Eliduo was captured amid a battle between the Thousand-Eyed Race and the Water Mirror Race on Planet Illinois, where their fighting devastated the city and forced the Commercial Alliance to contain the conflict. As Alcard moved to seize Eliduo, Gustavo intervened under a disguise and reached for him with Time Pause.

• Nervado sealed Eliduo with the Water Mirror Race’s Phase Mirror Image ability, while Octavian revealed his mechanical form and unleashed a devastating attack that destroyed buildings and inhabitants across a hundred li.

Malakai sent Octavian’s team toward the Destruction Realm Abyss to recover the other half of the Divine Path Configuration before the Floating Light Civilization could claim it. Two months later, Logo used the Water Mirror True God’s corpse and resources from the Alpha Civilization to upgrade the Nirvana Tower into a divine artifact, stunning everyone in the Golden Divine Kingdom.

• Malakai learned that Octavian’s team had captured Eliduo and ordered them to avoid returning home, head to Planet Illinois, and seek the other half of the Divine Path Configuration in the Destruction Realm Abyss.
• Malakai explained that he wanted the Thousand-Eyed Race to keep the configuration from the Void Insect Clan so it could pursue an independent path to Main God power.
• The Water Mirror leader reported the configuration to the Floating Light Civilization, which sent an Upper God to join Nervado’s group at Planet Illinois and hunt the Thousand-Eyed True Gods.
• A month after Gustavo’s delivery arrived, Logo used the Water Mirror True God’s corpse and resources from the Alpha Civilization to upgrade the Nirvana Tower to divine artifact level.
• The enormous phantom of the Nirvana Tower appeared outside Golden Star, and its display of spatial power astonished the Golden Divine Kingdom’s inhabitants and outsiders.

After the Nirvana Tower ascended to divine artifact status, Logo used it to produce seven new alchemical troop types and revealed his Initial Spark talent, which let selected units evolve autonomously. He implanted an Initial Spark in Ares, Lord of War, and urged him to become a true god of war.

• Visitors outside Golden Star recognized the Nirvana Tower as a divine artifact and speculated that Logo was an alchemy grandmaster.
• Logo expanded the Golden Empire’s population and military manpower through alchemical life factories, dismissing objections because the empire had not joined the Civilization Council.

• Logo demonstrated Initial Spark, a talent that let chosen alchemical units adapt, evolve, and improve themselves through combat.
• Logo summoned Ares, Lord of War, and implanted an Initial Spark in him, telling him to become a true god of war.

Logo empowered Ares into a True God-level combatant, then agreed to attack a Void fleet targeting the Golden Divine Kingdom in exchange for substantial resources. Three days later, Lancelot and Ares joined two Lower Gods at a rendezvous, preparing for the operation.

• Logo used the Initial Spark to elevate Ares to the Lower God level and tested his combat power, confirming he could fight at the Tier One True God level.
• Logo put Ares in command of the Nirvana Legion and its troop production and barracks floors.
• Envoy Sulman told Logo that a disguised Void fleet from the Crimson Moon Universe Cluster was targeting the Golden Divine Kingdom's supply routes, and Logo agreed to act for additional payment.
• Logo deduced that the Alpha Civilization was secretly backing the operation and negotiated a resource list that the civilization later accepted.
• Three days later, Lancelot and Ares arrived at a rendezvous and boarded a concealed spaceship, where they met two Lower Gods with Tier Two True God combat power.

Lancelot joined Leanna, Bel'Veth, and Ares to ambush an Eight Gods' Realm fleet, expecting an overwhelming victory for the Alpha Civilization. As the operation began, a metallic mantis-like attacker infiltrated Commander Lainbart's warship and slaughtered everyone in the command room.

• Leanna introduced herself and Bel'Veth to Lancelot, who introduced Ares as the Golden King's subordinate and said he would join the operation.
• Leanna and Bel'Veth explained that the enemy fleet was heading toward the twelfth universe sector, and Ares proposed immobilizing its ships before attacking.
• Lancelot learned that the enemy's overseeing True God was likely a Tier Two Lower God and agreed to begin the ambush.
• Commander Lainbart's stealth fleet traveled through the seventh universe sector until the warship AI detected a rapidly approaching high-energy signature.
• A brilliant attack breached the warship's defenses, and a metallic mantis-like figure burst into the command room and killed Lainbart and the others.

Lancelot, Leanna, Bel'Veth, and Ares ambushed an Eight Gods' Realm fleet, but the apparent rout concealed a trap involving two Middle Gods. Lancelot recognized the danger and tried to rescue the wounded Leanna and Bel'Veth, but entered Kanerxi and Darian's combined water-and-lightning domain, where the enemy prepared to strike.

• Leanna urged the surrounded fleet's True God to surrender, while Lancelot noticed that the fleet's sudden rout seemed suspicious.
• Lancelot's fate-sensing snake warned him, but Darian's lightning struck Leanna and Bel'Veth and badly wounded them.
• Kanerxi revealed a vast waters domain that slowed and ensnared the four True Gods, while Lancelot identified him and Darian as Middle Gods from the Eight Gods' Realm.
• Lancelot turned the waters around himself to earth and rushed behind Leanna and Bel'Veth, who were trapped in a sphere of water and lightning.
• Kanerxi mocked Lancelot for entering the trap, and Darian threatened the Golden Divine Kingdom as he unleashed a sea of lightning within the waters domain.

Lancelot used the Steel Feather Cloak to amplify the Nirvana Tower’s Freedom trait and escape the Waters Divine Realm with Leanna, Bel'Veth, and Ares. Kanerxi and Darian failed to stop the tower, which vanished from their sight.

• Leanna and Bel'Veth prepared to burn their divine souls to create an escape route after Darian's attack left them badly injured.
• Lancelot stopped them from burning their souls and revealed the Nirvana Tower, then entered it as Kanerxi mocked its power.
• The Steel Feather Cloak amplified the Nirvana Tower's Freedom trait, allowing it to expand and take Leanna, Bel'Veth, and Ares inside.
• Kanerxi and Darian attacked the tower, but their powers passed through it as it slipped free of the Waters Divine Realm.
• The Nirvana Tower escaped and vanished, leaving Kanerxi and Darian unable to stop it.

Lancelot escaped the Eight Gods' Realm with Leanna and Bel'Veth, while the Golden Divine Kingdom prepared to upgrade the Genesis Ovary with support from the Alpha Civilization. The chapter ended with Logo using the Nirvana Tower to begin the upgrade.

• Lancelot brought Leanna and Bel'Veth safely out of the Eight Gods' Realm, and both True Gods promised to repay their debt before returning to the Alpha Civilization.
• Lancelot returned to the Golden Divine Kingdom and left the Steel Feather Cloak with the Nirvana Tower to boost its production of alchemical warriors.
• Logo told Lancelot that the Genesis Ovary was nearly ready for an upgrade and discussed a surprise operation against the Eight Gods' Realm.
• The Alpha Civilization sent a formal letter of thanks and increased support resources to the Golden Divine Kingdom, and its envoy agreed to provide the remaining upgrade materials.
• Logo halted mass troop production, mobilized the Nirvana Tower with the Steel Feather Cloak, and began upgrading the Genesis Ovary.

Logo upgraded the Genesis Ovary and helped Lancelot use it to refine his Undying Holy Souls as he advanced to True God. Lancelot emerged with Middle God-level combat strength and proposed that he and Logo begin creating a new supernatural system.

• Logo transformed the Genesis Ovary into a Legend-quality Lower God artifact and gave it to Lancelot to support his advancement.
• Lancelot entered the Nirvana Tower's advancement device with the Steel Feather Cloak and used Genesis Essence to strengthen the spirituality of his Undying Holy Souls.

• Logo examined Lancelot and found that his combat strength had surpassed Gustavo's, reaching Middle God level and potentially True God Tier Six with the Steel Feather Cloak.
• Lancelot explained that he still needed more karmic fortune to advance Earth Guardian to Plane Warden, then told Logo he was ready to help create a new supernatural system.

Lancelot launched the Endless Pantheon by awakening transcendent powers in newly created Golden Empire citizens and establishing the Endless Divine Hall. After several months of rapid expansion, a huge fissure opened beyond Planet Illinois near the Destruction Realm Abyss.

• Lancelot brought newly created artificial humans to the Nirvana Tower and used statues to awaken transcendent genes in all of them.
• Hake Weilinsen transformed into a Hawkfolk and accidentally launched energy blades, which Lancelot stopped before they could hurt anyone.

Gustavo entered the newly opened Destruction Realm Abyss to search for the plane warehouse while avoiding the conflict over the Divine Path Configuration. As the Water Mirror Race and Floating Light Civilization also entered, the Void Insect Clan prepared to use the Abyss as a resource site under new agreements with the Ancestral Tree of Destruction and the Floating Light Civilization.

• Gustavo used the Eye of Omniscience to see the Ancestral Tree of Destruction’s roots surrounding the Abyss, sensed the Thousand-Eyed Race’s plans, and entered to search for the plane warehouse.
• Nervado told Daciu that the Water Mirror Race’s positioning device remained sealed, and Daciu led the Water Mirror Race into the Abyss.
• Daciu and the Water Mirror Race entered the fissure as other forces departed Planet Illinois for the Abyss.
• The Void Insect Clan’s empresses agreed to make the Destruction Realm Abyss a resource site and help the Ancestral Tree of Destruction seize the Death Note, while the Floating Light Civilization sought the Holy Light Heart Core.
• Vera Dolesia asked the empresses to let her establish a logistics center and cultivate new meat insects in the Abyss, so they removed her from the chat before the swarm entered.

Gustavo found the Aslant Civilization’s planar warehouse after fighting his way through a continent inhabited by the Void Insect Clan. Inside, he discovered vast stores of resources and an unexpected component of the Illusory and Real Prism.

• Gustavo entered a rift in the space-time storm and landed on a continent where his laws were suppressed and enormous insectoid creatures attacked him.
• Gustavo recognized the creatures as likely members of the Void Insect Clan, transformed into his Dragon-Hunting Spider form, and fought them with his mechanical soldiers.
• Gustavo escaped the swarm by leaving an illusion behind, reached a hidden area, and used an Aslant Civilization method to enter the planar warehouse.
• Vera arrived at the continent, recognized Gustavo from the Fate Supremacy War, and began reshaping the region with her worker insects.
• Gustavo explored the warehouse’s enormous stockpiles of resources and reached its intelligent control center.
• Gustavo found a diamond-shaped mirror on an altar and recognized it as a component of the Illusory and Real Prism.

Gustavo discovered an Illusory and Real Prism component and seized resources from an Aslant Civilization planar warehouse, then encountered Queen Vera after leaving it. He revealed the warehouse’s origin and offered to sell the entire facility to her.

• Gustavo recognized the altar’s crystal as a component of the Illusory and Real Prism and used the control center to study the planar warehouse.
• Gustavo decided to take resources first rather than risk moving the warehouse, then swallowed tens of thousands of resource planets into his internal space.
• Gustavo emerged from a teleportation gate into Queen Vera’s isolated chamber, where his Gate of Myriad Worlds Offshoot failed to work.
• Gustavo realized the Illusory and Real Prism had concealed the warehouse from Vera and explained that the Aslant Civilization had left it behind.
• Queen Vera agreed not to interfere with Gustavo’s discovery, and Gustavo offered to sell her the entire planar warehouse.

Gustavo sold the plane warehouse to Empress Vera for up to a hundred billion Star Wheels, paid in resources, while concealing the Illusory and Real Prism that kept it safe in the Destruction Realm Abyss. Vera gave him the rare materials he requested and an empress’s feather to protect him from the insect clan’s forces as he returned to the dangerous abyss.

• Vera inspected Gustavo’s plane warehouse and estimated that it was worth at least a hundred billion Star Wheels because of its resources and stability.
• Gustavo concealed that the Illusory and Real Prism, rather than the warehouse’s structure, had kept it safe from the abyss’s storms.
• Vera offered Gustavo an advance of up to a hundred billion Star Wheels in exchange for ownership, and agreed to pay in resources at market price.
• Gustavo requested rare materials for upgrading the Nirvana Tower, the Scale of Exchange, and the Genesis Ovary, and Vera supplied them from her private warehouse.
• Vera gave Gustavo a feather containing an empress’s will to keep the other empresses’ insect forces from attacking him, and he left the mother nest.

Gustavo used Vera’s feather pass to travel through Void Insect Clan territory and reach a ruin connected to the Thousand-Eyed Race. After entering a trial, he used a Thousand Faces avatar to manipulate Theseus into leading the other three True Gods into a trap, where a Soul-Burning Fire phoenix attacked them.

• Gustavo showed Vera’s feather pass to hostile Void Insect Clan forces, who recognized the queen’s authority and let him pass.
• Following his karmic sensing, Gustavo reached a ruin and entered a Void portal leading to a palace with four projections.
• Gustavo identified the gilded furnace projection as a trial and sent a Thousand Faces avatar inside to observe the Thousand-Eyed Race group.
• Gustavo used karma to control Theseus the Strange Light Bearer and make him claim he knew how to cross the Flame Stairway safely.
• Theseus led Octavian and the two other Lower Gods up the stairs, and a Soul-Burning Fire phoenix attacked them at the final step as Gustavo watched.

Gustavo defeated the Thousand-Eyed Race gods in the Soul-Burning Furnace, cleared the remaining elemental trials, and claimed the Divine Path Configuration, “Four Symbols Calamity.” As he fled the ruins, Daciu intercepted him, mistook him for a disguised Thousand-Eyed Race god, and demanded the configuration, so Gustavo ran.

• Gustavo used the Soul-Burning Fire to kill Octavian the World Scorcher and the two other True Gods of the Thousand-Eyed Race, then continued through the ruins’ trials.
• Gustavo passed the Eternal Calamity Tide and Earth Vein Altar trials, using Logo’s help as needed, and cleared the trials of all four projection worlds.
• The four projections combined with the tablet half formed from Eliduo’s soul to create the Divine Path Configuration, “Four Symbols Calamity,” which Gustavo claimed along with four runes.
• Gustavo stripped the ruins and fled the Destruction Realm Abyss, hoping to avoid detection by the Ancestral Tree of Destruction and the insect clan queen.
• Daciu pursued Gustavo with three Water Mirror Race gods, confronted him in the Void, mistook him for a disguised Thousand-Eyed Race god, and demanded the configuration; Gustavo turned and ran.

Gustavo tested the elemental runes he had gained against Daciu, using earth and water magic to trap Daciu’s blazing sun attack before escaping on wind-element wings. Daciu recognized the runes might come from an elemental Main God’s Divine Path Configuration and pursued Gustavo, desperate to claim it.

• Daciu attacked the fleeing Gustavo with the God Level spell Blazing Sun War God.
• Gustavo used the earth-element rune to raise a massive wall, but Daciu’s attack broke through it.
• Gustavo combined the earth- and water-element runes to trap Daciu’s sun attack in a Swamp Black Hole.
• Gustavo unfurled wind-element wings and fled while Daciu realized the runes could belong to an elemental Main God’s Divine Path Configuration.
• Daciu destroyed the Swamp Black Hole with Storm Lord and pursued Gustavo.

Gustavo fled through the spatial rift while Daciu pursued him and unleashed a twenty-sixth-circle spell. After realizing the danger and questioning his growing arrogance, Gustavo used the Illusory and Real Prism to survive the attack, leaving Daciu stunned.

• Gustavo assessed Daciu's superior strength and led him toward insect clan strongholds while his divine power dwindled.
• Daciu recognized Gustavo's plan, gathered power for the Realm-Shattering Spear, and attacked with the killing blow.
• Gustavo reflected on how his victories and lack of mental tempering had fueled his arrogance, then chose to rely on the Illusory and Real Prism.
• Gustavo hid inside a Swamp Black Hole as Daciu drove the Realm-Shattering Spear into it and triggered a devastating explosion.
• The blast cleared to reveal Gustavo, carried by a silver meteor, standing unharmed in the distance.

Gustavo escaped Daciu by turning the Void Insect Clan against him, then reached safety outside the Destruction Realm Abyss. He prepared to test the Illusory and Real Prism’s powers on the sleeping Theseus the Strange Light Bearer.

• Gustavo used Vera’s feather pass to enlist the Void Insect Clan, whose warriors surrounded Daciu and disrupted his attempt to escape.
• Gustavo reasoned that Daciu would be delayed because he could not attack the insect army without risking a larger conflict.
• A few days later, Gustavo left the Destruction Realm Abyss, concealed his aura, and entered the innermost world of the Four Element Runes.
• Gustavo drew the flames into the furnace world’s core and pulled out the sleeping Theseus the Strange Light Bearer.
• Gustavo examined the Illusory and Real Prism, learning that his component could make fantasy real and had the secondary trait Concept Parasitism: Existence Tampering.

Gustavo transformed the Illusory and Real Prism into the Eye of Imaginary Numbers and used it to alter Theseus the Strange Light Bearer's memories, hiding his role in the Thousand-Eyed Civilization's losses. He returned to the Golden Divine Kingdom with his haul, still wondering how the prism was connected to Logo's Eye of Insight.

• Gustavo poured Divine Power into the Illusory and Real Prism until it transformed into the Eye of Imaginary Numbers.
• Gustavo used the Eye of Imaginary Numbers to alter Theseus the Strange Light Bearer's memories and conceal his control over him.
• Theseus woke believing an Upper God from the Floating Light Civilization had killed Octavian and the others, then reported his account to Malakai, Calamity of the Silver Moon.
• Malakai questioned Theseus's survival and told him to return while he followed up with the Floating Light Civilization and the Water Mirror Civilization.
• Gustavo watched Theseus leave, then returned to the Golden Divine Kingdom and questioned the relationship between the Illusory and Real Prism and Logo's Eye of Insight.

Theseus the Strange Light Bearer was forced to let Baguta search his memories, confirming that the Floating Light Civilization and Daciu had been involved in the conflict. Baguta left to report to the insect queen, while the Thousand-Eyed Race’s humiliation deepened and the Floating Light Civilization’s elders began to suspect Daciu.

• Malakai brought Theseus to meet Baguta, the Void Insect Clan’s envoy, who used his psionic power to search Theseus’s memories despite Malakai’s objections.
• Baguta confirmed that the Floating Light Civilization was behind the incident and identified Daciu as the Upper God who intervened, but he still questioned whether the memories could have been altered.
• Baguta departed to report to the insect queen, promising that the insect clan would handle pressure from the Floating Light Civilization.
• Malakai unleashed his fury after Baguta left, while Theseus resented him for submitting to the insect clan and turning his power against his own people.
• The Floating Light Civilization’s elders learned that the insect clan had delayed delivering the Holy Light Heart Core until they returned the Divine Path Configuration and Main God’s ruins.
• After realizing Daciu’s account might be false, the Floating Light leader ordered him summoned.

Logo and Gustavo discovered that the Illusory and Real Prism merged with the Eye of Insight and unlocked memories of their past lives, including the Wizard Civilization and the Eye of Truth. The revelations suggested that Logo, Gustavo, and Lancelot had been born as spiritual incarnations of the Eye of Truth rather than gaining their unusual souls through travel across spacetime.

• Baguta persuaded the Insect Clan queen to pressure the Floating Light Civilization over the Holy Light Heart Core and blame Daciu for taking part in the hunt for the Thousand-Eyed Race.
• Daciu decided to capture Theseus the Strange Light Bearer and ordered the Realm of Void to watch him, while Weiloni arranged to monitor Daciu for Logo.
• Logo and Audora spent time together in the courtyard until Weiloni appeared and told Logo that Daciu had taken the bait.
• Gustavo returned to the Golden Divine Kingdom with the Illusory and Real Prism, and Logo brought it into contact with the Eye of Insight.
• The prism merged with the Eye of Insight, giving Logo visions and memories of the Eye of Truth, the Wizard Civilization, and the Fantasy Origin.
• Logo shared the memories with Gustavo and Lancelot, and Gustavo concluded that their unusual souls came from being born as spiritual incarnations of the Eye of Truth.
