Chapter Summaries

Ronan and the Martial Emperor discussed why unauthorized Mental Side practitioners were considered taboo as the Sky Abyss Spirit Network spread toward their world. Ronan showed her a photograph to explain how he had learned the knowledge, and she identified the structure as Overrun Divine Script.

• The Martial Emperor told Ronan that unauthorized Mental Side practitioners would be classified as servants of the Evil Monarch Divine Abomination when the Sky Abyss Spirit Network reached their world.
• Ronan questioned why the Martial Emperor remained on the Mental Side, but she pressed him to explain how he had learned the forbidden knowledge.
• Ronan reconsidered his trust in the Martial Emperor and decided to reveal only a measured clue about his knowledge.
• Ronan displayed a photograph of Luo Yuandao and Luo Zhongheng and explained how its structure had helped him decipher the secret script for “I.”
• The Martial Emperor identified the script-like structure as Overrun Divine Script.

Ronan learned that the character “I” was a form of Divine Script tied to the Sky Abyss Empire and its Zhan Clan, and that studying such script could be dangerous. He pressed the Martial Emperor about her and Li Wei’s origins and why they had come to Earth, but she only hinted that Earth had aspects worth discussing.

• The Martial Emperor identified the character Ronan had seen as a form of Divine Script associated with Lord of Zhanhe and the Zhan Clan’s crest.
• The Martial Emperor explained that Divine Script was dangerous to study, described Truth Communion courses derived from it, and warned that Ronan’s ability to understand it could bring fatal disaster in the current era.
• The Martial Emperor described the Star Alliance, the Calamity Era, and the threats posed by Extraterritorial Evil Seeds and Evil Monarch Divine Abominations.
• Ronan asked whether Li Wei was one of those threats and whether the Martial Emperor’s Mental Side power was proper or taboo.
• Ronan asked why the Martial Emperor and other advanced-civilization figures had come to Earth, and the Martial Emperor said Earth had aspects worth discussing despite being an unknown corner of the Central Star Region.

The Martial Emperor explained that Earth and the Central Star Region were linked by a rare Window Period, but Earth’s signals had been concealed by an unknown force. She urged Ronan to investigate the shielding and avoid burdening his Grandfather for now.

• Ronan asked how far Earth was from the Central Star Region, and the Martial Emperor explained that a Window Period mattered more than distance and required a Star Gate to connect two regions.
• The Martial Emperor said Earth and a region within the Central Star Region’s sphere of influence were in a Window Period, and that such signals were normally detected by extensive monitoring networks.
• She reasoned that Earth’s location lacked nearby monitoring and that Earth itself was shielded from transmitting signals, which had caused Li Wei to lose his way back and kept interstellar visitors away.
• The Martial Emperor hinted that Ronan’s taboo Mental Side abilities might help him understand the shielding, then revealed that an accident had left her asleep and recovering in the region for a long time.
• The Martial Emperor told Ronan that he should stop adding burdens to his Grandfather for the time being.

Ronan learned from the Martial Emperor that his grandfather, Luo Yuandao, served as the sole Fulcrum of an abnormal Divine Cloak concealing Earth Local Time-Space. The chapter left Ronan considering who had communicated with his grandfather and how that Divine Cloak connected to the Sun Wheel Absolute Prison.

• Nurse Hong checked on Luo Yuandao, who was awake on the balcony handling wooden blocks and muttering about the Divine Kingdom and Divine Cloak.
• Ronan watched his grandfather from aboard the freighter and recalled the evidence linking Luo Yuandao to the Fog Maze and Sun Wheel Absolute Prison.
• The Martial Emperor explained that Luo Yuandao was the sole Fulcrum of a special Divine Cloak that hid Earth Local Time-Space and blocked information from reaching outsiders.
• The Martial Emperor speculated that the Divine Cloak’s original owner had shaped Luo Yuandao’s behavior and that his grandfather might have received a Divine Revelation.
• Ronan questioned who had communicated with Luo Yuandao and whether that presence was benevolent or hostile, then traced the Sun Wheel Absolute Prison through the Fog Maze and his Mental Layer.

Ronan questioned the Martial Emperor about the mysterious object, the Sky Abyss Spirit Network, and the coming Window Period, while weighing the danger his plans posed to Grandfather and the Cloak. The Martial Emperor urged him to reconsider his actions but said his inherited way of thinking was central to her investment in him.

• The Martial Emperor told Ronan that Earth Local Time-Space was already a High-Energy Environment and suggested the mysterious object beyond the fragments was responsible for it.
• The Martial Emperor warned Ronan to reduce the impact on the Cloak's vulnerable node or find another way to sever Grandfather's connection, and explained that she wanted to avoid Gods' Cape forcing her people to leave their current environment.
• Ronan asked what Li Wei knew and why he had not broken through; the Martial Emperor said he was assessing his own Window Period and would eventually emerge.
• Ronan realized that the coming Window Period could bring a reckoning with the Sky Abyss Spirit Network and asked the Martial Emperor for advice on resisting Li Wei.
• The Martial Emperor admitted that Bai Xinyan's situation was a small test, then told Ronan his thinking reflected three generations and that she did not intend to change it.

Ronan reflected on the Martial Emperor’s account of the Divine Cloak and its connection to his grandfather, Luo Yuandao, then tried to reach him across a psychic distance. Luo Yuandao murmured the Sixteen-Word Formula before falling asleep, while Ronan sensed a rushing flutter like countless curtains moving in the wind.

• Ronan accepted the Martial Emperor’s description of him as a vessel shaped by his family’s inheritance and research.
• Ronan considered the evidence linking Luo Yuandao, the Divine Cloak, the Extreme Domain Light, and several projects and objects called “Cloak.”
• Ronan projected his soul beside Luo Yuandao and wondered whether his grandfather and parents had tried to perceive the presence beyond the cloak.
• Ronan told Luo Yuandao that he accepted the Martial Emperor’s judgment and asked why their family could not be one with no differences.
• Luo Yuandao repeated “Me” and murmured Format Theory’s Sixteen-Word Formula before falling asleep.
• Ronan remained still as he heard a rushing flutter, like countless curtains billowing in the wind.

Ronan questioned the Martial Emperor about the Divine Cloak and Abyssal Spirit Net, then used his grandfather’s formula and the Grand Coordinate System to examine the layered structure of his mental perception. He decided to broaden the meaning of “me” to include his family, as he began investigating whether the structure was the Divine Cloak, the Abyssal Spirit Net, or both.

• The Martial Emperor explained that the Abyssal Spirit Net consisted of Spacetime, Self, and Convergence lines tied into knots, while the Divine Cloak attached to and adorned Ancient God Knots.
• Ronan opened Luo Yuandao’s observation notebook and recited the Sixteen-Word Formula of My Heart as a Prison, focusing on the repeated idea of “me.”
• Ronan’s perception returned to Developer Mode, revealing layered curtains and knots that included the Martial Emperor’s clear, sophisticated structure.
• Ronan considered the Grand Coordinate System the best tool for investigating the curtains because its principles corresponded to their structure.
• Ronan chose to broaden the meaning of “me” to include his grandfather and parents, deciding that “I” could be “we.”

Ronan reshaped the meaning of “I” around the intertwined histories of three generations and formed the Grand Coordinate System, allowing him to perceive the Fulcrum and the Curtain knots of the Fog Maze. He tried to intervene in Grandfather’s burden, but the Paged Notebook began reacting violently.

• Ronan concluded that his “I” was inseparable from the three generations of his family and their inherited Format Theory.
• The secret glyph for “I” collapsed from an abstract concept into reality, projecting the three lines of the Grand Coordinate System.
• Ronan perceived the Fulcrum linked to Luo Yuandao and traced its position within the dense Curtain cage of the Fog Maze.
• Ronan recognized the pressure Grandfather endured in the Core Radiation Zone and wondered whether he could share or replace his burden.
• Ronan focused on Grandfather at Xia City Sanatorium and tried to intervene through the Curtains.
• Ronan felt heat in his hand as the Paged Notebook’s pages fluttered wildly with chaotic, violent emotion.

Ronan investigated the Radiation Zone’s fluctuations, studied the connections between the Fog Maze and Deep Blue World, and asked the Martial Emperor about the Abyssal Spirit Net and the Inner Universe. The noise finally subsided, and the Martial Emperor reminded him that he had asked her for advice, leaving their conversation poised to continue.

• Ronan put Grandfather’s notebook away, but the Radiation Zone’s noise grew more agitated while Luo Yuandao slept safely.
• Ronan loaded the Abyssal Spirit Net auxiliary system in the Inner Universe Simulator and used Developer Mode to examine the spacetime structures linking the Fog Maze and Deep Blue World.
• Ronan noticed his call with the Martial Emperor was still connected and asked her to compare the Abyssal Spirit Net with the Inner Universe.
• The Martial Emperor described the Abyssal Spirit Net as open and the Inner Universe as an internally focused system, while Ronan considered how an Inner Universe could affect the True Universe.
• The Radiation Zone’s noise died down, and the Martial Emperor brought up Ronan’s earlier request for advice.

Ronan learned that the Fog Maze might be a specimen of the Inner Universe resisting the Divine Cloak, then endured repeated waves of interference while shielding Grandfather. Deciding to investigate the Fog Maze rather than passively suffer the noise, he brought a Lady onto the freighter’s foredeck and was greeted as “Your Excellency.”

• The Martial Emperor advised Ronan to keep studying the Inner Universe and suggested that the Fog Maze might model resistance to the Divine Cloak in an Abyssal Spirit Net environment.
• Ronan explored the Inner Universe Simulator’s new support system, but renewed interference from the Fog Maze caused it to fail while its computing capacity was damaged.
• Ronan endured six waves of interference and the start of a seventh, shielding Grandfather as the noise impaired his abilities and worsened his exhaustion.
• After observing Nurse Hong find Grandfather asleep in a reclining chair, Ronan decided to investigate the Fog Maze proactively.
• Ronan distorted Spacetime around the freighter and brought a Lady in a nightgown onto its foredeck; she bowed and greeted him as “Your Excellency.”

Ronan prepared a localized space-time structure aboard the cargo ship while Snake Tongue watched the stitched monsters gather. He sorted the pages of the Luo Yuandao Experiment Notebook and triggered a stronger reaction by removing its title page, leaving Snake Tongue and the Hunters in pain and alarmed.

• Ronan told Snake Tongue he would need her help with work she had done in Battlefield Time-Space, while he reinforced a structure aboard the ship.
• Stitched monsters returned to the cargo ship, and Snake Tongue realized Ronan was likely preparing to hunt active Stars in the Mist Labyrinth.
• Ronan opened two similar notebooks, and Snake Tongue helped him remove their binder rings as he sorted and selected pages between them.
• Ronan rearranged the selected pages, traced their psychic pressure, and closed the thinner notebook, causing its accumulated force to burst outward with a hiss.
• Ronan removed the notebook's title page, and Snake Tongue felt pain throughout her body as the Hunters visibly stirred.

Ronan and Snake Tongue discovered that an alien monster had entered Ronan’s Mental Layer through the notebook, where the chaotic balance drove it to flee. The burning notebook then released a devastating attack across the ship and surrounding area, while the monster’s Dark Seclusion lines completed their transfer and shouted at Zhan He.

• Snake Tongue used the Karmic Poison Demon Eye and saw that the alien flames had spread onto Ronan, revealing the monster’s attempt to enter him.
• Ronan realized the monster had used the notebook as a passage into his Mental Layer, where the chaotic conflict between the red light, chains, and destructive force threatened to destroy it.
• The monster fled through the passage toward the material world after sensing the danger of remaining in Ronan’s Mental Layer.
• The notebook crossed a threshold and burst into blue-gray flames, forcing Ronan to pull away as it fired needle-like rays in every direction.
• The rays caused nearby Aberrant Species and some Hunters to swell and explode, with the effects reaching dozens of kilometers away.
• Dark Seclusion lines completed their transfer and reorganization around Ronan, then shouted, “Zhan He, you idiot!”

Ronan recognized that the intruder was building a vast domain from bloodshed, fear, and distorted space-time while it underwent a transformation. As the domain spread and armed forces attacked his cargo ship, Ronan prepared Snake Tongue to act and the battlefield escalated.

• Ronan realized the intruder had infected flesh-and-blood fragments across a wide area and detonated them in a spreading chain reaction.
• The explosions and the terror of nearby life formed a vast domain that distorted perception and began transforming an illusion into reality.
• Ronan explained the domain to Snake Tongue and sensed that the intruder’s unstable transformation was drawing attention from forces nearby.
• The domain turned living creatures into weapons and structures as a high-energy beam from the jungle struck the cargo ship’s space-time defenses.
• Attackers along both riverbanks opened fire, the ship’s Stitching Monsters burst apart, and Ronan told Snake Tongue to prepare to act.
• Heavy clouds darkened the sky as a third barrage arrived and a tide of Aberrant Species charged toward the river’s center.

Snake Tongue used her Karmic Poison Demon Eye to strike the powerful demon across the river, but its counterattack left her at the brink of death. Ronan carried her perception into the Abyss Zone, where she witnessed the demon’s Blood Flame domain clash with the Blood Soul Temple before he pulled her away.

• As birds and aberrant species attacked the cargo ship, Snake Tongue leaped toward the North Shore and used her Pupil Technique to pierce the demon’s dark lines.
• The demon noticed Snake Tongue and retaliated with blazing power, but Ronan swept her away as its attack reached her.
• Ronan’s Flesh Bombs exploded among the aberrant species, and the demon’s white-bone structures ignited into a fire prison across the North Shore.
• Guided by Ronan, Snake Tongue perceived the Blood Flame funnel drawing energy from the Abyss Zone and recognized the struggling Blood Soul Temple Configuration within it.
• Dark Heavy Chains pulled the Blood Soul Temple away as it and the bloodstained funnel separated, after which Ronan drew Snake Tongue’s mind back into silence.

Ronan used Snake Tongue’s perception and the Karmic Poison Demon Eye to target a powerful Demon’s independent domain, forcing her to endure the backlash as he attempted to disrupt it. On the North Shore, the Demon’s bone-and-stone Fortress collapsed just as it began to reshape the battlefield.

• Snake Tongue perceived the Extreme Domain through Ronan and detected a multitude of discordant interference sources in the Mist Labyrinth.
• Ronan forced Snake Tongue to endure the Karmic Poison Demon Eye’s chaos while she sensed the Demon’s structural projection and learned how its independent domain worked.
• Ronan used Snake Tongue as a proxy to lock onto the Demon’s projection and intensify the eye’s poison, leaving her unconscious.
• On the North Shore, the Demon’s bone Fortresses advanced and combined into a towering stronghold while a giant Stitching Monster Octopus attacked them.
• The Other Side began to call out “Zhan He,” but its roar stopped as the newly built Fortress split apart and collapsed.

Ronan inspected the collapsed Fortress and realized that the notebook records could help him guide interference sources, but the Demon’s dying soul was leaking Evil Poison into the surrounding void. He used the cargo ship’s Time-Space Bubble structure to cover the ruins, leaving the poison’s containment unresolved.

• Ronan recovered the Paged Notebook and found that many of Luo Yuandao’s recorded traces had faded, but one pattern had helped him trigger the Demon Descent and might be repeatable.
• Ronan entered the collapsed Fortress and found Snake Tongue unconscious near the remains of the Demon’s domain.
• Ronan observed the Demon’s struggling Interference Pattern and noticed that its Evil Poison was seeping into the void, unsettling the Magneto-Optical Mica and threatening the Abyss Zone and Extreme Domain.
• Ronan concluded that he had to stop the Evil Poison from spreading and used the cargo ship as a fulcrum to extend its Time-Space Bubble over the Fortress ruins.

Yuan Wuwei joined Mountain Lord and Tu Ge to watch Ronan’s destruction of the Great River riverbank and recognized that he was using a Time-Space Bubble. As the bubble’s Backdrop warped and the satellite feed revealed a battle inside, a demonic figure was shattered by torrents of light, only to reappear in fragments and be struck down again.

• Yuan Wuwei arrived at the Camp Tent and examined satellite imagery of the devastated Riverside Flatland near the Great River.
• He noticed intersecting arcs of light extending from the cargo ship and identified them as signs of Ronan creating a Time-Space Bubble.
• Mountain Lord and Tu Ge discussed the Abyss Zone’s Interference Vortex remaining in Imbalance and wondered who could report on its condition.
• A gray-white Backdrop spread from the riverbank and obscured the ruins, then warped to reveal a demonic silhouette struggling inside the depression.
• A torrent of light shattered the demonic silhouette, which reappeared in fragments before another burst of light struck it down again.

Yuan Wuwei watched the repeated bombardment of the demonic shadow while Mountain Lord recruited Cat’s Eye and others to use a Blood Intent Ring Fortress. The group connected to the Abyss Zone and received a call from a Fortress flagship, leaving Mountain Lord distracted by the mysteries of the changing world.

• Yuan Wuwei sensed that the bell tolls and tremors came from the Great Golden Triangle as the bombardment continued cycling through the satellite footage.
• Tu Ge invited Yuan Wuwei to accompany him to the cargo ship, but Mountain Lord summoned Cat’s Eye after speaking with Mora.
• Yuan Wuwei found three former Blood Intent Ring Fortress participants and two bracelets, then brought Cat’s Eye to Mountain Lord’s tent.
• Cat’s Eye helped Mountain Lord, Tu Ge, Yuan Wuwei, and others configure their Blood Intent Rings and connect to the Abyss Zone.
• A signal from a Fortress flagship asked to connect, and Mountain Lord realized he had nearly forgotten why he had started the experiment.

Mountain Lord entered the Blood Intent Ring Fortress and used its observation mode to investigate the collapsing vortex in the Abyss Zone. He and the watching Mental Side Extraordinary Species witnessed the Blood Soul Temple Configuration plunge into the vortex, followed by a surge of cries for blood and fire.

• Mountain Lord connected to the Blood Intent Ring Fortress and learned that his access was limited to its Observation Deck mode.
• Mountain Lord adjusted to perceiving the Abyss Zone and spotted Constance, Death Witch, Ghost Eye, Li Bozhou, and Master Demu watching the vortex.
• A rule-based Solidified Configuration emerged near the collapsing vortex, and the observers identified it as belonging to the Blood Soul Temple and Blood Flame Order.
• Mora joined Mountain Lord in the Fortress and remarked that she had stayed despite the restrictive authority settings.
• The Blood Soul Temple Configuration plunged into the vortex, which swallowed it as a spirit wave proclaimed, “Blood, blood, blood! Fire, fire, fire!”

Ronan tried to contain the former powerhouse’s remains and Evil Poison while the Blood Soul Temple began rebuilding in the ruins. Madam Harold pushed the Blood Flame Order into the conflict despite Ronan’s wish to keep it out, and the Other Side returned to confront him.

• The Blood Soul Temple’s bloody radiance altered the Abyss Zone, prompting Mountain Lord and Mora to discuss the unfamiliar effects and the possibilities they revealed.
• Mountain Lord watched satellite imagery as Ronan’s repeated hammering of the demonic shadow became less frequent and wondered whether Ronan had nearly gained control.
• Ronan reinforced the core region with ten Time-Space Bubbles after the Anti-Splash Layer collapsed, then watched the Blood Soul Temple construct a foundation from stone and residual energy.
• Madam Harold advanced the Blood Soul Temple into the crisis and submitted an application to Ronan, risking the order’s origin despite the dangers of Evil Poison.
• Ronan complained that Madam Harold was trouble, then greeted the returning Other Side, who reproached him for nearly splashing her with blood.
