After reuniting with his friends, Lynn explained that Dreamweaver feared losing control of him because he was crucial to her plans.

• Lynn took the bound Dreamweaver to Winter Spring Valley and threatened her while pressing her to explain the child and the vessel.
• Dreamweaver warned that Lynn was still thinking like a mortal, but Lynn insisted he had always been mortal and demanded an answer.

Dreamweaver explained that the Lord of the End could only be suppressed, not destroyed, and proposed using the girl as a vessel after the final battle. Lynn realized that his future self had ordered Dreamweaver to create her, possibly because Lynn himself was destined to become the vessel.

• Dreamweaver told Lynn that the Lord of the End had devoured her ancient world and was trapped in a repeating dream by an ancestor who sacrificed himself as a vessel.
• Dreamweaver proposed sealing the Lord of the End again after the final battle and said the girl, whose blood came from the Great Lord, was the ideal vessel.

• Lynn understood that his future self might have intended for him to become the vessel and for the girl to return him to it.

Lynn confirmed that Shanaier was created as his replacement and intended sacrifice, but kept the truth from her. Seeking strength and control over the Trinity, he asked Dreamweaver to train him and learned that the power was called Guardian Power and that the three families had fallen into bitter conflict.

• Lynn examined Shanaier and found the bloodline aura of the Great Lord and the familiar essences of Flesh, machinery, and Psionics within her.
• Lynn watched Shanaier sleep and decided not to tell her that she was a replacement vessel destined for sacrifice.
• The next day, Lynn brought the bound Dreamweaver to a mountain and asked her to help him grow stronger and control the Trinity.
• Dreamweaver explained that the Trinity's true source was the essence of its three families, whose power was known as Guardian Power.
• Dreamweaver said the three families' ancestors had fought together, but wars and generations of conflict had left their descendants divided and hostile.

• Dreamweaver challenged Lynn to fight with no powers and ordinary human strength, and Lynn accepted.
• Dreamweaver dislocated Lynn's arm, threw him to the ground, and pinned him before asking whether he recognized her technique.

Dreamweaver demonstrated the Trinity’s increasingly powerful forms and began teaching Lynn a combat technique. She ended by revealing Star Stillness, a punch that seemed to halt the laws around them.

• Dreamweaver explained that skills and moves let fighters control their power and overcome stronger opponents, then offered to teach Lynn the Trinity.

• Dreamweaver demonstrated Star Stillness, a punch that dimmed the sky and seemed to stop the surrounding laws.

Dreamweaver demonstrated how to channel the Trinity’s power into a devastating punch, then began training Lynn in the technique. Lynn transformed his Strange Otherworld into a time-dilated training ground and endured relentless combat as Dreamweaver taught him [White Ash] and [Star Stillness].

• Dreamweaver unleashed a punch that devastated the plateau, showing Lynn how much stronger the Trinity’s power could be when channeled through a technique.

In Winter Spring Valley, Aivier suspected that someone was deliberately making Shanaier forget magic, leaving the girl bewildered about who was behind it and why.

• Lynn concluded that Aivier’s psionics could rival his Trinity and Firstborn Power, and placed her among the world’s strongest beings.

• Lynn spent half a month in the Violet World, training for fifteen hundred days in the Strange Otherworld.
• The Mother Tree and Aivier scolded Shanaier after she forgot the Blizzard spell she had learned the previous day.
• Aivier asked whether Shanaier forgot other subjects, and Shanaier said she learned everything else quickly but could never retain magic.
• Aivier suggested that someone was deliberately making Shanaier forget supernatural powers, leaving Shanaier confused.

Lynn, Aivier, Dreamweaver, and the others investigated an attack from space and discovered a Polluter flagship carrying seven deities. Lynn recognized them from the army Dreamweaver had supposedly lured away, but Dreamweaver also appeared bewildered as the flagship confronted them.

• Dreamweaver and Lynn emerged beyond the Violet World's atmosphere after a strike nearly destroyed the planet, and Lynn said it was not the calamity's gaze.
• Lynn warned Dreamweaver that he knew she had created the girl as a copy of him and did not want Aivier to learn the truth yet.
• Aivier, the Mother Tree, and the others joined Lynn and Dreamweaver as a huge opening tore through space and a Polluter flagship emerged.
• The Polluters identified Dreamweaver, Raven, and the Princess as their targets, while seven deities revealed their auras from the flagship.
• Lynn recognized the deities from Dreamweaver's earlier vision and questioned why the Polluters had come here after she had supposedly led them elsewhere.

Dreamweaver confronted seven Polluters who had tracked her to the Violet World and used her psionic power to protect the planet before attacking them. She shattered the reality around their warship with ease, but Lynn suspected the battle had not gone as simply as it seemed.

• A voice from the Polluters' warship revealed that they had searched for Dreamweaver for two thousand years and had deciphered her psionic signature.
• Lynn urged Dreamweaver to move the Violet World so the battle would not destroy the planet or its inhabitants.
• Dreamweaver compressed the Violet World into a marble and tossed it to Lynn.
• Dreamweaver vanished and shattered the reality surrounding the Polluters' warship, then appeared among its fragments.
• Lynn stayed wary, reasoning that the Polluters would not have come merely to die so easily.

• Lynn sensed a familiar threat and hurled his Trident at a golden hand that emerged from a reality fragment and seized Dreamweaver by the throat.
• The Trident loosened the hand’s grip, allowing Dreamweaver to escape to Lynn, but golden corruption began spreading across her neck.
• Aivier recognized the attacker as the Truth God King, whose presence had once driven her father into hiding.
• The Truth God King tore open the rift behind the damaged warship and called out to Lynn, though Lynn realized the God King meant the Great Lord who had killed him in the Old World.
• Lynn pulled Colossus and the others into his inner space, took Aivier and Dreamweaver with him, and fled through space at full power.

Lynn, Aivier, and Dreamweaver were trapped under the Truth God King’s control, and Dreamweaver sacrificed herself to buy them a brief chance to act. Lynn realized they might banish the God King by finding the medium anchoring his presence, and he and Aivier prepared to fight.

• Lynn and Aivier found themselves returned to the same place after trying to escape, and Dreamweaver told them they could not leave the Truth God King’s control by force.
• The Truth God King’s golden hand attacked, crushing Lynn and Aivier with overwhelming pressure as Dreamweaver remained standing.
• Dreamweaver shifted herself and the Truth God King into another reality with her psionics, buying Lynn and Aivier time.
• Lynn reasoned that the God King had not fully descended and that finding the medium sustaining him could send him away.
• Aivier joined Lynn in preparing to fight, and they declared, “We slay gods!”

Lynn and Aivier charged the damaged warship to stop its crew from breaking Dreamweaver’s reality barrier and bringing back their God King. Aivier was trapped in battle with three former deities who had embraced chaos, while the warship’s forces continued their attempt to breach the barrier.

• The warship’s leader sent one of its figures to find and break Dreamweaver’s reality barrier while the others moved to intercept Lynn and Aivier.

• The God of the Void said they had embraced chaos to escape their shackles and brought down a massive strike on Aivier.

Lynn fought the God of the Mind, the God of Strength, and a chaos-born Nightmare while still weakened from his long cultivation. He shattered the God of the Mind’s illusion and drove the God of Strength back with his Firstborn Power.

• The God of the Mind urged the other deities to kill Lynn before he could grow stronger and interfere with Father God’s awakening.
