He and the Shinobi World Alliance set out to explore the Uzumaki sacred ground, unaware that an Otsutsuki scout ship had already detected the legacy signal and dispatched an advance team.

• As the palace's self-destruct countdown began, Lin Ye ordered the group to gather the Uzumaki scrolls and Karin copied the Six Paths Heaven-Sealing Earth-Locking formula.
• Kinshiki and Urashiki blocked the exit and demanded the Eye of Prophecy and the Legacy System's core, so Lin Ye summoned the souls of Kagami, Shisui, Fugaku, and Mikoto to hold them back.
• Lin Ye froze time and space briefly, letting the four Uchiha souls detonate themselves and drive the Otsutsuki back, while Urashiki's hook pierced Lin Ye's shoulder.

Lin Ye and his allies fought Kinshiki, Urashiki, and the Otsutsuki corpse, then escaped through a hidden teleportation array. The corpse planned Momoshiki’s descent in three days and used Lin Ye’s Kāma mark to track him.

• Urashiki attacked Lin Ye with his hook while Kinshiki wounded Naruto and sent Sakura flying, and the corpse targeted Sasuke and Karin.

After Lin Ye recovered from an Otsutsuki tracking mark, the People of the Stars arrived seeking an alliance against Momoshiki Otsutsuki. Lin Ye and his allies began training in a time-sealing barrier on Star-Celestial Island, where they had twenty-one days to prepare before Momoshiki arrived.

• The Ōtsutsuki King learned of Momoshiki’s defeat, ordered the Third and Sixth Fleets to attack, and informed a mysterious lord that the key had appeared.

Lin Ye and the others considered traveling to the Ring of Oaths to seek allies and intelligence, but learned that a damaged spacecraft carrying a People of the Stars distress signal was being chased nearby. After Karin detected a faint connection to Zhixue aboard the ship, Lin Ye led a rescue mission, while warning that the pursuit might be a trap.

• Stardust identified a pulsing distress signal on Zhixue’s star chart as coming from the Ring of Oaths, the lost station of the Starfire Covenant.
• Karin proposed using a repaired Stargate to shorten the journey to the Ring of Oaths, but Stardust said the Starwell lacked the energy and resources to activate one.

• Lin Ye decided to rescue the spacecraft’s occupants and prepare for a possible trap.
• Karin sensed weak life signs and precognitive fluctuations linked to Zhixue aboard the spacecraft, and Lin Ye ordered Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, and Karin to deploy on the Dawnbringer.

Lin Ye and the Dawnbringer rescued the Stargazers from Otsutsuki scouts, then learned their prophecy pointed to Lin Ye and Karin as key figures in an approaching catastrophe. After Xingli annihilated a Hunter-class warship with the Wrath of the Stars, the group rushed toward Star-Celestial Island while a mysterious figure watched them from afar.

As they prepared to evacuate Star-Celestial Island for Dust-Hidden Star and repair a stargate, the Watcher dispatched Eclipse Bone and Star-Burner to capture Xingli and Lin Ye.

• Karin and Sakura reported that Xingli remained alive but was suffering from a powerful corruption that they could not cure, and Karin suspected it carried a tracking mark.
• Elder Mo Chen revealed the Star Prophecy Tablet and Myriad Stars Compass, and Karin helped decipher a prophecy identifying the Watcher, the Seven Covenant Stars, and the Ring of Oaths as vital to survival.
• Elder Mo Chen explained that the Watcher controlled the kāma system and that Xingli had glimpsed Reaper fleets mobilizing after the Watcher was alerted by Lin Ye's actions.

As the danger on Dust-Hidden Star passed, Lin Ye glimpsed a mysterious figure beneath an enormous God Tree and wondered whether it was the Watcher.

• Star-Burner attacked the Dawnbringer while Eclipse Bone’s Death Erosion drained the crew, and Naruto and Sasuke helped Lin Ye breach Star-Burner’s defenses.
• Lin Ye damaged Star-Burner’s warship with World-Cleansing Judgment, but Eclipse Bone unleashed a powerful Death Erosion beam against him.

After repairing the Stargate with energy drawn through the Myriad Stars Compass, Lin Ye and his allies departed Dust-Hidden Star for the Ring of Oaths, while the presence at the Silent Throne prepared to begin its feast.

• Karin connected to a damaged auxiliary system, which revealed that the high priest had activated the Silent Veil to conceal the Ark’s launch and that the Ark’s authorization and location depended on the key.
• The auxiliary system warned that the Watcher was searching for Lin Ye, whose soul and system made him the key to the Ark, and suggested that Xingli’s mark could be a trap.
• Lin Ye released his unique power at the sealed gate, and its defenses recognized him and opened the way to Between the Star Cores.
• The Watcher sensed the beacon’s activation and ordered the Faceless One and Dreamweaver to reclaim Lin Ye.
