• A Demigod-level Bamboo Leaf Dragonfly, nearly a thousand higher-level native creatures, and over 300,000 low-level troops gathered beneath the breach to resist the Wizard World invasion.

Saine and the Wizard Civilization’s vanguard invaded Green Leaf World, where its insect and plant creatures mounted a costly resistance. As the Azure Source Holy Tower legion advanced to establish a fortress, Saine deployed Luluenman’s plant seeds, while Centaur demigod Maya fought Bamboo Dragonfly Lan Xi above the battlefield.

• Green Leaf World’s Bamboo Dragonflies, insect vassals, and native plants attacked the invading Centaurs and Minotaurs, inflicting heavy casualties as Luluenman ordered the Durian Ancient Trees preserved as war resources.

With local resistance shattered for the moment, the legion began building a fortress and Teleportation Array to bring in hundreds of thousands more troops.

• Two thousand Azure Source Holy Tower magicians unleashed successive waves of long-range spells through the breach, killing vast numbers of Green Leaf World creatures and destroying much of the surrounding forest.
• The breach’s energy passage closed, and the native forces around the temporary Fortress Camp had been reduced to little threat after nearly a million creatures were lost.

• The wounded Demigod-level Bamboo Dragonfly retreated, leaving the Green Leaf World unable to assemble another force of resistance in the short term.
• The Azure Source Holy Tower Legion began raising a fortress base and constructing a Teleportation Array for its hundreds of thousands of waiting troops.

After the Azure Source Holy Tower Legion drove off the wounded Demigod-level Bamboo Dragonfly Lan Xi, it secured its foothold in Green Leaf World and opened a large Space Gate for reinforcements. Saine then led an elite force west into the forest, where the Sea Lizardmen chieftain saw the four Sea Lizards that obeyed Saine.

• Maya and the Azure Source Holy Tower Legion's bombardment wounded Lan Xi, and Terrami's poison-magic sneak attack forced the Bamboo Dragonfly to flee east.

Saine’s forces advanced through Green Leaf World’s western forests as Azure Source Holy Tower used sea folk and centaur legions to conquer the sparsely populated regions before confronting the Bamboo Dragonfly Clan. The chapter leaves the Holy Tower preparing a second northern offensive while keeping its stronger Plant Legions in reserve and relying on unequal contracts with its expendable allies.

• Azure Source Holy Tower chose to advance west and north before attacking the Bamboo Dragonfly Clan’s strongholds in the east and south.
• Saine’s forces struggled with the forest terrain, while the sea folk struggled away from seawater and the centaur and minotaur legions adapted better.
• Centaur scouts found twenty-three edible crops, and Azure Source Holy Tower magicians identified 273 mass-producible plant foods and fifty-four meat-producing animal races.
• The Maya Tribe sought a large share of Green Leaf World’s food reserves, while the sea folk sought food and compensation in ocean resources or Magic Coins.
• After two months, Saine’s force reached the deep west as nearly three hundred thousand troops advanced there and Azure Source Holy Tower planned a separate northern offensive.
• Azure Source Holy Tower kept two hundred thousand Plant Legions in reserve, valuing them above its sea folk and centaur allies, whose contracts required obedience in exchange for postwar resources.

Saine investigated a report of danger and found a powerful Weird Plant in a vast pit, where it had captured and devoured many Azure Claw Sea Crabs. He ordered his forces to block the plant’s access to soil energy and destroy its roots.

• Saine received an alarm from an Azure Claw Sea Crab Chieftain and led part of his troops to provide support.
• Saine reached a huge, barren pit and discovered a Level-2 Weird Plant entangling hundreds of Azure Claw Sea Crabs.
• Saine spotted empty crab shells among the plant’s victims and recognized that its spiked vines had devoured them.
• Saine ordered Daniel and the others to block the plant’s energy intake and Gang Sass and the Level 1 Knights to dig up and destroy its roots.

Saine fought a powerful plant creature in an underground pit while Daniel and the others worked to free the Azure Clawed Giant Crabs. After Saine discovered strange fire-element energy inside the plant, Nataya joined the battle, and their flames collided in a blast that cracked the surrounding earth.

• Daniel and the others moved to deal with the plant creature as Saine activated his Elemental True Body and attacked its trunk with Azure Fire spells.
• Saine’s Flame Mandala explosions withered the plant, allowing the injured Azure Clawed Giant Crab chieftain to break free, though many other crabs were crushed or pierced.
• Saine blasted a hole through the plant’s trunk with Brilliant Heart and noticed purplish sap and fibers containing unfamiliar fire-element energy.
• The plant fired purplish energy beams from its tumors, but Saine continued attacking as flames blazed around him.
• Nataya arrived in Demon Transformation, launched her Flame Greatsword at the plant’s roots, and crashed into the branches surrounding Saine.
• Saine and Nataya’s flames collided through the plant branches, creating a roaring pillar of fire that cracked the earth and sent underground water rushing downhill.

Saine and Nataya killed the Level-2 Weird Plant, ending the battle and dividing its remains among the fighters. Saine discovered a purple boulder beneath the plant and took it for study while Nataya offered him the tree core.

• Saine scolded Nataya for killing the Weird Plant he had wanted to study, and she lowered her head.
• Saine and the surviving Azure Clawed Giant Crabs, Daniel, and the other fighters gathered in the scorched pit around the dead plant.
• Saine distributed Task Points and potions to the Level 1 Knights in exchange for plant remains they had collected.
• Nataya pulled her greatsword from the plant's roots, revealing an irregular purple boulder beneath the corpse.
• Saine gave the purplish-red tree core to Nataya and took the boulder, then thanked her for coming to help him.
• Nataya told Saine they were family, leaving him unsure how to respond.

A month after the battle in the deep pit, Nataya sought advice from her mother, Xia Ya, about growing closer to her fiancé Saine. Xia Ya shared her own complicated marriage experience and proposed a risky plan, leaving Nataya surprised but willing to hear her out.

• Saine agreed to the Azure Claw Sea Crab Chieftain's plan to send clansmen to investigate the underground dark river.
• Nataya told Xia Ya that Saine had shut himself in his Magic Tower and that she feared she had angered him during their battle.
• Xia Ya urged Nataya to secure her relationship with Saine and revealed that Wilson had kept other women outside their marriage.
• Nataya said she hoped she and Saine would not have the same problems as her parents, then asked Xia Ya for advice.
• Xia Ya described a risky plan through Mental Strength transmission and told Nataya to trust her.

Saine studied violet meteorite fragments and discovered a special energy he named Purple Flame Power, which could support his research into body tempering. He asked Archimedes to organize a battlefield-wide collection mission, offering 7,000 Magic Coins in rewards.

• Saine examined purple granules from a violet boulder and concluded that the meteorite had come from beyond the domain.
• Saine named the unusual energy Purple Flame Power and realized the single boulder would not provide enough material for his research.
• Saine contacted Archimedes at the main fortress and requested a mission to collect the violet ore across the Green Leaf World battlefield.
• Saine offered 7,000 Magic Coins for the mission, making rewards available for both ore and useful information, and including beings beyond knights and magicians.

Saine spent 7,000 Magic Coins to have the Azure Source Holy Tower gather purple meteorites across the Green Leaf World for his research. He discovered the special flame’s “Undying” trait and showed Nataya the Undying Purple Flame.

• Saine arranged with President Archimedes to send 7,000 Magic Coins and meteorite samples to the Central Fortress for a Holy Tower gathering mission.
• Archimedes agreed to issue the non-mandatory mission to the Azure Source Holy Tower’s legions, with Saine’s funds paying for the rewards.
• Nataya learned of the mission and guessed Saine had issued it after seeing their earlier battle together.
• Saine told Nataya that his experiments had revealed the purple flame’s “Undying” trait and showed her the Undying Purple Flame.
• Saine flicked the small flame into a nearby forest, where it rapidly spread into a roaring blaze.

Saine joined the campaign to encircle Green Leaf World's demigod-level Green Pine Earth Cypress and strengthened his Azure Fire spells with the Undying Purple Flame. Before he could study newly collected purple meteorites, Xia Ya assigned him a support role in the assault on the Level-3 Moonscar Willow Tree, the last obstacle before the Cypress.

• Azure Source Holy Tower ordered an encirclement of Green Pine Earth Cypress and assigned four Level-3 Knights and Magicians and Maya to the westward campaign.
• Saine modified his Azure Fire spells with the Undying Purple Flame, creating Azure Fire Purple Blaze and greatly increasing his magic's power.
• Saine received word that three batches of purple meteorites had been found, including two on the Northern Front Battlefield, but he had not yet examined them.
• Xia Ya told Saine to join the plan to encircle the Moonscar Willow Tree and predict Green Pine Earth Cypress's ground impacts while cutting some of its roots.

Saine took part in the siege of the Level-3 Moonscar Willow Tree, but his real mission was to detect and warn the Azure Source Holy Tower Legion about attacks from the Demigod-level Green Pine Earth Cypress. After sending an advance warning, he faced the immediate challenge of evading its power impact.

• Saine accepted Xia Ya’s assignment to circle behind the Moonscar Willow Tree and monitor the Green Pine Earth Cypress.
• Two days later, Saine used his aura concealment and Elementalization to slip west past the battlefield.
• Saine reached the rear of the Moonscar Willow Tree as Xia Ya and the others began their siege.
• After twenty-seven hourglasses, Saine detected an abnormal energy pulse from the west and recorded its direction and speed.
• Saine sent the warning to the eastern battlefield, then prepared to evade the Demigod-level attack aimed at the legion.

Saine endured repeated attacks from the Demigod-level Green Pine Earth Cypress while helping the Azure Source Holy Tower forces besiege the Moonscar Willow Tree. By the ninth day, his supplies and strength were nearly exhausted, and the battle’s outcome remained uncertain.

• Saine evaded a Green Pine Earth Cypress energy strike, survived behind multiple defenses, and told Xia Ya he was unharmed when she checked on him.
• Over eight days, Saine detected twenty-seven attacks in advance and relayed warnings to Xia Ya and the others.
• At Xia Ya’s request, Saine moved farther west to improve his detection, despite fearing the added danger.
• On the ninth day, with his defensive items spent and his magic power and Mental Strength depleted, Saine hid in a fissure and hoped the Moonscar Willow Tree had fallen.
• Saine remained at his post because withdrawing could leave the front-line fighters exposed.

After Moonscar Willow Tree died, Green Pine Earth Cypress unleashed a vast Forest Wrath attack against the invaders, awakening plants across western Green Leaf World. Saine remained in the attack’s path as Nataya rushed toward him, leaving him desperate to find a way to survive.

• Green Pine Earth Cypress sensed Moonscar Willow Tree’s death and mourned the loss of its old friend.
• Encouraged by Verdant Ancient Banyan, Green Pine Earth Cypress invoked Forest Wrath, awakening plants throughout the western forests and sending a powerful energy tide toward the invaders.
• Luluenman noticed the attack and realized Saine was still in its path, but she was too late to stop it.
• Xia Ya urged Saine to flee and warned him that Nataya was rushing toward him, but Saine judged that neither of them could escape the approaching blast.
• Saine slammed a milky-white seed into the ground as the attack neared.

Saine woke after surviving a Demigod-level attack that left most of his body gravely damaged. Archimedes told him that the Green Source Seed had activated, the Western Front was safe for now, and Nataya was recovering nearby.

• A Demigod-level energy tide hurled Saine away as the surrounding plants turned hostile and a Giant Plant Monstrosity rose from the Green Source Seed.
• Nataya caught the unconscious Saine, and Xia Ya later carried him back to the fortress base.
• Saine awoke a month later in a recovery vat, where Life Green Algae absorbed his dead tissues as he examined his damaged body.
• Archimedes told Saine that Xia Ya had rescued him and that the Tower Master remotely controlled the activated Giant Plant Monstrosity.
• Archimedes said the Azure Source Holy Tower's Combat Legion was advancing and the Western Front was safe, then told Saine that Nataya was recovering next door.

Saine recovered from his severe injuries in the Central Fortress and considered asking Bixi to join the war in the Green Leaf World. Nataya entered his room, locked the Elemental Restriction, and began undressing, leaving Saine alarmed and asking what she was doing.

• Archimedes left after speaking with Saine, who continued recuperating in the Central Fortress.
• Saine learned that his mentor Luluenman had arranged costly treatment and later advised him to leave the Healing Crystal Coffin to rebuild his strength through painful recovery.
• Saine heard that the war remained unsettled, with Green Pine Earth Cypress targeted and the Bamboo Dragonfly Clan threatening the Central Fortress from the east.
• Saine considered bringing Bixi into the war, believing she would want to help after seeing his injuries.
• Nataya entered Saine's room, locked the Elemental Restriction, and began taking off her clothes, prompting Saine to ask what she was doing.

After Saine and Nataya became intimate despite their severe injuries, Saine confessed that he loved Lina, a female Black Magician, and admitted his relationships with Serena and Irene. Nataya learned the truth about Lina, while Saine privately considered Lina his First Wife and Nataya his Second Wife.

• Nataya and Saine fought passionately for several hours, and their intimacy made Saine finally accept Nataya as his wife.
• Afterward, Saine thought about his marriage to Nataya, his guilt toward Lina, and his wish to see Lina again.
• Nataya noticed Saine was preoccupied, and he told her he had someone he loved.
• Saine admitted he had intimate relationships with Serena and Irene, then named Lina as the love of his life.
• Nataya learned Lina was a female Black Magician, and Saine decided it was time to stop hiding Lina from her.

Saine and Nataya openly discussed his feelings for Lina, bringing them closer and helping Saine untangle his conflicted emotions. As Saine recovered, he disguised the improvement in his injuries and left for the Wizard World to seek reinforcements.

• Nataya accepted that Saine had feelings for Lina but said he had to agree to a condition she had not yet decided.
• Saine told Nataya about his past with Lina, and they shared their most heartfelt conversation so far.
• Nataya explained that she had first liked Saine because he was strong, then because he was handsome and capable, and now because he was loyal and devoted.
• Saine asked Nataya why she liked him and risked herself for him, and her answers helped untie the knot in his heart.
• After recovering faster, Saine disguised his injuries as severe and was carried toward the Spatial Gate to return to the Wizard World for reinforcements.

Saine returned to Wizard World after being injured in Green Leaf World and persuaded Tourmaline to join the war by claiming a Demigod-level plant had hurt him. Tourmaline became furious and agreed to seek revenge, but she did not know where Green Leaf World was.

• Saine departed the Central Fortress while Nataya, Anna, Luna, and Xia Ya saw him off.
• Saine traveled through the Demiplane with his mentor Luluenman and cousin Serena, while Luna left to gather more centaur troops and Minotaur slaves.
• After a difficult two-month journey, Saine reached the Jewel Sea and called for Tourmaline.
• Saine told Tourmaline that a Demigod-level plant had injured him and that Azure Source Holy Tower had suffered heavy losses.
• Tourmaline unleashed and then calmed a massive wave before offering to avenge Saine, but she asked where Green Leaf World was.
