• Li Ge explained his Energy Absorption ability and asked Cyclops to help replenish his energy at the school's training facility.
• Cyclops fired a low-output optic blast at Li Ge's foot, and Li Ge absorbed it without injury.
• Li Ge asked Cyclops to increase his glasses' output to maximum and stored the energy in his Divinity while Cyclops maintained the blast.
• Li Ge told Cyclops to stop once he had absorbed enough energy, then concentrated the energy between his hands.
• Li Ge manifested a deep red, sugar-cube-sized piece of redstone in his palm as Professor X and the others watched.

Li Ge introduced Redstone, an energy cube that connected to the universe’s source and gave him an effectively endless supply of power. The Professor warned him to keep it secret because humans would covet it and might target mutants to obtain it.

• The X-Men mistook Li Ge’s Redstone for compressed energy and thought Cyclops would have to keep supplying power, so Cyclops offered to help.

• Li Ge manifested and inscribed an ability to seal things as pictures, then used telekinesis to take a small piece of paper from his pocket.

• Li Ge used Telekinesis and a sealing ability to turn a blank card into a card depicting a blue cube, with a description of the space-opening ability.
• Li Ge explained that others could bind to the contents of his cards with a drop of blood, and that the stored energy determined how much power they received.
• The Professor worried Li Ge’s cards could spread dangerous creations, but decided against confronting him about it.
• Cyclops urged Li Ge to open his storage space so he could address Cyclops’s problem.
• Li Ge merged the spatial ability orb into his Divinity, where its blue block overlapped with the green block.
• Li Ge abruptly lost consciousness and fell backward, and Wolverine caught him and checked his condition.

After Li Ge collapsed while merging his space-opening ability with the laws in the grass block, the Professor searched his mind and found him creating a world within his Divinity. Li Ge remained unconscious as he guided the new world’s formation, while the Professor believed he was undergoing a transformation from human to god.

• The Professor probed Li Ge’s mind and found his consciousness floating in a vast, empty mental space.
• The Professor told the X-Men that Li Ge seemed to be transforming from human to god, after seeing him create a world in his mind.
• As the grass block’s laws surged into the newly opened space, Li Ge realized he needed to guide them to form a world.
• Li Ge drew his Divinity from his soul, entered it, and used the space-opening ability and Redstone energy to shape a block-filled world.
• The Professor arrived as Li Ge appeared to stand like Pangu creating heaven and earth, leaving him stunned.

Li Ge finished creating a virtual dimensional world and returned to his body, where the X-Men had been waiting for him to wake. He explained that the world was still tiny and virtual, while Cyclops hoped Li Ge could still help him fix his power’s flaw.

• The X-Men moved the unconscious Li Ge to the medical room, where Storm and Phoenix watched over him.
• Li Ge woke, and the Professor hurried back to hear him explain that he had created a virtual world that needed more energy or matter to become real.
• Li Ge said the usable space was only one cubic meter for now, but he might later invite the X-Men inside to experience its rules.
• Cyclops became excited at the prospect of fixing his power’s flaw, while Li Ge felt embarrassed that creating the dimension had delayed helping him.

Li Ge designed a Sharingan-inspired set of abilities to solve Cyclops's inability to stop his laser beams and give him greater control over his energy. He sealed the new ability into a card, ready to present it to Cyclops.

• Cyclops told Li Ge that his only requirement was to be able to remove his glasses, and said he trusted Li Ge to design the rest.
• Li Ge decided to give Cyclops a Sharingan-inspired power set, including a demon transformation and a giant armored Demon True Form.
• Li Ge designed the ability to store and control laser energy, perceive things, strengthen Cyclops's soul, and burn other souls.
• Li Ge manifested the ability on a card, showing a red eye with three tomoe and the description of its powers.

Cyclops bound Li Ge’s Sharingan ability card and transformed into a lava-armored demon, startling the Professor and the others. He confirmed that the transformation was an ability called Transform into a Demon and marveled at its power.

• Cyclops cut his finger and used his blood to bind the Sharingan card, which became a ball of light and fused with him.
• Li Ge told Phoenix that Cyclops’s eyes were connected to a space filled with optic blast energy and that he had designed abilities to help Cyclops use it.
• Cyclops’s body and clothes transformed into dark red armor, and a pair of horns grew from his forehead.
• Phoenix feared Cyclops had lost control, but the Professor used telepathy and found no sign of his powers being uncontrolled.
• Cyclops recognized his form as Demon Transformation and explained that he had used the energy from his eyes to activate Transform into a Demon.

Cyclops tested the demon transformation and Sharingan Li Ge had designed for him, discovering that he could control his optic blasts and see without his glasses. After the X-Men celebrated his new abilities, Phoenix eagerly sought Li Ge’s help, but Li Ge said her unusual condition would require careful thought.

• Cyclops controlled his transformed energy, explained his new abilities to Phoenix and Storm, and caught Wolverine’s surprise punch.
• The Professor thanked Li Ge for resolving Cyclops’s eye problem, and Cyclops promised to help Li Ge if he ever needed him.
• Phoenix asked Li Ge to help control her powers, but he said her situation was unusual and needed careful consideration.
• The Professor worried about the force inside Phoenix, Wolverine questioned whether Li Ge simply did not want to help, and Storm offered to assist with finding a solution.

Li Ge explained that Jean was the host of a Phoenix Force fragment and that a second personality in her mind had greater control over it. Jean asked him to help her control the Phoenix Force without destroying that personality, and Li Ge said he had a solution with serious consequences.

• Li Ge told the X-Men that Jean hosted a fragment of the Phoenix Force, an ancient power capable of destroying a planet.
• Li Ge explained that he knew about the Phoenix Force through an ability he had designed to scan and record information.
• Li Ge revealed that the professor's seal had contributed to a second personality emerging in Jean's mind, and that this personality was close to breaking through the seal.
• Jean told Li Ge she did not blame the professor and asked him to preserve her second personality while helping her control the Phoenix Force.
• Li Ge said he had a solution that would meet Jean's requirements, though it would have serious consequences.
