• Over several months, Adil shifted from hesitating to saying he would consider joining the Emerald Tower, and Kurid came to visit again.

Kurid brought his teacher, the Fifth Order wizard Ximal, to meet Arthur, whose display of knowledge and admiration impressed the old wizard. Ximal invited Arthur to become his student, and Arthur accepted, further securing his connection to the Emerald Tower.

• Adil gathered rare materials in the tower and returned to his laboratory, where he reviewed the five bloodlines remaining from 378 candidates.
• Adil chose to use other bloodlines as fuel for his Moon Elf bloodline’s transformation, avoiding the risks of merging them into his true body.

• Zar, Son of Emerald, slew the Calamity Spirits and used the Emerald Sword to sever the Elf bloodline from Mother of Emerald, ending the curse at the cost of his life.

Arthur learned how the Son of Emerald severed the elves’ bloodline ties to the Mother of Emerald, then spent nearly five years at the Emerald Tower advancing his research and reaching the peak of the Fourth Order. Meanwhile, Yara used Arthur’s potions to control his violent bloodline and pressed Kuru for news of the coming World War, as Arthur emerged from his laboratory confident that his Fifth Order advancement was approaching.

• Arthur understood that the Son of Emerald had protected the elves from the Calamity Curse by severing their ties to the Mother of Emerald, while Arthur’s inherited Moon Elf bloodline remained cursed because its ties had persisted.
• Arthur decided to prepare for the coming World War by completing the first step of the Bloodline Secret Tome in his laboratory.
• Yara rampaged among bull corpses until Kuru arrived with Arthur’s crimson potions, which calmed Yara’s bloodline and restored his composure.

• Nearly five years later, Arthur emerged from his laboratory having reached the peak of the Fourth Order, and he judged that his Fifth Order advancement was drawing near.

Arthur entered the Emerald High Tower’s World Gate and arrived in a world that rejected magic power. After learning local customs from nearby corpses, he traveled toward signs of life and was found wounded by a woman and her coachman.

• Arthur admired the World Gate as Kuru explained the coming world war and warned him to limit his impact after entering the other world.
• Arthur went through the World Gate despite Kuru’s offer to let him wait, then arrived in a dim grassland beside several fresh corpses.
• Arthur discovered that using magic power triggered the world’s rejection, so he used spiritual force to read the corpses’ memories and changed into local clothing.
• Arthur followed signs of life north and reached a road where a carriage found him lying unconscious with a severe chest wound.
• The woman ordered Waff to bring Arthur into the carriage after learning he was still alive and seeing his fine clothes.

Arthur woke in Flari’s carriage after she and her family rescued him, and used Glazed Stones to secure a ride to Talin City. He realized the teleportation had sent him into Hall of the Dead territory with unstable protection, suspected Yala might be responsible, and prepared for further danger.

• Arthur pretended to be an injured doctor and thanked Flari for rescuing him, offering her Glazed Stones in return.
• Flari agreed to take Arthur to Talin City, their shared destination, and told Kefu and Dili to care for him.
• Arthur recalled that the Undead Disaster had devastated the region and that most city leaders had been controlled by undead.
• Arthur realized his teleportation had gone wrong, placing him in Hall of the Dead territory while his protective power weakened.
• Arthur considered Yala a possible culprit, since Arthur’s growing standing at the Emerald High Tower threatened Yala’s position as heir.
• Flari excitedly showed Waf an emerald gemstone outside the carriage as Arthur resolved to watch for further attacks.

Arthur traveled with Waff and Flari toward Talin City while concealing his true nature and learning of the danger in the region. As the group reached the city, Macdo set out after sensing a related bloodline, and Arthur realized an unknown presence was targeting his aura.

• Waff inspected Arthur and, convinced he was a genuine wounded physician, warmly discussed traveling to Talin City instead of Balali City.
• Arthur recognized that Balali City was controlled by the Hall of the Dead and kept his concerns to himself while gathering information from Waff and Flari.
• Macdo agreed to Yala's request to deal with a silver-haired Moon Elf, then violently expelled the messenger and followed the direction indicated by a drop of golden Elf Blood.
• Arthur sensed an unfamiliar presence nearby as the World's Protection vanished, but his Transmigration Ability made the world recognize him as a native and stopped its rejection.
• Arthur realized the presence was targeting his aura rather than his protection, and the group arrived at Talin City.

Arthur remained in a small city, where he ran a clinic while waiting for a chance to return to the Wizard World, until Macdo of the Pale Hand confronted him. Their clash revealed that Arthur had reached the peak of the Fourth Order, and the chapter ended as Arthur summoned the Moon King Form against Macdo.

• Arthur stayed in the city and ran a clinic, while Flari's family brought their children to visit him each day.

• Arthur and Macdo recognized that Arthur had reached the peak of the Fourth Order, and Macdo blamed Yala for misleading him about Arthur's strength.
• Macdo launched a spatial spell, and Arthur used the Distortion Barrier to withstand it before summoning the Moon King Form.

Arthur and Macdo fought until Macdo recognized Arthur as a Child of Destiny and called off the battle, trading Yala’s blood for Arthur’s potions. Macdo later learned from his black sword that Arthur’s World Star marked him as a rival to Yala’s destiny, leaving Yala’s future in doubt.

• Arthur’s Moon God power shattered Macdo’s body, but Macdo’s skeletal form and high-grade Magic Artifact wounded Arthur.
• As Macdo’s black sword struck, Arthur prepared to use his Transmigration Ability, but Macdo stopped after seeing the purple World Star above him.
• Macdo sheathed his sword, gave Arthur a drop of Yala’s blood, and revealed that Yala had sent him to kill Arthur while withholding information.
• Arthur gave Macdo potions to stabilize his body, and Macdo left after agreeing to pay if they worked.
• Macdo’s black sword identified Arthur as a Child of Destiny and warned that Yala might face a disastrous fate.

Arthur received a potent Fourth Order bloodline from Macdo but realized he needed a higher-grade one to advance. As the Emerald High Tower began subjugating the weakened world, Arthur left Talin City and returned to Hemuk, who showed him the clashing World Powers as a source of insight for reaching the Fifth Order.

• Macdo advised that the coming Outbreak Period would bring many Children of Destiny and urged Macdo to advance to the Fifth Order and take control of the Hall of Undying.
• Arthur received a Fourth Order activated bloodline from Macdo, but concluded it could not help him advance beyond his peak Fourth Order state and thought of Yala's Elf Emperor bloodline.
• Arthur stayed in Talin City as the Wizards' conquest brought undead, plagues, and warfare across the world, choosing to continue running his clinic.
• The Emerald High Tower appeared and spread its domain over the weakened world, while Arthur marked two children before answering its call and vanishing from the clinic.
• Arthur returned to Hemuk, who took him to the World Gate and encouraged him to study the collisions between World Powers for insight into becoming a Fifth Order Wizard.

After studying the World Gate’s revelations, Arthur gained Hemuk’s permission to return and learn from the clashing domains. He then confronted Yala on a tower plaza, where his sudden sword strike was blocked by a golden Magic Artifact.

• Arthur absorbed the mysteries revealed by the warring domains while the Chip analyzed and recorded them.

• Arthur teleported to a plaza where Yala and Kuru were among the returning elven wizards.
• Arthur pulled Yala out of the crowd and struck him with his Silver Longsword, but a golden barrier from Yala’s chest crystal stopped the blow.
• Arthur confronted Yala as Yala reacted furiously to the attack.

Arthur fought Yala in the plaza, revealing his Moon King Form and overwhelming Yala’s Sun Emperor Form. After exposing Yala’s role in framing him, Arthur trapped him inside layered wizard formations.

• Arthur unleashed his Fourth Order peak power against Yala, who transformed into his Sun Emperor Form and attacked within a golden Sun Domain.
• Arthur transformed into his Moon King Form, broke through Yala’s domain, and repeatedly struck him, shattering the golden crystal Magic Artifact.
• Arthur exposed Yala’s scheme to tamper with the World Gate and frame him, replaying evidence that implicated Yala before the watching Elves.
• Arthur silenced Yala’s attempt to respond and trapped him within layers of wizard formations.

Arthur defeated Yara in a public clash between their Moon Elf and Sun Emperor bloodlines, then took some of Yara’s Sun Blood. After absorbing it in his laboratory, Arthur completed a smooth bloodline transformation and discovered how naturally the two bloodlines combined.

• Arthur unleashed his Moon Elf power and struck Yara with a torrent of elemental energy, while their bloodlines formed a vision of the World Tree bearing sun and moon marks.
• Hemuk stopped the fight before Arthur could deliver a final blow, and Arthur accepted his intervention while keeping golden blood beaten from Yara.
• Arthur returned to his laboratory, concentrated Yara’s blood into a few drops of Sun Blood, and absorbed them using the Bloodline Secret Tome.
• After three days, Arthur opened his eyes and found that he had absorbed the Sun Blood without difficulty, as if the Sun Emperor and Moon Elf bloodlines had always been one.

Arthur realized the Sun Bloodline could help him reach the Fifth Order and strengthen his claim to succeed the Emerald High Tower. Meanwhile, Yara recovered from his bloodline rampage after sensing Arthur’s blood, then concluded that devouring Arthur might cure his Bloodline Disease.

• Arthur reflected on his advantage in public opinion over Yara and judged that surpassing Yara’s bloodline and strength was the key to becoming heir.
• After absorbing a fragment of Sun Blood, Arthur sensed he was close to the Fifth Order and suspected devouring Yara would greatly increase his power.
• Yara’s Sun Bloodline rampaged for months despite the tower’s formations, but he finally suppressed it through sheer will and returned to normal.
• Yara realized Arthur’s Moon Elf bloodline had temporarily soothed his Bloodline Disease and thought devouring Arthur might cure it permanently.
