After the Card Swap game, Yu Xunge received the Moon Postman title and major rewards, then learned that the gods had only guided Zhuri to pass through Kaladom rather than arranging her fate. Zaijiu regained its Arbiter and received broad blessings, while Yu Xunge chose several skills and prepared to select a Magic Element to transform her attributes.
