Yucheng, Ei, and their companions celebrated at a banquet where Ei’s disastrous cooking became a secret everyone tried to endure. The gathering ended with plans to abolish the Sakoku Decree, and a few days later Inazuma officially announced its abolition.

• Yucheng, Ei, Miko, Lumine, Paimon, Sara, Ayaka, Kokomi, and Kuki Shinobu held a banquet, where Ei grilled charred skewers and Yucheng used his spatial ability to hide the food he pretended to eat.

• After three days, Yucheng built a three-story wooden house with Wood Release in his newly lush Kamui Dimension.

Yucheng emerged from seclusion after three days and found Ei, Ayaka, and Kokomi arguing with Sara, who had obeyed his order to keep everyone away. Ei proposed that Yucheng give Sara the Uchiha surname, leaving Sara bashful and the others stunned.

• Ayaka and Kokomi asked Ei to intervene after Sara repeatedly blocked them from bringing Yucheng government documents.
• Ei went to the Regent's Office, but Sara refused to let even the Shogun disturb Yucheng during his seclusion.

• Yucheng explained that he had been occupied and used Dendro Elemental Energy to lift Sara to her feet.
• Ei suggested that Yucheng give Sara the Uchiha surname because she needed a family name, and Sara blushed and lowered her head.

• As the ship left Inazuma behind, La Signora spotted a figure flying toward her at high speed.

• Scaramouche arrived aboard La Signora's freighter and demanded the Electro Archon's Gnosis.
• La Signora refused to hand it over, insisting she would take it back to Snezhnaya and give it to Her Majesty.
• Scaramouche attacked La Signora, revealing that he cared more about strength and revenge than serving the Cryo Archon.
• La Signora froze the ship and sea and attacked with ice, but Scaramouche dodged her and bombarded her with lightning from the air.
• La Signora surrendered the Gnosis to stop Scaramouche's assault, and he caught it.

Scaramouche took the Electro Gnosis and killed La Signora, destroying her ship as part of his plan to provoke a war between Snezhnaya and Inazuma. Uchiha Yucheng confronted him at sea, severed his arm, and whisked him away, leaving the outcome of their encounter unknown.

• Scaramouche placed the Electro Gnosis in his chest, found it gave him no power, and resolved to become a god through The Doctor's experiment.

• Yucheng used his Sharingan to twist space and sever Scaramouche's right arm.
• Yucheng took Scaramouche away with an irresistible force, then left the sea behind him calm.

Uchiha Yucheng captured Scaramouche, explained why Raiden Ei had abandoned him, and released him with the Electro Gnosis and his mechanical arm. As Scaramouche left, Yucheng revealed that Niwa had not betrayed him and that the heart Scaramouche received had been Niwa’s.

• Scaramouche awoke in Yucheng’s courtyard, where Yucheng explained he would release him rather than risk giving Snezhnaya grounds for war with Inazuma.
• Yucheng told Scaramouche that Raiden Ei had rejected him as a Gnosis vessel after seeing him cry in his sleep, and Scaramouche rejected the explanation.
• Scaramouche handed Yucheng the Electro Gnosis, but Yucheng returned it and gave him his mechanical right arm, expecting him to pursue godhood with The Doctor in Sumeru.
• Yucheng sent Scaramouche out of his Kamui Dimension and revealed that Niwa had not fled out of guilt; the heart in the device that absorbed Tatarasuna’s filth had been Niwa’s.

After securing the Gnosis deal, Inazuma used Snezhnaya’s supplies and manpower to begin developing Seirai Island and Tsurumi Island, while Yucheng and Raiden Ei dealt with Seirai’s greatest threat. With housing built and reclamation underway, Yucheng looked toward Liyue and decided it was time to return.

• Inazuma received photographs showing Scaramouche killing La Signora, while Snezhnaya learned it had lost two Harbingers and Pantalone fainted upon hearing Scaramouche had taken the Gnosis.
• The Raiden Shogun and the Regent announced plans to clear and develop Seirai Island and Tsurumi Island, offering homes and land to people who joined the work.

Yucheng faced Shenhe’s three masters as she openly declared him her boyfriend, while Zhongli urged them to consider his new standing as Inazuma’s Regent. The adepti struggled to object to the couple, and Ganyu’s own feelings for Yucheng quietly grew as she watched them together.

• Shenhe broke free of Cloud Retainer and introduced Yucheng as the man she had chosen.

• Yucheng explained that he had returned to Liyue to renew diplomatic ties and to see Shenhe, then took her hand and smiled at her.

• After the banquet, Yucheng quietly spoke to Yelan, who took him to Yanshang Teahouse to hear what he had discovered.
• Yucheng drank from Yelan’s cup and told her that Uncle Tian had been poisoned.
