Mu You traveled into the Crimson Desert aboard a landship with Aizhuomaer commander Jimi Evans and learned that Caesar had possessed the Pen of Order before vanishing with his army. After infiltrating Caesar’s Cult by posing as a wealthy supporter, Mu You was taken by bandits toward their hideout while Evans and his soldiers withdrew.

Mu You searched for the Divine Beast's origins and uncovered a buried Bone Dragon in the Black Snake Bandit Group's canyon. After restoring its eye and feeding it divinity, he heard the dragon ask him to continue so it could revive and serve him.

• Mu You used Strong Wind Gust to uncover the dragon's skull and placed the Divine Beast's Eye into its socket.
• Mu You infused the skull with divinity, awakening the Bone Dragon enough for it to thank him and ask for more divinity to revive.

Mu You and Evans learned from the Minstrel how Caesar had used three wishes to seize the Lamp Genie’s power, only for the Pen of Order to abandon him and the Minstrel to seal him in the Lighthouse. The Minstrel warned that the lamp oil was running low and asked them to work together to kill Caesar before he escaped.

• The Minstrel revealed that he sealed Caesar and his undead army inside the Lamp Genie Realm, but the dwindling lamp oil would eventually let them escape.
• The Minstrel asked Mu You to obtain the Pen of Order and Evans to use the Desert Guardian to kill Caesar, then admitted he had once tested Evans and judged him too soft.

Mu You accepted the Lamp Genie’s quest to enter the Lamp Genie Realm with Evans during the solar eclipse and recover the Divine Pen, then sent Caesar’s cultists to gather cats for their meeting with Caesar.

• Mu Mianmeng helped an elderly woman into the Pet Shop, where the woman said she was searching for a child surnamed Chris.

• Mu You brought Fuya and Cola through the door, then traveled with Lin Xue to the desert while Fuya returned to the Imperial Capital.
• Mu You met Evans and the hidden Aizhuomaer army near Redstone Cliff, where Evans said his soldiers had only limited Holy Light enchantments and were prepared to fight Caesar’s million-strong army.

• Caesar returned to the entrance, learned that Mu You had found the lamp and opened the way, then crushed a follower in anger.
• Caesar summoned his Undead Soldiers and ordered them to destroy the barrier, causing the Divine Realm entrance to expand as sunlight returned.

Mu You entered the Lighthouse to claim the Pen of Order, but the trial stripped away his magical items and powers, leaving him to face its challenges as an ordinary person. Armed with an Illusory Pen of Order that revealed and altered runes, he defeated a mechanical warhorse and continued with injuries and no way to recover.

• Caesar rushed toward the Lighthouse while Ice-Blue Green sensed that the Pocket Toad had arrived and persuaded the Stone Frog to release her so she could find her husband.
• Mu You opened the Lighthouse with the magic lamp and entered, followed by Caesar, Ice-Blue Green, and the Stone Frog.
• Inside the tower, Mu You discovered that his magical items and magic power had vanished, and that he had reverted to an ordinary body.
• A mechanical warhorse attacked Mu You, who used the Illusory Pen of Order to see its runes and erase flawed ones.
• Mu You destroyed enough of the warhorse’s runes to bring it down, then noticed his injuries and worried about facing the rest of the trial without recovery.

Mu You climbed the Lighthouse’s floors, believing the Minstrel’s voice and using the Pen of Order to kill monsters and graft their runes onto himself. After nearly losing himself to the resulting corruption, he realized the voice had likely been Caesar’s deception and that the Pen’s true purpose was to restore order, not destroy it.

• Mu You learned from a voice claiming to be the Minstrel that he had to climb the tower, that Caesar was competing in the trial, and that his companions were safe.
• Mu You fought Mechanical Spiders and Armored Infantrymen, discovered ways to extract their runes, and used those runes to regrow his injuries.
• As Mu You climbed higher, red Order Runes spread through his body and he became consumed by bloodlust, slaughtering monsters until he reached the 182nd floor.
• A blow to the back of Mu You’s head broke his frenzy, and he realized the Pen of Order may have awakened him before the final white rune in his heart turned red.
• Mu You deduced that Caesar had impersonated the Minstrel to mislead him and that destroying order caused corruption; he cut away the chaotic runes from his body.
• Mu You concluded that the trial was meant to teach him to repair disorder in monsters and restore things to their original state.
