After his con­ver­sa­tion with Zee, the nar­ra­tor express­es pro­found melan­choly. He begins to view the mar­velous com­mu­ni­ty of the Vril-ya with dread, real­iz­ing that despite their kind­ness, they could eas­i­ly destroy him. His once-curi­ous inter­est in their unique way of life trans­forms into a long­ing for the famil­iar world above, com­plete with its imper­fec­tions and chal­lenges. He reflects on how the Vril-ya’s soci­ety real­izes many utopi­an ideas philoso­phers dream of, with no war, true equal­i­ty, and a world where the prob­lems of the work­ing class are solved through advanced tech­nol­o­gy and com­mu­nal liv­ing.

Their soci­ety is marked by har­mo­ny, free from the cor­rup­tion of democ­ra­cies and the dis­con­tent of monar­chies, achiev­ing an ide­al state envi­sioned by many but real­ized by none above ground. Their tech­no­log­i­cal mar­vels extend even to abol­ish­ing a sep­a­rate work­ing class, with machines oper­at­ed in a way that eludes the nar­ra­tor’s under­stand­ing. Vices and dis­eases are vir­tu­al­ly non-exis­tent, as the Vril-ya live in a state of last­ing health and moral integri­ty, with aver­age lifes­pans far beyond what is imag­in­able to the sur­face world’s denizens.

The roles and rights of women stand out sig­nif­i­cant­ly in Vril-ya soci­ety. Women are phys­i­cal­ly stronger and pos­sess a more potent will, which gives them supe­ri­or­i­ty in uti­liz­ing the enig­mat­ic pow­er of Vril. This inver­sion of gen­der norms extends to intel­lec­tu­al pur­suits and the right to choose a spouse, chal­lenges con­ven­tion­al views from the nar­ra­tor’s world. Despite the poten­tial for tyran­ny this could intro­duce, the nar­ra­tor observes that in mar­riage, Vril-ya women become sup­port­ive and ten­der part­ners.

Cen­tral to the peace and cohe­sion of the Vril-ya is their uni­fied belief in a benev­o­lent deity and an after­life, which dis­suades pet­ty squab­bles over the­o­log­i­cal nuances. Such beliefs under­pin a soci­ety devoid of the reli­gious strife that plagues the sur­face world. The nar­ra­tor con­cludes that despite the envi­able state of the Vril-ya, trans­plant­i­ng indi­vid­u­als from the upper world into this soci­ety would like­ly lead to dis­sat­is­fac­tion due to entrenched desires for indi­vid­ual achieve­ment and the dynam­ics of com­pe­ti­tion.

Last­ly, the nar­ra­tor mus­es on the poten­tial for cat­a­stroph­ic con­flict should the Vril-ya decide to ascend to the sur­face, due to their dis­dain for upper world gov­er­nance and supe­ri­or abil­i­ties. Any notion of coex­is­tence through inter­mar­riage or grad­ual inte­gra­tion is dis­missed as over­ly opti­mistic, liken­ing the like­li­hood of peace­ful assim­i­la­tion to the his­tor­i­cal inter­ac­tions between Euro­pean colonists and indige­nous pop­u­la­tions. He grim­ly pre­dicts that the Vril-ya’s emer­gence would swift­ly lead to the dom­i­na­tion or exter­mi­na­tion of exist­ing human soci­eties.
