The Last Fallen Moon[]
When Riley Oh, Hattie Oh, Dahl, and Bob are arrested, he lets them out of their cell for a meal. Dahl and Bob bow as the mayor unlocks the cell and offers them food in a banquet hall. As they walk, Riley informs Yeomra about her friends getting arrested and he agrees to look into it. They arrive at the banquet hall, but then the mayor opens the doors, they a forest. Yeomra reveals he had Gumiho and Tokki witches create this room and, after telling them everything they see is edible, they eat. When they have their fill, Riley asks about her friends, but Yeomra says they authorities insist only the four of them were arrested. When Riley asks about reincarnation being stopped, Yeomra becomes flustered and the others press the mayor of details. He eventually reveals that he had no knowledge of this as he was away on vacation. He also reveals he restructured the Spiritrealm to have Jiok residence get a taste of Cheondang and to make souls want to stay rather then be reborn. Riley senses he doubts himself as a leader as he feels souls being reborn are a sign of him failing as a leader. After he insists he has no idea how the pollution in the river came to be, Riley shows him the memory book and says he can make things right. Yeomra puts the book in a venus fly trap and they view Jangsoo's memories. After he is a distance away from the statue, Hattie notices a flash by the chalice and the mayor has the memory enlarged for them to see. Once they rewind they find their culprits, and are shocked to learn they are the CFOs and the Mountain Tiger Goddess.
They watch as the goddess pulls a snake from her arm and the judges pound the chalice with their gavels. The scene ends and everyone takes in what they saw. Hattie realizes the Gom who cursed their house were wearing tiger masks and Riley questions if she was behind it. Areum informs them the snake is a salmosa, a poisonous snake created by the Mountain Tiger Goddess. As they wonder how to remove it, Yeomra informs them the judges have sentenced the salmosa and it cannot be removed, and even if they use the gavels to end the sentence only the goddess or Mago can remove it. Yeomra sends the authorizes after the CFOs and plans to expunge them. After Dahl mentions his stone, Riley realizes the can use the eum and yang stone to purify the water without removing the salmosa. Yeomra is impressed with her plan and, pulling out a marker, agrees take them to Eternity Island to meet with Bada. The others stare at the mayor in confusion as he uses the marker to draw a door to Yonggung, the Underwater Borough, can calls the pen a mum-pen. Yeomra explains that by entering the borough through the door he created, they can breath underwater and will not be affected by the toxins. They ask around Yonggang until they receive word that Bada is at the center of the borough and go to her. After Bada explains how helpful the stone is, Dahl explains everything they learned and their plan and Bada agrees to give the stone back, but her brother Daeyang refuses to let her and tells Yeomra off for ignoring Yonggung for six hundred years. Soon Hattie steps in and says she understands their anger but they need to put it aside for the greater good. As Hattie talks, lightning appears above them. Upon seeing this, Daeyang agrees to hand over the stone just as the mayor gets a call. He urgently informs the others that the CFOs, aware that he would sent the authorities after them, stole the Jokbo and took hostages, threatening to expunge them if he does not come to the chalice.
The group reaches Eternity Island and find five of the CFOs standing before them with hostages guarded by police and imugi. Riley tries to tell the CFOs the goddess is tricking them, but they reveal they summoned her voice their displeasure with Yeomra's changes and demand he step down. He quickly agrees but Riley stops him, however the CFOs say if Yeomra does not step down, they will expunge Emmett, David, and Jennie, who are out cold on the statue’s head. Riley and Hattie are shocked and before they know it, the protesters spring into action. They use a potion to turn the police and imugi into wooden toys and a Miru protester grabs the CFOs and force them to took into a Gumiho enchanted mirror that keeps people's gaze looked on their reflection depending on their egos. Areum transforms as he tells Riley to purify the spring as the others find the jokbo.
After the jokbo is secured, Yeomra thinks of a fitting punishment for the CFOs and Yeowu gives the mayor Pash's gavel and he ‘accidentally’ taps Riley's forehead, freeing her from her sentence. Bada and Daeyang arrive soon after he gives out thanks to those who helped him. Yeomra promises the ineo siblings that he will not ignore Yonggung anymore, promises Bob be will be the first soul to be reborn, grants Areum access to the Spiritrealm whenever she wishes, gives Dahl his mum-pen, gives Riley her memory book, and grants Hattie a wish. Hattie expresses her desire to stay in the Spiritrealm and Riley tries to talk her sister out of it. Hattie explains that something happened in her body when she was in the Godrealm and she has to stay to find answers. Hattie says their parents and Noah will understand. Cheol agrees to watch over Hattie, who decides to fill in as the CFO of the Hungry Beasts Petting Zoo and Café, which the mayor agrees to. An old woman appears and informs them that all members of the gifted community have lost their magic. He realizes the goddesses did this as Riley realizes they did it in retaliation for the Cave Bear Goddess’s death. Yeomra offers Riley an alliance between the Spiritrealm and the Mortalrealm, which she accepts. Dahl sends the mayor back to his office.
The Last Fallen Realm[]
As Hattie's family theorizes that the strange events in Las Vegas is the goddesses first move, he and Hattie call to inform them the mayor thinks that Riley’s traveling between realms is the cause of it. As Riley blames herself and the others reassure her she is not responsible, the mayor says that the Godrealm has started seeping into the Mortalrealm and will soon seep into the Spiritrealm. Hattie reveals she has been having a dream about a dragon emerging from the Trevi Fountain and thinks it is Yongwang, the leader of the underwater borough of the Spiritrealm who has been missing from centuries. After Hattie mentions she rises from the water, her parents interpret this as a sigh that her body will wake up. Dahl finds a replica of the fountain at Caesar’s Palace and suggests they go there.
Later, Riley calls Hattie and show her and the mayor the egg. Yeomra says that Yongwang has a tendency to change into an egg to hide and rest. Hattie sends Nanjoon to the Mortalrealm to inspect it. The imugi licks the egg before laying on it. Soon the egg hatches and an injured woman appears. Everyone is confused until Hattie recognizes her as the Water Dragon Goddess. As everyone watches in disbelief, the Water Dragon Goddess says she took the form of Yongwang to get away from her sisters by using unguarded water routes that connected the three realms. She rakes out a fidget spinner and the group realizes it is Mago's Fire. As the goddess clutches her bleeding side, Riley gives her her sweater to apply pressure to the wound. The Water Dragon Goddess explains that she took the fire so that that her sisters would not use it to destroy the three realms and create one large realm in its place for them to govern. Dahl realizes that he and Riley are meant to use the fire to unlock their true potential. But before the spirit twins can take it, the Nine-Tailed Fox Goddess arrives to claiming for herself and her remaining loyal sisters. Riley realizes she has seen the Nine-Tailed Fox Goddess several times that day and that she used them to find the fire fire her. After Riley realizes the Nine-Tailed Fox Goddess was the bonghwang she stabbed, the enemy goddess grabs the fire and the key of keys before fleeing.
After arriving at Persimmon in the Godrealm, he runs into Dahl who returns the mum-pen as he considers it too dangerous to use. As the Three-Legged Crow Goddess tries to abduct Dahl, Riley, and Mago's Fire, he tries to save them but only saves Riley before goddesses retreat and everyone questions where they took Dahl. He and the others watch as Emmett and Riley kiss and after, discuss where the ceremony is.
As everyone thinks of ways to track Dahl, Riley looks at her soul twin’s phone and hears his voice. He tells her he thinks he is outside and smells of acacia. Riley relays this information to the others before Dahl backtracks and tells her not to come before ending their conversation. Using what Dahl said, they deduce that he is at Mount Baekdu and, as Riley looks at Dahl phone, she realizes he is at the Luxor Hotel. Sahm heads back to Persimmon as the others head back to Las Vegas. As they sore over the city, they see that the realms are close to merging and, as they reach their destination, find that the mountain and hotel have merged as well. They strategize before Riley lies that she knows how to activate her and Dahl's true potential. As they creep up on the goddesses, Riley heads a conversation she thinks is familiar and they strike. However the goddesses are unfazed and describe what they need to create the Megarealm as similar to driving a car, comparing the key to a car key and the fire to a car. Upon saying they need a special soul to power it, Riley realizes it is a trap and the goddesses merge the key and fire before throwing it to the mayor, betraying them and siding with the goddesses. As Yeomra charges at Riley, her Allie’s try to save her before Dahl shields her with his body and is stabbed in the chest. Dahl falls lifelessly to the ground as Taeyo begs him to be alright as Hattie desperately tries to heal him. Emmett comforts Riley as Yeomra says it is hopeless and that Dahl's soul is in the key of keys. Riley soon realizes the mayor has been working for the goddesses for as long as she has known him and that he knew the CFOs were disgruntled and pinned the blame of the Salmosa poisoning on them. As well as giving Dahl his mum-pen to purposefully weaken the barrier between the realms. They mayor says he sided with them to maintain his grip on power in the Megarealm and Riley realizes the tournament was a sham. When the goddesses get impatient, the mayor stabs the blood soaked key in the Tree of Life and starts the merging as the tree bleeds and screams. The goddesses bind Riley’s companions in webbing as the Mountain Tiger Goddess pins Riley down and mocks her. Boris, who is resting against the side of the walkway, transforms into a dragon. He knocks the key out of the mayor’s hand and tries to attack the goddesses before getting stuck in the webbing. Riley threatens to kill Yeomra as the mayor calls her bluff. The ground swallows up Riley’s companions as she drops the keys and backs up into Dahl. She watches and sobs as her twin falls into the fissure before the mayor pushes her in. However, she is saved by the Haetae.
As he and the goddesses try to calm a mob of citizens from the Godrealm and Spiritrealm, Riley and the Haetae arrive and he hides from the beast. Riley demands the key and he runs. Dahl, who became the moon upon death, summons a tidal wave, along with Bada and Daeyang, to attack him. Yeomra drops the key, but the Three-Legged Crow Goddess picks it up before Riley can.
After the goddesses lure Riley into a trap in a theater, Namjoon, Boris, Hattie, Emmett, James, Eunha, Taeyo, Cosette, Noah, Jennie, Sahm, Charles, Maru, Okja, Sora, Austin, Emmett, the Haetae- with the mayor in its jaws, Phoebe, and two other members of RilOh arrive. As the goddesses are distracted, Riley destroys the key and gives a piece of Mago's Fire to everyone, including the goddesses, who revert to infant animals. As everyone takes in their victory, Emmett suggests the Yeomra be made a janitor as the mayor pleads for death instead. He is sentence to toilet cleaning duty at H-Mart for eternity with Hattie succeeding him.
