Chapter Summaries

Huang Ji revealed that his apparent Ziwei Coin campaign had been a ploy to draw Yuan Shen out of Ascension Land, but using his enormous Manifestation Power left him only two hours before its fatal backlash. The group learned that Shang Zun occupied the Supreme One position after being forcibly sent to the tenth dimension, and Huang Ji concluded that Shang Zun needed a Doctor.

• Huang Ji appeared in the ninth dimension and suppressed Yuan Shen, who explained that he had chosen to leave Ascension Land to avoid permanently losing Physical Immunity.
• Huang Ji admitted that the Ziwei Coin plan had been a bluff to lure Yuan Shen out, and he warned that his Manifestation Power would kill him after a delay of roughly two hours.
• Huang Ji refused to become Supreme One, but Yuan Shen revealed that the position was already occupied by Shang Zun.
• Yuan Shen explained that Shang Zun had willingly asked the Black Emperor to send him into the tenth dimension, where he remained trapped and blocked anyone else from becoming Supreme One.
• Huang Ji said Shang Zun was not dead and concluded that he only needed a Doctor.

Huang Ji explained how ten dimensions contained every physically possible state while leaving blank regions for impossibility, imagination, and free will. He told Yuan Shen that Manifestation Power could help restore Shang Zun, then sought Yuan Shen’s help in opposing the Black Emperor.

• Huang Ji said he could find Shang Zun with Manifestation Power but needed a dimensional reduction process to bring him back, and Rui Ji explained that physical processes could not occur in ten dimensions, where time was frozen.
• Huang Ji described ten dimensions as a storehouse of every possible universe state, while explaining that natural laws determined outcomes and the Free Will Law let people imagine possibilities beyond reality.
• Huang Ji revealed that gravity pulled imagination toward reality, and Yuan Shen questioned how gravity could constrain thought.
• Huang Ji asked Yuan Shen to help create a New World where Ten Dimensions Lifeforms were not alone, while Yuan Shen demanded that Huang Ji defeat him in the Ascension Land before he would consider joining him.
• Huang Ji explained that the blank spaces between ten-dimensional possibilities represented the Free Will Law and called this concept Leave Blank, describing the Genesis Landmass as something that existed without spacetime or physical contents.

Huang Ji explained that ten dimensions were both Zero-Dimension and Infinite Dimensions, and that gravitation shaped the universe’s lower-dimensional laws. He left Yuan Shen confronting the limits of his Absolute Circle project and the impossibility of infinite mass.

• Huang Ji explained how ten-dimensional gravitation divided the Genesis Landmass into tangible reality and blank space in the Golden Ratio.
• Yuan Shen modeled the ten-dimensional universe as a black-and-white sphere, but Huang Ji rejected it and described ten dimensions as a singularity with infinitely many coordinate systems.
• Yuan Shen realized that ten dimensions were also Infinite Dimensions, while Huang Ji explained that the Genesis Landmass transcended ordinary dimensional space-time.
• Yuan Shen considered whether Infinite Dimensions could create his Absolute Circle, but Huang Ji explained that it would require infinite mass, which the universe could not contain.

Huang Ji and Yuan Shen used Yuan Shen’s Forced Hit characteristic to send a portion of space-time to Shang Zun and bring him back from ten dimensions. Shang Zun returned alive but mad, while Yuan Shen prepared to fight Huang Ji and choose who among Ziwei would become Tai Yi.

• Huang Ji explained that he could not become Tai Yi on his chosen path and asked Yuan Shen to help save Shang Zun in exchange for letting Yuan Shen choose Ziwei’s next Tai Yi.
• Yuan Shen agreed to help and promised to fight Huang Ji to the death in the Ascension Land after Shang Zun was rescued.
• Yuan Shen used an Electromagnetic Acceleration Cannon and his Forced Hit characteristic to shoot Huang Ji’s portion of nine-dimensional space-time toward Shang Zun.
• Huang Ji used his Manifestation Power with Yuan Shen’s help to bring Shang Zun back onto the Time Corridor.
• Shang Zun returned screaming and appeared to have gone mad from experiencing ten-dimensional information, while Yuan Shen urged Huang Ji to begin their promised battle.

Yuan Shen chose Lin Li to become the Supreme One, and Huang Ji helped him transcend to the Ten Dimensions and remove the backlash threatening Huang Ji. After experiencing the Ten Dimensions and discovering the extent of his control over the universe, Lin Li understood why Huang Ji had chosen him and resolved to keep fighting at his side.

• Lan Jue and Yu Kong Shan competed to become the Supreme One until Lin Li urged Yuan Shen to choose someone.
• Yuan Shen chose Lin Li, who reluctantly accepted after Huang Ji confirmed the decision.
• With Huang Ji's help, Lin Li traveled through the Time Corridor, transcended to the Ten Dimensions, and became the Supreme One.
• Lin Li experienced the Ten Dimensions' infinite beauty, returned his attention to his mission, and erased the backlash of Manifestation Power from Huang Ji.
• Lin Li discovered that the Supreme One controlled the universe's destiny, while Huang Ji, Yuan Shen, and Shang Zun had partly escaped its scripts.
• Lin Li realized Huang Ji had chosen him because he would remain loyal and fight alongside him, and the two exchanged an understanding smile.

Lin Li explained the tenth dimension to Shang Zun, who learned that Lin Li had become Supreme One and closed the path to transcendence. Huang Ji offered to help Shang Zun obtain an Absolute Characteristic and change the universe’s rules, but Shang Zun and Yuan Shen demanded that Huang Ji prove himself by defeating Yuan Shen first.

• Shang Zun regained his senses in the Time Corridor and described the tenth dimension’s beauty, while Lin Li explained its infinite fulfillment and the oppression of nine-dimensional spacetime.
• Shang Zun realized Lin Li had become Supreme One and that the Tai Yi Path was severed, then charged Lin Li and demanded death rather than remain trapped in the universe.
• Lin Li explained Huang Ji’s plan to change the universe’s settings so more beings could enter the tenth dimension, and Shang Zun recognized Lin Li’s restraint as respect for his choice.
• Huang Ji claimed he could see through the randomness of Root Algorithm acquisitions and help Shang Zun obtain an Absolute Characteristic, while explaining that he could only progress by guiding his teammates.
• Yuan Shen said Huang Ji was qualified to contend with Black Emperor but had to defeat him first, and Shang Zun agreed to help Huang Ji only if he overcame Yuan Shen.

Huang Ji and Yuan Shen began their battle in Ascension Land, where Huang Ji revealed the effects and limitations of their Absolute Characteristics. The Ziwei Crowd learned that Huang Ji had gained an invincible finger, while Yuan Shen’s Unspeakable Characteristic made creating a new appearance dangerously incomprehensible.

• The Ziwei Crowd entered Ascension Land with Huang Ji and Lin Li to support Huang Ji, while Shang Zun watched from the moon.
• Yuan Shen struck Huang Ji with the Soulless One Characteristic, and Huang Ji explained that it removed his soul while guaranteeing that he had an invincible finger.
• Shi Ge Mu tested the Characteristic by destroying her arm and found that one damaged finger remained, able to move.
• Huang Ji explained that Yuan Shen’s Unspeakable Characteristic prevented him from understanding his own appearance and could make a self-created appearance impossible for anyone to comprehend.
• Yuan Shen admitted that using an incomprehensible appearance could make him unable to understand his own actions, so he usually avoided the Characteristic.

Shang Zun suppressed Ziwei’s energy while preparing a weapon, but Huang Ji used his knowledge of the Root Algorithm to give several allies precise tasks for obtaining it. After Lan Jue gained the Root Algorithm, Huang Ji took him to confront Yuan Shen, while the others began their assigned tasks.

• Shang Zun erased his own soul, retreated to a mountain, and created an Energy Inhibition Domain that limited the Ziwei group to Carbon-level power.
• Huang Ji told Lan Jue to dance on the sea to obtain the Root Algorithm and gave other Ziwei members exact instructions for their own chances.
• Lan Jue followed Huang Ji’s directions, obtained the Root Algorithm, and gained a characteristic that others could sense but not identify.
• Huang Ji told those without instructions to watch from the moon and reassured Lin Li that his opportunity could not be discussed.
• Huang Ji took Lan Jue to stop Yuan Shen while the other Ziwei members carried out their assigned tasks.

Lan Jue discovered that his Sudden Illness characteristic could affect Yuan Shen, while Huang Ji battled the deity’s Blood Sea Weapons by enlarging his body and producing spare brains. Yuan Shen realized the illness was an Absolute Illness caused by Physical Immunity, leaving the deity struck by an affliction it could not cure.

• Yuan Shen attacked Huang Ji and Lan Jue with the Blood Sea Weapons, dissolving Huang Ji’s lower body as Lan Jue escaped.

• Lan Jue realized his Sudden Illness characteristic could affect anyone alive whose appearance he knew, despite doubting it could harm Yuan Shen.
• Lan Jue declared that Yuan Shen was sick, causing the deity to suffer severe symptoms and vomit green fluid.
• Yuan Shen identified the condition as Absolute Illness and realized that Physical Immunity had made it impossible to cure.

Yuan Shen was crippled by Lan Jue’s Sudden Illness characteristic, but escaped its lock-on by taking an incomprehensible new form and bombarded the Ziwei Crowd. Huang Ji then became incomprehensible as well, leaving the onlookers to realize that Yuan Shen’s Unspeakable Characteristic could spread through the appearances He assumed.

• Yuan Shen discovered that Sudden Illness could impose diseases on an Ultimate Lifeform, and Lan Jue stacked more illnesses onto Him until His combat strength plummeted.
• Yuan Shen considered switching bodies, but Lan Jue warned that he could inflict Sudden Illness again if he recognized Yuan Shen’s appearance.
• Night Fang entered the Root-level, and Yuan Shen fired missiles at the Ziwei Crowd to interrupt their progress while several members continued ascending.
• Yuan Shen transformed into an incomprehensible new form, clearing the illnesses and preventing Lan Jue from locking onto Him.
• Huang Ji and Shi Ge Mu regenerated from their final fingers, but Huang Ji’s body became incomprehensible before Yuan Shen could strike again.
• Lin Li and Shang Zun concluded that Yuan Shen’s Unspeakable Characteristic could affect any new species He created, and Lin Li said Huang Ji could exploit that effect.

Huang Ji and the others discovered that Rui Ji’s Dragon Tail held a lethal characteristic, which she used to trap Yuan Shen in a singularity. Yuan Shen survived through its Soulless One ability, while Huang Ji revealed how that same characteristic had helped him win their battle.

• Huang Ji destroyed the Blood Sea Weapons after his incomprehensible form made them unable to dissolve him, but the group realized they still needed a characteristic to overcome Yuan Shen’s Physical Immunity.
• Rui Ji touched Shi Ge Mu with her strange tail, causing Shi Ge Mu to vanish, and the others began restoring her body to determine whether she had died or been transported.
• Rui Ji charged straight into Yuan Shen with her tail and made it disappear, while Huang Ji explained that Yuan Shen had prepared a regeneration machine in a sealed space.
• Shi Ge Mu revived after the Energy Inhibition Domain weakened, and Huang Ji revealed that Rui Ji’s Dragon Tail trapped living beings in a singularity where they were crushed.
• Huang Ji explained that Yuan Shen’s Soulless One characteristic had let it revive and had also allowed Huang Ji to match its indescribable form, turning Yuan Shen’s own strategy against it.

Yuan Shen unleashed her stored Blood Sea weapons and tried to kill Huang Ji with a puppet made in his likeness, but Huang Ji used Spectator Mode and a Dragon Tail to turn the fight around. He revealed that her final attack failed because she had used the wrong Information True Name: his true name was Huang Xu, not Huang Ji.

• Yuan Shen attacked Huang Ji from sealed spacetime with Forced Hit cannon fire, then unleashed her hidden Blood Sea weapons and puppet clones.
• Lan Jue inflicted Sudden Illness on Yuan Shen while Huang Ji and Rui Ji rushed to stop her from completing a puppet of Huang Ji.

• Yuan Shen completed her puppet during Huang Ji's reentry, but Rui Ji's Dragon Tail killed her before the puppet could take effect.
• Huang Ji and Lin Li captured Yuan Shen after she revived without Physical Immunity, and Huang Ji stopped Rui Ji from killing her again.
• Huang Ji explained that Yuan Shen's puppet attack required his Information True Name and revealed that it was Huang Xu.

Yuan Shen explained why its Puppet Characteristic Kill failed to erase Huang Ji and revealed that using it halved its lifespan. After Yuan Shen refused to join Huang Ji, Huang Ji offered to resume their fight, and Yuan Shen accepted despite knowing it could target him again.

• Yuan Shen explained that Puppet Characteristic Kill required a target’s Information True Name, which Huang Ji had never revealed, and that using the ability halved its user’s lifespan.
• Yuan Shen said it had fulfilled its scientific dream of creating the Tai Yi Universe and no longer cared much about pursuing the Absolute Circle.
• Yuan Shen recounted how the Black Emperor erased the first characteristic objects and established the rules governing characteristics and Ascension Land.
• Yuan Shen refused to help Huang Ji change the universe’s settings, arguing that Huang Ji had relied on the Black Emperor’s rules to defeat it.
• Huang Ji revealed that Yuan Shen’s Money Vault had replenished and challenged it to fight again, and Yuan Shen accepted.

Huang Ji and his allies battled Yuan Shen, whose Energy Inhibition Domain and regeneration kept him ahead, until Ni Guang appeared and drew Yuan Shen’s projectile attack away from Huang Ji. Ni Guang revealed that his Characteristic had made him abandon his original goal of changing the universe and become an obsessive traveler.

• Lan Jue rapidly afflicted Yuan Shen with illnesses, forcing Yuan Shen to repeatedly reconstruct parts of his body to counter them.
• Rui Ji struck Yuan Shen with One Tail, and Yuan Shen used hidden equipment to escape through space-time and attack the group from outside the atmosphere.
• Huang Ji tore through the Blood Sea Weapons to create an opening for his allies, leaving himself reduced to a finger as Yuan Shen’s Electromagnetic Cannon targeted him.
• Ni Guang appeared and absorbed the cannon’s attack, while Shang Zun explained that Ni Guang’s Characteristic drew fired projectiles toward him within ten thousand kilometers.
• Ni Guang told Lin Li that he had once intended to change the universe’s settings, but Yuan Shen explained that Ni Guang’s Mind Warp Characteristic had made travel the purpose of his life.

Ni Guang lent Lin Li the Nine Star Pattern, allowing him to reach the Root-level, while Huang Ji continued fighting Yuan Shen. Huang Ji’s Golden Finger struck Yuan Shen and triggered a new characteristic, leaving Yuan Shen to realize they had been part of Huang Ji’s plan all along.

• Huang Ji explained that Ni Guang had made travel their foremost passion without abandoning their interest in science, and Ni Guang declined to join the battle.
• Ni Guang lent Lin Li the Nine Star Pattern, and Lin Li comprehended the Root Algorithm and entered the Root-level.
• Yuan Shen attacked Huang Ji to keep him from explaining the characteristic to Lin Li, and Huang Ji’s body transformed into a humanoid form of water.
• Yuan Shen destroyed Huang Ji’s body, but Huang Ji’s Golden Finger survived and struck Yuan Shen on the forehead.
• Yuan Shen gained a new characteristic and realized Huang Ji had arranged events so that Yuan Shen’s breakthrough would occur through the Golden Finger’s touch.

Huang Ji revealed that he had guided Yuan Shen into acquiring a Characteristic that burned his lifespan, while explaining how Lin Li’s star-pattern Characteristic worked. Yuan Shen conceded, but Huang Ji insisted they keep fighting, using Yuan Shen’s uncontrollable flames to overcome the Energy Inhibition Domain.

• Shang Zun and Ni Guang realized Huang Ji could guide others into gaining Absolute Characteristics, including harmful ones, and Ni Guang recognized that his own star ability had helped trigger Yuan Shen’s new Characteristic.
• Huang Ji explained that Lin Li’s stars could transfer fatal damage between him and a lifeform made of a specific substance, while Ni Guang described the memories he lost whenever he made a star.
• Huang Ji revealed that Yuan Shen’s blazing flames burned lifespan and could not be turned off, a consequence of Yuan Shen having used Puppet Characteristic Kill to gain a lifespan.
• Yuan Shen realized Huang Ji had planned these events, admitted defeat, and suspected Huang Ji was using him to obtain more Characteristics.
• Huang Ji told Yuan Shen to continue fighting, and Yuan Shen’s uncontrollable high-energy flames let Huang Ji unleash power beyond the Energy Inhibition Domain.

Huang Ji used the battle with Yuan Shen and Ni Guang to help the others awaken characteristics, then explained the Black Emperor’s near-omnipotent reach across interfaces. After Ni Guang, Yuan Shen, and Shang Zun agreed to help him, Huang Ji asked them to fight him and unlock Infinite Thinking.

• Yuan Shen fought on while Ni Guang joined the battle and used his Little Sun form to strike Lin Li with an instant-arriving cannon shot.
• Huang Ji had Lin Li anchor his spacetime coordinates, then Shi Ge Mu awakened a characteristic that turned every star into iron and prevented Ni Guang from using the Eternal Forbidden Zone.
• Ni Guang’s death-substitution characteristic killed Shang Zun in his place, but Shang Zun survived as a characteristic lifeform called a Star Spirit after awakening Star Spirit Lodging.
• Huang Ji explained the Pan-Infinite Dimensions, the Blue White Boundary, and the Black Emperor’s ability to control information across the entire interface.
• Ni Guang, Yuan Shen, and Shang Zun agreed to help Huang Ji, who asked them to fight him to unlock Infinite Thinking.

Huang Ji’s apparent death left Ziwei’s people helpless against the Apex Three Sovereigns until Luo Yan led Earth Civilization’s advance force into the Ascension Land and turned the fight around. After the Ziwei group revived, Huang Ji had Lin Li link Luo Yan’s left eye to Kunlun, revealing his plan to guide the civilization toward a shared Infinite Thinking characteristic.

• Ni Guang declared illness essential for survival, rendering the Ziwei fighters’ bodies lifeless, while Yuan Shen held back from using his limited puppet kills on them.
• The Sovereigns waited for Huang Ji to revive, but Luo Yan arrived through the Time Corridor with more than ten thousand Ultimate Bodies from Earth Civilization.
• Luo Yan’s force attacked the Sovereigns, and Brando destroyed their Blood Sea Weapons, allowing most of the Ziwei fighters to revive.
• Huang Ji and Shi Ge Mu revived, and Lin Li, Night Fang, Yu Kong Shan, and Rui Ji revealed newly gained characteristics.
• Huang Ji told Luo Yan to stop the attack after he activated his Root Algorithm, then ordered Lin Li to bind Luo Yan’s left eye to Kunlun.
• Ni Guang realized Huang Ji intended to use Luo Yan’s characteristic as a carrier for a characteristic shared by all of Kunlun, potentially including Infinite Thinking.

Huang Ji used Luo Yan’s eye to obtain Infinite Thinking for the Kunlun Ruins, then unlocked the information about Mo Qiong, the Game Player in Black. The chapter ended with Mo Qiong inviting Huang Ji to his wedding.

• Huang Ji explained that Luo Yan’s Left Eye was the most acceptable route to Infinite Thinking and discussed the possibility of Mo Qiong possessing a True Absolute Characteristic.
• Yu Kong Shan blinded Luo Yan’s Right Eye, activating Infinite Thinking in Luo Yan’s Left Eye and allowing it to process natural-world predictions infinitely.
• Huang Ji declared himself the Kunlun Ruins’ eye, and the members agreed, extending Infinite Thinking to the organization and granting it to Huang Ji.
• Huang Ji used Infinite Thinking to perceive information across the Blue White Boundary and learned that the Game Player in Black was Mo Qiong, an Earthling and president of the Blue White Society.
• Mo Qiong spoke to Huang Ji and asked whether he would attend his wedding.

Huang Ji observed Mo Qiong’s wedding from the future, and Mo Qiong treated him as a guest despite Huang Ji not yet being born. Their conversation revealed that Mo Qiong’s omnipotence could match Huang Ji’s interface-wide perception, leaving Huang Ji aware that their destined confrontation would be difficult to win.

• Mo Qiong invited Huang Ji to his wedding, and Gou Ye added Huang Ji to the guest list after seeing him through Information Sense.
• Mo Qiong asked Gou Ye to collect Lin Xiqiu, who could not use characteristics after Severing the Heavens and had fallen while climbing Mount Tai.
• The chapter described how Mo Qiong had ended the Age of Characteristics, separated anomalous objects from nature, and remained guardian of the dimensions.
• Mo Qiong created a body for Huang Ji, and the two shared tea and discussed the limits of Huang Ji’s perception and Mo Qiong’s Absolute Hit.
• Huang Ji recognized that Mo Qiong could match or surpass any power he reached, while the author’s note stated that the two would fight and Huang Ji would not give up despite knowing he was destined to lose.
