Zhou Heng and Emperor Sarendo Sakas activated Eternity Wind God · Starwind and linked it to the Abyss, as Sarendo began a dangerous hundred-second operation in Soaring Rooftop Palace.

Zhou Heng accepted the risk of taking power from all four truths held by the corrupted Lord of Time and Space, despite Fate Hint warning him of the danger. As the nightmare skill pulled him into dreamland, the Lord briefly regained its consciousness and used its last power to set Zhou Heng on the Endless Dream-Slaying Path.

• The Lord of Time and Space altered Zhou Heng’s skill, changing Who Awakens First from the Nightmare into Who Wakes First from the Great Dream.

• Most Sakas Empire NPCs joined the Return Faction while a smaller group chose the Descent Faction, as Zhou Heng continued severing dreams and increasing his willpower.

• A Female Emperor-like woman appeared in the Tenth Chapter, summoned a White Flame, and ordered lower-level players to retreat while the others held the chapter until Zhou Heng returned.

• Zhou Heng returned to the Sakast Region, where information about the Skysea of the Empty Realm and the Large-Scale Event, Kingdom of All Beings, flooded his retinas.

Zhou Heng chose the Return Faction and found the Tenth Chapter filled with corpses, then seized the Spark of Civilization, which needed the lives of a hundred billion compatriots to reach full power.
