• Li Ge used the Time Stone to launch the group through a spacetime passage and subconsciously placed a replicated Time Stone beside the original.

After spacetime rejected Christine’s return to the present, Li Ge sent her from the Endgame World into the Samsara Realm to save her from being erased. The six Replica Infinity Stones transformed her into the first life-form belonging to the Samsara Realm, but she was immediately sent back through the passage to the Endgame World.

• The Church publicly revealed the lotus and Li Ge’s plans for the Transcendent Continents and Super Earth, while its followers spread praise of Li Ge and preached to those who came to ask questions.

Arale, Wanda, Erik, and ten thousand followers of Li Ge traveled into space to establish a transcendent continent, settling the All-Encompassing Heaven Colored Lotus at a suitable point along the moon’s orbit.

Arale, Wanda, and the believers performed a prayer formation to summon Li Ge’s power, while Li Ge answered from within Block World. The chapter ended with a grass block falling through a spatial rift onto the All-Encompassing Heaven Colored Lotus.

• Arale and Wanda led ten thousand priests and knights in forming a prayer and power-borrowing formation on the All-Encompassing Heaven Colored Lotus.
• Tony’s group, the aircraft crews, and observers on Earth, the Moon, and the Inhuman Kingdom watched the formation take shape.
• Li Ge continued reproducing the Nine Heavens and celestial bodies inside Block World as the believers’ prayers reached him.
• Li Ge opened the Eye of Chaos and sent an ordinary grass block through space and time toward Earth.
• A spatial rift opened at the center of the formation, and the grass block fell into view on the lotus platform.

She announced that every transcendent could create a Transcendent Continent of their own, leaving the crowd stunned by the possibility.

• Arale took the grass block as Wanda slipped into the crowd to avoid being seen.
• Tony, Coulson, Erik, Peter, Gwen Stacy, and Harry recognized the block’s connection to Li Ge and speculated about its power and the chance to build their own bases.

• Arale explained that Daughter Cubes let their owners travel between the cube and a ritual diagram, build block bases, and use increasing numbers of blocks according to their rank.
• Arale said the bases could withstand space conditions and move around the Solar System, then declared that all transcendents could build their own Transcendent Continent.
• The crowd realized that the announcement meant each transcendent could create a separate continent of their own.

Arale explained the child cubes to the gathered heroes as a way for Transcendents to gain mobile bases that could grow with them. Thor tried to make a ritual diagram on the All-Encompassing Heaven Colored Lotus, prompting Arale to expel him before she resumed her presentation, unaware that someone in the Mirror Dimension coveted her cube.

• Tony, Nick Fury, Coulson, Barton, Natasha, and Bruce discussed Li Ge’s plans and the freedom to obtain child cubes.

• Arale raised the cube and prepared to continue explaining it while a gloomy figure in the Mirror Dimension watched her greedily.

Arale gave the believers Daughter Cubes and led them in building a vast block world around the All-Encompassing Heaven Colored Lotus. As the expanding structure formed an enormous eye above Earth, people watching from below yearned to create block bases of their own.

• Arale gave each of the ten thousand believers a Daughter Cube from the Mother Cube and told them to build a Transcendent Continent for the Church of Divine Revelation.

• The believers gathered materials from cube-made plants and animals as the paths spread into a huge ring that resembled an eye staring down at Earth.
• People on Earth watched the expanding structure and longed to build block bases of their own.

Arale and Wanda moved the Divine Eye Continent away from Earth as orbital cube bases threatened to crowd the planet’s sky. They established matching continents in three other worlds, where the central cathedrals took on designs chosen by local believers.

• Arale and Wanda pushed the Divine Eye Continent into deep space after cube bases began spreading through Earth's orbit and disrupting spaceflight and the climate.

• The Mother Cubes were sealed in the central cathedrals, where no one could control them without Li Ge's approval.
• Jimmy and the believers in the Mutants Nation World chose a seaside-temple design, while Logan and others in the Days of Future Past World chose football-stadium stands for their cathedrals.
• The Endgame World chose a nine-colored cocoon of light as its cathedral design, and Arale and Wanda later moved the Divine Eye Continents in all four worlds into deep space.

In the Block World, he refined vast quantities of materials with his Nine Extremes Primordial Fire, and the molten mass began taking the shape of a nine-story Tower Reaching Heaven.
