Chapter Summaries

Minami Rika and Feng Shayan apologized to Xiao Mai with valuable gifts, and Wu Tong planned to move his disciple into a better residence. Meanwhile, Teyvat’s nations rushed to prepare for relocation to Douluo World, while Zhongli and Venti strolled through Liyue Harbor instead of helping.

• Minami Rika and Feng Shayan apologized for frightening Xiao Mai and offered her a Golden Bug Arrow and a Herrscher of the Void Core.
• Wu Tong encouraged Xiao Mai to accept the gifts, and she thanked the two women as they reconciled.
• Wu Tong told Xiao Mai he would move her to a better residence, then led her, Feng Shayan, and Minami Rika on a tour of the Academy.
• The returned advance parties hurried to their nations to prepare for the world transfer and handle internal matters before the second Great Honkai.
• Zhongli and Venti wandered through Liyue Harbor while the nations worked on the relocation plan.

Zhongli explained that Liyue’s relocation was a test of the Qixing’s ability to lead, and he would consider ruling again if they failed. Venti reminded Lumine that she had forgotten Aether, who appeared just as she declared that brothers were better off dead.

• Zhongli said the Qixing would handle Liyue’s relocation and that he would restore divine rule if they failed his test.
• Lumine and Paimon strolled through Liyue and met Zhongli and Venti at a teahouse.
• Zhongli told Lumine that his doubts about human rule, deepened by Black Bullet World, had led him to test Liyue’s leaders.
• Venti asked Lumine about her search for her brother, prompting her to remember Aether and complain that brothers were better off dead.
• Aether emerged from the Teleportation Passage and overheard Lumine’s remark.

Kong came to Liyue to recruit Zhongli and the other gods into an alliance against Honkai, but found Lumine criticizing him and ended up fighting her. Lumine’s unexpectedly great strength overwhelmed Kong, leaving him shocked by how powerful she had become.

• Kong decided that Teyvat’s only chance against Honkai was for its nations and gods to unite, and planned to begin by persuading Zhongli to form an alliance with Liyue.
• Kong arrived while Lumine was criticizing him to Paimon, Zhongli, and Venti, and confronted her after hearing her say that a dead big brother was a good big brother.
• Lumine accused Kong of abandoning her, secretly watching her, and taking the treasures from her chests, so Kong admitted to all of it to provoke her into attacking.
• Lumine attacked Kong with her Dull Sword, and Kong defended himself with the Mistsplitter Reforged he had taken from a treasure chest.
• Lumine struck with enough force to nearly knock Mistsplitter Reforged from Kong’s hand, leaving him astonished by her strength, which she had gained after benefiting from Wu Tong.

Lumine and Aether’s fight wrecked a teahouse before Zhongli stopped them and heard Aether’s request for an alliance between Khaenri’ah and Liyue. Aether argued that the nations needed to unite against Honkai, but Zhongli refused, leaving Aether shocked by his confidence that Liyue could survive the threat without an alliance.

• Zhongli restrained Lumine and Aether after their battle damaged the teahouse and endangered its guests.
• Lumine and Aether apologized and paid the teahouse owner for the damage before leaving with Zhongli, Venti, and Paimon.
• At Jueyun Karst, Aether told Zhongli and Venti that he had come to seek an alliance between Khaenri’ah and Liyue.
• Zhongli rejected Aether’s attempt to minimize the harm caused by Khaenri’ah and demanded a direct reason for the alliance.
• Aether warned that Honkai could destroy the nations if they remained divided, but Zhongli said he had another way to lead Liyue through it and refused the alliance.
• Aether stared at Zhongli in disbelief, doubting that he could protect Liyue from Honkai.

Aether learned that Zhongli could help Khaenri'ah escape Honkai and asked to join the relocation plan. Zhongli agreed on the condition that Aether help make amends for the harm Khaenri'ah caused the Seven Nations, explaining that Aether could gain the ability to resurrect the dead in the future.

• Zhongli confirmed that he understood Honkai and had a way to help Liyue survive it, while Venti hinted that the Seven Nations had prepared an escape plan.
• Lumine revealed that the Seven Nations planned to leave, and Aether realized that he wanted to ask Zhongli to bring Khaenri'ah along.
• Zhongli agreed to Aether's request but asked what Aether would do if the Heavenly Principles were gone.
• Aether said he would help restore Khaenri'ah and travel with Lumine to find a harbor where they could settle.
• Zhongli made Aether's inclusion in the Relocation Plan conditional on making up for the harm Khaenri'ah caused the Seven Nations five hundred years earlier.
• Aether said he could not resurrect the dead, and Zhongli explained that he would gain that ability in the future and could use it to atone.

Aether agreed on behalf of Khaenri'ah to Zhongli’s relocation plan and signed an Absolute Contract binding both sides. After Venti explained the other world and its plans, Aether left to prepare Khaenri'ah, leaving Lumine behind again.

• Aether agreed to Zhongli’s proposal on the condition that Khaenri'ah survive Honkai and gain the ability to revive, while promising to make amends to the Seven Nations.
• Zhongli created an Absolute Contract with the terms of Khaenri'ah’s relocation and its duty to earn Soul Net Points for Resurrection Coins, and Aether reviewed and signed it.
• Venti told Aether about the other world, Wu Tong, and the Relocation Plan, leaving Aether excited by the prospect of escaping Honkai and eventually lifting Khaenri'ah’s curse.
• Aether said he needed to return to Khaenri'ah to prepare, ignored Lumine’s protest, and left through the Abyss portal.

Five days after meeting Xiao Mai, Wu Tong had built her a flower-surrounded home near his Treehouse, and she rushed there after oversleeping for their planned meeting. She learned Wu Tong was still asleep, and when he finally woke at noon, Ruan Qingyan reminded him that he had told Xiao Mai to meet him at ten.

• Wu Tong built Xiao Mai a three-story wooden home beside his Treehouse after she rejected other places to live.
• Xiao Mai overslept, rushed to the Treehouse, and apologized, only to find Wu Tong was not there.
• Nangong Yun told Xiao Mai that Wu Tong was still asleep and invited her to sit while she shared stories about him.
• Wu Tong woke at noon beside Ruan Qingyan and the other four women of Star Luo, having forgotten his plan to meet Xiao Mai.
• Ruan Qingyan reminded Wu Tong that he had told Xiao Mai to meet him at ten, and he paused at the reminder.

Wu Tong took Xiao Mai to the DanMachi World to train her while visiting Hestia, who had led her strengthened Familia into the Great Tree Sea to defeat the Calamity Scorpion and prevent Artemis’s fate from the original plot. Hestia’s party had traveled for nearly three days, but she was exhausted and could only assure the others that they were close.

• Wu Tong remembered standing up Xiao Mai but stayed in bed with Ruan Qingyan, delaying his apology until late afternoon.
• Wu Tong apologized to Xiao Mai, then shared a meal with her and explained that he planned to visit the DanMachi World because he was bored.
• Wu Tong chose to bring Xiao Mai along to train in the Dungeon and traveled with her to Hestia’s world.
• Hestia led her Familia through the Great Tree Sea toward the Ersos ruins to defeat Andariel, the Calamity Scorpion, and protect Artemis from her original fate.
• Nakano Yotsuba asked Hestia whether they had nearly reached the ruins, and the exhausted goddess sleepily told her they would arrive soon.

After nearly three days of travel, Hestia’s exhausted group prepared to rest in the Great Tree Sea when Wu Tong arrived through a portal. He agreed to help them face Andariel, but Hestia hesitated when he asked why they had come to the forest.

• After a circular screen of light appeared, the women drew their weapons until Wu Tong emerged and they recognized him.
• Wu Tong praised the women’s growth, released Doma Umaru from hiding, and realized the surrounding forest was not Orario.
• Wu Tong revived the exhausted Hestia with Life Light and learned that they were in the Great Tree Sea, home to the monster Andariel.
• Hestia claimed that her Familia members and their powerful equipment could handle Andariel, and Wu Tong realized she had invited him to recruit his help.
• Wu Tong agreed to assist Hestia and asked why she had brought the group to the Great Tree Sea, but she struggled to explain.

Hestia admitted that she had come to help Artemis eliminate threats, while Wu Tong realized she had hidden this because she feared he would pursue Artemis. As the group chatted in the Great Tree Sea, a hostile Scorpion Monster swarm approached unnoticed, and Xiao Mai was attacked from behind.

• Hestia first claimed she had come to bring Miko's remaining familia members, but admitted the real reason was to help Artemis clear out threats.
• Wu Tong guessed Hestia had concealed her purpose because she worried he would make a move on Artemis, and he defended his past relationships as consensual.
• The Hestia Familia women secretly eavesdropped on Wu Tong and Hestia while a vast Scorpion Monster swarm began moving toward them.
• Xiao Mai noticed the forest withering and turned to warn Wu Tong, but a black spear-like weapon shot from the grass toward her heart.

Xiao Mai survived a Calamity Scorpion Split Body’s ambush when her defensive barrier reflected its poisoned tail, and the Hestia Familia prepared to fight the creature. The Split Body Wave overwhelmed the forest with monsters, leaving the women wary as Rikka Takanashi activated her Evil King's True Eye.

• Xiao Mai’s protective jade ornament deflected the Calamity Scorpion Split Body’s attack and killed the ambusher with reflected damage.
• Xiao Mai warned the Hestia Familia that a poisonous black scorpion tail had attacked her, and the women mistook it for Andariel until Hestia explained it was only a Split Sub-body.
• Wu Tong cautioned the women that the Split Body Wave would be difficult, but they dismissed his warning when the first Calamity Scorpion Split Body appeared.
• More Split Bodies gathered into a massive wave, making the Hestia Familia realize that defeating them would be challenging.
• Hoshino Ai reassured Hitori Gotō about her strength and protective items, easing her fear before the battle.
• Rikka Takanashi faced the approaching monsters excitedly and activated her golden Evil King's True Eye.

Hestia’s Familia fought to break through a Scorpion Monster horde, with Shizuka Hiratsuka leading the charge and Hitori Gotō supporting the group with music magic. Wu Tong examined Shizuka’s Falna and watched the Level 5s battle as Hestia proudly showed off her Familia.

• Rikka Takanashi boasted about her Fantasy Materialization Domain until Toka Takanashi struck her with a ladle and warned her not to waste it before facing Andariel.
• Shizuka Hiratsuka organized a coordinated breakout toward the ruins and activated Iron Fist Invincible to smash through the Scorpion Monsters.
• Wu Tong laughed at Shizuka Hiratsuka’s skill name, and Hestia handed him Shizuka’s Falna information to show him the skill’s power.
• Wu Tong praised Shizuka Hiratsuka’s combination of magic, skills, and abilities as Hestia celebrated her Familia.
• Hitori Gotō played Dream Music to strengthen the women while Rikka Takanashi and the other adventurers fought through the monster horde.
• Wu Tong watched the battle in surprise at how much the women had grown, and Hestia asked if he thought her Familia was impressive.

Wu Tong warned Hestia about the dangers of the Group Leader’s world after learning she had visited it without reading its files, while the Hestia Familia continued fighting the seemingly endless monster horde. Chika Fujiwara’s suggestion to use a nuclear bomb was rejected, and the chapter left Doma Umaru fighting energetically as Toka Takanashi checked on her.

• Hestia told Wu Tong she had equipped her Familia with life-saving items and trusted their strength against the monsters.
• Wu Tong sent Hestia information about the Group Leader’s perilous world, frightening her before reassuring her that its dangers would not reach them through the chat group.
• The Hestia Familia continued battling the Splitter Monsters without serious injuries, though their seemingly endless numbers wore the fighters down.
• Chika Fujiwara proposed launching a nuclear bomb, but Kaguya Shinomiya and Shizuka Hiratsuka stopped her and warned that it was a last-resort weapon.
• Doma Umaru fought through the monster horde using her Martial Soul: Game Domain, and Toka Takanashi asked whether she was feeling all right.

Doma Umaru explained how her Game Domain let her treat monsters as game enemies as the Familia reached Andariel’s corrupted Temple. After the entrance sealed and newborn Calamity Scorpions hatched, Shizuka Hiratsuka wiped them out with one area attack, leaving the group to continue inward.

• Doma Umaru told Toka Takanashi that her Game Domain gamified nearby creatures and let her fight monsters without psychological distress.
• The Familia crossed a bridge and entered the ruins, where the monsters vanished and the members briefly rested before heading deeper.
• The group found the Temple overtaken by pulsing tissue and monster eggs, and Kurisu Makise estimated that Andariel’s erosion would break the seal within a year.
• The tissue sealed the passage behind the Familia, and eggs hatched into small Calamity Scorpions as a Level 3 Calamity Scorpion blocked the other route.
• Kaguya Shinomiya cut down the large Calamity Scorpion, and Shizuka Hiratsuka destroyed the newborn scorpions throughout the passage with her Earth Shattering Ripple Ruler.

As the Hestia Familia’s advance toward Andariel triggered an unknown resonance, the Dungeon erupted into a riot and its monsters surged toward the surface. Eina alerted the Guild, and the major Familias mobilized to defend Orario as Freya sent Ottar and others to the Dungeon and received a visit from Loki.

• The approaching Hestia Familia caused Andariel’s fear to resonate with the Dungeon, sending monsters into a frenzy and driving them toward the surface.
• A wounded adventurer told Eina that the Dungeon’s monsters were rampaging, and Eina rushed to report the emergency to the Guild.
• The Guild issued an emergency Summon Order, and Finn led the Loki Familia into battle against the monsters pouring from the Dungeon.
• The Loki Familia struggled to hold back the overwhelming tide while they waited for reinforcements from other Familias.
• Freya sent Ottar, Allen, and the others to the Dungeon, then learned that Loki had arrived.

Loki and Hermes learned that Hestia Familia was subjugating Andariel, while major Familias mobilized to reinforce the Dungeon defense. Freya Familia and other reinforcements relieved the exhausted Loki Familia, which then prepared to counterattack into the Dungeon.

• Loki visited Freya, who had no leads about the Dungeon disaster, and found that Ottar was already fighting below.
• Hermes learned that Hestia Familia was subjugating Andariel and ordered Asfi to gather Hermes Familia, revealing that she no longer needed to hide her Level 4 strength.
• Artemis prepared her Familia to head to the Dungeon after receiving the guild's message about the riot, though she remained puzzled by her feeling that the disaster was connected to her.
• Loki Familia and the smaller Familias continued battling the endless Monster horde until Ottar arrived with Freya Familia and split a Red Dragon in half.
• Ottar and the other Familias took over the fighting, allowing Loki Familia to recover with potions and medicines.
• After the reinforcements arrived and Loki Familia rested, Finn ordered his companions to counterattack into the Dungeon.

The Hestia Familia confronted the ancient monster Andariel in its lair, while Wu Tong and Hestia mocked it from the sidelines. Rikka Takanashi erased Andariel’s charged attack with her Fantasy Materialization Domain and helped Shizuka Hiratsuka land a strike, leaving the battle heavily tilted against the monster.

• The Hestia Familia found Andariel, a gigantic ancient scorpion, in the center of the Temple.
• Wu Tong and Hestia commented on Andariel’s ugly appearance, angering the monster as it sensed Wu Tong was a god.
• Andariel charged a powerful energy attack, but Rikka Takanashi activated her Evil King's True Eye Materialization Domain and erased it with a snap.
• Shizuka Hiratsuka charged Andariel with a powerful punch, and the monster dodged just enough to protect its head and heart.
• Rikka Takanashi opened a spatial gate that redirected Shizuka Hiratsuka’s punch toward Andariel’s head.

Andariel’s death ended the Dungeon riot in Orario, and the city recovered over the next three days. Hestia’s group then arrived at Orario, where Hestia introduced Wu Tong as a newly descended god preparing to establish a Familia.

• Shizuka Hiratsuka struck Andariel down, and its death caused the Dungeon monsters in Orario to retreat.
• Finn and Riveria welcomed the end of the monster wave but worried that Loki Familia would have to investigate the riot’s aftermath.
• After three days of recovery, Orario returned to normal apart from extra patrols at the Dungeon entrance.
• Wu Tong and Hestia’s group arrived at Orario, and Hestia rejected his invitation to live with him because her one-year probation period was still in effect.
• Karta greeted Hestia at the city gate, and Hestia presented Wu Tong as a god who had recently descended to the lower world.

Wu Tong registered his Familia at the Adventurer's Guild, where Fels arrived on Ouranos's request. When Wu Tong demanded to know how Fels had identified him as a god from another world, Ouranos spoke up and claimed responsibility.

• After entering Orario, Hestia returned with her Familia to rest while Wu Tong and Xiao Mai headed for the Tower of Babel.
