Saine and his allies fought through the chaotic opening months of the Wizard World's invasion of the Wild Gorilla World, rescuing the Spiked Green Mushroom King from being used as cannon fodder. After the armies regrouped, Saine returned to the Azure Source Holy Tower's temporary base with a much-diminished legion and prepared to report his battlefield achievements.

• Saine found the wounded Spiked Green Mushroom King trapped in a battle and sent Kingfisher and the Plant Monstrosity to help it while Bone Dragon Sanchez led undead troops elsewhere.
• Saine and Lina aided the Black Rock Knights' Hall forces, returning their earlier help as the armies fought through the early-stage war.
• Over three months of chaotic fighting, Saine became separated from the Azure Source Holy Tower's main legion twice as Wizard World forces battered the Wild Gorilla armies.
• After Space Fortresses entered the Wild Gorilla World and restored order, Saine returned to the Azure Source Holy Tower base with more than forty thousand of his original undead and plant troops, along with lost sea clans and centaurs.
• Saine went to the command center to report and discuss future arrangements, while Tower Master Luluenman remained away; Saine's combat record had won the respect of the Holy Tower's Third-Level Great Magicians.

After returning to the Azure Source Holy Tower’s temporary base, Saine settled into a shared magic tower with his household and reflected on the gains and dangers of the war. He resumed his alchemy work and began designing a magical metal hammer for close combat, leaving the story with the weapon still at the planning stage.

• Saine returned to the temporary base and moved into a spacious magic tower with Serena, Irene, Nataya, Lunna, and the others.
• Saine scolded Little Qi and Fei'er for leading the Level-1 companions into dangerous battles, then warned them to be more careful.
• Saine reviewed his war gains, including Magic Coins, Wild Gorilla corpses, and Demigod-level materials.
• Nataya and Lunna brought Saine materials gathered from the Wild Gorilla World, and Saine resumed his experiments after setting aside body tempering.
• Saine began planning a large trapezoidal metal hammer that could serve as both a close-combat weapon and specialized laboratory equipment.

Saine repaired Yuli's Flame Mark Constructed Magic Puppet during the Azure Source Holy Tower's month-long rest and heard Luna's request for the Centaur God Hephaestus to join the war. The chapter ended as Saine saw a vast Magic Beast Army led by five enormous Kings of Devil Beasts entering the Wild Gorilla World.

• Saine used his new Alchemy Heavy Hammer to repair the damage to Yuli's Flame Mark Constructed Magic Puppet.
• While the Azure Source Holy Tower rested, Luna asked Saine to recommend that Luluenman allow Hephaestus to bring two million elite Centaur Legion troops into the war.
• Saine received Dragon Turtle Bixi and learned from Archimedes that Bixi had gathered many Kings of Devil Beasts, whose forces were passing through the Space Cracks.
• Archimedes showed Saine more than three million Devil Beasts entering the Wild Gorilla World, led by Mo Yan, three Kings of Devil Beasts Saine recognized, and an unfamiliar giant squid.

Saine welcomed five Kings of Devil Beasts and their companions to Azure Source Holy Tower’s Wild Gorilla World base, where they discussed their roles in the war and revealed that Sea King forces might also arrive. Luluenman returned as the groups prepared to coordinate their operations with her.

• Saine paused his experiment with Lina and went outside to greet Mo Yan and the other Kings of Devil Beasts, who had arrived ahead of their army.
• Saine recognized Tourmaline and learned that Milena had used Wind Element power to help her keep pace with the others.
• Mo Yan said four Kings of Devil Beasts would cooperate with Azure Source Holy Tower, while the giant squid explained that it was there only to protect Tourmaline.
• The giant squid told Saine that Bai Xing planned to bring Sea King Class creatures and a Sea Folk Legion to the battlefield after handling urgent matters.
• Milena greeted Saine as Luluenman returned, and Saine directed the Kings of Devil Beasts to discuss operational cooperation with the tower master.

Luluenman led Mo Yan, Milena, and two other Kings of Devil Beasts back to the front lines to aid O'Neal against two Gorilla Gods. As Saine prepared the Azure Source Holy Tower Legion for battle, Luluenman and the beasts arrived just as O'Neal was wounded.

• Cuilisi summoned Luluenman away from her fight, and she returned to the Azure Source Holy Tower fortress before learning that O'Neal was struggling against a Level-4 and a Level-5 Gorilla God.
• Mo Yan eagerly agreed to fight, assigning himself and Milena to the Level-5 Gorilla God and sending two companions to face the Level-4 Gorilla God.
• Luluenman led the four Kings of Devil Beasts back to the front lines, while the giant squid stayed behind to protect Bixi.
• Luluenman issued orders to the Azure Source Holy Tower Legion, and Saine began assembling the Combat Legion as Bixi stayed close to him.
• O'Neal was wounded while fighting both Gorilla Gods, but Luluenman arrived with the Devil Beast Kings, whose dragon and tiger forms rushed ahead to meet him.

Saine and Tourmaline joined the battle near the Fire Kite Mountain Range, where the Azure Source Holy Tower helped the Fire Melt Mountain Knights' Hall rout the enemy. Afterward, Saine focused on a new idea for transforming his Fire Element Power to break through to Level 3, inspired by the volcano's unusual azure magma.

• Saine rode atop Tourmaline as she rallied the Sea Folk Legion with an aura that strengthened their morale and affinity for Water Elements.
• Saine arrived at the Fire Kite Mountain Range and saw that Wild Gorilla World's forces had been replaced largely by subordinate and coerced legions after the gorilla legions suffered heavy losses.
• Saine recognized the Fire Melt Mountain Knights' Hall by its Black Skin Dwarf slave legion and sent the Azure Source Holy Tower's hundreds of thousands of troops to support it.
• Tourmaline and a Level-4 giant squid helped break the enemy's resistance, and the arrival of millions of magical beasts later turned the battle into a pursuit and slaughter.
• Saine stayed in an alchemy tent on Tourmaline's shell to consider whether fusing Azure Blaze, Undying Purple Flame, and the volcano's azure magma flame could help him achieve a qualitative transformation and reach Level 3.

Saine spent three months researching the Blue Fire in his volcanic laboratory while the Wizard World army secured the Fire Kite Mountain Range. After Serena reported that the war had temporarily ended and the Holy Tower wanted him to help oversee the region’s postwar cleanup, Saine went to inspect it.

• Saine studied the Blue Fire and found that it decomposed metals effectively, then considered seeking unusual flame seeds through the Wizard Alliance.
• Saine learned that Nataya had returned from battle badly injured and had later made an embarrassing remark about him in front of Lunna.
• Serena told Saine that the war had reached a temporary conclusion and that the Holy Tower wanted him to join the Fire Melt Mountain Knights' Hall in managing the cleanup.
• Saine learned that the region held valuable mineral deposits and more than ten million surviving native creatures who could be enslaved or put to work.
• Saine asked Serena to go outside with him and inspect the area.

Saine inspected a settlement in the Fire Kite Mountain Range, where the Azure Source Holy Tower’s forces had gathered tens of thousands of native creatures amid the aftermath of war. He left after urging Eri to minimize losses so the survivors could later be sold as slaves.

• Saine flew over the Fire Kite Mountain Range and saw that millions of Devil Beasts had eaten most of the battlefield’s remains.
• Saine arrived at a settlement of low stone houses with Serena and nearly a thousand Plant Creatures.
• Eri told Saine that around thirty thousand native creatures lived in the settlement, while another forty thousand lived nearby under the Fire Melt Mountain Knights' Hall.
• Eri explained that the natives survived on volcanic moss and underground water, and that Devil Beasts had reduced the settlement’s population from roughly one hundred thousand.
• Saine told Eri to reduce daily losses because the Wild Gorillas could become valuable exports for the Azure Source Holy Tower.
• Eri revealed that only around three thousand residents were purebred Wild Gorillas and asked what the Sub-Ape species might be worth; Saine encouraged him to work hard.

Saine traveled through the Fire Kite Mountain Range as the Wizard World’s invasion brought down two Gorilla Gods. The Fire Velvet Gorilla God’s self-detonation devastated the range’s eastern region after Mo Yan and other powerful beings diverted the falling meteor, while Saine watched from the retreating Space Fortress.

• Saine met Knight Cindy, who told him she had seen Nataya and the others northwest, then continued north with his Plant Legion and Kingfisher.
• A yellow meteor struck west of the Fire Kite Mountain Range, killing a Level-4 Gorilla God; Luluenman, Fenrir, and the White Feather Pelican dealt with the remains while Luluenman stabilized the region.
• Two months later, Saine watched from the Fortress of Azure Origin as the Level-5 Fire Velvet Gorilla God sent a giant flaming meteor toward the range’s main peak, prompting the Wizard World forces to evacuate.
• Mo Yan and several other powerful beings diverted the meteor away from the main peak, but it struck the eastern range and triggered eruptions that engulfed a third of the Fire Kite Mountain Range.
• Rain fell near the main peak as water sprayed into the sky by Mo Yan met the range’s geothermal heat, producing thick clouds of vapor.

As the Wizard World’s initial war against the Wild Gorilla World neared its end, its True Spirit Dominators considered sending more legions while assessing the returning Wild Ape God and the threat of the Galente Federation. They agreed that a full-scale war with the Federation was unlikely soon, but warned it might covertly support the gorillas.

• Baer proposed sending the second and third waves of Combat Legions to reduce losses and pressure the Wild Ape God and nearby civilizations, and Saneseus approved.
• Claire showed the Dominators a sealed Level-4 Gorilla God specimen sent by Cuilisi, prompting them to compare the gorilla race with a vanished civilization.
• Sethy judged the gorillas inferior in their pursuit of strength, and the other Dominators largely agreed.
• Haishan raised concerns that the Galente Federation might respond to the Wizard World’s campaign, but Befu said the Federation was not ready for full-scale war.
• Alice warned that the Galente Federation could still covertly support the Wild Gorilla World.

The Wild Ape God received a representative of the Galente Federation, who offered an alliance against the Wizard Civilization. The chapter ended with the Wild Ape God learning that the Wizard Civilization possessed tens of thousands of powerful fighters.

• The Wild Ape God heard that eleven Gorilla Gods, including two Level-5 Gorilla Gods, had fallen in less than a year.
• The Wild Ape God questioned a metal robot about whether the Overlord Tiger and Purple Dragon King intended to help him, and learned that neither planned to intervene.
• The robot revealed that Blue Purple Star had allied with the aliens invading the Wild Ape God's Mother Plane.
• The Wild Ape God asked who the robot represented, and it declared that it represented the Galente Federation, a Top-Level Civilization.
• The robot warned that the Wizard Civilization had tens of thousands of powerful fighters, making the Wild Ape God's pupils contract.

After a year of war, the Wild Gorilla World’s forces fortified their borders while the Wizard World paused its advance and awaited reinforcements. Saine and Luluenman’s alliance with O’Neal brought them major spoils, including the divine fire of the Fire Velvet Gorilla God, which Luluenman showed Saine.

• The Wild Gorilla legions retreated and built defensive lines as more powerful Wild Gorillas appeared, while the Wizard World’s army slowed its offensive and prepared for further combat legions to arrive.
• The Wizard World’s forces had killed eleven Gorilla Gods in the Wild Gorilla World, while two heavily injured knights had withdrawn from the war and O’Neal continued fighting.
• Azure Source Holy Tower and the Fire Melt Mountain Knights’ Hall discovered that the Fire Kite Mountain Range held mineral resources worth at least two million Magic Coins, with further wealth in spoils, corpses, and potential slave creatures.
• O’Neal urged Luluenman to continue cooperating, and she gave him a Life Potion while explaining that their alliance helped secure the divine fire Saine needed.
• Luluenman revealed the Fire Velvet Gorilla God’s divine fire, and Saine fixed his attention on it.

Saine's attempt to fuse several kinds of flame failed repeatedly, and he realized that the divine fire contained law-related factors beyond his ability to investigate. Before he could recover from the setbacks or seek Luluenman's guidance, Irene informed him that the Azure Source Holy Tower had issued a full-member war mobilization order.

• Saine returned to his laboratory after speaking with Luluenman and began researching how to fuse different flames.
• Luluenman warned Saine that the divine fire contained law factors that could make his research difficult, but Saine remained confident in his approach.
• Saine tested the fusion of four flames, and the experiment exploded, wrecking his laboratory and knocking him away.
• Saine concluded that the divine fire's mysterious factors caused the conflict and decided to keep working without asking Luluenman for help.
• Irene contacted Saine and told him that the Azure Source Holy Tower had issued a full-member War Mobilization Order and assigned another combat mission.

Saine joined the Azure Source Holy Tower’s forces as they prepared to attack a fortress defense line in Wild Gorilla World. The Battle Order assigned him to help the Fire Melt Mountain Knights’ Hall break through the front, while the main Wizard World force advanced toward the plane’s central heartland.

• After leaving his laboratory, Saine geared up for battle and briefly encountered Nataya and Lunna at the residence.
• Saine flew to the Space Fortress’s combat area, where Lina, Irene, Serena, Green, Daniel, and other magicians had gathered.
• The Azure Source Holy Tower received orders to attack a fortress defense line north of the Fire Kite Mountain Range in cooperation with the Fire Melt Mountain Knights’ Hall.
• Saine learned that Pinas’s Off-Ground Light Flame Holy Tower was assigned to the right flank of his unit’s battle line.
• The Battle Order assigned Serena to logistics, Irene to long-range support, and Saine to help the knights break through the enemy’s front line.

Saine joined the Wizard World’s assault on the Wild Gorilla World, where the gorillas’ newly built steel defenses and long-range weapons made the frontline unusually fierce. As the Wizard World’s legions advanced, Saine led an elite force of Azure Source Holy Tower magicians toward the enemy defenses.

• Saine entered the battlefield and saw the Wild Gorilla Legion’s steel Great Wall and energy weapons trading fire with the Wizard World’s fortresses.
• The Azure Source Holy Tower magicians overwhelmed the gorillas’ long-range fire with coordinated magic, and the Wizard World ordered an all-out assault.
• Slave creatures from the Fire Melt Mountain Knights’ Hall charged first, followed by the Centaur Legion and other elite slave troops.
• A Magic Beast Army of more than three million advanced as the core force of the Azure Source Holy Tower and Fire Melt Mountain Knights’ Hall offensive.
• Saine urged the Spiked Green Mushroom King forward as he and nearly two thousand elite Holy Tower magicians prepared to strike the Wild Gorilla defenses at close range.

Saine advanced toward the Wild Gorilla Legion’s steel defenses and discovered that its smaller troops had begun using new weapons that greatly increased their battlefield power. He left the aerial battle’s unknown dangers unresolved as the Spiked Green Mushroom King continued forward behind Wizard World forces.

• Saine rode the Spiked Green Mushroom King through the battlefield toward the Wild Gorilla frontline, while Tourmaline remained away from the war under the protection of Mo Yan and others.
• Saine observed the scarred steel defensive line and saw a small Wild Gorilla or Sub-Ape use a metal box to fire numerous energy beams, killing charging Black Qi Dwarf slaves before it was crushed by Wizard World attacks.
• Saine concluded that the Wild Gorilla Legion’s new weapons could greatly strengthen even its weakest troops and make the Wizard World pay a heavy price.
• Saine looked toward the obscured aerial battlefield but did not dare enter it, while the Spiked Green Mushroom King advanced cautiously behind friendly forces.

Sein and the Wizard World legions advanced against the Wild Gorilla Legion, which unveiled powerful black-sphere cannons that devastated the battlefield. As Wizard World experts counterattacked, a hidden energy beam struck Flood Dragon Mo Yan and sent him crashing toward the ground.

• A Level-5 Gorilla God ordered the Metal Frontline's robots to fire their limited Dwarf Bullets and prepare secret weapons.
• Sein fought near the Metal Frontline with the Spiked Green Mushroom King and Kingfisher, then fled when the Wild Gorilla Legion fired black spheres.
• The explosions killed vast numbers of Wizard World forces and nearly killed Sein, whose companions helped protect him.
• Flood Dragon Mo Yan and other Wizard World experts attacked the Metal Frontline, prompting three Gorilla Gods to appear.
• A light blue Energy Beam pursued Mo Yan despite his attempt to evade it, struck him, and sent his body plummeting from the sky.

The Wizard World Legion counterattacked after the Wild Gorilla Legion’s weapons caused massive losses and knocked Mo Yan from the sky. As Luluenman prepared a forbidden spell and the fighting intensified, Saine heard from Lina that she needed to withdraw and recuperate.

• White Feather Pelican and Giant Squid King rushed toward the fallen Mo Yan, while Milena, O'Neal, and Fenrir engaged the three Ape Gods.
• Milena’s meteor shower struck the Metal Frontline, and O'Neal blasted a breach over seven hundred meters wide through the Wild Gorilla defenses.
• Luluenman ordered the Azure Source Holy Tower’s Space Fortress to fire its main cannon and secondary cannons, while O'Neal sent the Fire Melt Mountain Knights' Hall’s fortress and other artillery to the front.
• Luluenman began chanting a forbidden spell aimed at the Wild Gorilla Legion, forcing the Demigod-level Creatures in the sky to descend.
• Lina told Saine through the Crystal Ball that she needed to withdraw from the battle, and Saine urged her to return and recuperate.

After the Wild Gorilla Legion’s Dwarf Bullet barrage devastated the Wizard World forces, Luluenman’s forbidden spell and the Space Fortresses’ firepower destroyed much of the enemy’s Metal Frontline. Saine then led the Spiked Green Mushroom King and Kingfisher into the charge, racing to join the attack before the fighting was over.

• Saine received Lina’s message and worried about her severe injuries while sensing explosions in neighboring war zones.
• Luluenman began casting a powerful forbidden spell as O'Neal, White Tiger Milena, and Fenrir held back the Wild Gorilla World’s Ape Gods.
• The Wizard World’s cannon-fodder slaves charged the Metal Frontline while Luluenman’s spell built for thirty hourglasses.
• Two Space Fortresses, Light Prism Fortresses, and War Airships joined the attack, and their firepower destroyed much of the Metal Frontline and the Wild Gorilla Legion behind it.
• Saine called for the Spiked Green Mushroom King and Kingfisher to charge as the Fire Melt Mountain Knights and other forces rushed forward.

Saine arrived at the ruined Metal Frontline and used his Blue Fire to melt through a Wild Gorilla fortress, discovering a powerful use for the flame. As he examined the opening, a powerful Wild Gorilla attacked him from within.

• Saine reached the battlefield and saw the Wild Gorilla Legion defending a battered Metal Fortress.
• Saine sent the Spiked Green Mushroom King to help the Wizard World forces smash the fortress.
• Saine remembered Blue Fire's ability to decompose metal and combined it with the properties of his other flames to melt through the fortress's defenses.
• Saine opened a passage nearly four meters into the fortress, impressing the creatures nearby and gaining new insight into his flames.
• A powerful Wild Gorilla swung a broadsword at Saine from the darkness as another attacker stabbed toward his waist.

Saine fought off Wild Gorillas attacking the Metal Fortress with help from the Spiked Green Mushroom King and Kingfisher, then discovered the fortress held valuable Energy Crystals. After the battle, he claimed the largest share of the spoils and ordered his allies to retrieve a specimen and a piece of the fortress alloy for study.

• Saine blocked a Level-3 Wild Gorilla’s attack and knocked aside a second attacker with his Alchemy Heavy Hammer as the Spiked Green Mushroom King and Kingfisher joined the fight.
• Saine discovered that the giant rhinoceros beside him was a Wizard World knight, likely a Level-3 Sky Knight, and told him he was an alchemist.
• The Spiked Green Mushroom King and Kingfisher defeated the Wild Gorillas inside the Metal Fortress, killing many and forcing others to surrender.
• The Wizard World fighters gave Saine the largest share of the spoils because his two Demigod-level allies had handled much of the fighting.
• Saine opened a metal chest filled with Energy Crystals and learned that more chests were stored inside the fortress.
• Saine told the Spiked Green Mushroom King to preserve the heart of the Level-3 Wild Gorilla specimen and bring him a piece of the fortress alloy for study.

Saine helped the Wizard World forces win the Metal Frontline battle, then learned the Azure Source Holy Tower had suffered heavy losses. After returning to the Space Fortress, Luluenman took him to visit his injured senior uncle, Pinas.

• Saine led the Wizard World legions in destroying Metal Fortresses and collected Energy Crystals and Wild Gorilla remains.
• After thirteen days of fighting and pursuit, Saine left the battlefield with Kingfisher while the Spiked Green Mushroom King continued the attack.
• Saine learned that 1,327 Azure Source Holy Tower magicians had lost their vital signs, and Archimedes had prevented Luluenman from wasting more than two hundred thousand Magic Coins on cannon fire.
• Wizard World forces won across the Wild Gorilla World front, inflicting enormous losses and permanently killing twenty-one Gorilla Gods.
• Luluenman told Saine that Pinas had been injured by a blue beam and brought him to visit their senior uncle.

Saine learned that Luluenman’s battlefield forbidden spell, Blazing Sun Core Detonation, was based on Plant Element magic and gained advice about broadening his magical studies. When Luluenman and Saine arrived to visit Pinas, they discovered Pinas in private with the Green Grain Knights' Hall Master, and Luluenman’s arrival interrupted their intimate moment.

• Luluenman explained to Saine that Blazing Sun Core Detonation used specially cultivated seeds and was a Plant Element forbidden spell.
• Luluenman advised Saine to study other schools of magic and explained that Third-Level Great Magicians were valued for their extensive knowledge.
• Luluenman and Saine arrived at Pinas's Space Fortress while Pinas was tending to an injured Green Grain Knights' Hall Master.
• Pinas and the Green Grain Knights' Hall Master grew close as the knight treated Pinas's injuries.
• A visitation message announced Luluenman's arrival and interrupted Pinas and the Green Grain Knights' Hall Master's intimate moment.

Saine and Luluenman visited Pinas in her aging Space Fortress, where Luluenman examined her injuries from the Wild Gorilla Legion’s paralysis ray. Afterward, Luluenman explained how Lady Beleka and the Green Grain Knights’ Hall had joined forces with Pinas’s Off-Ground Light Flame Holy Tower.

• Saine and Luluenman arrived at Pinas’s residence and found Lady Beleka caring for the injured Pinas.
• Pinas told Saine that her disciples Milani and Caesar were on the battlefield and could meet him once they withdrew.
• Luluenman examined Pinas and confirmed that the paralysis ray had caused little lasting damage, though it was dangerous to Level-Four beings in battle.
• Luluenman left Pinas potions and urged her to rest before departing with Saine.
• Luluenman told Saine that Lady Beleka had chosen to establish her Knights’ Hall in the Hotfire Zone despite its poor fit for her Plant Element abilities.

After the Azure Source Holy Tower’s losses, Saine checked on Lina and resumed his experiments. Giant Mermaid Bai Xing arrived in the Wild Gorilla World with a powerful Sea Folk army, giving the Sea Folk a chance to share in the war’s spoils.

• Luluenman oversaw the Azure Source Holy Tower’s postwar affairs and reflected on its heavy losses from the Wild Gorilla Legion’s Dwarf Bullets.
• Saine visited Lina, who was recovering and studying a Mystic System Magic Book from the Secret Language Holy Tower.
• Saine returned to his laboratory, energized by new ideas about wielding Flame Power after activating Blue Fire.
• Bai Xing arrived in the Wild Gorilla World with fifty thousand Sea King Class creatures and several million elite Sea Folk.
• Cuilisi explained that the Flood Dragon’s injury gave the Sea Folk a legitimate reason to join the struggle for the Medium Plane’s profits.
