The True Venerables watched a Middle Thousand World collapse as Qiye emerged as a Great Monarch, only to reveal that he had been ambushed during his breakthrough. After Qiye departed, the survivors discussed his misfortune and wondered who could protect them during their own breakthroughs.

• The True Venerables debated the danger of Heavenly Tilting before a powerful aura erupted from the Middle Thousand World.

Qu Jianlei learned how the destruction of the Middle Thousand World created a karmic opportunity for him and the others, and the group divided the recovered World Core. An illumination then identified the fallen Great Monarch as Yuji, whom Little Sister recognized as someone once barred from the Taiyuan Sea’s “Dao Discussion” Mode.

• Han Li and Xiaoyou offered to protect Qu Jianlei when he attempted to break through to the Soul-Splitting Realm, while Little Sister offered her Abode as shelter.
• White Mist told Qu Jianlei that his Giant Axe was still consuming the lingering Deadly Silence Qi inside the destroyed Middle Thousand World.

Qu Jianlei and the others learned that Great Monarch Yuji’s Secret Treasure was in the dangerous Zhongling World, prompting debate over who should go and what risks awaited them. After Miss repaired Qu Jianlei’s Ritual Artifact, Qu agreed to lead the group there, but first they would return to Houde to recover and make preparations.

• Miss recalled that Yuji had once been refused permission to hold a Dao Discussion, while True Monarch Kanshui revealed that Yuji’s Secret Treasure was in Zhongling World.
• The group discussed Zhongling World’s hidden location, difficult entrance requirements, and powerful inhabitants, and Miss warned that retrieving the Secret Treasure could draw interference.
• Qu Jianlei hesitated to join the expedition, but Miss returned his Ritual Artifact fully repaired and explained that it needed to be complete to show its proper power.
• Luo Fu asked Qu Jianlei to take her back to Houde, and Qu agreed to lead the others toward Zhongling after they returned there first.
• Han Li said the group needed time to recover and repair his Palace, while True Monarch Kanshui asked whether he could return to Yuxiu World to recuperate.

Qu Jianlei returned to Houde, checked on Red Leaf Ridge, and demanded that One Palace Four Sages Mountain recognize his authority. Jin Ge then asked whether Baiqiao could accompany them to Zhongling World, and Qu Jianlei insisted that Baiqiao promise not to interfere with Jin Ge’s attempt to reach Soul-Splitting Realm.

• True Monarch Kanshui abandoned his plan to meet Qu Jianlei after Little Sister warned that Qu Jianlei was good at fishing, and Han Li learned that Senior Heng was likely above Soul-Splitting Realm.
• After eight months, Qu Jianlei and the others returned to Houde, where campaigns to explore Apollo World and Tree Race World had expanded and Cangwu Lower Realm was attracting settlers.

• Jin Ge reported that Baiqiao might go to Han Li if Qu Jianlei refused, while Qu Jianlei doubted Baiqiao’s stated reasons for wanting to go.

Qu Jianlei’s group gathered to travel to Zhongling World, with Baiqiao joining them after arranging it with Qu Jianlei. After a difficult journey, the group reached Zhongling’s chaotic outer void and prepared to risk divination to find its entrance.

• Song Yue'er presented Qu Jianlei with a bill that included a piece of Boundless Stone bought for Luo Fu’s Great Dao Spirit Inkstone, and Qu Jianlei agreed to reimburse her.
• Baiqiao arrived at the gathering, and Han Li learned that Baiqiao would travel with the group to Zhongling World.
• Eleven True Venerables spent a year and eight months reaching Zhongling World, repeatedly losing their bearings until True Monarch Kanshui shared the karmic burden with everyone.
• The group arrived in Zhongling World’s chaotic outer void, but White Mist could not safely illuminate the entrance, and Little Sister sheltered in Qu Jianlei’s Inner Space.
• Han Li prepared to use Divination Sticks to locate the entrance, and Qu Jianlei insisted on helping protect him, so Han Li asked Qu Jianlei and Baiqiao to assist.

Qu Jianlei's group prepared to divine the entrance to Zhongling World while a pair of blue-robed True Venerables watched from afar. Qu Jianlei found the exit with unnerving ease, then opened his right eye toward the distant pair as they raised a massive Taiji Diagram.

• Qu Jianlei's group chose their positions for the Three Powers Array, and Luo Fu volunteered to guard him from within it.
• After a day of preparations, Han Li and Xiaoyou detected five approaching cultivators; Xiaoyou drove off the two blue-robed True Venerables and their three Nascent Soul companions.
• True Venerable Kunxiu explained that outsiders who could not find Zhongling World's entrance sometimes appeared, while the group prepared to use the Three Powers Array.
• The blue-robed pair watched from a safe distance and realized Qu Jianlei's group was divining the entrance while protected by an array.
• With Luo Fu's Righteous Qi protecting him, Qu Jianlei used the Turtle Shell and Chess Piece to locate the exit and anchor its karma without harming anyone nearby.
• Qu Jianlei opened his right eye toward the blue-robed pair, who raised a huge Taiji Diagram in response.

Qu Jianlei and his companions found Zhongling World’s hidden entrance and negotiated entry with its gatekeeper, citing their debts of karma. They were allowed to enter in limited numbers, but the gatekeeper’s reaction to Ancestor Qing’s token remained unresolved.

• Qu Jianlei’s group warned the azure-robed True Venerables with a swift divine ability, then tracked down Zhongling World’s shifting entrance.
• The group entered the passage and told the Out-of-Body Realm gatekeeper they had come to settle karma, showing Baiqiao’s Lingyun token.
• The gatekeeper allowed Baiqiao to bring two people but barred those from Lianxing, then let Qu Jianlei enter with one or two companions after hearing he had killed a Great Monarch.
• The gatekeeper refused to let the Spider on Qu Jianlei’s shoulder enter without a Great Monarch’s endorsement, but Kanshui’s offer to vouch for it was rejected under Zhongling’s rules.
• Qu Jianlei took out Ancestor Qing’s token and asked whether it would change the gatekeeper’s decision.

Qu Jianlei used Luo Fu’s Haoran Token to bring his group into Zhongling World, where a Spirit Monarch inspected them without stopping their passage. The group reached the Diecui Plate and found its vast, sparsely populated lands remarkably peaceful as they prepared to visit a large market for news.

• Qu Jianlei borrowed Luo Fu’s Haoran Token and showed it to the gatekeeper, who let him and his companions enter while holding the two travelers from Lianxing World back.
• A Spirit Monarch inspected the group in the passage, focused on Qu Jianlei, then withdrew after Qu Jianlei revealed the Creation Compass.
• Qu Jianlei and the others emerged into Zhongling World, traveled for several days, and arrived near the Diecui Plate.
• The group descended onto Diecui, where the local True Venerables barely reacted to their arrival or the visitors’ divine-sense probing.
• Song Yue'er suggested that they find the largest market on Diecui to look around and ask for news.

The group searched the Diecui sector for news about the Zhongling World, then learned about the sector’s Great Monarch and encountered True Venerable Peach. Qu Jianlei traded insights about his Chaos Wood Spirit for Peach’s help, and True Venerable Peach offered five Origins of Wood for the unusual wood attribute from the Otherworld.

• Qu Jianlei and his companions searched three Residential Areas for news but found little, and a visiting Out-of-Body True Venerable refused to help them.
• True Monarch Kanshui visited True Venerable Peach, who explained Zhongling’s situation and revealed that a Great Monarch guarded Diecui from a hidden Tier 6 Spirit Vein.
• True Monarch Kanshui gave True Venerable Peach an Origin of Water, and Peach offered an Origin of Wood to Qu Jianlei in exchange for asking about his unusual Wood Attribute karma.
• Qu Jianlei revealed the Creation Compass and explained that the Chaos Wood Spirit had been a spirit monster before he killed it, so True Venerable Peach declined to take its aura.
• Qu Jianlei offered a thick branch from his body instead, and True Venerable Peach recognized it as unusual Otherworld wood and offered five Origins of Wood for a living Nascent Soul Realm body.

Qu Jianlei refused to trade Wind Forgotten to True Venerable Peach, assigning the Tree Traitor to guard Cangwu Realm while allowing it to leave offspring behind. After the group reached Daizhu to seek Great Monarch Yuji's Secret Treasure, they found its location caught in a dispute over a Tier 5 Spirit Vein and decided against sneaking in, leaving Qu Jianlei's proposal to visit the Great Monarch openly under consideration.

• Qu Jianlei refused True Venerable Peach's offer of five strands of the Origin of Wood for Wind Forgotten and said he would use the Tree Traitor to guard Cangwu Realm.
• True Venerable Peach asked Wind Forgotten to leave offspring for study, and Qu Jianlei agreed before the group departed for Daizhu.
• True Venerable Bai Qiao revealed that he had business involving Lingyun's karma and asked Jin Ge to accompany him, while the other True Venerables continued onward.
• The group arrived at Daizhu and learned that True Venerable Qisi and True Venerable Zijing were fighting over a Tier 5 Spirit Vein near the peninsula where Great Monarch Yuji's Secret Treasure was located.
• Qu Jianlei's group rejected sneaking into the heavily guarded peninsula and considered visiting the Great Monarch directly, a plan True Venerable Yueran supported.

Qu Jianlei and his companions sought the Great Monarch’s permission to settle a Great Monarch’s karma on Daizhu, and received approval to keep the disturbance small and leave quickly. They then went to the peninsula and contacted True Venerable Qisi, while True Venerable Wusheng clarified that the visitors—not he—wanted to speak with him.

• Qu Jianlei’s group asked to report their business to the Great Monarch, and True Venerable Wusheng arrived to hear their purpose.
• Qu Jianlei said a Great Monarch had schemed against him, an elder had killed that Great Monarch, and he had come to settle the remaining karma on the peninsula.
• Qu Jianlei declined to name the fallen Great Monarch or his elder, and Wusheng relayed the Great Monarch’s instruction to keep the disturbance small and leave when finished.
• True Venerable Han Wei suggested inviting Wusheng along, but Wusheng declined because his presence could cause misunderstandings amid the fighting.
• Qu Jianlei’s group went to the peninsula and contacted True Venerable Qisi, while Wusheng stated that the visitors were the ones seeking him.

Qu Jianlei and the Seven True Venerables confronted True Venerable Jiayao after he interfered in their meeting with True Venerable Qisi. Their battle began with Jiayao revealing himself as a Great Monarch, and Qu Jianlei’s Creation and Destruction and time-tearing abilities unexpectedly slowed him.

• True Venerable Qisi declined to invite Qu Jianlei into his territory, and True Venerable Jiayao suddenly arrived, demanding to know why Qu Jianlei had come.
• Qu Jianlei warned Jiayao against involving himself, but Jiayao insisted on intervening and challenged him to fight.
• Qu Jianlei and the others moved hundreds of millions of kilometers away and set up the Starry Sky Three Powers Array as Jiayao revealed his Great Monarch aura.
• Jiayao twisted space and attacked the Spider Grand Monarch, but Qu Jianlei used Creation and Destruction to make Jiayao’s enormous body freeze.
• Qu Jianlei and Xiaoyou combined their abilities to unleash time’s tearing force, twisting Jiayao’s body and bringing fear to his eyes.
• True Venerable Qisi arrived, witnessed the battle, and fled after realizing he could not risk becoming entangled in such powerful karma.

Han Li and the others fought True Monarch Jiayao, a young Tier 6 Spirit Vein, until Great Monarch Jiuping intervened and demanded an explanation. Jiuping offered gifts to settle the matter, then learned the group had defied and slain Yuji, whose identity they had prudently concealed.

• Han Li struck True Monarch Jiayao with Extreme Dao Golden Flame while Qu Jianlei restrained him, and Xiaoyou and the Giant Axe blocked Great Monarch Jiuping's intervention.
• True Monarch Jiuping appeared, apologized for Jiayao's behavior, and explained that the child had developed intelligence less than a thousand years earlier and liked wine and delicacies.
• Song Yue'er challenged Jiuping's account, and he offered each of the group a set of Five Elements Source as a greeting gift.
• Qu Jianlei admitted he had withheld the name of the person whose karma they had settled, and Little Sister revealed that it was Yuji.
• True Monarch Han Wei explained to Xiaoyou that Yuji controlled Daizhu and that naming him to Wusheng could have provoked a dangerous reaction.

True Monarch Jiuping tried to settle the dispute after his protégé Little Fatty attacked the group, but Qu Jianlei insisted on an apology. Jiuping ultimately punished Little Fatty himself, while discovering that several members of the group seemed connected to the Righteous Sect and leaving him wary of their hidden strength.

• Qu Jianlei demanded that Little Fatty come out and apologize, but Jiuping resisted when the group insisted on an apology before discussing compensation.
• Little Sister threatened to abandon the trip to Peninsula and asked whether the Channel Entrance guard held a grudge against Jiuping, making him realize the group might face trouble at the inspection.
• Jiuping released Little Fatty and ordered him to apologize, but Little Fatty refused and blamed Qu Jianlei for hurting him.
• Qu Jianlei withdrew his demand, and Jiuping recognized signs that Qu Jianlei and Luo Fu were connected to the Righteous Sect before beating Little Fatty for his defiance.
• Luo Fu urged Buduo to eliminate the potential danger, and Han Li reacted with delight when she called him Qu Jianlei's Dao Companion.

Qu Jianlei and the others settled matters with True Monarch Jiuping, who gave Qu Jianlei a wisp of Tier 6 vitality and promised compensation after learning the danger Yuji posed. With True Venerable Qisi’s permission, the group entered the peninsula and found Yuji’s hidden treasury, leaving its contents unexplored.

• True Monarch Jiuping destroyed Little Fatty, then recreated him and gave Qu Jianlei a wisp of Tier 6 vitality to nurture into a Tier 6 Spirit Vein.
• True Monarch Kanshui explained that Yuji had become a Heretical Cultivator and escaped after they found him refining a Great Dao avatar, prompting True Monarch Jiuping to realize the danger to Daizhu and sincerely thank them.
• Song Yue'er asked for compensation, and True Monarch Jiuping agreed to give each person one set of Five Elements Source.
• The Seven True Venerables returned to the peninsula, and True Venerable Qisi agreed to let them enter and settle their karma.
• The group located Yuji’s secret treasury beneath a lakeside manor, and True Venerable Han Wei blasted open its entrance.

Qu Jianlei and his companions learned that Baiqiao was seeking the Xuantian Twin Pavilions and traveled to the Xingyi Plate, whose territory belonged to the newly ascended True Monarch Kong Yu. After spending several days exploring, they were approached by a True Venerable who sought out Xiaoyou and her two companions.

• Qu Jianlei gave True Venerable Wusheng a Secondary Nest and asked about the Xingyi Plate, where two companions had gone to handle another matter.
• True Monarch Jiuping explained that Baiqiao was likely pursuing Xuantian Pavilion, described how Lingyun's pavilion had been stolen, and identified Xingyi as Kong Yu's territory.
• White Mist declined to accompany the group to Xingyi because he and Kong Yu did not get along, while Kanshui said Kong Yu was not born in Zhongling and agreed to stay in Zhongling for a while.
• Qu Jianlei's group arrived at Xingyi and crossed paths with Baiqiao and Jin Ge without acknowledging them.
• The group explored the Xingyi Plate in two parties for seven or eight days, until a True Venerable came looking for Xiaoyou and her two companions.

Baiqiao secured a Tier 5 Spirit Vein on the Yihui Plate and summoned Qu Jianlei’s group to help establish his presence there. He planned to reveal Lingyun’s origins and pay the remaining balance quickly, while the others wondered whether the purchase might attract trouble.

• True Venerables approached Xiaoyou’s group and Qu Jianlei’s group separately to recruit them into Great Monarchs’ service, prompting Qu Jianlei to suspect Jin Ge and Baiqiao had left for a similar reason.
• Jin Ge told the group that Baiqiao had negotiated a Tier 5 Spirit Vein purchase on the Yihui Plate and asked them to come support him.
• Baiqiao explained that he had paid a thirty percent deposit and wanted to station people at the site, allowing visitors from Wanwu Realm with the group’s tokens to stay temporarily.
• Baiqiao learned that Qu Jianlei’s group had fought and that Song Yue’er’s side had destroyed half a Great Monarch, then asked Senior Taiyuan to shield them briefly.
• Baiqiao said he intended to reveal his origins and pay the balance within half a month, while Han Li asked whether he feared being robbed after completing the deal.

Baiqiao's attempt to buy a Spirit Vein was challenged by two True Venerables and then Great Monarch Kong Yu, who voided the transaction. Qu Jianlei backed Baiqiao and revealed his connection to the Cyan Glow that had harmed Jiuping, leaving Kong Yu stunned.

• Two True Venerables arrived and urged Baiqiao to abandon the Spirit Vein transaction because his many visitors had attracted the Great Monarch's attention.
• Baiqiao demanded the agreed compensation, while Han Li pushed the True Venerables to begin their operation rather than merely threaten him.
• Great Monarch Kong Yu intervened, voided the transaction, and rejected Baiqiao's demand for threefold compensation.
• Kong Yu ordered the True Venerables to return and said he could invite whoever they wanted, prompting Qu Jianlei to answer that no invitation was needed.
• Qu Jianlei showed his Cyan Glow, and Kong Yu recognized it as connected to the injury inflicted on Jiuping.

True Monarch Kong Yu reconsidered canceling the spirit-vein transaction after Baiqiao revealed Lingyun Sect’s purpose and Taiyuan intervened on Qu Jianlei’s behalf. The chapter ended with Kong Yu recognizing Luo Fu’s connection to the Righteous Sect and recalling its visit to Zhongling eight hundred years earlier.

• True Monarch Kong Yu offered triple compensation to end the transaction, but Qu Jianlei pressed him about payment and Baiqiao revealed he was Lingyun Sect’s acting leader.
• Baiqiao explained that Lingyun wanted the spirit vein as a foothold for gathering information about Xuantian Pavilion, and said the sect could return it after its search.
• Taiyuan sealed the space around Kong Yu’s divine sense and confronted him for insulting Lingyun’s acting leader, then demanded to know whether Lingyun was investigating the Haoran Sect.
• Kong Yu recognized that Lingyun and Haoran had ties after noticing Luo Fu’s unusual aura, while Luo Fu admitted he was not yet a Righteous Sect disciple.
• Kong Yu recalled that someone from the Righteous Sect had visited Zhongling eight hundred years earlier while attacking and seizing two Otherworlds.

Qu Jianlei spoke with True Monarch Kong Yu about Xinglu World, Heavenly Tilting, and a friend’s Nirvana breakthrough, while Kong Yu offered him guidance and sought his insights on Creation. After the group declined to settle in Zhongling because they were tied to Heavenly Tilting, Kong Yu demanded to know who Luo Fu’s master was.

• Qu Jianlei asked about the bearings of two worlds, and True Monarch Kong Yu directed him to ask Great Monarch Mi'er about the new Xinglu World.
• Little Sister learned that Mi'er was recuperating in Zhongling and decided to visit him, while True Monarch Kong Yu sent Black-White True Venerable to handle the formalities.
• True Monarch Kong Yu invited Qu Jianlei to settle in Zhongling, but Qu Jianlei declined because he had a foundation in Houde and was involved in Heavenly Tilting’s causality.
• Qu Jianlei asked True Monarch Kong Yu for advice on his friend’s attempt to reach the Out-of-Body Realm through Nirvana, and Kong Yu gave him a Jade Talisman in exchange for Qu Jianlei’s insights on Creation.
• True Monarch Kong Yu gave the seven True Venerables strands of the Source of Water and invited them to stay in Zhongling, but they refused because they were tied to Heavenly Tilting.
• True Monarch Kong Yu glared at Luo Fu and demanded to know who her master was after learning that the group was involved in Heavenly Tilting.

True Monarch Kong Yu weighed whether to join the effort to Save the Heavens from Tilting while the group settled a Tier 5 Spirit Vein in Zhongling and avoided revealing details to Black and White True Venerable. After more than half a month, Little Sister returned, and Kong Yu appeared beside the group carrying a sharpened stick with a Great Monarch’s aura.

• Luo Fu, Han Li, Xiaoyou, Han Wei, and Qu Jianlei discussed the heavens tilting with True Monarch Kong Yu, who left while considering whether to take part.
• Baiqiao and Jin Ge completed the Tier 5 Spirit Vein procedures in two days, and the group spent more than half a month exploring the Yihui Sector.
• Black and White True Venerable questioned the two Lianxing True Venerables, but Social Butterfly True Venerable carefully concealed the reason they were waiting.
• Little Sister returned and said Kong Yu had tried to recruit the group without giving them a Tier 5 Spirit Vein, while Qu Jianlei discussed their plans to leave after Baiqiao finished organizing it.
• True Monarch Kong Yu appeared beside the group with a sharpened gray stick that carried the aura of a Great Monarch.

Qu Jianlei negotiated with Crystal Ancestor over guiding a search for more than a million Crystal Race members in a dangerous world, securing promises of aid in exchange. True Monarch Kong Yu then privately asked Qu Jianlei to help protect a senior attempting the Out-of-Body Realm, and Qu Jianlei learned the senior would not pursue his Female Cultivators.

• Crystal Ancestor asked Qu Jianlei about the Crystal Race group, and Qu Jianlei warned that their territory was dangerously difficult to reach and lay under his protection.
• Crystal Ancestor offered favors and promised not to burden the Human Race with the Crystal Race migration, so Qu Jianlei demanded nine favors for the nine True Venerables and refused to guarantee their safety.
• True Monarch Kong Yu agreed to witness the bargain, and Crystal Ancestor left to prepare for the trip.
• True Monarch Kong Yu privately asked Qu Jianlei to protect a senior attempting the Out-of-Body Realm and promised to keep the senior alive even if the attempt failed.
• Qu Jianlei cautioned Kong Yu about the lack of progress, then asked whether the senior was a Ganxiu or a female cultivator; Kong Yu assured him the senior would not steal his Female Cultivators.

Qu Jianlei recruited Great Monarch Bangchui to join the journey and learned that the Maiden Star Region and its Silent Zone might involve a higher dimension. The group continued toward the Crystal Race’s loose end, while Taiyuan Sea revealed why she wanted to investigate the Silent Zone.

• True Monarch Kong Yu asked Qu Jianlei about Saving the Heavens from Tilting, and an androgynous Great Monarch traded a strand of True Meaning of Creation for information from Senior Heng.
• Qu Jianlei set conditions for Bangchui to join the group, and Taiyuan Sea agreed to bring him along while ordering him to obey and not act independently.
• Qu Jianlei invited True Monarch Kanshui to come with them, but Kanshui refused because traveling with Qu Jianlei was too dangerous.
• The group left Zhongling World and passed through Houde, where Baiqiao and True Monarch Kong Yu's avatar departed before the others continued toward the Crystal Race’s loose end.
• Taiyuan Sea told Qu Jianlei that True Monarch Mi'er suspected a high-dimensional impact had injured him, and Qu Jianlei connected the clue to the Silent Zone.
• Taiyuan Sea explained that she wanted to investigate the Silent Zone as a possible higher-dimensional phenomenon and said she had not stopped the two Great Monarchs from joining the trip.

Qu Jianlei led Crystal Ancestor and Stick to the Maiden Star Region to investigate the Crystal Race’s trapped kin and the chaotic energy surrounding them. After finding the energy cloud, he proposed using its Silent Extinction aura to investigate a way to break Heavenly Tilting’s deadlock, and Crystal Ancestor agreed to take the dangerous first step.

• Qu Jianlei brought Crystal Ancestor and Stick to the Maiden Star Region and required them to acknowledge that they were entering of their own will.
• Xiaoyou told the Great Monarchs that the Human Race had left resources behind for the Crystal Race and had prevented them from following when the group departed.
• The group searched for over a year and found the chaotic energy cloud, where Stick sensed a dense Crystal Race karma but thought the barrier seemed easy to break.
• Qu Jianlei proposed divining the high-dimensional factors and Heavenly Tilting karma in the Silent Zone, but the deep divine sense volunteered to perform the divination.
• Qu Jianlei displayed his creation and destruction ability, and the deep divine sense recognized its high-dimensional connection while Stick remarked on its refinement.

Qu Jianlei and the others returned to the Dead Silent Zone with the Crystal Race’s Great Monarch, Spring, and discovered that a strange, high-dimensional space might serve as a primer for their efforts. Qu Jianlei began calculating how to devour the space, but the difficulty of grasping its high-dimensional factors remained unresolved.

• The deep divine sense confirmed that Qu Jianlei’s offering could serve as a primer and suggested operating after entering the Silent Zone.
• Han Li and Jin Ge led the group into the Dead Silent Zone, where Stick ordered the Crystal Race members not to act without authorization.
• The Crystal Race welcomed Stick as its True Monarch, while Stick learned that the race had lost most of its population during its long confinement.
• After five days of searching, Qu Jianlei identified a point beside Spring, then spent two days running exhaustive calculations.
• Qu Jianlei explained that he wanted to devour the Dead Silent Zone, but absorbing it was too slow and locking down its high-dimensional factors was difficult.
