Chen Li unfolded Amphoreus near New Penacony, completing two Miracle Cards and earning a Graduation Certificate after the Chrysos Heirs defeated Iron Tomb. Stelle tried to claim the certificate, but Chen Li challenged her to defeat him, so she asked Firefly to teach her how to pilot a mecha.

• Chen Li deployed Amphoreus as a two-dimensional world near New Penacony, where it unfolded across the horizon with time frozen.
• Chen Li revealed two completed Miracle Cards and a Graduation Certificate, which he earned after the Chrysos Heirs defeated the enhanced Iron Tomb and averted the world-destroying crisis.

Chen Li used the Alchemy Table to prepare portions of a Miracle Cocoon for the twelve Chrysos Heirs, while Yae Miko and the others disrupted his work. The chapter ended with Chen Li promising Stelle not to stir up trouble and hiding his scheme from Polyxenia.

• Yae Miko charged Chen Li for egg-fried rice and damaged tableware, so he turned her into a little pink fox.
• Chen Li put the Crystal fruit and flower into the Alchemy Table, explaining that he planned to divide them among the twelve Chrysos Heirs.
• Stelle noticed Chen Li had set the fruit to split into thirty portions, and Chen Li revealed his plan to provoke the Chrysos Heirs by assigning portions unevenly.

• Chen Li covered Stelle's mouth and told Polyxenia that his evil personality had taken over but that he had suppressed it.

Chen Li explained how he had rescued Polyxenia and offered her a place in Amphoreus’s re-creation, but she chose to preserve her memories of Castorice instead. After Polyxenia emerged from the Chronicles of Ages in a tiny body, Stelle asked why Chen Li had left her out of the re-creation.

• Polyxenia transformed from a tiny dead dragon into an even smaller human, and Chen Li caught her before she fell.

• Stelle pointed out that Firefly’s Entropy Syndrome had not been cured and that Chen Li had taken away her Sam life-support pod.
• Stelle explained that the Horse Talisman could repair dissociated body parts but could not stop Firefly’s genetic condition from continuing.

Chen Li revealed a plan to treat Firefly’s Entropy Syndrome by using Nanook’s golden blood and an Inspiration Mushroom, then forging Sam into a Miraculous Item with enhancement functions. Firefly agreed to let the group borrow Sam’s projection, while Stelle went to find The Erudition and Chen Li wrapped her in golden threads.

• Chen Li showed Stelle a projection of Gourmet Cells and proposed using it to help Firefly digest Nanook’s golden blood.
• Chen Li took out Firefly’s Sam Transformation Device and proposed forging Sam into a Miraculous Item that could enhance its user.
• Firefly agreed to let other group members borrow Sam’s projection, and thanked Chen Li for considering her feelings.
• Stelle headed back to the Astral Express to find The Erudition, but Chen Li snapped his fingers and bound her in golden threads.

Firefly questioned Polyxenia about her feelings for Chen Li and learned that Polyxenia was willing to pursue the person her sister Castorice liked as well. Chen Li discovered that Polyxenia had lost her performance credits for violations in the Chronicles of Ages, leaving her shrunken and embarrassed.

• Firefly asked Polyxenia whether she had considered Castorice's feelings, and Polyxenia said she would accept the person her sister liked and stay with them both.
• Polyxenia told Firefly to keep her feelings secret from Chen Li, while Firefly denied having unusual feelings for either Chen Li or Stelle.
• Chen Li finished dismantling the Cocoon of Eternity into thirty beads and prepared to summon the Chrysos Heirs again.
• Chen Li confronted Polyxenia about the hidden content in the Chronicles of Ages and revealed that she had lost all her performance credits for review violations.
• Polyxenia tried to defend herself and invoke sympathy, but Chen Li said he would not hold her further accountable and told her to remain in her smaller form for a while.

Chen Li restored Polyxenia’s physical body, then learned that Aqua had risen to become a leading figure on the Path of Destruction by crippling its forces. He tried to rein in Aqua and teach her to use Heaven’s Door properly, ending in disbelief when he discovered she had been handing eggs to the Great Extinguishers.

• Chen Li used the Chronicles of Ages to give Polyxenia a physical body, and she eagerly touched his face before teasing him.
• Chen Li prepared to use the Alchemy Table to combine a bead with a petal marked by the Path of Equilibrium, then summoned Aqua to demonstrate Heaven’s Door.
• Aqua revealed that Nanook had made her a Great Extinguisher and that she had devastated the Path of Destruction, which Chen Li explained was largely due to her carelessness.
• Chen Li warned Aqua not to seek the Aeon of Destruction’s position, and Aqua said she would turn the Path of Destruction into a gigantic firework if she became its Aeon.
• Aqua asked Chen Li why her colleagues disliked the eggs she had given them, and Chen Li explained that Heaven’s Door required giving each recipient a necessity suited to them.

Chen Li synthesized Castorice from a Miracle Cocoon fragment and her memories, and she emerged from a travel pack. After recognizing him, Castorice confessed that she had missed him and climbed over him, until Great Herta's cough broke the intimate moment.

• Chen Li explained to Aqua why Great Extinguishers did not need eggs and prepared to synthesize Castorice.
• Great Herta arrived seeking news of Demiurge, then agreed to let Chen Li proceed with the synthesis.
• While the Alchemy Table worked, Chen Li distributed beads made from the Miracle Cocoon among the Chrysos Heirs, giving Cyrene and Phainon ten each.
• The Alchemy Table produced a travel pack containing Castorice, who immediately recognized Chen Li and said she had missed him terribly.
• Castorice pushed Chen Li to the floor and touched his face as Polyxenia watched, until Great Herta's cough interrupted them.

Chen Li summoned several Chrysos Heirs from the travel pack, and each arrival gave him a Bond Artifact that made Great Herta increasingly suspicious of his relationships with them. Tribios comforted Chen Li, then revealed that the three Tribbie forms were only a fraction of the clones and that she intended to punish him.

• Castorice thanked Chen Li for rescuing Polyxenia, while Great Herta teased them about Castorice’s closeness to him and questioned the Bond Artifact in his hand.
• Chen Li summoned Hysilens, who gave him honey brew and a Bond Artifact, then summoned Mydei and Anaxa, each of whom also produced a Bond Artifact.
• Chen Li summoned Tribbie and Huang Di together, receiving Bond Artifacts from both; Tribbie’s three forms merged into Tribios, who embraced and comforted him.
• When Chen Li asked Tribios to let go, she held him tighter and said it was Tisong’s turn, then explained that many more Tribbie clones existed and threatened to spank him for stuffing them into the travel pack.

Chen Li summoned Aglaea with the Alchemy Table, but Anaxa secretly added an Earth Beast plushie and changed her appearance into purple Earth Beast pajamas. The enraged Aglaea attacked Anaxa, while Chen Li moved on to summon Krydrla.

• Tribios held Chen Li until the synthesis finished, then split back into Trianne, Tribbie, and Trinnon after the Alchemy Table restored her.
• Anaxa synthesized Aglaea and secretly added an Earth Beast plushie, confident it would only affect her appearance.
• Aglaea emerged wearing purple Earth Beast pajamas, recognized Anaxa's prank, and bound him in golden threads before stomping him with a furry paw-shaped slipper.
• Chen Li prepared Krydrla's petal in the Alchemy Table and began the next synthesis.

Chen Li welcomed Krydrla and Feng Jin, who received new titles, and Krydrla insisted on repaying the thirty million gifts he had given Amphoreus with acts of loyalty and happiness. She made herself Chen Li’s butler and demanded his room key, but left without getting it.

• Chen Li received the Bond Artifacts [Scales of Justice] and [Eyes of Dawn and Dusk] and helped Krydrla and Feng Jin out of the travel pack.
• Krydrla bestowed the title Heaven Mending Duke on Feng Jin, who went to calm the arguing Aglaea and Anaxa.
• Krydrla called Chen Li Chewing Duke, then kissed his hand and declared she would repay his thirty million gifts with thirty million acts of loyalty and happiness.
• Krydrla used the Scales of Justice to make their exchange fair and declared herself Chen Li’s butler, asking for his house key.
• Chen Li gave Krydrla a Room Card but refused to hand over his room key, and Hysilens accompanied Krydrla away.

Polyxenia persuaded Castorice to use her Room Card and Bond Artifact to steer Chen Li toward a safer room, while Chen Li supervised Aglaea as she synthesized Cipher. Aglaea tried to interfere with the process using hidden golden threads, but Chen Li stopped her and left her under Tribbie’s watch.

• Polyxenia showed Castorice her Room Card for Chen Li’s house and convinced her to consider using Castorice’s Bond Artifact to guide Chen Li toward a safer room.
• Polyxenia searched Chen Li’s Friends Circle for someone dangerous enough to create a sense of crisis and chose Elysia as a possible ally for Cyrene.
• Chen Li prepared to synthesize Cipher, but Aglaea asked to press the Synthesis Button herself and tried to add hidden golden threads to the materials.
• Chen Li caught Aglaea’s wrist, guided her finger to the button, and carried her away to sit with the Chrysos Heirs under Tribbie’s supervision.
• Trianne asked why Aglaea had tried to add golden threads, and Aglaea said she wanted to give Sephalia a stable home.

After Cipher emerged from the travel pack with her memories restored, she playfully confronted Chen Li over how he had treated her as a child, and he got his own revenge by teasing her. Cipher then joined the Chrysos Heirs and greeted Aglaea, leaving their reunion poised to continue.

• Aglaea threatened Anaxa with revealing his schemes to his sister, so Anaxa agreed to write a pledge not to speak out of turn.
• Chen Li opened the travel pack, but Cipher refused to leave it until she recognized him and accused him of treating her like a stray cat in childhood.
• Cipher pinched Chen Li’s cheeks and bumped her forehead against his, then Chen Li countered by petting her cat ears until she escaped his grasp.
• Chen Li repeatedly covered and uncovered Cipher with the travel pack while she pretended to hiss and meow, then admitted he had been recording her cute behavior to sell to Aglaea.
• Cipher took Chen Li’s Friends Circle Terminal, ran to the Chrysos Heirs, and asked Aglaea why she was wearing Earth Beast pajamas.

Cipher reunited with Aglaea, who tried to bring her back to Okhema and bind her with gold threads, but Cipher bounced over to Chen Li for help. Chen Li claimed Cipher as a stray cat and carried her off, while Aglaea said she would visit his room to watch the cat do backflips.

• Cipher laughed at Aglaea’s Earth Beast pajamas, then learned Aglaea knew why she had left and worried she was being lured into a trap.
• Aglaea offered Cipher a Covenant Gold Coin and promised not to punish her, but Cipher demanded that she not restrict her freedom and exposed Aglaea’s ulterior motives.
• Aglaea revealed the gold threads and bound Cipher into a cat-shaped bundle, then approached with golden shackles.
• Cipher spotted that no gold threads were near Chen Li, bounced to his feet, and begged him to save her.
• Chen Li lifted Cipher, fed her a Golden Apple, and declared that he was taking the stray cat home; Aglaea said she would visit his room to watch Cipher do backflips.
• Chen Li dissolved the gold threads around Cipher, and she asked him what they should do about Aglaea.

Chen Li distracted Cipher with a golden thread ball, but Cipher and Aglaea secretly reached an agreement that turned their attention toward him. When Krydrla and the Chrysos Heirs arrived at Raiden Ei’s restaurant to celebrate Amphoreus’s rebirth, Mydei challenged Raiden Ei to cook for him, and she headed to the kitchen despite Chen Li’s concern.

• Chen Li lured Cipher to Aglaea with a golden thread ball, and Cipher whispered to Aglaea until they struck a deal and Aglaea released her.
• Raiden Ei returned to her restaurant with Yae Miko and welcomed the Chrysos Heirs, who asked whether they could order a celebratory feast.
• Krydrla asked Chen Li whether Amphoreus’s Liheng Coins could be exchanged in Paradise, and he explained that Taiyi had enabled Paradise Coins to serve that purpose.
• Raiden Ei admitted that she could not use the restaurant’s ordinary cooking utensils safely, but Mydei insisted he could endure her cooking and made a wager with the Covenant Gold Coin.
• Mydei realized Raiden Ei was Chen Li’s exclusive chef and apologized, but Raiden Ei went to cook for him while Chen Li regretted failing to stop her.

After Mydei survived Raiden Ei’s dangerously potent cooking, Krydrla proposed turning the struggling restaurant into an Amphoreus outpost and promoting the Chrysos Heirs’ deeds. The group agreed to run it for the three remaining days of the Holy Grail War, with Raiden Ei as manager and Krydrla as her assistant.

• Raiden Ei’s dish, made with rare ingredients supplied by Aha, knocked Mydei out, but he recovered and described dreaming of Iron Tombs fighting in his mouth.
• Krydrla offered to help Raiden Ei’s restaurant by making it an Amphoreus outpost in New Penacony and teaching her to manage it.
• Krydrla persuaded the Chrysos Heirs to promote Amphoreus and their achievements by operating the restaurant for three days, and they agreed.
• Chen Li offered land for crops, while Anaxa and Feng Jin volunteered to help with supplies and alchemy.
• Mydei volunteered to cook and recruited Phainon, while Castorice, Aglaea, and Hysilens offered to help; Krydrla appointed Raiden Ei store manager and herself assistant.

Raiden Ei and Krydrla established the Golden Diner in New Penacony, arranging delivery and procurement while two Alchemy Tables produced travel packs containing Chrysos Heirs. Byakuyasha tried to exploit the vacant Berserker slot for an illegal Holy Grail War summoning, but learned Sparkle had already claimed the opportunity and was left exposed when she reported her.

• Raiden Ei agreed to Krydrla's proposal to name the diner Golden Diner, and Chen Li approved delivery through Tribbie's Hundred Realms Gate with a return-trip service.
• Cipher volunteered to procure rare ingredients, and two Alchemy Tables produced travel packs that Chen Li revealed with a burst of golden light.
• Flame Reaver sensed another version of himself and headed toward the core commercial district, while Byakuyasha persuaded him to help exploit the vacant Berserker slot for an illegal summoning.
• Byakuyasha learned from Ryougi Shiki that Sparkle had already sought an illegal summoning, then decided to report Sparkle to Chen Li and take the slot for herself.
• Chen Li pointed out that Byakuyasha's knowledge of Sparkle's plan exposed her own intent, leaving Byakuyasha unable to deny that she had wanted to exploit the same loophole.

Byakuyasha searched for Flame Reaver and tried to convince the Chrysos Heirs that he was still alive, while Phainon mourned him and offered to take his place. Flame Reaver finally appeared in the Board Game Shop, leaving Phainon humiliated as Aha arrived laughing at the deception.

• Byakuyasha told Chen Li she wanted to stop Sparkle from wasting an illegal summoning slot, then realized Flame Reaver had disappeared.
• Aglaea and the Chrysos Heirs told Byakuyasha that Flame Reaver, also known as Kaelan, had died, and Phainon offered to serve her in his place.
• Phainon insisted Flame Reaver was dead despite Byakuyasha's protests, while Anaxa checked Pale Justice's effect in the Artifact Compendium.
• Byakuyasha threatened to pair Flame Reaver with Oswaldo if he did not appear, and Flame Reaver entered the Board Game Shop.
• Phainon realized Chen Li had misled him, and Aha appeared laughing at everyone.

Byakuyasha accused Sparkle of illegally summoning a Servant, and Aha turned the Board Game Shop into a courtroom to investigate. The hearing instead exposed Aventurine’s illegal summoning of his sister, and Chen Li admitted that he had helped him.

• Chen Li told Byakuyasha that Aha was the Holy Grail War’s judge, then explained that Phainon and the others had staged their earlier antics to draw Aha out.
• Byakuyasha accused Sparkle of arranging an illegal summoning, so Aha used [Joyful Judgment] to bring her to the Board Game Shop and convened a courtroom.
• Aha established a Covenant Gold Coin agreement requiring everyone in the courtroom to speak frankly, while Sparkle denied Byakuyasha’s accusation and Aha interpreted her answers as evidence she had been role-playing.
• At Byakuyasha’s suggestion, Aha brought Aventurine and an unfamiliar woman into court; Aventurine confessed that he had illegally summoned his deceased sister.
• Aventurine claimed responsibility for several unrelated events, leaving Byakuyasha incredulous, until Chen Li admitted he had helped Aventurine summon his sister and defended the act.

Byakuyasha discovered that Aha was the illegally summoned Heroic Spirit and learned he had become a Ruler to gain power in the Holy Grail War. After another summoning succeeded and the gathering resumed, Cyrene was abruptly transported from her travel pack into a summoning circle, where a mysterious Crystal-like figure appeared.

• Anaxa defended Aventurine’s wish to see his sister, and Aha sent them from the courtroom to the Board Game Shop.
• Sparkle admitted to an illegal summoning, and Aha sentenced her to lose two Friends Circle reputation points.
• Byakuyasha realized Aha was Sparkle’s summoned Heroic Spirit and learned Flame Reaver had killed him; Aha explained that he joined the war to gain strength.
• Aha revealed he had become a Ruler and had given another illegal summoning slot to a lucky participant, whose successful summon added two Command Spells to his arm.
• Great Herta remembered that Cyrene was still inside the final travel pack, but Cyrene was suddenly transported to a summoning circle instead.
• A figure made of Crystal and mirrors materialized before Cyrene as time and cause and effect seemed to turn upside down.

Cyrene became the newborn Aeon of Remembrance after her memories reshaped Fuli’s empty vessel. Frozen outside time, she uncovered the Memokeepers’ plans and exposed Constance, also known as Dahlia, as the mastermind behind the illegal summoning and Cyrene’s Master.

• Cyrene’s thirty million reincarnations filled Fuli’s mirror fragments, and she took the Aeon’s place as the living center of memory.
• Cyrene recognized the kneeling Memokeepers as members of the Flowing Light Memory Court and used her new powers to inspect their memories.
• Cyrene transformed into Fuli-like armor and cast Memory Evasion: Art of Time Stripping, learning the truth behind the summoning and the Memokeepers’ arrival in New Penacony.
• Cyrene revealed that the disguised Memokeeper was Dahlia, also known as Constance, a Cremator and the mastermind who held the Command Seal.
• Constance’s memories showed that she had abandoned her role at the Eternal Flame Manor after a fake Archduke of the Netherflame and Acheron frightened her away.
• Constance had moved to New Penacony and started causing trouble after Cyrene, a Pure Child of Anāsrava, appeared in public.

Cyrene became the Aeon of Remembrance after Dahlia’s summoning went awry, then spared Dahlia and gathered the Memokeepers into a bracelet. She returned to the Board Game Shop, where she spotted Chen Li and hesitated before going back into his travel pack.

• Dahlia tried to use Memokeepers as Holy Relics to summon the Aeon of Remembrance, but the Aeon chose Cyrene as its vessel instead.
• Cyrene turned the Memokeepers into beads and decided to give them to the pink-haired Pure Child of Anāsrava as a meeting gift.
• Cyrene gave Dahlia a flower that restored her focus and made her forget what had happened, then let her walk away with her Command Seals.
• Cyrene discovered the Years' Gap ability and returned to the Board Game Shop, where she found Aventurine and his sister and slipped inside unseen.
• Cyrene approached Chen Li’s travel pack, saw Chen Li focused on the temporary court’s verdict, and reconsidered returning to the pack immediately.

Cyrene secretly kissed Chen Li while invisible, then returned to him and pretended to be angry when he retrieved her from the travel pack. After Great Herta interrupted their reunion and greeted Cyrene, she asked Chen Li about Demiurge, whose status remained unresolved.

• Cyrene used Presence Erasure to kiss Chen Li twice while he watched the virtual courtroom, then hid in her travel pack when Great Herta spoke.
• Chen Li lifted Cyrene out of the travel pack, and she feigned anger before slipping into his arms and welcoming his apology.
• Cipher and Castorice watched Cyrene's affectionate reunion with Chen Li, while Great Herta interrupted and began asserting herself.
• Cyrene introduced herself to Great Herta, who scrutinized her and advised her to keep being honest.
• Great Herta asked Chen Li what had happened to Demiurge after confirming that all twelve Chrysos Heirs had appeared.

Chen Li explained how the Miracle Cocoon worked and what the Chrysos Heirs gained from merging with its remnants, while Cyrene discovered that Aha could see her and joined the Aeon Squad group chat. The chapter left Great Herta asking how the Miracle Cocoon’s miracle probabilities would change as it leveled up.

• Great Herta said Chen Li could sever the connection between Cyrene and Demiurge without ending their relationship, and Chen Li asked whether she had been waiting for Mimi.
• Cyrene watched the Board Game Shop’s guests, learned that Aha had been able to see her, and joined his Aeon Squad group chat.
• Aha warned Cyrene that others could use Command Seals on her and pointed her toward Chen Li.
• Chen Li explained to Great Herta that the Chrysos Heirs received exclusive Imaginary Exclusive Weapons and control over part of the Miracle Cocoon’s Miracle Points and influence.
• Chen Li described how the Miracle Cocoon gained levels by spending Miracle Points and could use those levels to increase the odds of miracles, while Great Herta questioned how the probabilities were weighted.

Chen Li explained how the Miracle Cocoon let the Chrysos Heirs influence miracles, then learned Cyrene had become the Aeon of Remembrance and received her Memory Key. When Chen Li tried to force the key open, it cracked under his strength, apparently breaking a law tied to the Aeon of Remembrance.

• Great Herta questioned Chen Li, who explained that the Miracle Cocoon’s judgment was influenced seventy percent by him and thirty percent by the Chrysos Heirs, with Cyrene and Phainon holding greater influence than the others.
• Chen Li warned Phainon against using the Cocoon to impose his yellow-and-purple aesthetic on the universe, and Anaxa threatened him with ostracism.
• Phainon told Chen Li that Cyrene had become the Aeon of Remembrance and showed him the Memory Key, which could let a compatible person become that Aeon within certain areas.
• Cyrene explained that she had made the key’s power available to others, and Chen Li agreed to test it despite the cost in Miracle Points.
• Chen Li found the Memory Key would not budge when he tried to open it by force, and a series of cracks sounded as he snapped something beyond the key’s lock.
