Chapter Summaries

Yu Sheng'an completed a mystical Internet Divine Art, hoping it would earn Source Essence and eventually help him return to Blue Star. After Lucia tested it, she praised the invention but privately doubted that ordinary people would use it.

• Yu Sheng'an activated the completed Mithril Ring and saw the Internet interface appear on a Phantom Scroll.
• Yu Sheng'an recalled how Thorne had summoned him from Blue Star and transferred the Contract Godhead to him while fleeing the Five Great Gods.
• Yu Sheng'an considered how to gain power and Source Essence, then decided to use the Contract Godhead to create a social platform modeled on the Blue Star Internet.
• Yu Sheng'an called Lucia and gave her the Mithril Ring to test his new Divine Art.
• Lucia activated the Internet and found its interface ingenious, but she privately thought it would only appeal to the wealthy.

Yu Sheng'an scattered Mithril Rings across Willis City to promote the Internet Divine Art, but users rejected it because they feared gods would watch them. After realizing that fear was the obstacle, he thought of a solution, while Lucia later logged in and discovered new Forum and Library buttons.

• Yu Sheng'an sent a hundred Mithril Rings to random locations in Willis City and watched their first users activate, reject, or dismantle them.
• A young girl enjoyed the Internet Divine Art, but her brother stopped her because he feared using it would draw a god's attention.
• Yu Sheng'an realized that fear of divine surveillance was preventing people from using the Internet Divine Art and thought of a solution.
• Lucia stayed away from Yu Sheng'an, then grew lonely and bored in the Ancient Castle.
• Lucia activated her Mithril Ring and found new Forum and Library buttons on the Internet Divine Art interface.

After being humiliated for having only third-stage Soul Power, Justin discovered the Internet Divine Art and its Library, which offered cultivation knowledge in exchange for Points earned by introducing others. Reading the Forum inspired him to leave his family and pursue any path that might let him grow stronger.

• Justin was mocked after his Soul Power test revealed he had reached only the third stage at age sixteen, and he left the ancestral hall feeling crushed by his father's disappointment.
• A Mithril Ring struck Justin outside, and he brought it home and activated the Divine Art engraved on it.
• Justin found a Phantom Scroll with a Library of Magic, Divine Art, Battle Qi, and other knowledge, but advanced methods required Points earned by promoting the Internet Divine Art.
• Justin opened the Forum and read posts from people across the world, including discussions of magic, mercenary work, and remarkable adventures.
• Inspired by the possibilities he saw, Justin decided to leave his family and earn Points so he could pursue whichever cultivation path suited him.

Yu Sheng'an realized users could help promote the Internet Divine Art and summoned Lucia to discuss the Forum. As Lucia praised his growing reach, Yu Sheng'an witnessed Morm and an entire village worshipping the Great God of the Internet.

• Yu Sheng'an decided that users themselves could help make the Forum lively and summoned Lucia.
• Lucia said she had browsed the Forum and recognized the Library's importance, while reflecting on how quickly Yu Sheng'an's Divine Art had spread.
• Yu Sheng'an dismissed Lucia's congratulations, saying the Divine Art still had a long way to go.
• Yu Sheng'an showed Lucia a scene through Divine Perspective, where Morm knelt before offerings as villagers bowed behind him.
• Morm pledged his loyalty to the Great God of the Internet on behalf of his barren village.

Morm discovered that the Internet Divine Art gave his impoverished village access to knowledge and magic, and Yu Sheng'an rewarded his devotion. Yu Sheng'an asked Lucia to help users on the Forum, where she eagerly joined in and found her spell debate highlighted.

• Morm used the Internet Divine Art to find free cultivation knowledge and discovered that a village child could cast a small fireball.
• Morm pledged loyalty to the God of the Internet and promised to gather village wealth to spread the Internet Divine Art.
• Yu Sheng'an noticed Morm's devotion and granted him a thousand Points, then asked Lucia to answer users' questions on the Forum without revealing the Divine Palace.
• Lucia began posting, asking questions, and debating a user about Magic until other users verified her explanation and her opponent conceded.
• Lucia saw that the Forum Rules Guide had been pinned and highlighted, and that her argument thread had also been highlighted.

Desova, a proud Magic Apprentice, was humbled when an unknown mage disproved his argument on the Internet Forum and revealed that his academy had withheld advanced magical knowledge. The debate changed his view of the Internet Divine Art and convinced him that the God of the Internet was benevolent, while Lucia separately wondered whether a new forum feature had appeared because of her argument; the chapter ended with Desova’s friend Lides asking if the Pinned Featured Post was his.

• Lucia saw the Pinned Featured Post and wondered whether it had appeared because of her argument, though she dismissed the thought as coincidence.
• Desova had obtained the Internet Divine Art as a collectible, then explored its public knowledge and Forum after learning that new content had appeared.
• Desova answered a question about magic and argued with someone who challenged his explanation across hundreds of replies.
• The other user showed that Desova’s argument failed in advanced magic and explained that the academy had withheld the Aibis Formula until students reached the Archmage realm.
• Desova reconsidered the academy and the Internet Divine Art, imagining his opponent as a benevolent Grand Archmage and deciding that the God of the Internet was broad-minded.
• Lides rushed in and asked Desova whether the Forum’s Pinned Featured Post was his.

Desova’s defeat in a magic debate drew Felix Magic Academy’s students to the Internet, where they discovered a vast library of magic knowledge and an active forum. As the Internet’s influence spread, Dean Dendall ordered the Academy to counter it, while the Grand Archmages remained divided over its value.

• Desova’s friends spread news of his defeat, prompting students to use the Internet Divine Art and discover the Internet’s Library and Forum.
• Magic Apprentices found new sources of magic knowledge and received help from the forum user Young and Heartless, whose explanations helped them advance.
• Grand Archmages met under Dendall to debate whether the Internet Divine Art should be banned, and Lucian argued that it could strengthen the Empire and identify talented mages.
• Dendall ordered the Academy to explain why it withheld the Aibis Formula, forbid students from using the Internet Divine Art, and publish low-level magic knowledge from the Mage Tower.

Lucia urged Yu Sheng'an to respond to Felix Magic Academy’s Internet ban, and he weighed how to defend the Internet without needlessly provoking the Kevil Empire. A new Internet feature appeared just as Desova’s confrontation with his mentor escalated at Felix, leaving the students staring at an Online Course icon.

• Lucia told Yu Sheng'an that Felix Magic Academy had forbidden its students from accessing the Internet, then explained how much she valued helping them on the Forum.
• Yu Sheng'an asked Lucia for her view, and she advised him to spread Divine Art peacefully without making enemies of the academy.
• Yu Sheng'an refused to surrender Felix's students, arguing that unlimited concessions would invite further hostility.
• In a Magic Rune Class, Desova challenged Mentor Brad over the academy’s failure to teach the Aibis Formula and declared that he would leave Felix.
• Brad warned Desova that Internet advice could not replace proper instruction, but Desova received an Internet update and displayed a new Online Course icon to the class.

The launch of Internet Magic Academy shocked Felix Magic Academy and threatened the Kevil Empire’s control over magical education. At an emergency meeting, Lucian demonstrated that the God of the Internet answered prayers and that the Empire could not easily suppress the service, leaving the Magic Gods questioning whether the being came from another world.

• Desova announced that Internet Magic Academy had opened, and students discovered its instructors, free basic courses, and Points-based lessons.
• Brad saw the academy’s announcement and rushed to report it, while Dendall called an emergency meeting of the Empire’s mages.
• The mages debated banning the Internet, expelling its followers, or killing the God of the Internet, but Lucian argued that suppression was already too late.
• Lucian crushed his Mithril Ring, prayed to the great being from Azure Star, and showed the assembled mages that the God of the Internet answered directly.
• Lucian revealed that anonymous posting had closed off the Forum’s remaining loophole, and Magic God Zimor questioned whether the God of the Internet came from their world.

Three of the Kevil Empire’s Four Pillars arranged to meet the God of the Internet, while the Internet’s influence spread through the Mage’s Hat Tavern. Desova gave away his Mithril Ring and prepared to leave, just as a group of noble mages arrived.

• Dendall summoned the Internet and received a message from the God of the Internet agreeing to meet him and his companions at the Mage’s Hat Tavern.
• At the tavern, Desova reflected on leaving Willis City after his disgrace at Felix Magic Academy.
• The bartender and a young mercenary demonstrated the magic they had learned through the Internet, prompting patrons to discuss its lessons, services, and growing popularity.
• Commander Hariman announced that he had been approved as an Online Course instructor, and the tavern patrons praised the God of the Internet.
• Desova gave his Mithril Ring to a young man who lacked Internet access, then stood to leave as noble mages entered the tavern.

Yu Sheng'an intervened when Magic Apprentices tried to persuade Desova not to leave Felix Magic Academy, and Dorothy attacked him over the Mithril Ring she had given Desova. After Yu Sheng'an scolded them both, Magic God Dendall entered the tavern, and Dorothy appealed to her grandfather to punish Yu Sheng'an.

• Dorothy and the other Magic Apprentices urged Desova to apologize to his instructor and remain at Felix, while Yu Sheng'an watched as Desova struggled with the decision to leave.
• Dorothy noticed her Mithril Ring on Yu Sheng'an's hand and accused him of leading Desova astray, then attacked him with Scorching Ray.
• Desova blocked Dorothy's spell with a Rock Barrier, and Yu Sheng'an rebuked Dorothy and Desova over the ring.
• The Magic Apprentices restrained Dorothy as she threatened Yu Sheng'an, but they turned hostile when he refused to leave.
• Desova recognized Dean Dendall as he entered the tavern, and Dorothy called on her grandfather to stand up for her against Yu Sheng'an.

Yu Sheng'an confronted Dendall over the Kevil Empire’s attempt to restrict the Online Course, arguing that the Internet could expand access to magic rather than threaten it. Dendall feared that wider magical power would bring unrest, leaving the two at odds over the Empire’s future.

• Dendall apologized to Yu Sheng'an for Dorothy’s behavior, and Dorothy realized she had offended someone powerful.
• Yu Sheng'an questioned why the Empire had not monitored Mage's Hat, and Dendall said its lack of interference was a gesture of goodwill.
• Dendall asked Yu Sheng'an to shut down the Online Course’s Magic Section in exchange for permission to spread Divine Art, but Yu Sheng'an refused to accept the Empire’s authority over it.
• Yu Sheng'an challenged the mages to study the Internet as a possible new path to magic and said it could let everyone practice magic.
• Dendall warned that broader access to magic would cause conflict, defiance of the Empire, and possibly an Internet Cult, and Yu Sheng'an laughed as he understood the Empire’s fear.

Yu Sheng'an warned Dendall that spreading the Internet and Magic across the Kevil Empire would bring upheaval but also make the Empire stronger, more prosperous, and more influential. He gave Dendall three days to accept his help, then left the tavern and confronted Dorothy about her earlier attempt to kill him.

• Yu Sheng'an described how widespread cultivation would draw farmers away from the land and create disorder before transforming the Empire's agriculture, government, military, and territorial power.
• Yu Sheng'an predicted that Felix Magic Academy would use free Online Courses to attract students and expand the Kevil Empire's influence abroad.
• Dendall accused Yu Sheng'an of bewitching him, and Yu Sheng'an offered help if Dendall accepted the price, giving him three days to decide.
• Yu Sheng'an left the negotiation and found that Desova and Dorothy were still in the tavern.
• Dorothy apologized for offending Yu Sheng'an, and he asked whether she had intended to kill him earlier.

Yu Sheng'an left the Mage's Hat and was attacked on Fire Phoenix Avenue, but he survived and learned the assailant was a Flesh Clone. Dendall admitted he had arranged the test and decided the Kevil Empire should negotiate a Contract with the God of the Internet.

• Dendall said he would pursue a Contract with Yu Sheng'an, and reassured Bethany and Zimor that the Kevil Empire could remain the Magic Kingdom.

After surviving an assassination attempt, Yu Sheng'an used his Divine Projection as bait to expose hidden threats in Willis City while searching through Divine Perspective. His search revealed a group of con artists exploiting poor youths with fake Magic lessons, and Demons closed in on them as the chapter ended.

• Yu Sheng'an recovered from the attack, suspected a traitor or another god was stirring up conflict, and decided to use his exposed projection as bait in Willis City.
• Yu Sheng'an returned his consciousness to his true body and searched through nearby users, discovering several people running a fraudulent Magic school.
• Pous paid for lessons from Mentor Raymond and gathered other Slum youths to pool their money for a handwritten Magic book.
• Mentor Raymond and his accomplices sold the youths their books, then tried to flee after warning them to keep their studies secret.
• Demons appeared at both exits of the basement, trapping Mentor Raymond's group and terrifying the youths.

Yu Sheng'an exposed Redmond and his companions as frauds who sold stolen Internet Magic knowledge without spreading the Internet Divine Art. He bound them by contract to serve as missionaries, then Pous asked if he could become a believer of the God of the Internet.

• Raymond and his two companions tried to escape, but a Horned Demon easily knocked them down.
• Yu Sheng'an reassured the terrified youths, then forced Redmond and the others to confess that they had copied free Internet Magic knowledge and sold it as their own courses.

• Yu Sheng'an explained that he punished Redmond for taking Internet resources without spreading Internet Divine Art, then recruited him into the Penance Group.
• Redmond, his two companions, and their lookout signed Contract Documents binding them to Yu Sheng'an.
• As Yu Sheng'an prepared to leave, Pous asked if he could become a believer of the God of the Internet.

Pous discovered the Internet, embraced its free knowledge, and sought work to help his family while beginning to believe in the God of the Internet. Seeing Pous struggle at a construction site, Yu Sheng'an offered to hire Felix's wood-element Magic Apprentices to develop better crops.

• Pous gave his mother the Copper coins he had earned, then secretly summoned the Internet and spent the night exploring it.
• Pous decided to tell his friends about the Internet and apply for construction work, where he began carrying bricks and rubble for wages.
• Yu Sheng'an watched Pous browse the Internet and used Source Essence to extend his access, then learned that Pous's family could not afford breakfast.
• Dendall explained that the Empire prioritized magical plants and used city mages to bring rain, while Yu Sheng'an criticized its failure to improve food production.
• Yu Sheng'an asked Dendall to assign him Felix's wood-element Magic Apprentices so he could cultivate hardier, higher-yield crops, leaving Dendall surprised.

Yu Sheng'an and Dendall negotiated an agreement between the God of the Internet and the Kevil Empire, settling three conditions for each side. They signed a cooperation agreement, and Dendall asked to see the Official Website Yu Sheng'an had mentioned.

• Dendall concealed Willis City from Yu Sheng'an's Divine Perspective and demanded that the God of the Internet avoid establishing churches, interfering in politics, and spying on mages or Internet Social information, with all three promises bound by a Contract Document.
• Yu Sheng'an accepted Dendall's conditions and demanded that the Empire spread the Internet Divine Art to villages and towns, establish free literacy academies within a year, and declare other gods Heretics.

• Yu Sheng'an and Dendall signed a bilateral strategic cooperation agreement, after which the magical barrier around Willis City dissipated.
• Dendall asked Yu Sheng'an what the Official Website looked like.

Dendall and the Magic Gods secured the Kevil Empire’s nominal authorization to cooperate with the God of the Internet, and the Empire began rolling out the Internet Divine Art and literacy schools. In Tuwa City, Grand Mage Theodore saw how the new official website could centralize power and reshape the Empire, then chose to welcome the changes.

• Theodore saw new opportunities for capable youths from humble backgrounds and praised the God of the Internet.

The Internet’s spread reached the Slums, where a boy’s claim that commoners could learn Magic was mocked until he invoked the God of the Internet and summoned a Phantom Scroll. Elsewhere, commoners gathered to learn, and an elderly couple used Internet Divine Art to speak with their son, ending by wondering how to worship the God of the Internet.
