle sadness.

"Strange, this melody seems to have some kind of magic... It made my nose tingle, and now I'm curious about everything in this mansion..."

Zhong Yi stroked his chin and muttered to himself.

It's a bit strange, but not unpleasant.

Lu Ze, who was watching the live stream, blinked in amazement: "Senior Brother Zhong is quite perceptive!"

The song contains a hidden meaning.

Fear and entanglement bind souls.

This was a profound technique he had obtained from the system a long time ago.

It can disregard cultivation level and influence a cultivator's emotions.

The background music for "To the Moon" is already a tearjerker, and with the added power of the Fear and Emotion Array, its ability to evoke emotions becomes even stronger.

Considering that the opponent he was to defeat was the cold-hearted and ruthless elder of the Heartless Sect, Lu Ze did not place all his bets on love or emotional manipulation.

The melancholy of the monks when the background music played was part of the song's charm.

The Fear of Souls and the Entwining of Emotions Array guides—

The desire to explore, curiosity.

Once Guo Yunfeng follows the guidance and begins to actively explore the truth, she will spontaneously immerse herself in the plot.

Once the psychological defenses are lowered at this point, the formation can be used to guide the emotions of sadness.

If Guo Yunfeng can maintain her composure after this series of moves...

Then Lu Ze had no choice but to ask the remnant spirit of the Heavenly Dao to come out of the mountain.

Since the Illusion Alliance acted unjustly first, this can't be considered an unjust act.

As for the compensation...

He is ready.

【To the Moon is a frequent subject of game-related fiction.】

【However... I should be the first person to incorporate it into a cultivation novel, make some radical modifications, and still manage to make them reasonably plausible.】

【Those of you currently following the updates are among the first to witness the cultivation-themed version of "To the Moon." Hopefully, it can defy fate and allow both the characters and the book to overcome this tribulation.】
