Eternity Becomes Void (author's note)

I can't reliably translate this text as supplied. It contains CSS-based character substitutions, scrambled HTML tags, repeated garbled passages, and many literal ? characters where the original Chinese appears to be missing. The embedded CSS does not restore enough readable text for an accurate translation.

Please resend the chapter as clean Chinese text, or provide screenshots of the correctly rendered page. With readable source text, I can translate it into natural English while preserving exactly 131 paragraphs in order.
