Arcs¶
A. The Myriad Realms Alliance War (Ch601-610)¶
- Walder, a parallel-world eighth-level who wants his counterpart dead, sells the wizards' position to the Myriad Realms Alliance, a plane-devouring "liberation" alliance led by a ninth-level Leader.1
- The Alliance invades with hundreds of millions of creatures and tens of millions of eighth-levels, and the four powers' roughly 100,000 eighth-levels soundly beat them.2
- A soul-discipline wizard has infiltrated the Alliance command and cut off its retreat.2
- Jie Ming stays a bystander and loots corpses into his inner world to feed the Black Giants.3
- The Leader appears in person, and the Crimson Court's eighth-levels fight over who gets to beat it.4
- The Leader blood-sacrifices every plane it holds to summon a God of Chaos, which the wizards were waiting for all along.4
- Both ninth-levels are captured alive, and the parallel world is fully absorbed.5
- At the rewards ceremony Jie Ming receives 15 billion high-level military merit, ownership of ten planes and open access to the parallel world's Core Database, while David receives 12 billion and ten planes.5
B. Infernal Sulfur Plane Build-Up and the Void Refinement Breakthrough (Ch611-623)¶
- Ten years later, the plane's integration is complete, and all ten-billion-plus Black Giants evolve at once through a genetic overhaul that uses the parallel world's biological-modification techniques.6
- The first Essence Gold Dao Soldier appears, undying through the Incense Fire Divine Dao and able to cultivate on its own.7
- Only ten Dao Soldiers exist after a century, because Imperial Flow Paste is a bottleneck.8
- Jie Ming realizes his comprehension is not enough to grasp the Dao the normal way at Spirit Transformation and that he is no peerless genius.9
- His prepared workaround is the Void Refinement route through the Five Aggregates Rainbow Mirror, which is reforged to its Third Turn.10
- He chooses the Self-Sovereign True Body Sutra and advances to Void Refinement.11
- His Senior Sister Viola visits, savages his Nest modification plan and shows him what real genius looks like.12
- At Void Refinement perfection, his thousand-meter dark-gold two-faced dharma body becomes his true body, and his inner world expands tenfold to plane scale.13
- The next step is to advance toward the Dao Integration Realm.14
C. Austin's Miniature Glass Garden (Ch624-635)¶
- Jie Ming studies Dao Integration, whose danger is Dao Transformation, being assimilated by the laws and vanishing into a natural phenomenon.15
- He needs reference beings deeply fused with the world's rules, so he takes one of 1,000 slots in eighth-level Great Wizard Austin's mission.15
- Austin caps all output at third-level inside his garden plane.16
- Jie Ming joins eight sixth-level wizards in a town where a finger in a salt jar turns families' kidneys into salted meat at a conceptual level.17
- A second Strange, children's graffiti that rewrites reality, twists the Curse Witch's arm.18
- The wizards drop the output cap and flip the table, and the Graffiti Strange targets Jie Ming, the only one without a Law Solidification Domain.19
- Jie Ming takes the hit, learns the Graffiti Strange's nature and crushes it into a ball with his true body's power.20
- Jie Ming takes the whole Salty Finger and the eight others split the graffiti, and Austin opens a rift to the real Strange plane as the reward.21
- Austin sees through Jie Ming's disguise, widens the rift for his thousand-meter form and says he has high hopes for him.21
D. The Strange Plane (Mist Capital) (Ch636-676)¶
- Jie Ming soul-searches bandits for the language and currency of a night-swallowed wilderness.22
- Eric, a poor young man in Mist Capital's old district, becomes a new viewpoint character.23
- Jie Ming sets up as the owner of a used bookstore with a basement black clinic and sells optimized gene drugs at exactly plus 5 percent success rate as bait for the Official Spirit Medium Association.24
- Association agents Harding and Dirk begin watching him and quietly protect him from muggers.25
- He places Micro-Light Eyes, a new detection tool, on everyone.26
- The Association's capture of the Shadow Thief is wrecked by black-robed cultists and a shark monster, and a mole is inside the Association.27
- Jie Ming tracks and captures the Shadow Thief himself.28
- The cult releases the Rift Dweller to find the Thief; it attacks Jie Ming in bed, and he seals it in a nanometer spatial rift.29
- He fuses the Thief and the Dweller on a stone platform at sea into a Catastrophe Grade Shadow Strange.30
- Harding recruits him as a cooperating researcher, which solves his materials problem.31
- The cult leader is revealed to be Professor Victor Raine, a gentle Association lecturer.32
- After the Ghost Ship attacks the docks, the Association assaults the psychiatric hospital sub-space, and Jie Ming tags along to loot low-grade Stranges.33
- Victor, fused with the Blood Net, teleports the Association's three strongest away, gives Jie Ming his black notebook and asks that the perfected fusion technology go to this world's people.34
- Jie Ming kills Victor with one punch that blasts a blue hole in Mist Capital's eternal fog.35
- A hidden rival wizard, a short round-faced old man, concedes the city and leaves.36
- Jie Ming asks Eric whether he would like to become a Spirit Medium.37
- Ten years later, Eric is Dr. Eric of the Noren Clinic with four Stranges sealed in him, and Jie Ming seals a fifth.38
- The sky turns dark purple with writhing black veins.39
- Austin announces that he is fusing most of the plane's Stranges into his own life form, that Destruction Grade Stranges will spawn, and that all wizards are drafted as stabilizers.40
- Jie Ming leaves Eric a hidden box, reveals his true form and departs via Great Void Step, and Eric tells Harding "Gone."40
- A half-month's flight brings him to Hollow City, a Destruction Grade city-type Strange where seventh-level Great Wizards and many sixth-levels gather.41
- A mirror maze produces a Replica of Jie Ming with all his knowledge, and he holds a discourse on the Dao with it instead of destroying it.42
- The Replica voluntarily merges into him, and his brow mark becomes a real third eye, which is the last piece of the puzzle before Dao Integration.43
- He trades an Anti-Magic Disk solution for a share of the sealed city core, and he gets a third.44
- At the fissure he burns Victor's notebook, saying he has left the seeds and has done the favor the Professor asked.45
- In an epilogue, Eric retrieves Jie Ming's black box and leaves the bookstore with a Spirit Medium healer on a life-or-death commission.45
E. Dao Integration and the 300-Year Skip (Ch677-681)¶
- Jie Ming returns to the Infernal Sulfur Plane and attempts Dao Integration on the altar, where he dissolves into nothingness and forgets himself.46
- Tens of billions of praying Black Giants catch him at the last moment.46
- He wakes as a Dao Integration cultivator and discovers that three hundred years have passed.47
- The plane is now a medium-sized plane with 35 billion Black Giants.47
- His terminal shows 23 missed calls from Viola and 3 from Clark, who is about to advance to the seventh level.48
- Jie Ming re-modifies the Nest for mobility and the Prowlers for Strange-grade concealment.49
- He uses the Temporary Enlightenment Technique, and a long-ordered world fragment arrives.50
F. The Tentacle Tree Civilization Invades the Infernal Sulfur Plane (Ch682-690)¶
- A plane-wide red alert sounds as a fleet of 983 warships of a sixth-level technological civilization of sapient tentacle trees drives at the plane.51
- Jie Ming lures them in by having the Black Giants fight just hard enough, resurrecting through the Dao Soldier System.52
- When the fleet breaches the barrier, he stops time over all of it.53
- The fleet is dismantled, its officers are interrogated and its database is read.54
- Commander Varak realizes he has handed over his homeworld's coordinates.55
- Jie Ming commands a ten-billion-strong elite legion under the seventh-level Black Giant king Molten Mountain, but as a fifth-level wizard he needs a sixth-level navigator fused with the plane origin to open the gate.56
- He hires Viola for a full copy of the civilization's knowledge, and they depart.56
G. Counter-Invasion of the Tentacle Tree Homeworld (Ch691-700)¶
- Jie Ming strips the plane origin's authority locks, and a border monitoring station sees the barrier breached.57
- He tears a rift several hundred kilometers wide with his Second Layer Dharma Form, 500 km tall, and ten billion Black Giants charge through.58
- The border fleet is crushed, and the main fleet, two orders of magnitude larger, jumps in and is annihilated.59
- The civilization has no Plane Lord, so it cannot self-destruct its world.60
- Jie Ming disperses the legion in groups of five to take every non-core planet at once.61
- Darryl, a sixth-level Black Giant, breaks a star system alone.62
- A Divine Armament, an ancient war armor sunk in a gas giant, turns up that the Tentacle Trees merely copied without understanding, guarded by a deliberately regressed jellyfish caretaker race.63
- The Divine Armaments suggest a vaster and more ancient civilization hidden behind them.64
- Jie Ming switches to seizing information and strikes the four core planets personally.65
- He fights a planetary behemoth, 0-001, that knocks his Dharma Form back for the first time since Dao Integration.65
