Chapter Summaries

Little Griseo rejected changing the system that filtered world coordinates to familiar worlds, preferring to keep exploring stories and worlds she already knew. Miss Ark accepted the decision and continued carrying out Little Griseo’s instructions.

• Miss Ark explained that the coordinate system selected only familiar worlds and asked whether they should change its filters.
• Little Griseo refused to include unfamiliar worlds because she wanted to visit places with plots, people, and things she recognized.

• Little Griseo decided to take Miss Sansan and Little Cocoon to meet this world's World Will and Cocoon of Finality, hoping familiar faces would make persuasion easier.

• The Previous Era residents had gained some self-defense abilities through a combat system based on Honkai, while Dr. Mei and Mobius remained occupied with their research.

Little Griseo explained how the Old World could build a combat system by using Contribution Points to improve Honkai Energy adaptability and resistance. She expected the system to develop through research, existing methods, or exchanges with other worlds, while the Cocoon of Finality now mainly converted the Ark’s Imaginary Energy into Honkai Energy.

Mobius and the others considered whether to exchange their Contribution Points for Herrscher cores, while Little Griseo left Mobius free to pursue her own research. With the Ark able to travel freely between worlds, the former civilization’s people visited current-civilization cities or sought out Honkai-corrupted areas for combat practice.
