Chapter Summaries

Professor Confucius explained that Professor Zhuang Zi’s eventual breakthrough could trigger a catastrophic transformation across the Human Race’s Main Worlds, so the race needed to uncover the Great Calamity before it happened. Zhang Zhi resolved to gather information from the distant Witchcraft World Region, though its weak Human Race forces and the danger of the World Wreckage made the task difficult.

• Professor Confucius told Zhang Zhi that worlds faced a Great Calamity when breaking through to Main World and that Professor Zhuang Zi’s breakthrough could cause the Human Race’s Main Worlds to begin breaking through as well.
• Zhang Zhi asked whether someone else could break through first and offered to find another Cultivation Path, but Professor Confucius said Professor Zhuang Zi’s destiny made his next breakthrough difficult to avoid.
• Professor Confucius urged Zhang Zhi to investigate the Witchcraft World Region for evidence of a race that had survived the Great Calamity, and Zhang Zhi promised to gather information there.
• After Professor Confucius vanished, Zhang Zhi considered the Human Race’s desperate plans to grow stronger and concluded that the forces in the Witchcraft World Region were too weak to explore the World Wreckage effectively.
• Zhang Zhi noticed that the World Gate’s cooldown had ended, canceled the gate, and walked toward the secret-realm region’s exit.

Zhang Zhi arranged to activate a marker that would lead the Human Race’s Main World cultivators to the Ten Thousand Races World Region. He gave it to Hu Xin'er, who learned that powerful cultivators and eventual Human Race dominance were on the way.

• Zhang Zhi completed his Thousand World Master registration and returned to his residence to organize his Small World.
• Zhang Zhi weighed the risk of exposing his ownership of the Trial Tower and decided to activate a marker in the Ten Thousand Races World Region.
• Zhang Zhi traveled to the Myriad Races Small World and gave Hu Xin'er the marker, explaining how it would summon cultivators from the Human Race Main World.
• Zhang Zhi told Hu Xin'er that Main God Realm and Half-Step Main God Realm cultivators would come, and that Teleportation Arrays and Human Race control of the region would follow.
• Hu Xin'er wept with relief and gratitude, then accepted Zhang Zhi's advice to say she had obtained the marker through a Trial Tower mission.

Zhang Zhi activated a beacon and joined Fengjing University's deployment to the Mind Devourer Region, where the Human Race had begun its assault on the Mind Devourer Main World. The Three-Eyed Race appeared as the Mind Devourers' allies, but after their offer to mediate, the Human Race gave them a choice: leave or fight.

• Zhang Zhi activated the beacon and sent word of it to Confucius with a Paper Crane.
• Zhang Zhi arrived at the Mind Devourer Region with Fengjing University's Combat Class and saw cultivators from across the Human Race gathering for the campaign.
• The Human Race began attacking the Mind Devourer Main World, where four previously unknown Three-Eyed Race Main Gods emerged to aid the Mind Devourers.
• Zhang Zhi told Liu Wanwan and Liu Xiaoxiao that the Three-Eyed Race had likely been misled about the Human Race's strength and had sent too few reinforcements.
• A Three-Eyed Race Main God offered to mediate between the Human Race and Mind Devourers, but the Human Race demanded that the Three-Eyed Race leave or fight.

Humanity rejected the Three-Eyed Race’s offer and continued its assault on the Mind Devourer Main World, while the Three-Eyed Race and Mind Devourer clashed inside. After entering the world, Zhang Zhi discussed the Three-Eyed Race with Professor Confucius, who revealed that they might have taught the Mind Devourer how to refine Super Divine Artifacts from the remains of beings who broke through the Main God Realm Barrier.

• The four Three-Eyed Race Main Gods offered humanity half of the remains and their cultivation techniques in exchange for withdrawing, but humanity rejected their proposal and demanded they choose between surrendering or returning to the Mind Devourer Main World.
• The four Three-Eyed Race Main Gods retreated behind the protective formation, and humanity attacked it until violent fighting inside the Mind Devourer Main World weakened the formation and it broke.
• Seven human Main Gods went to investigate the internal battle, briefly clashed with the Three-Eyed Race Main Gods, and watched them withdraw before humanity resumed destroying the Mind Devourer Main World.
• Zhang Zhi considered how the Mind Devourer might survive by occupying another race’s Main World, then followed Professor Zou into the Mind Devourer Main World and joined Professor Confucius and seven other Main Gods.
• Professor Confucius asked Zhang Zhi to assess the Three-Eyed Race and explained that the four Main Gods appeared to be the Mind Devourer’s only contacts, while the Three-Eyed Race might have supplied its method for refining Super Divine Artifacts from the remains.

Professor Confucius explained that the Three-Eyed Race was a powerful potential enemy, but humanity could strengthen itself and might soon surpass them. He revealed that the Mind Devourers had used a wonder called the Trading Temple to hire the Three-Eyed Race, and Zhang Zhi asked how humanity could claim it.

• Zhang Zhi and Professor Confucius discussed the Three-Eyed Race's research into Main God remains and the threat it posed to humanity.
• Professor Confucius outlined humanity's plans to collect remains, confront the Demon Lord, and help Professor Zhuang Zi attempt a breakthrough.
• Professor Confucius told Zhang Zhi that the four Three-Eyed Race Main Gods showed no sign of having broken through the Main God Realm Barrier.
• Professor Confucius explained that the Mind Devourers had hired the four Three-Eyed Race Main Gods through the Trading Temple, offering remains for ten years of protection.
• Professor Confucius described how the Trading Temple could trade almost anything, including Divine Cores, cultivation, Lifespan, and cultivation techniques.
• Zhang Zhi asked Professor Confucius how humanity could occupy the Trading Temple.

Professor Confucius explained that the humans could claim the mobile Trading Temple by eliminating its Mind Devourer administrators and passing its trial. A Main Deity then revealed that the Mind Devourers had created an uncontrollable Super Divine Artifact, explaining why they had not returned to reinforce the demon race.

• Professor Confucius told Zhang Zhi that the Trading Temple had more than seven hundred administrator positions and that killing Mind Devourers could trigger its rules and let humans claim authority.
• Professor Confucius explained that administrators could move the Trading Temple and cancel trades, potentially securing the remnant of an existence that broke through the Main God Realm Barrier.
• A Main Deity's avatar reported that the Mind Devourers had refined the fallen existence's consciousness sea into a Super Divine Artifact called the 'Mind Devourer,' which they struggled to control.
• Professor Confucius concluded that the Mind Devourers had failed to return because they had underestimated both the human race and the demon race's Main Deities.

Professor Confucius and the human Main Gods entered the Trading Temple, learned how its Light Screens and appraisal system worked, and discovered the temple’s trial. They began trading with other temples, while attracting buyers for their own wares proved harder than expected.

• Professor Shang explained that the Mind Devourers had underestimated humanity’s strength and could not interrupt the ongoing Mind Devouring.
• A beam of light appeared above the Trading Temple, and Professor Confucius led Zhang Zhi and the others inside.
• The group examined the Light Screens and learned that the temple displayed trade requests and could appraise items offered for trade.
• Professor Confucius activated the central Light Screen and revealed a trial requiring ten trades with other temples and ten successful trades with this temple.
• The human group found that the temple enforced minimum prices, making it difficult to sell goods cheaply, so they focused first on trading with other temples.

Zhang Zhi and the Main Gods found a cursed Main God Realm book containing records of a race’s attempt to cross the Main God Realm Barrier, and they debated whether to acquire it. Zhang Zhi urged them to trade for it and pass the curse to a demon Main God after reading its contents.

• Zhang Zhi discovered a Main God Realm book whose negative emotions had contaminated Main Gods and cursed the race that possessed it.
• Professor Confucius summoned the other professors, and they discussed the book’s dangers and the value of the breakthrough materials offered in exchange for taking it away.
• Professor Shang recommended acquiring the book to prepare for the Great Calamity, while others worried the curse could ruin their chances of crossing the barrier.
• Several Main Gods suggested using dragons to bear the curse, but others warned it might target humanity through destiny or aura.
• Professor Confucius asked Zhang Zhi what they should do, and Zhang Zhi said they should trade for the book and later give it to a demon Main God.

Zhang Zhi discovered that Houtu had advanced to the Deity Realm in the Spiritual Treasure Small World and watched her endure a powerful tribulation. As the eighth and ninth strikes descended, he decided she no longer needed his help.

• After the Combat Class, Zhang Zhi returned to the Main World and postponed exploring the Technology Secret Realm.
• Zhang Zhi discovered Houtu advancing to the Deity Realm and found that she had gathered more than ten members of the Witch Race.
• A tribulation formed over Houtu, and she endured its first four strikes with her physical body.
• Houtu survived the fifth and sixth strikes despite severe injuries, relying on the Witch Race's rapid recovery.
• Houtu was knocked down by the seventh strike, then faced the eighth and ninth together as Zhang Zhi concluded she could withstand them without his help.

After Houtu survived her lightning tribulation and advanced to the Weak Divine Power Realm, Zhang Zhi recognized that her armor had become a Natal Witch Artifact and praised her cultivation. Houtu reflected on how Zhang Zhi’s guidance had restored her human feelings, then introduced the nine zombies she had gathered as Witch Clan members, including a human named Zhu.

• Houtu endured the lightning tribulation, recovered from her injuries, and advanced to the Weak Divine Power Realm.
• Zhang Zhi examined Houtu’s recovering armor and realized it had become her Natal Witch Artifact.
• Houtu thanked Zhang Zhi for guiding her, explaining that the Witchcraft Cultivation Path had restored her emotions and human sensations.
• Houtu introduced the nine companions she had found and transformed into Witch Clan members, including the human zombie Zhu.
• Houtu said she had found the companions with help from Ao Guang.

Houtu told Zhang Zhi about the intelligent zombies she had gathered, her Witches’ cultivation, and her efforts to keep the Witch Race’s origins secret. Zhang Zhi recognized how young and isolated Houtu was, promised to bring Fang Long to visit, and left her to protect Fang Long when she arrived.

• Houtu explained that she had found thirteen intelligent zombies and protected or dealt with them according to their past actions.
• Houtu reported that Zhu cultivated Witch Race techniques especially quickly and might reach the Weak Divine Power Realm in four or five years.
• Houtu explained that she avoided contacting Demon Race authorities to keep the Witch Race’s origins hidden, and Zhang Zhi agreed that secrecy was important.
• After hearing Houtu recount her experiences, Zhang Zhi noticed her reluctance to part and realized how young she was.
• Houtu admitted that she missed Fang Long, so Zhang Zhi promised to bring her over and told Houtu to protect her.
• Zhang Zhi disappeared, leaving the watching Deities to wonder why he valued Houtu so highly.

Zhang Zhi surveyed the Spiritual Treasure Small World and considered whether the Witchcraft Cultivation Path could be spread, while weighing its limitations and potential as a path for humans after death. He told Fang Long that Houtu had reached the Weak Divine Power Realm and ordered her to prepare to visit Houtu’s world in a few days.

• Zhang Zhi toured the Monster Race Region, judged its conflicts manageable, and decided not to disperse the Emperor's Nectar Laws there.
• Zhang Zhi saw that Ao Guang had reached the Demigod Realm and considered whether he could become the Dragon Race’s destined leader.

• Zhang Zhi told Fang Long that Houtu had reached the Weak Divine Power Realm and instructed her to prepare to visit Houtu’s Small World in a few days.
• Fang Long accepted Zhang Zhi’s order and resolved to work harder after hearing of Houtu’s advancement.

Zhang Zhi reviewed new records from the Witchcraft World Region, learning how the Eerie Lands had formed and realizing that uncovering the world’s ancient history would require reaching powerful eerie or powerful races. With long-distance travel and communication uncertain, he considered going to the Witchcraft World Region himself and using a World Gate to bring human Main Gods there.

• Zhang Zhi noted Fang Long’s stalled cultivation and decided to give her two more days before activating the World Gate to the Spiritual Treasure Small World.
• Humans from the Witchcraft World Region joined the Trial Tower and used the Spiritual Energy Annihilation Cannon to seize territory, while Zhang Zhi blocked the sale of items tied to the Six Paths of Reincarnation Path.
• The Inner Cabinet received ancient records explaining that World Wreckages became Eerie Lands as eerie grew stronger by killing Intelligent Lifeforms.
• Zhang Zhi concluded that useful clues about the destroyed world were likely held only in unexplored, dangerous Eerie Lands or in records kept by powerful races.
• Zhang Zhi considered traveling to the Witchcraft World Region himself, relying on his Multiverse Map and opening a World Gate so human Main Gods could follow.

Zhang Zhi learned that Yan Bo had condensed a Second Flower of Merit by bringing lighting devices and hope to humans across thousands of worlds. After Yan Bo vowed to save the Celestial Dog World Region from Eternal Night by becoming a Main God, his Flowers of Merit began rotating, leaving Zhang Zhi wondering whether a Great Vow could create a new path to the Third Flower.

• Zhang Zhi inspected the Small World's rapidly expanding frontier in the Main World Wreckage and then entered the Trial Tower.
• Zhang Zhi noticed that Yan Bo had gained a Second Flower of Merit and asked how he had earned it.
• Yan Bo explained that humans across many worlds called him the God of Light after he distributed lighting devices and Trial Tower Key Cards.
• Zhang Zhi told Yan Bo that he had brought hope as well as light, and that his Merit could help him reach the Main God Realm and protect his people.
• Yan Bo vowed to condense a Third Flower of Merit and rescue the Celestial Dog World Region from Eternal Night, causing his two Flowers of Merit to rotate.
• Zhang Zhi questioned whether Yan Bo's vow had revealed another way to condense a Flower of Merit.

Zhang Zhi learned that Yan Bo’s Great Vow could speed his path to the Third Flower of Merit, though failing to fulfill it would bring severe backlash. Fang Long advanced to the Weak Divine Power Realm and joined Houtu in the Spiritual Treasure Small World, while Zhang Zhi’s class arrived to witness the Mind Devourer Main World nearing destruction.

• Zhang Zhi considered how Yan Bo’s Great Vow might help him condense the Third Flower of Merit and recalled information about the Main God Realm Barrier that he wanted to obtain.
• Zhang Zhi researched Great Vows and learned that they could hasten their fulfillment but would bring devastating repayment if left incomplete.
• Fang Long broke through to the Weak Divine Power Realm, becoming the Qi Refinement Small World’s third cultivator at that level.
• Zhang Zhi brought Fang Long, her researchers, and their equipment through the World Gate to Houtu’s territory in the Spiritual Treasure Small World.
• Zhang Zhi’s Combat Class arrived at the fortress and saw the Mind Devourer Main World scattering substances as it approached destruction.

Zhang Zhi received a Nine Revolutions Golden Lotus Seed from Professor Confucius, who intended it to help Fang Yun cultivate safely. Professor Confucius also revealed that the Trading Temple secretly drained humanity’s fortune during trades, though some exchanges with alien races restored it.

• Professor Zou announced that the Combat Class had no rules, and the students decided to conquer worlds together within one region.
• Zhang Zhi accompanied Professor Zou to the Trading Temple and met Professor Confucius among humanity’s high-level cultivators.
• Professor Confucius gave Zhang Zhi a Nine Revolutions Golden Lotus Seed that could reshape a body to cultivate any path and improve a World Master’s Mental Power.
• Zhang Zhi realized Professor Confucius had obtained the seed for Fang Yun and thanked him before storing it away.
• Professor Confucius explained that each Trading Temple trade took fortune from humanity and removed another mysterious thing, but trades with certain alien races could restore their fortune.

Zhang Zhi learned from Professor Confucius that the Trading Temple regulated racial fortune through exchanges, and that the Mind Devourers had lost much of theirs by repeatedly trading away priceless remains. Professor Confucius believed their dwindling fortune would make their plan to enslave Main Deities fail, leaving their fate nearly sealed.

• Professor Confucius explained that the Trading Temple could increase or decrease a race’s fortune depending on the value and significance of exchanged materials.
• Professor Confucius said the human race had discovered the Temple’s hidden effect early and identified three principles governing fortune-changing trades.
• Zhang Zhi speculated that the Mind Devourers’ decline and loss of powerful artifact refiners were connected to the Temple draining their fortune and future potential.
• Professor Confucius proposed that the Trading Temple was naturally created by the Multiverse to regulate fortune among races.
• Professor Confucius said the Mind Devourers had made more than ten disastrous trades involving remains of beings who broke through the Main God Realm Barrier, without realizing the cause of their declining fortune.
• Professor Confucius predicted that the Mind Devourers’ plan to enslave Main Deities would likely fail because of flaws in their Super Main God Artifact or its backlash.

Zhang Zhi learned about the dangers of Trading Temple missions and was tasked with preparing for humanity’s upcoming Grand Gathering, gathering Eight-Nine Mystic Cultivation Technique cards to help advance the Qi Refiner Path. In his Spiritual Treasure Small World, the Witch Clan confirmed it could reproduce, but its newborns had weaker bloodlines than their parents.

• Professor Confucius explained that assistance missions usually did not consume racial fortune, but some races used them as traps to kill visiting deities and steal fortune.
• Professor Confucius asked Zhang Zhi to suspend Combat Class, cultivate, and help improve the Mystic Pure Qi Cultivation Technique and Qi Refiner Path before the Grand Gathering in about half a year.
• Zhang Zhi requested Eight-Nine Mystic Cultivation Technique cards, and Professor Confucius gathered nine Yellow Rank, five Gold Rank, and two Cyan Rank cards for him.
• Zhang Zhi returned to his residence, left Zixia with Liu Wanwan and Liu Xiaoxiao, and entered the Spiritual Treasure Small World to cultivate and refine cards.
• Houtu and the Witch Clan witnessed a former Rabbit Demon and former Sheep Demon marry; six months later, they had three Witch Clan children.
• The Witch Clan examined the newborns and found their potential and cultivation efficiency were far below their parents’, revealing that the clan’s bloodlines had regressed.

Zhang Zhi investigated the Witch Clan’s unresolved bloodline questions and reviewed new records about the Eerie Lands, discovering credible evidence of a Main God Realm eerie being. He concluded that the Witchcraft World Region might hold crucial information for breaking through the Main World Barrier.

• Zhang Zhi considered the Witch Clan’s unanswered questions about bloodline degradation and recognized that they needed more members and information to investigate.
• Zhang Zhi found that zombies were multiplying faster than expected in the Spiritual Treasure Small World and worried that other forces might notice them.
• Zhang Zhi visited Fang Yun at Mount Buzhou, noted his rapid cultivation progress, and considered bringing him the Nine Revolutions Golden Lotus.
• Zhang Zhi examined the inner cabinet’s updated Eerie Land records and found a multicolored label marking a nearby Main God Realm eerie being.
• Zhang Zhi learned that a powerful race with thirteen remaining Middle Thousand Worlds had supplied detailed records and had once controlled three Great Thousand Worlds swallowed by the Eerie Land.
• Zhang Zhi concluded that the Witchcraft World Region could contain vital clues about the Main World Barrier and planned to explore it as his strength grew.

Zhang Zhi studied intelligence from a foreign race and confirmed that the Witchcraft World Region’s wreckage came from one enormous world, whose map might be Main Deity Rank and whose remains included a Main Deity Rank Eerie Entity. He arranged to gather more information and resources, then received two Eight-Nine Mystic Cultivation remnant cards from Professor Confucius and planned to fuse them into his Spiritual Treasure Small World.

• Zhang Zhi learned that a foreign race had risen by exploring the Eerie Land and found a special map depicting a world larger than ten billion Great Thousand Worlds combined.
• Zhang Zhi concluded that the map was likely Main Deity Rank and resolved to obtain a look at it by trading resources for information from the foreign race.
• Zhang Zhi confirmed that the Witchcraft World Region’s wreckage came from one world and that it contained an almost impossible Main Deity Rank Eerie Entity.
• Zhang Zhi visited the Mission Hall to identify the cultivator who submitted the materials and issue more information-gathering missions, then considered asking the university for ten or twenty thousand godheads.
• Professor Confucius sent Zhang Zhi two Eight-Nine Mystic Cultivation remnant cards and said Fengjing University had offered a high price to collect more.
• Zhang Zhi planned to fuse the cards he received into the Spiritual Treasure Small World, then show the updated cultivation method to Fang Yun after the Three-in-One Innate Spiritual Treasure finished deducing it.
