Ling Feng brought Danzhu, Cang Xuan, and Xiao Lu into the Imaginary Space and warned them to keep the Herrscher of the Void secret. He then returned to the Hyperion and took Fu Hua into the space, while Otto learned that True Kiana had joined Ling Feng’s group and turned his attention back to the search for more memory metal spheres.

• Ling Feng asked the Queen for help bringing Chiyou into the Imaginary Space, and she assured him he could travel between the spaces safely without spatial rope.
• Ling Feng found Xiao Lu with Danzhu and Cang Xuan, ordered all three to conceal the Herrscher of the Void, and stopped Danzhu from insulting his wife.
• Ling Feng left the Imaginary Space and brought Fu Hua inside, while True Kiana remained aboard the Hyperion and wondered what he was hiding.
• Durandal informed Otto that True Kiana had left on her own and boarded the Hyperion under Ling Feng’s command.
• Otto set aside his concern about True Kiana and asked about the exploration of Nine Nether and the search for other memory metal spheres.

Otto learned that Chiyou was unlikely to awaken soon, while Ling Feng reunited Fu Hua with Danzhu, Cang Xuan, and Xiao Lu, who explained their shared past. Fu Hua and Ling Feng decided to give the last memory metal sphere to Tesla, and the chapter ended with Ling Feng agreeing to stay with True Kiana for the night after she begged not to be left alone.

• Durandal reported that Schicksal had not found what Otto wanted in Nine Nether, that the Far East Branch had taken the Xuanyuan Key, and that Chiyou would not awaken soon.
• Ling Feng brought Fu Hua to Imaginary Space, where Danzhu, Cang Xuan, and Xiao Lu recounted their mission and explained how the group had entered slumber and later awakened.

• True Kiana begged Ling Feng not to leave her alone, and he kissed her and agreed to stay, asking her to keep their relationship and his affection private.

Ling Feng reunited True Kiana with Theresa, then gave Tesla the final sphere from the Stairway Plan and explained that it contained the old civilization’s advanced knowledge. Tesla was eager to study it, but Ling Feng revealed that they needed Quantum Technology to access its data.

• Ling Feng secretly left True Kiana’s room the morning after spending the night with her, while Rita noticed his carelessness about being photographed.
• Ling Feng brought True Kiana to Theresa and revealed that she was the real Kiana, prompting Theresa to embrace her and invite her to stay at St. Freya Academy.
• Ling Feng left Theresa and True Kiana to talk and went to Tesla’s laboratory with breakfast and a white sphere.
• Ling Feng told Tesla that the sphere was the final Stairway Plan artifact, containing the previous civilization’s highest technology and theories, and Tesla excitedly hugged him.
• Ling Feng explained that the sphere held quantum data and required Quantum Technology to analyze, leaving Tesla unsure how to proceed.

Tesla brought Ein to St. Freya Academy to help decipher the metal sphere, while Ling Feng used Imaginary Space to transport Ein’s quantum equipment. After the researchers began their work, Ling Feng visited the bored Queen and later bought her a maid outfit, but she hesitated to put it on.

• Tesla asked Ling Feng if she could share the sphere’s knowledge with Ein, and he agreed because he trusted them both.
• Tesla contacted Ein, and Ling Feng used the Moonlight Throne and Imaginary Space to bring Ein and her quantum equipment from North America to St. Freya Academy.
• Theresa confirmed the identities of the twin girls and Xiao Lu, and Xiao Lu joined Tesla and Ein’s research team.
• Ein proposed trading herself to Ling Feng for the metal sphere and asked about his pregnant partners, while Tesla interrupted her and force-fed her durian.
• Ling Feng left the laboratory to visit the Queen in Imaginary Space, then went to Magic City and bought her a revealing maid outfit.
• Ling Feng presented the outfit to the Queen, who questioned its short skirt and put off wearing it.

Ling Feng reassured Theresa that he intended to marry and care for the women he loved, including both Kianas, before discussing marriage with Fu Hua. Fu Hua hesitated, leaving their decision unresolved.

• The Queen refused to wear the maid outfit and used her Spatial Ability to throw Ling Feng out when he tried to make her change.
• Theresa confronted Ling Feng about his relationship with the real Kiana and asked how he planned to protect the futures of both Kianas and the other women.

• Theresa chased Ling Feng with Judah after he teased her about her height, then joined Kiana and the others to play games.
• Fu Hua told Ling Feng she hoped to learn the knowledge held by the twin girls and Xiao Lu so she could keep protecting Shenzhou.
• Ling Feng asked Fu Hua whether she had thought about getting married, and Fu Hua hesitated as she recalled the losses she had faced over five thousand years.

Fu Hua accepted Ling Feng’s proposal to consider marriage and was ordered to give up her Valkyrie duties so she could rest and raise their child. Later, Mei took the initiative with Ling Feng, and he responded to her confession with a kiss.

• Fu Hua told Ling Feng that she feared outliving him and their child, while Ling Feng urged her to focus on the present and consider marriage in time.
• Ling Feng embraced Fu Hua and ordered her to relinquish her duties protecting Shenzhou and rest while preparing their child to become its next guardian.
• Theresa took True Kiana to her apartment, and Rita tried to invite Ling Feng to spend the night with her before Mei interrupted to ask for help imprinting her stigmata.
• Ling Feng erased Mei’s stigmata and massaged her, while Mei asked him about his encounter with Kiana and admitted she wanted him to choose her instead.
• Mei told Ling Feng she would no longer hesitate, and he helped her up and kissed her.

Ling Feng’s attempt to get closer to Mei was interrupted by Kiana, so he carried Kiana away and then helped her finish her homework. After putting Kiana to bed, he returned to the Imaginary Space and found that the Queen looked different.

• Ling Feng tried to continue with Mei, but Kiana walked in, and Mei pushed him out and locked the door.
• Ling Feng carried Kiana to her room and punished her while she kept playing a game with Bronya.
• Kiana remembered her homework, changed without putting on underwear, and began working at her desk.
• Ling Feng taught Kiana until they finished her homework at eleven, then carried her to bed.
• Ling Feng left Kiana to sleep, returned to the Imaginary Space, and noticed that the Queen had changed.

The Queen surprised Ling Feng by dressing as his maid and nervously serving him, including helping him bathe. Afterward, she wanted to keep playing the maid, but Ling Feng reassured her that simply staying by his side was what he wanted.

• The Queen greeted Ling Feng in a maid outfit and invited him inside, explaining that she had prepared to act as his maid.
• Ling Feng asked the Queen to heat water for his bath, and she prepared his clothes before entering to scrub his back.
• The Queen slipped while bathing and lost her towel, so Ling Feng lifted her and suggested they soak together.
• After their bath, the Queen put her maid outfit back on and asked whether she could do anything else for Ling Feng.
• The Queen offered to make instant noodles, but Ling Feng stopped her and told her that having her by his side was his greatest wish.

Ling Feng visited Himeko after learning she had missed class, found her collapsed at home, and cared for her while she recovered. Himeko blamed her condition on drinking and eating too little, but Ling Feng remained concerned and urged her to get another examination.

• Ling Feng and the Queen reaffirmed their bond before becoming intimate, while Ein told Tesla she wanted to test her theory about reproductive differences between people of the Previous civilization and their era.
• Ling Feng learned that Himeko had taken leave and went to check on her, finding her lying unconscious on the floor.
• Himeko woke and said she had fallen asleep after drinking too much while trying to make hangover medicine.
• Ling Feng helped Himeko onto the sofa, noticed she seemed unusually limp, and cooked her noodles.
• After Himeko ate, Ling Feng asked whether the Xuanyuan Sword's control had affected her and offered to take her to Tesla for an examination, but Himeko refused and said she had recently been checked.

Himeko concealed her worsening Honkai corruption from Ling Feng while he and the others advanced their quantum experiments. A test on a monkey went wrong, and Ling Feng was struck by the Quantum Beam, briefly turning translucent before reappearing.

• Himeko sent Ling Feng away, then coughed up pink, Honkai-corrupted blood and injected herself to delay her transformation.
• Over the following days, Ling Feng and True Kiana watched Tesla and Ein’s experiments progress from animals to reliable quantization of white mice.
• True Kiana buried the animals that died in the experiments and explained to Ling Feng that they deserved gratitude for helping humanity.
• Ein chose a monkey for the next experiment because she did not want to test directly on humans, and Ling Feng helped restrain it.
• The quantized monkey escaped its restraints, disrupted the experiment, and knocked the Quantum Beam equipment over as it fled.
• Ling Feng shoved Ein out of the beam’s path but was struck himself; he turned translucent blue briefly, reappeared, and assured Ein that he was unharmed.

Ling Feng lost the visible use of his right arm when he saved Ein from a quantum beam, but Ein and Tesla discovered that it remained in a quantum state and could still move when the device made it visible. With the arm still impossible to restore, Ein proposed keeping Ling Feng in the laboratory overnight so they could observe him.

• Ling Feng realized his right arm had vanished after shielding Ein, and Ein blamed herself while Tesla and True Kiana questioned what had happened to the monkey.
• Ling Feng said he could still feel and move his arm, so Ein and Tesla restarted the device and made the quantum-state arm appear as a translucent blue limb.
• Ling Feng touched Ein's hand with the visible arm, and the arm vanished again when Tesla switched off the device.
• Ein promised to restore Ling Feng's arm and care for him, while True Kiana insisted that she would look after him instead.
• Ling Feng agreed that they should keep his condition secret, and Ein suggested he stay in the laboratory overnight for observation; Tesla agreed.

After Ling Feng stayed at Tesla and Ein’s laboratory to have his missing arm repaired, Ein fed him dinner and questioned him about saving her. Their teasing conversation led Ein to confess that she liked him and wanted to marry him, leaving Ling Feng stunned and Tesla protesting.

• Ling Feng moved into Tesla and Ein’s laboratory, told Mei and the others he would be away, and confirmed that his arm was still gone but could move.
• True Kiana fed Ling Feng lunch while Tesla, Ein, and the others hurried to find a way to restore his arm.
• Ein fed Ling Feng dinner and asked whether he had hesitated before saving her from a Quantum Beam.
• Ling Feng called Ein cute and said he had liked Tesla in the morning but liked Ein in the afternoon, prompting Ein to ask whether he had just said he liked her.
• Ein admitted she liked Ling Feng and wanted to marry him, while Tesla protested and Ling Feng questioned whether Ein understood what she was saying.

Ling Feng experienced a vivid dream in which a mysterious figure held his vanished right hand, then spent the night hearing animal sounds despite the laboratory animals having been removed. The next morning, Tesla and Ein confirmed the basement was empty, leaving the source of the sounds unexplained.

• Ein confessed that she liked Ling Feng and proposed proving it physically, but Tesla struck her and dragged her away.
• Ling Feng spent the evening watching Tesla and Ein make progress with Quantum Technology while his right arm intermittently appeared and disappeared.
• Ling Feng dreamed that a flickering violet-blue figure held his restored right hand; after he touched something soft and heard a girl cry out, he woke to a painful cheek and a missing arm.
• Ling Feng heard sheep, dogs, and cats throughout the night, repeatedly waking him until he finally slept by focusing on Ein's lingering scent.
• At breakfast, Ling Feng told Tesla and Ein that animal noises had kept him awake, but both said all the animals had been removed the previous afternoon.
• Tesla and Ein took Ling Feng to inspect the basement storage rooms, where they found no animals and could not explain the sounds he had heard.

After Ling Feng saw quantum animals in the laboratory, Ein and Tesla explained that his exposure to the Quantum Beam let him perceive quantum organisms while half-asleep. Ein offered to sleep beside him to help him rest, and Ling Feng drifted off in the comfort of her scent.

• Ein sent the exhausted Ling Feng upstairs to sleep while she, Tesla, and Xiao Lu discussed his reported animal sounds and possible connection to the Quantum Beam.
• Tesla and Ein watched Ling Feng through cameras and saw him wake around one in the morning, irritated by sounds they could not hear.
• Ling Feng went to the basement, attacked apparitions of glowing quantum animals, and began damaging the laboratory until Ein restrained and calmed him.
• Ein and Tesla explained that Ling Feng had seen quantum organisms because the Quantum Beam affected him and his awareness weakened as he grew drowsy.
• Ein offered to sleep beside Ling Feng, then followed him to his room and lay down with him; breathing in her familiar scent, he began to fall asleep.

Ling Feng slept peacefully in Ein’s arms, and Ein confessed that she liked him before his right arm briefly reappeared in a blue quantum state. Tesla and Xiao Lu continued studying the Quantum Beam, while the group discovered a purple formula written on Ling Feng’s palm and recorded it before it vanished.

• Ein held Ling Feng and used her calming natural scent to help him sleep, while a blue human-shaped figure transferred light into his missing right arm.
• Ling Feng woke beside Ein, and she said she liked him and asked whether the night together proved her feelings were genuine.
• Ling Feng’s blue right arm reappeared as the Quantum Beam activated, and Ein noticed writing on his palm before the arm disappeared again.
• Tesla said she had found a pattern for restoring Ling Feng’s arm and estimated it would take two or three days to a week.
• Tesla activated the Quantum Beam again, revealing a purple formula on Ling Feng’s palm, and she copied and photographed it as Ein identified it as writing made with Honkai energy.

Ein, Tesla, and Xiao Lu studied the formulas that appeared on Ling Feng’s quantum arm, while Tesla confirmed that they described the conversion between quantum and collapsed states. After Seele visited Ling Feng in the night and asked for his help, Ling Feng told Ein and Tesla about her, and Ein connected Seele to Bronya’s orphanage.

• Tesla verified that the formulas on Ling Feng’s palm matched the quantum-state conversion formula, but Ein and Tesla treated them only as references and continued calculating the remaining sequences.
• Tesla concluded that quantum creatures did not experience time but still needed energy, and explained that Ling Feng’s arm could appear wherever the Quantum Beam was activated.
• Seele appeared to Ling Feng at night, wrote formulas on his quantum arm, identified herself as someone from the orphanage with Sister Bronya, and asked him to keep his arm quantum at night and help her.
• Ling Feng kissed Ein and promised not to leave her, and Ein joked that the kiss had no effect before warning him not to surprise her again.
• Ling Feng told Ein and Tesla that Seele had visited him and asked for help, and Ein recognized that Seele had been part of Cocolia’s orphanage alongside Bronya.

Ling Feng and the scientists used Seele’s formula to restore his quantum-state arm, but they still needed a way to bring Seele back. Ein suggested the formula might have come from the memory sphere left by the Previous civilization.

• Ein identified the Quantum Ghost as Seele Furla, Bronya’s companion from Cocolia’s orphanage, and Ling Feng deduced that Seele had written the formula on his arm to ask for help.
• Tesla verified the formulas on Ling Feng’s arm, and Ling Feng volunteered to test the procedure that could return a quantum-state human to a collapsed state.
• Ein and Tesla used the Quantum Beam to restore Ling Feng’s arm to its physical form.
• Ling Feng thanked Ein and reached toward Tesla, but Ein’s push sent him into Tesla’s arms, leaving Tesla flustered.
• Tesla explained that Seele would need a separate formula based on her own genes, and Ein suggested Seele might have obtained her formula from the Previous civilization’s memory sphere.

Ling Feng and the researchers chose to pursue the Memory Ball’s knowledge while also finding a way to save Seele, and Xiao Lu successfully explored the Memory Ball before Ling Feng brought her back. Seele then revealed how she had found the quantum formulas and admitted she had secretly followed Ling Feng and learned many of his private affairs.

• Ein advised Ling Feng to prioritize the Memory Ball, but Ling Feng decided to pursue its knowledge and rescue Seele at the same time.
• Ling Feng and Xiao Lu successfully underwent quantum conversion experiments, and Xiao Lu entered the Memory Ball to study its vast store of knowledge.
• Ling Feng entered the Quantum World to retrieve Xiao Lu after she lost track of time inside the Memory Ball, and they returned safely to the laboratory.
• Seele appeared to Ling Feng at the laboratory, and he recognized her as the voice he had heard before.
• Seele told Ling Feng that she had learned the formulas from the Memory Ball and had remained beside Bronya since Cocolia’s experiment left her in a quantum state.
• Seele admitted she had followed Ling Feng and knew many of his secrets, leaving him worried about what she had witnessed.
