Chapter Summaries

Lynn used the Spirit of the Blue Sky’s immense faith-power returns to break through into the second-level wizard realm and continued advancing as he carved a second Permanent Spell Mark.

Lynn chose the second-level domain spell Forest Dome Descent and entered the vast Divine Kingdom projection, where interference cut him off from his companions.

Lynn, disguised as Fao, returned to the Goddess of the Weave’s army while concealing his control of Fao’s body and learning of a major divine operation. The chapter left him entering the Goddess’s embryonic Divine Kingdom, where he sensed an immense concentration of faith that he dared not absorb.

• Lynn saw the Goddess’s embryonic Divine Kingdom and its vast gathering of believers, then considered the power of its faith before following the knight inside.

Lynn was brought to a divine tower where the Goddess of the Weave’s expanding Divine Kingdom created rare opportunities, but he wanted to study Fao’s memories rather than compete for them. After publicly humiliating Terence and drawing a warning from a Level Nine powerhouse, Lynn withdrew to a quiet corner as the opportunity began to appear.

• A knight led Lynn to the divine tower instead of Commander Cindy, explaining that Cindy was helping the Goddess of the Weave construct a divine array to expand her Divine Kingdom.

Qi found Lynn, killed Walker and Quinna, and revealed that the Goddess of the Weave had located War Fortress No. 13, leaving the wizard stronghold in danger.

Lynn emerged from a month of seclusion stronger in spirit and body, and realized Qi’s Contract of Balance contained the inheritance of an extinct civilization.

The Goddess of the Weave’s forces and the wizard armies plunged into an all-out war while Lynn escaped to War Fortress No. 13 with Astrid and Qi. As the Goddess left her Divine Kingdom for the front line, Qi prepared to act and the City Lord of the City of Machinery awakened the Floating Fortress’s core mainframe.
