After Caesar appointed Mu You his representative and ordered the cult to find the Miracle Lamp, Evans confronted Mu You as an enemy because he planned to free Caesar.

• Caesar summoned his Undead Soldiers and ordered them to destroy the barrier, causing the Divine Realm entrance to expand as sunlight returned.

Mu You entered the Lighthouse to claim the Pen of Order, but the trial stripped away his magical items and powers, leaving him to face its challenges as an ordinary person. Armed with an Illusory Pen of Order that revealed and altered runes, he defeated a mechanical warhorse and continued with injuries and no way to recover.

• Caesar rushed toward the Lighthouse while Ice-Blue Green sensed that the Pocket Toad had arrived and persuaded the Stone Frog to release her so she could find her husband.
• Mu You opened the Lighthouse with the magic lamp and entered, followed by Caesar, Ice-Blue Green, and the Stone Frog.
• Inside the tower, Mu You discovered that his magical items and magic power had vanished, and that he had reverted to an ordinary body.
• A mechanical warhorse attacked Mu You, who used the Illusory Pen of Order to see its runes and erase flawed ones.
• Mu You destroyed enough of the warhorse’s runes to bring it down, then noticed his injuries and worried about facing the rest of the trial without recovery.

Mu You climbed the Lighthouse’s floors, believing the Minstrel’s voice and using the Pen of Order to kill monsters and graft their runes onto himself. After nearly losing himself to the resulting corruption, he realized the voice had likely been Caesar’s deception and that the Pen’s true purpose was to restore order, not destroy it.

• Mu You learned from a voice claiming to be the Minstrel that he had to climb the tower, that Caesar was competing in the trial, and that his companions were safe.
• Mu You fought Mechanical Spiders and Armored Infantrymen, discovered ways to extract their runes, and used those runes to regrow his injuries.
• As Mu You climbed higher, red Order Runes spread through his body and he became consumed by bloodlust, slaughtering monsters until he reached the 182nd floor.
• A blow to the back of Mu You’s head broke his frenzy, and he realized the Pen of Order may have awakened him before the final white rune in his heart turned red.
• Mu You deduced that Caesar had impersonated the Minstrel to mislead him and that destroying order caused corruption; he cut away the chaotic runes from his body.
• Mu You concluded that the trial was meant to teach him to repair disorder in monsters and restore things to their original state.

Mu You mastered the Laws of Order in the lighthouse’s time-warped space and began restoring the tower from the first floor upward. After finding Caesar trapped with the Magic Lamp, Mu You recruited Cola to delay him while he sealed Caesar outside.

• Mu You spent centuries repairing monsters across the lighthouse’s floors, reaching the 1,000th floor and mastering the Order Rules.
• Mu You returned to the first floor and began repairing the lighthouse itself, discovering Pocket Toad, Ice-Blue Green, Stone Frog, Cola, and Caesar along the way.
• Mu You realized Caesar intended to follow him to the top and steal the benefits of his work, so he decided to seal Caesar outside the restored tower.
• Mu You contacted Cola on the nineteenth floor and instructed the frightened cat to transform into a Manticore and scare Caesar back through a door.
• Mu You asked Cola to buy him ten seconds so he could create a partition wall and cut Caesar off from the upper floors.

Caesar failed to escape the order barrier and launched his undead army against Evans's soldiers before trying to bury the Lighthouse. Manticore and two other creatures attacked him, while Mu You sent Cola to find the Pen of Order and bring it to the tower's top.

• Caesar mistook Cola's illusion for Manticore, but Cola's fall exposed the trick and the order barrier sealed Caesar inside.
• Caesar escaped the barrier, ordered his million-strong Death Legion to attack Evans's hundred thousand soldiers, and Evans led his troops into battle.
• Caesar used the Magic Lamp to make the Lighthouse sink underground so no one could obtain the Pen of Order.
• Manticore, a Bone Dragon, and a skeletal phantom attacked Caesar, forcing him to fight all three.
• Mu You told Cola to work with the Pocket Toad to find the Pen of Order and take it to the Lighthouse's top floor.

Cola and the Pocket Toad fought the Zuma Stone Frog for the Divine Pen as the tower collapsed, and the Pocket Toad finally retrieved it. Mu You escaped with the pen and used his first wish to target Caesar’s million-strong Undead Army.

• Froglet reached the tower’s top floor, where it found the Divine Pen, but the Zuma Stone Frog attacked it with explosive marbles.
• Cola arrived and hid the real Divine Pen among illusions, but the Zuma Stone Frog overwhelmed Cola and eventually exposed the pen.
• Ice-Blue Green shielded the Pocket Toad from a barrage of marbles, causing the top floor to collapse; the Pocket Toad snatched the Divine Pen as it fell.
• The Zuma Stone Frog was petrified and fell into the darkness, while Cola urged the two frogs to flee the collapsing tower.
• Mu You emerged from the sinking Lighthouse holding the Divine Pen and commanded the Lamp Genie to annihilate Caesar’s million-strong Undead Army.

Evans’s exhausted soldiers were saved when Mu You used the Pen of Order to erase the Undead Army, then Evans and Mu You’s allies helped defeat Caesar. Caesar’s divine power was drawn into the Miracle Lamp, leaving him surrounded by cats as the Minstrel warned him not to get stepped on.

• Mu You used the Pen of Order to destroy the Undead Army, and Evans led his surviving troops toward the Oasis to confront Caesar.
• Caesar attacked Mu You, but Lin Xue’s Death Knell, the Manticore, and the Bone Dragon restrained him while Mu You revealed his weakness.
• The Manticore, Bone Dragon, and Lin Xue exposed Caesar’s heart, while Evans drew Caesar’s attention as the Archer’s hidden arrow carried the Desert Guardian toward the wound.
• The arrow pierced Caesar’s heart, and his divine power flowed into the Miracle Lamp as the Minstrel declared him defeated.
• The Minstrel summoned the cats Caesar had driven into the forest, and they surrounded him.

After Caesar lost his divine power, he tried to escape as a Scarab but was crushed by Cola, while Evans and the Minstrel prepared to protect the desert’s legacy. Mu You returned to Dawn City and began fusing with God's Blood and a Demon God's Bone, leaving him in agonizing pain as the process began.

• Caesar turned into a Scarab and unleashed a huge swarm to cover his escape, but Mu You, Lin Xue, the Bone Dragon, and the cats killed nearly all of the insects.
• Caesar crawled toward the desert, but Cola accidentally stepped on and killed him while emerging from hiding.
• Evans told Mu You that fewer than a tenth of his soldiers had died, and the Minstrel confirmed that he could reclaim his divine power from the Magic Lamp.
• Evans returned Desert Guardian to the Minstrel, who revealed that Evans was descended from Serket and called him the Guardian God of the Desert.
• Mu You, Lin Xue, and their companions teleported to Dawn City, where Mu You prepared to fuse God's Blood and the Demon God's Bone after learning the process would take about a week.
• Mu You began the fusion in the Power Room and immediately felt intense, spreading heat throughout his body.

• A Dragon Group Director told Nine Nether that nine black holes had appeared worldwide, including two in their country, while the Americas faced several monster attacks and the Ghost Ship Captain had not responded.

As monsters poured through nine black holes into Earth, Son of Heaven urged the world's factions to unite, while Lin Xue revealed that the Ghost Ship Captain was trapped in the Star Spirit World for a week and warned them about the God-Eater Beasts. The chapter ended with nations issuing evacuation and emergency directives to reduce the risk of giants discovering the holes.

• Hell Baron reported that monsters were repeatedly emerging from two black holes in the Americas, and Son of Heaven explained that the holes attracted creatures because their light shone into the dark world beyond.
• Son of Heaven warned the group that monsters could reproduce and that intelligent giants might discover the holes, then called for a worldwide joint command organization.
• Xiao Ya asked Lin Xue how to respond to the group, and Lin Xue joined as Dawn City's acting representative and confirmed the Ghost Ship Captain was in the Star Spirit World and unable to return for a week.
• Lin Xue disclosed the God Race's extinction and the God-Eater Beasts, leaving the group to conclude they had to endure seven days and hope no giant found the holes.
• The world's major nations ordered evacuations near the nine black holes, recruited combatants and Weather Magic users to create dark clouds, and imposed strict limits on noise and light.

As monsters poured from the Black Hole near V City, Xiao Ya and Qingya Shuxiang helped K City's defenders repel a three-beast attack. Meanwhile, Lin Xue investigated the God-Eater Beasts and learned that the Black-Robed One may have secretly studied them long ago.

• As night fell in the Giant World, monsters emerged from V City's Black Hole in greater numbers, and K City's defensive line came under pressure from three two-star beasts.

Lin Xue set out to force the Wizards' Association to reveal what it knew about God-Eater Beasts, while Son of Heaven's group hunted giant beasts near the Pacific Black Hole. Their battle stopped when a young giant reached the opening and peered through it into the world below.

• Lin Xue borrowed Vivian's remains and traveled to the Wizards' Association branch in the Imperial Capital to summon the Black-Robed One.
