Chapter Summaries

As the Azure Source Holy Tower prepared to invade the Green Leaf World, Saine considered how the Holy Tower had grown and drawn in the Green Source Land’s independent Magicians. He learned that Luluenman planned to enlist twenty-seven long-established local organizations for the war, which could supply over a thousand Formal Magicians and help integrate them into the Holy Tower.

• Saine reflected on how the Azure Source Holy Tower’s growth and the eventual expiration of local Magicians’ contracts would bring more independent Magicians into its ranks.
• Saine noted that the Azure Source Holy Tower’s three deans were ordinary Third-Level Great Magicians, while nearby Holy Towers employed Demigod-level deans.
• As the Green Leaf World expedition approached, Saine gained access to more of the Azure Source Holy Tower’s high-level decisions.
• Luluenman discussed with Dean Archimedes and the other deans recruiting twenty-seven Magician organizations from the Green Source Land for the war.
• The twenty-seven organizations, many with ancient legacies and dozens or hundreds of Formal Magicians, could provide over a thousand combat reinforcements and ease their future integration into the Azure Source Holy Tower.

Saine reflected on the Azure Source Holy Tower’s expansion into the Green Source Land and Luluenman’s gentle strategy of absorbing local magician organizations. Negotiations with a powerful Magic Family advanced through promised benefits, while Luluenman aimed to unify the region without relying too heavily on others.

• Saine recalled how local magician organizations had once drawn apprentices and resources away from the Azure Source Holy Tower.
• Saine considered how Holy Towers had historically absorbed local forces through either gentle mergers or hardline competition, while wizarding rules protected ordinary magicians.
• Saine learned that a Magic Family led by a Third-Level Great Magician was negotiating to join the Azure Source Holy Tower in exchange for a dean’s title and support for its Formal-Ranked Magicians.
• Luluenman offered local magicians benefits from a Micro Plane, making merger negotiations more harmonious.
• Luluenman chose a Micro Plane war to help unite the Green Source Land without straining the Azure Source Holy Tower or burdening her relatives and mentor.

Saine collected a Small Energy Generator for Yuli from Luluenman and found his mentor anxious about the Azure Source Holy Tower’s planned war against Green Leaf World. After Saine reassured her and discussed the proposed alliances, Luluenman’s mood improved, though Saine left wondering how powerful Tourmaline was.

• Saine collected the Small Energy Generator he had ordered for Yuli and discussed the upgrades he had helped make to her Flame Mark Constructed Magic Puppet.
• Saine asked Luluenman what was troubling her, and she explained her concerns about the risks of attacking Green Leaf World and the Azure Source Holy Tower’s limited resources.
• Saine compared the Holy Tower’s forces with those of the Micro Plane, easing Luluenman’s fears about the war.
• Luluenman said she and Archimedes supported Saine’s plans to cooperate with the Centaur tribes and the lower Sea Folk, while asking whether involving Tourmaline was safe.
• Saine learned that Tourmaline could potentially defeat a weaker Level-4 lifeform and asked Luluenman who was stronger; Luluenman claimed she was.

Azure Source Holy Tower assembled nearly a million troops from the Luna Centaur Clan and allied sea folk for the delayed invasion of Green Leaf World. Luluenman completed the costly teleportation preparations but concluded that acquiring a Space Fortress would make future wars less expensive and more effective.

• The Luna Centaur Clan committed nearly 150,000 centaur warriors and more than 300,000 Minotaur slaves, with another 300,000 troops available in reserve.
• Saine learned that fewer than a thousand centaurs in the deployed force were Rank One or higher, including Luna's Demigod-level ancestor, who would direct the clan's wartime decisions.
• Hai Xi returned to the South Coast with adult Sea Lizardmen and other low-ranking sea folk, forming a coalition army of nearly 300,000.
• Luluenman delayed the Green Leaf World invasion by half a year and spent over a million Magic Coins establishing three major Space Teleportation Arrays and several relays.
• Luluenman remarked that Azure Source Holy Tower needed its own Space Fortress to reduce future transport costs and provide powerful battlefield support.

The Verdant Ancient Banyan warned the Bamboo Dragonfly King that flames would sweep across Green Leaf World after sensing agitation from the Mother Plane Will and a meteor from beyond the heavens. The king recalled how his clan had contained the Extraterritorial Purple Flame after an earlier meteor impact, but the new danger remained unexplained.

• The chapter described Green Leaf World, its varied inhabitants, and the Bamboo Dragonfly Clan's rise as its dominant race.
• The chapter introduced the Verdant Ancient Banyan as the ancient, powerful guardian revered by Green Leaf World's inhabitants.
• The Bamboo Dragonfly King arrived with a large escort after the guardian summoned him from Emerald City.
• The Verdant Ancient Banyan told the king that it had sensed the Essence of Greenery, the Mother Plane Will's agitation, and a meteor from beyond the heavens.
• The Bamboo Dragonfly King compared the warning to the meteor disaster two hundred years earlier and praised his clan's role in extinguishing the Extraterritorial Purple Flame.

The Verdant Ancient Banyan sensed an approaching danger and secured the Bamboo Dragonfly King's promise to rally its people in exchange for Tree Heart Essence. Outside Green Leaf World, Luluenman and Saine's forces established a foothold on a nearby Demiplane, where Luluenman sensed the world's fear.

• The Verdant Ancient Banyan recalled its predecessor's warning about an alien creature who had once summoned away a Level-Two plant.
• The Verdant Ancient Banyan told the Bamboo Dragonfly King that three Bamboo Dragonfly Demigods had failed to reach Level Four and offered Tree Heart Essence if the clan prepared for the unknown crisis.

• The Azure Source Holy Tower's vanguard built fortifications and had Minotaur slaves mine resources on a Demiplane near Green Leaf World.
• Luluenman told Saine and the others that Green Leaf World's inhabitants might have discovered them and that she could sense the Micro Plane's fear.

In the Azure Source Holy Tower, Luluenman and several Third-Level Great Magicians discussed the Green Leaf World war with Maya, a Demigod centaur from the allied Centaur World. Maya recognized the Wizard World's overwhelming strength and her own low status, and she remained silent as the magicians continued their discussion.

• Nine Third-Level Great Magicians, Master Archimedes, and Maya stood with Luluenman in the Magic Tower, underscoring the importance of the Green Leaf World war.
• Maya felt uneasy under the magicians' scrutinizing gazes, which seemed to regard her as a specimen to dissect and study.
• The magicians' disdain and the disparity between the Wizard World and Centaur World made Maya realize that even her Demigod strength offered little advantage before them.
• Maya recalled the Wizard World's victories over Thunderfall World and its superior legions, magic, and military technology.
• Maya understood that she had to obey Luluenman and the Wizard World powerhouses, so she stayed silent while they did most of the talking.

Luluenman briefed the Azure Source Holy Tower magicians on Green Leaf World's Demigod-level defenders and prepared them for the invasion. After the meeting, she offered Saine a Green Source Seed, only to learn he had kept an identical seed unused as a trump card.

• Luluenman said Green Leaf World had five Demigod-level natives, including a guardian in the southeast, and explained the invasion plan to the magicians.
• Old Dean Archimedes advised Luluenman to stay behind, and she confirmed that most of the natives were slow-moving Plant Creatures.
• The magicians grew confident after Luluenman revealed she had prepared two Demigod-level Green Source Seeds to aid the invasion.
• Luluenman kept Saine behind and offered him one of the seeds, but Saine showed her that he had saved an identical seed without using it.
• Saine said he planned to use his Green Source Seed in the Green Leaf World war.

Luluenman attacked the Green Leaf World with Plant Element magic, causing a green sun to appear in its sky. As the world’s creatures faced an approaching crisis, the Bamboo Dragonfly King flew to his clan’s ancestral holy land for help.

• Three days after leaving Luluenman, Luluenman arrived outside the Green Leaf World and began weaving Plant Element power into a green vortex.
• Luluenman pointed her Magic Staff at the Green Leaf World, and a green sun appeared in its sky.
• The Green Leaf World’s native creatures sensed danger, but most were too ignorant and powerless to understand what was happening.
• The Bamboo Dragonfly King recognized the green sun as a threat beyond his strength and flew toward the Mountainous Green Peaks.
• The Bamboo Dragonfly King headed for his clan’s ancestral land, where powerful ancient plant beings and his clan’s Old Ancestors might be found.

The Bamboo Dragonfly King told Lan Xi that the Guardian had warned of an unknown crisis and given him Tree Heart Essence, prompting Lan Xi to mobilize the clan’s forces. Beyond the plane, Luluenman’s Elemental Spike struck the Green Leaf World’s barrier, which began to crack.

• The Bamboo Dragonfly King entered the Bamboo Dragonfly Clan’s sacred hall and met Lan Xi.
• The Bamboo Dragonfly King explained the Guardian’s warning and showed Lan Xi the Tree Heart Essence.
• Lan Xi ordered the Bamboo Dragonfly King to summon the clan’s warriors and allied forces to the royal city.
• Lan Xi began preparations but chose not to disturb Lu Mo, whose lifespan was nearly exhausted.
• Luluenman drove her Elemental Spike into the Green Leaf World’s Plane Barrier, cracking it under the impact.

Luluenman shattered Green Leaf World’s Plane Barrier after its three plant demigods tried to hold it together, and ordered the Azure Source Holy Tower Legion to invade. Maya led the first troops through the breach, followed by Saine’s allies and the Ernst Family knights.

• Verdant Ancient Banyan and two other plant demigods used pillars of Life Force to reinforce Green Leaf World’s Plane Barrier, but Luluenman strengthened her Elemental Spike and broke through it.
• Luluenman opened a hole in the Plane Barrier and declared that the Wizard World Legion would occupy Green Leaf World, ordering all troops to attack.
• Maya led nearly fifty thousand Centaur warriors and more than one hundred thousand Minotaur slaves through the breach as the first invading force.
• Several Level-3 Sky Knights from the Ernst Family and Saine’s allies from the Thunderfall World Battlefield followed the Centaur Legion into Green Leaf World.
• Xia Ya transformed into a Bator Demon and charged at the front of the second wave with a Flame Greatsword.

Azure Source Holy Tower’s forces entered Green Leaf World, where Saine joined the vanguard as the invasion met a massive native defense. The chapter left Saine flying through a dangerous passage littered with Centaur casualties toward the gathered Green Leaf World forces.

• Demigod-level Centaur Maya led 150,000 troops into Green Leaf World, followed by four Level-3 Sky Knights of the Ernst Family and nearly a thousand Formal Magicians, including Saine.
• Azure Source Holy Tower assembled 3,271 participating mages, while nearly a thousand Wizard World knights answered its call, many drawn by the prospect of plunder.
• Good gathered Saine’s former comrades from the Thunderfall World War, and they joined the invasion alongside the Ernst Family knights.
• Saine and the vanguard entered a passage through Green Leaf World’s breached Plane Barrier, formed through Luluenman’s power, as fragments and hurricanes threatened them.
• Saine saw mangled corpses and blood along the passage after the Centaur Legion suffered a major attack from Green Leaf World’s defenders.
• 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.
• Saine passed through the bloody passage into Green Leaf World, where the vanguard continued its advance and the native defenders suffered even greater losses.
• The Azure Source Holy Tower legion descended toward a plain chosen for its fortress base, while Luluenman kept the passage open and summoned more than two thousand magicians to provide long-range fire support.
• Saine fought through the converging defenders and scattered more than ten special seeds given to him by Luluenman before activating his Elemental True Body.
• Centaur demigod Maya battled Bamboo Dragonfly demigod Lan Xi in the sky, and Maya fired a golden arrow from her longbow.

Saine joined the battle in Green Leaf World, where Maya fought the Demigod-level Bamboo Dragonfly Lan Xi while native creatures attacked the Centaur legion. Saine rescued Luna and her guards with a Magic Shield as they waited for outside elemental support.

• Maya and Lan Xi fought to a temporary stalemate, though Maya’s combat experience gave her an advantage as the battle continued.
• Green Leaf World’s native creatures concentrated their assault on Luna, scattering her guards and leaving only about twenty Centaurs near her.
• Saine flew to Luna’s aid, with Yuli staying beside him despite repeated attacks on her Constructed Magic Puppet.
• Saine raised a Magic Shield around Luna and her guard unit, then told them that elemental support from outside the world would arrive soon.

The Azure Source Holy Tower Legion’s magicians devastated the Green Leaf World’s reinforcements with a massive long-range bombardment, allowing the invaders to secure the area around their landing site. 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.
• Fire-element magicians burned insect corpses while Minotaur slaves fed on them, and Centaur and Minotaur groups explored the ruined forests for surviving threats.
• 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.
• With Lan Xi gone, the native creatures' fighting spirit collapsed, and the Azure Source Holy Tower Legion fortified its base with Magic Towers and Plant Monstrosities.
• Luluenman's two Third-Level Great Magicians opened a large Space Gate using a teleportation device from the Commercial Alliance Capecci.
• The Space Gate brought in reinforcements, including Sea Folk, centaurs, Minotaur slaves, and 1,900 participating magicians.
• Saine accepted deployment orders and led an elite force of two thousand west into the forest, where the Sea Lizardmen chieftain saw the four Sea Lizards under Saine's command.

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.
