Theresia reunited with Amiya and the Doctor, but Vishdale’s attempt to surpass the Doctor in Theresia’s affections summoned a fully equipped Demon King Amiya as her opponent. As Chen Li faced the unexpected threat, Fu Xuan and Yao Guang appeared together on friendly terms, leaving him astonished.

• Theresia asked Vishdale where the Doctor was, then reunited with Amiya and eagerly took the penguin Doctor into her arms.
• Vishdale confronted the Doctor, who apologized and tricked her into accepting a jade talisman that summoned her to Paradise to pull wires.
• Vishdale used the [Sports Committee Member] Artifact to seek a way to outrank the Doctor in Theresia’s heart, causing a destructive figure to appear and tear the palace roof away.
• Chen Li cleared the rubble and discovered that Vishdale’s opponent was a fully equipped Demon King version of Amiya.
• Fu Xuan and Yao Guang arrived arm in arm, and Chen Li asked how Yao Guang had persuaded Fu Xuan to reconcile.

Yao Guang explained that Demon King Rabbit’s empty shell was reconnecting with a real version from another worldline, creating an uncertain threat. The Doctor decided to exploit the Originium Beautification Pack and capture her with a Poké Ball, and the chapter ended as the ball swallowed Demon King Rabbit.

• Yao Guang warned that Demon King Rabbit’s manifestation had connected her shell to a real Demon King Rabbit from another worldline, and the connection was forming again.
• Chen Li urged the Doctor to devise a plan, and the Doctor chose to distract Demon King Rabbit and capture her with a Poké Ball.
• The Doctor explained that the Originium Beautification Pack made Demon King Rabbit appear to him as an ordinary rabbit, while Kal'tsit warned that sealing her powers could kill her.
• Vishdale drew Demon King Rabbit’s attention with exaggerated laughter as the Doctor circled behind her and prepared a Poké Ball.
• The Doctor threw the Poké Ball, which struck Demon King Rabbit in the back of the head and swallowed her in red light.

Doctor’s failed Poké Ball capture of Demon King Rabbit led Vishdale to trap them together in a circle, where they began an ineffectual brawl. While everyone watched, Chen Li discussed the Friends Circle’s artifacts and plans for the Paradise Alliance with Fu Xuan, whose senior sister had persuaded her with an unexpectedly blunt question about wanting a husband.

• Doctor’s Poké Ball failed to capture Demon King Rabbit, angering her, and Vishdale trapped them both inside Draw a Circle to Imprison.
• Chen Li refused to release Doctor, and Demon King Rabbit attacked him while the barrier blocked her other-timeline consciousness from reaching her body.

Yao Guang and Fu Xuan discussed the Xianzhou Alliance’s plans to bind Chen Li to it through political marriages, while Fu Xuan hesitated to reveal her own feelings. Chen Li then noticed that Vishdale and the others had obtained character cards from the Book of Years and Unofficial History, though none were Five-Character Divine Beings.

• Yao Guang convinced Fu Xuan that she could not pursue a political marriage as Luofu general unless she first gave up her claim to the position and relocated to another Xianzhou.
• Fu Xuan tentatively asked Chen Li whether he had considered accepting more political marriages, then quickly withdrew the question.
• Yao Guang teased Fu Xuan about a marriage alliance she had not yet disclosed, but let her keep it secret after Fu Xuan confirmed she had already explained the artifact-binding candidates to Chen Li.
• Yao Guang revealed that she had proposed marrying the Marshal and other Xianzhou leaders to Chen Li, but the Marshal rejected the proposals.
• Vishdale triggered a flash of purple light while reading the Book of Years and Unofficial History, and Chen Li saw that she, Amiya, Kal'tsit, Theresia, and others had obtained character cards; only Vishdale and Amiya held purple cards.

Vishdale revealed that her character card let her capture older people and fire them from a cannon, while Amiya worried that her card described the Demon King Rabbit fighting Doctor. Chen Li freed the Demon King Rabbit from the boundary, and its overwhelming presence nearly crushed everyone before Fu Xuan shielded them; the Rabbit then froze, letting Doctor escape behind Chen Li.

• Vishdale showed Chen Li her [Seize Ancestors, Dispatch Forebears] card and demonstrated that she could summon a cannon and use older people as ammunition.
• Amiya showed Chen Li her [Supremely Benevolent and Good] card, and Chen Li reassured her that its description represented only one possible future.
• Chen Li ended the fight between Doctor and the Demon King Rabbit, and Amiya covered Chen Li’s eyes after the Rabbit’s skirt lifted during its attack.

• Vishdale aimed her cannon at the Demon King Rabbit, but it suddenly froze, allowing Doctor to run behind Chen Li.

• The Demon King Rabbit approached Yao Guang, entrusted everything to her, then sealed herself inside black Originium as the luminous cocoons drifted toward Yao Guang.
• A colossal photo album identified as [What If] appeared and received the sealed Demon King Rabbit and the worldline cocoons.
• Chen Li used [What If] to record the worlds and give them better outcomes, revealing the Demon King Rabbit’s original world and its cycle of war and destruction.
• Yao Guang explained her agreement with the Demon King Rabbit to take the other worlds into King’s Land, and she discussed whether they could still be entered through the album.
• Amiya and Theresia thanked Chen Li for saving Terra, and the Doctor borrowed [What If] and asked whether its worlds would keep developing.

Chen Li and Doctor discussed making [If] worlds more flexible, while Vishdale mourned the unanswered question left by Demon King Rabbit. After Amiya nearly embraced a tyrannical Demon King role, Chen Li stopped her, then appeared to lose himself and began using the Peaceful Longbow to kill anyone opposing the King's Land; his companions restrained him and offered to pacify Terra rapidly instead.

• Chen Li explained that he wanted to strengthen the artifact and make [If] worlds more flexible so he could help more worlds before they fell into ruin.
• Vishdale grieved that Demon King Rabbit had disappeared before answering how she could rank higher in Theresia's heart, and Theresia stopped her from seeking the answer again.
• Amiya declared that she would become a Demon King to crush resistance and unite Terra under the King's Land, but Chen Li struck her and helped her recognize that grief had made her extreme.
• Doctor asked how Chen Li planned to end resistance, and Chen Li drew the Peaceful Longbow, activated Cleansing Moment, and announced that he would kill everyone who opposed the King's Land.
• Yao Guang, Talulah, Doctor, Amiya, Theresia, and Kal'tsit restrained Chen Li as Vishdale failed to lift his bow; Theresia and Talulah offered to secure Victoria and Kazdel, while Yao Guang proposed pacifying Terra in one day with Feixiao's help.

Chen Li summoned the Holy Grail and used its Lingchi Arrowhead to punish Terra’s most heinous people, targeting the powerful while sparing ordinary people. The suffering people praised him, and the Terra Father Miracle Card’s progress surged to 90%, while Chen Li concluded that the Hunt and Abundance were star-crossed lovers.

• Chen Li agreed to kill only the most unforgivable tenth of Terra’s sinners, then asked the Holy Grail for a way to make their punishment more painful.
• The Holy Grail gave Chen Li a cursed cleaver that he reshaped into Lingchi Arrowheads, and he fired an arrow that spread a judgment barrier across Terra.
• Lingchi Arrowheads rained down on the powerful and cruel in Terra’s grand estates, towers, and castles, while the suffering ordinary people were left unharmed.
• Chen Li heard the people praise him as the Terra Father, absorbed the faith and divinity gathering around him, and saw the Terra Father Miracle Card reach 90% progress.
• Yao Guang explained that Terra’s ruling classes openly oppressed ordinary people, and Fu Xuan said Chen Li had cured their minds as well as their bodies.
• Chen Li mused that the Hunt and Abundance were star-crossed lovers, leaving Yao Guang and Fu Xuan speechless.

Chen Li gave Talulah the immortal Black Serpent as a scarecrow to draw Cleansing Moment’s arrows while she cleared Victoria, then warned Wei Yenwu to put people first after Ling reported that the arrows hovered before him. Wei Yenwu promised to change Dragon Gate’s policies, while Ling concluded he was no longer fit to govern because his six-dimensional attributes were too low.

• Theresia thanked Chen Li for giving the Sarkaz a chance to rebuild Kazdel, and Chen Li urged her to return home with Vishdale.
• Chen Li summoned the Black Serpent’s true soul, trapped it in a scarecrow, and gave the arrow-covered scarecrow to Talulah for use against evildoers in Victoria.
• Theresia asked what would happen if immortal Beast Lords escaped the arrows, and Chen Li said they would suffer until King's Land covered Terra and then be allowed to die.
• Ling told Talulah that Wei Yenwu had agreed to make Dragon Gate King's Land, but the arrows were circling him without striking because he faced a consequential choice.
• Chen Li warned Wei Yenwu that he was no more valuable than an Infected and demanded that he put people first; Wei Yenwu promised to change Dragon Gate’s policies.
• After the call ended, Ling advised Wei Yenwu to step down as governor because his six-dimensional attributes were too low.

Wei Yenwu agreed to step down after arrows threatened him, while Chen Li welcomed Feixiao to help establish King's Land on Terra. Yao Guang bound the Emperor's Proof to herself and became Emperor, leaving Fu Xuan wary of what her senior sister would do with her new authority.

• Wei Yenwu resolved to abdicate, and the arrows circling him dispersed; Ling dismissed his suspicion that Chen Li had arranged the ordeal to force him out.
• Feixiao rushed in and embraced Chen Li, then agreed to help establish King's Land by targeting Terra's highlighted leaders while Yao Guang handled the rest.
• Yao Guang borrowed Chen Li's Microphone Artifact and declared war on Terra, then asked him to bind the Emperor's Proof to her to strengthen their claim to legitimacy.

• Yao Guang asked whether she could assign titles and positions freely, and Chen Li told her she could use the Emperor's Proof as she wished.

• Yao Guang gave Feixiao a Second-Rank King's Vassal Jade Talisman and Fu Xuan a First-Rank one, then promised to raise the ranks of the Terra officials.

• Fu Xuan confronted Yao Guang over naming Chen Li her partner, while Feixiao embraced the challenge and ordered the Yaoging fleet to attack the Sarkaz camp in Victoria.
• Feixiao grabbed Talulah and Theresia and flew to the flagship with them as the Cloud Knight fleet departed, leaving Vishdale behind at the ruined Ursus palace.

Feixiao led the Xianzhou Alliance fleet over Londinium, defeated Theresis, and reunited with the resurrected Theresia. Afterward, Yao Guang tried to make Fu Xuan chancellor so she could eventually replace her as emperor, but Chen Li stopped the appointment because he did not want Fu Xuan to overwork, leaving Fu Xuan flustered and fleeing to discuss an alliance with Rhodes Island.

• Theresis declared that the Xianzhou Alliance had declared war on Terra, then saw its fleet surround Londinium and Feixiao attack the city's defenses.
• Feixiao defeated Theresis and confronted him alongside Theresia, while the Sarkaz Royal Court lords watched in fear.
• Yao Guang explained to Chen Li and Fu Xuan that she had used the promise of becoming Chen Li's spouse to spur Feixiao into action.
• Yao Guang persuaded Fu Xuan that she could become emperor by replacing her as chancellor, and Fu Xuan tentatively thanked her for the opportunity.
• Chen Li stopped Yao Guang from appointing Fu Xuan, saying that he did not want her to work too hard, and Fu Xuan hurried off to discuss an alliance with Rhodes Island.

Yao Guang secured Chen Li’s support for her plans to bind the Xianzhou Alliance to Paradise, while Fu Xuan received the Book of Years and Unofficial History as a marriage-alliance token. As Kal'tsit reviewed the alliance’s expansion, a live feed showed Talulah addressing unrest in Victoria over the Sarkaz withdrawal, leaving the crowd’s reaction unresolved.

• Chen Li exposed Yao Guang’s attempt to appoint Fu Xuan as chancellor for the emperor’s benefit, then agreed to leave the Emperor’s Proof with Yao Guang and entrust her with the Paradise Alliance’s future administration.
• Yao Guang reflected on how her broadcast had tied the Xianzhou Alliance to Paradise and planned to speak frankly with Chen Li later.

Talulah took control of Victoria and promised its people a parliament, safer work, housing, food, and treatment for Oripathy, earning their support. Theresis was bound to a lifetime of dangerous labor to repay his sins, while Theresia accepted the contribution debts of Sarkaz pardoned under a general amnesty and set out to make amends.

• Talulah silenced opposition to the Sarkaz rebuilding Kazdel by punishing agitators with Peaceful Longbow’s arrows and declaring that Victoria would be governed by her.
• Talulah announced an elected parliament and improved conditions for Victoria’s workers, prompting the crowd to praise her and the Paradise Alliance.
• Theresia refused to execute Theresis, and Talulah bound him with a King’s Vassal Jade Talisman that marked him as a sinner owing an enormous debt.
• Theresia explained that Sarkaz below the black classification would receive amnesty and that Vishdale would lead them in rebuilding their homeland.

• Theresia left to apologize to Victoria’s citizens and calm the Sarkaz, while Theresis fell silent under Vishdale’s accusation.

• Vita and Kiana argued over who would develop Pholos and Earth after Yao Guang offered a guaranteed Two-star Artifact and the chance to become Chen Li's companion.
• Elysia decided to gather allies for the competition, while Cyrene considered asking Chen Li for an Artifact that could rapidly develop worlds.
• Chen Li assigned Sunday to turn Laterano into King's Land, and Sunday agreed because he trusted Chen Li and saw a chance to build a paradise.

• Sunday asked who would control King's Land deployment in New Penacony, prompting Chen Li to consider using tourists to carry boundary markers to other worlds.
• Sunday advocated deploying King's Land in New Penacony before the Holy Grail War ended, but Chen Li told him to go to Laterano instead.

Sunday secured Chen Li’s permission to establish King’s Land in New Penacony for Robin, then warned him that the expanding territories would need capable management.

At a board game shop, Yao Guang worried about Aqua’s plan to place a Boundary Stone in the Aeon of Destruction’s Path and about an unexplained danger she sensed.

• Kal'tsit sent Amiya and the Doctor to investigate New Penacony, and Yao Guang and Fu Xuan decided to return with Chen Li’s group.
• Yao Guang persuaded Fu Xuan to choose an auspicious day for her to apologize to Chen Li, and the group departed Terra through the Friends Circle teleportation function.

• Chen Li answered the call through his terminal, startling Sparkle into silence as one of her masks took control and made her sing.
• A dull thud interrupted Sparkle’s operatic singing.

Chen Li forced Hua Hua to honor her boast of eating noodles upside down, while Fu Xuan and Yao Guang suspected Hua Hua was trying to draw Chen Li into a scheme to take half his assets. Hua Hua began eating in a handstand and asked Chen Li to feed her, hoping the expensive meal might help bind him as her Top Supporter.

• Chen Li proved he could eat the fiery Mapo Tofu Ramen, and Hua Hua claimed the bowl and agreed to finish it after he insisted she keep her promise to eat noodles upside down.
• Yao Guang told Fu Xuan that Hua Hua planned to make Chen Li her Top Supporter and use her skill to take half his assets, prompting Fu Xuan to watch Hua Hua warily.
• Hua Hua moved to the wall and explained that she needed Chen Li to feed her because she had to hold down her skirt while doing a handstand.
• Fu Xuan rose in anger, but Yao Guang pushed her back into her chair and reminded her to act like Chen Li’s principal wife.
• Sparkle performed a handstand, opened her mouth for Chen Li to feed her, and hoped the costly noodles would count toward making him her Top Supporter.

Hua Hua forced herself through a bowl of dangerously spicy Mapo Tofu Ramen while doing a handstand, only for her livestream account to be banned after she finished. Chen Li quickly got the account restored by calling Nian, and Hua Hua then asked him to introduce her to the influential director.

• Chen Li fed Hua Hua the fiery noodles while she ate upside down, and she endured the heat despite burning her eye with chili oil.

Meanwhile, Sparkle’s meal with the floating book was interrupted by a message revealing that a character she had created had taken over her account and was threatening to take everything from her.

• Sparkle realized Chen Li might have official connections and regretted missing the chance to earn an extra Command Seal, then agreed to challenge the second bowl of noodles.
• Fu Xuan raised her Command Spell against Sparkle, but Yao Guang stopped her and sent a group member videos and photos of Sparkle crying and rolling on the floor.
• On New Penacony’s food street, Sparkle struggled to finish a meal alongside a floating book that demanded she keep eating.

• After three failed password attempts, Sparkle’s phone took an embarrassing selfie and played a mocking recording from the character she had created, who threatened to take everything from her.
• Sparkle recognized the floating book beside her and realized the recording’s threat might be directed at her.

Chen Li served Huohua the second bowl in the eating challenge, and its soul-piercing broth shattered the defenses of Sparkle’s many mask personalities. After the masks overwhelmed Sparkle and triggered the Psychological Committee Member’s regression effect, she clung to Chen Li, and a Warning Card appeared above her head.

• Chen Li served Huohua a diluted portion of Judgment of the Hour, whose broth inflicted intense pain on her consciousness and soul.
• Hua Hua, Hua Hua Hua, the Azure-Robed Spark, the hot-tempered big sister, and numerous other mask personalities took turns eating the noodles and collapsing.

• Chen Li recognized the Psychological Committee Member effect and saw a Warning Card appear above Sparkle’s head.

Sparkle resumed her livestream and faced Chen Li’s final bowl of Judgment of the Hour, learning that her previous bowl had been a heavily diluted sample.

• Chen Li told Sparkle that her previous bowl had been made from a teaspoon of the third bowl’s broth diluted in a basin of boiled water.

Hua Hua faced the undiluted bowl of [Judgment of the Hour] while Sparkle tried to stop her from having to drink it, but Sparkle ultimately drank the deadly soup herself as part of a scheme to shift blame onto Spark. Chen Li explained that Sparkle was not protected by the trial’s resurrection easter egg, leaving Spark to realize that her creator might truly die.

• Sparkle appeared beside Yao Guang and rushed to flip the table so Hua Hua would not drink the undiluted [Judgment of the Hour], but Chen Li held it in place.
