Ao Run and Ping Ping joined Chaos Hall, where Soul Resonance restored Roman’s strength and gave him their powerful constitutions. The group tried to free Ao Run from the Demon Sealing Array, and Furina’s Smooth-Smooth Fruit finally slipped the chains off, leaving Ao Run able to use his magic again.

Ao Run secured a way to hide her freedom from Ao Guang, while Furina received the Gnosis through surgery and began nurturing the possibility of becoming a Descender. As the Chaos Hall closed, its inhabitants said goodbye and returned to their worlds.

• Ao Run worried that Ao Guang would bind her again, so Herta proposed making imitation Demon Sealing Array chains and Kiana used the Herrscher of Reason Authority fragment to forge them.

Furina completed her Light Vision and brought Focalors out of the mirror, allowing the two Hydro Archons to travel together to the Seven Archons' Gathering. They arrived in Liyue Harbor, where their appearance left Morax stunned and confused.

• Furina used the refined magical-power methods to complete her Light Vision, gaining Light Realm Force and the power to help Focalors change Fontaine's people.
• Furina pulled Focalors out of the mirror, and the two decided to attend the upcoming Seven Archons' Gathering together.
• Furina and Focalors left Palais Mermonia, stunned Fontaine's citizens with their appearance and a dance across the water, then headed for Liyue Harbor.
• Neuvillette found Furina's notice leaving Fontaine's affairs to him while she attended the gathering, and he continued handling the government.
• Zhongli waited alone at the gathering site until Furina and Focalors arrived, and he was bewildered to see two Archons of Fontaine.

Furina, Focalors, and Zhongli traveled to Sumeru after learning that the Akademiya had imprisoned Nahida and drained her power. They freed Nahida from the Sanctuary of Surasthana, where Cyno turned against Azar and Furina left the Grand Sage battered and helpless.

• Morax confirmed through the Ley Lines that the Akademiya had imprisoned Nahida and extracted her divine power, then agreed to travel to Sumeru with Furina and Focalors in disguise.

• Zhongli protected the group from the guards while Furina summoned Hydro creatures that defeated the Thirty-Man Team and the Eremites.
• Cyno brought Azar to the Sanctuary, discovered Nahida imprisoned there, and knelt before her after Azar admitted he had locked her away.
• Nahida awoke and took Furina’s hand as she escaped her cage, and Furina struck Azar with attacks from all seven elements until he lay unable to move.

Furina, Focalors, and Morax freed Nahida and helped her take control of Sumeru, then learned that Greater Lord Rukkhadevata had disappeared while dealing with a lingering problem in Irminsul. Nahida and Furina traveled to Irminsul’s roots to investigate, while Morax worried about whether they could resolve the crisis.

• Furina urged Nahida to execute Azar and the sages who helped imprison her, and Nahida ordered Cyno to arrest and execute those responsible.

• Morax asked about Greater Lord Rukkhadevata, and Nahida explained that she had been imprisoned since becoming conscious and knew little about her predecessor’s disappearance.
• Focalors suggested that Nahida had inherited things from Greater Lord Rukkhadevata, and Nahida recovered the Dendro Gnosis and sensed her connection to Irminsul.
• Nahida concluded that Irminsul still had a problem and took Furina with her to investigate its roots.

Nahida met Greater Lord Rukkhadevata’s lingering consciousness in Irminsul and learned that she had to erase herself to purge Forbidden Knowledge. Furina claimed she could save both Rukkhadevata and Irminsul, then began treating Rukkhadevata’s sleeping body as Nahida watched in hope and Rukkhadevata reacted with disbelief.

• Nahida recognized the mature figure in Irminsul as Greater Lord Rukkhadevata, who explained that Nahida was her reincarnation and a pure branch of Irminsul.
• Greater Lord Rukkhadevata recounted how Forbidden Knowledge contaminated Irminsul and her own existence, leaving self-erasure as the only way to save the world.
• Nahida broke down at the thought of forgetting Greater Lord Rukkhadevata, but Furina insisted she had a way to save her and stop the contamination.
• Furina followed Greater Lord Rukkhadevata’s directions to the tree’s crown and found her body, which Nahida believed had lost its soul.
• Furina told Nahida that Greater Lord Rukkhadevata was still alive and began touching her body, while Nahida hoped the treatment was working and Rukkhadevata became startled by what she sensed.

Furina restored Greater Lord Rukkhadevata by neutralizing the Forbidden Knowledge in her mind, and Rukkhadevata returned to Sumeru, punished Azar and the Akademiya officials, and celebrated Nahida’s freedom. After accepting the Dendro Gnosis, Furina left to find Beelzebul and revealed that she could save her sister, Raiden Makoto.

• Furina used a mysterious Special Material to make the Forbidden Knowledge harmless to Greater Lord Rukkhadevata and Irminsul, then reunited Rukkhadevata’s soul with her body.
• Rukkhadevata learned that the Special Material’s protection would last one year, and Furina promised to provide more while seeking a permanent solution.
• Furina, Nahida, and Rukkhadevata returned to the Sanctuary of Surasthana, where Rukkhadevata discovered how Azar and the Akademiya had imprisoned Nahida.
• Rukkhadevata took Nahida to the dungeon, condemned Azar, the other officials, and their families to death, and ordered Azar’s cellmates to keep beating him while she healed him from fatal injuries.
• Rukkhadevata celebrated Nahida’s freedom and her own return at a banquet, publicly named Nahida as her daughter and successor, and gave Furina the Dendro Gnosis.
• Furina declined to remain for the seven-day gathering and told Rukkhadevata that Raiden Makoto’s soul had not fully perished and that she could save her.

Furina and Focalors set out for Inazuma after learning that Raiden Makoto’s preserved soul might be restored, while Morax declined to join them. When they arrived, the Raiden Shogun detected them as an anomaly and confronted them with Engulfing Lightning.

• Greater Lord Rukkhadevata told Furina she would sentence Grand Sage Azar and his accomplices to death and extend punishment to ten generations of their clans.

• Furina and Focalors departed for Inazuma, ignoring Osial’s plea to free him from Morax’s seal.
• The Raiden Shogun sensed Furina and Focalors entering Inazuma, seized Engulfing Lightning, and confronted them.

Furina defeated the Raiden Shogun, and Raiden Ei emerged from the Plane of Euthymia to learn that her puppet had attacked Fontaine’s Archons because it could not listen. After giving Furina her Gnosis, Ei was about to reject the Seven Archons’ Gathering when Furina revealed that Raiden Makoto’s soul still existed in Inazuma.

• The Raiden Shogun identified Focalors and Furina as anomalies and attacked them, but Furina and Focalors survived her devastating slash.
• Furina seized control of the Electro Elemental Energy and defeated the Raiden Shogun in a clash of swordsmanship and elemental power.
• The Raiden Shogun opened the Plane of Euthymia, where Raiden Ei discovered the battered puppet and learned that Focalors and Furina had come to invite her to the Seven Archons’ Gathering.
• Raiden Ei apologized for the Shogun’s malfunction, gave Furina her Gnosis, and said she would not attend the gathering.
• Furina told Raiden Ei that Raiden Makoto’s soul still existed in Inazuma, leaving Ei stunned.

Raiden Ei found Raiden Makoto’s soul beneath the Sacred Sakura Tree, and Furina stabilized it so Ei could begin building her sister a Divine Puppet body. Meanwhile, Herta 0988 returned to Herta Space Station and discovered that Tingyun had awakened in Ruan Mei’s laboratory.

• Furina told Raiden Ei that Raiden Makoto’s soul remained beneath the Sacred Sakura Tree, and Ei hurried there with Furina, Focalors, and Yae Miko.
• Ei used Musou Isshin to contact Makoto, then brought her sister’s soul into the Plane of Euthymia.
• Furina used Special Material to stabilize Makoto’s soul, which stopped dissipating and transformed the Plane of Euthymia.
• Ei began training Raiden Shogun’s AI and constructing a Divine Puppet body for Makoto from materials she had collected.
• Herta 0988 returned to Herta Space Station and found Tingyun awake in an incubation chamber with Herta and Ruan Mei.

Herta 0988 helped Tingyun recover memories revealing that Phantylia had taken her identity and was infiltrating the Xianzhou Luofu, then left to assist Stelle on Belobog. There, Cocolia embraced the Stellar Core and awakened the enormous Creation Engine against Bronya, the Astral Express crew, and Seele.

• Herta 0988 gave Lady Herta the Curio Spinning Circle to study magical power, and Lady Herta and Ruan Mei used Special Material to help Tingyun recover her memories.
• Tingyun remembered that Phantylia had attacked her, stolen her memories, and impersonated her on the Xianzhou Luofu; Ruan Mei confirmed the impostor was still working there.
• Tingyun asked the geniuses to warn the Xianzhou, and Herta 0988 promised to help contact General Jing Yuan through the Astral Express.
• Stelle messaged Herta 0988 asking for help on Belobog, so Herta 0988 opened a gate and left Herta Space Station.
• Cocolia embraced the Stellar Core in the snowfield and commanded the Creation Engine to awaken, bringing the massive steel giant to its feet before Bronya, the Astral Express crew, and Seele.

Herta 0988 arrived during the battle with Cocolia, helped Stelle awaken the power of Preservation, and defeated the Stellar Core’s attacks. She sealed the Stellar Core and rescued Cocolia, but Cocolia remained brainwashed as Bronya asked whether she could recover.

• Cocolia ordered the Creation Engine to attack Stelle and the others, but Himeko’s orbital strike disabled its right arm.
• Stelle charged the Creation Engine, fell after Cocolia’s ice attacks, and was caught by Herta 0988, who also retrieved the Architect’s Spear.
• Stelle drew the Blaze Lance, gained the power of Preservation, and used the Creation Engine to block Cocolia’s first ice meteor.
• Cocolia sent ten ice meteors toward the snowfield, but Herta 0988 opened an Imaginary Space rift and teleported them into space.
• Herta 0988 seized the Stellar Core, sealed it with a Five Elements Seal, and stopped Stelle’s body from reacting to its attempted detonation.
• Herta 0988 knocked Cocolia unconscious and returned her to Bronya, who asked whether her mother could recover from the brainwashing.

Herta helped Bronya swear Belobog’s fealty to Herta City, then used a planetary climate controller to begin warming Jarilo-VI and clearing threats from the thawing ice. She cured Cocolia’s Stellar Core-induced madness, and Cocolia ended the chapter kneeling in gratitude to Herta.
