Chapter Summaries

The Blizzard Period began spreading across the Frost Snow Land, threatening Wizard Forces, Mortal Nations, and plans to extend the Illusory Bubble Great Array. As Wizard Umbraly Light and Wizard Ethan confronted a strange blue light in the storm, the chapter also revealed a gigantic High Tower at the center of the Frost Snow Land.

• The Blizzard Period’s freezing winds and snow spread across the Frost Snow Land, destabilizing Natural Particle Energy Tidal Waves and threatening settlements and Wizard resources.
• Wizard Umbraly Light and Wizard Ethan discussed preparations for the storm and how it could hinder their plan to extend the Illusory Bubble Great Array through living nodes.
• Wizard Umbraly Light detected something in the storm, expanded her Particle Energy Shield around Wizard Ethan, and reacted to blue light scattering from the clouds.
• At the center of the Frost Snow Land, a gigantic High Tower stood amid dense energy conduits and faint blue particle ripples.

The Frost Snow High Tower council debated how to respond to the approaching Blizzard Period, while Ryan learned that the storm threatened wizard forces and ordered the Conquest Tower to prepare. The blizzard was still only a harbinger, but Battle Canyon risked being buried when it fully arrived.

• The representatives of the Crimson Academy, Heart of the Lighthouse, Winter World, Eternal Blazing Sun, and Sky-Reaching High Tower debated whether to prepare for the Blizzard Period and protect weaker wizard forces.
• Ryan saw snow and ice pass through the Conquest Tower's Wizard Array and asked about the Blizzard Period.
• King of Hanging told Ryan that Wind Snow Spirits and Elemental Elves gathered around energy and supernatural beings, where they could drain energy and kill wizards.
• Ryan ordered all formal wizards back to headquarters, called a war meeting, issued a Level Two Alert, and directed apprentices, Wizard Families, and Wizard Cities to prepare for mobilization.
• Ryan sealed the gap in the Wizard Array as the headquarters remained warm, while the data suggested the coming blizzard could bury Battle Canyon.

Ryan considered how the unprecedented Blizzard Period would disrupt the Heart of War and his plans to erode the Pale Hand, then returned to researching Rule Fragments and set a five-hundred-year deadline to reach Rank 3 Radiant Moon Wizard. The chapter ended as the War Conference began, with Wizard Umbraly Light and Wizard Ethan bringing important intelligence about Elemental Spirits.

• Ryan concluded that the Blizzard Period threatened Battle Canyon and would force him to stop transporting living nodes, delaying his plan to erode the Pale Hand.
• Ryan entered the Rule Fragment Recombination Fusion Lab and examined Harak's Heart, the Book of Myriad Phenomena, and the dormant natives prepared for his experiments.
• Ryan considered how Rule Fragments might recombine and set himself the goal of becoming a Rank 3 Radiant Moon Wizard within five hundred years, before the Starry Wars Assembly.
• Wizard Umbraly Light and Wizard Ethan returned to headquarters with important information and intelligence concerning Elemental Spirits as the War Conference began.

After hearing Umbraly Light’s report about the Elemental Spirits, Ryan set plans to study them and exploit the Blizzard Period to advance the Illusory Bubble Plan. He then went to the Foam World to prepare for the coming Calamity of Dreams.

• Umbraly Light reported that more than a thousand Elemental Spirits could drain Life Energy, paralyze consciousness, and create dangerously cold conditions.
• Ethan showed images of the Elemental Spirits, and Divine Blood Wizard urged the Wizards to capture some for research.
• Ryan ordered the Wizards to maintain the Illusory Bubble Plan, study the Elemental Spirits, and prepare concealed and defensive Wizard Arrays for the Blizzard Period.
• Ryan considered using Elemental Spirits as mobile nodes to expand the Illusory Bubble Great Array, prioritizing the erosion of the Pale Hand’s territory.
• Ryan went to the Foam World, where Black King confirmed that preparations to face the Calamity of Dreams were complete.

Ryan used the Nightmare Ancient Tree and the Eye of Truth to assess threats to the Foam World, then ordered Black King to watch the nearby regions and keep its Wizards inside the boundary until after the Blizzard Period. The Blizzard Period began in the Frost Snow Land as Ice Snow Spirits descended and froze everything in their path.

• Ryan merged with the Nightmare Ancient Tree and sensed the Dream World, the Foam World, and possible attacks from Dream Creatures in four surrounding regions.
• Ryan used the Eye of Truth to predict that the lake and Starry Forest posed the greatest threats, while the north posed the least.
• Ryan told Black King to monitor the lake, Starry Forest, and southern mountains, keep Wizards and Dream Wizards within the Foam World, and work with Kun against ordinary threats.
• Ice Snow Spirits descended on the Frost Snow Land, draining life from its creatures and freezing the land as the Blizzard Period began.

As the Blizzard Period began, Aixi and Fan Sheng discussed whether to intervene and the competing Wizard Forces’ candidates for the Starry Wars Assembly. In Primordial Land, the White Death Storm threatened Primordial City, where Dianna, Gray, and a black-robed figure prepared for the disaster and its aftermath.

• Aixi refused to intervene in Frost Snow Land’s Blizzard Period, saying the world’s natural balance had to take its course.
• Fan Sheng and Aixi discussed their forces’ candidates for the Starry Wars Assembly and agreed to talk again after the Blizzard Period.
• A White Death Storm swept toward Primordial City, and its defenders activated the Wizard Formation to shield the city.
• Dianna watched the approaching storm with Gray as the black-robed figure warned that the worst days were still ahead.

Wizard Ethan and the Wizards at Heart of War Headquarters powered up the Wizard Array to withstand the Blizzard Period’s first assault, and its shield successfully repelled the storm. Divine Blood Wizard then arrived at Ryan’s office after receiving an urgent message from King of Hanging.

• Wizard Ethan activated the Wizard Array at full capacity, forming a layered shield around Heart of War Headquarters.
• Ice Snow Spirits and Wind Snow Spirits battered the shield with storms and tornadoes, but the Wizard Array held through the first wave.
• Apprentice Wizards grew calmer as they watched the Spirits fail to break through the shield.
• Wizard Umbraly Light chose not to leave the shield to kill Wind Snow Spirits and trusted Lord Nightmare Wizard’s arrangements.
• Divine Blood Wizard flew to Ryan’s office and said King of Hanging had sent an urgent message.

Ryan hurried to prepare for the Dream Calamity, which was approaching before the Blizzard Period, and tested whether Solomon the Divine Child could become a Dream Wizard. Solomon survived the test and received basic Dream Wizard teachings, while Ryan remained in the Foam World as the threat drew nearer.

• Ryan learned that the Dream Calamity would arrive sooner than expected and ordered Divine Blood Wizard to prepare automated weapons capable of threatening Star Wizards.
• Ryan suspected that restless Dream Creatures might soon launch a Beast Tide and watched Evil God Gendas for signs of their reaction.
• Ryan tested Solomon the Divine Child's Dream Wizard potential by giving him a Feather Pen that appeared as a hostile supernatural bird amid distortions and colored lines.
• Solomon the Divine Child's Blue Symbol protected him, destroyed the creature, and carried him through a void into Ryan's Foam World.
• Ryan judged Solomon the Divine Child capable of pursuing the Dream Wizard path and gave him the book Basic Illusory Dream and instructions to master its foundational techniques.
• Solomon the Divine Child returned to the Blizzard Period in the Conquest Tower, while Ryan concluded his preliminary tests of the Blue Symbol.

Ryan studied the Rule Power connected to Solomon the Divine Child and found that copying Solomon’s body could not reproduce his soul-bound powers. He then began dissecting a Snow Spirit to investigate its nature and potential use in the Illusory Bubble Great Array.

• Ryan examined Solomon the Divine Child’s Rule Power and considered its connection to his bloodline.
• Ryan used a strand of Solomon’s hair to create a copy, then concluded that bodily replication could not reproduce Rule Power, talents, or the original’s consciousness.
• Ryan decided to pursue another path to understanding Rule Power while waiting for his Split Body to return.
• Ryan prepared a Snow Spirit for dissection, hoping to learn whether the spirits could be controlled or used to extend the Illusory Bubble Great Array.

Ryan experimented on a Snow Spirit with a reagent made from Harak’s Blood Authority, but the Snow Spirit’s corruption produced powerful Rule Power that even Harak could no longer control. He shut down the laboratory, yet the transformation continued, leaving him facing an escalating and unpredictable crisis.

• Ryan examined the Snow Spirit’s unusual nature and explained how its qualities of Illusion and Reality related to a Wizard’s True Spirit and Rule Power.
• Ryan applied a gray-black reagent made from Harak’s Blood Authority to test the Snow Spirit’s connection to Rule Power.
• King of Hanging warned Ryan that the Snow Spirit might lose control, while a Rune Spell repeatedly foretold that the experiment was turning harmful.
• Ryan stopped the experiment and shut down the laboratory, but the reagent continued corroding the Snow Spirit.
• Ryan sensed that the transformed reagent contained powerful Rule Power and learned that Harak was losing control of it.
• Ryan watched the Snow Spirit’s transformation continue in the darkness and realized he could not bear the consequences if it continued.

Ryan tried to stop the Snow Spirit’s transformation after it absorbed Harak’s Rule Power, using his Primal Force Path Wizard Body to intervene. Far away, the Council of Stars discussed the anomaly, and the Red Lotus Wizard decided to visit the Initial Starfield for the upcoming Starry Wars Assembly.

• Ryan’s ten-finger Fission Death Ray failed to affect the Snow Spirit, which continued absorbing Harak’s essence and transforming.
• Ryan activated his Primal Force Path Wizard Body and used its power to reach the Snow Spirit at a microscopic level.
• Ryan unleashed a burst of white light, and the Laboratory collapsed.
• In a distant starfield, the Council of Stars discussed the unusual fluctuation and recalled an earlier calamity caused by Hera.
• The Red Lotus Wizard said the fluctuation had been contained and set out for the Initial Starfield to gather fresh members at the Starry Wars Assembly.

Andersen sensed that someone had disturbed the Wizard World's Balanced Cycle Rule and worried it would disrupt his plans. After Ryan's experiment with the Snow Spirit ended in destruction, he used King of Hanging's information to infer the rule's nature and recognized that the experiment had yielded valuable research.

• Andersen realized the Balanced Cycle Rule had been disturbed and feared the Web or the Council of Stars might notice, jeopardizing his plans.
• Andersen considered abandoning his current strategy and preparing a second path if events made his plans impossible.
• Ryan's attempt to suppress the Snow Spirit's contamination reached a stalemate, and the contaminated force threatened to spread.
• King of Hanging sent Ryan crucial information, and Ryan moved the laboratory into the War Fortress's World Space to stop the experiment's final stage.
• Ryan concluded that the Balanced Cycle Rule was tied to the Wizard World Mother Planet's cyclical power and that only a Daybreak Wizard could influence it.
• Ryan recognized that the destroyed laboratory had still produced data that could advance the Illusory Bubble Plan and his Wizard Plan, and he asked King of Hanging to handle the laboratory.

Ryan reflected on the danger of interfering with the Balanced Cycle Rule and spent ten years preparing the Foam World for the delayed Calamity of Dreams. He decided to face the coming tribulation with his own strength, hoping to protect his Wizard Force and learn more about the Dream World.

• Ryan concluded that capturing Snow Spirits risked disastrous consequences, but planned to use them as concealed cover for expanding the Foam Great Array.
• Ten years later, the Divine Blood Wizard inspected the Wizard Array as the Blizzard Period continued to bury Battle Canyon in snow.
• Ryan reviewed the Blizzard Period records and sent the Divine Blood Wizard into the Foam World for an inspection.
• Ryan realized his premonitions about the Calamity of Dreams had been delayed and warned that the aura of Evil God Gendas might not protect the Foam World when it arrived.
• Ryan resolved to face the coming tribulation with the preparations, trump cards, War Fortress, and Wizard Force he had built up over the past decade.

Ryan reviewed the Divine Blood Wizard’s preparations for the Foam World’s Calamity of Dreams and considered what fortune might follow if the world survived. Years later, he and his collaborators completed a generator designed to guide Wind Snow Spirits and speed up the Virtual-Real Replacement Wizard Array.

• The Divine Blood Wizard explained how she had changed the Foam World and established three Wizard Technology Weapon systems, while Ryan inspected its black-and-white bubbles and mechanical fortresses.
• Ryan considered using the War Fortress if the Calamity of Dreams brought overwhelming enemies, but chose to let the Foam World face its transformation and wondered what reward survival might bring.
• Ryan, the Divine Blood Wizard, Wizard Umbraly Light, and a team of Mechanical Wizards spent several years developing a generator to guide Wind Snow Spirits and accelerate the Virtual-Real Replacement Wizard Array without exposing or disrupting it.
• The Divine Blood Wizard celebrated the generator’s completion in the War Fortress research lab, where Ryan and the team had built a smooth metal cube that deployed small, biologically and mechanically linked generators.

Ryan prepared to use the Virtual-Reality Magnification Generator to amplify his power, then entered a Live Duel at Black Tower Headquarters to test his strength. The chapter ended with Gray Brandy asking Dianna Brandy what would happen to the Wizards from the Umbral Expanse.

• Ryan decided to give Wizard Umbraly Light a chance to rest and chose someone else to oversee the generator's installation.
• Black Soul Ryan faced an Official Wizard from the Qiu Qiudong Family in a Live Duel at Black Tower Headquarters.
• Ryan and his opponent unleashed their spells and particle energy as Wizards watched, including a Split Body of one of the Black Tower's three Radiant Moon Wizards.
• Gray Brandy looked over the snow surrounding Primordial City and dismissed the Blizzard Period as nothing special.
• Gray Brandy asked Dianna Brandy what she thought would happen to the Wizards from the Umbral Expanse.

Polaris and Wizard Ethan confirmed that the Virtual-Reality Magnification Generator had successfully accelerated the Wizard Array’s spread across the Pale Hand, with full control expected to take fifty years. Ten days later, Ryan considered how to use that time and decided to advance the Book of Myriad Phenomena.

• Dianna told Gray Brandy that Ryan Harak and the other wizards who left the Umbral Expanse were dead, but Gray secretly believed Ryan had survived.
• Polaris and Wizard Ethan tested the Generator as Wind Spirits and Snow Spirits gathered around the snowy mountain, and the Virtual-Reality Replacement Great Array began functioning successfully.
• Wizard Ethan returned to report the success, while Polaris stayed behind to ensure the Generator remained stable.
• Ten days later, Ryan reflected that the Wizard Array would take fifty years to cover the Pale Hand and decided to focus on the Book of Myriad Phenomena.

Ryan studied the Rule Fragments preserved in Harak's Heart and realized how he could investigate the nature of Rule Power through comparisons with Anomalous Items. He planned a long research effort and considered stepping down as leader of the Heart of War once the Nightmare Foam Network and Dragon Fall Realm were ready.

• Ryan examined the Deep Blue natives and Rule Fragments sustained by Harak's Heart, concluding that the Deep Blue Grand Wizard had used the world to preserve and nurture them.
• Ryan reasoned that the altered Rule Fragments could reveal how rules fused and changed properties, and that the Eye of Truth could compare them with the more complete Rule Powers in Anomalous Items.
• Ryan identified the Lamp of the Sun as another useful experimental variable, though the Eye of Truth's analysis remained limited by his strength.
• Ryan decided that he might eventually step down as leader of the Heart of War to pursue his Wizard research, but the Nightmare Foam Network and Dragon Fall Realm still needed development.
• Ryan planned to use the Martial World as a trial run and the Dragon Fall Realm as the real test before expanding the Nightmare platform and pursuing greater standing at the Starry Wars Assembly.

Wang Ya studied the conflict between the Sunlight Lamp's foreign rules and the Book of Myriad Phenomena, then entered a newly discovered, apparently magicless world to investigate its history. He suspected the world core might contain a world embryo, which could help him meet a prerequisite for becoming a Radiant Moon Wizard.

• Wang Ya placed the Sunlight Lamp beneath Harak's Heart and observed its rules clash with those of the Book of Myriad Phenomena.
• Wang Ya combined his research on the Book of Myriad Phenomena and the Sunlight Lamp, while postponing experiments with the golden pocket watch and rusty iron sword.
• Wang Ya arrived in a modern coastal city through a true-spirit avatar and found no supernatural power, despite the heavy pressure on the World Altar.
• Wang Ya reviewed his strength and considered how the Dragonfall Realm's complications limited his use of the Conquest Fortress.
• Wang Ya entered the Dongguang City First Library and began searching ancient books in the history room for clues about the world.

Ryan investigated the seemingly ordinary world while keeping his supernatural abilities hidden, then discovered a man had vanished without a trace. Entering the city’s Dream World, he saw the man reappear in the past and uncovered the clue behind his disappearance.

• Ryan absorbed books in the library but found no evidence of anything supernatural, despite suspecting the world held a World Embryo.
• Ryan ate at a restaurant and considered how he would invade and eventually devour the world.
• Ryan sensed a human life force vanish near an old residential complex and found no trace of the missing person.
• Ryan entered the Dream World and watched the past of the room where the man had vanished.
• Ryan saw the dejected man appear in the room and discovered the real reason for his disappearance.

Ryan suspected the Real World was an Origin World anchored by a weak or troubled Main God Space and considered taking control of it for the Nightmare Foam Network. He split off a Nightmare Wizard self in the Dream Corner while leaving a mortal version to enter the Main God Space and investigate.

• A young man died at his computer, and a blood-red screen appeared before he vanished after its cursor selected yes.
• Ryan concluded that the Real World might be an Origin World of a Main God Space that was weak, impaired, or unable to detect him.
• Ryan considered seizing the Main God Space but decided to investigate its condition and prepare a backup connection to his main body.
• Ryan separated his True Spirit Power, sending a black-robed Nightmare Wizard version into the Dream Corner while a mortal version remained in reality.
• Nightmare Wizard Ryan left mortal Ryan with a wisp of True Spirit Power and urged him to enter the Main God Space and investigate it.
