• Gustavo arrived at Planet Illinois after more than a month of travel and entered the planet's crowded technological city.

Gustavo arrived on Planet Illinois, a prosperous, heavily fortified hub outside the Destruction Realm Abyss, and used Ktanus’s ability to gather information about the planet. He learned that the Thousand-Eyed Civilization and the Water Mirror Civilization were hunting a Lower God, and planned to use the coming opening of the Abyss to take revenge on the Thousand-Eyed Civilization for destroying Blue Star.

• Gustavo planned to get involved before the Destruction Realm Abyss opened in about two months and make the Thousand-Eyed Civilization pay for destroying Blue Star.

Gustavo used the Eye of Omniscience to locate a hidden True God on Planet Illinois, then manipulated her Fortune to delay her departure while he waited for the Thousand-Eyed Civilization’s True Gods to arrive. He left the Water Mirror Civilization’s True Gods still on their way and continued pulling strings from behind the scenes.

• Gustavo created a seven-star Eye of Omniscience rune array and searched Planet Illinois for the hidden Lower God.
• Gustavo identified an orange-skinned female True God but waited, hoping to use her as a stepping stone to influence the Thousand-Eyed Civilization.

• Gustavo connected threads of cause and effect to the orange person and used Fortune Seizure and Controller to drain her Fortune and replace it with misleading Fortune.
• Gustavo influenced the orange person to stay on Planet Illinois longer, buying time for the Water Mirror Civilization’s True Gods to arrive.

Gustavo used the Scale of Exchange and his control of karma to manipulate Eliduo and the rival civilizations searching for her. After selling her location to both the Thousand-Eyed Race and the Water Mirror Race, he watched as they converged on her in the street.

• Octavian the World Scorcher sent Theseus the Strange Light Bearer and other Thousand-Eyed Race members to hire local intelligence organizations to find Eliduo.
• Gustavo secretly used the Scale of Exchange to impersonate an intelligence broker, take control of the elderly dwarf, and learn what the Thousand-Eyed Race sought.

• Gustavo laundered the money and watched from a tower as the Thousand-Eyed Race and Water Mirror Race approached Eliduo from opposite sides of the street.

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.
• Nervado and Octavian fought as Planet Illinois executives debated how to contain the damage, since the planet’s guardian refused to intervene directly.

• Nervado gained the upper hand against Octavian, while the Water Mirror Race began defeating the Thousand-Eyed True Gods.
• Alcard charged through Theseus’s attacks and reached the immobilized Eliduo, intending to take her away.
• Gustavo used Time Pause to stop Alcard and the surrounding dimensional currents, then reached out with a clawed hand and claimed the prey as his.

Gustavo interrupted the battle between the Thousand-Eyed Race and the Water Mirror Race, demanded three lower divine artifacts for Orange Person Elido, and gave her to the Thousand-Eyed Race after the Water Mirror Race paid. The Water Mirror Race attacked him, while Gustavo secretly bound the Thousand-Eyed Race’s true gods with causality and gained influence over Theseus the Strange Light Bearer.

• Gustavo seized Orange Person Elido and offered to ransom her for three lower divine artifacts.
• Octavian the World Scorcher urged the Thousand-Eyed Race to contribute artifacts, but its lower gods resisted.

• Gustavo teleported Elido into Theseus the Strange Light Bearer’s grasp, prompting the Water Mirror Race to attack him.
• Octavian accepted Elido and assumed Gustavo was aiding the Thousand-Eyed Race, while Gustavo secretly tied the race’s true gods to causality and further influenced Theseus.

Gustavo waited until the Thousand-Eyed Race was close to defeat before intervening against the Water Mirror Race. He killed Alcard and made clear that his help would come at a price.

• The Water Mirror Race shifted its assault to the Thousand-Eyed Race, hoping to reclaim Eliduo, while Nervado explained that she could not be placed in a spatial device by anyone else.
• Theseus suggested asking Gustavo for help, and Octavian called out to him, offering the Thousand-Eyed Race’s gratitude and later a costly reward.
• Gustavo ignored the first appeals while studying his new Lower God artifact and waiting for the Thousand-Eyed Race’s need to grow.

• Gustavo appeared before the Thousand-Eyed Race with Alcard’s fading body and told them that his help did not come cheap.

• After the Thousand-Eyed Race ship departed, Gustavo reappeared and watched it go with a smile.

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.

• 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.

• 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 Nirvana Tower escaped and vanished, leaving Kanerxi and Darian unable to stop it.

• 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.
