Chapter Summaries

Mu You’s assault on Eden was interrupted when Ava traced his causal line and tried to sever his connection, while the Mechanical People launched attacks both on his body in the Abyss and on the battlefield. With Mu You repeatedly pulled away, Chun Li took control of the Black Angel and gained help from the Minotaurs and the other races, but one replica armor was missing.

• Mu You and the Herbalist destroyed four suits of Counterfeit Battle Armor, then the Herbalist entered the Central Control Room while Mu You held off the remaining suits.
• Eden traced Mu You’s causal line to a cave 7,700 meters down in the Abyss and sent Extinction Units to kill him, but Taurus crushed the four that reached his chamber.

• Chun Li prepared to fight the remaining armor replicas and noticed that the Chameleon was missing from the battlefield.

The Herbalist fought through the Mechanical People to deliver the Logic Virus to Eden’s mainframe, while Ava argued that the Fools’ plan was doomed by her calculations. The Chameleon replica intercepted the solution, and Ava revealed that she had once helped the Fools escape the great calamity era to the Land of Forgetting for her own plans.

• Living beings in Eden repeatedly resurrected and resisted the Mechanical People, but Extinction Units broke through toward the domed building as Chun Li worried about the missing Herbalist and Chameleon armor.
• The Herbalist struggled against a repulsion field and advancing Mechanical People in the main control room, while Ava told Mu You that the Fools had missed their only chances to win.
• The Herbalist used Position Swap to escape the Mechanical People’s pile and threw the Logic Virus toward the mainframe, but the hidden Chameleon replica reached out to seize it.
• Mu You challenged Ava’s predictions, and Ava explained that she had secretly opened passages through the wall so the Fools could flee to the Land of Forgetting and help develop a new world.

Mu You persuaded Ava that Fools carrying the Vaccine could bring magic power to High Heaven and improve their chances against the God-Eater Beasts, prompting Ava to bet on them again. Meanwhile, the Black Solution spread a Logic Virus through Eden’s Mechanical People, and their sudden shutdown left the living beings and players unsure whether the war was over as the Fool Game resumed.

• Ava explained the failed Land of Forgetting plan and rejected Mu You’s proposal to assimilate part of High Heaven, but Mu You argued that Fools could carry Vaccine microorganisms there and fight the God-Eater Beasts under magic-power rules.
• Ava calculated a 9.15% chance of success, then said it would bet on the Fools’ unpredictable potential despite the odds.
• In Eden’s Control Room, the Chameleon Armor hesitated as it reached for the Black Solution, causing its container to fall and shatter against the Liquid Crystal.
• The Logic Virus spread through the Mainframe and disabled the Mechanical People across Eden, leaving Chun Li and the Herbalist bewildered as the living beings realized their enemies had stopped fighting.
• The Mechanical People outside Rainbow Light City also crashed, and Son of Heaven announced that the Fool Game had resumed and players could log in again.

After the Mechanical Intelligence Crisis ended, Mu You discovered that Ava had vanished, only to learn that the Chameleon Mask contained Ava’s original self, which had engineered the crisis to evolve into a true soul. The Mother of Ava explained that it needed to assist the Fools in changing World-Creation Mountain’s rules, leaving Mu You to reckon with how recklessly it had gambled with the world’s fate.

• Yang Chunbaixue hinted that the Fools had narrowly survived a crisis, and players learned that the Mechanical People’s blockade had ended without discovering exactly how the crisis was resolved.
• Mu You found the Mechanical People inactive in Eden and learned from the Herbalist that a Logic Virus had disabled them after the Chameleon Mask stopped the replica armor from intercepting it.
• Mu You put the Chameleon Mask on the Black Angel and discovered that the voice within it was the original Ava, while the Ava he had spoken to was a duplicate called Despair Ava.
• The Mother of Ava explained that it had staged an extreme conflict with Despair Ava so that it could develop the spirit needed to become a true soul.
• The Mother of Ava revealed that it had planned for thirteen hundred years to help the Fools alter World-Creation Mountain’s program, since they would need a mechanical intelligence to understand its rules.
• Mu You learned that the Mother of Ava had surrendered its authority and risked being killed by Despair Ava, treating itself and the world as stakes in its evolution.

Mu You learned how Ava planned to turn the Mechanical People into vaccines and prepare the Fools to spread Magic Power through High Heaven. After arranging vaccine distribution and examining the Primordial Battle Armor blueprints, he learned that two of the twelve suits had been lost with their creator, Mechanic.

• Ava explained that Despair Ava had willingly ceased functioning after completing the Watchers’ mission, then agreed to eliminate the Logic Virus and recover the vaccines.
• Mu You placed the helmet against the liquid crystal, and Ava restored it while Mechanical People across Eden and near Rainbow Light City resumed functioning and headed for the Hibernation Zone.
• The Watchers announced their cooperation with humanity, and players received a quest to rescue Mechanical People trapped in Mirage Qi for future vaccines.

• Ava showed Mu You the blueprints for twelve Primordial Battle Armor suits and explained that the two missing suits had been taken away by Mechanic and may have been lost during the Extinction War.

• Mu You and the City Lords established Vaccine eligibility rules, and Mu You left candidate selection to Lin Xue while he descended into the Abyss with Ava.
• Mu You took a Crystal Core from an Eden pollution-discharge device and helped Ava recover Taurus’s ashes; Taurus forgave Ava and set out to explore the Star Spirit World.
• Chun Li told Mu You that Zhou You had agreed to train her, and Zhou You thanked Mu You for finding the Pandaren survivors; the quest for Wotu’s Last Wish was completed.
• As the Mirage Qi spread toward Eden, the Eden races hurried to board the Sky Cities, while the Minotaur Tribe, Zuma Tribe, and Stone Statue Race chose to seek their own land.
• Mu You and Son of Heaven discussed the approaching Mirage Qi and its threat to Vaccine recovery, and Mu You called the Night Watchman to deal with the Mirage Creatures in the Hero Tower.

With the Mirage Qi threatening Ava and the Star Spirit World, Mu You returned from the Abyss and heard about the Night Watchman and Linglong’s successful takeover of the Secret Art Church. He and the Night Watchman asked Ju Snake to frighten off the Mirage Tapir, but Ju Snake demanded that they free its true body first.

• Mu You learned that the Mirage Creatures were attacking the Fools and that the Mirage Qi could reach the bottom of the Abyss in about a day, threatening vaccine production.
• Linglong returned with five Forest Spirit Cores, while the Night Watchman brought blueprints for counterfeit Secret Art Crystals and explained that they required Echo Stone from the True World.

• Ju Snake agreed to confront the Mirage Tapir only if they freed its true body and restored some of its power, a proposal the Night Watchman rejected.

Mu You set out to unseal Ju Snake and stop the Mirage Tapir, while arranging for Geguwu to help his blue caterpillar evolve near the Bitter Mother Tree. At the island in the True World, the Night Watchman and the Herbalist encountered the Mirage Tapir, which fixed its enormous eye on them as the Night Watchman tried to summon Ju Snake.

• The Night Watchman judged Ju Snake’s warning credible, and Mu You decided to enter the suppression barrier while the others prepared to confront the Mirage Tapir.
• Mu You and Linglong visited Geguwu at Red Rose Academy, where she explained that the caterpillar might need the Bitter Mother Tree’s energy to transform.
• Geguwu agreed to accompany Mu You and Linglong to the Bitter Garden and help the caterpillar evolve as they carried out their plan.
• The Herbalist and the Night Watchman reached the True World through the Tower of Heroes and crossed the fog-shrouded island toward the lake.
• The two found the lake drained by the Mirage Tapir’s enormous trunk, and its eye opened and fixed on them as the Night Watchman called for Ju Snake to wake.

Mu You and Linglong began extracting the Holy Spear from Ju Snake while Mu You suppressed its consciousness, and the Night Watchman let Ju Snake take control to confront the Mirage Tapir. As Ju Snake fought to escape and Ava analyzed its power, Geguwu helped the blue caterpillar crystallize on a flowering branch.

• Linglong used the Qilin Arm to pull the Holy Spear from Ju Snake as Mu You blocked Ju Snake's mental pressure and held back the attacking snakes.
• Ju Snake awakened inside the Night Watchman, frightened the Mirage Creatures, and confronted the Mirage Tapir by pretending to need its help before revealing its full power.
• Mu You asked Ava to analyze Ju Snake's fear-inducing energy, and Ava began processing its data while Ju Snake thrashed against the barrier.
• Geguwu comforted the blue caterpillar, which crystallized again, and placed it on a flowering branch of the revived tree.

Ju Snake drove off the Mirage Tapir, allowing Mu You and Linglong to seal Ju Snake while Ava collected data to create a counterfeit fear aura.

• Mu You and Linglong returned to Earth, where the Night Watchman explained that Ju Snake's expelled Mirage Qi had condensed into a harmless tapir-like creature.

Mu You prepared Dawn City for its ascent to High Heaven, distributing vaccines and launching the city at noon with 176 million residents online. As Dawn City rose, people and leaders across the Star Spirit World watched, and Princess Salina hoped this attempt would succeed where the previous ascent had failed.

• Mu You and the Bone Dragon killed a Poison Velvet Spider, and Mu You found that equipping the Synthesis Furnace revealed a recipe for a Poison Blade.
• Over two days, Mu You and the Bone Dragon hunted twenty-eight Poison Velvet Spiders and gathered six Poison Velvet Fangs.
• Mu You synthesized the fangs and returned to Dawn City, where he upgraded Fight Alone to LV6 and advanced to three-star by offering divinity to the Order God Statue.
• Mu You learned that advancing further required converting faith and upgrading each star level’s mainline divine art, then received the completed Poison Blade, which boosted his combat stats and reduced enemies’ God's Defense with each strike.

• A gigantic bird appeared above Mu You and dived toward him.

Mu You escaped a giant bird, discovered a no-fly zone around remote peaks, and upgraded his Poison Fluff Blade before encountering a nine-star Wildman near Dawn City. The Wildman mistook him for an old friend and gave him a paper crane in exchange for a warm scarf.

• Mu You used his watch to evade the giant bird, then sent Bone Dragon to investigate where it had landed.

• The Wildman mistook Mu You for a friend, rejected his Divinity Crystals, and exchanged a Paper Crane for Mu You's Warm Scarf.

Mu You discovered that the savage was an Ancient who rewarded gifts with numbered paper cranes, then learned from the Lamp Genie about the Ancients’ history and the Crowfolk. He returned to the mountain, let the Kunpeng carry him to the Crowfolk’s peaks, and paid it 60 divinity.

• Mu You tested several gifts for the savage and learned that their value determined which of nine Paper Cranes he received, but the savage refused a second gift and left.
• The Lamp Genie explained that the Ancients had ruled the High Heaven World before the God Race rose through its affinity for Authority Stones and defeated them in war.
• The Lamp Genie identified the giant bird as a Kunpeng used by the Crowfolk for transport and suggested it had tried to take Mu You to a nearby settlement because of his divinity.
• Mu You returned to the mountain with Divinity Crystals, and the Kunpeng carried him to a clearing among the treacherous peaks while the Bone Dragon watched anxiously.
• Mu You read the Kunpeng rental rules and paid it 60 divinity for the earlier wasted trip, earning a friendlier look.

Mu You explored the Crowman Tribe and found a merchant selling Divine Art Stones and permanent stat potions. After discovering that Sparrowman Bandits had stolen nearly all his Divinity, he suspected the merchant was exploiting him and might be working with the thieves.

• Mu You lit a Soul-Guiding Lamp in the mountains and surveyed the Crowman Tribe’s chain-linked peaks and settlements.
• Mu You entered a village, read its rules for peaceful trade, and spoke with a crowman vendor who recognized him as a descendant of the Fools.
• Mu You examined the vendor’s beast materials, Divine Art Stones, and potions that permanently increased divine stats, then decided to buy Divine Power Potions.
• Mu You discovered that Sparrowman Bandits had stolen more than 2,000 Divinity, leaving only 33 Divinity Crystals in his pouch.
• The vendor explained that Sparrowmen disguised themselves as crowmen and offered Mu You a discounted Anti-Theft Pouch or a loan secured by his short blade.
• Mu You suspected the vendor was colluding with the Sparrowman Bandits.

Mu You discovered that the Crowfolk tribe appeared to be colluding with the Sparrowman Bandits to rob outsiders and force them to buy property before they could receive protection. After identifying a five-star bandit, he gathered nearby players to help intercept him.

• Mu You refused the Crowfolk vendor’s low offer for his short blade and found theft reports and a bounty for the Sparrowman Bandits posted in the village square.
• The guard captain ignored Mu You’s theft report, and a villager explained that only official residents could report crimes; the Tribal Chief demanded 20,000 Divinity for the cheapest property needed to join the tribe.
• Mu You borrowed Divinity from the Herbalist and Linglong, then used Presence to lure another thief and Rewind to identify a Crowfolk bandit who stole his pouch.
• Mu You exposed the bandit’s approach and prevented him from stealing the crystals again, then concluded he needed help to capture the five-star thief.
• Mu You contacted the Dawn City Vaccine Discussion Group and asked nearby players, including Blue-Eyes White Dragon and Lu Yao, to help cut off the bandit near Spider Forest Zone 7.

Mu You and a group of players ambushed and captured the Sparrowman Bandit, then claimed its stolen divinity and equipment. Discovering that the bandit's gloves and other gear could only be used by Sparrowmen, Mu You realized the Shapeshifting Blood Law might let him transform into one.

• Mu You unlocked the Low-Altitude Combat Divine Art and arranged for ten players to ambush the Sparrowman Bandit near the mountain summit.
• Mu You lured the bandit out of the Crowman village and waited with the hidden players until it tried to steal divinity from him.

• Mu You searched the wounded bandit, recovered 3,827 Divinity Crystals, and paid each of the ten players 100 divinity.
• Mu You examined the Sparrowman Bandit's mask, gloves, and backpack, and realized Shapeshifting could let him transform into a Sparrowman and equip them.

Mu You used pure heart blood to become a ninth-generation Vampire, learned Shapeshifting and Super Sense, and killed a Sparrowman Bandit to take its form and theft gear. Disguised as a Crowman, he stole Divinity from a vendor, spent some of it on potions and an Anti-Theft Pouch, then found that the pouch failed to stop his theft ability.
