• Cui Ciyou approached the blue-haired girl, who looked like a Migurd and seemed unable to speak beyond the word "I."

Cui Ciyou awoke from a vivid dream of a sorrowful blue-haired girl who vanished before he could comfort her, and found cold tears on his face. Convinced the dream had been more than a dream and that the girl had asked him to save her, he opened his window and looked out over the capital.

• In the collapsing dream world, Cui Ciyou reached toward the blue-haired girl, but she dissolved into blue lights and vanished.
• Cui Ciyou woke gasping in his bed as dawn broke and found tears on his cheek.
• Cui Ciyou wondered whether the tears and sorrow belonged to the blue-haired girl and whether they had formed a connection.
• Cui Ciyou decided the girl’s plea to save her had been real, leaped out of bed, and opened the shutters to look over the capital.

Cui Ciyou was pulled into the Human God's white mental domain, where the god teased him about his recent victories and the girls around him before describing a blue-haired girl from his dream. Cui Ciyou asked whether the Human God knew who she was.

• Cui Ciyou acknowledged the Human God's observation and asked whether it knew who the girl was.

The Human God revealed that the blue-haired girl was Benedictine Kingdragon, an eighteenth princess of the Dragon King Kingdom who had no succession rights because she was half Humanfolk and half Demonfolk.

• The Human God compared Benedictine's inner world with Rudeus Greyrat's spiritual form, teased Cui Ciyou about knowing he had watched two anime seasons, and agreed to return to their discussion.

The Human God explained that mind and body affected each other, then revealed that Princess Benedictine Kingdragon’s ruined mental world came from years of neglect and overwhelming emotional suffering. He said she possessed a powerful, world-spanning form of telepathy and had sent out a desperate call for help that Cui Ciyou received through their fateful connection.

• The Human God explained that Cui Ciyou’s body and soul had crossed into the world together, unlike Rudeus’s, whose spiritual body retained his original appearance.
• Cui Ciyou reasoned that Benedict’s ruined spiritual body reflected her suffering, and the Human God confirmed that her condition stemmed from severe psychological pain rather than a physical illness.
• The Human God recounted how Princess Benedictine Kingdragon was rejected because of her Demonfolk heritage, isolated in the palace, and left without friends or even basic instruction.
• The Human God revealed that Benedictine was a blessed child whose telepathy could reach any intelligent being, not only members of her own race.

• Cui Ciyou questioned the Human God about why he had told him Benedictine Kingdragon's story and what he wanted him to do.

• Cui Ciyou erupted in fury and punched the Human God, but his attacks passed through the Human God's spiritual body.
• Cui Ciyou steadied himself and demanded that the Human God explain what he was trying to say.

• The Human God teased Cui Ciyou about caring for Roxy before explaining why he had withheld the source of his advice.
• The Human God revealed that his ability was called “Future Sight,” not mind reading.
