Aurora Sterling brews spiritual soup to nurse her mother Elara Lowell back to health, and accidentally learns that her mother is afflicted with the Soul-Eater Curse and bound by Karmic Chains, leaving her only thirty days to live. The system prompts that the ancient Equinox Flower from the Nether Valley in The Southern Frontier can stabilize bloodlines, so the group travels to The Southern Frontier. On the way, they slay a six-headed White Phosphor Python. When Aurora visits the market, she learns that Faye Bloom is about to be forced to marry Silas Serpent. To awaken Jasper Yates, the reincarnation of The Greenwood King who can bloom the Equinox Flower, Aurora plans a wedding heist: Kaelen Sterling and the First Senior Brother go to the Bloom Clan to draw attention, while Aurora sneaks into Faye Bloom's chamber, as forces from The Divine Domain have already secretly targeted the group.
