• The Chief appeared with a pillow and scolded Ye Buyu and Kou Ying for wandering around instead of resting.
• Ye Buyu asked the Chief where the Fate Fragments she had collected came from.
• The Chief said Ye Buyu had stolen the fragments and followed it without permission, while Ye Buyu admitted she had assumed it was a calamity and recruited it for the Salvation Hall of Fame.
• Ye Buyu recalled collecting fragments while the Chief stayed silent and wondered whether its silence had been indulgence or disdain.

Ye Buyu and Kou Ying discovered that Little Brat was an incarnation of the Universe Consciousness and asked it to help living beings skip the universe’s energy collapse. The Chief refused to intervene, telling them to face the collapse themselves before disappearing.

• Little Brat revealed that Ye Buyu and Kou Ying had been looking for it all along, shocking them by identifying itself as the Universe Consciousness.
• The Chief warned Ye Buyu that her immense energy could turn weak-willed beings into believers, even if she separated and abandoned her Godheads.
• Kou Ying explained that they wanted the Chief to help all living beings skip the energy-collapse phase and enter a new cosmic era.
• Ye Buyu realized the Chief had given them their Fate Fragments and helped them become gods, then told it that it had let them act because it was lazy.
• The Chief said it could not let them skip the universe’s natural energy cycle and urged them to face its collapse head-on before vanishing.

Ye Buyu and Kou Ying asked Qian Tu to summon the Calamities to Floating City for a discussion about Universe Collapse, while hinting at their recent exploits. Qian Tu, [Fear], and [Darkness] were left wondering whether the world could survive Ye Buyu and her allies becoming Gods.

• Ye Buyu worried about explaining her actions to her teammates, and Kou Ying refused to take responsibility for telling them.
• Ye Buyu and Kou Ying asked Qian Tu to summon the other Calamities to Floating City to discuss Universe Collapse and the current situation.

• Ye Buyu admitted that she and her allies had teamed up against Deities and searched for the Universe Consciousness, then she and Kou Ying left.
• Qian Tu told [Fear] and [Darkness] about the meeting and Ye Buyu's claims, and they feared the consequences of the group becoming Gods.

Ye Buyu revealed that the Chief of the Salvation Hall of Fame was an incarnation of the Universe Consciousness and summoned allies to Floating City to discuss how to survive the universe’s collapse. The gathered leaders and calamities faced the problem together, but no one had a solution yet.

• Qian Tu agreed to travel to Floating City and threatened to confront the group if their warning proved false.
• Ye Buyu told Wan Lan and the others that Little Brat was the Universe Consciousness and summoned them to discuss the universe’s collapse.
• Wan Lan arrived and demanded an explanation, while Kou Ying confirmed that the Chief was an incarnation of the Universe Consciousness.
• The calamities realized that [Delusion] had been punished for disturbing the Chief’s sleep, and [Madness] asked Ye Buyu how they would survive the collapse.
• The notable figures gathered in Floating City, where the Horizon Team and others faced the Six Hold Up the Heavens Members’ expectation that they would offer ideas.

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.
• Star Network users discussed using phase-transition technology and self-detonation, while an End of the World commenter described resurrection as familiar to their people.
• Ye Buyu shared the discussion with Ku Rong and the others, who concluded that a plan based on the comments might work.
• 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 group considered shattering their godheads to become observers, and the Chief warned that they might not survive or recover their consciousness afterward.
• Ye Buyu summoned the Chief, who confirmed that their plan could work but cautioned them about its risks.
• Ye Buyu consulted her Communicator and suggested seeking help from other worlds as a backup in case their group failed to reach the future.
• Ye Buyu entrusted the future to those who remained, and Horizon angrily demanded that they stay alive instead of leaving others with more work.

Ye Buyu and the others agreed to seek help from outside their universe before it collapsed, while the factions prepared to seal an alliance with a Contract. Mu Bingge began gathering the power of time to send a signal through the world's barrier, but the group was still unsure how to break through it.

• The Chief said Mu Bingge could use the power of time to contact the universe outside theirs, though the attempt could have unknown consequences.
• Ye Buyu told Little Whale to find and rescue them if their Godheads shattered and they could not wake themselves.
• Gong Jieyong rallied the group, and [Fear] proposed that they seal their alliance with a Contract.
• 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.

The Chief realized that the living beings’ determination to survive had shaped its decision, and told Ye Buyu and the others to cut a rift through its incarnation so they could send a message through time. 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.
• Ye Buyu, Wan Lan, Su Wuwei, Lou Guanshan, Kou Ying, and Mu Bingge prepared their powers and weapons while the others stepped back.
• Su Wuwei and Lou Guanshan struck the Chief with blades strengthened by Mu Bingge’s power of time, opening a rift into spacetime turbulence.
• Mu Bingge sent the sealed message through the rift, and Ye Buyu held it open until the light vanished beyond it.
• The rift closed, and Mu Bingge said the message’s destination and whether anyone would receive it were left to fate.

Ye Buyu and her allies began building a universal New River of Forgetfulness to shelter souls from the collapse of the universe. After assembling teams from multiple factions, they divided the construction zones and prepared to start work despite confusion and rivalries among the crews.

• Ye Buyu and her companions began the ambitious project of building a new River of Forgetfulness, drawing on technology from the Primordial Beginning Tower and Judgment and ancient knowledge from Ku Rong.
• Wujia pledged that the Primordial Beginning Tower team would complete its work, while the Slaughter Seat rallied Judgment’s Second Engineering Squad to prove its strength.
• Qian Tu complained about the hard hats and the commotion as Rift and Black Plague representatives struggled to understand the gathering of factions.
• Wei Changming explained that the End of the World’s Technical Expert Team would help build a universe-scale River of Forgetfulness, shocking engineers who had expected a simple business trip.
• 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.
• An unknown organization detected the distant civilization’s signal, and a mysterious figure decided to investigate.
• The factions finished the New River of Forgetfulness, whose autonomous consciousness confirmed that every soul was safe and the protective barrier was active.
• Ye Buyu and her companions prepared their positions to begin the planned demolition of the universe.
• Ye Buyu told Su Wuwei she would do nothing unnecessary, then silently resolved to make sure everyone survived.

Ye Buyu initiated the destruction of the old universe, gathering her comrades’ Godhead energy and taking the impact herself so the new universe could begin free of old causal ties. As she was annihilated, she left her teammates with a promise that they had to find her after she was reborn.

• Ye Buyu told the Chief that only she could sever the old universe’s causal ties and make the new world’s cycle complete.
• Ye Buyu summoned the scattered Hold Up the Heavens members, who broke down their Godheads and sent their divine energy into her Divine Core.
• The Calamities detonated their energy to drive the universe’s collapse, while Eternal Thousand Winds warned the living to preserve their consciousness.
• The people of the Present World accepted the destruction, and the Six Godheads shattered as the universe collapsed.
• 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.
• Two teams fought in primordial space, stirring dormant energy that exploded and created a new universe, Blue Star, and eventually the Sun.
• Lou Guanshan, Kou Ying, and Mu Bingge appeared on Blue Star as its landscape and life began to form.
• The Horizon Team awakened with physical bodies, while Wan Lan left with others to search for someone and entrusted Wei Changming with the rest.
• Su Wuwei met Mu Bingge above Blue Star and learned she could no longer sense Ye Buyu, who had erased her past karmic connections.
• Su Wuwei suggested asking the visitors from beyond the world whether Ye Buyu still existed.

Reincarnation’s crew discovered a red-eyed child aboard their spacecraft and tried to learn who she was. When Su Wuwei and Mu Bingge arrived to retrieve her, the child hid from them, leaving Yan Chu and the others wary of handing her over.

• Fang Zhixin said he could not identify the child after he and Sikong had turned a red thread into a living person.
• 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.
• Lou Guanshan repeatedly tried to introduce himself as the Great Son of the Earth, but Ye Buyu threw a candy at him and caused his chair to slip.
• Yan Chu explained that Fang Zhixin had found a red thread, which gained life energy and became Ye Buyu.
• Bai Yuefeng asked how the planet and sun had appeared, and Wan Lan explained that the universe had collapsed and been rebuilt, with Su Wuwei as the sun and Ye Buyu as its captain.
• 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. Mu Bingge explained that their time travel followed a causal loop, leaving the others to consider whether it posed any threat to spacetime.

• Wan Lan introduced Mu Bingge, Su Wuwei, Lou Guanshan, Kou Ying, and their timid captain, Little Ye Buyu, to the other teams.
• Fang Zhixin and Yan Chu introduced their teams and said they would investigate the temporal issues in Hold Up the Heavens' account.
• Fang Zhixin and Yan Chu questioned Hold Up the Heavens about altering timelines, creating parallel universes, and resetting the world.
• Fang Zhixin explained that the Spacetime Administration Bureau placed responsible time travelers under routine supervision but could strip autonomy from those who caused catastrophic harm.
• Lou Guanshan said their journeys to the past had always followed guidance from their future selves, and Mu Bingge explained that time travel closed a causal loop.

The Spacetime Administration Bureau learned that Hold Up the Heavens had sent the time signal to make them Observers, then asked the team to join the Bureau. As Ye Buyu began recalling her past, Mu Bingge started telling the others her story, and Ye Buyu murmured “Streetlamp...” in her sleep as her memories returned.

• Du Ruo confirmed that the time signal had been sent so the Bureau members would become Observers, then offered Hold Up the Heavens jobs.
• Ye Buyu remembered going to work and reacting with disgust as her teammates prompted her with stories about past adventures.
• Ye Buyu passed out from the flood of memories, and Mu Bingge caught her after the others fumbled to help.
• Bai Yuefeng invited Lou Guanshan to share the team's story, and the group agreed that Mu Bingge should tell it.
• Mu Bingge began recounting Ye Buyu's past, and the unconscious Ye Buyu mumbled “Streetlamp...” as her memories started returning.

As Ye Buyu listened to Mu Bingge’s story, her memories returned and she realized she had hidden something from her teammates. She fled before they could confront her, escaping through Fang Zhixin’s Dimensional Blade and disappearing.

• Ye Buyu recognized that the stories Mu Bingge told were connected to her, and she pretended to be a child while trying to avoid the others’ attention.
• Fang Zhixin asked Mu Bingge why she had borne the impact alone, and Kou Ying turned a scrutinizing gaze toward Ye Buyu.
• Ye Buyu sent a red thread through the new universe, stirring cause and effect and restoring her fragmented memories and dormant power.
• Ye Buyu tried to run, but the Five of Hold Up the Heavens blocked her escape with freezing power and a Dimensional Blade.
• Ye Buyu ran through Fang Zhixin’s Dimensional Blade and escaped, leaving Fang Zhixin to claim awkwardly that he had been trying to catch her.

Ye Buyu reunited with the furious Hold Up the Heavens members and explained how she had survived by relying on the karmic connection created when the Spacetime Administration Bureau received Mu Bingge’s signal. The group considered joining the bureau as guest advisors, while Fang Zhixin noted that Ye Buyu’s world seemed to lack Spacetime Demon Gods and Spacetime Gods.

• Ye Buyu hid while restoring her body, and Wan Lan, Su Wuwei, Lou Guanshan, and Kou Ying confronted her for concealing her plan to sever their ties to the old universe.
• Fang Zhixin gave Ye Buyu clothes and teleported her back to the Hold Up the Heavens members, who demanded to know how she had known she could survive.
• Ye Buyu explained that Mu Bingge’s signal had formed a karmic connection with the Spacetime Administration Bureau members, making them external anchors who could help her exist in the new universe.
• Yan Chu invited the six Hold Up the Heavens members to join the Spacetime Administration Bureau, and Fang Zhixin described its informal, leaderless structure and suggested they become guest advisors.
• Fang Zhixin observed that Ye Buyu’s world seemed to have no Spacetime Demons or Spacetime Gods, unlike the worlds he knew.

Fang Zhixin proposed introducing a species from his universe, the Spacetime Demon Gods, to Ye Buyu’s universe, and Ye Buyu consulted Little Brat, an incarnation of the universe consciousness. Little Brat agreed to let them proceed and disappeared, leaving Hold Up the Heavens responsible for handling any problems.

• Fang Zhixin explained that Spacetime Demon Gods maintained the balance between planetary creation and collapse, unlike the Calamities in Ye Buyu’s universe, and asked whether they could introduce a new species.
• Ye Buyu decided to consult Little Brat, prompting Yan Chu and Fang Zhixin to react with surprise when they learned it was an incarnation of the universe consciousness.
• Su Wuwei wondered whether the new universe might have a different consciousness, and Ye Buyu mistakenly thought Little Brat had died.
• Little Brat struck Ye Buyu with a pillow and corrected her, then agreed to the introduction while warning that it could reset everything if the energy balance failed.
• Little Brat told the visitors to go to Hold Up the Heavens for help and vanished.

Ye Buyu and the others arranged for the Spacetime Administration Bureau to help bring Spacetime Demon Gods to their universe and discussed the risks and benefits. The chapter ended with Ye Buyu reuniting with the newly awakened Calamities, who had feared she was gone.

• Ye Buyu's teammates mocked her for failing to pass the Universe Consciousness's demand onward, and she shook Su Wuwei until he reminded her that Blue Star still needed its sun.
• Yan Chu offered to coordinate bringing in Spacetime Demon Gods, and Fang Zhixin explained that they could restore dead planets unless they fell and became Spacetime Demons.
