• The imposing figure escaped An Kai’s Fireballs with Light-Taker and Giant Vertical Eye through a passage to the Warrior World, but the blasts sent them stumbling into it.
• The imposing figure sank into the sea, while Light-Taker and Giant Vertical Eye agreed to join forces and began hunting creatures to grow stronger.
• An Kai gathered Goodness Home’s inhabitants into his Domain, broke the barrier to the Warrior World, and sensed that its seawater was subordinate to the mist.
• An Kai repeatedly reopened the barrier and absorbed the mist into his Domain, leaving Hanks and Widow Wang lost inside its thickening fog.
• An Kai tore the barrier wide enough to pass through and entered the Warrior World.

An Kai began devouring the seawater of Warrior World by merging it with the mist in his Domain, while the imposing figure and the Gods of Light and Darkness faced the consequences of the God of Magic’s schemes. Five days later, An Kai reunited with Nurnexius, who revealed that he had waited for him for over a hundred years.

• After Order World vanished, the imposing figure realized the mist and his source of healing had disappeared, and he vowed to torment An Kai.
• An Kai released mist from his Domain and used Meditation to draw Warrior World’s seawater into it, creating a vast vortex and killing sea beasts for meager rewards.

An Kai learned that Nurnexius had spent over a century passing through [Divine Court Academy]'s worlds, where distorted timelines and brainwashing had trapped and transformed other beings. Nurnexius's story convinced An Kai that the academy might hold the time spell element, and An Kai began seeking a way to master true time; meanwhile, the Giant Vertical Eye heard a distant rumbling and went to investigate.

• Nurnexius told An Kai how he and his followers endured the Bamboo Men in [Betrayal World], then spent decades in [Order World]'s White and Seven-Colored Worlds as his followers dwindled and died.
• Nurnexius explained that he had eventually reached [Warrior World], where a change turned other beings into mindless attackers, while he remained unaffected because of his bond with An Kai.
• An Kai concluded that [Divine Court Academy] might distort time and contain the time spell element, and he wondered whether his spells could let him control true time and kill the [God of Magic].
• An Kai praised Nurnexius and began considering how to find the time spell element near the seawater vortex.
• The Giant Vertical Eye, confused by traps that made decades feel like seconds, heard a rumbling and concealed himself before heading toward it.

As he drained the sea into his Domain, its mist transformed into a Mist Crystal, opening a new path for his spells to advance.

• An Kai detected the time spell element in the Giant Vertical Eye's true spirit and saw memories of his past life on Blue Star.
• An Kai wondered whether the time spell element could turn back time and let him kill his enemies before they became powerful.

• An Kai assigned the Giant Vertical Eye's true spirit to explain what it knew about the Mighty Figure and the Divine Court Academy, with Nurnexius asking questions and Lei taking notes.
• An Kai continued absorbing the sea into his Domain as the mist grew denser and then condensed into droplets, while he killed sea beasts and added attribute points.
• The mist in An Kai's Domain churned into coiling dragons and merged into a Mist Crystal, prompting An Kai to realize his spells could advance further.

An Kai used a Mist Crystal and 16 million low-grade divine skill points to raise Meditation to Lv211, gaining the power to expel other energies and beings from his space and advancing his domain to its sixth layer. As he spread mana through the seawater to draw it toward himself, Light-Taker sensed an unfamiliar, overbearing energy in the water.

• An Kai spent the Mist Crystal and 16 million low-grade divine skill points to upgrade Meditation to Lv211, and the change expelled the seawater and nearby beings from his space.

• An Kai channeled mana into the seawater to spread it outward, planning to use Meditation: Unique to draw the water back toward himself.
• Light-Taker, hiding in the sea, sensed an unfamiliar and overbearing energy mixed into the seawater.

An Kai used the seawater and mist in the Warrior World to create Mist Crystals and strengthen his spells while forcing the Mighty Figure out of hiding. After learning a new Summoning effect that called forth divinities as servants, An Kai prepared to confront the Mighty Figure.

• An Kai used [Meditation: Unique] to sweep Light-Taker toward him, but the Mighty Figure rescued Light-Taker and hid him again; An Kai had already planted mana elements inside Light-Taker to track him and could detonate them.
• An Kai used the seawater and mist to create a second [Mist Crystal], upgrading [Fireball] and gaining [Sea of Fire], which could devour energy and grow until he dispersed it.

• After the fourth [Mist Crystal] left the sea at ankle height, An Kai upgraded [Summoning] and learned to summon divinities as servants, then summoned one himself.

An Kai used [Summoning] to bring 300 powerful divinities into [Divine Court Academy: Warrior World], then confronted Light-Taker and the Mighty Figure. He trapped Light-Taker in the [Summoning Gate] and tried to use a non-aggression [Contract] on the Mighty Figure by pretending to be his disciple Hanks.

• An Kai summoned 100 each of [seventh-rank], [eighth-rank], and [ninth-rank] divinities, then stored them in his [Domain].

• The Mighty Figure emerged and threatened to destroy himself and the [Divine Court Academy] if An Kai killed him.
• An Kai showed the Mighty Figure the [Hanks and Teacher's Non-Aggression Contract] and pretended to be his beloved disciple Hanks to get him to sign it.

An Kai tricked the Mighty Figure into believing he was one of Teacher’s beloved disciples, then used a contract to bind him and extract information about the Fourth Layer. After two days, An Kai destroyed the Mighty Figure, whose final curse reached the [God of Magic].

• An Kai used stories drawn from Dong Lin, Dong Mu, and Dong Sen’s memories to convince the Mighty Figure that he was Hanks, one of Teacher’s four beloved disciples.
• The Mighty Figure accepted An Kai’s non-aggression contract after sensing that the [God of Contracts] and a [Supreme God] witnessed it.

• Bound by the contract, the Mighty Figure told An Kai everything about the Fourth Layer and his own affairs over two days.
• After adding Attribute Points twice, An Kai struck the Mighty Figure with his full strength and shattered him.
• The dying Mighty Figure cursed the unseen [Supreme God], and the [God of Magic] heard the words and wondered why he had been implicated.

The [God of Magic] realized that someone had altered a contract and made him take the blame, while An Kai destroyed [Divine Court Academy: Warrior World] and entered the fourth layer. There, he found creatures from Goodness Home flayed and displayed at the city gate as a warning.

• The [God of Magic] sensed that a contract had been drastically changed and suspected his plan for the [Divine Court Academy] might fail.
• An Kai learned that the fourth layer held the [Divine Court Academy's] core and likely the [time spell elements], then drained the seawater from [Divine Court Academy: Warrior World].
• An Kai exposed the Land of Return to Silence, concealed its barrier with [Fireballs], and destroyed the world before entering the fourth-layer passage.
• The Abyssal Rule exploited a loophole caused by the destruction of [Order World] and [Warrior World], sending Abyss creatures through a split passage to hunt An Kai.
• An Kai arrived in [Divine Court Academy Fourth Layer] and found creatures from Goodness Home flayed and hung at the city gate beneath the warning, "The punishment for God Profaners!"

An Kai learned about the [God of Darkness]'s extreme caution and the strange time flows of the [Divine Court Academy: Endurance World]. After spending the night with Chris in a recreated Castle, he confirmed that his Attribute Points had refreshed, showing that he was in the normal flow of time.

• Light-Taker described the [God of Darkness], and An Kai slapped him for dwelling on the deity's crimes instead of giving useful information.
• Light-Taker explained that the [God of Darkness] hid his true body and used doppelgangers, while the [God of Light] worried that the [God of Magic] had concealed his strength.
• An Kai learned that the Endurance World's disordered time flows made the [God of Darkness]'s doppelganger difficult to find, and that its Core Land held the key to controlling the [Divine Court Academy].
• An Kai sent the others into his [Domain] and recreated the Castle where he and Chris had lived in the Goodness Home.
• The next day, An Kai saw that his [Attribute Points] had refreshed and confirmed he was in the normal flow of time.

An Kai tested whether he could remain in normal time flow while Wayne helped him reason out how to find [God of Darkness] and the core of [Divine Court Academy: Endurance World]. After a month of investigation, An Kai discovered that his sixth-layer [Domain] protected him from disordered time by linking his surroundings to the real world.

• An Kai praised Wayne for realizing that staying in normal time flow could make finding [God of Darkness]'s doppelganger much easier, then insulted Light-Taker for failing to follow their reasoning.
• An Kai returned to his [Domain] to test whether he could remain in normal time, while Wayne kicked Light-Taker away when he tried to ask for help.
• The [God of Magic]'s doppelganger decided to gather Abyssal Beings and extract their resistance to disordered time so he could reach the core of [Divine Court Academy: Endurance World].
• After a month of normal daily updates and investigation, An Kai concluded that his sixth-layer [Domain]'s [Manifestation] effect connected his surroundings to the real world and shielded him from abnormal time flow.

After confirming his sixth-layer [Domain: Manifestation] let him resist the Endurance World's disordered time, An Kai began searching for the [God of Darkness] while rescuing or recruiting beings he encountered. He found a powerful horned orc who recognized him and cried, “Found you!”

• An Kai spent two and a half months in his [Domain], grew stronger, and left Chris, Wayne, and the others there before entering the [Divine Court Academy: Endurance World].
• An Kai discovered that [Domain: Manifestation] created a ten-thousand-meter zone of true time, awakening beings trapped in false time as he explored.
• An Kai rescued Goodness Home members and recruited or killed other creatures, but found no sign of the [God of Darkness] or his followers during his first day of searching.
• Chris reminded An Kai to keep Sally Bukelin in mind before he resumed his search the next day.
• An Kai used [Domain: Manifestation] to reveal a powerful antelope-horned orc, who woke, recognized him, and exclaimed, “Found you!”

An Kai used the Giant Vertical Eye’s true spirit to lure and capture dozens of Abyssal Beings, while the [God of Magic]’s doppelganger secretly killed another group and stole their resistance to disordered time. An Kai discovered the dead Abyssal Beings’ statues and realized their killer was powerful enough to surpass even a Mighty Figure.

• The antelope Orc attacked An Kai, but An Kai shattered his fist, killed him, and summoned his true spirit to learn why the Abyssal Beings were hunting him.
• The antelope Orc explained that killing the Giant Vertical Eye had made An Kai a target of the Abyssal Rule, and that Abyssal Beings could sense the aura lingering on the Giant Vertical Eye’s true spirit.
• An Kai used the Giant Vertical Eye’s true spirit as bait and captured fifty-six Abyssal Beings from the Seventeenth and eighteenth Abyss layers.
• The [God of Magic]’s doppelganger noticed the Abyssal Beings disappearing, killed the ones near him, and extracted their resistance to disordered time into a pearl.
• An Kai arrived at the site while fishing and found dozens of dead Abyssal Beings preserved as gray statues, concluding that even a Mighty Figure could not have killed them all.

An Kai summoned Goodness Home’s cleverest investigators to examine statues that he suspected were Abyssal Beings altered by the [God of Magic]. As An Kai’s mana-infused roast meat helped his companions overcome misleading clues and make rapid progress, Wayne prepared to tell him who had created the statues.

• An Kai summoned Wayne, Lei, several true spirits, Chris, the Hanks Couple, and Nurnexius to investigate the statues, while Chris comforted him.
• Light-Taker recognized the statues as Abyssal Beings, and An Kai agreed that the [God of Magic] had taken away their physical talents.
• An Kai grilled magical-beast meat infused with his mana; its aroma boosted the investigators’ strength and inspiration while he kept the meat for himself and tossed Nurnexius the bones.
• Wayne and the others saw through the misleading clues left by the [God of Magic]’s doppelganger and completed their investigation.
• Wayne bowed before An Kai and said that they had found answers about who created the statues.
