Chapter Summaries

Zhang Zhi returned from Red Mountain Realm with a Merit Auspicious Cloud, drawing the attention of professors at Cloud Mist University. As Professor Huang proposed adding an assessment of the students’ Small Worlds, Zhang Zhi and Liu Wanwan discussed their experiences, while Professor Liu bristled at Yunjing University’s apparent attempt to recruit Zhang Zhi.

• Zhang Zhi returned through the Teleportation Gate with a Merit Auspicious Cloud, and professors noticed that an Elite Realm student possessed it.
• Professor Huang proposed adding an assessment of the Exchange Meeting members’ Small Worlds, and the professors identified Zhang Zhi as the only Elite Realm participant.
• Liu Wanwan told Zhang Zhi she had returned a day earlier and had encountered strange nights and Black Shadows in Ten Thousand Mountains Realm.
• Zhang Zhi told Liu Wanwan he had earned merit by killing powerful Black Shadows, then realized she had not noticed that he had killed a Deity Realm existence.
• Professor Liu became irritated when Professor Huang’s proposal seemed like an attempt by Yunjing University to recruit Zhang Zhi.

Professors from Fengjing University and Yunjing University pushed Cloud Mist University to add a fifth assessment for the Exchange Meeting, while Professor Liu agreed in exchange for support promoting the Cloud Mist Law. Zhang Zhi and Liu Wanwan learned about the new Small World rank assessment and headed to their instructor to find out its details.

• Professor Kong backed Professor Huang's proposal for a fifth assessment, and Professor Liu agreed to add it to the Exchange Meeting.
• Professor Kong praised the Cloud Mist Law's potential to resist the Mind Devourers' Mental Control, and Professor Liu saw an opportunity to promote Cloud Mist University’s path across the Main World.
• Zhang Zhi and Liu Wanwan received notice of the new Small World rank assessment and worried that it might require revealing their Small Worlds.
• Zhang Zhi and Liu Wanwan went to the Seven Dragons Academy instructor, who told them professors from Fengjing University and Yunjing University had requested the assessment.
• Liu Wanwan asked the instructor to confirm that the two top universities had driven the decision.

Zhang Zhi weighed whether to reveal his Small World during the Fifth Assessment, then decided he could impress the university professors without opening its World Gate. As the assessment began, he summoned Fang Yun beside Liu Wanwan.

• A lecturer urged Zhang Zhi to pursue a top-twenty university and explained that the professors would assess his Small World through its World Gate.
• Zhang Zhi worried that revealing the secrets in his Small World could expose him to danger, while Liu Wanwan encouraged him to impress the professors with his Retainers instead.
• Liu Wanwan realized Zhang Zhi might be able to summon a Legendary Realm Retainer and learned that his Small World had become a Large Small World in just over half a year.
• Zhang Zhi decided to participate in the Fifth Assessment without opening his World Gate, and the Fourth Assessment later concluded after two participants were reported dead.
• At the Fifth Assessment, Zhang Zhi took his conspicuous place beside Liu Wanwan and summoned Fang Yun before the university professors.

Zhang Zhi’s Elite Realm talent astonished the visiting professors when Fang Yun revealed himself as a Legend Realm Retainer. Professor Huang of Yunjing University approached Zhang Zhi first, but Kong Qiu of Fengjing University then revealed himself as a Main Deity and began questioning him, leaving Zhang Zhi caught between the two.

• Zhang Zhi instructed Fang Yun to release his aura, and the professors realized that an Elite Realm World Lord had summoned a Legend Realm Retainer.
• Professor Huang approached Zhang Zhi and asked about his rapid progress and his upbringing in an Orphanage.
• Kong Qiu appeared beside Professor Huang and introduced himself as Kong Qiu of Fengjing University, also known as Confucius.
• Kong Qiu said he too had come from an Orphanage and asked Professor Huang to let him question Zhang Zhi first.
• Professor Huang objected that this went against the rules, while Zhang Zhi tried to calm himself and avoid offending either professor.

Zhang Zhi revealed his World Trait and Extraordinary Technology Path to Professor Kong, who admitted him to Fengjing University and gave him a jade pendant and Nameless Cards. Professor Kong said Zhang Zhi could become his disciple once he reached the Thousand World stage.

• Professor Kong questioned Zhang Zhi about his Small World's advancement and the resources behind his rapid growth.

• Professor Kong invited Zhang Zhi to enroll at Fengjing University, and Zhang Zhi accepted.
• Professor Kong gave Zhang Zhi a jade pendant for enrollment and a Storage Ring containing Nameless Cards.
• Professor Kong said Zhang Zhi could become his disciple after advancing to Thousand World Master.

Professor Kong offered Zhang Zhi a chance to become his disciple if he reached the Realm Lord of a Lesser Thousand World in time. After learning about Liu Wanwan’s Divine Eye Ability and her self-developed Destiny Master Path, he invited her to Fengjing University.

• Professor Kong promised to take Zhang Zhi as his disciple if he met the required promotion goal and explained that the test would reveal whether Zhang Zhi had enough destiny and blessings.
• Zhang Zhi drew Professor Kong’s attention to Liu Wanwan’s Divine Eye Ability, and Liu Wanwan explained that she had developed the Destiny Master Path from it.
• More than twenty professors entered Liu Wanwan’s Small World, where Zhang Zhi observed its population, special law, and the Destiny Masters’ methods for gathering and using destiny and blessings.
• Liu Wanwan described the Path’s current limits, dangerous potential, and her plans to expand its abilities, while the professors showed strong interest in her work.
• After hearing Liu Wanwan explain her Path, Professor Kong praised its potential and asked whether she would attend Fengjing University.

Professor Kong admitted Liu Wanwan to Fengjing University after learning she had independently opened a Cultivation Path and advanced it to the Large Small World level. Zhang Zhi learned why the World Lord Main World valued new Cultivation Paths so highly, and he and Liu Wanwan prepared to report to Fengjing University.

• Professor Kong gave Liu Wanwan an Admission Letter to Fengjing University and a Storage Ring containing fortune, praising her newly opened Destiny Master Path.
• Professor Kong told Zhang Zhi to keep advancing and urged him to become the fastest World Lord to reach the higher levels.
• Liu Wanwan excitedly celebrated her admission, while participants and Seven Dragons Academy lecturers reacted to both her and Zhang Zhi being accepted by Fengjing University.
• Zhang Zhi asked the Seven Dragons Academy lecturers why schools valued new Cultivation Paths, and they explained that paths let Thousand Worlds produce more powerful beings from limited origin.
• Zhang Zhi realized that new paths helped explain the World Lord Main World's efforts to merge other Main Worlds and Cloud Mist University's investment in the Cloud Mist Law and Death God Law.

Zhang Zhi and Liu Wanwan explored the assessment grounds after receiving admission to Fengjing University, while Li Feihe secured interest from Cloud Mist University. The five-day assessment concluded with another student accepted by Yunjing University, and Liu Wanwan left Zhang Zhi puzzling over her question about Sister Xiaoxiao.

• Liu Wanwan offered to protect Zhang Zhi at Fengjing University, citing her Destiny Master Path’s ability to strip others of fortune and blessings.
• Zhang Zhi and Liu Wanwan searched the assessment grounds for chances to inspect other Small Worlds, then congratulated Li Feihe on receiving a Letter of Intent from Cloud Mist University.
• Li Feihe explained that Zhang Zhi and Liu Wanwan’s admission to Fengjing University had drawn professors’ attention to students from Seven Dragons Academy.
• Professors studied a promising student’s Small World, where hostile human and monster races followed separate Paths under his guidance, and Yunjing University accepted him.
• Liu Wanwan asked Zhang Zhi what he thought of her older cousin, and Zhang Zhi called Sister Xiaoxiao a qualified class advisor.

After returning from the Exchange Meeting, Zhang Zhi received a hero’s welcome for being accepted by Fengjing University and learned from Li Qianjun how the Main World’s higher education system worked. As people brought him Nameless Cards to build connections, he considered investigating the secrets behind other lost Cultivation Paths, while preparing to show Zixia his Small World when Ghost Gate Pass opened.

• News that Zhang Zhi and Liu Wanwan had been accepted by Fengjing University spread through the Thirteen Southeastern Domains, bringing Seven Dragons Academy new fame.
• Zhang Zhi returned to the academy, thanked Li Qianjun for sending him to the Exchange Meeting, and learned how universities and Fengjing University ranked in the Main World.
• Li Qianjun gave Zhang Zhi a Storage Ring filled with the Li family’s Nameless Cards, and Zhang Zhi considered researching whether other cards concealed vanished Cultivation Paths.
• A crowd brought Zhang Zhi congratulatory gifts, all of them Nameless Cards, and he accepted them after deciding the visitors mainly wanted information about Fengjing University.
• On the day Ghost Gate Pass was due to open, more visitors arrived to connect with Zhang Zhi and Liu Wanwan after their Fengjing University admissions.

Zhang Zhi brought Zixia into his Small World and revealed its enormous World Wreckage, then exchanged secrets with her. He took her to Mount Kunlun to show her the Trial Tower, leaving Zixia stunned by another of his extraordinary advantages.

• Zhang Zhi opened a World Gate into his Small World and brought Zixia along to explore it.
• Zhang Zhi showed Zixia the vast World Wreckage beyond the valley, and she recognized it as a rare treasure that could be from a Main World or Half-Step Main World.
• Zhang Zhi explained that his Small World was in the Ten Thousand Races Region, and Zixia questioned how far it was from their Main World.
• Zixia revealed that she was the Cloud Mist Deity's Consciousness Body rather than a Thought Clone, and Zhang Zhi confirmed that he had already guessed.
• Zhang Zhi took Zixia to Mount Kunlun, where she saw the Trial Tower and wondered if he was the Multiverse Consciousness's illegitimate son.

Zhang Zhi showed Zixia his Trial Tower and Extraordinary Technology Path, then revealed the Ghost Gate Pass in Fengdu. Zixia questioned whether the Six Paths of Reincarnation Law was merely a way to comfort the dead, leaving Zhang Zhi poised to challenge her understanding.

• Zixia questioned how Zhang Zhi obtained the Trial Tower, and he explained that he had won it by killing monsters during the Multiverse’s Heaven and Earth Trial.
• Zhang Zhi told Zixia that someone had secretly tried to probe his memories, and he suspected Confucius had protected him with the jade pendant he had given him.
• Zhang Zhi took Zixia to Chaoge City’s Research Institute and explained how ordinary people had driven the development of the Extraordinary Technology Path.
• Zixia asked to remain in Zhang Zhi’s Small World to observe, and Zhang Zhi agreed as the Ghost Gate Pass began forming above Fengdu.
• The Ghost Gate Pass appeared, and Zhang Zhi asked Zixia what she believed the Six Paths of Reincarnation were; she answered that she thought the law merely comforted souls after death.

Zhang Zhi explained his vision of the Six Paths of Reincarnation to Zixia, arguing that souls were valuable and could sustain the Multiverse by reincarnating into new life. When a tide of souls entered the Ghost Gate Pass, Zixia became curious about the Underworld and agreed to go there despite suspecting Zhang Zhi had set a trap.

• Zhang Zhi described the Six Paths as paths through which souls could reincarnate into sentient beings or beasts, while Zixia questioned how the system would handle memories and what purpose it served.
• Zixia told Zhang Zhi that most races regarded souls as useless, troublesome remains, and Zhang Zhi argued that souls were essential to the continued growth of intelligent life and the Multiverse.
• Zixia linked cycles of population growth and wars between rising races to a possible limit on the birth of new souls.
• A tide of souls and Evil Creatures from nearby World Wreckage entered the Ghost Gate Pass, which Zhang Zhi explained led to the Underworld and summoned souls within the Six Paths of Reincarnation Law's reach.
• Zixia suspected Zhang Zhi had dug a pit for her in the Underworld, but she decided to enter the Ghost Gate Pass and see for herself.

Zhang Zhi showed Zixia the Underworld and asked her to help erase souls’ memories so they could cross the Bridge of Helplessness. After explaining that restoring the Six Paths of Reincarnation could earn her the merit and fortune she needed, he left her to consider joining him and watched Fengdu for signs of the Mutated Death Gods.

• Zhang Zhi told Zixia that he had obtained the Underworld through a Nameless Card and explained why he wanted to restore the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
• Zhang Zhi led Zixia through the Underworld and asked her to erase an alien soul’s memories; the soul then crossed the Bridge of Helplessness.
• Zixia offered her pill formula and Cloud Mist Spell in exchange for Zhang Zhi’s acknowledgment of their value, and Zhang Zhi agreed before revealing that the Multiverse Consciousness guided the restoration of the Six Paths.
• Zhang Zhi explained that restoring the Six Paths could bring Zixia enough merit and fortune to restore her Cloud Mist World, and invited her to join him.
• Zixia erased an Evil Creature’s memories and watched it cross the bridge, then asked for time to consider Zhang Zhi’s proposal and continue touring his Small World.
• Zhang Zhi left the Underworld with Zixia and hovered above Fengdu to see whether the attacking monsters were Mutated Death Gods.

Zhang Zhi left Zixia to observe his Underworld and returned to Yicheng, where he encountered people with vampire auras. After Fang Min traced them to their lair, Zhang Zhi set out to investigate.

• Zhang Zhi explained that the dead, including Evil Creatures, could be controlled by the Underworld because they wanted to become living beings again, and Zixia chose to observe the Six Paths of Reincarnation Path.
• Zhang Zhi avoided crowds at his residence and the Orphanage, then headed toward Yicheng's Primary Education Academy to visit the Old Director and Principal.
• Zhang Zhi noticed several people with vampire auras, lured them into an alley, and sent Fang Min to follow them.
• Zhang Zhi speculated about the vampires' presence in Yicheng, but found the Principal absent when he reached the school.
• Fang Min returned after tracing the vampire-linked people to their lair, and Zhang Zhi went to investigate with the Small Broken Bell for protection.

Zhang Zhi learned from the Principal that Yicheng was being used as a trap to uncover the vampires’ remaining lair, then visited the Orphanage before returning to his Small World. There, he reviewed promising tests of a three-pilot defensive mecha as Zixia praised the potential of his Extraordinary Cultivation Path.

• Zhang Zhi left Fang Min to watch the vampires’ lair and asked the Principal about vampires he had encountered in Yicheng.
• The Principal explained that Yicheng was a key part of the vampires’ Substitute the Plum for the Peach scheme, and that the Main World’s authorities were allowing the vampires to remain so they could learn the location of their other lair.
• Zhang Zhi visited the Orphanage, learned that its government funding would increase more than thirtyfold, and spent the evening telling stories to the children.
• After returning to Seven Dragons Prefecture, Zhang Zhi received many visitors and eventually closed his door before entering his Small World.
• Zhang Zhi inspected the Gan Giant Type B Mecha, whose three Control Cores let three pilots operate its limbs and torso together, and reviewed its successful initial tests.
• Zixia praised Zhang Zhi’s Extraordinary Cultivation Path for involving ordinary people in developing every Tier and potentially reaching the Great Thousand World or becoming a Main World Path.

Zhang Zhi and Zixia discussed his Small World, its many cultivation paths, and her role in establishing the Six Paths of Reincarnation. After agreeing to help, Zixia asked why Zhang Zhi invested so heavily in the Qi Refiner Path, whose potential he said she had not yet understood.

• Zixia praised Zhang Zhi for creating a path that treated ordinary people as participants, and she guessed that his ambitions extended beyond the Main World.
• Zhang Zhi watched the Gan Giant Type B Mecha withstand repeated close-range attacks from a Legendary Realm Fantasy cultivator before its Protective Array broke.
• Zixia recognized the unusual features and secrets of Zhang Zhi's Small World, joked that learning them meant she had to sell herself to him, and asked him not to abandon the principles of the Extraordinary Technology Path.
• Zhang Zhi assured Zixia that his other paths also respected ordinary people, then asked her to use the Cloud Mist Law and her clones to erase the memories of souls on the Bridge of Helplessness as the Six Paths of Reincarnation was established.
• Zixia agreed to help until the path was established and asked Zhang Zhi why his Small World devoted so many resources to the Qi Refiner Path.
• Zixia said she saw little special in the Qi Refiner Path beyond its combat power and suggested Zhang Zhi focus resources on the Extraordinary Technology and Six Paths of Reincarnation paths.

Zhang Zhi revealed that the Qi Refiner Path might produce an existence beyond the Main God Realm, changing Zixia’s view of its potential. After she warned him about dividing resources among his paths, Zhang Zhi realized the enormous world wreckage nearby could supply enough world origin and divine sparks to support their development.

• Zhang Zhi showed Zixia that the Qi Refiner below was only at the Crystallization Transformation stage, despite wielding power she had mistaken for Legendary Realm strength.
• Zixia realized that spirit qi’s greater intensity might let the Qi Refiner Path produce an existence above the Main God Realm if it reached the Main World Rank.
• Zixia admitted she had misjudged the path, then advised Zhang Zhi to prioritize his Cultivation Paths because divine sparks would limit their growth at higher realms.
• Zhang Zhi asked whether devouring world wreckage could increase his Small World’s divine sparks, and Zixia confirmed that enormous wreckage could retain complete laws.
• Zixia concluded that digesting the nearby Main World Rank wreckage could provide enough world origin for Zhang Zhi to develop all six paths simultaneously in the short term.

Zhang Zhi settled Zixia’s role as Meng Po, reviewed developments in his Small World, and prepared to leave for Fengjing University with Liu Wanwan and Liu Xiaoxiao. The chapter ended as the three set off together, with Zixia remaining behind to investigate the Giant World Wreckage.

• Zixia agreed to become Meng Po after Zhang Zhi accepted her requests, then chose to remain in his Small World and examine the Giant World Wreckage.
• Zhang Zhi approved the Gan Giant Type B Mecha test results and learned that Qi Refiner body cultivators could cultivate spiritual qi without strong Mental Power, gaining tough Protective Shields and spell-breaking attacks.
• Zhang Zhi observed the new body-cultivation drills, discussed improvements with Fang Yun, then packed his Study Room belongings into twenty-seven Storage Rings.
• Before leaving his courtyard, Zhang Zhi gave the maids Blue Cards and Gold Yuan Vouchers, then met Liu Wanwan at their appointed location and found Liu Xiaoxiao waiting there.
• Liu Wanwan explained Fengjing University's Accompanying Study Quotas, and the three prepared to travel to the university together.

Zhang Zhi, Liu Wanwan, and Liu Xiaoxiao reached Fengjing University after a long journey and began their enrollment procedures. The staff member activated Liu Wanwan’s Admission Letter as her Student ID, then froze when Zhang Zhi presented his jade pendant as another new student.

• After changing teleportation gates thirty-seven times, Zhang Zhi, Liu Wanwan, and Liu Xiaoxiao arrived in Fengjing and marveled at its advanced civilian technology.
• Zhang Zhi rejected an unreliable guide and hired another person to lead them to Fengjing University’s entrance.
• At the university plaza, Liu Wanwan showed her Admission Letter, and a figure questioned her about who issued it and why Zhang Zhi was in the Elite Realm.
• When Liu Wanwan said His Excellency Confucius had issued the letter, the figure hurriedly withdrew his questions and opened a gate to the true entrance.
• A staff member activated Liu Wanwan’s Admission Letter into a Student ID and explained that companions needed credentials costing one thousand threads of destiny.
• Zhang Zhi handed the staff member his jade pendant, and the staff member froze upon seeing that an Elite Realm cultivator was also reporting as a student.

Zhang Zhi and Liu Wanwan completed their enrollment at Fengjing University, learning about the risks tied to professor-issued admission letters and choosing Cave Mansions. They reached Cave Mansion Area B3 and discovered it opened into a world far larger than it appeared from outside.

• Sun Tianyi explained that Zhang Zhi's jade pendant marked him as a professor's Reserve Disciple and warned him not to reveal which professor had issued it.
• Sun Tianyi clarified the risks of students being targeted over their admission letters, then helped Zhang Zhi, Liu Wanwan, and Liu Xiaoxiao complete registration and choose Cave Mansions.
• Zhang Zhi and Liu Wanwan received jade Student Cards with teleportation functions, while Liu Xiaoxiao bought Academic Credits for her accompanying student card.
• The three flew toward their Cave Mansions, and Liu Xiaoxiao explained that a serious injury had delayed her advancement and that she had refused a long lecturer contract at Seven Dragons Academy.
• After reaching Cave Mansion Area B3, the three passed through its gate and found that the area contained an entirely different world.
