At the Moon Conference, Su Ze identified a Mythical Grade Contained Object in the Supernatural Alliance whose power was Time Stop. Meanwhile, an assassin attacked Jing Yue at the Violet Family castle, and she pursued them through a spatial rift resembling the Ancient God Hall’s methods.

• Su Ze arrived at the Moon Conference and recognized Dr. Gales as a notably emotionless researcher from the Mechanical Church.

Jing Yue chased an attacker through a spatial rift to the moon but found no trace of them, while Su Ze reviewed a simulation about a divinity-bearing Contained Object and began a new one. The new simulation revealed that the Chaos Tribe had targeted Parallel Blue Star A-36 and that a deep-sea palace called R'lyeh might lie there.

• Jing Yue pursued her attacker through the spatial rift to the moon, but found no sign of them.
• Jing Yue and Lillian discussed whether the attacker might be connected to the United Family or the Ancient God Hall, and Jing Yue decided to keep searching for clues.

Su Ze investigated a simulation revealing R'lyeh and the unusual catastrophe on A-36 Parallel Blue Star, then left to meet Qing Shuang. At the Containment Station, Qing Shuang discussed the difficult-to-decipher Yith technology before Su Ze turned his attention to Tao Yaoyao.

• Su Ze used Father God's Listening to learn that A-36 Parallel Blue Star had suffered Stars Fall, leaving the Great Yan Dynasty as its only surviving nation.

• Nan Xi revealed Qin Yushi’s and Qi Xiaoye’s private titles, and Qin Yushi teased Nan Xi with the nickname Princess Koko.

Luo Ning'er sought protection at Star Ring Company, where Chi Zhiyuan welcomed her after the Chaos Tribe’s pursuers fled. Meanwhile, Su Ze brought a deadly Contained Object to Jing Yue’s castle and destroyed it with one slap.

• Luo Ning'er fled into Star Ring Company as the Chaos Tribe demanded that the guards hand her over.

• Su Ze opened the door, and after the Contained Object unleashed its Mythical Grade energy, he crushed it with one slap.

Luo Ning'er recounted how the Chaos Tribe had conquered the Great Yan Dynasty and enslaved its people, then explained that a mysterious stranger had sent her to seek help from Star Ring Company. Chi Zhiyuan agreed to intervene under terms that would make the dynasty a company branch, and set out with Luo Ning'er to rescue her captured companions.

• Luo Ning'er told Chi Zhiyuan that the Chaos Tribe had devastated the Capital City, forced the Great Yan Dynasty to surrender, and enslaved its people.
• Luo Ning'er described a mysterious stranger's blessing, which teleported her to Star Ring Company's entrance after the Chaos Tribe brought her to the moon.
• Chi Zhiyuan explained that Star Ring Company would take territory and fold the Great Yan Dynasty into the company as a branch, subject to headquarters' authority.
• Luo Ning'er accepted those terms in principle and remembered that Doudou and twenty-seven others were still held by the Chaos Tribe.
• Chi Zhiyuan rose and told Luo Ning'er they would go rescue the captives before it was too late.

Chi Zhiyuan led Star Ring Company to confront the Chaos Tribe, but Su Ze stopped the fight before it could escalate further. Back at Star Ring Company, he told Luo Ning'er that her people had been rescued and asked her to describe who sent her to seek help.

• Chi Zhiyuan led her team to the Chaos Tribe's lunar base, where the tribe attacked them with a wide-ranging Word Spirit Technique that Su Ze extinguished.

• Su Ze told Luo Ning'er that he had used his Advent Talent to send the captured hostages back safely before she escaped.
• Su Ze asked Luo Ning'er to describe the person who had told her to seek help from Star Ring Company.

Su Ze learned little about the mysterious person who had helped Luo Ning'er and used a simulation to investigate R'lyeh, discovering that its Star Kin were too strong for him to defeat. He resolved to run more simulations and build his strength before trying to overcome R'lyeh's aura, then began another simulation.

• Luo Ning'er recalled only that the mysterious person wore a dark robe and probably came from elsewhere, leaving Su Ze unsure whether they were a powerful human or a Contained Object.
• Chi Zhiyuan began planning to merge the Great Yan Dynasty into the company after they rescued its people.
• Su Ze's simulation led him to find Luo Ning'er's biological mother's diary, which described her voyage into the Mysterious Sea and encounter with R'lyeh.
• Su Ze reached R'lyeh in the simulation but fled after a bloody battle with its Star Kin, concluding that he needed a way to suppress the city's aura before he could defeat them.
• Qi Xiaoye brought Su Ze breakfast in a maid outfit, and the two spent time together before he ate and began an Old Days Simulator run.

Su Ze claimed the simulation reward for the World-Ending Alarm Clock and planned to test whether it could counter R'lyeh's aura. In Avalon, the others prepared for a trip to Parallel Blue Star, while Qi Xiaoye, Chen Keqing, and Nan Xi teased one another.

• Su Ze observed the World-Ending Alarm Clock in a simulation, endured its immense pressure, and kept it after deciding its field might counter R'lyeh's power.
• Su Ze claimed the simulation rewards and planned to use the Classic Simulator after its twenty-four-hour cooldown to test the alarm clock against R'lyeh.
• Su Ze reasoned that the alarm clock might block the Old Days Ruler's aura and help him kill Star Kin, gain experience, and strengthen his God Summoning talent.
• Qi Xiaoye admired Chen Keqing's ancient-style outfit as they prepared to travel to Parallel Blue Star with Su Ze.
• Nan Xi teased Qi Xiaoye about sneaking a bite, and Chen Keqing sent them to pack before going to find Su Ze.
• Nan Xi found Bai Fu in her room and learned that Bai Fu's high-permission work badge let her enter the Museum and use its exits at any time.

• Su Ze stayed behind at the residence to examine the box's strange aura while the others went to a lantern festival.
• Su Ze listened to people in the imperial city speculate that the dynasty was gathering martial artists to resist Star Ring Company or strengthen its position in negotiations.

Su Ze opened the Divine Wood Box and discovered a diary describing a doomed voyage to the Mysterious Sea, along with a rough nautical chart. He planned to recreate the voyage only after settling matters at home, then began explaining the chart’s importance to Qing Shuang and Tao Yaoyao.

• Su Ze considered the Great Yan Dynasty’s ignorance of Star Ring Company and the Chaos Tribe, and waited for the Chaos Tribe to make another move.
• Su Ze opened the Divine Wood Box and read a diary recounting a storm-tossed voyage, a monstrous presence beneath the sea, and a gigantic city that drove most of the crew mad.
• Su Ze concluded that the diary’s owner might not have been Luo Ning’er’s mother, though she may have written one of the final messages.
• Su Ze studied the rough sea route and decided to prepare for the Mysterious Sea voyage only after watching over Jiang He and resolving negotiations with the Chaos Tribe.
• Qing Shuang and Tao Yaoyao finished work at the Containment Station headquarters, joined Su Ze, and asked about the voyage map.
• Su Ze began telling Qing Shuang and Tao Yaoyao that he was the only one who had seen what was inside the box.

• Su Ze exaggerated the danger of his sea journey to prompt Tao Yaoyao to kiss him, and Qing Shuang realized he had been teasing her.
• Qing Shuang met Nan Xi outside, then hurried her away after discovering Tao Yaoyao under the table with Su Ze.

• Su Ze endured the alarm clock's powerful field and turned it off, causing the field to disappear.
• Su Ze drew the alarm clock into the Museum and set a mechanical arm to press its button every eleven minutes.

Qing Shuang and Nan Xi discussed Bai Fu’s departure and the strange daylight while Su Ze reviewed a simulation that revealed R'lyeh was only a partial projection and the World-Ending Alarm Clock could resist its aura. The chapter ended with Luo Ning'er telling Jing Yue that her parents had accepted the company’s new policies.

• Nan Xi told Qing Shuang that Bai Fu had gone out to explore the planet, and Qing Shuang speculated that Su Ze knew why the sky had normal sunrises and sunsets.
• Su Ze returned with Qi Xiaoye to find Chen Keqing and Qin Yushi still asleep, then checked the World-Ending Alarm Clock in the Old Days Museum.
• Su Ze’s simulation showed that the alarm clock could resist R'lyeh’s aura, that R'lyeh was likely a partial projection, and that he would later face the Chaos Tribe and the Great Fog.
• Su Ze considered running more simulations before setting out to sea and smiled when he reread the fifth day’s entry about Nan Xi.
• Luo Ning'er returned to Jing Yue at the imperial palace and reported that her parents had agreed to the company’s new policies.
