The chapter left Yu Xunhuan relying on Yu Xunge as his only hope against Black Jade, despite her growing distance from him.

• Yu Xunge fought alongside the Oak Owls, endured repeated near-fatal accidents, and used fruit tossed to her by allies to restore her HP.

Yu Xunge fought alongside the Oak Owls before being reassigned to the cooking huts, where she learned about Forest Sea’s long war against Zelan and studied the Oak Owls’ abilities and fruits. Two years passed in her routine of cooking and occasional battlefield training, while she continued investigating her wings and the skills and knowledge from Spring Will Not Be Late and Gold Medal Killer.

• Yu Xunge heard that Song Gui had obtained Lizhou, then continued cooking while taking occasional leave to train on the battlefield.
• Yu Xunge studied magical fruits and her own wings’ inaccessible ability, living this routine for two years.

As the war reached its most intense phase in 7199, she was assigned to manage equipment in the Rose Forest legion, with nineteen years still remaining before the war’s end.

Yu Xunge reflected on how decades of reincarnations had changed her and worried that she was becoming too conditioned to fight alongside the Oak Owls. After searching for a fellow Dinghai member, she met Liang Yuchuan, who mistook her for a close family acquaintance and talked at length about her relatives and past reincarnations.

• Yu Xunge recalled how her years of war had trained her to analyze enemies and treat the Oak Owls as allies, making her fear she might not be able to fight them after leaving the tower.
• Yu Xunge disguised herself with red markings and bells, then searched for someone from Dinghai while Tulan accompanied her as a sparrow.
• Yu Xunge met the red-decorated Oak Owl Spicy Vinegar, and both women excitedly mistook each other for fellow Dinghai members.
• Spicy Vinegar identified herself as Liang Yuchuan from S City and thanked Yu Xunge for saving her great-grandparents, then shared news about her family and her uncle Liang Ya.
• Liang Yuchuan kept Yu Xunge and Tulan talking for half an hour, recounting her past imprisonments and declaring that Tulan was a Sagittarius.

• Yu Xunge decided to defect sooner and used her status to gather fruit, potions, equipment, and five B-rank elemental skills.
• On the fifth day, Yu Xunge received the oak owls’ arrest warrant.

Yu Xunge returned to the oak owl camp to kill enemies and steal attribute points, then reunited with Liang Yuchuan and found Zhao Shuying, who joined their party. As alarms sounded in the camp near dawn, Yu Xunge waited at a cliff outside while preparing Jade Feast.

• Yu Xunge avoided an ambush at breakfast, stole an A-rank Blood Debt Blood Repayment Skill Book, and learned that she and Liang Yuchuan had been branded traitors.
• Yu Xunge returned to the camp to kill oak owls and strengthen herself, where she ran into Liang Yuchuan, who had also returned to hunt alone.

• The three women split up and assassinated oak owls through the night, while Yu Xunge gradually overcame her hesitation about killing them.
• Near dawn, Yu Xunge left the camp and waited at a southwest cliff; explosions and Alarm Peppers sounded behind her as she charged Jade Feast.

Yu Xunge, Liang Yuchuan, and Zhao Shuying formed a team to take jobs and gather information, naming their organization Just for Money. Seven years later, Yu Xunge and Liang Yuchuan fled after completing an assassination mission, with Liang Yuchuan angry that Oak Owls had insulted Yu Xunge.

• Yu Xunge, Liang Yuchuan, and Zhao Shuying agreed to pursue their separate goals together, with Zhao Shuying handling the team's outside operations and negotiations.

After seven years of missions and evading pursuit, Yu Xunge reached the final materials needed to refine Spring Will Not Be Late and Gold Medal Killer, while enduring Liang Yuchuan’s infuriating habit of killing anyone who insulted her. By the end of Ruinkor Year 7206, Yu Xunge and her companions understood more about the invasion, and she feared Blue Star might fall sooner than the Forest Sea because many of its Instance Barriers were hidden beneath the oceans.

• Yu Xunge returned to the hideout with Zhao Shuying and Liang Yuchuan, demanded to take only Solo Missions, then accepted fifty-two materials from Zhao Shuying as the last ingredients for two refinements.
• Liang Yuchuan received a new Gauntlet Blade and provoked Yu Xunge with a gesture she had learned from Tulan, so Yu Xunge hurled Tulan away in frustration.
• Yu Xunge reflected on the skills she had gathered over seven years, mostly C-rank, along with four B-rank Skills and one A-rank Skill.
• Yu Xunge considered how the tower’s memory-born figures differed from its heroic spirits and suspected that part of the shattered Forest Sea might exist within the tower.
• By the end of Ruinkor Year 7206, Yu Xunge and her companions judged that the Forest Sea’s five-year grace period had ended and that Blue Star could fare worse because many Instance Barriers lay hidden on the seafloor.

After years in the Tower, Yu Xunge experimented with Arcana and used it to activate Who Will Cut The Moonlight in an untouched region. The attempt caused severe pain and left moon sand inside her right eye, and she and Tulan hurried back after sharing an awkwardly heartfelt exchange.

• Yu Xunge discovered that Arcana could strengthen skills to extraordinary levels, while Tulan accumulated points but refused to spend hers except to protect Yu Xunge.
• Yu Xunge and Tulan traveled to an untouched region of the forest sea so Yu Xunge could use Arcana to activate Who Will Cut The Moonlight.
• The skill flashed with a view of the sky over Midnight City, then caused Yu Xunge intense pain and sent her plummeting.

• Tulan admitted that Yu Xunge was important to her, and Yu Xunge reacted by fidgeting before insisting they return to eat.
• Tulan asked why Yu Xunge would not say she liked her, and Yu Xunge loudly refused, leaving them bickering as they headed back.

Yu Xunge learned from Zhao Shuying that Instance Barriers might be permanently closed using designated items collected from alien races, and she began gathering them. The chapter left Zhao Shuying pursuing power within Dinghai while Yu Xunge and Tulan continued their quests.

• Zhao Shuying told Yu Xunge that disappearing Instance Barriers might be permanently closed using signature items collected from alien races.
• Zhao Shuying suspected Dinghai kept the method secret because closing barriers offered benefits, and she planned to test it with Yu Xunge and Tulan.

• Yu Xunge explained that Zhao Shuying wanted to compete for power, and Tulan wondered why anyone had time for that during the Zelan invasion.
• Yu Xunge and Tulan began collecting designated items, though some were difficult to obtain or identify.

Yu Xunge considered the difficulty of obtaining Zhuman candle flames and the Fountain of Immortality, then joked with Tulan about how Zhumen handled their hair. After Zhao Shuying told her that someone from Dinghai wanted to join Money Only, Yu Xunge warned her to be careful and wondered whether Oak Owl had been communicating with the heroic spirits in their world.

• Yu Xunge explained why obtaining moon fox tails, Zhuman candle flames, and the Fountain of Immortality would be difficult.
• Yu Xunge asked Tulan a series of questions about Zhumen hair and candle flames, leaving Tulan overwhelmed.

• Yu Xunge declined to return to the base and told Zhao Shuying to stay cautious around the newcomer.
• Yu Xunge wondered whether Oak Owl had been able to contact the heroic spirits outside their world.

Yu Xunge spent the years before the war training Tulan, developing her alchemy and combat skills, and keeping cautious ties with Zhao Shuying and Liang Yuchuan. By the end of 7217, she had reached level 72 and was ready to return to the battlefield, where she had become stronger despite being unable to benefit from Traitor Owl Life Level Evolutions.

• Yu Xunge warned Zhao Shuying to verify her messages with a secret answer and agreed that she, Zhao Shuying, and Liang Yuchuan would act together when the time came.
• Yu Xunge discovered Tulan’s engineering talent when Tulan combined dismantled toys into a purple-quality transforming race car, then began giving her engineering products to experiment with.
• Liang Yuchuan told Yu Xunge that she had killed three members of Only Recognizes Money after they bullied and accused her of being a Blue Star traitor.
• By the end of 7217, Yu Xunge had reached level 72 and found that Traitor Owls, including her and her allies, could not benefit from Forest Sea Life Level Evolution announcements.
• Yu Xunge’s combat skills had developed into a system, and Fox Shadow had advanced from C-rank to A+-rank through practice.

Over ten years, Yu Xunge honed her alchemy and used Moon Sand to upgrade Furious Moon and increase her ultimate power, though her eye showed no change. She reunited with Zhao Shuying and Liang Yuchuan to exchange collected items, while the war between the Oak Owls and the alien races remained unresolved.

• Yu Xunge mastered Lucia’s potion standards, studied Hechipa’s notes, and created several intermediate potions of her own.
• Yu Xunge fed the Moon Sand from her right eye to Furious Moon, raising its upgrade progress and increasing her and Tulan’s ultimate points.
• Yu Xunge and Tulan used Moonlight Clipping beneath a Mu Tree, but Yu Xunge’s right eye did not change and the Tower’s night sky quickly returned to normal.
• Yu Xunge and Tulan met Zhao Shuying and Liang Yuchuan, who had gathered three level-20 sets of designated items from the Oak Owls.
• Yu Xunge and Liang Yuchuan exchanged their collected items, but the Moon Fox’s first tail, the Candle Barbarian’s candle flame, and the Fountain of Immortality remained difficult to obtain.
• The Oak Owls and the eleven alien races continued fighting to a stalemate, with the decisive battle apparently taking place where Song Rose Maple Syrup Peach Crown was.

Yu Xunge and Zhao Shuying suspected that the Instance Barrier rejected them because it could not load reality, then discussed their plans for the remaining reincarnations. In the fifth reincarnation, Yu Xunge became an assistant cook and resolved to stay in the kitchen, where she began learning to cook for Lizhou.

• Yu Xunge, Zhao Shuying, and Liang Yuchuan used eleven level 20 specific items to enter an Instance Barrier, but it rejected them almost immediately.
• Yu Xunge reasoned that the High Tower could not load reality, and Zhao Shuying agreed that entering with the items might lead to real Zeland rather than its projection.
• Liang Yuchuan and Tulan abandoned their Game Console and started fighting while Yu Xunge and Zhao Shuying discussed their plans.
• Yu Xunge told Zhao Shuying she planned to spend one reincarnation with the Oak Owls and another on her own, while privately intending to defect when the opportunity arose.

• In her third year in the kitchen, Yu Xunge began cooking for Lizhou when the Kitchen Hand was away resting.

Yu Xunge spent 277 years across repeated cycles learning cooking, gathering Moon Sand, and training with Tulan, while building her skills and preparing to use her God of Gluttony Skill. She and Tulan had twenty-three years left before they could leave.

• Yu Xunge adjusted her cooking for Tulan after learning the dish suited fire dragons better than ice dragons.
• Kitchen Hand taught Yu Xunge Lizhou's recipes, then entrusted her with Lizhou's daily meals; Yu Xunge later killed Kitchen Hand and defected with his recipes.

Yu Xunge reincarnated as four-year-old Feng Ran, the youngest daughter of Feng Tang, during Zelan’s invasion of the Forest Sea. She resolved to stay close to Feng Tang and learn from her, while Feng Mu kept competing with her for their mother’s attention.

• Yu Xunge woke as Feng Ran, an eleventh-level oak owl, and recognized her sisters Feng Cang and Feng Mu.
• Feng Mu took Feng Ran onto her back, and Feng Cang reassured Feng Ran that their eldest sister was not angry with her.
• Yu Xunge learned that Feng Ran’s support-focused talent and high attributes had been shaped by Feng Tang carrying her through battles and leveling.
