• Shiroyasha returned to Li Yu and told him the arrangements were complete, and Li Yu said they should inform their North Area hosts.

Shiroyasha stopped arguing with Li Yu after he warned that Honkai could affect the sun, then left thinking about asking him for a Divinity. Li Yu began training Izayoi in a time-distorted space, beating him while healing his injuries and pushing him to prepare for Azi Dahaka.

• Shiroyasha accepted that Honkai might affect her as a solar Star Spirit and decided to seek a Divinity from Li Yu later.

After Izayoi proved ready, Li Yu summoned eleven pseudo-Herrscher and left him to fight them; Izayoi found his powers sealed and targeted the Herrscher of Binding first.

• Izayoi exploited the Herrschers’ poor adaptability to destroy the Herrscher of Binding and the Herrscher of the Void, after which Li Yu empowered the remaining pseudo-Herrschers and sent them against him.
• Li Yu returned to Asuna and the others, told them their training had lasted half a month, and opened a passage so they could leave; only half a day had passed outside.
• The group returned to No Name, washed and ate, while Izayoi emerged battered after surviving the Herrscher of Flame’s self-destruction and complained to Li Yu.
• Izayoi asked Li Yu about a Falna that could accelerate healing, and Li Yu suggested seeking the Aeon of The Abundance while keeping the plan secret from Lan.

Li Yu took Izayoi and Mahiru Shiina to meet Yaoshi, where all three received the Path of Abundance and Mahiru became an Emanator. After they returned to Little Garden, Li Yu forged Mahiru’s wheat into a Godhead armament and discovered the Little Garden Central Hub was responding to Pandora’s influence.

• Izayoi asked whether following the Path of Abundance would change his species, and Li Yu reassured him that it would not.
• Li Yu brought Izayoi and Mahiru Shiina to Yaoshi, who gave each of them an ear of wheat and opened the Path of Abundance to them.
• Mahiru Shiina became an Emanator of Abundance, and Lan’s attacks soon destroyed the star system as he pursued Yaoshi.
• Li Yu returned with Izayoi and Mahiru to Little Garden, where he fused Mahiru’s wheat into her staff and created a Godhead armament.
• Li Yu fused his own wheat into his weapon and sensed that the Little Garden Central Hub had changed under Pandora’s influence.

Li Yu made Izayoi a recovery Falna from the Abundance wheat stalk while the group rested for the Fire Dragon Birth Festival.

• Shiroyasha declined Li Yu's invitation to fight, then warned him that the Upper Floors' visitors might expose his group; Li Yu said he was willing to tell them about their world.

Li Yu and Shiroyasha gathered exotic ingredients in the Gourmet World before setting out with No Name for the North Area and the Fire Dragon Birth Festival.

• Shiroyasha led Li Yu's group through the Boundary Gate to the North Area, where they saw crowds, vendors, and Gift Games before heading to meet the organizers.

Li Yu and No Name's group visited Salamandra during its Fire Dragon Birth Festival, where Li Yu rejected the former alliance because Salamandra had treated No Name poorly after its decline. Sandora tried to preserve a friendly relationship, while Li Yu and his companions prepared to use the festival as a chance to harvest Falna.

• Li Yu told Black Rabbit to stay quiet about No Name's former alliance with Salamandra, and the others agreed that Salamandra's past treatment of No Name had made the alliance meaningless.
• Li Yu teleported the group near Salamandra's headquarters, where Xia Yu, Kasukabe Yō, and the others dispersed to harvest Falna at the festival.
• Shiroyasha brought Li Yu and Izayoi to meet Sandora and Mandela, and introduced them as members of No Name without calling them allies.
• Mandela offered Salamandra's support as an ally, but Li Yu pointed out that Salamandra had not recognized the alliance before and declared it over.
• Sandora accepted Li Yu's decision and offered to help him and his companions as honored guests, while Mandela stayed silent about the lost alliance.
