Chapter Summaries

Angel explained how Ordovician brain domains produced talents and abilities, while determining that Luno’s 29% development ruled out a second talent. The group found the Door Scar that called to Luno, but chose not to enter the suspected Trial Instance before making preparations.

• Luno explained that Ordovicians developed their brain domains to gain talents, with each additional threshold granting more talents and abilities.
• Angel learned that Luno had reached 29% brain domain development, so he had not yet gained a second talent, despite Angel’s certainty that Luno had a gift from the world’s will.
• Yifuda, Yota, and Giant City Spirit suggested other explanations for Luno hearing a summons, so Angel proposed following it to verify the source.
• Luno led Angel and the others from Rabbit Tower to an uninhabited area, where Giant City Spirit spotted a Door Scar in a puddle.
• Luno confirmed that the Door Scar was the source of the calling voice, but, after hearing about the dangers of instances, agreed not to enter until he had prepared.

Luno explained how he developed his Dream Core Wave ability by absorbing a holy relic left by an Ocean Prefecture undercover agent. He revealed that Strange Sea pursued him for the relic and that its poison-wielding agent ultimately caused his death, while Angel suspected the relic might have carried a gift from the Dream Realm’s Will.

• Luno asked why Rabbit Town and Rabbit Tower were covered in rabbit motifs, and Angel told him he would discover the reason by staying there.
• Angel questioned Luno about his waves talent, and Luno described his Sky-Surging Giant Waves and Air Cannon abilities before introducing Dream Core Wave.
• Luno explained that he developed Dream Core Wave by absorbing a holy relic, which accelerated his brain-domain development but left him just short of the third layer.
• Angel wondered whether the holy relic, rather than Luno, had received a gift from the World's Will.
• Luno recounted how the relic belonged to an Ocean Prefecture undercover agent whose dream-core ability made him valuable to intelligence work within Strange Sea.
• Luno said Strange Sea pursued him after he came into possession of the relic, and he eventually died after a poison-talented ability user plotted against him.

Angel concluded that Luno had inherited the Dream Realm's gift and trial Instance through a relic once owned by an Ocean Prefecture agent. The group discussed Luno's place in the Dream Crystal Plain, and Luno agreed to explain the Dream Core Wave while asking everyone to keep its details private.

• Angel reasoned that the senior agent's Dream Core talent and trial Instance had come from the Dream Realm's will, and Luno had inherited them through the agent's relic.
• Luno recalled that the agent had developed his brain domain from below four percent to ten percent at age thirty-nine, possibly after receiving the Dream Realm's gift.
• Yifuda described Luno's journey as fate bringing him to the Dream Crystal Plain, while Angel translated her words and Luno said he did not believe in fate.
• Yifuda used her speech to encourage Luno to settle in the Dream Crystal Plain and to persuade Yota not to punish him harshly; Yota understood her intention.
• Angel asked Luno to explain the Dream Core Wave, and Luno agreed after requesting that everyone keep its effects secret.

Luno explained how his Dream Core Wave gave him lucid dreams, allowed him to sense nearby sleepers’ dreams, and protected his soul from negative energy. After discussing his interest in the Trial Instance, Angel helped the Crystal-Eyed Race and Luno begin resolving their long-standing conflict, and they agreed not to interfere with each other for now.

• Luno described the Dream Core Wave’s abilities and explained that he had used it to resist negative energy while asleep as a soul.
• Laplace reasoned that the Dream Core Wave might originate from the Dream Realm’s will, while Giant City Spirit worried it could expose nearby sleepers’ secrets.
• Angel advised Luno to prepare for the Trial Instance by challenging Fairyland Instances first, and suggested that Luno and Hong Gemata remained independent individuals despite entering on the same Dream Bridge.
• Angel urged Luno and the Crystal-Eyed Race to resolve their conflict without fighting, then stepped aside while Yota led the negotiations.
• Luno and the Crystal-Eyed Race agreed to leave each other alone for the time being.

After Luno revealed that he had hidden evidence of the Strange Sea Organization’s Doomsday Plan, he asked Angel to deliver it to the Ocean Prefecture authorities. Angel explained that reaching the Ordovician World could take centuries and pointed out that more than a hundred years had already passed, leaving the plan’s timing uncertain.

• Angel arranged for Luno to study the Crystal-Eyed Race’s language with Wan Wanta and borrow the Heart Reed.
• After the others left, Luno admitted that a dying mole had entrusted him with a spatial item containing information about the Doomsday Plan, but he had kept it hidden.
• Luno asked Angel to take the spatial item and its concealed drop of Srofa’s Water to the Ocean Prefecture authorities, offering his own resources in return.
• Luno explained that the Strange Sea Organization planned to use Srofa’s Water to flood Ocean Prefecture and eventually the entire Ordovician World.
• Angel described the Southern Region’s isolation and the long journey required to reach the Ordovician World, then questioned whether the plan might already have begun during Luno’s century-long absence.

Angel rejected Luno’s request to personally carry the Doomsday Plan and Srofa’s Water to Ocean Prefecture, since the journey to the Ordovician World would take too long and offered no guaranteed reward. He suggested hiring a Void Caravan instead, with Luno earning the necessary payment by trading Wonderland items in the Dream Crystal Plain.

• Luno grieved that at least a hundred years had passed since his death and feared his former maid, Nazhi, had moved on, but he still wanted to save his homeland.
• Angel explained that reaching the Ordovician World from the Southern Region would take around a hundred years, and refused to undertake the journey without a reliable reward.
• Luno considered using the Mirror Realm to reach the Ordovician World, but Angel said he had no way to locate it there, leaving Luno ready to give up.
• Angel suggested entrusting the items to a Void Caravan, whose special channels could transport goods much faster than traveling through the void on foot.
• Angel proposed that Luno earn money in the Dream Crystal Plain by clearing Wonderland Instances and trading Wonderland items with logged-in visitors for real-world supplies.
• Luno understood that the supplies could pay a Void Caravan to deliver the items and accepted the suggestion as his remaining option.

Luno agreed to let Angel contact the Void Caravan to deliver the Doomsday Plan, then asked Angel about the Dream Crystal Plain and the Ordovician World. Their conversation revealed that the Greenwald Arcane Research Institute had signed a peace treaty with the Otaoans, whose world had powerful demigods; Luno also recalled that the Doomsday Plan Document mentioned a demigod meeting wizards from Sunshine Prefecture.

• Luno trusted Angel to contact the Void Caravan and offered him any item from his hidden spatial artifacts as payment.
• Angel told Luno that he might explore Fairyland Instances for an artifact that could help him return to the Ordovician World, though he could not promise one existed.
• Luno identified the Greenwald Arcane Research Institute as the super-star organization that signed the Peace Mutual Assistance Treaty with the Otaoans about 130 years earlier.
• Luno explained that the Ordovician World had multiple realms and conquered worlds organized into prefectures outside the world, and that Ocean Prefecture had a demigod.
• Luno recalled that the Doomsday Plan Document mentioned a demigod from the Strange Sea Organization meeting wizards from Sunshine Prefecture and calling them madmen.

Angel and Laplace investigated the Exceptional Project that the wizards of Sunshine Prefecture were conducting on Otaoans, and speculated that it might combine the strengths of Otaoan ability development and wizard arcane research or study the brain domain. Angel left Luno with Heart Reed and hope of finding a way home through the Fairyland Instance, then returned with Laplace to the rain-soaked surface of Dream Crystal Plain.

• Luno told Angel that the wizards of Sunshine Prefecture were conducting human experiments on Otaoans as part of an Exceptional Project, which Angel explained was the defining research of a Super Star-level organization.
• Angel, Luno, and Laplace compared Otaoan ability development with wizard arcane research and guessed that the project might seek a safer, more effective way to create arcane arts or investigate the brain domain.
• Luno described how he developed Air Finger Gun in three years but failed to complete Spatial Shockwave after sixty years, illustrating the differing risks and difficulties of Otaoan abilities and wizard arcane arts.
• Angel concluded that the Ordovician World was powerful and might still contain living miracle lifeforms, which could explain why the Greenwald Arcane Research Institute had made peace with the Otaoans.
• Angel introduced Luno to Rabbit Girl, gave him Heart Reed, and encouraged him to seek a way home through the Fairyland Instance before leaving Rabbit Tower with Laplace.
• Angel and Laplace headed toward Yota and the Giant City Spirit, passing children playing in rainwater before reaching the surface, where torrential rain continued beyond Rabbit Town.

Angel met Han Da, the Crystal-Eyed Race designer who planned to rebuild Rabbit Town, and let her choose its design without his interference. After the group logged out, Yota agreed to arrange Angel’s trip to Luno’s graveyard to retrieve the spatial tool Luno had offered him.

• Angel and Laplace found Yota, Giant City Spirit, and Han Da surveying the rain-soaked surface near Rabbit Town.
• Han Da thanked Angel for awakening her and vowed to transform Rabbit Town, while asking to meet its former designer and inspect the town’s construction resources.
• Angel declined to dictate a design style, and Han Da took his confidence in her work as an expectation she was determined to fulfill.
• Yota explained that Han Da planned to make skates for exploring the Crystal Plains, and Angel, Laplace, Yota, and Giant City Spirit logged out.
• Angel and Yota drafted a Login Device purchase contract but left signing it to Gleipnir, who would also help resolve Yota’s remaining concerns with Lita.
• Yota declared that the Crystal-Eyed Race would leave its past behind, then agreed to arrange Angel’s visit to Luno’s graveyard for the spatial tool.

Angel and Laplace entered the Mirror Vault in the Ring Fortress and used a crystal sphere to reach the mirror space containing Luno's cemetery. The ruins teleported Angel away from the others, but he found a marker showing the main burial chamber and reconnected with Laplace as he headed there.

• Yota sent Angel and Laplace to the Mirror Vault while he went to retrieve ten thousand Sacred Corpse Crystals and arrange for Prophet Tunita's crystal.
• Maze guards warned Angel and Laplace not to enter the vortex without a vehicle, then carried them through the Mirror Maze in a crystal sphere.
• The Giant City Spirit cleared the maze by flattening its mirror corridors and exposing the target mirror, which the crystal sphere entered.
• Angel awoke alone in a tomb corridor after the ruins teleported him separately from the others.
• Angel used a marker mirror to locate the nearby main burial chamber and continued toward it, then reconnected with Laplace through the Mind Tether.

Angel and Laplace reached the hidden space by following a mechanical puppet through a dangerous route governed by changing travel restrictions. They passed the first two paths and began testing the rules of a third, ordinary stone path.

• Laplace met Angel in the corridor, and they chose to head straight for the hidden space rather than find the maze guards.
• Angel and Laplace entered a separate space where a mechanical puppet appeared and opened a path across a void.
• Laplace’s first attempt to cross the black-and-white tiles made the path vanish, but she realized that flying was forbidden and they crossed by jumping instead.
• Angel and Laplace crossed a waterway by waiting for each jump’s ripples to disappear, while the puppet taunted them and Laplace explained that the Divine Blood Clone was urging her to hurry.
• The puppet opened an ordinary stone path, and Angel tested it by walking forward without making the path disappear.

Angel and Laplace retraced the roads summoned by the clockwork puppet after Angel fell from the wooden staircase, then identified the footstep sequence that had triggered the fall. They continued up the stairs, with Laplace stepping right-foot-first at the critical point and safely reaching the other side.

• Angel and Laplace crossed the final roller-coaster track, followed the clockwork puppet onto a wooden staircase, and Angel fell when the stairs vanished beneath him.
• Angel used wind elemental power to rejoin Laplace, and they followed the puppet back to the cliff before restarting the journey.
• After returning to the wooden staircase, Angel and Laplace watched the puppet and noticed it changed its left-right stepping pattern after stopping to wait for them.
• Laplace stepped onto the stairs with her right foot at the spot where Angel had fallen, and the staircase remained in place.

Angel and Laplace followed the mechanical puppet through a one-person soap-bubble route into the ruin’s hidden space, where they found the puppet and Luno’s sealed inheritance. Angel opened the alloy door’s first lock, but pressing the second lock’s button transported him alone to a high platform above a vast sand table.

• Angel and Laplace rode separate soap bubbles out of the nested space and reunited in a corridor in the hidden space.
• Angel and Laplace found the mechanical puppet, then continued to an alloy door that Luno had protected with three locks.
• Angel learned the door’s locking mechanism and used Luno’s instructions to open the water-wave lock.
• Angel pressed the yellow button on the door’s second layer and found himself alone above an endless sand table.

Angel opened the Shock-Wave Lock and Sound-Wave Lock, then entered Luno’s hidden palace and found the relics he had left behind. He identified the ruby navel piercing as Luno’s spatial tool, while the other items remained to be examined.

• Angel activated the sandbox towers with a wind bullet, causing their shock waves to destroy the city of yellow sand and open the second lock.
• Laplace returned after studying the mechanical puppet and explained her interest in the Otaoans’ brain-domain abilities and her plan to learn their language.
• Angel used an illusion of Luno speaking the password to open the Sound-Wave Lock, then recorded Luno’s new voiceprint password.
• Angel and Laplace entered the hidden palace, where Angel found two metal boxes and a silver disc on a table beneath the throne.
• Angel opened the first box and recognized its ruby-inlaid navel piercing as Luno’s spatial tool, whose storage space was about the size of their soap-bubble ride.

Angel and Laplace examined Luno’s stored belongings, finding a vast collection of Otaoan books, the Doomsday Plan Document, and the dangerous Ruo Fa Water. Laplace secured the water while Angel studied a teleportation disk, and the chapter leaves them investigating an intact mural depicting an Otaoan walking toward a door as black matter pours out.

• Angel opened the thirty drawers in Luno’s belly button ring space and found books, flamboyant clothes, shoes, and materials for extraordinary research.
• Angel copied roughly ten drawers of ordinary Otaoan books into a miniature library and gave it to Laplace to study.
• Angel found the Doomsday Plan Document and a bottle containing Ruo Fa Water inside the fingernail space, but he and Laplace avoided examining the water directly.
• Angel placed the document in the belly button ring space and handed the fingernail space to Laplace, who protected the Ruo Fa Water and stored it in Silver Forest Space with the Ning Tai avatar.
• Angel examined Luno’s silver teleportation disk while Laplace studied the intact mural behind the throne, which showed an Otaoan walking toward a door as black matter swept across the scene.

Angel was swallowed by the gate depicted in the mural and entered a Transcendent Dimension, where he found a glowing gate in a world of darkness. He approached it, sensing that he should pass through, while the mural’s connection to his experience remained unexplained.

• Laplace found no hidden compartments or secrets in the mural, and Angel agreed that its simple images were difficult to interpret.
• Angel proposed that the mural depicted the ruins’ master’s life, but Laplace noted that the black matter flowed out of the gate, undermining his interpretation.
• Angel sensed the mural’s gate growing closer, and when he tried to reproduce the experience, it swallowed him after the Outer Eye warmed against his chest.
• Angel realized he had entered a Transcendent Dimension and saw a glowing gate in a dark world.
• Angel recognized that his journey resembled the mural’s scene and moved toward the gate, feeling he should enter it.

Angel experienced a vision in which he entered a glowing gate in a higher dimension, and a white light fused with the Void Illusion Gate in his mind space. After returning, he saw the mural’s figure enter the gate, but the mural soon became ordinary, leaving him and Laplace to seek answers from Luno.

• Angel followed an inexplicable inspiration and entered the glowing gate, where white light rushed into his consciousness and returned him to his mind space.
• The white light fused with Angel’s Void Illusion Gate, and his emotional module seeped back into his mind as he sensed his physical body again.
• Angel returned to the palace and saw the crimson-gold figure in the mural walk into the gate, though Laplace had noticed no movement.
• Angel told Laplace what he had seen but withheld his experience with the Outer Eye and the Transcendent Dimension.
• Angel and Laplace decided to ask Luno about the ruins’ former owner and left to meet the maze guards.
• A fleck of paint fell from the mural’s gate, marking the beginning of its gradual return to an ordinary painting.

Angel and Laplace returned from the Mirror Vault after exploring its hidden space, where Laplace’s clones were studying Otaoan in a newly created library. After waiting for Prophet Yota’s message about the Sacred Corpse Crystals, they went to Silver Forest Space to check on the Divine Blood Clone.

• Angel and Laplace returned to the main tomb chamber, where the maze guards welcomed them and the captain offered them a crystal for Prophet Yota to track them if needed.
• The captain relayed Yota’s message that the Sacred Corpse Crystals were nearly ready, and Angel and Laplace agreed to wait; Angel drank the guards’ icy Frostbite Tea while they waited.
• Angel and Laplace left the Mirror Vault and returned to the fiftieth floor of Ring Fortress, where the maze guards went back to their posts.
• Angel and Laplace went to Silver Forest Space, where Angel found the library full of Laplace’s clones studying Otaoan and saw Thundercloud Zeus expressing affection for its name.
• Angel and Laplace arrived at the Sleeping Grounds, where Luigi was asleep and Thundercloud Zeus continued its lively display.

Angel met the Divine Blood Clone at the tea table and learned that she was preparing a blessing ritual that would prevent her from speaking and bring a side effect she considered serious. After the ritual began, Angel was transported with Laplace to the Divine Blood Clone’s former home, where the Temple of Rigor opened to reveal her divine statue.

• Angel tried to pet Thundercloud Zeus, was shocked, and heard it promise to control its electricity next time.
• The Divine Blood Clone arrived with blood-red ritual patterns covering her face, and Laplace explained that she could not speak while preparing her blessing.
• Angel learned that the blessing’s side effect seemed ordinary to outsiders, while the Divine Blood Clone considered it extremely serious.
• The Void Shadow Clone offered new intelligence about Blood Calamity, but the Divine Blood Clone insisted on performing the blessing first.
• Laplace transported Angel to the Temple of Rigor, where she explained that its statues honored rigorous believers and the Divine Blood Clone’s godhood.
• The temple gates opened, revealing the Divine Blood Clone’s towering white divine statue.

Angel received a blessing from the Divine Blood Clone after requesting help with research, but the blessing could only be established when limited to his next spell-research session. Back in the Silver Forest Space, the Divine Blood Clone tried to speak and could produce only unintelligible sounds.

• Laplace explained the Meticulous God of Error Correction’s origins and why gods struggled to understand mortals.
• Angel asked to receive a blessing related to conducting research rather than combat.
• The Divine Blood Clone’s first two proposed blessings were rejected as unreasonable or insufficiently rigorous.
• The Divine Blood Clone established a blessing granting Angel unparalleled intuition when he next began researching spells.
• Angel returned to the Tea Party in the Silver Forest Space, where the Divine Blood Clone lost the ability to speak intelligibly.
