Hao Ren waited on Earth as Yggdrasil and the Dream Plane’s refugees crossed into the world amid catastrophic spatial turbulence. Vivian Ancestor arrived separately as a red meteor, and Hao Ren greeted her at the crater where she landed.

• Hao Ren rose from his long vigil, cleaned himself with Raven 12345’s divine power, and walked toward the rift opening in the sky.
• Yggdrasil crossed into Earth’s sky and began unloading ships, lands, and other refugee fragments from the Dream Plane.
• The spatial rift’s radiation and storms devastated the surrounding wildlife as the refugees descended.
• Hao Ren noticed a separate distortion in the sky and watched a red meteor fall several hundred meters ahead of him.
• Vivian Ancestor climbed out of the crater, met Hao Ren’s eyes, and heard him say, “Long time no see.”

Hao Ren reached the final point of his journey through Vivian Ancestor’s memories and saw the battlefield in her deepest Consciousness Space, where Vivian had defeated the source of the Evil Spirits. The red crystal pillar at the battlefield’s center revealed an unfamiliar star map, leaving the nature of the culprit unresolved.

• Hao Ren and Vivian watched the Mythical Era begin as Yggdrasil’s passengers were scattered across Earth and the first day’s destruction unfolded.
• Vivian told Hao Ren that he had reached the end of his journey and led him into the deepest part of her Consciousness Space.
• Hao Ren saw a blood-soaked battlefield filled with bizarre remains and motionless Evil Spirit versions of Vivian, which she said were under her control.
• Vivian pointed out a dark-red crystal pillar as the root behind her fragmentation and the Evil Spirits, though she said she did not know its true nature.
• Vivian touched the crystal pillar, which projected an unfamiliar star map before Hao Ren.

Hao Ren and Vivian discovered that a crystal embedded in Vivian’s soul contained an incomplete star chart and likely served as a Creation Goddess–made operating system contaminated by the Lord of Madness. They left with a possible way to continue studying it: Vivian suspected her red moon was another projection of the crystal.

• Hao Ren examined the star chart projected by the crystal and found missing reference systems and transformation guidance data.
• Vivian and Hao Ren concluded that the crystal was probably a dormant program left in her soul by the Creation Goddess and that the Lord of Madness’s contamination had been destroyed.
• Hao Ren worried they would be unable to study the crystal after leaving the sandbox world, while Vivian proposed that her red moon was connected to it.
• Hao Ren decided to memorize the star chart before they left so they would at least retain its clues.

Hao Ren and Vivian escaped the psychic world after sharing the memories of Vivian’s ten thousand years and agreeing to spend the future together. They returned through the Gate of Spacetime to find their friends waiting with games and a hot pot.

• Hao Ren and Vivian opened the old house’s door, causing the battlefield and its Evil Spirits to dissolve as they entered the spacetime tunnel.
• Vivian told Hao Ren that he had become part of all her memories and thanked him for accompanying her through ten thousand years; she asked him to stay with her for many more.
• Hao Ren and Vivian joked together, then acknowledged that the Dream Plane crisis and the threat of the Lord of Madness remained unresolved.
• Hao Ren and Vivian traveled through scenes of history and emerged at Raven 12345’s Gate of Spacetime.
• Hao Ren saw the Nangong Family, Raven 12345, Izax, Bai Huo, Heiserana, Lily, Hesperis, Roll the Cat, and the others waiting with games and a hot pot.

Hao Ren and Vivian returned to a joyful welcome from their friends and revealed that they were together. Raven 10086 arrived to speak with Raven 12345 and announced that the high-ranking true god corresponding to the Creation Goddess had been found.

• Hao Ren and Vivian reunited with their friends, who celebrated their return after their long journey.
• Hao Ren asked where Lorisa was, and Little Elizabeth explained that the Goddess had sent her back because she could only stay in the Outer World for a few days.
• Lily noticed the changed atmosphere between Hao Ren and Vivian, and Hao Ren admitted that they were together.
• Heiserana reacted with disbelief that Hao Ren and Vivian had not been together before, while the other friends quickly accepted their relationship.
• Raven 10086 arrived and told Raven 12345 that she had lost her advanced rating and performance bonus, then revealed that they had found the high-ranking true god corresponding to the Creation Goddess.

After returning from the past, Hao Ren and Vivian reunited with their companions, and Raven 12345 revealed the Creation Goddess’s origin. The chapter left off with Raven explaining that the goddess had emerged from a drop of blood that Icedis lost while injured in an ancient battle against the Abyss.

• Hao Ren and Vivian returned safely, and Lily proposed celebrating with a huge feast as everyone welcomed them back.
• Roll Cat sniffed Hao Ren in disbelief, and Nangong Sanba explained that she had thought he was dead and had even planned to divide up his luggage.
• Raven 12345 told Hao Ren that the higher-ups had identified the divine figure connected to the Creation Goddess: Dark Valkyrie Icedis.
• Raven explained that Icedis was a Star Domain deity who joined the Xiling Pantheon and became a goddess of holy light despite belonging to the Dark Divine Race.
• Raven revealed that Icedis had visited the Dream Plane nearly a hundred million years ago during an expedition against the Abyss and had shed a drop of blood while injured.
• Raven said Icedis lost contact with that drop of blood, which eventually became the Creation Goddess.

Raven 12345 revealed that the Creation Goddess was born from Mistress Icedis’s blood and was still alive, sleeping deep within the Dream Plane. She gave Hao Ren study materials and a powerful imitation of Mistress Icedis’s Bible to help him find and revive the Creation Goddess, leaving him with a plan to win her trust and teach her to control her power.

• Raven 12345 said the Creation Goddess was definitely alive, sleeping in the Dream Plane and likely to awaken if the right opportunity arose.
• Raven 12345 explained that the rescue plan needed to account for the Creation Goddess’s Star Domain origins and gave Hao Ren textbooks meant to help her learn divine power control.
• Hao Ren and his companions reacted with disbelief when Raven 12345 described making the Creation Goddess study so she could grow strong enough to fight the Lord of Madness.
• Raven 12345 gave Hao Ren an imitation of Mistress Icedis’s Bible, explaining that its power would make the Creation Goddess more inclined to trust him.

Hao Ren received a counterfeit divine artifact and learned that Vivian had recovered her lost power and memories after the awakening. Raven 12345 connected an operating system and incomplete star map in Vivian’s soul to her role as the Guide, but the mission remained uncertain as they turned their attention to restoring Earth.

• Raven 12345 gave Hao Ren a Bible with metal corners and a chain, explaining that it could be swung like a meteor hammer and contained a novel by Dark Valkyrie.
• Raven 12345 told Vivian that her lost powers and memories had returned purified, though she would need time to absorb them and might experience mild confusion.
• Hao Ren reported finding an operating system and an incomplete star map within Vivian’s soul.
• Raven 12345 suggested the system was tied to Vivian’s Guide mission and that the star map might direct her to refugees, a destination, or ancient weapons.
• Raven 12345 postponed further speculation and said their most urgent task was getting Earth back on track.

Raven 12345 restored Earth and the moon to their orbits, then sent the travelers home with Earth’s timeline corrected. Hao Ren returned to his old house and began settling back into familiar life, only to discover that the weakling chick was shooting at Izax’s bald head.

• Raven 12345 shattered the crystal cube and returned Earth and the moon to their original orbits.
• Raven 12345 kicked Earth and the moon into motion, then sent the Spacetime Travelers back to their homes while restoring Earth’s historical trajectory.
• Hao Ren returned to the old house in the South Suburbs and struggled with the feeling that he had been away for ten thousand years.
• Vivian opened the door and welcomed everyone inside, where Lily, Nangong May, and Roll-cat quickly made themselves at home.
• Hao Ren relaxed on the sofa with Doudou beside him, then noticed the weakling chick shooting at Izax and exclaimed that an Evil Spirit was there too.

Hao Ren realized the Little Weakling was the last unreclaimed Evil Spirit and asked Raven 12345 why Vivian could not reclaim her. Raven explained that the Little Weakling had developed independent emotions and was no longer a pure Evil Spirit, but said her power and memories might return in time.

• Hao Ren caught the Little Weakling and brought her to Vivian after the household realized she was an unreclaimed Evil Spirit.
• Vivian suggested consulting Raven 12345 because the Little Weakling had not appeared with the other Evil Spirits in the distorted space-time.
• Hao Ren contacted Raven 12345, who explained that the Little Weakling's weakness and time in the divine realm had helped her develop real emotions.
• Raven 12345 said the Little Weakling could not be reclaimed because she was no longer a pure Evil Spirit, and advised Hao Ren to wait for her power and memories to return.

Hao Ren and Vivian settled back into domestic life and noticed that Little Weak Chicken had begun showing small signs of independent thought. Vivian planned to summon the Red Moon in the coming days, confident that her restored power would let her control it.

• Raven 12345 advised Hao Ren and Vivian to let Little Weak Chicken continue developing and suggested Vivian might help recover her lost memories.
• Hao Ren and Vivian cooked together while observing Little Weak Chicken cautiously explore the kitchen and attempt to set a fallen pepper jar upright.
• Doudou sprayed Little Weak Chicken, and the two tiny creatures fought until Hao Ren separated them.
• Vivian told Hao Ren she planned to summon the Red Moon soon to investigate its connection to the crystal in the Consciousness Space, and Hao Ren agreed to arrange a test site on Erem.
• At dinner, Little Weak Chicken tried a piece of pork, spat it out, and rolled around shrieking.

Hao Ren visited New Erem Star and saw how the Erem Elves had rebuilt their city and begun cooperating with the Demon Empire. He prepared to oversee Vivian’s Red Moon summoning experiment, scheduled for the following evening in City of Stars.

• Hao Ren arrived at Erem Royal City and saw the elves’ new homes, factories, and expanding settlements.
• Hilda told Hao Ren about new mining sites, the revival of the Golden Flame Flower, and trade with the Demon Empire.
• Hao Ren teased Izax about the Demon Empire’s name, and Izax decided to take Elizabeth back to Demon King's City for a visit.
• Hilda confirmed that patrol ships would stay in Starport and that the public had been notified about the experiment.
• Hao Ren repeatedly checked with Vivian that the Red Moon could be controlled, and the summoning was scheduled for the next evening atop the magic tower.

Hao Ren and Vivian prepared to summon the Red Moon using the Erem Elves’ magic tower and extensive safety systems. The Red Moon appeared in space at the expected location, leaving Hao Ren observing its arrival from the Giant Turtle Rock Platform.

• Hao Ren chose the Erem Elves’ Royal Mage Tower as a stable site for Vivian’s summoning test, and Hilda assured him that its protections would reduce the risks.
• The Data Terminal confirmed that satellites, observation stations, probes, and ground sensors were ready to monitor the Red Moon.
• Vivian prepared to summon the Red Moon, while Lily stood by with the Alloy Giant X7 Sword as an emergency means of knocking Vivian unconscious to sever her connection.
• Hilda opened the tower’s dome, and Vivian began gathering magical energy as bells rang across the City of Stars.
• Hao Ren teleported to the Giant Turtle Rock Platform, where Nolan activated panoramic observation and relayed real-time data.
• A ripple expanded in space, and the Red Moon appeared at the expected location as an observable celestial body.

Vivian summoned the Red Moon and controlled its moonlight so it caused no harm to the City of Stars. Hao Ren and the Data Terminal examined the mysterious body from space and approached its surface, discovering that it was a motionless red ocean.

• The Red Moon descended over the City of Stars, and its harmless moonlight spread across the city and the surrounding area.
• Vivian said she had controlled the Red Moon's power, while Lily lowered her alloy sword and the Royal Archmages of Erem began monitoring the phenomenon.
• Hao Ren and the Data Terminal observed that the moonlight was confined to the area around Vivian and analyzed the Red Moon's strange physical properties, including its lack of detectable gravity.
• Hao Ren piloted the Giant Turtle Rock Platform toward the Red Moon and sent probes to examine its surface.
• Hao Ren and the Data Terminal identified the Red Moon's surface as a translucent ocean whose ripples and waves were completely motionless.

Hao Ren investigated the motionless sea on the Red Moon and found that it was real, blood-rich water, strengthening his suspicion that the dwarf planet was a projection of the Founding Star. On an artificially modified island, he deciphered markings that identified the place as Lockmadon's home and play area.

• Nolan reported that the Red Moon was almost entirely covered by motionless water, and probes confirmed that the sea was real and similar in composition to Origin Blood.
• Hao Ren compared the Red Moon to the Founding Star and theorized that it was a projection shaped by Vivian's memories.
• Nolan's probes discovered artificial structures on a small island, and Hao Ren went down to investigate despite Nolan's safety warning.
• Hao Ren found a circular sandy depression, surrounding hollows, and a glowing stone slab bearing undecipherable symbols.
• Hao Ren touched the slab and read the words "Lockmadon's sleeping place," then directed the Data Terminal to find and decipher more markers.
• Hao Ren and the Data Terminal found labels identifying Lockmadon's playground, dining place, and collected rocks.

Hao Ren confirmed that the Red Moon was a miniature copy of the Founding Star’s first-era form and discovered Lockmadon’s childhood nest there. After investigating a mysterious crystal forest beneath the sea, he touched a crystal with the mark on his palm and felt it grow warm.

• Hao Ren concluded that the Red Moon copied the Founding Star from the era when the Creation Goddess and Lockmadon lived there alone.
• Hao Ren told Vivian about Lockmadon’s nest and his theory that the Red Moon reproduced the ancient Founding Star.
• Nolan reported that a probe had found an isolated forest of unusual energy-conducting crystals on the seafloor.
• Hao Ren traveled to the crystal forest and examined its largest cluster with the Data Terminal.
• Hao Ren touched the largest crystal with the mark left by divine blood, and the mark faintly warmed.

Hao Ren was drawn into a new illusion connected to the crystals on the Red Moon, where he explored a storm-lashed crystal world and discovered a hall containing a mysterious woman. The illusion ended as the woman was sealed into a crystal throne, while the Red Moon projected a broken, unfamiliar star map across Erem’s sky.

• Hao Ren touched a crystal in the Sea of Red Moons and was pulled into an illusion of a vast crystal plain energized by lightning.
• Hao Ren explored the crystal world, noted that its clusters behaved like a signal-amplifying network, and followed his instincts to a wall of black mist.
• The Red Moon brightened and projected an incomplete star map over Erem, while the Data Terminal told Vivian and Nangong Sanba that Hao Ren was inside another illusion and remained unharmed.
• Hao Ren reached through the black mist and entered a domed crystal hall, where he saw a blurry woman approach a crystal throne.
• Hao Ren watched the woman sit on the throne as crystals sealed her in, then the illusion collapsed and he awoke beside the darkening crystal prism.

Hao Ren returned from an illusion on the Red Moon to find the moon disappearing and Vivian trapped inside a blood-red tornado during the interrupted Summoning Ritual. He reached the storm’s eye, where Vivian told him she remembered that the Creation Goddess was the leader of the God Slayers.

• Hao Ren woke from an unusually long illusion after the Data Terminal struck him and learned that the Red Moon had lit up and projected a hologram into space.
• The Red Moon began flickering out, and Nangong May told Hao Ren that the Summoning Ritual had stopped and Vivian was surrounded by a storm.
• Hao Ren returned to the Royal Mage Tower and found a blood-red tornado destroying the ritual hall while Lily was being tossed around inside it.
• Hao Ren entered the tornado with his Rigid Shield and attitude-adjustment devices, then reached its windless center.
• Vivian turned to Hao Ren and said she remembered that the Creation Goddess was the leader of the God Slayers.

Vivian woke after the ritual accident and revealed that the Creation Goddess had been corrupted by the Lord of Madness long before the Godslaying Incident. She explained that the corruption had spread throughout the Dream Plane and ended by revealing that the Creation Goddess had been split into two.

• A blood-red tornado vanished, leaving Vivian unconscious and Lily dizzy, while Hao Ren and the others checked that everyone was safe.
• Hao Ren told the group that Vivian had said, “The Creation Goddess is the leader of the God Slayers,” before passing out.
• Vivian woke and confirmed that she had received information about the Creation Goddess through inherited divine blood.
• Vivian revealed that the Lord of Madness had corrupted the Creation Goddess during her final battle and had secretly spread its influence throughout the Dream Plane.
• Vivian explained that the corruption accounted for the Firstborn going mad and the Guardian Giant's mutation, then revealed that the Creation Goddess had been split into two.

Vivian explained how the Lord of Madness corrupted the Creation Goddess and drove her to split off and sacrifice her corrupted self, causing the God-slaying War and the destruction of the life she had created. Hao Ren then described seeing a figure resembling the Creation Goddess on a crystal throne during his Red Moon illusion, and began to explain what he had witnessed.

• Vivian recounted how the Lord of Madness’s corruption spread through the Creation Goddess and her growing network of life.
• Vivian explained that the Creation Goddess split into two, then severed and sent her corrupted self to the God-slaying Clan so it could kill her.
• The Creation Goddess’s self-destruction stopped the Lord of Madness from escaping fully, but the Firstborn lost control and the age of life was destroyed.
• Hao Ren asked Vivian whether her recovered memories were connected to his experience beneath the Red Moon.
• Hao Ren said he had seen a figure resembling the Creation Goddess on a crystal throne in an illusion and began to describe the vision.

Hao Ren and the others examined contradictions in his visions of the Red Moon and the Creation Goddess, then reconsidered how much of the Goddess’s work might have been influenced by the Lord of Madness. Alarmed that the unfinished Creation Engine could be part of that danger, Hao Ren ordered its assembly suspended.

• Hao Ren recounted his Red Moon discoveries and offered explanations for the Creation Goddess appearing sealed in a crystal throne.
• Lily and Nangong Sanba pointed out that the timeline undermined Hao Ren’s theory that the figure was the Goddess’s separated dark side.
• The group considered how the Lord of Madness could influence intelligent creatures, including the Creation Goddess, without thinking for itself.
• Hao Ren reviewed the Goddess’s many actions and worried that some might have served the Lord of Madness’s escape.
• Hao Ren told the Data Terminal to ask Lemendusa to suspend assembly of the Creation Engine, citing a fatal flaw in its blueprint.

After Vivian’s memories revealed that the Creation Goddess had split into two, Hao Ren worried that the Creation Engine might release the Lord of Madness and that the two identities could no longer be cleanly separated. Raven 12345 advised him that the Dark Valkyrie’s Bible could counter the corruption if they encountered the worst case.

• Hao Ren halted construction of the Creation Engine and planned to have its blueprints reviewed after the Red Moon experiment revealed the Creation Goddess’s split.
• Hilda thanked Hao Ren for involving the Erem Elves, who had gained useful inspiration for studying energy extraction.
• Hao Ren organized the new evidence and analyzed the Creation Goddess’s history with Nangong Sanba and Lily, but they found no clear way to distinguish her influence from the Lord of Madness’s.
• Vivian wondered whether the second Goddess, who inherited the Lord of Madness’s will, had been dragged into the Dark Domain and might be the one they eventually found.
• Hao Ren realized Vivian’s soul corruption and recurring madness had also originated from the Lord of Madness’s influence.
• Raven 12345 told Hao Ren to release the power of the Dark Valkyrie’s Bible if he faced a Creation Goddess corrupted by the Lord of Madness.

Hao Ren used Raven 12345’s method to read the divine book and received a blunt instruction to persuade the Creation Goddess by alternating reason with blows. Meanwhile, Lemendusa and Muru halted work on the Creation Engine, suspecting the real reason was connected to their mother, and Lemendusa recalled a faint shadow beside her before the God-slaying War.

• Hao Ren opened the black-bound book while Lily and Nangong Sanba watched, and concentrated on a question about what to do if the Creation Goddess had been corrupted.
• The book advised Hao Ren to reason with the Goddess, hit her with the chained book if she refused, and repeat until she listened; Hao Ren passed out after reading it.
• Lemendusa oversaw the suspension of the Creation Engine’s construction because its golden-disc cores were missing and Hao Ren had urgently ordered the project halted.
• Muru and Lemendusa agreed the blueprint flaw was probably an excuse and suspected the halt was connected to their mother.
• Lemendusa told Muru he knew some things but could not reveal them, then remembered a nearly imperceptible shadow beside the Creation Goddess before the God-slaying War.

After recovering from reading the Bible, Hao Ren discovered that the divine artifact offered an absurd oracle but had also granted him access to some of its power. The Data Terminal then combined the Red Moon’s star chart with a hidden chart from the Solar Dynasty ruins, revealing a complete route to a mysterious place in the Dream Plane.

• Hao Ren woke after passing out from reading the Bible and told Vivian that its oracle advised him to smack the corrupted Creation Goddess with the book.
• Hao Ren tested the Bible’s connection to him, heard its chain rattle, and put it away after deciding not to use it unless necessary.
• Hao Ren asked the Data Terminal to compare the Red Moon’s star chart with the charts they had collected.
• The Data Terminal found that the Red Moon chart complemented the star chart projected by the Great Pyramid on Purgatory Planet.
• The Data Terminal unfolded hidden coordinates in the Solar Dynasty chart and merged both charts into a complete map pointing to a mysterious place in the Dream Plane.

After the two halves of the star map were assembled, Hao Ren and Vivian realized that Vivian’s twin on Purgatory Planet had preserved one half before succumbing to corruption. Hao Ren sent reconnaissance drones toward the map’s mysterious coordinates, and two arrived safely two days later, sending back inconceivable images.

• Hao Ren and Vivian concluded that the Evil Spirit on Purgatory Planet had left the second half of the star map with the Solar Dynasty while she was still sane.
• Hao Ren proposed investigating the completed map’s coordinates, and the others gathered to hear his plan.
• Hao Ren explained that reconnaissance drones could jump near the unknown star sector using the map’s navigational data, despite the risk of deviation.
• The group agreed to send probes, and three reinforced reconnaissance drones began jumping toward the coordinates.
• Two days later, two drones reached the coordinates safely and transmitted utterly inconceivable images.
