We agreed to only make games, so what the hell is this "Ten Thousand Souls Banner"?

Chu Xiao transmigrated to a modern cultivation world, only to be met with a disastrous start. His parents were gone, his spiritual roots vanished, his sect abandoned… In despair, Chu Xiao stared at the soul banner left by his father, lost in thought. Fortunately, the game industry in this world was extremely scarce, and players' souls were connected to the virtual world's "Spirit Network." Every time a player died in a game he created, the souls in the Soul Banner would increase by 1, restoring the sect's glory—a duty he couldn't shirk! Thus, a new "Godfather of Games" was born. [You released *Cat Mario*, global players' mentality collapsed, you gained 4396 souls] [N players' Dao hearts were shattered in *Hollow Knight*, you gained 10086 souls] [You released *Sekiro*, the whole world echoed the word "death," you gained 114514 souls]… Genius girl: Please, Teacher Chu Xiao, don't release any more games! My Dao heart is shattered! Cultivation giant: This isn't a game! This is clearly a supreme trial for the soul! Players across the internet: Although he made us suffer terribly, he showed us what a real game is like. He is the only true god in the gaming world! Years later, Chu Xiao, who had become a Mahayana cultivator, was interviewed: "I really just wanted to be an ordinary game producer. As for this sky-covering Ten Thousand Soul Banner... that was just my server, really."
