Su Ze warned Bai Fu and Chi Zhiyuan not to personally intervene on C-131 because it might hold secrets of the Elder Ones and a demigod named Abel. That night, a mysterious voice tempted resentful survivors across different cities to sacrifice themselves and summon something, while others woke with only vague memories of their dreams.

• Su Ze sensed that bewitched people had begun sacrificing themselves to summon Black Goat Spawn, while others resisted the voices in their dreams.

• Black Goat Spawn descended in cities around the world, spreading terror among residents and overwhelming ordinary defenses with their aura.

Su Ze resolved the Black Goat Spawn disaster and returned to Avalon, where Jing Yue reflected on her recovered memories before learning that something had happened to Chi Zhiyuan. At the royal palace on Parallel Blue Star C-131, Prince Hata killed his father and activated a purple crystal that teleported Bai Fu, Chi Zhiyuan, Elina, and the others to an unfamiliar place.

• Su Ze explained that the Black Goat Spawn had been summoned by young cultists through an unrepeatable ritual, then finished dealing with the threat and returned to Avalon with Qin Yushi.
• Jing Yue left Su Ze and Qin Yushi alone, reflected on her newly recovered childhood memories, and wondered why the Ancient God Hall was restoring them.
• Su Ze alerted Jing Yue that something had happened to Chi Zhiyuan, while Bai Fu and Chi Zhiyuan arrived at the royal palace on Parallel Blue Star C-131.
• Elina reported that the royal family had information about an ancient underwater city and an object called the Elder Ones Crystal.
• Prince Hata denounced his father for opposing Star Ring Company, had him beheaded, and summoned a purple crystal.
• Chi Zhiyuan tried to resist the crystal's teleportation force, but it swept her, Bai Fu, Elina, and the others into an unfamiliar space.

After Prince Hata trapped the Star Alliance delegation in an ancient underground space, Chi Zhiyuan killed one Shoggoth but faced a swarm of them. As Chi Zhiyuan and Bai Fu prepared to defend themselves, Bai Fu speculated that they may have had a serious grudge when they were demigods.

• Elina, Chi Zhiyuan, Bai Fu, and the Star Alliance delegation found themselves trapped in a vast ruin-filled space, unable to contact Su Ze or escape.
• A Shoggoth attacked the delegation, and Chi Zhiyuan killed it with her Immortal Sword.
• More Shoggoths poured from the surrounding passages, so Chi Zhiyuan ordered the delegation to form a defensive line and told Bai Fu to stay close.
• Bai Fu offered to take on the monsters using the ability of Immortal and Indestructible, then said she suspected she and Chi Zhiyuan had once held a significant grudge as demigods.

• Su Ze used his Advent Talent to return everyone to the royal palace, where they found the palace reduced to ruins.
• Su Ze sent Chi Zhiyuan and the others back to the moon, then recognized the brown-skinned Demigod Grade man before him as Abel.

Su Ze fought Abel, a powerful demigod who became violently aggressive around humans, while the battle's force devastated C-131 Parallel Blue Star. Su Ze returned to Chi Zhiyuan's room and revealed that Abel was immortal and indestructible.

• Su Ze tested Abel with a demigod-grade arrow, and Abel blocked most of the attack with a Holy Sword.
• Su Ze unleashed his Guardian God Phantom against Abel, and their battle unleashed catastrophic forces across C-131 Parallel Blue Star.
• The five major factions detected the battle, while Chi Zhiyuan showed Bai Fu and Jing Yue a blurry projection of the fighting.
• Bai Fu watched as C-131 collapsed and perished, and the violent energy fluctuations then disappeared.
• Su Ze returned to Chi Zhiyuan's room and explained that Abel was a powerful demigod who became aggressive around humans and was immortal and indestructible.

Su Ze explained Abel’s resurrection and suspected the Veiled Society had engineered his awakening to target him, while the destruction of C-131 drew interest from the Mechanical Church and Kukes University. The Faceless Man and Mystic Tortoise realized their Stone Coffin plan had triggered the catastrophe but doubted it had killed Su Ze, and expected Dr. Yucuriri to devise another plan.

• Su Ze told Chi Zhiyuan, Jing Yue, and Bai Fu that Abel revived inside a Stone Coffin and recounted how Abel had awakened and attacked C-131.
• Su Ze suspected the Veiled Society had deliberately sent Abel after him, while Bai Fu asked whether killing Abel could grant a Demigod Authority and Su Ze said he had received no reward.
• Su Ze and Bai Fu joked about the Star Alliance needing new backup planets after C-131’s destruction, and Su Ze teased Bai Fu about a hollow-knit sweater.

• The Faceless Man and Mystic Tortoise concluded that a demigod battle had destroyed C-131 and that their Stone Coffin had taken effect, but they doubted Su Ze had been killed and expected Dr. Yucuriri to make another plan.
