After forty years of sleep, Feng Ye awoke near a transformative threshold but found himself short of the power needed to cross it. He decided to reclaim Fullbring and the remaining Quincy power in the World of the Living.

• Feng Ye absorbed the Wandenreich’s Quincy power and estimated that his transformation would reach its critical point after about fifty more years.
• Feng Ye went into a deep sleep, while Yoruichi spent forty years unable to reach him or report Aizen’s situation.

• Feng Ye awoke and decided to reclaim Fullbring and the remaining Quincy power to gain enough strength for his transformation.

Feng Ye reclaimed Fullbring powers from people across the World of the Living, triggering a transformation that shook Soul Society, Hueco Mundo, and the World of the Living. Realizing he lacked enough power to complete it, he ordered Lilith and Liana to guard the two realms and traveled to another galaxy to devour a star.

• Feng Ye extracted Haruna's Sunshine Girl Fullbring, promised her protection if she silently invoked the Hollow King, and cleared the clouds across the sky before disappearing.

• Feng Ye told Lilith and Liana to guard Hueco Mundo and Soul Society while he left the galaxy to find more power.
• Feng Ye reached a distant star and began devouring its energy as its surface formed a vast vortex around him.

Feng Ye devoured twenty-seven stars and began consuming a twenty-eighth before completing his transformation into a colossal Twenty-Eight Tails form. His power had grown so immense that he could not return to Soul Society until he improved his control and reduced his size.

• Feng Ye spent two years devouring a star and its surrounding system, then moved on to consume the next star system.
• Feng Ye devoured more star systems over the following years, completing twenty-seven and beginning to consume the twenty-eighth.

• Feng Ye found that his power had become difficult to control and that even his human form was as large as a planet.
• Feng Ye tried to shrink himself but remained too large to return to the Spirit King Palace, so he decided to cultivate his control before going back to Soul Society.

Feng Ye spent nearly seven years outside Soul Society adapting to his immense power and shrinking his body through cultivation. He reached a thousand meters tall, decided further progress would take centuries, and set off back to Soul Society with a star-filled Snuff Bottle.

Aizen revealed that his Complete Hypnosis had fooled most of the assembled reinforcements, leaving Isshin, Kisuke, Tessai, and Yoruichi to face him and his allies.

• Isshin Kurosaki entered the Soul Corridor carrying the Hogyoku, where Aizen, Gin Ichimaru, and Kaname Tosen confronted him.
• Kisuke Urahara and Shiniro Hirako arrived with their allies, explaining that they had used the Hogyoku as bait to draw Aizen into a trap.

• Aizen disclosed that his Complete Hypnosis had made most of the gathered fighters believe they had already acted, leaving only Isshin, Kisuke, Tessai, and Yoruichi moving.
• Aizen attacked Isshin while Gin and Kaname engaged Kisuke and Tessai, and the Outsider King was assigned to hold back Yoruichi.

Aizen escaped with the Hogyoku, absorbed part of the sun’s power, and returned to the Soul Society, where Feng Ye defeated him with a single finger. After creating a new World Wedge, Feng Ye left with Lilith and Liana for another world, leaving Hizana to protect the Spirit King Palace and the Void King Palace.

• Aizen seized the real Hogyoku through a spatial rift, escaped into the chaotic currents, fused it with his own incomplete Hogyoku, and returned to the World of the Living.

• Feng Ye created a new World Wedge and prepared to leave with Lilith and Liana, assigning Hizana to guard the Spirit King Palace and the Void King Palace.

Feng Ye entered Chaos’s realm, survived the God King’s attacks with the Phantom Clock’s Universe-level time powers, and froze Chaos when he tried to leave. He then began exploring Chaos’s worlds to study his power, leaving Lilith to guard the gods and Liana to investigate a parallel world.

• Feng Ye entered the isolated realm and met Chaos, who revealed that the bubbles above his palace contained hundreds of parallel worlds, including the Fairy Tail main world.
• Chaos attacked Feng Ye to protect himself, but Feng Ye recovered from the first strike and used Time Peel to withstand Chaos’s stronger attack.
• Feng Ye’s sword could not harm Chaos, so Chaos tried to withdraw his power and leave; Feng Ye stopped him with the Phantom Clock’s ninth-mark ability, Time Stop.
• Feng Ye failed to extract Chaos’s power, but decided to study the parallel worlds as a way to learn Chaos’s energy system and eventually grow strong enough to defeat him.
• Feng Ye left Lilith to guard the frozen Chaos and the kneeling gods, then entered the main world while Liana flew into a nearby parallel world.

Feng Ye encountered Eclaire, the immortal Priestess of the Phoenix, and restored her lost memories while learning about Phoenix Power. After discovering that her father had died and that killing the Phoenix would also kill her, Eclaire still chose to fulfill her duty, and Feng Ye took the Phoenix Stone and offered to kill the Phoenix himself.

• Feng Ye arrived on Ishgar, disguised his enormous body as an ordinary-sized figure, and set out to learn magic.

• Feng Ye revealed that Eclaire’s father had died and showed her memories confirming the news, leaving her devastated.
• Feng Ye told Eclaire that using her father’s Phoenix-killing magic would kill her too, but she insisted on fulfilling her duty and asked for directions to the Magic Council.
• Feng Ye took the half-Phoenix Stone from Eclaire and said he would kill the Phoenix there himself.

Feng Ye reunited the Phoenix Stone halves, resurrected the Phoenix, and challenged it to escape his palm. The Phoenix failed and was crushed, while Feng Ye preserved its Phoenix Power for further examination.

• Feng Ye's enormous palm crushed the Phoenix and the canyon, while he preserved a sphere of Phoenix Power to examine.

Feng Ye saved Eclaire by giving her the Phoenix Power, then traveled the world with her for twenty years to record its magic before disappearing in X401. Nearly three hundred years later, he was still trying to decipher the power of Chaos and realized he needed to find the Magic of One, a power connected to love.

• Feng Ye killed the phoenix, then gave its Phoenix Power to Eclaire, who was reborn and became the true Priestess of the Phoenix.
• Eclaire struggled to control her new power, and Feng Ye took her with him to train and study magic.
• Feng Ye spent around twenty years traveling the world with Eclaire and recording its magic, becoming known as a legendary wizard.
• In X401, Feng Ye appeared before the Magic Council, took newly published magic books, and disappeared; Eclaire later founded the one-member guild Phoenix Heart.
• Nearly three hundred years later, Feng Ye concluded that he needed the Magic of One to complete his analysis of Chaos's power and decided to search for it.

Feng Ye arrived on Tenrou Island to seek the power of the heart and encountered Mavis Vermillion, who was being abused by the Red Lizard guild. He showed her Life Magic, leaving her amazed and curious.

• Feng Ye adapted to the power of twenty-eight stars, absorbed more star energy, and headed for Tenrou Island after recalling that Mavis Vermillion had been born.
• Mavis Vermillion read an insect book at the Red Lizard guild until Gisellef knocked it away, crushed it, and ordered her to work outside.
• Gisellef forced Mavis to give up her only pair of shoes, and she went barefoot to sweep the guild grounds while the other mages mocked her.
• A butterfly caught Mavis's attention outside the guild, where she saw Feng Ye shape soil into a living bird with Life Magic.
• Mavis apologized for touching Feng Ye's bird, and he reassured her before explaining that he had used Life Magic.

Feng Ye met Mebis, saw that her magic would soon awaken, and offered to teach her after learning she was trapped working to repay her parents’ debt. He arranged for Gisellef to release her from the debt and left with Mebis as his student.

• Feng Ye used Future Sight to look into Mebis’s future and told her she would become a mage and awaken her own magic soon.
• Feng Ye offered to teach Mebis magic, but she declined because she had to clean the guild to repay her parents’ debt to Chairman Gisellef.
• After reflecting on Mebis’s pure heart, Feng Ye disappeared, leaving Mebis to resume her work.
• Gisellef told Mebis that Feng Ye had taken over her parents’ debt, and Feng Ye said Gisellef had decided not to pursue it.
