Ye Chui woke up in a hospital bed. He stared blankly at the white ceiling. His mind felt like a tangled mess, chaotic thoughts tormenting him endlessly.
The Castro Continent, Stan Town, magician, the Casual Name Magic Guild, one companion after another, the iPad grimoire, all sorts of wondrous spells, and the Sin Continent, the divine race, void creatures…
“Ah, you’re awake.” A surprised exclamation suddenly rang in his ear.
Ye Chui’s expression froze slightly. He looked towards the speaker. A girl stood by the bed, her face full of tears, holding a bag of apples. Perhaps from shock, the bag slipped and the apples scattered across the floor. Then the girl joyfully rushed to the bedside and grasped Ye Chui’s hand. “That’s wonderful. I thought you would never wake up…”
The girl wiped her tears and cried happily.
Ye Chui was somewhat bewildered. “Young lady, who are you?”
“Sorry, I haven’t introduced myself.” The girl quickly explained. “The iPad that hit you was dropped by me accidentally. I was watching a film on the cable car and let it slip…” She paused before continuing. “My surname is Dai, and my name is Bijiang. You can call me Jiangjiang.”
Dai Bijiang…
A rather strange name, somewhat peculiar. In Ye Chui’s mind, it vaguely reminded him of a familiar name, but that thread of memory seemed sealed, impossible to grasp clearly.
In this process, he quietly forgot everything about the Castro Continent. It felt like a long dream that faded from the mind upon waking.
“My name is Ye Chui. Hello, Dai Bi… Jiang.” Ye Chui looked at the girl before him. For some reason, countless warm feelings surged in his heart.
The girl was about his age, fifteen or sixteen, with refreshing short hair and a petite build. Her chest was very flat, almost like a tomboy, yet Ye Chui felt an inexplicable fondness for her at first sight.
Doctors and nurses rushed in to examine him. They found his body perfectly healthy, with no issues at all, and called it a miracle.
That same afternoon, Ye Chui completed discharge procedures.
Ye Chui and Dai Bijiang went for a meal together and became friends.
Now both were in their second year of high school, though not at the same school. Because of the iPad incident, they began contacting each other often, going out together. In their third year, they encouraged each other to study, then skipped classes to pull all-nighters at internet cafes playing games. Finally, through persistent effort, they both got into the same third-rate university…
In the second semester of their first year, Ye Chui confessed to Dai Bijiang. They officially became a couple, spending every day together: attending classes, dating, gaming…
During this time, Ye Chui suddenly developed a strong interest in computer programming. He began self-studying coding and hacking. By graduation, he had become a somewhat famous hacker. In the hacking world, he earned a strange nickname: “Magician.”
After graduation, Ye Chui and Dai Bijiang joined a small company together, starting a modest but sufficiently happy life.
Just as their relationship was deepening and Ye Chui had prepared to propose, Dai Bijiang suddenly vanished one morning.
She disappeared without a trace.
Leaving no mark in the world.
Her family and friends had no idea where she had gone.
From then on, their happy life was completely overshadowed by gloom. Ye Chui seemed to become a different person. He quit his job and began searching the world for his lover. The man who once held strict moral boundaries started using his hacking skills for things he had sworn never to do. The name “Magician” gradually became infamous, striking fear into others.
Yet all Ye Chui truly wanted was to find any trace of Dai Bijiang.
To locate her, Ye Chui poured immense effort into developing a network virus called Sky Hammer. This virus would spread to every corner of the world, infiltrating every camera to search for Dai Bijiang.
However, someone discovered what he was doing…
A girl named Lin Xue suddenly entered Ye Chui’s life. She bore a striking resemblance to Dai Bijiang in appearance and personality. After several deliberate coincidences, Lin Xue successfully broke into Ye Chui’s guarded heart, becoming in some ways a substitute for Dai Bijiang.
For a time, Ye Chui felt long-lost warmth again.
However…
Just as he finally completed Sky Hammer, Lin Xue left, secretly taking the virus with her.
Ye Chui finally learned Lin Xue’s purpose. Sky Hammer possessed terrifyingly powerful capabilities. Lin Xue belonged to a global thief syndicate. They coveted Sky Hammer and had gone to great lengths to obtain it for enormous profit.
Sky Hammer rampaged, paralysing the online world.
Learning the truth filled Ye Chui with extreme anger and sorrow. He began using every ounce of his strength to seek a counter-program for Sky Hammer.
Sky Hammer was his creation. He understood it best, and only he could crack it.
After countless days and nights of effort, he finally completed the counter-program. Yet the moment he uploaded it to the network, exhaustion overwhelmed him, and he fainted…
Then his soul traversed to a brand-new world of sword and magic.
This world was called the Aigen-Dazs Continent.
This world possessed magic, and Ye Chui transmigrated into a boy named Hammerhead, an apprentice at a shop called Anthony’s Magic Store in Stan City.
The shop owner had passed away, leaving a daughter named Debbie. When Ye Chui transmigrated, bullies were harassing the small shop, and the boy had died from it, allowing Ye Chui to take his body.
Facing the bullies, Ye Chui was originally powerless to resist, but he suddenly discovered something wondrous: magic on the Aigen-Dazs Continent was composed of thirty-two magic symbols arranged into spells. In a way, it was exactly like programming code.
Magic in this world could be used like programs.
As the top programmer from another world, Ye Chui almost instantly grasped the true essence of magic and drove away the bullies.
From that day, Ye Chui began a legendary adventure in this new world.
The legend started from Anthony’s small magic hut in Stan City.
He began meeting companions one by one: the city lord’s daughter Aphia, the intelligent life Jarvis born from an ancient tomb magic array, the lightning-fire dual magician Dakins, the ditzy little nun Vivian, the paladin Grayton, the reincarnated elven empress’s companion Lille, the half-elf girl Freya…
Gradually, he became the omnipotent magician of this world, mastering all seven elements and every spell. Legend said only one person had ever achieved this: the Magic Emperor who created magic.
In the trial world left by the Magic Emperor, Ye Chui finally met this emperor who ushered in the age of magic.
He uncovered the Magic Emperor’s world-destroying conspiracy plotted over ten thousand years, and Ye Chui’s summoning to this world seemed precisely to stop it.
In the Magic Emperor’s trial secret realm, Ye Chui also encountered the headless knight Celty, the Magic Emperor’s sister. Ye Chui freed her from the trial cycle.
Next, more and more people gathered around Ye Chui. He met one person after another, experienced all sorts of adventures, thwarted the Matan Empire’s conspiracy, supported Princess Shian to become empress, and established the most powerful Blood Hammer Empire.
His power grew ever stronger.
Then came the Creation God Tree, the giant Gloria and Sauron, the Tower of Time, the fall of ancient giants and the birth of halflings… He unravelled one conspiracy after another left by the Magic Emperor.
When drawn into the Eternal Desert controlled by eternal rules, Debbie’s timeline became disordered, giving birth to two Debbies.
Later, Ye Chui faced the ultimate trial and returned briefly to the familiar Earth world, but his heart was already tied to the Aigen-Dazs Continent. He never forgot Dai Bijiang, yet vaguely understood she seemed to carry some mission that brought her into his life. After lying low on Earth for two years, he encountered the origin of all things: the Creator God.
The Creator God granted him sealing power and sent him back to the Aigen-Dazs Continent.
Next, the Magic Emperor revived. Ye Chui used sealing power to create the divine race, proclaiming himself God of All Gods, beginning an eternal war with the Magic Emperor.
An eternal battle with ten thousand years as the battlefield.
In this fight, Ye Chui and the Magic Emperor, these seemingly fated adversaries, simultaneously discovered watchers in the void: void creatures, demons. These demons would bring terrible threats. Ye Chui and the Magic Emperor’s realms had long transcended space-time, mastering destiny. Their battle was in fact a tangle of space-time and destiny, yet in that moment they both saw the darkness ahead in the River of Destiny.
They understood the demons would eventually bring catastrophe to the world.
Though the Magic Emperor sought to destroy the world, his belief was ultimately for the good of all races in this world. Thus they set aside mutual hostility and decided to launch a plan to eliminate the demons.
Demons were born in the void. To people in the real world, they were merely a subtle concept, existing between being and non-being. They had no consciousness or body. Had Ye Chui and the Magic Emperor not discovered them, they might never have entered human awareness.
Yet they harboured innate greed towards the real world.
But with figures like the Magic Emperor and Ye Chui in this world, they had bided their time, waiting for opportunity.
For Ye Chui and the Magic Emperor, the only way to completely eradicate them was to fully lure them from the void, creating bodies and infecting them with causality.
Thus the Magic Emperor feigned defeat. Ye Chui imprisoned him in a deep space-time cage within the divine domain and granted him part of the sealing power, while Ye Chui completely erased this portion of memory. Memory is a product of order, and any order could affect the plan’s execution.

The divine race was established. The Aigen-Dazs Continent welcomed a ten-thousand-year era of gods.
Then the demons could no longer restrain their desires. They grew restless, baring fangs towards the real world.
They had plotted for tens of thousands of years, creating hideous bodies at the boundary between void and reality. Starting with the Dragon’s Fall, they step by step shattered divine domains and gods, causing the gods’ fall. To prevent Ye Chui’s revival, they created the Supreme Temple to guard the River of Destiny. To eliminate any chance of the God of All Gods’ return, they also built the Church, proclaiming themselves gods and using faith power to seal human belief in the God of All Gods.
They further shattered divine domain fragments into the Sin Continent. Sin of the Gods, the crime of gods. They condemned the gods, ensuring they would never rise again.
The Aigen-Dazs Continent became the present Castro Continent.
In the final moment of fall, Ye Chui was with the two Debbies.
As God of All Gods, Ye Chui was immensely powerful, yet he had a fatal weakness: if the divine race began to perish, his divine position would collapse, threatening his life. The cunning demons had schemed for ten thousand years. They launched their assault on the divine race, damaging over half before the God of All Gods could react. Ye Chui’s fall was inevitable.
Unstoppable.
In the final moment, Ye Chui made a decision.
He sealed his own name.
A name is a person’s designation. For an existence as powerful as him, a name was a beacon, a beacon for return.
Bathed in the radiance of collapsing divine position, Ye Chui faced imminent death.
The two Debbies accompanied him.
One Debbie blocked the demons’ final attack and was split into three, scattered across the Castro Continent, awaiting the moment of revival.
The other Debbie turned to ash with Ye Chui in the glow of god extinction.
Of course, they did not die.
The second Debbie exhausted all her eternal power and came with Ye Chui to the other world, Earth.
Then…
Ye Chui grew from infancy to boyhood, gradually maturing. He forgot everything. At sixteen, while playing in the mountains, an iPad fell from the sky and struck his head, causing him to transmigrate to the Castro Continent.
The girl who dropped the iPad was called Dai Bijiang. Dai Bijiang was Debbie, the Debbie who traversed with Ye Chui. She too had forgotten herself, yet held the power of the God of All Gods. When the iPad struck Ye Chui, she returned that power to him in the form of the iPad.
On the Castro Continent, five thousand years after the gods’ fall.
The once-mightiest Blood Hammer Empire had long perished. The Goddess of All Peoples, Empress Shian, had died long ago. The former site of the Blood Hammer Empire became the present Star Empire.
The original Stan City, enduring five thousand years, stubbornly remained beside the Dark Forest, becoming the present Stan Town.
After Debbie became Goddess of Wealth and Eternity, her Anthony’s Magic Store site became the Temple of the Wealth Goddess. Over five thousand years, as the origin site of the Wealth Goddess, this temple was the last Wealth Goddess temple not fully collapsed.
Anthony’s Magic Store, through Ye Chui’s efforts, had once become a worldwide chain. A few inherited the Anthony name.
After the gods’ fall, Anthony’s descendants faced persecution. Only a very few survived.
These people changed their surname to Anduin.
Then, one day five thousand years later, a girl was born in the Anduin family. Named after the Wealth Goddess, she was called Debbie.
The summoner-talented girl Debbie accidentally entered the Wealth Goddess’s ruins and met the boy struck by the iPad in the last Wealth Goddess temple on the continent.
A new adventure began.
Until now.
Ye Chui was that Ye Chui.
Between the two Ye Chuis was the girl called Dai Bijiang.
The second Debbie exhausted all eternal power to bring the fallen God of All Gods to the Earth world, becoming Dai Bijiang. Then one day she returned Ye Chui’s power to him. After he woke in the hospital, she accompanied him for some years. In the timeline, she herself did not exist, so one morning she silently vanished.
Time thus formed a loop.
The God of All Gods had died. His future was completely sealed, but with the Wealth Goddess Debbie Dai Bijiang’s help, he altered causality, sending his past to the future of the Castro Continent.
This was the plan transcending causality that had yet to be formulated.
When Ye Chui learned the full truth, it was the moment of his return.
He regained his power and, with Freya’s help, restored all sealed memories.
The demons guarded the River of Destiny, ensuring not the slightest chance of the God of All Gods’ revival.
Yet now the Magic Emperor battled the demons, creating that sliver of possibility for the God of All Gods’ return.
The Goddess of Destiny, Eva, paved the way for Ye Chui’s return.
The Magic Emperor forged the door of return.
Freya held the key to return.
And now, he needed a beacon.
His name was the beacon of his return.
…
“Ye Chui, Ye Chui, what’s wrong? Wake up quickly…” A urgent call faintly reached his ear. It was Debbie’s voice.
So he woke.
He was the omnipotent magician of the Aigen-Dazs Continent, and also of the Castro Continent.
His name was Ye Chui.
He was the God of All Gods.
…
Within the Supreme Temple.
The Magic Emperor engaged in brutal slaughter with the seven supreme demons.
Their fight transcended all describable senses. Time, destiny, space, everything in the world served as their weapons, yet their battle was utterly silent.
Then a certain moment arrived.
In the dark, empty Supreme Temple that seemed almost non-existent, only a few heavy breaths remained.
“You are defeated.”
“We told you, Magic Emperor. You could never be our match. Our enemy is only the God of All Gods.”
Five of the seven supreme demons remained. Two had perished. They mocked coldly.
The Magic Emperor’s body was shattered, turning to dust finer than light. A smile suddenly appeared on his broken face.
“It seems I still fall short of him… Fortunately, he has returned.”
After saying this, his gaze pierced the River of Destiny, falling one last time on the Castro Continent.
This land once called Aigen-Dazs, the world he loved most deeply…
Then he vanished eternally.
