Chapter Summary

Key Plot Points

• Half a month after the Star Core Dimension cultivators departed with the dimensional fragments, a strange “cognitive distortion” sweeps the Myriad Domains. Cultivators begin forgetting how to recognize and use their own origin powers.
• Su Muxue discovers the cause: the fragments carried “silent origin” from the edge of the universe, manifesting as pale gray “silent mist” that erases cultivators’ cognitive memories of origin.
