Chapter Summaries

Hao Ren and Vivian fought through the Blood Demon God's body and reached a strange biological chamber inside it. There, Vivian found her sleeping red-haired counterpart bound inside a crystal and decided to eat her.

• Demon God Vivian stopped moving after Hao Ren and Vivian broke through the tissue, while the Firstborn tentacles repaired her body.
• Lily and the others rested and recovered, and Nangong May sensed that the Blood Demon God was connected to the planet through the tentacles.
• Hao Ren treated his severe injuries as Vivian recovered, and the Data Terminal criticized their reckless approach.
• Hao Ren and Vivian explored the biological chamber and avoided destroying it because the Blood Demon God could regenerate elsewhere.
• Vivian found a red-haired version of herself chained inside a crystal and told Hao Ren she planned to eat her.

Vivian attempted to absorb the powerful Evil Spirit sealed in a Blood crystal, with Hao Ren and the Data Terminal standing by to protect her. After the Evil Spirit weakened and briefly fought back, she merged into Vivian, leaving the group with no answers about the Evil Spirits’ origins.

• Vivian explained that she could assimilate the Evil Spirit, and Hao Ren agreed after the Blood crystal began cracking and its seal weakened.
• Vivian surrounded the crystal with a blood-mist magic array while Hao Ren prepared to rescue her and the Data Terminal monitored her condition.
• Vivian shattered the crystal and suppressed the awakened Evil Spirit as it attacked the array.
• Vivian spoke gently to the weakening Evil Spirit, which said it had tried and asked to return.
• The Evil Spirit dissolved into points of light and merged into Vivian.

Vivian absorbed the remnants of the evil spirit and returned to the group as the fused organ began to collapse. In the underground city, she revealed that she was the Goddess of the legends only because people had mistaken part of her for the Creation Goddess, and that she had been split in two when she first arrived on the planet.

• Vivian absorbed the drifting lights and recovered some of the evil spirit's memories, while Hao Ren helped her escape the collapsing organ.
• Hao Ren and Vivian reunited with the group, confirmed that the destruction was limited to the fused region, and returned to the underground city while the ancient spirits continued Gragon's lullaby.
• Vivian asked Gai Ze'er to take Bania to the surface and told Gragon to maintain the lullaby as they gathered in the Great Hall.
• Vivian told Hao Ren and the others that she was the Goddess of the legends, but not the Creation Goddess, and that people had mistaken part of her for the deity.
• Vivian revealed that she had passed through the Wall of Reality forty-eight hours before the Creation Goddess fell, but had arrived on the planet first and been split in two.

Vivian explained that she split after arriving on Purgatory Planet ten thousand years ago, leaving one half to become the Goddess while the other was sent to Earth. After the Goddess’s safeguards failed and she fused with the clone, Hao Ren planned to replace the ancient spirits’ lullaby ritual, while Vivian remained unsure whether she could split again.

• Vivian recounted how she split upon arriving on Purgatory Planet, with one half becoming the Goddess and the other going to Earth.
• Vivian explained that the Goddess controlled the Firstborn through a shared seal and built safeguards to cage herself if she went mad.
• Vivian said the Firstborn was now brainless and that the ancient spirits’ lullaby kept its nervous system stable.
• Hao Ren and the Data Terminal planned to replace the lullaby ritual with a computer-controlled system using the city’s blueprints and ritual materials.
• Vivian agreed that the evil spirit summoned from the spellbook might have been another split, but she could not say whether she could control or prevent future splits.

After Vivian absorbed her split body, Hao Ren and the others planned a new system to replace the planet’s Firstborn core and discussed the mysterious blood crystal. Hao Ren contacted Raven 12345 about moving Purgatory out of the Wall of Reality, and she said she had a place for it in the Outer World’s Rift Nebula.

• Vivian explained that the planet’s Firstborn had died ten thousand years ago and that its replacement system had failed, so she set out to help build a new control system and learn the ancient spirits’ Lullaby technique.
• Gragon voiced the ancient spirits’ concern about being replaced, and Vivian told him she wanted them to rest after serving for thousands of years.
• Vivian said her recovered memories had not changed her personality, and she and Hao Ren wondered how the other Vivian’s blood crystal had reached Beatrice.
• The Data Terminal finished a blueprint for a new Firstborn control complex, while Hao Ren decided they also needed to move Purgatory out of the Wall of Reality.
• Hao Ren reported the situation to Raven 12345, who said Purgatory could be moved to the Rift Nebula in the Outer World.

Hao Ren and Raven 12345 prepared to move Purgatory into the Outer World, while Vivian announced to the Wind Tribe that the Emerald Era was ending and the Solar Era would return. The tribe was left awaiting further instructions as messengers were selected to spread her message.

• Raven 12345 explained why Purgatory should be moved into the Outer World and sent Hao Ren technical instructions for the operation.
• Hao Ren ordered the Data Terminal to bring the Giant Turtle Rock Platform and load the instructions into its main computer.
• Nangong May discovered she could split into many miniature copies, briefly turning the dawn gathering into chaos.
• Vivian told the Wind Tribe’s leaders that the Emerald Era had ended and their world would soon enter the Solar Era again.
• Hao Ren instructed the tribe to relay Vivian’s message, cancel the newborn incense ceremony, and wait calmly for further orders.

Hao Ren organized messengers and teleportation gates to contact the planet’s scattered tribes before its coming upheaval. After the messengers departed, Nolan arrived in the Giant Turtle Rock Platform, and Hao Ren took Vivian and others aboard to survey the Cloudtop.

• Hao Ren used probes to locate more than thirty settlements and prepared teleportation gates and communicators for the tribal messengers.
• Gai Ze'er brought the messengers, including Bania, and Hao Ren assigned them destinations and taught them how to use the communicators.
• The messengers departed through the gates, and Nolan arrived aboard the Giant Turtle Rock Platform.
• Nolan told Hao Ren she had adapted to her body and had raced a neutron star in the Andromeda Galaxy.
• Heiserana mistook the ship's grandeur for a reason to warn Vivian about Hao Ren, and Vivian threw her aside.
• Hao Ren, Vivian, Heiserana, and others boarded the ship and set off to survey the Cloudtop as the tribespeople worshiped them from below.

Hao Ren and his group planned to remove Purgatory Planet’s poisonous upper crust by hiring Fialli United Mining to excavate it and sell the valuable petrified material. After Nolan took over piloting, Data Terminal refused to leave the control console’s slot.

• Heiserana toured Giant Turtle Rock Platform’s bridge and asked Hao Ren whether he came from Mars or Zhiyuan Star.
• Hao Ren’s group discussed how to remove Purgatory Planet’s hazardous crust without destroying the shelter beneath it.
• Data Terminal proposed hiring Fialli United Mining to excavate the crust and isolate the planet’s gravity to keep debris from falling.
• Hao Ren offered the company free mining rights in exchange for safe, efficient work and agreed to authenticate the petrified material’s historical value.
• Nolan said she had visited Erem and asked why Data Terminal was still plugged into her while she piloted the ship.
• Data Terminal refused to leave its slot, declaring it would fight anyone who tried to remove it.

Hao Ren and his companions watched Raven 12345 move Purgatory Planet from its isolated spatial fragment into the Outer World and set it in motion with a colossal whip kick. With the planet now orbiting a new sun, Hao Ren outlined his plans for its recovery, and Raven 12345 left the follow-up work to him.

• Giant Turtle Rock Platform reached Purgatory Planet's low orbit, and unmanned craft mapped the planet as Hao Ren waited for Raven 12345 to open the gate.
• Raven 12345 connected Purgatory Planet's spatial fragment to the Outer World, revealing the surrounding stars and a nearby sun.
• Raven 12345 froze the planet's state with a protective field, then kicked it into motion around the new sun.
• Hao Ren and the vampires stared in shock at the Goddess's First Push, and Hao Ren asked the vampires to pretend they had not seen it.
• Raven 12345 added protection to shield the planet from the sun's heat, then heard Hao Ren's plans to restore its ecosystem and manage its crust.
• Raven 12345 declined to reshape the planet herself because Hao Ren already had follow-up plans.

Raven 12345 showed Hao Ren the Rift Nebula and explained that it was a stabilized wound in the Wall of Reality, where the Dream Plane and Outer World had once erased an entire galaxy. She revealed that the region was a Compatibility Zone suited to the Purgatory Planet, though Hao Ren would need to guide its development as a refugee planet in the distant future.

• Hao Ren declined to ask Raven 12345 to settle the Purgatory Planet for him, and she praised his growth before inviting him to see the Rift Nebula.
• Raven 12345 gave Hao Ren an enhanced view of the nebula and explained that a tremor in the Wall of Reality 2,600 years earlier had torn open a rift 7.7 light-years wide.
• Raven 12345 said the rift had connected the real world to the Dream Plane, erased a galaxy and its civilizations, and left a dangerous region where matter was continually created and destroyed.
• Raven 12345 explained that the Sovereign Hub had stabilized the region as a Compatibility Zone where the laws of the two universes could coexist.
• Hao Ren understood that Raven 12345 had placed the Purgatory Planet in the zone because it could accommodate its Dream Plane fragments, and she guaranteed the planet's safety.
• Raven 12345 said the Purgatory Planet would be registered as a refugee planet and told Hao Ren to remind her in ten or twenty thousand years to help guide its development.

Hao Ren learned from Raven 12345 how the Rift Galaxy had been erased by a collision between universes, then returned to Purgatory Planet to begin its recovery. After setting up automated construction facilities, he and his crew left the planet, which would begin its next stage in half a month.

• Raven 12345 explained the Rift Galaxy's destruction and warned Hao Ren that the universe was more fragile than he had thought.
• Raven 12345 kicked Hao Ren back to the Giant Turtle Rock Platform, where Nolan pried him off its Antenna Tower.
• Hao Ren checked Purgatory Planet's new orbit, and the Data Terminal explained that they needed to control the Firstborn before beginning the planet's restoration.
• The Giant Turtle Rock Platform returned to Dorashir, where four mini-factories began setting up construction facilities in the lower crust.
• Vivian contacted the indigenous tribes, and the Giant Turtle Rock Platform left Purgatory Planet.

After returning home from Purgatory, Hao Ren discovered that Doudou had shed her scales as she grew, and Elsa reassured him that it was normal. Vivian invited Heiserana to stay a few more days, leaving Heiserana unexpectedly grateful to Hao Ren.

• Hao Ren and the others returned home, where Vivian relaxed at the sight of the familiar house and Heiserana worried that Vivian was treating it as home.
• Hao Ren found Roll watching television and learned that Doudou had grown and shed her scales three days earlier.
• Elsa explained that Doudou's shedding was a normal transition from infancy to childhood, and Hao Ren relaxed after checking that she was healthy.
• Vivian told Heiserana she could stay a few more days before returning to manage her family and face the Demon Hunters.
• Heiserana thanked Hao Ren by calling him “Second Dad,” and Hao Ren slid beneath the coffee table with Doudou.

Hao Ren handled his work while the Data Terminal unveiled a holographic form to compete with Nolan for the battleship mainframe. The chapter left him checking on Dodo after Elizabeth reported that she could not stop spinning in the water.

• Heiserana delighted in becoming closer to Vivian, while Hao Ren left Vivian to discipline her and returned to work.
• Hao Ren and Izax chatted about Purgatory Planet until the Data Terminal appeared as a blonde hologram and announced its plan to take Nolan’s mainframe position.
• Lily grabbed the Data Terminal’s physical casing, making its holographic body sway, while Elizabeth watched in astonishment.
• Elizabeth told Hao Ren that Dodo had complained of stomach discomfort and was spinning uncontrollably in her basin.
• Hao Ren rushed to check on Dodo, who leaped from the water and cheerfully asked him to swim.

Hao Ren discovered that Doudou had laid a tiny egg, though medical tests showed she was healthy. Raven 12345 asked him to bring Doudou and Vivian to see her, leaving the egg’s care and meaning unresolved.

• Hao Ren and Nangong May examined Doudou after she complained of a bloated stomach and swam awkwardly, but they could not identify a problem.
• Doudou’s discomfort suddenly vanished, and she revealed that she had laid a tiny white egg.
• Hao Ren’s family debated whether the early, small egg was normal, while medical tests confirmed Doudou was healthy.
• Izax suggested asking the Goddess, and Raven 12345 contacted Hao Ren before he could call her.
• Raven 12345 asked Hao Ren to bring Doudou and Vivian to see her.

Hao Ren brought Dodo and Vivian to meet Raven 12345, who confirmed Dodo was healthy and preserved her test egg as a pendant. Raven then showed Hao Ren and Vivian a warehouse containing more than twenty sleeping red-haired versions of Vivian, leaving Vivian stunned and horrified.

• Hao Ren and Vivian brought Dodo's egg to Raven 12345, who examined Dodo and found that her egg-laying was a normal developmental self-check.
• Raven 12345 encased Dodo's egg in a pendant with a tracking function and hung it around Dodo's neck.
• Raven 12345 took Hao Ren and Vivian to a special warehouse and opened storage slots containing crystal hibernation containers.
• Hao Ren and Vivian saw more than twenty sleeping red-haired versions of Vivian, and Raven 12345 said most of the split bodies should be there.

Hao Ren and Vivian learned that Raven 12345 had collected many of Vivian’s splits and suspected Vivian might be connected to the Creation Goddess’s lost creation database. The chapter left them wondering whether Vivian’s splits posed a danger after she had swallowed one on Purgatory Planet.

• Hao Ren saw more than twenty hibernating Vivian splits, and Raven 12345 admitted she had been collecting them.
• Raven 12345 explained that Vivian was likely a key element cast into the Outer World by the Creation Goddess before her death, possibly to repair or restart the Creation Goddess’s database in Founding Star.
• Raven 12345 warned that Vivian might contain a self-aware system, though she had seen no sign of a second soul and Vivian wore the protective amulet.
• Raven 12345 said Vivian produced a split each time she fell asleep and that her first split may have triggered a chain reaction.
• Hao Ren remembered that Vivian had swallowed the split on Purgatory Planet and worried about what effect it might have.

Raven 12345 explained her theory that Vivian’s unstable soul expelled negative traits as split-off selves, but warned that investigating the source could be dangerous. She reassured Vivian that a protective mechanism had kept her safe and said she would seek a safe solution before Vivian split again.

• Raven 12345 told Hao Ren and Vivian that Vivian’s split-off selves represented negative traits such as anger, fear, rot, plague, and decline.
• Vivian recalled briefly confusing her ancient Purgatory Planet memories with her present life after absorbing split-off selves.
• Raven 12345 theorized that Vivian’s unstable soul generated negative forces and expelled them as evil spirits.
• Hao Ren asked where those negative forces came from, and Raven 12345 said their source might lie in Vivian’s earliest memories but could be dangerous to investigate.
• Raven 12345 reassured Vivian that an internal detoxification mechanism had protected her and promised to find a safe solution before her next split.
• Raven 12345 said Demon God Vivian had left no remains of her own and revealed that she had searched the world for the other split-off selves, once digging up Vivian while she slept.

Hao Ren learned that Vivian’s split forms might preserve memories from the time she lost her own, and that absorbing the Primal Split had begun synchronizing them. After the household settled back into its routine and Heiserana’s group departed, Hao Ren received word that Fialli United Mining’s excavation team was coming to Purgatory Planet.

• Hao Ren asked Raven 12345 whether Vivian’s condition was about to change, and she explained that the split forms might contain memories capable of filling Vivian’s gaps.
• Raven 12345 said the split forms’ mental worlds had begun integrating after Vivian absorbed the Primal Split, and she warned Hao Ren to watch for other fragments while keeping Vivian safe.
• Hao Ren and Vivian returned home with Dou Dou, and he told the family that her egg-laying was normal and would not happen again before adulthood.
• The Heiserana trio left after staying with Hao Ren’s household for more than ten days, with Vivian promising they could visit again.
• Hao Ren received a communication from an AI on Purgatory Planet saying the basic engineering was complete and Fialli United Mining’s excavation team was coming.

Hao Ren returned to Purgatory Planet with Vivian and Lily to inspect its stable condition and meet United Mining's representatives. After reviewing their plan and fleet, he approved the work and told them to begin polishing the planet.

• Hao Ren arrived at Purgatory Planet and confirmed through the monitoring equipment that its operating conditions remained stable.
• Nolan invited United Mining's fleet into the planet's airspace, and Hao Ren examined the enormous mining ships.
• Hao Ren learned that United Mining's representative was Farsight Kriddan, who presented the company's excavation plan and promised to pull the planet's crust into space using gravity-control ships.
• The Data Terminal approved the plan, and Farsight explained that the fleet was an advance team sent to begin work quickly.
• Hao Ren accepted the plan and ordered United Mining to polish Purgatory Planet.

Hao Ren oversaw the Fialli mining fleet’s excavation of Purgatory Planet and witnessed the new control facility built over Dorashir. He met Gezer, Bania, and Gragon there, then ordered Gragon to gather the ancient spirits’ leaders.

• The Fialli ships tore open Purgatory Planet’s clouds, and Hao Ren signed documents certifying the planet’s fossils as valuable minerals.
• Hao Ren and his companions descended through the clouds as the Fialli began excavating the planet’s crust without disturbing the world below.
• Nolan piloted Giant Turtle Rock Platform to the control facility built over Dorashir, whose ancient structures had been replaced by alloy towers to control the Firstborn.
• Hao Ren, Vivian, and Lily disembarked and met Gezer, Bania, and Gragon, who were freed from the Lullaby ritual by the completed facility.
• Vivian asked whether the ancient spirits were still present, and Gragon confirmed they were waiting for her command.
• Vivian told Gragon to gather all the ancient spirits’ primary leaders.
