After learning that Fontaine’s crisis could require the Hydro Dragon King’s complete Ancient Dragon Authority, Li Qiuzhi suspected Focalors planned to destroy her divine throne and sacrifice herself to restore it. He sent allies to prepare a barrier against Primordial Sea Water and went to Fontaine to investigate Neuvillette and the rising sea.

• Li Qiuzhi returned to his room on the Space Station, left Lumine's Sword God to handle his post, and rested before resuming his cultivation with the girls.
• Li Qiuzhi asked Greater Lord Rukkhadevata about Teyvat’s authorities, and she explained how the divine thrones contained portions of the Element Dragon Kings’ Ancient Dragon Authority.
• Greater Lord Rukkhadevata explained that destroying a divine throne could return its authority to an Element Dragon King, but would also kill the god fused with it.

• Li Qiuzhi teleported himself and Clorinde to the Opera Epiclese, then asked her to lead him into the Fortress of Meropide.

Li Qiuzhi, Clorinde, and Wriothesley entered the Primordial Sea beneath the Fortress of Meropide so Li Qiuzhi could investigate it. He reinforced its failing seal with a formation and discovered an enormous, star-skinned, single-horned whale living in the sea.

• Clorinde brought Li Qiuzhi to Wriothesley, who explained his concerns about the Primordial Sea seal and led them to inspect it.
• Li Qiuzhi used two interlocking Four-Sided Peace Formations to reinforce the gate, causing its pressure gauge to drop to zero.
• Li Qiuzhi shielded himself, Clorinde, and Wriothesley from the Primordial Sea and teleported them through the gate to investigate.
• Li Qiuzhi scanned the Primordial Sea and found that it extended beneath the land as well as the seabed.
• Li Qiuzhi teleported Clorinde and Wriothesley to a huge whale with a single horn and star-like skin as it devoured Primordial Sea Water.

Li Qiuzhi defeated and captured the All-Devouring Narwhal in the Primordial Sea, stopping it from accelerating Fontaine’s prophesied flood. He left with Clorinde and Wriothesley to report back, intending to see Focalors before informing Arlecchino.

• Li Qiuzhi identified the All-Devouring Narwhal as a powerful creature linked to the Primordial Sea and brought it into his Void Sea of Stars, severing its connection to the sea.
• The All-Devouring Narwhal attacked Li Qiuzhi, but he bound it with tentacles and struck it with four Musou no Hitotachi attacks, knocking it unconscious.

• Li Qiuzhi teleported back to the room with the gate alongside Clorinde and Wriothesley, then planned to see Focalors before reporting to Arlecchino.

Li Qiuzhi showed Focalors the subdued All-Devouring Narwhal and persuaded her to delay her plan while they explored using surplus Indemnitium to develop the Akasha Internet. He then gave Furina Focalors’s authority seed, leaving Furina quietly emotional as he healed the whale nearby.

• Li Qiuzhi brought Focalors into the Void Sea of Stars and showed her the All-Devouring Narwhal, explaining that subduing it could delay Fontaine’s prophesied flooding.
• Li Qiuzhi revealed that he had guessed Focalors’s plan and urged her to wait while he searched for another solution to Fontaine’s crisis.
• Focalors agreed to work with Li Qiuzhi on the Akasha Internet and gave him a small statue containing some of her authority for Furina to use with surplus Indemnitium.
• Li Qiuzhi and Clorinde returned to Furina, and Li Qiuzhi showed her the whale and explained that it could delay the prophecy.
• Li Qiuzhi gave Furina Focalors’s authority seed, and Furina grew tearful as she complained about Focalors’s long absence.
• Li Qiuzhi moved away to heal the All-Devouring Narwhal while Furina sobbed nearby.

Li Qiuzhi gave Furina, Clorinde, and Focalors Beacons so Furina could secretly stay in touch with Focalors and call for Clorinde’s protection. He shared his discoveries about the Primordial Sea and the All-Devouring Narwhal, then secured Arlecchino’s cooperation and Primogem payment; the group later updated Nahida on the Akasha Internet plans.

• Li Qiuzhi explained that Beacons would let Furina and Focalors communicate privately, then gave one to Furina and, with her approval, another to Clorinde.
• Furina asked Li Qiuzhi to give Focalors a Beacon, and Focalors accepted it and began speaking with Furina.
• Li Qiuzhi told Lyney and Lynette that he had found clues about the Fortress of Meropide, then reported his discoveries to Arlecchino at the Bouffant Abode.
• Arlecchino agreed to continue cooperating against Fontaine’s prophesied crisis and paid Li Qiuzhi three hundred Primogems.
• Li Qiuzhi asked La Signora to help gather Primogems, then told Nahida that Furina would cooperate on developing the Akasha Internet.

• Li Qiuzhi left Herta’s office and headed to find Asta, learning from a researcher that she was at afternoon tea.

Li Qiuzhi asked Asta how to find monsters to fight and learned about Stellaron-contaminated zones, the Astral Express, and Xianzhou Alliance commissions. After testing a warp jump with Imaginary Internal Energy and deciding it could not take him far enough yet, he searched for nearby combat work and found a commission twenty-two light-years away.

• Li Qiuzhi told Asta he wanted to find monsters to fight and demonstrated that he could teleport back to the Space Station using an avatar.
• Asta explained how Stellarons create Fragmentums filled with Antimatter Legion forces and offered to ask the Astral Express crew to take Li Qiuzhi to one when they returned in two months.
• Asta suggested that Li Qiuzhi take a commission against Abominations of Abundance from a Xianzhou Alliance delegation arriving the day after tomorrow.
• Li Qiuzhi tested using Imaginary Internal Energy to warp through space, but calculated that traveling even one light-year would take more than a hundred days of charging.
• Li Qiuzhi searched the Xianzhou Alliance's external commissions and found a request for help at an outpost twenty-two light-years away that had been attacked by the Denizens of Abundance.

Li Qiuzhi tried to qualify for a Xianzhou Alliance commission to defend Baihuang Star while he waited for his credentials to be verified. Meanwhile, Lumine and her allies cleared Lyney and Lynette in court, but the trial exposed a link to the Serial Disappearances of Young Women Case, and their investigation continued after an attack by Clockwork Guards.

• Li Qiuzhi found the Baihuang Star defense commission and submitted his Herta Space Station credentials and a recording of himself exterminating the Swarm for verification.
• Asta sent Li Qiuzhi the Swarm video, and he uploaded it while waiting for the Interastral Peace Network to assess his record.
• Lumine, Paimon, and Navia found Halsey and determined that Cowell had tried to dissolve her with Primordial Sea Water before she fought back and left him in the magic box.
• At trial, Lumine and her allies presented evidence that cleared Lyney and Lynette, while Cowell's accomplice Vaughn dissolved as he tried to reveal the mastermind.
• Lumine, Paimon, and Navia resumed investigating the disappearances, and Lumine and her companions traced an attack by Clockwork Guards toward merchants who might have sold them in bulk.

Li Qiuzhi arranged to travel with Tingyun’s Minghuo Merchant Group to support the Xianzhou Alliance’s outpost on Baihuang Star. The ship reached the star as a confrontation with the Denizens of Abundance was underway.

• Tingyun escorted Li Qiuzhi to a guest room as the merchant ship warped toward Baihuang Star, with arrival expected in the early morning.
• At Baihuang Star, Xianzhou Alliance combat starskiffs faced seven or eight Living Warships, while a golden-furred Denizen of Abundance watched a pale-blue spirit fire inside a biological warship’s command room.

Jin Jiuyuan and the Hheliobi drew the Xianzhou Alliance into a standoff at Baihuang Star, where mara toxin had turned the Louyue beasts into Abominations of Abundance. When Tingyun's relief ship arrived, Li Qiuzhi went to the planet and began destroying the beasts attacking the garrison.

• Jin Jiuyuan warned the Hheliobi that the Xianzhou Luofu's reinforcements might arrive, but she said she was waiting for them and forced his depleted fleet to keep defending.
• Tingyun and Li Qiuzhi arrived aboard a commercial starskiff, learned that mara-struck beasts had thrown Baihuang Star's surface into chaos, and prepared to supply the spaceport.
• Li Qiuzhi left a Lumine's Sword God avatar with Tingyun and teleported to Baihuang Star, where he discovered mountain-sized mara-struck Louyue beasts surrounding a Xianzhou garrison.

• Li Qiuzhi used Musou no Hitotachi to cleave a Louyue Giant Beast in two.

The chapter leaves him facing the golden-furred leader in its command room as he investigates why the enemy fleet is withdrawing.

• Li Qiuzhi considered using Dustless Divine Maiden to cleanse the Mara-Struck Louyue Giant Beasts, but decided not to reveal that ability while others were watching.

• Li Qiuzhi spent most of his Experience Points to advance from level 111 to level 116, greatly strengthening himself.
• Li Qiuzhi recalled Lumine's Sword Gods and secretly left one behind, planning to knock out the remaining Louyue Giant Beasts at night for their Experience Points.
• Li Qiuzhi noticed the Denizens of Abundance's Living Warships withdrawing without fighting, then teleported aboard their central command ship while invisible.
• Li Qiuzhi entered the command room and used the Golden Eye of Conviction to inspect a golden-furred ape-like creature whose eyes burned with jade-green spirit flame.

Li Qiuzhi discovered that Phantylia was behind the Denizens of Abundance and secretly looted her warship while avoiding a direct fight. After he returned to the Minghuo, Phantylia appeared in the command room and found that her illusion could not affect him.

• Li Qiuzhi identified the Golden Ape leader as Phantylia, learned about Hheliobi, and judged that his abilities could protect him from her psychic attacks.
• Li Qiuzhi used Moon-Covering Tianquan to steal weapons and equipment from the Denizens of Abundance warship while Phantylia searched for the unseen intruder.
• Phantylia left the Golden Ape and ordered him to launch an all-out counterattack against the Xianzhou, so Li Qiuzhi teleported back to the Minghuo.
• Tingyun praised Li Qiuzhi for resolving the crisis on Baihuang Star and gained Friendship points with him.

• Li Qiuzhi took Raiden Makoto to the hot spring bathhouse and cultivated with her until her friendship level reached the maximum.

• Raiden Makoto told Li Qiuzhi that her soul body had fully recovered and asked him to join her and Ei in planting the Sacred Sakura the next day.
• Li Qiuzhi agreed to go to the shrine with them, since the Sacred Sakura seed needed to be planted.

Li Qiuzhi and the Raiden sisters successfully planted the Sacred Sakura by taking its seed five hundred years into the past. He then accompanied Raiden Ei into space to choose materials for forging new armor, placing an order through the Interastral Peace Corporation before they could collect it on the Xianzhou Luofu.

Li Qiuzhi helped Kuki Shinobu train in the Wonderland Space, and she reached level seventy before agreeing to stay there. The next morning, Mona asked Li Qiuzhi to take her and Layla beyond their world to study the stars, while Nahida explained that she had been working late to improve the Akasha Internet’s moderation system.
