Chapter Summaries

Orsaga watched as countless beings and their counterparts across timelines merged, their powers and personalities clashing within a spacetime-wide collision. After the final impact, a vast crucible of light settled and produced countless beings at least at the Greater Demon level, completing Orsaga’s basic preparations.

• Orsaga delighted in the destruction as he accelerated the collisions among the scarlet meteors.

• Orsaga released his left hand and declared that the basic preparations after cooking were complete.

Newly fused gods and demons awoke in confusion and noticed Orsaga inside a palace, but his true form corrupted them with crimson flames and viruses. As their suffering filled the void with death tribulation flowers, dozens of powerful figures attacked Orsaga, leaving the battle unresolved.

• Death tribulation flowers bloomed across the burning bodies and infected souls, spreading through the void into a vast blood-red garden.
• Orsaga admired the flowers as dozens of powerful figures, already burning and near death, rushed from the turbulent void and attacked him.

Orsaga used half of his Demon Lord authority and his own heart to create Ideal Dreamland, a new high-level plane built from every imaginable possibility of beauty and goodness. The plane had just been born, leaving Orsaga’s advancement sacrifice complete.

• Orsaga regarded the shattered Spacetime Cage and its inhabitants as insignificant, valuing them only for their possibilities, coordinates, and existence.
• Orsaga’s avatar stirred the Cage’s information and concepts, drawing out possibilities and extending strands of causality into distant regions of the multiverse.

• Orsaga used his authority to evolve countless possibilities until an impossible outcome appeared.
• Orsaga’s heart transformed into blood-red liquid and flowed into the black pool, where golden holy light emerged as distant strands gathered concepts of beauty and goodness.
• Orsaga created the immature high-level plane Ideal Dreamland at the cost of half his foundation and authority.

Orsaga considered how good and evil, beauty and ugliness depended on perspective, using the contradictions of a Utopian Society to show that no ideal was flawless to everyone. He used his knowledge of the wishes of the lives he had killed to shape Ideal Dreamland into a realm that would manifest shared ideals of True Good and Beauty while rejecting what its Collective Consciousness judged evil and ugly.

• The chapter described how different species and individuals judged morality and beauty according to their nature, experiences, and interests.
• The text questioned whether a society of complete equality and shared abundance was truly beautiful, since it could erase the rewards of effort and talent.
• It argued that ideals could appear perfect from one perspective and flawed from another, making beauty relative rather than absolute.
• Orsaga designed Ideal Dreamland to combine the ideals of all lifeforms into a Collective Consciousness that would serve as its standard for good and beauty.
• Orsaga drew on the memories and heartfelt desires of the countless beings he had killed as he began turning their ideals into reality.

Ideal Dreamland began as an endlessly expanding plain where newly born light beings shaped the world through their wishes and grew stronger through their innate Infinite Energy Trait. The beings formed the Ideal Dream Race, established a way to mark time, and advanced toward Abyss Lord Level as a peaceful, unified society.

• The Primal Star Body scattered light dots that formed cocoons and hatched into lifeforms, whose strength rapidly rose from Middle Demon Level to Upper Demon Level and beyond.
• The newborn lifeforms’ wishes caused Ideal Dreamland to create food, communication networks, varied scenery, and new abilities.
• Ideal Dreamland excluded scarcity, aging, death, and negative concepts, leaving its residents in a peaceful world of infinite resources and territory.
• The residents agreed to create a semi-transparent clock to record the passage of time.
• The beings named themselves the Ideal Dream Race and, with their minds and power unified, approached Abyss Lord Level.

At the end of the Initial Period, the Ideal Dream Race began creating life in several Independent Time and Space Layers, then shaped those regions into places where their creations could live. Their unrestrained experiments filled the layers with powerful, optimistic lifeforms and occasional disturbances, ushering in the Ignorant Period.

• The Ideal Dream Race chose several Independent Time and Space Layers as experimental sites for creating new lifeforms.
• After debating what their creations should look like, the Ideal Dream Race generated strange lifeforms and gave them great power, rapid evolution, and traits resembling their own.
• The creations began producing further generations, quickly filling the experimental sites with varied lifeforms.
• The Ideal Dream Race transformed the layers with Living Stars, complete land, Subordinate Authorities, and spaces where creations could build private dwellings.
• As the immortal, powerful, and benevolent lifeforms spread, their unrestrained actions caused minor disturbances, marking the Ignorant Period.

After billions of years of discussion, the Ideal Dream Race reached Abyss Lord Level and united to take control of Ideal Dreamland’s Primal Star. There, they discovered Orsaga’s role in creating them as sacrifices and asked him about it, and he openly confirmed the truth.

• The Ideal Dream Race spent more than a hundred billion years debating shared standards and solutions as new lifeforms and problems continued to emerge.
• Several members of the Ideal Dream Race reached Abyss Lord Level, then the entire race fused their powers and minds and traveled to the Primal Star.
• The Ideal Dream Race took over Ideal Dreamland’s authority and learned its rules, history, and the existence of Orsaga and the plane’s hidden reverse side.
• The Ideal Dream Race established a connection with Orsaga and learned that they had been created to serve as sacrifices.
• Orsaga confirmed that he needed foundations and sacrifices to advance further, and that the Ideal Dream Race had been born for that purpose.

Orsaga gave the Ideal Dream Race an hourglass and one hour to decide whether to accept his demand that all of Ideal Dreamland become his sacrifice. While they used their new rule authority to transform the realm and share the news with everyone, its inhabitants discussed the threat cheerfully and considered agreeing.

• The Ideal Dream Race asked Orsaga to spare them in exchange for their power, but he insisted that all of Ideal Dreamland would be sacrificed.
• Orsaga gave the Ideal Dream Race an hourglass and promised not to interfere until its radiance ran out, allowing them to consult other living beings before answering.
• The Ideal Dream Race used their plane authority to alter Ideal Dreamland, enabling unrestricted travel and letting residents create and customize their own worlds.
• The Ideal Dream Race established a realm-wide Collective Consciousness and shared Orsaga's ultimatum and their memories of meeting him with everyone.
• Ideal Dreamland's inhabitants debated what death meant and whether to accept Orsaga's proposal, while the Ideal Dream Race considered agreeing.

Orsaga watched Ideal Dreamland from the sea of Death Tribulation Flowers and reflected on how its limited creator privileges had given it immense potential. He regarded the world as both a cornerstone and a trial on his path to becoming a Demon Prince, and intended to overcome it by force if it resisted.

• Orsaga observed scenes and discussions within Ideal Dreamland from his throne in the Opposite Time and Space.
• Orsaga recalled that he had surrendered most of his Control Authority when creating Ideal Dreamland, leaving possibility and impossibility to shape it.
• Orsaga considered whether investing all his authority might have created a Demon Prince-level existence, but remembered that he had held back for his wife and daughter.
• Orsaga viewed Ideal Dreamland as a trial from the Demon Prince level and planned to destroy it and claim it as his cornerstone if it resisted him.
• Orsaga believed that even if Ideal Dreamland cooperated, it might signal that the Demon Prince level acknowledged his qualification.

Orsaga used the Black Mist key to travel through a passage spanning countless Time and Space Planes and reach the Unity Council’s headquarters, the End Venue. There, he met Purple Tribulation, who began introducing him to the venue and the Council’s loosely enforced customs.

• Orsaga separated an avatar and part of the key’s origin from his true body, then opened a gateway to the Unity Council’s headquarters.
• Orsaga’s avatar traveled through the passage for about twenty years before reaching the End Venue.
• Orsaga arrived at the strange, hard-to-affect venue and sensed that its visitors occupied separate layers.
• Purple Tribulation, a Central Administrator created by His Majesty the Ender, welcomed Orsaga and explained that the Unity Council’s rules were mostly customs with little binding force.
• Orsaga greeted Purple Tribulation, and they walked toward the inner regions of the End Venue as they talked.

Orsaga learned how the End Venue feeds on destruction and discovered the Unity Council’s factions, especially the Slaughter Faction. After hearing that Abyss Demons made up most of its members, he seemed eager to join.

• Purple Tribulation explained that His Majesty the Ender founded the Unity Council’s base in the Bottomless Abyss and rarely involved himself in its affairs.
• Orsaga sensed threads in the End Venue that connected to things nearing destruction and understood that they served as omens and countdowns.

• Purple Tribulation described the Unity Council’s factions and said the Slaughter Faction’s members focused solely on killing one another.
• Orsaga praised the Slaughter Faction’s ideals, and Purple Tribulation noted that most of its members were Abyss Demons and that Orsaga would fit in.

• Orsaga approved of the Council’s extreme ambitions, including one group’s plan to slaughter everyone in the Multiverse to rebuild it into a more harmonious place.

Purple Tribulation explained the End Venue’s domains to Orsaga, who sent a stronger avatar to explore the dangerous Inner Layer Domain. After the avatars fused, Orsaga’s strength rose into the upper ranks of Abyss Lords, and Purple Tribulation judged that he could enter safely unless he encountered certain powerful councilors.

• Purple Tribulation explained that the End Venue contained a Foundation Domain, an Inner Layer Domain, and faction headquarters with varying entry requirements.
• Orsaga asked whether his current avatar could enter the Inner Layer Domain, and Purple Tribulation warned that powerful councilors might crush it accidentally.
• Orsaga sent a much stronger avatar from Crimson Heaven, and Purple Tribulation used his access privileges to bring it directly into the End Venue.
• Orsaga fused the two avatars, greatly increasing his strength and raising the new avatar into the upper ranks among Abyss Lords.
• Purple Tribulation said Orsaga should be safe in the Inner Layer Domain unless he encountered certain Chief Councilors or Grand Councilors with twisted tastes.

Orsaga sensed the overwhelming powers of Abyss Prince Level beings in the Inner Layer Domain and considered how their existence differed from ordinary life. He concluded that their concepts and the territories those concepts reached let them manifest their power and protect their subordinates across the Multiverse.

• Orsaga was fascinated by the immense power unconsciously emanating from the Abyss Prince Level beings, while Purple Tribulation remained accustomed to it.
• Orsaga experienced how their clashing powers distorted time, space, and other concepts within the Inner Layer Domain.

• Orsaga reasoned that wherever a concept such as slaughter appeared, its corresponding Abyss Prince could descend without delay or loss of power.
• Orsaga recalled that the Jade Emperor could draw on Haotian Shangdi through the spread of Dao, and compared their connection to that of the Chaos Gods and the Warhammer plane.
• Orsaga concluded that Abyss Prince Level beings protected their subordinates wherever their concepts extended.

Orsaga experienced the crushing influence of an Abyss Prince Level being in the Inner Layer Domain and learned how far such powers surpassed abyss lords. Purple Tribulation explained that they could generally explore the domain safely and sometimes trade with its greater beings.

• Orsaga felt a nearby higher being’s power displace concepts and pressure his avatar, though it bore him no malice.
• Orsaga realized the being’s influence was reshaping his avatar, but his demon lord strength kept him from being fully transformed.
• Orsaga sensed the enormous being and understood that its presence alone could destroy his avatar if it turned hostile.
• Orsaga compared the power of Abyss Prince Level beings with the strongest attacks of Komoz and the War Devil Counterpart, recognizing those attacks as negligible by comparison.
• Purple Tribulation told Orsaga that most Chief Councilors and Grand Councilors ignored lesser visitors, and that some beings had managed to trade with them.

Purple Tribulation explained how the Unity Council’s upper-level members could punish Abyss Lord Level offenders by sending their avatars into the Abyss Blood Battlefield. He described how Abyss Prince Level beings could influence the Multiverse and why those trapped in the battlefield struggled to leave.

• Purple Tribulation warned Orsaga not to offend upper-level Unity Council members, who could kill Abyss Lord Level beings with ease.
• Purple Tribulation explained that Chief Councilors and Grand Councilors handled punishments and could use the Abyss Blood Battlefield to hunt offenders.
• Purple Tribulation described how Abyss Prince Level beings could either ignore the battlefield or respond to it and have their concepts dragged down throughout the Multiverse.
• Purple Tribulation explained that Abyss Prince Level beings trapped in the battlefield could not die there and could escape only by negating the rule preventing their departure.
• Purple Tribulation said that some Chief Councilors and Grand Councilors trapped in the battlefield acted as cleaners for allies, eliminating troublesome Abyss Lord Level members.

Purple Tribulation brought Orsaga to the Unity Council’s Meeting Area and explained how a Seed of Power would grant him membership and its permissions. Orsaga created his Seat of Power, joined the Council, and surveyed the seats of its powerful members as Purple Tribulation left, expecting him to make a major impact.

• Purple Tribulation took Orsaga to the Unity Council’s Meeting Area and explained that the seats belonged to its councilors and that a Seat of Power was required for membership.
• Purple Tribulation gave Orsaga a Seed of Power and explained its role in generating a seat and granting Council permissions.
• Orsaga infused the Seed of Power with his essence, creating a Seat of Power and gaining access to Council permissions and its public information exchange channel.
• Orsaga learned that members could use their seats to communicate and travel to the Meeting Area, while the Council offered no guarantees about member collaborations.
• Purple Tribulation departed, and Orsaga sat on his new seat and looked toward the seats of the Grand Councilors and Chief Councilors.
• Purple Tribulation reflected that Orsaga’s confidence and extreme nature meant he would either die quickly or rise quickly, and he anticipated what Orsaga would do.

After joining the Unity Council, Orsaga considered whether to seek out a faction, but his daughter Avici urged him to make the choice by rolling a die. The chapter ended with Orsaga taking one out.

• Orsaga completed Unity Council verification, gained new permissions, and sensed he could reach the End Venue and detect nearby official members.
• Orsaga considered joining a faction to exchange information and take part in its strange schemes.
• Avici found Orsaga deep in thought and asked whether his deliberations concerned the Ideal Dream Realm.
• Orsaga explained that he was deciding whether to do something that might be interesting or boring, and Avici told him to roll a die.
• Orsaga agreed and casually took out a die.

After deciding not to join a faction, Orsaga gave Avici a book describing the blood-soaked life of his emotionless War Devil counterpart. Keliya then asked when Orsaga would begin his long-awaited advancement, and he said it would happen soon after his final preparations were ready.

• Orsaga accepted the die's result that he would not join a faction and joked that he might start one himself.
• Avici asked what Orsaga would have been like without love, family, and friendship, and he described his War Devil Counterpart's life of relentless slaughter.
• Orsaga gave Avici a prepared book about the War Devil Counterpart, which she could experience and use to learn some abilities.
• Keliya lifted Avici from Orsaga's arms and cautioned him that the book might be too much for her at her age.
• Keliya asked when Orsaga would advance, and he said he needed only a little more time to finish his preparations.
