• The right half of the scene and Lu Cang’s body abruptly disappeared, though he could still feel his missing half.

Lu Cang crossed a seam between void and reality into Deep Earth, where he found himself back on Earth in his ordinary body, with his powers severely weakened. Believing the airport was about to be destroyed, he escaped outside to investigate what had happened there.

• Lu Cang used Izpalut’s Origin Magic to restore his body and crossed a golden seam into a gray realm, where Ansu suggested he had entered Deep Earth.

• Lu Cang decided to leave the airport before the explosion he remembered and ran through the terminal using his weakened techniques.
• Lu Cang exited the airport and continued running, but soon grew exhausted in his frail body.

Lu Cang found himself back on a peaceful Earth on the day he expected to transmigrate, and spent the evening reconnecting with his parents while trying to understand whether the world was real. After sleeping in a hotel, he woke to find himself still there, with no sign of the ritual array from the Earth he remembered.

• Lu Cang ran away from the airport and waited until night, but the airport never exploded and nothing happened.

• Lu Cang woke from a vivid dream and found himself still on a different Earth, where the ritual array was nowhere to be found.

Lu Cang returned from Luluwei’s mindscape with a message from his simulated self pointing to a crack between reality and illusion as the cure for her Spiritual Pollution. Meanwhile, Future Simulation failed to end on Earth, leaving him uncertain what had happened.

• On Earth, Lu Cang reflected on how entering Deep Earth had felt compelled and waited for the simulation to end.
• Back on Moonfall Island, Lu Cang realized that looking into the crack in Luluwei’s mindscape had corrupted his own spiritual power and changed his emotions.
• Lu Cang embraced the corruption as “purity” and used Memory Melt to erase his memories while leaving himself a message to explore the crack and cure Luluwei.
• After Future Simulation ended, Lu Cang remembered the message and planned to knock Luluwei out and enter the crack in her mindscape.
• On Earth, Lu Cang boarded a plane and realized that a full day had passed but Future Simulation had not ended.

Ansu found himself back in his dynasty at the moment before Pure White destroyed it, while Lu Cang investigated a dangerous phenomenon in Luluwei’s Sea of Consciousness. Lu Cang discovered that sealing a rift only caused another to open, and decided to ask Ansu about the Deep Earth.

• Ansu stood in his restored dynasty, recalled that Pure White’s arrival had destroyed it, and wondered why he had returned in peak condition.
• Luluwei reflected on winning the War God Cup and gaining strength from what she remembered as a dream, while wondering whether Lu Cang had truly existed.

• Lu Cang sealed more rifts, each of which was replaced by another showing a different location, and realized the rifts led toward the Deep Earth.
• Lu Cang stopped exploring and decided to leave Luluwei’s Sea of Consciousness to ask Ansu what the Deep Earth was.

Ansu explained that Deep Earth was a real world where people could revisit their regrets, and said Luluwei’s spirit had entered it with no way back. As Luluwei woke, Ansu warned Lu Cang that something dangerous had corrupted her mindscape and urged him to kill her.

• Lu Cang asked Ansu about the boundary between reality and unreality, and Ansu identified it as Deep Earth, where unreal worlds appeared.
• Ansu recounted how he had once challenged Moon Star to reach level 10, only for Moon Star’s power to destroy the Ansu Dynasty.
• Ansu told Lu Cang that Deep Earth offered a chance to make regrets right, but that no one knew what happened to the self left behind in the real world.
• Ansu concluded that Luluwei’s spirit had entered Deep Earth and could not be saved, while her body remained corrupted in the mindscape.
• Luluwei began to wake, and Ansu urged Lu Cang to kill her before whatever lurked in her mindscape could become a danger.

Lu Cang discovered that Luluwei’s Black Secret book contained the ritual that had corrupted her, then killed her despite Leng Qingying’s protests. Luluwei’s death released the darkness inside her, which spread across the Moon Sea and began to affect Lu Cang’s sea of consciousness.

• Lu Cang examined Luluwei’s Black Secret book and used Secret Origin to uncover its Creators and hidden teachings about the Deep Earth and Foul Source Nest.

• Black smoke and liquid burst from Luluwei’s corpse, turning the nearby Moon Sea dark and beginning to darken Lu Cang’s sea of consciousness.

Lu Cang faced a vast pupil that corrupted his mental sea and unleashed a soul-less imitation of Luluwei, so he charged back to attack it. The pupil then altered his perception, but Lu Cang struck the figure he saw as his mother, leaving its fate unclear.

• As corruption spread through Lu Cang and Leng Qingying, Lu Cang fled Moonfall Island and realized the enormous pupil had been watching him.
• The pupil opened a doorway and brought out a slime-covered, soulless Luluwei, while Foul Worms poured down toward Moonfall Island.
• Lu Cang built momentum, rushed back toward the pupil, and prepared to strike after poisoning the surrounding seawater with God-Tier Disaster of Poison.
• The pupil made Lu Cang see his mother, Li Youxiang, in place of the monster, but he swung his battle spear and exploded the figure into blood mist.

Lu Cang fought Luluwei’s domain, which trapped him in scenes of killing people he believed were illusions. After destroying the Earth within the domain, he learned from Ansu that he might have to endure until the domain ran out of power, then faced a memory involving Leng Qingying.

• Lu Cang rejected the vision of his father and stabbed Lu Zhenghang, after which the scene shifted to Wuyue Plaza, where his parents appeared to be real victims of his violence.
• Lu Cang unleashed lightning that destroyed the Earth in the illusion, but Luluwei appeared and claimed he had killed his real parents.
