Chapter Summaries

Li Chuan and the Guardians of the Galaxy attacked Ego, distracting him while they searched for and reached his core. Rather than destroy the giant brain immediately, Li Chuan tried to extract Ego’s soul and will while preserving its energy and Star-Lord’s Celestial power.

• Li Chuan had Star-Lord keep Ego’s clone occupied while his Shadow Clone led the others toward Ego’s core.

• Li Chuan pressed his hands against the brain and used the Rinnegan’s Human Path ability, Soul Extraction.

After returning from the Wizarding World, Li Chuan planned to secure the Aog Group’s technology and scientists before pursuing greater strength in other Minor Worlds. He and his companions reached the Aog Group headquarters, where Li Chuan revealed that the Sovereign Empire was under the High Evolutionary’s command.

• Li Chuan let time pass normally in the Wizarding World and arranged to inspect the empire periodically while Dumbledore, Grindelwald, and Credence oversaw it.

• Li Chuan and his companions arrived at the Aog Group’s space headquarters, which Rocket described as a powerful biotechnology company led by the High Evolutionary.
• Li Chuan told Rocket and the others that the High Evolutionary had created the Sovereign Empire’s Supreme Beings and controlled the empire.

Li Chuan and the Guardians entered the Aog Group headquarters to find the High Evolutionary, then used Rocket as bait to learn he was at the Anti-world. They traveled there and arrived above a 1930s-style city inhabited by animal people.

• Star-Lord asked whether they should sneak into the Aog Group base, but Li Chuan said they would enter openly.

• After three days, Li Chuan and the others arrived at the Anti-world and saw a city resembling 1930s New York, populated by animal people.

Li Chuan and the Guardians attacked the High Evolutionary’s base so Rocket could avenge his friends. Li Chuan killed the High Evolutionary, and the completed side mission increased his Minor World time to three and a half years.

• Rocket opened fire on the High Evolutionary, who blocked the shots with telekinesis and summoned modified creatures and Sovereign ships to attack the group.

Li Chuan left the Anti-world under a Shadow Clone’s supervision, then traveled to Xandar to collect the upgraded Dark Aster. He headed back to Earth with Wanda and Star-Lord, and a new main quest appeared as the planet came into view.

• Li Chuan redirected the Aog Group’s research toward a Spirit Energy Converter and genetic enhancement before leaving the Anti-world with Wanda.

• Li Chuan encouraged Star-Lord to visit his grandfather, and a new main quest appeared when Earth came into view.

Li Chuan read the new main quest, which required him to help the Avengers survive and defeat Thanos’ 2014 army, then considered the implications of his timeline and the quest’s difficulty levels. He prepared to enter The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim, a world whose story he did not know, and favored the combat-focused challenges.

• Li Chuan read the main quest’s three completion levels and learned that its rewards included Skyrim identities, racial bloodlines, and Dragonborn abilities.
• Li Chuan concluded that his world was a parallel timeline created when Tony and the others traveled through time, and that his arrival had changed its development.
• Li Chuan reasoned that the Time Variance Authority had not intervened because the branch timeline had formed and diverged within an instant from its perspective.
• Li Chuan realized he did not know The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim and would lack his usual advantage of knowing a Minor World’s plot.
• Li Chuan compared the quest levels, noting that the basic objective could be completed with the Infinity Gauntlet while the harder levels required defeating Thanos’ army through his own strength.
• Li Chuan welcomed the combat-based quest because he preferred fighting to time-consuming tasks involving planning and coordination.

Li Chuan prepared to return to Earth after arranging for the Li Group and Aog Group scientists to work together aboard the new Dark Aster. He made Star-Lord captain of the Guardians of the Galaxy and departed with Wanda, leaving the others to begin a new adventure.

• Li Chuan ordered the new Dark Aster to remain outside Earth’s atmosphere and arranged for Jack, his trusted subordinates, and the Li Group’s scientists to come aboard.

• Li Chuan and Wanda left the new Dark Aster after asking the group to visit them and watch Sauron’s movements, and Star-Lord and the others soon set off on another adventure.

In April 2012, Li Chuan’s peaceful routine was interrupted when Agatha Harkness arrived at his home disguised as Lisa, Mrs. Martha’s sister, and befriended Wanda. Li Chuan sensed Agatha’s powerful dark magic and decided to deal with her early and take her Darkhold.

• Li Chuan continued cultivating, sent Shadow Clones on side missions, and kept Earth and the Wizard Empire under control through his subordinates and occasional interventions.
• Grindelwald and the old wizards improved the Killing Curse into a chaining area spell that Li Chuan named the Lightning Killing Curse.

• Li Chuan sensed the concealed dark magic in the living room and recognized its likely source as Agatha Harkness.
• Li Chuan left the cabinet space, intending to deal with Agatha and take her Darkhold.

Li Chuan exposed Agatha, disguised as Mrs. Lisa, and brought her to a remote farm, where she trapped Wanda and him in a magic-suppressing Runic Array. Li Chuan proved he could still fight without magic, but Agatha summoned monsters and bound him as the battle continued.

• Li Chuan recognized that Mrs. Lisa was Agatha and used Apparition to take her to the farm, with Wanda following.
• Agatha dropped her disguise, revealed her witch form, and surrounded the farm with a Runic Array that prevented Wanda from using Chaos Magic.
• Li Chuan used Lightning Release ninjutsu to break through Agatha's dark-energy shield, showing that the array could not stop his non-magical abilities.
• Agatha summoned monsters through five dark magic arrays, teleported behind Li Chuan, and bound him with purple magical threads.

• Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu agreed with Li Chuan, while Danzo objected that Konoha would lose prestige by ignoring Akatsuki’s earlier attack.
• Third worried that the Land of Rain’s actions could ignite the Fourth Great Ninja War, and Li Chuan argued that conflicts among the nations made war likely even without Amegakure.
• Danzo cited Root intelligence about the other villages’ military strength and agreed that the Fourth Great Ninja War was only a matter of time.

Li Chuan’s strategy helped spark a war among the great ninja nations, and he coordinated with Nagato to seize their territories quickly. The Fourth Great Ninja War began, leaving Li Chuan and Nagato to divide their targets while pursuing the tailed beasts.

• Li Chuan convinced Danzo, Third, Mitakado Homura, and Utatane Koharu to let the Rain Ninja provoke conflict while Konoha prepared to defend itself.
