The God of Space arrived with hundreds of thousands of giant soldiers, while the Seam God hid inside a gigantic shell of stitched beasts to avoid Lin Xue’s soul-cutting scythe. The God of Space attacked Mu You, but the Pocket Watch rewound time to save him before Ju Snake immobilized the god with its pressure.
Mu You and his allies fought to keep the God of Space from removing the Night Watchman from the battlefield, while Katelinna arrived carrying Lilith’s head and wielding part of the Blood God’s power. Lilith summoned hundreds of thousands of fallen God Race heroes to counter the enemy army, but the God of Space then summoned five more gods, leaving the battle poised to escalate.
Mu You used the power of the Heavenly Dao to seal the City of Order and effortlessly force the God of Vibration to kneel, revealing a power the enemy gods recognized as Heavenly Dao Pressure. The God of Space realized Mu You might have sealed the city to stop the gods from fleeing.
Mu You used the Heavenly Dao and his pen-written rules to suppress the New God Race’s gods while the armies fought for control of the City of Order. As God-Slayer approached, Mu You added him to the gods he was controlling, while God-Slayer prepared to try an uncertain plan.
Mu You used the Scales of Order against God-Slayer, but God-Slayer countered with the Chaos Orb, which could erase Order Locks. Mu You stole the orb, resumed stacking chains on the enemy gods, and used the battlefield to rapidly advance his Thief God Divine Bone digestion.
Mu You stole treasures and used Judgement to kill the Shield God while suppressing the enemy gods, but the God of Space sacrificed himself to open a rift for the God of Chaos. The God of Order’s lingering will joined Mu You to close the rift, leaving the God-Eater Beast army’s lines collapsing.
Mu You used the God of Order’s lingering will to stop the God of Chaos from arriving, then led the God Race to crush the God-Eater Beasts. God-Slayer chose to attack Mu You rather than flee, but died after the Lamp Genie’s illusion thwarted his final charge, leaving the battlefield won by the God Race.
After the battle, the God of Order used his remaining power to restore the Book of Order and establish a Heroic Spirit Roster, allowing the surviving God-Race Heroic Spirits to continue fighting. He then spoke privately with Mu You, revealing that Mu You’s arrival was part of a larger plan before his will faded.
After the God of Order vanished, Mu You planned to strengthen his Heavenly Dao and the group debated how to distribute eight captured divine authorities. They assigned slashing to Mu You, sewing to Lin Xue, and space to the Blood Emperor, while the Lamp Genie led a pursuit of fleeing God-Eater Beasts at Sunset City.
After the battle for the City of Order, Mu You and Lin Xue used God-Slayer's and the Seam God's Divine Authorities to remove a God-Eater Beast parasite from Wildman Muro. The operation succeeded, but the extracted parasite reassembled into a living jellyfish-like creature inside a sealed container.
After surgery, Lilith discovered that the God-Eater Beasts were experimenting on Ancients to create a mutant capable of controlling them, while Mu You investigated two relics in Order City. The chapter ended with the wildman waking and recovering all his memories, including his name, identity, and homeland.
Mu You learned that the Mechanic had vanished during the God-Eater Beast crisis and began gathering materials to repair the Voidwalker, but the wildman's recovered memories revealed a quicker route to Jie Forest. After entering through a hidden Space Vortex, Mu You encountered Jie Forest's sentinels, who refused to move the stones blocking the passage, leaving him to seek the Tribal Chief himself.
Mu You entered Jie Forest alone to find the Wildmen’s chief, but his gear and energy were weakened by the forest, forcing him to rely on his own strength. After fighting a mutated Hammerhead Rhino, he discovered that creatures there left behind blue butterflies and collectible biological molts that caused their corpses to disappear.
Mu You discovered that Insect Molts reduced his maximum energy while granting physical attributes and Divinity System Resistance, and learned that Jie Forest rejected outsiders carrying too much Divinity. After consuming his stockpile of Insect Molts, he crossed the forest’s hostile perimeter without provoking a riot and continued deeper into Jie Forest.
Mu You entered the second layer of Jie Forest, learned survival tips from a survey team's message, and struggled against the stronger suppression there. He killed a Moon Lion with the Qilin Arm and discovered that the well it guarded contained Moonlight Slurry and a signal-emitting bluestone.
Mu You obtained a moonstone that powered the Mechanical Heart, activated the Black Angel, and heard the Mechanic’s account of how Jie Forest had inspired his work and guided him toward its depths. After reaching the third layer, Mu You found a warning from the Fool Ancestor about deadly forest calamities and learned that the expedition team had been nearly wiped out.
Mu You survived the Blade Wind by taking shelter in a hollow Jie Tree, then followed a moving signal to a giant snail carrying small animals through the storm. Inside the snail, he found the Mechanic’s moonstone recording and learned about buried combat mecha, while realizing the snail sheltered animals as they helped carry its eggs to safety.
Mu You discovered that the Rain of Time accelerated his faith conversion and grew his Time Seed, then investigated how it affected Jie Forest’s creatures. He concluded that Time Butterflies carried creatures’ lives and memories through a repeating cycle, while he continued soaking in the rain to cultivate his Divine Authority.
Mu You crossed into the Jie Forest’s Fourth Layer, where the environment nearly nullified his divine powers and crippled the Black Angel. A poisonous vine trapped him, but two children rescued him, and he awoke in a stone house with a pair of Fools who wondered how far the Fools outside had advanced.
Mu You met Hohenlohe Cummings, Lisha Kay, and their children in Jie Forest, learned how the couple had survived there for thirteen hundred years, and discovered that the Moon Festival offered a brief, safer route to the Wildmen. Cummings explained that survival depended on accepting humanity’s weakness, while Mu You remained intent on reaching the Wildmen quickly to warn them about Parasitic Beasts.
Mu You learned the Fourth Layer’s survival rules from Cummings’s family, assembled a makeshift suit of armor, and received their Jie Forest survival manual before setting out for the Fifth Layer. There, his enhanced attributes and armor helped him pass the first threat, but half an hour into exploring, he encountered a danger that ended his confidence.
Mu You survived a clash with a Spiky White-Haired Boar after the Wind Qilin appeared and carried him to its nest, apparently mistaking his Qilin Arm for a sign that he was one of its young. He reluctantly accepted the mother qilin’s nourishing milk as it repeatedly increased his constitution.
Mu You drank qilin milk, greatly raised his constitution, and gained four wind talents before collecting scales from the Wind Qilin’s nest. He escaped at night, but the Wind Qilin let him go and gifted him hundreds of intact scales as he continued toward the Wildman Tribe.
Mu You reached a Wildman tribe on the sixth floor of the Jie Forest and learned from the blacksmith Beard that the Tribal Chief would not heed his warning about the God-Eater Beasts without evidence. Beard explained the Ancients’ history and revealed that Mu You could earn an audience by collecting 1,000 Favor Tokens.
Mu You searched the wildman tribe for a way to meet the Tribal Chief, but found no trace of Muro’s mother, Sescia, and failed to earn favors through missions. While trying to sneak onto the Seventh Floor, he was guided by a distant archer’s arrows to a prison cell high in a giant Jie Tree, where the imprisoned master archer remained unseen.
