• Vassal Number One Xiao Xiao Luo told the World Will that the Ghost Domain Game had been expelled and demanded the remaining data as payment.

• Vassal Number One crossed the Spatial Rift into a lifeless, ruined world and recognized the black sun overhead as the true form of the Ghost Domain.
• The Alchemical Puppet swallowed the World Will, and the black sun bound Vassal Number One with chains and killed him by invoking [Law-Death].

Su Luo investigated reports that Adjudications were behaving strangely and concluded that the career advancement dungeon’s prolonged-stay penalty was transforming Adrian Academy. After dissecting the World Will, he gained unowned Karma and Merit, knowledge for improving his technique, and abilities that could suppress power within a domain.

• Wang Fujian told Su Luo that his Adjudication had begun acting independently and changing in appearance, and Su Luo questioned Yun Xiaoxiao about similar changes.

• Su Luo considered combining Constant Spell with Suppression Domain to create a rudimentary Law.

Su Luo finished examining the knowledge and tools gained from the world will, then noticed that Adrian Academy’s students were changing in unsettling ways. Yun Xiaoxiao suspected that the students’ [Adjudications] were Alchemical Puppets, leaving Su Luo and her wondering whether they had been caught from the beginning.

• Su Luo reviewed the world will’s knowledge, kept its [Computational Core] for his laboratory, and discovered that his [Ten Thousand Worlds] panel had gained 246791 [Source] and now charged extra energy for Talents.
• Su Luo found Chilie in the martial dao laboratory and questioned him about his background and his brother’s white-eyed appearance; Chilie was overcome by [Cognitive Fear] and left [Adrian] to seek out an old friend.
• Su Luo borrowed more than eighty billion from the academy, individuals, and research groups, then noticed that students’ learning abilities were rising and they were becoming increasingly attached to their [Adjudications].
• Yun Xiaoxiao reported that Alchemical Puppets had appeared again and suspected that the students’ [Adjudications] were Alchemical Puppets, then feared that she herself was an incarnation of one.

Su Luo investigated how the concept of [Wizard] was rewriting Joyce’s identity and the academy’s history, and considered how his earlier actions had shifted that process forward. He realized [Adrian]’s rule of [Cognitive Manifestation] might have kept him from noticing the academy’s transformation at all.

• Su Luo reviewed how the academy’s graduation requirements were growing stricter and how Joyce’s role had shifted toward [Alchemy].
• Yun Xiaoxiao recognized that the information about Joyce was changing toward the concept of [Wizard], and Su Luo explained that both present reality and past history were being overwritten.

• Su Luo compared the current worldline with one in which he had not intervened, concluding that killing the Alchemical Puppet early had advanced the academy’s conceptual overwriting by about two days.
• Su Luo realized that [Adrian]’s [Cognitive Manifestation] could have made him perceive even a fully transformed academy as normal unless he spoke with someone else.

Su Luo investigated how the Library's knowledge was being altered, avoided buying valuable materials, and studied a book on the hierarchy of divine beings. The chapter left him pondering why Audrey had asked how to advance when the dean had apparently already reached a level beyond Demigod.

• Su Luo watched the academy's changes, attended prerecorded classes, and gained 0.1 in all three Attributes.
• Su Luo read An Examination of Divine Hierarchies, which described ranks from Spirit-Favored through Dao Venerable, and found that the dean was believed to be above Demigod level.
• Su Luo wondered why Audrey had asked how to take the next step if the dean had already reached that level.

As the Wizard Path rewrote history and transformed Adrian Academy, Su Luo escaped with Yun Xiaoxiao, Xiao Xiao Luo, and an Epic item. Outside the world, Audrey and the academy’s vice presidents watched the academy awaken as an Alchemical Puppet and claim the Truth Ring, changing the Demigods across the World Cluster.

• Su Luo found that the book on his desk and the academy’s history had been rewritten to make every supernatural discipline part of the Wizard Path toward Truth.
• Yun Xiaoxiao warned Su Luo to run, but he stayed in the library and watched her for signs of change while studying in the Dream Library.

• Audrey and the vice presidents watched the Truth Ring form as Adrian Academy revealed its true form as an Alchemical Puppet and seized the ring.
• A voice mocked the idea of getting stronger the honest way as the Demigods across the World Cluster began to change.

After Adrian Dean erased the history of Wizards and Adrian Academy returned to normal, Audrey discussed the Survivor and Scholar with a Nonexistent One. Su Luo completed the Adrian Academy Dungeon, received four titles, and saw his Talent evolve as he awaited his class advancement choices.

• Adrian Dean fought the Alchemical Puppet, crushed the Truth Ring, and used Cognitive Manifestation to erase the history of Wizards and his own existence.
• A vice dean dismissed everyone, and Audrey returned to the Library, where she spoke with a Nonexistent One about the Survivor and Scholar.
• Audrey reasoned that the Survival World’s harsh conditions and power would threaten her, while the Nonexistent One said a little fellow had already given Scholar something.
• Su Luo received the titles Seeker of the Way IV, Beyond History, Chessside Guest, and Erudite Scholar, then replaced Spellcaster with Erudite Scholar.
• Su Luo’s Learning Gains Talent evolved to guarantee minimum learning gains and greatly increase his concentration and research speed.
