Chapter Summaries

Li Si said goodbye to Tiya as Ai Wen took her through a portal to Can Guang City, then continued toward the desert in search of the Azus Temple. In Carlisle City, he found information broker Huo Lan and asked for the location of a suspected ruin, leaving Huo Lan visibly startled.

• Ai Wen opened a portal to Can Guang City, and Tiya reluctantly left Li Si after he promised to visit her soon.
• Li Si reflected on Ai Wen’s recent training and set out to find the Azus Temple beneath the desert sands.
• Li Si arrived in Carlisle City, where mercenaries gathered to trade supplies and rumors about nearby ruins.
• Li Si located information broker Huo Lan in an open-air tavern and asked for the location of the desert vortex suspected to conceal a ruin.
• Huo Lan stared at Li Si in disbelief after hearing his request.

Li Si forced Huo Lan to reveal the location of a suspected Desert Vortex and found the ancient temple of Azuth beneath the desert. He stood before its entrance, where a special trial awaited him.

• Li Si confronted Huo Lan in a Carlisle City tavern and used his overwhelming power to make him reveal the Desert Vortex's location.
• Li Si paid Huo Lan two hundred Gold Coins and an emerald, then left while mercenaries plotted to follow Huo Lan and steal the information.
• Huo Lan evaded the mercenary tail, collected his hidden wealth, and fled Carlisle City rather than risk drawing trouble from Li Si.
• Li Si traveled to the Desert Vortex two hundred kilometers west of Carlisle City and plunged into it.
• Li Si emerged beneath the desert before the ancient temple of God of Illusion and Knowledge Azuth and remembered that a special trial guarded its entrance.

Li Si overcame the Azus Temple’s barrier with a divine spell and entered after meeting its powerful guardian, a Sacred White Elephant. The elephant explained that knowledge from the temple required an equal exchange, and Li Si asked what he must offer to learn its divine spells.

• Li Si failed to penetrate the temple’s protection with his Mental Power, but used Enhance Resistance to pass its repelling barrier.
• The temple doors opened for Li Si, and a Sacred White Elephant emerged to question why he had come.
• Li Si said he sought knowledge, and the elephant explained that visitors had to trade Extraordinary knowledge of equal value.
• The white elephant led Li Si into the temple, where rows of tablets held divine spell knowledge.
• Li Si asked the white elephant what price and knowledge he must offer to learn the spells.

Li Si discovered that the Knowledge Holy Crystal valued modern spell knowledge as new, allowing him to unlock every divine spell tablet in the Azus Temple at little cost. He began collecting their inheritances, gaining Legendary divine spells and declining the priest specialties they triggered.

• The white elephant explained that Li Si had to trade extraordinary knowledge through the Knowledge Holy Crystal to obtain divine spells.
• Li Si tested the crystal with ancient and modern versions of the Light Spell and found that modern knowledge unlocked more tablets because it was new to the crystal.
• Li Si continued trading knowledge until every Divine Art Stone Tablet in the temple lit up, and the white elephant let him proceed.
• Li Si received the Legendary undead divine spell Undead Scourge and declined the Underworld Envoy priest specialty it triggered.
• Li Si received the Legendary divine spell Miracle Spell, declined the Miracle Favored One specialty it triggered, and then obtained the Legendary divine spell Summon Elemental Lord.

Li Si mastered more than a thousand divine arts and chose the Priest specialty Chaos Faith Convergence, which let him absorb and refine faith into Chaos Faith Power. After sensing the new power inside him, he was asked by an unseen speaker what it was.

• Li Si considered and rejected several Priest specialties because they depended on serving a deity, then unlocked Chaos Faith Convergence after learning over a thousand divine arts.
• Li Si accepted Chaos Faith Convergence after passing its requirements, and the system offered him the special class Chaos Missionary, which he refused.
• Li Si gained a new sense for Faith Power and began absorbing it, discovering that he could accumulate one point of Chaos Faith Power per minute.
• Li Si refrained from using the unfamiliar power in Azuth's temple, but an indifferent voice asked him to explain the vigorous power within him.

Li Si met Azuth, who had descended into the temple through the white elephant incarnation, and learned that the god had noticed his unusual powers. Azuth rewarded him by advancing his Wisdom and Fantasy domains, then asked him for a promise, leaving Li Si wary of what the god wanted.

• Li Si recognized the man on the altar as Azuth and realized the white elephant had been the god's hidden incarnation.
• Azuth explained that outsiders entering the temple had prompted him to descend, and that he was curious about Li Si's unusual ability to learn divine spells and his Extraordinary Domains.
• Li Si admitted to his special talent and his breach of the temple's knowledge-exchange rules, but Azuth dismissed the need for compensation and identified him as a World Tree favored one.
• Azuth gave Li Si a gift that raised his control over the Wisdom and Fantasy domains to the Third Layer.
• Azuth sensed that Li Si's Wisdom Domain was more profound than an ordinary Knowledge Domain and asked him for a promise in exchange.

Li Si received gifts of power from Azus, the God of Knowledge, in exchange for two vague promises to be fulfilled after he became a god. After absorbing Azus’s Faith Core, Li Si discovered that his Chaos Faith Power accumulated faster as he possessed more of it and prepared to test its effects.

• Li Si questioned Azus about the promise he owed, and Azus said he would decide what to ask after Li Si ascended to godhood.
• Azus revealed that he knew Li Si possessed the Wisdom Domain, but Li Si suspected he wanted to claim it and remained wary.
• Azus drained the temple’s Faith Power into a sphere and forced it into Li Si, declaring that Li Si now owed him two promises.
• Li Si absorbed the Faith Core’s power, gained experience and Chaos Faith Power, and left the darkened temple.
• In the desert, Li Si saw that his Chaos Faith Power had reached 16,646 points and reasoned that having more power increased his absorption rate.
• Li Si concluded that Chaos Faith Convergence could let him take Faith Power from other churches and raised his hand to test the power’s effects.

Li Si reached level 200, passed the Legendary rank evaluations, and received a quest to defeat an Extraordinary Professional legion alone. He considered where to find a suitable legion, then the story shifted to Cardiff Kingdom, where Queen Deliya faced a political crisis over Duke Pao’s marriage proposal and powerful army.

• Li Si used Chaos Faith Power to cast Holy Word and discovered that its divine pressure now came from himself rather than a god.
• Li Si sensed that Chaos Faith Convergence might help with the Sphinx Ascension to Godhood Art, but decided he first needed to reach Legend.
• Li Si spent nearly all his stored experience to reach level 200 and passed all three Legendary breakthrough evaluations.
• Li Si received the quest One Man Breaks the Army, requiring him to defeat an Extraordinary Professional legion alone, and considered where to find one.
• In Cardiff Kingdom’s capital, ministers argued over whether Queen Deliya should arrest Duke Pao, whose Magic Lion Legion made him difficult to challenge after he proposed marriage to her.
• Deliya ended the ministers’ argument and left for a guarded room deep within the royal palace.

Queen Deliya visited the Cardiff Kingdom’s hidden World’s Gate, hoping to activate its array, when it suddenly opened and brought Li Si from Gaia World into the chamber. After learning that the Pocket World had no Legendary-level powerhouses, Li Si declared that it belonged to him.

• Deliya studied the World’s Gate and worried about Duke Pao’s growing power and demand to marry her.
• Deliya channeled her magic into the array, which unexpectedly activated and summoned Li Si.
• Li Si introduced himself as an outsider from Gaia World, and Deliya asked whether he had come from there.
• Li Si asked whether the Pocket World had any Legendary Majesties, then claimed it as his own when Deliya’s reaction suggested it did not.

• Li Si took Deliya from the underground chamber to the sky above Diaz, the royal capital.
• Li Si cast the Seventh-Circle Spell Limited Wish Spell and the Ninth-Circle Arcane Destruction Thunder Domain over the city, leaving Deliya wondering if he was a Legend.

Li Si used the threat of a ninth-circle spell to force Queen Deliya to submit, then learned about the Cardiff Kingdom’s extraordinary legions and valuable mineral deposits. Deliya pledged the kingdom’s loyalty, and Li Si prepared to eliminate Duke Pao and take control of the Berserk Bear Legion.

• Li Si's Wisdom Domain ascended into a Legendary Realm, and the Self-Transformation reward triggered a second ascension that raised his Storm Domain as well.
• Li Si tested his new strength by destroying the mountain above the vein and shattering a nearby mountain with his body, then checked his updated attributes and felt ready to fight someone.

Li Si returned to Dan'erluo Port, then traveled to Ether City to confront Storm of Fury, Andrew Joseph. He summoned flaming meteors over the capital to draw Andrew out and left him crashing into the city walls with a single punch.

• Mora found the Space Channel to Fies City twisting dangerously and suspended its use.
• Li Si arrived at Dan'erluo Port with armed subordinates and brass-colored chests, then left Mora to receive them.
• Li Si teleported through the Gordon Kingdom to Ether City, where he demanded that Andrew come out and threatened the capital with fiery meteors.
• Andrew arrived and was struck by Li Si before he could speak, crashing into Ether City's walls.

• Li Si met Joyce in Dan'erluo Port, and Joyce congratulated him on becoming Legendary.
• At Kane Castle, Li Si told Deliya that her people could stay in his territory, then instructed her to arrange their settlement.
• Li Si confirmed his Legendary breakthrough to Mora and said he would stay in the territory but did not want a public celebration or widespread news of his achievement.
• Mora told Li Si that King Morton had been appearing less often and that the succession remained undecided; Li Si decided not to seek out Tiya yet.
• Li Si left Mora and secretly went to Lisa, while Joyce sensed where he had gone and complained about him.

Li Si reunited with Lisa and Joyce at Kane Castle, then traveled with Joyce to Azera Floating City to claim control of it. After Li Si and Joyce defeated the Legendary Elemental Golem, the door to the city's core control room opened.

• Li Si noticed Lisa had reached level 180 and continued helping her train when he visited Dan'erluo Port.

• Li Si asked why Azera Floating City had fallen and whether its fate was linked to the Netheril Magic Empire’s disappearance, and Azera connected both events to Magic Net Goddess Mystra.
• Azera explained that Great Arcanist Keo Holmes had left the city after receiving a message, and the Magic Net Great Collapse occurred three days later, killing many mages when their memorized spells and magical power vanished.
