Su Luo reached the newly descended civilization and found a colossal, living world while Ming Yuanwu struggled through the darkness and chaos of Eldran. The chapter left Su Luo hiding nearby as Jingjing entered the civilization, while Ming Yuanwu continued seeking a way to save his family and lover.

• Su Luo discussed the Abyss and the newly descended interstellar civilization on the World Channel, then traveled for more than four days to reach it.
• Su Luo, Observer, and Machine Fortress examined the civilization’s enormous structure, and Machine Fortress said the previous civilization may have appeared similarly before hiding in dreams and decaying.

Ming Yuanwu sought help and information from the Church of the God of Ten Thousand Crafts after discovering that darkness and a coup had plunged the Mortal Realm into crisis. The Church promised to support him as a Hero, and its bishop explained that Eldran was one of many isolated Mortal Realms watched by indifferent Gods.

• Ming Yuanwu entered the royal palace and found that a coup had killed the king and purged his guards.
• Ming Yuanwu visited a Church and learned it worshipped the God of Ten Thousand Crafts, then showed the nun his Hero career to gain the Church's respect.
• The bishop promised the Church would provide Ming Yuanwu with resources until he could defeat the Demon King, hoping he might speak for their God in the Divine Court.
• Ming Yuanwu asked the bishop about the Mortal Realm, the Divine Court, and the Gods, and learned that many Mortal Realms existed without communication between them.
• Ming Yuanwu concluded that Eldran's Gods rarely intervened and that their followers mostly endured silence.

Ming Yuanwu questioned whether power gained through the Gods’ way truly belonged to him as he set out to hunt a monster. Su Luo reached a faith-based world inside the giant structure and discovered a system that collected and sorted Power of Faith, then entered its dark mortal world.

• Ming Yuanwu chose a wilderness monster-hunting mission and traveled with Church of Myriad Machines escorts, questioning whether the power he gained would truly be his own.
• Su Luo learned that Song Shige would arrive in about seven days and described the new civilization as a vast mixture of faith, Mana, and technology.
• Su Luo found that the giant structure’s central sphere held powerful beings, so he directed the laboratory toward an outer sphere and ordered preparations for a prolonged infiltration.
• The laboratory’s shield weakened in the hazardous waste between the spheres, and Su Luo collected and purified a small amount of low-quality Power of Faith.
• Su Luo discovered that each small sphere’s World Membrane gathered and filtered Power of Faith, sending the highest-quality portion to the central sphere.
• Su Luo took the laboratory through the World Membrane and looked out over the sphere’s dark mortal world.

Su Luo brought Ming Yuanwu, a weak transmigrated hero with a powerful God's aura, into his laboratory and studied the Career Panel embedded in his soul. After two days of investigation, he found that the faith-based panel was crude, but the wider system it connected to was tightly secured and self-circulating.

• Jingjing killed the Church members who accompanied Ming Yuanwu, while Ming Yuanwu knelt and begged her to spare him.
• Jingjing restrained Ming Yuanwu, and Su Luo brought him into his laboratory after receiving her message.
• Su Luo examined Ming Yuanwu's Career Panel and identified it as a product of faith, elements, and materials apparently tied to the Divine Court.
• Su Luo spent two days dismantling the panel and probing its connection to the Celestial Rail with purified Power of Faith.
• Su Luo found that the broader system used strict encryption and multiple layers of verification, and complained about the contrast with the crude management of the pig farm.

Song Shige prepared to reach the Divine Court World, where he planned to fight its corrupt Gods, while Su Luo returned to the Eternal Night Court to harvest its Dreamscape Fragments. Su Luo began expanding his Dreamscape Depth by actively cultivating the dream, but he found the process slow and accidentally wasted some fragments.

• Song Shige sensed a faint call in the Land of Darkness, then drew Han Song’s soul into the Blood City to train his will.
• Song Shige noted that six days remained before he reached the Divine Court World and planned to devour its Gods.

• Su Luo assessed his Dreamscape Depth as scale zero point two and continued exploring how to cultivate it beyond its naturally slow growth.

Su Luo developed the [Ruin Dream Technique] to steal and fuse Dreamscape fragments, then recruited Machine Fortress to learn how to help. Meanwhile, Ming Yuanwu avoided acting as a Hero and considered causing disasters to reduce the mortal world's population, hoping to escape the fate planned for him.

• Su Luo explained that stolen Dreamscape fragments could greatly speed up his Dreamscape's growth and described the process he had developed as the [Ruin Dream Technique].
• Su Luo asked Machine Fortress to help collect Dreamscape fragments, and Machine Fortress requested a month and a half to study the technique in the Library.
• Machine Fortress explained that he had never mined Dreamscapes because he and the others had been born inside them and regarded Eternal Night Court as their world.
• On the third day after receiving his cheat, Ming Yuanwu stayed hidden at level 50 and avoided both leveling up and rescuing people, fearing that either would draw the Gods' attention.
• After estimating how many people might have survived the darkness, Ming Yuanwu considered creating disasters to kill more of the population and defy the Hero's fate.

Ming Yuanwu considered how to oppose his predetermined fate before a mysterious voice claiming to be his mother offered guidance and comfort. Meanwhile, Gao Fu struggled to advance through Trait Dungeons until a strange employment contract reached him in his Dreamscape.

• Ming Yuanwu killed the thieves at his door with a skill and considered cooperating with the magic beasts instead of unleashing the Magic Beast Tide.

• The flames faded after the paper reached Gao Fu, revealing an employment contract with an aura like Contracts and Curses.

Gao Fu accepted Su Luo’s offer to mine dream fragments in [Eternal Night Court], choosing mining rights over an attribute reward and receiving the Purple Skill [Ruin Dream Technique]. As Gao Fu began mining and earning a 20 percent share, Su Luo studied dream depth and considered whether the Dream Plane might be a vast resource farm.

• Gao Fu chose option one on the mining contract, signed it, and learned that [Eternal Night Court] was a ruined dream designated for mining dream fragments.
• A Skill Book gave Gao Fu [Ruin Dream Technique], and his dream-control Talent let him begin taking control of the dreams at the edge of [Eternal Night Court].
• Gao Fu mined dream fragments at a rate of about one every twenty minutes and agreed to Su Luo’s offer of 20 percent of the yield.
• Su Luo observed that Gao Fu gathered fragments more efficiently than he could, and sent his secondary subconscious to absorb the fragments into his dream.
• After studying in the Library for about a day, Su Luo reached scale fourteen in dream depth and estimated the long timescale required to cultivate it naturally.
• Su Luo wondered whether the Dream Plane connected countless dreams as a farm that harvested resources from the smaller dreams attached to it.

• Hecate decided to hide the Demon Network in the mortal world before the ancient Chief Gods could claim it, while the Goddess of Light begged her not to leave.

• Ming Yuanwu recoiled from the Crimson Demon King's banquet and saw a gigantic bug rise behind the main seat.
