Chapter Summaries

Tutmoses unleashed a devastating attack that left only himself, the Infinite Lord, and Havik standing, but the Infinite Divine Machine and the Blood-Red Lord also survived. Green used the lull to summon battleships through a Spatial Passage, while the Blood-Red Lord struck the Infinite Lord and Havik and disrupted their counterattack.

• The Shadow Giant Dragon pierced the Dark Shadow Dragon, forcing the Dragonman within it to flee.
• Tutmoses released a rainbow ring that consumed the Northern Void River and battered the fighters, leaving Tutmoses, the Infinite Lord, and Havik standing.
• The Infinite Divine Machine and the Blood-Red Lord regenerated in the decaying void, revealing that both had survived Tutmoses's attack.
• Green manipulated space from within the Infinite Divine Machine and brought silver-white battleships through a Spatial Passage to join its avatars.
• Tutmoses, the Infinite Lord, and Havik attacked the Infinite Divine Machine, but the Blood-Red Lord pierced the latter two with tentacles and flooded their bodies with blood-red power.

Tutmoses sacrificed himself to force the four Void Rivers to merge, halting the battle over the Creation Force Fragment. Green then secured the fragment and used it to stabilize the Black Core, leaving the newly unified Void River poised for a long period of change.

• The Flesh Lord pinned down the Infinite Lord and Havik while the Infinite Divine Machine overwhelmed Tutmoses with help from the warships it absorbed.
• Tutmoses used Balance Substitution to transform himself into light and force the Northern Void River to converge with the other three Void Rivers.
• The four Void Rivers fused, raising the energy density and making the Creation Force Fragment too dangerous for any faction to claim by force.
• Green controlled the Infinite Divine Machine, collected the fragment, and sent it into the shrinking Black Core.
• The Creation Force Fragment stopped the Black Core's shrinkage and stabilized its growing gravitational pull, and Green withdrew his consciousness.

After the Void’s upheaval, Green reviewed how the major forces had reorganized and returned his consciousness to the Divine World to await the appointed time. Meanwhile, civilizations devoted to destruction began forming a force around the possibility of activating “Nothing.”

• The Alchemy Empire quickly chose a successor, while the Northern Civilization Alliance reorganized slowly and the True Spirit Civilization lost territory to invading forces.
• Worlds fled the Divine World as it moved through the new Void River to devour and assimilate them, while other civilizations avoided confronting it.
• Green reviewed the forces’ situation in the Blood-Red World and used the Emotional Force Purification Amplification Formation before transferring his consciousness back to the Divine World.
• Green checked that the Divine World’s Time Flow Rate remained unsynchronized with the Void, then settled onto his throne to wait three thousand years.
• Destruction-worshiping civilizations began quietly joining forces, hoping to break the Black Core on “Nothing” and destroy the Void.

Seven eras after the upheaval, the Primordial River’s factions had divided its territory and established a fragile order. The Black Core, long ignored by the major powers, began moving secretly as its shelled inhabitants searched for the legendary Void Core.

• The Alchemy Empire, True Spirit Civilization, Machine-Flesh Alliance, and Infinite Alliance expanded or consolidated their holdings, while the Divine World wandered within a fixed region.
• The Northern Civilization Alliance collapsed after the Infinite Lord struggled on for five eras, and wars among its members gave rise to the Infinite Alliance.
• Regional powers claimed 20% of the Primordial River, while unoccupied territory remained as buffer zones and space for new civilizations.
• The Black Core’s survivors had left it disguised and unattended because of its defenses, mobility, and the major factions’ lack of time to pursue it.
• Three eras into their search, three large shelled life-forms aboard a black spherical warship questioned their general about finding the legendary Void Core and whether to upgrade their detector.

General Bafen and his subordinates discovered the Void Core after receiving a special signal, but Bafen was nearly pulled into it when he entered its space. They rescued him and decided to notify the Council, whose members alone could activate the Core.

• Bafen rebuked Danboke for suggesting they retreat, then admitted he understood their exhaustion and offered to request rest for them.
• A special-signal report appeared on the console, and Bafen ordered Danboke and Nanierlu to investigate its source.
• Bafen probed the Void and tore open a rift, revealing the Void Core inside a White Space.
• The White Space's gravitational force seized Bafen and sent him falling toward the Core, but Danboke and Nanierlu dragged him back with black-smoke whips.
• Danboke urged Bafen to notify the Council, and Bafen agreed that only the Council could activate the Void Core.

Ten Eras after the Primordial Darkness Civilization began destroying the Void Core, its members extracted the Creation Force Fragment and let the Void collapse around them. Green awakened in the Divine World with a foreboding sense of danger and ordered Yugulos to prepare the Church for a great disaster.

• The Primordial Darkness Civilization used its instrument and black rods to destroy the Void Core’s outer layer.
• The leader of the black-carapaced creatures pulled out the Creation Force Fragment and threw it into a spatial rift.
• The Primordial Darkness Civilization’s members accepted the Void Core’s catastrophic pull as Nothingness began to expand.
• Green awakened from a thousand years of semi-slumber when his soul warned him of an approaching crisis.
• Green found no disturbance in the Divine World and suspected that something had changed in the Void.
• Green told Yugulos to have the Church prepare for a great disaster.

Yugulos carried out Green’s preparations for war, prompting the Divine World’s pantheons to stockpile resources and fear an impending conflict. Meanwhile, Green discovered that a rapidly expanding void of nothingness threatened the Primordial River and realized its creation may have been permitted by the River’s Will.

• Yugulos advanced to Intermediate Divine Power and sent Fanatic Believers to the Dominion Pantheon’s other Divine Realms with Green’s orders.
• The Dominion Pantheon’s resource stockpiling alarmed other pantheons, which began preparing for war as resources grew more expensive.
• Green discovered a Perfect Stage void of nothingness expanding inside the Primordial River and feared it would consume the entire Void unless he found Creation Force fragments.
• Green identified the Primordial Darkness Civilization as the source of the void and began to contact the Infinite Divine Machine and the Flesh Lord to search for the fragments.
• Green stopped himself and suspected that the Will of the Primordial River had knowingly allowed the Primordial Darkness Civilization to release nothingness.

Green investigated the expansion of the hollow of nothingness and uncovered evidence that the Origin River Void Will was manipulating disasters to expose and eliminate Ninth-Level Lives. He decided to stay hidden and moved the Blood-Red World upstream toward the Primordial River to escape the expanding void.

• Green sensed that the Primordial River's energy was slowing the expansion of nothingness and suspected the Void had been creating it for a purpose.
• Green ordered the Chip to retrieve the Origin River Void's history, drawing on records from the Infinite Divine Machine and the Flesh Lord's Knowledge Base.
• After reviewing the records, Green found that civilizations backed by Ninth-Level Lives repeatedly suffered disasters and that rapidly growing civilizations were gradually surrounded by hostile neighbors.
• Green concluded that the hollow of nothingness was a trap meant to make Ninth-Level Lives expose themselves as they tried to escape the Origin River.
• Green resolved to remain hidden and sent the Blood-Red World upstream through the Void toward the Primordial River.

As "Void" expanded and threatened to consume the Primordial River, the Void Council launched a desperate search for the Creation Force Fragment, destroying obstructionists and violating civilizations’ territories. The search uncovered numerous Ninth-Level Life hiding in the Origin River Void, whose Will stripped them of their power and expelled them.

• Green piloted the Blood-Red World away from the hollow of "Void," but the black speck began expanding and pulled matter, energy, and worlds toward it.
• The Void Council unanimously passed the "Primordial River Emergency Rescue Proposal" and sent search vessels and powerful investigators throughout the Void and its worlds.
• The Sublime Darkness Civilization attacked the search effort, so the Infinite Divine Machine, the Flesh Lord, and the Infinite Lord destroyed its region and checked the debris for Creation Force Fragments.
• As "Void" expanded faster, the Void Council grew more brutal, destroying those who obstructed its search.
• The Void Council uncovered hidden Ninth-Level Life in Small Worlds and Dimensional Sides, and the Origin River Void Will stripped them of their power and cast them out.

Green ascended to Great Divine Power as the God of Order and persuaded the Divine World's World Will to delay synchronizing time and support his bid for Eternity. Meanwhile, the Origin River Void Will's campaign against “Nothing” drew hidden powers into the open and intercepted Ninth-Level Life trying to flee.

• Green concluded that “Nothing” was a lure to expose Ninth-Level Life and wondered how the Origin River Void Will would deal with the powers behind the Alchemy Empire and True Spirit Civilization.
• Green interrupted the Divine World's preparations to synchronize time and ascended above the Origin Force Sea, becoming the God of Order.
• Green persuaded the Divine World's World Will to keep time unsynchronized and spread his faith, arguing that the Divine World could support his attempt to reach Eternity.
• The Divine World's World Will agreed, rapidly spreading Green's faith and increasing the Mental Will Force he gained, while keeping his Avatar under close scrutiny.
• As “Nothing” spread, civilizations blasted open sealed spaces, drawing reclusive powers and Ninth-Level Life out of hiding.
• The Origin River Void Will intercepted a large group of Ninth-Level Life attempting to flee at the edge of the Void.

Five million years of searching for the Creation Force Fragment left the Primordial River near collapse and its civilizations in despair. Just as the fragment’s protection expired, trapped life-forms attacked the River’s barrier, but the Origin River let only weaker beings escape and held back the strongest.

• The Silver-White Robot, Amenhotep, and the Flesh Lord waited at the Whirlpool’s edge as the Nothing void expanded, while the Infinite Divine Machine told the Flesh Lord not to seek their master.
• Over the next two million years, the Nothing void swallowed more of the Primordial River, making its middle and lower reaches uninhabitable and driving civilizations to search for the Creation Force Fragment.
• After five million years without finding the fragment, many civilizations abandoned the search and gave in to despair and indulgence.
• The Infinite Divine Machine counted down the Creation Force Fragment’s remaining time, and when it reached zero, some Advanced Life-forms gave up resisting the void’s pull.
• The Primordial River shook as Ninth- through Eleventh-Level life-forms attacked its barrier, and a few beings below Tenth Level escaped through cracks while the strongest remained trapped.

A fusion of Level 11 beings formed the Silver-White Giant God and attacked the Primordial River’s Spacetime Barrier with Blazing White Judgment. The Void Will of the Origin River intervened and blocked the attack, while the surviving observers watched from a distance.

• A Level 11 being urged the gathered lives to combine their power and fight the Origin River Void.
• Countless beings merged into the Silver-White Giant God, whose power neared Level 12 but remained at Level 11.
• The Silver-White Giant God unleashed Blazing White Judgment, and its power crushed space and destroyed worlds across the Primordial River.
• Havik led the True Spirit Civilization’s higher-ups away through a Spatial Passage as other Advanced Life forms fled the battlefield.
• Amenhotep, the Infinite Divine Machine, and the Flesh Lord remained to watch the clash.
• The Silver-White Giant God’s attack failed to reach the Spacetime Barrier because the Void Will of the Origin River blocked it with a rainbow-like barrier.

Amenhotep, the Flesh Lord, and Infinite Divine Machine observed the Origin-level battle between the Void Will and the Silver-White Giant God through overlapping timelines. As the Void Will began to lose ground, hidden Eternal Life forms struck it across every moment in time, giving the Silver-White Giant God the advantage.

• Infinite Divine Machine invited Amenhotep and the Flesh Lord to share its senses and observe the true battlefield.
• The three saw countless possible timelines and learned that the Void Will and the Silver-White Giant God were fighting over the Origin at the beginning of void-time.
• Infinite Divine Machine explained that the Eternal Life in Hyperspace offset the Void Will's home-ground advantage, while the void's dire condition weakened it further.
• The Eternal Life forms hiding in the Primordial River launched a massive punch that wounded the Void Will across its past, present, and future.
• The wounded Void Will fell into a disadvantage, and the Silver-White Giant God seized the upper hand.

The Origin River Void Will revealed that its apparent weakness had been a trap, then used the Origin Sea to drive Eternal Life’s Silver-White Giant God and Black Figure out through the Spacetime Barrier. After they escaped, it joined two Creation Force Fragments, which stopped the hollow of “Nothingness” from devouring everything.

• The Black Figure joined the Silver-White Giant God in attacking the Origin River Void, but the Void Will’s excitement alerted them that it had planned a countermeasure.
• The Black Figure struck the Spacetime Barrier while the Silver-White Giant God attacked the Void Will, and they realized the Void Will and barrier were stronger than they had expected.
• The Origin Sea erupted and drove the attackers away from the source, but the Silver-White Giant God and Black Figure suppressed the Origin River Void Will and Origin Sea long enough to breach the Spacetime Barrier.
• The Origin River Void Will and Origin Sea tried to hold the attackers back, but the Silver-White Giant God and Black Figure combined their powers to escape into Hyperspace.
• The Origin River Void Will produced two Creation Force Fragments, which converged and fused before flying into the hollow of “Nothingness.”
• The fused fragment stopped the hollow from devouring everything, and the surrounding Whirlpool began to lose its power.

Amenhotep, the Infinite Divine Machine, and the Flesh Lord sealed the hollow of "Nothing" and installed safeguards to prevent anyone from opening it without all three keys. Watching from the Blood-Red World, Green concluded that the Origin River Void Will had expelled most Eternal Life and secured a chance for the Void to develop steadily.

• The Infinite Divine Machine warned Amenhotep and the Flesh Lord that the Void was steeped in resentment and could give rise to dangerous worlds and creatures.
• Amenhotep proposed sealing the hollow of "Nothing" and adding detection and security measures, and the others agreed.
• The Infinite Divine Machine, the Flesh Lord, and Amenhotep created a dimensional space that drew in the hollow and caused the nearby Whirlpool to Disintegrate.
• They installed three Seals that required silver-white, blood-red, and pure white keys, then each absorbed one key before leaving.
• Green watched the battle end and concluded that the Origin River Void Will had expelled most Eternal Life and gained a more stable future for the Void.

Green discovered that Negative Energy had spread through the Divine World because newly formed worlds in the Origin River Void were saturated with it, giving Evil deities an advantage. After a thousand years of divine war, Bahamut and Tyr had reached Level 25, and Bahamut was favored to claim the Throne of Goodness because he possessed the Book of Holiness.

• Green returned his consciousness to the Divine World and sensed a dense tide of Negative Energy surrounding it.
• Green used True Seeing to trace the Negative Energy to worlds the Divine World had absorbed from the Void, where the broader environment had changed.
• Green realized that the Negative Energy strengthened the Thrones of Evil and Chaos, and that Evil deities could obstruct efforts to remove it without violating any Laws.
• The gods fought a divine war for a thousand years, and many had their Divine Offices seized by other deities.
• Bahamut and Tyr gathered pure faith during the war and each reached Godhead Level 25, making them the leading candidates for the Throne of Goodness.
• The gods favored Bahamut because they discovered he possessed the Book of Holiness.

After a thousand years of divine war, Mystra strengthened her position while Moradin struggled to gather enough faith, and evil and chaotic deities remained hindered by fragmented authority. Green focused on the rapid advances in magic and learned that Omniscience had reached 82.32%, leaving him eager to enter the Subjective World once it was complete.

• Mystra, aided by Kelemvor, Azuth, and Selûne, attacked Shar, seized much of her Shadow Weave authority, and rose to Godhead Level 25 as Selûne regained Greater Divine Power status.
• Mystra traded with Corellon for control of elven magic and made a pact with Ogma to support their future ascensions to Great Divine Power.
• Moradin unified much of the authority over forging but struggled to reach Godhead Level 25 because Dwarven faith was insufficient and population growth led to war.
• Evil and chaotic deities found their efforts to unify authority undermined by its fragmentation, while benevolent and orderly deities retained the advantage.
• Mystra’s public release of Green’s magical knowledge inspired new spells, and ordinary Wizards began developing the rudiments of Fourteenth-Ring Spells.
• Green checked his progress in Arcadia and found Omniscience 82.32% complete, then considered the promise and dangers of opening a passage to the Subjective World.

Three hundred years later, Green planned how to retrieve the souls of his two avatars from the Origin River Void, but recognized that his God of Order avatar could not leave the Divine World easily. He devised a future plan to appoint a successor and summoned the Dominion Pantheon’s deities to compete for the position.

• Green considered retrieving the souls of his Blood-Red World and Divine World avatars, noting that escaping the Origin River Void would be difficult.
• Green considered following Jergal’s example by dividing his Divine Office, but concluded that his role as a pillar of the Divine World made that impossible for now.
• Green decided that a successor might eventually take over the Throne of Order, and that he would hold a competition among the Dominion Program’s candidates.
• Green summoned the Dominion Pantheon’s deities to his Divine Realm, and they arrived and bowed before him.

Green told the Dominion Pantheon that he would relinquish the Throne of Order to pursue Creation Divine Power and would choose a successor. He gave the gods three days to prepare, then planned to teach them the Order Force over the next two hundred years.

• Green summoned the Dominion Pantheon and announced that he intended to give up the Throne of Order.
• Green claimed that transcending alignment and surrendering the throne were necessary to reach Creation Divine Power, quieting the gods’ objections.
• Green said the Throne of Order could not remain vacant and offered it to whichever god met the requirements after learning the Order Force.
• Green gave the gods three days to arrange their affairs before the two-hundred-year period of instruction began.
• The gods bowed to Green, opened portals, and departed to prepare.

News of Green selecting an heir and pursuing Creation Divine Power unsettled the Divine World, while many deities feared the Four Great Thrones would leave them no path to Great Divine Power. As Bahamut prepared to claim the Throne of Goodness, Green began investigating whether deities could ascend by another means.

• The deities of the Dominion Pantheon spread news that Green was giving up the Throne of Order after finding a way to break through to Creation Divine Power.
• Mystra learned that Bahamut was the likeliest candidate for the Throne of Goodness and concluded that she could not safely ascend to Great Divine Power yet.
• Moradin and Tyr despaired over their poor chances of ascending before the Thrones of Goodness and Order were claimed.
• Bahamut sealed his Divine Realm as the Book of Holiness's power spread across the Mount Celestia Plane, prompting other deities to watch for signs of his ascension.
• Deities across the Divine World asked Green whether Great Divine Power could be reached without the Four Great Thrones, and he began exploring that possibility while teaching the Dominion Pantheon about Order Force.
