Chapter Summaries

Zhang Zhi settled into Fengjing University, met his new class adviser, Yun Wuxia, and explored the campus with Liu Wanwan and Liu Xiaoxiao. He then returned to the Small World and reached nine hundred consecutive Trial Tower wins, defeating a Weak Divine Power Realm demon before stopping short of the thousandth match.

• Zhang Zhi learned that Fengjing University’s spaces had been folded and confirmed that Yun Wuxia was his class adviser for Freshman Class A Seven.

• Zhang Zhi entered the Small World and continued his Trial Tower arena streak, reaching nine hundred consecutive wins.
• Zhang Zhi defeated the nine-hundredth-match Gatekeeper BOSS, a Weak Divine Power Realm demon, then left the arena without attempting the next match.

Zhang Zhi inspected the growing Qi Refiner Path, the Research Institute’s new Type-C mecha, and the Underworld after refining a Hall of Yama card, which strengthened and transformed the realm. The next morning, he attended the class Activity Room with Liu Wanwan and Liu Xiaoxiao, where he learned Fengjing University’s formations weakened certain abilities, including destiny spells.

• Zhang Zhi discovered that a member of the Ten Thousand Races had become a Qi Refiner and increased rewards for missions to build Qi Gathering Arrays.
• Zhang Zhi visited Mount Buzhou and saw that the Qi Refiner Path had grown to more than 2,300 practitioners, including seventeen Extraordinary Realm cultivators besides Fang Yun.
• Zhang Zhi inspected the Research Institute’s Type-C mecha, which had completed testing and was ready for mass production.
• Zhang Zhi refined a Hall of Yama card into the Underworld, where it brightened the realm, strengthened Underworld Creatures, and prompted them to patrol its regions.
• Zhang Zhi, Liu Wanwan, and Liu Xiaoxiao arrived at the class Activity Room, where Yun Wuxia gave Liu Xiaoxiao a registration form.
• Liu Wanwan explained that Fengjing University’s formations blocked disguise, stealth, Mental Power, curses, and possession, while weakening her destiny spells.

Zhang Zhi and Liu Wanwan discussed the risks of confronting an arrogant classmate and Liu Wanwan’s plan to reveal her Destiny Master Path. At Class A7’s first meeting, Liu Wanwan introduced herself and her cultivation path, leaving the man who had mocked them visibly unsettled.

• Liu Xiaoxiao spotted two native gods among four new arrivals, and another student mocked them as companion students.
• Liu Wanwan threatened the mocking student, but Yun Wuxia warned that private fights would incur penalties.
• Liu Wanwan told Zhang Zhi she wanted to challenge the man openly and reveal her Destiny Master Path, while Zhang Zhi warned her not to expose her secrets or invite trouble.
• Yun Wuxia began Class A7’s first meeting and invited the students to introduce themselves.
• Liu Wanwan introduced herself, described her Destiny Master Path and its ability to manipulate blessings, destiny, and merit, and looked pointedly at the man who had mocked them.

During class introductions, Hu Hu and Zhang Zhi revealed their remarkable backgrounds and confronted a student who had mocked them and their companions. The class was left wary of the provocateur as Yun Wuxia continued asking for volunteers.

• After Liu Wanwan finished, the class fell silent until Hu Hu introduced himself as a world lord from the Flying Star Realm who had fought his way into Fengjing University.
• Hu Hu defended the native deities who had saved and supported him, then warned the student who had mocked them not to insult them again.
• Zhang Zhi volunteered to introduce himself and revealed that, despite being under fifteen and only at the Elite Realm, his Small World had already advanced to a Large Small World.
• Zhang Zhi told the provocateur to stop acting superior and warned him to be careful around him, leaving the class pitying the student.
• Yun Wuxia accepted Zhang Zhi's introduction and asked the class who would volunteer next.

After Liu Junkong left the class meeting, Zhang Zhi and Liu Wanwan headed with Liu Xiaoxiao to Fengjing University's Trial Tower. Zhang Zhi entered the Reward Settlement Space and was prompted to claim a season reward from the arena.

• Zhong Wuying told Zhang Zhi and Liu Wanwan that Liu Junkong had attended the same middle school as him and speculated that Liu Junkong was asking Yun Wuxia to change classes.
• Zhang Zhi reasoned that Liu Junkong had chosen to give up some face rather than risk a greater conflict, and praised his decisiveness.
• Liu Junkong finished speaking with Yun Wuxia and left the Activity Room; Yun Wuxia then discussed team formation and university courses before ending the class meeting.
• Zhang Zhi told Liu Wanwan he planned to visit the Trial Tower, and Liu Wanwan and Liu Xiaoxiao joined him.
• Zhang Zhi entered the Reward Settlement Space, remembered that a year in the Main World counted as one arena season, and saw a Yellow Rank treasure chest awaiting his claim.

Zhang Zhi claimed his arena rewards, including a priceless Dragon Palace Card, then discovered Fengjing University's exchange had almost no useful high-tier cards. After winning his way to the hundredth match, he faced a Five-Clawed Yinglong, whose unexpected divine ability destroyed his mechas even as their cannons wounded it—and the Divine Dragon burst into tears.

• Zhang Zhi opened his season reward chest and obtained a Dragon Palace Card, which he considered integrating into the Monster Race Small World for Ao Guang.
• Zhang Zhi won arena matches and earned 3,754 points, then found that the Trial Tower Exchange Center had very few Yellow Rank or higher cards left.
• Zhang Zhi continued through increasingly difficult arena opponents, defeating Demigod Realm enemies on his way to the hundredth match.
• Zhang Zhi met a Five-Clawed Yinglong, who assumed the Elite Realm Master of the World should surrender because he had only one Retainer left.
• Zhang Zhi summoned thirty mechas and attacked; the Yinglong's tail strike destroyed them, while their cannons melted several of its scales.
• The wounded Five-Clawed Yinglong burst into tears, astonishing Zhang Zhi.

Zhang Zhi earned the Undefeated Twice achievement in the Trial Tower after a young Five-Clawed Yinglong withdrew from their fight, then worried her powerful parents might seek him out. After discussing future plans with Liu Wanwan and Liu Xiaoxiao, he entered his Small World and discovered Zixia and Fang Yun had gone exploring together.

• The Five-Clawed Yinglong cried, healed her wounds, and withdrew, giving Zhang Zhi one hundred consecutive Tier 2 Arena victories and the Undefeated Twice achievement.
• Zhang Zhi left the Trial Tower, confirmed his identity as Daoist Hongjun to Liu Wanwan and Liu Xiaoxiao, and explained that the Five-Clawed Yinglong had surrendered on her own.
• Liu Wanwan explained that the Five-Clawed Yinglong was likely the young child of powerful Divine Dragons, and Zhang Zhi hurried away fearing her parents might be at Fengjing University.
• Zhang Zhi, Liu Wanwan, and Liu Xiaoxiao discussed forming a team and chose courses related to advancing to Thousand Worlds; Zhang Zhi later reassured Liu Wanwan about Liu Junkong.
• Zhang Zhi refined Human Cards and cleared Mental Corruption in his Consciousness Space, estimating that it would take about half a year to finish.
• Zhang Zhi entered his Small World and learned that Zixia and Fang Yun had gone out together, possibly to explore the World Wreckage.

Zhang Zhi planned the Trial Tower’s third floor and redirected mecha research toward equipment ordinary people could use. Zixia and Fang Yun returned from the Type A Number Nine Wreckage with news that it was a Jing Race Main World ruin, where the last guards had become Evil Creatures protecting the remains of younglings.

• Zhang Zhi decided the Trial Tower’s third floor would open through a Great Turntable event, with the first person to qualify drawing three times to determine which areas became available.
• Zhang Zhi rejected a proposal for more powerful mechas and instructed the Research Institute to prioritize mechas that ordinary people could use.
• Zhang Zhi toured the Small World while Zixia and Fang Yun explored the Type A Number Nine Wreckage.
• Zixia told Zhang Zhi that the wreckage was the Jing Race’s Main World ruin and that its buildings were a faction’s Scripture Depository, protected by a powerful formation.
• Zixia and Fang Yun described tens of thousands of Jing Race younglings’ remains inside the Scripture Depository, including many who had died by suicide or been gnawed on.
• Zixia explained that five Evil Creatures in the ruins had once guarded the younglings and remained there because guarding them had become their deepest imprint.

Zixia explained the Elf Race’s origins and history from records found in the Scripture Depository, while Zhang Zhi asked her to investigate a peculiar Evil Creature’s memories. Back in the Main World, Zhang Zhi considered how to arrange household help at Fengjing University, and the Small World finished organizing a broad catalog of the Elf Race’s library.

• Zixia explained that the Elf Race began as spirits and developed into a flesh-and-blood race through the Cultivation Path created by their Ancestor.
• Zixia said the Scripture Depository held extensive records but that she had not yet found information about the race that destroyed the Elf Race’s Main World, and she planned to have Fang Yun bring people to study them.
• Zhang Zhi asked Zixia to read the memories of a many-headed, many-armed Evil Creature that devoured others while retaining some reason, and she speculated that its thoughts from life still influenced it.
• Zhang Zhi returned to the Main World and considered summoning Retainers or hiring outside help to provide meals at Fengjing University.
• Zhang Zhi, Liu Wanwan, and Liu Xiaoxiao spent the next day comparing courses and professors, while Liu Wanwan hoped to find a suitable mentor.
• The Small World organized a wide-ranging catalog of the Scripture Depository’s contents, which Zhang Zhi recognized as more like a library than a depository.

Zhang Zhi learned that Fengjing University would reward the student behind the Trial Tower’s Hundred Flowers Congratulate achievement with valuable benefits, including a Red Rank Special Secret Realm quota and enhanced Library Access. He revealed that he was Daoist Hongjun, and Yun Wuxia began arranging verification with Seven Dragons Academy.

• Zhang Zhi found little information about the destruction of the Essence Race’s Main World and returned to the Main World after telling everyone to continue researching.
• At the second class meeting, Yun Wuxia collected course selections and asked whether Daoist Hongjun belonged to the class.
• Liu Xiaoxiao explained that Special Secret Realms preserved the resources and cultivation records of vanished races, while Yun Wuxia described the achievement’s rewards and how secret realm quotas were issued.
• Zhang Zhi identified himself as Daoist Hongjun and offered to prove it through the Trial Tower or records from Seven Dragons Academy.
• Yun Wuxia said he would ask the Academic Affairs Office to verify Zhang Zhi’s achievement and continued the class meeting so the students could socialize.

Zhang Zhi helped Yun Wuxia bring the class together, and Yun Wuxia used his White Contribution Reward and class funds to arrange a White Rank Special Secret Realm group trip. Zhang Zhi then asked whether Zixia could become his attendant at Fengjing University, and Yun Wuxia asked about her race and cultivation.

• Zhang Zhi invited classmates to exchange cards, prompting lively trading that helped Yun Wuxia realize the class needed a shared activity.
• Yun Wuxia announced that he had combined class Academic Credits with his White Contribution Reward to secure a White Rank Special Secret Realm group quota, and the students did not object.
• Zhang Zhi and Yun Wuxia discussed the reward and its connection to Zhang Zhi’s achievement, while Liu Xiaoxiao felt guilty about how she had used his benefits in the past.
• Zhang Zhi noticed Hu Hu’s divine attendants and asked Yun Wuxia about the university’s rules for attendants; Yun Wuxia explained that foreign-race applicants faced additional review.
• Yun Wuxia asked Zhang Zhi whether a foreign-race divine being wanted to become his attendant and what level of cultivation she had.

Zhang Zhi learned how foreign-race deities could be approved as attendants and realized he did not understand Zixia’s current state. He shared the Conditions for Achievement for Undefeated in a Hundred Battles with his classmates for free, leaving Yun Wuxia to suggest that his views resembled Professor Confucius’s belief in Education Without Discrimination.

• Yun Wuxia explained that foreign-race deities could become attendants through a reliable divination or a guarantor above the Great Divine Power Realm, while doubting that a Half-Step Main Deity Realm Existence could be approved.
• Zhang Zhi realized Zixia might no longer be a Half-Step Main Deity Realm Existence and resolved to ask her about her body and current state later.
• A classmate offered Zhang Zhi Purple Cards for the Conditions for Achievement for Undefeated in a Hundred Battles, but Zhang Zhi refused payment and asked everyone not to profit from the information.
• Zhang Zhi explained that the achievement required one hundred consecutive wins in the first Arena of a given rank, and answered his classmates’ questions about the Trials.
• Yun Wuxia connected Zhang Zhi’s decision to share knowledge freely with Professor Confucius’s principle of Education Without Discrimination.

Zhang Zhi considered the consequences of sharing knowledge freely, then assessed the growth and strengths of the Qi Refiner Path in his Small World. After exploring research needs and the changing balance among cultivation paths, he left the Zhou Kingdom’s Immortal Cultivation Path as one of several competing forces.

• Liu Xiaoxiao and Liu Wanwan warned Zhang Zhi that sharing information publicly could anger Zhong Wuying and others who profited from selling it, but Zhang Zhi defended open access to knowledge.
• Zhang Zhi visited Mount Buzhou, where more than five thousand Qi Refiners had gathered and Fang Yun was in seclusion while working on a cultivation method with lower Mental Power requirements.
• Zhang Zhi watched Qi Refiner Body Cultivators and Spell Cultivators compete, saw the Spell Cultivators win most matches, and judged the two branches complementary despite the Spell Cultivators’ limited stamina.
• Zhang Zhi inspected the Research Institute’s mecha work and considered obtaining the Main World’s electrical and Internal Combustion Engine technologies to advance the Small World’s industry.
• Zhang Zhi visited the Zhou Kingdom and reflected that the Immortal Cultivation Path remained strong but would no longer dominate the Small World as the Qi Refiner and Fantasy Paths rose.

Zhang Zhi toured the Underworld and Han Kingdom, then learned that humans across the Ten Thousand Races Region were sharing Key Cards to unite through the Trial Tower. After arranging daily Key Card refreshes, he realized the growing points economy needed more ways for people to spend their points.

• Zhang Zhi toured the Underworld, where judges managed its growing population, the City of Wrongful Death had expanded, and souls repeatedly tried to cross the Bridge of Helplessness.
• Zhang Zhi inspected Han Kingdom and found its Fantasy Path cultivators growing rapidly with support from widespread martial arts practice.
• Zhang Zhi visited the Trial Battlefield and learned that human cultivators were distributing Key Cards across worlds to bring humanity into the Trial Tower and strengthen cooperation.
• Zhang Zhi set the system to refresh Key Cards daily using World Power, which his growing Mental Power could now supply.
• Zhang Zhi reviewed the Material Recycling Center's purchases and recognized that the Trial Tower's points economy was unhealthy because he had too few ways to spend the points humans needed.

Zhang Zhi worried when Zixia vanished during her exploration of the World Wreckage, then learned she had spent time in a secret realm studying the Elven Race's past. Zixia explained her identity and cultivation, and gave Zhang Zhi a map of the areas she had cleared for exploration.

• Zhang Zhi waited nearly a month for Zixia to return from the World Wreckage and grew anxious about her safety.
• Zixia returned and explained that she had entered a secret realm whose slower time flow made her absence seem longer.
• Zixia gave Zhang Zhi documents about the Elven Race, but said she had not discovered which foreign race destroyed its Main World.
• Zixia told Zhang Zhi that she was a flesh-and-blood creature, the Cloud Mist Deity, and had recovered to the Low Divine Power Realm.
• Zixia handed Zhang Zhi a map marking the cleared areas and the secret realm, so he could send his Retainers to explore.

Zhang Zhi helped coordinate exploration of the Main World Wreckage while preparing to enter a class Special Secret Realm. The class reached the realm’s entrance, where Zhang Zhi discovered that its inhabitants resembled Zerg and that the secret realm had belonged to the Multi-Eyed Race.

• Zixia warned Zhang Zhi that a naturally formed secret realm in the wreckage was difficult to escape and offered to guide the Twelve Dynasties’ explorers through the Main World Wreckage.
• The Twelve Dynasties established a Forward Camp on the wreckage, while Zhang Zhi agreed with Liu Wanwan to wait for the class meeting before seeking cutting-edge Scientific Technology.
• Yun Wuxia announced that attendants entering the Special Secret Realm would each need six hundred Academic Credits, and Hu Hu’s three attendants gave up their places so he could receive a subsidy.
• Yun Wuxia led the class to the Secret Realm Management Office and directed everyone through a Teleportation Gate after explaining the realm’s dangers.
• Zhang Zhi examined the realm’s information and saw that its monsters resembled Zerg, despite the secret realm belonging to the Multi-Eyed Race.

Zhang Zhi and his classmates entered a secret realm once belonging to the Multi-Eyed Race and learned that an insect race had overrun it. After fighting through increasingly powerful swarms, the group reached the sea of insects, where Zhang Zhi offered to handle the insects himself.

• Zhang Zhi read that the Multi-Eyed Race had been destroyed by an adaptable insect race that might be able to find secret realms by reading memories, and that capturing such insects alive could earn rewards.
• Yun Wuxia gathered the class and led them through the Teleportation Gate into the secret realm, where they chose to explore the sea of insects at its center.
• Zhang Zhi summoned Ao Guang as a mount, and the group fought swarms of fearless flying insects while Legendary Realm mages cleared their path.
• After warning the class not to underestimate the insects that had destroyed a Main World, Yun Wuxia led everyone deeper as stronger and more varied insects appeared.
• The group reached the edge of the sea of insects, where the swarm was too dense to proceed, and Zhang Zhi said he would deal with the insects.

Zhang Zhi used his mecha to clear millions of Insect King's forces and help lead the class through the insect sea. He revealed that he had exaggerated the mecha's limits to impress the instructor, then introduced his new Extraordinary Technology Path to his classmates.

• Zhang Zhi summoned fifty Type-B Ranged Mecha and had the others call back their Retainers before the mecha attacked.
• The mecha fired a hundred beams that wiped out more than a million Insect King's forces, impressing the class.
• Yun Wuxia asked Zhang Zhi to lead the group onward, and the mecha cleared the bugs again when they caught up.
• Liu Wanwan realized Zhang Zhi had lied about the mecha firing only once, and he explained that he wanted to impress the instructor and ask for help finding technological information.
• Zhang Zhi deflected questions about the bugs by discussing their origins and survival, then told his classmates that the mecha came from his new Extraordinary Technology Path.

Zhang Zhi’s class crossed the insect sea, and his mecha and classmates’ newly revealed Cultivation Paths helped them advance toward unexplored Folded Spaces. The group reached buildings missing from the map, which Yun Wuxia suspected marked a hidden Folded Space.

• Zhang Zhi asked his classmates for connections to scientific technology, and Zhong Wuying suggested he consider becoming a Main God Excellency’s disciple; Yun Wuxia said he should wait until he reached the Lesser Thousand World level.
• Zhang Zhi’s mecha cleared a path through the insects, but its Spiritual Energy Annihilation Cannons weakened after about fifty shots, so the class saw its Gatling guns hold back even Mortal Transformation Realm insects.
• Yun Wuxia proposed that the class visit five recently discovered, unexplored Folded Spaces, then asked Zhang Zhi to let the other students fight without his mecha leading the way.
• Zhao Zhaoyun revealed a Cultivation Path that transformed men into women and summoned female cultivators, while Hu Hu demonstrated a Faith Path whose Extraordinary Realm body cultivators fought with powerful phantoms.
• After more than an hour of fighting through the insect sea, the class found an unmarked cluster of buildings, and Yun Wuxia suggested it might be a hidden Folded Space.

Zhang Zhi proposed that the Multi-Eyed Race and the insect race might have mastered Space Law, potentially explaining the secret realm’s countless Folded Spaces and how the insects breached it. The class searched newly revealed ruins for proof but found no useful records, and they expected more ruins to appear.

• The class cleared the insects from the first ruins and found nothing after searching for more than two hours.
• A Space Rift revealed another stretch of ruins, prompting the class to question whether the Multi-Eyed Race had mastered Space Law.
• Zhang Zhi pointed out that different insects displayed different law fluctuations and suggested the insect race might control many laws, including Space Law.
• Yun Wuxia explained that proving either race had mastered Space Law could raise the secret realm’s rank and reward the class, though others had already investigated it.
• Liu Wanwan agreed that a hidden Insect King with spatial abilities could explain why no one had found one, and she, Zhang Zhi, and Liu Xiaoxiao joined the search.
• The class’s Retainers searched nearly six square kilometers of ruins and found stone slabs and Jade Slips, but their deciphered writing revealed nothing useful.
