Chapter Summaries

Kroya received an Astral Spirit Fragment from the World Consciousness, then severed Reef Island from the Semrio Continent and brought it to Module 626 in the Astral Plane. Meanwhile, a priest told King Atre to give Kroya a shop and help him, revealing that Atre’s family curse was tied to their ancestor’s Divine Authority.

• The World Consciousness gave Kroya an Astral Spirit Fragment, and Kroya learned that Gaia World held the knowledge his Astral Body Inscription Technique needed to evolve.
• Kroya told Reef Island’s residents he would move the island to the Astral Plane, then used World Puzzle to separate it from the Semrio Continent.
• Kroya carried Reef Island to Module 626, where the Tower Spirit began investigating the module’s unusual planar structure.
• King Atre offered the priest plans to develop a plane, but the priest assigned its development to the Astral Council and asked Atre to give him his shop on the Street of All Things.
• The priest revealed that Divine Authority linked to Atre’s ancestor caused the family’s repeated defeats, and told Atre to deliver the shop document to Kroya and help him without revealing the priest’s intentions.

King Atre visited Kroya to welcome him into the Astral Plane’s upper circles, gave him a valuable shop, and received a flame-tailed puppy in return. At the banquet, Atre discovered Kroya’s divine-authority Crystal Pillar and commissioned one tied to victory, then revealed his ancestor was Ares and ordered Cassandra, Athena’s priestess, captured.

• King Atre visited Kroya at the Prelate’s invitation and gave him the deed to a prime shop on the Street of All Things.
• Kroya gave Atre a flame-tailed puppy and a Spatial Magic Tool full of pet supplies, and Atre invited him to a banquet at the Golden Laurel Palace.
• Kroya refused the palace’s winged attendants and recognized his Crystal Pillar in the hot spring, where guests were using its painful divine authority to train their mental power.
• Atre realized Kroya had created the Crystal Pillar with Archmage Eurydice and asked him to make a large-area pillar imbued with the authority of victory.
• Atre told Kroya that his ancestor Ares had repeatedly lost to Athena, then ordered Cassandra captured because she was Athena’s priestess.

Kroya learned that King Atre wanted him to help with a curse linked to Cassandra, but Cassandra’s powerful positions made approaching her difficult. Volt then introduced a Legendary potion called Brilliant Radiance, whose production required Kroya to revive a dead Stellar Plane and feed its energy to a Star Beast Jellyfish.

• Kroya questioned King Atre about his visit, and Atre asked him to help end the curse that prevented him from winning wars.
• Kroya suggested confronting Cassandra, but Atre explained that she was executive vice president of the Astral Environmental Association and a member of the Star Ring Potion Research Group.
• King Atre introduced Kroya to Volt and other influential young people, and Volt offered him a chance to prove his ability by taking on potion work.
• Volt and the others described aether rift disease, which Kroya recognized as resembling the Convicts’ condition, and revealed that the Legendary potion Brilliant Radiance could suppress it.
• Volt gave Kroya a contract to revive a Stellar Plane and feed its energy to a Star Beast Jellyfish so its tears could be harvested as a potion ingredient.

Kroya accepted Volt's challenge to expand into the Astral Plane and used his enchanted puppies and miraculous candies to build connections with influential figures. Atre brought him to the Abela orphanage, where Cassandra Pallas asked to speak with him and Lady Miya.

• Kroya agreed to expand into the Astral Plane, and King Atre showed the guests an ordinary puppy engraved with Kroya's True Heart Runes.
• A blond boy asked to buy the puppies for his sister, but Kroya declined to sell them yet and took the boy's contact information.
• Kroya shared miraculous candies with the guests, who gave him their contact information, including Volt's connection to a legendary farm owner.
• Atre took Kroya by carriage to the Abela orphanage, a protected world said to shelter Children of Destiny.
• A dragon-winged girl attacked them playfully, and Kroya pulled a spider girl from her spatial threads and gave her a magical toy.
• Cassandra Pallas introduced herself and asked to speak with Kroya and Lady Miya.

Kroya learned that Cassandra’s world housed surviving Children of Destiny and accepted a mythic spell that could help repair the Void Luminary Ark. Cassandra offered him an orphanage gardening position with a Child of Destiny named Luca, leaving Kroya to consider the deal.

• Miya appeared through the Ring of Radiance, and Cassandra explained that Athena’s contract was meant to free the gods from an Astral Spirit’s control by turning their souls into constellations.
• Cassandra used the Golden Fleece to reveal the Ship of Theseus spell, which could replace parts of objects without changing their identity and might allow the Void Luminary Ark to be repaired.
• Cassandra explained that the Aries Ballad had been stolen and that the Narrative Portal had allowed the gods to substitute another mythic ship; she also said she could resolve King Atre’s family curse.
• Cassandra showed Kroya that the orphanage cared for Children of Destiny who carried the concentrated essence of destroyed planes, including a world-seed tree linked to Akaboli Naya.
• Cassandra offered Kroya an Astral Farm territory and Luca Myuthesas in exchange for one of each of his law fruits, and Kroya weighed whether to accept.

Kroya and Miya repaired the Void Luminary Ark with Ship of Theseus, creating a small wooden boat that could travel through the Star Sea. At the Star Sea Ranch, Kroya revived its extinguished sun, though an ominous black spot remained at its core.

• Miya helped Kroya cast Ship of Theseus, and his limited mana produced a toy-like Ark with the functions needed to travel through the Astral Plane.
• Miya transformed into a lantern aboard the Ark, stored the Sky Castle inside it, and guided Kroya through the Star Sea while he slept.
• Kroya and Miya entered the Star Sea Ranch, where Kroya discovered an extinguished sun surrounded by crystal obelisks and pipes.
• Kroya asked Miya to secure the ranch and used the magic field grape vine's resurrection power to revive the sun.
• The sun's light restored the ranch, but a deathly black spot remained at its core and frightened Kroya.

Kroya repaired the abandoned Star Sea Farm and used a world's consciousness to create a vine that could regulate its natural cycles. He received Star Beast Jellyfish seeds from Volt’s grandmother, while wondering whether others in the Astral Plane had begun watching him.

• The grapevine revived Icarus only partially, leaving the sun alive but unconscious, and then returned to rest.
• The Ring of Radiance surveyed the farm and found that its ecosystems, passages, and many essential components were missing.
• Kroya summoned a world's consciousness, which brought him the stone tablet bearing the laws of light and darkness; he then shaped a World Vine for it to inhabit and manage the farm.
• Miya rebuilt more than a hundred ecological farms around the sun while the World Vine produced nourishing rain and helped the world's consciousness regulate nature.
• Kroya contacted Volt’s grandmother, a Legendary Mage and elf, who sent him Star Beast Jellyfish seeds and offered to let him pay after they matured.
• Kroya wondered whether King Atre’s introduction or someone else’s interest meant that people had begun watching him in the Astral Plane.

Kroya planted Sun Octopus tentacles near the sun and sent the Earth-Circling Elf Orchestra to populate the Star Sea Empire’s former experimental farms and produce Law Fruits. When he returned to Star-Cosmos Entertainment, he found the Void God Kia performing with the Atlantis Band—and Kia invited him to sing.

• Kroya learned that the Star Beast Jellyfish were creations of the Astral Spirits and asked Miya to help plant the magical plants that would support their growth.
• Miya burned a Sun Octopus tentacle by planting it directly on the sun, so Kroya fixed the remaining tentacles in space nearby instead.
• Kroya discovered that the snowy farm had once been an imperial facility for cultivating elves and Law Fruits.
• Kroya summoned the Earth-Circling Elf Orchestra and sent its members to the farms to sow seeds and produce Law Fruits with the World Consciousness’s support.
• Kroya rushed to Star-Cosmos Entertainment and found the Atlantis Band performing with Kia, the Void God, who handed him a microphone and invited him to sing.

Kroya joined Kia and the merfolk in a seven-day performance that helped summon their buried planes, then accepted a contract to explore the Silver Shell Pearl Sea. After assigning his apprentices and Reef Island elders to explore its safer layers, Kroya entered the sea himself and discovered unusual level-twelve Thirsty Sea Glow Algae.

• Kroya sang alongside Kia and the Atlantis Band, and the merfolk’s ancestral planes began appearing among the stars.
• Kia gave Kroya the Silver Shell Pearl Sea exploration contract, which Kroya submitted to the Astral Council for approval.
• Kroya briefed his apprentices on exploring the sea’s first five layers, planting Space Anchors, and using Gopherwood Harp pendants for protection.
• Rob and Reef Island’s elders asked to join the expedition, and Kroya let Rob organize them and collect extra pendants.
• Kroya entered the Silver Shell Pearl Sea, established a safe point, and discovered level-twelve Thirsty Sea Glow Algae in the sixth layer.

Kroya joined a pioneering team as the priest Arcadi and used his powerful divine arts to help them defeat bloodvein crystal clams and discover a waterlight crystal vein. When the team found an octopus-like statue in the nest, Kroya teleported it to Reef Island and claimed he had sacrificed it to his god.

• Kroya released his thirsty sea glow algae into their native waters and told them to return when he came back with others.
• Kroya joined Captain Leicardo's pioneering team under the name Arcadi and impressed the team with unlimited healing divine arts.
• The team fought off bloodvein crystal clams, and Leicardo offered Kroya half the points for the catch because of his contribution.
• Kroya guided the team to the clams' nest, where they discovered a waterlight crystal vein and fought through more clams.
• The team found a shell-fragment statue with a human upper body and an octopus lower body, and Kroya teleported it to Reef Island while claiming he had sacrificed it to his god.

Kroya’s team reached the Silver Shell Pearl Sea’s second layer, where an Outer God’s influence invaded their minds and tentacles attacked them. After helping the team fight back, Kroya discovered the tentacles belonged to a contaminated Silver Clam Octopus whose flesh the evil god found delicious.

• Kroya’s team claimed a Bloodvein Crystal Clams’ nest and a waterlight crystal vein, then shared the resulting income with Kroya.
• The team entered the second sea layer and used a rented Core Circuit Gills circuit to breathe in its immense magical pressure.
• Miya identified the statue as a tendril of an Astral God, but the Void God dismissed the threat and encouraged Kroya to handle it.
• Kroya sensed the team’s minds being invaded, struck his companions to wake them, and persuaded them to warn other teams and search for the evil god’s limbs.
• Kroya blessed the team, who fought off enormous tentacles carrying black divine power, while Kroya examined a severed tentacle.
• Kroya’s Radiant Scripture identified the creature as a contaminated Silver Clam Octopus, and he began roasting its tentacle with golden-orange flame.

Kroya turned the Evil God's octopus into a feast, then used the threat to prompt the apprentices to report dangers and hunt the creature for rewards. The tentacles became a popular new dish, which King Atre devoured alongside Cassandra at a magical food shop.

• Kroya roasted and ate an octopus tentacle, then used Great Prophecy to prevent the remaining tentacles from escaping and helped his party defeat them.
• Kroya met Jamie and urged him to report the Evil God's octopus threat, so Jamie ran off to notify the authorities.
• The apprentices received a warning and hunting assignment, installed the Golden Fire Circuit, and began turning in octopus tentacles for rewards.
• The Tower Spirit processed the tentacles and supplied them to a new shop on the Street of All Things, where Evil God's Tentacle sold for a hundred thousand magic crystals per meter.
• King Atre bought ten servings after smelling Cassandra's food and ate them ravenously while Cassandra watched in dismay.

Kroya discovered that his Star Beast Jellyfish had grown to enormous sizes and were producing rare Venus gems, then met with King Atre and King Tiraya to ask about them. The gem prompted Tiraya to offer Kroya marriage and an imperial dukedom, leaving him speechless.

• King Atre ate fifty million's worth of octopus tentacles, while Kroya's team continued its hunt and Rob suggested making shell wind chimes as a gift for their lord.
• Kroya enchanted silver shells with musical runes, then left the expedition to attend to business and check his Star Sea Farm.
• Kroya found that the Star Beast Jellyfish had grown to mountain size in a week and were shedding golden tears that a Legendary Rank spell identified as Venus gems.
• Unable to communicate with the jellyfish, Kroya asked the Tower Spirit to monitor them and went to meet King Atre and King Tiraya.
• King Tiraya proposed marriage to Kroya, then offered to secure him a duke's title after seeing the Venus gem; Atre also eagerly hoped Kroya would accept.

Kroya joined Queen Tiria and King Atre in hunting the giant octopus, whose ink had trapped Leicardo’s group in the fourth sea layer. After a week-long battle, the octopus was subdued, and Kroya discovered that the thirsty sea glow algae were an immortal Astral Spirit creation capable of purifying the seas and opening a gate to Atlantis.

• Kroya and Queen Tiria agreed to be friends, and she discussed buying venus gems to build a palace for the emperor’s birthday banquet.
• Kroya invited Queen Tiria and King Atre to hunt the giant octopus in disguise, and they freed Leicardo’s group from its purified ink.
• Queen Tiria and King Atre fought the octopus in the Seaweed Abyss while Kroya strengthened them and the apprentices with blessings.
• After a week of fighting, the group severed the octopus’s tentacles and found its body struggling against the thirsty sea glow algae near the portal to the Sixth Layer.
• Kroya identified the algae as a progenitor magic plant created by an Astral Spirit, with the power to purify the seas and open a gate to Atlantis.

Kroya calmed the suffering Silver Clam Octopus, discovered its power came from the Evil God Greedy Feast, and unlocked the green chapter, “Thirsty Under the Sun.” The Thirsty Sea Glow Algae progenitors then created a Tidal Stone and an azure star bracelet for him, while the octopus and algae remained to be dealt with.

• Kroya soothed the proliferating Silver Clam Octopus by bearing its pain, then sent the apprentices back to the development base.
• Tiraya and Atre told Kroya they had enjoyed fighting the octopus, and Kroya declared that Atre had won; Atre kept the reason secret and said victory mattered more to him than his life.
• Kroya compressed the octopus, and Tiraya and Atre helped identify its deity as Greedy Feast of the Desolate Star Sea while eating its severed arms.
• Kroya recognized that Greedy Feast had revealed the green chapter “Thirsty Under the Sun,” whose power erased abundant vitality, and recorded it.
• Kroya sent Tiraya and Atre to rest at the base, then asked the Thirsty Sea Glow Algae progenitors about the octopus’s power.
• The progenitors surrounded Kroya with tidal music, formed a Tidal Stone on his cornerstone, and helped produce a mysterious bracelet bearing an azure star.

Kroya learned that the Voidmoon Leaf Magic Artifact could help him purify oceans and grant access to Atlantis, then began raising the giant octopus into godhood to free it from an evil god’s control. As Greedy Feast attacked, Kroya defeated its divine power while Tredan helped the octopus ascend.

• Kroya discovered the bracelet’s new purification effects and learned from Mihail and his consort about the Voidmoon Divine Tree and the Sea Spirit Dolphins.
• Kroya persuaded the giant octopus and the Thirsty Sea Glow Algae Progenitor to cooperate, then began elevating the octopus to godhood with Tredan’s help.
• Greedy Feast sent a black tide of power toward the plane while the octopus was ascending, and Kroya went outside the plane to confront it.
• Tiraya and Atre arrived to support Kroya, but his six colored rings overwhelmed Greedy Feast’s power and damaged its Divine Kingdom.
• Greedy Feast withdrew, and Kroya gave Tiraya and Atre bracelets made from the starlight it left behind.

Kroya received the Water-Cleansing Singer, a chapter of the Poem of the First Source, and used the Thirsty Sea Glow Algae to make the plane reject the legendary beasts below. A mysterious call from the depths shattered the song, and the plane began rejecting Kroya instead.

• The Silver Clam Octopus Deity ascended in the Astral Plane and scattered living octopus seeds across the planes, giving Kroya an octopus-shaped blessing and ocean protection.
• Ilyst gave Kroya a stone tablet containing the Water-Cleansing Singer, which could make a plane reject forces harmful to it.
• Kroya returned to the fifth-layer Abyss, gave Tredan a year to learn the Water-Cleansing Singer, and inscribed the spell onto the Thirsty Sea Glow Algae.
• The Thirsty Sea Glow Algae performed the song, causing the plane's ocean currents and power to reject the legendary beasts in its lower layers.
• A mysterious call from the Silver Shell Pearl Sea shattered the song, turned the plane's power against Kroya, and sent seawater surging toward him.

Kroya and Tredan discovered a Snow Dolphin and a dying Silver Sea Pearl Oyster in the ocean’s deathly snowfield, and Kroya fought the greater-divine-power beast using the Void God’s reality-shaping power. The pearl mermaid revealed that the Sept-Terrion of Time had cursed her, and Kroya offered to try to remove it.

• Kroya questioned Tredan about a whale-like creature, and Tredan explained that their ancestors had sought things from the Mercury Sea through a special shellfish.
• Kroya opened a portal with Tredan and found a Snow Dolphin and a Silver Sea Pearl Oyster in a snowfield formed from dead microorganisms.
• The Snow Dolphin attacked Kroya, who sent Tredan away and used Kia’s power to create weapons and trap the beast.
• The Silver Sea Pearl Oyster opened to reveal a pearl mermaid, who asked Kroya and Kia to stop fighting and explained that the Sept-Terrion of Time had cursed her.
• Kroya said he could try to remove the curse, and Miya encouraged him to proceed with Kia’s support.

Kroya helped Miya and Kia enter the Sacred Spring Trade Guild’s Land of Springs, where he retrieved Miya’s Philosopher’s Stone and the Songstress Core Circuit. After the mission, the Silver Sea Pearl Oyster died, its priestess began a new life, and the Snow Dolphin asked Kroya to take it to the ocean where its kin lived.

• Kroya learned that the oyster’s blessing contained the Sept-Terrion of Time’s Miracle Magic, and Miya and Kia agreed to help him reclaim her Philosopher’s Stone and the Songstress circuit.
• Miya explained the Philosopher’s Stone’s powers, and Kia gave Kroya a Dolphin Pendant granting him access to the dolphins’ ocean.
• Kroya entered the Land of Springs with Miya and Kia, spotted a harp and torch bearing strange inscriptions, and retrieved a red Philosopher’s Stone and a silver Illusion Luminary Core Circuit, Songstress.
• The Sept-Terrion of Time revealed that it had allowed the theft and arranged for Kroya to receive the harp later through a prize draw.
• Kroya and the others freed the Silver Sea Pearl Oyster from its unfinished stop, after which the oyster dissolved and its priestess went to rebuild her body.
• The Snow Dolphin asked Kroya to take it to the ocean where its kin lived, but Kroya decided to deal with the Philosopher’s Stone first.

Miya taught Kroya how primordial gold could give lifeless objects souls, while warning him never to create humanoid life. When Kroya learned that abandoned creations could become vengeful spirits, Miya revealed a rift filled with them and sent the newly born food creatures to deal with the danger.

• Kroya used the Philosopher's Stone to make primordial gold, and Miya demonstrated how it could animate tiramisu and let it reproduce before its gold ran out.
• Miya warned Kroya that creating humanoid beings with primordial gold would bring consequences from fate.
• Kroya struggled to animate jelly until Miya explained that the creator had to accept responsibility for the life they brought into being.
• Miya revealed that despised creations that had collapsed into vengeful spirits had accumulated at the source of the Philosopher's Stone's power.
• Miya told the bouncing tiramisus and jelly to enter the rift and confront the vengeful spirits.
