Later after 2 weeks, MC takes down people who are harassing "Henova" and beat up the underground organisation 'Night Watch' and made them compensate "Henova". Later one day when MC is learning metallurgy ''Fant'' and ''Edora'' comes to meet him. Then later "Naon Raham" from 'Red west wind' came to recruit MC then others too but MC reject them all, then 'vahal of the fire fist' <one of the red dragon's greatest executives><former member of artia><Henova's Disciple> visits him to recruit but reject him too.

MC starts to climb the Tower, and the first-floor trial is hosted by "Aaron" MC enters it intending to complete it and also get 'Hera's Key' and MC does it using his overwhelming power. Then enter the 2nd floor and met "Johannes" the host of the 2nd floor then enter the trail and complete it and get the 'Demeter's Key'.Within 12 hours and 28 minutes MC reach the 8th floor then on the 9th floor he gets 'Hephaestus Key' later on the 10th floor he gets rewards 'Ice ring', 'skull crest' and 'Hades' Key'.MC breaks his brother's record and as he collected all the 12 keys and keys combined into the 'Olympus' key' and used it to enter the treasury there when he touches the 'Astrape' of Zeus it breaks down on its own and attaches to the bracelet in MCs hand and changes to wrist armour named 'the pitch black king's despair'.And also get 'Athena's aegis' as a cumulative reward for completion from 1 to 10.

At the entrance to the 11th floor, MC met 'Laplas' the host there he gets the egg of a fantastical beast which MC has to hatch to complete the 11th floor. So as a part of hatching to give an attribute to the egg MC goes to the phoenix's den to get a 'spark of life'.MC who got the favour of Phoenix by securing its egg give a quest to get the materials for using the 'spark of life'.MC also use the bracelet to make the ghost subordinate, by this time 'Red Dragon' declare war against 'Blue Flower Island'. Then MC named the youngest child which he saved as per the request of Phoenix "Chirpie" which led to a contract with "Chirpie" which in turn increased the succession rate from 99.1% to 99.5%.MC trains his ghost subordinates and rains himself using the 'Athena's aegis'. After getting ready MC goes hunting to get the ingredients and as MC clears out all the materials on the 11th floor it causes public outrage. Later kills players from the 'Behemoth clan' which is the Blue Flower Island's informant when they try to kill him for clearing out the materials and the informant who gave his coordinates. Then using these materials and part of the soul, Phoenix makes a 'high level-spark of life' and is used on his 'egg' which causes it grows into a huge egg instead of hatching as there is no 'cause' so phoenix tells it may be because MC have no dream of his own only have goals so he decides to give the egg even more materials till it has no other choice but to hatch. 

MC goes to the 'single horned tribe' with the messenger from 'single horned tribe' "Yanu" to meet 'Edora' to find a solution. 'martial king nayu' promise to give 'Seed of the moon' which helps the egg to hatch and in turn have to participate with 'single horned tribe' for helping Blue Flower Island defeat Red Dragon and MC agrees to this . 'single horned tribe' always stayed neutral but as the 'spear Martial God' of Blue Flower Island who is from 'single horned tribe' offered his 'horn' in return for helping out, so they are participating for the first time in history. Later MC defeat "chang" of the white celestial family which is one of the 51 families of 'single horned tribe' to showcase his power to the 'single horned tribe' and then requests martial king nayu' to learn martial arts and he gets full access to the bronze class martial library on a condition that he has to get enlightenment from martial arts without the help of anyone within 4 days. While learning MC acquire the nature 'Energist', the title 'pioneer' and 'one blessed by mana', skill 'qigong' and as he get enlightenment his succession rate increased from 99.5% to 99.7%.MC completes the task by creating a high-level martial arts 'thousand wing qigong' and as a reward for that 'martial king nayu' give MC the martial arts text 'eight extremes fist' and the right to the 'Lunar sword'.

Just before the 'single horned tribe' going to participate in attacking the city 'kuram' 'martial king nayu' teaches MC the first and second move of the 'eight extremes fist' and MC learn it easily by using 'dragon eye's to analyse it, thus he learns the upper part of 'eight extremes fist'. So so has to try it out 'martial king nayu' helps him by destroying the city 'kuram' and kidnapped the semi ranker "Shannon" who is the captain of the 8th unit of white draconian which is the subsidiary of the red dragon for fighting MC and MC defeat him.

Later when is meditating MC realise that "Chirpie" is in danger so he went there only to see that Phonix is dead and realise that it is the Knife martial God that killed them. Pheonix thought that remained there tells MC to take care of "Chirpie" and in return gives MC inheritance of 'the spark of life [essence]' which gives MC the title 'Phoenix's successor', mastery of skill 'Blaze' reaches 100% thus changes to higher skill 'craze' which evolves into the skill 'sacred fire [numbe 050]' and his succession rate increased from 99.7% to 99.8%. MC goes to help the other 3 sacred beasts with the request of "Chirpie" only to see that both the 'nihilist dragon' and 'Abyss turtle' is already slayed but they give MC their blessing. 'nihilist dragon' give 'the nihilist dragon's favor', 'the nihilist dragon's divine protection', the title 'the nihilist dragon's contactor', and a quest to defeat the enemy and the 'Abyss turtle' give 'the Abyss turtle's divine protection', a quest to find the successor, the title 'Abyss turtle's proxv', the skill 'Blue spirit's divine protection [temporay]'. Even though Saber tiger didn't at the time but later die as he did not take the MCs advice and as prideful tiger didn't give the inheritance MC used 'Bathory's vampiric Dagger' to suck the life force and vitality of tiger which increase his succession rate from 99.8% to 99.9% and get the title 'saber tiger plunderer'. All these titles of 4 sacred beasts combined to form 'sacred beast successor'. MC give the ghost marble to "Chirpie" and it evolves which is taken as the end of his trial on the 11th floor.

MC goes to meet the 'martial king' to tell him that he is withdrawing from the battle and the 'martial king' agrees to it and gives the remaining middle and lower volumes of 'eight extremes fist'. Mc along with ''Fant'' and ''Edora'' goes to the Red Dragon to see "Vahal" and to join and as a gift, MC also bring the layout of Blue flower Island's camp. MC join as captain of the foreign legion's second unit and fant trains the subordinates. later MC gets ready to go to the 16th floor to capture the knife martial god's son who is hiding in the ''Temple of 3 sitting Goddesses'. On the 12th floor, MC orders the subordinates to collect 'jewels' of fire' and other materials to give to "Chirpie" and his demons and before he goes to the 13th floor the host 'Laplas' appears and delivers a message from one of the devils residing in the top of the Tower that- "Among the 3 sitting Godeses, Beware of the eldest". Then MC completes the trails from 13 to 15 and enters the 16th floor: the passage of the wheel of life, in there MC collects the materials Jewel of fire, Ice crystals, and Frost Roses from the subordinates and then goes to the Skuls's Temple (1 of the 3 temples) and beat the temples people and capture the son of knife martial god "Hanbin" and give it to "Vahal" who use him to threaten Knife martial God to get stone from Riant.

To emotionally traumatize and to make sense of urgency to get the stone  "Vahal" send Knife Martial God's sons 1 finger and 1 eye one after another. This led to the Knife martial God fighting "Riant" but the sword martial god tries to resolve it but couldn't as Knife martial God gathers all his trusted subordinates to fight sword martial god and Riant. In the end, the sword martial god with overwhelming power defeats the knife martial god who used the 'Blood droplet orb' to strengthen and before he dies he sends the orb which is the combination of the orbs of 4 sacred beasts to a coordinate which is mentioned in the letter sent by "Vahal".During this time, Red Dragon with the lead of the summer queen gets ready to enter the portal to the base of Blue Flower Island. 

Meanwhile, when these are happening, MC uses part of the materials he gathered to evolve voo[the voodooist's soul] into a sane lich who can use his new and past-before-death skills and MC gets the title 'one who leads death' also MC make semi ranker "Shannon" who he killed into his demon subordinate and evolve it into a Death Knight. 

Red Dragon with the lead of the summer queen exit the portal to the base of Blue Flower Island.  MC who exits with them senses the mana from the orb so before it gonna disappears he absorbs it and completes his succession rate from 99.9% to 100% and awakens his dragon body and gets access to the part of the locked- dragon's treasury, dragons knowledge and dragons power also his nature diamond body changes to dragon body. As the knife martial god died he completed the quest from the nihilist dragon and gets the marble of the abyss and the wrath of the nihilist dragon. Then MC goes to kill "Vahal" and "Riant", "Riant" uses the fantastical dragon's energy which is from the orb of MCs younger brother's partner dragon and 'Gungnir' borrowed from the sword martial god to fight "Vahal" but in the middle of fighting MC cuts of "Riant's" head and MC fights "Vahal" using his newly found power and kills him and kills his subordinates using MCs summons. Later devour their bodies using 'Bathory's vampiric Dagger'  and absorb the souls of "Vahal" and "Riant" using the bracelet's power
