Bai Yujun and her followers entered a cavern hidden inside a mountain, navigating its chaotic spatial traps toward a hiding place at the heart of a gigantic beast. She left them digging toward the heart and lamented that she would not find a fellow sufferer to share her rotten reputation with.

• Bai Yujun asked the Gray Flood Dragon to lead her to the damaged spiritual energy so she could try to repair it.

• While working, Bai Yujun thought again of the stone and the countless worlds surrounding the Primordial Main World.

Bai Yujun matched the Crystal Ball’s dust to an ancient star chart and began to suspect it depicted the Cosmic Void’s boundary and the routes taken by dragons fleeing the Dragon Court’s destruction. The possible meaning of its lights left her fearing that many of her kin had perished, and she was left remembering the loneliness of being the last dragon.

• Bai Yujun pieced together an incomplete ancient star chart from her Inheritance Memory and compared it with the dust inside the Crystal Ball.
• Bai Yujun found that some of the Crystal Ball’s dust aligned with the star chart and wondered how such a complete map of the Cosmic Void had been made.
• Bai Yujun guessed that the Crystal Ball showed the Primordial Main World, the surrounding worlds, and a boundary at the edge of the void.
• Bai Yujun recognized a bright point as the direction the Dragon Court’s main force had fled and considered whether the lights marked surviving dragon groups or traversable routes.
• Bai Yujun felt weighed down by the possibility that the dim points marked extinct dragon groups and recalled the loneliness of being the last dragon.

Bai Yujun questioned Rong Ru about the phoenix clan’s exploration of the void and learned that its elders were searching in the direction of the Dragon Court’s ancient exile. Rong Ru’s account of mortal slander against dragons and phoenixes then enraged Bai Yujun, who was still cursing the Primordial Main World as the chapter ended.

• Bai Yujun asked Rong Ru how far the phoenix clan had explored the void, and Rong Ru said its elders had searched in one direction for a long time.

• Bai Yujun teleported with Fat Tiger to his familiar mountain forest and told him to cultivate there instead of joining the coming war or undergoing tribulation.
• Fat Tiger transformed into a cat and clung to Bai Yujun as she tried to leave, but tribulation clouds appeared and he leaped onto a boulder to begin his lightning tribulation.

Bai Yujun sent Gray Flood Dragon and Six-Winged toward a distant Great World while Qiao Jin discovered that a captured Dragon Girl was being paraded through Chaoge.
