### Summary
The central conflict has shifted from Jin Mu-Won's quest for justice to a tragic confrontation rooted in familial betrayal. It has been revealed that the grand war against the Silent Night, orchestrated by the Central Heavenly Alliance, is a lie stemming from a dispute between two brothers. One of these brothers is the malevolent entity known as "Yajoo," who has possessed the body of a young man named Danyeop. A major battle is currently underway, but its outcome is in jeopardy due to a potential tactical error by Jin Mu-Won's strategist, Ha Jin-Wol. By revealing a planned ambush by the Silent Night, the strategist may have allowed the "Nine Skies," the primary antagonists, to escape unharmed. This has created concern that the current fight will only end with the defeat of the possessed Danyeop, leaving the true masterminds unscathed and forcing Jin Mu-Won to confront them alone. The personal nature of the conflict is underscored by the greed of Yajoo's brother, who reportedly withheld an age-reversal technique, highlighting the deep-seated fraternal strife that has caused so much global suffering.
