Chapter Summaries

Starlight Figure fought the giant crimson eyeball and erased its monster horde, while the rules it imposed slowed his restoration and Thunder Figure’s mutation. He Ao awakened in a memory of his childhood home and confronted Purple-Eyed Youth, who tried to undermine his confidence before He Ao revealed he had completed the ritual.

• Starlight Figure plucked the world’s strings, dissolving the crimson beams and monsters as the cracked giant eyeball watched him gather strength.

• He Ao asked when Purple-Eyed Youth had decided he had not completed the ritual.

He Ao confronted 005 in a dream within his own subconscious as 005 tried to understand how He Ao had completed the Memory Weaver ritual. He Ao’s ritual in the Sot Copy World had finally taken effect, and as 005 grew angry and threatened him, He Ao remained calm and mocked his anxiety.

• He Ao pointed out that their conversation had lasted too long, exposing that the Purple-Eyed Youth was an intruder in He Ao’s subconscious dream.
• The Purple-Eyed Youth realized He Ao’s body was absorbing the Talent Sequence and inferred that He Ao had completed the Memory Weaver ritual to an extraordinary degree.

• He Ao’s consciousness began to dissolve as the power erased his memories and weakened the fates anchoring him.
• The Purple-Eyed Youth mocked He Ao and claimed he had controlled He Ao’s fate from the beginning.
• He Ao asked if that was so, seized the Purple-Eyed Youth’s shoulder, and whispered, “I found you.”

He Ao revealed that his memories and connections from the Copy Worlds had anchored his humanity against the deep sea’s madness, despite 005’s attempts to erase his ties. He left 005 trapped in his Consciousness Kingdom after using their exchange to recover himself.

• The purple figure questioned how He Ao had preserved his humanity, and He Ao explained that his memories and connections across the Main World and Copy Worlds anchored his self.
• He Ao recalled how 005 had manipulated his memories, weakened his relationships, and engineered his forced advancement to make him die or provide a body for escape.

• He Ao revealed that he had been buying time and welcomed the purple figure into his Consciousness Kingdom.

He Ao trapped the Purple-Eyed Youth with the Fate Entrapment Disk’s power, forcing them into a fight where only one could escape alive. After revealing their battlefield was Radiance City, He Ao passed along a mutual friend’s message by slamming the Purple-Eyed Youth headfirst into the ground.

• The Purple-Eyed Youth tried to escape He Ao’s consciousness space but found the cage’s rules solidifying his body and preventing him from leaving.
• The Purple-Eyed Youth deduced that He Ao had used the Fate Entrapment Disk’s power to imprison them both, leaving them to fight for control of the body and a way out.
• The Purple-Eyed Youth declared that He Ao could not defeat him and began forcing more power into the cage, but He Ao knocked him down with punches.
• He Ao identified the ruins as Radiance City and asked whether the Purple-Eyed Youth knew why he had chosen it as their battlefield.

He Ao fought the Purple-Eyed Youth in the Consciousness Kingdom as the Youth used his greater power to alter its rules and smuggle Angel-level Power into the world. The Youth struck with an Angel-level Jade Long Blade, but He Ao countered with a matching purple jade sword, leaving their clash unresolved.

• The Purple-Eyed Youth used his power to weaken the magic restrictions and create rules for healing and strengthening items, while He Ao continued to attack him with martial arts.

• The Purple-Eyed Youth tried to reclaim the Angel-level power in He Ao’s Purple Jade Sword, but He Ao explained that their fusion let him wield it.
• He Ao revealed that the Purple-Eyed Youth’s power had spread through Radiance City and that Radiance City had become mystically equivalent to K.
• He Ao used Radiance City’s connection to K, restored by the Fate Spinning Wheel, to draw a strand of the Purple-Eyed Youth’s power in K’s name.
• The Purple-Eyed Youth grew furious and spread his corruption throughout the Consciousness Space, dissolving Radiance City and preparing to crush He Ao with the world itself.
• The Purple-Eyed Youth’s boiling shadows engulfed He Ao, and a faint orange-gray radiance appeared within them.

• The Purple-Eyed Youth used Angel-level Power and the symbol to seize control of He Ao’s Consciousness Space, then swallowed He Ao in purple shadows.
• He Ao broke free with a sword strike, but the Purple-Eyed Youth blocked it and left him nearly consumed by shadows.
• He Ao revealed that he had guided the Purple-Eyed Youth into changing the rules, then used hidden Eye of Truth power to restrain the shadows and pierce him with invisible spears.
• The Purple-Eyed Youth tried to resist and pull out the spears, but more spears pinned him down until his body shattered into Purple Radiance.
• He Ao watched the Purple-Eyed Youth’s power disperse, and the uncontrolled shadows and imprisoned fate shattered as He Ao completed his advancement.

He Ao endured the Memory Weaver’s contamination, recovered his sense of self, and completed his angelic ascension while recognizing that 005’s power carried a dangerous force beyond the Talent Sequence. As he emerged from the depths of his consciousness, the Starlight Figure fought the gigantic eyeball until a sound from the world’s bottom layer made him turn toward the distant tower.

• He Ao’s memories and anchors helped him recover his emotions and gather the Self Fragments stripped away by the contamination.
• He Ao understood that angelic ascension meant enduring an uncontrolled mutation and sensed an additional, uncontrollable force fused with 005’s Memory Weaver power.
• He Ao recalled how he had used divine consciousness shaped into Azure Sky Light to pierce 005 and seal its connection to the outside.
• He Ao crossed a threshold and was carried upward through the radiance of his inner deep sea as his ascension progressed.
• The Starlight Figure struck the gigantic eyeball, which convulsed and tried to escape through twisted space.
• A sound rang from the bottom layer of the world, and the Starlight Figure turned toward the distant phantom of the tower.

A shadowy humanoid swallowed the purple machine, which vanished as the wasteland bloomed with new life and someone approached him. Elsewhere, the Starlight Figure tried to leave and reach the Fate Spinning Wheel, but Li Cheng and King Angel attacked him, and the chapter ended as he retaliated.

• The shadowy humanoid covered the purple machine with a net of stars and made it disappear, after which flowers and grass rapidly spread across the barren land.
• The Starlight Figure sensed a storm in the world's bottom layer and feared that Fate Spinning Wheel had successfully taken He Ao's body and gained control of his Transcendent Items.
• The Starlight Figure chose to abandon his fight with King Angel and Li Cheng temporarily so he could reach Fate Spinning Wheel.
• Li Cheng blocked the Starlight Figure with a lightning spear, while strings pierced and pinned him in place.
• King Angel appeared behind the Starlight Figure and pierced his chest with a crimson beam, prompting him to roar and reach into the void.

He Ao used the Fate Entrapment Disk to imprison the shadowy humanoid, but the being revealed its true Pseudo-God form among the stars and attacked him with colossal hands from above and below. As He Ao faced being crushed, he sent chains of light around the descending hand, and the chapter ended as radiance spread beneath it.

• He Ao used the Fate Entrapment Disk’s world-imprisoning power to bind the shadowy humanoid with chains of light.
• The shadowy humanoid’s starlight shattered into cutting fragments, and it sent shadows searching for He Ao before declaring that he must die.
• He Ao dispelled the shadows with Azure Sky Light, then recognized the being’s true Pseudo-God form reflected among the stars.
• The Pseudo-God pressed down with a vast hand as a matching shadow-hand rose beneath He Ao, while starlight fragments closed in around him.
• He Ao wrapped the descending hand in chains of light, and radiance began spreading beneath it as the Pseudo-God pressed down again.

He Ao used the Fate Entrapment Disk and a three-ring emblem to trap the starry-sky shadow and force it to flee by destroying its hand and part of its shoulder. After the battle, he discovered that the shadow’s influence was fading from his memory, while his own injuries threatened his newly stabilized human form.

• He Ao used towering pillars of light to distract the starry-sky shadow while secretly spreading a three-ring emblem across its descending hand.
• Radiant chains from the Fate Entrapment Disk restrained the shadow’s hand as He Ao’s transformed terrain expanded beneath it.

• The shadow tore through some chains, then detonated its trapped hand and part of its shoulder before fleeing.
• He Ao searched the world’s bottom layer and confirmed the shadow was gone, but its ability made its existence difficult to remember.
• He Ao’s wounds reopened, and he revealed that he had intended to make the shadow flee rather than complete the risky ritual.

He Ao inferred that the starry sky shadow had escaped the Lord of the Starry Sky’s influence with another Great Existence’s help, then used the Fate Entrapment Disk to eliminate him. As the Starlight Figure attacked the wounded eyeball and thunder humanoid, the starry sky vanished and a jade-like arm seized his strings.

• He Ao sensed the Lord of the Starry Sky’s contamination in the starry sky shadow and deduced that another Great Existence had temporarily concealed their connection.
• He Ao’s plan succeeded in neutralizing the starry sky shadow’s attack within the Fate Entrapment Disk, though He Ao suffered severe injuries.

He Ao confronted the Starlight Figure after defeating Fate Spinning Wheel, while the Starlight Figure revealed his interest in He Ao’s unusual Talent Sequences and attacked him with a cage of strings and arrows.

• The Starlight Figure formed a spherical cage of strings around them and drew gray arrows from every direction toward He Ao.
• Inside an ancient Old Train, the Youth opened his eyes and took a pure white fruit from his pocket.

He Ao fought the Tuner, who used gray arrows, contaminating strings, and control over the world’s laws to trap and crush him. As the Tuner tightened his grip, He Ao called on Truth, and radiant chains burst out to bind the Starlight Figure.

• The Tuner introduced himself and launched a storm of gray arrows and thin strings at He Ao.
• He Ao used the Eye of Truth to melt a narrow passage through the attack and forced his way through the strings piercing his body.

• The Tuner tightened his grip and broke He Ao’s ribs while He Ao taunted him about avoiding the being that had truly defeated him.
• He Ao asked the Tuner why he did not speak with Truth face-to-face, and brilliant chains burst out to wrap around the Starlight Figure.

The Tuner realized He Ao had secretly completed a Ritual Array and tried to escape before its power could trap him. He Ao summoned Truth and vanished, leaving the Tuner enclosed by a vast gray-white barrier beneath a colossal eye.

• The Tuner recognized that He Ao had replaced part of the battlefield and used an avatar to draw the Ritual Array, then tried to crush He Ao and withdraw into the void.

• He Ao called upon Truth, sent the message “Tuner,” and vanished with the flowers, grass, and Thunder Figure.
• The Tuner tried to escape through the void but was enclosed by gray-white walls, which a colossal eye watched over from the sky.

The Tuner’s attempt to resist Truth failed, and he summoned Mechanism to help him escape. As the two great powers clashed over the Ruins Planet, He Ao severed the last hidden ritual connection between the planets and vanished into Deep Space.

• The Tuner unleashed his authority to throw the world into chaos, but Truth’s gray-white anchors restored it and began stripping away his sense of self.
• The Tuner tore off his left arm, formed a gear-shaped symbol, and accepted Mechanism’s terms, summoning its giant mechanical hand to seize him.
• Truth’s power dismantled the mechanical hand, but Mechanism forced open a vast rift and confronted the enormous gray-white eye beyond the stars.
• The clash between Truth and Mechanism shook time and space, exposing the hidden lines at the world’s bottom layer.
• He Ao appeared in Deep Space, found and severed the Tuner’s final ritual connection between the planets, and vanished as the planetary phantom disappeared.

He Ao restored Dean’s memories and stabilized him after the ritual, while the Starlight Figure fled through Deep Space and was stripped of his power by Truth. The weakened Starlight Figure landed near He Ao and searched for a healing item, unaware that He Ao had appeared behind him.

• Dean briefly regained awareness, recognized He Ao, and warned him about something living beneath Headquarters before falling into a protective sleep.
• The Starlight Figure tried to escape through a spatial rift, but grayish-white eyes and an invisible mechanical hand trapped him as Truth extracted his tuner Talent Sequence.
• The powerless Starlight Figure crashed onto the ruined planet and vowed to recover his strength and kill He Ao and everyone he protected.
• The Starlight Figure searched for a healing item and wondered why Machinery had not opened a passage when He Ao asked, “What are you looking for?”

He Ao used the God of War’s power to trap and kill the Starlight Figure, then took the gray box and the sphere forming from the Figure’s remains. The Old Train carried He Ao and both objects away, leaving the devastated battlefield empty.

• He Ao stabbed the Starlight Figure with Blood Thorns imbued with the God of War’s power, which pinned him down and tore apart his body, soul, and status.
• The Starlight Figure realized He Ao had saved the God of War’s power for a finishing blow and tried repeatedly to break free, causing more thorns to grow and drain his life faster.
• He Ao uncovered the Starlight Figure’s healing box and provoked him into struggling, then inferred how to open it when the Figure refused to explain.
• The Starlight Figure collapsed into starlight and died completely as the God of War’s power destroyed him.
• A gray sphere formed among the starlight, and the Old Train took He Ao, the sphere, and the gray box away from the battlefield.

After killing the Tuner, He Ao opened the gray box and obtained the Undying Lotus, a powerful healing item whose thoughts could influence its bearer. He left it beside the unconscious Li Cheng to heal them both while watching over Li Cheng’s mind.

• An old robot gathered the scattered remains of the Old Train, traced tracks through spacetime, and stopped when it encountered a Sword Mark before vanishing with a Starlight Figure.
• He Ao told Ye Ying that Li Cheng’s consciousness had been injured during his advancement and that Li Cheng would have to recover on his own.
