Chapter Summaries

Su Luo explained the world's layers of space, demonstrated the danger of the void, and answered the Dao Lords' questions about cultivation and lifespan. As his team moved to capture the Survivors trapped by the Space Storm, many others escaped, leaving Wu Guang's plans in doubt.

• Su Luo described the Rule Layer, Parallel Layer, and Base Space, then used a Space Storm to tear apart Tianxuan Dao Lord's body.
• Tianxuan recovered and asked Su Luo whether the Dao Master Realm differed greatly from the Dao Lord Realm; Su Luo explained that Fruit Positions, lifespan, and Qi worked differently than the Dao Lords had assumed.
• A Dao Lord declared that Su Luo's answers offered hope for the Returning Sea and transcendence.
• Su Luo trapped the Survivors in a Space Storm and sent his teammates to deal with them, but nearly twenty escaped.
• Song Shige entered the Space Storm unharmed and attacked the Survivors trying to break through, while Wu Guang worried that Luosu's group would hunt the targets he had planned to pursue.

Lan Cijiu used his Wordless Book to probe Wu Guang and Luosu, but transcendent information repeatedly blocked his access. Elsewhere, Su Luo heard the Dao Lords’ request to take them beyond the world and began questioning the nature of the Demon Clan’s calamity, leaving the world’s past destruction unresolved.

• Lan Cijiu approached Wu Guang and said he wanted enough World Influence to secure a place in the top one hundred and fifty, while leaving open the possibility of cooperation.
• Lan Cijiu used his Wordless Book to inspect Wu Guang and Luosu, learning that Su Luo had reached the Dao Lord realm and created his own system after tearing apart the Heaven-bestowed Fruit Position.
• Lan Cijiu selected a random chapter, but his Genealogy skill blocked much of the information about transcendent beings, so he tried drawing again.
• Su Luo learned that the Dao Lords wanted him to take them with him when he left the world, since their Fruit Positions and authority would fail beyond it and they would lack Qi.
• Su Luo asked why the Dao Lords thought they could not defeat the Demon Clan’s great calamity, then considered whether the world had already been devoured and rebuilt.

Su Luo learned from the Ancient Mirror that the Demon Clan had repeatedly devastated the world and waited for it to recover, then the mirror shattered while revealing clues about a hidden power. The Primordial Yang Dao Lord fused the Primordial Yang and Mysterious Yin Fruit Positions to become Two Principles Daojun, who emerged amid the ruined world and turned his attention to its remaining people and power.

• Su Luo questioned the Ancient Mirror about the Heavenly Dao Fruit Positions and the world's repeated destruction, learning that the demons withdrew and waited for the world to recover.
• The Ancient Mirror began cracking as it revealed the words “Fusion... Primordial Yang...” and then shattered, prompting the Dao Lords to sense a terrifying presence beyond the heavens.
• Su Luo suspected a hidden keeper had been collecting cultivators' Violet Palaces and Golden Cores, then spread his Dark Domain and hunted the Survivors.
• The Primordial Yang Dao Lord fused his origin with the captured Mysterious Yin Dao Lord, burning Golden Cores and Violet Palaces to unite the Two Principles Fruit Positions.
• Two Principles Daojun awakened, lamented that the Ancient Mirror had shattered, and surveyed the surviving Dao Lords, cultivators, and Survivors before deciding to claim the remaining World Influence.

Su Luo trapped Dick Lang in a vacuum and used Heartfire to test the limits of his adaptive abilities. Meanwhile, Dieyi Daojun and Fu Li argued over the Two Principles Daojun title as Kundina headed for the Void Sea, leaving Fu Li caught slacking again.

• Su Luo burned the Survivor to ashes, intercepted his fleeing soul, and resisted the Primordial Heavenly Father's gaze with his spiritual cycles and Heartfire.
• Dick Lang attacked Su Luo, but Su Luo crushed his body and cast him into a prepared vacuum domain where spatial travel and access to energy were restricted.
• Dick Lang repeatedly adapted to Heartfire, but his reserves dwindled as he struggled to escape the vacuum.
• Dieyi Daojun claimed he was best suited to become Two Principles Daojun, and Fu Li dismissed his supposed yin-and-yang cultivation as lust.
• Fu Li reached the pseudo-golden core realm as the world's population had been reduced by more than 99.9999 percent, and Kundina passed them on her way to the Void Sea.

As the Demon Tide crossed the Void Sea and the eighth day neared its end, Su Luo sent Dieyi Daojun and Fu Li to aid Survivors and coordinated with Song Shige against the forces behind the invasion. He learned that tens of Golden Cores and 3,600 Violet Palaces were flying from the Kongling Ocean, revealing that someone had been secretly collecting cultivators’ realm characteristics.

• Silk Woman completed a rainbow-thread bridge across the Void Sea, allowing the Demon Insects to advance as their Demon Tide pushed through Su Luo’s Dark Domain.
• Su Luo found Dieyi Daojun and Fu Li joking about their conditions, then sent them to help the Survivor organization near the Kongling Ocean.
• Su Luo met Song Shige beneath the Upper World and told him that Wu Guang was in the Fire Domain while Silk Woman was likely repairing space over the Void Sea; Song Shige then entered the Space Storms.
• The Demon Insects completed their crossing, and Su Luo forced a Pseudo-Golden Core Survivor in the Fire Domain to use Blood Shadow Escape before receiving intelligence from Yun Xiaoxiao.
• Yun Xiaoxiao reported that tens of Golden Cores and 3,600 Violet Palaces were flying from the Kongling Ocean, and Su Luo realized that someone had been secretly collecting these realm characteristics.

Su Luo studied Parallel Layer spaces while Lan Cijiu and Wu Guang tested a method to create an [Endless Devouring Abyss]. The Abyss broke free into Chaos, triggering a Space Storm that began destroying the world, and Lan Cijiu fled after revealing his real battlefield.

• Su Luo used the Heavenly Dao's authority to analyze Parallel Layer spaces and sought a method to travel through similar spaces in other worlds.
• Lan Cijiu gave [Food] glowing egg fried rice, and [Food] transformed into the [Endless Devouring Abyss], which pulled in nearby matter and energy.
• Wu Guang explained that Lan Cijiu's egg fried rice caused an endlessly stacking hunger, while his Demon Insects advanced toward the cleared Fire Domain.
• The [Endless Devouring Abyss] shattered the Parallel Layer's limits and plunged into Chaos, drawing the world into a spreading Space Storm.
• Wu Guang realized Lan Cijiu had opened a catastrophic battlefield, but Lan Cijiu had already escaped and left behind three taunting passages.

Wu Guang triggered a catastrophe in the upper world and was confronted by powerful attackers, while the battlefield shifted after the Vacuum Domain fell into Chaos. Mu Hongyuan and her companions found Dick Lang, who had escaped and waited calmly in the Fire Domain.

• Wu Guang realized the Space Storm had made the upper world uninhabitable to most beings, then used a Rainbow Thread to track a concealed presence in the Chaos.
• A white-robed man and a figure in a Dark Daoist Robe sealed off Wu Guang as the Taiji Diagram bound the Two-Pole Principles, and Fate's Choice checks left him exposed to an attack and the Spacetime Hourglass.
• Kundina noticed the Demon Insects retreating and the Dark Domain being devoured, then learned that Dick Lang had broken free when the Vacuum Domain fell into Chaos.
• Kundina asked Mu Hongyuan to find Dick Lang, and Mu Hongyuan went with Dieyi Daojun, Fu Li, and the Woof Woof Squad toward the Dark Domain.
• Mu Hongyuan's group found Dick Lang lying calmly in the Fire Domain, and he silently met Mu Hongyuan's gaze as system notifications about resistance flooded the screen.

Dick Lang resisted Mu Hongyuan’s influence and refused Fu Li’s offer to cooperate, instead demanding that Fu Li and Mu Hongyuan perform for him. At the [Endless Devouring Abyss], Wu Guang cast himself into the abyss, leaving Su Luo and Two Principles Daojun to face each other amid the chaos.

• Mu Hongyuan stopped trying to control Dick Lang and asked Fu Li for help, while Dieyi Daojun distracted Fu Li with crude advice.
• Fu Li hypnotized Dick Lang with the app’s pink circles, then used the affection feature until Dick Lang’s resistance rose and the gifts became too costly.
• Fu Li offered Dick Lang a partnership, but Dick Lang refused and asked Fu Li and Mu Hongyuan to teach and train in front of him instead.
• Su Luo questioned Two Principles Daojun’s identity as a Survivor and moved closer to Wu Guang, who was left as sludge after their attack.
• Wu Guang said he had something more important than the Large Dungeon to deal with, then let himself fall into the [Endless Devouring Abyss].
• Two Principles Daojun approached Su Luo, who seized control of the Qi around them and wondered whether Two Principles Daojun could take over the strongest living being in each world.

Su Luo fought Two Principles Daojun in the Chaos, where their battle tore apart space and revealed monstrous forms crawling through it. Meanwhile, Lan Cijiu confronted Kundina, and their clash was interrupted by a mysterious narrator before Kundina attacked again.

• Two Principles Daojun attacked Su Luo with yin-yang sword light, but Su Luo’s Heartfire and the [Endless Devouring Abyss] absorbed most of its force.
• Two Principles Daojun used his yin and yang bodies to fight Su Luo, but Su Luo’s Cang Yue-brand magic robe reflected a blow and his Heartfire trapped the yin body.
• Su Luo released his soul and expanded a vast Heartfire Domain, forcing Two Principles Daojun to merge his bodies and transform into a giant with thirty-six arms.
• The battle between Su Luo and Two Principles Daojun tore space back into the Chaos, where a Violet Palace Great Perfection cultivator glimpsed monstrous things crawling through it.
• Lan Cijiu appeared before Kundina in a chef’s uniform and began heating a pan, while Kundina summoned a giant flame demon.
• A narrator described the two women’s clash, startling Lan Cijiu, and Kundina transformed the demon into a jeweled sword and attacked her.

Lan Cijiu fought the God of Magic, Kundina, while Narrator exposed his plans and destroyed his information advantage. As Lan Cijiu’s Chef’s Fire forced Kundina to flee, Nai Zi arrived and incapacitated the battlefield with contagious laughter before spitting into Lan Cijiu’s mouth.

• Lan Cijiu’s hundred-flavour body was cut apart by Kundina, but he escaped into the void and formed the Five-Flavour Domain.
• Narrator revealed Lan Cijiu’s plans to refine a Golden Core and use the Immortal Pot, and Kundina cut the Core free and smashed it.
• Lan Cijiu rebuilt and strengthened his body, then trapped Kundina beneath the giant pot and attacked with Chef’s Fire.
• Nai Zi arrived and spread laughter through the battlefield, contaminating Lan Cijiu, Kundina, and Narrator.
• Lan Cijiu’s Chef’s Fire burned Kundina’s body to ash, but her soul escaped; Nai Zi then spat into Lan Cijiu’s mouth.

Lan Cijiu was swept into chaos as the collapsing world marked the end of an era, while Ye Fan and Layton continued drifting through the Void Sea in the Primordial World. Dina String judged the world’s bizarre mixture of civilizations to be an artificial testing ground, and the Survivors remained under threat from their pursuers.

• Lan Cijiu was caught by Rainbow Threads in the chaos and saw a dark-robed figure promise to seek out the person whose severed head he carried in the next era.
• The Dark Abyss began consuming the universe, destroying worlds and leaving a Demon God wielding Rainbow Threads as the sole survivor among the beings of chaos.
• Ye Fan and the recovering Layton drifted through the Void Sea while still evading a powerful Martial Dao Civilization that had tracked them across planes.
• Layton asked why only two Survivors from their world had entered the Dungeon, and Dina String explained that Survivor slots were likely assigned by badge count rather than strength.
• Dina String argued that the Primordial World’s clashing supernatural systems made it resemble an artificial testing ground, while Layton blamed the system for prioritizing danger over beauty.

Su Luo entered a new, mana-related era as an Apprentice Archmage and began investigating its magical systems while his assistant gathered information. His student Jerome confronted him over failing to advance, demanding to know why he had made no progress in ten years.

• Dina String and Layton headed toward a technological civilization while Ye Fan flew toward a war-torn major plane to meet an old friend and settle old karma.
• Su Luo discovered a Mana Battery hidden in a light fixture, absorbed its mana, and identified his new role as Apprentice Archmage and the young woman as his student, Notherland.
• Su Luo found that Yun Xiaoxiao had entered his information terminal and was compiling information about the world, and he also recognized the Space Fruit Position in his consciousness.
• Jerome burst into the conference room with news that Evan Thorne had become a Permanent Archmage and challenged Su Luo over failing to advance in ten years.
• Su Luo dismissed the group meeting and claimed he would win the next appointment round, but Jerome pressed him to explain why he had not been selected again.

Su Luo learned about Aurelian’s academic system and his stalled career before discovering that the island’s mana was sealed off from elemental conversion. He invited Notherland to assist with a high-energy experiment, then kicked her out of the research group after she admitted her report was AI-generated.

• Jerome and Notherland urged Su Luo to build connections and play the academic system’s political and social games.
• Yun Xiaoxiao compiled information about Aurelian and its academic ranks, and Su Luo learned that he had remained an Apprentice Archmage for ten years because he could not navigate the system’s favors and social customs.
• Su Luo left the conference room as his mental cycle began converting his energies into mana, and Yun Xiaoxiao located a medium-sized mana storage array beneath the laboratory building.
• Su Luo and Yun Xiaoxiao discovered that the island lacked magic and that its mana seemed encrypted against reverse conversion.
• Notherland warned Su Luo not to retaliate against Jerome, then admitted her experimental report had been generated with AI.
• Su Luo told Notherland she was out of the research group, and she protested that they had worked together for five years.

Su Luo investigated why the world’s Mana was unusable while Notherland offered to protect his position and lent him a strange stone. His research suggested that Mana was sealed in another dimension called the Demon Realm, leaving him to study the Weaving System and continue cultivating through electrical energy.

• Notherland claimed she had helped keep Su Luo’s rape case deadlocked and threatened to withdraw her appeal if he fired her.
• Notherland promised to handle Evan Thorne taking Su Luo’s position and lent him an unidentified, light-absorbing stone she called Mao Stone.
• Su Luo entered the institute’s core laboratory and used Yun Xiaoxiao’s remote electrical-energy transmission to convert electricity into Qi while avoiding the faulty Mana.
• Su Luo and Yun Xiaoxiao prepared instruments to investigate the world’s Mana and discussed how an enormous Mana-free region might be maintained.
• Su Luo explained that Weave Mages drew Mana and elements sealed in the Demon Realm into real space, where they wove them into spells.

Su Luo tested Silk Mana and found that encryption changed its elemental properties and made it weaker than raw mana. He deduced and cast an eighth-ring spell, then noticed that Silk Mana appeared to have a shape.

• Su Luo named the altered, encrypted mana Silk Mana and tested it by casting a first-ring Fireball.
• Su Luo learned from Yun Xiaoxiao that Soren Xingjia's networks contained no complete models above the sixth ring or other advanced research.
• Su Luo and Yun Xiaoxiao searched the networks, but found little useful information, so he began deducing spell models himself.
• Su Luo assembled experimental equipment and deduced an eighth-ring spell model as his attributes rose to 15.
• Su Luo used Silk Mana to cast Meteorite Fire Domain and found it was sixty percent weaker than the version powered by raw mana.
• Su Luo observed Silk Mana closely and was stunned to discover that it seemed to have a shape.

Fu Li entered a world where ambient Mana and spell power were severely weakened, then escaped a Slime-breeding facility run by a military faction in the floating city-state of [Ezra]. He learned that he was registered as an illegal vagrant and set out to replenish his Mana by hunting magical beasts.

• Fu Li woke in a Slime cave, absorbed Mana and elements from the Slimes, and discovered that spells were far weaker and ambient Mana was absent.
• Fu Li sent a puppet to find the cave’s exit and discovered an alloy door leading to a monitored facility.
• An armed squad entered and fired on Fu Li, but he killed the soldiers and asked one of them about the world.
• Fu Li learned that the Slime cave was a production facility where [Ezra]'s military faction disposed of illegal vagrants and harvested Mana crystals.
• Fu Li left the cave, learned that he was registered as an illegal vagrant, and hunted magical beasts for Mana instead of using a [Demon Realm Transfer Spell].

Fu Li tried to enter Ezra and learned that legal nomads were treated as Mana reserves, while Lan Cijiu surveyed a vast Mana-aligned world and used the Heavenly Book to investigate Su Luo. The chapter left Lan Cijiu with clues that Su Luo had arrived in the new era and might quickly identify his nominal student and permanent NPC.

• Fu Li reached the defenses of Ezra, and a guard offered him temporary legal nomad status after Fu Luo demonstrated Second Ring-level magic.
• The guard explained that legal nomads served as additional Mana sources for Ezra’s citizens, and Fu Li reacted with outrage before fleeing because Dieyi was still chasing him.
• Lan Cijiu surveyed the new world, discovering its vast continents, floating cities, warring races, and an enormous corpse above the void.
• Lan Cijiu tried cultivating, then used the Heavenly Book’s Nearby chapters feature to read about Su Luo’s arrival in the new era.
• The Heavenly Book revealed that the Rainbow Badge might connect to other worlds and that Su Luo could quickly identify his nominal student and permanent NPC, Jerome.

Lan Cijiu chose to hide in the Miasma and preserve his essence for the endgame, while Su Luo investigated Silk Mana and asked Yun Xiaoxiao about the era’s Ritual. Yun Xiaoxiao said it required a powerful sponsor and likely brought participants closer to the Demon Realm.

• Lan Cijiu decided to avoid conflict in the third era, jumped from the floating island into the Miasma, and planned to wait for the endgame with his essence intact.
• Su Luo studied a powerful lava-meteor Spell and examined how Silk Mana’s artificial microscopic structure affected its properties.
• Su Luo showed his findings to Yun Xiaoxiao, who was startled by the technology involved in shaping Silk Mana.
• Su Luo asked Yun Xiaoxiao about the era’s Ritual, and she explained that it required a sponsor of at least seventh-circle Weave Mage or Archmage standing.
• Yun Xiaoxiao inferred that the Ritual brought participants closer to the Demon Realm, where the world’s Silk Mana originated.

Su Luo asked Yun Xiaoxiao to arrange an early Ritual and investigated whether a high-energy experiment could damage thread Mana. When Zane Byrne arrived at Su Luo’s laboratory, he found it engulfed in Black Flame around a tenth-circle energy experiment and begged for his life.

• Su Luo asked Yun Xiaoxiao to book the earliest Ritual and told her to make Zane Byrne wait while he investigated thread Mana.
• Yun Xiaoxiao explained that Su Luo would need to verify his identity in person and that Zane Byrne was coming because Notherland had targeted Evan Thorne.
• Zane Byrne collected his Magic Seals and reviewed outrageous letters that had appeared on the desks of powerful city officials, then traced them to Notherland and decided to confront Su Luo.
• Zane Byrne recalled Su Luo’s former promise as an Archmage and the suppression that had sidelined him for ten years.
• Zane Byrne entered Su Luo’s laboratory, where Black Flame shattered his protective Magic Seal and surrounded a tenth-circle energy experiment, so he dropped to his knees and begged for mercy.

Su Luo extracted the director’s memories, learned about the Demon’s Advent Ritual, and unleashed a devouring black flame that erased the Monroe Research Institute. Meanwhile, [Husband Away on Business, Being Someone's Zero] and [Qiao Wenxi] discussed how Survivors could access the Demon Realm’s Mana.

• Su Luo drained the director’s Magic Seals, took his memories, and refined him into a puppet to learn about the Demon’s Advent Ritual and its scheduled location at Lunshang Base.
• Su Luo decided to use Silk Mana only for external effects, then sent a black flame through the Monroe Research Institute to devour its energy resources and structures.
• A surveillance attendant spotted the spreading darkness, prompting emergency officials and high-level mages to assemble and identify it as a possible Eleven-Ring Forbidden Spell.
• [Husband Away on Business, Being Someone's Zero] asked [Qiao Wenxi] how to enter the Demon Realm, and she explained that access came from the Demon’s Advent Ritual as a world-bestowed Talent.
• [Husband Away on Business, Being Someone's Zero] accepted that he could not access the Demon Realm by another means and complained about lacking resources, while [Qiao Wenxi] questioned his name.
