Fu Qian investigated Selena’s growing merger with the Realm of the Dead, then uncovered Nepheli’s role in the storm and used the lighthouse lens to disrupt it. He returned to real Moore with an Artificial Eye and brought Laurie’s group to Selena’s lodging, where he confirmed their connection to the Rebirth Club.

• Fu Qian followed the old man to the slaughterhouse and learned that the Realm of the Dead reflected people caught in Moore’s storm, while Selena risked becoming truly dead by merging with it.
• Fu Qian met Selena at the docks, revealed that Laurie was his alias and his real name was A'wei, then joined her in questioning the Death Master’s followers at the Caravan Bureau.
• Fu Qian used Gospel Blast on Laurie, Brother Shulan, and another follower, releasing three bone-adorned birds that he linked to the Greedy Worms’ ritual and a chain of twenty-two bone rings.
• Fu Qian left Selena a report predicting the storm’s end and traveled to Moore’s lighthouse, where he tricked the keeper into leading him to Nepheli.
• Nepheli explained that she had inherited the expedition team’s regret and used the place as a mirror to examine herself, then vanished when the storm continued past its predicted end.

• Fu Qian removed an Artificial Eye from the lens and returned to real Moore, where he saw Lord Solondir by the slaughterhouse and later led Laurie’s group to Selena’s lodging.
• Laurie said the group had come to honor their agreement with An Jing, and Fu Qian recognized their response to the residence as confirmation of their connection to the Rebirth Club.

Fu Qian pursued the source of the facility’s strange laws through shifting versions of Etched Wisdom, confronting the Chief Judge and helping a Thinker reconstruct a hidden calculation. He exposed the researchers’ shadow experiments and triggered a blaze of the Ancient Sun God’s power, which threatened to destroy Etched Wisdom.

• Fu Qian told Laurie and the Greedy Worms that Selena was the Ancient Angel, then urged them to pose as Rebirth Club members and leave before their plan around Ji Yin was exposed.
• Fu Qian concluded that Ji Yin had left Maul deliberately and explained that An Jing’s people had been placed to die in a scheme that could disrupt Solondir’s investigation.
• Fu Qian left Moore aboard Ji Yin’s surveillance ship and entered a research facility through a strange reflection, where a golden-browed attendant directed him to patrol with a specially made weapon.
• Fu Qian’s attack on a hidden entity drew out a Fallen Angel, and the creature trapped him under its judgment before Fu Qian disrupted the sentence with Eternal Clarity of Thought and watched the facility disappear.
• Fu Qian navigated another version of the institution and entered the Backrooms to retrieve a researcher’s lost notes, where he found a deranged Thinker beside the Twelve-faced Hourglass.
• Fu Qian helped the Thinker build a connected Brain Jellyfish calculation matrix, allowing him to confirm the fall point before Fu Qian reached a clean endpoint and heard the melody linked to Kalaodola’s flesh.
• Fu Qian challenged the Behind-the-Gate People’s account of the missing notes and learned that researchers used the lighthouse and shadows in their tests, then revealed that he had dismantled the lighthouse’s core.
• Fu Qian sent Law Remnants through the researchers’ spying channels, prompting a fanatic to invoke the Unseeable Wheel and unleash the Ancient Sun God’s blazing light, which began burning the facility and threatening Etched Wisdom.

After another reset of Etched Wisdom, Fu Qian recruited A Fei and guided him through the facility’s researchers, Ragdolls, and Sun Apostle. Their advance brought them to Wisdom Creator, whose confrontation left A Fei fighting a counterpart that became corporeal as he turned into a shadow.

• Fu Qian survived Etched Wisdom’s third reset with his losses intact and suspected Rainbow of Yao Bian had engineered the academy expedition’s discovery of the Sea of Ashes.
• Fu Qian armed a cleaner candidate, named him A Fei, and guided him through the facility with weapons carrying the Calamity Blessing.
• A Fei killed puppet-controlled researchers and Ragdolls, then frightened the remaining Ragdolls into fleeing.
• A Fei shattered the Sun Apostle’s eyes, briefly attacked Fu Qian after being healed, and ultimately killed the Sun Apostle when his appeal for divine help went unanswered.
• Fu Qian found Behind-the-Gate Person’s notebook repeating that the starting point and ending point were the same, then confronted him after he declared himself the new Creator, the Weaver of Wisdom.
• Wisdom Creator overwhelmed A Fei with a network of brains and knowledge, but Fu Qian marked him with Calamity and enabled A Fei to break his barrier and destroy his body.
• Wisdom Creator reassembled himself, drew the Brain Jellyfish into his skull, and confronted A Fei with an intangible counterpart that became corporeal while A Fei became a shadow.
• Fu Qian glimpsed a shadowed King of Prison Break and maintained that A Fei would win after Wisdom Creator explained that Absolute Correct One reflected the originals’ existence and inner nature.

• As the lake and whale broke apart, Fu Qian joined with the Crystalline Tyrant and killed Lord Rom and his smaller copies.
• The collapse revealed Moore in the Storm and the Holy Infant Disaster Star, as blood-red crystals carried Blood Order from the star and Fu Qian tore apart his Tyrant Armor.
• Fu Qian theorized that the ancient storm had corrupted and reshaped Higher Beings, and considered whether they sought the Sea of Mind.
• Fu Qian confirmed his Sanity Value no longer fell, wrote “Crystal is transcendent corruption” as the fifth act, and revealed his Mythical Form as King of Prison Break.
