Chapter Summaries

Cang Yue chose the [Dream World] as a refuge from [Scholar], while [Scholar]'s spatial teleportation technology enriched him and transformed the world's economy. [Mephisto · Dark Star] learned the technology and began investigating how a [Demon God] could use it to return from the [Demon Realm] to the mortal world.

• Cang Yue rejected the [Demon Realm] as a refuge and proposed the [Dream World] instead.
• Powerful beings entered the [Demon Realm] to test [Scholar]'s spatial teleportation technology, despite its cost to their lifespans.
• The major powers funded successive versions of [Scholar]'s technology, giving him nearly 250 billion Radiant Crystals and draining most of the world's cash flow.
• [Mephisto · Dark Star] studied the sixth version of the technology and concluded that its method for returning to the mortal world was especially important to [Demon Gods].
• [Mephisto · Dark Star] used an eleventh-ring God Corpse as he considered how [Demon Gods] could overcome their confinement to the [Demon Realm].

[Mephisto · Dark Star] encountered [Jianfeng], whose killing power and ability to retain slain Demon Gods’ authorities shocked him. After [Jianfeng] destroyed two decoys, [Mephisto · Dark Star] appeared to die, but another decoy revealed that he had survived and positioned himself behind [Jianfeng].

• [Mephisto · Dark Star] tested his ability to turn living creatures into God Corpses on a Soft-Bone Rabbit and lamented that he lacked intact high-grade vessels.
• [Mephisto · Dark Star] spotted [Jianfeng], a thirteenth-ring human who had entered the [Demon Realm] with his body and soul, and retreated while leaving a decoy behind.
• [Mephisto · Dark Star] learned that [Jianfeng] had killed three Demon Gods of the [Myriad Transformations] faction and retained their innate authorities instead of returning them to the [Demon Realm].
• [Jianfeng] destroyed [Mephisto · Dark Star]'s decoy with a saber strike, then used [Lock-On] to find and attack the concealed Demon God.
• [Mephisto · Dark Star] appeared to be killed by [Jianfeng]'s second strike, but the body was another decoy, and enormous scarlet eyes lit up behind [Jianfeng].

Jianfeng survived Mephisto · Dark Star’s devastating attack and killed the Demon God, but discovered that Mephisto had escaped by shedding his tail. As Jianfeng re-formed, Scholar · Heartfire Clone appeared and began probing his mind and saber skills.

• Mephisto · Dark Star crushed Jianfeng between his half-light-speed palms, but Jianfeng re-formed and struck him down with a final slash.
• Jianfeng collected Mephisto’s drops and refined the spell items into Grandmaster Saber Art Essence, but found that Mephisto had not dropped his Myriad Transformations Authority.
• Jianfeng realized Mephisto had likely escaped to the present world, leaving behind his Supreme Dark-Gold Lion Whip.
• A hidden presence questioned Jianfeng about the limits of his Saber Art Grandmaster skill and the Extreme Realm.
• Jianfeng’s Battle System revealed the intruder as Scholar · Heartfire Clone, whose panel listed hundreds of skills.

Su Luo confronted Jianfeng and recognized that Jianfeng’s pursuit of the Apex Realm lay in mastering the pure blade, not collecting Demon God Authorities. Jianfeng asked how Su Luo could help him improve, and the chapter ended with Jianfeng still unable to find a path beyond Lv.EX.

• Su Luo used the Heartfire Clone to examine Jianfeng and concluded that Wu Guang wanted him to collect Demon God Authorities and seize control of the Demon Realm.
• Su Luo asked why Jianfeng had not appeared in the previous era, but Jianfeng remained silent.
• Su Luo warned that taking the Myriad Transformations Authority would undermine Jianfeng’s pursuit of the Apex Realm and the blade that defined him.
• Su Luo offered to help Jianfeng improve, prompting Jianfeng to ask how.
• Jianfeng reflected that his blade skill had reached Lv.EX, but his efforts and the Battle System had not revealed how to reach the Apex Realm.

Su Luo advised [Jianfeng] to rebuild his Sword Dao without confusing his own path with the tools that strengthened him, then gave him a card guiding him to nine Demon Gods. Later, Su Luo considered the significance of reaching 30 Constitution and, after contemplating how he dynamically allocated his resources, froze before the [Demon Network Core].

• Su Luo urged [Jianfeng] to cultivate the Sword Dao anew while keeping useful tools, and [Jianfeng] admitted he feared becoming an Evil God's dependent without the [Battle System].
• Su Luo asked to see [Myriad Transformations] authority but declined to take it, then left [Jianfeng] a card marking nine Demon Gods for him to hunt.
• Su Luo reflected on the [Demon Realm]'s eighty-one Thirteenth Ring [Demon Gods] and his own attributes, especially the possible life transformation at 30 Constitution.
• Su Luo found Qiao Wenxi immersed in the Dreamscape and considered keeping her Epic-quality item for immediate combat power rather than feeding it to the [Genli Zhi Mo] or [Spacetime Hourglass].
• Su Luo thought through the need to dynamically adjust resources and power, then froze before the [Demon Network Core] as his thoughts churned.

Su Luo reflected on the future of Heartfire while the Particle Collider neared completion, then sent Yun Xiaoxiao to investigate the fallen divine kingdom on Harmonia. He arranged to meet the Contemplative Pivot Scholar with a Xiao Xiao Luo and prepared to travel to the Blank World.

• Su Luo explained that Heartfire negated narrow cultivation paths while preserving their accumulated power and experience, and he continued pondering its future.
• Yun Xiaoxiao warned that the Particle Collider still lacked the immense energy needed to start, but Su Luo said he had a solution.
• Su Luo ordered Yun Xiaoxiao to take the Xiao Xiao Luo to Harmonia and investigate the fallen divine kingdom and its missing God, partly because Mu Hongyuan might be inside.
• Su Luo agreed to meet the Contemplative Pivot Scholar, who had come to share knowledge about Enchantment, and said his true body would travel to the Blank World.
• A Xiao Xiao Luo, relieved to be assigned to receive the scholar instead of returning to construction work, welcomed him at Soren Xingjia.

Su Luo and the Contemplative Pivot Scholar exchanged research on the Particle Collider, Constant Enchantment, and the microscopic structure of Silk Mana. After sharing theories and data, Su Luo explained that his strength did not hinder his research because he was a stat monster at it.

• Xiao Xiao Luo invited the Contemplative Pivot Scholar into the island and explained that the megastructure beneath Soren Xingjia was a collider for studying Silk Mana.
• The Contemplative Pivot Scholar described how Red Dragon Dieyi had destroyed his laboratory while it was nearing completion.
• Xiao Xiao Luo detailed the Particle Collider's design, and the Contemplative Pivot Scholar and Su Luo discussed Enchantment and Silk Mana research for hours.
• The Contemplative Pivot Scholar shared centuries of Enchantment research, while Su Luo supplied ideas about Constant Spell and data on Chaos Mana.
• The Nameless Blade Lord asked how Su Luo pursued scientific research despite his strength, and Su Luo answered that he was a stat monster at it.

Su Luo’s discussion with Contemplative Pivot Scholar and Nameless Blade Lord was interrupted when a Mao Stone released a soul-devouring presence and activated an Exploration Quest. After the visitors toured the newly built Particle Collider, Nameless Blade Lord offered Contemplative Pivot Scholar vast funding to rebuild his abandoned laboratory, and the scholar answered with an insult.

• Su Luo considered whether Learning Gains could make him a true powerhouse, while Contemplative Pivot Scholar asked why he did not use Primordial Mana.
• A Mao Stone began to crumble, releasing a dark force that prompted Su Luo’s Exploration Quest to investigate a possibly surviving ancient structure.
• Su Luo ended the discussion and expelled Contemplative Pivot Scholar and Nameless Blade Lord from Soren Xingjia; Nameless Blade Lord stayed to pursue his other business.
• A Xiao Xiao Luo invited the two visitors to tour the nearly completed Particle Collider, astonishing them with its scale and rapid construction.
• Nameless Blade Lord offered Contemplative Pivot Scholar eighty billion Radiant Crystals and Federation support to rebuild his laboratory within ten years.
• Contemplative Pivot Scholar replied to Nameless Blade Lord’s proposal with a crude insult.

Su Luo reconsidered his missing Purple Trait Skill slot and suspected that Notherland had influenced his memory. After examining the Mao Stone’s transformation into an indestructible black staff, he met [Blank World] principal [Pivot of Non-Action · White Shadow] and asked about the organization’s ideals.

• Su Luo reasoned that he should have one more Purple Trait Skill available and that he ought to accept another Exploration Quest.
• He suspected the filthy thing called Notherland had influenced him to forget about the missing skill slot.
• Su Luo examined the indestructible black staff that had grown from the Mao Stone, but put it away because he did not know how to complete the Exploration Quest.
• [Pivot of Non-Action · White Shadow] arrived to represent [Blank World], and Su Luo pointed out that the principal had failed to welcome him.
• Su Luo asked [Pivot of Non-Action · White Shadow] what [Blank World]'s ideals were.

Su Luo explained the [Blank World]’s strategy for stopping the [Demon Realm] and revealed that he had captured the Demon God [Mephisto · Dark Star]. The chapter then shifted to the [Dream World], where Xiao Luo approached through a hidden node.

• [Pivot of Non-Action · White Shadow] told Su Luo that [blanking] aimed to suppress living beings’ emotions or attack the [Demon Realm] and its creatures directly.
• Su Luo asked what would happen if the [Demon Realm] disappeared, and [Pivot of Non-Action · White Shadow] said he would welcome the end of his lifelong ideal.
• Su Luo showed [Pivot of Non-Action · White Shadow] the sleeping soul of [Mephisto · Dark Star], a Demon God who had escaped by sacrificing his tail before falling into Su Luo’s trap.
• The chapter described the [Dream World] as a time-accelerated cultivation realm funded by the mortal world’s major powers and accessible by invitation to qualified practitioners.
• Xiao Luo approached the [Dream World] from the void through a hidden node.

Xiao Luo infiltrated the [Dream World] by copying Reginald Winter’s access and assessed its vast but inefficient dream-farming system. Searching its hundreds of nested worlds, Xiao Luo sought traces of Two Principles Daojun and other Survivors while studying the [Dream Princess]’s dream technology.

• Xiao Luo recognized that the [Dream World] relied on a small number of Eleventh Ring residents and produced Dreamscape Fragments inefficiently.
• Xiao Luo entered Reginald Winter’s dream, copied his identity and privileges, and gained access to the main [Dream World].
• Xiao Luo examined the [Dream World]’s immense depth and hundreds of isolated small dream worlds, noting the [Dream Princess]’s advanced Dream Partitioning.
• Xiao Luo entered the [City of Music], erased the programs of the stage performers, and overwrote Reginald Winter’s saved plans.
• Xiao Luo began searching the constructed worlds for Two Principles Daojun and other Survivors while exploring the modification privileges available through the [Dream World Panel].

Xiao Luo took control of the Dream World’s permissions while Cang Yue and the Young Lord tried to use it to gain World Influence, only to be discovered by Dream Princess and confronted by her. The chapter ended with the ancient God dying and rising again.

• Xiao Luo raised her Dream World permissions to the Thirteenth Ring and gave herself billions of Dream Princess Coins.
• Cang Yue and the Young Lord decided to seek World Influence by influencing powerful old monsters in the Dream World.
• Dream Princess found Cang Yue and the Young Lord, seized control of the Dream World, and confronted Xiao Luo for carrying the scent of Calamity.
• Xiao Luo refused Dream Princess’s order to leave, and Dream Princess’s authority froze every being in the Dream World.
• The chapter recounted God’s ancient power and role in driving back the Demon Gods, then declared that he died and rose again.

The Grand Prophet was overwhelmed by a vision of a holy figure who died and rose again, then declared, “He is not Him...” Yun Xiaoxiao entered the Fallen Divine Kingdom and awoke as a powerless consciousness tied to a stake before a vast crowd demanding judgment and a new world.

• The Grand Prophet fell into eternal Ethereal while prophesying that a holy one would rise from the tomb and live forever.
• The Grand Prophet’s companions wondered whether [God] had died and returned to life, and she uttered, “He is not Him...” before her life slipped away.
• Yun Xiaoxiao entered the Fallen Divine Kingdom with the Xiao Xiao Luo Legion, fearing the place would claim them as it had the earlier explorers.
• Yun Xiaoxiao lost consciousness on entering the kingdom and awoke alone among a huge crowd as a bodiless, powerless consciousness.
• Yun Xiaoxiao found herself bound to an execution platform as the crowd called for judgment and a new world, with countless other stakes stretching into the distance.

Yun Xiaoxiao witnessed the Great Judgment begin beneath [God]’s throne, as saints exposed prisoners’ sins and burned them with Holy Fire. Xiao Xiao Luo turned the judgment against a saint, but Yun Xiaoxiao was set ablaze without being allowed to answer, and the fire began rewriting her consciousness.

• [God] appeared above the darkened world as three golden scriptures opened to record everyone’s deeds, their names, and the proceedings of the Great Judgment.
• Saints judged [Morgan Sheffield], listing his sins before setting his platform on fire and engulfing him in Holy Fire.
• Xiao Xiao Luo number 139746098 accused its judge of arbitrary judgment and brought the saint’s own alleged sin to the attention of nearby saints, who placed him on a platform for judgment.
• Yun Xiaoxiao expected the saints to read her charges, but they tossed their torches beneath her platform without questioning her.
• Holy Fire burned Yun Xiaoxiao and began cleansing and rewriting her sinful thoughts as she cried out in pain.

Yun Xiaoxiao escaped the Judgment Holy Fire when Su Luo’s Heartfire transported her away, then met Ansen and a white-haired companion while fleeing the Divine Kingdom’s judgment plaza. The group left the plaza disguised as saints, and Yun Xiaoxiao began exploiting the saints’ gullibility.

• The Heartfire bound to Yun Xiaoxiao’s consciousness activated a spatial teleport and pulled her off the judgment platform before the Judgment Holy Fire could finish transforming her.
• Yun Xiaoxiao realized the Divine Kingdom forced everyone to submit, then ran from the approaching consciousness patrol.
• Ansen caught up with Yun Xiaoxiao, and she learned he had infiltrated the saints while Su Luo stayed behind for other tasks.
• Ansen and a white-haired man led Yun Xiaoxiao away from the judgment plaza, where the white-haired man convinced a saint to give her robes and a torch.
• Ansen explained that the holy fire had stripped the saints of suspicion and scheming, so Yun Xiaoxiao claimed a cat had stolen her newly bought floating city.

Yun Xiaoxiao learned that the God on the throne had died and that a Survivor might be involved in the Divine Kingdom’s attempt to resurrect Him. Ansen recruited her to help rescue Han Fairy, and the group prepared to use a new, multiple-ending Fairy Tale to reach her.

• Ansen and Ye Guanlan told Yun Xiaoxiao that the God had died when the Divine Kingdom fell and that the resurrected God was tied to a new world and the Great Judgment.
• Ansen explained that the Divine Kingdom might be reshaping people’s consciousness to complete the resurrection, and said Han Fairy’s judgment had been delayed while she remained chained to a rack.
• Yun Xiaoxiao realized that the Survivors from Hemonia’s floating continent were all likely in the Divine Kingdom, and Ye Guanlan learned that Han Fairy was Ansen’s master.
• Ansen asked Yun Xiaoxiao to use her spatial teleportation to help rescue Han Fairy and named Ye Guanlan the White Prince in his Fairy Tale.
• Ansen described his new multiple-ending Fairy Tale, which let him reduce its cost by steering the story toward its better ending.

Ansen and his companions reached Mu Hongyuan’s judgment, where the saints had split into factions arguing over whether she was their “mom” or a sinner. Ansen declared her not guilty and claimed he could prove she was God herself, despite the grave accusations against her.

• Ansen and Yun Xiaoxiao found hundreds of thousands of saints gathered around Mu Hongyuan’s judgment platform, where she had been bound for almost three days.
• The saints divided into a faction worshipping Mu Hongyuan as their “mom” and another demanding her judgment, and their argument turned violent.
• Ye Guanlan urged Ansen to make an entrance, and Ansen carried Yun Xiaoxiao through the crowd to the platform while Ye Guanlan drew everyone’s attention with fireworks.
• Ansen ordered the saints to wait and declared Mu Hongyuan not guilty, but neither faction was convinced because of her immense beauty and the millions of deaths linked to her.
• As Fairy Tale’s backlash made Ansen pale, he said he could prove Mu Hongyuan’s innocence and divinity, declaring that she was [God] herself.

Ansen invoked the ultimate [Beauty] in his defense of Mu Hongyuan, freeing her from the trial as the gathered saints worshiped her like a newborn God. Mu Hongyuan confirmed Ansen’s theory that a Survivor had possessed [God], then began explaining what the Scholar knew about the Survivor who had replaced Two Principles Daojun.

• Ansen declared Mu Hongyuan’s beauty proof of her purity, and the concept of [Beauty] overwhelmed the witnesses.
• Yun Xiaoxiao shut down her senses, while Ye Guanlan locked down most of her own to avoid the effect.
• A wisp of Origin Heartfire freed Mu Hongyuan from the trial platform, then dissipated to prevent it returning to Su Luo carrying worship for her.
• The saints bowed to Mu Hongyuan, and Ansen deduced that a Survivor had possessed [God] after replacing Two Principles Daojun in the previous era; Mu Hongyuan confirmed his guess.
• Mu Hongyuan said the only known record of the Survivor corresponding to Two Principles Daojun was his fight with the Scholar, then asked why the Scholar had carried his severed head instead of killing him.

Mu Hongyuan, Ye Guanlan, Ansen, and Yun Xiaoxiao considered how to exploit the Divine Kingdom’s dawn cycle against the Survivor, while Ye Guanlan discovered he had been influenced. Elsewhere, Su Luo and Kundina investigated why floating cities relied on energy from [Extreme Heaven] and what calamity threatened the third era.

• Mu Hongyuan explained that the saints were fragments of the Supreme God and proposed using her control over some of them to exploit the symbiotic system.
• Yun Xiaoxiao said the Xiao Xiao Luos might offer a way out, but they had likely been assimilated into the saints.
• Ye Guanlan explained that the Supreme God would be strongest at daybreak but most vulnerable to influence, and Mu Hongyuan decided to act then on the fifth day.
• Ye Guanlan realized he could not direct killing intent at Mu Hongyuan and confronted Ansen by asking which “horse” he meant in “Prince Charming on a white horse.”
• Su Luo asked Kundina what calamity threatened the third era, and she identified [Tide] as the biggest issue in her research.
• Kundina explained that floating cities were built in the Starry Sky because most of their energy came from [Extreme Heaven].

Su Luo and Kundina discussed the mysteries of [Extreme Heaven] and concluded that the three eras had been deliberately cultivated as successive farms. After Ye Zizhen described the [God] as “a greater Ye Fan,” Su Luo and Kundina considered whether both were aggregation beings such as a [World Will] or [Star Spirit].

• Kundina told Su Luo that exploring [Extreme Heaven] revealed only an unreachable void, and Su Luo compared the three eras to increasingly refined experimental farms.
• Su Luo said he could not investigate [Extreme Heaven] because his true body was in the [Demon Realm] and urgent matters involved the [Divine Kingdom] and the completed [Particle Collider].
• Su Luo asked Ye Zizhen for information about the [God], and Ye Zizhen called the [God] “a greater Ye Fan.”
• Su Luo and Kundina reasoned that Ye Zizhen meant Ye Fan from the original world rather than the current Heavenly Emperor Ye Fan.
• Su Luo proposed that Ye Fan and the [God] might be aggregation beings such as a [World Will] or [Star Spirit], which could arise even in worlds without supernatural powers.
