Dan Heng wondered how the Luofu had begun moving on its own, while Jiang Yu and Stelle returned to Herta Space Station to test a new Simulated Universe expansion. Herta explained that the experiment would focus on the period before Tayzzyronth’s fall.

• The Astral Express returned to Herta Space Station from the Xianzhou, and Dan Heng began recording useful information despite reflecting on the Luofu trip.
• Dan Heng recalled the Luofu’s unexplained movement and suspected Jiang Yu had been involved, though he had no evidence.
• March 7th went to visit Asta and Arlan, while Jiang Yu and Stelle went to Herta’s office to test the Simulated Universe update.
• Herta explained that Stephen Lloyd had named the new project Simulated Universe: Swarm Disaster and that it involved a die and a fixed historical period.
• Herta said Ruan Mei had chosen the period just before Tayzzyronth, the Swarm Emperor, fell.

Jiang Yu and Stelle entered separate Swarm Disaster tests in the Simulated Universe, where Screwllum guided Jiang Yu through the map and his first exploration. Jiang Yu landed in a dim mining area that reminded him of Belobog’s Underworld and began adjusting to his simulated body.

• Herta explained that Jiang Yu and Stelle would explore separate historical slices to reduce server strain during the first Swarm Disaster test.
• Jiang Yu connected to the Simulated Universe and saw a map of hexagonal tiles and a virtual character icon.
• Screwllum introduced himself and guided Jiang Yu through route selection and the map’s tile icons.
• Jiang Yu entered the plane and fell into a dimly lit mining area with wandering robots.
• Jiang Yu adjusted to his simulated body and found the experience comfortable.

Jiang Yu entered the Simulated Universe and learned from Screwllum that Blessings would come only if an Aeon noticed his actions, not as automatic rewards for defeating enemies. He decided to seek event nodes for a better chance of experiencing Blessings, while remaining more curious about the nature of Paths than about meeting Aeons.

• Jiang Yu defeated the three robots in the starting combat zone with ease and wondered why he had not received a Blessing.
• Jiang Yu asked Screwllum why no Blessing had appeared, and Screwllum explained that simulated Aeons had to notice him before granting one.
• Jiang Yu realized the Simulated Universe was a real information-based simulation and that its researchers could not freely give him strong assistance.
• Jiang Yu reflected on how Paths related to Aeons and concepts, and questioned what form a Path took.
• Jiang Yu decided to choose event nodes in hopes of encountering Blessings or Ruan Mei, then spotted a route map on the rock wall.

Jiang Yu encountered Argenti in the Simulated Universe and received the Knight of Beauty’s blessing. Argenti then invited him aboard his spaceship to help him cross the snowy terrain.

• Jiang Yu studied a hidden route map, changed his route to events, and made his way out of a cavern into a snowy landscape.
• Jiang Yu found the path ended at a cliff, then saw a magnificent spaceship descend in front of him.
• Argenti emerged from the ship, mistook Jiang Yu for Idrila, and knelt before him.
• Jiang Yu helped Argenti stand, and Argenti granted him a blessing that included an unfamiliar power Jiang Yu suspected came from Nihility.
• Argenti offered Jiang Yu a ride through the snow, and Jiang Yu accepted.

Stelle explored the Simulated Universe and discovered that the new Communing Device released an Audience Dice, while Herta complained about its design. Herta then learned that Jiang Yu had no special identity assigned to him in the simulation, and Ruan Mei confirmed she had not altered his identity either.

• Stelle searched the mine for treasure and avoided most enemies before reaching a Communing Device.
• Herta paused Stelle's run, criticized the device's design, and complained that Stephen Lloyd had changed her intended Audience Dice vessel.
• Stelle activated the Communing Device and received a cracked Audience Dice that gave her a subtle enhancement.
• Stelle left the cave and began descending into a larger mining pit to explore for treasure and fight Fragmentum Creatures.
• Screwllum asked Herta whether she had given Jiang Yu a special identity in the Simulated Universe, and Herta denied doing so.
• Ruan Mei joined the conversation and confirmed she had not modified Jiang Yu's identity.

Screwllum reported that Jiang Yu had triggered developments outside the Simulated Universe’s design, while Jiang Yu traveled through extreme environments aboard Argenti’s spaceship. The chapter ended when Holvis mistook Jiang Yu for Idrila and knelt to greet him.

• Herta confirmed with Ruan Mei and Stephen that their monitoring had revealed no serious problems with the Simulated Universe.
• Screwllum told Herta that Jiang Yu had caused unexpected developments during his exploration.
• Argenti gave Jiang Yu a large collection of blessings, which affected the Simulated Universe even when Jiang Yu did not touch them.
• Argenti’s spaceship crossed a snowy region using energy from a Fragmentum creature before entering a volcanic landscape.
• Argenti met Holvis, who saw Jiang Yu and knelt before him, addressing him as Idrila.

Jiang Yu’s presence in the Simulated Universe caused the Knights of Beauty to gather around him, shower him with aid, and revive their order to unprecedented strength. After Screwllum reported the anomaly, the geniuses suspected Jiang Yu might be connected to Idrila, while Herta revealed that Mirror Holders were accusing the Xianzhou Alliance of attacking them and speculated that Jiang Yu might be an Aeon fragment.

• Jiang Yu traveled aboard Argenti’s ship with Holvis, who bestowed blessings and offered him gifts.
• More Knights of Beauty joined Jiang Yu, bringing gifts and helping the order expand into a vast fleet that aided people across the Galaxy.
• Screwllum told the assembled geniuses that the Knights’ repeated assistance exceeded the Simulated Universe’s design and showed no anomalous readings.
• Screwllum identified Jiang Yu and Aha as the main suspects behind the Simulated Universe’s unusual events and suggested Jiang Yu might be connected to Idrila.
• Herta said Mirror Holders were publicly accusing the Xianzhou Alliance of attacking them, and she speculated that Jiang Yu might be a fragment of an Aeon worth studying.

Herta and Screwllum realized Jiang Yu’s passive influence on the Simulated Universe might be connected to the Mirror Holders’ account of the Luofu hunting them. In the Swarm Disaster simulation, Jiang Yu joined forces with the Xianzhou fleet as it unleashed overwhelming firepower against the Swarm.

• Herta recalled how the Corporation and Knights of Beauty had pursued the Mirror Holders, while the Family arrested those who sought shelter on Penacony and handed them over.
• Screwllum concluded that Jiang Yu was passively affecting the Simulated Universe and proposed that the Luofu itself might have initiated the hunt described by the Mirror Holders.
• Jiang Yu encountered the Luofu and Yaoqing during the Swarm Disaster simulation, and the Xianzhou ships agreed to help him fight the Swarm.
• The Xianzhou fleet followed Jiang Yu through the simulation’s history and unleashed its full firepower against the Swarm.
• The Xianzhou guns, automated Starskiffs, mechanical arms, and Cloud Knights overwhelmed the True Stings as Jiang Yu witnessed the battle.

The Xianzhou-Knights of Beauty Joint Fleet drove back the Swarm as Jiang Yu’s unexpected power drew the attention of the Aeons. Aha met Jiang Yu and offered to take him to see Tayzzyronth, leaving Herta stunned by the prospect of their heading to an Aeon war site.

• The Xianzhou-Knights of Beauty Joint Fleet fought alongside the Xianzhou Alliance, and Argenti rescued a Foxian pilot surrounded by the Swarm.
• HooH noticed the disturbance, found Jiang Yu, and was overwhelmed by unseen gazes and a violent attack that extinguished the suns.
• Aha appeared aboard Jiang Yu’s ship and asked how he had caused such a commotion.
• Jiang Yu asked Aha for something fun to do or for help making Qlipoth kill Tayzzyronth sooner.
• Aha offered to take Jiang Yu to see Tayzzyronth, and Herta interrupted Screwllum’s account in shock.

Herta and Screwllum discussed Jiang Yu’s unprecedented progress in the Simulated Universe and the unreliable history unfolding around him. Herta insisted they preserve the data as Jiang Yu and Aha arrived at Ilithina, where multiple Aeons had gathered to confront Propagation.

• Herta checked on Stelle, who was cautiously progressing through the Swarm-infested historical segment while Jiang Yu had advanced far ahead.
• Screwllum explained that Jiang Yu’s influence had pushed the Simulated Universe beyond its information model, and he shared a record of HooH dying after perceiving Jiang Yu before reviving and returning the Path of Equilibrium.
• Herta argued that the altered events still represented the Simulated Universe’s true history and told Screwllum to export the data.
• Screwllum recorded that Aha brought Jiang Yu to Ilithina, where Propagation faced Preservation, Order, Trailblaze, Elation, and Akivili.
• Harmony arrived amid music and dreamlike visions, prompting the record to question why she had appeared there.

The geniuses watched Jiang Yu’s recording of the gods’ battle on Iledishina as Aha’s influence overwhelmed their senses. Tayzzyronth attacked Jiang Yu before dying, and the Swarm Emperor and the Path of Propagation vanished completely.

• Aha’s laughter distorted the geniuses’ perceptions, and Ruan Mei and Screwllum urged them to disconnect while Herta insisted they keep watching.
• Jiang Yu watched the gods battle and received a puzzle fragment from Xipe.
• The gods struck Tayzzyronth with a great hammer, bringing the Swarm Emperor close to death as the Swarm’s power began to disperse.
• Tayzzyronth focused his final counterattack on Jiang Yu, and his fangs pierced Jiang Yu before the gods could stop him.
• Tayzzyronth died, and the Path of Propagation and everything connected to the Swarm Emperor disappeared.

Stelle and Jiang Yu compared their experiences after completing the Simulated Universe, and Stelle realized their adventures had been drastically different. Jiang Yu revealed that he had fought Tayzzyronth, leaving Stelle stunned as the two stared at each other.

• Stelle emerged from the Simulated Universe and noticed that Herta was absent while Jiang Yu waited nearby.
• Jiang Yu said his exploration had ended quickly and that he had encountered the Knights of Beauty and the Xianzhou.
• Stelle described her difficult adventure to herself and wondered why Jiang Yu seemed to have enjoyed an easy run.
• Jiang Yu explained that Herta had rushed offline after telling him how to monitor Stelle, and that Screwllum had discovered something remarkable.
• Jiang Yu said he had fought Tayzzyronth, the Aeon of Propagation, as the final boss, and Stelle stared at him in disbelief.

Jiang Yu planned to use Phantylia and the captured Mirror Holders as labor for Aha’s Fragmentum Factory, seeing the work as fitting punishment. As he and Stelle arrived near Aurum Alley, Bailu called out to them.

• Jiang Yu returned to the Xianzhou with Stelle and resolved to use eternally burning Phantylia as fuel for Aha’s Fragmentum Factory.
• Jiang Yu decided to turn the captured Mirror Holders into free labor once the Judges finished interrogating them.
• Jiang Yu considered the factory’s brutal use of workers and Fragmentum Creatures, and told Stelle the prisoners deserved to be sent there.
• Jiang Yu and Stelle reached the vicinity of Aurum Alley, where Bailu waved and called to them.

Stelle, Jiang Yu, and Bailu headed to Aurum Alley for a food tour, with Stelle treating them after the Factory paid out early dividends. The trio fled after a diner recommended Soda Bean Juice, and Stelle later learned that another visitor also named it as something to avoid.

• Bailu revealed that she had asked Banxia to handle the Dragon Masters so she could sneak out, then Stelle gave in to her pleading and offered to treat everyone in Aurum Alley.
• Stelle, Jiang Yu, and Bailu planned to eat at Spices Supreme after sampling snacks from the other vendors, and Stelle sought advice from local diners.
• Xiaohan recommended Soda Bean Juice to Stelle when she asked for something radical, describing its sour, strange taste and suggesting she gulp it down.
• Stelle recalled her past ordeal with bean juice, fled with Jiang Yu and Bailu, and resisted her urge to make Little Fish try it.
• Stelle asked an outworlder diner what food tasted bad, but received the same answer: Soda Bean Juice.

Stelle, Jiang Yu, and Bailu enjoyed Aurum Alley’s night market before heading to the docks, where Sushang confronted a dispute between the Aurum Alley Merchant Guild and the IPC. The three joined the argument with absurdly sincere replies, leaving the IPC representative speechless.

• Stelle asked Auntie Gao about the IPC, then she, Jiang Yu, and Bailu enjoyed a complimentary feast at her stall.
• Bailu remembered she needed medicine jars from Oldies Depot and led Stelle and Jiang Yu onward.
• The group heard that IPC representatives were arguing with dockworkers and went to investigate.
• Sushang defended the dockworkers, while the merchant guild secretary asked her to leave the matter to the guild.
• An IPC representative accused the guild of poor management and unpaid rent, then demanded to know who the three newcomers were.
• Bailu, Stelle, and Jiang Yu answered that they came from an egg, a Stellaron, and their mom, leaving the representative speechless.

Scott confronted Sushang and the Aurum Alley Merchant Guild over overdue rent, then wagered that the guild could not pay. Sushang accepted the bet, while Jiang Yu quietly considered teaching Scott a lesson.

• Scott blamed the Aurum Alley Merchant Guild for the docks' troubles and demanded an apology over its unpaid rent.
• Sushang challenged Scott's assumption that the guild could not pay, and Scott bet that she would have to apologize and bark like a dog if it failed.
• Sushang accepted Scott's terms, and he left with his subordinates after announcing the bet to the crowd.
• The guild secretary and a worker worried that Sushang had been dragged into a bad wager, but Sushang said Scott's arrogance had provoked her.
• Jiang Yu said Scott needed a lesson for his own sake, and Stelle suspected he had other motives.

Jiang Yu used his IPC connections to threaten Scott’s job during the dispute over Aurum Alley Dock, while Sushang argued against going that far. After learning that the dock could not pay its rent, Jiang Yu proposed putting Stelle in charge of turning it around.

• Siberian Duck mocked Scott on his livestream and joined the bet against him, while chat viewers joked about Jiang Yu and Brother Yellow Pee.
• Jiang Yu told the group he could have Scott fired, explaining that Topaz had offered him the dock or Scott’s dismissal after consulting the IPC.
• Sushang objected to firing Scott over his rude words, and Jiang Yu turned his attention to Topaz’s messages about Argenti, Black Cleave, and other Factory business.
• Mingxi introduced herself as the Aurum Alley Merchant Guild secretary and admitted that the dock could not currently pay its rent.
• Jiang Yu said they should run the dock properly and prove Scott wrong, then recommended Stelle because she had experience managing a museum.
