Chapter Summaries

Chen Mu observed the Azure Wave World's Fate Space missions and learned that Deep Blue had received a mission to destroy the Wizard World. He agreed to accompany Deep Blue in fifteen hundred years, while considering what the mission implied about the reality of worlds in his Reincarnation Simulations.

• Chen Mu absorbed Fate Power in the Fate Space and watched several World Masters resist it, suspecting they wanted to escape their entanglement with the Azure Wave World.
• The Azure Wave World's world consciousness issued missions, but none of the Mysterious Symbols went to Chen Mu or the other two recently born World Masters.
• Deep Blue told Chen Mu that he had received a mission to destroy the Wizard World, a target he had never heard of.
• Chen Mu wondered whether the Wizard World in the simulation differed from the real Wizard World and considered testing that theory in a future simulation.
• Chen Mu agreed to accompany Deep Blue to the Wizard World, and Deep Blue set their departure for fifteen hundred years later.

Chen Mu accompanied Deep Blue World Master to the Wizard World on a mission to destroy it, but they discovered it held power beyond an ordinary world's limits. Deep Blue World Master suspected a mighty being had escaped the world's fate, and he went to probe the world while Chen Mu remained in the void.

• Chen Mu met Deep Blue World Master in Azure Wave World's Fate Space and followed him through a World Gate to the Wizard World's Outer Void.
• Deep Blue World Master examined the Wizard World and found its power resembled that of a stronger world, with the aura of an extraterrestrial visitor.
• Deep Blue World Master warned Chen Mu that a being beyond the world's limits might exist and that the mission exceeded what he could accomplish alone.
• Chen Mu realized the being was likely Man Su Er, the Wizard World's Level 8 Wizard, and considered whether the world's limit was Level 7.
• Deep Blue World Master said the being might have escaped the world's fate or the world might be undergoing an imperceptible transformation.
• Chen Mu and Deep Blue World Master discussed Fate Power, then Deep Blue World Master vanished to investigate the Wizard World while Chen Mu stayed in the void.

In the Outer Void, Chen Mu learned that the Wizard World had produced an existence beyond its limits, making the Deep Blue World Master's mission impossible to complete alone. The mission could not be abandoned, but the Deep Blue World Master explained how World Masters with their own missions joined forces, then used Fate Power on the Mysterious Symbol.

• The Deep Blue World Master returned from probing the Wizard World and told Chen Mu that an existence there had surpassed the world's limits.
• Chen Mu learned that missions from the Azure Wave World's consciousness could not be abandoned and that failure meant losing World Master status.
• The Deep Blue World Master revealed that hundreds of thousands of missions had been completed without a single failure, and Chen Mu guessed that World Masters helped one another.
• The Deep Blue World Master explained that World Masters carrying Mission Talismans joined forces to complete difficult missions.
• The Deep Blue World Master summoned the Mysterious Symbol and poured Fate Power into it.

Chen Mu waited with the Deep Blue World Master outside the Wizard World for other Azure Wave World Masters to arrive and learned that they had gathered to destroy the Wizard World. Their discussion of a mysterious Transcendent Method caught Chen Mu’s attention, and the chapter ended as the World Masters began weaving a net around the Wizard World.

• The Deep Blue World Master sent a message to summon other World Masters, and he told Chen Mu they would likely take several years to arrive.
• After five years, twenty-three World Masters appeared and gathered with the Deep Blue World Master in the Wizard World's Outer Void.
• The Deep Blue World Master shared the mission to destroy the Wizard World, and the World Masters discussed the last such mission and the outsider who might have transcended the Wizard World's limits.
• Moving Mountain raised the possibility of finding a Transcendent Method, and another World Master suggested asking the Zero World Master for one, prompting Chen Mu to suspect it could help him break free from Fate Power.
• The Deep Blue World Master called on the World Masters to weave a net around the Wizard World, and they sent their Mysterious Symbols in every direction to interlock around it.

Chen Mu watched Azure Wave World's World Masters probe the Wizard World, whose mysterious defenses repeatedly destroyed their Fate Power net. The World Masters suspected the Wizard World's World Consciousness was interfering, and Deep Blue World Master decided to begin the invasion directly.

• The World Masters' Fate Power net darkened the Wizard World's sky, but a sudden tear expanded until the net collapsed and the world returned to normal.
• After five years of restoring their Fate Power, Deep Blue World Master led the group in weaving a stronger net, which was torn open again without warning.
• One World Master concluded that the Wizard World's World Consciousness instinct was affecting the net, while another questioned why it had not targeted the Extraterrestrial visitor first.
• Chen Mu recognized that the Wizard World's World Consciousness Incarnation was behind the interference but kept his knowledge to himself.
• Deep Blue World Master proposed that they stop probing and begin their mission directly.

The Azure Wave World Masters launched a massive Fate Power assault that devastated the Wizard World, but Man Su Er intervened as a transcendent and broke their attack. The World Masters realized the Wizard World had prepared for the invasion, and Deep Blue World Master began considering their next move.

• Deep Blue World Master and the other World Masters formed a Fate Power ring around the Wizard World and unleashed a Thunder Strike that began reducing its outer continents to dust.
• The World Masters believed the Wizard World's world consciousness had stopped interfering, while Chen Mu waited for Man Su Er to act.
• Man Su Er struck the Fate Ring with Spiritual Power, cracking it and halting the destructive wave.
• Man Su Er's Spiritual Power eroded the Fate Ring until the World Masters lost control of it, ending the attack.
• Deep Blue World Master recognized that the Wizard World had anticipated the invasion, and the World Masters discussed their losses and the danger posed by its transcendent.

Deep Blue World Master returned with two Fourth-Ring True Spirits, who discovered that the Wizard World had been undergoing a World Level Transition for two hundred years. Realizing the hidden process could threaten their mission, the World Masters and True Spirits prepared to interrupt it.

• Deep Blue World Master left to recruit True Spirits while the other World Masters waited outside the Wizard World for two hundred years.
• Deep Blue World Master returned with two identical young men whom Chen Mu recognized as True Spirits.
• The two True Spirits connected themselves to the Wizard World and began to inspect it, prompting the Wizard World's World Consciousness to unleash World Power.
• One of the True Spirits revealed that the Wizard World was undergoing a World Level Transition that had begun two hundred years earlier.
• Deep Blue World Master ordered everyone to interrupt the transition, and the World Masters summoned their Mysterious Symbols as the True Spirits resumed their vision.

After the Wizard World was destroyed, Chen Mu learned from the Deep Blue World Master about the Three Great Domains, outsiders, and the rarity of Transcendents. The Deep Blue World Master explained that the Azure Wave World had produced seven Transcendents, including Zero, before he and Chen Mu departed through a mission door.

• Chen Mu learned that Man Su Er had escaped the Wizard World's destruction and had not died.
• The Deep Blue World Master explained that the World Sea, God Domain, and Abyss were the cosmos's three greatest domains, and that the Wizard World's Transcendent likely came from the Abyss.
• The Deep Blue World Master told Chen Mu that World Sea natives had to become Transcendents to travel to other domains, while Chen Mu realized his Reincarnation Simulation could reach worlds beyond the World Sea.
• The Deep Blue World Master said becoming a Transcendent required severing one's fate from one's original world, then revealed that the Azure Wave World had seven Transcendents, including Zero.
• The Deep Blue World Master summoned a Mission Talisman and entered an illusory door, and Chen Mu followed him.

After a thousand years spent visiting other minor worlds and learning about the World Sea, Chen Mu returned to Azure Wave World's Fate Space for another gathering. There, he realized the lone World Master untouched by Fate Power was a transcendent who had severed his fate from Azure Wave World.

• Chen Mu spent more than three hundred years in White Crow World pondering how to become a transcendent and protect himself and his family if he failed.
• Chen Mu visited Moving Mountain World Master and, over the following thousand years, met other World Masters and learned more about Azure Wave World and the World Sea.
• Chen Mu entered Azure Wave World's Fate Space and noticed that several new World Masters had appeared, prompting him to wonder why so few World Masters existed relative to the world's age and number of minor worlds.
• Azure Wave World's world consciousness manifested as a diamond-shaped crystal and sent Fate Power threads around the gathered World Masters, which Chen Mu accepted.
• Chen Mu noticed that one World Master alone remained untouched by the threads and realized that the World Master was a transcendent who had severed his fate from Azure Wave World.

Chen Mu met Zero World Master, who explained that Chen Mu’s incomplete body left him with at most two thousand years to live and prevented him from becoming a Transcendent. Chen Mu accepted Zero World Master’s offer to experience transcendence firsthand, learned how stripping away Fate Power felt, and was crushed by its oppressive force before the process could continue.

• Chen Mu questioned Zero World Master about transcendence and learned there was no universal Transcendent Method.
• Zero World Master revealed that Chen Mu’s incomplete consciousness and body prevented him from becoming a true World Master and left him with no more than two thousand years to live.
• Zero World Master explained that Moving Mountain World Master was the only Azure Wave World Master with a chance of transcending, though he needed to find his own path.
• Chen Mu agreed to experience Zero World Master’s Transcendent Method despite being warned that doing so would eliminate his own chance of transcending.
• Zero World Master sent Chen Mu into an experience of the first step of transcendence, where Fate Power crushed his borrowed body.
• Zero World Master explained that a Transcendent had to endure an entire world’s Fate Power from the moment it was stripped away until transcendence was complete.

With his remaining time in Azure Wave World dwindling, Chen Mu spent the final centuries exchanging information with other World Masters. His lifespan then reached its limit, and he vanished as Zero World Master watched, unable to see the white light that left his body.

• Chen Mu returned to White Crow World's World Master Space and decided to use his remaining two thousand years to speak with more World Masters.
• Over the next eighteen hundred years, Chen Mu exchanged information with a young World Master, telling him about lifespan limits and the rarity of transcendence.
• After another hundred years, Chen Mu sensed his lifespan ending and felt the Fate Power within him flow back into Azure Wave World.
• Chen Mu's body dissipated into motes of light, and an unseen white beam crossed out of Azure Wave World.
• Zero World Master appeared in the collapsing World Master Space and tried to follow what had happened, but saw nothing.

After retaining the World Master identity from the Reincarnation Simulation, Chen Mu used a Text Simulation to test its power and learned that the Wizard World's World Consciousness would detect him using it. He advanced to inscribing his eighth Four-Ring Wizardry spell in a True Body Simulation, which ended as the Wizard World was illuminated by white light and Chen Mu began to vanish.

• Chen Mu retained the World Master identity, then realized he could not safely use its power in the Wizard World.
• Chen Mu used a Text Simulation to test the World Master power and discovered the Wizard World's World Consciousness immediately detected it.
• Chen Mu retained the Text Simulation's realm and memories, bringing him closer to inscribing his eighth Four-Ring Wizardry spell.
• Chen Mu began a True Body Simulation and, after eight hundred years, became able to inscribe his eighth spell.
• Chen Mu spent nine hundred more years cultivating before white light appeared over the Wizard World and his body began to vanish.

Chen Mu suspected that the Wizard World's World Consciousness Incarnation had schemed to transcend by replacing Man Su Er, rather than to advance the world's rank. After resuming cultivation, he met Bain, who returned safely from the contest over a supposed Unowned Rule and confirmed that it had never existed.

• Chen Mu reconsidered the World Consciousness Incarnation's plans and suspected it had become Man Su Er to escape the Wizard World and transcend.
• Chen Mu reasoned that the Vigil Meditation Method's connection to both the World Consciousness Incarnation and Man Su Er supported his conjecture, though he could not yet verify it.
• Chen Mu resumed cultivating the Vigil Meditation Method, then checked a message in the Book of Truth and left his Wizard Tower.
• Chen Mu met Bain and asked whether he had completed his mission.
• Bain said the contest over the Unowned Rule had been a misunderstanding, more than a dozen Fourth-Level Wizards had died for nothing, and no one had found a rule.

Chen Mu spoke with Bain, then spent two years cultivating and using Text Simulations to strengthen his Spiritual Power. After beginning a Reincarnation Simulation, Chen Mu's consciousness entered the Reincarnation Space.

• Chen Mu asked Bain about the Wizards remaining in the Void Battlefield and learned that they could not accept the truth about the supposed Unowned Rule.
• Bain realized Chen Mu's Spiritual Power had surpassed his, and Chen Mu attributed his rapid progress to the White Wizard Meditation Method.
• Chen Mu returned to his Wizard Tower, cultivated for a year, and used a Text Simulation, choosing to Retain Realm and three segments of memory.
• Chen Mu cultivated for another year, completed another Text Simulation, and chose to Retain Realm and retain three more segments of memory.
• Chen Mu began a Reincarnation Simulation and entered the Reincarnation Space.

Chen Mu reincarnated into the Crimson Great World, one of the Abyss Domain’s Twelve Great Worlds, and awakened as a newly born Little Demon in the Crimson Demon Mother River. After receiving inherited memories that explained the Abyss’s worlds and races, he began adapting to his unfamiliar body and limited thought.

• Chen Mu chose to reincarnate into a world in the Abyss Domain rather than risk another simulation in the God Domain.
• His consciousness entered a Great World in the Abyss, where he awakened in a nonhuman body and found it difficult to think normally.
• Chen Mu received Inheritance Memory and learned that his world was the Crimson Great World, also called the Crimson Demon Great World.
• He learned that the Abyss Domain held 156 worlds divided among twelve Great Worlds, thirty-six Middle Worlds, and 108 Small Worlds, each representing an Abyss Race.
• Chen Mu realized he was a newly born Little Demon in the Crimson Demon Mother River and identified the enormous figure in his memories as the Level 9 Demon Great Lord.
• Chen Mu began controlling his demon body and found that doing so felt much easier than thinking.

Chen Mu reincarnated as a newborn demon in the Crimson Great World’s Demon Mother River and tried to understand demon levels and his incomplete Inheritance Memory. After drifting for what may have been thousands of years without encountering another demon or gaining new memories, he remained unable to explain the river’s strange emptiness.

• Chen Mu adapted to his newborn demon body and learned from his Inheritance Memory that demons were ranked from Level 1 to Level 9, but he found no explanation of how they grew stronger.
• Chen Mu wondered whether his memories would arrive in stages, as True Spirits’ inherited memories did, and decided to wait while exploring the Demon Mother River.
• Chen Mu emptied his mind and drifted through the river, where the Abyss’s lack of time left him unable to tell how long he had been there.
• After what may have been thousands of years, Chen Mu still had not encountered another demon or received new Inheritance Memory.
• Chen Mu considered whether the Demon Mother River was unimaginably vast or whether he had remained near his birthplace, and feared his understanding might stay limited until the Simulation End.

Chen Mu drifted through the Demon Mother River in the Crimson Great World, unable to learn how demons grew or whether others surrounded him. When he finally sensed a faint flow of energy entering his body, it led him to question whether his inability to perceive other demons meant they were absent.

• Chen Mu continued drifting through the Demon Mother River and wondered how he could learn about the Crimson Great World or strengthen his demon body.
• Chen Mu reasoned that other demons must be able to grow normally, and he waited for some change rather than giving up on the simulation.
• After a long time, Chen Mu sensed a faint stream of energy entering his body and felt a subtle comfort, though he detected no lasting physical change.
• Chen Mu realized that not sensing other demons did not prove they were absent, since he did not know what their presence would feel like.
• Chen Mu speculated that demons might surround him beyond his perception and that the energy he sensed could have come from a High-level Demon or another being.

After drifting in the Demon Mother River for an estimated ten thousand years without growing stronger or finding a way out, Chen Mu continued waiting for a chance to change his situation. The Simulator then warned that an unknown force was trying to pull his consciousness and blocked it before it could affect his memories, leading Chen Mu to suspect an outsider from beyond the realm.

• Chen Mu reflected that he had sensed no further energy like the stream that once merged into his Demon Body.
• Chen Mu estimated that over ten thousand years had passed since his reincarnation, yet he remained trapped in the Demon Mother River with no way to strengthen himself.
• Chen Mu resolved to keep waiting rather than end the Reincarnation Simulation, hoping a variable would eventually appear.
• The Simulator warned Chen Mu that his consciousness was being forcibly pulled and that the pull might affect his memories.
• The Simulator blocked the consciousness pull, and Chen Mu suspected that an outsider from beyond the realm had caused it.

Chen Mu wondered whether the Simulator’s intervention during his consciousness being pulled would prevent him from advancing in the Abyss Domain, but he could not verify his theory and chose to wait. As he drifted through the Demon Mother River, an inheritance memory began to emerge, giving him the true variable he had been waiting for.

• Chen Mu examined his Demon Body and confirmed that the Simulator had blocked any changes when his consciousness was forcibly pulled.
• Chen Mu considered whether that pulling was necessary for demons to advance and whether the Simulator’s intervention would limit his Abyss Domain simulations.
• Chen Mu recalled what he had learned from the Zero World Master about visitors from the Abyss Domain and decided his theory remained uncertain.
• Chen Mu chose to keep waiting in the Crimson Great World rather than end the simulation, hoping to learn what had happened.
• Chen Mu’s Demon Body trembled as a familiar sensation arose in his consciousness, signaling that his Inheritance Memory was about to emerge.

Chen Mu received new Inheritance Memory explaining that demons grew stronger with time rather than cultivation, and that he was still an infant demon whose perception had not fully developed. He waited in the Demon Mother River, and his perception eventually changed again.

• Chen Mu digested new Inheritance Memory that described how demons naturally grew stronger as they matured in the Demon Mother River.
• Chen Mu concluded that the incomplete memories were a sign that more inheritance might arrive as his Demon Body transformed.
• Chen Mu chose to remain in the Demon Mother River and trust the inherited memories over his perception that his body had not changed.
• Chen Mu theorized that his infant demon body limited his perception, explaining why he could not sense other demons or subtle changes.
• After waiting as time passed slowly in the Abyss, Chen Mu's perception of his surroundings changed again.
