Hao Ren and Vivian uncovered the truth behind Purgatory’s Goddess legends and fought the Evil Spirit fused with the planet’s Firstborn. Vivian absorbed her other half, and the group began planning a new system to control the Firstborn and move Purgatory beyond the Wall of Reality.

• Hao Ren and his companions met Gai Ze’er’s West Wind Hanuk Tribe, whose sacred blades recognized Vivian as the Goddess, and learned its history of Dorashir and the Sky Closing.
• Gai Ze’er led Hao Ren and Vivian to the Fire Tribe, where they found Beatrice’s records and learned that Baptiste had returned with amnesia and an ability to revive at the cost of his memories.
• Baptiste died again at Beatrice’s grave and left behind an obsidian heart, while Vivian absorbed a red crystal from the tomb and recovered fragmented memories.
• Vivian opened the passage beneath Dorashir, and Hao Ren’s group discovered Shirador, the ancient city and Firstborn system sustained by the Solar Dynasty’s spirits.
• Gragon and the ancient spirits explained that their lullaby pacified the Firstborn, and Vivian led Hao Ren and their companions into its interior toward another version of herself.
• A giant Evil Spirit Vivian fused with the Firstborn attacked Hao Ren and Vivian, who reached its inner chamber and found a red-haired Vivian sealed in a crystal.
• Vivian broke the crystal, suppressed the Evil Spirit, and absorbed it as it asked to return, then explained that her arrival on Purgatory had split her in two, with one half becoming the Goddess of legend.
• Vivian and Hao Ren planned a computer-controlled replacement for the ancient spirits’ lullaby, and Raven 12345 agreed that Purgatory could be moved to the Rift Nebula in the Outer World.

Hao Ren moved Purgatory Planet into the Outer World and helped its people begin a new era, while Raven 12345 revealed the mystery surrounding Vivian’s split forms. A guardian’s distress signal led Hao Ren’s group to the suddenly reappeared Sulun’s Gate, where space and time were distorted.

• Raven 12345 moved Purgatory Planet into the Outer World, and Hao Ren arranged for its crust to be excavated while protecting the world beneath it.
• Hao Ren returned home and learned that Doudou had laid a small egg, which Raven 12345 identified as a normal developmental self-check.
• Raven 12345 showed Hao Ren and Vivian her collection of hibernating Vivian splits and explained that the fragments might contain important memories and clues to Vivian’s nature.
• Fialli United Mining removed Purgatory Planet’s petrified crust, while Vivian freed the ancient spirits from the Lullaby ritual and gave them a place to guide their descendants.
• The Pillar Giant Tree’s stone dome was lifted, sunlight reached the planet, and the New Solar Calendar began as the Zhuom rebuilt their civilization elsewhere.
• Muru received a distress signal bearing the mark of Sulun’s Gate, and Hao Ren’s team traced it to a location 12.6 billion light-years away.
• Doudou caused the Zhuom’s Origin Blood to retreat from its pool, and Hao Ren observed that it resumed flowing when she was removed.
• Hao Ren’s group found that Sulun’s Gate had reappeared in empty space, surrounded by warped space and a region where time slowed toward the fortress planet.

Hao Ren’s group reached Sulun’s Gate, rescued its surviving Guardians, and uncovered evidence of Vivian’s creation aboard a rebel flagship. The group returned to Earth and learned more about Vivian and Doudou, while Raven 12345 found that the Creation Engine relic might be connected to the Wall of Reality.

• Hao Ren restored normal time around Sulun and found the ruined planet under attack by Apostates, then helped Muru defeat the rebels and rescue the wounded Guardian Lemendusa.
• Lemendusa and Siv revealed that their temple protected a component of the Creation Engine, and Lemendusa agreed to let Hao Ren take it and accompany him.
• Hao Ren’s group boarded a drifting rebel flagship and found recordings of a red thought-form emerging, taking Vivian’s likeness, and teleporting away.
• Hao Ren concluded that Vivian had been created from Source Blood and brought Lemendusa and Siv to the Crystal Core Research Station, while arranging for Sulun’s Gate to be explored and rebuilt.
• Back on Earth, Hao Ren showed Vivian the flagship footage, and she learned that the Creation Goddess had created her from Source Blood, though the purpose she had been given remained forgotten.
• Raven 12345 explained that Doudou carried the life information of her extinct universe, which made the Source Blood revere her, and discussed the uncertainty surrounding Vivian’s original mission.
• Hao Ren showed Raven 12345 the Creation Engine disc, which projected fragments of Sulun’s destruction and a rebel ship, and Raven 12345 suggested the Engine might relate to the Wall of Reality.

Hao Ren and Vivian investigated the Chaos Shadows and the destruction of the Ankatro Family, then joined forces with the Demon Hunters to uncover Elder Amthura’s research.

• Raven 12345 returned the Creation Engine disc to Hao Ren and confirmed that his answer about finding someone in the Sea of Dreamscapes matched her prophecy.

• Hao Ren and Vivian met Pierre, who revealed the legend of the Golden Manor and its Sun Disc, before Bai Huo told them that a Demon Hunter warband had vanished inside Ankatro territory.
• Wayne opened the shifting entrance to the Ankatro Secret Realm, where Hao Ren’s group found the Golden Manor and the bodies of the Ankatro Family and Demon Hunters.
• The group found Elder Amthura’s body and his message, “They were right. We were wrong,” then agreed to investigate with Bai Huo and Hassu’s Demon Hunters.
• Hassu confirmed Amthura’s identity, and Hao Ren and Vivian read his papers and letters about declining innate hostility and supernatural races being brought to Earth to fight.
• Hao Ren connected Amthura’s claim that the hunting instinct had been implanted to his dying words, leaving the cause of the imposed hostility at the center of the investigation.
