Chapter Summaries

After a short Reincarnation Simulation revealed that Blue Star had Transcendents, Chen Mu completed a five-hundred-year True Body Simulation and learned he needed a Stone of Destiny to become a Level 4 White Wizard. He left his family, killed a pursuing Fourth-Level Wizard from the Black Lizard Scholars Society, and returned to the Sea of Vigil to seek the treasure.

• Chen Mu rejected Memory Protection after the Reincarnation Simulation and considered returning to the Blue Star-like world in a future simulation.
• Chen Mu began a True Body Simulation, returned to the Sea of Vigil, and spent five hundred years pursuing cultivation without becoming a Level 4 White Wizard.
• Chen Mu learned that White Wizards needed a Stone of Destiny to safely break through, and resolved to obtain one using information gathered in the simulation.
• Chen Mu gave Arthur a page that would summon him if the family faced danger, then left the Golden Lion Kingdom to avoid implicating his family.
• Chen Mu confronted a Fourth-Level Wizard of the Black Lizard Scholars Society in the void and repeatedly destroyed him with Cloud Sea Silk while using the Star-Picking Art.
• Chen Mu put away the Book of Truth and traveled to the Sea of Vigil.

Chen Mu used Text Simulation to locate a Stone of Destiny on the Rose Plane, then discovered it belonged to a Level 5 Wizard of the Evangelical Lord Society and was not yet mature. He avoided taking it in reality and learned that his simulated self had died trying to use it, leaving him closer to understanding how to become a Level 4 White Wizard safely.

• Chen Mu asked Tang Pu about a Stone of Destiny and learned only that one had once appeared on the Duo Yin Plane.
• Chen Mu's Text Simulation revealed traces of a Stone of Destiny on the Rose Plane, so he retained memories from the simulation and traveled there.
• Chen Mu found the Stone of Destiny connected to the Rose Plane's earth veins and left it untouched because it was immature and had an unknown owner.
• In a later Text Simulation, Chen Mu tried to use the Stone of Destiny before it was mature and failed to become a Level 4 White Wizard.
• Chen Mu retained memories showing that the Stone's owner was a Level 5 Wizard of the Evangelical Lord Society, who killed his simulated self.

Chen Mu used Text Simulations to discover the right timing for fusing with the Stone of Destiny, then became a Level 4 White Wizard. As the Simulator began a longer upgrade, he used his remaining Reincarnation Simulation and found that the Reincarnation Space contained newly appeared worlds.

• Chen Mu failed two more simulated breakthroughs and began to suspect that his own limitations, not just the Stone of Destiny’s maturity, were hindering him.
• Chen Mu simulated waiting until age 53 to fuse with the Stone of Destiny and successfully became a Level 4 White Wizard at age 54.
• Chen Mu retained his realm and memories, becoming a genuine Level 4 Wizard and resolving to remain away from the Sea of Vigil for now.
• The Simulator announced a month-long upgrade and asked Chen Mu to use his remaining Reincarnation Simulation.
• Chen Mu entered the Reincarnation Space, noticed many new world-orbs including a frightening black one, and chose a pale purple orb for his next reincarnation.

After returning to a world resembling Blue Star, Chen Mu enrolled at Federation Third University and used his academic and business ventures to seek contact with its hidden Transcendents. Five years after founding a pharmaceutical company with Zheng Zong, Chen Mu left to meet someone while Zheng Zong wondered what his ambitious partner was really pursuing.

• Chen Mu found no record of his former life and decided to attend university to investigate the world's concealed Transcendents.
• After the college entrance examination, Chen Mu chose Federation Third University, spoke with Bai Cheng, and began his studies in Xinping City.
• Two years into university, Chen Mu refused Zheng Zong's job offer and asked him to connect him with the Federation's upper ranks so he could donate a new medicine.
• Chen Mu named the medicine the Hope Elixir, and Zheng Zong agreed to help manage and market it for a share of the business.
• Five years later, the Hope Elixir had made Chen Mu a wealthy tycoon and drawn assassinations and spies; Zheng Zong warned him about his dealings with the Federation.
• Chen Mu left to meet someone and entrusted the company to Zheng Zong, who questioned whether Chen Mu was truly uninterested in money.

Chen Mu used years of free medicine donations to earn the Federation’s trust and secured a meeting with Councilor Ai, who revealed that he was a Transcendent. Ai offered to arrange Chen Mu’s path into the Transcendents if he developed a drug for him, leaving Chen Mu to begin experiments with Federation assistance.

• Chen Mu gave Professor Huang Hope II, which Professor Huang confirmed contained two undetectable new materials, and Chen Mu agreed to donate the medicine to the Federation for free.
• Five years later, Zheng Zong questioned Chen Mu’s decision to let Federation pharmaceutical companies dominate the market, but Chen Mu declined to explain his plans.
• Professor Huang told Chen Mu that Councilor Ai had agreed to meet him, and Ai remarked that Chen Mu reminded him of another young genius named Chen.
• Chen Mu admitted that he was curious about transcendent power, and Ai confirmed that the Federation had Transcendents and that he was one himself.
• Ai offered to help Chen Mu become a Transcendent if Chen Mu developed a drug for him, and Chen Mu agreed to try.
• Chen Mu’s first test drug killed a white mouse after three hours, so he judged it too weak for a Transcendent, and Professor Huang said the Federation would send someone to help with human testing.

Chen Mu became a Transcendent and spent decades developing his Brain Domain while secretly investigating the Interstellar Colonization Council and the Muta Civilization. When the Council began probing him, Ailong learned that Chen Mu had uncovered major secrets and chose to stand with him.

• Chen Mu gave Ailong the Secret Medicine, and Ailong reserved a Transcendent slot for him after hearing about its minor side effects.
• Two years later, Chen Mu passed the four Transcendent trials on Bitter Sea Island, and Yang Ye took him back to Kyoto.
• Over the next ten years, Chen Mu developed his Brain Domain to eighteen percent and recognized how useful the path was to his work as a White Wizard.
• After receiving a message about a discovery, Chen Mu decided to risk pursuing a perfect clear rather than develop safely.
• Ten years later, Ailong warned Chen Mu that people had been secretly targeting him, and Chen Mu identified the Interstellar Colonization Council and the Muta Civilization as the cause.
• Chen Mu told Ailong he had uncovered more of their secrets than Ailong imagined, and Ailong asked to hear everything and chose to stand on Chen Mu's side.

Royce recruited Li En to target a boy in exchange for a seat on the Interstellar Colonization Council. On Blue Star, Chen Mu and Ailong exposed the Council’s connection to the Muta Civilization, triggering a public uproar that left the Federal Council deciding whether to confront the Council openly.

• Royce persuaded Li En to accept a deal involving a boy and a retiring Federal Councilor by offering him a seat on the Interstellar Colonization Council.
• Chen Mu told Professor Huang that Hope V was the limit of the Hope Elixir research and then warned Ailong that the Interstellar Colonization Council had resumed threatening him.
• Chen Mu urged Ailong to reveal the truth about the Muta Civilization and stir up public opinion, with Yang Ye helping keep the Council’s network response at bay.
• Two months later, the Federal Council’s official account spread news that Blue Star was being invaded by another civilization, and Royce ordered the Interstellar Colonization Council to suppress the story.
• The Federal Council chairman told Ailong that his actions had torn away the Council’s cover, but decided the Federal Council should not back down.

Yuan Zheng rejected Danny’s offer and demanded the Interstellar Colonization Council’s complete Mind Master cultivation method, deepening the conflict between the Council and the Federal Parliament. Five years later, Chen Mu proposed infiltrating the Council, and Yuan Zheng agreed to consider his plan to make their ruse seem real.

• Yuan Zheng refused Danny’s offer to relinquish five colonial planets and demanded the complete Mind Master cultivation method instead.
• Yuan Zheng ended his call with Danny and asked Ailong to tell him everything without holding back.
• Over the next five years, the Interstellar Colonization Council secretly attempted to assassinate Chen Mu dozens of times, but none of its agents survived on Blue Star.
• Chen Mu told Yuan Zheng he wanted to infiltrate the Interstellar Colonization Council to investigate the Mind Master path.
• Chen Mu explained how the Federal Parliament could help make his undercover role convincing, and Yuan Zheng agreed to give the plan a try.

After infiltrating the Interstellar Colonization Council, Chen Mu learned the complete Mind Master cultivation path and rose to become a Level 3 Mind Master. He left Sen Star after considering how his accumulated powers across worlds might eventually be combined.

• Chen Mu joined the Interstellar Colonization Council, shared genuine Federation secrets with Danny, and became a Provisional Member under observation.
• Within a year, Chen Mu advanced to Councilor and began cultivating the complete Mind Master path while living on Turing Star.
• The Council appointed Chen Mu to lead a new planetary colonization project, and he accepted despite preferring to focus on cultivation.
• Twenty years later, Chen Mu had spent more than three years on Sen Star and developed his Brain Domain past thirty percent, becoming a Level 3 Mind Master.
• Chen Mu demonstrated his growing ability to affect reality, listed the other Transcendent paths he had mastered, and left his residence in the forest.

After completing a four-hundred-year reincarnation in the Blue Star world, Chen Mu returned to the Wizard World with his Level 3 Mind Master path retained. The Simulator upgraded to version 6.0, extending simulation accumulation times while adding Rule Concealment and access to every reincarnation world, and Chen Mu left the forest to consider his next steps.

• Danny confronted Chen Mu over Lin Zhen’s accusation, and Chen Mu argued that Lin Zhen had been framed through altered or selectively erased memories.
• Five years later, Chen Mu returned to Blue Star and entered a building after decades away; three hundred years afterward, he sent a final document to the Federal Parliament and vanished as the simulation ended.
• The Simulator retained Chen Mu’s Level 3 Mind Master status and adapted it to the Wizard World, where Chen Mu reflected on his four centuries in Blue Star and the records he had sent.
• Chen Mu waited in the forest while the Simulator upgraded, then learned that simulation attempts would take twice as long to accumulate, future simulations would receive Rule Concealment, and all reincarnation worlds were now available.
• Chen Mu considered using Rule Concealment to reincarnate into the mysterious world represented by the Black Light Orb, then enveloped himself in Spiritual Power and vanished from the forest.

Chen Mu learned about the privileges and Spiritual Restraint that came with becoming a Fourth-Level Wizard, then used a Text Simulation to explore centuries of wizardry training and missions. He died when an Extraterrestrial Demon devoured the Blood Sea World at age seven hundred twenty-eight, retained key memories and spells, and reviewed his updated status.

• Bain explained that Chen Mu's Fourth-Level Wizard status unlocked new Sea of Vigil privileges, including access to owned planes and a personal structure connected to the large wizard formation.
• Bain told Chen Mu that Spiritual Restraint slowed every Fourth-Level Wizard's meditation and that advancing required external assistance; he urged Chen Mu to build his structure and learn at least two Four-Ring Wizardries before his first mandatory mission.
• Chen Mu began a Text Simulation in which he constructed Four-Ring Wizardry, completed a long mission in the Starry Sky World, and later accepted a mission in the Blood Sea World.
• Chen Mu escaped a Level 5 Bloodkin with a Substitute Magic Puppet, but died at age seven hundred twenty-eight when an Extraterrestrial Demon devoured the Blood Sea World.
• Chen Mu retained the memories from ages ninety-nine, five hundred twenty-one, and seven hundred twenty-eight, along with two spells, then checked his status panel and saw three Four-Ring Wizardries listed.

Chen Mu met his grandmaster, the Level 5 Wizard Lan Er, who explained that becoming a Level 5 Wizard required merging with a rule. Lan Er revealed that he possessed an unowned rule and could give it to Chen Mu.

• Chen Mu tested his Four-Ring Eye of Truth and discovered it could mark people or objects across the Wizard World and monitor their condition.
• Bain summoned Chen Mu, urged him to keep working on his Four-Ring Wizardry, and suggested he could train on the Wizard World's Void Battlefield.
• Chen Mu went to meet Lan Er alone using a coordinate sent through his Book of Truth.
• Lan Er explained that a Wizard could become Level 5 by reaching the limit of Spiritual Power and merging with a rule, and that each rule could support only one Level 5 Wizard.
• Lan Er told Chen Mu that he had an unowned rule and could give it to him.

Chen Mu refused Lan Er’s Unowned Rule because its Rule Space could reach only Level 5, choosing to seek a greater path himself. Back in the Wizard Tower, Bain was shocked and angry at his decision, then asked whether Chen Mu knew how few known rules had a ceiling of Level 5.

• Lan Er explained that Level 5 Wizards used an integrated rule to open a Rule Space, whose upper limit determined their potential to reach Level 6.
• Lan Er offered Chen Mu an Unowned Rule that could support a Rule Space capped at Level 5, but Chen Mu refused it and said he would find his own rule.
• Lan Er revealed that the rule had been prepared for Bain, who wanted Chen Mu to inherit it, and said Bain’s accident had left him unable to become a Level 5 Wizard.
• Lan Er sent Chen Mu back to the Wizard Tower, where Bain sensed that Chen Mu had not fused with the rule and smacked the back of his head in frustration.
• Chen Mu told Bain he believed his future would go beyond Level 5, and Bain asked how many known rules had a Level 5 ceiling.

Chen Mu learned that Lan Er’s rule had no ceiling but that becoming a Level 6 Wizard remained difficult, and then began a new Text Simulation focused on cultivating his Meditation Method. The simulation ended with the Sea of ​​Vigil conquering the Wizard World under Man Su Er, who had become a Level 8 Wizard, and Chen Mu retained memories of the shocking future.

• Bain told Chen Mu that most rules capped their users at Level 5, while Lan Er’s rule had no ceiling and his self-created Magic Item Wizard Path made advancing especially difficult.
• Bain admitted that the unowned rule had once belonged to him but declined to explain what had happened to it.
• Chen Mu cultivated his Meditation Method for half a year, then began a Text Simulation and chose to retain his realm afterward.
• In the simulation, Chen Mu completed missions across multiple worlds while cultivating, and the Sea of ​​Vigil’s leader Man Su Er became a Level 8 Wizard.
• The Sea of ​​Vigil took control of the Wizard World and invaded other worlds; Chen Mu died during a mission in the Starry Sky World.
• Chen Mu retained memories of Man Su Er’s rise and the invasion, then wondered why a Level 8 Wizard wanted control of the Wizard World.

Chen Mu warned Bain that his task at the Blood Sea World's Fourth Void Battlefield could be dangerous, prompting Bain to prepare more carefully. After completing another Text Simulation, Chen Mu began a new Reincarnation Simulation and again entered the mysterious world represented by the Black Light Orb.

• Chen Mu retained his realm and three memories, then used his newly accumulated Reincarnation Simulation chance to enter the Black Light Orb, but returned with no memories of the life he had lived there.
• Bain told Chen Mu he had accepted a task at the Blood Sea World's Fourth Void Battlefield and would be away for at least a hundred years.
• Chen Mu warned Bain that the interworld war could make the battlefield dangerous, and Bain agreed to prepare more carefully.
• Chen Mu stayed in the Sea of Vigil, completed another Text Simulation, and retained his realm and memories from ages five hundred twenty-two through five hundred twenty-four.
• Chen Mu began another Reincarnation Simulation and once again merged his consciousness with the Black Light Orb.

After reincarnating in the Saint Radiance Country, Chen Mu mistook its mindless inhabitants for game characters until he met Conner, who explained the God Countries and believers. Conner recognized Chen Mu as a potential recruit, and Chen Mu began asking how someone could become a True God.

• Chen Mu woke in Saint Radiance Church, where the priest dismissed him for lacking devotion and directed him to travel north with Da Vinci.
• Chen Mu rode in Da Vinci’s carriage and concluded that the people around him were preprogrammed NPCs because they would not communicate with him.
• Conner spoke to Chen Mu, questioned whether he was a Fire Thief, and identified him as someone with no God System.
• Conner explained that God Countries were independent domains, that First-Class Believers lacked thoughts, and that the priest was a Second-Class Believer.
• When Chen Mu asked how to become a True God, Conner said he first had to belong to no God System and possess the potential to become one.

Chen Mu agreed to meet the Saint Radiance God and, five years later, was recognized as a Reincarnator from another God System rather than an Incubator. After Chen Mu mentioned seeing the Eight Tentacles, the Saint Radiance God's divine sense warned that he had glimpsed an existence of such a high level that surviving the encounter was fortunate.

• Conner persuaded Chen Mu to leave Saint Radiance Country and meet the Saint Radiance God, and Chen Mu agreed rather than risk being taken by force.
• Five years later, the Saint Radiance God answered Conner's prayers, rewarded him with white light, and made him vanish from the special space.
• The Saint Radiance God's divine sense identified Chen Mu as a Reincarnator whose reincarnation had failed and explained that the Saint Radiance God System might only accept him if he offered valuable information or an item.
• Chen Mu withheld details, then said he had seen enormous black tentacles—the Eight Tentacles—in the Reincarnation Space.
• Chen Mu spat blood as the Saint Radiance God's divine sense reacted to his words, then apologized and said Chen Mu was lucky to have reincarnated after glimpsing an existence of that level.

Chen Mu faced Saint Radiance God’s attempt to trace his past-life memories and saw a vision of himself as the Flame Main God, which suggested he might have a future reincarnation in the God Realm. Saint Radiance God mistook Chen Mu for a pawn in the Flame Main God’s plans, while Chen Mu kept the misunderstanding to himself and learned what a Main God was.

• Saint Radiance God asked Chen Mu about his past life, and Chen Mu claimed he had forgotten everything except the Eight Tentacles.
• Saint Radiance God used a Memory Retrospection Orb, which turned black before glowing red and projecting a vision of Chen Mu surrounded by Erosion Power.
• Saint Radiance God identified the figure in the vision as the Flame Main God, one of the twelve rulers of the God Realm.
• The Chen Mu in the vision noticed the observers, nodded, and destroyed the Transparent Screen with a flash of flame.
• Saint Radiance God asked Chen Mu to explain his plan, but Chen Mu asked about the Flame Main God instead and let Saint Radiance God’s mistaken belief stand.

In Balance City, Chen Mu discovered that believers of the Flame Main God could not give him Faith Power because he was not currently that god, so he had Saint Radiance God cultivate believers for a new divine name: Wizard God. Two years later, Chen Mu absorbed Faith Power from a Wizard God believer, becoming a Transcendent comparable to a Level 1 Wizard Apprentice, while Saint Radiance God wondered what greater plan Chen Mu had.

• Saint Radiance God told Chen Mu that cultivating a Fanatic Believer would take at least a dozen years, and Chen Mu agreed to wait while they first tried cultivating a True Believer.
• After two years, Chen Mu failed to absorb Faith Power from the True Believer and realized the believer worshipped the Flame Main God, a divine position he did not yet possess.
• Chen Mu asked Saint Radiance God to cultivate a new True Believer who worshipped the Wizard God, then described the Wizard God's abilities to gain Saint Radiance God's continued support.
• Two years later, Chen Mu absorbed Faith Power from a Wizard God believer and became a Transcendent comparable to a Level 1 Wizard Apprentice.
• Saint Radiance God recognized that Chen Mu had succeeded but doubted he could become a True God without the Incubator's abilities.

Chen Mu absorbed Faith Power from Light Believers while considering his uncertain future and the possibility that he had once reincarnated as an Incubator. Saint Radiance God returned from the Divine Realm with news that the Life Goddess, a Chief God, wanted to meet Chen Mu and had prepared a Nature Seed to let him enter the God Realm.

• Chen Mu continued absorbing Faith Power from Light Believers despite Saint Radiance God's warning that relying on it could destabilize his realm.
• Over three years, Chen Mu remained in the sacrificial tower, absorbed Faith Power, and speculated that a future version of himself had reincarnated as an Incubator and become Flame Main God.
• Saint Radiance God returned from the Divine Realm, and Chen Mu suspected he had investigated Chen Mu's claimed identity.
• Saint Radiance God told Chen Mu that the Life Goddess, a Nature God System Master and one of the Twelve Chief Gods, wished to meet him in the God Realm.
• Saint Radiance God gave Chen Mu a Nature Seed that could temporarily replace an Incubation Heart and allow him to travel to the God Realm.
