Chapter Summaries

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.

Tourmaline entered Green Leaf World to join the war, despite the strain her immense life force placed on the Micro Plane. Her sister Bai Xing arranged protection for her while remaining behind, and Tourmaline arrived with a sore head and butt after being pushed through the gate by Luluenman.

• Tourmaline charged through the Spatial Gate after seeing the badly wounded Saine, and Luluenman pushed her into Green Leaf World when she struggled to fit.
• Tourmaline's arrival sent emerald lightning across the sky and strained Green Leaf World's laws.
• Bai Xing saw Tourmaline's departure in a prophetic pearl and asked three relatives to send Demigod-level offspring to protect her.
• Bai Xing prepared to travel to the East Sea to investigate a Time-Space Rift instead of going to Green Leaf World herself.
• Tourmaline rubbed her head and sore butt after squeezing through the gate, while Saine looked up at her enormous form.

Tourmaline reached Green Leaf World and used her Power Law to devastate the western battlefield while confronting Green Pine Earth Cypress. Luluenman warned her to stop before her destructive power damaged the valuable Micro Plane further.

• Tourmaline’s arrival restored the Azure Source Holy Tower Legion’s strength, and Archimedes was relieved that he did not need to activate the Green Source Seed.
• Tourmaline traveled west to avenge Saine and confronted Green Pine Earth Cypress and its remaining Treants.
• Tourmaline struck the ground with her paw, splitting the earth and triggering severe earthquakes through the western region.
• Tourmaline’s Power Law also caused a distant eastern seafloor collapse, which Luluenman noticed from outside the plane.
• Luluenman contacted Tourmaline, Saine, and the Azure Source Holy Tower Legion to warn Tourmaline against using such destructive attacks, and Tourmaline stopped.

Bixi charged Green Pine Earth Cypress, endured its strongest attack, and toppled the demigod-level tree with brute force, leaving it alive but beaten. As Saine gathered materials from the fallen tree, three enormous Sea King Class demigods arrived at the Azure Source Holy Tower camp and joined the fight against Green Leaf World's insect forces.

• Green Pine Earth Cypress launched a life-risking energy attack at Bixi, but she blocked it with her shell without slowing down.
• Bixi grabbed Green Pine Earth Cypress and shoved the giant tree over, snapping parts of its roots and trunk.
• Saine left his stretcher, watched the battle with Serena and Nataya, and began collecting materials from Green Pine Earth Cypress after its defeat.
• Three enormous Sea King Class demigods—a crab, a shellfish, and a sea eel—arrived at the Azure Source Holy Tower Central Fortress Camp.
• The three Sea King Class creatures joined the battle against the Bamboo Leaf Dragonfly Legion and other insect forces.

Archimedes led a surprise assault that shattered Green Leaf World’s million-strong legion, leaving its defenders unable to stop the Azure Source Holy Tower Legion’s advance. Saine returned to the Central Fortress and went to study the Purple Flame Meteorites gathered for his research.

• Archimedes used Luluenman’s Green Source Seed to assemble Plant, Centaur, and Minotaur forces and attack the Bamboo Dragonfly Clan’s legion.
• The invaders routed Green Leaf World’s million-strong legion, grievously wounded Lan Xi, killed the Bamboo Dragonfly King, and brought down Green Pine Earth Cypress.
• Archimedes reported his actions to Luluenman, who praised him and predicted the war would end within five years.
• Saine left Luluenman and hurried to his assigned Magic Tower, where he found a large supply of Purple Flame Meteorites for his research.

Saine spent his recovery period conducting experiments in his laboratory, discovering an orange flame formed by combining purple Undying Fire and green Azure Burning Fire particles. He planned to keep researching and helping Yuli repair her magic puppet while his attendants cared for him, leaving him safe from the front lines for now.

• Saine observed purple Undying Fire and green Azure Burning Fire particles merge into an orange flame and stored the result as an Orange Fusion Fire Seed.
• Saine moved on to Body Tempering and planned further alchemy, plant-material, and potionology experiments instead of continuing to study the purple flame.
• Saine noted that Yuli needed his help repairing minor problems with her Constructed Magic Puppet and incorporated the repair into his alchemy research.
• The Little Fox Girl brought Saine invigorating plant juice and helped Yuli tidy the laboratory between his experiments.
• Serena left to carry out a low-risk fortress garrison mission, while the Little Fox Girl and Yuli continued supporting Saine and the Pink-Tailed Mermaid cooked for him.

Saine asked the Little Fox Girl about her cultivation and learned that her practice had awakened a new energy, then reviewed the progress of his other female slaves. Yuli announced that the preparations were complete, and Saine went to begin a Body Tempering Experiment.

• Saine asked the Little Fox Girl about her cultivation, and she said a special energy had appeared within her body.
• The Little Fox Girl said Aragon had sensed the changes, and Saine considered how her Shaman Priest cultivation was progressing.
• Saine reflected that Ilisa was close to advancing to Rank One but had not asked him for help with a breakthrough.
• Yuli told Saine that the preparations were ready, and Saine went to the Laboratory Table to conduct a Body Tempering Experiment.

After six months in the laboratory, Saine returned to a Green Leaf World where the Azure Source Holy Tower’s advantage had grown and was assigned to the eastern battlefield. Meanwhile, the Bamboo Dragonfly King told Lan Xi that the Guardian had reported changes in the Northern Lands, leaving the reason unknown.

• The Maya Tribe committed more centaurs and Minotaur slaves to the war, and Luluenman promised it a larger share of the postwar gains for choosing the Azure Source Holy Tower’s side.
• Saine went to the Combat Command for an assignment and encountered Xia Ya, whom he resented for encouraging Nataya’s earlier advances on him.
• Xia Ya made an excuse to leave after Saine treated her coldly, and Saine flew east to join the offensive against Green Leaf World’s native creatures.
• In Bamboo Dragonfly Royal City, the Bamboo Dragonfly King told Lan Xi that the Guardian had sent two more drops of Tree Heart Essence and warned of changes in the Northern Lands.

As the Azure Source Holy Tower Legion overwhelmed Green Leaf World's Northern Battlefield, the Demigod-level Blazing Sun Flower surrendered alongside most of the north's Plant Element beings and Insect Creatures. Its surrender ended organized resistance in the north and brought the war another step closer to conclusion.

• The Centaur and Minotaur Legions drove Green Leaf World's northern defenders back across the grasslands and into the Gobi.
• Blazing Sun Flower chose surrender after recognizing that Green Leaf World could no longer win and that its forces had suffered devastating losses.
• More than eighty percent of the northern Homeland Beings accepted Blazing Sun Flower's proposal, while some fled southeast and others fought to the death.
• After the last northern resistance was crushed, Blazing Sun Flower signed Luluenman's Rule Contract by scattering pollen over it.
• Luluenman welcomed Blazing Sun Flower into the Azure Source Holy Tower Legion's custody, and the Northern Battlefield's fighting temporarily ended.
