Chapter Summaries

Wenren Sheng watched Liu Gang grow rapidly through his clone-granting Golden Finger while a Green Mountain Sect Golden Pill cultivator plotted to seize it. Liu Gang evaded an attempted trap, established his foundation, and continued to gain strength as Wenren Sheng compared his fortune and abilities with his own.

• Liu Gang expanded his clones, advanced to the seventh level of Qi Refinement, and joined the Green Mountain Sect as the disciple of a Beautiful Golden Pill Master.
• The Golden Pill cultivator and an accomplice concealed Liu Gang’s secret by killing people who had witnessed his clones, while Liu Gang secretly returned to the mine to gather spirit stones.
• Wenren Sheng discovered Liu Gang’s Golden Finger was a golden pearl that produced clones, and he observed the Golden Pill cultivator hesitate to attack because of sect rules and the Beautiful Golden Pill Master.
• A young woman named Wan Qiu lured Liu Gang toward Golden Sand Lake, but Liu Gang sent a clone in his place, recognized her as a spy, and began investigating her while remaining safe in his master’s cave dwelling.
• Liu Gang uncovered Wan Qiu’s suspicious ties to unexplained spirit stones, played along to buy time, and established his foundation three months later.
• Wenren Sheng continued making talismans and reflected on how the Giant Lobster’s growing family now played Mahjong with him.

Liu Gang was captured by Sha Laosi, a Golden Core cultivator who had spent years scheming to seize him and his secret. Sha Laosi escaped the Green Cloud Sect with Liu Gang imprisoned in a Golden Small Tower, while Wenren Sheng watched and reflected on Liu Gang’s misplaced trust in the sect.

• Wenren Sheng watched Liu Gang reach Foundation Establishment Stage Level 9 with 256 clones while Sha Laosi prepared to strike.
• The Beautiful Golden Pill Master left for a gathering, and Liu Gang stayed in his cave abode, trusting the sect’s rule against disciples harming one another.
• Sha Laosi came to the cave abode, where Liu Gang used a clone to greet him and hid his main body in the Pill Room.
• Sha Laosi destroyed Liu Gang’s clone and fought off his 256 Foundation Establishment clones with a Golden Bell.
• Sha Laosi broke into the Pill Room, imprisoned Liu Gang in a Golden Small Tower, and fled the mountain gate with him.

The old Golden Core cultivator tortured Liu Gang for six months in an attempt to uncover and claim his Golden Finger, but discovered it was bound to Liu Gang. Liu Gang submitted to a Soul Contract and agreed to use his clones to mine for the cultivator.

• The old Golden Core cultivator demanded that Liu Gang reveal his Clone Technique, then tortured him when he recognized Liu Gang’s explanation as a fabrication.
• Liu Gang broke under the torture and revealed his golden bead, his past world, and how he had obtained the Golden Finger, though the cultivator could neither find nor extract it.
• Wenren Sheng watched Liu Gang’s capture and blamed his reckless choices for leaving him trapped and unable to use his Golden Finger effectively.
• After six months, the old Golden Core cultivator concluded that the Golden Finger was bound to Liu Gang and chose not to kill him for fear it might disappear or attach to someone else.
• The old Golden Core cultivator offered Liu Gang rest, entertainment, and women in exchange for a Soul Contract, and Liu Gang submitted and agreed to mine spirit stones with his clones.

Wenren Sheng watched Green Cloud Old Ancestor turn Liu Gang into a long-lived humanoid magical treasure, then hideously exploit his Golden Finger. When eighteen Nascent Soul cultivators attacked the Green Cloud Sect to seize it, Green Cloud Old Ancestor unleashed more than a thousand Golden Core avatars and activated the sect’s grand formation.

• The old Golden Core cultivator tortured Liu Gang for a hundred years, but Green Cloud Old Ancestor appeared, killed him, and took Liu Gang.
• Green Cloud Old Ancestor hypnotized Liu Gang, controlled his soul, and spent ten years refining him into a mirror-like magical treasure that obeyed commands.
• Wenren Sheng observed from a Spirit-Sealing Land and reasoned that the Upper Realm harvested rare treasures, so he stayed hidden rather than exposing himself.
• Over the next century, Green Cloud Old Ancestor let Liu Gang reach early Golden Core stage and produce 1,024 Golden Core avatars while sealing his further progress.
• The Carefree Gate, Longevity Gate, and Thunderfire Sect attacked the Green Cloud Sect with eighteen Nascent Soul cultivators, demanding Liu Gang’s Golden Finger.
• Green Cloud Old Ancestor released the Golden Core avatars, then activated the grand formation, trusting the immense spirit-stone reserves Liu Gang had mined.

After the Nascent Soul cultivators failed to break Green Cloud Old Ancestor’s formation, he won many over by promising them access to his Golden Finger and continued refining Liu Gang to take the clones with him when he ascended. A grid search uncovered Wenren Sheng, who hid deep in the Spirit-Sealing Land, while Green Cloud Old Ancestor began plotting to seize his Seed of Longevity.

• The eighteen Nascent Soul cultivators attacked Green Cloud Sect for a month, but Golden Core clones’ self-destructions injured three of them and their spirit stones could not break the formation.
• Green Cloud Old Ancestor persuaded three Nascent Soul cultivators to defect, then gained nine more by offering each three hundred years of access to the Golden Finger after his ascension.
• Green Cloud Old Ancestor chose to refine Liu Gang into his Lifebound Magic Treasure so he could bring the clones with him, while Wenren Sheng realized the Seed of Longevity made him a second treasure capable of enabling ascension.
• Wenren Sheng stayed hidden in the Spirit-Sealing Land and found that the Seed of Longevity could restore his cultivation when he went outside to absorb spirit stones.
• Green Cloud Old Ancestor organized a systematic search with his clones and allied cultivators, and they discovered Wenren Sheng’s location.
• Green Cloud Old Ancestor considered whether to take Wenren Sheng’s Seed of Longevity, but found Wenren Sheng buried two to three hundred thousand meters underground in the Spirit-Sealing Land, beyond his reach.

Wenren Sheng planned to outlast Green Cloud Old Ancestor by hiding in the Spirit-Sealing Land and building a vast underground civilization. When Green Cloud Old Ancestor’s schemes failed to lure him out, he mobilized surface mortals to dig toward Wenren Sheng, who responded by ordering his own population to expand and the underground kingdom to grow.

• Wenren Sheng rejected Green Cloud Old Ancestor’s attempts to lure him out through online friendships, beautiful Female Immortals, and a Secret Realm, while continuing to build his underground Kingdom.
• Green Cloud Old Ancestor caused several earthquakes, but they failed to reach Wenren Sheng deep inside the Spirit-Sealing Land.
• Green Cloud Old Ancestor organized mortals from his many Kingdoms into a massive excavation effort, using immortal logistics and rewards to motivate them to dig toward Wenren Sheng.
• Wenren Sheng ordered the underground Kingdom to expand its territory and population so it could contend with the surface forces and absorb the mortals who came underground.
• Wenren Sheng’s government tied eligibility for Imperial Examinations to having children and promised to raise children beyond the first three.

Wenren Sheng’s plan to draw the immortals’ search into the Spirit-Sealing Land led to mass defections and the growth of independent underground kingdoms. After the Green Cloud Old Ancestor threatened them with floods, Wenren Sheng armed them with nuclear missiles, turning the conflict toward a wider struggle between mortals and immortals.

• The Green Cloud Old Ancestor’s mortals reached the Spirit-Sealing Land, where many defected to Wenren Sheng’s underground kingdom rather than endure brutal labor above.
• The Green Cloud Old Ancestor offered rewards for capturing Wenren Sheng, and the underground kingdoms began searching for him, but resistance and political divisions thwarted their efforts.
• After another five hundred years, the Green Cloud Old Ancestor threatened the kingdoms with floods, pushing them to unite and hunt Wenren Sheng.
• Wenren Sheng taught the underground people about Mushrooms, and they launched ten Nuclear Missiles that killed more than a hundred Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators and destroyed the bodies of three Golden Core cultivators.
• Underground factions used further Mushrooms to destroy immortal sects, forcing the sects to allow them to cultivate outside the Spirit-Sealing Land.

Wenren Sheng outlasted Green Cloud Old Ancestor, whose ascension ended in death and left behind a clone system. After briefly using the system to gather resources and information, Wenren Sheng discarded it and questioned whether the warning that the world had only 600 years left was another trap.

• Wenren Sheng hid underground for thousands of years while his Mushroom weapon encouraged mortals to challenge immortals, and Green Cloud Old Ancestor’s lifespan ran out.
• Green Cloud Old Ancestor sacrificed his clone Golden Finger to ascend, but a blaze descended from the sky and left Wenren Sheng with a God-level Clone System.
• Wenren Sheng concluded that Green Cloud Old Ancestor had been selected for slaughter after reaching his peak, and he used clones to gather resources and information before worrying the system might have a backdoor.
• Wenren Sheng discarded the clone system and learned from a Green Cloud Sect book that the world’s 129,600-year lifespan had supposedly dwindled to 600 years.
• Wenren Sheng suspected Green Cloud Old Ancestor had fabricated the warning, along with the ascension and clone system, to deceive him.

Wenren Sheng stayed hidden in the Spirit-Sealing Land while the Green Cloud Old Ancestor’s elaborate illusion failed to lure him out, then watched as Lin Xiaofan’s child-producing system brought her family to his doorstep. Lin Xiaofan settled nearby and met Wenren Sheng, who politely called her “granny.”

• Wenren Sheng dismissed the Green Cloud Old Ancestor’s staged ascension and Golden Finger as a trap, remaining in seclusion while researching and cultivating.
• The Green Cloud Old Ancestor waited decades for Wenren Sheng to take the bait, then ascended when his lifespan ran short.
• Wenren Sheng discovered Lin Xiaofan’s More Children, More Fortune System and observed her forcing her five sons to take many concubines so she could gain rewards through their children.
• A second-generation Green Cloud Old Ancestor tried to recruit Lin Xiaofan, but his delayed ascension tribulation struck and let her escape.
• Lin Xiaofan packed her family into a living storage bag and fled to the Spirit-Sealing Land, where her spiritual roots improved and her cultivation reached the Golden Core Stage.
• Lin Xiaofan moved beside Wenren Sheng and visited him with her family; he called her “granny,” irritating her despite her intuition that he posed no danger.

Lin Xiaofan tried to arrange a marriage between Wenren Sheng and one of her daughters, then focused on extending her sons’ lives and raising her cultivation through them. When she could no longer conceive, Wenren Sheng suggested cloning, and Lin Xiaofan realized he was also a transmigrator.

• Lin Xiaofan tried to persuade Wenren Sheng to marry one of her daughters, but the Giant Lobster swung her by the hair and Wenren Sheng refused to marry.
• After twenty years, Lin Xiaofan worried that her five Foundation Establishment Stage sons would die before they could leave the Spirit-Sealing Land safely, so she sent Lin Dong and Lin Yuan out to cultivate.
• Lin Dong and Lin Yuan found four Core-Forming Pills after two cultivators died fighting, and they reached Core Formation ten years later.
• Lin Xiaofan’s cultivation rose as Lin Dong and Lin Yuan took concubines, while she spent time playing games and chatting with Wenren Sheng.
• When Lin Xiaofan could no longer conceive and her sons’ cultivation stalled, Wenren Sheng suggested using cloning technology, leading her to realize he was a transmigrator like her.

Lin Xiaofan used her More Children, More Fortune System to become the world’s strongest Cultivator, then spent millennia destroying immortal sects while Wenren Sheng watched from the Spirit-Sealing Land. After she asked whether to ascend, Wenren Sheng revealed that her purge had cleared the way for her descendants to develop cultivation technology and prepare for possible extraterrestrial threats.

• Lin Xiaofan had more than three hundred sons in a year, became Wenren Sheng’s neighbor wherever he moved, and later left with killing intent.
• Lin Xiaofan annihilated the Green Cloud Sect and then continued destroying immortal sects, crushing the Cultivators who joined forces against her.
• The male Cultivators above Golden Core either died or fled into the Spirit-Sealing Land, while Lin Xiaofan protected her sons and continued killing for thousands of years.
• Lin Xiaofan eventually stopped killing, returned to Wenren Sheng, and asked whether she should ascend; he said the choice was hers and explained that he was studying science in case Aliens arrived.
• Lin Xiaofan realized Wenren Sheng had allowed her to eliminate the selfish immortals so her descendants could develop technology and cultivation freely.

Lin Xiaofan and Wenren Sheng endured humanity’s growing technological power and the search for Old Grandmother while Wenren Sheng worked on a way to make everyone immortal. The chapter ended after hibernation technology spread, causing many people to abandon the hunt and sleep into the future.

• A heavenly demon attacked the world, but lightning struck its tooth and drove it away, while Wenren Sheng realized Lin Xiaofan’s overwhelming fortune had made the world unusually lucky.
• After Lin Xiaofan fell asleep, Wenren Sheng cultivated to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, and Lin Xiaofan woke and proposed that they ascend together.
• Lin Xiaofan discovered that human technology could threaten immortals, so Wenren Sheng revealed he was developing Consciousness Upload through the Divine Sense Network and asked her to buy him time.
• A Nascent Soul Old Ancestor failed to ascend, prompting people to seek Lin Xiaofan, whom they believed held the secret to ascension and immortality.
• As people hunted Lin Xiaofan to eat her flesh, Wenren Sheng continued developing technology, and humanity eventually invented Hibernation Technology.

Lin Xiaofan and Wenren Sheng watched their world become increasingly unequal as elites dismantled technology and restricted education to protect their claim on future immortality. After extraterrestrials contacted Ye Fan and began interfering with scientific progress, Wenren Sheng learned that their world was only one of many cages and that the newcomers faced a brutal culling system.

• Lin Xiaofan saw a destitute descendant ask her for money and angrily left after he called her an old lady.
• Over three hundred years, elites destroyed advanced weapons and scientific knowledge, limited education, and reserved hibernation for themselves and their children.
• Ye Fan contacted extraterrestrials, ignored a woman’s warning not to answer, and pleaded for help saving his world.
• Five years later, scientists began dying, and Wenren Sheng suspected extraterrestrial demons were suppressing the world’s technology to invade it.
• Wenren Sheng used the Divine Sense Network to learn that the extraterrestrials had escaped a world of demons and monsters and were probing his world.
• Fifty years later, protons contacted Wenren Sheng, described their world’s recurring culling of its people, and begged him to let them live in his world.

Wenren Sheng discovered Wang Bao, a Transmigrator whose simulator granted rapid cultivation and foresight, and observed how Wang Bao searched for a way to survive without sacrificing his Golden Finger. Wang Bao’s simulations revealed the Mysterious Person’s immortality and role in the Heavenly Dao Poison, but every plan to secure the man’s help ended in failure.

• Lin Xiaofan organized Golden Core cultivators into the Heaven's Mandate Spirit Palace to prepare against the Extraterrestrials.
• Wenren Sheng found Wang Bao through the network and recognized that his Golden Finger was an Immortal Cultivation Simulator.
• Wang Bao simulated a future in which Old Grandmother captured him and sacrificed him to ascend, then explored other futures involving the Mysterious Person, technology, and political power.
• Wang Bao learned through simulations that the Mysterious Person was handsome, perceptive, immortal, and responsible for creating the Heavenly Dao Poison that later killed the Extraterrestrials.
• Wang Bao tried to become the Mysterious Person’s disciple and slave, but he died before the man completed longevity research.
• Wang Bao simulated becoming a woman and proposing to the Mysterious Person, who rejected her and offered her to Old Grandmother as a sacrifice.

Wang Bao used simulations and clones to get closer to Lin Xiaofan, first studying under Wenren Sheng and then discovering that Lin Xiaofan’s discarded jade pendant could improve his body. The chapter ended with Wang Bao taking the form of an old man who fulfilled Lin Xiaofan’s longing for a father.

• Wenren Sheng gave Little Fatty a catalog of 36,500 books, and Little Fatty used the simulator to study them despite the lengthy absorption process.
• Little Fatty offered to build a laboratory for Wenren Sheng, unaware that Wenren Sheng already had a secret underground lab operated by robots through the Divine Sense Network.
• Lin Xiaofan inspected Little Fatty, then later enjoyed the food he brought and gave him a jade pendant that improved his body.
• After simulations showed that flattery and other approaches failed, Little Fatty decided to win Lin Xiaofan’s trust by becoming a father figure.
• Half a year later, Wang Bao arrived in the tunnel as an old-man clone and gradually became Lin Xiaofan’s sworn father.

Wang Bao watched extraterrestrial warships invade Sunny Day and erase the Cultivators’ powers, while Lin Xiaofan’s fortune could not stop them. When the invaders began sterilizing the population, Lin Xiaofan demanded that Old Man destroy them, setting up the response to the invasion.

• Wang Bao learned through simulations that Lin Xiaofan’s extraordinary fortune could keep him alive in the Small World, so he settled down beside her as a thousand and then two thousand years passed.
• Wang Bao tipped streamer Liu Shun one billion while Liu Shun broadcast a Nascent Soul duel, and a crack opened in the sky to reveal an arriving fleet of extraterrestrial warships.
• The invaders released blue gas that combined with spiritual energy and created Spirit-Sealing Land conditions, stripping the Cultivators of their powers and rapidly aging them.
• Wang Bao simulated the invasion and learned that the invaders planned to sterilize everyone rather than massacre them, but Lin Xiaofan angrily ordered Old Man to destroy them when she realized they were targeting her system.

Wang Bao discovered that the Extraterrestrials threatened the Small World and persuaded Wenren Sheng to give him the Heavenly Dao Poison. His simulations revealed that he would delay using it for two thousand years after falling in love with a livestream host, before killing her when she chose another powerful being.

• Lin Xiaofan and Wang Bao condemned the Extraterrestrials for sterilizing humanity and offering compensation, while Ye Fan learned they intended to eliminate people rather than solve society’s problems.
• Ye Fan saw that humanity had slowed down after losing the ability to reproduce, and the Nanobots argued that kindness and morality applied only within one’s own group.
• Wang Bao’s simulations showed that Wenren Sheng would leave the Extraterrestrials alone, so Wang Bao told him that they would eventually sacrifice the Small World’s inhabitants to ascend.
• Wenren Sheng gave Wang Bao a bottle of Heavenly Dao Poison after Wang Bao said he could not foresee Wenren Sheng’s death.
• Wang Bao simulated what happened next and learned that he would postpone using the poison for two thousand years while pursuing a romance with a livestream host, then kill her after she fell for a powerful being from beyond the heavens.

Wang Bao abandoned his plan to use the Heavenly Dao Poison after falling in love with an Extraterrestrial Woman, while Lin Xiaofan tried and failed to take the poison back. Wenren Sheng learned that their world belonged to a Transformation Spirit Cultivator and began considering how to ascend safely.

• Wang Bao became infatuated with the Extraterrestrial Woman’s broadcast and used the simulator to pursue her until they fell in love.
• Lin Xiaofan and Wenren Sheng watched Wang Bao’s courtship, and Lin Xiaofan tried to poison the woman before Wang Bao’s simulation exposed her plot.
• Wang Bao’s clone persuaded Lin Xiaofan to leave his relationship alone, and Lin Xiaofan’s attempts to distract him with her granddaughters also failed.
• Lin Xiaofan discovered that her Golden Finger’s fortune had been consumed and that humanity’s sterilization threatened its future.
• Wenren Sheng learned from Wang Bao that their world was the Grotto-Heaven World of a Transformation Spirit Cultivator and considered ascension rather than sacrificing Wang Bao or Lin Xiaofan’s Golden Finger.

Wenren Sheng watched the Extraterrestrial twins fail to capture Wang Bao and Lin Xiaofan, then noticed a new Transmigrator whose Golden Finger seemed to reward taunting people. The chapter ended with the quantum network restraining the increasingly powerful newcomer in layers of mattresses while he shouted for the emotionless robots to beat him.

• Wenren Sheng planted eyes on the Extraterrestrial twins, who planned to find Golden Fingers and ascend to the Upper Realm.
• The twins discovered Lin Xiaofan and Wang Bao, but repeated attempts to capture them failed; after Bro sensed impending doom, they gave up pursuing Wang Bao.
• The twins also failed to capture Lin Xiaofan, so they decided to wait for another Golden Finger holder to appear.
• Five hundred years later, Wenren Sheng noticed a new Transmigrator taunting his neighbors and father, while the twins' quantum network flagged his abnormal growth.
• On the eighth day, the quantum network sent robots to wrap the Transmigrator in layers of mattresses, but he kept insulting them and demanding that they beat him.

Bro ascended after the twins sacrificed a Golden Finger, only to discover that the Upper Realm was a harsh place where even powerful cultivators struggled to survive. After learning from Green Cloud Old Ancestor how to live there as a beggar, Twin Bro sent the warning back to his brother, while Wenren Sheng resolved to delay ascending until he had a foolproof plan.

• The twins drew lots, and Bro ascended after the sacrificed Golden Finger reduced his heavenly lightning to a token trial.
• Wang Bao simulated the new situation, realized a Golden Finger could interfere with his deductions, and found that Extraterrestrials were hunting him until he released the Heavenly Dao Poison.
• Wenren Sheng watched through an eye planted on Bro as Bro passed through a void staircase and entered an ancient city filled with powerful cultivators, but no money or place to stay.
• Bro struggled to find work before nightfall, then met Green Cloud Old Ancestor, who explained that he had survived for years by begging and paying tribute.
• Twin Bro changed into beggar's clothes and sent his account of the Upper Realm to his twin, who was relieved he had not ascended.
• Wenren Sheng decided to remain in the Small World until he had a foolproof plan for ascending.
