The young man accepted the system’s quests to rescue Bronya, Kiana, and Raiden Mei, defeat the Third Herrscher, and befriend Yae Sakura before escaping Changkong City. After locating the girls on the system’s map and gathering supplies, he was caught off guard by a Tank-class Honkai Beast.

• The young man sent Yae Sakura away, then fought nearby Mortals and Honkai Beasts for Honkai Energy and learned that stronger enemies had followed Yae Sakura and three other people.
• The system offered the young man a conquest quest involving Yae Sakura, and he chose to open the quest list and accept the available tasks.

• The young man searched abandoned shops for food and water, filled two bags, and learned that the system had storage space that did not consume Honkai Energy.
• As the young man put his supplies into storage, a Tank-class Honkai Beast leaped at him, forcing him to choose between fighting and saving himself.

A young man rushed through Changkong City to rescue Bronya, Kiana, and Raiden Mei, gaining a new time-slowing skill as the Third Herrscher’s awakening drew near. He reached the trio as Mei began resisting the voice urging her to embrace the Herrscher’s power.

• The young man clawed apart a Chariot-type Honkai Beast, then rejected the system’s suggested familiars and stored a Ganesha egg to hatch later.
• The system announced that a food bag had reached Bronya, Kiana, and Raiden Mei, bringing Mission One’s progress to 50/100.

The young man used the system’s authority to suppress the Third Herrscher and collect Honkai Energy and Herrscher Experience from defeated enemies. After learning his new Herrscher rank and hearing about Yae Sakura’s strength, he prepared to meet her again in two days.

• The system intimidated the Third Herrscher, ordered her to stand down, and told her to wait two days before appearing again.
• The system killed half the dead apostles and Honkai Beasts with a lightning strike, leaving Honkai Energy and crystals for the young man to collect.

• The young man insisted he would win Yae Sakura over, and the system mocked his chances.

The young man learned that his Herrscher Experience was much harder to accumulate than he expected and discovered that his active title had drawn Yae Sakura toward him. With Xiao Yun’s help, he gained new abilities and began to outpace Yae Sakura, though a mirror gave her a view of him.

• The system told the young man he had 89% Beginner Herrscher Experience, but each point beyond 90% required far more experience than before.
• Xiao Yun offered the names Xiao Ning and Xiao Chen, and the system warned that Yae Sakura was approaching because the young man’s title had attracted her.
• The young man deactivated his second title, but a Honkai: Crush attacked; he and Xiao Yun fled while Yae Sakura followed at a fixed distance.
• Xiao Yun explained that her Stigmata abilities came from water and taught him how to acquire Wind of Serenity and Shield of Serenity.
• The young man recited the words Xiao Yun had taught him and accelerated away, but a mirror reflected his image into Yae Sakura’s eyes.

Feng Chen defeated Honkai: Crush and learned Hua’s martial arts, but Jizou Mitama ambushed him and proved too strong for his Time Fracture. Xiao Yun took control of his body and counterattacked with Upper Clarity techniques and Death Force Breaks the Sea.

• Feng Chen noticed that Yae Sakura’s marker had vanished, and Jizou Mitama appeared and wounded him with a fast crossed slash.
• The system identified Jizou Mitama as the remnant consciousness of the Herrscher of Erosion within the Twelfth Divine Key, and warned that Time Fracture could barely affect it.
• Xiao Yun took over Feng Chen’s body, deflected Jizou Mitama’s katana, and attacked with Upper Clarity techniques and Death Force Breaks the Sea.

Feng Chen drew the Shadow Knight: Moonblade armor and used it to battle Jizou Mitama, briefly overpowering her and locating the black box that could seal her. Jizou Mitama broke through Time Fracture, leaving Feng Chen critically injured and just short of reaching the box.

• The system rewarded Feng Chen with ten mixed draws, which granted him Shadow Knight: Moonblade and Judas' Embrace of Blood as Jizou Mitama attacked.
• Feng Chen activated Shadow Knight: Moonblade and battered Jizou Mitama with Death Force Breaks the Sea, shattering her shield and breaking her body apart.
• Feng Chen followed the armor's projected martial arts techniques and struck Jizou Mitama with Upper Clarity and Inch Punch: Heaven Splitter, leaving her with only one arm.
• The system told Feng Chen that a black box in the ruins could seal Jizou Mitama, and he flew toward it as she attacked him with falling stones.

• Feng Chen fell to the ground with his fingers only a few centimeters from the black box.

Feng Chen entered the World in the Box—Sakura Cycle and witnessed Yae Sakura being forced to kill her younger sister, Rin. Years later, Sakura rescued an injured silver-haired girl carrying the black box, but the system warned Feng Chen that the memory was collapsing and ordered him to escape.

• Feng Chen awoke in a small boat without the system or Xiao Yun responding, then found an item slot containing several objects from his inventory.
• Feng Chen heard villagers discuss the Yae family and saw masked villagers force Yae Sakura to kill her sister, Yae Rin.

• The system warned Feng Chen that the memory was about to collapse and instructed him to leave by the small boat as Yae Sakura of Changkong City began to awaken.

After escaping the black box, Feng Chen admitted to Yae Sakura that he was a Herrscher, and she revealed she had known from their first meeting. They rested together and discussed his powers, leaving Feng Chen wondering what Herrschers meant to people in this world as Yae Sakura called him a good person.

• Feng Chen and Yae Sakura recovered after the battle, and the system reported that he had completed 66% of Task Four by obtaining his name.

• Yae Sakura drew her katana, and the Third Herrscher sensed a threat for the first time in Changkong City.

Feng Chen and Yae Sakura fought the Third Herrscher, who absorbed nearby Honkai Energy and nearly reached Two-Core strength. After Kiana began absorbing Honkai Energy too, Feng Chen stopped her and assured Sakura that the Third Herrscher would survive if Sakura fought at full strength, leaving the Herrscher unable to fight for a while.

• The Third Herrscher learned to counter Yae Sakura's Dimensional Slashes, but Feng Chen interrupted her and was left with both arms numb.
• Yae Sakura wounded the Third Herrscher and disrupted the Honkai Energy inside her, but the Third Herrscher absorbed energy from Honkai Beasts and dead soldiers, growing stronger and developing lightning wings.

• Yae Sakura drew her sakura-colored Katana and used a decisive sheathing strike that disrupted the Third Herrscher's Honkai Energy, leaving her unable to fight temporarily.

After the Third Herrscher took control of Mei, she tried to seize Yae Sakura’s body and then used Kiana as a hostage. Kiana tore off part of the Herrscher’s wing, triggering a destructive surge that left her and Yae lost in the dust as Bronya chose to stay with Feng Chen and Sakura.

• The Third Herrscher seized Feng Chen and Yae Sakura with lightning, but Sakura summoned Jizou Mitama to free them.
• The Third Herrscher targeted Jizou Mitama’s Divine Key, giving Feng Chen and Sakura a chance to surround her.

• Yae Sakura found Feng Chen outside her house and urged him to leave, but he refused and promised to deal with the Herrscher of Erosion.

Feng Chen tested Blood Knight: Moonbeam in Sakura Cycle, learned more about its abilities, and received instruction from Xiao Yun on Sword of Serenity. He ended by discovering the armor’s Execution Mode and its bizarre activation phrase.

• Feng Chen told Yae Sakura that the figures in Sakura Cycle could not see him and promised to help her, while the system estimated the cycle would last about a month.
• Feng Chen used the Cross to equip Blood Knight: Moonbeam and learned that its blades specialized in fast attacks, especially against the dead.
• Xiao Yun explained Sword of Serenity, and Feng Chen quickly learned its basic principles before she returned to the Stigmata.
• Feng Chen tested Moonbeam’s attack and discovered that its charge took three minutes and forty-nine seconds because he lacked practice.
• Feng Chen activated Execution Mode, collapsed under the weight of Judas' Embrace of Blood, and learned to wield the cross by smashing enemies or reciting, 'Teriri is the cutest in the world.'

Feng Chen tested Blood's Embrace and fought a Temple-class Honkai Beast, using the weapon and the system's guidance to survive despite the strength gap. He severed the beast's left paw, which was holding his cross, but the beast remained a threat.

• Feng Chen activated Blood's Embrace by praising Teriri three times and saw its blood-red blades unfold.
• After a Temple-class Honkai Beast and several wolf-shaped Honkai Beasts appeared, Feng Chen ran into the forest to confront them, and Yae Sakura followed after finding he had left.

• Feng Chen cut his hand and used the system's calculated route to evade the bear-shaped Honkai Beast while trying to strike its leg with his short blade.
• The bear-shaped Honkai Beast grabbed Feng Chen's cross, and its unfolding blades severed the beast's left paw.

Feng Chen survived his battle with the bear-shaped Honkai Beast, but his body entered suspended animation after taking too much damage. While Yae Sakura worked to revive him, Xiao Yun began harsh training inside the Stigmata Space.

• The bear-shaped Honkai Beast struck Feng Chen with the cross, fracturing his ribs, and he threw a short blade into its severed paw.

• Feng Chen fought Xiao Yun using Shadow Knight: Moonblade techniques, but she blocked or deflected his attacks and repeatedly ordered him to try again.

Feng Chen discovered a possible ability while fighting Xiao Yun, whose unleashed Bloodfall overwhelmed him and left her consciousness in danger. As Honkai watched over Xiao Yun and Feng Chen recovered in the Stigmata Space, he struggled to reproduce his ability and argued with Honkai about her appearance and a revealing maid outfit.

• Feng Chen caught Xiao Yun's sword and used a short blade as his apparent ability made her weapon dissipate, but the effect soon vanished.
• Xiao Yun activated Bloodfall and attacked Feng Chen with blood swords, eventually making him collapse after he tasted blood from her sword.
• Honkai entered the Stigmata Space and used Honkai Energy to stabilize Feng Chen and protect Xiao Yun's endangered consciousness.
• After nearly a month, Feng Chen recovered enough to practice his ability, but he could not reproduce the earlier effect.
