Chapter Summaries

Ling Yi repeatedly fought Hulk in the desert and gained Constitution points by striking him with gamma-ray light energy particles, which caused Hulk to grow stronger and transform through escalating stages. After Tony was nearly killed by one of Hulk’s punches, Ling Yi realized his gamma particles were fueling Hulk’s regeneration, removed them from his beam, and left Banner restored after plundering 8,000 Constitution points.

• Ling Yi flew Banner to the desert, let him transform into Hulk, and used green beams to knock Hulk down and gain 500 Constitution points.
• Ling Yi had Banner summon Hulk again; Hulk transformed into a larger second stage, and Ling Yi gained 800, then 1,000 Constitution points as Hulk grew further.
• Tony arrived, underestimated Hulk, and was punched into the desert, losing his Energy Shield before flying back to Ling Yi.
• Tony pointed out that Ling Yi’s beams resembled the green light from Hulk, and Ling Yi realized his gamma-ray light energy particles were triggering Hulk’s regeneration and growth.
• Ling Yi removed the gamma particles from his beam, defeated Hulk without triggering another recovery, and plundered 8,000 Constitution points as Banner returned to normal.

Banner regained control of himself and accepted Ling Yi’s offer to work in his laboratory, while Tony traded a month of work for enchanted flight equipment. When Ross arrived to seize Banner, Ling Yi declared Banner his employee, and Mindy forced Ross to retreat; the group then returned inside to celebrate.

• Banner tried to summon Hulk, but Hulk refused to come out, and Banner ate four boxes of pizza.
• Ling Yi offered Banner a job in his laboratory and gave him a flight ring, while Tony agreed to work for Ling Yi for a month in exchange for another ring.
• Ling Yi and the others returned to find Rhodey, Mindy, and Damon talking, and Rhodey arranged to buy enchanted equipment secretly on Tony’s tab.
• Ross arrived with soldiers and demanded that Banner come out, but Ling Yi declared Banner his employee and told Ross to leave.
• Mindy charged Ross’s men, overturned an armored vehicle, and held her blade to Ross’s shoulder, prompting him to retreat.
• Ling Yi went to cook with Banner, while Rhodey teased Mindy and Damon remarked that Ling Yi seemed to have changed.

Ling Yi caught Scott attempting to steal his enchanted equipment, then traded enchantments for Hank Pym’s technology and Pym Particles. After discovering a rare space-control modifier, Ling Yi realized he needed new equipment that could hold more modifiers.

• Ling Yi caught Scott, who confessed he had come to steal enchanted equipment, and restrained him with electromagnetic control.
• Ling Yi brought Scott to Hank Pym and negotiated for Pym Particles Technology and half of Hank’s Pym Particles in exchange for enchanting the quantum craft and Ant-Man Armor.
• Hank accepted Ling Yi’s offer, and Ling Yi enchanted both devices before leaving with a case of Pym Particles.
• Hank prepared to begin the next morning’s mission to rescue his wife from the Quantum Realm, now more confident with the enchanted equipment.
• Ling Yi discovered the system had refreshed its modifier to Touch of Space and tested its powerful spatial control.
• Ling Yi decided to discuss building new equipment with Tony and the others so he could stack more modifiers.

Tony and Banner planned an enormous enchanted sphere, while Ling Yi benefited from Tony’s new light-concentrating chamber. The Ancient One traded Ling Yi the Darkhold for enchanted Sling Rings, leaving him to conclude that his world was a young branch of the Sacred Timeline.

• Tony and Banner decided to build a huge sphere designed to hold as many enchantment affixes as possible, and Tony proposed expanding Ling Yi’s laboratory.
• Banner suggested incorporating Dr. Helen Cho’s Cradle of Life technology so the equipment could serve multiple purposes.
• Ling Yi used Tony’s light-concentrating chamber to absorb light energy faster and continued progressing toward a complete transformation.
• The Ancient One sent Ling Yi the Darkhold and Sling Rings through a portal and asked him to enchant the rings.
• Ling Yi enchanted the Darkhold with Prayer of Light and filled the Sling Rings with nine affixes each.
• Ling Yi interpreted the exchange as a sign that the Ancient One was watching him without hostility and that his world was a young branch of the Sacred Timeline.

Ling Yi took complete control of the Darkhold, exposed Walf’s schemes, and reshaped the book spirit while severing the book’s connection to Chthon. A week later, he served his magical dark cuisine to his companions, and Helen Cho reluctantly tried the mushroom beast soup.

• Walf urged Ling Yi to devour the Darkhold’s undead, but Ling Yi revealed that Walf had been stealing soul power and plotting against Chthon.
• Ling Yi used his control of the Darkhold to reshape Walf into a tiny fairy-like Book Spirit and ordered her to guard the book without appearing.
• Ling Yi severed the Darkhold’s connection to Chthon, added his stored status skill stones to the book, and sent it into a pocket space.
• The Ancient One sensed that the problem was resolved and studied the spatial power she had observed through a modifier.
• A week later, Ling Yi served mushroom beast soup to his companions, and Mindy glowed briefly after eating it.
• Helen Cho questioned the soup’s safety, then cautiously took a spoonful after Stark assured her it was good.

By 2012, Ling Yi had become so powerful that Loki’s invasion barely interested him, and he visited the Ancient One while the Avengers fought the Chitauri. The Ancient One pointed him toward the Time Variance Authority and suggested he help prune the Sacred Timeline before its branches made time collapse.

• Ling Yi recalled that Spider-Man and Mindy had quickly killed Abomination and that Tony had stopped Ivan Vanko with an Enchantment Ball.
• Ling Yi explained how he had spent four years visiting magical dimensions, defeating dimensional demon gods such as Dormammu and gathering ingredients.
• As the Chitauri invaded, Ling Yi left the battle to visit the Ancient One, who said Dormammu needed to remain alive as a trial for Strange.
• Ling Yi asked about the Infinity Stones, and the Ancient One explained they lost their value outside their current dimension.
• The Ancient One told Ling Yi that he could find the Time Variance Authority through the Sacred Timeline and urged him to prune its branches before time became unable to continue.

Ling Yi crossed into what he believed was the Marvel main timeline to investigate why the future Avengers had never appeared. He discovered that nearly all the Avengers were dead and confronted the fugitive Natasha, who also wanted to know the truth.

• The Ancient One told Ling Yi that she could not explain the Time Variance Authority and said he would eventually cross dimensions.
• After Loki was defeated, Ling Yi returned home and learned that the Mind Scepter and Tesseract were in Tony’s hands, while Mindy was reluctant to see Ling Yi leave.
• Ling Yi used the Darkhold to locate the main timeline, gained the refreshed Touch of Replication modifier, and stepped through a rift, leaving the Darkhold behind.
• Ling Yi arrived in a world where it was 2012 and discovered that Tony, Thor, Hulk, and Hawkeye were dead, while Captain remained frozen and Natasha was a fugitive.
• Ling Yi appeared in front of Natasha and asked how Tony, Barton, and Hulk had died, and she replied that she wanted the truth too.

Ling Yi met Natasha and learned that Tony, Hulk, Barton, and Thor had died under mysterious circumstances, apparently as part of an effort to prevent the Avengers from forming. He resolved to investigate the shadowy enemy, protect Natasha, and pursue leads involving Captain, Thor’s hammer, Asgard, and Kamar-Taj, while admitting he could not return to his original dimension without the Darkhold.

• Natasha fired three shots at Ling Yi, then agreed to talk with him at a café after realizing he was impervious to bullets.
• Natasha recounted that Tony collapsed after she injected him with lithium dioxide, while Hulk exploded after an unexplained attack caused Banner to transform.
• Natasha told Ling Yi that Barton died in prison without warning and that Thor had also died, leaving Nick, Captain, and Ling Yi as the remaining potential Avengers.
• Ling Yi theorized that the killer came from the future of a parallel dimension and warned that Asgard would demand answers for Thor’s death.
• Ling Yi told Natasha he would protect her, then planned to find Captain, investigate Thor’s hammer, contact Asgard, and visit Kamar-Taj.
• Ling Yi used magic to lift Natasha into the sky and carried her toward Kamar-Taj.

Ling Yi fought the Ancient One after she mistook him for a dimensional invader, then returned the Time Stone and convinced her they were not enemies. Over tea in Kamar-Taj, she agreed to give him the Darkhold if he helped defeat Dormammu, but Ling Yi revealed he had already beaten him.

• Ling Yi took Natasha to Kamar-Taj, where the Ancient One confronted him and attacked him as an enemy of her dimension.
• Ling Yi and the Ancient One exchanged powerful spells in the Mirror Dimension while Natasha watched from below.
• After the Ancient One relied on the Time Stone to evade Ling Yi's attacks, he outpaced her and took the Stone, then returned it and explained that he was not her enemy.
• The Ancient One used the Time Stone to see that Ling Yi would become her friend, ended the fight, and explained that the Sacred Timeline had infinite possibilities and no fixed protagonists.
• Back in Kamar-Taj, the Ancient One offered Ling Yi the Darkhold in exchange for help against Dormammu, and Ling Yi told her he had already beaten him.

Ling Yi secured the Darkhold, gave Natasha control of Mjolnir, and confronted Odin after sending Loki and his army into the Mirror Dimension. Odin withdrew from Earth and began reconsidering Hela as his successor, while Ling Yi and Natasha headed to the Arctic.

• Ling Yi reshaped Walf and took the Darkhold from the Ancient One before returning to Earth with Natasha.
• Ling Yi claimed Mjolnir, then gave it to Natasha, who gained the hammer’s armor and power.
• Ling Yi challenged Odin and sent Loki and the Asgardian army into the Mirror Dimension when Odin refused to recall them.
• Odin arrived, failed to harm Ling Yi, agreed to withdraw his forces from Earth, and set a half-month deadline for an explanation of Thor’s death.
• Odin told Loki he would inherit Asgard, then reconsidered and thought Hela might be a better successor.
• Ling Yi and Natasha left Nick behind and appeared in the Arctic a day later.

Ling Yi and Natasha lured out Hank Pym, who had killed the Avengers in revenge for Thanos’s snap, and Ling Yi learned that the world had no Time Variance Authority. He left to consult the Ancient One about the existence of multiple Sacred Timelines and learned he might be able to carry the Darkhold as an energy construct.

• Ling Yi and Natasha found Steve Rogers dead, and Natasha warned that Nick Fury might be the mastermind’s next target.
• Ling Yi protected Nick with magic, and he and Natasha staged a public fight to draw the hidden killer out.
• Ling Yi sensed an energy ripple, pulled the area into the Mirror Dimension, and revealed Hank Pym hiding in Ant-Man armor.
• Hank blamed the Avengers for Thanos killing Hope and Janet, and Ling Yi realized Hank had traveled from a parallel dimension using the Quantum Realm.
• Ling Yi removed Hank from his armor, stored the armor, and returned the three of them from the Mirror Dimension before heading to Kamar-Taj.
• The Ancient One said the world had no Time Variance Authority and suggested Ling Yi imprint the Darkhold into his mental world so it could travel as an energy construct.

Ling Yi created the Devouring Ling Realm to secretly gather karmic luck and origin while a clone traveled through Marvel timelines, then decided to break from his familiar transmigration formulas. He entered a new world as a rabbitman on the planet Subosita and discovered that his Popular Science Makes You Stronger System had activated.

• Ling Yi watched an alternate Captain America story unfold, then let a clone continue traveling through Sacred Timelines while his main body appeared in the New Ling Realm.
• Ling Yi named the New Ling Realm the Devouring Ling Realm and used it to devour the Marvel Universe, converting its karmic luck into origin.
• Ling Yi concluded that karmic luck both empowered the Ling Realm and made breaking the boundary harder, so he planned to stockpile origin secretly.
• Ling Yi decided to change his transmigration approach by becoming nonhuman, abnormal, or a supporting character instead of repeatedly replacing protagonists.
• Ling Yi transmigrated into a rabbitman on Subosita, where the Popular Science Makes You Stronger System activated and displayed his initial abilities and stats.

After transmigrating into a rabbit-man student with poor cultivation talent, Ling Yi discovered that his system rewarded popular science and began explaining new ideas about Genki affinity and energy. Teacher Luo Hong invited him to continue at the podium, where he wrote the three states of matter on the blackboard and saw her start taking notes.

• Teacher Luo Hong called on Ling Yi to explain the Genki Cultivation Method, and he instead argued that different people had different levels of Genki affinity.
• Ling Yi proposed that Genki affinity could be improved and explained how finer control over Genki might speed cultivation and strengthen techniques, earning Energy Points from the class.
• Ling Yi suggested that pharmaceutics could improve affinity internally and technology could help analyze Genki externally, then introduced the idea that substances had solid, liquid, and gas states.
• When Song Zhi objected that iron could not become a gas, Luo Hong demonstrated a flame and agreed that iron could be vaporized at high temperatures.
• Luo Hong ordered Ling Yi to explain at the podium, and he wrote “solid, liquid, gas” on the blackboard as she began taking notes.

Ling Yi explained his theory that Genki consisted of particles whose spacing and state could be changed by temperature, impressing his teachers and classmates. Luo Hong took him to discuss verification and suggested the Fite Burial Zone as a source of laboratory equipment, while Ling Yi returned home and spent his science-lesson rewards improving his constitution.

• Ling Yi described Genki's gaseous, liquid, and solid states and proposed that controlling the distance between Genki particles could make cultivation and advancement easier.
• Teacher Zhou Mosong confirmed that ice-attribute herbs in advancement potions lowered Genki's temperature, supporting Ling Yi's theory.
• Luo Hong invited Ling Yi to her office, praised his ideas, and offered to help him verify them; Ling Yi asked for a laboratory and high-tech equipment.
• Luo Hong suggested Ling Yi visit the Fite Burial Zone, where wreckage from Feite People's warships had been stored.
• Ling Yi returned home, collected 671 energy points from the lesson, and used them to increase his constitution.

Ling Yi’s enhanced memory and scientific knowledge impressed his classmates and teacher, Luo Hong, as he demonstrated how water expanded into ice and used static electricity to attract paper scraps. Luo Hong took him by flying boat toward the Feit spaceship wreckage, giving him Feit language records and a borrowed ring so he could help study it.

• Ling Yi discovered that his Constitution had increased and that he could replay his memories in vivid third-person detail, including knowledge from his previous life.
• Lin Ruoran challenged Ling Yi’s explanation of thermal expansion, and he explained why water expanded when it froze by describing the arrangement of its particles.
• Ling Yi rubbed a plastic ruler against his hair and attracted paper scraps, leading his classmates to mistake the electrostatic effect for universal gravitation.
• Luo Hong arrived, asked Ling Yi to explain his demonstrations, then took him aboard a flying boat and gave him a Spiritual Sense Jade containing the Feit language and a ring borrowed from the principal.
• Ling Yi learned that earlier researchers had failed to study the Feit spaceship wreckage because they lacked the knowledge to understand it, and he looked forward to investigating it himself.

Ling Yi explored the Feite flagship wreck after Luo Hong brought him to the burial zone, and he used his knowledge of electronics to open a sealed cabin and access a terminal. The next morning, he reported that he had gained something, though little, and fell asleep as Luo Hong took him back.

• Luo Hong told Ling Yi that the mountain ahead was the front half of the Feite flagship and warned him that he could take only ten items from the wreck.
• After Luo Hong left him on the flagship, Ling Yi searched its passages and cabins, finding most of them already ransacked.
• Ling Yi used his past electronic engineering knowledge to short a damaged circuit board and open a sealed noncommissioned officer’s cabin.
• Ling Yi found a helmet labeled “terminal” and put it on, spending the night inside the wreck.
• Luo Hong returned with a middle-aged man, who inspected Ling Yi’s storage ring and said it was within regulations.
• Ling Yi told Luo Hong he had gained something but not much, then fell asleep aboard her flying boat.

Ling Yi returned to school with valuable gains and began refining his Genki theories by building equipment from Feite technology. After months in the laboratory, he completed two mysterious devices, advanced to Mortal Tier Ninth Grade, and collapsed from exhaustion, leaving Luo Hong to wonder whether his creations could transform Subositan's cultivation world.

• Luo Hong explained that lingering hatred between humans and the myriad races came from their history of war, and advised Ling Yi to avoid extremists.
• Ling Yi planned to refine and test his Genki theories, while Luo Hong secured him a dedicated laboratory, formation knowledge, and Feite spaceship wreckage.
• Ling Yi spent a month assembling a supercomputer and an ultramicroscopic matter detector from Feite technology.
• After another month of work, Ling Yi brought Luo Hong a black longsword and a black disc, then fainted from overexertion.
• Luo Hong noticed Ling Yi had reached Mortal Tier Ninth Grade and suspected his two devices could change Subositan's cultivation world.

Ling Yi explained his theory of energy particles and demonstrated that his Genki Regulator could increase Genki affinity and cultivation speed. He showed the first two settings to the school’s teachers, but the device could currently reach only the purple third setting.

• Ling Yi woke among the principal and teachers, then said he had verified his theory of Genki affinity.
• Ling Yi explained that matter was formed from energy particles and used Genki to change flames from hot orange-red to cold deep blue.
• Ling Yi introduced his Genki Regulator, explaining that its resonance could gradually and permanently increase Genki affinity after about a week of use.
• The teachers experienced the regulator’s first setting, which the principal said increased his cultivation speed at least tenfold.
• Ling Yi demonstrated the second setting and explained its time limits, then said the regulator could currently reach only the purple third setting.

Ling Yi demonstrated that his Genki Eliminator could strip Bai Shou of his Genki perception for three seconds, then warned the principal and teachers that the Feite People might return within five years with their civilization’s full force. He left them confronting the danger of technological advancement and the possibility that he could create weapons capable of neutralizing cultivators across Planet Subostan.

• Ling Yi explained that his Genki Adjustment Instrument should remain at its third setting, then used the Genki Eliminator on Bai Shou and temporarily cut him off from Genki.
• Bai Shou warned everyone to keep the sword’s power secret, and the principal and teachers agreed to conceal Ling Yi’s inventions and discoveries.
• At Ling Yi’s laboratory, the principal questioned whether he had deciphered Feite technology, and Ling Yi revealed that the Feite People could arrive within five years to claim Planet Subostan.
• Ling Yi showed the group recorded communications indicating that the Feite People planned a migration, then warned that their technological civilization could advance far beyond Subostan’s current strength.
• When the teachers argued that Subostan had defeated the Feite People before, Ling Yi said he had already devised ways to counter their weaknesses and could build armor or a device to seal off the planet’s Genki.

Ling Yi began teaching the experimental class, introducing students and Alliance Council observers to the microscopic structure of matter and demonstrating electron microscopes. Afterward, he improved his physique, unlocked Danger Perception, and increased his passive cultivation speed as he prepared to advance technological cultivation.

• The principal told Ling Yi that the experimental class had one year of support, and Ling Yi confidently resolved to become invincible within that time.
• Ling Yi introduced himself to the experimental class, revealed that he had reached Venerable Rank, Second Grade, and promised the students they would reach at least the Venerable Tier.
• Ling Yi taught the class about matter, elementary particles, and energy particles, earning 892 Energy Points from the lesson.
• Ling Yi gave the students electron microscopes, and they and the Alliance Council observers stayed after class to explore the microscopic world.
• Ling Yi reviewed his system gains and cultivation devices, then raised his Physique to 100, unlocked Danger Perception, and gained the ability to cultivate passively at twenty times speed.
