Chapter Summaries

Chapter Summary: “Scholar Foundation”

Key Plot Points and Events

• Gao Shanggong delivers the reassembled Oracle Stone to Nameless and helps him test the Divine Light Screen and its newly installed applications. After confirming that everything works, he promises to return with additional supplies.
• Nameless requests equipment capable of breaking formations, preferably equipment resistant to contamination. Gao agrees and reveals that he has already secured Scholar Foundation funding and SSS-level authority for Nameless, ensuring that resources will not be a problem.
• The group discusses the Scholar Foundation. Lucifer explains that it is a vast organization of knowledge-related gods and scholars that collects, protects, and distributes knowledge, supports underdeveloped worlds, controls patents, and provides aid during major disasters.
• The Foundation’s greatest known achievement was helping defeat the Nightmare Tapir God during the White Nightmare Calamity. However, it caused a major disaster thirty thousand years earlier and has since acted cautiously.
• The group concludes that the Foundation is supporting Nameless because the collapse of the Eternal Silence Prison Tower could unleash the monsters of Eternal Silence Space into the wider universe, potentially causing an extinction-level catastrophe.
• Nameless discovers that many people still believe he is dead despite his previous livestream proving otherwise. Lin Renmei explains that reporters have been monitoring the house, including one disguised as a bird, and spreading conspiracy theories.
• Although the house is protected by formations and Lucifer’s Rule Secret Arts, Nameless decides to go outside to counter the rumors. Maria eagerly tries to accompany him, but Lucifer forces her to remain and finish her homework.

• Lin Renmei, Cheng Xuejie, and Zhang Shouzhong contribute useful explanations and observations about the reporters, the protective formations, and the Foundation’s motives.

Significant Themes

• Knowledge as power and responsibility: The Scholar Foundation preserves and distributes knowledge while using its resources to influence events across countless worlds.
• Collective responsibility in a cosmic crisis: The Foundation’s intervention shows that preventing the Prison Tower’s collapse is too important for any single group to ignore.
• Public perception versus reality: Despite Nameless’s livestream, rumors and conspiracy theories continue because people prioritize speculation over evidence.
• Preparation against catastrophe: Nameless’s requests for specialized equipment, funding, and authority emphasize the importance of planning before confronting a potentially universe-wide disaster.
• Humor amid danger: The absurd reporter disguised as a bird and Maria’s exaggerated disappointment provide comic relief in an otherwise serious situation.

Character Interactions

• Gao Shanggong and Nameless cooperate closely, with Gao offering both practical assistance and institutional support.
• Lucifer explains the Scholar Foundation to Zhang Shouzhong and the others, while also scolding Maria for interrupting her homework.
• The group reassures Nameless that the Foundation’s support will solve logistical problems and that the house remains secure from surveillance.

Chapter Summary: Treasure Gambling Street

Key Plot Points and Events

• After leaving Gao Shanggong, Nameless notices reporters watching him but ignores them and heads to a teleportation array.
• Although the Scholar Foundation has promised support for repairing the Eternal Silence Prison Tower, Nameless decides to gather some supplies independently. He believes one should ultimately rely on oneself.
• Nameless’s motivation for repairing the tower is personal rather than based on rewards. After learning its importance to All Heavens and Myriad Realms—and Gao Shanggong’s friendship with the tower’s warden, Jun Wuyingbai—he genuinely wants to help, even if he must bear the costs himself.
• He teleports to Treasure Gambling Street, a marketplace where merchants sell unknown or uncertain treasures through gambling-style transactions involving authenticity, quality, speed, and other tests.
• Nameless encounters a Minotaur selling a Nine-Star Pearl for one million Resource Coins. He recognizes that it contains nine sealed skills, eight of which involve water control, and offers only one hundred thousand.
• The Minotaur refuses to sell at such a low price, so Nameless leaves without forcing the deal.
• Two reporters who had followed Nameless—one pig-snouted human and one crocodile man—realize that his interest may indicate the pearl’s value. They compete to buy it, with the crocodile man ultimately purchasing it for five hundred thousand Resource Coins.
• Nameless enters the Thousand Treasures Pavilion, where he begins examining fragments of antique divine artifacts, partly because Lucifer previously mentioned Gao Shanggong’s interest in such relics.

Character Developments

• Nameless: Demonstrates independence, practical judgment, and a willingness to help without expecting compensation. His calm bargaining and refusal to overpay show confidence in his own evaluation rather than concern over missing an opportunity. He also reveals specialized knowledge of Star Orbs and their potential dangers.
• Gao Shanggong: Though absent from the scene, his character is further established as loyal and determined. He supports repairing the prison tower both for the safety of the realms and because its warden, Jun Wuyingbai, is his friend.
• The Minotaur merchant: Acts as a shrewd but somewhat inflexible seller, refusing Nameless’s low offer despite the potential profit.
• The two reporters: Shift from observers to opportunistic buyers, interpreting Nameless’s interest as evidence that the Nine-Star Pearl may be valuable.

Significant Themes

• Self-reliance: Nameless refuses to depend completely on institutional support and prepares to solve problems through his own resources.
• Altruism and personal conviction: His decision to repair the Eternal Silence Prison Tower is driven by his own desire to help, not by payment or recognition.
• Risk and deception: Treasure Gambling Street embodies a world where value is uncertain, and merchants may misrepresent goods. New Star Orbs can be dangerous, and counterfeit or inferior products are common.
• Lost knowledge and ancient technology: The chapter introduces the decline of ancient techniques after the destruction of the Alternate-Identity Style. Modern practitioners must reconstruct lost knowledge from fragments and relics.
• Trust and exploitation: The history of masters and disciples reflects a society damaged by suspicion, manipulation, and the fear of becoming someone else’s alternate identity.

Character Interactions

• Nameless bargains with the Minotaur over the Nine-Star Pearl but calmly walks away when they cannot agree.
• The Minotaur later negotiates with the pig-snouted reporter and crocodile reporter, allowing them to compete for the pearl’s purchase.
• The two reporters indirectly compete because both believe Nameless’s interest signals hidden value.
• Nameless does not witness or react to their bidding war, remaining focused on exploring the larger treasure shops.

Chapter Summary: “Unlucky Crocodile”

Key Plot Points and Events

• Nameless visits Thousand Treasures Pavilion on Treasure Gambling Street, where customers inspect fragments of ancient divine artifacts to determine whether they are genuine.
• He examines a bronze-colored fragment covered in grime and green fuzz. Although its runes resemble those of the Oracle Stone, Nameless concludes that the fragment is probably fake because the Oracle Stone’s scribbles only possess power due to the Transcender’s influence.
• Another customer immediately occupies Nameless’s former position, assuming the fragment may be valuable because Nameless studied it. Nameless recognizes the man’s intentions but chooses not to warn him, refusing to take responsibility for the consequences.
• Jade Rabbit, a fan from the Medicine Rabbit Tribe, approaches Nameless and gives him a bottle of pills. She sensed the faint, ominous aura of the Eternal Silence Space surrounding him and hopes the medicine will help.
• The pills contain a powerful vitality that removes a small trace of the Eternal Silence Space’s aura from Nameless, surprising him and making him appreciate Jade Rabbit’s unusual ability.
• Elsewhere, a crocodile man swallows the Nine-Star Pearl that Nameless had previously shown interest in. Believing Nameless’s interest indicates that the pearl is valuable, he gambles on it despite possibly overpaying.
• The pearl turns out to be counterfeit and contains the power of a Nine-Star Demon Spirit rather than a harmless Star Spirit. Golden patterns spread across the crocodile man’s body, and nine demonic faces manifest behind him.
• The Demon Spirit overwhelms his mind, causing his body to expand and lose control. He transforms into a rampaging monster, destroys the inn, and roars into the sky.

Character Developments

• Nameless: Demonstrates his ability to judge artifacts and understand the origins of unusual powers. He remains cautious and detached, refusing to interfere when another customer tries to imitate his choices. His reaction to Jade Rabbit shows curiosity and mild amusement, while the pills reveal that even his powerful aura can be affected by specialized medicine.
• Jade Rabbit: Shows courage despite her nervousness. Her admiration for Nameless motivates her to help him, and her alchemical skills prove capable of detecting and counteracting the faint aura of the Eternal Silence Space.
• The Crocodile Man: Is portrayed as greedy and overly reliant on Nameless’s judgment. His decision to buy the Nine-Star Pearl is driven by the assumption that Nameless’s interest guarantees its value. His gamble ends disastrously when the pearl releases a Demon Spirit and destroys his sanity.
• Nameless’s observers: Other customers treat his actions as possible clues in their own treasure gambling, highlighting his reputation and influence within the Divine Treasure Space.

Significant Themes

• The dangers of imitation and assumption: The customer who follows Nameless’s movements and the crocodile man who buys the pearl both mistake Nameless’s actions for reliable endorsements.
• Treasure gambling and uncertainty: Even experienced cultivators cannot always distinguish genuine artifacts from sophisticated counterfeits, making greed and overconfidence dangerous.
• The consequences of counterfeit power: A fake or improperly prepared treasure can contain catastrophic hidden risks, as demonstrated by the Demon Spirit sealed within the Nine-Star Pearl.
• Fate, karma, and responsibility: Nameless deliberately avoids warning the customer because he does not want to inherit responsibility for another person’s decision. The chapter suggests that personal choices carry their own consequences.
• The difference between living and dead spiritual entities: The explanation of Star Spirits shows how mistaken assumptions during the extraction process can create Demon Spirits capable of spreading destruction.
• Hidden auras and specialized abilities: Jade Rabbit’s ability to sense Nameless’s lingering aura emphasizes that even subtle traces of power can be detected by those with the right knowledge.

Character Interactions

• Nameless interacts briefly with the opportunistic customer but silently refuses to help him.
• Jade Rabbit nervously approaches Nameless, introduces herself, gives him medicine, and quickly leaves after revealing that she is his fan.
• Nameless examines the medicine and discovers that it can neutralize part of the dangerous aura around him.
• The crocodile man does not directly confront Nameless, but his actions are shaped by Nameless’s reputation and perceived interest in the Nine-Star Pearl. His later misfortune creates an indirect contrast between Nameless’s caution and the crocodile man’s reckless greed.

Chapter Summary: “A Thing Overcomes Another Thing”

Key Plot Points and Events

• Nameless discovers that an unremarkable triangular fragment can injure the Demon Spirit and immediately uses it against the rampaging Golden Crocodile.
• He sends the fragment into the crocodile’s head and drills through its brain, but the monster survives because it is no longer an ordinary creature.
• The Golden Crocodile kills the fleeing Minotaur by biting his tail and launching the nine monstrous faces on its back into him, leaving only his severed head.
• Nameless continues attacking, eventually destroying one of the crocodile’s eyes. The creature replaces the ruined eye with one of the faces on its back.
• A Level 105 woman from the White Jade City Enforcement Team arrives and uses the Celestial Magic technique “Blazing Sun.” Her magic weakens, burns, and ultimately kills the Golden Crocodile.
• After the battle, medical personnel treat the wounded, damaged shops begin cleanup, and Enforcement Bureau officers investigate the incident.
• Several people falsely claim ownership of the fragment, hoping to obtain it. Nameless exposes one fraud when the fragment shatters a swordsman’s blade, then keeps the fragment for himself.
• Nameless returns home after giving his statement, intending to study the mysterious object.

Character Developments

• Nameless recognizes the fragment’s extraordinary value but also realizes that his own knowledge and abilities are incomplete. Although his combat strength is impressive, he lacks the breadth of specialized techniques possessed by older, higher-level experts.
• His frustration grows when the fragment cannot immediately defeat the Golden Crocodile, but he remains persistent and eventually damages it significantly.
• Nameless becomes more cautious and curious about the fragment, concluding that it likely has an unknown owner and a hidden history.
• The Golden Crocodile is shown to possess immense vitality and regenerative abilities, surviving brain destruction and replacing a destroyed eye with one of its back-mounted faces.
• The Enforcement Team woman demonstrates that specialized abilities can overcome enemies that raw strength and level cannot defeat.

Significant Themes

• Specialized ability versus level: The chapter emphasizes that strength is not determined solely by numerical Level. The woman’s Celestial Magic succeeds where Nameless’s attacks fail because it is the appropriate counter to the crocodile.
• The importance of knowledge and preparation: Nameless acknowledges that older experts have accumulated vast knowledge and abilities over enormous periods of time, while his rapid growth has left gaps in his foundation.
• Hidden value in ordinary objects: The fragment appears worthless but contains power capable of harming powerful beings. Its inconspicuous nature explains why its owner and others failed to recognize its importance.
• Greed and opportunism: After witnessing the fragment’s power, bystanders immediately lie about owning it, revealing their willingness to exploit Nameless’s discovery.
• Limits of individual strength: Even Nameless cannot resolve the crisis alone, showing the need for cooperation and specialized expertise.

Character Interactions

• Nameless directly confronts the Golden Crocodile, repeatedly attacking it with the fragment while the creature focuses on killing the Minotaur.
• The Golden Crocodile’s violent attack on the Minotaur establishes its brutality and removes one of its major enemies.
• The Enforcement Team woman intervenes after Nameless’s attacks prove insufficient, using her Celestial Magic to finish the crocodile and save the survivors.
• Afterward, various shopkeepers, passersby, and a wandering swordsman attempt to claim the fragment. Nameless exposes their dishonesty and intimidates them into retreating.
• Nameless cooperates with the authorities by giving a statement but otherwise withdraws from the aftermath to investigate the fragment privately.

• Nameless takes responsibility for studying the fragment and cautions everyone that even minor carelessness could result in death.
• The group discovers in the Book of Nameless that the object is a fragment of the Heaven-Origin Purifying Water Sword.
• They investigate the sword’s origins through the Oracle Network and Gao Shanggong, but neither source has reliable information because the weapon likely originated in a distant past civilization.
• Gao Shanggong examines the fragment and confirms that it contains an extraordinarily powerful force. His attempt to inspect it causes him to cough blood, though he gains some insight into its nature.

• Big Yellow accidentally insults Zhang Shouzhong and quickly attempts to flatter his way out of trouble.
• Cheng Xuejie remains practical and outspoken, criticizing Zhang’s unwillingness to arrange proper repairs and questioning the group’s passive staring at the fragment.
• Maria supports Nameless and helps maintain order, reminding Cheng Xuejie that everyone is concentrating.
• Lin Renmei contributes a practical suggestion by proposing that the fragment be placed in the Nameless Sea.

Significant Themes

• The power of ancient civilizations: Gao Shanggong emphasizes that older eras may have produced abilities and technologies equal to or greater than those of the present.
• Caution versus curiosity: Lucifer and Gao Shanggong are willing to risk injury to uncover the fragment’s secrets, while others argue that leaving it untouched would be safer.
• Purification and corruption: The fragment’s purifying power may provide a counterforce to the Eternal Silence Space, suggesting a possible weapon against its destructive influence.
• Uncertainty and hidden origins: The sword’s creator, wielder, true abilities, and history remain unknown, while the lingering power within the fragment may even belong to another sword.

• Nameless returns to the Refuge at the bottom of the Eternal Silence Prison Tower and discovers that the situation has drastically worsened: the entire area has been corrupted, and Eternal Silence Space is leaking into it.
• He finds Catwoman Jessica transformed by Corruption. She has multiple faces and arms and is eating the three little fairies, who have also been corrupted.
• Nameless battles Jessica at high speed while using Life-Giving Stone Essence bullets to clear Corruption from the surroundings. The bullets do not destroy the Corruption but push it away.
• He eventually uses a Vitality Bomb, which removes the Corruption from Jessica and leaves her dead. However, the displaced Corruption accumulates just outside the newly purified area, revealing that the problem has only been relocated rather than solved.

Character Developments

• After dealing with Jessica, Nameless examines the ruined Refuge and worries that the Eternal Silence Prison Tower has suffered even greater damage during his absence.
• He activates the Oracle Stone’s live-stream function to contact Gao Shanggong and the other cultivators. He secretly buries Jessica’s corpse before beginning the broadcast.
• Nameless explains to viewers that he is trapped inside the Eternal Silence Prison Tower in the Eternal Silence Space, which is close to collapse. If it cannot be repaired, the imprisoned monsters may escape into the All Heavens and Myriad Realms and cause widespread destruction.
• The live stream is connected to the Divine Light Screen so that cultivators can observe the rescue mission and potentially assist him. The crisis is treated as a special rescue operation rather than a secret.
• Nameless heads toward the suspected leak in the tower. The passage leading from the Refuge has been corrupted by black sludge-like material, suggesting that the Corruption entered through it and infected Jessica and the three little monsters.
• Blaming himself for previously sparing Pangolin, Nameless destroys the corrupted passage with Vitality Bullets and searches for a way out.
• Viewers identify his location as the Martial Arena and inform him that the route ahead is a ventilation shaft. They also suggest that Pangolin may be hiding in the nearby jailer changing room.

• The changing room is sealed by corruption. When Nameless opens it, a terrifying aura erupts, triggering his instincts and forcing him to retreat.
• He attacks the aura with Vitality Bullets and a Vitality Bomb. The bomb disperses it into black sludge, but Nameless remains uncertain about what the substance is and what lies inside the changing room.

Character Developments

• Nameless becomes more responsible and decisive. He openly accepts the danger of the situation and takes personal responsibility for the Refuge’s destruction, particularly for having allowed Pangolin to escape.

Chapter Summary: “Additional Support”

Key Plot Points and Events

• After waiting cautiously in the silent corridor, Nameless enters the locker room using a mirror to scout ahead.

• Nameless searches the lockers but finds nothing useful, then proceeds toward the cafeteria.
• Following Gao Shanggong’s advice, he examines the cafeteria wall, which borders the outside of the Eternal Silence Prison Tower.
• He discovers a fist-sized crack in the wall and sees a smooth black monster attempting to squeeze through from Eternal Silence Space.
• When the creature retreats, dangerous black power leaks through the opening. Nameless attacks the gap with gunfire and a Vitality Bomb, eventually sealing the crack with the bomb’s white fluid.
• The discovery suggests that new monsters may be forming in Eternal Silence Space and possibly attempting to enter the prison to rescue or join other creatures.
• Alarmed by the development, the Scholar Foundation decides to provide Nameless with additional support. They plan to use a rare item to teleport supplies directly into the prison within thirty minutes.
• Nameless continues exploring and approaches the restroom, where he suspects Pangolin is hiding.
• The chapter ends with Pangolin asleep inside the restroom, secretly planning to use the Black Tide to destroy the Refuge and kill Nameless. As Nameless opens the door, Pangolin believes Nameless must already be dead.

Chapter Summary: “Eliminating the Threat”

Key Plot Points and Events

• Nameless finds Pangolin hiding in the restroom. Pangolin panics and begs for his life, offering to reveal a secret.
• Nameless kills him decisively: he restrains Pangolin with an energy arm, pins him with a sword, destroys his head with laser beams, and obliterates his soul before it can be corrupted by the Eternal Silence Space.
• He burns Pangolin’s body to ashes and confirms that the restroom contains no cracks or immediate dangers.
• Viewers debate whether Pangolin deserved death and whether Nameless should have searched his soul for information. Nameless explains that Pangolin likely knew little of importance because the prisoners do not even understand the true nature of the Eternal Silence Prison Tower.
• Returning through the corridor, Nameless checks the cafeteria, where a crack is being sealed by a Life-Giving Stone Concentrate. He worries that the monster outside the tower may eventually break through.
• Commenters explain that ordinary seals may not work against the monsters of Eternal Silence Space and warn that Mental Strength or Psychokinesis can transmit contamination back to the user’s soul.
• Nameless confirms that he has deliberately avoided using these abilities, despite possessing enough power to search an entire planet, because doing so inside the tower would risk soul contamination.
• He places another Vitality Bomb near the cafeteria crack and asks the Foundation for more bullets and bombs.
• The Foundation promises to cooperate with other factions and supply the materials, increasing Nameless’s confidence in repairing and defending the prison tower.

Character Developments

• Nameless: Demonstrates ruthless efficiency and emotional detachment in killing Pangolin. His actions are motivated less by revenge than by eliminating a dangerous threat and preventing soul contamination. He also reveals his caution and strategic restraint: although his Mental Strength is extraordinarily powerful, he refuses to use it in the tower because he understands the risks.
• Pangolin: Is reduced from a hidden threat to a terrified and ultimately helpless prisoner. His attempted manipulation through a promised secret fails, showing that fear and desperation cannot influence Nameless.
• The viewers and Foundation: The viewers gain a clearer understanding of the tower’s dangers, while the Foundation becomes more actively supportive by promising additional resources.

Significant Themes

• Justice and consequences: Pangolin’s death reflects the idea that those who attempt to kill others must accept the possibility of being killed themselves.
• Pragmatism over revenge: Nameless kills Pangolin because he is dangerous, not because he takes pleasure in vengeance.
• The danger of contamination: Even seemingly minor exposure to Eternal Silence Space can be fatal to mortals and souls, making the environment a constant threat.
• Limits of power: Nameless possesses immense abilities but must deliberately restrict himself. Greater power does not remove the need for caution.
• Cooperation and resource scarcity: Defending the tower requires costly bullets and Vitality Bombs, emphasizing the practical limitations of even powerful characters and the importance of outside support.

• Nameless and the Foundation: Nameless requests additional supplies, and the Foundation agrees to mobilize other factions to help him protect and repair the Eternal Silence Prison Tower.

Chapter Summary: Demonic Cultivator

Key Plot Points and Events

• At the bottom of the Eternal Silence Prison Tower, the corridors form a swastika-shaped layout. After killing Pangolin, Nameless returns toward the Warden’s Office, one of the remaining unexplored areas.
• Inside the Warden’s Office, black threads transform creatures accidentally teleported into the prison into cocoons. Skeleton-like spiders carry the cocoons through a rift into a gigantic, fanged mouth, where the victims are crushed and consumed. Later, a Skeleton Spider emerges from the mouth.
• Xiao Yao awakens trapped inside one of the cocoons. He remembers his master striking him in grief and anger, but does not know whether he has been imprisoned, transported, or sealed.
• Xiao Yao attempts to escape using the Blood Fiend Soul-Severing Blade, a powerful demonic technique that converts blood and souls into strength. However, the cocoon is too durable for him to pierce, and repeated attempts quickly exhaust him.
• A trapped cultivator speaks to him through their thoughts and reveals himself as Zhou Liren, the legendary master of the same demonic technique. Zhou has been trapped for years and believes this place may be hell, suggesting that even ascension could be an illusion.
• Outside, Nameless cautiously approaches the Warden’s Office, killing numerous Skeleton Spiders along the way. He uses a Vitality Bomb before entering, weakening the strange membranes around the corpses inside.
• Nameless enters the office and discovers the rift and the remains of creatures that had been wrapped in the cocoon-like membranes.

Character Developments

• Xiao Yao: His desperation reveals how far he has fallen from his orthodox upbringing. Though he once restricted himself to killing people he believed deserved death, the rapid power growth from the demonic technique became addictive, eventually leading him to kill innocents. He now considers killing even his powerful master if it would allow him to gain freedom and strength.
• Zhou Liren: His appearance connects Xiao Yao’s technique to its most famous practitioner. Despite his legendary power, Zhou is helplessly trapped, undermining Xiao Yao’s confidence and suggesting that the prison contains forces beyond ordinary cultivation.
• Nameless: He continues acting cautiously and strategically. Rather than enter the dangerous office immediately, he uses Vitality Bombs to clear or weaken threats first. He is also supported by coordinated forces from different worlds, who are producing more weapons and explosives.

Significant Themes

• The corrupting nature of power: Xiao Yao initially rationalized demonic cultivation as a way to punish evil, but the pleasure of rapid advancement gradually destroyed his moral boundaries.
• Despair and imprisonment: Both Xiao Yao and Zhou Liren are trapped in cocoons with little hope of escape, while the surrounding prison appears designed to process and destroy living beings.
• The uncertainty of life, death, and ascension: Zhou’s suggestion that the prison may be hell—and that ascension might be false—casts doubt on the nature of the cultivation world.
• Caution versus recklessness: Nameless’s tactical use of explosives contrasts with Xiao Yao’s desperate attempts to force his way out, emphasizing the value of preparation in an unknown environment.
• The cycle of predation: The Skeleton Spiders, rift, monstrous mouth, and emerging new spider suggest a horrifying system in which victims are consumed and transformed into new threats.

Character Interactions

• Xiao Yao communicates mentally with Zhou Liren after discovering he cannot speak aloud.
• Zhou warns Xiao Yao to abandon his escape attempts, explaining that even he cannot break the cocoon.
• Xiao Yao is shocked to learn that the legendary figure who perfected his technique is trapped alongside him.
• Nameless communicates with the barrage audience, receiving reassurance that reinforcements and additional weapons are being prepared.
• The chapter ends as Nameless enters the Warden’s Office and begins investigating the rift and the cocoon-covered remains.

Chapter Summary: “The Uncorrupted”

Key Plot Points and Events

• Zhou Liren and Xiao Yao remain hidden beneath corpses in the warden’s office, using suspended animation to avoid detection by Nameless. Zhou warns Xiao Yao not to reveal themselves because Nameless’s intentions are uncertain.
• Nameless investigates a crack leading to Eternal Silence Space. Unlike another crack elsewhere, it is not blocked by monsters, yet the corrupting power of Eternal Silence Space is not escaping through it.
• After Nameless throws a Vitality Bomb through the crack, it begins shrinking. When he approaches, a black thread attacks him, followed by countless bones that form a gigantic Skeleton Spider.
• The Skeleton Spider’s outer bones protect it from Nameless’s Life-Giving Stone Essence bullets, forcing him to rely on his own abilities, including lasers and energy arms.
• The battle damages the surrounding corpses, placing Xiao Yao in danger. When Xiao Yao tells Zhou Liren he cannot endure much longer, Zhou unexpectedly attacks him with a blood-red sword, draining his blood and vitality.
• Xiao Yao deliberately cries out for help, alerting Nameless and distracting him. Nameless uses his ability to exchange positions with Xiao Yao, causing the Skeleton Spider to pierce Zhou Liren instead.
• Zhou Liren mutates into part of the Skeleton Spider’s forelimb, while Nameless rescues Xiao Yao and questions why both men have avoided corruption. Nameless observes that Zhou was only corrupted after dying, unlike the other corpses.
• Nameless defeats the Skeleton Spider by slicing it in half with the Ancient Eye-Cutting Frozen Light Technique, then destroys its tentacles with gunfire.
• He throws five Vitality Bombs at the crack, killing or trapping the monsters attempting to enter the office. The office is left covered in Life-Giving Stone Essence, with corpses and tentacles sealed beneath it.
• After ensuring the area is safe, Nameless exits the office and turns his attention to the injured Xiao Yao.

Character Developments

• Nameless: Demonstrates caution and tactical intelligence. He avoids blindly approaching the mysterious crack, adapts his fighting style when ordinary weapons prove ineffective, rescues Xiao Yao, and uses his spatial ability to turn the Skeleton Spider’s attack against Zhou Liren.
• Xiao Yao: Initially obedient and fearful, Xiao Yao reveals considerable desperation and resourcefulness. Though badly wounded and drained by Zhou Liren, he risks exposing everyone by calling for help, correctly judging that Nameless may intervene.
• Zhou Liren: Reveals himself to be treacherous and ruthless by attacking Xiao Yao when the latter becomes a liability. His transformation into part of the Skeleton Spider shows the danger of his condition and the consequences of his betrayal.
• The Skeleton Spider: Functions as a powerful guardian or invading monster formed from bones and corrupted energy. Its protective outer shell makes it resistant to conventional attacks, but it is vulnerable to Nameless’s direct abilities.

Significant Themes

• Trust and uncertainty: Nameless cannot determine whether Zhou Liren and Xiao Yao are allies or enemies, while Xiao Yao cannot trust Zhou, who turns on him without warning.
• Corruption and resistance: The chapter emphasizes the mysterious difference between those who are corrupted by Eternal Silence Space and those who remain unaffected while alive.
• Survival through strategy: Physical strength alone is insufficient; Nameless succeeds by observing weaknesses, changing tactics, and using enemy attacks against them.
• Betrayal and desperation: Zhou’s attack and Xiao Yao’s calculated cry for help show how extreme danger drives characters to sacrifice or manipulate one another.
• Life versus death: The contrast between suspended animation, corruption after death, vitality-draining attacks, and Life-Giving Stone Essence reinforces the chapter’s focus on the unstable boundary between life and death.

Important Character Interactions

• Zhou Liren and Xiao Yao: Zhou begins as Xiao Yao’s supposed senior and protector but betrays him when Xiao Yao becomes vulnerable. Xiao Yao responds by exposing their presence and seeking Nameless’s help.
• Nameless and Xiao Yao: Nameless saves Xiao Yao from Zhou and later investigates why he has not been corrupted, suggesting possible interest in or concern for his unusual condition.
• Nameless and Zhou Liren: Nameless indirectly causes the Skeleton Spider to stab Zhou, then leaves him to mutate into part of the monster. Their interaction establishes Nameless’s control over the battlefield and Zhou’s inability to outmaneuver him.
• Nameless and the Skeleton Spider: Their battle highlights the contrast between the monster’s brute force and Nameless’s adaptability, culminating in Nameless’s precise technique destroying it.

Chapter Summary: “Fishing”

Key Plot Points and Events

• Nameless finds the badly injured Xiao Yao after exchanging positions with Zhou Liren during the skeletal spider’s attack. In the process, Nameless had broken Zhou Liren’s blade, causing Zhou Liren to take the fatal blow.
• Nameless examines the broken crimson blade and notices black threads within it consuming tiny red specks. Xiao Yao identifies it as the Blood Fiend Soul-Severing Blade, a demonic weapon that devours blood and souls.
• Xiao Yao claims he is an innocent disciple of the Gentleman's Sword Sect and insists that Zhou Liren forced him to cultivate the blade. Nameless and the livestream viewers recognize that Xiao Yao is likely lying and attempting to shift all blame onto the dead Zhou Liren.
• Viewers urge Nameless to reveal why Xiao Yao and Zhou Liren avoided corruption in the Eternal Silence Space. Nameless admits that he knows the reason but refuses to disclose it, causing some viewers to suspect that he is hiding the secret for personal gain.
• Nameless explains that he has not healed Xiao Yao because he considers Xiao Yao’s crimes unforgivable. When Xiao Yao attacks him in anger, Nameless effortlessly breaks his hand and severs the hand holding the blade with a laser from his eye.
• Rather than kill Xiao Yao directly, Nameless takes the two crimson blades and leaves him to die slowly.
• Xiao Yao’s hatred and desperation trigger a surge of vitality. He begins healing himself with the Gentleman's Sword Sect’s Righteous Vitality Art, vows revenge on Nameless and his former master, and plans to rebuild his strength through demonic cultivation.
• A system suddenly appears in Xiao Yao’s mind: the Demon Path Heavenly Venerable System, created by an ascended demonic expert. The system’s selection of Xiao Yao convinces him that he has survived for a reason and that he is destined for greatness.

Character Developments

• Nameless remains calm, observant, and overwhelmingly powerful. He is suspicious of Xiao Yao’s claims and refuses to reward what he sees as unforgivable evil. Although he claims not to like killing personally, he shows little concern for leaving Xiao Yao to die and deliberately humiliates and cripples him.
• Xiao Yao shifts from feigned helplessness and submissiveness to open rage when Nameless condemns him. His survival instinct, ambition, and hatred intensify, and the appearance of the demonic system transforms his despair into confidence and grand aspirations.
• Zhou Liren is revealed indirectly to have possessed or used the Blood Fiend Soul-Severing Blade, though Xiao Yao’s claim that Zhou Liren forced him to cultivate it is treated as unreliable.
• The livestream audience acts as a collective commentator and source of pressure, encouraging Nameless to investigate the corruption immunity while also becoming suspicious of his motives.

Significant Themes

• Deception and moral hypocrisy: Xiao Yao presents himself as innocent while practicing a clearly demonic art, reflecting the possible hypocrisy suggested by the Gentleman's Sword Sect’s name.
• Power and control of information: Nameless’s refusal to reveal the secret of resisting corruption raises questions about whether knowledge should be shared or guarded.
• Survival through hatred and ambition: Xiao Yao’s desire for revenge gives him the will to endure injuries that should have killed him.
• The unpredictable path of fate: What appears to be certain death becomes the beginning of Xiao Yao’s rise after the Demon Path Heavenly Venerable System chooses him.
• Justice versus cruelty: Nameless views Xiao Yao as deserving death, but his choice to leave him alive to suffer creates a punishment that is arguably more cruel than a swift execution.

• Nameless and the livestream viewers: The viewers question Nameless about Xiao Yao’s corruption resistance. Nameless’s refusal to answer creates tension and suspicion between him and his audience.
• Xiao Yao and Zhou Liren: Though Zhou Liren is dead, Xiao Yao blames him for forcing him to cultivate the demonic blade, likely to escape responsibility.
• Xiao Yao and the Demon Path System: The system becomes the first apparent source of hope and validation in Xiao Yao’s ruined life, reinforcing his belief that he is destined to surpass others and seek revenge.

Chapter Summary: “Blacklisted”

Key Plot Points and Events

• Xiao Yao, whose injuries have mysteriously healed and whose strength has increased, attacks Nameless while secretly intending to escape using Azure Cloud Step.
• Nameless’s Laser Eye instantly destroys Xiao Yao’s Blade Seed and kills him before Xiao Yao can flee.

• Nameless concludes that an unknown force is attempting to prevent the Eternal Silence Prison Tower from being repaired. The tower’s damage threatens all the All Heavens and Myriad Realms by potentially allowing monsters from Eternal Silence Space to invade.
• Nameless burns Xiao Yao’s body completely to eliminate any remaining threat, then follows the sword fragment’s guidance into the Warden’s Office.
• Viewers debate whether Nameless deliberately used Xiao Yao as bait. Some interpret the incident as proof that he is secretly calculating, while others defend his apparent sincerity.
• Nameless blacklists those spreading malicious speculation. A rooster continues posting comments that appear to defend Nameless but subtly undermine his reputation. Because it has been blacklisted, however, its messages are visible only to itself and have no effect on the wider audience.

Character Developments

• Nameless: Demonstrates restraint by refusing to kill a helpless enemy, but also shows overwhelming power and decisive action when attacked. His discovery of the System Badge reveals a wider conspiracy. He remains composed and practical, destroying Xiao Yao’s corpse and continuing his investigation. His act of blacklisting malicious commenters also highlights his control over the Oracle Stone’s communication system.
• Xiao Yao: Returns from near-death in an enhanced state due to the System Badge. Despite recognizing that he cannot defeat Nameless, he misjudges the enormous difference in their abilities and is killed instantly.
• Pan Xi: Provides crucial information about the System Badge, helping identify the external force supporting Xiao Yao.
• The rooster: Acts as a manipulative propagandist, pretending to praise Nameless while attempting to make viewers doubt his motives. Its efforts fail because Nameless has already blacklisted it.

Significant Themes

• Appearance versus reality: Viewers disagree over whether Nameless is genuinely merciful or merely manipulating events. The chapter deliberately leaves his true intentions ambiguous.
• Hidden conspiracies and external interference: The System Badge proves that Xiao Yao was supported by an unseen enemy seeking to obstruct the repair of the Eternal Silence Prison Tower.
• Responsibility and the greater good: Nameless’s actions are connected to the safety of countless worlds, making the tower’s repair a universal concern rather than a personal mission.
• Power and misjudgment: Xiao Yao’s failure comes from understanding that Nameless is powerful without comprehending the vast scale of the difference between them.
• Information control and public perception: The Oracle Stone allows commentary to shape public opinion, while Nameless’s blacklist prevents malicious narratives from spreading.

Character Interactions

• Nameless directly addresses the viewers, explaining the sword fragment, his moral limits, and the danger posed by the damaged tower.
• Xiao Yao confronts Nameless with a false attack intended to create an escape opportunity, but Nameless immediately kills him.

Chapter Summary: “Water Divine Stone”

Key Plot Points and Events

• In the Warden’s office, Nameless discovers that a cabinet has been completely encased in an ultra-concentrated form of Life-Giving Stone Essence.
• The hardened essence is extremely valuable and serves as a barrier preventing Corruption from leaking out of the Eternal Silence Space below. Cutting through it would require significant resources and another Vitality Bomb to reseal the opening.
• Although Nameless initially hesitates because of the enormous cost, a viewer urges him to investigate the fragment hidden inside, believing it may be important enough to justify the expense.
• Using the Ancient Eye-Cutting Frozen Light Technique, Nameless cuts open the hardened essence and retrieves a blue gem marked with an Ancient God Clan rune meaning “water.”
• The gem causes Nameless to feel noticeably more comfortable inside the Eternal Silence Prison Tower, as though refreshing water is flowing through his body.
• After sealing the opening with a Vitality Bomb, Nameless notices that the mysterious fragment—which had led him to the cabinet—no longer reacts or displays any power.
• Pan Xi suggests that the gem may be the legendary Water Divine Stone, one of the five elemental stones once set into the Divine Race’s Five-Elements Crown.
• Viewers become excited and begin speculating about the gem’s identity, with some even offering to buy it. Nameless ends the chapter by wondering how the Water Divine Stone can be used.

Character Developments

• Nameless demonstrates caution and responsibility by weighing the enormous cost and danger of cutting into the Life-Giving Stone Essence. He ultimately chooses discovery over conservation after considering the fragment’s possible importance.
• His growing curiosity and analytical nature are emphasized as he compares the fragment and gem, tests their interaction, and tries to understand why the fragment’s guidance vanished.
• Pan Xi acts as an informed advisor, identifying the gem’s possible connection to the Ancient God Clan and providing crucial historical information.
• The viewers function as an active force in the investigation, encouraging Nameless to take risks and showing strong interest in the legendary treasure.

Significant Themes

• The cost of knowledge: Discovering the gem requires consuming rare, expensive resources and risking the release of Corruption.
• Ancient mysteries and lost civilizations: The gem connects the present to the vanished Ancient God Clan and its legendary artifacts.
• Power and danger: The Water Divine Stone may grant extraordinary elemental abilities, but its true nature and function remain unknown.
• Unresolved connections: The fragment’s reaction to the gem suggests a deeper relationship that Nameless has not yet deciphered.

• A viewer encourages him to cut open the hardened essence, persuading him that the hidden object may be exceptionally valuable.
• Nameless communicates with the audience while investigating the gem and openly shares his confusion about its connection to the fragment.
• Pan Xi provides the key interpretation that the gem may be the Water Divine Stone, causing the audience’s excitement and speculation to intensify.

Chapter Summary: “Sword Spirit”

Key Plot Points and Events

• Nameless and the viewers speculate about how to use the Water Divine Stone. Suggestions include placing it in a crown, claiming it with blood, or infusing it with emotions.
• Nameless tests several absurd possibilities:
  • He sets the stone into a gold crown and wears it, but notices no effect.
  • He reshapes the gold into a glove and tries again, with the same result.
  • He drips blood onto the stone’s rune, but nothing happens.
• Though some viewers believe Nameless is merely pretending to experiment, he genuinely considers every possibility. His experience with mysterious treasures and Rule Secret Arts has taught him that seemingly ridiculous methods can sometimes work.
• Following a viewer’s suggestion, Nameless pours his chaotic emotions into the Water Divine Stone. The stone suddenly emits blue light.
• The blue energy is drawn into the mysterious fragment Nameless carries. Realizing this may be the fragment’s intended energy source, Nameless repeats the process and continues feeding it his emotions.
• A viewer warns that the fragment may contain a sealed monster that could awaken after absorbing Nameless’s power. Nameless remains unconcerned because he is inside the Eternal Silence Prison Tower, where he can control the available energy and deal with any threat.
• Nameless continues toward the guards’ office area, the only section of the prison he has not yet cleared. Once it is confirmed safe, he plans to return to the Martial Arena and proceed to the first floor.
• Before reaching the guards’ office, the fragment activates. Pale blue energy emerges, and a childish voice introduces herself as “Shui’er,” addressing Nameless as “Master” and asking how long she has been asleep.

Character Developments

• Nameless: Displays a mixture of curiosity, patience, playfulness, and calculated confidence. He is willing to test unconventional ideas rather than dismiss them. His control over the situation also reveals his strategic understanding of energy and the prison tower.
• Yeqin: Recognizes that Nameless is partly performing for the audience and views his behavior with amused exasperation. Her familiarity with him highlights their previous cooperation and her understanding of his personality.
• The viewers: Act as a collective source of theories and commentary. Their guesses guide Nameless’s experiments, while their reactions range from skepticism to excitement and concern.
• Shui’er: Makes her first appearance at the end of the chapter as a mysterious, childlike entity connected to the fragment and the Water Divine Stone. Her calling Nameless “Master” suggests that he may have unintentionally awakened or activated her.

Significant Themes

• The value of unconventional thinking: The chapter emphasizes that absurd or counterintuitive methods may produce real results when dealing with mysterious powers.
• Knowledge versus speculation: Neither Nameless nor the viewers truly understand the Water Divine Stone, so progress depends on experimentation rather than established knowledge.
• Control over power: Nameless believes that controlling a being’s energy supply is more important than merely knowing its strength, allowing him to remain confident even when awakening an unknown entity.
• Awakening and hidden identities: The fragment’s activation raises questions about Shui’er’s origins, her relationship to the Water Divine Stone, and whether she is a sealed spirit, weapon, or other ancient existence.

Character Interactions

• Nameless exchanges humorous and argumentative comments with the viewers as they propose ways to use the Water Divine Stone.
• Yeqin watches his broadcast and internally criticizes his exaggerated behavior, demonstrating her familiarity with him.
• The viewers warn Nameless about the danger of awakening something sealed inside the fragment, but he reassures them that the Eternal Silence Prison Tower gives him an advantage.
• The chapter ends with Shui’er directly addressing Nameless as her master, creating a new relationship and cliffhanger.

Chapter Summary: “Great Demon”

Key Plot Points and Events

• The energy within the Heaven-Origin Purifying Water Sword transforms into a small blue girl, who identifies herself as the sword’s living form.
• She claims to be the disciple—or beloved sword—of the famous Phantom Moon Sword God, Hu Zhongyue, and threatens Nameless for “kidnapping” her.
• Nameless and the livestream audience reveal that no one has heard of Hu Zhongyue, suggesting that the girl has slept for an extraordinarily long time.
• The girl discovers that her original sword body has deteriorated into fragments. Believing her master must have died because the sword is effectively dead, she breaks down in tears.
• Nameless comforts her by suggesting that her survival represents a new life and that her master would not want her to remain consumed by grief.
• As Nameless reaches the prison guards’ office area, he encounters a monstrous arm emerging from inside. The girl recognizes it as belonging to the terrifying “Great Demon.”
• Nameless battles the creature, using Vitality Bombs and Life-Giving Stone Essence to immobilize its arm and seal the crack through which it attacked.
• Once the immediate threat is contained, the girl remembers that her master fought the Great Demon for a long time to protect their homeland. She concludes that the demon likely killed him.
• Her tears cleanse the remaining Corruption in the office area, restoring it to normal.

Character Developments

• Nameless remains calm, practical, and compassionate. Although he initially treats the girl’s claims skeptically, he patiently comforts her and protects her from the Great Demon.
• The blue girl begins as arrogant and defensive, relying heavily on her master’s reputation. Discovering that her body has decayed and that her master is probably dead causes her confidence to collapse. She gradually confronts the loss of her former life and begins remembering her past.
• The girl’s tears are revealed to possess powerful purifying abilities, capable of resisting and cleansing the Corruption of Eternal Silence Space.

Significant Themes

• Loss and grief: The girl struggles to accept the disappearance of her master and the destruction of her original body.
• The passage of time: The forgotten reputation of Hu Zhongyue suggests that countless ages have passed since the girl’s former life.
• New life and acceptance: Nameless encourages her to treat her survival as a second chance rather than a reason to remain trapped in sorrow.

Chapter Summary: “Incomplete Memories”

Key Plot Points and Events

• Nameless explains the danger surrounding the Eternal Silence Prison Tower: if its damage cannot be repaired, the monsters sealed inside will escape and cause catastrophic destruction.
• To help the grieving and despairing Shui’er, Nameless gives her a mission and asks her to assist in repairing the tower. She agrees, becoming his new ally.
• They leave the prison guard office and prepare to advance toward the first floor, where dangerous prisoners are sealed. Nameless warns Shui’er to hide inside the Heaven-Origin Purifying Water Sword if necessary.
• Shui’er suddenly begins shrinking and weakening. Nameless realizes that her existence is unstable and uses the Water Divine Stone to replenish her energy and stabilize her body.
• Nameless determines that Shui’er can survive only through the damaged sword fragment and the Water Divine Stone. Repairing the sword—or transferring her to another vessel—might save her, but transferring her could cause her to lose the sword’s purification ability. Shui’er refuses to abandon the sword, insisting that it is part of her identity.
• Nameless creates a bracelet containing both the Water Divine Stone and the sword fragment, allowing him to continuously supply her with emotional energy.
• He then searches the Refuge’s ruins for the Life-Giving Stone, where the Record of the Wrongfully Accused and Tianxing Mingyue are believed to be located.
• While interacting with viewers through the Oracle Stone, Shui’er is asked about her former master, Phantom Moon Sword God Hu Zhongyue. She remembers that he once fought a gigantic fish threatening his world, but cannot recall the battle itself.
• Shui’er discovers that many of her memories are missing, including her master’s appearance. Her distress causes her to cry, and her tears purify the Corruption in the ruined houses.

Character Developments

• Nameless demonstrates his practical, rescue-oriented nature. Rather than comforting Shui’er through sympathy alone, he gives her a concrete purpose and turns her grief into determination.
• He also shows resourcefulness by diagnosing Shui’er’s unstable condition, creating a life-supporting bracelet, and seeking possible solutions for repairing or replacing her sword.
• Shui’er moves from a grieving, frightened girl to a willing collaborator. Although shy and emotionally fragile, she is determined to remain connected to the Heaven-Origin Purifying Water Sword.
• Her discovery of her incomplete memories introduces a deeper vulnerability: she has lost important parts of her past, especially memories of her master and their shared experiences.
• Shui’er’s tears are revealed to possess powerful purifying properties, linking her emotional state directly to the group’s mission.

Significant Themes

• Purpose as a means of healing: Nameless helps Shui’er cope with despair by giving her meaningful work and a role in saving others.
• Identity and attachment: Shui’er believes she is inseparable from the Heaven-Origin Purifying Water Sword, showing how identity can be tied to an object, origin, or relationship.
• Memory and loss: The chapter emphasizes the pain of remembering that something happened while being unable to recall the details. Shui’er’s inability to remember Hu Zhongyue’s appearance makes her loss especially devastating.
• Emotion as power: Nameless channels emotion into the Water Divine Stone, while Shui’er’s tears purify Corruption. Emotional suffering is therefore both a burden and a source of strength.
• Humor amid danger: The exchange about Shui’er trying to cry—and Nameless crudely suggesting that she “pee it out”—provides comic relief while also highlighting their developing, teasing relationship.

Character Interactions

• Nameless and Shui’er form a cooperative partnership based on mutual trust. He protects her and explains the dangers ahead, while she agrees to help despite uncertainty.
• Their conversation about her unstable body shows Nameless’s concern and Shui’er’s strong attachment to her sword.
• Their humorous argument over Nameless’s inappropriate suggestion lightens the otherwise serious atmosphere and reveals Shui’er’s growing willingness to challenge him.
• Shui’er begins interacting with the viewers, responding shyly to their greetings and enthusiastically discussing her master.
• The viewers’ questions unintentionally trigger Shui’er’s painful realization that key memories of her past have disappeared, leading directly to her emotional breakdown and the purification of the ruins.

• The farmer hears voices among the sweet potato seedlings and realizes that someone—or something—has finally made a move. Before he can investigate, he collapses and is completely buried by the surrounding soil, leaving no trace.
• In Chicken-Eating World, a chicken-headed man watches the Oracle Stone livestream and reacts uneasily to Nameless killing Xiao Yao. He initially orders skewers made from mortals and cultivators, but after hearing a mysterious voice, he abandons the order and leaves. His sinister farewell implies that the shop’s employees may become the food instead.
• In a shattered world, a gigantic black serpent awakens from its sleep in an abyss filled with skeletons. Sensing that another meeting has begun and that the world is approaching a major transformation, it seals the abyss with black vapor.
• The Fictional Alliance, normally convened only once every ten million years, summons all its members after only a thousand years. The unusual timing suggests that the Eternal Silence Prison Tower—and possibly Nameless’s actions—poses a serious threat or signals an approaching upheaval.
• Members gather in the Imaginary Sea, where bizarre beings—including Chick, Big Sweet Potato, Big Fortune Cakes, an octopus creature, and others—appear amid widespread chaos.
• The Alliance Leader arrives in the form of a gigantic mouth. It eats one of the descending angels before beginning the meeting and announces that the central topic is the Eternal Silence Prison Tower.

• The old farmer is shown to possess powerful divination abilities, though even he cannot determine Nameless’s true intentions. His sudden disappearance suggests that he may have been eliminated, hidden, or transformed by an unknown force.
• The chicken-headed man appears to be a dangerous and predatory cultivator. His reaction to Nameless’s victory reveals that he is paying close attention to current events, while his decision to leave the shop hints at a cruel or threatening nature.

• Big Sweet Potato and the other bizarre creatures retain their eccentric personalities, treating the extraordinary meeting casually and comedically.
• The Alliance Leader is portrayed as overwhelmingly powerful, enormous, domineering, and casually violent. It can alter other beings’ identities or forms, as shown when it threatens the dragon and turns it into a bug.
• Bird King is revealed to possess a system badge, suggesting a connection to the larger system-related mysteries, although he denies creating Nameless’s system.

Significant Themes

• Impending change and instability: The premature Fictional Alliance meeting, the serpent’s warning, and the farmer’s disappearance all indicate that the worlds are approaching a major crisis or transformation.
• Uncertainty surrounding Nameless: Even powerful or knowledgeable figures cannot determine whether Nameless is genuinely acting or concealing a deeper plan.
• Power beyond conventional authority: The coin’s symbolism contrasts true contributions to humanity with political power, while the Alliance consists of beings whose abilities far exceed ordinary rulers and cultivators.
• Absurdity and dark comedy: The chapter repeatedly combines grotesque violence with ridiculous humor—such as angels defecating during their performance, a dragon embracing its new identity as “Bug Bug God,” and Chick discussing whether he would be the cook or the dish.
• Individualism and detachment: Alliance members care primarily about cultivation and personal interests. Even a gathering meant to address a potentially world-altering threat is filled with bickering, jokes, and indifference.
• The limits of knowledge and prediction: Divination fails, identities and systems remain unclear, and even ancient beings can only sense that change is coming without knowing its exact form.

Character Interactions

• The old farmer privately questions Nameless’s motives before being interrupted by the mysterious voices in the field.

Chapter Summary: “Truth-Answering Cat”

Key Plot Points and Events

• Peacock recalls that Sweet Potato God possesses a system badge, prompting suspicion that he may have placed a badge inside the Eternal Silence Prison Tower. Sweet Potato denies involvement, explaining that although he owns a badge, he cannot put it in the tower.
• The Fictional Alliance debates whether the Prison Tower is important enough to justify their meeting. Big-Mouth Alliance Leader reveals that the tower supposedly contains the secret of Transcendence and offers everyone access to the Imaginary Sea for a hundred years if they retrieve it.
• Skeptics point out that the Alliance Leader previously made similar claims about the Divine Treasure Space, where no one discovered anything useful. Mr. Eye, the Alliance’s foremost information broker, is summoned to verify the claim.
• Mr. Eye explains that a Truth-Answering Cat revealed the path to Transcendence after one of his friends sacrificed three alternate identities. The cat offered four possible answers to the question of how to achieve Transcendence, and entering the Eternal Silence Prison Tower was the correct one.
• Three powerful diviners independently confirm the cat’s answer, convincing the Alliance that the tower truly holds the secret of Transcendence.
• Since Nameless is already inside the tower, having entered while rescuing Baipusen, the Alliance realizes that he may currently be the person closest to Transcendence. Big Fortune Cake, Chick, and Sweet Potato immediately develop murderous intentions toward him.
• The Alliance asks how they can enter the tower. The answer is to accumulate enough sin to be forcibly teleported inside, just as Baipusen and others were. This requires committing repeated acts of violence and murder.
• Big-Mouth Alliance Leader’s suggestion is recognized as a plan to use the Alliance members as expendable cannon fodder. Although the tower is extremely dangerous—even True-Self Heavenly Man may not survive it—many members begin considering the risk.
• As Nameless proceeds toward the tower’s first floor with Tianxing Mingyue’s Life-Giving Stone, the Record of the Wrongfully Accused, and Shui’er, the Alliance members choose different strategies: some remain hidden, some prepare to gamble their lives, and others plan to sacrifice remaining alternate identities.
• An earthworm foresees that the realms may suffer first from the Fictional Alliance’s destructive attempts to gain entry, before any monsters escaping from the tower cause further disaster.

Character Developments and Interactions

• Sweet Potato God defends himself against accusations concerning the system badge and exposes the Alliance Leader’s plan as a deliberate attempt to send others to their deaths.
• Big-Mouth Alliance Leader positions himself as the organizer of the operation, using the promise of Transcendence and access to the Imaginary Sea to motivate the Alliance.
• Mr. Eye serves as the authority validating the tower’s importance, recounting the Truth-Answering Cat’s answer and the diviners’ confirmation.
• Chick and Sweet Potato reveal their existing hostility toward Nameless. Their shared fear of his potential Transcendence turns old grievances into an immediate desire to eliminate him.
• Nameless remains unaware of the Alliance’s discussion while advancing deeper into the tower with Shui’er and the important treasures.
• Alliance members begin evaluating their alternate identities as disposable tools, demonstrating how far they are willing to go for the chance at Transcendence.

Significant Themes

• The pursuit of Transcendence: The possibility of ultimate power drives even cautious or powerful beings to consider entering a nearly unsurvivable prison.
• Truth and deadly certainty: The Truth-Answering Cat cannot be deceived or exploited because it responds to the questioner’s deepest genuine desire, but its wrong answers are fatal.
• Manipulation and expendability: The Alliance Leader presents the tower as an opportunity while effectively encouraging members to serve as cannon fodder.
• Moral corruption: Entry requires accumulating enough sin, meaning cultivators must commit mass violence and murder before they can even attempt the tower’s challenge.
• Fear and opportunism: Some characters hide and wait, while others gamble everything, revealing differing responses to danger and ambition.
• The dangers of unchecked ambition: The Alliance’s attempt to reach the tower threatens to damage the entire world, suggesting that the quest for Transcendence may cause as much destruction as the tower itself.

• Shui'er detects a strong cow-like odor. The group soon discovers an enormous bull leg wedged between a corridor and a prison cell. Its size suggests that the creature it belongs to should have been imprisoned on the tower’s second floor.
• Nameless attempts to cut through the leg with his Laser Eye, but its defenses are too powerful. He then uses the Ancient Eye-Cutting Frozen Light Technique to carve a passage through it.
• Because of the foul smell, Shui'er temporarily retreats into the Heaven-Origin Purifying Water Sword fragment while Nameless prepares to pass through the opening.

Character Developments

• Zeng Xiaofan is introduced as ambitious and immortality-focused. Despite his former life as a reckless womanizer, his rebirth gives him a new goal: becoming a cultivator and living forever. His hopes are destroyed almost immediately by the Minotaur’s attack.
• Zeng’s mother is portrayed as practical and stern, scolding him for neglecting his food while still caring for him. Her sudden death emphasizes the brutality of the attack.
• The Minotaur is established as an overwhelmingly powerful and arrogant force. It casually destroys the Gentleman's Sword Sect and kills cultivators while mocking their weakness.
• Nameless remains cautious and resourceful. He avoids using dangerous powers recklessly because of the corruption within the prison tower, instead relying on a precise rule-based technique to clear the obstruction.
• Shui’er provides emotional reactions and comic relief through her fear and disgust, while also remaining crucial because her purification ability can cleanse corruption that even powerful treasures cannot resist.
• Tianxing Mingyue contributes observations about the prison tower and recognizes that the bull-like creature’s size is abnormal for the first floor.

Significant Themes

• The fragility of ambition: Zeng Xiaofan’s grand dreams of immortality are erased before he can even begin cultivating.
• The overwhelming power of monsters: The Minotaur’s effortless slaughter demonstrates that even powerful cultivators and sects may be helpless before superior strength.
• Rebirth and second chances: Zeng’s new life gives him a chance to pursue a different path, though fate cuts that opportunity short.
• Caution in dangerous environments: Nameless must balance progress against the risk of corruption, showing that power cannot always be used freely.
• Purification versus corruption: Shui’er’s abilities are essential to preserving the Life-Giving Stone and the Record of the Wrongfully Accused, reinforcing the importance of cleansing destructive forces rather than merely overpowering them.
• Humor amid danger: Shui’er’s complaints about the smell and Nameless’s practical responses lighten an otherwise tense and frightening setting.

Character Interactions

• Zeng Xiaofan’s mother reprimands him for staring at the sky instead of eating, revealing their familiar parent-child dynamic.
• Zeng watches the flying cultivators with admiration, contrasting his humble village life with the distant world of cultivation.
• The Minotaur interacts with the cultivators only through violence and contempt, dismissing them as weak.
• Shui’er repeatedly expresses fear and disgust to Nameless, while Nameless responds with calm instructions and practical solutions.
• Nameless, Shui’er, and Tianxing Mingyue cooperate cautiously as they investigate the mysterious bull leg, with Shui’er’s purification powers complementing Nameless’s combat and cutting abilities.
