Chapter Summaries

Chen Yi and Levan Grosso negotiated with Gilmer Constantine for Sweet Dream Coins, while Levan secretly tried to use the Scripture of the Screenwriter to write Chen Yi’s fate. The book erased his first attempt, but Levan’s next entry drove the Fertility Priest to attack the Tribunal with summoned monsters, where Babro and Carlos met the assault.

• Chen Yi and Levan Grosso bargained with Gilmer Constantine and received 5,700 Sweet Dream Coins, while Chen Yi learned that the Royal Bloodline used the World Heart to produce them.
• Chen Yi asked Levan Grosso to borrow the missing Scripture of the Screenwriter, and Levan later used the book and the Flesh and Blood Pen to try writing “Rowen Yi” into it.
• The Scripture erased Levan Grosso’s first attempt, so he wrote that the Fertility Priest would take revenge on Rowen Yi.
• The Fertility Priest led hundreds of Fertility Believers in sacrificing twenty pairs of mothers and daughters, summoning towering monsters to attack the Tribunal.
• Babro caught a leaping monster in fine threads, while Carlos set down the head she was carrying and apologized.

The Tribunal fought the Fertility Believers and the monstrous spider born from their dead bodies, while Chen Yi watched and gained insights about pollution and Heart Fire. Carlos killed the Fertility Priest, but he reappeared through one of the spiders and claimed his Deity had granted him infinite life.

• Babro and the Tribunal members killed the Fertility Believers’ monsters, but the Fertility Priest turned their corpses into a gigantic spider that spread powerful pollution.
• Carlos dodged the Priest’s invisible tentacles and cut one of them while the spider created smaller monsters from the surrounding soil and buildings.
• Rowen Yi watched the battle from the Tribunal headquarters, while Levan Grosso recognized that his Book of the Playwright could not directly influence him.
• Chen Yi observed the fight and considered whether pollution could spread Heart Fire without it touching its target, prompting his True Meaning of Fire skill to flicker.
• Carlos evaded the Priest’s attacks, reached him, and stabbed him in the throat, but another spider transformed into the Priest and claimed his Deity had granted him infinite life.

The Fertility Priest and the spider mother overwhelmed the Judgment Office as the Faceless Man grew stronger and Carlos was targeted. Chen Yi held back while the royal palace and Containment Facility considered the crisis, but a mysterious wave of heat suddenly began burning the spider silk.

• The spider mother dodged the Judgment Office’s attacks, spread a mind-inducing web, and turned flames into explosive lava spiders.

• Chen Yi calmed Chuka with 200 Sweet Dream Coins and continued watching as the spider mother renewed its assault and the Judgment Office fell back.
• A wave of heat swept across the battlefield, setting the spider silk alight and causing pain to the sequence users and monsters.

Chen Yi used his Silver Flame to destroy the spider swarm and capture the spider mother body, then ended the Inquisition’s operation. He later learned the Fertility Priest had no book-related Contained Objects and continued investigating the Sweet Dream Coin as the Inquisition searched for the cult’s headquarters.

• Chen Yi unfolded his Flame Domain and burned the spiders, severed the spider mother body's legs, and captured it with Blood Sparrows.

• Chen Yi continued researching the Sweet Dream Coin while the Inquisition members regretted missing out on his sponsorship by slacking during the fight.

Chen Yi studied Sweet Dream Coins, used them to reduce the contamination affecting himself and Chuka, and decided to enlist players and pressure the Containment Facility while searching for the Book of the Dead. Carlos spread the news that Lord Luowen was attempting to break through the Corpse Incinerator sequence, and the rumor quickly reached the entire Tribunal.

• Carlos asked whether Chen Yi had broken through beyond the Corpse Incinerator sequence, and Chen Yi said he had not yet but was on his way.
• Chen Yi spent Sweet Dream Coins to recover Sanity, learned that Chuka still needed to recover 57 points, and used more coins to clear his own contamination.

Zhang San returned to the Fertility Church’s world and was arrested by the Inquisition after its headquarters was raided. Chen Yi released him and arranged to buy knowledge about later sequences for Sweet Dream Coins, leaving Zhang San with a powerful potential backer.

• Chen Yi killed the corrupted monsters, inspected Little Red, and secretly attached a Nano Eye to her clothes.

Meanwhile, Chen Yi brought more than two hundred high-ranking Sequence Users to the Containment Facility headquarters, where Levan Grosso greeted the Tribunal and Lord Luowen.

• Lilia Chase took the throne, learned that only 23,000 Sweet Dream Coins remained, and ordered Gilmer Constantine to strengthen the Knight Order with unlimited coin supplies.

Chen Yi offered the Containment Facility thousands of Sweet Dream Coins to borrow the Scripture of the Screenwriter and the Flesh and Blood Pen, but neither was the Book of the Dead he sought. He then offered 200,000 Sweet Dream Coins for a second matter concerning Babro, leaving the three men eager to hear his request.

• Chen Yi told Levan Grosso he was searching for the Book of the Dead and offered 5,000 Sweet Dream Coins to borrow the Scripture of the Screenwriter.

• Chen Yi began a second deal, and Babro briefly tried to stop him from giving away more money before Chen Yi offered 100,000 Sweet Dream Coins, with another 100,000 promised once the job was done.

Chen Yi and Levan Grosso’s meeting ended in an explosion and a public falling-out, which sparked a brawl between the Tribunal and the Containment Facility. Chen Yi then continued researching Contained Objects and gave Zhang San a potion formula, leaving him to raise 300,000 Sweet Dream Coins without lowering their price.

Zhang San sold Tribunal protection slots to God's Blessing Guild members, then handed Chen Yi 40 million Copper Coins and 500,000 Sweet Dream Coins in hopes of earning his support.

• Chen Yi led Zhang San to the White Mist Wasteland, where Fire's Finale burned away the mist and raised Flame Swords to guard them.
