Chapter Summaries

Lin Xiao earned the provincial elites’ acceptance after defeating Shang Xiaoxue, then learned that Wu Zhonglin, a fellow student from Dongning City, ranked on the Heaven’s Pride List’s deputy list. He discovered Wu Zhonglin had also been invited to the Super Freshman Summer Camp, where they would meet.

• Lin Xiao’s Naga defeated Shang Xiaoxue’s Centaurs, and Gu Cheng welcomed Lin Xiao into the group while Tang Ling challenged him to a future duel.
• Lin Xu helped Lin Xiao register with the group’s teacher and settle into a villa dormitory at No. 1 High School.
• Shang Xiaoxue invited Lin Xiao to fight again, then asked whether Lin Xiao knew Wu Zhonglin.
• Lin Xiao searched Wu Zhonglin’s name and discovered that he ranked on the Heaven’s Pride List’s deputy list.
• Bai Ze explained that Wu Zhonglin had been specially recruited by War Throne and would attend the Super Freshman Summer Camp.

After seeing the growth of his Divine Domain, Lin Xiao established a church under Slarda and prepared to use the Super Freshman Summer Camp to advance his own strength. He then entered a Virtual Plane with Shang Xiaoxue to spar.

• Lin Xiao learned that Tang Ling had received a special admission offer from War Throne and watched Tang Ling and Bai Ze greet Shen Yuexin and the other girls.
• Lin Xiao returned to his Divine Domain and found that the Naga and Murloc populations had grown under Slarda’s leadership, with faith and food supplies well maintained.
• Lin Xiao appointed Slarda the church’s first Pope, selected twenty believers as priests, and designated three hundred Naga and Murlocs as Holy Paladins.
• Lin Xiao entered the local network and reflected on his growth plan and the opportunities offered by the Super Freshman Summer Camp.
• Lin Xiao and Shang Xiaoxue opened a separate Virtual Plane and set terrain favorable to each side before preparing to spar.

Lin Xiao and Shang Xiaoxue tested their forces across simulated terrain, then Lin Xiao faced Tang Ling’s heavily equipped Minotaurs. Slarda’s bold counterattack briefly threatened the Minotaur hero, but Tang Ling took direct command and turned the battle against him; Lin Xiao’s Murlocs continued fighting despite catastrophic losses.

• Lin Xiao and Shang Xiaoxue deployed their troops on a river plain, where Slarda used the Murlocs’ speed and Thunder Strike to seize the river and stalemate the Centaurs.
• Lin Xiao and Shang Xiaoxue tested different troop deployments across several simulated terrains, then Lin Xiao invited others to join their challenges.
• Tang Ling entered with more than three thousand fully equipped Minotaurs, who overwhelmed the Murlocs in a one-sided battle.
• Slarda led the Reserves and nearly two hundred Naga in a sudden charge, breaking through the Minotaur ranks and striking their hero.
• Tang Ling took command of his kinfolk and used his god’s-eye view to trap Slarda and reverse the counterattack.
• Lin Xiao’s Murlocs suffered more than seventy percent casualties but kept fighting without collapsing.

After reviewing his losses to Tang Ling, Bai Ze, and Lin Xu, Lin Xiao realized that better weapons or a blacksmith class could help his Kinfolk compete. He joined the other invited students aboard an aircraft bound for the Super Freshman Summer Camp, entering Subspace through a Cross-Realm Gate.

• Lin Xiao concluded that his Murlocs lacked weapons and equipment, then dismissed Tang Ling’s hostile glare and spoke with Bai Ze, Lin Xu, and Shen Yuexin.
• Lin Xiao challenged Bai Ze’s Snake-Men and Lin Xu’s prairie Half-elves, suffering crushing defeats while learning about ranged tactics.
• After two days of simulated battles, Lin Xiao received orders from the team leader to gather for the Summer Camp departure.
• Lin Xiao boarded the silver-white aircraft with the other students, and the team leader warned them to restrain their power before the ship entered the Cross-Realm Gate.
• The aircraft crossed into Subspace, where Lin Xiao learned about its nature and how the Main World, Subspace, and the Chaotic Void Sea were arranged.

Lin Xiao and the other students arrived at the Human Federation’s enormous Void Fortress, Yan Huang No. 5, to begin the Super Freshman Summer Camp. After registering and reviewing the camp rules, Lin Xiao explored its local network and was stunned by the rare cards listed for sale.

• Lin Xiao woke aboard the aircraft as it crossed the Seven-Colored Sea, then saw the vast Void Fortress Yan Huang No. 5 powered by two gigantic energy vortices.
• The students passed fifteen inspections and disembarked at a restricted platform, where an artificial demigod Divine Monster teleported Lin Xiao to a private room.
• Lin Xiao read and memorized the six Summer Camp rules, then joined the Yunmeng Province student group chat and declined to gather with the others.
• Lin Xiao explored the fortress’s local network and learned that adventurers traded cards using Faith Points or divine power.
• Lin Xiao searched the trading platform for legendary-quality Five-Star Cards and higher, and found pages of legendary, mythical, and unfamiliar divine cards.

Lin Xiao browsed rare cards before preparing for the Super Freshman Summer Camp, where students immediately began competing for seats at the opening ceremony. The chapter left him without a seat, waiting to understand the situation before deciding whether to fight for one.

• Lin Xiao examined the Life Spring Fragment and other Ancient Quality cards on the trading platform, but could not afford them.
• Lin Xu told Lin Xiao that the Summer Camp opening ceremony would begin at nine the next morning and warned him to watch out for tricks and competition.
• Lin Xiao researched the Summer Camp, learned that its changing rules always centered on competition, and went to the assembly hall with Bai Ze and the others.
• A student tried to trip Lin Xiao in the corridor, but both he and Lin Xiao quickly pulled back and exchanged hostile grins.
• Lin Xiao arrived at the assembly hall and saw five tiers of seats, from Golden Thrones at the top to Rock Thrones at the bottom.
• Lin Xiao found that all the seats had been claimed as students began fighting over them, and he chose to wait and assess the situation before acting.

Instructor Mo announced the Summer Camp’s Positioning stage, where students had one week to win and defend a throne or be eliminated. Lin Xiao completed the requirement through arranged forfeits with Lin Xu, then helped Bai Ze and Shang Xiaoxue do the same before surveying the venue’s throne tiers.

• Instructor Mo announced that the 4,158 participants had one week to claim a seat and defeat an opponent, or face elimination.
• Lin Xiao discussed the challenge rules with Bai Ze and Qiao Kaiyuan while the group considered how to help one another meet the requirements.
• Lin Xu proposed that Lin Xiao challenge him and surrender, then let Lin Xu surrender in return so Lin Xiao could take the Black Iron Throne using only two attempts.
• Lin Xiao used the same sequence of arranged forfeits to help Bai Ze and Shang Xiaoxue complete their requirements.
• Lin Xiao wandered through the venue and saw that all nine Golden Thrones at the top tier were occupied.

Lin Xiao watched the Golden and Silver Throne battles and saw how far stronger the Summer Camp elites were than he was. After assessing the gap and resolving to use his remaining card-fusion opportunities to grow stronger, he returned to the dormitory.

• Tang Ling argued with a companion after reversing their plan and demanding that the man waste two challenges to secure him a later opportunity, while Lin Xiao stayed out of the dispute.
• Lin Xiao missed the first Golden Throne battle but saw all nine thrones change hands within five minutes as powerful challengers defeated their occupants.
• Lin Xiao watched Gu Cheng's forces rout their opponents with two Kobold Dragon Vein Sorcerers, then concluded he had no way to counter their destructive magic.
• Lin Xiao spectated a Golden Throne battle in which two Level 6 Steel Golems defeated five Earth Dragon Knights, and he judged himself far below the top students.
• Lin Xiao left the arena, considered how to strengthen himself before later stages, and returned to the dormitory as the seven-day round of challenges continued.

Lin Xiao bought seven relic fragments with Shen Yuexin’s loan and fed them into the Creation Cube, discovering they produced a purer, more powerful form of Creation Energy. He paused before using it, remembering that his goal was to repair the Fate Judgment Scales.

• Lin Xiao surveyed his limited treasures and watched as Shen Yuexin held a Silver Throne while most of the Yunmeng Province students lost their positions.
• Lin Xiao bought two batches of weapons from the trading platform to arm his Kinfolk.
• Lin Xiao borrowed one billion Faith Points from Shen Yuexin and bought all seven relic fragments from a seller.
• Lin Xiao sent Slarda instructions to hold a sacrificial prayer ceremony, then examined the fragments in his Divine Kingdom.
• Lin Xiao fed the fragments into the Creation Cube and found they produced an energy like Creation Energy but seemingly purer and more powerful.
• Lin Xiao stopped to think carefully after the fragments were consumed, remembering that he meant to repair the Fate Judgment Scales.

Lin Xiao used the Creation Cube and the relic fragments’ Creation Energy to fuse several cards and materials, gaining the Propagation Divine Transcendent Power after briefly perceiving the Bottom-Layer Rules of life. He then discovered that his True Name had gained the dangerous segment “Aio” and resolved to keep it secret.

• Lin Xiao used the Creation Cube to fuse his Divine Domain Card with other cards, creatures, and materials, spending all the Creation Energy from the relic fragments.
• The fusion drew Lin Xiao’s consciousness into countless fragments, letting him observe plants and creatures reverse through their life cycles and briefly sense the Bottom-Layer Rules governing birth and propagation.
• Lin Xiao’s Deity panel showed a new Divine Transcendent Power, Propagation, which could guarantee offspring and bless them if its conditions were met.
• Lin Xiao noticed that his True Name had changed from Cyberlex Meyer to Cyberlex Meyer Aio and recognized Aio as the name of two supreme beings.
• Lin Xiao decided never to reveal the added segment unless he could one day reach Great Divine Power.

Lin Xiao fused the Ancient Five-Star Divine Domain Paradise card, transforming his Divine Domain into a thriving environment and boosting the prospects of its inhabitants. He then broke down the Fate Judgment Scales for Creation Energy and began considering whether he could use it to transform his Murlocs.

• Lin Xiao fused Divine Domain Paradise into his Divine Domain, enriching its land and sea, increasing energy and lifespan, and enabling Nature Spirits and extraordinary lifeforms to emerge.
• A dragon-headed turtle hatched in the sea, while the Murlocs and Nagas praised Lin Xiao as the changes strengthened their faith.
• Lin Xiao broke down the Fate Judgment Scales, gaining thirty-four units of Creation Energy and preserving its materialized Fate and Judgment rules inside the Creation Cube.
• After realizing he lacked suitable cards to enhance, Lin Xiao wondered whether Creation Energy could transform his Kinfolk and summoned the Gray Mist Murloc Card for a test.

Lin Xiao used Creation Energy to modify the Gray Mist Fishmen’s genes and create an enhanced Species Card, then loaded it into his Divine Domain. The Murlocs and Naga grew stronger, and Lin Xiao planned to apply further genetic improvements to the Naga.

• Lin Xiao extracted the Gray Mist Fishmen’s Bloodline Source from an old Murloc and studied biological genetics before altering its gene bank with the Creation Cube.
• Lin Xiao removed redundant genes and strengthened the remaining genes to their carrying limit, spending five units of Creation Energy to complete the enhanced Species Card.
• Lin Xiao inspected the new Gray Mist Fishmen template, which granted improved attributes, aquatic traits, and advancement paths for Murloc Warriors.
• Lin Xiao ordered Slarda to gather the Kinfolk at the shore and loaded the Ancient Species Card, allowing both Murlocs and Naga to benefit.
• The Murlocs grew taller and more muscular, while the Naga received a smaller increase in their attributes.

On the final day of the Summer Camp’s first phase, six late-arriving seeded contestants joined the throne challenges, and Wu Zhonglin crushed a Golden Throne holder with his Kobolds. Lin Xiao watched in disbelief before preparing to use his last challenge attempt.

• Lin Xu confirmed a new challenge as students made their final attempts to secure throne seats before the deadline.
• Four of Lin Xiao’s companions challenged for Stone Thrones; three failed, while the fourth succeeded.
• Instructor Mo introduced six seeded contestants, including Wu Zhonglin, whose arrival alarmed the students holding Golden Thrones.
• Lin Xiao watched Wu Zhonglin challenge Tang Ning and saw Wu Zhonglin defeat him in a brief, overwhelming battle.
• Lin Xiao examined Wu Zhonglin’s Kobolds and doubted himself, then resolved to use his remaining challenge attempt.

After watching Wu Zhonglin crush Tang Ning and take a Golden Throne, Lin Xiao spent his last challenge to test his newly enhanced Murlocs against Luo Yichen. His Murlocs overwhelmed Luo Yichen’s forces, proving the enhancement had made them comparable to intermediate races, though their low-level racial ceiling remained.

• Wu Zhonglin defeated Tang Ning with a formation of two hundred Kobold Dragon Vein Sorcerers, and five more challengers soon claimed Golden Thrones.
• Lin Xiao challenged a student on a Stone Throne despite Tang Ling’s mockery, then entered a randomized battle on a grassy plain.
• Lin Xiao deployed fourteen thousand enhanced Murlocs and eight hundred Naga against Luo Yichen’s Werewolves, Gnolls, and Dire Wolf-riding Gnoll cavalry.
• Slarda led the Murlocs in frontal charges that shattered the Gnoll wings, killing more than seventy percent of the opposing troops in the clashes.
• Lin Xiao kept the Naga out of the fight and saw that the five units of Creation Energy he had invested made his Murlocs comparable to most intermediate races, though they remained capped at Level 3.

Lin Xiao defeated Luo Yichen to claim a stone seat, then Tang Ling immediately challenged him and discovered how much stronger Lin Xiao’s Murlocs had become. As their forces crushed Tang Ling’s army, an unseen will in the Virtual Plane decided to mark Lin Xiao as its own.

• Lin Xiao’s fourteen thousand Murlocs defeated Luo Yichen’s Kinfolk, earning him Luo Yichen’s seat and leaving spectators surprised at his strength.
• Lin Xu praised Lin Xiao’s progress, and Shen Yuexin congratulated him while Tang Ling watched jealously and decided to challenge him.
• Tang Ling summoned more than three thousand Minotaurs and thousands of Wasteland Goblins, while Lin Xiao called forth his Murlocs and ordered them to kill the enemy.
• Greater Naga Slarda led the Murlocs in a direct charge, and their superior strength and steel weapons overwhelmed Tang Ling’s forces despite his tactics.
• An unseen will observed Lin Xiao, his evolved Murlocs, and Slarda, then resolved to leave its mark on Lin Xiao.
• Tang Ling watched in disbelief as Lin Xiao’s Kinfolk drove back his army, even without using their strongest skills.

Lin Xiao defeated Tang Ling in the Virtual Plane and kept his throne as the positioning phase ended. After learning about the Summer Camp’s generous rewards, he selected two Myth-quality cards and began planning a deep modification of the Naga genes.

• Tang Ling surrendered after his Murlocs overwhelmed the Minotaurs, and Lin Xiao returned from the Virtual Plane as the winner.
• Four students driven down from Black Iron Level 1 challenged other throne holders and claimed seats without challenging Lin Xiao.
• Instructor Mo announced that the positioning phase had ended and that qualifying students would receive a Golden Myth-quality Five-Star Card and an extra card slot, with throne holders earning additional rewards by rank.
• Lin Xiao learned that throne holders could choose their Myth-quality cards and selected Harsh Environment Adaptation and Greater Fortitude for the Naga.
• Lin Xiao began planning to remove the influence of other species from the Naga genetic library.

Lin Xiao considered purifying the Blackscale Naga’s bloodline and creating an evolutionary path from Murlocs to Naga. After the first-stage eliminations, the surviving students received Subspace source power and learned the brutal team-based rules for the Summer Camp’s second stage, where four mentor teams would compete for ranks and rewards.

• Lin Xiao planned to remove most of the Blackscale Naga’s mixed bloodlines, preserve Murloc genes and selected advantages, and let Murlocs evolve into Naga under certain conditions.
• Instructor Mo dismissed the 1,915 students who had failed the first mission, while Lin Xiao sat on a throne and looked down at the students left standing.
• Yan Huang No. 5 infused the students’ Divine Domains with Subspace source power, stabilizing them and granting each one an additional card slot.
• Instructor Mo announced that ten military and academy representatives would mentor four battle teams through a rank-based stage of challenges, eliminations, and card-slot rewards.
• The ten mentors revealed themselves as powerful True Gods and formed four teams of unequal sizes; Colonel Hong Yunfei and Colonel Xie Yufei introduced themselves as military representatives.

The mentors assigned the Summer Camp students to four teams, and Lin Xiao was unexpectedly chosen by War Throne Team despite his Stone rank. Holy Crystal Team then traded for him, and Raging Flame Team also made an offer, leaving the three teams competing over Lin Xiao.

• The four teams selected students by rank, with Wu Zhonglin joining War Throne Team and Gu Cheng and Lin Xu also receiving invitations.
• A War Throne mentor selected Lin Xiao for the team, while mentors from Holy Crystal and another team took notice of him.
• After all students were assigned, Holy Crystal Team offered War Throne two Black Iron-rank students in exchange for Lin Xiao, and War Throne accepted.
• A Raging Flame Team mentor then announced a desire to trade for Lin Xiao as well, prompting the host to ask both teams to make offers.

Lin Xiao was traded from the War Throne Team to the Raging Flame Team for two Silver students after the Holy Crystal Team withdrew from the bidding. The Summer Camp’s second stage began, and Lin Xiao was teleported with the other students to the Raging Flame Warband’s military camp.

• Holy Crystal and Raging Flame mentors competed to trade for Lin Xiao, while the War Throne mentors set one Silver student as the minimum price.
• The Raging Flame mentor offered two Silver students, and Liu Wuji withdrew the Holy Crystal Team from the bidding.
• The War Throne Team traded Lin Xiao to the Raging Flame Team for two Silver students, replacing the mark above his head with a Burning Flame.
• The host ended the trading period and announced three days of internal team competitions followed by a contest between the four teams.
• Lin Xiao was teleported to a vast military camp, where he saw soldiers watching from platforms and a female Sage Avatar of Colonel Xie arriving.

Xie Yufei announced a brutal real-combat elimination for the Raging Flame Team and singled out ten promising members for tougher missions and extra rewards. After Lin Xiao returned to his dormitory, he entered his Divine Domain and began modifying the Blackscale Naga to prepare for the coming trials.

• Xie Yufei explained the team tiers and warned that members would face real invasions of their Divine Domains, with valuable cards and additional card slots offered as rewards.
• Xie Yufei named ten standout students, including Lin Xiao, and promised them two extra Mythic-quality Five-Star Cards if they endured the elimination; she also warned that she would assign them more demanding missions.
• Shen Yuexin asked why Xie Yufei had selected Lin Xiao, and his joking answer made her blush before she twisted his waist and threatened to tell his grandma.
• Lin Xiao returned to his dormitory, thought about Shen Yuexin, and then entered his Divine Domain to prepare for the elimination.
• Lin Xiao reassured the Naga with a Divine Revelation, decomposed his Mythic Talent and Specialty Cards, and began using Creation Energy to alter the Blackscale Naga gene pool.
