After leaving the Beaver Duke, Yu Xunge learned that the Burial Ground’s second phase had begun and that Mountain Players were hunting marked Star Sea players.

• The Beaver Duke refused to let Yu Xunge read Qihua’s fairy tale until Yu Xunge became a deity.
• Yu Xunge and B80 found the Burial Ground’s fog gone and a mark above Yu Xunge that let Mountain Players locate Star Sea players.

• Yu Xunge learned that no one she knew had transferred, and admitted she could not accept the Star Sea’s collapse even as she respected players who chose to leave with their kin.
• Yu Xunge calculated that Mountain Players might already have assembled two Order Badges and reconsidered whether the badges determined which deities could fill places in the Final Battle.

Realizing she might be able to summon a powerful boss from an earlier stage of its life, she considered how this could help her conquer Star Sea.

• Star Sea Maple Sugar and Tingzhou Qiulu rushed back to protect their Mountains counterparts, but found Yu Xunge attacking Mountains Maple Sugar while trapping Mountains Frost Deer in a storm of lightning and Flower Birds.

• Yu Xunge received a notification crediting her with the kill and realized that Load Game could alter a player's state when timelines were swapped back.
• Yu Xunge reasoned that Mountains Wildfire might have appeared later than Mountains Xunge in the Undead Wildfire timeline, and considered summoning a boss in its younger stage to speed through Star Sea.

Yu Xunge teamed up with Star Sea Xianchan, Star Sea Qiu Lu, Star Sea Mistblade, and Star Sea Maple Sugar to hunt Mountain Players as Mountains accelerated the Order Clock.
