Chen Li arranged for Jing Yuan to make him clothes from Xianzhou Alliance Omens and learned that the Stigmata War was producing many original Stigmata with the ability to strengthen their holders. He left the chapter weighing how Stigmata should be distributed and used, while the Cocoon of Eternity’s system began supporting humanity across the Solar System.

• Chen Li explained that the Game Life Miracle Card turned special actions into games, then let Gabriel borrow it to help her defeat the Golden Tree Guardian in Elden Ring.
• Gabriel’s challenge became a rhythm game, which she failed, demonstrating that the card could not guarantee success.

Chen Li, Vill-V, and Elysia visited Mobius after she fused with the Gluttonous Snake, each eager to test the results in their own way. Mobius explained how the fusion worked and why she had killed the otherwise immortal creature, while Chen Li showed little interest in its diminished traits.

• Chen Li put the Slap Gloves and Wish Granting up as public Miraculous Items, and Sunday’s use of the gloves earned Chen Li over two thousand Starstones.

• Chen Li ate one of the Gluttonous Snake’s leftover cubes and told Mobius he did not care about the creature’s weakened traits; Mobius then asked whether he wanted the traits of the world-inverting cat either.

• Chen Li and Elysia helped Mobius test whether her projection could kill her, and Mobius shrank into a child after her projection touched her mouth.

• Pardo warned Chen Li about the Poisonous Snake Gang, and Chen Li approached one of its members and tossed him a Karma Coin.

As Pardo woke and learned she remained the weakest Fusion Warrior, another Herrscher alarm sounded, and Chen Li went to investigate the Fourth Great Honkai.

• Chen Li teleported Pardo to Fu Hua, where Pardo threw the Fourth Herrscher and disrupted her control enough for Fu Hua to defeat her.
• Chen Li explained Pardo’s new anti-Herrscher ability and gave her the Twin of the Other Shore Miraculous Item, which she could use with Canned Food to swap places with him.

Chen Li used a robe sewn with Alliance Omens to stop Fu Xuan from punishing him and Qingque, then tried to disarm Fu Xuan by appealing to their connection. Fu Xuan reflected on her feelings for Chen Li and waited to see what he would do next.

• Pardo sold a hundred jars and reached level 9 before Fu Xuan arrived at the Tai Bu Division, ready to confront Chen Li.

Chen Li gave Fu Xuan a pain-reflecting ring and collected the payment she had promised, while Pardo used Fu Xuan’s attempt to find a gold bar to advance her Mysterious Merchant class. The chapter ended when Chen Li, Fu Xuan, and Pardo heard a buzzing sound and looked toward the sky.

• Chen Li introduced himself to Fu Xuan and offered her the Ring of Suffering, which absorbed her constant pain from the divine eye and reflected pain onto attackers.
