Ye Buyu asked Star Network users how to survive the Universe’s collapse, and the discussion inspired the gathered combatants to devise a plan involving collective self-detonation and resurrection. The plan seemed feasible, but convincing everyone to willingly die remained a major obstacle.

• Ye Buyu posted a hypothetical question on Star Network about surviving the Universe’s collapse and rejected suggestions to hide from it.

• The combatants proposed using [History-Eater], the Primordial Beginning Tower, Judgment, the Salvation Hall of Fame, and various authorities to preserve souls and guide the world’s return after the collapse.
• The Calamities and the Horizon Team doubted that people could be persuaded to self-detonate willingly, even if resurrection followed.

Ye Buyu and the others planned to accelerate the universe’s collapse by having the Calamities detonate, while shattering their own godheads to observe and rebuild the next universe. When the Chief warned that they might not survive or regain their consciousness, Ye Buyu discussed asking other worlds for help as a backup plan and entrusted the newborn world’s future to those who remained.

• Ye Buyu proposed telling living beings to preserve their souls and having the Calamities explode to speed up the universe’s collapse.

• The Chief brought everyone above the Sea of Stars and warned them to send a signal before the universe began collapsing.
• Mu Bingge gathered the power of time and asked how to release the signal, while the others questioned how they could break through the world's barrier.

They sent Mu Bingge’s sealed message beyond the universe, leaving its destination and the universe’s future uncertain.

• The Chief remembered that countless souls from shattered worlds had watched Ye Buyu, and understood their refusal to accept a predetermined end.
• The Chief told Ye Buyu and the others to cut into its incarnation to open a rift and send their message through the torrent of time.

• The Female Engineer asked whether they could whip calamities who performed badly, and Wei Changming instead directed everyone to follow the agreed rules for slackers.
• After Qian Tu and the Slaughter Seat nearly argued over which faction would work faster, Wujia told everyone to divide the construction zones, calibrate the equipment, and begin without a groundbreaking ceremony.

The factions completed the New River of Forgetfulness, securing the souls and activating a barrier against the universe’s collapse. As the team prepared to demolish the universe according to their plan, Ye Buyu privately resolved to ensure everyone survived.

• A construction accident collapsed an energy coordinate, and the responsible Calamity’s team was whipped and assigned to clean energy conduits for three months.

• As the collapse ended, Ye Buyu’s causal threads sent her teammates’ souls into the New River of Forgetfulness, and the Chief sealed its entrance.
• Ye Buyu held the old-marked energy together as the impact shattered her soul, then said her teammates must find her after she was reborn.

An ancient organization’s visitors gathered around a temporal signal, and a fierce battle accidentally gave birth to a new universe and Blue Star. As the Horizon Team awakened on the newly formed planet, Su Wuwei and Mu Bingge realized Ye Buyu had erased her karmic connections and decided to seek answers from the visitors.

• A black-haired, golden-eyed woman found the old universe empty while investigating a temporal signal, and later visitors began meeting at the coordinates.

• Yan Chu caught the child as she tried to crawl away, wrapped her in the sheet, and carried her outside when Fang Zhixin sensed visitors approaching.
• Su Wuwei and Mu Bingge arrived and recognized the child, and Mu Bingge asked Yan Chu to return her.
• Fang Zhixin used language synchronization and suggested the child choose whether to go with them.
• The child hid from Su Wuwei and Mu Bingge, then started crying when Su Wuwei scolded her, making the crew reluctant to hand her over.

Wan Lan explained how the collapsed universe had been rebuilt and identified Ye Buyu as its captain and the embodiment of the old universe’s cause and effect. Ye Buyu remained childlike and forgetful, while Lou Guanshan’s attempts to approach her ended with him falling over.

• Wan Lan and her group found Ye Buyu alive as a small child, and Kou Ying and Lou Guanshan relaxed with relief.
• Fang Zhixin and Mu Bingge realized Ye Buyu did not seem to recognize them, and Mu Bingge suggested she had forgotten her memories.

• After Wan Lan finished her concise explanation, Yan Chu remarked that it had been too concise.

Wan Lan introduced Hold Up the Heavens to the Spacetime Administration Bureau and Reincarnation teams, whose members questioned them about possible temporal violations.
