• Mu You discovered that ordinary magic failed, but he could cast Black Magic by concentrating roughly twice as hard as usual.

Mu You infiltrated the Octopus King’s dream and met Meili, an elf who had secretly retained her memories for centuries. After learning that sixty-seven elves remained imprisoned near the Octopus King’s heart, he received Meili’s request to tell Harrington Xiu they were gone, but realized freeing them might also help Harrington become a Sprite.

• Mu You followed strange marks in the Sunlight Forest and discovered a timid Wisdom Tree, whose fruit could be used to make valuable potions.
• Mu You’s traps and attempts to catch the Wisdom Tree failed because it dodged them or died of fright, so he rewound time and followed it from a distance.
• When the Wisdom Tree threw a poisonous Wisdom Fruit at Mu You, he extracted it into reality before his character could eat it.

Mu You captured the Wisdom Tree, brewed a Comprehension Potion, and advanced his preparations for Dawn City while the Divine Right of Kings and Jack’s crew assembled in the Evil Spirit Sea.

Mu You rescued all sixty-seven elves from the Octopus King's belly and received the old elf's Sprite reward before returning to the Undersea Prison. As Son of Heaven and Jack's groups gathered eight Map Fragments, a spreading fog signaled Mu You's arrival, and he revealed himself as the Ghost Ship Captain by striking an Octopus Soldier.

• Mu You used the Fate Compass, with White Bone Island as his reference, to point steadily toward entrance one.

• Mu You found that the whirlpool admitted him only after he removed the backpack containing the rescued Forest Elves, then entered it with Lin Xue and Xiao Ya.

• Mu You, Lin Xue, and Xiao Ya followed Divine Right of Kings through Sky City, then diverted after the fragment when Son of Heaven’s people split up.
• After the group left, a giant octopus arm crawled from the lake, split into countless small octopuses, and scattered through the city.
