In The Sweltering Morning Sun
The crew of the Trailblazer, consisting of March and Dan Heng, finally arrives at Jarilo-VI, a planet that has been devastated by the Eternal Freeze. This catastrophic winter, caused by the immense power of a Stellaron, has rendered the planet uninhabitable. Additionally, the Fragmentum, a peculiar phenomenon, spawns formidable monsters that pose a threat to humans and their creations.
As the crew approaches the capital city of Belobog with the intention of resolving the Stellaron crisis, they find themselves in a dire situation. Supreme Guardian Cocolia, under the influence of the Stellaron, accuses them of plotting to overthrow the government of Belobog. Consequently, they are labeled as fugitives and must evade the pursuit of the Belobog police.
In order to escape the clutches of the authorities, the crew seeks refuge in the Underworld, a hidden realm beneath the planet’s surface. It is here that they discover the existence of the peacekeeping organization known as Wildfire. They also learn about the ongoing conflict between Wildfire and Svarog, the leader of the robots, who stubbornly refuses to engage in peace negotiations.
After engaging in a fierce battle against Svarog and acquiring valuable information about the Stellaron, the crew resurfaces to confront Cocolia. However, she has merged herself with the Stellaron and is determined to eliminate the Astral Express crew. Despite the odds stacked against them, the crew manages to defeat Cocolia and emerge victorious.
In a surprising turn of events, Bronya, who happens to be Cocolia’s adopted daughter, steps forward to assume the role of the new Supreme Guardian. She not only takes charge of the government but also announces her plans to unite the Underworld and Belobog, thereby fostering harmony between the two realms.

While awaiting the commencement of their journey to Penacony, March 7th and the Trailblazer are contacted by Bronya, who invites them to a festival in Belobog. Upon their arrival, they discover that Topaz, an agent of the IPC, is trying to collect a long-standing debt from centuries ago, predating the planting and subsequent eradication of the Stellaron on Belobog. Despite their efforts to negotiate, March 7th and the Trailblazer are unable to resolve the debt. Subsequently, IPC workers launch an invasion of the Underworld, only to be thwarted by the Trailblazer and March 7th. Topaz orders the workers to cease the invasion. Bronya contemplates a proposal from Topaz to allow the IPC to take control of Belobog, but changes her mind when Himeko descends from the Astral Express to inform her that the IPC has a success rate of only 20% in managing planets that accept such proposals. A confrontation ensues between the Trailblazer, March 7th, and Topaz, which is halted by Bronya’s intervention. Witnessing the progress made by Belobog’s inhabitants in rebuilding their planet, Topaz decides to depart temporarily and is demoted by the IPC for failing to fulfill her duties.

Following the events of Jolted Awake From a Winter Dream, the Trailblazer receives a message from a streamer named Guinaifen and makes their way back to the Xianzhou Luofu to meet up with her. Upon arrival, Guinaifen informs the Trailblazer about encountering “ghosts” alongside a Cloud Knight named Sushang on the Xianzhou Luofu. Together, they venture to Fyxestroll Garden where they encounter Hanya, Xueyi, and Huohuo, who are members of the Ten-Lords Commission.
The trio explains to Guinaifen and the Trailblazer that the apparitions they witnessed are heliobi, ancient ghost-like enemies of the Xianzhou Alliance. They caution them about the dangers of staying in the garden. Huohuo takes the initiative to guide Guinaifen and the Trailblazer out of Fyxestroll Garden, but to their surprise, Guinaifen suddenly vanishes without a trace. The Trailblazer embarks on a search for Guinaifen but ends up trapped in a mirror, where they encounter Cirrus, one of the heliobi. With Cirrus’ assistance, they manage to escape the illusion, only to face a new heliobus named Furynox. However, defeating Furynox enables Cirrus to absorb the remaining heliobi, leading to an attempt to overpower the group and seize control of Fyxestroll Garden. In response, the Trailblazer and their companions unite forces to confront Cirrus and compel him to retreat.
Subsequently, Guinaifen, Sushang, Huohuo, and the Trailblazer gather the heliobi that escaped from Fyxestroll Garden and return them to their rightful place. During this process, they discover that Huohuo had strayed in search of her helibous friend, Tail, and had become possessed by an unrelated heliobus. The crew successfully rescues Huohuo and returns to Fyxestroll Garden, only to find that Cirrus had taken advantage of their absence to repeat his previous scheme. However, with the combined efforts of the crew and Jing Yuan, they manage to defeat Cirrus once again.
