Chapter Summaries

The Speaker revealed that Heinz had trapped them in a simulated world and offered Landon a chance to join him, but Landon rejected him and accused him of prolonging the Federation's war. The Speaker attacked with a colossal star, and Landon used Dark Raven's Rule Power of decay to break it apart before it could strike the palace.

• The Speaker explained that Heinz had created a simulated world with its own operating rules and said the elf His Eminences were trapped in Heinz's Virtual World fighting endless enemies.

• Landon rejected the offer and accused the Speaker of supporting the Rebel Army, prolonging the war, and using the Construct Network to control people.
• The Speaker smashed his goblet, vanished from the throne, and sent a blazing White Star plunging toward the great hall.
• Landon flew up to meet the star and used Dark Raven's Rule Power of decay to erode it into blazing fragments that crashed around the palace.

Landon rescued the Elf Ninth Rank Experts from the Speaker’s Virtual Worlds with Little Black’s power, but neither he nor the elves could locate the Speaker’s true body. The Speaker revealed countless blissful spiritual bodies worshipping a newly appeared sun across the metallic earth.

• The Speaker attacked Landon with falling stars, and Landon headed for the Chaos Storms while Dark Raven protected Anvis and the others.

• The Speaker caused a brilliant sun to appear, revealing pale spiritual bodies worshipping it among the High Towers and spreading his will across the earth.

Landon confronted Lolan XV, who revealed that the spirit bodies and the Demiplane formed his vision of God's Kingdom, with human consciousnesses joined through the Construct Network. As the Speaker’s power overwhelmed Landon and the ninth-rank Elves, Anvis realized they were facing the Construct Network itself.

• Landon accused Lolan XV of deceiving people into construct transformation, but the Speaker claimed they had chosen it freely and that it would free humanity from death and the Ceiling Wall.
• Landon and the ninth-rank Elves prepared to attack the revealed sun, but the Speaker linked it to the spirit bodies and introduced the place as God's Kingdom.

• Anvis recognized that the Speaker had become the Construct Network and that Landon and the Elves were confronting a collective consciousness formed from millions of wills.

Anvis concluded that defeating the Speaker required breaking his connection to the Construct Network, while Landon and the Ninth Rank Elves were trapped and overpowered in the Virtual World. 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.

• Anvis identified the Speaker’s true body and Heinz as possible ways to break the Speaker’s unity with the Construct Network, then summoned the Floating City with Bohemia’s help.

• The Speaker described a society of assigned roles and virtual lives, but Landon rejected it for denying people freedom.
• Landon secretly asked Dark Crow to send Lia, Anvis, and the others away, and the Speaker prepared to kill him before sensing something beyond the world.

The Speaker tried to lure the Circle of Truth’s Floating City into the Demiplane so he could suppress it, but its arrival disrupted Heinz and forced him to attack. Anvis had used the Floating City to intrude on Heinz’s isolated Construct Network, turning the confrontation into a battle to crash the Virtual World.

• The Speaker sensed the Circle of Truth’s Floating City approaching and weakened the Demiplane’s barrier to entice it inside.
• The Floating City stopped halfway through its descent and anchored itself to the spatial barrier, causing Heinz’s synchronization rate to fall.
• The Speaker unleashed his power and sent the sun he had become crashing toward a black spot that expanded and blocked its light.
• Landon and Dark Crow watched the Floating City withstand the Speaker’s attack, while Anvis used the Vio Avatar and Old Days Secret Scripture to locate the Demiplane and reach it through the Dream Dimension.
• Anvis revealed that the Floating City’s connection to the Demiplane let him intrude on Heinz’s isolated Virtual World, where the Speaker’s power could not prevent the network attack from causing the world to disappear.

As Anvis and the Federal Speaker battled through the Construct Network, Landon searched for a way to help the Circle of Truth. A distorted beam of Divine Power killed Vio Your Excellency while he protected Lia, and Landon called on the Book of Yellow Robe for power.

• 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.

• Vio Your Excellency shielded Lia from the sunlight with his body, exhausting his protective amulets before turning to ash.
• Landon mourned Vio Your Excellency, confronted the sun with hatred, and agreed to the Book of Yellow Robe's offer of power.

After Vio Your Excellency's apparent death, Landon accepted the incomplete Yellow Mark and used its power to wound the Speaker and destabilize the Virtual World. The Speaker then sacrificed his true body, breaking the Elves' seal and reconnecting the Construct Network to the Main Material World.

• Landon accepted the incomplete Yellow Mark to avenge Vio Your Excellency, revealing that the supposed underground journey had actually led upward through Heinz's false world.
• Landon used the Mark to resist the Speaker's power, but the Speaker glimpsed the figure in the yellow robe and was overwhelmed by forbidden knowledge as the Virtual World began to collapse.

• Anvis exploited the Speaker's weakened state and expanded his attack through the Virtual World.
• The Speaker burned his true body and triggered an explosion that broke the Elves' seal, reconnecting the Construct Network to the Main Material World.

After the Federal Speaker sacrificed his body and merged with the Construct Network, forbidden information spread through its users, leaving many mutated and unconscious. Anvis realized the Speaker had become a vast Construct Sky Net and that he had little time before the Speaker recovered and destroyed him.

• The Last Dragonborn livestreamed the crimson sky in Loran Royal Capital as Players joked about his connection to the Blackfeather princess.
• The crimson sky split open, revealing a black void filled with darkness and gray lightning, and the ninth-rank Elves feared the situation had become uncontrollable.
• Seymour transmitted what had happened in the Demiplane to the remaining Elves, then teleported away with the injured survivors.
• As the Construct Network reconnected, the Federal Speaker spread forbidden information across its users, causing many people wearing Construct Headbands to mutate and collapse.
• Anvis assessed that Heinz, the Construct Headbands, and the Speaker’s disembodied will had formed a Construct Sky Net, leaving him little time before the Speaker recovered.

Anvis abandoned his plan to kill the Speaker after Landon’s trump card summoned an Outer Deity, then escaped as the Holy Radiance Church intervened against the spreading contamination. 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.
• In the Lolan Kingdom’s capital, the Last Dragonborn livestreamed as Construct Headband users mutated from contamination spreading through the network.
• A Holy Radiance Church Archbishop’s light calmed the mutations and unrest, while priests and nuns used the miracle to proselytize.
• Three more Light Orbs appeared, and Yanile Bishop, transformed into a Saint, charged into the Demiplane to confront the Speaker.
• Yanile returned and told Saint Arbiter Yorgensen that the contaminated Speaker might awaken if the Church could purify him.

The Holy Radiance Church purified the Construct Network’s Alien God contamination, restoring the Federal Speaker’s awareness before confronting him over his scheme. As the Speaker began to lose their battle, he scattered into countless stars that entered the bodies of network connectors.

• Saint Arbiter Yorgensen, Yanile, and two other church Ascetics purified the contamination from the Construct Network.
• The Federal Speaker regained his clarity and realized that Landon’s interference had exposed and ruined his plan to use the Construct Network to become Legendary.
• Yorgensen accused the Speaker of spreading forbidden contamination and ordered the church to defeat him and seal the Alien God’s relic.
• The Speaker and the church fought across the Federation while most Ninth Rank Experts stayed out of the conflict.
• As the weakened Speaker began to falter, he disintegrated into countless stars that slipped past Yanile and entered the bodies of network connectors.

Last Dragonborn explained that the battlefield was inside an enemy’s body as the Speaker’s assault threatened Yorgensen and the Federation. Aulassian arrived with spells prepared to counter the contaminated Heinz Sub-body, while Anvis watched the battle enter its final stage.

• Last Dragonborn told his livestream audience that they were inside an enemy’s body, and many players logged off or attacked the sky for battle experience.

• Mystic Seeker Orvanni revealed that Star Gazer had prepared spells to counter the contaminated Heinz Sub-body.
• Anvis watched from the Dream World as the Old Days Secret Scripture stirred, though he judged it too early to Seal the powerful existence.

The Holy Radiance Church and the Continental Magic Council destroyed the Federal Speaker’s Construct Network, but could not confirm whether he had survived. Anvis’s Old Days Secret Scripture revealed the Federal Speaker’s hidden link to all Construct Humans, absorbed his remaining existence, and returned to Anvis.

• The Holy Radiance Church and the Continental Magic Council invoked the Peace Agreement to destroy the Federal Speaker’s will and collapse the Demiplane containing the Heinz Sub-body.
• The Federal Speaker stopped resisting and vowed to return, while Yorgensen questioned whether he was truly dead and Orvanni admitted he could not divine his fate.

• The Old Days Secret Scripture closed and returned to Anvis after capturing the Federal Speaker’s final concept of existence.

Anvis sealed the Federal Speaker with the Old Days Secret Scripture, revealing the Circle of Truth to the assembled forces. While the Holy Radiance Church prepared an ambush, Anvis was distracted by his sudden perception of the Sea of Origin and summoned the Themis Colossus to protect his Avatar.

• The witnesses recognized the Circle of Truth emblem on Anvis's robe, and Yorgensen judged the organization a major threat to the Holy Radiance Church.
• Yorgensen secretly urged Yanile to help ambush Anvis and seize the Old Days Secret Scripture.
• Anvis received a warning from Yanile through the Twisted Seed and struggled to control his Avatar while power from the Secret Scripture let him perceive the Sea of Origin.
• Anvis raised his hand and summoned the Themis Colossus, which emerged from a spatial rift and aimed its Annihilation Cannon at Yorgensen.
• Yorgensen kept to the ambush plan, counting on Yanile and Sky City to help eliminate the Circle of Truth.

The Continental Magic Council sided with the Circle of Truth, allowing Anvis to escape into the Dream World with the Old Days Secret Scripture. Guided deeper into the Sea of Origin, Anvis found a severed tentacle whose exposed rules could let him break through to the ninth rank.

• Mystic Seeker Orvanni told Saint Arbiter Yorgensen to stand down and warned that the Magic Council would oppose an attack on the Circle of Truth.
• Anvis entered the Dream World passage with the Old Days Secret Scripture while the Church and Magic Council watched one another.
• Yorgensen teleported back to the Saint Messiah Empire with Yanile and the two Ascetics, intending to report the Circle of Truth's alliance with the Magic Council to the Pope.
• Anvis handed control of the Floating City to Tower Spirit Bohemia and followed his Mystic Art mark deeper into the Sea of Origin.
• Anvis found a fissure in a colossal silver-gray tentacle and realized that comprehending its exposed rules could help him reach the ninth rank.

Anvis condensed the Mystery Rule Ring but chose not to use it for his ninth-rank breakthrough while he tested Hill’s influence and assessed the continent’s threats. 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 threats facing him and concluded that his allies and the collapse of hostile factions had largely secured his position on the continent.

• Anvis returned to the Main Material World to assess the continent and prepare for Origin City after learning that Claire and the others were nearing the Silver Key Door.

Anvis met with Prince Lanno, whose sudden rise had made him a serious contender for the imperial throne, and they discussed their ambitions and the Olyvendi Family’s future. After Lanno left, Anvis discovered that the Guardian of Stars had deliberately revealed its presence, underscoring the Guardian’s support for Lanno.

• Lanno visited Anvis at Pamir Academy and described how his alliance with the Top Diviner, the Guardian of Stars, and the Glory Alliance had made him a contender for the throne.
• Lanno admired Anvis’s leisurely life, while Anvis told him their goals differed and that he sought to protect himself and those he cherished.
• Lanno promised that if he became Gloria IV, the Olyvendi Family would continue to exist.
• After Lanno departed, Anvis caught and examined a lingering wisp of the Guardian of Stars’ aura, recognizing that it had deliberately made its presence known.
• Anvis recalled that the Guardian of Stars backed Lanno and the New Nobles, while the Heart of Darkness supported First Prince Ferdinand.

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.
• Marquis Vent and Marquis Poloqi discussed Anvis’s motives and whether his closeness to Fiona could disrupt their plan to capture her.
• Marquis Vent sent an Eternal Gold Invitation into the Dream World to contact the Circle of Truth.
• Bohemia, the Floating City's Tower Spirit, presented the invitation to Anvis, who studied it.

Anvis sent an Avatar to meet the mysterious figures who invited the Circle of Truth to join an operation against Fiona. After they questioned him about awakening a Great Existence, the gathered factions agreed to discuss their plan together.

• 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.
• The Avatar arrived at a hidden dream scene and met three robed figures, who failed to trace him back to Anvis’s true self.
• 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.
