• The Night Watchman threw the scale into Flame Ox’s vulnerable opening, and Ju Snake’s fear energy woke the Calamity Beast.

Ju Snake revealed that its apparent assault had been a diversion to draw defenders away so it could secretly evacuate Flame Ox, and the God of Chaos realized the pair had escaped.

After seeing many possible futures during his ascension, he warned that the God-Eater Beasts would attack in four days and humanity would lose the battle.

• Lilith analyzed Mu You and Lin Xue’s daughter and found that her four divine authorities were God of Death, God-Slayer, Seam God, and order, with God of Death making up most of her power.

• Mu You told the Lamp Genie and the others that the God-Eater Beasts would attack five cities at dawn in four days and that humanity would lose.

Mu You revealed that humanity would lose the coming war unless they raided the God-Eater Beasts’ home base, though the future beyond that decision was blank. As the world mobilized for battle, Mu You secured Wildmen and Dragon Clan support and prepared to lead a small group to confront the God of Chaos.

• Mu You told the Lamp Genie and the others that every future for the coming war ended in defeat except a raid on the God-Eater Beasts’ home base, and that both sides faced a greater crisis.
• Mu You proposed using the deserted Bitter Garden as a Sky City to carry the raiding party to the enemy’s headquarters, while the world’s leaders declared a state of war and Ava organized the global forces.

• Mu You decided to take only his two clones and Lin Xue on the raid, explaining that ordinary fighters could not affect the battle between him and the God of Chaos.

Mu You and Lin Xue left Earth to carry out their mission while the humans prepared for the God-Eater Beasts’ predicted assault on the five Sky Cities. The battle began at dawn, and although most defenses held, Dusk City’s lines were retreating as the Lamp Genie prayed Mu You would finish in time.

• Dusk City’s defenders, including human Godskin owners and the seven available Sky City Lords, struggled to hold their line while the Lamp Genie supported them from the rear.

Mu You and Lin Xue entered the High Heaven World with their companions and fought through the God of Chaos’s attack to search for him and the Creation Stone Disk. As the Calamity Beasts battled behind them, they reached a woman waiting by a broken tower, only to find a second Desolation Crow blocking their path.
