Unable to leave the universe after ascending to godhood, Tierra went to Dumbledore, who gave him a letter from Grindelwald explaining Tierra’s nature and predicting his role in the Triwizard Tournament. The letter left Tierra facing Grindelwald’s warning that he could never return to where he came from.

• Dumbledore led Tierra through the Alps toward Nurmengard and explained that Tierra still lacked accumulated magical knowledge but had time to surpass him.

• Grindelwald told Tierra that he could call him the Dark Lord, Gellert Grindelwald, or Experiment Zero.

Grindelwald revealed that Tierra was the 147,967th transmigrator in an experiment to cultivate an Outer God outside the Blind Idiot God. Tierra learned that the world was a designed cage where he had fused with the setting and become an Outer God Embryo, while a distant figure recorded the experiment.

• Tierra asked Grindelwald about the earlier experiments and why he alone had reached normal incubation.
• Grindelwald explained that the world’s objects and events were arranged to help Tierra obtain the divinity of chaos, and revealed that he was Experiment Zero, a native who had already achieved that divinity.
• Grindelwald told Tierra that he was chosen because his soul came from a universe outside the Blind Idiot God’s creation, unlike Grindelwald’s.

Tierra returned from Nurmengard and told Dumbledore that Grindelwald wanted him to delay mass migration until Voldemort was dealt with, while entrusting him with his name, followers, and vision for a fair Wizarding World. Tierra decided to stay at Hogwarts and received an appointment as Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.

• Dumbledore offered Tierra a position as Hogwarts' Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, and Tierra read the letter of appointment.

He then declared that he wanted to become Hogwarts’ rightful headmaster and revolutionize its educational system.

• Tierra refused the Defense Against the Dark Arts appointment, calling the post too insignificant to change the Wizarding World.

• Tierra told Dumbledore that Hogwarts’ thousand-year-old methods neglected basic education and that Muggle-born students often excelled because they had received primary schooling.
• Tierra explained that many wizarding children, including Ron, entered Hogwarts without systematic education, while Muggle children had already developed literacy, numeracy, and study habits.
• Tierra criticized Professor Binns’s History of Magic lessons and urged Dumbledore to teach students about the harms of the Dark Lord uprisings and pure-blood ideology.
• Dumbledore worried that discussing Death Eater families’ histories might lead to discrimination, but Tierra argued that Hogwarts should teach accountability rather than conceal the past.
• Dumbledore praised Tierra’s ambition to reform Hogwarts and gave him a letter from Phoenix Fawkes, asking him to handle a troublesome Ministry of Magic matter in his place.
