• Asuna and Li Yu found the restaurant crowded, so Li Yu went to the Toriko world to collect ingredients for a gathering instead.
• Asagi Aiba brought Erina and the other two back to Boundary University, where Li Yu imparted culinary knowledge to them and put them to work preparing dinner.

• Li Yu offered to take his classmates home, and Xia Yu and the others eagerly agreed so they could set up teleportation marks at their homes.
• Asuna thought about taking Li Yu home to meet her parents and blushed at the prospect.

• Li Yu warned the four that their world might face a world-ending battle, prompting Frenda to grab him and plead to return because her younger sister was there.

Li Yu reassured Mugino Shizuri, Frenda Seivelun, and the others that their families would be safe despite the coming world-ending battle, then returned to oversee Abant’s renovation. As Abant became a self-sufficient base, Einzig and the Ex-Machina began planning a powerful computer and a transformation that would make Abant even stronger.

• Einzig proposed modifying Abant with machine-lifeform technology, and Li Yu agreed after Abant indicated that it was willing to cooperate.

The Ex-Machina transformed Abant into a heavily armed war machine with a supercomputer, while Pandora prepared Li Yu’s next-world identity as a creator who would attract both Nous and Lan.

Li Yu and Pandora arranged teams to explore Genshin Impact and Zenless Zone Zero, while Li Yu led the Flugel and Ex-Machina toward Honkai: Star Rail.

After Li Yu described Cangcheng’s destruction and offered its core, Jing Yuan invited him to stay and become general, but Li Yu declined and pointed toward Fu Xuan instead.

• Jing Yuan and the Luofu officials were astonished when Li Yu revealed he was nineteen and an Emanator of both the Hunt and the Erudition.

• Li Yu told Jing Yuan that World-Devouring Luo had destroyed Cangcheng and that fewer than a hundred people remained before they found a way to leave.

• Jing Yuan invited Li Yu to settle on the Luofu and become its general, but Li Yu said he wanted to travel and suggested Fu Xuan for the position.

• Ms. Herta and Screwllum questioned Li Yu about his combat skills and the unusual Ex-Machina he had created.
• Li Yu showed them magic, explained how mana and spells worked, and taught them to meditate; Ms. Herta successfully produced mana and began imagining ways to expand her power.

• Ms. Herta gave Li Yu Amphoreus's coordinates, and he had Abant set off; he then invited Ms. Herta and Screwllum to study his library of spells.
• Li Yu and Pandora agreed that spreading magic would benefit her influence, so Li Yu sent Jing Yuan and Marshal Hua a file about magic as a possible first step toward introducing it to Xianzhou.

Jing Yuan and Marshal Hua tested Li Yu’s cultivation methods, while Li Yu hosted Herta and Screwllum in his library and considered Pandora’s possible plans for him. Herta became fascinated by the magic books and decided she would introduce Li Yu to Ruan Mei and bring him to the Simulated Universe for testing.

• Marshal Hua cultivated magic power and, suspecting it might help suppress Mara-Struck, began testing the methods herself.
• Jing Yuan also meditated with the new cultivation methods rather than risking other people as test subjects.

• Li Yu identified Lygus as Zandar, stunning Herta, Screwllum, Himeko, and Welt Yang.

• Li Yu told Lygus that emerging unknowns would force Nous to explore again, then asked it to return the Trailblazers to Himeko.
