Chapter Summaries

Clone No. 1 told Xing Yao that comprehending the Law of Space had freed him from ability and level limits tied to resentment points. Xing Yao realized that every clone could develop a powerful law regardless of talent and eagerly imagined the futures of Clones No. 5 and No. 6.

• Clone No. 1 explained that his spatial abilities and strength now grew with his comprehension of the Law of Space, not resentment points.
• Clone No. 1 said Clones No. 2, No. 3, and No. 4 would follow the same path after breaking through to the second tier and comprehending their laws.
• Xing Yao realized even clones with weak talents could develop formidable powers through laws.
• Xing Yao imagined Clone No. 5 attaining physical sainthood through the Law of the Physical Body and Clone No. 6 gaining world-splitting strength through the Law of Strength.
• Clone No. 1 agreed that the two clones could reach extraordinary levels if they merged with their corresponding laws.

Xing Yao copied Clone No. 1’s complete Law of Space ability, spending all his Resentment Points and regretting the cost. As he argued with Clone No. 1 over making computers in the mental world, Clone No. 3 broke through to the Second Tier.

• Xing Yao copied Clone No. 1’s Law of Space ability and gained skills including Teleportation, Spatial Blade, and Spatial Wormhole.

• Xing Yao and Clone No. 1 began arguing when the mental world shook with powerful breakthrough fluctuations.
• Clone No. 3 successfully broke through to the Second Tier.

Clone No. 3 broke through to the second tier by fusing with the earth element origin law, then asked Xing Yao to buy him computers to play with. After the clones called out Xing Yao for not cultivating, he tried to recover his dignity by scolding Clone No. 1 and Clone No. 3 and praising the quiet Clone No. 2 and No. 4.

• Clone No. 3 broke through to the second tier and completely fused with the earth element origin law.

• Clone No. 1 explained that he had fused with the law of space while Clone No. 3 had fused with the earth element law.
• Clone No. 3 asked Xing Yao to buy him computers, and both clones asked whether Xing Yao had ever cultivated.
• Xing Yao realized that both clones had advanced while he had been slacking, then pointed to Clone No. 2 and No. 4 and scolded the others for not being like them.

Xing Yao berated Clone No. 1 and Clone No. 3 for caring more about games and entertainment than cultivation, but Clone No. 2 and Clone No. 4 immediately broke through to the second tier. After forcing himself to keep lecturing the first two clones, Xing Yao watched Clone No. 2 and Clone No. 4 calmly approach him.

• Xing Yao scolded Clone No. 1 and Clone No. 3 for asking him for computers and neglecting cultivation.
• Clone No. 2 broke through to the second tier while Xing Yao was praising him as a model of diligence.
• Clone No. 4 also broke through to the second tier, leaving all four clones ahead of Xing Yao.
• Xing Yao tried to preserve his authority by continuing to criticize Clone No. 1 and Clone No. 3.
• Clone No. 2 and Clone No. 4 stepped forward and calmly walked toward Xing Yao.

Xing Yao expected praise-worthy progress from his clones, but all four demanded computers because cultivation was too boring. He resisted their pleas, though Clone No. 1 and Clone No. 3 argued that games and learning about the outside world would help them relax and cultivate more effectively.

• Clone No. 2 and Clone No. 4 knelt before Xing Yao and asked him to buy them a computer.
• Xing Yao realized that all four clones wanted computers and protested that they should focus on cultivating after reaching the Second Tier.
• Clone No. 1 defended the request, saying the mental world was dull and games would help balance work and rest.
• Clone No. 3 supported Clone No. 1, arguing that a computer could ease the strain of cultivating and help them maintain a stable mindset.

Xing Yao agreed to buy his four clones computers, then revealed he had no money after buying a villa. He proposed remaking his stored cards into earth-skill cards for the city’s reconstruction, hoping the sales would fund the computers.

• Clone No. 1 persuaded the other clones to demand computers from Xing Yao so they could take a break from cultivation.
• The four clones pressured Xing Yao until he agreed to buy them computers, but he immediately admitted they had no money left after purchasing a villa.
• Xing Yao said he could remelt hundreds of unsold cards into resentment points and create earth-skill cards for rebuilding the destroyed city.
• Xing Yao proposed revising the cards’ punishment to leave buyers some clothing and cause itching, aiming to make the cards less humiliating and encourage repeat purchases.

Xing Yao assigned Clone No. 3 to make earth-element punishment cards, and the other clones praised him until he reluctantly agreed. When Clone No. 3 questioned why the cards could not be duplicated with resentment points, Xing Yao explained that duplication was profitable for expensive combat cards but would cause losses on the low-cost earth-element cards.

• Xing Yao told Clone No. 3 to use his earth-element power to mass-produce cards, infuse them with Laws, and stabilize their structures.
• Clone No. 1, Clone No. 2, and Clone No. 4 praised Clone No. 3 until he reluctantly accepted the work.
• Xing Yao told everyone to prepare for production and said he would melt old cards into resentment points.
• Clone No. 3 asked why the earth-element cards could not be duplicated with resentment points like Clone No. 1's Teleportation cards.
• Xing Yao explained that duplicating high-value combat cards earned a profit, while duplicating low-margin earth-element cards would cost more than making them by hand.

Xing Yao organized the clones to produce cards for profit, assigning Clone No. 3 the exhausting work of making them one by one while the others laughed at his plight. As work began, Xing Yao suddenly remembered that Clone No. 5 had gone to buy breakfast and might already have arrived.

• Xing Yao explained to Clone No. 3 that their lack of money meant he had to make cards one by one to avoid wasting Resentment Points.
• Clone No. 1, Clone No. 2, and Clone No. 4 secretly laughed as Clone No. 3 grew increasingly dejected.
• Clone No. 6 woke from secluded meditation, understood what was happening, and cheerfully encouraged Clone No. 3, making the others burst into laughter.
• Xing Yao announced that he would melt the old cards into Resentment Points and ordered the clones to begin working toward buying computers.
• Xing Yao remembered that Clone No. 5 had gone to buy breakfast and realized he might have arrived already.

Xing Yao and the clones gathered to eat the cold breakfast Clone No. 5 had brought, then discussed earning Resentment Points and buying computers. Clone No. 3 was left discouraged after Xing Yao urged him to make more cards, while Clone No. 5 was relieved that the extra work would fall on someone else.

• Xing Yao rushed to the door and found Clone No. 5 standing in the wind with a bag of cold breakfast.
• Clones No. 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6 returned to reality and crowded around the food, ignoring Clone No. 5.
• Clone No. 3 comforted Clone No. 5, and the two recognized each other as fellow mistreated clones.
• Xing Yao invited Clone No. 3 and Clone No. 5 to eat, then told Clone No. 3 to make more cards so they could buy everyone computers.
• Clone No. 5 sympathized with Clone No. 3, who became despondent as Xing Yao and the others happily ate and discussed their plans.
