• Li Weide invited Hufflepuff to study with him, but she hesitated because she did not want to leave her father alone.
• Li Weide accepted Hufflepuff’s decision, lifted the spells, and left her with her father.

• Toby handed Li Weide a stack of bills for the shops, leaving him to pay for his clone’s visits to brothels.

• Li Weide reassured the Death God that he was progressing well, then reflected on how he was hiding his strength by restoring his soul covering.
• Li Weide visited his laboratory and learned from the Ravenclaw Diadem that the Philosopher's Stone had stopped absorbing Life Law power despite developing life of its own.

• Li Weide took Miravia and her Little Banner through a portal to a parallel world where World War II had just ended, and the stone began to transform.
• The green outer layer broke away to reveal a scarlet Philosopher's Stone, which became a ring and then a wand as Li Weide and Miravia sensed that it was alive.

• Li Weide put Grindelwald in charge of gathering intelligence and keeping the world stable, and Grindelwald left to organize the new department.

• Miravia offered to send Li Weide to the World of the Dead if he first found more evidence to convince her.

Li Weide devised a way to search for the real Death God by traveling to different eras in Parallel Worlds and testing when the Death God would stop answering his summons. He and Miravia continued the search with Caroline, while Caroline felt awkward watching them communicate through glances.

Li Weide and his companions discovered that the real Death God was trapped in Great Hell and had been communicating through a mysterious diary. The diary entered Li Weide’s system and gave him concealment magic, while Death God’s impostor remained unaware that he had learned the truth.

• After Death God failed to answer their call, Li Weide prepared to return with Miravia and Caroline, but a mysterious diary struck him on the head.
• Li Weide opened the blank diary, which communicated through fiery writing and revealed that its author was the real Death God, who had been deceived and could not return from Great Hell.
• The real Death God told Li Weide that the fake Death God was a lackey and urged him to act, while explaining that other versions of Li Weide had died.
• Meanwhile, the fake Death God reassured a raven that Li Weide’s presence in the past posed no threat and said only one final step remained.
• The diary entered Li Weide’s system and granted him power to conceal the Death God mark, and Li Weide prepared to hide what Miravia and Caroline had learned.

• Li Weide told Miravia and Caroline that the fake Death God was an underling of his dark counterpart, who had isolated their World Line and was raising him as a final target.

As the group resumed their travels, the students proposed building a school beside the lake, and Li Weide realized they had been at the future site of Hogwarts.

• Li Weide reassured his four students that he had not gone on a dangerous mission, then joined them for a warm meal and conversation around the campfire.

Li Weide learned that his other self had sealed away the Great Hell and countless Parallel Worlds while preparing to become a god and conquer other worlds.

• Li Weide redeemed the system shop's refreshed items and stored them in a space unaffected by time.
• Li Weide asked the Death God through the diary whether he could travel to an earlier time for help, and learned that the madman had sealed the Great Hell and similar Parallel Worlds away.

• Li Weide worried that his other self would become a god and conquer the heavens and myriad worlds, while the Death God urged him to pursue the opposite extreme.
• Li Weide described his insights about emotions and magic, and the Death God compared magic to primitive people using tools before asking why tools were invented.

Li Weide learned from the Death God that Ancient Magic let its wielder alter the world’s rules, and he proved the idea by summoning a stronger Bai Ze through his will to protect. He realized Ancient Magic could make him powerful enough to challenge the madman, and the Death God promised to protect his loved ones if he failed.

• Li Weide reasoned that magic could work by changing the world’s rules rather than merely spending his own magical power, and summoned a clearer, more solid Bai Ze by focusing on his will to protect.
• The Death God explained that Ancient Magic was the key to altering rules and that its wielders had the potential to become gods, unlike ordinary wizards.
• Li Weide understood that Ancient Magic had previously amplified his spells and helped him strengthen his soul by responding to his wishes and focused desire to grow stronger.
• The Death God said the madman had understood Ancient Magic’s true purpose earlier and warned that time was short for Li Weide to prepare.
• The Death God promised to protect Li Weide’s world, family, and friends if Li Weide failed, and Li Weide said the promise eased his burden.

• Li Weide awakened his Ancient Magic and discovered that his ordinary magic had transformed, while the Law Powers he once believed he had awakened disappeared.
• When Li Weide failed to emerge from his room, Hufflepuff, Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin feared he had died and carried his unresponsive body outside.

• Li Weide concealed his soul with the soul cloak and resolved to prepare against the powerful version of himself, seeing a faint chance of victory.

He told his students that Ancient Magic belonged to Ancient Sages charged with making the world better, and the four students recognized his teaching as part of that mission.

• Li Weide disguised his Ancient Magic with the power of rules and realized the fake Death God had exposed a flaw by rushing his growth.
• Li Weide understood a horse's complaint, translated an argument between the horses and Mina, and promised two horses he could help them fly.
• Li Weide transformed the two wild horses into Abraxans, and they flew off with Mina chasing after them.
• The students rode in their flying carriage and asked Li Weide how he had changed the horses into Abraxans.
• Li Weide called the transformation Ancient Magic and described the mission of Ancient Sages, prompting his students to connect it to his ideal of improving the Wizarding World.

Li Weide finished mastering his Ancient Magic and returned to the modern age, where he helped Tom believe he could safely go home. Tom returned to Riddle Manor and discovered that a clone had accepted Grace McLaggen’s confession, while Li Weide watched and laughed at his prank.

• Li Weide told his four students that Ancient Magic talents awakened late and used the need to find a successor to justify future absences; the students agreed to admit older transfer students and guide them.
