Chen Li brought Rhinedottir to face a Proxy Duel, while Furina learned that his Miraculous Items accounted for most of his strength. Rhinedottir persuaded more than a hundred thousand criminals to challenge him under a contract that banned his Miraculous Items, and the battle was about to begin.

• Chen Li threatened Rhinedottir, but she requested a Proxy Duel and he scheduled it for three hours later.
• Rhinedottir offered Furina cakes and learned that Chen Li relied heavily on Miraculous Items and a Miraculous Item to borrow others’ abilities.
• Chen Li entered the Opikilai Opera House, where more than a hundred thousand criminals had gathered to fight for their freedom.
• Rhinedottir urged the crowd to attack Chen Li together and proposed that he fight without Miraculous Items.
• Chen Li agreed to Rhinedottir’s terms through the Covenant Gold Coin, with the survivors allowed to leave and surrender permitted; Rhinedottir believed victory was assured.

Rhinedottir unleashed over a hundred thousand Abundance Fiends against Chen Li, but Chen Li overwhelmed them and claimed victory in their wager. He spared Rhinedottir after she surrendered, then gathered the fiends’ souls as she warned that he had not truly won.

• Rhinedottir transformed over a hundred thousand people into Abundance Fiends and challenged Chen Li to fight them.
• Chen Li’s overwhelming power terrified Rhinedottir, who tried to surrender, but a cake sealed her mouth and Chen Li used her as a weapon to slaughter the fiends.
• Chen Li advanced his Wish Machine Miracle Card to Stage Two, then destroyed the remaining wailing fiends after Holy Grail urged him to reflect on their suffering.
• Holy Grail gave Chen Li golden and silver cleavers, and Chen Li subdued it before Rhinedottir stopped pretending to be unconscious and surrendered.
• Chen Li spared Rhinedottir to honor his promise to Neuvillette and Fontaine’s laws, then used the Peaceful Longbow to draw the fiends’ souls into its Wicked Souls space.
• Rhinedottir warned Chen Li not to think he had won just because of this.

Chen Li exposed Rhinedottir’s attempted bluff, brought Surt in to stab her, and then put her on trial. Rhinedottir tried to save herself by offering ways to expand the Power of Abundance, but her proposal to turn Teyvat into a living planet enraged the Cloudy Five and made her punishment seem even more certain.

• Rhinedottir argued that Chen Li had violated their contract by using the Cake Thrower, but Chen Li claimed the item had not defeated her and reminded her that Miraculous Items did not affect a Miraculous Forger.
• Rhinedottir threatened Chen Li with the other Great Sinners, especially Surt, so Chen Li summoned Surt, who stabbed her before standing behind Chen Li.
• Rhinedottir begged Chen Li to let her become a good person and offered her alchemy expertise, but Chen Li brought her before a tribunal led by Fu Xuan.
• Rhinedottir proposed using the Power of Abundance to create enhanced creatures, biological warships, and a living Teyvat, prompting Blade to lunge at her and Fu Xuan to call for harsher measures.

Rhinedottir proposed exploiting the Abundance’s ability to mutate different races, but the tribunal sentenced her to imprisonment on the Luofu Xianzhou for her crimes. Chen Li then separated the Archon of Life from Rhinedottir, leaving Rhinedottir facing execution as she demanded to know how her plan had already been proven feasible.

• Rhinedottir outlined a scheme to bless races with the Power of Abundance, harvest the resulting fruits, and profit from their expansion across planets.
• Fu Xuan, Jingliu, Jing Yuan, and the others decided Rhinedottir was too valuable to kill and sentenced her to imprisonment on the Luofu Xianzhou.
• Chen Li accused Rhinedottir of causing the deaths of over a hundred thousand suspects, and Neuvillette recorded the claim in the court records.
• Fu Xuan called on the Reignbow Arbiter to kill Rhinedottir, but Chen Li caught the arrow and argued that the Archon of Life was innocent.
• Chen Li split the Archon of Life from Rhinedottir; the Archon of Life identified herself, and Rhinedottir then demanded to know why her plan had no practical value.
• Chen Li told Rhinedottir that her plan was feasible and had already been proven in practice.

Chen Li forced Rhinedottir to research how the Path of Abundance could transform Teyvat, then repeatedly sent her back to revise her work. Rhinedottir eventually fled Blade by spying through an alchemical device, while Chen Li let the chaos continue.

• Chen Li introduced Rhinedottir to several victims of Abundance and assigned her to design a self-improving ecosystem for Teyvat using the Path of Abundance.
• Chen Li confined Rhinedottir in Fate Invitation Space, where she researched the plan while time outside remained frozen.
• Rhinedottir returned with her research, but Chen Li sent her back repeatedly to change the formatting and revise the plan for new variables and Paths.
• Blade attacked Rhinedottir after she offered to create someone for him, and Jing Yuan stopped holding him back.
• Rhinedottir hid in Fate Invitation Space and used an alchemical surveillance device to peek through the door, avoiding Blade's waiting sword strike.

Chen Li sent Rhinedottir back to the Invitation Space, then announced a dungeon-based punishment for Fontaine’s Sinners. He later tried to separate Naberius from Rhinedottir, but Naberius refused, and Ronova appeared when Chen Li summoned her.

• Chen Li ordered Rhinedottir to copy the Teyvat Abundance Plan backward and adjusted the Invitation Space’s time flow to keep her from interrupting him.
• Chen Li announced that Fontaine’s Sinners could avoid execution by clearing four dungeons in New Penacony, and Neuvillette worried that none might return.
• Chen Li told Neuvillette to blame Rhinedottir if the wanderers failed to return, then offered to sever Naberius’s connection to Rhinedottir.
• Naberius refused because she did not want to return to work as the Archon of Life and asked Chen Li to address her as Rhinedottir.
• Chen Li summoned Ronova, who rebuked Naberius for lacking responsibility, and Naberius answered with a cold laugh.

Chen Li released Ronova from her Poké Ball, but Naberius ended up capturing herself inside it and taking over Ronova’s belongings. Chen Li insisted Ronova had been corrupted and sent her back to Sky Island to work, giving her a Friends Circle Terminal so they could stay in touch.

• Ronova explained how the Poké Ball had catered to her demands, and Chen Li released her because they had become friends.
• Naberius apologized to Ronova, then got captured by the Poké Ball and refused to let Ronova back in.
• Ronova asked Chen Li to release Naberius, but Chen Li refused because Naberius’s loyalty and abilities were useful.
• Naberius briefly emerged to return Ronova’s clothes, then went back into the Poké Ball.
• Chen Li insisted Ronova had been corrupted and told her to return to Sky Island and work; Ronova agreed.
• Chen Li gave Ronova a Friends Circle Terminal, and she asked if they could keep in touch.

Chen Li secured Ronova’s agreement to join a vote on revising Teyvat’s rules, then let Furina meet Naberius. As Fontaine prepared a proxy duel, Chen Li challenged Champion Duelist Clorinde to find any way to defeat him, and she accepted three days to prepare.

• Chen Li told Ronova she would be notified when the Seven Archons voted on revising Teyvat’s rules, and Ronova accepted a Friends Circle Terminal before returning to Sky Island.
• Furina asked to meet Naberius, and Chen Li summoned her from the Poké Ball; Naberius rejected Furina’s request to release her.
• Furina introduced Clorinde as Fontaine’s strongest Champion Duelist and announced that the proxy duel grounds were ready.
• Chen Li revealed that he would be Clorinde’s opponent and offered to send her to New Penacony for training, though he warned she would still lose.
• Chen Li gave Clorinde three days to prepare and allowed any kind of contest, including rock-paper-scissors and esports; Clorinde agreed, thinking of a tabletop game.

Chen Li gave Clorinde evidence identifying Marcel as the culprit behind the serial missing girls case, then ordered Surt to capture the other Five Great Sinners of Khaenri'ah. He sent Scylla to confront Venti, but Zhongli returned and took the Slap Gloves himself to greet the Anemo Archon.

• Chen Li told Clorinde that Marcel had led the serial missing girls case and gave her records of his crimes and a Resurrection Card link.
• Chen Li suggested that Clorinde revive Marcel and make him witness the consequences of his crimes before killing him again.
• Chen Li ordered Surt to capture the other Five Great Sinners, and Surt agreed after Chen Li took away Scylla's Tiger Talisman and restored her to normal.
• Scylla recognized Venti from a photograph, and Chen Li told her to use the Slap Gloves on him because Venti was Barbatos.
• Zhongli returned, took the Slap Gloves from Scylla, and prepared to greet Venti himself.

Zhongli accidentally crushed Barbatos with the Ta Dragon King Ruo, then tricked him into signing away control of Mondstadt through a Covenant Gold Coin contract. Barbatos realized he had lost his nation and begged Zhongli and Chen Li to undo the deal, but neither would help.

• Zhongli sent the Ta Dragon King Ruo through a black hole, where it ran over Barbatos at Windrise.
• Zhongli recognized Barbatos, helped him up, and accepted his offer to entrust Mondstadt to him in exchange for wine.
• Chen Li supplied the wine, and Zhongli used a Covenant Gold Coin to form a binding contract that transferred control of Mondstadt to him.
• Zhongli announced that the Liyue Qixing would replace Mondstadt's Anemo Archon Statue with a Geo Archon Statue.
• After Chen Li explained the contract and Zhongli's Conservative Faction nature, Barbatos pleaded with Zhongli and Chen Li to return Mondstadt, but both refused.

Zhongli returned Mondstadt’s governance rights after securing Barbatos’s promises, and Chen Li used his request to make Barbatos stop blaming them for Dragonspine Mountains’ destruction. The Reignbow Arbiter’s power had already fixed the mountain’s destruction as inevitable, and Chen Li revealed that a frozen beast inside it had drawn The Hunt’s attention.

• Zhongli made Barbatos agree to abstain from alcohol for seven days, support him in votes among the Seven, and stop forging his signature before returning Mondstadt’s governance rights.
• Zhongli invited Barbatos to New Penacony, while Chen Li said he had originally wanted Barbatos’s support in the Seven’s vote.
• Chen Li changed his request and asked Barbatos to stop holding Dragonspine Mountains’ destruction against them.
• The Reignbow Arbiter fired a light arrow, and Barbatos sensed that Dragonspine Mountains’ destruction had become inevitable despite his authority over time.
• Chen Li explained that The Hunt targeted Abundance Fiends, then revealed that a beast frozen inside Dragonspine Mountains had drawn its attention.

Chen Li and Venti prepared to evacuate Dragonspine’s survivors before the Reignbow Arbiter destroyed the mountains, where Rhinedottir’s experiments had created the beginnings of Abundance Fiends. Venti asked Chen Li to treat his friend Tvalin, and Chen Li took Venti’s Gnosis as payment before flying off to rescue people.

• Chen Li explained that Dragon Durin’s remains, the Winterwood Tree, and the Power of Abundance had begun producing Abundance Fiends in Dragonspine, prompting the Reignbow Arbiter to target the region.
• Chen Li and Venti agreed to evacuate the survivors to the border between Dragonspine and the grasslands, and Venti chose to search the upper mountainside for Durin.
• Venti asked Chen Li to cure his friend Tvalin without using a Resurrection Card, then offered him the Anemo Archon’s Gnosis as payment.
• Chen Li pocketed the Gnosis and flew toward Dragonspine, while Zhongli urged Venti to help evacuate people and seek a Miraculous Item.

Venti used Zhongli’s Slap Gloves to find Tvalin while Zhongli arranged to test Liyue’s leadership by making the Geo Gnosis a target during Osial’s release. Chen Li returned from Dragonspine with Albedo and Eula just after a devastating light arrow erased the mountain, and Eula learned she had nearly been caught in its destruction.

• Venti discovered that Zhongli’s Slap Gloves had helped Ta Dragon King Ruo target him, then used them to locate Tvalin.
• Zhongli gave Scylla an unmodified Geo Gnosis for the Cryo Archon and planned to leave it in the Golden House, using Osial’s unsealing to test the Liyue Qixing.
• A powerful light arrow erupted from Dragonspine and erased the mountain as Chen Li returned with Albedo and Eula.
• Chen Li introduced Albedo and Eula, who identified herself as a Knights of Favonius captain and descendant of the Lawrence Family.
• Eula confronted Chen Li after realizing he had seen her bathing, but Chen Li pointed out that Dragonspine had vanished and said she would have disappeared with it if he had brought her out a second later.

Chen Li accidentally caused Eula to write her name in a miraculous Death Note, giving her only three days to live. As Eula chose a cause of death, she felt freed from the burdens of Mondstadt’s prejudice, while Chen Li promised to fulfill her wish and insisted she was not a bad person.

• Chen Li gave Eula the Death Note, and she wrote her own name in it before he finished explaining how it worked.
• Chen Li told Eula she would die unless she wrote a cause and time of death, and he explained that she could postpone it for up to three days.
• Eula wrote her chosen death on the notebook’s second page and felt relief as she reflected on the prejudice she faced as a Lawrence.
• Eula thanked Chen Li for saving her life, but he worried she had fallen ill and promised to fulfill her wish.
• Eula urged Chen Li to let her die as a descendant of the Sinners, but he rejected her self-condemnation and said he trusted what he had seen of her.

After Chen Li befriended Eula, she began using the Death Note to decide who should die before her own predicted death in three days. Chen Li stopped her from targeting everyone indiscriminately and closed the notebook, saying he still had uses for some [Sinners].

• Chen Li comforted Eula, and the two introduced themselves as friends while Albedo watched their relationship change rapidly.
• Eula confirmed that she had written “Die with complete satisfaction” as her cause of death, then wondered whether she could use the Death Note to take revenge on Mondstadt.
• Chen Li encouraged Eula to write in the Death Note, and she chose to target people who endangered Mondstadt and hilichurls who attacked innocent passersby.
• Eula added punishments for human traffickers and school bullies, then started writing about people who cheated on their partners.
• Chen Li stopped Eula from writing that last rule, closed the Death Note, and said he still had uses for some [Sinners].

Chen Li gave Eula several extraordinary items while pretending to be Barbatos, letting her make wishes about her family and Mondstadt. Eula discovered he could also save her from death, then confronted him over the misunderstanding and his earlier deception.

• Venti claimed Chen Li was Barbatos, and the Anemo Archon's Gnosis appeared and resonated; Albedo played along with Venti's claim.
• Eula used Chen Li's Slap Gloves to try to find Amber's missing grandfather, then received a Lingering Spirit of the Poet to end the Lawrence Family's noble status.
• Chen Li offered Eula a Horse Talisman to cure Mondstadt's wind disaster and scissors to sever her ties to the Lawrence Family.
• Chen Li revealed a method that could let Eula resist death, prompting her to recall her threat to kill him if the Death Note proved to be an ordinary notebook.
• Eula swung her greatsword at Chen Li but stopped when he did not dodge, then asked whether he had an item that granted immortality.

Eula tried to write Barbatos’s name in the Death Note, but Venti revealed that he was Barbatos and had given the identity to Chen Li. Chen Li used that identity to capture Istaroth, then summoned Rhinedottir, leaving her reunited with Albedo.

• Eula picked up the Death Note to write Barbatos’s name, but Venti stopped her and confessed that he was the Anemo Archon.
• Venti explained that he had transferred the identity of Barbatos to Chen Li, who used Riddler to make the lie true.
• Chen Li immobilized Istaroth with a cake, stabbed her with Kingslayer’s handle, and sent her to Naberius in a Poké Ball.
• Chen Li told Albedo that Rhinedottir was already with him and summoned her through Friends Circle’s Request Help function.
• Rhinedottir appeared, mistook Chen Li’s intentions, then opened her eyes and recognized Albedo and Barbatos.

Chen Li assigned Rhinedottir and the Venti halves missions involving Bakunawa, the Mare Jivari, the Abyss Order, and other threats. Eula panicked when Chen Li admitted he had not activated any immortality skills, but relaxed when he assured her his Miraculous Forger powers would keep him safe.

• Chen Li ordered Rhinedottir to repair Dragon Durin and Elinas’s programs, then sent her to capture Bakunawa with Albedo’s help.
• Venti volunteered to visit the Mare Jivari, and Chen Li used the Tiger Talisman to split him into Good Venti and Corrupted Venti.
• Chen Li sent Good Venti with Rhinedottir and Albedo to retrieve trapped adventurers, while Corrupted Venti went to attack the Abyss Order in Mondstadt.
• Chen Li tasked Zhongli with unsealing Osial and sent Scylla to confront Childe with an imitation shield that could block two lethal attacks.
• Chen Li found Eula writing his name in a notebook and revealed that he had not downloaded any immortality skills, frightening her before reassuring her that his Miraculous Forger powers would protect him.

Eula tried to fulfill Chen Li’s supposed final wish by cooking for him, while Chen Li helped her sever her ties to the Lawrence Family. The feast was interrupted when Furina arrived with Arlecchino, whom she claimed to have defeated, leaving Chen Li astonished by the Knave’s capture.

• Chen Li asked Eula to feed him until he died, and she wrote the method of death into his Death Note.
• Eula used Chen Li’s Game Life Miracle Card to prepare dish after dish as Chen Li ate an enormous feast at the Hunters Lodge Restaurant.
• Chen Li’s scissors severed Eula’s relationship with the Lawrence Family, and she used the Lingering Spirit of the Poet to erase the family’s noble title.
• Furina arrived through a Teleportation Gate and claimed she had single-handedly defeated the Fatui Harbinger Arlecchino.
• Furina struggled to drag Arlecchino through the gate, and Chen Li recognized the captive as the Knave.

Chen Li reunited with Furina in Mondstadt, where Eula discovered he had eaten through her money and ingredients. As Tvalin returned and darkened the skies, Chen Li told Eula to earn bounty money by throwing the dragon overhead.

• Furina realized Chen Li had tricked her about the Knave and playfully demanded that he make her cake tastier.
• Eula reluctantly performed a dramatic blessing over a Moon Pie for Chen Li, then introduced herself to Furina.
• Eula admitted she had run out of Mora after buying ingredients for Chen Li, and Furina revealed how much he could eat.
• Eula grew furious when she learned Chen Li had eaten her wallet empty, while her Song of Broken Pines pierced a nearby chair.
• Tvalin appeared over Mondstadt, and Chen Li told Eula to give the dragon an Overhead Toss for bounty money.

Eula used the power granted by her fulfilled wishes to defeat and help cleanse Tvalin, while Corrupted Venti carried the healed dragon away and left Mondstadt to govern itself. Afterward, Eula confronted Chen Li over his schemes, and Chen Li tried to secure her a reward from the Knights of Favonius.

• Chen Li told Eula to perform an Overhead Toss on Tvalin, and her fourth-stage wish let her launch the dragon into Mondstadt's plaza.
• Chen Li gave Eula the Horse Talisman, which removed Tvalin's poison and Abyssal influence as Venti's wind lifted the healed dragon away.
• Corrupted Venti warned that the Abyss Order would not be spared for harming his followers and told Mondstadt to handle its own affairs.
• Eula questioned Chen Li about his plan to gather witnesses and grant her dragon-slaying power, then asked about the Death Note's limits; Furina explained that it could not harm its Miraculous Forger.
• Chen Li offered to get Eula a reward and, seated in the Grand Master's office, challenged the Knights of Favonius to defend their acting Anemo Archon from her questioning.

Chen Li gave Jean an altered Anemo God's Gnosis that could share Barbatos's authority and help protect Mondstadt, but its power briefly made Jean act like a sovereign. After the Knights took it from her, Chen Li explained how it worked and suggested Jean try using it again.

• Chen Li refused to help manage Mondstadt and gave Jean a Gnosis engraved with a blessing that could share the Anemo God's authority and grant her an endless lifespan.
• Kaeya returned with the Horse Talisman after using it to repair damage caused by the Anemo Dragon.
• Jean acted like a sovereign while holding the Gnosis, and Kaeya and Lisa joined forces to take it from her.
• Lisa and Jean argued over the Gnosis until Eula snatched it away and blamed Chen Li for the commotion.
• Chen Li explained that the Gnosis carried a protective blessing that could use Mondstadt's will and Barbatos's power, then asked Eula to return it to Jean for another try.
• Eula refused to give Jean the Gnosis back.

Chen Li resolved the struggle over the Gnosis in Mondstadt, arranged Eula’s immortality training, and left with Furina for Liyue as Osial’s release and Tartaglia’s arrival approached. At the Golden House, Tartaglia chose to challenge Chen Li instead of taking five Mora.

• Eula resisted handing over the Gnosis, but Furina distracted her with cake and passed it to Chen Li, who altered it before giving it to Jean.
• Chen Li gave Eula the Miraculous Dragon Transformation Method and Starstones, instructed her to strengthen her immortality, and told her to come to his house that night.
• Furina proposed using the Death Note to make a wish involving Chen Li, but Chen Li decided to let her spread the idea to expose anyone with dangerous intentions toward him.
• Chen Li gave the Knights Friends Circle Terminals, announced his departure for Liyue, and told Eula to prepare Mondstadt for a future game involving its Sinners.
• Jean used the Anemo Archon’s authority to silence objections and left to commission a grander acting grand master’s chair featuring Tvalin.
• At the Golden House, Tartaglia rejected Chen Li’s offer of five Mora and chose to challenge the mysterious expert.

Tartaglia tried to reach the Golden House to take Morax’s Gnosis, but Chen Li blocked him with rules, fees, and a mysterious challenge mirror. The chapter left Tartaglia repeatedly defeated and injured inside the Weekly Instance.

• Tartaglia arrived at the Golden House after learning that Osial had been released and found Chen Li guarding its doors.
• Chen Li let Tartaglia approach, then snapped his leg with an accelerated wheelchair when he tried to break the doors open.
• Tartaglia paid Chen Li for a Horse Talisman, which healed his leg, but he lacked the key and Mora to get inside.
• Chen Li charged Tartaglia five Mora to challenge the mysterious strong person through the Weekly Instance and explained its time and healing buffs.
• Tartaglia chose the buff that stopped outside time, drew Goetia as his opponent, and was immediately ejected while coughing blood.
• Chen Li healed Tartaglia with the Horse Talisman, and Tartaglia tried the Weekly Instance again but was quickly ejected injured once more.

Tartaglia entered the Golden House to challenge a mysterious expert, only to discover that the opponent was his furious master, Scylla. With Chen Li sealing the exit and supplying a shield that could absorb two fatal blows, Tartaglia faced Scylla in a fight that left him certain his third life was about to end.

• Tartaglia repeatedly lost to Goetia in the time-stop challenge, then paid his debt with Whopperflower Nectar and entered the Golden House.
• Tartaglia challenged the mysterious expert for the Geo Archon's Gnosis, but recognized Scylla when she turned around.
• Chen Li sealed the Golden House doors and gave Tartaglia a shield that could block two fatal attacks in exchange for his bond with Scylla.
• Scylla struck Tartaglia twice, while Chen Li explained that the shield had consumed both of its protections.
• Scylla criticized Tartaglia for taking too long to shout his move names and resumed attacking as Chen Li encouraged her to beat him.
