• Yu Xunge returned to the Starting Room to repair her painting and agreed to let L visit her.
• L told Yu Xunge it had fixed the Mechanical Race members’ programs so they would no longer avoid her, but could not make L obey it.
• After B explained that Y Model robots had the strongest combat talents, L offered to modify Y128’s program, and Yu Xunge refused to change its preferences or manufacture its loyalty.

Yu Xunge revised her painting to reflect Eternal Winter, transforming it into a new Player Relic, then went to Trading District 621 to find L. There, she discovered a game had taken her relic and made recovering it a condition for joining the Battle Royale.

• Yu Xunge refused to let 7777 rewrite Y128's programming, and 7777 praised her answer; Tulan invited 7777 to visit her home.

• The game announced that Yu Xunge had to find the Mechanical Race member holding her relic and reclaim it within twenty minutes to keep her Battle Royale eligibility.

Yu Xunge searched the Trading Area for L, Y128, and her missing Player Relic, then discovered that Y128 was conscious during Time Stop and had come seeking revenge. Y128 confirmed that Yu Xunge’s relic was inside its case, which players could touch only after meeting the Mechanical Race’s demands.

• Yu Xunge activated Time Stop and searched the Mechanical Race members, finding L with a violin and Y128 with a metal case but not finding her painting-turned-ring.
• Yu Xunge realized that Y128 could perceive her during Time Stop and offered to work together in the final match.

• As chaos spread through the Trading Area, Yu Xunge asked whether her Player Relic was in Y128’s case, and Y128 confirmed it was.

• Y128 demanded that Yu Xunge kill L in exchange for Zai Jiu Xunge’s Player Relic, and Yu Xunge used [Beyond the Program] and [Story's End] to rename and kill Y128.
• Yu Xunge retrieved the gemstone ring containing the Player Relic, and L came over while explaining that it had not yet returned its player’s relic.
• Y128 resurrected and asked Yu Xunge why she had attacked it, and she said she wanted to remove potential trouble and had acted as a victorious winner, not out of guilt.
• Yu Xunge invited Y128 to enter the Battle Royale with her and proposed a contract and a safeguard from B to prevent betrayal.
• Yu Xunge told Y128 that hatred and pain could ignite Soul Fire, and Y128 agreed to join her.

• Yu Xunge wrote a contract with Y128, protected it against modification and outside skills, and both signed it.
• Yu Xunge explained that she had chosen Y128 because it was the best combat partner, but said L was her fallback because the Mechanical Race could enable the game to continue.
• Yu Xunge and Y128 found L crying because Dawn Spring Guest had pulled off its antenna and used it to tie up runaway flower branches.
• Y128 pushed between Yu Xunge and L and angrily asked where its own antenna was and what it had been used for.

Yu Xunge helped L and Y128 choose new antennas before the third-stage Battle Royale began. The game placed her and Y128 in control of opposite sides of a Mechanical Race member, leaving her to face a deadly hunt in an unfamiliar control mode.

• Yu Xunge showed Y128 the Perfect Artifact [Lonely Antenna Baby], and Y128 complained that its name did not include its own name.
• Yu Xunge laid out materials and used [Refurbish] to let L and Y128 choose new antennas, while Tulan and B80 watched.
• After the two robots happily settled on flowers for their heads, the game began and Yu Xunge and Y128 were placed on a grassland map as miniature players.
• The Battle Royale rules introduced hunters, map mergers, resource boxes, and restrictions on equipment and items.
• Yu Xunge realized that her movements controlled the left side of a large Mechanical Race member while Y128 controlled its right side, and she feared the hunters might be gods and demons she had offended.

Zhuri and Huang Jin prepared to enter the Godly Game, where players of Isolated Island had to kill the Mechanical Race to delay an invasion. In the first round, Yu Xunge and Y128 faced descending hunters, and revelations about invasion progress turned the battlefield into a larger threat.

• Zhuri admitted to Huang Jin that she felt somewhat guilty about the world barrier opening, though neither regretted seeking the truth about their world.
• The Godly Game rules required players to kill every Mechanical Race member within three hours, then fight any survivors in a final battle to delay Isolated Island's invasion.
• Yu Xunge and Y128 began the game sharing control of one body, with Y128 controlling more of its movements and decisions.
• Yu Xunge recognized Asagi and Bern among the descending hunters, then fled with Y128 and asked whether Y128 knew Isolated Island; Y128 refused to answer.
• An announcement reported that Asagi killed Huang Yan · Wu Ke, raising Jianqi's invasion progress by two percent, while Dawn Cicada killed Jianqi Huben and raised Dawn's progress against Zelan by 0.1 percent.

As player deaths revealed how kills affected invasion progress between worlds, Yu Xunge realized that her wager could only delay Zaijiu’s defeat while Dawn continued its invasion through Zelan. She joined Y128 in hunting other players and summoned Zhuri, who could not see her, as Y128 prepared to fight on her behalf.

• Players worked out that kills generally advanced invasions according to the Invasion Sequence, while special conditions could reduce progress or impose a 2% penalty on a dead player’s world.
• Yu Xunge understood that Dawn could bypass her wager by shattering Zelan and continuing its invasion of Zaijiu, leaving her wager as only a temporary reprieve.
• Y128 told Yu Xunge that killing players could earn it freedom, a choice of settlement world, and eventually the gods’ kindling of its Soul Fire.
• Y128 revealed that it had chosen Yu Xunge partly because its calculations identified her Sunset Cantata as one of the best Player Relics, then used Zhuri Moment to summon the Zhuri Sprite.
• Yu Xunge warned Y128 that the summoned player might be a hunter, and Y128 explained that the Sprite would have the original’s memories but would not share senses with her.
• The Zhuri Sprite appeared, could not see Yu Xunge, and asked Y128 where she was; Y128 claimed it was Yu Xunge’s Game Agent and would fight for her.
