Synopsis

The chapter introduces the concept of the 'Seven Thrones,' 'Skies,' and 'Stars,' with one of the 'Skies,' Shiyu (the God of Aging), acknowledging Jaehwan's immense potential, comparing it to that of a future 'Seven Thrones.' Meanwhile, Monarchs attack the tower and Jaehwan's allies step in to defend him so he can continue climbing. The chapter concludes with Jaehwan reflecting on the futility of the cycle within the tower and the feelings it evokes as he is urged to rescue a missing captain.
