Chapter Summaries

Green used the Chip to steer a Northern Civilization patrol squad toward the region containing the Unknown World while Infinite Divine Machine warships pursued and attacked it. The patrol squad scattered under pressure, but its ships were badly damaged and could hold formation for only three hours.

• Green chose a Northern Civilization patrol squad near the Unknown World as the target of his plan and ordered the Chip to control the pursuing Infinite Divine Machine warships.
• The Chip coordinated the warships’ attacks, forcing the patrol squad to scatter and sending some of its ships toward the Unknown World.
• Northern Civilization crew members argued over encountering Infinite Divine Machine warships in a supposedly low-risk area and admitted they had no nearby support.
• After the patrol squad rotated its formation to protect weakened ships, its crew estimated that it could hold formation for only three hours.

Green watched as the unknown world drew in the Northern Civilization patrol squad and the Infinite Divine Machine's battleships, allowing him to achieve his goal. With the Guardian Crown and Obsidian King Sword reunited with their Avatars and the remaining parts transferring, Green prepared to transfer his will.

• The Northern Civilization patrol squad found an unknown world and decided to lure the pursuing Infinite Divine Machine battleships into it to escape.
• Green watched the approaching fleets while powerful lives debated how to contain them without alerting the Infinite Divine Machine.
• The fleets neared the azure world, whose faint black light went unnoticed by their crews.
• The world turned pitch-black and pulled both fleets inside before returning to azure and moving downstream.
• The Chip announced that the Guardian Crown and Obsidian King Sword had reached the Unknown World and that their remaining parts would transfer in three months, so Green closed his eyes to transfer his will.

Green summoned the Guardian Crown and Obsidian King Sword, then used his power to reveal the chaotic reality hidden beneath his room’s ordinary appearance. He discovered a Blood-Red Pupil struggling for control of the moon and resolved to find the force supporting the world.

• Green summoned the Guardian Crown and Obsidian King Sword and scanned them with the chip using a grotesque flesh scan.
• Green sensed that Chaotic Law could corrupt his power and warned himself to tread carefully in the dangerous world.
• Green put on the Guardian Crown and used its Order Force to reveal the room’s filthy, dilapidated true appearance.
• Green concluded that the world’s chaos concealed a supporting pillar he needed to find to reach its depths.
• Green looked at the sky and saw a Blood-Red Pupil fighting the moon for control as the Guardian Crown’s green gem shielded him.

Green examined the dead city beneath the Red Moon, then revealed the Chaos Force’s false, restored surface and deduced that the world had been split into Order, Chaos, and Intermediate States. He concluded that the doomed world could only be saved by outside interference, and suspected its treasures drew powerful lifeforms as part of the Northern Void Will’s and World Will’s plans.

• Green recognized the fighting beings as pure Law-Concept Lifeforms and wondered why the Northern Void Will had allowed them to exist.
• Green knocked twice on the Guardian Crown’s ring, withdrawing the Order Force and revealing a lively city beneath the Chaos Force’s illusion.
• Green used a flash of blue light to see that the sun was a chaotic halo whose power concealed the world’s destruction.
• Green deduced that the clash of Order and Chaos had divided the world into Order, Chaos, and Intermediate States, each with distinct dangers.
• Green concluded that the world’s destruction was inevitable without outside intervention and suspected its treasures attracted powerful lifeforms to help the Northern Void Will and World Will fulfill their plans.

Green explored the Intermediate State and discovered that its apparent everyday life concealed death and decay, while changes in Chaos and Order could alter reality itself. After eating food restored by Chaos Force, he left the house to investigate further, with the female corpse watching him.

• Green left his room during a calm period and found a woman with a bruised hand and rotting flesh cooking spoiled food in the kitchen.
• A female corpse brought Green a meal and left the house, behaving as though she were alive.
• Green used Order Force to make the food vanish and Chaos Force to restore it, then ate and confirmed it had real nutritional value.
• A spatial hum alerted Green to the female corpse appearing behind him, and she warned him to return home regularly.
• Green chose not to attack the female corpse and headed out the front door while she watched him.

Green searched the ruined city, tested his theory about Anomalies, and found a survivor protected by an intelligent Anomaly named Da Huang. Robert asked Green to take him to a human settlement, and began explaining the world after the disaster.

• Green theorized that Anomalies repeated only important actions from their lives and went searching through the city.
• Green entered an apartment building and killed an Ash Gray Anomaly, which crumbled into ordinary sand.
• Green found a rotten Yellow Dog named Da Huang and stopped when Robert rushed in to protect it.
• Green spoke with Robert, who explained that Da Huang sensed danger and helped him survive.
• Robert recognized Green's sword and crown as Legendary Level Law Armaments, called him a Chosen One, and offered to explain what had happened after the disaster.

Green learned from Robert about the Cataclysm, Law Armament, and the human settlements, then used a radio to discover that Klyus stood on the ruins of Mangisier. He invited Robert and Da Huang to travel with him, and they headed toward a bookstore to find a map despite the Anomaly inside.

• Robert explained how the Cataclysm changed the world and how the Saviors Organization built settlements protected by Law Armament.
• Green found a fragmentary Information Law in Robert’s radio and heard a broadcast mentioning Klyus and Mangisier.
• Green invited Robert to join him on a journey to a large human settlement, and Robert asked to bring Da Huang.
• Green agreed, and Robert packed his belongings while Green decided they needed a map of Mangisier.
• After finding no map in a convenience store, Robert suggested waiting until the bookstore became safer, but Green told him to lead the way there immediately.

Green entered a bookstore where a writing Anomaly threatened to erase anyone still inside when it finished filling a Whiteboard. He killed the Anomaly, discovered its Black Umbrella could grant powerful abilities through Resonant Assimilation, and realized the process could work in reverse on powerful beings.

• Robert warned Green that the bookstore's Anomaly would erase anyone who remained when it finished writing on the Whiteboard.
• Green entered the bookstore, found a modern map, and attacked the Suit and Fedora-wearing Anomaly with the Obsidian King Sword.
• Green struck the Anomaly with blue lightning, destroying its body, then identified the Black Umbrella as the source of its power.
• Green suppressed the umbrella's black mist with Guardian Light, and the Chip identified the weapon as a Seventh-Level Shadow Umbrella with Resonant Assimilation.
• Green realized the umbrella's assimilation could affect its holder in either direction, giving powerful beings a way to gain strength by changing the weapon instead.

Green left the city with Robert and Da Huang, then used Robert and the Shadow Umbrella to draw out an invisible Anomaly. Green killed it with Guardian Light and continued toward the outskirts, expecting more Anomalies and viewing them as potential materials.

• Green left the collapsing bookstore with Robert and Da Huang and headed toward the edge of the city.
• When a strange tapping followed them, Green gave Robert the Shadow Umbrella and told him to walk ahead.
• Green provoked the unseen presence by having Robert run, then sensed a disturbance in space and seized the invisible creature.
• Green burned the six-armed humanoid Anomaly to death with Guardian Light and noted that it was an aggregate of Laws.
• Robert and Da Huang resumed following Green toward the outskirts of the city.

Green and Robert reached the city’s final intersection, where Green confronted a powerful Gray-White Figure and discovered a Dark Purple Barrier blocking their escape. Green unleashed Annihilation Lightning across the city, killing Anomalies and striking the barrier, but the way out remained uncertain.

• Green sensed a growing invisible force near the last intersection and told Robert to wait while he approached alone.
• A Gray-White Figure appeared, and Green’s Obsidian King Sword slash struck the hidden Dark Purple Barrier after the figure dodged.
• The Gray-White Figure attacked Green with beams from countless eyes, but the Guardian Crown’s defenses absorbed them with visible ripples.
• Green used Annihilation Lightning to attack the figure, which fled into the barrier surrounding the city.
• Green spread black-purple lightning across the city, striking the barrier and killing Anomalies as Robert and other survivors watched.

Green fought the strange face emerging from the Dark Purple Barrier by turning the city into a Lava Lake and burning away its mist and Vengeful Spirits. As the face used Aging to resist, cracks formed in the barrier, and Green analyzed its structure.

• A horned face appeared on the Dark Purple Barrier and sent out Vengeful Spirits and dark red mist to suppress the black-purple lightning.
• Green unleashed crimson-gold flames from the center of the city, melting the ground into a Lava Lake while sparing the survivors and their shelters.
• The flames burned away much of the mist and destroyed many Vengeful Spirits, then struck the strange face and charred it.
• The face opened three additional Ash Gray eyes and used Aging to weaken the flames, but its power caused cracks to spread across the Dark Purple Barrier.
• Green recognized Aging as a lower-order extension of Order Force and analyzed the barrier's structure, building a dualistic model on the Chip's interface.

Green broke the barrier around the city and traveled toward Mangisier with Robert and Da Huang, studying the world's Anomalies and Robert's assimilation by the Shadow Umbrella along the way. Near Mangisier, Green warned Robert that Da Huang might be in danger there and left the decision of whether to continue to him.

• Green shattered the city's Dark Purple Barrier, turned the lava-like ground into obsidian, and left with Robert.
• Over the next month, Green and Robert traveled in an Armored Vehicle, survived repeated reality distortions, and encountered survivor groups that Green spared or destroyed according to their behavior.
• Green let Robert carry the Shadow Umbrella and undergo Resonant Assimilation, discovering that combat and standing in shadow increased its speed.
• Three days from Mangisier, Green asked Robert whether he still wanted to go, warning that Da Huang's unusual nature could put it at risk there.
• Green left Robert to decide whether to continue, and Robert's confusion gave way to resolve as Da Huang comforted him.

Robert refused to go to Clyus City, accepted Green’s Fate-and-Devouring gemstone, and set out in the armored vehicle with Da Huang. Green headed toward Mangisier while using Robert’s journey to gather information, as a dangerous anomaly approached Clyus City.

• Robert refused Green’s suggestion to go to Clyus City, swallowed the Cyan Gemstone, and drove away with Da Huang in the armored vehicle.
• Green explained that the gemstone would make Robert devour other beings’ fate, likely setting him against the Void’s Child of Fate while connecting Green to what Robert experienced.
• Green used his space-compressing movement to travel toward Mangisier.
• Three men in black monitored the blood-red-dressed Doomsday Ballad and estimated that it would reach Clyus City’s shielding field in about twenty days.
• An anomaly attacked the men in black, injuring one and trapping the other two as Black Insects crawled over them.
• After the anomaly passed, the surviving men reported that Doomsday Ballad’s sensing range had expanded to about six hundred meters and left to warn their superiors.

Green read the memories of a dead man in black and learned about Clyus, its Adepts, and the World-Saving Machine. He then approached Clyus and agreed to let its guards scan him before entering.

• Green pulled the blue soul from the dead man in black and used his Mental Power to read the man's memories, causing the soul to dissipate.
• Green learned that Clyus had an Inner City and an Outer City, distinguished Innate Adepts from Acquired Adepts, and relied on a World-Saving Machine to reset the Timeline.
• Green decided to contact Clyus and headed through the ruins of Mangisier toward its barrier.
• Clyus's guards stopped Green at the entrance, and he claimed he had heard about the city over the radio.
• Green agreed to the guards' request to scan him for Anomalies.

Green entered Clyus City, where guards identified him as a rare Chosen One capable of stabilizing reality and placed him in temporary housing. After fifteen days of secretly cracking the city’s defenses and deterring faction probes, he was awakened by a knock at his door.

• Green used his Guardian Crown to trigger the scanner and followed a guard into Clyus City.
• The guard showed Green the city’s farmland and brought him to a temporary residential area, explaining that he would stay there for half a month before receiving official status.
• Green settled into a small house and began using his Mental Power to crack Clyus City’s defense system.
• Over the next fifteen days, Green made progress during rare stable periods and severely injured two Chosen Ones who came to test him.
• Clyus City’s soldiers began delivering increasingly lavish meals, and Green woke to a knock at his door.

Green settled into Clyus City while secretly infiltrating its Core Region to investigate the World-Saving Machine. He discovered that the machine could divide the world into two, though the researchers only understood it through their observations.

• Green registered as an Innate Adept, accepted a villa in the Inner City, and spent a month gathering information while Clyus City factions tried to recruit him.
• Green learned that Clyus Space was an Anomaly assimilated with the city's lord, who strengthened control by absorbing other Chosen Ones and using their Laws.
• Green left an avatar in his villa and slipped through the Core Region's defenses to reach its innermost laboratory.
• Green saw a vast, evolving machine with small missing components and listened to researchers describe its changing forms.
• Green learned that the researchers believed completing the machine would let them press its Divide button, split the world in two, and choose one world in which humanity could begin again.

Green secretly assimilated the World-Saving Machine in Clyus City and discovered that it contained part of the world's Source Power but was only one-third complete. He concluded that the other two human factions each held another portion and pursued a different plan to save the world.

• Green found that the Chip could not penetrate the World-Saving Machine's natural protective field, so he summoned the Infinite Divine Machine's Avatar to assimilate it.
• Green entered the Mental Space and accelerated the assimilation while the researchers remained unaware.
• Three days later, the assimilation reached 100%, and Green learned that the World-Saving Machine contained a portion of the world's Source Power.
• Green discovered that the machine was only one-third complete and inferred that the other two human factions each held another third.
• Green identified the factions' plans: Clyus City would divide the world's three states, another faction would accept the world's death and seek rebirth, and the last would preserve the status quo.

Green concluded that the world’s true injury predated the Meme Virus and decided to upend the forces manipulating events. He ordered the Infinite Divine Machine to launch an all-out offensive, leaving the Northern Civilization Alliance in a catastrophic rout.

• Green reasoned that the Meme Virus concealed damage caused by an unknown force and decided to disrupt the factions controlling events.
• Green ordered the Chip to give the Infinite Divine Machine the Dual-Unification Model and attack downstream to find Robert’s world and provoke the Northern Void Will.
• The Infinite Divine Machine exploited weaknesses in the Northern Civilization Alliance’s defenses, bypassed its front lines, and rapidly assimilated its smaller worlds.
• The Infinite Divine Machine cut communications across the Alliance and dismantled powerful member civilizations.
• The Infinite Divine Machine abandoned its policy of assimilating everything and invited civilizations to surrender, triggering widespread defections and accelerating the Alliance’s defeat.

Green discovered that the Northern Void River Will was accelerating and concealing the world containing his Avatar, suggesting it held something extremely valuable. He brought the Infinite Divine Machine’s forces to the world and stopped at a distance to investigate it remotely.

• A squadron of Civilization Remnants debated surrendering to the Infinite Divine Machine, then their leaders decided to meet.
• One Civilization Remnant joined the Infinite Divine Machine, prompting more remnants to follow and become subordinate civilizations.
• Green noticed the world carrying his Avatar speeding up and losing its ability to transmit information, and suspected the Northern Void River Will was interfering.
• Green projected his will into the Infinite Divine Machine’s battleships and piloted a giant silver-white mecha toward the world.
• The mecha reached the deep-blue, black-marked world, and Green stopped outside its capture field to begin remote probing.

Green tested the Unknown World’s defenses with the silver mecha’s destructive cannon, escalating his attack until it breached the world’s first defense and clashed with a giant rust-red eye. After the eye fled, four concealed Ninth Level life-forms appeared before the Unknown World, and Green suspected they were the ones who had hired it.

• Green transformed the silver mecha’s right hand into a cannon and fired at the Unknown World, but its Dissolution Barrier reduced the first beam to Primal Energy.
• Green drew in energy and debris from the Northern Void River, then fired a strike powerful enough to reach the Eleventh Level and pierce the Unknown World’s first defense.
• A disguised planet revealed itself as a gigantic rust-red eye and stopped the beam, but the clash badly injured the eye and damaged the mecha.
• The rust-red eye cursed the four who had hired it, then vanished from the Void.
• Four hooded figures in red, yellow, blue, and purple appeared before the Unknown World and concealed their auras; Green recognized them as Ninth Level life-forms from Hyperspace.
