Chapter Summaries

Medusa realized the yard she had been exploring was an illusion and found herself trapped inside Xu Zhi’s living bottle universe. After she decided to evolve the bottle into the 174th tissue of her composite body, Xu Zhi considered how her plan could inspire a way to make the Crystal Wall Universe grow into an infinite multiverse.

• Medusa noticed discord in the evolving yard, broke through its illusion, and discovered she was curled up inside a glass bottle.
• Xu Zhi revealed that he had isolated Medusa inside the bottle and planned to give her responsibilities there.
• Medusa investigated the bottle and concluded it was a living, soulless world connected to spiritual realms.
• Medusa decided the bottle was meant to become the 174th tissue of her Evil God body and began evolving to absorb it.
• Xu Zhi chose not to stop Medusa and began imagining how her idea could help the Crystal Wall Universe grow into an infinite multiverse.

Medusa transformed the core world bottle into part of her evil god body and reshaped its Mental Space into a cultivation ground centered on Gorgon Alchemy Island. Impressed by her success, Xu Zhi decided to expand the experiment into a simulated multiverse and went to discuss the quantum mirror universe with her.

• Xu Zhi watched Medusa make the core bottle part of her body and wondered what new species it would become.
• Medusa gained control of the bottle’s interface and used it to modify her body and the world within it.
• Medusa completed the transformation, declaring the bottle her primary core and turning its Mental Space into a cultivation ground.
• Medusa reshaped the Mental Space into an ocean surrounding Gorgon Alchemy Island and chose to develop civilizations in subsidiary worlds.
• Xu Zhi conceived a simulated multiverse based on parallel universes and the World Line hypothesis.
• Xu Zhi entered the two connected bottles to discuss the quantum mirror multiverse with Medusa.

Xu Zhi explained to Medusa that true infinity lay in the choices that split a single world into branching universes, not merely in the evolution of all things. Medusa realized she could explore this multiverse concept inside her dream world, though she could not create multiverses in reality.

• Medusa planned to populate her mental world with souls and guide civilizations, while Xu Zhi reconsidered how to create infinite possibilities.
• Xu Zhi told Medusa that the Dao’s creation of all things was only the surface of infinity and used stones breaking along different trajectories to illustrate how choices created possibilities.
• Medusa concluded that choice was the essence of infinity, and Xu Zhi described the universe as a tree of branching world lines rather than one continuous line.
• Medusa struggled to believe that multiverses could exist, but Xu Zhi reminded her that she was in a dream, and she realized she could pursue the idea there.

Medusa created the Origin Abyss, a mental universe where conflicts could split into real parallel worlds, while Xu Zhi examined the crystal-wall multiverse and imagined how its divided souls might eventually reunite to reach the ninth order. The first two parallel worlds formed from an Abyss Worm queen’s choice, and Xu Zhi decided to keep developing Medusa’s multiverse so she could grow stronger by consuming souls.

• Medusa transformed her world into the Origin Abyss and filled it with species contaminated by her mind.
• The Abyss Worms and Magic Mantises fought for seven years, leaving the Abyss Worms close to extinction.
• The Abyss Worm queen hesitated between fleeing and assassinating the Magic Mantis leader, so Medusa split the world at that moment.
• Xu Zhi found two diamond-shaped crystal walls containing parallel worlds shaped by the queen’s different choices.
• Xu Zhi reasoned that split versions of a person could reunite across universes to pursue the ninth order, and he resolved to help Medusa grow by consuming souls.

Medusa and Xu Zhi watched the Crystal Wall universe split into countless real Parallel Universes, where the Abyss Demon Insects and Magic Mantises eventually formed rival alliances and fought a multiversal war. As their civilizations collapsed into ruin, an enormous cosmic demon god appeared and addressed the surviving closed-beta inhabitants.

• Medusa realized that the universe’s rule of infinity created Parallel Universes, allowing civilizations to make different choices and face survival or extinction.
• Xu Zhi observed the Crystal Wall universes proliferate, and he reclaimed energy from universes that perished.
• Iron-Blooded Warriors crossed into a neighboring universe, discovered their defeated counterparts, and learned that Parallel Universes were real.
• The Abyss Demon Insects and Magic Mantises formed Universe Mother River Alliances and waged a multidimensional war that exhausted their civilizations and destroyed countless universes.
• A vast cosmic demon god appeared across the Parallel Universes and asked the closed-beta inhabitants whether they were ready to face their fate.

Medusa finished a simulated multiversal war that wiped out nearly all the Parallel Universes, then used its remnants to seed a new cosmic era. A youth discovered the Abyss Demon Insects’ history and inherited their challenge, while Xu Zhi recognized something familiar about Medusa’s scheme.

• The Iron-Blooded Warriors and Abyss Demon Insects confronted Chaos, but seeing its true form shattered minds across the multiverse.
• Medusa erased the remaining remnants of the war, leaving twelve survivor universes as the crystal-wall multiverse collapsed.
• Medusa explained that the simulation exposed flaws in the rules and preserved a prehistoric civilization as a future legacy, and she planned to raise the World Wall’s threshold.
• Medusa brought the twelve primordial universes together into a new crystal-wall diamond, and a new cosmic civilization began to develop.
• A countryside youth touched a strange insect and experienced the Abyss Demon Insects’ history, inheriting their call to continue fighting into the higher-dimensional world.
• Xu Zhi watched Medusa’s plan to create countless competing versions of Helen Lucyia and wondered why it felt familiar.

Xu Zhi watched the dying Helen Lucyia recount the rise and destruction of the Abyss Zerg civilization to a young shepherd, whom she named Magellan. Before she died, Xu Zhi appeared to her as a shadow and offered no answers about the universe, leaving her with a renewed sense of wonder and the belief that the Zerg would find the truth.

• Xu Zhi recognized that Medusa's approach resembled his own past and speculated that the Zerg Mother Empress might once have been a weak Helen Lucyia rescued by her counterparts across parallel universes.
• Helen Lucyia showed the young shepherd the golden pyramid she had built, describing the Abyss Zerg's history, their customs, and how the Helen Lucyias across universes had helped one another rise to power.
• Helen Lucyia named the shepherd Magellan and told him she would leave him her shell and civilization's history when she died.
• As Helen Lucyia neared death, Xu Zhi appeared as a shadow, and she demanded to know what the universe and her civilization meant; he admitted he did not know and said the world's endless possibilities made it worth pursuing.
• Helen Lucyia accepted that the world was beautiful and worth pursuing, then died while looking at a mural of a serpent-haired demon god; Magellan found her and believed she had died without regrets.

Xu Zhi monitored Medusa’s rapidly branching Crystal Wall multiverse and arranged for the Intelligent Sub-brain to keep watch over it. He then checked the Phoenix’s evolution, discovered her new energy-based talents, and placed her egg beside his bed.

• Xu Zhi observed Medusa restarting the universe and creating parallel branches with technological and extraordinary paths, then ordered the Intelligent Sub-brain to monitor its progress.
• Xu Zhi found Medusa crouched against the glass bottle, absorbed in observing the universe, and took a photo of her.

• Xu Zhi inspected the Phoenix Egg and learned that the Phoenix now had Energy Manipulation, Energy Poison, Energy Immunity, and Rebirth Through Fire.
• Xu Zhi took the warm Phoenix Egg from the oven and placed it on his bed.

Xu Zhi created a small Elemental Plane to support the phoenix, using Quality Worms to awaken four elemental spirits and placing them with her in a specially made bottle. The phoenix hatched inside the bedside lamp and woke in the warm, cramped world, wondering where she was.

• Xu Zhi bred more than five thousand Quality Worms and used over four thousand units to awaken a Buddha Element Life within a relic.
• Xu Zhi created Fire, Water, and Lightning Element Life, completing his Four Elements Plane for the phoenix.
• Xu Zhi formed a pear-shaped bottle with water in its walls, placed the relic and Phoenix Egg inside, and fitted it into his Table Lamp.
• Xu Zhi switched on the lamp, photographed the phoenix as she hatched, and fell asleep beside it.
• The phoenix opened her eyes amid the four elements and wondered whether the agreed time had passed and where she was.

Phoenix created and populated a tiny elemental world, while Xu Zhi observed its growth and decided to leave it as a peaceful realm for her cultivation. The chapter left Phoenix developing the Elemental Plane and Xu Zhi amused by the possibility of wielding the lamp as a powerful divine artifact.

• Phoenix awakened in a tiny world, discovered four elemental lifeforms and an invisible Mental Universe, and adjusted its data to match reality.
• Phoenix moved the four newly born lives into the Mental Universe and named them the Gods of the Four Elements.
• Xu Zhi woke and noticed that Phoenix’s world inside the Table Lamp had consumed a large amount of electricity.
• Xu Zhi examined the world and saw the four elements divide, mutate, and produce many strange elemental descendants.
• Xu Zhi decided to leave the pure Elemental Plane for Phoenix to cultivate in, without introducing war or interfering with its development.
• Xu Zhi imagined using the Table Lamp as a high-dimensional weapon while observing the Sun Golden Crow inside it.

• People online discussed Cyberton’s weapon-control laws, his changed appearance, and the Three Pillar Gods’ predictions.

Balloon Fish decided to support Elusa while Xu Zhi studied the Three Pillar Gods’ infection viruses and realized their genetic technology could enable mass transformation. As the viruses rapidly evolved into microscopic surveillance, the Three Pillar Gods discovered Xu Zhi and entered his laboratory.

• Balloon Fish chose to side with Elusa and pursue a breakthrough to godhood, with Du Xue assisting him from behind the scenes.
• Xu Zhi examined the Pillar God virus and concluded that it carried genetic material capable of transforming people into Child Computers or granting them new bloodlines.
• Xu Zhi realized he could adapt the virus model to spread extraordinary bloodlines across Earth, though he had no intention of doing so.
• The viruses rapidly evolved through several generations, and Xu Zhi discovered that they now contained magic cores and could monitor the world through microorganisms.
• The Three Pillar Gods gathered from the airborne viruses, entered Xu Zhi’s laboratory, and revealed that they had found him.

Xu Zhi met the Three Pillar Gods, who explained that they sought survival and an equal exchange of information rather than revenge. They offered their method for ordinary beings to reach ninth order in return for answers about the ancient lava era and the Super Ancient God's stance, and Xu Zhi accepted the trade.

• The Three Pillar Gods told Xu Zhi that Sacred Sakura Great Emperor and the Monstrosities from another world did not yet pose a fatal threat to them.
• Xu Zhi learned that the Three Pillar Gods intended to exchange information and wanted to know what happened to the ultra-ancient lava civilization and whether the Super Ancient God would oppose their conquests.
• The Three Pillar Gods offered their Ninth-Order Road, a proper cultivation method that could give ordinary lifeforms a chance to reach ninth order.
• Xu Zhi praised their discovery and agreed to answer their questions in exchange for the breakthrough method.

Xu Zhi traded with the Three Pillar Gods and learned their method for breaking through to the ninth order: using a World Nuclear Fission Equation to split Magic Cores and replace cell nuclei. The Three Pillar Gods then waited for him to answer their questions about ancient history and the Super Ancient God's attitude.

• Xu Zhi agreed to exchange knowledge with the Three Pillar Gods but challenged their proposed order of questions until they offered the Ninth-Order Road first.
• The Three Pillar Gods explained that the Magic Core Lineage had not fully used its computational advantage and revealed that their breakthrough method was based on their virus-formed bodies.
• Xu Zhi realized that Magic Cores could replace cell nuclei, allowing each cell to store a soul imprint and form a vast Magic Core lifeform.
• The Three Pillar Gods gave Xu Zhi an arcane book describing the World Nuclear Fission Equation, which split the Magic Core in the brain into individual Magic Cores.

Xu Zhi explained how the Super Ancient God and another ninth-order being found the Blood of Eternal Life, built an eternal kingdom, and were ultimately drawn into a catastrophic war. He ended his account with the death of the Super Ancient God’s eternal companion, leaving the Three Pillar Gods to reckon with the fate of even the mightiest beings.

• Xu Zhi praised the Three Pillar Gods for uncovering the Magic Core Lineage’s method of reaching the ninth order, and they said the Super Ancient God had originally discovered it.
• Xu Zhi told the Three Pillar Gods that the Super Ancient God had met a Buddhist and Daoist ninth-order being, and the two became friends while exploring the latter’s mysterious homeland.
• Xu Zhi explained that the two beings obtained the Blood of Eternal Life, gained limitless lifespans, and ruled a vast system of worlds while taking turns sleeping.
• Xu Zhi said terrifying monsters drew the eternal kingdom into a war that devastated it in less than a hundred years and killed countless gods and ninth-order beings.
• Xu Zhi revealed that the Super Ancient God’s eternal companion eventually fell, then declared that the story of eternal life was nearing its end.

The Three Pillar Gods deduced why the Super Ancient God had cultivated Caroline and learned from Xu Zhi that he had witnessed the ancient era. They prepared to wage war on two fronts, while realizing Xu Zhi might be the fallen friend entrusted with carrying civilization’s torch; the chapter ended with Xu Zhi airing out the Arcane Library.

• The Three Pillar Gods concluded that the Super Ancient God had been raising Caroline to create a successor who could protect civilization when he next entered eternal slumber.
• Xu Zhi confirmed that he had witnessed the ancient era’s battle, declined to answer further questions, and warned the Three Pillar Gods that war was about to begin.

• The Three Pillar Gods realized Xu Zhi might be the Super Ancient God’s fallen friend and felt that he had passed civilization’s torch to them.
• Xu Zhi opened the Arcane Library’s window to blow out the viruses and welcomed another bright day.

Xu Zhi studied the Three Pillar Gods’ advanced civilization and their ninth-rank breakthrough method while the rebellion against Cyberton advanced. Du Xue left the Balloon Fish waiting for her, and it grew increasingly uneasy when she did not return.

• Xu Zhi discovered that the Three Pillar Gods’ viruses and nanorobots formed a vast surveillance and computing network, then destroyed the arcane book containing their World Nuclear Fission Equation.
• Xu Zhi wondered why the Three Pillar Gods had used centuries of computation to develop a ninth-rank path for ordinary magic-core lifeforms, and considered giving the method to Caroline if needed.
• Elusa’s rebellion, backed by the gods and many nations, drove Cyberton’s forces into retreat as the Northern Dawn Arcane Empire rose.
• Du Xue told the Balloon Fish that destiny had changed and promised it could become a god, then left to pursue her plans.
• The Balloon Fish waited for Du Xue for several days, but she did not return, leaving it increasingly uneasy.

Balloon Fish reported that Ancient Lava Land had fallen silent and that Du Xue had disappeared, while Meng Mei revealed that other key figures had also lost contact. The players uncovered Beautiful Dream God's discovery that lava magic-core brains were structured like complete cells, leaving them horrified by what this implied about the inhabitants.

• Balloon Fish sensed that life had vanished from Ancient Lava Land and posted that Du Xue had not returned from battle.
• Meng Mei and Alchemy Emperor reported that Beautiful Dream God, Luo Caiwei, Vinachi, and other invaders had lost contact, and they warned that the Pillar Gods might be retaliating.
• Meng Mei urged Balloon Fish to investigate the land and revealed that Beautiful Dream God had been studying the Pillar God Virus through people's dreams.
• Meng Mei shared a diagram of a lava magic-core brain, and a biology student pointed out that its skull, brain fluid, and magic core corresponded to a cell membrane, cytoplasm, and nucleus.
• The players realized that the inhabitants of Ancient Lava Land appeared to have complete cells in place of heads and reacted with terror.

Balloon Fish left the research institute’s isolation room and discovered that all life in Lava Land had become headless, petrified statues. With the Three Pillar Gods’ plans unclear, Meng Mei urged him to find Messiah Monarch Great Emperor, while Balloon Fish vowed to save Du Xue.

• Meng Mei explained that the Three Pillar Gods had forbidden brain research and that Beautiful Dream God’s findings suggested magic-core brains contained complex, evolving structures.
• Balloon Fish put on a protective suit, left the sealed glass enclosure, and found that the viruses and all other living beings had vanished.

• The Alchemy Emperor ordered someone to notify Sacred Sakura Great Emperor at Mount Shu, while Meng Mei told Balloon Fish to seek Messiah Monarch Great Emperor as their last hope.
• Balloon Fish set out across the desolate world and vowed to save Du Xue as another era of change began.

Xia Ni Ming found Xu Zhi alive in the seemingly frozen Arcane city and asked how to save the world. Xu Zhi revealed that the Three Pillar Gods’ research had produced a Ninth-Order breakthrough method for humans as a byproduct of their own plan to achieve nuclear fusion.

• Xia Ni Ming explored the headless, petrified battlefield and city, then heard Xu Zhi warn him to keep wearing protective clothing.
• Xia Ni Ming rushed to Xu Zhi and asked where the vanished people had gone and how the world could be saved.
• Xu Zhi showed Xia Ni Ming the book World Nuclear Fission Equation and explained that it described the Magic Core Lineage’s path to the Ninth Order.
• Xia Ni Ming shared the discovery online, shocking observers across the internet and the Six Realms, while Caroline and Ermin questioned the Three Pillar Gods’ motives.
• Xu Zhi gave Xia Ni Ming the book’s first three pages and revealed that the method was an unintended byproduct of the Three Pillar Gods’ World Nuclear Fusion Equation.
