Chapter Summaries

Youman turned the Tribal Chief against Sescia by invoking an earlier outsider’s intrusion into Moon Lake, while Sescia failed to secure Muro’s return. After the Chief ordered a heavy guard around the Seventh Floor, Mu You and Sky Wolf learned that parasites had infiltrated the tribe, and Mu You asked to jump into Moon Lake.

• Youman persuaded the Tribal Chief that Mu You was a danger to Moon Lake, and the Chief dismissed Sescia while promising to bring Muro back after the Moon Festival Ceremony.
• A messenger reported that Sky Wolf had escaped prison and a jailer was missing; Youman urged a kill order, but the Tribal Chief refused and instead ordered more patrols around the Seventh Floor.
• Mu You and Sky Wolf saw the expanded cordon, and Ava reported that at least ten high-ranking residents were confirmed parasites, with over four hundred likely on the Seventh Floor.
• Sky Wolf abandoned the idea of assassinating the identified parasites after Ava warned that there were too many of them.
• Mu You told Sky Wolf that he wanted to jump into Moon Lake, startling him.

Mu You decided to enter Moon Lake and become the Child of the Moon Sacrifice, believing the role could give him authority to rally the Wildmen against the parasites. With Sky Wolf and the Wind Qilin’s help, Mu You began a plan to slip past the festival’s heavy defenses, and two figures made it into the seventh floor’s interior.

• Mu You explained to Sky Wolf that they needed an authority stronger than the Tribal Chief’s, and argued that the Child of the Moon Sacrifice could give them a chance to reach the Wildmen.
• Sky Wolf agreed to help Mu You approach Moon Lake, and Mu You sensed that the Pocket Watch was urging him to enter its depths.
• Mu You and Sky Wolf found no gaps in the patrols, but a breeze led them to Muro, who said the Wind Qilin had guided him through Jie Forest.
• During the Moon Festival, Muro fooled a sentinel by claiming the Tribal Chief and three Elders had sent him to reinforce the outer area.
• After the sentinel disappeared, two dark figures raced through the foliage and slipped into the seventh floor’s interior.

During the Moon Festival, Mu You and his allies forced their way past the wildmen to reach Moon Lake. Mu You plunged into the lake and was completely dissolved before he had sunk ten meters.

• Youman sent three reserve living sacrifices to intercept Mu You, and Mu You used the Eternal Spinning Top and Qilin Arm to halt and injure them.
• Mu You reached Moon Lake and jumped in, where the water rapidly dissolved his clothes, body, and bones.

After Mu You vanished in Moon Lake, Sky Wolf realized that parasites had occupied every living-sacrifice place for three hundred years and tried to expose the truth before he and Muro were rescued by Sescia. Beneath the lake, Mu You met the Mechanic, learned about the Crimson Sky armor and the Mechanic’s long wait, and heard a world-shattering secret that he would later forget until the right moment.

• The Tribal Chief ordered Sky Wolf seized, but a hidden attacker tried to kill him before Muro intervened and pulled him to safety.
• Sky Wolf told the Tribal Chief that parasites had taken every living-sacrifice place for three hundred years, but a poisoned bolt struck the Chief and the crowd attacked Sky Wolf and Muro.
• Sescia enveloped the attackers in Evil Gallbladder Flower poison and rescued Sky Wolf and Muro, while the Tribal Chief collapsed from the bolt’s poison.
• Mu You’s consciousness reached the lakebed as a blue butterfly and met the Mechanic, who explained that their bodies had perished and revealed the completed, human-sized Crimson Sky armor and its stored designs.
• The Mechanic told Mu You that the world’s truth could only be shared beyond divinity’s reach and would be hidden from his memory until a future moment, then began explaining it.

Mu You awoke at the bottom of Moon Lake after experiencing the life of the planet through the Eye of the Moon, and his body was restored by blue butterflies. As Youman tried to seize control of the tribe and send another sacrifice into the lake, Mu You emerged in Battle Armor, and the wildmen recognized him as the Child of the Moon Sacrifice.

• Mu You burst from Moon Lake in Battle Armor, knocked the sacrifice away, and was proclaimed the Child of the Moon Sacrifice.

Mu You emerged from Moon Lake in a restored body and battle suit, discovering that the Moon Butterfly inside him let him see and expel the butterflies of other creatures. After he demonstrated the Former King’s Moon’s Judgement and killed five parasite hosts, the Wildmen accepted him as the Child of the Moon Sacrifice, while Youman’s opposition faltered.

• Mu You emerged from the lake in his restored body and used his battle suit to kick away a Wildman who tried to jump in.
• Mu You saw that his own Moon Butterfly let him detect abnormal butterflies inside parasite hosts and suspected he could control them by touch.

• Youman ordered the remaining parasite hosts to kill Mu You, but Mu You struck down four more attackers as he moved toward Sky Wolf.

Mu You exposed the Wildmen hosts, captured Youman, and won the tribe’s trust by explaining how they had misunderstood the Former King’s warning. After a mass inspection uncovered more than 120,000 hosts, Mu You returned to Moon Lake and learned that Mechanic was almost certainly dead, though the Crimson Sky Battle Armor held over a thousand design pages.

• Youman fled toward the forest boundary, where Muro, Sescia, and the rescued Tribal Chief stopped him; Sescia poisoned him and Muro captured him.

• Ava judged Mechanic’s blueprints mostly worthless, but crafted five Ring Garments that protected their wearers from ordinary Parasitic Beasts.
• After three rounds of screening ended the Wildmen’s immediate parasitism crisis, Mu You took a thousand sentinels east to reinforce his clones at a God-Eater Beast base.

• The Wildmen gathered the remains and evidence while Mu You waited for Night Watchman, who reported that Desolation Crow had covered the beasts’ retreat and that Little Eight urgently wanted to speak with Mu You in Star Spirit World.

After recovering his strength in the Star Spirit World, Mu You learned that the God of Chaos was controlling Desolation Crow and agreed to work with Ju Snake. They negotiated a contract that bound Ju Snake to help humanity and placed its true body within the Night Watchman, then moved to free it from the Dark Grotto.

• Mu You and the Night Watchman reached Ju Snake's true body in the Dark Grotto and established the contract, after which Mu You summoned the Qilin Arm and reached for the Holy Spear.

Mu You freed Ju Snake from its seal, and Ju Snake agreed to help fight the God-Eater Beasts while setting out with the Night Watchman to find Mirage Tapir. Back on Earth, Mu You heard about Lin Xue’s unusual Divine Authority and learned from the Administrators that someone had found World-Creation Mountain and was trying to open its entrance.

• Mu You pulled the Holy Spear from Ju Snake, freeing the Calamity Beast, which promised to help fight the God-Eater Beasts and seek out Mirage Tapir with the Night Watchman.
• Mu You gave the Night Watchman a Gemini Stone Disc and Ring Garment, then took the Holy Spear and decided to have the Herbalist make Qilin Gloves so he could wield it with both hands.
• Mu You returned to Earth and found Lin Xue watching over the sleeping Mianmian; Lin Xue told him she had sensed Red Sleeve’s God of Death aura through a game notification.
• Lin Xue explained that her Sewing Divine Authority could fuse Divine Bones directly into her system, though exceeding her limit could cause irreversible mental instability.
• The Administrators summoned Mu You and revealed that the disturbance in World-Creation Mountain meant someone had found it and was trying to open its entrance.

Mu You and Lin Xue learned that Zuo Qiu had summoned them to meet at World-Creation Mountain, and that he opposed the Heaven-Mending Plan in favor of resurrecting the First Generation Fools. After a two-week journey tracking Red Sleeve’s shifting aura, they found her, and she demanded that Lin Xue discard all the Stitched Beast remains before leading them onward.

• The Administrators told Mu You that Zuo Qiu had found World-Creation Mountain and wanted Mu You to come alone or with one companion, and they explained his plan to resurrect the First Generation Fools.
• Mu You and Lin Xue agreed to meet Zuo Qiu, made preparations in the High Heaven World, and traveled by Magic Carpet while Lin Xue tracked Red Sleeve’s changing aura.
• After two weeks, Mu You and Lin Xue reached a rocky ravine, where Red Sleeve emerged from a boulder and confirmed that only the two of them had come.
• Red Sleeve detected the Stitched Beast remains Lin Xue carried and demanded she discard every package before agreeing to lead them onward.

Mu You and Lin Xue followed Red Sleeve to Zuo Qiu, who tried to seize the God of Death's power by trapping them in the Stillness Realm. Mu You resisted the time-based attacks and challenged Zuo Qiu's assumption that he could survive ten seconds against him.

• Red Sleeve led Mu You and Lin Xue through a teleportation vortex to a rocky desert, where they met Zuo Qiu, a little boy who claimed he would take them to World-Creation Mountain.
• Zuo Qiu froze the world with the Stillness Realm and ordered Red Sleeve to reclaim the God of Death's power from Lin Xue while he dealt with Mu You.
• Mu You moved within the Stillness Realm and attacked; Red Sleeve rescued Zuo Qiu, and the pair briefly vanished before reappearing in the same positions.
• Zuo Qiu tested Mu You with time-shielded rubble and concluded that Mu You's Divine Artifact could resist the Stillness Realm only within a limited range and had a cooldown.
• Zuo Qiu proposed keeping Mu You trapped through repeated Stillness Realms, but Mu You questioned whether Zuo Qiu could survive ten seconds against him.

Mu You subdued the boy and learned that World-Creation Mountain could resurrect the first-generation Fools only by sacrificing vast numbers of ordinary people. After the mountain appeared at night, Mu You and the others prepared to enter it, leaving the Time Divine Corpse’s location unresolved.

• Mu You caught the boy as he reappeared from erased time, restrained him with heavenly dao power, and stopped him from activating the stillness realm.

• The boy placed the Stillness Realm Anchor, 10 stars, on the altar, shattering it and claiming history would be rewritten.

Mu You and the little boy were swept away by a Space-Time Storm inside World-Creation Mountain, leaving Ava to explain their disappearance to Lin Xue and Red Sleeve. After the mountain vanished, Lin Xue and Red Sleeve fought, and Lin Xue used deliberately complex thoughts and anatomical knowledge to bypass Red Sleeve’s mind-reading and wound her.

• The shattered cube casing bound Mu You in place as the Space-Time Storm consumed him and the little boy, then Ava was ejected from the vanished World-Creation Mountain.
• Red Sleeve and Lin Xue questioned each other about Mu You until Ava explained that he and the boy had likely traveled to another point in time.

They found the Dawn City Lord, who revealed that Zuo Qiu had completed his mission by bringing Mu You to him, and that the Fools planned to stake their hopes on the future.

Mu You learned that the First-Generation Fools had arranged for him to gain the power needed to oppose the God of Chaos and kill the God-Eater Beasts' Mother. As the stillness realm destabilized, he left with the unconscious Zuo Qiu, bound for his own era.

• The First Generation Leader explained that Yegor had created the Time Pocket Watch to find a future Fool suited to wielding past divine authority, and that Mu You had been chosen.
• The leader told Zuo Qiu that his mission had been to confirm the Fools' plan, not resurrect their ancestors, leaving the boy devastated when he learned the truth.
• The leader revealed that the God-Eater Beasts' Mother could be killed at the Creation Stone Disk, and that the God of Chaos would trigger the world's extermination measures if he defeated someone wielding Heavenly Dao power and reached 15 stars.
• Zuo Qiu rejected the leader's explanation and tried to find his teacher, so Mu You knocked him unconscious and carried him back.
• As the stillness realm grew unstable, the leader told Mu You to return to World-Creation Mountain and advised him to visit the Heart of Time; Mu You departed with Zuo Qiu.

Mu You and Lin Xue returned from the Stillness Realm with the boy, but Red Sleeve killed him to avenge his deception and then died from the blood contract’s backlash.

Vivian revealed that it lay in the Dream World, and Mu You and his companions entered the Forest Elves’ dream sanctuary to begin their search.

• Mu You told the Administrators about World-Creation Mountain and the leaders’ hidden preparations, and they decided to prioritize confronting the God of Chaos while Mu You improved his strength.
