Chapter Summaries

Aioetes and Eurydice discussed Kroya’s efforts to weaken faith in Light and Earth, including sunflower oil that could gradually improve human bodies across generations. In the Ark Garden, Miya led Kroya to a cursed West Coast Golden Apple Tree, whose blood summoned a resentful figure that called out Apollo.

• Aioetes recorded Light’s weakening and reflected on the danger deities posed to the world as Eurydice arrived with news about Kroya.
• Eurydice showed Aioetes sunflower oil containing eternal magic power and human data suggesting it could improve people and their descendants.
• Miya led Kroya and his Demon Legion through a ruined garden to the West Coast Golden Apple Tree, which Miya said had caused an ancient war.
• Kroya bit the tree’s last living golden apple and discovered it bled, while Miya explained that its blood could restore war-damaged land.
• Kroya saw Eros’s Arrow embedded in the apple’s astral spirit body, and the apple’s resentment summoned a blood-formed figure that called out Apollo.

Kroya battled Achilles, a resentful manifestation of the ancient hero, and used a forbidden spell before Miya began rebuilding Achilles’s body. Miya accepted Athena’s request to resurrect a few heroes who should not have died, and a song of Aquarius appeared as payment.

• Achilles emerged from the river and attacked Kroya, whose summoned plants and magical beasts held him back while he prepared a forbidden spell.
• Kroya cast Heavenly Tribulation Reincarnation Light, shattering the space around Achilles, who survived with severe injuries.
• Kroya asked Miya to grant Achilles’s wish, then shot him in the ankle with a golden bow, triggering Achilles’s memory of Apollo killing him.
• Miya began restoring Achilles with platinum magic, and Athena appeared through an olive branch to ask him to resurrect a few heroes in exchange for knowledge.
• Miya accepted Athena’s request, and a starlit bottle appeared in Achilles’s hand; Kroya recognized it as a constellation song of Aquarius.

Kroya examined the Starbound Bottle, arranged for Achilles to train his soldiers, and returned to work before answering Starry Town’s urgent invitation. There, Eurydice revealed part of the Ring of Radiance and offered it in exchange for an alliance against the gods of Earth and Light, prompting the deities to descend as Kroya realized Eurydice was setting them up.

• Kroya identified the starlight vessel as the Starbound Bottle and learned from Achilles that it held Aquarius’s power, while Achilles volunteered to train Kroya’s soldiers.
• Kroya reviewed his territory’s reports, approved giving Mir access to an Orpheus Swan Recorder Tree, and accepted Starry Town’s invitation.
• At Starry Town, Eurydice introduced Kroya and the Cardinals tried to arrange a romantic match for him before Eurydice declared that the war should end.
• Eurydice revealed a surviving portion of the Ring of Radiance and offered to hand it over if the gods allied against Earth and Light.
• The Cardinals’ deities began forcibly descending into them, and Eurydice told Kroya to scheme against the gods as they rushed toward the bait.

Eurydice bargained with the five deities for the Void Luminary Ark fragments and revealed a plan to weaken and confine them, while Kroya showed him how his eternal plan was changing life across his territory. The chapter ended with Eurydice discovering ordinary magic plants producing sunlight in an underground city.

• Eurydice asked the five deities for all the Void Luminary Ark fragments, and they agreed to give them to him when they descended.
• Eurydice told Kroya that Ilyst had been asked to look after him and was Miya’s apprentice, then explained his plan with Aioetes to restrict the deities and study their power.
• Eurydice showed Kroya a particle of separated eternal magic power, and Kroya decided to show him his progress toward godhood.
• Kroya took Eurydice through his territory, where villagers harvested alongside spirits and children rode red ponies, and explained that his sun-based power let ordinary people stand confidently among supernatural beings.
• Kroya revealed that he hoped to use fallen Light to help his people ascend to godhood, then brought Eurydice to an underground city where energy-storage trees and nightglow grass illuminated flourishing fields.

Kroya explained his plan to help people survive the coming Hour of No Light, and Eurydice gave him a book about Orbments and the Seven Sept-Terrions. After Miya revealed more about the Sept-Terrions and the Merfolk Tribe’s plans, Kroya built an Orbment capable of casting powerful magic without using his own mana.

• Kroya told Eurydice that he planned to use Sun Grass and sunflowers to help people adapt to darkness and survive the disasters expected after Light and Earth fell.
• Eurydice gave Kroya a book on Water Luminary Magic and Orbments, which also described the Seven Sept-Terrions and the Ring of Radiance and Sept-Terrion of Mirage.
• Eurydice agreed to stay in Kroya’s territory and take part in his adaptation experiment using sunflower oil.
• Miya told Kroya that the world held only two Sept-Terrions, explained the Mirage Sept-Terrion’s power, and revealed that the Merfolk Tribe intended to recreate it through alchemy.
• Kroya studied the Orbment book and made a pocket-watch-shaped Orbment that combined water, earth, and wind magic into a powerful Diamond Dust spell without consuming his mana.

Kroya transformed a Water Clock Flower into a powerful orbment and used a Fairy's Lake Flower’s divine luck to perform a prophecy. The prophecy revealed Jason among centaurs and produced the phantom of Sagittarius.

• Kroya and Miya discussed the dangers of spreading orbments, and Kroya decided to test them within his territory and secure them with magic plants.
• Kroya inscribed the Water Clock Flower, transforming it into an orbment that could use Water Luminary Magic and raising its power from level five to level seven.
• Kroya studied the Fairy's Lake Flower’s lucky threads and planned to use its power to prophesy about Aquarius's Starbound Bottle and the remaining heroes.
• Kroya inscribed the Fairy's Lake Flower with Hero's Prophecy, and its divine power and luck poured into the prophecy before most of its golden threads were consumed.
• The prophecy showed Kroya a young man surrounded by centaurs, identified him as Jason, and revealed the constellation Sagittarius.

Kroya and Miya discovered that the starry sky might be an artificial recording, then visited Achilles to learn about Chiron and Jason’s connection to the Golden Fleece. When Kroya’s Red Dragon Eggs began hatching, the Ancient Dragon Regnart appeared and stole them.

• Kroya inscribed the Fairy’s Lake Flower, and he and Miya drank its spring water and unraveled golden threads to gain heightened insight.
• Miya compared the current stars with Ark-era records and concluded that the starry sky was fake, warning Kroya not to observe it directly.
• Miya teleported Kroya to Achilles, who identified the Centaur constellation as Chiron and told them about Chiron, Jason, and the quest for the Golden Fleece.
• The Tower Spirit alerted Kroya that the Red Dragon Eggs were hatching, so Kroya brought Achilles and the others to the Dragon Nest.
• A sacred dragon appeared as the first egg cracked, seized the hatching Dragon Eggs, and vanished; Miya recognized it as the Ancient Dragon Regnart.

Kroya and Miya met the Ancient Dragon Regnart, who passed his mission to Kroya by creating the platinum mushroom known as the Void Luminary Paradise. Miya gave the mushroom to Kroya for his research, while she took the Ruby Dragons and Achilles away, leaving Kroya to study it.

• Miya explained that Regnart had stolen the dragon eggs for the Life Furnace and led Kroya and the others to his cloud island lair.
• Regnart showed Kroya the Life mycelium, which could link consciousness to the Mushroom People's kingdom, and used his life force to finish creating a platinum mushroom.
• Regnart vanished after passing his mission to Kroya, and the collapsing island revealed that the mushroom was the Void Luminary Ark, which Miya renamed Void Luminary Paradise.
• Miya brought everyone back to Dragon Egg Island and gave Kroya the mushroom, then took Achilles and the Ruby Dragons to find the Shepherd.
• Kroya watched Miya bombard the sea for sheltering Regnart and added a small fireball, while a divine beast silently vowed to retaliate once its supreme treasure was born.

Kroya sent Lina, Wante, and the other apprentices into the Void Luminary Paradise to explore its cities, and Wante discovered that green polo grass could reproduce rock sheep. After Wante ate a strange mushroom and merged with Fungus City, its consciousness awakened, leaving the apprentices facing a strange feast hosted by Wante, now the city's lord.

• Kroya sent the apprentices into the Void Luminary Paradise to plant seeds, explore, and light the cities with the Ring of Radiance.
• Lina let the rock sheep graze on green fungal grass, and Wante watched them multiply from five sheep to one hundred.
• Wante consulted mushroom people through fungal threads, who identified the grass as polo grass that could reproduce flesh bodies.
• Lina gave Wante a Fortune Potion, and he ate a strange mushroom before melting and merging with Fungus City's fungal network.
• Wante's mental turmoil awakened Fungus City, and its spores spread as Lina protected the apprentices with golden Sun Vines.
• Kroya warned the apprentices to light the torches and be wary of the fungi's idea of friendliness, while Wante appeared as the city's lord and invited them to a feast.

Lina and her companions discovered that Fungus City’s welcoming ritual was assimilating its visitors, so they fought through the fungal forest and summoned a Mother Nest to counter the fungus beasts. As the battle turned deadly, Lina ordered the Mother Nest to analyze Wante, whose connection to the mycelium might help them understand the threat.

• Wante explained that the feast mycelium could reproduce foods and grow from a nutrient solution, and the apprentices’ feather pigs devoured the meal.
• During the second ritual, Magic Crystal White Mice entered the river and were broken down into living strands of mycelium, while fungi tried to force Lina’s group into the water.
• Lina bound Wante with Kroya’s blessed chain and reminded him of his human identity, then chose to fight through the fungal forest instead of continuing the rituals.
• Fungus beasts overwhelmed the group’s magic plants and beasts, so Lina unlocked the team’s sealed egg and summoned a Mother Nest and insect swarm.
• Lina gave the Mother Nest a sunflower emblem, which it used to create angelic insect warriors, but two Leapers died in the battle after killing thousands of fungus beasts.
• Lina threw Wante into the Mother Nest and ordered it to analyze him because he was deeply connected to the local mycelium.

Lina and the apprentices’ assault on Fungus City triggered an Astral Particle Machine that transformed them and the Insect Swarm into stardust. Kroya learned that they were still alive and evolving, then used Miya’s power to understand the Blue Chapter’s starlight.

• The Mother Nest’s upgraded Insect Swarm overwhelmed the Fungus Beasts, while Lina and the apprentices collected fungi and discovered an unusually nutritious black liquid.
• The apprentices failed to restore contact with the outside before the Astral Particle Machine appeared and began disintegrating everything in its path.
• Wante identified the machine as a Titan creation that could assimilate living things into stardust, and Lina sent one apprentice underground in an insect egg before she and the Mother Nest were transformed.
• Kroya discovered that the starlight contained a passage from the Blue Chapter, and Miya confirmed that the transformed apprentices were still alive.
• Miya became the Ring of Radiance and helped Kroya analyze the starlight, revealing that the Blue Chapter stimulated life’s stardust power and that the transformed beings were undergoing evolution.

Kroya discovered a moonlike fungus whose light could nurture magic plants and transform moonlight, then left the work in Fungus City to the Tower Spirit so he and Miya could take a break. At the lakeside, he showed Miya his magical tools and turned the lake and sky into a starry spectacle as the tiny moon followed them.

• Kroya and Miya identified a Star-Fearing Fungus that refracted sunlight into a new kind of moonlight and discussed its threat to the Moon God's authority.
• Kroya proposed making the moon the god of Fungus City, while Miya suggested involving the Golden Fleece and Achilles; Kroya then left the work to the Tower Spirit and went through a portal with Miya.
• Kroya and Miya visited the lakeside, where Kroya demonstrated gloves that solidified air and used Golem Transformation Pills to build a small Wind Boat.
• Kroya showed Miya his elemental golem set, which he hoped to use alongside Orbments to introduce magic to ordinary people.
• Kroya filled the lake with starlight elementals and jellyfish that turned day into night, and the tiny moon flew out of his pocket to chase them as he and Miya sailed across the lake.

Kroya used the Sacred Spring Trade Guild to buy two compressed planes, reach Level Five membership, and explore its treasury. He chose a hidden Rainbow Grass containing an unknown secret, then realized it bore Athena’s mark and might hold something left by Apollo.

• After learning that all his companions had declined his invitation, Kroya decided to spend his magic crystals on planes and asked Miya for advice.
• Kroya rejected a loan, bought two tiny planes to be compressed into planar spheres, and asked the Sacred Spring Trade Guild how to qualify as a Plane Engineer.
• Lord Solon Sacred Spring offered Kroya a trial in an extremely small plane, and Kroya accepted the chance to earn a junior Plane Engineer certificate.
• Kroya’s spending raised him to Level Five membership, unlocking a Clockwork Golem evolution, an intermediate divine-power support strike, and one free treasury item.
• While browsing the treasury, Kroya chose a Rainbow Grass that only he recognized, and its leaf bore an Olive Laurel mark that made him suspect it contained something Apollo had left behind.

Kroya used the Air Coral to stabilize two tiny planes, then opened the Rainbow Grass and faced its divine lightning. The grassland collapsed, leaving Zeus's Sacred Oak behind, which immediately fought with the Air Coral.

• Kroya discovered that the Air Coral was nearing godhood and warned its Sprite that accepting a divine office might bind it to the world, but the Sprite showed him a silver bubble it had received from Lord Mirage.
• The Air Coral wrapped the two plane spheres in bubbles and anchored them to its branches, while Kroya shared its crushing strain through Nature Insight.
• The Air Coral Sprite boasted that it could manage the planes, the undersea base, and the constellation, and Kroya left it to handle future challenges.
• Kroya entered the Rainbow Grass's space, where divine lightning attacked him until a voice explained that its creator had stolen sacred wood and entrusted it to him.
• The Rainbow Grass's space collapsed, revealing Zeus's Sacred Oak, which immediately clashed with the Air Coral in a storm of lightning and bursting bubbles.

Kroya subdued Zeus’s Sacred Oak and awakened its power to carry plants through the sky, allowing his Mage Tower and surrounding plants to rise into the air. The Tower Spirit then announced that the undersea factories would be relocated, and Kroya’s teams began moving them, including shrinking an undersea volcano for transport.

• Kroya restrained Zeus’s Sacred Oak, branded it with an eternal inscription, and learned it could root in the sky and let magic plants fly beneath its lightning.
• Zeus’s Sacred Oak passed its power to the Orpheus Oak, whose runes lit up as the Mage Tower and nearby plants lifted into the air.
• The Tower Spirit reassured the people of Reef Island that the ascent was an experiment, then announced the relocation of the undersea factories.
• Burrowing Mice and Engineering Golems arrived at the factories to direct workers in moving machinery, magic plants, and mineral veins.
• A Burrowing Mouse led a factory manager to the Undersea Volcano, shrank it with a cylindrical device, and told him to dig it out while protecting the magma vein.

Kroya oversaw the development of a new world, spoke with Daphne about her bond with the Orpheus Family, and helped Oak transform through the Thunder Oak’s essence. Oak left for the New Continent to develop it, carrying the earth’s favor as a seed while Kroya planned to sever the world’s remaining ties to the earth and light.

• The Tower Spirit began filling the new world’s ocean, requested the Merfolk Tribe’s help, and recruited people to develop the barren land.
• Kroya gave Daphne a Thunder Oak branch and learned that she controlled the Orpheus Family’s secret domains and the Oak Kingdom while waiting for Apollo.
• Daphne ordered Beo Riel to come with the Elven Divine Vessel blueprints after Kroya declined to ask for a reward.
• Kroya found Oak studying Beastfolk witchcraft and gave him Thunder Oak essence to transform him.
• Oak lost his Legendary Rank as the earth’s favor left him, but gained the Thunder and Sky blessing and a Tree King Magic Field.
• Oak took students, workers, Aether Mages, magic crystals, and compressed magic veins to the New Continent, while Kroya told the earth to grant more blessings if it wanted to leave.

Kroya relocated the Telai River and the life dependent on it from the Northern Frontier into his world, using the Rainbow Poem to preserve the region’s balance. After the starlight-blessed apprentices returned vastly stronger, he brought them to the New Continent to adapt and begin developing it, where he noticed the magic was withering.

• Kroya persuaded the Telai River to leave the Northern Frontier with its dependent creatures and plants, and inscribed Nature Insight into its River Spirit.
• Kroya played the Telai River Hymn, lifting the river, the Wheat Valley Fief, and the elves into the air before the Air Coral carried them into his world.
• The Northern Frontier’s earth blessing filled the river’s former course with new water, and Kroya used stored symphony magic to help restore the region’s vitality.
• The apprentices returned from death and reconstruction as eighth-level Starlight Warriors, while the Mother Nest’s insects also came back.
• Kroya brought the apprentices and insects into the New Continent and told the apprentices to adapt by helping develop the land.
• The apprentices eagerly began smashing rocks and moving mountains, and Kroya noticed that the magic around them was withering.

Kroya began transforming the magic-starved world by making the Telai River its magical lifeline and Oak its World Tree. After a vast rain-and-mist ritual nourished the land, the world was revealed, leaving Kroya eager to see what the transformation had achieved.

• The Tower Spirit explained that the world was desperately hungry for magic and that its conscious spirit was unusually developed.
• Kroya planned to nurture the world, directing the Burrowing Mice to carve a vast underground magic array and persuading the Telai River and Oak to help.
• Kroya inscribed Oak with a spell that let it turn the Telai River’s water into clouds and mist, then linked the river through underground channels and surface waterways.
• Kroya and Oak released magic-rich rain and mist across the Northern Frontier, spending half of Kroya’s accumulated magic to nourish the world.
• On the seventh day, the clouds, mist, and flowing waters withdrew, revealing the nourished world as Kroya looked on.

Kroya discovered mana-infused Thorns of Life and watched the little moon merge with them, creating a moon that chose to remain in the plane. He installed the moon and his sun grasses in the sky to establish day and night, then left to take the Sacred Spring Trade Guild’s Plane Engineer certification as the plane’s consciousness secretly tended the stone slab he had inscribed.

• Kroya recognized the Thorns of Life as exceptionally potent magic plants whose imprint could help other plants and beasts adapt, and the little moon scattered spores among them.
• The spores grew into tiny moons that joined into a bright sphere, and the moon told Kroya it wanted to stay in the plane.
• Kroya brought in his sun grasses and asked Oak to support the sun and moon so they could alternate every twelve hours.
• Kroya built rune arrays to amplify and regulate the sun grasses and moon, establishing a day-night cycle that prompted native plants and animals to follow their preferred light.
• Kroya inscribed a stone slab with words about the creation of light, then left to take the Plane Engineer certification examination.
• The plane’s consciousness gathered the Thorns of Life, the Telai River, and Oak around the slab, tending it as a secret offering to the beings that had brought the plane sun, moon, and mana.

Kroya watched Eurydice persuade the Mage Tower’s tower spirit to fire the Godslayer Particle Cannon at the Divine Kingdoms of Light and Earth. As Kroya secretly explored the Father of Light’s Divine Kingdom, he discovered sacred crops and divine-blood grapes and asked Miya for help obtaining them.

• Kroya searched the poisonous, flame-filled plane for the Sacred Spring Trade Guild’s hidden interest, found nothing, and left surveying instruments behind.
• Eurydice asked the Mage Tower’s tower spirit to activate the Godslayer Particle Cannon, offering an offshoot of the Azure Great Tree in return.
• The cannon fired at the Divine Kingdoms of the Earth Mother Goddess and the Father of Light, and Kroya slipped eternal magic power through the dissolving crystal walls.
• Kroya explored the Father of Light’s Divine Kingdom and found legendary wheat, sacred cedars, and a vineyard whose grapes contained divine blood.
• Kroya showed Miya what he had discovered and pleaded for help obtaining the grapes, leaving Miya baffled by his undetected entry.
