After returning to Britain, Li Weide learned that Miravia had killed Annie, the Blood Ancestor, and taken her Heart of Blood. At Hogwarts, the others traced Slytherin’s death to a consciousness from the Great Tomb that had used him to escape, and decided to warn the wider wizarding world and conceal the tomb.

• Li Weide cautioned Tom that resurrection was uncertain and could attract dangerous attention, so Tom decided to ask Slytherin what he wanted rather than reveal the possibility outright.
• The International Confederation of Wizards commissioned Hydra Company to make a wide-ranging vampire detector, and Li Weide led the Technical Department to deliver an invisible flying device after two days.
• Slytherin visited Li Weide, explained that Tom had asked about resurrection and his remaining time, and asked Li Weide to persuade Tom not to cling to him.
• Slytherin gave Li Weide a Snakewood Wand with a Basilisk-horn core for Tom, noting that it was powerful but best suited to Dark Magic.
• Slytherin told Li Weide he had decided against resurrection and asked him to burn his recovered body, then left to spend time with old friends before he faded away.

• Li Weide and Mr. Potter saw a Veela whose powerful charm affected the men on the street, and they suspected she was pure-blooded.

• Death God warned Li Weide that the demon invasion had been moved up and would begin within ten years because Cain had fled to the Ancient Tomb.
• Death God explained that the system malfunctioned after Li Weide earned Merit Points in Parallel Worlds and said visiting other worlds could restore its calculations once recovery exceeded seventy percent.

• Li Weide woke in the human world with a dark emblem on his palm and sulfur on his body, then decided not to tell anyone about the Death God's warning and resolved to become a god.

• Slytherin possessed the body, discovered he could not leave it, and decided to live again before setting off to find Hufflepuff for a meal.
• Li Weide considered whether to enlist Dumbledore in preparing for the coming calamity, then greeted the Black Lake and was dragged into an underwater cavern by a tentacle.
• Hufflepuff told Slytherin she had known he would return to life, and began explaining the secret behind her long survival.

After arranging for Apolline to stay in the dormitory and sleep for prophetic dreams, he returned to Mobile Castle, where Miravia demanded an explanation for Gryffindor and Slytherin’s return; Li Weide asked her to trust his decisions without revealing the reason.

• Li Weide questioned why Apolline’s dream showed the Floating City, and Death God explained that she had filled in the missing dream memories and could offer him hints only when the timing was right.
• Li Weide inferred that Ancient Magic and Spirit Root were part of the path to becoming a god, then studied the dream scene and wondered whether someone beside him would become a traitor.

• Li Weide asked Miravia to trust him as he changed their development strategy, then told her not to ask questions and to support his decisions, frustrating her.

Li Weide learned that he could tell Miravia the truth about the Death God and the coming threat of Great Hell because she had become independent of her original worldline. After deciding to unite the world to end the war and prepare for the invasion, he revealed a hidden plan to create an army through biological cloning and consciousness creation.
