Chapter Summaries

Ian discovered that Kingsley had no soul and concluded that a higher power was preserving his materialist nature across worlds, leading him to investigate the Main God's influence. He left Kingsley trapped in an analysis array as Sasha, Tobias, and Michelle watched, uncertain but hopeful that Ian might help them escape.

• Ian examined Kingsley and found that his Soul Dimension was completely empty.
• Kingsley explained that he regarded souls as physical phenomena or unnecessary by-products of complex systems.
• Ian and Morgana identified Kingsley as evidence of a Pure Materialist World and questioned why other universes had not given him a soul.
• Ian theorized that the Main God maintained a Logic Bubble around Kingsley, protecting his soulless state from each universe's laws.
• Ian reinforced the analysis array around Kingsley and treated the Reincarnators as subjects for studying the Main God's power.
• Sasha, Tobias, and Michelle watched Ian and considered him a dangerous madman who might still be their only hope of escape.

Ian examined Tobias’s Haki and considered how its will-based powers could advance the Arcane Empire’s magic and combat techniques. Analyzing the Origin Runes, Ian envisioned a Twelfth Tier built on an absolute rule that could transcend every universe’s laws.

• Ian assessed the knowledge gathered in the Naruto World and recognized its potential to advance the Arcane Empire’s technology by centuries.
• Ian asked Tobias about his power system, and Tobias demonstrated Armament Haki.
• Ian identified Haki as a materialized form of spiritual will and saw potential in adapting Armament and Observation Haki for the Empire’s Arcanists.
• Ian attempted to combine Will Entanglement with higher-dimensional space law while discussing the Origin Runes’ universal power.
• Ian concluded that true Twelfth Tier advancement required creating an absolute rule beyond the laws of all universes.

Ian brought Tobias's Reincarnator squad to his hidden base and tried to extract the Origin Runes from Hernandez's soul, triggering the Main God Space's annihilating curse. He saved a remnant of Hernandez's soul and approved Morgana's plan to use captured Reincarnators to locate and seize the worlds they came from.

• Ian returned to the Shinobi World Planet with Tobias's squad, assigned each member an Arcanist clone to monitor them, and sent Machine Clan soldiers to hunt other Reincarnators.
• Ian and Morgana prepared to separate the Origin Runes from Hernandez's soul, but the Main God's curse annihilated a quarter of his soul almost instantly.
• Ian used the Origin Runes to resist the curse and preserved a small remnant of Hernandez's soul.
• Morgana proposed claiming the Shinobi World Timeline and using it as the Empire's Star Map Vault, and Ian agreed to send a Scavenger Legion to weak stolen planes.
• Morgana proposed using Havika's Omniverse Mathematical Model and the captured Reincarnators' Life Codes to trace and seize their home-world coordinates without paying the Akashic Records.
• Ian ordered Morgana to begin the hunt for souls and planes.

Ian showed the Reincarnators that he had survived testing the Main God's power and restored Hernandez's damaged soul using advanced arcane technology. After explaining his rise from Earth to emperor of a Tenth Tier civilization, he left Tobias free to refuse his offer and prepared to use Hernandez in a reverse hunt against Samsara Hall.

• Ian returned to the laboratory and told Michelle and the others that he had tested the Main God's power without failing.
• Ian used a pool of Soul Energy to restore Hernandez's incomplete soul by rebuilding it from its Life Code.
• Ian gave Set the Life Code Analysis spell as compensation for handing over the Titan Arcane Staff, then recounted how he built the Arcane Empire.
• Tobias rejected Ian's offer to become his direct disciple, despite hearing about the Empire's power and Ian's long life.
• Ian confirmed that Hernandez's soul had recovered and planned to use him to launch a reverse hunt against Samsara Hall.

Ian rejected Set as an apprentice after judging his knowledge, curiosity, and willpower inadequate, then offered Tobias and the other reincarnators a deal: help him investigate the Samsara Hall and its Main God in exchange for the Empire’s Omniverse Navigation Technology. Tobias asked for details before agreeing, leaving the group weighing the dangerous bargain.

• Set asked Ian to take him as an apprentice, but Ian rejected him for lacking genuine curiosity and sufficient knowledge to support his Sixth Tier.
• Ian tested the group’s willpower, found Tobias’s rating of 3 highest among them, and praised him as a promising talent despite criticizing his Haki training.
• Tobias told Ian that the Main God’s organization was called Samsara Hall and that the group had read Infinite Terror.
• Ian revealed his plan to use the reincarnators as insiders who would record universe coordinates and gather information about the Lord of Samsara Hall so he could eventually attack it.
• Ian offered the group Omniverse Navigation Technology if they agreed to cooperate and complete the mission, while promising to release them if they refused.
• Tobias asked for clarification about the contract before deciding whether to accept.

Ian convinced Tobias and the other Reincarnators that the Main God was weakened and that the Purple-Robed Daoist likely controlled its damaged Divine Artifact. He equipped them to secretly gather intelligence and coordinates across worlds, then sent them back as covert agents while warning that their time was running out.

• Tobias demanded evidence that the Main God was vulnerable, and Ian explained how it stole World Origin and why its defenses and soul seals revealed its limited power.
• Ian identified the Purple-Robed Daoist as the likely holder of the Main God's Divine Artifact and described how he had used Reincarnators to gather resources for it.
• Kingsley cited data showing Reincarnators of Chinese descent had unusually high survival and combat performance, while Sasha and Tobias reacted with anger at being exploited.
• After Ian spoke the Daoist's True Name, a karmic probe searched for the laboratory, and Ian shielded the estate from its gaze.
• Ian gave the group five arcane artifacts and strict rules for recording world coordinates, avoiding contact from the Main God Space and their home Earth, and sending intelligence only during missions.
• Ian warned that the Purple-Robed Daoist was nearing full control of the Divine Artifact, then sent Tobias, Sasha, Michelle, Set, and Kingsley through a portal to resume their missions.

Ian abandoned his plan to infiltrate the Main God Space and instead prepared to enter the Purple-Robed Daoist’s Samsara Hall by posing as a gifted, ambitious student. While studying captured Reincarnator Li Xu’s magic system, Ian recognized its microscopic, particle-level approach as a potential revolution for the Arcane Empire.

• Ian decided to change his infiltration target to the Samsara Hall and planned to attract the Purple-Robed Daoist’s attention with a brilliant student conducting taboo power experiments.
• Morgana warned Ian that his soul technology could not conceal his artifact in the Fourth Tier, so Ian considered using forbidden arts to force a breakthrough.
• Set asked to stay with Ian and learn, and Ian brought him to a laboratory to study the Reincarnators’ power systems.
• Ian had Li Xu brought in and discovered that Li Xu had reached the threshold of the Fourth Tier, though restrictions prevented him from explaining his system or origins.
• Ian scanned Li Xu’s four magic circles and concluded that their rune structures used microscopic evolution to simulate fundamental particle movements, inspiring him to pursue a magic revolution for the Arcane Empire.

Ian and Morgana discovered that Magic Circle Magic consisted of microscopic Magic Particles capable of nuclear fission, and began designing ways to adapt it for the Arcane Empire. They ended with plans for soul-based backup mana reserves, while imprisoned Li Xu watched Ian understand the system he had strengthened with Samsara Points.

• Ian used Arcane Magic Circles to record Li Xu's Magic Circle Magic and determined that it operated on a microscopic rather than macroscopic principle.
• Ian and Morgana found that Magic Circles were made of Magic Particles whose resonance could trigger a nuclear-fission-like chain reaction, vindicating Blaid's old hypothesis.
• Morgana concluded that the system's original limit was between the Sixth and Seventh Tiers and that Main God Space had forcibly expanded its potential.
• Ian's simulation showed that forcing Magic Circles into existing Magic Cores or Soul Dimensions would kill Arcanists, so he rejected using a Second Soul to share the burden.
• Ian and Morgana proposed storing backup Magic Circles in sealed Magic Cores or additional Soul Dimension layers, with a Multiple Core Project for stronger Arcanists and smaller reserves for most others.

Ian studied the original mana system and began planning how to expand its Magic Rings, while Set resolved to follow his example and build an Empire. As Ian prepared to face Guznader, reinforcements arrived outside the planet, apparently pursuing Ōtsutsuki.

• Ian discussed using artificial Soul Dimensions and Magic Rings to expand mana storage, and ordered a search for a plane made of soul power.
• Li Xu gave Ian the original mana system inheritance, which Ian read while Set decided to follow Ian’s path by conquering the Harry Potter world and building an Empire.
• Morgana explained how the original system differed from the Samsara Hall’s improved version, and estimated that later Magic Rings would take years to deduce.
• Ian placed the eighth Magic Ring on the cheating list or considered obtaining it through the Akashic Records because he wanted to be prepared to face Guznader.
• Set agreed to join Ian, while Tobias and the others asked for more time; Ian gave them until the next day to decide.
• Morgana detected powerful beings and spacecraft outside the planet, and Ian and Morgana set out to welcome them, suspecting they had come to fight Ōtsutsuki.

Ian confronted Samsara Hall’s united expeditionary force in space and demonstrated his ability to analyze and replicate Bai Li’s swordsmanship. The battle escalated when Bai Li unleashed his Despair Sword Intent, and Ian let the attack strike him so he could study its effects.

• Ian emerged above the Shinobi World Planet and faced the assembled fleets and four champions from Samsara Hall.
• Bai Li attacked Ian with a vast azure sword aura, but Ian analyzed it and returned a stronger imitation.
• Naruto Uzumaki raised a Dimensional Wall against Ian’s counterattack, but the sword aura split the defense before Mafu absorbed its remaining force.
• Enraged, Bai Li unleashed his Despair Sword Intent and shattered Ian’s Arcane shields.
• Ian spread his arms and allowed Bai Li’s destructive strike to engulf him so he could study its effect on his Life Code.

Ian studied Bai Li’s sword intent while evading the Samsara Hall powerhouses’ attacks, then unleashed a spell that annihilated nearly their entire fleet. The battered survivors realized Ian’s displayed magic was only its weakest version.

• Ian examined the persistent wound from Bai Li’s sword strike and analyzed its will-driven power as Naruto and Mafu attacked him.
• Ian dodged Naruto’s Truth-Seeking Orb spears and Mafu’s Darkfire Meteor Shower, then repelled Tiamat when she teleported behind him.
• Ian explained how Bai Li’s Sword Intent resonated with the universe’s laws and inspired his work on the Will Entanglement spell.
• Ian cast Earth, Water, Wind, Fire: Grand Elemental Annihilation, destroying ninety-nine percent of the Reincarnators’ fleet while shielding Tobias’s planet.
• Ian told the wounded Bai Li, Mafu, Naruto, and Tiamat that the spell was its weakest version, leaving them terrified of his greater forms.

Ian fought off the Otsutsuki Clan and Main God Space’s surviving experts, surviving Mafu’s Ninth Tier attack and capturing Mafu’s Dream Core. He returned toward the Core Laboratory, leaving the Shinobi World and Lost Timeline under his control as experimental platforms.

• Ian struck Tiamat hard enough to end her Super Saiyan 2 transformation, while Naruto summoned millions of powerful shadow clones to attack him.
• Mafu invoked a replica of the Power Stone to unleash a Ninth Tier destructive beam, and Ian countered it with the Arcane Spark and causal barriers.
• Mafu’s attack erased the stars and space across tens of thousands of light-years, leaving only Ian’s protected Core Laboratory Planet and a distant enemy refuge intact.
• Ian captured Mafu’s Dream Core through the dream projection and stored it for Chloe’s research into the Authority of dreams.
• The enemy refuge vanished through a dimensional fluctuation, and Ian flew back toward the Core Laboratory as the Lost Timeline became his experimental platform.

After narrowly escaping Ian, Mafu and his companions regrouped on Astrofor-876 and hoped to survive the three-day mission. Meanwhile, Ian studied the battle’s spoils and prepared to use his knowledge and research to secure an even greater advantage over Samsara Hall.

• Bai Li, Naruto, Mafu, and Tiamat gathered at their defensive base, where Naruto and Mafu questioned whether Astrofor-876 was safe from the Arcane Emperor.
• Tiamat urged the group to endure the remaining three days, trusting that her Saiyan Burst would grow stronger after she recovered from her injuries.
• Ian analyzed Mafu’s Dream Core and future records, recognizing the value of Soul Magic Circuits and their role in creating the Ultimate Magic Body.
• Ian reviewed the dimensional technology and Technician knowledge he had captured, anticipating that they would transform the Arcane Empire’s technology tree.
• Ian turned his attention to researching the Magic Domain and the Fourth Layer of the Soul Dimension, aiming to convert his advantage into strategic superiority over Samsara Hall.

Ian explored the Fourth Layer of the Soul Dimension, fortified his inner defenses, and studied the nature of Soulfire. He left with a potential way to restore soldiers whose flames had been corrupted by Necromantic Law, bringing the Empire closer to overcoming death.

• Ian strengthened the defenses protecting his memories and knowledge, expanding the Chamber of Secrets into a vast library.
• Ian entered the Essence Zone and found his Soulfire, a purple flame with silver-white light at its core.
• Ian reviewed how Soulfire quality determined a being’s potential, while noting that affordable ways to improve citizens’ flames remained unknown.
• Ian learned that Soulfire could survive bodily and spiritual destruction, making resurrection possible if the flame was recovered in time.
• Ian concluded that Soul Reshaping Technology could counter Necromantic Law’s corruption of soldiers’ Soulfire and reduce the Empire’s casualties.

Ian studied his future self’s research on Soulfire, learning how it could protect Horcruxes, enable resurrection, and reveal the secret of divine immortality. After noticing possible Origin Runes in his own flame, he prepared to test the Domain Expansion he had learned.

• Ian learned that Soulfire could create nearly indestructible Horcruxes and resist most forms of energy, while Void Energy, soul damage, and the Authorities of Death and Destruction could harm it.
• Ian reviewed three ways to extinguish Soulfire and learned that its survival in the Soul Dimension’s Fourth Layer could allow its owner to return even if the other layers were destroyed.
• Ian discovered that believers’ faith sustained a deity’s Soulfire, allowing him to kill a deity permanently by extinguishing that flame, and classified the knowledge as the Empire’s highest secret.
• Ian found a silver glimmer and tiny Runes within his own Soulfire, which he suspected were connected to his Origin Earth status and the power of special Titles.
• Ian finished reviewing the research and turned to test the Domain Expansion he had learned from the jujutsu sorceress.

Ian tested two methods of constructing a Magic Domain and found that both had serious limitations. He identified the need for a domain that could make the Soul Dimension directly affect reality without relying on a physical medium.

• Ian entered a reinforced Chamber of Secrets and created the Wizarding World domain, where his spells grew stronger but the domain consumed vast magic and was vulnerable to destruction.
• Ian concluded that the first method could not reliably challenge Divine Kingdoms and that its limited spell capacity made it unsuitable for versatile combat.
• Ian tested Truth Manifestation, projecting his Soul Dimension as a throne, the Gate of Truth, and an endless library, which boosted Fireball's power by at least 40%.
• Morgana pointed out that Truth Manifestation was difficult to use because it required instantly opening a Subspace, a feat fewer than fifty Space Magic Arcanists besides Ian could perform.
• Ian and Morgana agreed that the next step was finding a way for the Soul Dimension to interfere directly with reality without a Subspace.

Tobias’s team accepted Ian’s offer to infiltrate the Main God’s system, while Kingsley was kept as a sleeper agent because Ian could not safely implant an Infiltration Key in his digital core. After Ian’s diversion concealed the team’s altered souls, he returned to the Shinobi World Planet and found that its Cosmic Will was rejecting him, so he prepared to conduct more experiments before leaving.

• Tobias agreed on behalf of his team to follow Ian, and Ian gave the other members Infiltration Keys to implant in their Soul Dimensions.
• Ian withheld a key from Technician Kingsley and arranged to preserve his memories until the Empire developed technology that could conceal him from the Main God.
• Ian sent thousands of arcane clones to attack and scan the White Space, drawing the Main God’s attention and concealing anomalies in Tobias and the others’ souls.
• Ian returned to his secret laboratory on the Shinobi World Planet and found that the universe’s Natural Energy was avoiding him.
• Ian realized the Cosmic Will was expelling him and decided to complete further experiments before his transmission signal arrived.

The Purple-Robed Daoist watched Ian’s clones destroy Samsara Hall’s defenses and learned that Ian’s original body had survived. Fearing he could not defeat Ian with his current strength, he resolved to forcefully advance and prepare to confront him personally.

• The Purple-Robed Daoist watched a projection of Ian’s clones attack Main God Space and perish in a final self-detonation.
• The Purple-Robed Daoist learned from the system that Ian’s original body remained alive and stable.
• The system estimated that the Purple-Robed Daoist had less than a forty percent chance of defeating Ian in a direct fight outside his home territory.
• The Purple-Robed Daoist decided to abandon his cautious cultivation and use the Main God Artifact’s authority to infuse himself with stored World Source Force.
• The Purple-Robed Daoist ordered the system to find a Nightmare Level plane where he could temper his willpower, and the system locked onto a dark coordinate as his transformation began.

Ian told Tsunade about the Samsara Hall and its exploitation of worlds, then began preparing the Floating City for future battles. He planned to use Void Energy to make it self-repair through spacetime reversal and to improve its return navigation system.

• Ian reunited with Tsunade and explained his experiences in White Space and the Samsara Hall's harvesting of worlds.
• Tsunade grew furious after learning that higher beings treated their world as a source of energy and a harvest ground.
• Ian summoned Morgana and announced plans to upgrade the Floating City's defenses using Void Energy.
• Ian designed a Void Law system that could restore the Floating City to its pre-damage state, while Morgana proposed further applications of Creation and Izanagi.
• Ian identified the Floating City's return navigation as a weakness and proposed researching will-guided navigation.
• Tsunade accepted Ian's preparations as he returned his attention to the formulas and runes.

Ian developed a causal link to guide the Floating City and examined the technological spaceship project’s material bottleneck. He discovered that fusing Magic Rings into his Aether Cores could strengthen his body and soul, giving Arcanists a way past the Seventh-Tier Soul Limitation, and left to test the new core.

• Ian proposed using his causal connection to the city as a homing device, and Morgana agreed to work on it with help from Hermione if needed.
• Morgana told Ian that the ST-897 Project lacked a material suitable for a purely technological ship that could survive the Void, and their attempts to create one had only a 23.45% chance of success.
• Ian showed Morgana the watch from Samsara Hall, and she made deciphering its possible Void Energy or Origin Rune technology a priority.
• Ian fused four Magic Rings into each of his two Aether Cores, creating Supersolid Cores that resonated and strengthened his body and soul.
• Ian tested the technique on clones and confirmed that Supersolid Aether Cores could break the Soul Limitation between the Seventh and Eighth Tiers.
• Ian stored the research data and left the laboratory to test the new core’s power.
