The protagonist is a dedicated filmmaker who unexpectedly dies and finds himself transported to a world of cultivation.
His first thought is: Can I still make movies?
No one's ever tried it before, so I don't know. Might as well give it a shot.
Making movies requires a camera. The cultivation world's image-recording walls are perfect for his needs, but they can only record for fifteen minutes at a time, enough for a short film at best. First, he needs to extend the recording time to two hours!
Actors are hard to find, but fortunately, there's puppet magic. He can sculpt any appearance he wants and control their movements with spiritual power. Playing a hundred roles at once is no dream!
He can use magic for every set, costume, prop, and special effect. As long as his cultivation is strong enough, he can be a whole production crew on his own!
Gradually, he becomes the cultivation world's greatest demon lord.
Because he keeps finding ways to extend the recording time of the image walls, clearly so he can capture other people's dirty laundry and blackmail them.
He trains his puppet magic to the highest level in the world. One man can match an entire sect, and even demonic cultivators are in awe of him.
He wanders around all day, claiming to be shooting on location, when all he really wants is to steal other people's opportunities!
He even says he's going to the demon realm to find inspiration. Of course, searching for rare treasures means getting caught up in bloody battles, and he might even die there. But he comes back looking fresh and full of energy, empty-handed and clearly untouched by any fight. He must be secretly working with the Demon Lord and plotting something sinister!
In short, this man has fallen to demonic ways and must be killed by all.
