• Mu You stopped pulling the Holy Spear after noticing the Fairy King’s suspicious gaze, but the Poison of Chaos immobilized him and made him lose control of his character.
• The Lamp Genie explained that the Poison of Chaos was a trap meant to disrupt the God of Order, and Mu You’s attempts to rewind time and disconnect from the game failed.
• Mu You flew to the Black Hole in V City and repaired damaged order, slowing but not stopping the rise of his Deviation Value.
• The Night Watchman, Linglong, and the Herbalist found Mu You unresponsive and killed him to try to break him out of the Chaos State; the Holy Spear fell back into Ju Snake.
• The three clones fought off Ju Snake’s swarming snakes while Mu You remained unconscious, and the Herbalist pulled the Fairy King from the barrier for answers.
• The Fairy King warned that killing him would let Ju Snake break free, and the Herbalist put him back inside the barrier when the snakes turned on him.

The Nameless Fairy transformed into an Eerie One and reached Mu You, who accepted her contract to double his Deviation Value recovery and limit despite its dangerous cost. With her help blocking Ju Snake’s mental attack, Mu You regained control of his right hand and began using the Pen of Order to repair the Fairy King’s mind.

• The Herbalist stopped his scythe when he recognized the blue Caterpillar Eerie One as the Nameless Fairy, who then enveloped Mu You while Tina explained how she had found them.
• Mu You saw that accepting the Nameless Fairy would deepen their contract and double his Deviation Value recovery rate and upper limit, so he accepted.
• Mu You experienced the Fairy Girl’s memories and learned that she had become an Eerie One after centuries of suffering and her fear of being abandoned.
• The Fairy Girl blocked Ju Snake’s mental attack, and Mu You’s Deviation Value began falling, though the contract caused him to lose health continuously.
• Mu You summoned the Qilin Arm, took up the Pen of Order, and began repairing the Fairy King to purge Ju Snake’s influence.

Mu You’s intervention briefly restored the Fairy King, but Ju Snake’s influence drove him to force Tina into becoming the jailer. The Night Watchman took Ju Snake’s will into himself to save her, and settled into his new imprisonment by falling asleep, which quieted the snakes.

• Mu You used the Pen of Order to restore the Fairy King’s awareness, but the Fairy King could not suppress Ju Snake because its influence kept invading his thoughts.
• The Fairy King tried to transfer Ju Snake’s will to Tina and dragged her into the barrier, but the Night Watchman rushed in and took the red arcs meant for her.
• The Herbalist pulled the Fairy King from the barrier and killed him, while the Night Watchman absorbed Ju Snake’s arcs and sent the unconscious Tina back outside.
• The Night Watchman accepted that he would serve as jailer for four thousand years, and the Herbalist said he would obtain the Sky City blueprints himself.
• Ju Snake tried to exploit the Night Watchman’s desires, but found that his strongest wish was to slack off; the Night Watchman fell asleep, causing the snakes and Ju Snake’s eyes to vanish.

Mu You calmed the corrupted Fairy Girl by giving her the name Mu Lan, Order Keeper, but the Poison of Chaos then severed his connection to his game character and left it trapped in the past. After learning from the Administrators about the Herbalist’s role in obtaining a Save Device, Mu You planned to visit the Bitter Garden to retrieve his character and clones.

• Mu You gave the worm an Epic Grade Sweet Potion, shrinking it and reducing its attack, then used the Pen of Order to rename the Nameless Fairy Mu Lan, Order Keeper, restoring her reason and placing her under the God of Order’s protection.
• As the five-day limit expired, the Poison of Chaos locked Mu You’s game character in place and severed his connection to it, leaving his three clones and pets in the past as well.
• Mu You landed near the Black Hole, explained to the gathered soldiers that his arrival had been a misunderstanding, and returned to Lin Family Manor.
• Mu You visited the Administrators, who confirmed that his character was missing but could not recover it, and he told them there was no need to shut down the servers.
• The Administrators revealed that the Fairy Clan had received a Shapeshifter and a Save Device from the Fools in exchange for Sky City’s structural blueprints.
• Mu You learned that the Herbalist had likely obtained the Shapeshifter and Save Device, then decided to go to the Bitter Garden to retrieve his character and clones.

Mu You returned to the Star Spirit World with Fuya and Geguwu, where they found Radiant City fallen and reunited with the dragon and fairy who had grown powerful over four thousand years. The fairy, now calling herself Mu Lan the Orderly, showed jealous hostility toward Fuya, while Mu You discovered their old contract still affected him.

• Mu You and Fuya persuaded Geguwu to open the Bitter Garden entrance and accompany them to see her teacher.
• The group arrived in Radiant City, where Fuya freed the fake Saint from her backpack and learned the city had fallen to the Lord of Calamity.

• The Fairy Girl killed an Eerie One and introduced herself as Mu Lan the Orderly, the Bitter Garden's Order Supervisor.
• Mu You felt his Health drain as the Fairy Girl grew jealous when Fuya stood close to him.

Mu You reunited with Fairy Girl, then traveled to Rose City, where its defenders attacked him despite Fairy Girl's claim that he was the prophesied Savior's Child. After Linglong and Spider Girl arrived, Mu You discovered how much they had changed during the four thousand years he had been away, while Fairy Girl's dangerous jealousy flared again.

• Fairy Girl told Mu You that the Fairies in the city had been killed to prevent them from turning into Eerie Ones, while people in other settlements were protected by a widespread Slumber Blessing.
• Mu You, Fuya, Geguwu, and Fairy Girl flew to Rose City on the Two-Headed Dragon and were met by troops who refused entry and attacked them.
• Mu You stopped the Two-Headed Dragon from retaliating and landed outside the city to wait for Linglong.
• Linglong arrived at Level 20 with a changed appearance, alongside her contracted Fairy, Isabeli, who used pollen to help her maintain her figure.
• Spider Girl, now a Level 30 Demon Spider Empress, leaped into Mu You's arms, causing his chest to burn again as Fairy Girl insisted she did not mind.

Mu You learned Linglong’s memories of the Bitter Garden’s past four thousand years and why its three nations had fought. The clones had kept the fairies alive and Ju Snake sealed, while the Herbalist’s long work in the Dark Grotto remained a mystery.

• Little Spider and the Two-Headed Dragon bristled at each other until Linglong and Mu You calmed them, and Geguwu asked after her teacher.
• Linglong persuaded Rose City’s soldiers to admit Mu You by declaring that a Fool’s gender could not be judged by appearance.
• Linglong merged with Mu You and shared four thousand years of memories, settling the Demon God’s Bone’s lust and gluttony portions.
• Mu You learned the clones had hidden the Bitter Garden after Ju Snake’s will influenced newborn fairies, and that they had fueled conflicts among three kingdoms to give the fairies purpose and protect their population.
• Mu You asked about the Herbalist’s activities in the Dark Grotto, but Linglong said she did not know what he had been doing there alone.

Mu You entered the Dark Grotto and freed his game character from its crystal prison, restoring its ability to log off. The Fairy Girl disappeared after realizing how much her devotion burdened him, while the experience she had accumulated for him raised him to level 25.

• Mu You learned from Linglong that the Herbalist had taken Shadow Fluffball and accepted a Gemini Stone to communicate with her from the Dark Grotto.
• Mu You entered the Dark Grotto with the Fairy Girl and flew along a safe route to the Night Watchman, who explained that the Ju Snake had weakened and that the Fairy Girl had preserved Mu You's character with Fairy Tears.
• Mu You discovered that the Fairy Girl had spent four thousand years protecting his character from Chaos Energy and began using the Pen of Order to unseal it.
• The Fairy Girl read Mu You's thoughts, realized he saw her devotion as a burden, and quietly left in tears.
• Mu You broke the crystal seal, allowing his character to collapse and log off, and the accumulated experience from the Fairy Girl's victories raised him to level 25.

Mu You reached Legendary Grade after using Evolution Potions, then synchronized memories with the Herbalist and learned about his centuries of Dark Grotto potion research. As Ju Snake’s seal weakened, Mu You raised and dropped the Holy Spear to pin the serpent again, while the Night Watchman and the others fought to contain it.

• Mu You drank 125 Evolution Potions, broke through the level 25 bottleneck, and advanced to Legendary Grade.
• The Herbalist shared his memories, revealing that he had reconstructed the Sweet Potion and developed Dark Grotto Potionology, including a dangerous Rejuvenation potion.
• Mu You noticed gaps in the Herbalist’s memories, including the missing Shadow Fluffball, and saw that several of the Demon God's Bone’s sins had been digested; the Herbalist then urged him to finish the delayed seal.
• Mu You and his companions began lifting the Holy Spear as Ju Snake awoke and sent swarms of venomous snakes to attack; the Night Watchman strained to keep the serpent’s eyes closing.
• Mu You raised the spear more than a hundred meters and dropped it through Ju Snake’s body, pinning the serpent to the ground.

After the group sealed Ju Snake, it triggered a riot among the fairies by revealing that the Fools had helped kill the Fairy King, while the Herbalist directed Linglong to a stockpile of Sweet Potions. Ju Snake then revealed that it had spent four thousand years secretly shedding scales to create an avatar, and most of its consciousness escaped the seal.

• The group sealed Ju Snake, but the Lamp Genie worried that its resistance had been suspiciously weak before an earthquake shook the Dark Grotto.
• Ju Snake sent the fairies an image of the Lord of Calamity killing the Fairy King, prompting riots in Rose City and leading Isabeli to leave Linglong after Linglong confirmed the story was true.
• The Herbalist told Linglong where he had hidden thousands of Sweet Potions, then warned Mu You that trouble was beginning as the Dark Grotto Beasts started attacking their cage.
• The Night Watchman illuminated the grotto, revealing hundreds of thousands of Dark Grotto Beasts pouring down toward Ju Snake instead of the group.
• The Night Watchman realized that a large portion of Ju Snake's consciousness had escaped, and Ju Snake revealed it had used its daily hour of freedom to shed scales and build an avatar over four thousand years.

The Herbalist’s hidden plan to capture Ju Snake’s escaping avatar was revealed as the Shadow Fluffball trapped it at the edge of the Barrier’s light. Mu You learned that the Herbalist had spent four thousand years pursuing Ju Snake, and the Demon God’s Bone of Greed assimilated more completely.

• Ju Snake argued that Calamity Beasts curbed overpopulation and accused intelligent races of greedily disrupting the world’s balance.
• Ju Snake’s avatar hid among the fleeing Dark Grotto Beasts, and the group struggled to locate it before it escaped into darkness.
• A giant shadow shaped like the Shadow Fluffball appeared, swallowed a Dark Grotto Beast, and caught Ju Snake’s avatar by its tail.
• The Herbalist gave Mu You the Save Device, revealing memories of his secret plan to use the Shadow Fluffball to capture Ju Snake’s avatar.
• Mu You understood the Herbalist’s four-thousand-year pursuit as true greed, and the Demon God’s Bone associated with Greed assimilated rapidly.

Mu You and his allies restrained Ju Snake’s incarnation and used the Wind Burial Cannon to destroy its body, but Ju Snake seized the Herbalist’s Qilin Arm before Mu You revealed a second stored shot. Ju Snake’s body was obliterated, leaving only its fading consciousness behind.

• Shadow Fluffball kept Ju Snake trapped within the dome of light as it fought to escape.
• Ju Snake charged at Mu You to steal the Qilin Arm, so Mu You passed the Parasitic Circuit to the Herbalist and joined the Bone Dragon, Manticore, and Shadow Fluffball in restraining it.
• The Herbalist fired the Wind Burial Cannon, which destroyed most of Ju Snake’s body but severed its connection to Shadow Fluffball.
• Ju Snake escaped the restraints, bit off the Herbalist’s arm, and took the Qilin Arm, but the Herbalist revealed that he had feigned weakness.
• Mu You released a second Wind Burial Cannon stored with Ring-shaped Void, obliterating Ju Snake’s remaining body and leaving only its consciousness.

Mu You and his companions defeated Ju Snake’s incarnation and sealed most of its consciousness inside the Night Watchman, while Shadow Fluffball recovered Ju Snake’s indestructible reverse scale. Mu You found Fairy Girl transformed by the Poison of Chaos, restored her saved state with the Save Device, and took on part of her burden as her contract partner again.

• Shadow Fluffball swallowed Ju Snake’s ashes, while the remnant of Ju Snake’s consciousness weakened and drifted toward its main body.
• The Herbalist and Lamp Genie sealed Ju Snake’s consciousness inside the Night Watchman, making its survival dependent on his and requiring regular negative emotions to sustain it.
• Shadow Fluffball spat out Ju Snake’s Reverse Scale, and Mu You realized Fairy Girl had disappeared even though his Deviation Value remained at zero.
• Mu You and his companions reached Sky City, where Linglong’s magical rain of Sweet Potion and Forgetfulness Potion temporarily halted the riots and the fairies’ transformations.
• Mu You found Fairy Girl in the Bitter Garden as a chaos-corrupted worm who had taken the Poison of Chaos from him.
• Mu You used the Save Device to restore Fairy Girl to her saved state, reestablishing their contract and becoming her partner in bearing the Poison of Chaos.

After evacuating the Bitter Garden to protect its people from Ju Snake, the Herbalist and her companions helped reunite the fairies and arrange contracts with players. As the clones prepared to leave, Tina and Isabeli stayed with their companions, while the Herbalist offered Geguwu a choice between forgetting the past to regain her youth or keeping her memories.

• The Herbalist proposed that the fairies form contracts with Fools and leave the Bitter Garden, which would become a prison for Ju Snake once it had no people to manipulate.
• Linglong, the Herbalist, and the Night Watchman evacuated the fairies and Natives to the Star Spirit World, telling the fairies they would follow a new Fairy King Royal and might cultivate another mother tree.
• Mu You told the Fairy what had happened, helped her unite the returning fairies, and asked Earth’s leaders to select players to protect and contract with them.
• Three days later, Tina chose to stay with the Night Watchman, and Isabeli reunited with Linglong after asking her to change her habits.
• The Herbalist thanked Geguwu and offered her a Save Device to erase painful memories or a Rejuvenation Potion to restore her youth without losing them; Geguwu refused to forget her years with her teacher.

Mu You retrieved his three clones from the military-controlled well, brought them back to the pet shop, and helped them register for the game. He then learned that a six-star Wetland Enchantress had become more dangerous near the Tower of Heroes, while the city lords planned to attack it despite the nine-star giant its presence could attract.

• Mu You's Night Watchman, Herbalist, and Linglong were detained by soldiers after emerging from the well, until Mu You arrived and vouched for them.
• Mu You took the clones back to the pet shop, where Linglong reunited with Mianmian and Cola and the clones successfully registered for the game.
• Linglong spent her remaining lifespan and borrowed five hundred years from the Night Watchman before heading out with Tina for dessert.
• The Night Watchman planned to buy supplies and a neighboring property so he could stay home for a year, while the Herbalist began playing the game.
• Son of Heaven told Mu You that the evolved, invisible Wetland Enchantress was hunting players near the Tower of Heroes and that the city lords planned to eliminate it.
• Mu You realized the city lords' Godskins might draw a nine-star giant to the fight, making the Enchantress expedition far more dangerous.

Mu You prepared to fight the Wetland Enchantress and intercept the Giant, while Lin Xue’s new God of Death powers offered a way to kill the flower by attacking its soul. The group settled on loot and battle plans, and Mu You headed to the Giant’s remains to attempt refining them.

• Mu You visited Dawn City, where the fairies were building statues for the God of Order and the God of Death, and learned that Lin Xue had become the God of Death’s Proxy God Walker.
• Lin Xue reported that the Wetland Enchantress had an evil value of around -500, allowing her to deal roughly 2.5 times her normal damage with God of Death abilities.
• Mu You unlocked the Order Annihilation Divine Art and traveled to the Wetland Enchantress, where he met Lin Xue, Xiao Ya, Son of Heaven, and the other City Lords.
• The group agreed to distribute loot by Godskin and assigned Lin Xue and the others to attack the Wetland Enchantress while Mu You and Son of Heaven led the Giant away.
• Mu You returned to the sandy area containing the Giant’s remains and prepared to try refining them during the distraction.

Solomon, Son of Heaven, Nine Nether, Wu Ying, and Red Sickle Girl coordinated to defeat the Wetland Enchantress while Mu You and Son of Heaven kept a nearby Giant occupied. Mu You finished refining the Giant remains and collected the loot, then fled as the enraged Giant charged after him.

• Solomon, Nine Nether, Wu Ying, and Red Sickle Girl attacked the Wetland Enchantress while the God of Creation’s support arts protected the four Giants and the support team healed them.
• Mu You used the Fog-Breaking Mirror to track a Giant, then worked with Son of Heaven to lure it back and forth away from the battle.
• The Wetland Enchantress’s regeneration prolonged the fight until Red Sickle Girl unleashed a burst that killed it by exhausting its soul rather than its health.
• Mu You used Eye of Heaven and Order Guard to delay the Giant as he continued refining the remains, but the Giant destroyed both summons and began breaking its Order Locks.
• Mu You completed the refinement, collected one God's Bone, one God's Blood, and 405 Divinity Crystals, then ran as the Giant charged toward him.

Mu You escaped the Nine-Star Giant by reaching the sea, then shared in the Wetland Enchantress’s loot and watched Lin Xue publicize the God of Death System. He set out to stop the sea’s water storage device, evaded its guardian by wearing Octopus King skin, and began turning the rusted main switch.

• Mu You used Order Annihilation to slow the pursuing giant and escaped into the sea, where the giant refused to follow.
• Mu You and the others divided the Wetland Enchantress’s loot, with Lin Xue taking Windchaser Boots and Mu You choosing a Portable Pouch and then a Dewdrop Seed.
• Lin Xue posted an explanation of the God of Death System and announced that its God Statue would arrive on Earth in two weeks.
• Mu You rowed toward the sea’s water storage device wearing clothing made from the Octopus King’s shed skin, and the creature watching him eventually let him pass.
• Mu You reached the suspended irrigation apparatus and used the Wind Qilin Arm to turn its seized metal knob, weakening the water flow.

Mu You explored the sea beneath the True World, found a Black Vortex, and was attacked by the giant octopus guarding it. After returning from the encounter, he discussed the Herbalist’s Fire God devotion and went to meet Mai, who had found an Ancient Diary about the Blood Clan Progenitor.

• Mu You tightened the leaking pipe enough to extend the time before the next tsunami to about fifty hours, and the City Lords organized exploration teams.
• Mu You swam underwater with the Octopus King's skin and discovered a Black Vortex that connected to another region.
• The giant octopus attacked Mu You near the vortex, but Wind Burial Cannon severed one of its tentacles before Mu You died and revived beneath the Green Lamp.
• Mu You learned that the severed tentacle was only a culinary ingredient, then agreed that the Herbalist could pursue the Fire God’s forging path.
• Xiao Ya told Mu You that a vampire in Eternal Night City was looking for him, and Mai revealed that she had found an Ancient Diary left by the Blood Clan Progenitor.

Mu You followed a clue in the Blood Clan Progenitor’s diary to Waterless Echo, where he found an underground palace filled with Vampire Duke remains. He used the remains to advance his Vampire skin to Duke and considered continuing to gather Primordial Blood.

• Mu You pieced together the Blood Clan Progenitor’s diary, which described Cain’s origin and pointed to a location in the No Return Great Desert.
• Mu You left Mai behind, traveled to Dawnbreak City, and identified the marked location as Waterless Echo in the Yellowstone Desert.
• Mu You used the Blood-boiling Wolf skin to locate a strong underground vampire aura, then dug into an ancient palace beneath the desert.
• Mu You discovered hundreds of Vampire Duke corpses and used the Blood Shrine to absorb enough remains for ten drops of Primordial Blood.
• Mu You advanced his Vampire skin to Vampire Duke, enhanced three talents, awakened Super Sense, and considered gathering more Primordial Blood from the mass grave.
