Chapter 1
☪ Plague Prison
"Lu Shi, are you still not going to surrender? Today is your death day!"
At the summit of the mountains, hundreds of ethereal cultivators, swords in hand, hovered in mid-air, watching the man surrounded by them with a mixture of excitement and trepidation.
That femme fatale who could steal hearts with a single smile and shatter mountains and rivers with a casual flick of her finger.
He was wearing only a thin, light blue robe, and his long hair was loosely draped over his shoulders.
Looking at his deep eyes and the faint smile at the corner of his mouth, it was impossible to tell that hundreds of iron chains had pierced through his abdomen, and the blood flowing out had even corroded the chains.
"What's the point of begging for mercy when you're about to die?" Lu Shi said casually, as if he were busy rushing to his next life.
"Hmph, then do you admit to the crimes of murdering millions of innocent people, consuming the essence of tens of thousands of cultivators, and slaughtering the ten major sects!"
The man who asked the question exuded righteousness and pointed his sword at Lu Shi's chest.
For every word he spoke, the cultivators behind him would hurl ten curses at Lu Shi.
"What good will it do to deny it?" Lu Shi looked up at the man he once knew and trusted so well. His innocent smile was just like when they first met, blooming in the wind: "Senior brother, I've only committed one crime: possessing a treasure is a crime. Enough, you can do it!"
...
It was all fleeting, like a nightmare. Lu Shi thought it was a lingering memory from when his soul was about to dissipate.
But when he opened his eyes and found that he could still move, he realized that something was wrong.
He doesn't live as a soul; he still has life force.
However, the place where he was located seemed to be a prison cell.
"Was I arrested?" Lu Shi asked softly, without any surprise.
After all, as the public enemy of the cultivation world, being captured and thrown into dungeons was commonplace for him.
At this point, he only needs to use a teleportation technique to leave this place.
However, when Lu Shi tried to use his magic, he was surprised to find that he had no true energy left in his body.
Could it be that his spiritual root was destroyed?
No, impossible. He had already mastered the Heavenly Demon Saint Body. His body was a self-circulating source of true energy, and spiritual roots were of no use to him.
Just then, he realized something had pierced his body, and a sweet female voice sounded in his ear:
"Welcome to the game of Infinite Wishes."
Lu Shi wanted to speak, but found himself unable to move.
"Her identity has been confirmed, and she has officially signed a contract as a new live streamer."
"Given the streamer's special status, and for the sake of game balance, 99.99% of their abilities are hereby sealed."
Streamer and game were words Lu Shi didn't understand. But he understood the seal; he could only interpret it as him being resurrected by some powerful being from beyond the heavens, but at the cost of sealing all his abilities.
Lu Shi felt he hadn't lost out.
"If the host has no questions, then the live stream will officially begin."
With the restraints on Lu Shi gone, he could finally see the entire room clearly.
...
[Game Lobby]
Unbeknownst to him, his unforgettable face was curled up inside an old television set.
This is the main hall for newlyweds only; only the most bored audience members would come here.
Their empty eyes scanned rapidly across the television screens, and only when they saw the newcomers being torn apart by monsters and their souls being devoured by darkness would they slowly grin, revealing a bloody smile.
"Go to hell! You idiot!"
"Heh, I've had my eye on this pretty boy for a long time. He'd better die already!"
"What do you think? Watching new streamers is all about seeing them suffer a terrible fate! Of course, it would be even more interesting if they were to beg for mercy while crying!"
"Doesn't anyone care whether there will be any future stars among these newcomers? If you ask me, buying stocks in advance is quite interesting!"
"You're overthinking it. There are only a handful of promising newcomers each year; most of them are just here to die!"
Logically speaking, Lu Shi's television set was located in a very remote area, making it almost impossible for anyone to notice it.
Yet some people only glanced at the screen out of the corner of their eye before becoming completely engrossed.
"Come to live stream room 747474, this new streamer is so handsome!"
"Here he comes! The look of despair on this handsome guy's face is what keeps me going!"
Lu Shi was unaware that the number of viewers in his live stream had quietly broken through zero and reached 19.
In the lower right corner of the television screen, there is a line of small gray text: [Plague Prison].
...
“This appears to be a corpse.” Lu Shi seemed quite calm. He squatted down and began to examine the body, which was entirely black and had dark green bumps growing on its open chest.
