[War] broke through the Seal formation and overwhelmed Wail and Little Wan, while the others fought [Annihilation] and [Devouring Corpse]. As [War] mocked the Salvation Hall of Fame and the masses, the Sun fell toward the Calamity Tide, and Ku Rong declared that people’s refusal to give up was what kept civilizations alive.
Wu Yan and Wen Ling closed Delusion’s passage, cutting off the Calamity Tide’s reinforcements and turning the battle at the Fortress. As the defenders counterattacked, Devouring Corpse’s jinx about the Salvation Hall of Fame drew a powerful new attack against War.
[Fear], [silence], and the people of the Present World fought [war] to keep the End of the World from being destroyed, while Wu Yan revealed that [Iron Prison] was dead. [War] pushed the Doomsday Tower's destruction progress toward ninety percent, but his influence unexpectedly boosted the people's fighting spirit and helped them attack the Calamities.
[War] argued that civilization and war should both be destroyed, but Slyder rejected his claim and helped restrain him. [War] accepted a wager about the coming [Sinful Karma] crisis, while Wen Ling revealed that the Four Seats and the Primordial Beginning Tower had already mobilized.
Wu Yan and the Salvation Hall of Fame members headed for the moon as signs emerged that [Sinful Karma] had revived there. Judgment’s Four Seats were suppressing part of the Calamity, but the Judgment Executor warned that its full arrival could destroy the End of the World and devastate nearby star domains.
The group realized the moon was absorbing [Sinful Karma]'s attacks and used Wail's Thousand Tides Tracing the Moon to reveal a connection to Hold Up the Heavens, who were stranded on the moon. Ye Buyu proposed modifying the moon as they considered what to do next.
Ye Buyu and the others planned to modify the moon in the past so it could capture powerful Calamities, explaining how the moon later helped protect the Present World. They gathered Fate Fragments to prepare the Lunar Core to hold a future Godhead, while their work on Kou Ying's formation neared completion.
Mu Bingge, Lou Guanshan, and Su Wuwei revealed how their past actions shaped the Moon, the Sun, and the End of the World, while Ye Buyu explained that seeing the future had led her to create the causes that trapped [sinful karma]. As the Four Seats struggled to process the revelation, the Lunar Phases showed Ye Buyu sending Little Whale to find its own path before she left to save the world.
The Calamities chose sides and tightened their restraints on [Sinful Karma] while Gong Jieyong learned how valuable the Fate Fragments were. As [Sinful Karma] began attacking him, it forced him to relive his past deeds and question whether they counted as karma.
Sinful Karma exposed the past and sins of the Calamities, driving them toward self-destruction as it attacked them within Knife-Slicing Hell. Note resisted its power, and the chapter ended with six figures appearing as Gong Jieyong tearfully welcomed them home.
Ye Buyu and her allies launched a coordinated attack on [Sinful Karma], using the moon to contain it while bringing sunlight back to the Present World. The assault weakened the Calamity and slowed the Doomsday Tower’s progress, but [Sinful Karma] remained confident it could outlast them.
Ye Buyu and the others struggled to hold back Sinful Karma until Kou Ying landed a devastating strike with the Shadow Blade. Ye Buyu kept Kou Ying alive by stabbing him to make him pay her price, then continued attacking Sinful Karma while her teammates prepared to act.
Ye Buyu used a higher-priority debt to shield the Calamities from [Sinful Karma]'s judgment, then called on the assembled powers to help restrain it. The group prepared to throw [Sinful Karma] into the Thousand-Wind Ancient Road as Wan Lan drew the Land of No Battle toward it.
Ye Buyu and the others combined their powers to weaken and restrain [Sinful Karma], while Mu Bingge borrowed strength from Wan Lan’s future self to summon the Thousand-Wind Ancient Road. They threw [Sinful Karma] into the Thousand Winds, where it was bound and carried away.
Ye Buyu and her exhausted allies returned from the Thousand-Wind Ancient Road to find the sky torn open, while Horizon and the others faced the Calamity Power spilling through. Just as the group learned the immediate crisis had eased, [Rift] arrived with hostages and threatened them, only for Ye Buyu to casually reveal she was chewing an incomplete Divine Status.
Ye Buyu persuaded [Rift] to release the Four Symbols Department ministers by recognizing her wish to mend the rifts between living beings. After the group treated broken pieces of Divine Status as snacks, [Fear] asked Ye Buyu to explain Hold Up the Heavens’ connection to the Salvation Hall of Fame.
Ye Buyu and Hold Up the Heavens returned from the moon after driving off [Sinful Karma], and the Present World learned that they had turned the crisis around. At the original Fortress site, Ye Buyu and the others confronted [Annihilation] over the destruction he had caused more than five hundred years earlier.
Kou Ying killed [Annihilation] and claimed his divine status, while [War] warned the group that powerful forces would come for them. Ye Buyu revealed that she was the Hall Master of Salvation Hall of Fame, leaving the calamities and Primordial Beginning Tower stunned.
Fear and the others learned that Ye Buyu and Hold Up the Heavens had traveled back to the Fog Epoch and founded Salvation Hall of Fame, raising questions about how their actions affected history. Ku Rong opened a garden for everyone to compare what they knew, and Ye Buyu was asked to explain her part.
Little Whale recounted how the Salvation Hall of Fame arose from efforts to resist Calamities and preserve surviving Civilizations. The account ended with the group learning that Note had helped create several landmarks in the Present World, including the Doomsday Tower.
Wan Lan and Ye Buyu recounted Hold Up the Heavens’ history and explained how they returned to the past. Ye Buyu revealed that [Gestation] created her from a segment of a Causal Line, then asked the gathered veterans for help understanding their powers.
Hold Up the Heavens discussed the rising threat of Calamities and asked [Fear] about Origin Power, but [Fear] offered information only if Ye Buyu became the Fourth Princess of the Dark Abyss Calamity Dynasty. The others objected and joked about joining instead, while Judgment made its own offer; the chapter ended with [Fear] reconsidering after hearing how many places Hold Up the Heavens had nearly destroyed or endangered.
Hold Up the Heavens defended themselves against accusations of attracting disasters and confronted [War] over its slaughter. Ye Buyu then negotiated with [Fear] for Origin Power insights, and the chapter ended with [Fear] waiting to learn what Ye Buyu would offer in exchange.
Ye Buyu explained the goals of the End of the World, the Salvation Hall of Fame, and Hold Up the Heavens, then won [Fear]'s and Weier's support by promising a future that included Calamities. She offered [Stagnation] and [Cycle] the chance to rebuild Floating City, and [Stagnation] reacted with sudden excitement.
Ye Buyu persuaded [Stagnation] and [Cycle] to help establish the Floating City as a trading hub where living beings and Calamities could cooperate. As [War] challenged the possibility of coexistence, Ye Buyu argued that the city would not end all conflict but would give those seeking peace a choice.
