The Six Hold Up the Heavens Members considered how to use Judgment's sword against [Sinful Karma], and prepared a plan centered on Kou Ying's connection to it and Lou Guanshan's nearly finished saber.

• [Thought-Madness] gathered the fallen Calamities' divine-status fragments into a wine flask and gave it to Ye Buyu, explaining that their sacrifice was the answer they had chosen.

Ye Buyu and the Calamities discovered that [Sinful Karma] had survived their devastating attack and was using its Divine Status to detonate its power and burn away every sin in the world. As the Guillotine descended, Qian Tu, Su Wuwei, Wan Lan, and the others struggled to hold it back while Mu Bingge accelerated Kou Ying's time, leaving the final plan in motion.

After the Sword of Judgment defeated Sinful Karma, the exhausted Calamities reflected on their conflicted nature while Lou Guanshan offered them understanding. Ye Buyu’s soul witnessed an emotionless pair of eyes absorb a fragment of Sinful Karma and then turn toward her.

Days later, the group arrived at Four Symbols Academy in the Present World, where a student mistook [Withering] for a Calamity spy.

• [History-Eater] asked to visit the End of the World, and [Withering] agreed after Wan Lan warned that the Calamities might not be welcomed.

[War] warned that people might preserve external threats to maintain Civilization’s stability, leaving the group with a troubling possibility to consider.

Wei Changming introduced them to [Streetlamp] and [Trickery], who revealed how their generations lived and worked with partners to address problems.

• Su Wuwei proposed finding a way to draw Calamity Power directly, and Mu Bingge compared the idea to developing solar panels that could replace Calamities as sources of usable energy.
