Academy Summoning Order

The stars shifted unnaturally above countless worlds.

From the lower planes to ancient immortal realms, cultivators everywhere paused as a golden decree spread through the skies like thunder across dimensions.

"By the command of the Dao Ancestor, let the worthy rise. Heaven Defying Academy reopens its doors across realms."

This was not a mere message.This was a summoning.

In the Mortal World: Rising Chaos

In the Southern Flame Empire, where sects had grown arrogant and kings bowed to no higher realm, a golden scroll tore through the sky.

Every cultivator saw it.Every formation shattered.Every nascent pride bent.

"Heaven Defying Academy? That's… just a legend."

"No," an old beggar whispered, his blind eyes glowing faintly. "It's the truth. He's calling us again."

All over the empire, strange events began:

Spirit rivers flowed in reverse.

Hidden tombs opened on their own.

Children were born with star-shaped pupils.

The world was changing—and He was the cause.

In the Divine Beast Continent

Deep inside the Forbidden Glacial Wastes, a phoenix egg older than time cracked for the first time in 9,000 years.

From within emerged a small girl with flame-like hair, giggling softly.

"Papa Dev said I could come out when the call came. Wheee~!"

She flapped her wings, igniting the sky itself, and soared toward the nearest portal.

Back in the Heaven Defying Academy

Dean Xuan gathered the senior elders.

Before them hovered a map of the Myriad Realm Cosmos. Blinking lights now appeared at key locations—each marking a potential candidate or hidden genius.

"The selection begins now," he said. "Every elder must lead a team. Bring back those who are chosen by the Academy Core."

Yue Wushen raised a brow.

"We're recruiting… from every plane?"

"Yes," Xuan said, smiling. "Dev Yadav wants monsters."

Just then, the sky cracked open within the Academy grounds.

A young man in tattered robes fell from the rift, unconscious—but his body leaked celestial intent far beyond what any Nascent Soul cultivator could produce.

"Another one?" Elder Mo muttered. "This makes the fifth today."

Dean Xuan narrowed his eyes.

"No. This one… was sent directly by Dev himself."

Dev Yadav's Plan Unfolds

In a vast realm beyond reality, Dev sat cross-legged on a bridge of starlight.

Floating before him were twelve golden tokens—each representing a newly awakened Heaven Defying Academy in a different world.

"Hahaha… the stage is set."

He waved his hand, and the tokens flew into the void.

"Now, let the world send their best."

"And let my Academy turn them into legends… or corpses."
