Chapter Summaries

Ling Yi and Shen Yue arrived on a Blue Star devastated by zombies and discovered that violent Spiritual Qi had spread across the world. They tested a mutated flying sword’s ability to refine the energy into Origin Spiritual Power, then compared their mutation abilities and turned to finding a way to save the world.

• Ling Yi and Shen Yue scanned Blue Star and learned that nearly all of humanity, including Shen Yue’s family, had died in the year since the zombie apocalypse began.
• Ling Yi discovered that zombies were roughly as strong as Body Tempering cultivators and that violent Spiritual Qi, possibly linked to the blood moon, was contaminating the world.
• Ling Yi summoned Jian Yi, whose mutated flying sword refined the violent Spiritual Qi into Origin Spiritual Power without known side effects.
• Ling Yi and Shen Yue compared their abilities and realized that Ling Yi could mutate Blue Star supplies while Shen Yue could mutate supplies from the Immortal Cultivation Realm.
• Ling Yi and Shen Yue set aside their envy and decided to find a way to save the world.

Ling Yi and Shen Yue investigated the blood moon, discovered that they could transmigrate again in about thirty days, and agreed to share information about their abilities. Ling Yi told Shen Yue that he would leave Blue Star once the apocalypse was resolved, though he might return to help.

• Shen Yue and Ling Yi deployed their consciousness equipment and ordered Little Jin to investigate the blood moon.
• Shen Yue explored Little Jin’s technological interior and learned how Ling Yi controlled the transformed Demonic Beasts.

• Ling Yi told Shen Yue that he planned to leave Blue Star after settling its crisis, and Shen Yue accepted his decision.

Ling Yi and Shen Yue compared their abilities and discovered that they could strengthen each other. They then used Ling Yi’s spy satellites to find an ancient lunar formation producing red mist, with two conscious light balls transmitting undecipherable text.

• Shen Yue told Ling Yi that her ability could mutate living beings and had bound about three hundred million Demons and Spirit Beasts to her.
• Shen Yue and Ling Yi discovered that their mutated beings and consciousness equipment had gained the Refinement function, and suspected their abilities had strengthened each other.
• Ling Yi projected spy-satellite footage of the moon, showing red mist streaming from it toward Blue Star.
• The satellites revealed thirty-six rune-carved stones surrounding black and white light balls whose mists combined into red mist.
• Little Jin reported that the light balls contained strong consciousnesses transmitting patterned but undecipherable text, and said reference data—not computing power—was needed to read it.

Ling Yi and Shen Yue captured the two mysterious light balls from the moon, but the struggle split the moon apart and left Shen Yue with soul damage. As Shen Yue recovered, Little Jin reported that Blue Star’s Spiritual Qi was fading and the zombie crisis was nearing its end, while Ling Yi wondered how to create an endless supply of mutated materials.

• Shen Yue used her Ability Space to capture the two light balls, while Ling Yi replenished her Spiritual Power as the ancient array resisted and the moon began to shake.
• The moon split in two before Shen Yue finally captured the light balls and thirty-six boulders, then fainted from severe soul depletion.
• Ling Yi checked Shen Yue, ordered Little Jin to use spy satellites to try to rejoin the moon, and learned Blue Star’s Spiritual Qi would run out within three days as the zombies rampaged.
• Shen Yue woke two days later and used a mutated three-thousand-year-old Green Fruit to repair her soul.
• Ling Yi envied Shen Yue’s ability to mutate Immortal Cultivation Realm treasures and wondered how he could make an endless supply of mutated materials.

Shen Yue collected the zombies across Blue Star while Ling Yi prepared to return to the Immortal Cultivation Realm and investigate the newly awakened third star. After they transmigrated, the original Ling Yi was unsealed, and he set off for another Original World as Yin Wanqing reflected that only two remained.

• Shen Yue collected the zombies, Zombie Beasts, and zombie plants in the Ancient Country, allowing its infrastructure and factories to begin recovering.
• Ling Yi and Shen Yue watched the severe collapse in countries Ling Yi had looted and agreed that Shen Yue would collect the remaining zombies before transmigration.
• Ling Yi gathered factories and production lines, and Shen Yue collected all the remaining zombies on Blue Star, bringing her space's total to five billion.
• After the third star in Ling Yi's second layer lit up, he and Shen Yue agreed to return to the Immortal Cultivation Realm so he could test his plans and the zombie army could develop.
• Ling Yi and Shen Yue entered a black hole, while the original Ling Yi appeared on the rooftop with Yin Wanqing and Uncle and discussed the Black and White Light Ball and their remaining Original Worlds.
• Ling Yi adjusted the Infinite Passive Transmigration Aura and vanished, while Yin Wanqing noted that the Data Boundary Breaking plan would soon be tested in the final two Original Worlds.

In the System Space, Ling Yi learned that he needed a million Heartache Points to save his real-world body and began his first mission as Lin Feng. After learning Lin Feng had fled because he discovered the plot, Ling Yi asked what had happened to him and who the true leads were.

• Ling Yi confirmed that completing missions earned Heartache Points, but the minimum of 100 per world meant he needed at least ten thousand missions to reach a million.
• Ling Yi entered world WQ0730201131 as Lin Feng, a technician who was secretly the heir to the Lin Clan.
• Ling Yi learned that Lin Feng had helped Liu Ruyan build her company after she saved him, but she later grew ashamed of him and planned to humiliate him at the company party.
• The system explained that Lin Feng had awakened to the plot and fled, but the world still needed him as a supporting character, so Ling Yi had replaced him.
• Ling Yi learned Liu Ruyan was also a supporting character and asked what became of Lin Feng and who the real leads were.

Ling Yi learned that Water Ball had secretly helped the original Lin Feng escape and laid out rules for completing the Heartache Points mission. After discovering his Rebound ability could counter even the Heavenly Dao, Ling Yi prepared to meet Liu Ruyan.

• Water Ball told Ling Yi not to return to Yan City before maxing Liu Ruyan’s Heartache Points, to ensure Li Heng obtained Fengyan Company’s AI technology and patents, and to keep his identity secret.
• Ling Yi received the starter-pack ability Rebound, which could return any harm at a multiplier he chose, up to one hundred times.
• Water Ball revealed that Rebound was a top-tier concept skill and that Ling Yi’s Karmic Luck exceeded the total Karmic Luck of the entire world.
• Ling Yi asked whether Rebound could counter the Heavenly Dao, and Water Ball confirmed that it could.
• Water Ball proposed adjusting their plan, and Ling Yi looked toward the door as it unlocked, ready to meet Liu Ruyan.

Ling Yi confronted Liu Ruyan over her contemptuous treatment and refused to sign away his valuable patent, instead using it to pressure Li Heng’s backer and sever his financial ties to Fengyan Company. He told Liu Ruyan their relationship was over and that he would settle their accounts for the past five years.

• Liu Ruyan came home, complained about Ling Yi’s service and food, and ordered him to dress better for the company banquet.
• Ling Yi ignored Liu Ruyan’s demands and called Li Heng, offering to sell the patent and core technology for one billion while threatening to make them public.
• Ling Yi called Uncle Li and ordered him to revoke the Lin Clan’s privileges for Fengyan Company and terminate its license to use the patented technology.
• Liu Ruyan realized Li Heng had pursued her to get the patent and asked why Ling Yi had let her be deceived.
• Ling Yi told Liu Ruyan that her cheating and being manipulated were separate matters, ended their relationship, and said he would settle their five-year accounts.

Ling Yi confronted Li Heng over the attempt to steal Fengyan AI’s patent and sold it to him for a billion. The contract revealed Wang Ziyue’s involvement, and Uncle Li recognized him as an illegitimate son of the Wang Family.

• Li Heng explained that he had planned to use Liu Ruyan to trick Lin Feng into signing away the patent, but agreed to pay a billion after Ling Yi contacted him.

• Li Heng signed the contract and stamped it with Myriad Transformations Technology’s company seal and Wang Ziyue’s personal seal.
• Uncle Li identified Wang Ziyue as a ruthless illegitimate son of the Wang Family and offered to warn the family.

• Ling Yi told Uncle Li to intervene only if someone crossed him, then left Li Heng and Liu Ruyan alone to talk.
• Li Heng warned Liu Ruyan about the Lin Clan, slapped her, blamed her for his predicament, and stormed out.

• Uncle Li told Ling Yi that his parents had brought back a stand-in young master three years earlier to shield him from trouble.

Ling Yi questioned the system about the story beyond Liu Ruyan’s storyline, the value of wealth carried between worlds, and the uses of Heartache Points. By bargaining over temporary hacking skills, he learned that he controlled whether the system could spend his points and that its prices were negotiable.

• Ling Yi learned that Lin Feng would likely face a stand-in young master after returning to the Lin Clan, though the system did not know how that storyline would end.
• Ling Yi confirmed that only Liu Ruyan could currently provide Heartache Points and learned that his interworld account could carry wealth back to the real world.
• The system explained that this world’s currency exchanged at about a thousand to one against the real world and that Heartache Points could power system abilities.
• Ling Yi discovered that combat ability cost 500 Heartache Points and top-tier hacking skills cost 1,000, then negotiated temporary hacking access down from 100 points per hour to 10.
• Ling Yi concluded that the system could only use Heartache Points with his consent and decided it was worth bargaining with further.

On the drive to Yan City, Ling Yi learned that the Lin Clan was close to collapse and used an hour of hacking skills to uncover its theft and transfer more than 270 billion from overseas accounts into his own. He left the chapter anticipating his return and the fallout for Lin Hui, while deciding to protect Lin Feng’s parents if the clan fell.

• Uncle Li told Ling Yi that infighting, lost businesses, and outside pressure had brought the Lin Clan to the brink of collapse, and warned him that Yan City knew only Lin Hui as the young master.

• Ling Yi closed the laptop and resolved to protect Lin Feng’s parents and leave them enough money if the Lin Clan collapsed.

Ling Yi returned to the Lin Clan estate and met Lin Hui, the adopted stand-in Young Master, who gave him a watch linked to a dangerous Damage Transfer System. Ling Yi accepted it, confident that his Rebound skill would protect him, while planning to claim the other system’s energy for himself.

• Jiang Yunzhi embraced Ling Yi when he arrived, then introduced Lin Hui as his adopted younger brother.

Ling Yi attended a tense family dinner after returning to the Lin Clan, where Lin Zhantian told him to prepare to join the company. Ling Yi countered Lin Hui’s verbal attacks and persuaded Lin Zhantian to give him three days before taking him to a board meeting, while saving the attacks for later rebounds.

• Ling Zhantian gave Ling Yi three days to recover before joining him at the company and repaying the Lin Clan’s investment in him.

After Liu Ruyan’s mission ended, Ling Yi learned that Lin Hui’s system could be devoured by draining Lin Hui’s karmic luck or killing him through reflected physical damage. Ling Yi chose to wait a few days before targeting Lin Hui, but after buying permanent martial arts power on credit, he confronted him at dawn.

• The system told Ling Yi that Liu Ruyan’s Heartache Level had reached 100%, giving him 290 Heartache Points.

• Ling Yi decided to enjoy life in the Lin family for a few days before making Lin Hui lose his temper, and learned Liu Ruyan was headed to Yan City.
• Lin Hui woke Ling Yi before six to follow the Lin Clan’s morning exercise rules, so Ling Yi bought Master-level martial arts and a physique on credit.
• Ling Yi grabbed Lin Hui by the collar and demanded to know whether he still needed to exercise.

Ling Yi showed Lin Zhantian and Jiang Yunzhi his strength and taught them the Tai Chi Eternal Spring Art, while Lin Hui plotted to transfer his investment losses to Ling Yi. Ling Yi rebounded the transfer, gained two hundred billion, and Lin Hui collapsed after seeing the result.

• Ling Yi lifted Lin Hui with one hand, demonstrated his strength, and promised to teach Lin Zhantian and Jiang Yunzhi a health-preserving art.

• Ling Yi taught the Tai Chi Eternal Spring Art to Uncle Li, then received confirmation that the two hundred billion came from virtual currency Lin Feng had bought five years earlier.
• Lin Hui saw the money in Ling Yi's account, spat blood, and passed out.

• Lin Hui brought Liu Ruyan to Ling Yi’s home while livestreaming, and Liu Ruyan said she had just arrived to wreck Lin Hui’s plot.

• Ling Yi’s water-ball system and Liu Ruyan’s golden system recognized each other as old schoolmates, and Little Jin praised Ling Yi as a Golden Legend.
• Little Jin explained that systems attended school and that graduates could bind to hosts, while the water-ball system described how defective systems were recycled.
• The systems described the Disillusionment Zone, Karmic Luck, World Origin, the Heavenly Mystery Technique, and the Probe Technique, and Ling Yi asked about Lin Hui’s system.

• Liu Ruyan gave Ling Yi her real name, Zhao Yun, then fled the estate to protect Water Ball and promised to compensate her for the unfinished mission.
