Chapter Summaries

Logo discussed Ashes’ growing control over the Guta Star People and the likely future planar war before waiting for economic turmoil to strengthen support for his currency reforms. He then returned to the Nirvana Tower and began preparing to advance his alchemy level to Alchemy Master.

• Webster warned Logo that Ashes was attacking the Guta Star People, and Logo concluded that Diorus had taken control of Ashes and perhaps the Guta Federation.
• Webster and Baudelaire predicted an inevitable planar war, while Logo privately judged it would begin after pioneering started.
• The Serpent Ring Family’s leaders departed satisfied, and Webster gave the grand elder a gift to support their supposed connection.
• Two months later, the left minister urged Logo to convene an An Alliance assembly as Guta Federation bond issues and currency printing caused severe economic losses.
• Logo told the left minister to wait until the economic storm had caused greater losses before he stepped forward.
• Logo returned to the Nirvana Tower and prepared to raise his alchemist level to Alchemy Master.

Logo broke through to become an alchemy master, enduring a violent transformation that shook the Nirvana Tower and Holy Knight Star. After discovering his new Hall of Wisdom talent and greatly improved attributes, he turned his attention to upgrading the Nirvana Tower to Five-Star Miracle quality through the Abyss.

• Logo began breaking through from top alchemist to alchemy master after building a broad foundation in every branch of alchemy.
• Logo’s advancement caused immense pain, shattered his energy body, and sent the Nirvana Tower trembling as a huge elemental vortex spread over Holy Knight Star.
• The great elder and the garrison forces prepared for an attack, but no enemies appeared before Logo completed his advancement.
• Logo adjusted to his transformed senses and found that the Eye of Insight had awakened further and his attributes had risen by five ranks.
• Logo gained the Fire of Birth’s fifth subsidiary talent, [Hall of Wisdom], and decided that the Abyss could help him upgrade the Nirvana Tower to Five-Star Miracle quality.

Logo reasoned that the Nirvana Tower’s Freedom trait required chaos, making the Abyss and its World Origin Force essential to its second promotion to Miracle quality. He believed he could withstand the Abyss Will and use its power while relying on the Hall of Wisdom to protect his humanity.

• Logo considered how order and chaos balanced the Astral Realm, with the Abyss serving as its sole source of chaos.
• Logo concluded that the Nirvana Tower’s Freedom trait belonged to chaos and that the Abyss’s World Origin Force could strengthen it toward Miracle quality.

• Logo examined the Hall of Wisdom and valued its ability to store Thoughts of Living Beings and release them to protect his humanity.
• Logo regarded absorbing Abyss Power as a safeguard against losing his humanity, even if it meant falling into the Abyss.

Logo planned to gather Abyss power through both pureblood demon corpses and Abyss resources to advance the Nirvana Tower to Five-Star Miracle quality. Though the undertaking would cost far more than Lancelot’s weapon advancement, Logo had the knowledge, tools, and shallow Abyss coordinates needed to begin safely.

• Logo reviewed four ways to obtain Abyss power and ruled out theft and gifts from the Abyss Will.
• He chose to extract power from pureblood demons and Abyss resources, despite the need for both martial strength and wealth.
• Logo calculated that advancing the Nirvana Tower would cost at least a hundred times more than Lancelot’s Steel Feather Cloak advancement.
• Logo used his alchemy expertise, the Eye of Insight, and shallow Abyss coordinates to prepare to open a controlled Abyss passage.

Logo reviewed his strength and confirmed that he could open a passage to the shallow layers of the Abyss. He examined the changes to his attributes, talents, and skills, concluding that he, Lancelot, and Gustavo would each have to develop along paths suited to their different forms.

• Logo confirmed that his gathered knowledge was sufficient to open an Abyss passage and reviewed his combat strength before facing demons.
• Logo noted that he had reached Tier Seventeen while deliberately keeping his five main physical attributes at the Mid-Rank Demigod limit of 170.
• Logo traced his increased spirit and energy to his alchemical foundation, his physique to the resources and shell of the Nirvana Tower, and his mystery and charm to its rune arrays.
• Logo examined the many new Attribute Talents, including dimensional and elemental talents that strengthened his spatial and elemental affinities.
• Logo found that his Demigod Combat Skills were lower-level than Lancelot's because combat techniques required bodily practice, and he recognized that he, Lancelot, and Gustavo had to follow different paths suited to their forms.

Logo planned to rebuild the Nirvana Legion, raise funds by selling part of the Light-Bathed Sea to the Tia Empire, and send his clones to gather resources. Meanwhile, his bloodline clone and Audora left Shining Star for the Abyss after killing the scavengers who had been watching them.

• Logo decided to build a second-generation Nirvana Legion with Legendary soldiers, Epic squad leaders, and Demigod commanders, but recognized that he needed vast resources and time.

• Logo mobilized his rune and potion clones to raise money and directed his bloodline clone to gather Abyss-type resources and strengthen his bloodline.
• On Shining Star, Logo's bloodline clone used Time Pause and his war scythe to kill scavengers, impressing Audora with his improved ability.
• The bloodline clone invited Audora to the Abyss, and she opened a spatial teleportation array for them to leave Shining Star.
• The pair returned to kill scavengers who emerged after they left, then departed again as other figures prepared to set off for the Abyss.

After selling the Light-Bathed Sea territory to the Tia Empire, Logo used the proceeds and resources gathered by his avatars to produce the second batch of the Nirvana Legion. The chapter ends with more than a thousand upgraded war soldiers assembled, including five new specialist unit types that complete the legion’s tactical force.

• The Gendaya Royal Court sold its Light-Bathed Sea territory to the Tia Empire for 142,840 Star Wheels, drawing confusion from its people and outsiders.
• Logo spent the proceeds on troop-production resources and used the demiplane to conceal their transfer to the Nirvana Tower.
• The potion avatar and rune avatar sent gathered resources to the Elven Plane, while the bloodline avatar waited with Abyss-related resources and demon corpses he could not transport.

• More than a thousand war soldiers gathered in the barracks after the first batch was remade and upgraded.
• The chapter introduced the Mechanical Demonic Spider, Giant War Tree, Leviathan, Sage, and Mother of Deep Blue as control, support, transport, communications, and logistics units.

Logo completed the first Colossus, Ares, Lord of War, and used the Fire of Birth to maintain the God-Hunting Spear. He then turned to his prototype Demon Slaughterhouse, while the Nirvana Legion gained a powerful new commander and Golden Star’s cross-plane trade route continued to provide resources.

• Logo developed five original troop types and established a profitable cross-plane trade route for Golden Star’s resources through the Prado Universe System.
• Logo completed the Colossus Ares, Lord of War, replacing its uncooperative divine will with a new will bound to obey him.

• Logo inspected the prototype demigod artifact called the Demon Slaughterhouse.

Logo planned a costly campaign to turn the Abyss into a source of resources, while the An Alliance’s senior members met to discuss the need for a leader. The gathering ended with Mitar calling for a leader other than the Sunset Lord, unsettling his subordinate A'erk anbeiqi.

• Logo planned to expand the Nirvana Legion, turn the Holy Spirit Bird into a Colossus, and forge a Legend- or Immortal-quality Demon Slaughterhouse to sustain a war against the Abyss.
• Logo calculated that making fifty Rare-quality Demon Slaughterhouses would cost 250,000 Star Wheels and returned to work despite falling short of the funds.
• Mitar Kuroweisi, Yasike Bulaien, and A'erk anbeiqi gathered as representatives of the An Alliance’s major groups to discuss important matters.
• Mitar declared that the An Alliance needed a leader, alarming Yasike and A'erk because the proposed leader was not the current chairman, the Sunset Lord.

Mitar persuaded the An Alliance’s leaders that the Elven Plane needed Logo to guide it through political and economic turmoil. The group issued a joint announcement praising Logo, while Mitar privately confirmed to Alex that he had delivered the speech as instructed.

• Mitar condemned the Saila Empire’s aggression, the Ashes Organization’s interference, and the Guta Federation’s economic coercion across the Elven Plane.
• Mitar argued that Logo’s record and policies made him the only suitable leader for the An Alliance.
• Bulaien, A'erk anbeiqi, and the other attendees agreed that Logo should take charge of the organization.
• The group issued a joint announcement describing the crisis and praising Logo without directly naming him as chairman.
• Mitar contacted Alex, confirmed he had followed the instructions for his speech, and agreed with Alex that Logo would soon become the An Alliance’s common leader.

As the joint announcement fueled calls for Logo to lead the An Alliance, the Sunset Lord confronted him to learn whether he intended to take the chairmanship. Logo reassured her that she would remain the alliance’s leader, then revealed he was creating a secretariat and appointing Balielunduo to run it.

• Calls grew for Logo to become chairman of the An Alliance after influential figures supported the joint announcement.
• The Sunset Lord confronted Logo, accusing him of breaking his promise to let her chair the An Alliance.
• Logo assured the Sunset Lord that he would leave the chairmanship to her and explained that he had known nothing about the joint announcement beforehand.
• The Sunset Lord dropped her feigned distress and complained that Mitar and the others had caught her off guard.
• Logo praised Balielunduo’s work on Ke'erjia Star and said he would transfer him to a newly created secretariat as secretary-general.
• The Sunset Lord realized that Logo intended to establish a powerful new office within the An Alliance.

Logo secured the Sunset Lord’s support with a set of demigod artifacts and discussed currency reform with her. Half a month later, she resigned as chair and recommended him as her successor, and Logo became the An Alliance’s supreme leader after the special election assembly.

• Logo gave the Sunset Lord the Dark Night Walker set of three demigod artifacts, which she accepted.
• The Sunset Lord agreed to Logo’s proposals concerning the An Alliance’s currency reform.
• The Sunset Lord announced that her old injury had worsened, stepped down as chair, and recommended Logo as her successor.
• Three days later, Logo announced that he would participate in the Alliance’s special election assembly.
• After the formalities were completed, Logo became chair of the An Alliance in the Gendaya Royal Court year 1686.

After becoming supreme leader, Logo launched the An Yuan with the Gendaya Royal Court, accelerating the Ta Pound system’s collapse. Enraged, Baisuo Kelaxiweifu ordered military action and killed Economics Minister Xi Gewei for objecting, leaving the Federation’s officials silent.

• Logo won approval from the An Alliance’s senior leadership for currency reform after taking power.
• The An Alliance and the Gendaya Royal Court launched the An Yuan, backed by the Heart of Azure and Vibranium, and opened trade between their territories.
• The An Yuan spread across the Elven Plane as powers reduced their reliance on the Ta Pound and Ta Bonds.
• Baisuo Kelaxiweifu smashed a crystal glass and ordered the Federation fleet to attack the forces undermining the Ta Pound system.
• Economics Minister Xi Gewei pleaded against military action, but Baisuo Kelaxiweifu killed him and silenced the other officials.

Diorus, disguised as Baliewei, stopped Baisuo from starting a premature war and assessed the Guta Federation’s gradual corruption and political strength. He remained wary of Logo and Lancelot, explaining why Earth Guardians were unlikely to unite or intervene without a costly mission.

• Diorus, disguised as Baliewei, slapped Baisuo and used his power to calm him before warning that the Guta Federation was not ready to start a war.
• Diorus told the ministers that the Federation could exploit the weakening Ta Pound system and noted its vast military, technological, and economic power.
• Diorus reflected that his influence was slowly turning the Guta Star People evil and that he needed six or seven more years to complete their transformation.
• Diorus judged that exposing the Federation’s ties to Ashes would not quickly unite other factions against it, since only Logo and Lancelot concerned him.
• Diorus considered Earth Guardians’ distant, transactional nature and concluded that summoning a God Level Guardian across universe systems would require immense Primeval Stone.

Diorus mobilized the Guta Federation and the Saila Empire to draw Lancelot out, while Hefeisi learned that Diorus’s evil aura had appeared on Planet Guta. Hefeisi reflected on Elven’s warnings about the Primordial Evil God and the uncertain future of the Elven Plane.

• Diorus ordered the Guta Federation to deploy its hidden Demigods and the Saila Empire to attack planets held by the Crimson Alliance and Gondaya Royal Court, hoping to force Lancelot into the open.
• A silver-metal messenger reported to Hefeisi that an extremely evil Primordial God’s aura had been detected on Planet Guta.
• Hefeisi recalled that Elven had left him the Heart of Nature mage tower but given much of his remaining estate to the Guta Star People, fueling Hefeisi’s resentment toward them.
• Hefeisi remembered Elven’s instructions to watch for an evil god’s aura and his divinations, which had shown the Elven Plane’s future split between destruction and salvation.

Hefeisi traced the Guta Star People's deal with the Primordial Evil God to their stagnant society and their rulers’ desperate reform efforts, which he believed Elven had helped create by raising them to dominance. He blamed Elven for planting the cause of the disaster that Baliewei’s ambition brought upon his race.

• After Elven fell, Hefeisi secretly placed informants on Planet Guta and agreed to report signs of the evil god’s escape to the Spellcaster Association.
• Hefeisi deduced that the Guta Star People had released the evil god after learning its aura had appeared in the Guta Federation.
• Hefeisi concluded that Elven’s support had elevated the Guta Federation into a long-standing hegemon, bringing peace but also stagnation and entrenched order to the Elven Plane.
• Successive Mudatuos sought to change the Guta Star People's collective character, but conventional reforms failed as the plane protection period neared its end.
• Desperate to force reform, Baliewei and the Ashes Organization tried to control the Primordial Evil God’s power.
• Hefeisi blamed Elven for creating the conditions that led Baliewei to overreach and push the Guta Star People toward destruction.

Hefeisi retrieved Elven’s Spear of Destiny and reflected on the three preparations Elven had made to save the Elven Plane from the Primordial Evil God. The story left with Hefeisi holding the final trump card, which could bring outside forces into the plane if the other deterrents failed.

• Hefeisi summoned the Spear of Destiny, a seven-star God Level scroll Elven had created to wound a True God, and hoped his teacher’s arrangements would work.
• Elven had left Fate Defier Sid to activate the Spear of Destiny and use his divination skills to conceal the Children of Destiny from the evil god.
• Elven had entrusted the Guta Star People with legacies and trump cards to guard the plane, but their leaders’ choices had caused that arrangement to fail.
• Elven had instructed Hefeisi to alert the Spellcaster Association and publicize the evil god’s presence to deter him and draw outside God Level experts’ attention.
• As a last resort, Hefeisi was to show Elven’s will to the association and request an early end to the Civilization Protection Period, exposing the plane to outside powers so they could drive the weakened evil god away.

As the Saila Empire attacked the Crimson Alliance and the Gendaya Royal Court under the Primordial Evil God's influence, Lancelot began a long-prepared breakthrough from Peak Epic to Demigod. He emerged from a golden egg amid the destruction of the barren planet, having apparently completed his transformation.

• Hefeisi sent a power clone carrying the Spear of Destiny toward the Elven Plane and reported the Primordial Evil God's presence to the Spellcaster Association's upper echelon.
• The Saila Empire launched an invasion with twenty-three fleets and more than 170 Demigods, targeting the Crimson Alliance first and the Gendaya Royal Court second.
• Lancelot recognized that the Primordial Evil God had targeted him and Logo, and decided to inform the Military Control Committee after strengthening himself.
• After months of preparation, Lancelot used the World Furnace and his origin golden flame to advance from Peak Epic to Demigod.
• Golden light and feathers formed a giant egg around Lancelot; it eventually cracked open as his cry pierced the barren planet and the world around it broke apart.

Lancelot advanced to Peak Demigod, gained the SSS-rank Undying Holy Spirit skill, and began upgrading his Steel Feather Cloak. Meanwhile, the Saila Empire and Crimson Alliance gathered their fleets at Planet Amethyst, where the decisive Amethyst Battle began.

• Lancelot reached Mid-Rank Demigod and awakened four powerful talents from the Holy Spirit Bird bloodline.
• Lancelot used primeval stones to create the SSS-rank Undying Holy Spirit skill, raising his maximum combat power to Peak Demigod.

• The Saila Empire advanced to Planet Amethyst, the Crimson Alliance’s last medium-magic planet, while both sides assembled nearly all their space fleets.
• The Amethyst Battle began as the Saila Empire and Crimson Alliance prepared to clash.

The Crimson Alliance’s outnumbered forces struggled to defend Planet Amethyst as Eusius neared his limit and prepared to abandon the fleet. A gigantic golden bird emerged from a spatial vortex above the battlefield, drawing every Demigod’s attention.

• Moon Breaker Maxwell fought off three High-Rank Demigods while smashing through Saila Empire warships.
• Mechanical Bishop Belotti boosted his mechanical troops and destroyed thousands of enemy ships, prompting the Saila commander to send more forces against him.
• Star Vein Eusius used the Star Gathering Technique to unite the Crimson Alliance’s Demigods, but his power and body began to fail.
