Chapter Summaries

Wang Pan entered the Challenger Tournament’s first stage, where contestants fought to be the first to clear their passageway. After killing six Simulators who attacked him, he considered how to strengthen his self-created Laws in his next Simulation World.

• The tournament organizers divided 135 billion Soldier Realm Simulators among passageways and announced that only the first to clear each passageway would advance.
• Simulators formed teams and rushed forward when the stage began, while Wang Pan stayed alone and observed the varied fighting abilities on display.
• Six Heavenly Soldier Realm Simulators attacked Wang Pan, but his Crimson Gold Law God Chain scattered their attacks and killed them.
• A hidden Tenth Stage Heavenly Soldier Realm Simulator witnessed Wang Pan’s Laws and forfeited the tournament in fear.
• Wang Pan realized that his Laws constrained his own actions and planned to explore Sole Supremacy in his next Simulation World so he could integrate its Laws and stand above them.

Wang Pan questioned the stage’s apparent simplicity after the Simulators encountered powerful familiars blocking the passageway. After the Simulators defeated them, a sword-wielding youth killed a challenger and then fell under Gongsun Qingli’s influence, leaving some Simulators too frightened to continue.

• Wang Pan considered the Simulators’ low-value assets and suspected that the stage involved more than fighting among themselves.
• Hundreds of Simulators united to attack the familiars, whose roars killed more than a dozen Simulators before the group overwhelmed and killed them.
• A sword-wielding youth taunted the crowd and beheaded a powerful bronze-red man with a single strike, frightening the other Simulators into silence.
• Gongsun Qingli asked the youth to protect her, and he fell under her influence and followed her away like a lifeless puppet.
• After Qingli and the youth disappeared, several Simulators withdrew while others chose to continue clearing the stage.

Wang Pan observed the simulators and revealed how Gongsun Qingli had surpassed the limits of Spirit to enslave the Sword-Wielding Youth. After Baby saw Wang Pan and fled the tournament, Wang Pan continued onward and appeared beside Gongsun Qingli, offering to protect her.

• Several simulators withdrew while others tried to rally the crowd against Gongsun Qingli, and Wang Pan recognized that her Spirit had broken its limits.
• Wang Pan watched the simulators without being detected, while Baby alone saw him and froze in terror as he stroked its head.
• Baby recovered after Wang Pan left and withdrew from the Challenger Tournament.
• Gongsun Qingli watched the consciousness-less Sword-Wielding Youth fight a black mantis and lamented that preserving his consciousness would make him impossible to control.
• Wang Pan appeared beside Gongsun Qingli and offered to protect her at close range.

Wang Pan overpowered Gongsun Qingli’s attempts to control him and blocked her withdrawal from the Challenger Tournament, forcing her to submit. He then carried her through the passage toward the First Stage’s exit, leaving her hopeful that crossing the Light Screen would free her from him.

• Gongsun Qingli tried to flee and then secretly attacked Wang Pan’s primordial spirit, but her efforts had no effect.
• Gongsun Qingli requested to withdraw from Life Simulation, but Wang Pan rejected the request and stopped her transport back to the Main World.
• Gongsun Qingli apologized and begged for forgiveness, and Wang Pan kissed her and declared that he had marked her as his.
• Wang Pan carried Gongsun Qingli past the Sword-Wielding Youth and the pitch-black mantis, who shattered as he passed.
• Wang Pan destroyed the tiger-headed, snake-tailed attendant beast with a glance and carried Gongsun Qingli to the Light Screen at the end of the passage.

Wang Pan revealed that simulators could break through passage walls and take advancement slots from other passages, then used his laws to open a route into a neighboring passage. Gongsun Qingli realized how overwhelming his power was as the other simulators fled.

• Gongsun Qingli pretended to regret leaving Wang Pan while secretly looking forward to escaping, and Wang Pan told her she could repay him during the tournament.
• Wang Pan explained that simulators could seize slots from other passages, and Gongsun Qingli tested the idea by striking their passage wall with her Heavenly Prayer Wheel Blade.
• Wang Pan summoned his Crimson Gold Law God Chains and used the Pan Dynasty's illegal-construction law to demolish the wall into a neighboring passage.
• The simulators fighting in the neighboring passage stopped in shock, then fled when their own attacks could not damage the wall and they feared Wang Pan and Gongsun Qingli.

Wang Pan and Gongsun Qingli reached the Second Stage waiting area, where Wang Pan explained the tower challenge and warned Cao Lin after he tried to court Qingli. The stage had not yet begun, and Qingli stayed close to Wang Pan while weighing how to benefit from the tournament.

• Wang Pan and Gongsun Qingli entered the Second Stage plaza and learned that simulators could not kill one another while waiting.
• Wang Pan told Gongsun Qingli that simulators had to climb towers and either hold the hundredth floor against ten challengers or clear all 333 floors to pass.
• Cao Lin challenged Wang Pan's claims and offered to protect Gongsun Qingli, but Wang Pan admitted he would abandon her if he faced certain death.
• Gongsun Qingli asked whether she could kill Cao Lin, and Wang Pan told her to wait until the Second Stage began.
• Wang Pan frightened Cao Lin with a vision of a Demon King, then left with Gongsun Qingli, who secretly marked Cao Lin and considered how to gain from the tournament.

Wang Pan entered the Second Stage of the Challenger Tournament and rapidly cleared the High Tower until he met Wu Tongtian, a former simulator now working for Life Simulation as a Temporary Worker. Wu Tongtian surrendered rather than face Wang Pan, securing Wang Pan’s advancement while revealing that he hoped to earn enough points to become a simulator again.

• After a day passed, the Second Stage began, and the Simulation Mark announced that simulators could climb towers, become Temporary Tower Lords, and fight one another.
• Wang Pan and Gongsun Qingli chose separate towers, and Wang Pan crushed his way through the floors at extraordinary speed.
• On the 333rd floor, Wang Pan encountered Wu Tongtian, a powerful Soul Body surrounded by ghosts, and learned that Wu Tongtian had once been a simulator.
• Wu Tongtian explained that he worked for Life Simulation and hoped to earn enough points to regain simulator status, while recognizing that Wang Pan’s power made fighting him hopeless.
• Wu Tongtian surrendered, and Wang Pan accepted his surrender and advancement.

Wang Pan reached the Third Stage as Cao Lin became Temporary Tower Lord, only to be defeated and killed by Gongsun Qingli. The tournament’s Hunting Mode rules were announced, and Wang Pan waited for the free-for-all to begin as another simulator fled from him.

• Wang Pan sat on the throne and advanced to the Third Stage while Cao Lin reached the One Hundredth Floor and became Temporary Tower Lord.
• Cao Lin accepted Gongsun Qingli’s challenge and attacked her, but she stripped away his flesh, destroyed his eyes, and burned him into pale liquid.
• Gongsun Qingli refined Cao Lin’s remains into one blade of her Heavenly Prayer Wheel Blade, then continued ascending the tower.
• Wang Pan waited as more simulators arrived in the Third Stage and immediately vanished after receiving the tournament notification.
• The Simulation Mark announced that the Third Stage was Hunting Mode, where simulators gained points by defeating opponents or could surrender their points to avoid being attacked.
• A simulator fled from Wang Pan, who dismissed the other competitors as no match for his strength.

Wang Pan watched the Third Stage’s brutal fights until a group of simulators attacked him, then used his Criminal Law to kill them and spared Li Hong. Li Hong withdrew from the Challenger Tournament, while Gongsun Qingli continued slaughtering simulators elsewhere.

• Martial Soldier Realm simulators fought over points and Simulation Points as the Third Stage began, while Wang Pan watched without intervening.
• A group of simulators agreed to attack Wang Pan together, but he activated his laws and used Criminal Law to kill them.
• Wang Pan pulled the fleeing Li Hong back before him, then left without harming him after Li Hong begged for his life.
• Li Hong realized he could not earn rewards and withdrew from the Challenger Tournament, resolving to repay Wang Pan for sparing him.
• Gongsun Qingli killed numerous simulators with her Heavenly Prayer Wheel Blade.

Gongsun Qingli fought Tian Yu in the Challenger Tournament, but Wang Pan intervened when Tian Yu tried to overpower her. Wang Pan crushed Tian Yu’s Natal Divine Weapon with one hand, and Tian Yu fled while Wang Pan and Gongsun Qingli remained together.

• Gongsun Qingli rejected Tian Yu’s offer to become his dao companion and attacked him with the Heavenly Devil Dance, Burial God Scripture.
• Tian Yu destroyed Gongsun Qingli’s attacks with his Ram’s Horn Hammer and knocked her down with Purple Divine Thunder.
• Gongsun Qingli addressed the unseen Wang Pan, who appeared to chastise her while Tian Yu grew uneasy.
• Tian Yu summoned heavenly lightning and hurled his empowered Ram’s Horn Hammer at Gongsun Qingli, but Wang Pan caught it with one hand.
• Wang Pan crushed the Ram’s Horn Hammer, causing Tian Yu to suffer a backlash and flee, while Gongsun Qingli nestled in Wang Pan’s arms.

Tian Yu tried to recruit Fan Chuan to help eliminate Wang Pan, but Fan Chuan saw through the danger and killed him instead. Wang Pan’s newly developed Wind Calling swept away Fan Chuan’s group and earned him a fortune in Simulation Points, leaving him eager to refine the ability.

• Tian Yu found Fan Chuan and asked him to join forces against Wang Pan, claiming Wang Pan had crushed his Natal Divine Weapon with one hand.
• Fan Chuan pretended to agree, then surrounded and killed the badly injured Tian Yu before he could forfeit.
• Fan Chuan’s group divided Tian Yu’s Simulation Points, and Fan Chuan mocked his former rival before urging the others to keep hunting simulators.
• Wang Pan’s black Gale Wind tore through Fan Chuan and the group, obliterating their bodies and souls as he collected their Simulation Points.
• Wang Pan told Gongsun Qingli that he had picked up many Simulation Points and decided to keep developing Wind Calling; Qingli declined his offer to teach her.

After Gongsun Qingli left to hunt simulators before they forfeited, Wang Pan began pursuing first place by killing more than a hundred simulators at once with his soul power. As the battlefield contracted, other powerful contestants slaughtered their rivals, leaving the remaining simulators with fewer places to hide.

• Gongsun Qingli left Wang Pan to hunt and loot simulators before they could forfeit, promising to give him the Simulation Points she gained.
• The Simulation Mark announced that the battlefield would keep shrinking, prompting many simulators to forfeit while others stayed to hunt.
• Wang Pan decided to claim first place and swept his soul power across the battlefield, killing more than a hundred simulators at once.
• The battlefield continued to contract, forcing the remaining simulators into an increasingly smaller space and killing some who were caught in Spatial Turbulence.

• A white-haired woman froze fleeing simulators, a Nine-Twist Begonia drained entranced victims, and an armored young man killed opponents as he advanced.

Gongsun Qingli killed the arrogant Lin brothers, then returned to Wang Pan as the shrinking tournament left more than ten thousand powerful simulators competing for the remaining places. As spectators debated whether the contestants heralded a great age or the end of civilization, Qingli slaughtered a woman who insulted her and Wang Pan.

• Lin Long and Lin Hu boasted about winning the top two tournament places after killing dozens of simulators.
• Gongsun Qingli killed Lin Hu and crushed Lin Long, then decided to seek Wang Pan's protection.

• Gongsun Qingli attacked the short-haired woman and the onlookers, killing many and shaving the woman's body down to bare bones.

During the Challenger Tournament melee, Gongsun Qingli and other powerful simulators slaughtered their opponents while Wang Pan watched and reflected on his talents and strength. When a simulator attacked him, Wang Pan stopped the arrow with a finger and killed its wielder with a Crimson Gold law.

• Gongsun Qingli killed over a hundred simulators with a single strike, and the battle across the field erupted.
• Lu Wushuang, the Nine-Twist Begonia, Ao Li, the Nine-Headed Great Serpent, and Snow Consort used their powers to kill and disable large numbers of simulators.
• Gongsun Qingli returned to Wang Pan and teased him about admiring Snow Consort; Wang Pan challenged her to master ten thousand laws, then sent her back into the melee to earn Simulation Points.
• Gongsun Qingli unleashed the Heavenly Prayer Wheel Blade, cutting through storm clouds and crushing dozens of simulators into Blood Mist.
• While Wang Pan contemplated the limits of his talents, a simulator with a Crimson Carved Bow shot at him; Wang Pan stopped the arrow with one finger and beheaded the attacker with a Crimson Gold law.

Wang Pan ended the battle among the simulators by revealing his overwhelming strength and declaring that he would take first place while Gongsun Qingli took second. The other simulators conceded after his more than ten thousand Third Level laws turned the arena into his domain.

• The simulators united against Snow Consort, Lu Wushuang, the Nine-Headed Great Serpent, Ao Li, Nine-Twist Begonia, and Gongsun Qingli, and the two sides reached a stalemate.
• The six powerful simulators demanded compensation, but Wang Pan appeared after Gongsun Qingli called for his help.

• Wang Pan revealed more than ten thousand Third Level laws, transforming the arena into his territory and leaving the other simulators unable to resist.
• The simulators abandoned thoughts of fighting Wang Pan and conceded.

Wang Pan watched the Soldier Realm simulators fight for the top three while Gongsun Qingli stayed by his side. After Ao Li and Snow Consort eliminated the other contenders, Snow Consort unleashed her prepared Ice Purgatory against Lu Wushuang, who answered with Blood Drifting World.

• Wang Pan made the remaining simulators resume fighting after the others forfeited, while Gongsun Qingli teased him about forgetting her.
• Ao Li and Snow Consort joined forces to eliminate the Nine-Headed Snake, then helped Lu Wushuang defeat the Nine-Twist Begonia.

• Snow Consort and Lu Wushuang teamed up to eliminate Ao Li, who realized he had been the incompetent teammate.
• Snow Consort began their final duel with Ice Purgatory, and Lu Wushuang broke his shackles and unleashed Blood Drifting World.

After winning the Challenger Tournament, Wang Pan returned to the teleportation area, where he punished Gongsun Qingli for teasing him. He received his tournament rewards and chose Exceptional Comprehension as his designated Peak Talent.

• Lu Wushuang's attack overwhelmed Snow Consort, while Wang Pan and the other simulators prepared to leave the tournament.
• Wang Pan told the other simulators to add him as a friend, then stepped through the spatial barrier to catch Gongsun Qingli and spank her.
• Lu Wushuang tried to cross the barrier, but Spatial Power flung him away and left him disoriented.
• Wang Pan received the Strongest title and the random Peak Talent Calamity Star Possession, which could bring misfortune to everyone nearby, including himself.
• Wang Pan reviewed the available Peak Talents and selected Exceptional Comprehension, hoping it would strengthen his spirit and help balance his cultivation.

Wang Pan returned from the Challenger Tournament after gaining Exceptional Comprehension, while Wang Xiangxiang anxiously waited for him at the hotel. He reassured her, but laughed at her snot bubble, and she chased him around the room before hiding under a blanket.

• Wang Pan gained Exceptional Comprehension, which strengthened his comprehension and primordial spirit, and remembered to deactivate Calamity Star Possession.
• Wang Xiangxiang worried during class that Wang Pan might lose the Challenger Tournament, then rushed back to the hotel after class.
• Fu Ling followed Wang Xiangxiang to the hotel, guessed she was meeting someone, and left without discovering the truth.
• Wang Pan appeared in the room and comforted Wang Xiangxiang, who had feared he would not return.
• Wang Pan laughed when a snot bubble popped from Wang Xiangxiang's nose, so she chased, punched, kicked, and bit him before hiding under the blanket.

Wang Pan made peace with Wang Xiangxiang and took her to the school cafeteria, where she invited her friend Fu Ling to join them. As they ate, Wang Xiangxiang made clear that she would not share her brother’s Simulation Points, reflecting the school’s warning that simulators could trust only themselves.

• Wang Pan apologized to Wang Xiangxiang, then promised to take her out for a feast.
• Wang Xiangxiang ordered an extravagant meal at the school cafeteria and paid thirteen thousand Simulation Points through her Simulator Account.
• Wang Pan noticed Fu Ling watching them, and Wang Xiangxiang invited her to join their table.
• Wang Pan suppressed the lingering attraction of his spiritual presence, leaving Fu Ling to see him as merely handsome.
• Wang Xiangxiang told Fu Ling that her brother was paying because she had no Simulation Points, while privately resolving not to lend Fu Ling his resources.

Wang Xiangxiang tried to pair Fu Ling with Wang Pan so her brother would stop acting strangely toward her, while Wang Pan later chatted with fellow simulators and threatened Lu Wushuang and Gongsun Qingli for joking about visiting his star. He kept his homeworld secret and left the group with a warning that he would beat Gongsun Qingli until she cried when they next met.

• Wang Xiangxiang asked Fu Ling to become her sister-in-law, but Wang Pan cut her off and the two siblings later parted from Fu Ling.
• Wang Pan returned to the hotel and read messages in his Simulator Chat Group.
• Lu Wushuang complained about his Peak Talent, then claimed he wanted to visit Wang Pan and bring him some warmth.
• Gongsun Qingli also asked Wang Pan for the name of his star, while Snow Consort warned them that they were risking their lives.
• Wang Pan entered the chat, refused to reveal his star, and threatened to beat Gongsun Qingli until she cried.
