• Zhuang Hong listened over food and wine as the villager warned that Dream Weavers were dangerous but rarely harmed people without cause.

Zhuang Hong learned more about Dream Weavers and visited San De City to experience a dream at Spring Breeze Pavilion. He rejected its erotic dream options and chose “Brave the Daughter's Country.”

• Zhuang Hong heard an old man explain how Dream Weavers controlled society and how difficult it was for ordinary people to become their apprentices.

• Zhuang Hong rejected the erotic choices, learned that a custom hero-and-dragon dream would take at least five days, and selected “Brave the Daughter's Country.”

Zhuang Hong visited Spring Breeze Pavilion to experience a dream, but his overwhelming Mental Strength terrified An Dong and made him flee. After Zhuang Hong reassured him and brought him back, An Dong resumed casting the dream, and Zhuang Hong began to see the Daughter's Country.

• Zhuang Hong entered a private room while An Dong prepared to cast a dream from the room opposite.

• An Dong resumed casting his technique, and Zhuang Hong cooperated as dreamlike fragments formed into a scene.
• Zhuang Hong saw a city filled with beautiful women in disheveled clothing and recognized it as the Daughter's Country.

Zhuang Hong experienced An Dong’s Daughter’s Country dream and learned how its realistic inhabitants were shaped by the dreamer’s subconscious. He asked An Dong to teach him dream-making, then learned about Dream Weaver ranks and abilities, leaving his study of the profession underway.

• An Dong took Zhuang Hong to his courtyard, treated him to food and wine, and explained the ranks, powers, and rumored potential of Divine Kingdom Dream Weavers.

• An Dong explained that becoming a Dream Weaver required powerful Mental Strength, Intent Flow, and knowledge of Divine Perception, which was difficult to master when learned as an adult.

• Zhuang Hong concluded that his studies were progressing quickly and estimated he could complete the knowledge within a year.

Zhuang Hong went to Jiangxin Island seeking Dream Weaving knowledge, but discovered it was Round Cocoon Island, a guarded Creation Society site where hundreds of people were imprisoned. He left openly, then secretly returned to investigate the island and its captives.

• Zhuang Hong repelled the Dream Weavers' attempt to trap him, shattered the island's Dream Realm Barrier, and demonstrated his power to force them to listen.
• Zhuang Hong told the Dream Weavers he wanted to learn to advance into a Divine Kingdom Dream Weaver, but they said he was on Round Cocoon Island, not Dream Island, and ordered him to leave.
• Zhuang Hong sensed a hidden prison beneath the island and discovered hundreds of captives, many near death, along with corpses around the shore.
• The Dream Weavers' leader refused to explain the prisoners and urged Zhuang Hong to leave, so Zhuang Hong departed on a bamboo raft.
• Zhuang Hong concealed himself and flew back above Jiangxin Island, deciding to investigate the prison and its captives.

Zhuang Hong uncovered that the Creation Society used Jiangxin Island to imprison people as “Wooden Men” for Dream Weaver experiments, then killed the Dream Weavers responsible. After meeting Shi Zhongyan and his disciples, Zhuang Hong asked Shi to teach him how to become a Divine Kingdom Dream Weaver, revealing that he was only an As You Wish Dream Weaver.

• Shi Zhongyan invited Zhuang Hong to join Dawn, but Zhuang Hong declined unless Shi taught him to advance to Divine Kingdom, and Shi agreed to teach him despite his refusal to follow the organization’s rules.
• Zhuang Hong demonstrated his overwhelming Mental Strength and Golden Light Bullet, convincing Shi Zhongyan, Le Yun, and Chou Men that he possessed godlike power.
• Shi Zhongyan killed the more than three hundred mentally collapsed Wooden Men after Zhuang Hong approved, and Zhuang Hong buried the site with a Little Missile.
• Shi Zhongyan took Zhuang Hong to Gu Yuan City and explained that Dawn sought to overthrow the Great Feng Dynasty, whose powerful interests profited from turning ordinary people into Wooden Men.
• As Shi Zhongyan stayed busy, he gave Zhuang Hong books about Divine Kingdom, and Zhuang Hong studied them in the courtyard.

Zhuang Hong advanced to a Divine Kingdom Dream Weaver and created the Floating Sky Net, a rudimentary spiritual internet. After telling Shi Zhongyan he planned to travel, he left Gu Yuan Main City with Hao Liang and the others.

• Zhuang Hong brought Hao Liang, Sun Ye, Zero, and Hua Wanying into his Divine Kingdom, where they explored the Floating Sky Island plaza and praised how realistic it felt.
• Zhuang Hong learned that Sun Ye and Hao Liang had withdrawn from helping Shi Zhongyan’s rebellion because the Dawn Organization members distrusted them.

After a year of study and weeks of experimentation, Zhuang Hong adjusted his Mental Strength to connect to Hao Liang’s group chat node and joined the All Heavens and Myriad Realms Group Chat System. He introduced himself as One Inch of Time and began reading the rules as the group welcomed him.

• Zhuang Hong simulated the group chat connection but concluded that he could not activate his own system, so he tried to connect to Hao Liang’s group chat instead.
• Zhuang Hong gathered Hao Liang and two others, formed a node with their connections, and spent five days adjusting his Mental Strength until the node’s rejection weakened.
• After another ten days of adjustments, Zhuang Hong merged his Mental Strength with the node and successfully connected to the All Heavens and Myriad Realms Group Chat System.
• The group’s 322 members sensed the arrival of a new member and flooded the chat with welcomes while Zhuang Hong chose the alias One Inch of Time and inspected the interface.
• Zhuang Hong greeted the group, prompting surprised speculation about his quick adaptation, until Moon Hermit welcomed him and sent the group guidelines for him to read.

Zhuang Hong joined the Ten Thousand Realms Group Chat as One Inch of Time and began experimenting with improving its system. Six months later, he pulled its members into the Floating Sky Net dreamscape, where Hao Liang, Sun Ye, and Zero recognized the platform and spotted Deadwater.

• Zhuang Hong discovered that his group-chat connection persisted unless he actively severed it, even when he moved away from the others.
• Zhuang Hong told Hao Liang, Sun Ye, Zero, and Deadwater that he had joined the group chat as One Inch of Time, then sent them off while he returned to seclusion.

• After six months, group-chat members opened the system and found themselves on an enormous platform, with hundreds of other members gathered there.
• Hao Liang, Sun Ye, and Zero regrouped, and Zero pointed out Deadwater in the crowd.

The group chat members discovered that opening their chat now brought them into the Floating Sky Net, where they could meet freely. Zhuang Hong admitted he had transformed the group chat, leaving Gu Yue Jushi to accept that he no longer controlled it.

• Sun Ye, Hao Liang, and Zero realized they could enter and leave the Floating Sky Net by opening the group chat, and guessed the other people there were group members.
• Hao Liang announced his alias, prompting the others to recognize the gathering as a face-to-face group chat meetup.

• Zhuang Hong apologized to Gu Yue Jushi and explained that he had connected the group chat system to the Floating Sky Net using his Mental Strength and knowledge.
• Gu Yue Jushi conceded that Zhuang Hong had surpassed him, but Zhuang Hong said the group chat belonged to everyone and should be improved for their shared use.

Zhuang Hong planned to expand the Floating Sky Net into a city and began testing how to connect people to it, while Chi Zongling discovered that another Po Organization companion had entered the Dragon Court Mixed Domain. Chi Zongling left the Immortal Cultivation World to find the newcomer before he provoked Zhuang Hong.

• Gu Yue Jushi accepted Zhuang Hong’s offer to help manage and develop the upgraded group chat platform.
• Zhuang Hong observed that the Floating Sky Net operated with little strain on his Mental Strength and decided to develop it into a future city with features such as private territories, a marketplace, and a library.
