Chapter Summaries

Chen Mu arrived on the Mu Duomu Plane to find Mu Zi Red Crystal for a Sea of Vigil mission, but a Tree King attacked him after mistaking him for a member of the Black Lizard Scholars Society.

• Chen Mu explored the forest with Small Teleportation Spell, searching for a red crystal Mining Area so he could complete his mission quickly.

• A Level 3 Wizard ambushed Chen Mu and struck him, but Bain appeared, stopped the attack, and captured the hooked-nose middle-aged man.

Chen Mu transformed the Great Void Realm by founding Star-Picking Academy and creating the Star-Picking Art, ending the Era of Dharma Decline and renaming the world the Star-Picking Realm. After his life there ended, the Reincarnation Simulation concluded, and he chose to retain and adapt his Level 2 Star-Picking Master status.

• Chen Mu took control of Jin Sect Academy, expanded it into Star-Picking Academy, and organized scholars across Changchun Kingdom to compile the Warlock Handbook.
• After the handbook proved inadequate, Chen Mu introduced his Vigil Meditation Method, and its fusion with the Star Gazing Art ended the Era of Dharma Decline and gave rise to the Star-Picking Masters.

• The Reincarnation Simulation ended, and Chen Mu accepted the Simulator's offer to retain and adapt his Level 2 Star-Picking Master status.

Chen Mu discovered that his Reincarnation Simulation had brought the Star-Picking Master realm into his Spiritual Sea, though he could not cultivate that path from scratch in the Wizard World. After Ying Mu warned him to abandon his mission and leave the Sisskarlin Continent, Chen Mu escaped an attack that destroyed his manor and reconsidered how much he trusted the Simulator.

After a Text Simulation showed Chen Mu dying in a Blood Sea World assault nearly three hundred years earlier than expected, he retained his realm and learned that the World-Level Wizard Organization Exchange Meeting had been moved up. Bain brought Chen Mu to the Ninth Fissure with Pei Na Lin and Shari Er, where the meeting was about to begin.

• Chen Mu retained his realm after the Text Simulation and concluded that the Wizard World’s future had changed, with the Blood Sea World’s invasion arriving nearly three hundred years early.
• Bain told Chen Mu that the Exchange Meeting would take place in one month at the Ninth Fissure and might offer a chance to address his Bloodline Limit using pure-blooded White Ravens.

• Bain took Chen Mu to meet Pei Na Lin and Shari Er, who were also attending the Exchange Meeting.
• Pei Na Lin and Shari Er transported Chen Mu to the Ninth Fissure and told him to stay with them.

Chen Mu attended the World-Level Wizard Organization Exchange Meeting and sought pureblood White Raven blood to raise his Bloodline Wizard limit. Wei Duo Li gave him a small amount, and Pei Na Lin warned that the blood was insufficient to break through before Shari Er and Pei Na Lin took Chen Mu back to the Sea of Vigil.

• Chen Mu explored the Ouroboros Ring tower and learned from Tu Le that Wei Duo Li had exchanged for the pureblood White Ravens.
• Chen Mu spent the rest of the meeting searching other organizations for White Raven blood, but none had any.
• Pei Na Lin accompanied Chen Mu to meet Wei Duo Li, who said she had used the pureblood White Raven blood but gave him the blood she had left.

• Pei Na Lin gave Chen Mu the blood and offered to provide culture vessels, while Chen Mu planned to use small amounts in simulations.
• Shari Er warned Chen Mu not to leave the Sea of Vigil because the Wizard World would soon be unsettled, then took him away with Pei Na Lin.

After the Blood Sea World launched a probe into the Vigil Four Seas, Chen Mu watched Lord Bordeaux swiftly capture its Level 5 Blood Descendant leader. Bordeaux then summoned Chen Mu and claimed that the Vigil Meditation Method was one Chen Mu himself had created, leaving him with a mysterious ball of light as a gift.

• Chen Mu used Retain Realm after a Text Simulation and discovered that his Bloodline Limit had loosened, allowing him to continue progressing as a Bloodline Wizard.
• A Level 5 Blood Descendant led an invasion of the Pure White Sea, where thousands of Blood Descendants dissolved themselves to create a blood-red vortex and he unleashed an Essence Blood Pearl.
• Bain brought Chen Mu into Lord Bordeaux's consciousness spaces, where they watched Bordeaux draw the Level 5 Blood Descendant into his River of Rules and capture him.
• Lord Bordeaux summoned Chen Mu and asked about the Vigil Meditation Method; after Chen Mu identified it as a method created by Lord Si Ta Tu, Bordeaux said Chen Mu had created it himself.
• Bordeaux gave Chen Mu a pure white ball of light, which entered Chen Mu's Spiritual Sea.

After Lord Bordeaux met Chen Mu, Bain warned him to avoid missions and offered him a chance to assist with experiments, while Chen Mu spent months studying and advancing his White Wizard cultivation. Near the Level 3 threshold, Chen Mu began a Reincarnation Simulation before using his remaining True Body Simulation.

• Chen Mu discovered that Lord Bordeaux had given him a Substitute Magic Puppet that could save his life once, and Bain warned him about the Blood Sea World and told him to avoid missions.

Chen Mu searched for the hidden Martial Artist path, trained under Kang Shou Zheng, and rose to become a powerful Martial Artist and captain in the Fourth Bureau. He discovered that the path cultivated Spiritual Power and physique together, though this world’s restrictions prevented him from using wizard methods, and he suspected the bureau was already deeply corrupt.

• Chen Mu defeated He Shun in a single punch, then persuaded him to arrange a meeting with his teacher, Kang Shou Zheng.
• Kang Shou Zheng tested Chen Mu’s punching speed and criticized his lack of spirit and intent; Chen Mu began training under him and joined the Fourth Bureau.
• After three years, Chen Mu realized Martial Artists cultivated both Spiritual Power and physique, making their path exceptionally promising despite this world’s restrictions.
• Five years later, Chen Mu became a true Martial Artist, and Kang Shou Zheng promoted him to captain of the Fourth Bureau’s Sixth Team before transferring to the First Bureau.
• Kang Shou Zheng offered to help Chen Mu meet his biological parents, but Chen Mu refused and suspected his teacher’s departure concealed a struggle within the corrupt bureau.

Chen Mu rose to director of the Fourth Bureau while secretly building an intelligence network and pursuing the Martial Artist path. After killing Feng Dong Lin, he persuaded Kang Shou Zheng to unite the Federal Ninth Bureau and remake society around martial arts to prepare for an approaching invasion from other worlds.

• Chen Mu learned that the General Bureau planned to place gunmen in the Fourth Bureau, then used the dead Yue Zheng's identity to make covert arrangements.
• Over the next five years, Chen Mu rose to director of the Fourth Bureau, trained the Black Raven Team, and concluded that the Martial Artist path had untapped potential despite reaching its modern limit.
• Four years later, Chen Mu rejected a transfer to the First Bureau as a division captain and learned that his agents had infiltrated all nine bureaus.
• Chen Mu ordered the Black Raven Team to gather intelligence on a large scale, then killed Feng Dong Lin, who had tried to bargain for his life.
• Chen Mu told Kang Shou Zheng that other worlds were invading and proposed unifying the Federal Ninth Bureau, establishing the Martial Way, and teaching martial arts throughout the Federation.

Chen Mu oversaw the Federation’s preparations for the Otherworld invasion, balancing the need to strengthen the Martial Way against the risks of rushing into battle. When the invasion began, he ordered the Federation to hold its ground despite heavy casualties and activated the next phase of the plan.

• Chen Mu ordered three newly appeared Subspaces opened to push the Federation into taking the threat seriously, and over the next two years the Martial Way spread through schools and society.
• Wang Yueyang urged Chen Mu to prepare for a rapidly worsening Subspace crisis, while Chen Mu insisted on delaying a major plan until more Martial Way students had graduated; Song Chen reported that Seventh Grade was the current limit and that research had stalled.
• Five years later, Chen Mu announced that the end of the world had arrived, and Subspaces opened across the Federation as bat-like creatures poured into Hai City.
• Chen Mu directed the Federal Strategic Bureau to evacuate civilians and seal the Subspaces; A2 Subspace was cleared at the cost of 371 lives, including Councilor Lin Xiong.
• Chen Mu ordered the Federal Research Institute to accelerate its Grade Eight Martial Arts Manual research, supplied his blood and Subspace creature corpses, and then told Wang Yueyang to activate the next phase of the plan.

Four years after the first intelligent Disguiser appeared, Chen Mu practiced the incomplete Grade Eight Martial Arts Manual and became the Federation’s first grandmaster. As Martial Way education spread, a new large-scale invasion began, leaving Chen Mu to issue a Federal Level One Red Combat Alert.

• Wang Yueyang ordered the second-stage plan as Federation forces fought a Subspace incursion at the Triangle Building.
• Chen Mu sent Song Chen to oversee research into a Grade Eight Martial Arts Manual and personally investigated an intelligent Disguiser in Luo City.
• Four years later, Chen Mu rejected waiting for a perfected manual and decided to practice the incomplete version himself.
• Chen Mu became an Eighth Grade Martial Artist and grandmaster, then shared his cultivation insights with the Research Institute.
• Over the following years, Martial Arts Academies spread across the Federation, and Chen Mu ordered a Level One Red Combat Alert as signs of another invasion appeared.

Chen Mu spent decades helping the Federation resist the Otherworld, expand martial arts training, and clear every Subspace, while the Federation struggled to develop a Grade Nine Martial Path Record. At the chapter’s end, Li Zong presented Chen Mu with a completed record that incorporated Chen Mu’s Meditation Method and could let him reach the Martial Saint realm before the Otherworld’s final offensive.

• A middle-aged Chen Mu destroyed a large Subspace with a punch, then learned that 546 Subspaces remained and ordered Bai Jiang to abandon the infiltration plan.
• Over the next twelve years, the Federation reached a stalemate with the Otherworld, rolled out the Hope Elixir, and trained martial artists across the population until it gained the upper hand.
• Wang ZhengYang told Chen Mu that the renewed Subspace infiltration plan had made no progress and warned him that entering a Subspace risked collapse.
• Thirty years later, the Federation had cleared all Subspaces, and martial arts had become central to its society.
• Li Zong gave Chen Mu the fourth version of the Grade Nine Martial Path Record, which incorporated the essence of Chen Mu’s Vigil Meditation Method and could lead to the Martial Saint realm.

Chen Mu became a Martial Saint, helped the Federation prepare for the Otherworld’s invasion, and entered a collapsing Subspace to attack the source sending creatures into their world. He destroyed the illusory diamond-shaped cube with a final punch, apparently giving his life to repay the world that had made him strong.

• Chen Mu became a Martial Saint and learned from Li Zong that passages remained open for several seconds after Subspaces collapsed, but he set aside plans to infiltrate the Otherworld and prioritized developing stronger Martial Artists.
• Over the following decades, Chen Mu ordered a crackdown on corrupt officials and Martial Artists, while the Federation developed and enjoyed fifty years of peace before a new Subspace signaled the coming invasion.
• Chen Mu and Wang ZhengYang argued over Chen Mu’s backup plan to enter the Otherworld, with Wang ZhengYang insisting that he should risk his life instead.
• When tens of thousands of Subspaces appeared across the Federation, Wang ZhengYang commanded the defense as Chen Mu entered a collapsing Subspace and crossed into the Otherworld.
• Chen Mu fought through countless creatures, found the illusory diamond-shaped cube sending them into the Federation, and destroyed it with a final punch that consumed his life.

After Chen Mu sacrificed himself to end the invasion, he returned from the Reincarnation Simulation with Level 3 Martial Artist strength and became a Third-Level White Wizard through a True Body Simulation. The Simulator upgraded, and Bain took Chen Mu to upgrade his Book of Truth before asking him to wait while he prepared for a Truth Mission.

• In the future, Wang ZhengYang reached Level 7, searched the river of time for Chen Mu, and heard Chen Mu call his name from behind.
• Chen Mu returned to the Library of Sea Hearing Pavilion, retained and adapted his Level 3 Martial Artist realm, and used a True Body Simulation to become a Third-Level White Wizard.
• After Chen Mu reached Level 3, the Wizard Life Simulator upgraded to version 5.0, allowing him to choose reincarnation worlds and retain three memory segments from Text Simulations.
• Bain arrived, discovered Chen Mu was a Third-Level White Wizard, and took him to the Tree of Truth to upgrade his Book of Truth.
• Bain told Chen Mu that all areas of the Sea of Vigil were now open to him and asked him to avoid the Mission Space for a month while Bain prepared for his Truth Mission.

After becoming a Level 3 Wizard, Chen Mu revisited the Carson Secondary Continent, severed his ties to the Mind Academy, and reunited with his family before defeating a Black Lizard Scholars Society wizard. He then visited Ol to test the Totem Pillar, but found that its time distortion had not increased his Text Simulation Times, leaving the Simulator’s timekeeping unexplained.

• Chen Mu accepted Disposable Magic Artifacts from Bain, took the unchanged Truth Mission, and used the Eye of Destiny to reveal and sever his ties to the Mind Academy’s altar.
• Chen Mu visited Arthur and Nikola in the Winter Kingdom, gave Arthur valuable items, and stayed on the Carson Secondary Continent for half a month.
• Chen Mu pursued the Black-Robed Man into the Void, repeatedly struck him while plucking away his fortune, and watched Void Turbulence and the Wind of Erosion destroy him before taking his Space Magic Item.
• Chen Mu met Ol on the Lilith Continent and asked to experience the Totem Pillar’s effects.
• After cultivating inside the Totem Pillar for three days while three months passed in the Wizard World, Chen Mu found that he had gained no Text Simulation Times and wondered why the Simulator had not counted the elapsed time.
