• Yae Kasumi used the Human Path to make a yokai leader answer An Xiu’s questions, revealing that the Nura Clan was a young force led by Nurarihyon and that Hagoromo Gitsune held power in Kyoto.

Kaguya Houraisan defeated Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto and took control of the Lunar Capital with An Xiu’s help, while planning to transfer the Authority of the Moon. Tsukuyomi woke as a prisoner, refused to surrender his power, and was stunned when Eirin Yagokoro gave him a liquid that greatly increased his strength.

• Eirin Yagokoro found Tsukuyomi awake in a palace side hall and explained why Kaguya had attacked the Lunar Capital.
• Tsukuyomi refused to surrender the Authority of the Moon, so Eirin gave him a drop of liquid that increased his divine power by nearly one-fifth.

After losing to Kaguya Houraisan, Tsukuyomi agreed to give her the Authority of the Moon and serve An Xiu, hoping to discover the source of his power. Half a month later, Kaguya received the authority while Tsukuyomi approached An Xiu for the strength-giving liquid, leaving Kaguya alarmed by what she heard from his room.

• Eirin Yagokoro gave Tsukuyomi a drop of An Xiu’s bodily fluid and explained that it could help preserve or increase his strength after the Authority of the Moon was transferred.

An Xiu empowered Seele to test whether strengthening a Pathstrider could attract an Aeon’s attention, and Lan’s gaze unexpectedly made her a true Emanator of The Hunt. As the Xianzhou Alliance prepared to investigate the miracle, An Xiu considered using the same method to gain more Emanator power and asked Seele what she thought.

• Seele helped Wildfire defeat the Silvermane Guards and secure the Overworld, then went to bring An Xiu to Qlipoth Fort.

An Xiu chose Bronya Rand to become Belobog’s new Supreme Guardian, while keeping the real power in his hands and guiding reforms that improved the city. After making Bronya a second Emanator and helping Belobog emerge as a power with two Emanators, An Xiu opened the refreshed system shop and considered its discounted items.

• An Xiu visited Bronya in prison, then brought her to Cocolia, who confessed that the Stellaron had influenced her to sabotage Belobog and abandon the Underworld.
• An Xiu offered Bronya the Supreme Guardian’s position on the condition that her major orders follow his will, and Bronya accepted.
