On the last day, Yu Xunge arrived in Undead Wildfire's Timeline and found Undead Wildfire, who had already broken free of her God's Gift.
"What's your plan?" Everything gained came at a price. Ever since Zai Jiu Xunge had come here a hundred years ago and told her she would give her a hundred years, Undead Wildfire had known that, whether the other woman had thought of a plan or not, she would become part of it.

"Your B80 disappeared too, didn't she?" Yu Xunge got straight to the point. "The Mechanical Race controls the Order Clock. The authority and strength I've accumulated over one Epoch can't defeat them. I'll take everything in my Timeline back to the First Epoch and find a way out.
"I'll take my story back into the past. Once I leave, your Timeline will be the most brilliant Timeline. Keep moving forward.
"You'll become an uncontaminated sample and the best record I leave behind. If we find the truth and resolve the source of everything, I'll bring my story to you and continue walking alongside you between light and shadow."
