Chapter Summaries

Yu Xunge obtained an S-rank skill and explored the cruise ship’s shop, where she saw goods themed around the fallen Forest Sea.

• Yu Xunge chose option D in the Godly Game and obtained the S-rank skill Flower Kill.
• Yu Xunge searched for a tier-seven player and explored the cruise ship’s first-floor shop, finding personality tags, skills, and a unique Fuzhi Race Flower Branch.
• Maple Sugar asked Yu Xunge whether she would have preferred Song Gui or Maple Sugar as Oak Owl’s leader in the High Tower.

Yu Xunge received Little Fragrant Branch’s strong game results and learned that Zhuri’s world was Zai Jiu, before the next round of invasions began. Several players selected Zai Jiu’s key players as targets, including Yu Xunge.

• Yu Xunge provoked Maple Sugar, then won another flag-planting duel and advanced the invasion progress of Lighthouse and Fuqing by 20%.

• Tiger Ear Que Que, Zelan Fengtang, Zichuan Taoyou, Mai Mang Songsong, and Dawn Cicada each marked a Zai Jiu key player as a target for the game.

After completing Lighthouse’s first invasion, Yu Xunge accepted honor points instead of choosing a target, but Isolated Island Zhuri chose her as a target and could transform and transfer her if she reached the top ten. As Yu Xunge continued her plans, she learned Little Seahorse had returned to Zai Jiu, prompting Mistblade and Song Gui to send guards after her.

• Lighthouse completed its first invasion of Lingcha, and Yu Xunge chose 100,000 honor points instead of selecting a target player.

• Yu Xunge heard Song Gui complain to Maple Sugar about possibly becoming a member of the Yuguo Race, while Xie Xie and Mai Mang Songsong argued over choosing each other as targets.

• Mistblade sent a hamster to follow Little Seahorse, and Song Gui ordered someone to guard Four Seasons City with a mecha.

After annexing Fuqing, Zai Jiu Xunge drew an Overlord-tier reward that unlocked two Godly Skills, then learned from Mistblade how War Skills and World Skills were acquired and what they meant for the Godly Game. Mistblade recognized Yu Xunge’s fear of being forced into responsibility and wondered what she would do now that she knew the skills existed, especially since she had not yet invaded another world.

• Zhuri’s sprite confronted her about Yu Xunge’s question concerning her Key Player’s personality tags, and Huang Jin pointed out that Zhuri was arguing with her other self.

Yu Xunge wrestled with the moral cost of war and the danger facing Zai Jiu, realizing that neither winning nor losing the Wager offered lasting safety. As she used [Who Will Cut The Moonlight] on a shattered moon, [Furious Moon] and [Cat's Ideal] appeared beside her while warnings said she was being watched.

• Yu Xunge reflected on Zhuri Sprite's words, her childhood idealism, and how war had made death and suffering impossible to dismiss as mere leveling and loot.
• She considered whether she would become a suffering leader like Mistblade and recognized that she had never asked whether ordinary players or children wanted to fight or leave their homeland.
• Yu Xunge concluded that Zai Jiu faced war whether she won the Wager or joined Zelan, and questioned whether she could invade other worlds without sacrificing her conscience.

• [Cat's Ideal] circled Yu Xunge as repeated warnings declared that she was being watched, and she chose not to evade the two Godly Relics.

Yu Xunge spent the night watching [Furious Moon] absorb moonlit Star Smoke, using [Who Will Cut The Moonlight] and Time Stop while the noise and Golden Rain kept nearby players awake.

• Little Tulan tried to comfort Yu Xunge by declaring that Maple Sugar was more embarrassed, while Maple Sugar fell silent.

Yu Xunge continued invading worlds while watching the moon, and Mistblade explained how she would aid Zai Jiu when Zelan descended. After the game, Lighthouse placed ninth and Yu Xunge received a new skill, but she remained confused about the moon and asked Little Fragrant Branch if it was Qihua.

• Yu Xunge used the Golden Rain Curtain to track players and watched the moon as the War Cruise Ship approached the next world dock.
• Mistblade promised to help Yu Xunge pursue first place and protect Zai Jiu when Zelan descended, but said she would retreat with Moon Fox if her world skill broke.

• B80 explained that Dawn Cicada had the strongest and most numerous War Skills among World Lords, while Mistblade told Maple Sugar she was willing to gamble on her.

Yu Xunge survived the first days of the Godly Game, uncovered clues about the River of Time and Four Seasons City, and appointed Little Fragrant Branch world leader after drawing an Abyss-tier reward. On the fourth day, she faced Dawn Cicada in the Gladiator Arena, where their friends gathered to watch.

• Mistblade, Song Gui, Xie Xie, Fat Goose, Kufu, Maple Sugar, and Tulan appeared around the arena to watch Yu Xunge and Dawn Cicada fight.

Yu Xunge learned that Dawn Cicada’s War Skill could reset her and Zai Jiu’s people, then left the War Cruise Ship to take the broken moon from the World Dock. After eating it and restoring a golden bullet by acting against her instincts, she absorbed the moon’s power and woke to find Zai Jiu’s people gathered around her.

• Dawn Cicada used War Skill-Re-registration to reset Yu Xunge and Zai Jiu’s people to their initial levels and remove their God-Bestowed Talents for one minute, but Yu Xunge quickly restored her attributes with lightning.

• Yu Xunge left the War Cruise Ship, touched the broken moon above the World Dock, and used Flower of Deceit to turn it into a golden apple and take it aboard.
• Yu Xunge realized that defying her instinct to return Tulan to Dragon Island had restored the golden bullet Ignorance, then pressed Ignorant Game to her temple and fired into an empty chamber, restoring the attribute point she had lost.
• After Yu Xunge ate the golden apple, Furious Moon flew into her lantern and released moonlit star smoke into it; she absorbed the power for about five minutes before waking beside Tulan.
• Song Gui, Maple Sugar, Mistblade, Fat Goose, and Xie Xie surrounded Yu Xunge as she woke, while Dawn Cicada watched Mistblade in shock at how completely she had fitted in with Zai Jiu.

Yu Xunge fell asleep after taking Brilliance’s moon and experienced the lives and civilization of the Firecolor Race, then woke aboard the War Cruise Ship with a World Sigh within her. She learned from Zai Jiu that the sigh held a world’s memories and that Brilliance could still be reshaped, with a new moon born to witness its beginning.

• Yu Xunge asked Zai Jiu about the World Sigh and learned it contained a world’s regrets and memories that it was unwilling to forget.
• Zai Jiu explained that Brilliance could still be reshaped and that a new moon would be born to witness its new beginning.

• Tingzhou Qiulu told Yu Xunge that [Ignorant Game] granted new bullets when she accomplished something that held every god’s gaze for a long time.

Yu Xunge traded for Tingzhou Qiulu’s [Delicious Funeral] and considered how to protect the golden apple from players watching her on the War Cruise Ship. She ended the chapter looking for a way to anchor herself in the shifting River of Time, but the ship’s automatic cleaning reset her Array.

• Yu Xunge and Tingzhou Qiulu discussed how new Bullets were obtained, then Tingzhou Qiulu gave her [Delicious Funeral] to inspect.

• During the rest period, Yu Xunge noticed players watching her and realized they might try to steal the golden apple.
• Yu Xunge tried to draw an Array in her room to anchor herself, but the ship reset it as a stain, leaving her to reconsider her plans.

• Yu Xunge summoned the Cat Ship, boarded it, and sailed away from the War Cruise Ship, voluntarily withdrawing from the Godly Game.

Zai Jiu Xunge’s withdrawal from the Godly Game led players aboard the War Cruise Ship to argue over whether she had run away. Their debate ended when her Ice Dragon returned, suggesting she had not abandoned the game.

• Zhao Shuying watched Tulan patrol the skies over Zai Jiu, roaring to remind others of the Arbiter’s judgment.
• Calico heard Tulan’s roar, gathered snacks, and hurried to the Cat’s Ideal to help Yu Xunge.
• Yu Xunge gave Calico access to move the Cat’s Ideal through the River of Time and asked her to guard it during Yu Xunge’s deep sleeps.
• Yu Xunge told Calico and B80 to take shifts watching over the ship, then ate a golden apple and entered another world.
• Yu Xunge experienced life as a Sky Crab in Hippy, where crabs ran shops and businesses, before Merfolk caught her on her first day ashore and put her in a cauldron.

Yu Xunge realized the World Sighs wanted her to preserve the histories and civilizations of vanished worlds, so she began recording what she knew about Brilliance. Meanwhile, Maple Sugar, Song Gui, and Tao Mian watched the River of Time for Yu Xunge’s ship and understood why Rage Prayer feared learning what Forest Sea regretted.

• Yu Xunge connected the worlds’ sighs to their desire to preserve the histories and civilizations lost when worlds shattered.

• The three Oak Owls recalled eating the moon left by Forest Sea and understood that Rage Prayer feared discovering whether Brilliance had regretted his failure in the war against Game Invasion.

Yu Xunge recorded the Oak Owls’ customs and life in the Forest Sea as a first-person account, discovering that writing about the world of “Brilliance” illuminated her soul fire. A glittering particle from the world fell into its outline, brightening the path ahead, though she did not yet know what the reward would bring.

• Yu Xunge recounted how Oak Owls lived and worked across the Forest Sea, including their dueling customs, tailoring trade, and efforts to plan the forests.

Yudun asked Qihua whether she had known that the girl would become extraordinary, and Qihua explained that [Cat's Ideal] approaching her had convinced her to claim the girl for Fragrant Branch. A Fragrant Branch narrator then recalled life in Lighthouse, ending with the realization that the world’s beauty as a “lighthouse” came from Fragrant Branch dying in battle.
