Chapter Summaries

Ling Yi discovered that hundreds of thousands of supernatural bats lived beneath Red Maple Mountain and used a Magic Seed to control one. After learning that supernatural creatures could grow stronger by consuming flesh and blood, Liu Changsheng worried about the threat and questioned whether the Magic Academy would create an uncontrollable force.

• Liu Changsheng explained that giant bats with destructive sonic attacks had attacked Baihai City, and Ling Yi revealed that an enormous colony remained in the cave.

Peng Wanqing struggled to learn Meditation until Shen Yue urged him to broaden his imagination by reading webnovels. Meanwhile, Ling Yi discovered that the soldiers had seven different magic affinities and approved a research department to develop spells beyond plant magic.

• Peng Wanqing's class learned that students who reached Magic Mage Apprentice level within a month could enter the gifted class and receive a magic seed, but Peng Wanqing failed to learn Meditation after a week.
• Shen Yue told Peng Wanqing that his rigid belief in science kept him from truly accepting magic and advised him to read imaginative webnovels for a week.

One month after the Magic Academy opened, Ling Ling explained how students could earn magic inheritances while Ling Yi built a hidden City in the Sky and Kairui spread Magic Seeds through the Pantheon Church. As ability users appeared in growing numbers and crimes surged, Zhao Feng asked Ling Yi to control criminals so the Special Incident Bureau could use their abilities.

• Ling Ling told the ordinary-class students they could earn only one magic inheritance by reaching Magic Mage Apprentice level within a year, while the genius class could earn more as they advanced.
• Ling Yi built a vast City in the Sky from magical plants and tethered it above the Magic Academy, concealing it inside a Spirit Nian space.
• Kairui founded the Pantheon Church, called purple Magic Seeds God Stones, and persuaded around twenty thousand ability users to use them; Amai Chou also shifted toward the Ancient Country after its leader met with the Ancient Country's top leader.
• Zhao Feng confronted Ling Yi about giving inheritance stones to outsiders and explained that the Special Incident Bureau was overwhelmed by the rising number of ability-user crimes.
• Zhao Feng suggested that Ling Yi control ability-user criminals and put them to work, and Ling Yi agreed that it was a good idea.

• Ling Yi opened his full-screen map and saw superpowered creatures covering nearly the entire region, then noted that they differed from Little White and the others.

Ling Yi and the Special Incident Bureau fought to contain the sudden outbreak of violent ability creatures, while Ling Yi investigated their energy and helped mobilize forces across Ancient Country. After nearly thirty million ability users joined the effort and Ancient Country stabilized, Liu Changsheng told Ling Yi that killing ability creatures strengthened nearby people.

• Liu Changsheng told Ling Yi that killing ability creatures let nearby ability users, Magic Mages, and ordinary people absorb energy and grow stronger.

Ling Yi warned Liu Changsheng not to undermine his role as the Magic Academy’s principal, while Ling Ling and the researchers developed magic that could switch between attributes. The authorities later launched nationwide admissions with a promotional video centered on Ling Yi, who was meanwhile communicating with a ball of light thirty thousand kilometers underground.

Ling Yi discovered that Blue Star’s planetary consciousness had created the conditions for ability users to grow stronger because it feared approaching planetary consciousnesses. He gave it a crystal of his magic legacy, hoping to help it prepare for the coming danger, but it said it had been unable to practice magic before.

• Ling Yi traced Blue Star’s energy underground and found its vast, fragile planetary consciousness, which said it had existed for 2.6 billion years.
• The planetary consciousness revealed that other planetary minds were approaching, with the nearest expected within ten years, and explained that catalytic elements from the moon could strengthen Blue Star’s energy.
• It told Ling Yi that Amai Chou’s moon-landing program had failed, while the Ancient Country had brought back catalytic elements that increased the chance of ability awakenings.

• Ling Yi gave the Planetary Consciousness a Magic Seed, and she began meditating as her true body contracted and condensed its consciousness energy.
• Ling Yi entered the crystal containing Blue Star’s 2.6-billion-year memory and learned about extinct human civilizations, powerful ancient species, and the origins of the Classic of Mountains and Seas.
• After three months, Ling Yi returned to his villa, where Shen Yao told him that a mind-related ability user had exposed the Magic Seeds and turned public opinion against the Magic Academy.
• Ling Yi recognized the uproar as a test by Liu Changsheng and others, and said he would leave Blue Star after the Planetary Consciousness revealed the directions to other planetary consciousnesses.
• Ling Yi expelled the magic students from the City in the Sky, erased their Magic Seeds and magic inheritances, and closed the Magic Academy, while preserving the first graduating class’s memories of magic.

Liu Changsheng confronted Cheng Guang after the Special Incident Bureau found Ling Yi’s vanished base, but every ability on Blue Star disappeared before Cheng Guang could use his hostages. In the City in the Sky, Lan revealed her plan to hunt other planetary consciousnesses, and Ling Yi refused to move Blue Star because doing so would doom its inhabitants.

• Liu Changsheng ordered Cheng Guang and the Special Incident Bureau to retreat, but Cheng Guang revealed he had controlled the agents and threatened Liu Changsheng with them.
• When Cheng Guang tried to make the agents attack one another, his ability vanished; Liu Changsheng killed him, then discovered that his own and the agents’ abilities had disappeared too.
• Blue Star’s planetary consciousness had unconsciously drained supernatural power while growing stronger through magic practice, stripping abilities from humans and supernatural creatures while leaving the first three thousand Magic Mages’ magic intact for now.
• Ling Yi met Lan, the planetary consciousness’s avatar, who said she had reached Demon God Grade and planned to devour other planetary consciousnesses to gain freedom and protect Blue Star.
• Lan asked Ling Yi to bring Blue Star within one light-year of another planet and said she had recorded every living being’s genes, but Ling Yi refused because leaving the sun would kill Blue Star’s inhabitants.

Ling Yi prepared Blue Star for migration through the universe and left it in Lan’s care, while keeping its people safe and avoiding a repeat of the dangerous New Era. After the moon vanished and Blue Star departed the Solar System, Ling Yi’s memories were unsealed and he began a new transmigration.

• Ling Yi agreed to help Lan take Blue Star through space on the condition that her true body remain on the planet, and he delayed the move for six months to protect its inhabitants.

After transmigrating into the novel as its villain, Ling Yi rejected Lin Yuan and focused on surviving the dangerous world and its protagonist. He received the Rehabilitation System’s rewards and headed to the Lin'an Club to retrieve the Heaven Devouring Art, leaving the reason for his restroom visit unexplained.

• Lin Yuan berated Ling Yi for pursuing her, but he walked away and resolved to avoid her and the protagonist.
• Ling Yi recalled the protagonist’s lethal Devouring talent, his own C-rank Strength Enhancement, and the Heaven Devouring Art hidden at the Lin'an Club.
• The Rehabilitation System activated and gave Ling Yi the Eye of Truth, Reversal Aura, and Mask of Deception, which could hide and alter his cultivation information.
• Ling Yi asked his driver Yu Sihai to take him to the Lin'an Club, where he planned to obtain the Heaven Devouring Art.
• At the club, Ling Yi told the doorman to take him to the second-floor restroom and told Yu Sihai to keep the car running.

Ling Yi learned the Heaven Devouring Art to perfection through his system and rapidly increased his strength at home. While testing his abilities, he discovered a strange force accompanying his perfected Dragon Fist and planned to copy the God Grade art in Lin Yuan’s jade pendant.

• Ling Yi returned home with the Heaven Devouring Art, and the system taught it to him at perfection, letting him strengthen his whole body at once.
• The system also perfected Ling Yi’s three original arts, and he learned that it could read the art in Lin Yuan’s jade pendant if he stayed within ten meters of her for three hours.
• Ling Yi tested his cultivation and measured Qi and Blood at 72 and strength at 2,200 kilograms.
• When Ling Yi tried to activate Dragon Fist, he sensed a controllable force that moved with his Qi and Blood without consuming it, which he thought was like momentum.

Ling Yi tested his perfected martial arts, discovered he could fly, and cultivated the Heaven Devouring Art near Lin Yuan’s home while the system read the God Grade art in her jade pendant. An Interworld Alliance inspector attacked him, and Ling Yi knocked her into a building before recognizing her as Liu Yun.

• Ling Yi tested Dragon Fist, Momentum, Nine Dragons Stance Art, and Dragon Leg, unleashing over 11,000 kilograms of force and briefly flying.
• Ling Yi flew from the Ling Clan estate to Lin Yuan’s building and began reading the art in her jade pendant while she cultivated inside.
• Ling Yi practiced the Heaven Devouring Art, drawing in Genki so forcefully that it created a growing funnel and gale around him.
• An Interworld Alliance inspector detected the Genki surge, reached the rooftop, and shot Ling Yi in the shoulder.
• Ling Yi struck the inspector with an enormous fist of Momentum, then recognized her as Liu Yun, a female lead from the novel.

Ling Yi struck Liu Yun after she mistook him for someone else, then negotiated for her valuable nano armor as compensation. After learning the Heaven and Earth Divine Yuan Art from the system and agreeing to go with Liu Yun, he warned her about Xu Mo’s Devouring talent and his plan to drain classmates’ cultivation, while seeking a way to tell Lin Yuan.

• Ling Yi told Liu Yun that Xu Mo’s upgradeable Devouring talent was draining classmates’ Qi and Blood, and said he planned to warn Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan began investigating Xu Mo after overhearing Ling Yi accuse him of stealing Qi and Blood, while Liu Yun tried to recruit Ling Yi into her clan. Ling Yi recognized that Liu Yun’s offer served her own ambitions and remained wary of her.

• Lin Yuan recalled that her cultivation had stalled and that Xu Mo always appeared in the cultivation room when she did, so she decided to obtain his diary for proof.
• Liu Yun explained that her clan withheld resources from members who had not reached the Qi Condensation Realm, and that she sought to return to its main clan.
• Liu Yun described Momentum as an exceptionally rare power and told Ling Yi that mastering three thousand forms could reveal a Realm Beyond Realms.
• Liu Yun urged Ling Yi to leave the resource-poor Ancient Star Realm and join her clan, promising that it would devote its resources to him.
• Ling Yi recalled how Liu Yun had manipulated him in the original story to gain status and resources, and understood that her recruitment offer served her own goals.

Ling Yi refused to join the Liu Clan without a Saint Grade cultivation art, then cultivated the Heaven and Earth Divine Yuan Art and created a powerful Primordial Spirit Clone. At school, he confronted Bai Qi and Gao Yao for trying to provoke Xu Mo against him, and the system rewarded him for clearing his name.

• Ling Yi demanded a Saint Grade cultivation art as his condition for joining the Liu Clan, and Liu Yun agreed to obtain one if he helped her kill two fugitives wanted by the Alliance.

• Lin Yuan used the principal’s information to break into Xu Mo’s nearby home, found his diary, and confirmed he had been consuming her Qi and Blood, mental power, and lifespan.
• Lin Yuan considered exposing Xu Mo but decided to give him another chance because of her bias toward the protagonist.
• Ling Yi’s first prize draw awarded him the Saint Grade Golden Crow Art, which the system had picked up from the Golden Crow Realm.
• Ling Yi realized Liu Yun might seek to control him if she could not obtain Golden Crow Art, and he planned to act first when they met again.
• During class, Xu Mo activated Devouring and drained Ling Yi’s Qi and Blood, mental power, and lifespan, but Reversal Aura repeatedly took much greater amounts from Xu Mo.
• Xu Mo grew visibly pale as Ling Yi welcomed the repeated reversals.

Xu Mo’s Devouring Talent drained his Qi and Blood, and Lin Yuan confronted him with a diary she believed was his. After Xu Mo convinced her he had been framed by Ling Yi, the two suspected Ling Yi had obtained the forbidden Heaven Devouring Art, and Lin Yuan decided to report him.

• Xu Mo discovered that his Qi and Blood had fallen below 20 points after using his talent, while his mental power had also sharply decreased.
• Lin Yuan invited Xu Mo to a restaurant and accused him of having a Devouring Talent, showing him a diary she had found at his home.
• Xu Mo denied owning the diary and showed Lin Yuan his class notes, whose handwriting differed from the diary’s.
• Lin Yuan and Xu Mo tested Xu Mo at school and confirmed he was still at the Qi and Blood Second Level, leading Lin Yuan to blame Ling Yi for framing him.
• Xu Mo suspected Ling Yi had exposed his secret and warned Lin Yuan against challenging the powerful Ling Clan before she grew stronger.
• Xu Mo suggested Ling Yi might be hiding his own use of a devouring technique, and Lin Yuan concluded he had obtained the forbidden Heaven Devouring Art and decided to report him.

Ling Yi learned that Lin Yuan had reported him for practicing the Heaven Devouring Art and planned to turn Xu Mo’s scheme against him. The Martial Special Bureau tested the students at school, and Ling Yi’s results showed no abnormalities, leaving Lin Yuan suspicious that he had been protected.

• Ling Yi watched Xu Mo persuade Lin Yuan to report him and realized the protagonist’s aura had made her believe the accusation.
• Ling Yi returned to school, where Xu Mo’s Qi and Blood began circulating by itself and gradually increased as Xu Mo memorized the unfamiliar method.
• The Martial Special Bureau arrived at the sports field after Lin Yuan reported Ling Yi, and Captain Huo Tao ordered the students tested for the Heaven Devouring Art’s devouring attribute.
• Huo Tao explained the report and the severe punishment for practicing the forbidden art, then began testing the students one by one.
• Ling Yi’s test showed Qi and Blood of 91 with no abnormalities, while Lin Yuan suspected the Bureau had tampered with the machine to protect him.
