Chapter Summaries

Yan Yongbo met Major Yuan Wuwei at Europa Base and learned that the eccentric researcher knew about his background and studied why extraterrestrial civilizations had not arrived. After seeing Tu Ge meet with Lieutenant General Joseph, Yuan Wuwei reflected on Earth’s changes as he looked through a viewing window.

• Major Yuan Wuwei crossed paths with Yan Yongbo and Lieutenant Colonel Bona, and Bona identified him as a gifted researcher at Europa Base.
• Yan Yongbo and Bona saw Lieutenant General Joseph in a tense meeting with Tu Ge, whom Yan Yongbo recognized as Wang Yu’s bodyguard and a powerful Extraordinary Species.
• Yuan Wuwei approached Tu Ge, asked about his former teacher Songchai, and requested a line to Earth for a private call.
• Yan Yongbo intervened, greeted Lieutenant General Joseph and Tu Ge, and escorted Yuan Wuwei toward the officers’ club.
• Yuan Wuwei told Yan Yongbo that he studied why extraterrestrial civilizations had not arrived and suggested he knew Yan Yongbo’s background.
• Yuan Wuwei looked at Earth through a viewing window and said its recent changes made the view more interesting than waiting at the edge of human civilization.

Yan Yongbo awoke from an exhausting nightmare and recognized how Ronan’s rise was fueling his resentment and fear. Meanwhile, Wen Huilan watched Long Qi enter North Shore Gear’s Underground Laboratory, relieved that the live stream’s focus had shifted while Ronan was away in Ha City.

• Yan Yongbo woke from a nightmare of endless battles, then saw a disturbing spider-like hallucination in the mirror.
• Yan Yongbo blamed his nightmare on watching Ronan’s streams and discussing them with others, while admitting that organized efforts were stirring resentment against Ronan.
• Yuan Wuwei summoned Yan Yongbo to help him understand the New Plane and mocked Yan Yongbo’s claim to be Ronan’s enemy; Yan Yongbo struck the mirror after the call ended.
• Wen Huilan told her bodyguard captain she was avoiding nightmares and learned that Ronan had gone to Ha City.
• Long Qi rode to Zhi Xing Institute, met Raven, and entered the elevator to North Shore Gear’s Underground Laboratory after confirming Ronan was away.

Long Qi tried to deflect viewers’ questions about the strange events by claiming Ronan was developing a highly realistic game, while filming the laboratory. He left with Raven to enter the Wilderness, and viewers learned that Ronan had appeared on Ha City Morning Broadcast.

• Long Qi faced viewers’ demands for an explanation of the Particle Cannon blast and his return from the sea, but decided not to guess at Ronan’s plans.
• Long Qi claimed that Ronan was making a rival to Wilderness Ten Days and presented the laboratory’s equipment as evidence of a game in development.
• Long Qi asked Raven to confirm his involvement with the cargo-ship game scenario, and she said the area was not open to non-professionals.
• Raven prepared to leave in combat gear, and Long Qi noticed her newfound composure and powerful presence.
• Long Qi and Raven rode toward the Wilderness, where Long Qi warned viewers to take its dangers seriously.
• Viewers reported that Ronan was appearing on Ha City Morning Broadcast.

Long Qi showed the Live Stream Room a Ha City report about the Ronan and His Friends Foundation’s aberration screening plan, sparking a heated argument about isolation policies. When viewers asked Raven where she stood, she urged them to live well and said they would always be able to live out an order.

• Long Qi pulled up a Ha City Morning Broadcast report about the Ronan and His Friends Foundation’s plans to screen for Phase Two and Phase Three Aberration Infection.
• Viewers argued over Ha City’s screening plans, aberration isolation, and the costs imposed on people inside and outside isolation zones.
• Zhong Man warned Zi Ran Mian Er that idols should avoid taking sides too early on divisive issues, then reconsidered whether she was forcing an idol template onto Raven.
• A highlighted Bullet Screen comment asked Raven what she thought about aberration isolation, and Long Qi prepared to defuse the question.
• Raven told the viewers to live well, saying that they would always be able to live out an order.

During a live broadcast, Long Qi challenged the history and consequences of East Asia’s Vagrant Return to City policies, arguing that the term “vagrant” obscured the earlier cooperation between cities and pioneers. His remarks stirred public scrutiny of Lake City, while Wen Huilan remained silent as her security chief warned that the backlash might be deliberate.

• Long Qi expanded Raven’s discussion of Aberration Isolation into a critique of the Vagrant Return to City movement and East Asia’s role in it.
• Long Qi described how the mainland’s pioneers lived around defensive lines and cooperated with cities before return-to-city policies disrupted those settlements.
• Long Qi told Raven that the order people built could be erased easily, and the livestream audience connected his comments to Lake City.
• Wen Huilan’s security chief reported Long Qi’s background and showed her rapidly spreading negative discussion about Lake City.
• The security chief suspected that the sudden surge of criticism was being orchestrated, while Wen Huilan remained silent.

Ronan investigated third-stage aberrations in Ha City and met Blood Demon, who warned that public opinion was pushing him toward a confrontation while explaining the Delta’s importance as a source of aberrant resources. Ronan asked about the estuary’s navigability, leaving the reason for his question unclear.

• A bearded infected man attacked a streetwalker in an alley, but Ronan knocked him unconscious and incapacitated the other members of the organized hunting group.
• Ronan examined the bearded man and streetwalker, both of whom had reached the third stage of aberration, while Blood Demon arrived to meet him in person.
• Blood Demon asked Ronan to submit the work he had promised for the Peak Conference, and Ronan agreed to send it soon.
• Blood Demon said public opinion about Lake City and Ha City’s media reports appeared to be provoking Ronan into fighting a BOSS.
• Blood Demon explained that Lake City, Huai City, and Jin City competed for resources in the Great Golden Triangle, where an extraordinary-level nest threatened nearby regions.
• Ronan asked Blood Demon whether ten-thousand-ton cargo ships could navigate the estuary.

Ronan planned to use the Thunder Pool Experiment Field and possible military operations in the Delta to gather data and develop a War Domain, while Blood Demon explained Ha City's food shortages and anarchic social order. As the Experiment Field headed toward the Delta, Ronan's Biochemical Reactor continued producing Golden Stem Cells, and his Advanced Formula's completion rate rose rapidly.

• Ronan planned to move the Thunder Pool Experiment Field toward the Delta and proposed coordinating with the military and President Ouyang on remote force projection and War Domain drills.
• Blood Demon warned that Aberrant Stage Three Infected in Ha City faced severe hunger, had attacked Planting Towers, and were contributing to paralyzed municipal management and constant disorder.
• Blood Demon explained that Ha City's residents relied on autonomous groups and gangs, while its population and mature industries served as resources for powerful interests.
• Ronan compared the people to renewable Culture Dishes, then privately focused on his Biochemical Reactor's production of Golden Stem Cells and the progress of his Advanced Formula.
• The Thunder Pool Experiment Field began traveling south toward the Delta's river mouth as Ronan's Advanced Formula completion percentage continued to climb.

Ronan discovered that the materials for his Biochemical Reactor’s advanced upgrade were accumulating rapidly, largely thanks to Magneto-Optical Mica and Earth’s aberrations. As he and Blood Demon discussed the risks of trying to control aberration, a conspicuous, coal-eyed man in a clerical robe approached them, and Blood Demon reacted with alarm.

• Ronan saw that his Advanced Stem Cell Base Material Formula was 49.4% complete and could gather enough materials for an upgrade soon.
• Ronan considered how aberrant life forms and Magneto-Optical Mica were supplying materials, while worrying that Li Wei’s formula might be far more advanced in the Deep Blue World.
• Blood Demon warned Ronan that people and media could turn any successful effort to control aberration into a dangerous model for others.
• Ronan questioned Blood Demon about his knowledge of Ha City’s unrest, then noticed a young white man in a black Father's Robe approaching through the crowd.
• Blood Demon recognized the approaching man and said, “We're finished!”

Ronan confronted Yabolun in a Space Fault and interpreted the dangerous figure’s bond with Ha City as a way to regulate his chaotic power. Yabolun responded to Ronan’s probing by invoking the Seven Seals, and the fault began to fracture around them.

• Yabolun warned Ronan to remain an observer and explained his view that the world and humanity were malformed and meant to correct one another.
• Ronan said he would observe Yabolun and Ha City’s millions of infected residents, proposing to study how the city changed under different influences.
• Ronan compared Yabolun’s self-regulation through Ha City to Lady Mora’s methods, prompting Blood Demon to regard Yabolun differently.
• Ronan asked whether Mitch’s contract with Yabolun was part of the bond between an Order Framework and a city, but Yabolun did not answer directly.
• Yabolun’s robe turned pitch-black as he quoted, “Who is worthy to open the scroll and break its seven seals?” and the Space Fault cracked amid thunderous war drums.
• Ronan struggled to identify the scene as the Revelation Seven Seals.

Ronan fought to adapt to Yabolun’s collapsing Space Fault and the destructive pressure of the Revelation Seven Seals while avoiding a direct encounter. As Yabolun intensified the attack, Ronan detected Death Witch’s distinctive aura within the despairing collective consciousness he had drawn in.

• Ronan analyzed how Yabolun’s Space Fault, Turbid Spiritual Streams, and pressure on his physical body were narrowing his defenses.
• Yabolun opened the distance and concealed himself while building strength, so Ronan spread Manipulation Threads through the Space Fault to track him and assess the Blood Demon as well.
• Ronan expanded and recalibrated his perception across Earth’s layers, adapting to the battlefield and avoiding another face-to-face encounter with Yabolun.
• Yabolun quoted scripture and intensified the Revelation Seven Seals, flooding the area with despairing cries and corrosive toxins.
• Ronan searched the chaos for a distinct trace and identified it as Death Witch’s aura.

Ronan discovered that several Extraordinary Species were secretly observing his confrontation with Yabolun, apparently to probe his limits. As Yabolun pressed his attack, Ronan broke free of the Space Fault and vanished from his perception after an enormous crimson creature intervened.

• Ronan used the Magneto-Optical Mica to detect the Death Witch, an unknown presence hidden in Ha City's warm ocean current, and the Moon Wheel watching from the sky.
• Ronan realized the observers were likely testing his abilities while Yabolun's Space Fault kept their confrontation locked in place.
• Yabolun advanced through the chaos eroding his body and used the Revelation Seven Seals to close the distance and attack Ronan.
• Ronan tore open Yabolun's Space Fault, then unleashed his Soul Power and built Space-Time Barriers to resist Yabolun's renewed assault.
• A giant crimson creature struck Yabolun and gave Ronan time to disappear from his sight and perception.

Yabolun fought to locate Ronan in a distorted Space-Time Fault, while their clash revealed a dangerous exchange of information between them. As Yabolun unleashed his strongest attack, Blood Demon tried to intervene, but a series of massive Blood Light Thunder Hammers suddenly descended.

• Yabolun tore through Rotten-Mouth Ape, then realized the creature’s Blood Flame had erased the destructive force of his attack and was gathering unstable energy in its head.
• Yabolun touched Rotten-Mouth Ape’s head and briefly exchanged information with Ronan, sensing the danger of their vastly different Soul Power.
• Nick reported through the communication channel that Ronan was still in Ha City, and Rotten-Mouth Ape’s remaining shell then burst apart in Blood Flame.
• Yabolun sensed Ronan’s presence, transformed into a Black Tide, and attacked him with the Horn of Great Destruction.
• Blood Demon transformed and tried to stop the fight, but he dodged as repeated Blood Light Thunder Hammers crashed down from above.

Ronan’s bombardment trapped Yabolun in a chaotic Space Fault until Blood Demon brokered a halt, leaving both fighters near their limits. As Yabolun began to recover, Ronan noticed an ominous change in the western sky over Ha City.

• Yabolun’s Space Fault twisted under Ronan’s Blood Light Thunder Hammers, disrupting Yabolun’s senses and trapping him in a chaotic field of Blood Flame.
• Blood Demon called for the battle to stop, and Ronan halted the barrage before the Space Fault collapsed completely.
• Ronan emerged from a fissure away from Yabolun, while his Exoskeleton frame disintegrated from the strain of the bombardment.
• Blood Demon placed himself between Ronan and Yabolun and tried to keep the fight from restarting as Yabolun withdrew and recalibrated his perception.
• Ronan considered how the attack had compromised the observers’ ability to perceive the battlefield and wondered how Mentor Li Wei was monitoring it.
• Ronan and Blood Demon noticed the western night sky had turned a dim, profound blue.

Blood Demon realized Li Wei had turned Ha City into an ambush and warned Ronan as the Deep Blue World invaded Earth Local Time-Space. Ronan remained trapped by the disruption to shifting and identified the invasion’s connection to the False God Materialized True Seed Advanced Formula.

• Blood Demon grabbed Yabolun and urged him to stop fighting, then warned Ronan that Li Wei’s Deep Blue World was arriving.
• Blood Demon deduced that other Extraordinary Species were reinforcing the ambush and asked Yabolun whether Mentor Li Wei had recovered from his injuries.
• A pale, moonlike eye appeared in the Deep Blue expanse, and Blood Demon and Yabolun sensed its scrutiny.
• Ronan assessed his weakened body and the risks of shifting through the collision between the planes, while his information network monitored the invasion.
• Ronan’s External Neuron connected the invasion’s strange vitality with earlier intelligence and identified the False God Materialized True Seed Advanced Formula (Ritual Version).

Ronan concluded that Li Wei had revealed the Deep Blue World because he still lacked a reliable way to counter magnetic light mica, so Ronan disrupted the attack by turning Apolon's own power against his order framework. The chapter ended with Ha City's residents falling silent and fixing their attention on Apolon.

• Ronan reasoned that Li Wei's greatest concern was magnetic light mica and that Li Wei had arranged to attack while Ronan was weakened.
• Ronan decided to disrupt Li Wei's plan by targeting Apolon instead of confronting the Deep Blue World directly.
• Ronan invoked the seven seals and unleashed magneto-light lightning fire through the mental ocean of Ha City.
• The space fault around Apolon disintegrated as its accumulated force transformed without releasing aftershocks.
• Ha City's residents fell silent and turned their gazes toward Apolon.

Ronan’s clash with Li Wei escalated as Deep Blue World and other vast forces pressed over Ha City, while Ronan’s countermeasure restrained Extraordinary Species across the planet. The chapter ended with Ronan asking Mitch to transfer control of Yabolun’s robe so he could clear the nearby battlefield and contain the remaining threats.

• Yabolun and the Blood Demon sensed a force suppressing Ha City’s residents, while Death Witch fled and Nick appeared as a grotesque mass of fish and rotting flesh in the strait.
• The Blood Demon saw the Moon Wheel and the demon eye expanding their influence across the sky as rain-like interference swept through the Abyss Zone and Mental Ocean.
• Wan Liuhua, the Covenant Lord, Death Witch, and Martial Emperor joined the Blood Demon’s call and discussed Ronan, Li Wei, and the impending emergency Peak Conference.
• Ronan joined the call and asked Mitch to transfer the contract authorization for Yabolun’s robe, then asked the Martial Emperor to pressure the True God and the Pope.
• Ronan revealed that he had restrained special populations across Earth and had first checked that the Moon Orbital Base was outside Deep Blue World’s interference zone.

Ronan watched the Amaterasu Order and Deep Blue World’s long-planned connection unfold while keeping Earth’s Extraordinary Species from interfering. At the Peak Conference, Mou Zhengye announced that travel between Deep Blue World and Earth would begin opening in stages, just as a tremor shook participants across the Real World and reached Lieutenant General Joseph on the Moon.

• Ronan revealed that he had restrained Magneto-Optical Mica’s control over Ha City and had redirected its more dangerous effects toward Nick, stitching him into a school of fish.
• Ronan realized that the Amaterasu Order’s Fusang Divine Tree Great Divine Treasure had spent years binding itself to Deep Blue World and extending its reach through distorted Local Time-Space.
• Blood Demon entered the Peak Conference and spoke with Lieutenant General Joseph, who attended from the Moon after the aftermath of the confrontation had reached it.
• Abner opened the meeting, and Mou Zhengye read Li Wei’s statement announcing the orderly, unconditional opening of travel channels between Deep Blue World and Earth.
• A tremor spread through the Real World and was felt by conference participants across Earth; Joseph sighed after three seconds.

Yuan Wuwei reported a powerful signal wave and a change in Earth’s space-time structure, prompting Lieutenant General Joseph and Tu Ge to discuss the world’s transformation and the need to adapt. Meanwhile, Ronan studied the ripples created as Deep Blue World collided with Earth Local Time-Space, while Yabolun tested the strict New Framework surrounding him.

• Yuan Wuwei arrived with Yan Yongbo and told Lieutenant General Joseph that a powerful signal wave from Earth had passed through, urging an immediate return.
• Yuan Wuwei described the signal as a change in space-time structure, and Tu Ge asked whether its rhythm had sped up or slowed down.
• Tu Ge told Lieutenant General Joseph that the world was changing and that he had little time to adapt, while Yuan Wuwei inferred that Mentor Li Wei was also trying to understand the changed world.
• Yan Yongbo, overwhelmed by the latest information and his own distress, decided he lacked the courage to return to Earth.
• Ronan stood above Ha City with Blood Demon and Yabolun, having replaced Ha City's Order Framework with a stricter New Framework that Yabolun tried to resist.
• Ronan studied Magneto-Optical Mica and the space-time ripples caused by Deep Blue World colliding with Earth Local Time-Space, considering whether Ha City's changes could inspire a New Scenarios.

Ronan traced the space-time deviation to a vast, hidden plane within the Mist Labyrinth and nearly became Lost while following its signal across the Extreme Domain. After the Blood Demon told him about the Peak Conference and Nick’s suspected business ties, Ronan connected Nick to Lake City and learned of ventures involving Tide Surge in the Near Sea Area.

• Ronan determined that Cloud Top World explained only a small part of the space-time deviation and suspected a much larger plane in the Mist Labyrinth was affecting Earth Local Time-Space and the Deep Blue World.
• Ronan followed transformed information through the Extreme Domain toward a theoretical range spanning a star system, overreached, and nearly became Lost before noticing his shoulder pain.
• The Blood Demon told Ronan that he had shown Nick’s photo at the Peak Conference and promoted the nickname “Luo Five Kills” to counter Li Wei’s momentum.
• The Blood Demon warned Ronan that Nick might seek revenge and described Nick’s far-reaching sea-land trade network and costly lifestyle.
• Ronan suspected Nick’s network was connected to smuggling in Lake City, and the Blood Demon mentioned its move into guiding Tide Surge to alter the Near Sea Area’s ecology.

Ronan dealt with the dangerous marine life left behind by Nick and heard Covenant Lord’s warning that Li Wei’s plans might reach beyond Earth and the Deep Blue World. The chapter ended with Ronan preparing to reveal something of his own and hoping the night would give way to dawn.

• Ronan learned that Nick had escaped into the Deep Blue World after using a crude method to restore his body, leaving poisonous flesh behind in the sea.
• Ronan used Magnetic Light and Lightning Fire to gather the affected marine creatures into a pulsing mass, then teleported it to the ball.
• Blood Demon relayed Covenant Lord’s warning that Li Wei might be pursuing a grand vision shaped by knowledge beyond Earth and the Deep Blue World.
• Blood Demon urged Ronan to focus on his grounded plan for ten billion people, while Covenant Lord treated Earth’s population as the essential foundation.
• Ronan said it was time to bring something out and hoped everyone would open their eyes to dawn.
