• Guard 0000 ordered all units to withdraw except the Guard Fifth Regiment and Guard Fifteenth Regiment, which were to deploy Virus Bombs into the atmosphere.

• The Guard Fifth Regiment launched Virus Bombs at the Glen People’s planet and watched them turn its atmosphere yellow and black.
• After the flames subsided, the guards bombarded the planet with Atmosphere Incineration Bombs, leaving it barren.

• Xina observed the lives of her kin, including Himeko, Kiana, and the others relaxing by the beach, when a hazy white gleam connected with her consciousness.
• The mysterious presence apologized to Xina Nash for being distracted by beautiful memories and said it spent its time preserving new light.

• The Pale Light Shadow identified the captive as the Emissary of Joy.

Xina questioned whether Sparkle was an Emanator, while the Pale Light Shadow explained that Sparkle was only an Aeon's walker. After Sparkle introduced herself as a Masked Fool seeking joy, Xina wondered whether outsiders had discovered the galaxy-wide party she and her Vassals held within the Cluster Consciousness.

• Xina considered whether Sparkle had allowed herself to be captured and whether Emanators and Aeons could rival her power.
• The Pale Light Shadow said Sparkle was not an Emanator but an Aeon's walker who had come to test Xina.

• Sparkle watched the collision through a telescope and celebrated seeing Emanator-level powerhouses clash, while the Pale Light Shadow considered fleeing.

Xina met Foehn Wind, one of the seven Lords under Nanook, after he asked whether she had caused a vast black hole rift. She tried to leave after learning who he was, but Foehn Wind stopped her and invited her to follow the Destruction Path with him.

• Sparkle gave Xina a Universe Hearing Aid so she could understand the flame-shaped Foehn Wind.
• Foehn Wind asked Xina whether she had created the black hole rift, and Xina blamed the collapsed stars on a natural phenomenon after she drained most of their energy.

• Xina judged Foehn Wind to be her equal in strength and tried to leave rather than get involved with him.
• Foehn Wind called Xina back and asked her to walk the Destruction Path with him.

Foehn Wind tried to recruit Xina into the Destruction, but she questioned the job’s benefits, dangers, and leadership. After hearing his answers, Xina decided she could not accept and began composing a tactful refusal.

• Foehn Wind urged Xina to join the Destruction, fascinated by her strength without Path energy.
• Xina asked what benefits the Destruction offered and whether its work was dangerous or its leader easygoing.
• Foehn Wind said serving Nanook was its own reward and admitted that Zhu Luo had died on duty.
• Xina concluded the job was too dangerous and unrewarding, then prepared to refuse Foehn Wind.

Xina was approached by Zhu Yan, an Apostle of Abundance bearing the Merciful Apothecary King’s divine oracle, just as Foehn Wind was trying to recruit her. When Foehn Wind attacked Zhu Yan, Xina stepped aside to watch whether Abundance could protect her.

• Zhu Yan arrived aboard a whale-like space creature and offered to introduce Xina to the Merciful Apothecary King.
• Xina asked Sparkle who the Apothecary King was, and Sparkle urged her to seek Abundance’s blessings.

• Xina retreated instead of intervening, while Zhu Yan spread her arms, invoked the Apothecary’s mercy, and closed her eyes.

Yaoshi rescued Xina from the Bountiful Apostle and revealed that Xina was destined to become Her Emanator in every timeline. Xina questioned why she had been chosen, and Yaoshi declared her the Eternal God Chosen.
