Chapter Summaries

Lynn and Zuo Zuo shattered the corpse giant, but Lynn discovered that small crimson pieces of flesh held its consciousness and resisted his Firstborn Power. As the scattered points of consciousness converged on the largest fragment, it began beating like a heart, leaving the threat unresolved.

• Lynn and Zuo Zuo dodged the corpse giant’s attacks, then Lynn used spatial blades and his Trident to shatter its skull and body.
• Lynn examined the remains through the Colossus's Transdimensional Link and sensed that the corpse still contained a hazy will.
• The corpse began growing blood-red vines, so Lynn used Firstborn Power to refine its remains.
• Lynn found that tiny crimson flesh fragments resisted refinement and appeared to be the vessels of the corpse’s consciousness.
• The points of light passed through Lynn’s suppression and gathered around the largest flesh fragment, which began beating like a war drum.

Lynn and Zuo Zuo fought a blood-colored phantom that emerged from a piece of Colossus Flesh and recognized Lynn as a fragment of the soul that had killed him. The phantom claimed Lynn had stolen his blood essence, and Lynn concluded it was a new will born from Blood Core’s remaining flesh cells.

• A piece of Colossus Flesh formed a blood-colored phantom that seized a third of the restrained flesh and confronted Lynn and Zuo Zuo.
• The phantom accused Lynn of stealing his blood essence and recognized him as a fragment of the soul that had killed him.
• The phantom attacked, and Lynn and Zuo Zuo countered with the Trident and Night Demon Blade, cutting away some of his blood-red light and flesh.
• The phantom summoned blood-colored vines, while Lynn told Zuo Zuo he believed the figure was a new will born from Blood Core’s remaining flesh cells.
• Lynn called for Zuo Zuo to cover him.

Lynn defeated the Crimson Figure by destroying its fragmented consciousness and sealing its flesh. His discovery that the figure was Blood Core made him suspect the Outsider might be connected to the Colossus Civilization’s origins, while Ether’s resonance led him to search for more clues.

• Lynn used mind laws to destroy the Crimson Figure’s spirit world and sealed the remaining flesh with firstborn power.
• Lynn and Zuo Zuo considered whether Blood Core’s flesh had been used to create the Colossus Civilization, possibly through Raven’s involvement.
• Lynn wondered whether Ether, Blood Core, and the Dreamwalker were connected to the path he called Trinity and to time.
• Zuo Zuo asked whether Blood Core’s consciousness remained in the flesh, and Lynn kept fragments for later study.
• Lynn sensed Ether resonating and led Zuo Zuo to search elsewhere for clues about Ether.

Lynn and Zuo Zuo explored the battlefield and discovered the immense remains of Ether’s ancient mechanical forces. Lynn began collecting the nearly indestructible machines, though he had not yet found what shielded the battlefield from the calamity’s gaze.

• Lynn wondered what power kept the calamity from noticing the battlefield as he and Zuo Zuo explored deeper into the void.
• Lynn and Zuo Zuo encountered signs of the devastating war between the Violet Great Lord and three powerful outsiders.
• Lynn and Zuo Zuo crossed an asteroid belt and found a vast graveyard of shattered mechanical constructs that resonated with the Ether inside Lynn.
• Lynn struck one machine with spatial laws but only managed to leave a thin crack in its metal.
• Lynn began gathering the mechanical remains into his system space and the Strange Otherworld, filling more than half of the latter.

Lynn and Zuo Zuo searched the First Abyss Plane for signs of the Dreamwalker after finding traces of Ether and Blood Core. By switching to psionic perception, Lynn discovered a vast Mind Energy storm and entered a special state, leaving his body motionless as he asked Zuo Zuo to protect it.

• Lynn kept Clown inside the Strange Otherworld and had him sort the loot while he examined the Mechanical Remains.
• Zuo Zuo suggested unsealing Ether to see if he could control the machines, but Lynn rejected the dangerous idea.
• Lynn and Zuo Zuo searched deeper for the Dreamwalker's traces but found no anomalies in the material world.
• Lynn reasoned that the Dreamwalker corresponded to psionics and switched from his Firstborn Power and Laws to psionic perception.
• A massive Mind Energy storm blasted Lynn's soul from his body, and he stabilized himself with psionics.
• Lynn told Zuo Zuo through psionics to protect his motionless body and said he had found the Dreamwalker's traces.

Lynn followed the mind energy currents to a pale blazing sun that drove the energy through the sealed void. After learning that it burned away his powers unless he combined psionics, Colossus blood energy, and Ether, he charged toward it, realizing his path had prepared him for this moment.

• Lynn sensed the mind energy currents and followed them to a pale blazing sun that drove the energy through the sealed void.
• Lynn approached the sun, but its light stripped away his psionics and ignited his firstborn power.
• Lynn called for Zuo Zuo to bring his body, then combined psionics with the Colossus's blood energy and the Ether within him.
• Lynn found that all three powers together eased the sun's pressure and charged toward it at full speed.
• Lynn realized his past choices had prepared him to reach the sun, and he reached out as his body and soul began to peel apart.

Lynn woke in a pale realm after his powers merged and saw memories of the Battle of Heaven. The visions revealed how the violet figure survived the three attackers’ combined trinity and tried to keep the damaged dream world from collapsing.

• Lynn awoke in soul form in a boundless pale realm and discovered that moving caused him intense pain.
• Lynn’s pain brought forth visions of the Battle of Heaven, showing three figures from the Outer Cosmos confronting the violet ruler of the dream.
• The violet figure overwhelmed the three attackers, destroying their forces but holding back from killing them.
• The three grievously wounded figures combined their powers into a devastating trinity that nearly shattered the dream.
• The wounded violet figure sealed the void and used his lingering consciousness to repair the laws and stabilize the dream world.

Lynn learned how the Violet Great Lord’s failed struggle against the Lord of the End led to the Great Fall and the Battle of Heaven. As the memories faded, Lynn prepared to awaken and wondered whether his encounters with the three outsiders had been predetermined.

• The lingering consciousness explained that the Violet Great Lord had returned to slumber to stabilize the dream world and resist becoming the Lord of the End.
• The lingering consciousness recounted how the Violet Great Lord had killed everyone, remade the world, and hoped to resurrect its inhabitants, but the Lord of the End had ruined his plans.
• Lynn realized that the Lord of the End’s emergence and the calamity three thousand years earlier had followed from the Violet Great Lord’s failure to suppress his fusion with the Sleeper.
• Lynn questioned who had recorded the images and suspected that someone observing from outside the River of Time had selected them for him.
• The lingering consciousness told Lynn that he was ready to awaken and was the only one capable of wielding the outsiders’ power, then faded away.
• Lynn identified Ether, Blood Core, and the Dreamwalker as the Trinity and wondered whether his encounters with them had been predestined.

Lynn woke after the pale Blazing Sun burned him to ashes and discovered it had fused blood energy, ether, and psionics into a new power inside him. He healed himself with the power, which reached a balance with his firstborn power, and named the result Trinity.

• Lynn woke on a meteorite fragment as Zuo Luo mourned him and stole coins from his pockets.
• Lynn recovered his coins, subdued Zuo Zuo, and asked what had happened after the Blazing Sun swallowed him.
• Zuo Zuo explained that she had gathered Lynn's ashes and watched him slowly rise from them.
• Lynn sensed a pale Blazing Sun in his chest, where his blood energy, ether, and psionics had fused together.
• Lynn activated the new power, healed his body, and felt his firstborn power calm the void's rejection of it.
• Lynn recognized the balance between the powers and called the fused force Trinity.

Lynn united psionics, blood energy, and ether into the Trinity, then prepared to leave the Sealing Ground while shielding himself from the Lord of the End. He stepped into the void with Zuo Zuo, trusting the Trinity to conceal them.

• Lynn realized the sun's power had helped him fuse psionics, blood energy, and ether, and he saw that his white-haired appearance matched the man in Raven's memories.
• Lynn tested the sun and found it replenished his energy, but his limited capacity prevented him from absorbing more power safely.
• Lynn decided not to move the sun, since doing so might expose the Sealing Ground, and resolved to return.
• Lynn concealed his firstborn power beneath the Trinity's white flames and assured Zuo Zuo that the power might shield them from the Lord of the End.
• Lynn stepped into the void and vanished with Zuo Zuo as they attempted to leave.

Lynn and Zuo Zuo escaped the Calamity’s projection in the Main Universe by using the Trinity’s concealment to slip past it. After reaching safety, Lynn continued toward the Border, where he planned to connect the spatial nodes along his trail once Painter arrived.

• Lynn appeared beside the enormous Calamity projection with Zuo Zuo and tested whether the Trinity’s power could hide them from its perception.
• When the Calamity stirred, Lynn and Zuo Zuo withdrew their perception and retreated without looking at it.
• The Calamity’s countless eyes nearly fixed on Lynn, but a flash of purple made its attention fade and allowed him to escape.
• Lynn fled hundreds of astronomical units to a meteorite, where he and Zuo Zuo caught their breath and joked about bullying the Calamity’s family.
• Lynn confirmed he had been heading toward the Border and had left a trail of spatial nodes for Painter to connect upon reaching the designated location.

Lynn returned to the Main Universe’s border and began studying its defensive web of laws, hoping to learn how to extend its protections against the Polluters. As Lynn worked without rest, Zuo Zuo reflected that he had grown into a serious, capable person and that she still missed his old, carefree self.

• Lynn crossed into the Main Universe’s border region and used the laws to open a route into the Nether Sea, where he planned to summon Hell once it reached the designated position.
• Lynn began examining the border’s web of laws and tried to work out how Dreamwalker had built its defenses so he could reproduce them on a larger scale.
• Lynn continued his deductions for a long time while Zuo Zuo first slept beside him, then watched shows from a meteorite nearby.
• Zuo Zuo watched Lynn’s increasingly focused work and realized she preferred the old, mischievous Blockhead to the solemn person he was becoming.

Lynn prepared to bring Hell’s forces into the Abyss, believing a foothold there would let him hide from the calamity and seize the territory. Aivier reached Dark Night City with his warning, and the city began its largest-ever war mobilization.

• Zuo Zuo noticed the spatial trail flare, and Lynn contacted Aivier as she approached with Hell under her control.
• Lynn assured Aivier he had survived the calamity and told her to warn Dark Night City to prepare for an Abyssal descent.
• Aivier arrived at Dark Night City, subdued the guards who mistook her for Lynn, and summoned Sir Awen.
• Dark Night City issued its highest-level war alert, closed its gates, recalled its Origins, and ordered the Black Fortress to bring back its Dolls.

Sir Awen announced Lynn’s war plan to Dark Night City’s Origins while Lynn opened a Boundary Gate from Hell to the First Abyss Plane. Dark Night City crossed through to face the corrupted army, and Silver Fantasy joined Lynn as the invasion began.

• Silver Fantasy explained that she had rebuilt Dark Night City into a war fortress, then electrocuted Lynn after he called her his wife.

Lynn brought Dark Night City and the Origins who had joined the Pact back to the Main Universe, where they prepared to face the First Abyss Plane’s army. He freed them from the curse’s suppression and urged them to attack.

• Titan Head, Witch God Head, Sir Awen, Brain, and the Origins emerged from Dark Night City after it entered the Abyss.
• Lynn hid the Trinity’s influence over Sir Awen and Brain, then joked about his new white hair and appearance when Brain noticed the change.
• The Captain and Miss Dollhouse discussed returning to their homeland, and Miss Dollhouse revealed that she was close to becoming a Demigod.

• Lynn told everyone to attack the enemy and let loose.

Lynn commanded Dark Night City’s Ancient Gods as they launched a devastating assault on the Demon Army of the First Abyss Plane. The battle turned into a rout, and a Rotten Star’s chaos attack destroyed thousands of demons after the Ancient Gods escaped through the spatial team’s coordination.

• Dark Night City’s legion charged the demons, and spatial-law wielders tore into their ranks while the front line broke through the Demon Army’s defenses.
• The Titan Head rampaged deep into enemy ranks and tore apart several Archdemons, while Sir Ai Wei and the Colossus Brain crushed demons on another front.
• Lynn stayed beneath Dark Night City and directed the teams, warning them about Jailer-level Archdemons and ordering the spatial team to support the elemental team.
• Star Track and her father led the elemental team in casting Forbidden Spells behind the Demon Army as the melee team routed the front line.
• Lynn spotted the Rotten Stars gathering energy and warned the Ancient Gods, who escaped the chaos death ray through the spatial team’s intervention.
• The death ray annihilated thousands of demons, leaving Dark Night City’s Ancient Gods unharmed and impressing Lynn with their coordination.

Lynn’s forces attacked two planets whose Great Rifts threatened Dark Night City, and Silver Fantasy and the Titan Head destroyed their weapons by dismantling and shattering the planets. The battle ended with Lynn scolding the Origins for chatting in his combat channel.

• Lynn realized the spatial team had marked the melee team’s Origins so they could teleport them to safety, then ordered someone to destroy the two planets’ weapons.
• Silver Fantasy charged a planet and unleashed a storm of atomic machinery that dismantled it and collapsed its Great Rifts.
• The Titan Head struck the other planet repeatedly, cracking its surface and destabilizing it with sheer force.
• The Origins joked in the battlefield group chat about Stone Ancestor, who had been reduced to a tiny stone form after challenging the Titan Head.
• Lynn rebuked the Origins for chatting during the war and warned that he had noted down everyone who had spammed the combat channel.

Lynn and the Ancient God Legion conquered the First Abyss Plane and began pursuing the demons across the Abyss to eliminate the Polluters before they could draw the calamity’s attention. He then went to the ruins of the Castle beneath the Red Moon, determined to honor the angels who had guarded it for three thousand years.

• The Ancient God Legion routed the demon armies, advanced into the First Abyss Plane, and brought Dark Night City with them.
• Lynn released the Self-Binding Angel and told her the First Plane had become Dark Night City's territory, then ordered the legion to pursue the Polluters across the Abyss's major planes.
