Chapter Summaries

The Da Xia Immortal Dynasty established friendly contact with the Purple Mist Civilization and connected their populations through a shared communications network. As the starfish began embracing faith in Lin Lin, he started developing a universal cultivation method for alien civilizations called the Transformation Method.

• The Purple Mist Civilization introduced its history, society, and starfish lifeforms, and Lin Lin announced that the two civilizations would communicate under principles of friendship and mutual respect.
• Great Xia built a Planetary Level computer system and a shared network, allowing humans and starfish to meet, exchange information, and grow more comfortable with each other.
• Great Xia citizens introduced the starfish to the Heavenly Emperor Scripture, and the starfish began seeking faith, merit, cultivation, and immortality.
• After a month, faith in Lin Lin had spread through the Purple Mist Civilization, and he sensed the People's Aspirations of more than a trillion starfish.
• Lin Lin began analyzing the starfish in Biological Laboratory 5,200 light-years away and devised a new universal cultivation method called the Transformation Method.

Lin Lin perfected the Transformation Method, enabling starfishes of the Purple Mist Civilization to become human-like members of the Purple Star Clan. The Purple Mist Civilization became a vassal of the Da Xia Immortal Dynasty, while Great Xia retained control over its expansion beyond its home system.

• Lin Lin developed and tested successive versions of the Transformation Method, eventually turning a starfish volunteer into a human child.
• Lin Lin named transformed starfishes the Purple Star Clan and granted them the right to intermarry with humans.
• The final Transformation Method spread through the Purple Mist Civilization, though a small number of nationalist starfishes refused to change form.
• The leader of the Purple Mist Civilization petitioned to join Great Xia, and the Heavenly Emperor accepted it as a vassal civilization with a reserved territory around the Purple Mist Star System.
• Great Xia allowed transformed Purple Star Clan members to apply for citizenship and settle in the Solar System, while its Planetary Level fleet restricted the Purple Mist Civilization to its home system.

Lin Lin received vastly more Humanity's Luck as the Purple Star Clan grew and prayed, while Da Xia expanded its search for alien civilizations. After completing his cultivation system and reaching stellar-level combat power, Lin Lin turned his attention to studying spacetime and developing stargates so Da Xia could reach resources beyond the Milky Way.

• More Purple Star Clan members transformed and began cultivating, increasing their prayers and raising Lin Lin's yearly Humanity's Luck above five hundred strands.
• Da Xia citizens and Purple Star Clan members profited from spreading faith and hoped to find other alien civilizations, so Lin Lin increased funding for the Da Xia Astronomical Academy's probe program.
• By the nine hundredth year of Great Xia, Lin Lin had accumulated enough Essence, Qi, and Spirit to advance his cultivation and expected to need roughly two hundred more years to break through.
• Lin Lin completed his cultivation system and combat techniques, reaching twenty thousand times Planetary Level power normally and stellar-level combat power with his Heaven and Earth Dharma Image.
• With his cultivation research complete, Lin Lin decided to study spacetime and stargates to help Da Xia reach resources beyond the Milky Way.

Lin Lin developed Biological Computers to expand his processing power, using them to create a simulated Aqua Blue Star and dramatically increase his abilities. After producing enough computers to maintain three at full power, he resumed studying spacetime knowledge and began making rapid progress.

• Lin Lin decided to build an external Biological Computer after realizing that his current processing power made exploring spacetime knowledge too slow.
• In 923 of the Da Xia Immortal Calendar, Lin Lin grew a giant brain from his own brain cells and began developing its energy supply and thought circuits.
• By 951, Lin Lin activated the completed Biological Computer and used its vast processing power to create a lifelike Aqua Blue Star around Alpha Centauri.
• Lin Lin recognized the computer's enormous energy demands and ordered stellar-level Spirit Stone mines to increase production while he began making ten more Biological Computers.
• After equipping the Biological Computers and rotating their use to keep three running at full power, Lin Lin returned to high-dimensional study and rapidly advanced his understanding of spacetime.

Lin Lin presided over the completion of Great Xia’s Human Realm, opening thousands of Garden Planets for residents and public use. Great Xia then completed stellar-engine technology and began building the Immortal Realm, where abundant Heaven and Earth Essence Qi left Lin Lin able to unleash far greater power.

• Zhao Heng showed Lin Lin the completed Human Realm, with 36,500 Garden Planets prepared to house over one million billion people.
• Lin Lin declared the Human Realm complete and consecrated it with spiritual rain, after which citizens used merit to choose homes on the newly opened planets.
• Great Xia opened 20,000 residential planets and reserved the rest for public facilities, agriculture, industry, and other purposes; most citizens chose apartments.
• The Investigation of Things Academy successfully tested Stellar Engine technology by transporting a star from the Alpha Centauri Star System near the Solar System.
• Great Xia transported 365 stars and arranged them into a Starfield-Level Zhou Tian Star Array to supply the Heavenly Court with Heaven and Earth Essence Qi.
• In the year 1080 of Great Xia, Lin Lin experienced the completed Immortal Realm’s abundant energy and concluded that he could unleash immense power there.

After completing the Immortal Realm, Lin Lin organized its living areas and celebrated moving in with his family, ministers, and citizens. He later began his breakthrough into the Heaven and Human Realm, encountered Humanity's Consciousness, and received its greatest blessing, unleashing world-creating power.

• Lin Lin assessed the Immortal Realm's benefits and his combat power, then accepted Lin Sixue's advice and divided the Heavenly Palace's Heaven and Earth Essence Qi into zones for visitors, cultivators, and residents.
• Lin Yue proposed a housewarming celebration, and Lin Lin opened a free feast to Great Xia Citizens before returning to the Jade Pool with the Heavenly Consorts.
• Lin Lin met Xia Mingyue, who explained that Su Minghua had invited her to become a Heavenly Consort, and then resumed secluded cultivation.
• After his Myriad Phenomena Body and other foundations reached their limits, Lin Lin merged his Myriad Aspects Sword Dao with Heaven and Earth to break into the Heaven and Human Realm.
• Lin Lin encountered Humanity's Consciousness in the fifth dimension and received its highest blessing, which released a terrifying world-creating power within him.

Lin Lin broke through to the Heaven and Human Realm, transforming his Myriad Phenomena Body into a Chaos Body and gaining immense strength, longevity, and mastery of higher-dimensional vital energy. He developed a way to draw in that energy and realized Humanity's Consciousness had transferred much of humanity's rank and fortune to him, prompting a bold idea.

• Humanity's Consciousness empowered Lin Lin as his Three Souls and Seven Spirits united, his Myriad Phenomena Body evolved, and the Da Xia Immortal Dynasty expanded its energy infrastructure to support his cultivation.
• Beginning in the year 1200 of Da Xia, Lin Lin underwent more than ten thousand Nirvana rebirths as Yin and Yang merged into Chaos Qi, forming his Chaos Body and Chaos Primordial Spirit.
• Lin Lin assessed his new strength, regeneration, and lifespan, then created the secret art Grand Void Essence Qi to draw higher-dimensional vital energy.
• Lin Lin considered how scholars could use vacuum zero-point energy to increase Spirit Stone production and develop probes for expansion into surrounding space.
• Lin Lin realized Humanity's Consciousness had given him much of humanity's rank and fortune, and he concluded that whoever controlled it controlled the human race.
• Lin Lin conceived a bold idea about Humanity's Consciousness.

Lin Lin discovered that he could become the Incarnation of Humanity by accumulating Humanity’s Luck, and found that praying to himself could generate the aspirations needed. As Great Xia developed and integrated the Purple Star Clan, its probes discovered another extraterrestrial civilization near the Milky Way’s edge.

• Lin Lin calculated that he needed roughly two trillion more strands of Humanity’s Luck to become the Incarnation of Humanity, far beyond what he could gather naturally within his lifespan.
• Lin Lin discovered that he could pray to himself to generate People’s Aspirations and estimated that he could accumulate enough Humanity’s Luck in three hundred years.
• The Immortal Realm and Great Xia’s projects expanded while the Heavenly Emperor cultivated, and scholars developed Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures useful to Transformation God Realm cultivators.
• More than thirty billion Purple Star Clan members arrived in the Human Realm in 1320 and gradually integrated into Great Xia as equals.
• By 1340, Great Xia’s population had reached 420 billion, and expeditionary probes discovered traces of another extraterrestrial civilization 13,700 light-years away.

Lin Sixue oversaw Great Xia’s discovery and long-term observation of the primitive Great Cat Civilization while Lin Lin waited to accumulate enough Humanity’s Luck to become the Incarnation of Humanity. Great Xia rose to Level Three Civilization, and in Great Xia Year 1500 Lin Lin began his transformation.

• Lin Sixue designated the Great Cat Civilization’s star system as Civilization Observation Zone No. 1 and ordered long-term observation before deciding whether its inhabitants could join Great Xia or would become pets.
• Lin Sixue visited Lin Lin, who said he needed to wait another two hundred and twenty years before becoming the Incarnation of Humanity, and asked him about the realms beyond Divine Transformation.
• Lin Lin outlined the path through Void Refinement and Integration to the Heaven and Human Realm, then advised Lin Sixue to master her Myriad Aspects Sword Dao before advancing.
• Great Xia’s probes found more than ten extraterrestrial civilizations, but none had developed intelligent beings beyond the Great Cat Civilization.
• Great Xia popularized vacuum zero-point energy in Great Xia Year 1420 and became a Level Three Civilization by Great Xia Year 1500, accumulating Humanity’s Luck faster than Lin Lin had expected.
• After reviewing the process, Lin Lin began becoming the Incarnation of Humanity in Great Xia Year 1500.

Lin Lin successfully merged with Humanity's Consciousness and became the Incarnation of Humanity, gaining rapid cultivation through the civilization's growth. He used his new authority to establish Humanity Merit and began adding revival and information-retrieval functions to Humanity's Consciousness.

• Lin Lin endured humanity's opposing thoughts and mental attacks as he merged with Humanity's Consciousness, with Humanity's Luck helping him complete the fusion.
• Lin Lin discovered that Creation Power from cultivators, civilization, and the dead nourished his cultivation, while Humanity's Luck helped him maintain his position and fulfill his protective duties.
• Humanity's Consciousness awakened across the Da Xia Immortal Dynasty and the Purple Star Clan, and a new identity panel introduced Incense Merit and Humanity Merit.
• Lin Lin rewarded cultivation and research with Humanity Merit, giving citizens access to resources and encouraging them to contribute to civilization.
• Lin Lin began connecting the Reincarnation Department to Humanity's Consciousness so people killed unexpectedly could be revived, and created the Deduce Heavenly Secrets spell to retrieve recorded information.

Lin Lin expanded Humanity into a network that could pool citizens’ brainpower, sell knowledge, provide emergency protection, and enforce Great Xia’s laws. After strengthening humanity’s development and security, he turned to the problem of controlling his own rapidly increasing power.

• Lin Lin made Deduce Heavenly Secrets available to citizens, with three free deductions per day and additional use costing Humanity Merit.
• Lin Lin tested Humanity’s ability to borrow citizens’ idle brainpower, then launched Sell Brainpower so people could exchange it for Incense Merit.
• Lin Lin introduced Knowledge Purchase to transfer knowledge into users’ minds and launched Heavenly Emperor’s Descent as an emergency protection service.
• Lin Lin decided to incorporate law enforcement, legal records, academic evaluations, and cultivation-resource qualifications into Humanity, then began building the system.
• Lin Lin finished expanding the Humanity Network and began considering how to control the immense power his cultivation would bring.

Lin Lin used Humanity’s support and a new generation of Biological Computers to expand his cultivation, develop advanced Spirit Stones, and study spacetime. In 1994, he noticed space rippling around a Starfield-Level Spirit Stone Mine eight thousand light-years from the Immortal Realm.

• Lin Lin calculated that Humanity’s offerings could bring his Chaos Body and Chaos Primordial Spirit to grand completion far sooner, and devised body enlargement as a fallback if his power outgrew his capacity to contain it.
• Lin Lin decided to study spacetime and use his brain cells to upgrade the Biological Computer.
• In 1650, Lin Lin completed and mass-produced thirty Second-Generation Biological Computers, greatly increasing his intelligence and combat ability.
• Lin Lin created Primal Chaos Spirit Stones and Chaos Spirit Stones, then ordered automated mines to produce them and adjusted the Immortal Realm’s supply of advanced primordial energy.
• Lin Lin spent more than three hundred years studying spacetime before noticing violent ripples in space around a remote Starfield-Level Spirit Stone Mine in 1994.

Lin Lin completed Star Gate Technology, then redesigned his Golden Core and Heaven and Earth Dharma Image to increase his power capacity. By turning 129,600 Potential Doors into Dantian Qi Seas and condensing Grotto-Heaven Golden Cores within them, he began cultivating the new Grotto-Heaven Realm.

• Lin Lin opened a Star Gate to a star eight thousand light-years away, but a positioning error tore apart the star and destroyed it.
• Lin Lin corrected his calculations, successfully opened a Star Gate to the Milky Way's edge, and returned to the Da Xia Immortal Dynasty.
• Lin Lin handed Star Gate Technology's refinement to the Great Xia Investigation of Things Academy and turned back to cultivation.
• Lin Lin replaced his outdated Antimatter Golden Core and Heaven and Earth Dharma Image with new structures, raising his power capacity limit from 1.04 to 3.
• Lin Lin anchored his 129,600 Potential Doors in the three-dimensional world and began turning them into Dantian Qi Seas containing Grotto-Heaven Golden Cores.
• Lin Lin named the realm beyond the Heaven and Human Realm the Grotto-Heaven Realm as he continued condensing its Golden Cores.

Star Gate Technology transformed the Da Xia Immortal Dynasty’s expansion, travel, spatial equipment, magic treasures, and alchemy, while a Milky Way survey found no other advanced civilizations beyond those already known. Lin Lin then examined a mutated Cinnabar Fruit that Shi Qiang had been cultivating as a medicinal treasure, only to discover it was developing intelligence and a True Spirit.

• Da Xia perfected Star Gate Technology, opened a route to the Taiyin Star System, and sent intelligent machinery to develop its resources while preparing to expand toward Andromeda.
• Star Gates linked planets in the Human and Immortal Realms, and spatial technology spread storage equipment, compact magic treasures, and pills with greatly enhanced medicinal effects.
• Lin Lin allocated magic treasures to his Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, while scholars who developed the new pill-refinement method received merit rewards.
• In 2051, Da Xia completed its preliminary Milky Way exploration and found no other advanced civilizations besides Da Xia and the Purple Mist Civilization; the Great Cat Civilization and primitive ecosystems were also present.
• Shi Qiang showed Lin Lin a giant Vermilion Fruit Tree whose enormous Cinnabar Fruit was developing a True Spirit, explaining that a mutation had turned the intended medicinal treasure into a new intelligent life-form.
• Lin Lin wondered whether the Cinnabar Fruit should be considered a plant demon, as Shi Qiang’s discovery raised questions about how Da Xia should treat it under laws protecting intelligent life.

Shi Guo'er emerged from the Cinnabar Fruit, joined humanity as the first member of the Vermilion Fruit Clan, and began helping Shi Qiang repay the resources used to raise her. Lin Lin considered ways to accelerate his cultivation while Great Xia expanded into nearby starfields, until a spatial gate opened in his Crystal Palace and a mangled humanoid creature fell through.

• Lin Lin told Shi Qiang to teach the Cinnabar Fruit cultivation and the Transformation Method, and Shi Qiang continued the experiment while educating it.
• In 2100 of the Da Xia Immortal Calendar, Shi Guo'er emerged from the Vermilion Fruit Tree, thanked Shi Qiang, and chose to join humanity.
• Shi Qiang told Shi Guo'er that the Heavenly Emperor had granted her ten thousand years to repay her resources and named her people the Vermilion Fruit Clan.
• Lin Lin assessed his progress toward the Grotto-Heaven Realm, concluded that he had no immediate way to speed up his cultivation, and began studying spacetime while waiting for change.
• Great Xia expanded into nearby starfields and increased its resources as the years passed to 2333 of the Da Xia Immortal Calendar.
• A spatial gate opened inside Lin Lin's Crystal Palace, and a humanoid creature fell out and shattered on the floor.

Ji Qingyu shattered the void to ascend from his small world, but his body was destroyed in spatial turbulence and he was reborn in the Da Xia Immortal Dynasty. Lin Lin saw the small world as a chance to advance his research into spacetime and create secure worlds for Great Xia, while Ji Qingyu learned how vast the higher realm was and resolved to start over without pride.

• Ji Qingyu announced his ascent to the disciples of Divine Sword Manor, cleaved open the void, and entered the passage to the higher realm.
• Lin Lin identified the injured ascender as Ji Qingyu, explained the small world he came from to Lin Sixue, Lin Yue, and Zhang Fei, and opened a view into it.
• Lin Lin assigned Lin Sixue to arrange for Ji Qingyu and the small world's hundred million inhabitants, then focused his research on the world's structure and laws.
• Lin Lin realized that studying the small world could help him create worlds inside his Chaos Body cells and develop safe refuges for Great Xia's people.
• Ji Qingyu awoke in an Artificial Womb with a new body and learned about the Da Xia Immortal Dynasty and the Heavenly Emperor's achievements.
• Ji Qingyu recognized that his old accomplishments were insignificant in the higher realm and resolved to begin anew without arrogance.

Lin Lin mastered the creation of small worlds, learned more about the universe, and began planning a new cultivation path. As humanity completed the Humanity World, an anomalous reincarnation appeared, and Lin Lin suspected You Dong.

• Humanity developed Space Sensing Devices and began searching for hidden small worlds, while Lin Lin set laws requiring authorization before anyone interfered with them.
• Explorers found more than a hundred small worlds, triggering a gold rush and renewed interest in academic study.
• In 2678, Lin Lin created a stable small world, then watched it collapse and used the experiment to understand the structure and boundaries of the greater universe.
• Lin Lin planned to open small worlds inside his Chaos Body cells and eventually transform his body into a divine kingdom of crystalline walls.
• Humanity completed the Humanity World in 2995 and began preparing to move its planets and stars into it.
• A newborn on a Reincarnation Planet developed abnormally, and Lin Lin wondered if the anomaly was You Dong.

Lin Lin discovered that You Dong, his childhood friend from his previous life, had also transmigrated and arranged to be reborn alongside him in the Da Xia Immortal Dynasty. You Dong awoke as a child, learned about the civilization, and moved into a Growth Institute apartment with Lin Lin and their new roommates, Zhao Qingshu and Li Yu.

• Lin Lin recognized You Dong's True Spirit and used the Attribute Panel to learn that Miracle Power had guided him across universes.
• Lin Lin created an incarnation to grow up alongside You Dong and help him adapt to the new world.
• You Dong awoke in a child's body, reunited with Lin Lin, and learned that they had arrived in the Da Xia Immortal Dynasty.
• You Dong absorbed information about Great Xia's society and praised His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor.
• Lin Lin and You Dong traveled to a Growth Institute on Aqua Blue Star and settled into a spacious shared apartment.
• Zhao Qingshu and Li Yu introduced themselves, and You Dong invited them to share a meal.

You Dong experienced daily life in the Da Xia Immortal Dynasty, from family meals and sightseeing to the start of school, where Lin Lin guided him through its education system. After a demanding first day of classes and cultivation, You Dong heard a mysterious “ding” sound during his fist practice, leaving his cheat ability undiscovered.

• You Dong, Lin Lin, and the two girls ate nourishing Medicinal Cuisine, then explored a playground and toured Aqua Blue Star in an Atmospheric Aircraft.
• Lin Lin explained the fifteen-year school system as the family rode to school, and You Dong began learning through Humanity Network downloads.
• You Dong quickly learned basic Da Xia writing but became exhausted from studying, so Lin Lin gave him medicinal snacks to restore his strength.
• You Dong wondered aloud about receiving a cheat ability, but decided that living in the Da Xia Immortal Dynasty was already fortunate enough.
• You Dong completed a Body Strengthening Fist set in physical education and heard an inexplicable “ding” sound.

You Dong revealed his All Heavens Mall system to Lin Lin and asked him to fund its activation. After Lin Lin received nearly half the mall’s shares and learned its abilities, the two began planning how to develop it.

• Lin Lin brought You Dong into a private dream, where You Dong revealed his All Heavens Mall system and asked for one hundred Top-Grade Spirit Stones to activate it.
• Lin Lin initially accused You Dong of making up the system, then gave him the Spirit Stones after You Dong insisted it was real.
• You Dong activated the All Heavens Mall, brought Lin Lin to its empty platform, and granted him 49% of its shares in return for the activation capital.
• Lin Lin gained access to the Equivalent Exchange rule and a new Rule Panel that displayed his cultivation progress in Power, Humanity, and Equivalent Exchange.
• Lin Lin examined the mall’s merchant-search, teleportation, and wish-making functions, then proposed attracting merchants, building up Equivalent Exchange power, and expanding the mall.
• Lin Lin speculated that Miracle Power became the form its host most desired and helped the host grow toward or beyond its level.
