Chapter Summaries

Zhang Zhi and Zixia held off a squad of berserk demons while human reinforcements approached, and a concealed fortress arrived with Zhang Zhi’s classmates. The newcomers learned that True Person Qingshan’s group were descendants of the Heavenly Court Main World and prepared to fight the demons, seeing a chance to be recorded in history.

• Zixia summoned a huge lotus to delay the berserk demons, but two Intermediate Divine Power Realm demons attacked and one used Heavenly Manifestation and Earthly Form.
• The human reinforcements split, with one group returning to camp and another continuing toward Zhang Zhi; Zixia then conjured countless smaller lotuses against the demons.
• Liu Wanwan announced the fortress had arrived, and Zhang Zhi revealed the concealed behemoth behind him to the astonished True Person Qingshan and the others.
• Zhang Zhi’s classmates emerged from the fortress, and he identified Qingshan’s group as a Race Seed sent out by the Heavenly Court Main World during humanity’s decline.
• The classmates discussed how Combat Class allowed them to fight the demons and imagined their deeds being recorded in the Main World’s history.

Zhang Zhi persuaded his classmates to mobilize the fortress cultivators and led a massive force of Retainers against the Mad Demon camp. He explained the Master of the World Cultivation Path to True Person Qingshan and the others, who realized how the Ancestral Land’s human race could rise again.

• Zhang Zhi convinced the class to let the fortress cultivators join the battle through Fengjing University’s emergency mobilization rules, making them allies under the students’ command.
• Zhang Zhi summoned countless Retainers, who formed up and charged toward the Mad Demon Great Camp as both sides reacted to the sudden human reinforcements.
• The human defenders formed ranks and advanced to support the Retainers, while True Person Qingshan asked Zhang Zhi what the summoned cultivators were.
• Zhang Zhi explained that the Retainers were projections summoned from worlds nurtured through the Master of the World Cultivation Path.
• True Person Qingshan learned that Masters of the World could keep summoning Retainers as long as they had World Power, and understood this as the source of the human race’s resurgence.

Zhang Zhi and his group met General Huang, who explained that his branch of humanity had fled to preserve its people rather than desert the race. As summoned Retainers attacked the Mad Demon camp, Zhang Zhi revealed humanity’s strength and Zixia prepared to join the battle.

• True Person Qingshan told General Huang about Zhang Zhi’s group, and General Huang approached Zhang Zhi to insist that his branch of humanity were not deserters.
• Zhang Zhi reassured General Huang and described humanity’s six Main Worlds and vast strength, then promised that the Mad Demons would be easy to defeat.
• The group’s Retainers attacked the Mad Demon camp with Spiritual Energy Annihilation Cannons, breaking most of its protective formations and drawing its defenders outside.
• Zhang Zhi asked General Huang to hold his army back while the Retainers fought, and the group repeatedly summoned replacements for fallen Retainers.
• Zixia offered to fight, and Zhang Zhi explained that she was his Dao Protector, formerly a Half-Step Main Deity Realm outsider who had abandoned her physical body.
• Several Masters of the World summoned Weak Divine Power Realm Retainers, and one threw a Gold Rank card that brought down an enormous finger toward the Mad Demon camp.

Zhang Zhi promised General Huang reinforcements after learning that more than a hundred human worlds might be under attack by the Mad Demons. He revealed that General Huang’s world had already returned to the region of the Ancestral Land, leaving General Huang hopeful that his people could reclaim their past losses.

• A One-Yang Finger, Ten Thousand Swords Returning to the Origin, and a Meteor Shower struck the Mad Demon Great Camp, forcing the Mad Demons there to unleash their strongest techniques.
• General Huang warned Zhang Zhi that the Mad Demons might be attacking more than a hundred worlds, and Zhang Zhi promised to send reinforcements to any worlds in need.
• Zhang Zhi revealed the hidden fortress to General Huang, who recognized it as a powerful war machine and assumed they had traveled from the Ancestral Land aboard it.
• Zhang Zhi explained that the World Region had already been incorporated into the region containing the Ancestral Land, and General Huang wept with joy at the news.
• Zhang Zhi told General Huang that the fortress could teleport a Half-Step Main God Realm being immediately, followed by a larger army if reinforcements were needed.

Professor Zou confirmed that the worlds under alien attack would receive help, explained that Zhang Zhi’s Thousand World Master status and growing reputation had put him at the center of the human stage, and destroyed the Mad Demon Camp. After the humans won the battle, General Huang invited them to Earthly Hero Realm and explained how the Mad Demons had forced it to regress from a Middle Thousand World.

• Professor Zou told General Huang to record the threatened worlds’ coordinates so they could be rescued, then praised Zhang Zhi for finding the world and revealed that he had become a Thousand World Master.
• Professor Zou advised Zhang Zhi to consult Professor Confucius about his future plans and obliterated the Mad Demon Camp, capturing a group of Mad Demons.
• Zhang Zhi reminded his classmates to account for the fortress cultivators, and the class and fortress forces killed the remaining Mad Demons on Earthly Hero Star.
• General Huang invited everyone to Earthly Hero Realm, where he explained that Mad Demon invasions and their destructive cultivation path had caused the world to regress from a Middle Thousand World to a Lesser Thousand World.

After the human victory in the Earthly Hero Realm, Zhang Zhi learned how the Mad Demons had devastated the region and why its worlds had remained weak. Professor Zou took the group, including General Huang, toward the Mad Demons’ territory, while General Huang explained that another powerful race might be keeping the demons’ forces occupied.

• Zhang Zhi and his companions learned that the Earthly Hero Realm had fallen from a Middle Thousand World to a Lesser Thousand World after humans used a secret technique during their ancient war with the Mad Demons.
• General Huang described how the Mad Demons had destroyed or enslaved hundreds of human worlds, including his own, and Zhang Zhi reassured him that reinforcements were being dispatched.
• The fortress appeared in the Earthly Hero Realm’s sky, and Professor Zou arrived to take the group to see the destruction of a Mad Demon Great Thousand World.
• General Huang asked to join them so he could witness revenge for his murdered family and friends, and Professor Zou agreed.
• As Professor Zou carried the group through a Special Space, Zhang Zhi asked General Huang about the region’s few worlds and learned that the Mad Demons’ slaughter had stunted their growth, while a rival race likely constrained the demons’ forces.

Zhang Zhi and his classmates learned about the Mad Demon World Region before witnessing the Mad Demons’ massive assault on the Earthly Ugly Realm. As General Xie and the defenders faced likely defeat, an unknown human powerhouse arrived and unleashed fire dragons and a gigantic palm against the Mad Demons.

• General Huang explained the structure and history of the Mad Demon World Region to Zhang Zhi and his classmates as they traveled.
• Zhang Zhi and the others saw the Earthly Ugly Realm under attack, and General Huang warned that the Mad Demons had launched their largest assault in three thousand years.
• A report revealed that multiple Nine Luminaries Array Cores and thousands of Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches Array Cores had fallen, leaving the Earthly Ugly Realm’s defenders in a desperate position.
• General Xie rallied the remaining cultivators and led them in a charge against the Mad Demons, but a Heavenly God Realm Mad Demon confronted him.
• An unknown human powerhouse sent fire dragons to destroy Mad Demons and kill the Heavenly God Realm enemy, then pressed a gigantic palm toward the Mad Demon Great Camp.

Professor Zou attacked the Mad Demons’ lair, the Great Thousand World where their cultivation path began, and Zhang Zhi and the others watched as he unleashed his full power. After destroying their forces and thinning the Black Mist, Professor Zou formed a massive fire dragon with his clones and Retainers to begin destroying the world.

• A fire dragon saved Yun Xi from the Mad Demons who had tortured her, while her mortally wounded friend died beside her.
• Zhang Zhi learned from General Huang that the Mad Demons’ emotion-filled cultivation path hindered divine ability comprehension and might have obscured the Heavenly Dao.
• General Huang identified the Great Thousand World ahead as the Mad Demons’ lair, marked by the Eye of the Demon and a vast storm of Black Mist.
• Professor Zou battered the lair with his flaming whip, then killed the attacking Mad Demons, including their five Great Divine Power Realm leaders.
• Professor Zou opened a World Gate and brought out his clones and Retainers, who formed a formation with him to summon a colossal fire dragon toward the lair.

Professor Zou’s fire dragon devastated the demon lord’s lair, purifying Black Mist and granting the gathered humans the Gift of the Deceased. When the Great Thousand World began releasing spiritual energy despite limited damage, Zhang Zhi concluded that the lair had a major problem, and Professor Zou prepared a powerful defensive array as a mysterious presence stirred.

• Professor Zou unleashed Fire Dragon Burning the World, which burned demons, shattered the land, and purified Black Mist across the Great Thousand World.
• General Huang explained that the heightened mental activity was the Gift of the Deceased, a state inspired by the lives demons had slaughtered.
• Professor Zou sent the fire dragon across the lair, killing demons and spreading flames until nearly one-quarter of the world was ravaged.
• Zhang Zhi and the others sensed the world releasing spiritual energy and concluded that the demon lord’s lair was collapsing far too soon.
• Professor Zou brought in cultivators to set up the Nine Bends Heavenly River Array, then ordered everyone to stay within its protection.
• As the fire dragon continued its destruction, Zixia sensed something unusual inside the Great Thousand World and watched it warily.

Zhang Zhi and the others discovered that powerful restrictions protected the mad demons' lair, leading them to suspect the mad demons were being herded by a powerful race for the Gift of the Deceased. Professor Zou dealt with another hidden restriction as the fire dragon continued burning the world, and the mad demons began fleeing while Zhang Zhi rejected the idea of protecting their slaughter for personal gain.

• A cold voice unleashed a mental attack when the fire dragon damaged the mad demons' lair, but Professor Zou's Nine Bends Heavenly River Array shielded everyone.
• Zhang Zhi and the others theorized that a powerful race had set restrictions to protect the mad demons, possibly herding them to obtain the Gift of the Deceased.
• Zixia reassured the group that the Nine Bends Heavenly River Array could withstand the restrictions, and the fire dragon resumed destroying the lair.
• After another restriction activated, Professor Zou sent the fire dragon through the affected area and absorbed something from it with the Jade Bottle.
• Zixia and Zhang Zhi noticed mad demons fleeing after Professor Zou dealt with the restriction, while Zhang Zhi decided he would not protect their killings for the sake of cultivation.

Zhang Zhi watched Professor Zou’s formation kill the mad demons fleeing as their lair, a Great Thousand World, collapsed in flames. Afterward, Professor Zou explained that the third Main God attack marked souls with contaminating Mental Power, leaving the class to consider the threat as they witnessed the world’s destruction.

• Zhang Zhi saw Professor Zou’s Retainers use a vast formation to kill the mad demons trying to escape the collapsing world.
• The fire dragons spread destruction through the Great Thousand World until its laws and World Membrane collapsed and nearly all its inhabitants died.
• Professor Zou joined the class and told them the third Main God attack marked souls with Mental Power that could contaminate its victims and turn them into puppets or traitors.
• Zhang Zhi realized his protective treasure had reacted to the Mental Power Professor Zou collected, and suspected Professor Zou might use it to lure the Main God or its race.
• Professor Zou asked the class what they thought of witnessing a Great Thousand World’s destruction, and the students joked that they wanted to accompany him to destroy another one.

Professor Zou explained how the Mad Demons had been pastured by a mysterious race, then the class witnessed the Mad Demon lair’s destruction and returned to the Main World. Zhang Zhi kept his advancement secret from Professor Confucius and inspected the thriving Spiritual Treasure Small World.

• Professor Zou told Liu Wanwan, Zhang Zhi, and the others that a mysterious race had harvested Mad Demons for Black Mist, later pastured them, and might have been destroyed by the Black Mist’s Karma.
• The Mad Demon lair split apart, scattering World Fragments and living Mad Demons, while Professor Zou dismissed their attempted escape.
• Five days later, the class saw that the Mad Demon lair had become World Wreckage and chose not to help destroy the Mad Demons’ other worlds to avoid taking on too much Karma.
• The class returned to the Main World, and Zhang Zhi put away a Paper Crane rather than tell Professor Confucius that he had advanced into a Thousand World.
• Zhang Zhi inspected the Spiritual Treasure Small World and found its new regions greening rapidly as spiritual energy, refined cards, and the Four Races’ efforts replenished them.

Zhang Zhi inspected his Small Worlds and the Trial Tower while planning to use the Maze Secret Realm to help the Qi Refinement Small World advance. After an ordinary secret-realm run, he returned to his routine and found the Nirvana Flower he had been seeking.

• Zhang Zhi reviewed plans to enter the Maze Secret Realm and gather Weak Divine Power Realm laws for the Qi Refiner Small World and the Spiritual Treasure Small World.
• Zhang Zhi inspected the Underworld, Research Institute, Trial Tower, Mission Hall, and Trading Market, noting their development and the growing trade in Small World inventions.
• Zhang Zhi entered an ordinary Trial Tower Secret Realm instead of the Maze Secret Realm, then returned to the Main World.
• Zhang Zhi resumed his daily routine, including cultivating the Eight-Nine Mystic Cultivation.
• Zhang Zhi found the Heavenly Material, Earthly Treasure called the Nirvana Flower at a Trading Market in the University Student Activity Center.

After obtaining a Blue Rank Nirvana Flower, Zhang Zhi dispersed his cultivation and began building a foundation in the Eight-Nine Mystic Cultivation, leaning toward One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones as his first divine ability. He discovered the Qi Refinement Small World was absorbing a huge World Wreckage, then gave Fang Yun a high-level Eight-Nine Mystic Cultivation fragment to explore combining it with the Qi Refiner Path.

• Zhang Zhi used the Nirvana Flower to disperse his cultivation and began carefully cultivating the Eight-Nine Mystic Cultivation.
• Zhang Zhi compared External Incarnation with One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones and decided the latter was likely the better first divine ability.
• Zhang Zhi found a gigantic World Wreckage inside the Qi Refinement Small World and realized the Small World was slowly digesting it.
• Zhang Zhi gave Fang Yun the high-level Eight-Nine Mystic Cultivation fragment, and Fang Yun immediately entered seclusion.
• Zhang Zhi saw that the Qi Refiner systems at Mount Kunlun were developing well, including a Dharma cultivator who had reached the Demigod Realm as the Small World’s sixth Demigod.

Zhang Zhi considered Yang as a future King Yama and sent Ao Guang to the Spiritual Treasure World to lead its dragons. The chapter ended as Professor Zou’s class prepared to destroy a Great Thousand World in the Mind Devourer Region.

• Zhang Zhi visited the Underworld and considered Yang a promising candidate to manage it if he proved himself and reached the Deity Realm.
• Zhang Zhi followed his usual routine, focusing on the Eight-Nine Mystic Cultivation and trying to comprehend One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones.
• Zhang Zhi persuaded Ao Guang to travel through the Ghost Gate Pass to the Spiritual Treasure World and revealed that it held powerful Yinglongs.
• Ao Guang decided to bring four Legendary Realm flood dragons and fifteen Extraordinary Realm flood dragons with him.
• Professor Zou led the Combat Class toward a more difficult mission to destroy a Great Thousand World in the Mind Devourer Region.

The Human Race launched a campaign against the Mind Devourers and sent Zhang Zhi’s class to destroy one of their Great Thousand Worlds. When insect creatures ignored the world’s soul-contaminating defenses, Zhang Zhi suspected the Insect Queen was leading them.

• The Human Race’s higher-ups gathered forces from all five Main Worlds and planned a decisive campaign against the Mind Devourers.
• Professor Zou brought Zhang Zhi and the others to a fortress, which arrived outside a Mind Devourer Great Thousand World five days later.
• Professor Zou opened a World Gate as a second fortress appeared beside them, and insect creatures poured out to attack the world.
• The Mind Devourers’ flesh-colored mist failed to affect the insects, and a cultivator explained that the low-level creatures had no divine souls or independent consciousness to contaminate.

Zhang Zhi watched the insect race overwhelm the Mind Devourers while Professor Zou unleashed a fire dragon to destroy their Great Thousand World. After the battle began to turn against the Mind Devourers, the Insect Queen appeared on Zhang Zhi’s fortress and revealed that he had once saved her life.

• The insect race broke through the Mind Devourers’ defenses, and Zhang Zhi recognized its Half-Step Main God Realm Insect Queen from their secret-realm encounter.
• Professor Zou summoned a fire dragon that swallowed two Great Divine Power Mind Devourers and began destroying the Great Thousand World.
• The Mind Devourers tried to flee as the fire dragon wrecked the world, but insects blocked their escape while the battle continued.
• The Insect Queen appeared on Zhang Zhi’s fortress without permission, and Professor Zou warned that her arrival could be treated as provocation.
• The Insect Queen said Zhang Zhi had saved her life, prompting Professor Zou to remark that Zhang Zhi’s taste was strange.

After the Great Thousand World was destroyed, Zhang Zhi’s group gathered rare treasures before continuing their mission. Back at school, Zhang Zhi discovered that his Qi Refiner Small World had found another piece of World Wreckage, and its boundary had already expanded substantially.

• Professor Zou explained the fortress’s entry rules to the Insect Queen, who gave Zhang Zhi the head of a Great Divine Power Realm Mind Devourer before leaving.
• The fire dragon destroyed most of the Great Thousand World, and the class searched its remains for minerals and treasures after the world began collapsing.
• Professor Zou collected a Tear of the World, while Zixia told Zhang Zhi she would seek more on the Main World level during a future attack on the Mind Devourer’s lair.
• The Insect Queen later returned and gave Zhang Zhi a handful of Crystals of the World before the fortress continued onward.
• After returning to school, Zhang Zhi cultivated and entered his Qi Refiner Small World, where he found another enormous piece of World Wreckage and saw that the world’s boundary had expanded.

Zhang Zhi discovered how the Small World obtained oil and brought Ao Guang and the flood dragons into the Spiritual Treasure Small World. After checking the world’s progress, he tried to attract attention to his shop so he could buy oil and uranium ore.

• Zhang Zhi warned the Twelve Dynasties to stay alert for the missing Insectoid Mother Race and discovered that merchants had arranged large-scale oil shipments through low-level cultivators in the Trial Tower.
• Zhang Zhi entered the Spiritual Treasure Small World during the Ghost Gate Pass Opening and told Ao Guang and the flood dragons to stay there and keep quiet.
• Ao Guang met a Deity Realm Yinglong and claimed that His Eminence had named him Ao Guang, using his connection to Zhang Zhi to impress the local dragons.
• Zhang Zhi inspected the growing plants in the Spiritual Treasure Small World and noted that it would soon be ready to integrate many Human Cards.
• Zhang Zhi went to the University Student Activity Center to promote his shop, which he had stocked with five Crystals of the World while seeking oil ore and uranium ore.

Zhang Zhi failed to find Petroleum Card or Uranium Ore Card buyers at his shop until Ou Xuanqing offered coordinates to a world with uranium-like ore in exchange for a chance to buy a Crystal of the World. Zhang Zhi traded him a walnut-sized Crystal of the World for the coordinates, a Yellow Rank Eight-Nine Mystic Cultivation card, and fate strands.

• Zhang Zhi realized Petroleum Cards and Uranium Ore Cards were unlikely to be found among the shop’s customers and considered developing low-power Spiritual Energy Engines instead.
• Ou Xuanqing approached Zhang Zhi, offered coordinates to a world with uranium-like ore, and asked for the qualification to buy a Crystal of the World.
• Ou Xuanqing explained that he had identified Zhang Zhi as the shop owner by watching him observe the staff, and Liu Wanwan and Liu Xiaoxiao went to question the neighboring shop’s staff.
• Ou Xuanqing gave Zhang Zhi a jade pendant with the world’s coordinates and offered a Yellow Rank Eight-Nine Mystic Cultivation card plus 1,352 strands of fate for a Yellow Rank Crystal of the World.
• Zhang Zhi confirmed the card’s identity and gave Ou Xuanqing a walnut-sized Crystal of the World, accepting the card and the coordinates in the exchange.
