• The azure figure explained that the Truth God King’s hatred was aimed at the Great Lord Lynn was mistaken for, and Lynn considered using the misunderstanding to turn the God King against his controller.
• The azure figure told Lynn to integrate the spatial divine spark, seek the Time Divine Spark in the Broken Divine Realm, and take Aivier to an anchor point that could help stabilize her chaos.

• Lynn followed the map across the azure world to the original Mage Tower, where he found a red X on its gate and angrily realized the destination was nearby.
• Inside the Mage Tower, Lynn found a starry-sky painting with six empty inlay spots and one shining crystal, which activated a pathway of laws when he touched it.

Lynn searched Painter’s Mage Tower for the spatial divine spark and instead found a photo album preserving memories of Painter’s childhood. He left the Azure World without finding the spark, still demanding to know where it was.
