Chapter Summaries

Mei, Mobius, and Vill-V used Honkai and Aha’s Elation to overpower the gods and demons of the Myriad Heavens and turn their tribulation into a source of power. Mei reached beyond reality as its author, leaving the remaining gods and demons to choose reincarnation or erasure.

• Mei and the other two unleashed a torrent of Honkai that erased gods and demons and swept along their karmic ties.
• The trio offered worlds greater foundations and opportunities in exchange for recognizing their Honkai, causing their power to grow exponentially.

• Great Powers considered interfering but held back under the heavy gaze of a powerful figure, while some privately grumbled about the Three Pure Ones Hooligan Gang.

Hermes considered whether Mei, Vill-V, and Mobius would attain Dao, then reflected on the dangers of the Primordial World’s many Pangu Great Celestial Venerables and Laojun’s proposed path of Subtraction to Emptiness. The chapter left Hermes rejecting that path because he wanted to nurture what he saw rather than stake everything on one target.

• Hermes refined Nutrient Solution for Buer and decided not to interfere with Mei, Vill-V, and Mobius’s chance to attain Dao.

• Hermes recalled learning from Ancestor Minghe about the many Pangu Great Celestial Venerables in the Primordial World and decided against visiting it.
• Hermes wondered about Laojun’s plan to test Subtraction to Emptiness and concluded that he had rejected the path because he was too greedy to entrust his hopes to a single target.

Luo Qianqiu abandoned her plans to recruit the Primordial Phoenix Clan, while Floze prepared to travel with little Elk and little Binchotan; Chen Nan declared himself the Great Father God of all children.

• Hermes rejected the orthodox path of addition and subtraction because he wanted to keep the beautiful things he loved forever.

While Dragon browsed the group beside Imu, her story about Davy Jones revealed the origin of the Devil Fruit curse, and the group began teasing Dragon about marrying Imu.

• Luo Qianqiu explained how Haji Chen used Civilization’s power and the Great Father God method to strengthen both himself and the children, while Chen Nan pointed out that he was still the weakest Transmigrator beside Luo Qianqiu and Hermes.

• Aozaki Touko, Uesugi Erii, and Hexi teased Dragon about marrying Imu, with Hexi asking to arrange a paid examination of Imu.

Dragon considered marrying Imu after Index and Hermes offered powerful wedding gifts that could transform the Great Voyage World. He declared he would propose to Imu when the opportunity arose, framing the decision as a sacrifice for the greater good.

• Zhang Zhiwei and Lü Dongbin offered rewards if Dragon invited Imu to work with them, while Motoo Aiya joked about becoming a god and evaded Reine Murasame.

• Asuka Kudō teased Dragon for being too shy to seek support from wealthy Imu, while Luo Qianqiu offered him a wisp of Phoenix Divine Fire as a wedding gift.

Luo Qianqiu repeatedly refreshed the Chat Group’s candidate search and selected Haibara Ai, an Awakened from the Conan Science world, and the King of Time and Space, Zhou the Heavenly Emperor. The group members discussed the two candidates’ mysterious worlds, while Luo Qianqiu concluded that Zhou the Heavenly Emperor seemed like a fusion of the Lord of the Restroom and Erlang Shen.

• Shiho Miyano awoke in the laboratory and questioned why the world had restarted despite the plot proceeding as planned.

• Zhou Zhe recalled that he had transmigrated after drinking with friends following college graduation, and worried about managing life without local identity documents.
• Zhou Zhe recognized that he had brought his body with him and saw the words “Southern Heavenly Gate” inscribed on the enormous black gate behind him.

Zhou Zhe received a Ghost Game message warning him about a nearby Anomaly and wondered whether his transmigration and the Southern Heavenly Gate marked him for a dangerous protagonist’s fate. That night, he confronted the Big Gun Society, but the gang boss froze when the door opened.

• Zhou Zhe’s phone displayed a Ghost Game message telling him to stay away from or control the Anomaly behind him.
• Zhou Zhe considered whether he might follow the paths of Klein Moretti, Erlang Shen, or a Cthulhu investigator, but focused on surviving the immediate danger.
• That night, Zhou Zhe reminded the Big Gun Society that he had paid for protection when its members threatened him.
• The Big Gun Society’s boss ordered an underling to open the door, then froze after looking outside.

Zhou Zhe used the Southern Heavenly Gate to destroy the Knocking Anomaly, then discovered that the gate had brought him into a mysterious Chat Group. He tested the group’s power and challenged Haibara Ai’s identity, leaving her startled by the suggestion that she was a character from Detective Conan.

• The Knocking Anomaly killed the Big Gun Society members when they opened the door, but Zhou Zhe survived and refined it with the Southern Heavenly Gate.

• Haibara Ai questioned whether the group’s members were real characters from various anime and other works.
• Zhou Zhe asked Haibara Ai whether she was cosplaying Shiho Miyano, Haibara Ai from Detective Conan, and she reacted with shock before seeming to understand.

• Haibara Ai studied the Astral Express Crew and suspected that the people in front of her were strange, while Welt and Himeko sensed she was hiding something.

• Luo Qianqiu admitted she had been laughing at the newcomers' battle of wits and compared it to Kaguya Shinomiya and Miyuki Shirogane.

Luo Qianqiu and Hermes watched Haibara Ai and Zhou Zhe maneuver through a roundabout exchange before the Chat Group teased Haibara Ai about her age. Hermes then examined the newcomers’ worlds and recognized that Taishan Fujun had attained the Dao through a rite he had once created, leaving Hermes to handle what came next.

• Luo Qianqiu praised Haibara Ai and Zhou Zhe’s clever performances, then playfully mussed Yukino Yukinoshita’s hair.

• Hermes recognized Taishan Fujun as the future result of a projection incarnation he had manifested and a rite he had created for Ichigo Kurosaki.
• Taishan Fujun told Hermes to handle the rest, and Hermes agreed.

Hermes developed the Taishan Fujun Rite as a way to raise Taishan Fujun from Cosmic Truth to the Infinite Multiverse level, but realized the ritual required vastly more offerings than he could safely provide. He suspected Nyarko had arranged events to use his plans for her own purpose.

• Hermes considered how his future attainment of the Dao affected Taishan Fujun and concluded the rite could still create room for a higher-level ascension.
• Hermes formed the sacred character for [Sacrifice] and determined that the rite needed offerings to bring Taishan Fujun into being.

• Polka Kakami reminded Hermes that he had tasked her with coordinating the Universal Galaxy, the Aeons’ aesthetics, and several major organizations.

• Polka Kakami split into several copies to carry out the errands and began making tea with extraordinary skill.
• Hermes recognized her use of One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones, and Polka Kakami explained that she perceived everything as the numbers -1, 0, and 1.

Hermes offered Polka Kakami the chance to become a Star Master, revealing that the Star Lord System could guide her natural growth without forcibly distorting her thoughts. Polka understood what the transformation would mean but remained deeply conflicted, and the chapter ended before she answered.

• Hermes reflected on Polka Kakami's extraordinary genius and judged her philosophy to be her own rather than an extension of Lord of Wisdom's ideas.
