After Lumine and the others rushed off to train, Ye Yun and the others finished building the Cloud Kingdom, and the children began enjoying its amusement park.

Aglaea proposed that Stelle inherit Oronis's Core Flame as protection for the Pilgrimage of Fire, while Mimi surprised everyone by speaking after spending days reading in the library.

• Furina ran out of engines for a new car, so Hu Tao suggested that the group play in the Koukou Racing instance instead.

• Aglaea explained that she and Cipher had returned to Amphoreus to fill vacant positions after the Council of Elders was uprooted.

• Mimi appeared and spoke haltingly, revealing that she had spent the past few days reading books in the library.
• Aglaea and Cipher visited Aglaea's clothing shop on the train, where Aglaea collected more than three hundred high-value bulk orders.

Cipher took outsourced tailoring orders from Aglaea to earn Credits, while Furina, Stelle, Hu Tao, and the others learned the required pre-race dance in Flying Car World and began their first race. The race started on Old Street Pipeline, where Amber entered a shortcut and Kiana and Hu Tao collided at its entrance.

• Cipher accepted more than a dozen tailoring orders from Aglaea and promised to deliver them by noon the next day.

• The group began the Old Street Pipeline race, and Amber took a shortcut while Kiana and Hu Tao collided trying to follow her.

After Stelle bragged about her racing record, Ye Yun challenged her to a race in the Koukou Racing instance. Ye Yun used expert drifting and boosts to leave Stelle far behind, astonishing the spectators.

• At dinner, Stelle and the others explained the Koukou Racing instance to Jing Yuan, who decided it was better suited to younger players.
• Stelle showed Ye Yun her three-minute Chinatown record, and Ye Yun challenged her to race.

Murata Himeko rejected Ruan Mei’s offer to buy Natlan’s dragons but agreed to let her collect creature cells, earning Natlan twenty million Credits. The next day, Murata Himeko and Shinon discussed investing in Snezhnaya’s Ice and Snow World project before Asmoday summoned the Archons to a meeting.

• Murata Himeko refused to sell Natlan’s dragon clans, then agreed to let Ruan Mei collect cells from Natlan’s creatures for payment.
• Ruan Mei spent twenty million Credits collecting samples, and Murata Himeko decided to inspect Snezhnaya’s project with Shinon.
• Barnabas proposed a three-phase Ice and Snow World project, offering Murata Himeko and Shinon a forty percent share in exchange for investment.
• Murata Himeko and Shinon deferred their decision until the next day after Barnabas explained the project’s costs and planned company advertising.
• Asmoday summoned Teyvat’s gods and former gods to a meeting, telling Nahida to stay home, and began by asking everyone to report on their nations’ development.

Asmoday assigned Liyue and Fontaine to help Natlan and Snezhnaya develop, while the nations discussed how their stars and entertainment businesses earned money. A racing competition on the Seer drew enthusiastic players, but Diamond warned the company directors that its project belonged to the same mysterious client behind the Elf Competition.

• Focalors and Greater Lord Rukkhadevata explained that Furina’s fame and merchandise helped Fontaine earn more than two hundred million a day.

Aglaea bought Mydei and Xiadie divinities from Ye Yun, while Phainon deferred buying his until they had earned more Credits. After absorbing their divinities, Mydei lost his weakness and Xiadie learned to control her death energy.

• Diamond ended the meeting and told Jade to promote the racing tournament so Ye Yun would see the company had handled the matter.
• Stelle, Hu Tao, Firefly, and Kiana raced against ordinary people in the Koukou Racing world, with Stelle showing off her side drifts.
• Aglaea asked Ye Yun for suitable divinities for Mydei, Xiadie, and Phainon, and Ye Yun showed them three options from the System Shop.
• Phainon told Aglaea to buy divinities for Mydei and Xiadie first, so she spent 400,000 Credits on the God of War and Hades divinities.
• Mydei and Xiadie absorbed their divinities, and Mydei said his weakness was gone while Xiadie sensed underworld energy.
• Ye Yun had Jashin-chan bring a live chicken, and Xiadie touched it without killing it, confirming that Hades Divinity helped her control her death energy.

• Xiadie asked Aglaea for a day off and invited Stelle, Kiana, and the others to go shopping in Penacony.
• Hu Tao, Stelle, Kiana, and the others met Xiadie at Ye Yun's shop, then took her to SoulSoda Park in Penacony.
• Mydei returned to Ochema's gates and fought Flame Reaver, who was surprised by Mydei's new technique and failed to exploit his supposed fatal weakness.
• Flame Reaver summoned clones to overwhelm Mydei, but Aglaea's pigeons kept the clones occupied while Phainon joined the fight.
• Mydei and Phainon coordinated their attacks and forced Flame Reaver onto the defensive, intending to interrogate him for intelligence.

Flame Reaver fled after Mydei and Phainon drove him off, while Anaxa’s investigation on Dawn Cloud Cliff led him to suspect the Titans were former Chrysos Heirs. Meanwhile, Xiadie and her friends spent a joyful day singing karaoke and watching the sunset in Penacony, leaving Anaxa’s call unanswered.

• Flame Reaver escaped Mydei and Phainon, and Aglaea sent the Dove of Peace to follow him and search for his lair.
• Aglaea sent Phainon back to Okhema to restore order while Mydei rested at the city gate.
• Anaxa climbed Dawn Cloud Cliff, concluded that the Titans had been Chrysos Heirs from the previous Pilgrimage of Fire, and took a piece of Kephale’s body for experiments.
• Anaxa called Xiadie to ask for her help investigating the netherworld, but she missed the call while singing karaoke with Stelle and their friends.
• Stelle and the group left the KTV, walked through Penacony’s Golden Hour, and watched the sunset together at Firefly’s secret base.

Stelle and the others helped Xiadie find a way to fulfill her duty in the underworld without losing contact with her friends. After they accompanied her there with a Teleportation Portal, Ye Yun sent Puni to investigate a girl in a wheelchair.

• Stelle invited Xiadie to move into the treehouse, but Xiadie declined because she needed to protect Okhema.
• Anaxa asked Xiadie to visit the underworld and verify whether the known Titans had been Chrysos Heirs in the previous Pilgrimage of Fire, but Xiadie feared inheriting the Death Titan's authority would trap her there.
• Kiana and the others learned about Xiadie's fate, and Hu Tao suggested they ask Ye Yun whether a Teleportation Portal would work in the underworld.
• Ye Yun confirmed that the portal would let Xiadie return to his shop, so Stelle, Hu Tao, Firefly, and the others accompanied Xiadie to the underworld.
• Ye Yun asked Puni to investigate the underworld and find a girl in a wheelchair.

Xiadie and her companions reached the underworld, where she learned that her twin sister Polysea had been separated from her by the laws of death. With a divinity delivered by Peni, the sisters reunited as two demigods of death, and the group pooled money to pay for the gift.

• Xiadie gathered wandering souls into an underworld gateway, and Mimi helped Stelle use a prayer altar to reveal the past as the group traveled toward the underworld.
• The group defeated the death incarnation Polyxus and was sent to the true underworld, where Xiadie met Polysea, her identical twin sister.
• Polysea explained that she had sacrificed herself for Xiadie, but Xiadie later sent her soul out of the underworld as Polyxus, causing the underworld to reject wandering souls.
• Peni arrived with a divinity from Ye Yun, and Xiadie gave the Hades Divinity to Polysea so both sisters could remain together as demigods of death.
• Peni said the divinity cost 200,000 star coins, so Stelle and the others pooled the money and gave it to him to take back.

Stelle and the others explored the underworld while Anaxa returned the Rational Titan's Core Flame and used Water of Life to extend his life. Ye Yun entered the Delta Dungeon on a temporary mission, where he discovered the AI soldiers were dangerous and killed one at a fire station.

• Ye Yun encountered a shield-bearing AI soldier at the Tourist Center, escaped its gunfire, and fled when it called for support.
• Ye Yun ambushed and killed a patrolling Asala Soldier at the fire station, then opened the box it left behind and saw the supplies were worth thousands or tens of thousands of Credits.

Ye Yun found a valuable Room Keycard, fought through the Delta Dungeon, and evacuated with enough loot to complete every mission. After receiving a million Star Coins, a Shop Expansion Card, a Law Fragment, and permanent dungeon access, he moved everyone out of the shop so he could upgrade it.

• Ye Yun searched the Main Power Station and found a red Room Keycard for the East Building Manager's Office, worth four million.
• Ye Yun fought the Asala soldiers at the Main Power Station, then cleared the Sub-Power Station and Cement Factory.
• Ye Yun evacuated successfully with supplies worth 4.23 million and fifteen kills, completing all four missions.
• Ye Yun received one million Star Coins, a Shop Expansion Card, and a Law Fragment; the fragment absorbed into him and increased his strength more than threefold.
• Ye Yun led the others to the Observation Car and prepared to announce that the Teleportation Portal would be unavailable during the shop upgrade.

Ye Yun finished renovating his shop, making it ten times larger, and introduced the Delta Dungeon. Stelle, Lumine, and Kiana entered its Dam Zero map together, where robot guards quickly attacked them.

• Ye Yun warned the chat group that the Teleportation Portal would be unavailable for six hours during the shop renovation.
• After the upgrade, Ye Yun showed everyone the enlarged shop, with new gathering areas, a bigger kitchen and dining room, and a playground.
• Ye Yun announced the Delta Dungeon, and thirty people gathered to enter its first available map, Dam Zero.
