Li Yu struck a deal with Kaguya and Eirin, breaking the Time Prison that had stalled their growth in exchange for blood, an Hourai Elixir batch, and future work.

• Li Yu sent Asuna, Sakayori Iroha, Misaki Shokuhou, and the others through the Dimensional Rift to investigate Spirits in this world.

• Asagi Aiba located Kurumi Tokisaki, the Time Spirit, on surveillance footage and called her, causing her voice to reach Kurumi directly.

Asagi Aiba contacted Kurumi Tokisaki with news that her best friend was alive and promised a meeting after the group took over DEM Industries. Asuna and the others began seizing the organization, but their plan met resistance from Ellen Mira Mathers when the transport carrying the Second Spirit arrived.

• Asagi Aiba told Kurumi Tokisaki that her best friend was alive and invited her to meet after DEM Industries was taken over, and Kurumi agreed to come investigate.
• Sakayori Iroha explained that Li Yu could not enter the world without risking its destruction, while Asuna prepared to capture DEM Industries' leadership and use Shokuhou Misaki to control arriving personnel.
• The transport reached the base, and Shokuhou Misaki took control of its Realizer-equipped guards as the Second Spirit's coffin was unloaded.
• Shokuhou Misaki failed to control Ellen Mira Mathers, so Kato Megumi destroyed Ellen's Realizer and knocked out the people aboard the transport.
• Asuna and the others surrounded Ellen, and Shokuhou Misaki taunted her after she lost access to her Realizer.

• Asagi Aiba disabled the headquarters' electronics while Shokuhou Misaki controlled the people they encountered, and Ellen led the group to Westcott's office.
• Shokuhou Misaki weakened Westcott but struggled to control him, so Asuna beheaded him and the group took over DEM Industries.

After DEM Industries fell under Asuna’s group’s control, Asuna explained their otherworldly mission to Kurumi Tokisaki and Nia Honjo, who agreed to travel to the Main World. Yun Shu brought them through the passage to Abant, where they set out to meet Li Yu.

Li Yu then visited the Sea of Quanta with Jhana and Al-chan, where the Twin Goddesses were nearing completion of a new world and asked when he planned to reveal it.

• Li Yu returned to Herta Space Station and gave Hourai Elixirs to Ruan Mei and Big Herta, but Equilibrium sent an enormous hand to destroy them.

Li Yu used his power to shield Herta Space Station while the Aeons fought, then brought the Twin Goddesses of Creation and Terminus into the Universe. The goddesses defeated Equilibrium and cut off its ambition to become the Universe’s will, while Li Yu sent Lan away with a request to act alongside the Xianzhou.

• Equilibrium attacked Li Yu and Herta Space Station over the immortality drug, but Li Yu shifted the station into a different space-time so the attacks could not reach it.

After restoring Herta's space station, Li Yu told Herta and the other geniuses about the Xianzhou's homeland in another universe and invited them to help explore and develop it. Herta, Ruan Mei, Screwllum, and Asta grew interested as preparations began, while Li Yu boarded the Astral Express with Jhana and Al-chan.

Li Yu brought the Xianzhou partnership proposal to the authorities, then took Herta and her companions to Earth, where Lygus learned it could seek Pandora’s approval to become an Aeon. At the Academy of Sciences, Lala and Vill-V’s dangerous spatial experiment prompted Li Yu to question what they were building and why.

• Li Yu reported the proposed arrangements between the Xianzhou and Pandora to an elderly official, then left the negotiations to them.
• Herta asked Li Yu to take her to the laboratory on Earth, and Lygus asked whether it could become a new Aeon; Pandora said it could try if its Path suited her wishes.
• Li Yu explained that ascension required the world’s recognition, and Herta and the others accepted the condition before following him through a passage to the Academy of Sciences.
• A machine built by Lala and Vill-V unleashed a spatial storm, which Li Yu suppressed before demanding to know what they were doing.
• Lala explained that the Spatial Generator could create Spacequakes to clear land in the Gourmet World without damaging its geology, and Li Yu suggested asking the two spirits to help instead.

Li Yu stopped Lala and Vill-V from pursuing a dangerous experiment and learned that Pandora had unleashed Honkai against a civilization in deep space. He later discovered that his connection to Azathoth was essential to the path of Chaos, and that he had already obtained two of its three divided powers.

• Li Yu warned Lala and Vill-V against dangerous experiments, told them to keep away from deep space, and destroyed their machine.
• Li Yu helped Herta return to the space station and agreed to pick up Lala’s sisters, Momo and Nana, when they arrived.
• Li Yu learned that Nia and the others had brought back another spirit, apparently Yoshino, and sent Xia Yu a message.
• Li Yu found Nyaruko and Kuuko and asked them to take back the power of Azathoth inside him, but they refused.
• Nyaruko explained that Li Yu needed Azathoth’s power to reach Chaos and revealed that he had two of its three divided parts, with the last expected to come looking for him.

Nyaruko and Kuuko explained that they gave Li Yu Azathoth’s source power because he followed the path of chaos, making him its likely successor, while assuring him Pandora supported their choice. After Xia Yu returned with Yoshino and reported on the search for the Spirits, Li Yu suggested sending Elysia to deal with Miku.

• Li Yu asked Nyaruko who held the remaining shares of Azathoth’s power, and she said Yog-Sothoth and the Black Goat Mother had them.
• Kuuko and Nyaruko revealed that they chose Li Yu because he walked the same path as Azathoth and hoped he would one day control chaos.
• Nyaruko assured Li Yu that Pandora supported the plan and that they would not harm him, so he left.

• Xia Yu returned with Yoshino and told Li Yu that the search teams were looking for the Yamai Sisters, Muku Hoshimiya, Natsumi, and Miku.
• Li Yu suggested that Xia Yu send Elysia to handle Miku.

Li Yu sent Elysia to the Date A Live world to meet and bring back Miku, a Spirit who hated boys. Elysia left eager for the mission, while Xia Yu warned Yoshino not to be fooled by her tricks.

• Xia Yu questioned whether Elysia would accept Li Yu’s plan, so Li Yu summoned her from her travels.

• Pandora helped Lan spread its Path throughout many worlds, and then sent it to a remote star system to transform into a god of Judgment.
