I logged into Mr. Zombie

A gentle breeze caresses the bright moon.

The black dragon horse, riding on auspicious clouds, was accompanied by a white crane spreading its wings, as it flew over the winding mountain range towards the interior of Kunlun Mountain.

"Cough cough."

Tan Wenjie cleared his throat.

"Senior brother, you know me, I never tattle."

White Crane Boy: "..."

She only regretted that her gluttony gave Tan Wenjie a handle to blackmail her in the future.

"Senior Brother Baihe, you're always by Grandmaster's side, do you have any useful inside information?" Tan Wenjie asked in a low voice, "What kind of snacks does Grandmaster like?"

"Grandmaster is above all gods and immortals, he is the Great Celestial Venerable, what kind of food hasn't he seen?" As if thinking of the feast he had just had, the White Crane Boy continued, "You don't need to have any ulterior motives. Since Grandmaster wants to see you, he will definitely not shortchange you."

"Look at what you're saying. My filial piety is as clear as day. Do you think I wouldn't come if there were no benefits?"

The white crane boy didn't speak, and just kept flying with his head down.

"Is there really any benefit?" Tan Wenjie pressed.

White Crane Boy: "..."

Upon arriving at the Jade Void Palace, a refreshing breeze swept over him, instantly making Tan Wenjie feel relaxed and invigorated.

Although the [Heavenly Dao] function was enabled after the system update, he didn't know how to use it. But the moment he stepped into the main hall, the new function popped up on its own.

[Heavenly Dao Level: 1]

"Could it be that the Primordial Celestial Venerable is the Heavenly Dao of this world, and this function is activated only when he pays attention to it?"

With his guess in mind, Tan Wenjie dismounted from the black dragon horse and followed the white crane boy, who had transformed back into human form, into the room.

Directly ahead on the lotus throne is a Taoist priest, his head shrouded in divine light, his body draped in seventy-two colored rays of light, his left hand making a gesture, and he is dressed in white.

"Disciple pays respects to Grandmaster." Tan Wenjie performed the disciple's salute.

"sit."

"Thank you, Grandmaster." Tan Wenjie plopped down on the futon and nodded to the White Crane Boy.

Yuanshi Tianzun didn't say anything else, but went straight to preaching.

For Tan Wenjie, the most obvious feeling was the series of notifications: "Experience +10000" and "Experience +20000".

By listening attentively to the teachings of the Primordial Celestial Venerable, you gain a deeper understanding of magic.

Three cards suddenly appeared in front of him.

[Randomly select one]

"Can this still happen?"

Tan Wenjie's eyes lit up.

[72 Transformations lv6]

【Samadhi Divine Wind lv5】

[Forging Enhancement Lv5]

This means that the selected skill level can be directly increased by 1, and there seems to be an additional boost.

With the three cards flipped over, Tan Wenjie made his choice in a fraction of a second.

[Forging Enhancement Lv5 (1/5314410): Can use rare materials to enhance equipment with a very high (70%) success rate. The success rate is further increased with the help of a temperature-controlled divine fire. Equipment attributes can be locked, and experience can be consumed to reforge.]

Although it wasn't the Seventy-Two Transformations, it was still a pleasant surprise. Besides, the Primordial Celestial Venerable's sermon had only just begun, and he had many more opportunities.

Some time passed.

By listening attentively to the teachings of the Primordial Celestial Venerable, you gain a deeper understanding of magic.

coming!

Three more cards.

【Sky Eye lv2】

[Disassembly and Smelting Lv5]

Skill Fusion Furnace Lv3

[Randomly select one]

The Skill Fusion Furnace, in particular, is almost impossible to level up.

Some skills that are too low-level don't need to be fused, while some skills that are too high-level can't be comprehended, so this skill seems somewhat useless.

After Tan Wenjie made his choice, the skill interface remained at [Sky Eye lv2].

[Heavenly Eye Lv2: Reduces the cost of spells and magical artifacts by 50% when using both eyes; enhances visual acuity and allows detection of hostility; Equipment slots: 0/1]

Tan Wenjie blinked, his eyes shining.

The Primordial Celestial Venerable, who was preaching in front, remained unmoved, seemingly unaware of the changes in Tan Wenjie. However, the White Crane Boy, who was serving tea and water to the side, could not hide the shock on his face.

As an observer, Baihe Tongzi saw it clearly: not long ago, Tan Wenjie seemed to have grasped something, and divine light emanated from his body.

The fact that his eyes suddenly lit up indicates that he has gained some new insights.

"This is?"

Tan Wenjie was puzzled. The magic weapon slot meant that his eyes had inadvertently acquired equipment slots. It was already outrageous enough that Sun Wukong stuffed his ten-thousand-pound golden cudgel into his ear. Did he expect to stuff a hammer into his eyes?

He lamented that he was embarking on an inhuman path.

[You had a sudden enlightenment while attentively listening to the teachings of the Primordial Celestial Venerable.]

Again!
And this time the speed was extremely fast.

[You have sensed the existence of the 'Heavenly Dao'. The Heavenly Dao level of the current world has increased to level 2.]

After a long while, Tan Wenjie no longer received any notifications about leveling up. Instead, he kept gaining experience, which he then poured into his experience bar.

His level, which hadn't increased in a long time, rose from 30 to 35.

The higher your level, the higher the level of the secret realms you may unlock in the future.

When Yuanshi Tianzun stopped, Tan Wenjie was still somewhat reluctant to leave.

"Thank you, Master."

“The will of Heaven cannot be changed,” said Yuanshi Tianzun, “but the choice of the chosen one can be altered.”

Tan Wenjie glanced at his clearly defined Heavenly Dao Level 2 and made a guess in his mind.

Previously, it was 1, meaning that he had successfully risen from a supporting role with a lot of screen time to an important supporting role, while Yang Jian was the protagonist and an important supporting role.

Before Chenxiang was born, Yang Jian was undoubtedly the protagonist.

What are the benefits of being the main character?
There are too many benefits. Good luck is just the surface phenomenon, such as having a fortuitous encounter after jumping off a cliff, or being chased but joining a sect of immortals.

The next level is characterized by an irrational comprehension, where one can grasp anything instantly and achieve everything one desires. It's as if any obstacle in one's path transforms into a lifting wind, helping one fly higher.

Tan Wenjie was simply unsure what level his current Heavenly Dao level would be considered in the Lotus Lantern.

But one thing is certain: it has little to do with strength.

“Thank you for your teachings, Master. But I have another question,” Tan Wenjie said. “When Tang Sanzang was traveling to the West, he encountered a green lion in Wuji Kingdom. I saw that green lion when King Wu of Zhou was fighting against King Zhou of Shang. It was the mount of Manjushri Bodhisattva. But now it has become the mount of Manjushri Bodhisattva in the West.”

Manjushri Bodhisattva rides a lion-like monster, and there is also a green lion spirit on Lion Camel Ridge.

It's clear that the Bodhisattva is a big cat lover.

Tan Wenjie looked up at Yuanshi Tianzun and asked, "Are they the same person, or two people?"

"They were two people, but now they are the same person."

"why?"

"Follow the way of Heaven."

"..."

He's a riddle-teller again. If he weren't outmatched, he would definitely ask for clarification.

After waiting for a while, Yuanshi Tianzun lowered his eyes and remained silent.

Tan Wenjie turned to look at Bai He Tongzi, and only after the other nodded did he bow and get up to leave.

As they reached the door, the voice of the Primordial Celestial Venerable suddenly rang out: "You are not the only one who roams freely in the vast void; countless extraterrestrial demons are vying for the Heavenly Dao."

"How many Heavenly Daos are there?" Tan Wenjie asked.

"As many skies as there are, so many ways of heaven exist."

"Disciple understands."

Tan Wenjie believes that he should also be considered an extraterrestrial demon. He is like a legal citizen when he connects with "himself" in countless dimensions through the system and borrows their identities, but when he uses the Abyss Evil Sword and the God and Demon Sword to smuggle himself across space, he is considered an illegal intruder.

Just as Tan Wenjie arrived outside the Jade Void Palace, he suddenly stopped. "Extraterrestrial demons, abyssal evil spirits? So that's it!"

It's been so long since I've heard anything about these things that I almost forgot about them.

However, Tan Wenjie didn't find the abyss terrifying at all; on the contrary, he really liked the various bonuses it brought. The higher the difficulty, the higher the reward.

He turned around and mounted the black dragon horse.

"Return to Thousand-Ren Immortal Peak."

Back in his cave, Tan Wenjie waved to send Princess Wansheng and Princess Yumian away, then focused on studying the [Heavenly Dao] and his new skills.

The Heavenly Dao itself doesn't seem particularly special; further comparison with other worlds is needed.

However, he was very concerned about the fact that his eyes had been added to the equipment slot.

Tan Wenjie took out various magical treasures, divine weapons, and rare materials, and casually grabbed the Ruyi Jingu Bang (a magical staff) and pressed it into his eyes.

"Clang!"

The golden cudgel collided with his eyeball, causing Tan Wenjie's eyes to turn slightly red from the pain.

The golden cudgel twisted, forming a "?", clearly not understanding Tan Wenjie's meaning.

"It shouldn't be."

Tan Wenjie fiddled with the golden cudgel, this time not directly confronting it, but placing it between his eyebrows.

The golden cudgel in his hand vanished without a trace in a flash.

At the same time, Tan Wenjie's [Sky Eye] equipment slot also changed to 1/1, indicating that it has been successfully equipped.

"how to use?"

Tan Wenjie stared wide-eyed, expecting his eyes to pop out like in a comedy animation, but in reality he only threw out the golden cudgel.

"Without eyes, hands, and feet, weapons, shields, and armor cannot function to their full potential."

After trying other magical items, the results were much better.

For example, by equipping a "fire brick" in the eye equipment slot, you can breathe fire by glaring at it.

Aside from enhancing the effect of glaring to kill, it doesn't have any special uses.

He put away all the magical artifacts and weapons and continued with the next research project.

Open the [Secret Realm]. Since each world has its own "Heavenly Dao," you can make calculations by going to the worlds you have already visited.

"This is... a magic phone?"

A new secret realm called "Magic Phone" appeared, and it was in a flashing state, seemingly intertwined with the world of "Lotus Lantern". He was very clear about this state.

When "My Date with a Vampire" and "The World of Zombies in the Republic of China" were intertwined, it was probably like this, with the timelines of the two worlds merging together.

Tan Wenjie speculated that Lu Xiaoqian and the people from the future might have used the silly girl to travel through time too many times, or perhaps they had their own reasons.

This world is now like a honeycomb briquette, full of holes, but with the Primordial Celestial Venerable protecting it, there's a high probability that nothing will go wrong.

He closed his eyes, and a black shadow climbed up his ankles, eventually engulfing him completely.

At the same time, Tan Wenjie also opened his eyes in his own shadowy secret world.

A sinister red sun hung in the sky.

Below are rows of barren cities.

There are also silly girls moving around, carrying out the most basic city construction.

Silly Girl No. 9 noticed Tan Wenjie's arrival and quickly flew over, saying, "We have built to the limit of this world; the largest area is only equivalent to the territory of East Asia, China."

"Already this big?" Tan Wenjie asked in surprise.

“That’s right. And after investigation, I found that the geographical environment of this world is very similar to that of China, so I reconstructed it based on the data in my database.”

"well done."

Tan Wenjie glanced at his Heavenly Dao level.

[The Way of Heaven: 5]

Here, he is undoubtedly the protagonist, after all, he controls the entire world.

"Is the highest level 5, or is the protagonist's lowest level 5?"

He and Silly Girl No. 9 flew low side by side.

"How do you plan to fill this place?" Silly Girl No. 9 asked.

"A group of animals were relocated, and a group of people were also relocated."

Whether someone is talented or not is unimportant. In a world where everyone is self-centered and can completely control everything, Tan Wenjie can do a lot.

“This is indeed the most cost-effective way.” Silly Girl No. 9 nodded in agreement. “I suggest you bring in a group of highly skilled scientific and technological talents, religious talents, and in order to maintain biodiversity, it would be best to keep the ecosystem as intact as possible.”

Tan Wenjie: "..."

After thinking for only a few seconds, he immediately made a decision.

"Then let's first immigrate a group of non-humans and those with strong survival skills."

He had no intention of stealing cockroaches, mosquitoes, moths, or other insects to fill his world.

Silly Girl No. 9 added, "This world is based entirely on Earth. Even if you do nothing, it will slowly develop into a complete Earth."

"So you were joking just now?" Tan Wenjie realized belatedly.

"Isn't it funny?"

"..."

Tan Wenjie changed the subject without any expression.

“I have figured out how to help you become a real life, a real person.”

"Really?" Silly Girl No. 9 exclaimed in surprise.

"That's right, it has flesh and blood, and even its own soul."

"what should I do?"

"Make three pig noises."

"Huff, huff, huff~"

"Hahaha, now that's a joke!" Tan Wenjie said, opening his right hand. "Come with me!"

Previously, Tan Wenjie might not have dared to directly use Silly Girl No. 9 to refine magic weapons, fearing that she would not be able to gain true consciousness, but now that she has the blessing of the Heavenly Dao, it's different.

As long as it's within the bounds of the world's rules, the higher one's Heavenly Dao level, the more one can make everything develop in the direction one desires.

With Silly Girl No. 9 in his pocket, Tan Wenjie began another interdimensional journey.

He paid 30 vitality points, his goal being the [Republic of China Zombie World] he was most familiar with, and the scenery before him changed.

Tan Wenjie hasn't returned for a long time since dealing with the issues in the "My Date with a Zombie" world; the system updates have been going on for hundreds of years.

Returning to the same place, thankfully nothing had changed.

[The Way of Heaven: 3]

"I'm not even a main character, I'm just a supporting character with some screen time?"

Tan Wenjie was confused.

There is only one "protagonist" he can think of right now: Uncle Nine.

Looking up and counting the stars, even though it was a clear day, the stars in the sky, under the powerful magic, were still guiding him.

Meanwhile, in Renjia Town.

Uncle Jiu was sweeping the yard when he suddenly felt a tightness in his chest.

Look up.

"hiss--"

"What's wrong, Master?" Qiu Sheng asked.

“The celestial phenomena have changed,” Wen Cai said from the side.

"You can read the heavens?" Qiu Sheng asked in surprise.

He's clearly even more useless than me in terms of literary talent.

“Look,” Wencai said, pointing upwards.

Qiu Sheng looked up and saw that it was broad daylight, and all the stars were shining brightly, forming a "→" symbol.
