Shion’s contamination overwhelmed Main God Space while Prince Itaen rallied the survivors and Yarrow fought her master to help them escape. Yarrow’s Reality Marble and sealing magic injured Shion and bought the Holy Church time to break free, but Hogwarts was swallowed by the Other Shore Plateau as Yarrow faced her wounded master.
Shion's attack devastated the New World, and Keke discovered that Susan had burned the Beihai Disaster Countermeasures Bureau's members in the Time Furnace to send them to the Other Shore Plateau. Keke reached Chongxu and found Yarrow dead beside Bingtang and a vast pit filled with bodies, leaving her confronting Black Keke's argument that another cycle was necessary.
Shion seized the Void Mirror and Heaven Devouring Demonic Jar from Prince Itaen, then continued her destruction across the New World. Iris defeated Qingluan’s Shion form at great personal cost, but the real Shion arrived and unleashed a Buddha’s Fury Flame Lotus on Iris, Qingluan, Jiegeng, headquarters, and the Mental Image Remnants.
Jiegeng, Iris, and Qingluan faced Shion in what Shion considered a graduation exam, while Jiegeng’s plan revealed that Shion could no longer use magic. Tiana’s trap wounded Shion and made her remember Tiana, but Shion unleashed her transformed power and ended the chapter by spearing through the Land of the End.
Shion defeated Jiegeng, while Iris rejected the Beast of the End’s offer of power and was sent back to headquarters. Shion reached the heart of the Bureau’s plan, where Keke confronted her in a blaze of magic.
Keke and Shion fought while Qingluan’s enlightenment triggered an advancement, but Shion judged Keke’s repeated self-sacrifice a failure and moved to stop the evacuation. Iris held Shion back with her ultimate attack, yet Shion emerged from the black hole and awarded Iris a passing grade.
Shion reached Bingtang’s spreading ice Mental Image after Bingtang had dealt with Four Leaves and Six Leaves, and the two shared the engagement-breaking ceremony they had promised each other. Bingtang froze herself in an eternal moment, gave Jiang Si her Miracle Seed, and left him to continue the plan as the New World collapsed.
Shuangsheng mourned Bingtang and her lost home, then transformed from a witch into a magical girl and challenged Witch Shion. After Xilan took over the fight, Shion entered the spatial turbulence and faced Blue Flower’s powerful, gender-bent ancestral magical puppets.
Blue Flower used ancestor spirit tablets and the Seven True Disciples to trap Shion in a battle that grew into the Chaos Universe Unfettered Golden Bridge Formation. Just as Shion began pushing back Blue Flower’s World Style, Bai Mei stabbed her from behind, and the descending sword sea swallowed her.
Bai Mei, Blue Flower, and Yumo nearly killed Shion through a coordinated ambush, but Shion’s hidden Personal Reality let her transform again and defeat them. After punishing Blue Flower and Yumo, Shion faced Bai Mei, who drew her sword and challenged the Dragon Lord alone.
Keke struggled with whether to restart the run, rejected Qianye’s offer to help her defeat Shion, and continued toward a final battle. As Bai Mei fought Shion across the World Tree, Bai Mei unleashed a single sword strike that grievously wounded Shion and split the World Tree in two.
After Shion’s battle with the World Tree left the Holy Church and countless magical girls falling into an abyss, Keke sacrificed her own life force to transform into a sun and save them. She entrusted Yitaen with rescuing the souls stored in Chongxu, then confronted Shion for their final lesson as Shion struck at her with No Sword.
Keke discovered that running forward gave her a view beyond Jiang Si’s back, and she surpassed him before reaching a dazzling sunrise. In the frozen cosmos, she returned to face Shion, whose No Sword slash split Keke and her Mental Image, but Keke’s Eternal Samsara reversed time and restored her for a retest.
An Shiyu awakened as a magical girl and helped Keke rally Chongxu’s magical girls and ordinary people against Shion. Keke unleashed the wishes of thirty million cycles of reincarnation, but the power began destroying her body as she transformed into a vessel for everyone’s miracles and engulfed Shion.
Keke survived the abyss and defeated Shion, only to learn that the Miracle Seed she had carried belonged to her brother, Jiang Si. After Jiang Si used the Time Branch to send her into the past, Keke returned to the day she first received the seed, where her brother began to disappear.
Keke relived a childhood with Jiang Si before waking at her parents’ funeral and wandering into a Calamity Beast attack, where she saved a girl and unleashed the power of her Miracle Seed. Meanwhile, Qianye discovered that Shion had used her own Miracle Seed to make the World Tree treat Keke and Shion as the same person, rewriting Keke’s records as Shion’s leaf burned away.
Keke built the Azure Cloud Sect, grew into Magical Girl Emperor Liuli, and fought the Incubators’ attempt to overwrite her identity and destroy the world. Bolstered by the wishes of thirty million reincarnations, she kept her sense of self, destroyed the World Tree, and began rebuilding a new world.
Keke scattered her power to restore countless worlds, then fell asleep after remembering a birthday with an unknown companion. As a new World Tree began growing from her, a golden curse brought the erased young man back into being.
The boy restored the New World and returned its people to life, then faced disappearance as the cost of Subtracting to Attain Emptiness. He became a purple magical girl through his Personal Reality, while Qianye reclaimed magical girls’ power and the chapter ended with him striking across time.
Qianye confronted the Nameless One, transformed into a magical girl, and was consumed by the World Tree after remembering why she had chosen it. The Nameless One defeated the Beast of the End, restored the swallowed worlds, and reshaped time and the magical girls’ path before departing beyond the Other Shore.
Shi Xin was rescued from the dead land by the Nameless Immortal Emperor, who restored the souls of the magical girls and sent them back to their lives. The Emperor then traveled upstream through time, repairing tragedies and visiting her own family, until a distant voice called her name: “Jiang Si!”
Keke recovered her memories of Teacher Shion and her brother, Jiang Si, during a world-consuming golden curse, then called his true name and helped bring him back to the mortal world. Jiang Si returned before Keke as the Immortal Emperor, and she reunited with him.
