Yu Sheng reunited with Eileen, Fox Girl, and Luna inside the Shattered Tower and learned that the Crossroads was under attack. Following his instinct, he sent Eileen ahead with a fragment of the Omen Goddess’s limb, and the tower’s broken spacetime began to reorganize, ending at a vast rift that blocked their path.

• Yu Sheng encountered a mental echo of Eileen beside a faint bonfire and realized she had been communicating with the Boundary Bridge.
• The spider-limb fragment connected Eileen to Yu Sheng, allowing her to summon Fox Girl and Luna to his platform.

• Yu Sheng gave Eileen the spider-limb fragment and told her to follow her instincts through the tower because she had traveled the path before.
• As Eileen led the group onward, the tower’s spacetime began reorganizing around her steps, until she reached a huge rift blocking the way ahead.

Yu Sheng and his companions crossed the World Bridge to the ruined mountaintop where the Omen Goddess had departed, and discovered that her corpse was rotting into the corruption spreading through the worlds. The corpse’s remains rejected them and sent waves of corrupted memories and creatures against the group, whose battle had only begun.

• Huli tested the rift with a fox tail, which returned safely, and Yu Sheng led the group through the World Bridge.
• Yu Sheng recognized the destination as the ruined temple from his visions and explained that the bridge connected to wherever it had last opened.
• A barrier fell away, revealing the Omen Goddess’s blackened remains, and Yu Sheng realized their decay had produced the shadows infecting other places.
• Yu Sheng sensed that the ruins were rejecting the group as shadows spread from the corpse and attacked.
• Huli’s foxfire drones and Luna fought off the first wave, but the fragments flowed back to the corpse and began to reform.

Yu Sheng realized that the boundary bridge was a second Dark Angel, still operating and trying to revive the Omen Goddess. He rode Huli’s tails toward the mechanism hidden inside the Othergod’s corpse to find a way to shut it down.

• Yu Sheng found that the Zolda Black Stone’s core grew warm as his blood revealed information about the Omen Goddess and the boundary bridge.
• Huli’s Fox Carrot Missiles cracked the Othergod’s remains, exposing an enormous Ancient Mechanism inside.
• Yu Sheng concluded that the boundary bridge was a living Dark Angel that had kept trying to restore the Omen Goddess after she merged with Eileen.
• Yu Sheng decided to reach the mechanism and attempt to shut it down while Eileen, Huli, Luna, and the dolls defended the platform.
• Huli sent Yu Sheng toward the corpse on her tails, guarded by White Cut and Salt Baked, while the battle continued around the platform.

Yu Sheng crossed the temple ruins under attack from the shadows and the god corpse’s black lightning, until a pure-white dragon arrived and rescued him. The dragon carried him toward the high platform, where her frantic attempts to adjust her landing left Yu Sheng sensing that something was wrong.

• Yu Sheng flew toward the Ancient Mechanism as the shadows noticed him and attacked with rising limbs and black rifts.
• White Cut, Salt Baked, and the Fox Tails fought off the shadows and shielded Yu Sheng while the high platform provided fire support.
• The god corpse unleashed a barrage of black lightning that destroyed the remaining Fox Tails and threatened Yu Sheng.
• A pure-white dragon arrived and used crystalline breath to suppress the god corpse’s rifts, but scarlet eyes appeared across its body and attacked Yu Sheng and the dragon.
• The dragon caught Yu Sheng on her back and escaped the worst of the danger, then hurried toward the high platform and repeatedly adjusted her landing.

Yu Sheng and his companions discovered that the white dragon who crashed beside the platform was Baili Qing, an ancient species from the Crossroads’ Classical Era. As the group fought the shadows spilling from the temple ruins, Yu Sheng gave Baili Qing his blood to help her resist the Omen Goddess’s mental contamination, and the connection took effect instantly.

• Yu Sheng leaped from the falling dragon and rode a celestial bird to safety as the dragon crashed beside the platform.
• Eileen, Huli, and Luna survived the impact, and Yu Sheng recognized the white dragon as Baili Qing by her voice.
• Baili Qing explained that she was an ancient species whose kind had survived the end of the Classical Era as fragments in the new world.
• Yu Sheng explained that the Omen Goddess’s remains and an Ancient Mechanism lay beneath the temple ruins, and that he needed to reach the mechanism to affect the Boundary Bridge.
• Baili Qing revealed that she carried anti-Omen Goddess crystals but could not approach the remains because of their mental contamination.
• Yu Sheng had Luna cut his arm and offered Baili Qing his blood; Baili Qing drank it, and the blood connection activated immediately.

Yu Sheng, Eileen, and Baili Qing charged through the shadow tide toward the Ancient Mechanism, with Baili Qing’s crystal breath disrupting the forming rifts and a vision shielding her from the corpse’s mental contamination. Yu Sheng and Eileen landed beside the World Bridge, where Yu Sheng approached its nearest pillar as crimson eyes opened around him.

• Yu Sheng agreed to let Eileen join the second charge, and Baili Qing flew him toward the divine corpse with Huli, White Cut, and Salt Baked providing cover.
• Baili Qing blasted the shadow tide with anti-Eileen crystals, disrupting the forming rifts as the group neared the divine corpse.
• The corpse’s crimson eyes attacked their minds, but a vision of a blonde female Knight punching Baili Qing in the nose brought the dragon back to reality.
• Baili Qing dove toward the Ancient Mechanism, and Yu Sheng jumped with Eileen through the opening Huli’s tail bombs had made.
• Yu Sheng landed beside the World Bridge and approached its nearest pillar as crimson eyes appeared across the surrounding remains.

Yu Sheng touched a pillar connected to the Boundary Bridge and entered a vast vision of its inner mechanisms, where a golden-haired doll pleaded with him not to destroy it. As the Bridge’s collapse slowed and blood spread across the Shattered Tower, Yu Sheng encountered the figure responsible for the plea.

• Yu Sheng approached the pillars as scarlet eyes watched him, then touched one and heard a warning to go to the ark and not look back.
• Yu Sheng was pulled into darkness, where a faint voice begged him not to destroy the Boundary Bridge.
• The Shattered Tower stopped growing above Boundary City, and the shadows dripping from the Boundary Bridge diminished.
• Rapunzel and Bone Gnawing Immortal watched the halted invasion as blood mist gathered over Old Town.
• Mo Ran saw blood-red cracks spread across the Shattered Tower, drawing blood mist upward, while Yun Qingzi recognized the process.
• Yu Sheng saw the Boundary Bridge’s immense mechanisms and met a golden-haired doll who apologized for breaking it and said she could not repair it.

Yu Sheng helped the little doll in the World Bridge understand death, allowing her to rest and wake as Eileen. The World Bridge vanished and The Crossroads began to recover, while Yu Sheng and Eileen planned to reunite with Huli and the others before going home.

• Yu Sheng realized the World Bridge and the Omen Goddess had been trapped in a cycle of trying to repair and awaken each other because neither understood death.
• Yu Sheng explained death to the petite doll, who smiled, fell asleep, and was surrounded by his spreading blood mist.
• The World Bridge disappeared from The Crossroads, the space-time rifts closed, and the damaged great shield began repairing itself.
• Song Cheng asked Baili Qing about Yu Sheng and the Angel Fallen, but Baili Qing said the situation remained uncertain and she could not contact Big Sister.
• Bone Gnawing Immortal saw the exhausted fairy tale members after the blood mist dissipated and decided she never wanted to return to The Crossroads.
• The doll awoke as Eileen, curled up in Yu Sheng's arms, and said she wanted to stay alive and go home with him.

After defeating the God Corpse of Omen and dismantling the Boundary Bridge, Yu Sheng and his companions searched the ruined temple for remaining dangers and clues. Eileen recalled fragments of her past, and the group found a shattered golden-haired doll beside the ashes.

• Yu Sheng emerged with Eileen and found Huli, the surviving mass-produced dolls, Luna, and the wounded Baili Qing waiting on the platform.
• Yu Sheng confirmed that the final fragment of the Omen Goddess had died and the Boundary Bridge had been dismantled, while warning that the truth behind it remained unresolved.

• The group searched the temple ruins while Eileen recalled fragments of worshippers dancing and offering her food in the past.
• Huli spotted wreckage near the black ash, and Yu Sheng found a shattered golden-haired doll that Eileen recognized as herself.

• The Ancient Mechanism and its surrounding pillars disintegrated, and Yu Sheng absorbed the resulting red dust.

After the Boundary Bridge incident, Yu Sheng and the others witnessed the Black Star appear above the temple ruins and debated whether Yuan Hao’s account of entering it was true. As the group left, Yu Sheng stayed behind to bring the collapsing space fragment back to the valley, dying as it began to transform.

• Yu Sheng admitted to Eileen that he had eaten the Boundary Bridge’s control mechanism, while Luna recorded the exchange and Baili Qing’s dragon features began to fade.
• A vortex opened above the ruins and revealed the Black Star, prompting Yu Sheng to conclude that the temple Yuan Hao had seen inside it was only a projection.
• Eileen recognized the name Kong Daman but could not recover the memory, and the Black Star vanished before Yu Sheng could connect with it.
• Baili Qing promised that the Special Operations Bureau would investigate reports of the Black Star, and Yu Sheng opened a door home for the others.
• Eileen worried the temple fragment would disappear without the Boundary Bridge, so Yu Sheng sent the others home and stayed to weld the fragment into the valley.
• Yu Sheng died, and the temple’s space fragment began collapsing and reassembling as it sailed toward the valley.

After the crisis ended, Little Red Riding Hood and the others returned to Fairy Tale Town and began reviewing their supplies and battle injuries. Their celebration was interrupted when a breach opened in the sky, revealing an ancient mountain realm that Xiao Xiao recognized as a local specialty brought back by Big Brother.

• The city’s defenses settled and its residents began returning to normal as the returning fighters withdrew to their bases.
• Little Red Riding Hood checked supplies and injuries, noting that several companions had conserved medicine and that the squads needed to improve their coordination.

Yu Sheng installed a connection to the Ominous Omen Temple atop Rapunzel’s tower, then thanked and blood-granted the evil cultivators who had helped dismantle the Boundary Bridge. He was left watching Luo, the captured Black Dot warlord, while the Special Operations Bureau dealt with Boundary City’s aftermath.

• Yu Sheng connected the Ominous Omen Temple to the valley at the top of Rapunzel’s tower, and Rapunzel and King joked about its ominous appearance.

After the Boundary Bridge disaster, Yu Sheng told Luo that her damaged space station had become part of him and was being repaired, then left her to rest in Fairy Tale Town. Back home, he found Eileen alone on the roof, quietly watching the evening sky and smiling as she remembered the changing seasons.

• Yu Sheng arranged for Luo to stay in town and explained that he had assimilated her space station, which was now in the Feather Star Domain for repairs.

• Eileen remembered stories about the seasons and smiled while hugging her frying pan.

Yu Sheng and Eileen arranged for Marin to try professionally repairing Eileen’s recovered original body. At the Special Operations Bureau, Yu Sheng discovered Baili Xue was secretly impersonating her sister Baili Qing while the real Baili Qing stayed home because she could not hide her horns.

• Eileen climbed back into the attic through a ventilation window, got stuck, and told Yu Sheng she had recovered her original body from Huli’s tail.
• Yu Sheng proposed asking Marin to use Alice’s Cabin’s professional equipment to repair Eileen’s body instead of relying on crude alchemy.
• Yu Sheng took Eileen and Huli to the Special Operations Bureau cafeteria, where Huli eagerly devoured the food while he called Marin.
• Marin agreed to try repairing Eileen’s ancient body and arranged for Marys to pick them up.
• Baili Xue appeared disguised as Baili Qing and told Yu Sheng she was secretly handling her sister’s work because Baili Qing’s horns were stuck and could not be concealed.

Yu Sheng and Baili Xue checked that Eileen showed no lingering pollution from the Omen Goddess, while Baili Qing learned that Yu Sheng’s blood-bestowal had affected both her and her hallucination. Baili Qing tried to sleep but could not get comfortable with her dragon horns, and an unfamiliar notification from the Otherworld Inn Database appeared on her phone.

• Baili Xue visited Yu Sheng and Eileen, confirmed Eileen showed no signs of pollution, and told Yu Sheng that Maris was waiting at Special Operations Bureau headquarters.

• Baili Qing unlocked her phone and saw a notification from the Otherworld Inn Database.

Yu Sheng and the others traveled from Boundary City through its deserted outskirts and a spacetime jump point to the floating island where the Alice Embassy stood. They arrived at the mansion and were greeted by the Alice envoy Malin.

• Marys drove Yu Sheng, Huli, Luna, and the excited Eileen through the Otherworld shortcut and the abandoned outer district of Boundary City.
• Marys explained that the deserted district concealed a monitored society of nonhuman entities, while Eileen listened to her stories about Alice dolls frightening outsiders for fun.
• The group crossed the isolation belt into the wilderness beyond the city, where Yu Sheng saw Special Operations Bureau outposts, unstable roads, and resettlement settlements.
• Marys drove toward a spacetime jump point, and the car crossed into a region of floating islands to reach the Alice Embassy.
• Yu Sheng and the others got out at the mansion, where the Alice envoy Malin welcomed them.

Yu Sheng and his companions brought Eileen’s shattered original vessel to Miss Marlene’s mansion, where Marlene repaired it using nanomachines. Eileen’s restored body remained unresponsive when she tried to transfer her consciousness into it.

• Yu Sheng and his companions saw that the mansion’s roof had been damaged when it collided with a neighboring castle during an emergency evasion.
• Miss Marlene led the group to the Doll Printing Room and examined the fragments of Eileen’s original vessel.
• Miss Marlene said she could reconstruct the vessel and that restoring it would help Eileen recover her Alice Key and reconnect to the Garden Network.
• Miss Marlene and Maris used the printing device and nanomachines to rebuild Eileen’s body, including its missing structures and Alice Key.
• Eileen tried to transfer her consciousness into the restored vessel, but it did not respond.

Yu Sheng and the others revived Eileen in her original blonde doll body, but it repeatedly fell apart because its joints would not hold together. Eileen asked Yu Sheng to try improvised alchemy, and Luna suddenly stabbed him in the arm as he prepared.

• Yu Sheng suggested bringing Eileen’s oil painting to the platform, and the group propped it beside her blonde shell with a crate of canned peaches.
• Eileen, Yu Sheng, Huli, and Luna improvised a revival ritual with candles, oil, spices, and a bow, and the shell awakened successfully.
• Eileen opened her eyes, recognized Yu Sheng by poking his nostril, and found that her original body was stiff and cracking.
• Luna caught Eileen as the body came apart at its joints, but Eileen’s head and limbs remained animated and she blamed Marlene’s nanomachines for not being sticky.
• Eileen asked Yu Sheng to try improvised alchemy, and Luna charged forward and stabbed him in the arm.

• Marlene and Marys watched as Yu Sheng used blood, clay, and other materials to repair Eileen’s limbs, while Eileen’s detached parts kept moving and talking.
• Yu Sheng restored Eileen’s limbs and face, then reattached her head to her body.
• Eileen regained control of her body, fell while taking her first step, and then practiced walking until she adjusted to her new height and movement.
• Eileen compared her height with Huli and Luna, then realized she was still the shortest person in the household.
• Marlene recommended checking Eileen’s stability, confirming whether the Alice Key had been reconstructed, and reconnecting her to the Garden Network; Eileen eagerly agreed.

Marin began a postoperative examination of Eileen with Maris as the analysis host, but the examination took an unexpected turn when Yu Sheng revealed he had plastered over Eileen's Panflow port. After Eileen connected by holding the data cable in her mouth and the examination began, Marin later learned that Maris had detected an abnormality in Eileen's mental-operation efficiency.

• Marin prepared to examine Eileen and explained that Maris needed to serve as the analysis host because Eileen had been disconnected from the Garden Network for too long.
• Marin discovered that Eileen's Panflow port was missing, and Yu Sheng admitted he had plastered over it; Eileen and her smaller body pounced on him in anger.
• Eileen connected to Maris's examination system by putting the data cable in her mouth, and Marin began the examination after confirming the connection worked.
• Yu Sheng, Huli, and Marin waited in the next room while Marin told Yu Sheng about the Alice dolls' activities across the universe and their mission to address supernatural problems.
• Marin received word from Maris that something was wrong with Eileen: her mental operations were functioning with abnormal efficiency.

Marlene discovered that a vast, ancient Anomaly data structure had been sealed inside Eileen’s mind for at least 3,700 years, possibly since her attempted fusion with the Omen Goddess. Although it appeared harmless, Marlene warned against altering it, and Yu Sheng learned that restoring Eileen’s original body to her doll network might ease the mental strain.

• Marlene showed Yu Sheng the red, unparseable data structure inside Eileen’s mind and explained that it was slowing her mental processing.
• Yu Sheng recalled Eileen’s final log describing a huge, harmless set of special data she had asked to preserve before fusing with the Omen Goddess.
• Marlene concluded that the data had likely been deliberately constructed and cautioned everyone not to tamper with it because it might be connected to Eileen’s altered mental structure and the Omen Goddess.
• Marlene explained that integrating Eileen’s original body into her distributed doll network could improve its efficiency and reduce the relative burden of the Anomaly data.
• Yu Sheng remembered that Eileen had felt sharper after gaining more mass-produced bodies and wondered whether the additional bodies had increased her computing power.

Yu Sheng and Marlin discussed Eileen’s mysterious Anomaly data and agreed to keep investigating while telling her the truth. As Eileen left the examination platform, she suddenly shrank to about 66.6 centimeters, leaving everyone baffled.

• Yu Sheng learned that making mass-produced bodies seemed to ease Eileen’s mental pressure, while Marlin said the Anomaly data was sealed and Marys would add another safety barrier before Eileen connected to the Garden Network.
• Marlin promised to keep analyzing the data and seek help through the Garden Network, and Yu Sheng decided Eileen should be told about the mystery.
• Yu Sheng, Marlin, Huli, and Luna returned to the Doll Printing Room, where Eileen eagerly told Yu Sheng about her tour of the Garden Network.
• As Eileen stepped down from the platform to join Yu Sheng, her body rapidly shrank until she was about 66.6 centimeters tall.
• Eileen clung to Yu Sheng’s leg in alarm, and Yu Sheng and the others were left unable to explain the sudden change.
