After rejecting the Speaker’s offer to join his new order, Landon prepared to face death, but the Speaker sensed something strange beyond the world.

• The ninth-rank Elves tried to break the Virtual World's barrier as the Circle of Truth fought the Federal Speaker, but Anvis struggled to overcome Heinz and the Construct Network.
• Lord Dark Raven told Landon that those trapped inside the Virtual World could not aid the Circle of Truth, and that escaping with his companions meant helping the Elves break through.

The chapter ended with Yanile reporting that the Speaker might awaken if the Church could purify his corrupted state.

• Anvis used the Floating City to escape the Demiplane after the Book of Yellow Robe connected with an Outer Deity, leaving the Speaker to battle the Yellow-Robed Figure.

After the Federation preserved its Construct Humans while banning the Construct Network, Anvis returned to the Main Material World and prepared to explore Origin City.

• Anvis condensed a silver-white Rule Ring of Mystery but held back from using it as the source of his ninth-rank breakthrough because of its ties to the Old Days Secret Scripture and Hill.

Anvis reviewed the Empire’s divided factions and planned to meet Ogman to use Perfect Blood before receiving a mysterious letter inviting him to a banquet in the Surface Dream World. The letter tried to provoke resentment toward Fiona, but Anvis recognized the influence of Alien God Power and remained wary of its sender.

• Anvis mapped the Empire’s competing factions and noted the Revelation Sect’s secret dealings with the Marquises and the Holy Radiance Church’s arrival in the capital.
• Anvis decided to meet Ogman and use the newly completed Perfect Blood to resolve the conflict between his bloodlines.
• A blank black envelope emerged from the void at Anvis’s residence, and he inspected it before opening it.
• The letter claimed Fiona had already been chosen as the next Head of the Olyvendi Family and invited Anvis to The Banquet in three days.
• Anvis detected Alien God Power in the letter and recognized its attempt to manipulate his feelings toward Fiona.

Anvis investigated a mysterious invitation to The Banquet, then underwent a Perfect Blood ritual that stabilized his two Legendary Bloodlines. Three days later, he entered a dream world and arrived at the castle where the banquet was to be held.

• Anvis reasoned that the letter’s Alien God influence was gradually affecting him and ordered his intelligence forces to investigate its sender and the banquet.
• Anvis’s divination warned him against tracing the powerful sender but showed that the banquet was not a trap aimed at him and was connected to an Imperial Marquis and the Hidden Sect.
• Anvis went to Ogman, who brought Perfect Blood and the ritual materials to the Floating City for the procedure.
• Ogman injected Anvis with Perfect Blood, and the day-and-a-half ritual eliminated the conflict between Anvis’s Legendary Bloodlines and improved their combined power.
• Anvis used the letter’s Dream Coordinates to enter the Dream World and arrived in the courtyard of an ancient Black Castle.

Anvis attended the Dream Banquet and learned that the Revelation Sect wanted his cooperation in targeting Fiona. While Marquis Vent arranged a second safeguard for the operation, Anvis received an invitation from the Circle of Truth and considered it.

• Anvis entered the Dream Banquet and used a Crystal Ball to ask what price the sect demanded for helping him resolve his predicament.
• The Crystal Ball told Anvis that his younger sister Fiona was the sect’s target and that he only needed to cooperate at the critical moment.

• Anvis received an unsigned invitation warning that the Revelation Sect would move against Fiona and inviting the Circle of Truth to a meeting.
• Anvis used the invitation’s coordinates to send a temporary Avatar into the dangerous depths of the Inverted Layer.

• A woman representing the Revelation Sect asked which Great Existence the Circle of Truth planned to awaken, but Anvis refused to answer directly.
• The leading figure proposed that the factions unite to plan their next move against Fiona, and the others agreed.

Anvis learned that the Star Praise Sect planned to use Fiona and hundreds of Players to hasten the return of the Daughter of the Crimson Cup, while the Marquises considered letting the Overlapping Zones expand in hopes of overcoming the barrier to Legendary. After returning to Pamir Academy, Anvis received a crystal of Desire Power and instructions to approach Fiona with it at the designated time.

• The Revelation Sect revealed that the Crimson Cup had begun awakening early and ordered a Divine Descent Ritual to investigate changes in fate.
• Anvis learned that Fiona and intermediate-rank Players could serve as vessels for divine power, and that the Star Praise Sect and the Marquises had gathered hundreds of Players for their plan.
• Marquis Vent questioned whether the Revelation Sect could be trusted, while Marquis Poloqi said the Marquises could not stop the Overlapping Zones and might benefit when their expansion removed the Ceiling Wall.
• Anvis returned to Pamir Academy after the Dream World reception and received a Diamond Purple Crystal containing the Daughter of the Crimson Cup's Desire Power.
• The being on the other side of the Crystal Ball instructed Anvis to visit Fiona with the crystal at the designated time.

• Anvis contacted Fiona and learned that a family guardian had warned her of an unknown conspiracy threatening the Olyvendi Family after First Bud Moon.
• Anvis told Fiona he would leave a magical double at Pamir Academy and secretly head to the Star Territory, and she agreed to have Annie meet him there.

• Marquis Vent provoked Olyvendi guardian Hilders with a blood-red thunderstorm while the Revelation Sect's Pope tracked Anvis's crystal through a mirror.
• The crystal's point vanished as Anvis fed it to the Old Days Secret Scripture, dispersed the tainted Avatar, and created a new one.

• Marquis Poloqi unleashed a tide of darkness west of Silver Gull City, and an Alfred Family guardian joined Hilders in holding back the attack.
• The mirror's scattered gray dots turned pale red, and a new crimson point appeared as hundreds of Players logged into Silver Gull City.

Blue Galaxy and Silver Blue Esports activated a backup crystal to summon the Daughter of the Crimson Cup into Silver Gull City. Hilders could not restrain the Blood Shadow, while attacks on both the Olyvendi and Alfred Families left the city’s defenders overwhelmed.

• Blue Galaxy confirmed that the Revelation Sect’s operation had begun and prepared Silver Blue Esports’ Players to serve as Magic Array anchors.
• Blue Galaxy activated the backup crystal, which transformed his body into a graceful blood-red figure carrying a Holy Grail of blood.

• Hilders called for help from the Alfred Family, and Barry reported that Ninth Ranks were attacking the Alfred Family elsewhere as the Olyvendi Family also came under attack.
• Marquis Vent laughed and asked Hilders why they had openly joined forces with the Revelation Sect.

Silver Gull City came under attack as Hilders fought the Daughter of the Crimson Cup’s avatar, while the Circle of Truth assaulted the Lord’s Manor. Anvis escaped with Fiona and called on Holy Son Yanile to intercept the avatar as the crisis widened across the Empire.

• Marquis Vent told Hilders that the Four Great Families had lost their purpose, while Marquis Poloqi’s darkness battered Silver Gull City’s City Protection Array.
• Hilders used an Icy Wind Crystal Bird Feather to transform and battle the Daughter of the Crimson Cup’s avatar, while Barry tried to hold off the two marquises.
