• Yu Xunge rushed toward the island, confident she could recognize Zhuri.

• Yu Xunge and her companions circled the iceberg, but none of the capybaras responded to her calls for Zhuri.
• Yu Xunge reasoned that the capybaras might retain their teachers’ skills and decided to test the idea by pushing one toward the sea.

• Boundless said Yu Xunge would not blame Zhuri for remaining unidentified, prompting Flower Deceiver and the Orchid Mantis to say they did not know her well.

• Yu Xunge told the Orchid Mantis that Zhuri would not make the game easier for her and that helping the apprentices had been worthwhile because the game was fun.
• Yu Xunge left the bridge after objecting to being called arrogant, then spent two more hours fishing and recovered another upgrade to her Blue-Spotted Grouper trait by defeating the anglers' alliance.
• At three o'clock, Yu Xunge received the Bet Everything invitation, which risked a temporary teammate's Soul Fire and Skill comprehension if the apprentice failed to identify it while hunted by a level-100 Canglong.
• Most apprentices resumed moving, believing their important companions would not accept the risk, but Yu Xunge stayed in place because she expected Zhuri to agree.
• Yu Xunge wondered whether Zhuri would take the same risk if a different apprentice were playing.

Zhuri and Yu Xunge both accepted the Bet Everything game, in which Yu Xunge had to face a level 100 Canglong to protect Zhuri’s Soul Fire. As the Canglong descended, Yu Xunge prepared to fight, believing she would try to restore Zhuri’s Soul Fire if she failed.

• A notification announced that Zhuri had agreed to the game and that the Canglong would enter the sea in five minutes.
• Zhuri told Zhuguang she could not guarantee Yu Xunge’s victory but was willing to bet everything on her, prompting Zhuguang to recall a moment that revealed Zhuri’s tenderness toward an injured butterfly.
• Zhuri said Yu Xunge would participate, and Yu Xunge confirmed it by leaping from the sea as a Blue-Spotted Grouper.
• Zhuri told Zhuguang she would be disappointed and punish Yu Xunge if she failed, then explained that Yu Xunge would work to restore her Soul Fire and ask to remain her apprentice.
• Yu Xunge told Fogblade and Fat Goose she would first find a way to restore Zhuri’s Soul Fire if she failed, and added that Zhuri would bear half the responsibility.
• The Canglong descended along a waterspout as Yu Xunge left her companions to face the game.

• Tian Huhaoqi asked Aihao whether Zhuri’s promise to make her Xunge’s mentor still counted, and Aihao said it would if Tian Huhaoqi could defeat Zhuri.
• Yu Xunge prepared escape routes and sent Blue-Spotted Grouper to search the seabed for Soul Fire as Canglong approached.

• Yu Xunge used the Shadow World to evade Canglong, searched for Soul Fire, and lured Canglong toward other apprentices.
• Yu Xunge found a cracked ball of ice on the seabed and recognized the Moon Crown frozen inside it as Zhuri’s Soul Fire.

• Yu Xunge found Zhuri Moment’s Soul Fire, won the game, and triggered the opening of Tian Huhaoqi.
• Zhuri Moment saw that Yu Xunge had changed, while Yu Xunge remembered her identity as Zai Jiu Xunge and received an opportunity to return home temporarily.
• Yu Xunge chose to return to Zai Jiu, apologized to Zhuri Moment, and vanished before Zhuri Moment or the two Tian Huhaoqis could stop her.

B warned Yu Zhaohai that Zelan had made a costly, planned invasion and that leaders above level 100 would begin arriving by sunset the next day. As Dinghai prepared to face the threat without Yu Xunge, B and Tulan told the players about her achievements and fame on the mysterious battlefield.

• B told Yu Zhaohai that Zelan had sacrificed living forces to open a passage, with its leaders expected to descend one by one starting the next sunset.

• Tulan charged Rayan and said she was willing to die in battle for Yu Xunge in Zai Jiu.

Yu Xunge returned to Zaijiu during the battle and confronted the level-fourteen Rayan, turning the tide as Zaijiu announced a powerful upgrade for its players. She retained the rewards from both Godly Games but still struggled against Rayan because she lacked a weapon.

• Yu Xunge appeared on the battlefield, caught Rayan’s axe before it could strike Tulan, and kicked Tulan out of the fight.
• Yu Xunge activated Arrogance of Sin and fought Rayan in the air, intercepting his skills as Zaijiu players cheered her return.
• Zaijiu announced that the Jiu-Human Race’s lower-ranked God-Bestowed Talents would evolve and granted every Zaijiu player 30 free attribute points.
• B, Liang Yuchuan, and Yu Zhaohai heard the announcement on Battlefield Three, while Zhao Shuying welcomed the prospect of surviving long enough to write more reports on Battlefield Two.
• Yu Xunge realized that her Astralana rewards had carried over to Zaijiu, including her preserved traits and skills, but she remained at a disadvantage against Rayan because she had no weapon.

Yu Xunge received Tulan as the World-Class weapon Her Dragon and used its power to regain the advantage against Rayan. After unleashing a barrage of attacks, she blocked healing skills for both of them and prepared to kill him.

• Tulan left the ground battle to become a weapon for Yu Xunge, and the Moment of Truth rune awakened as Yu Xunge accepted her.
• Tulan transformed into the Ice Soul Dagger Her Dragon, granting Yu Xunge a powerful weapon and new skills.
• Yu Xunge restored her practiced Zhuri and Aihao skills, then used Waste Guide to build up buffs before attacking Rayan.

• Rayan realized from Yu Xunge's gaze that he might not leave the battlefield alive.

• Zelan Rayan declared that Zaijiu would shatter before Yu Xunge killed him, triggering a truce and a reward that let Zaijiu devour part of the Minotaur race's fortune.
• Yu Xunge used her champion reward to copy Mirror Goose's skill That Was Close, We Nearly Got Wiped Out and raised seawater to revive nearby Zaijiu dead as sprites.
• Yu Xunge left to revive the remaining heroic spirits later and flew to War Zone Three, where B had been holding back the alien army with help from Liang Yuchuan and Yu Zhaohai.
• Yu Xunge unleashed Eternal Winter across the alien army, forcing its members to retreat and ending the immediate threat to the exhausted defenders.
• B asked Yu Xunge whether it had done well, and she praised it while joking that she would mourn it for seven years if it sacrificed itself.

Yu Xunge revived the fallen Heroic Spirits across all three War Zones while the alien armies retreated during a ceasefire. With the next leader due in fifty minutes, she obtained a clone skill and leather armor so she could defend every battlefield at once.
