Her criticism of the other flagships was overheard by Feixiao and Yun Li, who responded by volunteering their own Xianzhou for the expedition.

The surviving Cloud Knights charged into battle under his command while Fu Xuan protected them, and Chen Li warned her that the Arbiter had a history of rebellious actions.

• Chen Li opened a crack in the looping world and brought Black Swan back to her fortune-telling stall, where she saw Dan Heng beside a dragonkin twin and recovered her memories.

Black Swan’s attempt to read Dan Feng’s memories trapped her in thousands of years of repeating memories until Chen Li rescued her. Her bond with Chen Li reached Lv.10, granting him a Bond Artifact and a Miracle Card, which he immediately tested by making Black Swan’s clingy embrace seem like an accident.

• Black Swan pledged herself to Chen Li, chose the Miracle Card [God Loves the World], and explained that she noticed the illusion because its countless battles never began.
