Chapter Summaries

Ling Yi explained the paths to the Immortal Soul Realm and agreed to form a secret squad to fight high-tier exotic beasts, while withholding his rapid Soul Power method for now. He then used Creation to summon a woman and, the next day, reached for Zhu Chengyu in the principal’s office.

• Ling Yi told Liu Wenfeng, Qin Hao, and Zhang Meng about the two ways to reach the Immortal Soul Realm and offered to train a handpicked special operations squad.
• Ling Yi agreed that the squad would receive an official but top-secret designation, and revealed that the strongest exotic beast had reached the ninth tier of the Divine Soul Realm.
• Ling Yi told Lulu he planned to take an opportunity from Xiao Chen and make up for its effect on the protagonist’s growth; afterward, he used Creation to summon a woman and planned to test her combat strength.
• The next morning, Ling Yi went to the principal’s office, where Qin Hao introduced city lord Lü Cheng and city guard commanders Niu Badao and Zhu Chengyu.
• Before the others could react, Ling Yi suddenly reached out to grab Zhu Chengyu.

Ling Yi exposed Deputy Commander Zhu Chengyu as an Akel Liu Clan parasitic spider and revealed that millions of elite spiders could hide in Soul Beast Spaces. As Baihai City prepared to purge the Exotic Beast Cult, the Soul Beast Secret Realm opened, and Ling Yi told Xiao Chen that Bai Ruyan was among the cult’s leaders.

• Ling Yi controlled Zhu Chengyu and learned that Akel Liu Clan members with B-grade talent or higher could hide in Soul Beast Spaces, with Zhu claiming three million were on Blue Star.
• Zhu Chengyu revealed that Awakening Stones could detect the elite parasites, so Lü Cheng secretly ordered Niu Badao to test the city guards.

• Ling Yi told Xiao Chen that Bai Ruyan was a minor leader of the Exotic Beast Cult in Baihai City.
• The dry lake shook, black lightning flashed, and a spatial rift opened to the Soul Beast Secret Realm.

Ling Yi entered the Soul Beast Secret Realm with Xiao Chen and gave him Soul Power MEP to help him grow stronger and collect Soul Beasts. Ling Yi claimed the Soul Realm Stone for himself, and it fused into his mind, improving his intelligence and comprehension.

• Lulu appeared beside Ling Yi, identified the spatial rift as arc-form quantum transmission, and entered it as blue light.
• Ling Yi brought Xiao Chen into the secret realm, explained its dormant Soul Beasts and Soul Realm Stone, and gave him MEP that could raise him to Ninth Tier in three days.

• Ling Yi found the Soul Realm Stone, grabbed it, and demanded that it choose him instead of Xiao Chen.
• The Soul Realm Stone flew into Ling Yi's mind, and his system panel showed that World Consciousness was bound and could fuse with the Soul Beast Space.

Ling Yi killed Bai Ruyan after finding her acting as the Exotic Beast Cult's Holy Maiden, then spent half a month studying and recording his gains. Lulu returned with a breakthrough in her research on Quantum Transfer, claiming its structural state could grant godlike power, though she had not yet mastered spatial abilities.

• Ling Yi left the Soul Beast Secret Realm after telling Qin Hao to let Xiao Chen grow on his own, then waited outside for Lulu to finish her work.

• Ling Yi explained that Charles was helping free Exotic Beast Cult members in Dafeng City from the Akel Liu Tribe's parasitic control.
• Ling Yi spent the following half month at home studying and organizing the knowledge he had gained in other worlds.
• Lulu returned through a spatial rift and told Ling Yi she had discovered that all matter contained a structural state of Quantum Transfer, which could provide access to godlike power.

• Ling Yi opened spatial rifts using Soul Power hand seals and taught Xiao Chen and the special team to do the same.

• Ling Yi and Lulu spent the following week researching Soul Power Daoist Arts, then prepared to leave after a month in the world.
• Ling Yi discovered a bound World Consciousness entry and fused it with the Soul Power Space, which became unavailable in the real world.
• Ling Yi declined to say goodbye to Xiao Chen and the others, then exited the world as Lulu returned to his mind.

After returning to the real world, Ling Yi shared scientific knowledge with the Ancient Science Academy and gathered Daoist arts, but a string of disappointing transmigrations left him irritable. He paused transmigration to adjust to the decades he had experienced in other worlds, and the story ended after his high school entrance exams.

• Ling Yi sent scientific and technological knowledge to the Ancient Science Academy, which quickly established more than a hundred Southern Heavenly Gate Project initiatives.
• Lulu collected real-world Daoist arts and produced a Soul Power Version MEP, allowing Ling Yi to use Soul Power Daoist arts.
• During ten more transmigrations, Ling Yi gained little, though he practiced Daoist arts, gave Hung Chun-nam and Ip Man buffs, and delivered particle beam and hyper-curvature engine technology to the Ancient Science Academy.
• In the Rickshaw Boy World, Ling Yi used Mind Control to bring foreign leaders and financial conglomerates under the Ancient Country's lead.
• Ling Yi recognized that decades spent in other worlds, shifting identities, and few gains had made him irritable, so he decided to stop transmigrating and rest.
• While Ling Yi rested, Lulu planned to set up three laboratories, and Ling Yi remained in the real world until his high school entrance exams ended.

After the entrance exams, Ling Yi began his twenty-first transmigration and arrived in a world where his girlfriend, Ye Zihan, had died under mysterious circumstances. He learned that an invitation to Room 2808 of the Nanbin Hotel could reveal the truth and set out to investigate.

• Ling Yi reassured his parents that he had done well on the entrance exam, and Lin Ruoxi confidently said Ling Yi’s tutoring had prepared her for No. 1 High School.
• Lin Ruoxi invited Ling Yi to travel during the holidays, but he refused, and she ran off after punching him in the chest.

• Ling Yi read an invitation directing him to Room 2808 of the Nanbin Hotel before 10 a.m. on October 8, then headed out to find the truth about Ye Zihan.

Ling Yi joined nine webnovel authors summoned to a hotel room, where Zheng Feng revealed they were connected to a string of authors’ mysterious deaths. The group compared encounters with characters from their own novels, and Feng Ziming explained that the characters appeared for only three minutes; the meeting ended with the others recognizing her as a real martial artist.

• Ling Yi arrived at room 2808 with Feng Ziming, and Zheng Feng let them into a room with seven other webnovel authors.

The chapter ended with Jiang Wenshan warning that the ten authors could not kill their way through the billion-plus characters in the Literary World.

• Jiang Wenshan and the other authors compared how often characters from their completed novels appeared to protect or hunt them.
• Ling Yi asked whether the authors could kill the characters hunting them, prompting Zheng Feng to explain that the invitations came from the Literary World.
• Zheng Feng revealed that completed novels formed Literary Worlds, which fanfiction had caused to merge into a world between reality and illusion.

• Zheng Feng said the authors could enter the Literary World through their invitations, but Assassins could disguise themselves among the Guardians.
• Jiang Wenshan estimated that the Literary World contained over a billion characters and challenged Feng Ziming’s suggestion that the ten authors could kill them all.

Zheng Feng explained how the ten invitations were made and how they could enter the Literary World, while Ling Yi urged everyone to face the assassins by gaining Literary Qi. The group agreed to enter through Zheng Feng’s connection to Ye Zihan’s magical-fantasy world the next afternoon, and Ling Yi claimed he could obtain guns.

• Zheng Feng explained that he received Literary Qi after killing Aosituo, and Lin Chen used it to make the ten invitations and gave them to him to deliver.
• Ling Yi explained that they could enter the Literary World by tearing an invitation near a novel protagonist, then argued they needed its power to fight assassins and protect the real world.
• The group shared their assassination dates, and Ling Yi advised against entering through Song Haohan and Qin Lanlan’s xianxia world the next day.
• Ling Yi proposed entering Ye Zihan’s magical-fantasy world to hunt magic beasts for Literary Qi, equipment, items, and skills; Zheng Feng revealed that killing Aosituo had made him an assassin target.
• Everyone agreed to enter the Literary World the next afternoon, and Ling Yi said he could get guns.

Ling Yi established himself as a member of the 812 Special Affairs Group and gathered the webnovel authors to prepare for their fight. After discussing how Literary Worlds form, he brought guns for the group and took them to practice.

• Ling Yi returned with ten submachine guns, ten handguns, and ammunition, then followed Jiang Wenshan to the training ground with the group.

• After two hours of walking, Ling Yi spotted a pack of thirteen Black Flame Demon Wolves and assigned the group targets.
• Ling Yi and the others opened fire, killing the wolves in a brief battle, and Jiang Yue realized she had leveled up as Zheng Feng spotted what might be dropped equipment.

Ling Yi and the others leveled up in the semi-digitized Magic World region, collected equipment, and settled into a stronger routine after defeating magical beasts. Their discussion turned to hunting protagonists for their golden fingers, while Ling Yi kept secret that the Guardian and Assassin Factions shared the same leader.

• Zheng Feng showed the group how to open their data panels, and Ling Yi’s stats appeared as question marks because they exceeded the region’s detection range.
• The group rolled dice to distribute the wolves’ equipment and Fireball skill books, then fought more magical beasts until everyone reached level 5.
• When the group lacked supplies for the night, Ling Yi produced camping gear and food, and everyone set up camp and ate hot pot.
• Zheng Feng suggested that killing protagonists might make their golden fingers drop as loot, and Ling Yi explained that such drops might depend on each region’s rules.
• Jiang Wenshan proposed targeting the leaders of the two factions, while Ling Yi privately recognized that both factions had the same leader.

Ling Yi led the group through a magical beast stampede and weighed whether it was connected to the novel’s attack on Blue Stone City, while warning that the Literary World no longer followed its original plot. After the party reached level 7, he decided to give them cheats to speed up their growth.

• Ling Yi ordered everyone into the trees as a horde of first- and second-tier magical beasts thundered through their camp, then led the group away after the beasts passed.
• After killing Black Flame Demon Wolves, Ling Yi and the others discussed whether the horde was heading toward Blue Stone City and concluded that the novel’s plot and timeline could only serve as a reference.
• Ling Yi refused to let the group contact natives because doing so could expose them to assassins before they were strong enough to fight back.
• Yu Lan apologized for complaining about the lack of baths, and Ling Yi promised that everyone would be able to take a hot bath that night.
• The group gained only one level by evening, reaching level 7, so Ling Yi decided to give them cheats instead of making them grind for months or years.

Ling Yi brought a luxurious villa into the Magical Beast Forest and gave the protagonist group Soul Beast Master Awakening Stones and devices that rapidly strengthened their Literary Qi.

Ling Yi and the others reached level 99 after spending over two months grinding Magical Beasts in the Magic Beast Mountain Range, and they began clearing the last high-tier beasts to reach level 100.

• Ling Yi asked whether Writers had entered the Literary World before his group, and whether they were not the first batch.

• Feng Ziming admired the academy’s magic appliances, and Qin Lanlan pointed out they could work in the real world if the Literary World invaded and fused with it.

Jiang Wenshan proposed creating a powerful Literary World to control the invading Literary World, and Yu Lan agreed to write a short story about an AI protecting humanity. When assassins approached Dragon Capital, most of the group returned to the real world to write while Ling Yi, Guan Hu, and Feng Ziming stayed to fight; the chapter ended with them attacking the first wave.

• Jiang Wenshan suggested that the group create a completed short story with a powerful protagonist who could control the Literary World, and Zheng Feng and Ling Yi thought the plan might work.

• Ling Yi decided that Feng Ziming and Guan Hu would stay to fight while the others returned to the real world with invitation letters to write.
• Guan Hu charged into the assassins with a fiery area attack that defeated many of them, and Feng Ziming followed by unleashing lightning with Ling Yi's Soul Power Daoist Arts.

Ling Yi joined Lulu in the Primordial World mythology novel’s Literary World domain, where they discussed how cheats worked and whether to end the plot early. The chapter left Ling Yi unsettled by an unexplained feeling that something was missing.

• After the battle, Ling Yi chose the Sign-In System, Future Simulation System, and Travel Frog System to study their connections to the Dao of Karma, Time, and Space, while Feng Ziming and Guan Hu took other cheats.
• Ling Yi explained that cheats could not overcome a vast gap in strength, then left Feng Ziming and Guan Hu to act independently as he entered another Literary World domain.
• Feng Ziming chose the Get Stronger by Working Hard System and left to visit his novel’s domain, while Guan Hu chose the One-Punch Man System and stayed behind.
• Ling Yi reached Purple Cloud Palace and met Lulu and Literary Lord Hongjun, whose schemes had made him the sole Hongjun but left him only Human Immortal strength.
• Lulu explained that cheats were applications of Quantum Transfer and said she had perfected a device to capture it; Ling Yi proposed ending the world’s plot early.
• Ling Yi agreed that his arrival would end the plot early but said that something still felt strangely off.

After helping create a humanity-favoring Heavenly Dao in the Literary World, Ling Yi and Lulu attempted to crack his system, which led Lulu to merge with it and change his transmigration interval to once a month. Ling Yi reunited with Yin Wanqing in the Ling Realm, where she suggested leaving his next destination random.

• Ling Yi and his companions created a novel whose Literary World was absorbed by the main Literary World, giving it a Heavenly Dao that favored the Ancient Country and advanced its technology.
• After twenty years of studying the system, Lulu entered its core despite Ling Yi's objections, and Ling Yi's memories were unsealed.
• Ling Yi's original body revealed that the system core was his private space, sent Lulu back with altered memories, and returned to the Ling Realm while his clone remained in the real world.
