Chapter Summaries

Xu Huo and Nie Xuan tested the dangerous fissure into a chaotic space and found they could only guide a drone 459 meters inside. Since they still had some ability to manipulate the Space Rays, Nie Xuan prepared to enter with three teammates while the others waited for equipment.

• Yu Qingqing admitted that Bao Yu had entered the fissure first and asked Xu Huo to rescue him if possible while prioritizing his own safety.
• Xu Huo and Nie Xuan examined the recordings and judged that chaotic Space Power or another force had destroyed the surveillance device.
• Xu Huo and Nie Xuan guided a modified drone through the fissure, but lost control of it after about two hundred meters.
• The drone traveled 459 meters before its video feed went black, while Xu Huo and Nie Xuan confirmed they could manipulate the Space Rays for part of the way.
• Nie Xuan chose Sha Chuan, Wei Xiaoyi, and Tian Zhengjiang to enter with him, gave Xu Huo a special Communicator, and told the others to contact them after the Special Defense Department brought equipment.

Xu Huo and Nie Xuan led a small team into a fog-filled Chaos Space, where their Communicators failed but the game platform still worked. As they explored an ancient-looking city, Xu Huo sensed something watching them.

• Xu Huo followed Nie Xuan and three others into the Chaos Space, where heavy pressure from the Space Rays made progress difficult.
• The team found buildings that the monitor dated to at least two hundred years old, and Nie Xuan noted that old cities were common across the game’s Sub-districts.
• They discovered that their Communicators could not reach anyone outside, though the game platform remained available.
• The group examined the city’s grand, heavily carved buildings, and Xu Huo noticed an eye motif above one entrance that seemed connected to spiritual power.
• At the site where the monitor had been destroyed, the team found neither wreckage nor members of 'Unpredictable,' and Xu Huo grabbed Nie Xuan’s shoulder, warning that something was watching them.

Xu Huo and his companions discovered that an eye-shaped design on the porches was trapping them in a space where they could not retreat and made them feel watched. They debated whether to press forward or disturb the surrounding Space Rays, and Xu Huo proposed carefully shifting smaller spatial masses to explore nearby buildings.

• Nie Xuan checked his shifting-sand item, but it showed only the five companions; Xu Huo nevertheless sensed that something was watching them and ordered an immediate retreat.
• Xu Huo and Nie Xuan each moved their groups two hundred meters, but both times they found themselves back at the same porch.
• The group tested walking forward and returning, then traveled farther until Xu Huo found another porch bearing an eye and concluded that it was causing the interference and preventing them from leaving.
• Xu Huo warned Nie Xuan that the growing mental interference made continuing dangerous, while disturbing the surrounding Space Rays could trigger a chain reaction.
• Xu Huo suggested shifting smaller spatial masses and exploring the nearby buildings instead of forcing their way through the larger barriers.

Xu Huo and the others debated the danger of mental interference and shifting spatial bodies before splitting up to explore the palace. Xu Huo took Wei Xiaoyi with him, and the chapter ended with her helping him move a spatial body while he warned her about nearby Space Rays.

• Xu Huo suggested that the eye patterns might be watching them, but Nie Xuan and the others doubted his theory and warned that disturbing spatial bodies could trigger destructive collisions.
• Xu Huo proposed splitting up and using their Personal Panels to keep in contact, and Nie Xuan asked Wei Xiaoyi to accompany him.
• Xu Huo and Wei Xiaoyi entered a palace, where the sensation of being watched stopped at the threshold.
• Wei Xiaoyi speculated that the vast, sparsely furnished palaces had been built for gods rather than residents.
• Xu Huo asked about Wei Xiaoyi's spatial Evolution and auxiliary item, then invited her to help push a spatial body aside.
• Wei Xiaoyi pushed where Xu Huo directed her as he cautioned her about sharp objects formed by Rays nearby.

Xu Huo and Wei Xiaoyi navigated a chaotic space where dense spatial bodies, mental interference, and signs of Time Power appeared. They entered a preserved scene of the past and overheard worshippers discussing divine eyes said to grant miracles, including restoring youth.

• Xu Huo tried to connect his Space Ray to a dense spatial body but failed to alter it.
• Wei Xiaoyi photographed the space, and she and Xu Huo wondered whether its spatial bodies formed naturally or through battles between Super Players.
• Sunlight and a bustling city scene appeared, and Xu Huo told Wei Xiaoyi the Chaos Space was real rather than a simple illusion.
• Wei Xiaoyi activated instruments that let the passing figures move through her like shadows, while Xu Huo recognized the scene as a fragment preserved from another time.
• Xu Huo and Wei Xiaoyi entered a palace and overheard worshippers discussing divine eyes that could supposedly cure illness and restore youth.

Xu Huo and Wei Xiaoyi traveled through the religious city as violent space bodies began colliding across it, forcing Xu Huo to fight his way through while Wei Xiaoyi disappeared from sight. He continued onward and saw a time fragment of a masked Divine Envoy being worshiped by a crowd of believers.

• Xu Huo and Wei Xiaoyi followed the streets past the mostly empty palaces of the Nine Divine Paths.
• A surge of space bodies crushed the time fragments and began demolishing the city, so Xu Huo pulled Wei Xiaoyi into a palace for shelter.
• Xu Huo carried Wei Xiaoyi through the collapsing streets, but the Space Power shattered his defenses and wounded his arm.
• Xu Huo told Wei Xiaoyi to prepare her Ticket and leave, then pushed her away from an incoming space body and fought on alone.
• Xu Huo continued through the city amid the ongoing collisions and saw a time fragment of believers praising a masked middle-aged Divine Envoy.

Xu Huo crossed the residential outskirts of the Nine Divine Paths and learned that Nie Xuan remained deeper inside after Tian Zhengjiang died and Sha Chuan and Wei Xiaoyi escaped. A vision showed a blue-eyed young man asking about the divine eyes, and Xu Huo continued onward, considering whether he could use Cube Space in the quieter area.

• Xu Huo reached the residential outskirts, where fewer spatial entities floated near the ground, and rested after hours of struggling through them.
• Xu Huo learned from messages that Tian Zhengjiang had died, Sha Chuan and Wei Xiaoyi had escaped, and Nie Xuan was still heading deeper inside.
• A new scene showed a blue-eyed young man buying flowers from a boy and asking about the divine eyes at the Great Temple.
• The young man headed toward the Nine Divine Paths before the vision dissolved into gray mist.
• Xu Huo continued away from the Nine Divine Paths and considered using Cube Space in the residential area.

Xu Huo tested the Cube Space against nearby space entities but could not control the crystallized Space Rays. With Angel's Eyes, he clearly perceived Time Rays and found that he could affect them, leaving him with the discovery that time could only move backward.

• Xu Huo released the Cube Space, which enclosed three nearby space entities and caused dense rays to crystallize around them.
• Xu Huo spent nearly half an hour trying to control the new Space Rays, then stopped after failing to manipulate them.
• Xu Huo took out Angel's Eyes and perceived the Time Rays as long, evenly distributed lines passing through the space.
• Xu Huo swept his hand near three Time Rays, making time accelerate around him and restoring the blue-eyed man to the street as he walked toward them again.
• Xu Huo realized that time could move backward but not forward.

Xu Huo retraced the past at the Nine Divine Paths and witnessed a Divine Eye appear on a temple doorway, provoking a mental attack that pulled him into a dangerous spatial disturbance. He destroyed the doorway eye and fled as the expanding shock waves chased him through the Chaos Space.

• Xu Huo used Angel's Eyes and Time Power to retrace fragments of the past, then returned to the Nine Divine Paths to search for recorded scenes.
• Xu Huo witnessed believers discuss the Divine Envoy as an eye appeared on a temple doorway, and the eye's mental pressure revealed that other Divine Eyes were watching him.
• Space Power suddenly displaced Xu Huo, and the carved eyes invaded his Spiritual World, multiplying as they searched for its core.
• Xu Huo forced a nearby space body into the temple doors, crushing the doorway eye, then fled while keeping his Spiritual World open and using Cube Space.
• After more than ten minutes of flight, Xu Huo was still being pursued by shock waves when a figure appeared on the street ahead.

Xu Huo found Bao Yu dead in the Chaos Space and realized that Time Rays could age a person into ash in an instant. He continued toward the depths of the Nine Divine Paths, while the injured Nie Xuan struggled through ruins on the other side.

• Xu Huo approached Bao Yu’s motionless body and found no visible injuries, suspecting that Time Power had killed him.
• Bao Yu’s corpse cracked apart and disintegrated into ash after Xu Huo nudged a ray in the air.
• Xu Huo gathered Bao Yu’s belongings and realized that Time Rays could rapidly age a person, leaving him vulnerable despite being able to sense them.
• Xu Huo used an image preserved by Time Power to confirm his direction and continued into the gray fog with Angel's Eyes on his back.
• Nie Xuan dragged his injured leg through ruins on the other side of the Nine Divine Paths, using a prop to check for Time Power.

Nie Xuan used a rare Time Power detection instrument to cautiously advance through the Nine Divine Paths, while Xu Huo moved more easily through the Time Rays with his Spiritual World. As Xu Huo considered the Divine Eye’s promised ability to restore youth, he concluded that reversing a person’s time seemed impossible.

• Nie Xuan obtained a scarce A-class instrument for detecting Time Power because no known instrument could interfere with it.
• Nie Xuan continued through the Nine Divine Paths despite his shrinking spatial perception, using his crystalized legs to withstand a Time Ray.
• Nie Xuan cautiously surveyed the path and checked on Xu Huo, who remained somewhere ahead among the moving spatial bodies.
• Xu Huo used Angel's Eyes and his Spiritual World to shape Time Rays and travel through the path with relative ease.
• Xu Huo examined past images of the Divine Eye’s wonders and reasoned that restoring youth would require reversing time, which seemed impossible.

Xu Huo reached the ruined central temple and used a Space Ray to see it before its destruction. He witnessed the blue-eyed man confront two Divine Envoys over their tomb and the Origin Stones, leaving the man’s identity revealed as Carmen Field.

• Xu Huo reached the central temple and found its gates, interior, and dais shattered.
• Xu Huo set time in motion with a Space Ray and saw the temple intact before its destruction.
• A blue-eyed man challenged two Divine Envoys for building a grand tomb and keeping the divine eyes for themselves.
• The Divine Envoys produced two Origin Stones, but the blue-eyed man controlled them with fine threads and began drawing out their power.
• The two Divine Envoys shouted the blue-eyed man’s name: Carmen Field.

Xu Huo recognized Carmen Field, the legendary Super Player, in a fragment from two hundred years earlier and watched him fight two Divine Envoys with Spacetime Rays. Xu Huo continued activating nearby Time Rays to follow the battle, but the fragments only revealed pieces of its chaotic final moments and aftermath.

• The Divine Envoy identified the young man as Carmen Field, and Xu Huo recognized him as the Field family's famed Morning Star and former owner of Field Battle Angel.
• Carmen Field trapped the two Divine Envoys in spatial barriers and sent Time Rays through the temple dome, destroying gems, stones, and followers caught in the beams.
• Carmen Field stopped the Time Rays, and Xu Huo left the temple to activate another nearby ray and resume the fragment from two hundred years earlier.
• Xu Huo saw the Divine Envoys join the battle, controlling spatial bodies and using Time Rays to hunt Carmen Field across the city.
• Xu Huo followed more Time Rays as the battle ended in chaotic clashes of Rainbow Light and fine rain, but he could not clearly see its final moments.

Xu Huo studied how Carmen Field and others controlled Space Rays, then tried to imitate Carmen's method of subdividing them. His observations of Time Rays led him to conclude that time could connect across dimensions while Space Power remained confined to each space.

• Xu Huo gave up searching for Carmen Field and focused on learning to control Space Rays.
• Xu Huo attempted to subdivide Space Rays by studying the surrounding space and structures Carmen Field had created, but he failed to reproduce Carmen's method.
• Xu Huo examined the five-ray connection Carmen Field used with the Origin Stone and took out Angel's Eyes.
• Xu Huo inspected a Time Ray from a distance and reflected on Carmen Field's comment about a nearby space where time flowed more slowly.
• Xu Huo concluded that Time Rays could connect to other spaces and cross dimensions, unlike the stable Space Power within a single space.

Xu Huo learned to subdivide Time Rays, which let him control them more precisely and direct the recording ability of "Angel's Eyes." After noticing an unusual Time Ray in the area, he investigated it briefly before turning his attention to the Space Rays.

• Xu Huo recalled how Time Rays could connect to other dimensions and affect the flow of time, then considered what made the rays inside the Origin Stone different.
• Xu Huo remembered a lesson about imagining the structure of things too small to perceive and used it to split a Time Ray into finer units.
• Xu Huo connected subdivided Time Rays to the Origin Stone and learned that finer subdivisions made him more sensitive to the rays and able to control them more precisely.
• Xu Huo used "Angel's Eyes" to record and replay events around a thrown stone by holding the Time Rays in that area.
• Xu Huo sensed an unusual Time Ray strike a nearby street, found dust where it had passed, and watched the ray vanish before returning his attention to the Space Rays.

Xu Huo refined his control of Space Rays at the Evolution site but struggled to assimilate them with the rays inside objects. After Nie Xuan revealed his injured, diamond-like foot and asked for help bringing others to the site, Xu Huo named his price and continued practicing, making progress with pulverization and nested cubes.

• Xu Huo used refined Space Rays to collapse half a ruined temple, then tried and failed to assimilate the rays inside objects.
• Xu Huo replied to Nie Xuan's photo of his injured, diamond-like foot and learned that Nie Xuan had reached the end of the Nine Divine Paths.
• Nie Xuan asked Xu Huo to help the Special Defense Department bring people to the Evolution site, and Xu Huo demanded at least three high-level Time items or an A-class item in exchange.
• Xu Huo studied Super Evolution notes and practiced controlling more Space Rays, eventually pulverizing small objects and skillfully manipulating Ms. Gong's nested cubes.

Xu Huo practiced controlling Space Rays, agreed to let the Special Defense Department use North Wind Safe Zone as collateral for three time props, and asked for a list of Players with special Evolutions. As the military and Special Defense Department prepared candidates to enter Chaos Space, Yu Qingqing objected to being sidelined, then information about the place leaked.

• Xu Huo tested his improved Space Ray control by forming layered cubes and crushing stones, then learned the Special Defense Department would provide an IOU backed by ownership of North Wind Safe Zone.
• Xu Huo accepted the Safe Zone as collateral, requested a list of Players with special Evolutions, and asked the Special Defense Department to bring Zhou Ning to him.
• The Special Defense Department and military debated Xu Huo's requests, selected candidates in three groups, and placed Zhou Ning in the first group.
• Yu Qingqing demanded that two members of Moody join the first group, but the Special Defense Department assigned her to the second group instead.
• Yu Qingqing accused the Special Defense Department of excluding talented Players from organizations, and information about Chaos Space leaked.

As Players gathered outside Chaos Space, Xu Huo arranged to bring selected Super Evolvers and special Ability Players inside. He pulled nine people through the entrance and led them onward, warning them about the dangers and the chance to evolve.

• The Special Defense Department publicized the Chaos Space operation and allowed qualified Super Evolvers to join under its instructions.
• Yu Qingqing rebuked a Player who mocked her connections and later messaged Xu Huo while the group waited.
• Xu Huo instructed the Players to use their Evolution powers and separate those with special Abilities before entering.
• Xu Huo used a Space Passage to pull Yu Qingqing, Da Yu, three military and Special Defense Department Super Evolvers, a masked Player, Zhou Ning, Wang Chaoqing, and another special Ability Evolver into Chaos Space.
• Xu Huo warned the group about mental interference and shifting Space and Time Powers, then told them to follow him in two lines.

Xu Huo led the group through the Chaos Space toward the Central Temple, then stopped so they could practice sensing space and time. A warning from Cong Yu about a golden-eyed tracker made Xu Huo suspect the box Yan Jiayu was moving had been targeted, while Wang Chaoqing’s unusual Ability prompted Xu Huo to consider that it might count as a form of Mental Evolution.

• Xu Huo defended his decision to bring a broad mix of Players into the Chaos Space, telling the Super Evolvers that no one deserved priority and urging everyone to focus on evolving.
• Xu Huo explained that Bao Yu had been turned to ash by a special Time Ray, then led the group along a safer route toward the Central Temple.
• Yu Qingqing and Da Yu reached their limits from the mental force, so Xu Huo stopped the group and told them to practice sensing space and time while he watched over them.
• Cong Yu warned Xu Huo that a golden-eyed Player who had been tracking Yi Jun was now looking for him, and Xu Huo suspected the tracker might be following the box that would not fit in his Storage Compartment.
• Xu Huo asked Yan Jiayu to move the box and warned her to be careful, but she did not respond before he returned his attention to the group.
• Wang Chaoqing described how his shadow could return with fragmentary memories of what it had seen, and Xu Huo considered that the Ability might be a form of Mental Evolution.

Xu Huo opened his Spiritual World to let the group study the Spacetime Rays, revealing the mental-power struggle he endured and demonstrating how space and time behaved. Three people began to make progress before the session ended.

• A Super Evolver from the Special Defense Department went berserk, and Xu Huo had him sedated after Wang Chaoqing suspected mental-power interference.
• The group discussed the risks of remaining in Xu Huo's mental-power field, and the Player wearing a Mask agreed to let others take their turn.
• Xu Huo explained that his manifested Spacetime Rays were only his interpretation and warned the group about the difference between mental power from the Spiritual World and Chaos Space.
• Xu Huo opened his Spiritual World, where Space Portals struggled to hold back the advancing eyes formed by Chaos Space's mental power.
• Xu Huo manifested interwoven Time Rays and Space Rays and demonstrated spatial bodies, allowing two people from the country and one from a Player organization to get started.
