Hao Ren and Vivian returned from their ten-thousand-year journey, reunited with their friends, and investigated the Red Moon’s link to Vivian’s recovered memories. Their discoveries exposed the Creation Goddess’s corruption and led them to a completed star map pointing to an unknown place in the Dream Plane.

• Hao Ren met Vivian Ancestor as Yggdrasil brought refugees into Earth’s sky, and she led him into her Consciousness Space to show him the crystal behind her fragmentation.
• Hao Ren and Vivian returned through the Gate of Spacetime, reunited with their friends, and learned from Raven 12345 that the Creation Goddess had originated from a drop of blood shed by Icedis.
• Raven 12345 restored Earth and the moon to their orbits, while Hao Ren and Vivian settled back into their old house and discovered that Little Weakling had developed real emotions.
• Hao Ren and Vivian summoned the Red Moon over Erem, where Hao Ren found signs that it reproduced the ancient Founding Star and entered a crystal illusion of a woman sealed on a throne.
• Vivian recovered information that the Creation Goddess had led the God Slayers, split herself in two, and sent her corrupted half to be killed, while Hao Ren questioned whether the Goddess’s actions had aided the Lord of Madness.
• Hao Ren halted construction of the Creation Engine, and Lemendusa recalled seeing a faint shadow beside the Creation Goddess before the God-slaying War.
• Hao Ren combined the Red Moon’s star chart with the Great Pyramid’s chart and the Solar Dynasty chart to reveal coordinates to a mysterious place in the Dream Plane.
• Hao Ren sent three reconnaissance drones toward the coordinates, and two arrived safely and transmitted inconceivable images.

Hao Ren’s damaged ship crash-landed on a world where robotic survivors fought a weakened Firstborn, and his crew uncovered the history of their lost civilization. After repairing N-6 and meeting N-4’s team, Hao Ren learned that the survivors’ central computer had been issuing contradictory orders and headed for Zenith Seat to investigate.

• The drone swarm revealed that X Sector lay beyond a discontinuous spatial boundary, and Hao Ren set out to explore it despite Vivian’s Red Moon connection to the Founding Star.
• A divine-power storm attacked the Giant Turtle Rock Platform in X Sector, forcing Nolan to make a blind jump that left the ship crippled on a forest-covered planet.
• Hao Ren’s group explored the ruined city and found evidence that a Firstborn had destroyed the native civilization, while survivors had escaped aboard a spacecraft later identified as Zenith Seat.
• The resistance army repeatedly attacked the Firstborn, but Nolan found that its neural activity had become abnormally sluggish and its adult forms appeared to have suffered brain death.
• Hao Ren’s group recovered the damaged robot N-6, and N-4’s team arrived to retrieve her before mistaking the ship for a hostile living spacecraft and attacking it.
• N-4 and N-6 explained that humans survived in the Moon base’s Fortress while Agents fought the Planet Devourer, which had weakened after a mysterious meteor shower three thousand years earlier.
• N-4 revealed that the central processor had been concealing errors and issuing contradictory orders, including a secret command to locate Hao Ren’s spacecraft.
• After Nolan repaired the Giant Turtle Rock Platform, Hao Ren, N-4, and N-6 headed for Zenith Seat to investigate the central computer’s orders.

Hao Ren discovered that humanity had vanished and helped the Agents inherit their civilization, then repaired the damaged Firstborn with a Cloud Brain linked to Zom. After finding a way through the divine-power blockade, Hao Ren entered the X Sector and encountered a dormant Starry Sky warship in a mysterious cloud.

• Hao Ren and his companions infiltrated the Moon fortress, where the Main Brain revealed that humanity had been transformed by the Planet Devourer and was extinct, then freed the vassals from their original directives with the Final Code.
• The Main Brain shut down, and its final mission sent the regents back to the planet as the fortress fell, and Hao Ren recorded the Agents’ succession and led his team into the Firstborn’s depths.
• Hao Ren found the Firstborn’s brain core destroyed by a divine crystal and, after recovering the crystal, approved Lily’s Cloud Brain plan to connect the Firstborn to Zom through the drone network.
• The drones built an artificial neural network, while N-4, N-6, and the new Agents prepared to govern their civilization and eventually return from the Moon.
• Nolan discovered that a divine-power network blocked nearly all of X Sector, and tests showed that Hao Ren, Vivian, and Doudou could cross when most of the group could not.
• Asuman identified the luminous guardians as dormant Starry Sky People warships and gave Hao Ren a crystal fragment that let his group pass the blockade.
• Hao Ren’s group entered a luminous cloud after receiving neutral status and level-two contact authorization, and Nolan crashed into a crystal pillar as the cloud’s structures appeared.

Hao Ren found the surviving fairies of Nakdal, discovered Vivian was recognized as their queen, and prepared the shattered fortress for war. He joined forces with Salamander’s Guardians to confront the Corruptors, but as the enemy retreated, Salamander warned him that Amantir must not be destroyed.

• Hao Ren investigated a dormant Star People spaceship and learned its energy had been sent to a distant battlefield, then linked the fleet’s crystal antenna to Zom’s Remote Thought Array.
• Hao Ren followed a distress signal to Nakdal, a shattered planetary fortress whose surviving fairies had been stranded and were being attacked by Corruptors.
• Hao Ren and Vivian discovered that Vivian could activate Nakdal’s navigation crystal, and the fairies declared her their queen.
• Hao Ren traced Nakdal’s route through spatial turbulence and found evidence that corrupted Guardian Giants and warships had destroyed it from within.
• Hao Ren fortified Nakdal and contacted Salamander, who agreed to cooperate with the drone legion against the Corruptors near the Hub.
• Hao Ren evacuated Nakdal’s main drone facilities, staged a false defense, and sent the fortress cluster toward the Hub as a Corruptor Legion advanced from Amantir.
• Hao Ren’s drones joined Salamander’s Guardians in battle, overwhelming the Corruptors and trapping many in a space-collapse ambush.
• The Corruptors retreated under Amantir’s fire, and when Hao Ren decided to pursue them, Salamander urgently warned him not to destroy Amantir.
