Chapter Summaries

After the Holy Empire’s warship destroyed Mafah City, Wang Pan abandoned thoughts of rebellion and returned to a peaceful life in Fancheng.

After completing a Life Simulation, Wang Pan earned an S+ evaluation, gained strength and a Legion Commander title, and bought the talent Diligence Can Compensate for Lack of Talent. While he struggled to detect its effects, Wang Xiangxiang entered a Medium Martial World simulation, where refusing an emperor’s marriage order led to her family’s destruction and years of pursuit.

• Wang Xiangxiang fled, but the Emperor sent Imperial Palace Experts after her and an army destroyed her family; over three years, she grew stronger while living under constant pursuit.

Wang Xiangxiang used Wang Pan’s protection to escape an imperial force, but his overwhelming strike devastated the Wuxia world and earned him the title Annihilator. After discovering that Wuxia worlds would now hate him, Wang Pan went home, cooked dinner for Zhang Yao, and learned that the special ingredients were affecting her body.

Wang Pan studied the Basic Talent, Diligence Can Compensate for Lack of Talent, while Huai Hua and Zhuang Lie killed Xue Zhen as he searched Jiang City’s dangerous streets. At a basement meeting, Wu Si decided the World Destruction Society would use Simulators as sacrifices, setting its sights on the Jiang City Simulator Administration.

Director Lan Hua revealed himself as a World Destruction Society member who had arranged Jiang City's crisis to gain power, while his daughter Huai Hua left the scene. At the mall, Wang Pan joined Han Yun and Bai Shan as a spatial channel opened, releasing an injured Infernal Demon Monkey before closing under the pressure of an unseen beast.

Wang Pan was born into the wealthy Wang family after receiving a talent that guaranteed him a rich and influential birth, and he quickly became a source of joy and hope for his parents and grandfather. By age five, he had learned that the family branches were scheming against one another and expected someone to cause the accident that would break his leg in the simulation.
