Chapters 651–675 Vol. 7 Read

Ch. 651Time and Space

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.

  • The God of Space opened portals across the City of Order and brought in hundreds of thousands of giant soldiers.
  • The Herbalist and Lin Xue drove the Seam God to merge with Stitched Beasts until his body was hidden inside a giant stitched shell.
  • The fighters attacked the shell, but the Seam God repeatedly stitched its wounds closed and taunted them from within.
  • The God of Space attacked Mu You, who used the Stillness Realm and Order rules to block the god’s teleporting strikes.
  • The Pocket Watch rewound time by one second, allowing Mu You to dodge another attack from the God of Space.
  • Ju Snake turned its pressure on the God of Space, stopping his movement and causing blood to seep from his face.

Ch. 652Thanks for the teammates, my space bro

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.

  • God-Slayer attacked the Night Watchman, forcing Ju Snake to stop suppressing the God of Space, who then tried and failed to teleport the Night Watchman away.
  • A blood-red formation blocked the teleport, and Ju Snake struck the God of Space, sending him fleeing before he returned beside God-Slayer.
  • Katelinna emerged from a sea of blood carrying Lilith’s head, and Lilith told Mu You that they should deal with the enemy first.
  • Lilith called on the fallen heroes buried in the Ancient Battlefield, raising more than two hundred thousand empowered skeletons to face the God-Eater Beasts’ three hundred thousand troops.
  • The God of Space opened five portals and summoned the gods of Perception, Beast Taming, Artillery, Shield, and Vibration, exhausting himself to bring his squad to the battle.

Ch. 653Three Authorities in One, the Power of the Heavenly Dao

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.

  • The Night Watchman considered releasing Ju Snake in exchange for its help, but Mu You arrived and warned Ju Snake to behave, making it fear him with the power of the Heavenly Dao.
  • The five newly arrived gods assessed the battlefield and celebrated the chance to seize Divine Authorities before Mu You sealed the City of Order with a powerful rule.
  • Mu You discovered that his Heavenly Dao-backed rules could overwhelm Divine Authorities, while the Chaos Clone rapidly drained his Deviation Value.
  • The God of Vibration charged at Mu You, who wrote the rule “Kneel!” and forced the god to drop to his knees before both armies.
  • The God of Space and God-Slayer recognized Mu You’s power as Heavenly Dao Pressure, and the God of Space suspected the city had been sealed to prevent them from fleeing.

Ch. 654His cheat had arrived-true freedom to do as he pleased

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.

  • The God of Vibration and four other gods were battered by Mu You’s rules, while he redirected the artillery god’s Light Cannon and stopped the God of Beast Taming from summoning beasts.
  • The God of Space ordered the God-Eater Beast Army to charge, and Mu You left the battle against the troops to the Lamp Genie and the Blood God.
  • The Lamp Genie led the God-Race Undead into battle, where they gained ground against the demoralized God-Eater Beasts as players and City Lords joined the fighting.
  • The God of Space considered breaking the seal over the battlefield, but God-Slayer stopped him and said he had to try another way.
  • God-Slayer slipped toward Mu You, who added a sixth rule to suppress him and recognized that his current power could control the gods but not quickly kill them.

Ch. 655The Master Thief Incarnate, Stealing Across the Battlefield

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 built up forty Order Locks on God-Slayer and activated Order Judgement, but the Chaos Orb dissolved the chains and saved God-Slayer.
  • God-Slayer called the other gods over to share the Chaos Orb's energy, hoping to remove their Order Locks and survive until Mu You's power ended.
  • Mu You confirmed the Pocket Watch could rewind time, then stole the Chaos Orb from God-Slayer and discovered it reduced his deviation.
  • Mu You resumed writing rules, while the God of Perception urged the gods to stop moving; Mu You countered by making stillness trigger lightning strikes.
  • Mu You stole from the enemy gods and raised his Thief God Divine Bone digestion progress to twenty percent.
  • Mu You began stealing valuable equipment from the God-Eater Beasts, disrupting their battle line as stolen items piled up around him.

Ch. 656I am not a sinner

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 completed the assimilation of the Thief God's Divine Bone and used Judgement to kill the Shield God, becoming the first god to fall in the battle.
  • The God of Space detonated his Divine Authority Seed and tore open a rift in the barrier, intending to bring the God of Chaos onto the battlefield.
  • Mu You tried to close the rift with the Power of Order, but the God of Chaos’s stronger power of the Heavenly Dao pushed it wider.
  • The God of Space died after completing the summoning ritual, murmuring, "I am not a sinner. I'm not..."
  • The God of Order's lingering will appeared and lent Mu You enough Power of Order to force the chaos back and close the rift.
  • The God Race Wraiths rallied at the God of Order's appearance, and the God-Eater Beast army's lines crumbled.

Ch. 657The Dust Settles

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.

  • The God of Order’s lingering will emerged from Mu You’s scales and interrupted the God of Chaos’s teleportation.
  • Mu You judged the remaining enemy gods while the God Race routed the God-Eater Beasts and drove them into a corner.
  • God-Slayer detonated his Divine Authority Seed, raised his star level beyond the scales’ reach, and charged Mu You instead of escaping.
  • Mu You redirected God-Slayer’s slashes into the Seam God’s stitched body, exposing him to Lin Xue’s Black Angel, which drained his soul and killed him.
  • Ju Snake’s pressure slowed God-Slayer as he pursued Mu You, but the Lamp Genie’s illusion made him waste his final attack on a false target.
  • God-Slayer’s power faded, and Mu You’s scales judged him as he died; the God-Eater Beasts within the city were wiped out.

Ch. 658The Heroic Spirit Roster, the God of Order's Guidance

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.

  • The Lamp Genie mourned God-Slayer, while Mu You continued writing rules to control the Chaos Clone’s excess energy.
  • The God of Order’s phantom entered Mu You and created the permanent Heroic Spirit Roster rule, restoring the Book of Order and expanding its capacity.
  • At the God of Order’s request, 193244 surviving Heroic Spirits registered their names and entered the Book of Order to fight again when God-Eater Beasts threatened.
  • The God of Order apologized to Lilith, praised the Lamp Genie, and let his will fade after entrusting the future to them.
  • In a Pure White Space, the God of Order told Mu You he could answer only three questions; he could not explain the God-Eater Beasts’ origins but confirmed they were connected to him.
  • The God of Order said Mu You was part of a larger plan and advised him to find the other two kinds of Divine Authority, complete his three Divine Authority Seeds, and strengthen his Heavenly Dao.

Ch. 659The allocation of divine authorities

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.

  • Mu You concluded that he needed to obtain the time and chaos authorities to complete his Heavenly Dao, and the Lamp Genie organized battlefield cleanup and prepared to reinforce the pursuit at Sunset City.
  • Ava reported that the God-Eater Beast army at Sunset City had routed and that many enemies were escaping; the Lamp Genie set off on the Flying Carpet to hunt them down.
  • The Herbalist reported that the battle had yielded nearly six hundred thousand sets of giant bones, and the group turned to allocating the eight captured divine authorities.
  • Lilith warned Mu You that he could not fuse with the Space Divine Bone without endangering his Heavenly Dao, so he chose the God-Slayer authority of slashing for its offensive power.
  • Lilith recommended giving Seam God's sewing authority to Lin Xue, while the City Lords agreed that the Blood Emperor should receive the Space Divine Bone.
  • Mu You and the others informed the Blood Emperor of their decision, and he reacted with surprise at being chosen.

Ch. 660Craniotomy

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.

  • The City Lords and faction leaders drew up and reviewed candidates for five Divine Authorities while Mu You assessed his experience and faith gains from the battle.
  • Mu You visited Wildman Muro, whose condition had worsened since God-Slayer implanted a red God-Eater Beast in him, and decided that they had to remove it surgically.
  • Mu You and Lin Xue fused with the Divine Bones of God-Slayer and the Seam God, and Mu You spent two days using Rewind to study and practice surgery.
  • The Lamp Genie used his candlelight to calm Wildman Muro, while Mu You opened his head with the Healing Blade and removed the parasite as Lin Xue kept the severed tissue suspended.
  • Lin Xue sewed Wildman Muro's head back together, and he recovered quietly after the successful operation.
  • The extracted red material gathered into a jellyfish-shaped creature and attacked the walls of its container while the onlookers watched.

Ch. 661Medical Miracle (City of Order Arc Conclusion)

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.

  • Lilith subdued the red God-Eater Beast and searched its memories, discovering that the God-Eater Beasts were holding Ancients as experimental subjects to create a mutant that could control them.
  • The Herbalist told Mu You that the Shadow Fluffball had found a rib belonging to the Shadow God, and Mu You agreed to save it for a future divine authority merge.
  • The Herbalist showed Mu You a damaged Voidwalker armor, and they used the Mechanical Heart to recover the Mechanic's message about seeking a way to protect the God Race in the Primordial Land.
  • The wildman suddenly woke up, recognized the Night Watchman, and said that he remembered his name, identity, homeland, and past.

Ch. 662First entry into Jie Forest

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.

  • The Lamp Genie recalled that the Mechanic had disappeared after the God-Eater Beast crisis began, while Ava confirmed that the Voidwalker could be repaired if Mu You gathered replacement materials.
  • The Night Watchman reported that the wildman had regained his memories, and the wildman recalled entering a Space Vortex near Dawn City that had transported him from Jie Forest.
  • Mu You followed the wildman to the vortex and used Bat Form to squeeze through a gap in the boulders blocking its far side, arriving in Jie Forest despite the suppression of his divine powers and the Fool Game.
  • Two wildmen confronted Mu You, then let him pass after he showed them the Paper Crane, but they refused to move the boulders or report his request to the Tribal Chief.
  • Mu You gave up on persuading the sentinels and decided he would have to find the Tribal Chief himself.

Ch. 663Blue Butterflies and Molts

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.

  • Two Wildmen refused to escort Mu You to their tribe, but one gave him a carved stone to show his mother, Sescia, if he could not find the chief.
  • Mu You learned that Jie Forest had seven inhabited layers and a forbidden sacred lake at its center, then crossed into the forest with Ava and transferred his equipment there.
  • Mu You found an old Soul-Guiding Lamp and observed the forest’s strange creatures, including an Egg Beast that hatched into a blue butterfly after falling to its death.
  • A mutated Hammerhead Rhino pursued Mu You, but he crippled it with God-Slayer and killed it after a lengthy fight.
  • A blue butterfly emerged from the rhino’s corpse, and Mu You rewound time to collect its High-Quality Biological Molt, causing the corpse to shrivel into dust.

Ch. 664The path to strengthening the body

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 tested an Insect Molt, losing one point of maximum energy while gaining a Restricted Attribute Point and Divinity System Resistance, and found that 1,000 Divinity Crystals restored the lost energy.
  • Mu You tested more Insect Molts and learned that each maximum energy point granted rewards only once, while stronger creatures produced higher-quality molts.
  • Mu You was killed twice when Poisonous Insects and Beasts rioted at the same point in Jie Forest, then used the Pocket Watch to confirm that retreating stopped the attacks.
  • Ava helped Mu You recover a recording from Mechanic’s robot head, revealing that Jie Forest’s consciousness rejected outsiders with excessive Divinity energy and that Insect Molts helped them enter.
  • Mu You consumed his gathered Insect Molts, reducing his maximum energy by 46 points and gaining 46 Restricted Attribute Points and 4.6% Divinity System Resistance.
  • Mu You crossed the perimeter without provoking the forest’s creatures and continued deeper into Jie Forest.

Ch. 665The Moon Lion and the Moon Well

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 crossed into the second layer, ate Insect Molts, and found Hohenlohe Cummings's message and survival guide beneath a Soul-Guiding Lamp.
  • Mu You learned that teleportation did not work in Jie Forest, then narrowly defeated a Tentacled Lizard Crocodile and disguised himself with Paper-Roll Flower juice.
  • Ava detected a signal from a clearing, where Mu You found a well guarded by a Moon Lion.
  • Mu You rewound time and killed the Moon Lion with the Wind Burial Cannon fired from the Qilin Arm.
  • Mu You saw the Moon Lion's butterfly enter the well, discovered blue butterflies and a signal-emitting bluestone inside, and learned that the water was corrosive Moonlight Slurry.

Ch. 666The Mechanic's Message

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 used the Qilin Arm to retrieve a moonstone from the Moon Well and connected it to the Mechanical Heart, enabling him to activate the Black Angel despite its suppressed ranged weapons and flight.
  • The moonstone played the Mechanic’s recording, revealing that Jie Forest had inspired his inventions and was directing him deeper into the forest, where he had left modified armor parts for others to find.
  • Mu You tempered the Qilin Arm and Resurrection Stone with Moon Well water, took three of the six moonstones, and left three behind as seeds.
  • With the Black Angel’s help, Mu You crossed the second layer and entered the third, where suppression exceeded 90 percent and more of the armor’s components failed.
  • Mu You found Hohenlohe Cummings’s message stating that Squad 128 had been reduced to three survivors and had lost its supplies and ability to make Soul-Guiding Lamps.
  • Mu You learned that the Blade Wind and Time Rain calamities had devastated the team, killing members caught outside shelter.

Ch. 667The wondrous ecology of Jie Forest (part one)

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’s character was caught in the Blade Wind and carved a hollow in a withered Jie Tree to shelter from the crystal shards.
  • Ava detected a moving signal three thousand meters away, and Mu You left the tree to pursue it through the storm.
  • Mu You found a giant snail sheltering small animals in its body and followed them into its abdominal cavity.
  • Mu You cut open a big-mouthed duck and recovered a moonstone containing a recording from the Mechanic about lightweight armor and three combat mecha buried beneath a moon well.
  • Mu You watched the snail release eggs as the Blade Wind wounded it and inferred that the sheltered animals would carry the eggs away, continuing a symbiotic cycle.

Ch. 668The wondrous ecology of Jie Forest (Part two)

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.

  • After the Blade Wind ended, Mu You watched the giant snail die, kept its shell for shelter, and saw the small animals expose their eggs to the rain.
  • Mu You stepped into the Rain of Time and spent fifty-five years of Lifespan to convert his eight-star Divinity into Order Faith, while his Time Seed grew from 0.3% to 0.4%.
  • Mu You used the Eternal Spinning Top and confirmed that it worked inside Jie Forest, leading him to conclude that Time Divine Authority connected the Divinity system with the Primordial World’s rules.
  • Mu You asked the Night Watchman to transfer ten thousand years of Lifespan and continued standing in the rain to grow his Time Seed.
  • Mu You saw the snail eggs hatch and observed the rain accelerate the growth of nearby creatures and plants.
  • Mu You deduced that Time Butterflies carried creatures’ memories through a cycle of birth, aging, death, and transformation into rain.

Ch. 669A Familiar Encounter in a Foreign Land

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 realized Time Rain and Blade Wind helped renew the Jie Forest’s ecosystem, but his Time Seed stopped growing at 10.3%.
  • After failing to find the third layer’s Moon Well or Mechanic’s relics, Mu You entered the Fourth Layer and found his divine powers and the Black Angel severely suppressed.
  • A stationary enhanced Pulse Signal led Mu You toward Mechanic’s possible relics, but living vines trapped the Black Angel and injected him with poison.
  • A child speaking Star Spirit Language found Mu You, and a man and woman treated him while he remained unconscious.
  • Mu You awoke in a stone house beside two pale-blue children and met two Fools, one of whom held the Black Angel’s head and asked whether the Fools outside had developed so far.

Ch. 670Moon Festival

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 reassured Cummings and Lisha that the Fools outside had survived, and the couple accepted that he was the Successor of Order rather than a parasite host.
  • Cummings explained that each year the Moon Festival made Jie Forest’s creatures less aggressive, allowing travelers to reach the Wildmen’s tribe and trade for supplies and information.
  • Cummings recounted how he and Lisha had used Moon Butterfly guidance and salvaged Mechanical Battle Armor components to escape the third layer, then settled in Jie Forest after believing the Fools had been wiped out.
  • Cummings introduced Milei and Mina, explaining that the children were born as native creatures of Jie Forest and grew only when exposed to Time Rain.
  • Cummings described Moon Lake and Moon Butterflies as central to Jie Forest’s ecology, and suggested that Moon Butterflies had enabled him and Lisha to have children there.
  • Cummings told Mu You that humans could survive in Jie Forest by abandoning their pride, recognizing their weakness, and adapting to life at the bottom of the food chain.

Ch. 671Jie Forest survival manual

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 followed Cummings’s family for three days, learning how they hunted Antlered Hippos through observation and teamwork.
  • Mu You assembled a powerful makeshift armor suit from the Mechanic’s components and promised to give it to Milei after his business was done.
  • Cummings gave Mu You the family’s Jie Forest survival manual, and he learned that they planned to remain in the forest because it was their home.
  • Mu You left the family, crossed the Fourth Layer in his armor, and entered the Fifth Layer, where game text and item transfers were heavily delayed.
  • Mu You ate Insect Molts, increased his attributes, and continued exploring after the local creatures lost interest in him.
  • Half an hour into the Fifth Layer, Mu You’s confidence vanished when he encountered a danger his armor might not withstand.

Ch. 672The Wind Qilin Overflowing with Maternal Love

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 and Ava used two Wind Burial Cannon shots against the Spiky White-Haired Boar, badly injuring it but failing to kill it.
  • As the enraged boar charged again, it spotted something behind Mu You and fled in terror.
  • An adult Wind Qilin arrived, examined Mu You’s Qilin Arm, and carried his Battle Armor to its nest among four Wind Qilin cubs.
  • The cubs swarmed Mu You until their mother returned and gathered them to nurse.
  • When Mu You tried to escape, the mother qilin pulled him against her belly and fed him milk that increased his constitution.

Ch. 673Bloodline Modification, Four Hereditary Talents

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 drank the Wind Qilin’s milk, raised his constitution, and gained the Wind Tamer and Wind Listener talents.
  • Mu You searched the nest and collected more than seventy Qilin Scales before the Wind Qilin returned.
  • Mu You drank more milk until his constitution reached its limit of 454, gaining Wind Rider and Wind Hider.
  • Mu You collected over 220 scales in the nest and waited until night to escape without waking the other qilin.
  • The Wind Qilin found Mu You outside the nest, gave him 274 intact Wind Qilin Scales, and watched him leave.

Ch. 674King of the Ancients, Child of the Moon

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 entered the Wildman tribe after showing the guards his Paper Crane, but they could not arrange a meeting with the Tribal Chief.
  • Mu You found Beard’s blacksmith shop and offered him a damaged Qilin scale in exchange for help.
  • Mu You warned Beard that the God-Eater Beasts were researching how to parasitize Wildmen, but admitted he had no proof.
  • Beard explained that the Tribal Chief followed the Ancient King’s rule against outside alliances and wars unless the Jie Forest was attacked.
  • Beard told Mu You that friendly outsiders could earn an audience with the Tribal Chief by collecting 1,000 Favor Tokens, and said he could grant Mu You up to ten.

Ch. 675The imprisoned master archer

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.

  • Mu You refused to trade more scales for favors, learned that Sescia was a common name but not among the tribe’s twelve herbalists, and went to the Stele Forest to search for records of Muro.
  • Mu You found no record of Muro or Sescia and declined several missions before accepting Marcin’s offer to spar with twenty-three wildman children.
  • The children defeated Mu You in all twenty-three matches, so he abandoned the search for favors and decided to sneak onto the Seventh Floor.
  • Mu You reached the edge of the Sixth Floor and tried to cross into the Seventh Floor, but an unseen archer fired arrows into nearby stones to guide him away.
  • Mu You followed the arrows for several kilometers to a clearing and discovered a prison-like structure high in a giant Jie Tree, where the last arrow had come from.
