Chapter Summaries

Ryan discovered that the Illusionary Layer contained dozens of replicated Dream Corners corresponding to the Ant-man settlement, suggesting that an unknown Dream Wizard had tampered with it. He and Wizard Umbraly Light decided to investigate the nearby region in secret, while Ryan recognized the phenomenon as a chance for Foam World to advance.

• Ryan followed Dream Power through more than thirty identical Ant-man Dream Corners and became alarmed by their vast extent.
• Ryan traveled to the next Dream Corner’s corresponding location in Reality and confirmed that only one Ant-man Burrow Settlement existed there.
• Ryan told Wizard Umbraly Light that the Dream Corners were replicas created from a real settlement, possibly by a Star Wizard or a distant Wizard Force.
• Ryan warned that the unknown force might threaten the Heart of War, and he and Wizard Umbraly Light agreed to conceal themselves and investigate Real Earth and the Shadow World.
• Ryan kept his suspicion that the Ant-man Race was unusual and saw the Dream Corner phenomenon as a chance to advance Foam World.

Ryan and Wizard Umbraly Light explored settlements of several strange races and uncovered signs that an outside force was manipulating their Dream Spaces. Ryan discovered that the settlements anchored a colossal dream-powered sword being nurtured as a Level 3 Ascended Wizard Artifact, leaving them facing the prospect of war and an extraordinary opportunity.

• Ryan and Wizard Umbraly Light found a civilization of Stone People among barren mountains and observed aquatic creatures and another race with its own settlement.
• Wizard Umbraly Light questioned why many civilizations had gathered in the Mountain Sea Land, and Ryan explained that their Dream Corners were replicated and developed along different paths.
• Ryan concluded that the settlements’ strange arrangement involved outside interference and warned that it could lead to war as well as an unprecedented opportunity.
• Using the Eye of Truth, Ryan saw that the settlements’ corresponding Dream Corners formed a pattern of special anchors throughout the Dream Space.
• The anchors joined into a formation that revealed a colossal Cross Longsword nourished by the dreams, pasts, and futures of the civilizations; Ryan recognized it as a Level 3 Ascended Wizard Artifact being nurtured.

Ryan concluded that an unknown Wizard Force had hidden the incomplete Dream Sword in the White Mist Area, using settlements in reality and illusion to nourish it while keeping it safe. He decided to seize the sword for himself, accepting that doing so would inevitably start a war.

• Ryan and Wizard Umbraly Light discussed how the Dream Sword drew power from numerous trapped race and civilization settlements, and Umbraly estimated that at least a hundred supported it.
• Ryan reasoned that the White Mist Area was a secure rear base where an unknown Wizard Force could nurture the sword beyond the reach of powerful forces in Frost Snow Land.
• Ryan explained that wizard arrays linked the settlements across illusion and reality, feeding the sword in a deeper layer of Dream Space.
• Ryan identified the sword as the remnant of a failed attempt to become a Level 3 Dream Wizard and said someone wanted to restore it while others would oppose its existence.
• Ryan declared that he wanted the Dream Sword to advance the Foam World and help him approach the Radiant Moon realm, and Wizard Umbraly Light agreed that war was unavoidable.

Ryan and Wizard Umbraly Light investigated the Pale Hand’s territory and found signs of a weakened, resource-draining force that had not noticed the Heart of War. After returning from the White Mist Area, Ryan had learned the Illusory Sword’s name: “Nightmare Dream.”

• Ryan argued that the Pale Hand was unlikely to possess a Radiant Moon-level power and proposed using the Dream Sword and the White Mist Area as leverage in a conflict.
• Ryan and Wizard Umbraly Light entered the Dragon Lake Kingdom, where they found cities with unusually thin Natural Particle Energy and no visible Wizard infrastructure.
• The Dragon Lake King recognized the visitors as Wizards, but Ryan and Wizard Umbraly Light disappeared before his people could meet them.
• Galio Solomon celebrated the birth of Solomon the Divine Child and planned to prepare him for a test arranged by Wizard Autumn Winter.
• Half a month later, Ryan and Wizard Umbraly Light emerged from the White Mist Area having identified the hidden force as the Pale Hand and learned that the Illusory Sword was named “Nightmare Dream.”

Ryan and Wizard Umbraly Light investigated the Pale Hand and its broken Level 3 Ascended Wizard Artifact, Nightmare Dream, before returning through the White Mist Area toward the Heart of War. As they descended to investigate a Bone Mountain, Ryan noticed something alive trembling at its edge.

• Sky Curtain Wizard and Blood Moon Wizard discussed the Pale Hand's effort to repair Nightmare Dream and agreed to keep the Forbidden Area undisturbed.
• Ryan assessed the Pale Hand's strength and considered taking Nightmare Dream, while planning to accelerate the Heart of War's development.
• Ryan and Wizard Umbraly Light ended their investigation, ate in a Wizard Mansion, and began traveling back through the White Mist Area.
• At around Eight Thousand Meters Altitude, Wizard Umbraly Light offered to take over, but Ryan continued descending as part of his plan.
• Ryan spotted a new Bone Mountain and noticed something alive trembling at its edge.

Ryan and Wizard Umbraly Light investigated a moving Bone Mountain in the White Mist Area and discovered its green Phosphorus Fires were dormant Soul Individuals with power on the Radiant Moon Wizard level. As they fled after Ryan’s Eye of Truth transformed and caused him agonizing pain, he saw a vision of his own death.

• Ryan and Wizard Umbraly Light moved closer to Bone Mountain after seeing its outline tremble in the White Mist.
• Ryan’s analysis revealed that the green Phosphorus Fires were numerous dormant Soul Individuals, each possessing immense Soul Power.
• Ryan considered using the Soul Individuals to strengthen the Eye of Truth or create powerful Wizard Artifacts, but sudden pain struck his eyes.
• Wizard Umbraly Light carried the weakened Ryan away from Bone Mountain while his Eye of Truth transformed and his physical vitality changed.
• Ryan saw images of his own death and realized his transformed Eye of Truth could reveal the future.

Ryan’s Eye of Truth transformed after he foresaw two likely deaths while investigating Bone Ground and Bone Mountain, revealing that both were far beyond his current ability to explore. After he and Wizard Umbraly Light left the White Mist Area, powerful Supernatural Lifeforms in Battle Canyon noticed them and began plotting to seize their method of crossing the Death White Mist and drive humans out.

• Ryan foresaw that touching a withered bone would overwhelm him with resentment and kill him, while disturbing Bone Mountain would let its powerful souls destroy him.
• Ryan awoke as the Eye of Truth completed its transformation, gaining enhanced analysis, simulations, database recording, and the ability to see ten seconds into his own future.
• Ryan told Wizard Umbraly Light that every Green Phosphorus Fire on Bone Mountain was at least a Radiant Moon Wizard-level Soul Body and warned that no Wizard or Wizard Force in Frost Snow Land could challenge the area.
• Ryan and Wizard Umbraly Light flew out of the White Mist Area toward Battle Canyon, where several powerful Supernatural Lifeforms saw them and wondered how they had survived the Death White Mist.
• The Black Tiger, White Snake, Ox-shaped Creature, and other gathered creatures agreed to unite against the humans, obtain their way through the Death White Mist, and claim the benefits of eating human Supernatural Lifeforms.

Ryan learned that the War Fortress had devoured the Martial World and gained a self-contained World Space, while Andersen prepared to replace a young wizard and take control of the Primordial Land. The chapter ended with Andersen noticing that the Online Areas had shifted from their former positions and planning to unlock their restraints.

• Ryan ordered Wizard Umbraly Light to investigate the canyon thoroughly, eliminate unruly Beast Kings, and record Rank 1 Supernatural Creatures.
• King of Hanging told Ryan that the War Fortress had consumed the Martial World, creating a World Space and yielding enough materials for about twelve Legendary Heart Potions and fifty Legendary Blood Potions.
• Ryan considered how the new World Space could support wizard training, provide resources, and serve as an emergency energy reserve for the War Fortress.
• Dianna brought a captured descendant of Lord Mammoth Wizard to Andersen, who planned to use the young man's body and identity to infiltrate and control the Primordial Land.
• Andersen told Dianna to grow stronger and seek resources at the Online Areas, then noted that their positions had changed and said they needed to unlock the Space-Nature Rule's restraints.

Ryan refined ten portions of Legendary Heart Potion and prepared Heart of War for sweeping reforms as it faced threats from both the Pale Hand and a coming Beast Tide. He then consumed all ten potions at once, leaving his body and the Foam World trembling with surging power.

• Ryan finished refining the Legendary Heart Potion, obtaining ten portions after losing two batches of materials.
• Ryan convened Heart of War’s Wizards, and Wizard Umbraly Light showed them what she had discovered about the Pale Hand beyond the White Mist Area.
• Ryan announced that Heart of War’s rules and systems would be reformed in one week and revealed that four Rank 2 Supernatural Creature Kings planned to lead a Beast Tide against them.
• Ryan ordered Heart of War to prepare for the Beast Tide without relying on the War Fortress, which was occupied with devouring the Martial World.
• Ryan drank all ten portions of Legendary Heart Potion at once, and the power surging through him shook the Foam World.

Ryan endured three days of destruction and rebirth fueled by ten doses of Legendary Heart Potion, transforming his body into a Primal Force Path Wizard Body and dramatically increasing his power. Meanwhile, the Nether Sword flew from Polaris toward the Nightmare Tower, and Ryan emerged with his Physical Talent resolved.

• The Nightmare Ancient Tree shed leaves throughout the Foam World as Ryan's breakthrough stirred the world and alarmed its inhabitants.
• Polaris felt the Nether Sword respond to Ryan's power, lost control of it, and watched it vanish toward the Nightmare Tower.
• Ryan used the Foam World's Nightmare Extinguishing Dream Power to balance the Annihilation Fire with the potion's restorative force as his body repeatedly died and regenerated.
• After three days, Ryan completed his transformation, shedding impurities and gaining a stronger body and True Spirit Power.
• Ryan reviewed his new status, saw his Spiritual Power rise from 122 to 160, and identified his newly unified Physical Talents as the Primal Force Path Wizard Body.

Ryan realized the Primal Force Path Wizard Body could let him create a powerful new human bloodline and envisioned a three-part Wizard path balancing reality, illusion, and balance. His deduction left him with a clearer future direction but not enough knowledge to confirm how to break through to Rank 4.

• Ryan understood that his Primal Force Path power could be inherited by descendants and create a new human race whose bloodline grew stronger with him.
• Ryan considered creating an Illusory Wizard Body to complement his Reality Layer body and concluded that his path required three Wizard Bodies.
• Ryan entered a deep deduction, envisioning a Legendary path he called Trinity and identifying the Reality Layer Wizard Body with the Force Path.
• The Eye of Truth warned Ryan that his Mental Power and Life Energy were being depleted, while its analyses rapidly advanced.
• Ryan stopped his deduction before it killed him, acknowledging that he still lacked the foundation to verify a Rank 4 breakthrough.

Ryan reviewed his research priorities and prepared the Wizards in Frost Snow Land for an approaching war before traveling alone into the Starry Forest. He left Harak flying overhead as he began surveying the forest to choose a direction for his Foam World's expansion.

• Ryan assessed his increased computational power and planned research into Rules, the War Fortress, and Night Moon Elves.
• Ryan left the Nightmare Tower after learning that the Four Beasts had begun to move, and ordered Wizard Umbraly Light to issue the planned Wizard Missions.
• Ryan stepped into the void and walked alone through the Starry Forest, observing its ecology and reflecting on the importance of balance.
• Harak flew over the forest as nearby Dream Creatures fled, and Ryan began surveying the area for his Foam World's upcoming expansion.

Ryan tested the Harak Creature Possession Armament, completing its first resonance stage and advancing his experiments to the second. At the Blood Lake in the Starry Forest, a powerful Dream Creature attacked him, and Ryan prepared to fight back.

• Ryan bonded with Harak as the Harak Ring, completing the first stage of resonance with his Primal Force Path Wizard Body.
• Ryan continued into the Starry Forest and found that the Harak Ring's field could detect nearby targets and stabilize his Dreamscape State.
• Ryan discovered a vast Blood Lake rich in concentrated Dream Power and considered moving some of its water to the Foam World.
• Ryan stopped at the lake rather than enter the unfamiliar Core Area, then recognized that a hostile Dream Creature beneath the water was preparing to attack.
• The Dream Creature sent a swarm of Flesh Tentacles at Ryan, and he clenched his left hand to summon it out without risking damage to his property.

Ryan used his Primal Force Path Wizard Body to immobilize and destroy the Rank 2 Dream Creature in the Blood Lake. He left Harak to devour it and strengthen the Blood Lord’s rule-based power.

• Ryan froze the Flesh Tentacles and offered the Blood Lake creature a chance to reveal the Starry Forest’s secrets in exchange for joining his Foam World.
• The creature struggled against Ryan’s control, so he reversed and amplified its force, bursting its tentacles and devastating the Blood Lake and surrounding ground.
• Ryan sent Harak into the lake to devour the helpless creature and replenish the Blood Lord’s power.
• The creature tried to crush Harak with Mental Power, but Ryan’s domain suppressed the attack, and Harak tore into the creature and began eating it alive.

Ryan learned about the Starry Forest and chose it as the Foam World’s next territory, then returned to the Heart of War to begin replacing the Divine Blood Wizard’s body with the Machine God Wizard’s mechanical body. The surgery began with Ryan preparing to remove the Divine Blood Wizard’s head.

• Harak devoured the Blood Dragon and shared its memories with Ryan, revealing information about the surrounding regions and their Dream Creatures.
• Ryan decided to expand the Foam World into the Starry Forest to gain access to its Dream Power resources.
• Ryan left the Dream World and returned to the Heart of War, where Wizard Autumn Winter reported that the Machine God Wizard Body Replacement Experiment was ready.
• Ryan and the Divine Blood Wizard began the planned surgery, with Ryan taking control of the instruments and preparing to remove the Divine Blood Wizard’s head.

The Tiger King rallied the Southern Region’s Supernatural Lifeforms for a coordinated war against the outsiders, set to begin in one week. Meanwhile, Ryan confirmed the Divine Blood Wizard’s successful fusion with the Machine God Wizard’s Mechanical Heart and prepared the Heart of War for full-scale militarization.

• The Tiger King declared that the Supernatural Lifeforms had to kill the outsiders to reclaim their territory and resources and avenge their fallen kin.
• The Tiger King announced that the kings of the East, North, and West would join the attack, which would begin one week later.
• The Divine Blood Wizard tested the Mechanical Heart in the Laboratory and found that it let him wield the power of a formal Wizard and briefly reach Star Wizard strength in the Overload State.
• Ryan congratulated the Divine Blood Wizard on the successful experiment, and the Divine Blood Wizard credited Ryan with helping him fuse with the Machine God Wizard’s heart and mechanical parts.
• Ryan announced the full-scale militarization of the Heart of War and said the Wizards below would face the trials of real war.

Ryan developed the Dreamscape Reality Replacement Plan while overseeing the Martial World and preparing a trial in a newly discovered world. As the Beast King's Calamity approached, a deafening roar broke the unnatural silence across the Canyon.

• Ryan reviewed his plans for the war against the Pale Hand, resolved to pursue the sword it supported, and began devising the Dreamscape Reality Replacement Plan.
• Ryan visited Sanhe City and the Heavenly Devouring Dynasty, where he learned that twenty candidates had been selected for the next Nightmare Calamity screening and twelve had Wizard Aptitude.
• Ryan told two Calamity Members that they could explore the New World, and set the Calamity Trial to begin in one month.
• Ganta and Wen Luo agreed to work together in the New World and bind their partnership with a Wizard Contract.
• A deafening roar sounded over the Canyon after its creatures had fallen eerily silent.

The Supernatural Lifeforms of the Canyon launched a massive assault on Heart of War, led by powerful King Beasts from each region. The Wizard Array shield rose to protect the headquarters and surrounding areas as the guardians prepared to hold their positions.

• A Wizard Apprentice witnessed the Twin-headed Chimera and countless Supernatural Lifeforms emerge from the clouds to attack the Heart of War.
• The Divine Blood Wizard rallied the defenders and activated the Wizard Array, forming an Energy Shield around Heart of War Headquarters, the mortals’ regions, and several Resource Areas.
• A towering tiger appeared in the south, and Polaris formed a gigantic Nether Sword from Purple Nether Fire to confront it.
• Wizard Umbraly Light faced Soul Guduoyin, the six-winged serpent King Beast of the west, while Wizard Apprentices stood ready beneath the shield.
• Ryan guarded the eastern region from a tower deep in the Primeval Forest’s Uninhabited Zone, where Supernatural Lifeforms surrounded the position.

Ryan faced the King of Mountains as the beast attacked the wizard array and its defenders. Ryan summoned the Nether Puppet, which met the King of Mountains in a devastating clash and left the beast shocked that an inanimate object had withstood its Force Path.

• The King of Mountains shattered a mountain and led a horde of Supernatural Lifeforms toward the High Tower, while Ryan watched from above.
• Withered Wood Wizard warned the Wizard Apprentices that the array could fail under the assault and urged them to be ready to fight.
• The King of Mountains struck the Ripple Shield with three waves of Blood Light, draining a quarter of its Energy Storage and cracking the shield.
• The wizard array slowed and weakened the attackers, and Ryan summoned the Nether Puppet, which froze thousands of Supernatural Lifeforms with Nether Fire.
• The Nether Puppet and the King of Mountains exchanged powerful blows that devastated the battlefield, and the King of Mountains was stunned that the puppet had withstood its Force Path.

Ryan watched the Heart of War battle the Beast Tide while considering how to use the Supernatural Lifeforms as research and resources. He suspected a hidden mastermind had driven the creatures to attack and finally detected suspicious Lord Beasts near Wizard Umbraly Light’s checkpoint.

• The Nether Puppet fought the King of Mountains, briefly driving it back and helping the Wizard Array Shield hold against its attacks.
• Supernatural Lifeforms swarmed the defenses as Wizards fought to protect the Heart of War, and Ryan considered studying their bloodlines, bodies, and souls.
• Ryan observed that the Beast Tide’s stated motives made little sense and concluded that a third party had influenced the creatures.
• Ryan searched the battle with the Black and White True Eyes but found no anomaly at the other Guard Towers.
• Ryan noticed several Lord Beasts lurking at the rear of the beast pack near Wizard Umbraly Light’s checkpoint, where she was fighting Soul Doguin.
