Ian and Tsunade led five warships to attack the Ōtsutsuki Clan’s headquarters while Ian livestreamed the expedition to the Empire’s citizens. After reaching the clan’s home system and withstanding an enormous attack, they learned how its Imperial Family, nobles, and branch family were organized, just as an Ōtsutsuki appeared to face the fleet alone.

Ian’s fleet destroyed the Ōtsutsuki divine general Nishiki with an Eighth Tier physical attack, prompting the clan’s leaders to convene an emergency meeting. Ryushiki’s prophetic eyes foresaw the downfall or capture of Shibai, leaving the Ōtsutsuki Clan in silence and dread.

• Ian explained that the Ōtsutsuki Clan concentrated power in individuals and ordered the fleet to attack the divine general blocking its way.
• The Thunder Main Cannon failed because the Ōtsutsuki was immune to energy attacks, so Ian ordered an Eighth Tier Shockwave Main Cannon strike.

• The Left Guardian silenced the gathering, while the Right Guardian warned that the enemy’s attack had reached Shibai’s dimensional tier.
• Ryushiki foresaw the clan’s end and said Shibai faced downfall or capture.

The Left Guardian mobilized the Ōtsutsuki Clan and its conquered civilizations while Ian’s Golem forces overwhelmed them with tailored counters. As the battlefield fell under the Bloodline Tactic, an extremely powerful presence began to awaken, leaving one final fight ahead.

• The Left Guardian declared a state of emergency, ordered the clan and its conquered civilizations to gather, and authorized Ryushiki to seek survival by any means; she captured five would-be escapees for him to absorb.
• Ian sent a hundred thousand Golems to intercept the arriving Ōtsutsuki, then deployed remotely controlled fighters against weaker clan members and their cannon fodder.
• After detecting a Prophet-level divination fluctuation, Ian sent Shadow Golems to find and capture its source, while preparing shields against an Eighth Tier weapon attack from the Imperial Family Planet.
• Ian shielded the five spacecraft from the Left Guardian’s attack, then ordered the Golem Legion to release a red mist that incapacitated the Ōtsutsuki by overwhelming their minds and souls.
• Ian explained the mist’s effect to Tsunade and sensed a powerful existence beginning to awaken, warning that one final battle remained.

Ian fought Shibai in a stable dimension, analyzing the power behind his Divine Arts while countering his attacks. Ian realized that Cosmic Will amplified Shibai’s techniques, and the battle continued with Shibai’s chakra beasts suppressed by Ian’s attack.

• Ian admitted that he had attacked the Otsutsuki Clan, and he and Shibai entered a distant dimension to fight without destroying the clan’s star system.
• Shibai attacked with blue flames and lightning, but Ian blocked the flames and swapped their positions so Shibai was struck by his own lightning before regenerating.
• Ian disrupted Shibai’s ability to foresee the future and redirected his Dimension Annihilation spheres back at him.
• Shibai turned nearby stars into bombs and used the Death Path, but Ian survived both attacks and erased the consciousness Shibai sent into the past, injuring his soul.
• Shibai summoned ten Eighth-Tier chakra beasts, but Ian overwhelmed them and realized that Cosmic Will amplified Shibai’s Divine Arts.

Ian fought Shibai, developed Will Entanglement by infusing spells with his willpower, and sealed the exhausted god after testing the universe’s limit.

• Ian returned to the Ōtsutsuki imperial planet, learned from Golem AD that his livestream support had risen and that Ryushiki had been captured with unique Divination Eyes, then spoke with Tsunade about the danger of stronger beings.

Ian warned Tsunade that the Ōtsutsuki would threaten the Shinobi World again, then received envoys from three star-spanning clans and demanded their submission. After the Sage Clan and Chakra Clan envoys departed, Ian ordered the Empire to prepare to conquer the Machine Clan and capture an Undying God.

• Ian told Tsunade that future Ōtsutsuki attacks would kill Sasuke, strip Naruto of the Nine-Tails, and leave Naruto's son to save the world.

• Ian invited the Sage Clan and Chakra Clan to inspect the Empire before deciding whether to submit or face war.
• Ian ordered Golem AD to prepare for battle and conquer the Machine Clan the next day while capturing an Undying God.

Ian conquered the Machine Clan and enslaved it to strip a universe of resources, then captured the Evil God and returned to the Shinobi World. After a month of work, he used a powerful artifact to locate the Lost Timelines.

• Ian sent a million Arcane War Golems against the Machine Clan and used a data virus to cripple its defenses.
• Ian teleported into the Overclocked Resonance Cannon’s control room, disabled the weapon, and forced Sylvia to surrender the Source Code after three days of fighting.
• Ian ordered the Machine Clan to mine the universe’s valuable resources for six months and used Hidan as a curse medium to locate and capture the Evil God.

• Ian powered the gray sphere and searched across parallel timelines until he located the Lost Timelines.

Ian found a weakly shielded stolen timeline, prepared for invasion, and forced his way into the Shinobi World during the Fourth Shinobi World War. He watched Reincarnators Tobias and Michelle battle, leaving Michelle badly outmatched and Ian intrigued by her powers.

• Ian questioned Morgana about the Empire’s timeline research and learned it had shifted toward defensive isolation technology.
• After searching stolen timelines for a week, Ian found a weak barrier, gathered war machines and forbidden weapons, and used his Void laws to break inside.
• Ian arrived in the Shinobi World during the Fourth Shinobi World War and concealed himself near a battle between Tobias and Michelle.
• Tobias used Haki and combat techniques to destroy Michelle’s puppets and overwhelm her, while Michelle survived his punch with Cursed Energy and Reversal Technique.
• Ian observed the fight from hiding and examined the Reincarnators’ mixed power systems with interest.

Tobias overwhelmed Michelle after completing a deadly mission against the Ōtsutsuki and using its reward to strengthen himself, but Ian captured him after scanning his body and discovering a virus altering his DNA. Ian planned to extract information about the Main God Space and make it the Arcane Empire’s next hunting ground.

• Tobias defeated Michelle and explained that he had survived a suicide mission against the Ōtsutsuki to obtain a fate-changing reward.
• Ian secretly scanned Tobias and, with Morgana’s help, identified an unknown virus that was forcibly altering his DNA, possibly the T-virus.
• Tobias sensed a disturbance and searched the battlefield, prompting Ian to reveal himself.
• Ian froze Tobias with overwhelming power and prepared to extract information about the lost timeline and the Main God Space.
• Ian began using a Causal Lock array to break down Tobias’s soul defenses and resolved to send the Main God Space a return gift.

Ian examined Hernandez’s Reincarnation Watch and invaded his Soul Dimension to investigate the Main God’s restriction. Deep within Hernandez’s soul, Ian discovered a mysterious character that he recognized as a possible Origin Rune.

• Ian asked Morgana to scan Hernandez’s Reincarnation Watch, and she found its material virtually indestructible and its technology beyond their understanding.
• Ian forced his way into Hernandez’s Soul Dimension, witnessing the memory of how Hernandez became a Reincarnator before bypassing his castle-like mental defenses.
• Hernandez transformed into a golden armored giant and attacked Ian, but Ian subdued him with soul power and bound him with arcane ropes.
• Ian searched Hernandez’s soul and found a tiny mysterious character embedded deep within its network.
• Ian sensed the character’s ancient power and cried out that it might be a legendary Origin Rune.

Ian discovered an unobservable Rune embedded in Hernandez’s soul and committed Morgana’s processing power to recording it. Meanwhile, Sasha’s team planned to endure three days until powerful Reincarnators returned, believing they could kill Ian.

• Ian identified a character in Hernandez’s soul as a possible Origin Rune, but found that its details vanished from memory whenever he observed it.
• Ian ordered Morgana to devote at least forty percent of her processing power to preserving the Rune, while prioritizing military and warning systems.
• Ian stored Hernandez’s unconscious body and left the battlefield as Morgana began her recording operation.
• Sasha warned Madara Uchiha that Ian could destroy the planet, but Madara dismissed the threat and sent her away.
• Tobias and Michelle told Sasha that powerful Eighth-Tier Reincarnators were returning from the Otsutsuki battlefield and that the team had to survive for three days.

Tobias, Sasha, and Michelle recruited Set to help carry out their plan against Madara Uchiha, while Set warned that the threat might involve another Main God or an interdimensional civilization. Set agreed to assist Sasha in refining Madara into a Servant, and Tobias left to find Kingsley as Set and Sasha headed back toward the Akatsuki.

• Tobias explained his plan to Sasha and Michelle, and Sasha signed their contract after Michelle showed her the agreement.
• Tobias attacked a hidden Limbo clone near the Allied Shinobi Forces camp, then Sasha asked Set to hear their proposal.
• Set agreed to help on the condition that Sasha marry him, but Tobias negotiated the condition down to one date, which Sasha accepted and signed into a magical contract.
• Set, Tobias, and Michelle considered where the Legendary Arcanist came from, including the possibility of another Main God or a civilization capable of traveling between universes.
• Sasha revealed that she had secretly placed magical marks on Madara and wanted to refine him into a Servant; Set agreed to help her.
• Set sent Tobias to find Kingsley, assigned Michelle to go with him, and used an invisibility spell to return with Sasha to the Akatsuki's side.

Sasha and Set bound Madara as a Servant and led the group in a desperate attempt to escape the Legendary Arcanist’s planetary seal. After using the Titan Weapon to reach a remote planetary fragment and beginning to build an escape ship, they discovered the Legendary Arcanist was already waiting for them.

• Set used a potion to weaken Madara’s resistance, allowing Sasha to complete the Soul Imprint and make him her Servant.
• Set brought Sasha, Madara, Tobias, Michelle, and Kingsley into his magic tower, but Aina reported that a high-dimensional force field prevented teleportation.
• Set proposed using the Titan Weapon to break through the seal, and the group signed a contract agreeing to pay him thirty thousand Samsara Points.
• The group used Titan Power to cross 17.8 light-years and reach a desolate planetary fragment, where Kingsley began building an escape ship.
• Sasha regretted how little she could contribute as Kingsley estimated the ship would take forty-five minutes to build.
• A Legendary Arcanist appeared above the group and revealed that he had been waiting for them.

Ian confronted the Samsara Hall reincarnators who had breached his barrier, revealed his knowledge of their worlds and offered a way to escape Samsara Hall’s control. He left them with a choice: cooperate with his research in exchange for their lives and possible freedom.

• Ian used Mind Reading to discover that the reincarnators understood the different spellcaster paths and suspected he was building an Arcanist Civilization.
• Ian identified Set as the one who broke through his barrier and recognized him as a High Elf from Quel'Thalas.
• Tobias asked whether cooperation would earn their lives, and Ian promised he had not intended to kill them.
• Ian explained that he could preserve fragments of their souls and essence blood, rebuild their bodies, and let their souls grow again to evade Samsara Hall’s seals.
• Ian offered to spare them if they cooperated with his research into their energy system and allowed him to record the seals in their souls.

Ian interrogated the Reincarnators and examined their abilities, seeking knowledge to advance the Empire's magic and technology. He began planning experiments with Sasha and Michelle while learning that Kingsley's Main God-imposed restrictions blocked his technological evolution.

• Ian offered the Reincarnators submission or death, then began analyzing their power systems and questioned Set about the divine weapon fused with his Mage Tower.
• Ian examined Sasha's Fate-universe Magic Circuits, summoned Saber and Madara Uchiha, and asked Saber about King Arthur's gender in his world.
• Ian scanned Saber and Madara, then asked Sasha to demonstrate how to transform a living person into a Servant using a clone as the subject.
• Ian examined Michelle's incomplete Domain, recognized its potential for his Magic Domain research, and promised to train and supply her.
• Ian questioned Kingsley about his technological capabilities and learned that a logic virus in his operating system locked his evolutionary limit under the Main God's restrictions.

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.
