Mu You was trapped in a Chaos State by a trap set by the God of Chaos, and his attempts to reverse time or escape the game failed. As his Deviation Value rose, his clones fought Ju Snake’s swarm and discovered that the Fairy King was the remaining force suppressing its will.
The Nameless Fairy transformed into an Eerie One and reached Mu You, who accepted her contract to double his Deviation Value recovery and limit despite its dangerous cost. With her help blocking Ju Snake’s mental attack, Mu You regained control of his right hand and began using the Pen of Order to repair the Fairy King’s mind.
Mu You’s intervention briefly restored the Fairy King, but Ju Snake’s influence drove him to force Tina into becoming the jailer. The Night Watchman took Ju Snake’s will into himself to save her, and settled into his new imprisonment by falling asleep, which quieted the snakes.
Mu You calmed the corrupted Fairy Girl by giving her the name Mu Lan, Order Keeper, but the Poison of Chaos then severed his connection to his game character and left it trapped in the past. After learning from the Administrators about the Herbalist’s role in obtaining a Save Device, Mu You planned to visit the Bitter Garden to retrieve his character and clones.
Mu You returned to the Star Spirit World with Fuya and Geguwu, where they found Radiant City fallen and reunited with the dragon and fairy who had grown powerful over four thousand years. The fairy, now calling herself Mu Lan the Orderly, showed jealous hostility toward Fuya, while Mu You discovered their old contract still affected him.
Mu You reunited with Fairy Girl, then traveled to Rose City, where its defenders attacked him despite Fairy Girl's claim that he was the prophesied Savior's Child. After Linglong and Spider Girl arrived, Mu You discovered how much they had changed during the four thousand years he had been away, while Fairy Girl's dangerous jealousy flared again.
Mu You learned Linglong’s memories of the Bitter Garden’s past four thousand years and why its three nations had fought. The clones had kept the fairies alive and Ju Snake sealed, while the Herbalist’s long work in the Dark Grotto remained a mystery.
Mu You entered the Dark Grotto and freed his game character from its crystal prison, restoring its ability to log off. The Fairy Girl disappeared after realizing how much her devotion burdened him, while the experience she had accumulated for him raised him to level 25.
Mu You reached Legendary Grade after using Evolution Potions, then synchronized memories with the Herbalist and learned about his centuries of Dark Grotto potion research. As Ju Snake’s seal weakened, Mu You raised and dropped the Holy Spear to pin the serpent again, while the Night Watchman and the others fought to contain it.
After the group sealed Ju Snake, it triggered a riot among the fairies by revealing that the Fools had helped kill the Fairy King, while the Herbalist directed Linglong to a stockpile of Sweet Potions. Ju Snake then revealed that it had spent four thousand years secretly shedding scales to create an avatar, and most of its consciousness escaped the seal.
The Herbalist’s hidden plan to capture Ju Snake’s escaping avatar was revealed as the Shadow Fluffball trapped it at the edge of the Barrier’s light. Mu You learned that the Herbalist had spent four thousand years pursuing Ju Snake, and the Demon God’s Bone of Greed assimilated more completely.
Mu You and his allies restrained Ju Snake’s incarnation and used the Wind Burial Cannon to destroy its body, but Ju Snake seized the Herbalist’s Qilin Arm before Mu You revealed a second stored shot. Ju Snake’s body was obliterated, leaving only its fading consciousness behind.
Mu You and his companions defeated Ju Snake’s incarnation and sealed most of its consciousness inside the Night Watchman, while Shadow Fluffball recovered Ju Snake’s indestructible reverse scale. Mu You found Fairy Girl transformed by the Poison of Chaos, restored her saved state with the Save Device, and took on part of her burden as her contract partner again.
After evacuating the Bitter Garden to protect its people from Ju Snake, the Herbalist and her companions helped reunite the fairies and arrange contracts with players. As the clones prepared to leave, Tina and Isabeli stayed with their companions, while the Herbalist offered Geguwu a choice between forgetting the past to regain her youth or keeping her memories.
Mu You retrieved his three clones from the military-controlled well, brought them back to the pet shop, and helped them register for the game. He then learned that a six-star Wetland Enchantress had become more dangerous near the Tower of Heroes, while the city lords planned to attack it despite the nine-star giant its presence could attract.
Mu You prepared to fight the Wetland Enchantress and intercept the Giant, while Lin Xue’s new God of Death powers offered a way to kill the flower by attacking its soul. The group settled on loot and battle plans, and Mu You headed to the Giant’s remains to attempt refining them.
Solomon, Son of Heaven, Nine Nether, Wu Ying, and Red Sickle Girl coordinated to defeat the Wetland Enchantress while Mu You and Son of Heaven kept a nearby Giant occupied. Mu You finished refining the Giant remains and collected the loot, then fled as the enraged Giant charged after him.
Mu You escaped the Nine-Star Giant by reaching the sea, then shared in the Wetland Enchantress’s loot and watched Lin Xue publicize the God of Death System. He set out to stop the sea’s water storage device, evaded its guardian by wearing Octopus King skin, and began turning the rusted main switch.
Mu You explored the sea beneath the True World, found a Black Vortex, and was attacked by the giant octopus guarding it. After returning from the encounter, he discussed the Herbalist’s Fire God devotion and went to meet Mai, who had found an Ancient Diary about the Blood Clan Progenitor.
Mu You followed a clue in the Blood Clan Progenitor’s diary to Waterless Echo, where he found an underground palace filled with Vampire Duke remains. He used the remains to advance his Vampire skin to Duke and considered continuing to gather Primordial Blood.
Mu You entered Enoch City through the hidden blood gate and was attacked before discovering that divine blood could advance him to Blood Clan Progenitor. After waking among three vampire factions, he faced their offers to recruit him and weighed his options.
Mu You passed a staged courage test and met Prince Regent Moltaza Yukik, who offered him a task in exchange for a chance to join the Royals and a drop of Sourceless Heart Blood. After learning about the city’s vampire clans, Mu You discovered that the scenario’s administrator was hiding among its characters and offered a special clearance route for finding them.
Mu You learned the Blood Clan scenario’s rewards and restrictions, awakened Talent Absorption, and went to the underground black market to investigate a Vampire movie for the Regent. After questioning the seller, he watched the man flee and found himself surrounded by armed thugs.
Mu You escaped an ambush by rewinding time and tricking Tasaki Genshu into thinking he had learned Super Sense instead of Talent Absorption. With Tasaki offering help and the masked vampire still watching over him, Mu You acquired weapons and followed his new ally toward the regent’s task.
Mu You and Tasaki Genshu fought through the sewers to reach the Deformed Clan’s base, where Tasaki Genshu’s Blood Road talent was countered by Arian. Mu You intervened with precise revolver shots, helping Tasaki Genshu defeat Arian and keep the mission—and the chance to obtain Blood Road—alive.
