Chapter Summaries

Ju built a Void Cutter to dismantle the Breathing Soil Skeleton, while Lu Yao learned that the Void Spirit inside was a dangerous fugitive and recovered a Mobile Space Box from the skeleton. As the excavation continued, Francis and Bin achieved a historic visit to an unknown civilization, drawing Lu Yao’s attention back to the Yao Tribe.

The Ghost Lighthouse crashed on a desolate Grit World, leaving Francis and Bin stranded after the deaths of Soke and Shelby. Their attempts to contact their gods failed, but a Paper Person arrived and greeted them.

• Their prayers to God Yao and God Fa Hai went unanswered, and they fortified the camp with stone walls.
• On the fourth day, a friendly Paper Person arrived and spoke to Francis and Bin.

Francis and Bin survived in Baili Country’s meteor-impact zone by building a protected camp and using Cloud Roses to shield the sky. Kasa discovered their Thousand Changes Paper Roses could make death-substitute Origami Avatars, and offered plentiful Omnipotence Stones because Baili Country’s supply of folded paper was dwindling.

• Kasa explained Baili Country’s folded-paper way of life, its dance battles, and how people expressed intimacy by exchanging gifts that became part of their bodies.
• Francis and Bin declined Kasa’s offer to become folded paper or visit Baili Country, and Kasa warned them that meteors regularly struck the area.
• Francis and Bin rebuilt their camp as a protected cave, planted Cloud Roses with Omnipotence Stone fertilizer, and used the flowers to block the Meteor Shower.
• Kasa was astonished that Cloud Roses could stop meteors and learned that the Yao Tribe used roses for many purposes.
• Francis showed Kasa a Thousand Changes Paper Rose, which could supply material for Origami Avatars that took a fatal blow in their users’ place.
• Kasa offered Francis and Bin as many Omnipotence Stones as they wanted because Baili Country’s supply of Giant Baili’s Base Paper was running low.

Kasa explained Baili Country’s paper-folding system and its shortage of Base Paper, so Francis and Bin agreed to cultivate Thousand Changes Paper Roses in exchange for local goods. After the pair settled into cooperation with Seal City, Francis summoned Kali, who recognized the region as a hidden special crevice and ordered him to follow her instructions.

• Kasa described Seal City’s paper-folding process, Baili Country’s shrinking supply of Base Paper, and his hope that Thousand Changes Paper Roses could help.

• Kali appeared after Francis’s month of prayers, identified the region as a hidden special crevice, and ordered him to do as she said.

Lu Yao learned from Spirit Duke about Di Jun, the Immortal Tree, and how to cultivate the Elixir of Immortality, then set plans in motion to create Di Jun and grow an Immortal Tree. His questioning was cut short when Spirit Duke flagged the Immortal Platform as illegal access and shut down the connection for 48 hours.
