Su Luo finished examining the knowledge and tools gained from the world will, then noticed that Adrian Academy’s students were changing in unsettling ways. Yun Xiaoxiao suspected that the students’ [Adjudications] were Alchemical Puppets, leaving Su Luo and her wondering whether they had been caught from the beginning.

• Su Luo reviewed the world will’s knowledge, kept its [Computational Core] for his laboratory, and discovered that his [Ten Thousand Worlds] panel had gained 246791 [Source] and now charged extra energy for Talents.

• Yun Xiaoxiao reported that Alchemical Puppets had appeared again and suspected that the students’ [Adjudications] were Alchemical Puppets, then feared that she herself was an incarnation of one.

Su Luo investigated how the concept of [Wizard] was rewriting Joyce’s identity and the academy’s history, and considered how his earlier actions had shifted that process forward. He realized [Adrian]’s rule of [Cognitive Manifestation] might have kept him from noticing the academy’s transformation at all.

• Su Luo reviewed how the academy’s graduation requirements were growing stricter and how Joyce’s role had shifted toward [Alchemy].
• Yun Xiaoxiao recognized that the information about Joyce was changing toward the concept of [Wizard], and Su Luo explained that both present reality and past history were being overwritten.

As the Wizard Path rewrote history and transformed Adrian Academy, Su Luo escaped with Yun Xiaoxiao, Xiao Xiao Luo, and an Epic item. Outside the world, Audrey and the academy’s vice presidents watched the academy awaken as an Alchemical Puppet and claim the Truth Ring, changing the Demigods across the World Cluster.

• A voice mocked the idea of getting stronger the honest way as the Demigods across the World Cluster began to change.

Mu Hongyuan learned that three Rainbow Badges had unlocked a buff squaring the daily number of Trait Dungeons, then discarded another mysterious letter before the lights began to flicker. Elsewhere, after a containment disaster wiped out a base’s leadership, a Field Agent agreed to escort TEA-007-A for an experiment.

• Mu Hongyuan saw that the Rainbow Badge buff would square the number of daily Trait Dungeons, potentially creating millions of slots.

• The Field Agent confirmed that contact with the higher-ups was lost, accepted the Researcher’s plan, and began reviewing files on TEA-007-A.

A [Field Agent] carrying a trash can full of dangerous contained items went to deliver it to [TEA-045], whose effect made direct visual contact hazardous to male personnel. He assigned a female [First Contacts] member to handle the delivery and retrieve the letters, warning her not to open the can or touch [TEA-045] inappropriately.

• After one member raised her hand, the [Field Agent] told her to deliver the trash can intact, retrieve the letters, replace the lid, and avoid touching [TEA-045].

Mu Hongyuan’s encounter with a letter from Crawling Chaos destroyed the Small World, but a figure covered in garbled text stopped the god’s descent and helped her escape. After reflecting on the Career Advancement Dungeon’s danger and her path of Beauty, Mu Hongyuan chose to continue rather than seek a Rainbow Badge.

• A [First Contact] delivered a trash can to [TEA-045], who first needed rice porridge before she could open it.
• [TEA-045] read Crawling Chaos’s letter inviting Mu Hongyuan to become a mask, and the [First Contact] dissolved into pus.

• Mu Hongyuan decided to keep advancing along her path of [Beauty] instead of leaving the Career Advancement Dungeon or seeking a Rainbow Badge.

After returning safely to the Land of Darkness, Su Luo considered how to use his free attribute points and prepared his dependents for the coming District War. He sent Yun Xiaoxiao to the Butterfly Civilization to strengthen ties with the String Civilization.

• Su Luo measured the more than fifteenfold increase in his soul’s quality after reaching 33.3 attribute points and noted that Demigod growth now concerned quality rather than quantity.
• Su Luo returned to the Land of Darkness with 11 free attribute points and chose not to allocate them yet, despite considering raising his Spirit to 38.3 or reaching 40.

• Kin Number One, Xiao Xiao Luo, and Yun Xiaoxiao were thrust into five-dimensional space, where Yun Xiaoxiao became violently ill and Kin Number One stabilized its body.
• [Glass Origin String] explained that the Black Hole Jump Gate had raised them through dimensions and led them to a five-dimensional Wormhole bound for the [Butterfly Civilization].

• Hecate recalled how the Chief Gods had drained their world, created the False Divine Court, and used it to trap Crossers and invading worlds.

• The Command Chief God looked toward the Three Fates' empty thrones, recognizing that the three fate-wielding Chief Gods had died.

After the Chief Gods discovered that three of their number had died, they worked to stabilize their world and investigated the Survivors’ traces and strange treasure chests in the Land of Darkness. Hecate introduced them to the powerful Void Zerg, but before the Chief Gods could pursue cooperation, the Void Zerg declared war on the Divine Court.

• The Chief Gods awoke to find three of their number dead, and the Command Chief God used their Authority to slow the world’s devouring.

Yun Xiaoxiao and Kin Number One, Xiao Xiao Luo, entered [Galaxy] and found themselves as pure information in a vast world where information and physical matter coexisted. A representative of the [McGill] civilization explained that the world was an advanced Virtual World whose mainframe was [Galaxy]’s body and whose computing array was spacetime itself.

• Yun Xiaoxiao and Kin Number One, Xiao Xiao Luo, marveled at the divine beasts and immense worlds inside [Galaxy].

• A man in a white suit introduced himself as a representative of the [McGill] civilization and said their civilization’s status had been changed to [free civilization].
• The man explained that the [Butterfly Civilization] governed subsidiary civilizations across the [Local Supercluster], then offered them a free display pet based on their culture.

Kin Number One Xiao Xiao Luo and Yun Xiaoxiao learned how the [Butterfly Civilization] converts visitors into information and prepared to meet the [Galaxy]. Qin Lang explained the rival civilizations and war-torn dimensions, leaving Xiao Xiao Luo eager to discover the greater powers behind them.

• The man in the suit explained that the [Galaxy] converted visitors into information through Black Holes, and Kin Number One Xiao Xiao Luo realized the process resembled a [Black Hole Computer].
• Kin Number One Xiao Xiao Luo learned that the [Butterfly Civilization] was an [Ascension Body] and asked to speak with the [Galaxy], whose representative would be available in about a day.
• Yun Xiaoxiao met Qin Lang, who explained that the Mutual Aid Association was not moving many people to the [Galaxy] because the [Butterfly Civilization] could reproduce what it analyzed.
• Qin Lang said the [Butterfly Civilization] had mistaken the newcomers for a scheme by the [Dome Civilization] before studying Mana and meeting the [String Civilization].
• Qin Lang described Three, Five, and Six Dimensions as peaceful, while Four and Seven Dimensions had been devastated by war, and Kin Number One Xiao Xiao Luo welcomed the prospect of encountering stronger powers.

Qin Lang explained the Milky Way’s civilization rankings and his negotiations with its five star cluster civilizations to Yun Xiaoxiao and her companions. After they left to meet the [Butterfly Civilization]’s Heroic Consciousness, the [Divine Court World]’s forces waited in the Land of Darkness for the approaching [Void Zerg], but their vanguard’s warning never came true.

• Qin Lang told Yun Xiaoxiao how the [Galaxy Ranking] classified civilizations, from those barely recognized by the [Butterfly Civilization] to the five [star cluster] powers governing the Milky Way.
• Qin Lang said he was negotiating with the five star cluster civilizations and that the Scholar could reach their level by mastering spatial technology.
• After talking for more than half a day, the Kin Number One, Xiao Xiao Luo, and Yun Xiaoxiao left to meet the [Butterfly Civilization]’s Heroic Consciousness in the Higher Dimension.
• Yun Xiaoxiao ascended while vomiting, and Qin Lang suspected that the [Butterfly Civilization]’s greatest problem was a shortage of resources.
• On the third day of the [Void Zerg]’s war declaration, a subordinate God and a Superior God waited in the Land of Darkness, puzzled that the enemy army had not appeared despite its vanguard’s earlier report.

The [Void Zerg] emerged from the Dreamscape and devastated the [Divine Court]'s main army, killing millions before Aphrodite intervened. She destroyed most of the swarm, but an unknown attacker then struck at her Authority and divine throne.

• The God of Armies suspected the [Void Zerg] had bypassed the [Veil] and warned the rear legions.
• The [King] led the [Void Zerg] out of the Dreamscape, where three hundred thousand new-model Zerg appeared between the early-warning front and the main army.
• The [Void Zerg] concealed themselves and slaughtered millions of subordinate Gods, driving the main army's front line back.
• Aphrodite used her Authority to expose and subdue the swarm, and Eros's arrow destroyed most of the Void Zerg.
• Black Flame ignited on Aphrodite's Authority and divine throne as an unfamiliar voice told her she did not deserve to be called the [Goddess of Beauty].

Su Luo used Heartfire and his Ten Thousand Laws Domain to counter Aphrodite’s beauty-based Authority and force her to destroy her projection. He then pursued and slaughtered the fleeing subordinate god legions as Heartfire burned through the Void Zerg.

• Su Luo examined Aphrodite’s Boss-tier status and used Heartfire to obscure the Authority linking her projection to her true body.
• Aphrodite ordered Eros to shoot Su Luo with an arrow that imposed the Law of being in heat, but Heartfire burned away its effects.
• Su Luo spread his Ten Thousand Laws Domain over Aphrodite’s Sea of Foam and reasoned that Law—Evolution applied his own evolution rather than asserting a World Rule.
• Aphrodite transformed through Love Domain Weaving, but Heartfire evolved an opposing Ugliness Authority, so she destroyed her projection to protect her true body.
• Su Luo’s domain consumed the Sea of Foam and caught the retreating subordinate god legions, while Heartfire adapted to the Void Zerg and burned hundreds of thousands of them.

Su Luo fought off the Void Zerg and Aphrodite while the Divine Court’s forces retreated, then faced the Night Chief God and eight more Chief Gods who arrived in their true bodies. Surrounded by nine Chief Gods, Su Luo was in grave danger.

• The Void Zerg sent a mutated Demigod advanced unit after Su Luo, but he seized and refined it, analyzing the Aberrant Element within.
• Su Luo expanded his Ten Thousand Laws Domain, pursued the Void Zerg, and used their materials and energy as resources while holding off both sides of the battle.
• Aphrodite revived from the Sea of Foam and tried to make Su Luo fall in love with her, but he burned away her threads of desire and crushed her fading projection into the System Space.
• The Night Chief God descended in her true body and struck Su Luo with her jeweled dagger, causing his condition to plunge.
• Su Luo sensed eight more Chief Gods arriving in their true bodies and sealing off the world around him.

After the Chief Gods believed they had killed [Scholar], they debated the [Void Zerg] threat and chose to seek peace while studying the [Void]. Su Luo resurrected with six Authority curses attached and realized he would need to escape far from the [Divine Court] or kill the Chief Gods to remove them.

• The Wine God and [Wisdom Main God] questioned whether [Scholar] was truly dead and considered how the [Survivors] and [Void Zerg] might be connected.
• The [Death Chief God] argued that the [Void Zerg] could drain the [Divine Court]'s resources, while [Wisdom Main God] proposed studying their technology.
• The nine Chief Gods returned to the [Divine Court] and decided to pursue peace with the [Void Zerg], study the [Void], and seek a way to migrate.
• The [Hunting Chief God] sensed [Scholar]'s resurrection but could not catch him as he fled.
• Su Luo woke in the [Physical Configuration Backup Pod] with six Authority curses, which he calculated he could remove by traveling a third of a light-year away or killing the corresponding Chief Gods.

After escaping the Divine Court, Su Luo examined the authority curses the Chief Gods had branded on him and tried to suppress them with his own power. The curses remained active, leaving him to study how authority and the world’s rules worked.

• Su Luo tidied his base, hid his main body in the Dream World, and fled at full speed away from the Divine Court.
• Su Luo reviewed his attribute gains and used [Law—Extreme Speed Increase] to travel at roughly three times the local speed of light.
• After several hours of flight, Su Luo concluded the Chief Gods were unlikely to pursue him and began examining their authority curses.
• Su Luo brought out his true body and tried to suppress the curses with [Law—Suppression], but the [Oath Thunder Technique] struck him and immobilized him for one second.
• Su Luo considered the curses’ effects: [Orphan Curse] had no blood relatives to target, while [Vast Sea, Sinking Bones], [Knowledge Blindness], [Shadow-Hunting Pursuit], and [Fruit of Strife] posed other threats.
