Ye Buyu and the others used the Rift’s Flagship to ambush the calamities, but Weier exposed Hold Up the Heavens as the group behind the operation. As the factions prepared to drive out the calamities, the Dark Abyss Calamity Dynasty decided to approach Hold Up the Heavens for information about the Rift.
The Second Seat of the Salvation Hall of Fame, Water Mirror Heart Tide, asked [Fear] to stop [War] in the Lost Legion and warned the Two Calamities not to provoke Hold Up the Heavens. Elsewhere, a girl entered Black Plague Headquarters to watch Ji Wangsheng and the figure in the coffin.
Ying Ruxing warned [Plague] that [War] had appeared and that Hold Up the Heavens was under the Salvation Hall of Fame’s protection. Little Whale rushed to Ye Buyu during the battle, urged an immediate retreat, and the fleet withdrew into the Primordial Beginning Tower as [War] threatened to emerge.
Ye Buyu and the others questioned Little Whale about [War], then used its screen to watch Ku Rong report on a battle between fourteenth-tier Calamities. As the Primordial Beginning Tower evacuated the area, a vast light screen appeared and an overwhelming roar froze the Calamities who had stayed behind.
[War] descended into the ruined Star Domain and battled Weier, growing stronger as conflict and slaughter spread. Just as he prepared to kill her and the Rift, a newcomer wielding an overwhelming aura of fear arrived and stopped his blade.
[War] and [Fear] unleashed a Fourteenth Tier battle that shattered the Star Domain and forced the Rift's Calamities to flee. Ye Buyu and her companions vanished from their seats and were transported in the box to an unknown destination, where Ye Buyu worried about what awaited them.
Ye Buyu and the others returned to Cangyuan nearly a thousand years later and found the planet destroyed. With Mu Bingge’s Water Mirror, they witnessed the past and learned how internal exploitation, Calamity Breeders, and attacks on the Central Hub had weakened Cangyuan before its final fall.
Ye Buyu discovered that an army of Calamities had attacked Cangyuan through the Gray Mist, and Cangyuan learned that a planet he had once supported may have helped destroy his home. Overcome by rage, he began his revenge by attacking that planet and killing those he identified as conspirators.
Cangyuan and his allies destroyed the Calamities who were sacrificing Cangyuan Star, while the young general resolved to expose the civilization’s betrayal. Cangyuan set out to pursue those responsible, and Ye Buyu and the others joined him to investigate the Gray Mist and seek revenge.
Cangyuan hunted those responsible for Cangyuan’s destruction and confronted the elves, whose empress admitted that they had helped destroy his world so they could become Calamities. Wan Lan killed the empress, and a descending Mo Dao began splitting apart the elves’ planet.
Lou Guanshan and Cangyuan’s forces destroyed the elven main planet after discovering that its Calamities had enslaved and sacrificed the satellite planets’ population for power. Ye Buyu rescued an infant during the battle and learned from Water Mirror that elves remained infants until age twenty.
Ye Buyu explained Hold Up the Heavens’ future origins and her plan to gather exceptionally gifted Awakened, while the group witnessed the destruction of Cangyuan’s homeworld and helped kindle hope among its survivors. They followed Cangyuan to a technologically advanced planet, where he went to seek answers and the others paused to enjoy its peaceful everyday life.
Ye Buyu and the others encountered Rong Fan and tried to bring him along, while Cangyuan met Wu Yan, who decided to launch an operation against the enemy threatening Withered Star. The chapter ended with Rong Fan recognizing the six as the calamity.
Ye Buyu and the Six met Wu Yan at Withered Star’s Central Hub and proposed forming a secret organization to fight the growing Calamity threat. Rong Fan challenged their plan, but Ye Buyu demonstrated how outmatched Withered Star was against even ordinary high-level Calamities.
Ye Buyu and Mu Bingge invited Wu Yan and the others to join the Salvation Hall of Fame to resist the Calamities threatening the Withered Star. After Water Mirror and Cangyuan joined, Ye Buyu discovered a mysterious red thread that could guide her to recruits, then led the group to confront a mutiny on the Withered Star's Third Affiliated Star.
Ye Buyu and her companions traced the gray mist’s influence to a sealed Star Domain, where they found the Whale of Wailing bound among Planet Remains. While Ye Buyu stayed behind to save it, the others broke into the next Star Domain and confronted the beast behind the gray mist.
Su Wuwei, Wan Lan, Mu Bingge, Kou Ying, and Lou Guanshan battered the Gray Mist beast without giving it a chance to unleash its Law-Dissolution Tree. After the roots disrupted Kou Ying’s energy and a survivor explained their danger, Wan Lan and Su Wuwei began attacking the tree from a distance.
Su Wuwei and the others trapped the Gray Mist behemoth while Ye Buyu rescued the World-Remnant Aggregate and hurried to join the fight. She exposed and pinned the hidden beast with her Double-Edged Spear, leaving it restrained and demanding to know what it was.
Ye Buyu forced the Calamity [Chaos] to reveal that [Fate] had directed the destruction of Cangyuan and planned to target Withered Star. Ye Buyu and her allies fought to kill [Chaos], with Wan Lan piercing its skull as the battle continued.
[Chaos] abandoned its body and tried to possess Wan Lan, but she trapped it in her Mindscape with Ye Buyu and the others. After beating it into surrender, they learned its Divine Status had created it and that Whispers of Fate had guided it to become [Chaos].
Ye Buyu and the others decided they could only seal [Chaos] for now and hurried to establish the Salvation Hall of Fame as Calamities threatened the world. They helped the survivors of a half-destroyed planet plan a migration to the Elf Star Domain and urged them to build their own force against Calamities.
Ye Buyu and her teammates split up to pursue their own goals after discovering the mastermind behind Cangyuan Star’s destruction, while Little Whale and Ku Rong learned that the group had gone into the past. The chapter leaves Little Whale remembering the Star Domain’s flourishing days before the Calamity struck.
Little Whale recalled the destruction of its civilization and how it became the Whale of Wailing, then joined the others in speculating about Ye Buyu and the nature of time. Their conversation was interrupted by a furious child demanding to know where Little Ye and the others had been taken.
Little Whale encountered the children’s souls searching for Ye Buyu, while the Salvation Hall of Fame discussed letting [War] and other sealed Calamities loose to weaken the world’s Calamity factions. The battle between [Fear] and [War] continued as Wu Yan set out for Rift’s Original Base.
Weier abandoned her plan to leave and joined [Fear] in fighting [War], revealing herself as the [Silence] of living beings. The Star Domain collapsed around them as the battle resumed, while spectators watched from the Primordial Beginning Tower and Lan Huaiyu reported that Hold Up the Heavens had lost contact.
