Lin Yu faced the God of Oblivion’s attempt to claim him while Crow and other gods fought over the Eternal Prison. After Crow sent him to the innermost prison, Lin Yu met Bai Ying, who explained her role in preparing for an approaching Final Trial.
Lin Yu investigated the Ten Realms’ apocalypses in the Eternal Prison, learned about Lin Zhao and inherited Yun Fengyang’s arts, then joined forces with the God of Frost. The God of Shadows seized the prison, leaving Lin Yu and Earl searching for a way to complete Lin Yu’s final Duel.
Lin Yu survived an ambush in Eternal Prison with help arranged by Shen Bingmiao and completed his Eternal Trial. After learning that Shen Bingmiao had only hours left before losing herself, he promised to restore her self-awareness and then uncovered Xiao Yuan impersonating Paper Kite.
Lin Yu managed the fallout from the Divine Realm upheaval, helped conceal Shen Bingmiao’s condition, and entered Pure Ruins with Chen Le to search for the Nine Treasures. Their journey toward the Middle Sea brought them to Hannah’s aunt La, who tested Lin Yu’s cooking rather than his strength.
Lin Yu and Chen Le joined Ka’s feast, where Celestial King attacked and Yin Lan fought to protect him. After Order’s reinforcements arrived, Lin Yu launched his plan to draw them to the Museum and take the Nine Treasures amid a Sea Demon diversion.
Lin Yu and his companions uncovered the Nine Treasures’ locations in the ruins of Mu Continent, where Lin Yu met the self-aware corpse Tuke and agreed to help end his existence. The God of Shadows trapped Lin Yu in a nightmare as Xia Yue, and Lin Yu discovered that Xia Yue had deliberately drowned a boy.
Lin Yu escaped the God of Shadows' nightmare with Fang Qing's help, then bargained with the God of Desire while investigating the ruined city's Azure Sea Sky Dome. Night Watcher reinforcements interrupted his plans, and he trapped Tengshe in a repeating calamity before slitting his own throat inside the illusion.
Tengshe recovered the truth about Ruan Min and gave Lin Yu a Soul Fragment in exchange for help bringing her back. After the Freedom Alliance escaped Ruins City and Lin Yu secured Ka’s support, Lin Yu investigated Cold Cicada’s role in the election and began negotiating with the captured God of Desire.
Lin Yu secured the God of Desire’s cooperation and discovered evidence that Lin Zhao was not completely dead. He then entered the Prison Mountain Realm with Jian Cunyi to pursue the Diviner, but their search for supplies led them into the Duxuan Sect and its dangerous alternating Yin Side.
Lin Yu and Jian Cunyi uncovered Living Foot’s grip on the Duxuan Sect, defeated it, and exposed the Diviner’s scheme. Lin Yu escaped with Qin Siyu while Jian Cunyi faced the Diviner, whose Heart Domain turned the battle against him.
Jian Cunyi revealed his Humanity Authority while Lin Yu and Qin Siyu escaped Cold Cicada’s pursuit and entered Nine Cold Mountain. Lin Yu infiltrated Meng Qingjun’s birthday gathering, while Qin Siyu met the captive artisan Wei Jian inside the cave.
Lin Yu manipulated Meng Qingjun and the Yaomo into fighting the Snake Yaoguai, then confronted Cold Cicada and uncovered the Emperor and the Diviner’s involvement. After escaping, Lin Yu learned that their plan concerned an ancient palace, which Master Wei Jian identified as the Great Rui Ancient Capital Divine King Palace Ruins.
Lin Yu uncovered the Diviner’s plan to free Gan Duo and used a Reversal Pocket Watch to restore Qin Siyu, while Jian Cunyi, Yun Fengyang, and Master Wei Jian rebuilt the Demon Ancestor’s seal. After bringing Qin Siyu home, Lin Yu discovered the Diviner had taken the villagers’ souls and concealed the truth from her, then left with her as his follower.
Lin Yu uncovered the Diviner’s alliance with the Emperor and warned the Freedom Alliance that Shenzhen would become a battlefield. The Alliance chose to stay and support the Director, while Lin Yu reunited Qin Siyu with Li Nian and arranged for her to settle into life in the City That Never Sleeps.
Lin Yu uncovered the Second Generation Freud’s identity and brought Order intelligence about the Diviner and Emperor’s plans in Shenzhen. He prepared to face the coming conflict with a new item and told Good Night to expose the mole in Order, while memories of Lin Zhao filled his quiet night.
Lin Yu uncovered Fluoxetine’s past and the violent destruction of the Human Evolution Research Institute before using Mental Power to put Shenzhen’s non-Players into a sleepwalking state. As the election venue descended into chaos, he pursued First Generation Jung on the subway and began questioning him about his conflict with Freud.
Lin Yu uncovered the Diviner’s plan to bring the Emperor into Shenzhen and confronted the Diviner while Gu Mo and Jian Cunyi fought the invasion. As Lin Yu evaded the Chancellor and Cold Cicada, the Freedom Alliance cornered the Chancellor, only for the Celestial King to arrive and begin casting Super-Tier Magic.
Lin Yu pursued the Director and uncovered Chancellor’s betrayal, but the Secretary’s death triggered the Diviner’s artificial Shenzhen instance. As Ten Realms allies prepared to enter the city, Lin Yu and Li Hua moved to regroup their people.
Lin Yu and the Players fought to stop the Diviner from destroying the Instance and opening a passage to the Ten Realms, while Tengshe and Bifang helped contain the threat. After the Instance was cleared, the Emperor dragged Lin Yu, Li Hua, Qianhuan, and Old Zhou into his Divine Kingdom, where they faced his execution order and learned that Lin Yu had been isolated from the start.
Lin Yu survived the Emperor’s assault and joined Order’s investigation into the Secretary, Supreme Evolution, and the God Creation Project. After uncovering the Death game’s history and preparing for Freud’s Trial, he entered the Barren Realm with his team.
