Chapter Summaries

Ace kept the Qi Venerates confined while expanding his influence, and the Supreme Beings considered how to use the approaching conflict with the Wizard World to break their shackles. Thirty years later, Tuoba Lin learned that Ming Yan was his father and traveled to Radiant Peak City to decide what to do.

• Jin Jiuyao challenged Ace, failed to break through Ace’s Gravity Distortion Field, and fled to the Supreme Secret Realm.
• The Primordial Supreme Being, Azure Dragon Supreme Being, and Western Supreme Being discussed Ace, the Heavenly Dao, and the threat posed by the Outer Realm demons.
• Over the next thirty years, the Great Sun Demon Lord swept across the continent, Magic flourished, and Ming Yan established a New Holy Land at Radiant Peak City.
• Tuoba Yanran and Bayern told Tuoba Lin that Ming Yan was his father and that the Great Sun Demon Lord had destroyed their sect and family.
• Tuoba Lin decided to visit Ming Yan at Radiant Peak City before choosing whether to fight him, kill him, or join him against the Great Sun Demon Lord.

Tuoba Lin confronted Ming Yan over their shared family and the Great Sun Demon Lord, while Bayern manipulated their battle to seize their combined fate. Bayern escaped as the Wizard World Cluster invaded the World of Qi, where the three Qi Supremes faced the arriving world-class weapons.

• Tuoba Lin revealed to Ming Yan that he was Tuoba Yanran’s son and challenged him after Ming Yan refused to oppose the Great Sun Venerable.
• Bayern used the Star-Mandate Guidance Art to alter Ming Yan’s fate, driving Ming Yan and Tuoba Lin into a three-day battle that escalated to Half-step Supreme strength.
• The three Qi Supremes sent seven Half-step Supremes to stop the fight, but Ace’s avatars trapped them while Bayern continued manipulating fate for a year.
• The three Qi Supremes broke through to the battlefield and shattered the wizards’ barriers, only to find Ming Yan and his family dead and Bayern absorbing their fate.
• Ace accelerated the Wizard World Cluster toward the World of Qi, and its hooks and warships breached the world’s crystal wall as Bayern escaped.
• The three Qi Supremes emerged through the breach and were struck by a world-class railgun blast, while Ace and his allies prepared to continue the invasion.

Bayern stole the World of Qi’s accumulated fate and became a true Demigod as Ace’s forces steadily dismantled the world. After the three Supreme Beings destroyed their world to escape with its essence, Ace defeated and absorbed them, then began preparing to unite his body, soul, demi-plane, and Mindscape to reach the limit of a Demigod.

• Bayern escaped the World of Qi after stealing its fate, and Ace helped him recover while the crystal wall’s damage triggered a Great Calamity.
• The three Supreme Beings gained the Heavenly Dao’s rank of greatest men, but Ace and the Pseudo-Demigods harassed them as the Magic Net and the wizards consumed the World of Qi.
• After a year of losing fragments and origin, the World of Qi’s Supreme Beings detonated its core and fled in the Supreme Secret Realm with the world’s essence.
• Ace caught up with the Supreme Secret Realm, absorbed the three Supreme Beings into his Nebula Star, and brought the realm back to the Wizard World Cluster.
• Ace instructed Betty and Bayern, then entered his demi-plane to synchronize his body, soul, demi-plane, and Mindscape toward the true limit of a Demigod.

After the World of Qi was destroyed, Thales explained to Blainia why Ace believed contact between unknown civilizations triggered a Chain of Suspicion, while Ace returned to Kaya World to pursue the Dream Path. He learned from Thoth that Kaya's gods remained divided and that a fragile ceasefire had followed Queen of Gods Linus's betrayal of God-King Knoans.

• Thales told Blainia that Ace's Chain of Suspicion theory made preemptive attacks seem necessary because civilizations could not know whether other worlds were hostile.
• A hundred years later, the World of Qi's essence had been absorbed by the Great Dream Source, and its fragments had expanded Wizard World's interior.
• Ace emerged from his demi-plane at the limit of demigodhood, then traveled through the stable passage back to Kaya World to complete the Dream Path.
• Ace met Thoth, confirmed that he still intended to pursue the Dream Path, and shared wizard knowledge in exchange for news about Kaya World.
• Thoth told Ace that Queen of Gods Linus had betrayed God-King Knoans, who was gravely wounded, and that the opposing factions had reached a temporary ceasefire.

Ace absorbed most of the Calamity Sword Constellation’s primordial flame to strengthen his Nebula Treasure Tool, then prepared to target Alsop and arranged an ambush in Bai En City. He reunited with Luna, learned how she had helped build the Warrior Guild, and gave her a ruby containing the perfected Path of Blood Energy and Heart Flame.

• Ace watched the Fire Thief Alliance survivors vote on joining the High Tower and mourned the disappearance of Nicholas after a Verdant Secret Realm destroyed the alliance’s base.
• Ace drew eighty percent of the Calamity Sword Constellation’s Starlight Primordial Fire Essence into his thirteen suns, leaving kindling behind and resisting the world’s call to advance.
• Ace sent a demigod projection into Bai En City to prepare an ambush for Alsop and encountered Luna, whom he summoned to Green Field Grassland.
• Ace met Luna at the place where they had first encountered each other and listened as she recounted becoming a leader among the warriors who formed the Warrior Guild.
• Ace gave Luna a ruby containing the perfected Path of Blood Energy and Heart Flame before continuing through Bai En City.

Ace defeated the Three Sons of Dreams and absorbed their Dream Domain, then advanced to Level 5 by fixing his past into a Fruit of History. He hid the fruit in his Mindscape and explained that a True God’s immortality came from briefly accessing four-dimensional space and making its past unalterable.

• Ace entered the Three Sons of Dreams’ demiplane and drew them into a shared dream struggle using his avatar and true spirit.
• Ace’s starry dream overwhelmed the brothers’ creations, shattered their intertwined dream, and absorbed their dream origin and demiplanes.
• Thoth took Byrne, God of Sleep, to Artemis, who said the contest had been fair and ordered Byrne to remain in her demiplane.
• Ace bound the Three Sons of Dreams and used the Great Source’s power to fix his past across the Kaya World and the Astral Sea.
• Ace reached Level 5, formed a Fruit of History, and placed it deep in his Mindscape rather than surrendering it to the Great Source.
• Ace recorded his understanding that True Gods became immortal by briefly entering four-dimensional space and fixing their pasts into Fruits of History.

Ace became a True God and mastered Kaya’s Dream Domain after exploring the Four-dimensional Secret Realm. He then used the energy he had gathered to draw a four-dimensional particle into his Demipane, creating a star-filled universe as he advanced his wizard path.

• Ace explained how Level 5 immortality differed from godhood and chose to anchor his immortality in his own Demipane rather than the Great Source.
• Ace entered four-dimensional space and mastered all the rules of Kaya’s Dream Domain, becoming the Incarnation of Dreams in less than a day.
• The Kaya Gods, Media, Rhonamuth, and Hercules Norton reacted with astonishment to Ace’s rapid ascension and discussed his origins and potential.
• Ace returned to the Four-dimensional Secret Realm, pulled a four-dimensional particle into his Demipane, and unfolded it into a universe shaped by his will.
• Several days later, Ace appeared outside the Demipane wearing a black robe and wizard’s hat, with a nine-ring hexagram badge on his chest.

Ace summoned the wizards to help transform their Subconscious Sea into the Gate of the Void Realm, a wondrous artifact that could grant brief access to four-dimensional space. He then established Dream City on Mount Kaya, where Thoth told him to free the Three Sons of Dreams before paying respects to Kaya’s chief gods.

• Ace summoned the wizards to Kaya World after revealing that he had become an Immortal Legendary Wizard and needed their help forging a wondrous artifact.
• Ace led the gathered wizards through the four-dimensional secret realm and inscribed their Subconscious Sea onto the Wizard World particle.
• Ace created the Gate of the Void Realm in his demiplane and returned the wizards’ consciousnesses to them.
• Ace joined his demiplane to Mount Kaya and established Dream City as his residence there.
• Thoth congratulated Ace and told him to release the Three Sons of Dreams before visiting the Lady of the Night, Kaya’s Agent, and Artemis.

Ace released the Three Sons of Dreams and secured their service as God Attendants, offering Alsop a path toward demigodhood through a sacred Law Contract. The brothers accepted the contract, and Alsop immediately advanced to Epic Hero.

• Ace released Alsodin, Alsos, and Alsop from the halo of light, and they recognized that they had no hope of defeating him.
• Byrne, God of Sleep, arrived after Artemis, Lady of Night, lifted his confinement and asked Ace to let Alsop continue along the Dream Path.
• Ace promised Alsop could pursue the Dream Path if he joined his ranks and formed a sacred Law Contract, and Byrne proposed that all three brothers become Ace’s followers.
• Ace offered the brothers the role of God Attendants instead, and Alsodin accepted on behalf of the three brothers.
• Ace branded the sacred Law Contract onto the Three Sons of Dreams, and Alsop became an Epic Hero as the domain’s secrets opened to him.

Ace paid his respects to Artemis, who guided him into Kaya’s Divine Secret Realm and helped him glimpse fragments of fate. He joined the Kaya Pantheon and received the divine name Dream God.

• Ace agreed that Alsodin, Alsos, and Alsop would answer his summons, then followed Thoth to Artemis’s domain on Mount Kaya.
• Artemis welcomed Ace and led him into the Divine Secret Realm, where he used the Tablet of Destiny to gather fragments of fate and complete a puzzle.
• Artemis explained the secret art of Pursuit and brought Ace back to the moonlight palace.
• Artemis led Ace into the Hall of Gods, where he took his Divine Seat and witnessed the gathering of Kaya’s gods and Titan Sovereigns.
• Ace swore loyalty to the Kaya Gods and accepted the divine name Dream God from Artemis.

Ace explored the powers of his demiplane, used an Immortal Heart Flame to efficiently convert high-dimensional energy into divine power essence, and discovered that supernatural forces might come from a higher-dimensional collapse. Fuwa gained a law-recording treasure, while Ace prepared to deepen his laws and become a Law Master.

• Ace studied the incomplete Tablet of Destiny and used it to control destiny within his demiplane.
• Ace created a demigod-level projection and considered transforming his four-dimensional secret gate into a Temple of Will for wizards.
• Ace opened a high-dimensional fissure and used the Glazed Heart Flame to convert its chaotic energy, eventually turning the flame into an Immortal Heart Flame.
• Ace used the Immortal Heart Flame to produce divine power essence, greatly increasing the energy available to his miniature galaxy.
• Fuwa consumed divine power essence and became able to summon the Level 5 Book of Law Recording, which could imprint laws and record fragments.
• Ace concluded that supernatural power might result from the Astral Sea's gradual collapse from four dimensions into three, and worried that the collapse could eventually destroy the higher-dimensional world.

Scholar Thomas developed a theory that energy was conserved and could change forms, earning Betty’s support and eventually Great Source feedback that transformed him into a Wizard. His work advanced Betty’s research into energy conversion, but opponents argued that it could not explain magic power.

• On Blood Origin Planet, Thomas taught students about Ace and the meaning of Astral Sea Unification before Donna invited him to research in the Heavenly Realm.
• At Betty’s Wizard Tower, Thomas explained how observations of blood and heat had inspired his paper on the force of the inorganic world, and he argued that causes could not vanish but could change form.
• Thomas published his first paper in Magic, became a Mage through the Mage Transformation Ritual, and faced criticism for his broad argument.
• Three months later, Thomas published a second paper linking organic motion with metabolism, and its claims earned him Great Source feedback that transformed him into a Wizard with Magic Talent.
• Thomas’s work supported Betty’s view that energy could change forms, while opponents rejected the idea that vital force was an elemental process because it did not explain magic power.

Thomas, Donna, and Betty proved the First Law of Thermodynamics and its mechanical equivalent, earning the Great Source’s power. Betty used the breakthrough to become a demigod and created her demiplane, the Conservation Mechanical Sphere.

• Thomas and Donna established that heat generated in a conductor was proportional to the square of the current and its resistance, naming the result the Donna-Thomas Law.
• Betty, Donna, and Thomas tested magnetoelectric generators and showed that mechanical work and heat could be converted into one another.
• Thomas calculated the Mechanical Equivalent of Heat and formulated the Law of Energy Conversion and Conservation, which Ace named the First Law of Thermodynamics.
• The Great Source raised Thomas’s aptitude and advanced Donna to Legendary wizard, while Betty went to borrow the Scepter of Heaven and requested Ace’s Dream Sigil.
• Betty used the Scepter of Heaven and Ace’s divine power essence to complete her breakthrough, defining her path through conservation and creating the Conservation Mechanical Sphere as her demiplane.

Thomas and Donna developed ideas about magic power and heat engines, prompting Ace to publish his Second Law of Thermodynamics and Entropy Increase Theorem. The wizards debated what entropy meant for the Astral Realm and concluded that the Wizard World Cluster needed to acquire resources from other worlds.

• Thomas argued that magic power was a form of energy and compared its conversion into ordinary energy to a heat engine.
• Donna described an ideal heat-engine cycle, and Thomas formulated its efficiency; they published their theories for the wizards to discuss.
• Ace published his Second Law of Thermodynamics, defining absolute zero and explaining why a single heat source could not yield useful work.
• Ace introduced entropy and warned that an isolated system would tend toward heat death, while an open system could reduce entropy by transferring it to its environment.
• Betty read Ace's article and feared the Astral Realm might eventually reach heat death, though she reasoned that it could exchange energy and matter with other realms.
• Thomas linked magic power to entropy increase, while Bru urged the wizards to plunder outside resources and Thales described the Astral Realm as a dark forest of competing civilizations.

Betty created the Life Guardian Sphere, while Bayern used Ace’s Probability Theory to develop Statistical Mechanics and confronted the implications of low-probability events. Ace resolved the ensuing debate through the Second Law of Thermodynamics, and then brought Bayern and Betty to Kaya World to help reduce its entropy.

• Betty created the State Conservation Sphere, which could preserve a holder’s life and soul state but prevented further advancement, and Donna’s potential to profit from the technique was discussed.
• Ace delivered Probability Theory to Bayern, who applied its mathematics to mechanics and wrote a paper on Statistical Mechanics and low-probability events.
• Bayern’s work disrupted his demiplane and nearly shattered his foundation before he stabilized it with the Great Dream Source and completed his paper.
• Wizards debated whether low-probability events could produce extraordinary changes until Ace argued that an isolated system could not decrease entropy without external interference.
• Ace brought Bayern and Betty to Kaya World, where their arrival could help maintain order and reduce the world’s entropy.

Ace recalled Bayern and Betty to explain the coming wizard-led war in the Inner World and teach them how Seventh- and Eighth-Ring magic related to laws, cognition, and higher dimensions. He then entered the Four-dimensional Secret Realm, where the Book of Records helped him gather fragments of the Comprehension law.

• Ace told Bayern and Betty that wizards would rule the era in the Inner World, but warned that they would have to defeat the Rebel Gods and Outer Gods to seize control.
• Ace explained that an Eighth-Ring wizard needed a Legendary Foundation built from a complete understanding of laws, and described Level 5 Immortals as beings who manipulated time and their worldlines.
• Ace returned Bayern and Betty to Nightglow City and promised them a chance to enter the Four-dimensional Secret Realm.
• Ace completed the Magic Sanctuary and Gate of Higher Dimensions, while Fuwa gave him the Book of Records and hoped to become the God of Rule Records.
• Ace entered the Four-dimensional Secret Realm and followed the Eye of True Knowledge and Book of Records to collect fragments of the Comprehension law.

Ace studied the laws he had gathered and discovered that one Omniscient law could broaden his Dream law, while the High Tower wizards expanded Kaya World's forces and invaded the Reflection World. After Luna became lost among the elves, Athena rescued her and revealed that she had matters to attend to in the Burial Ground.

• Ace confirmed that no one had yet formed a complete Omniscient law and found that merging one Omniscient law into his Dream law strengthened it.
• The High Tower wizards legalized several extraordinary groups and organized the Inner World's forces to resist the elves and the Emerald Secret Realms.
• Eddy led more than four hundred members of the Joint Invasion Army into the Reflection World, where elves attacked them with elemental arrows.
• After six powerful elves ambushed the army, Eddy and the survivors retreated to a valley base while Luna became separated and lost.
• Luna survived for a month in the Reflection World, learned some Elvish, and was surrounded by elves before Athena killed them and rescued her.
• Athena learned that Ace had become both a true god and an Immortal Legendary, then invited Luna to accompany her into the Burial Ground.

Athena sacrificed the World Tree Flower and her body to the Great Source, becoming an immortal Goddess of Hope. Ace sensed that someone connected to his past was becoming immortal and entered the Four-dimensional Secret Realm to discover whether it was Athena or Nicholas.

• Athena and Luna formed a soul oath, then Athena attacked the Verdant Secret Realm while Luna infiltrated it to retrieve a crystalline petal.
• Luna took the World Tree Flower petal and was transported outside Bai En City as Athena fought Quintina Firetree.
• Athena sacrificed the petal, the Ice Flower, and her body to the Great Source, freezing and destroying the Verdant Secret Realm before her true spirit was remade as a god.
• Athena resolved to become a new Goddess of Hope rather than revive Medila, and she entered the Divine Secret Realm and fixed her past into an immortal mark.
• Ace sensed that a person with a major historical connection to him was achieving immortality, considered Athena and Nicholas, and entered the Four-dimensional Secret Realm to investigate.

Ace became the Omniscient One, used his new perception to gather and combine laws into his Law of Dreams, and prepared to expand his Dream World. As the Outer Gods and Rebel Gods established the United Hall of Gods, the Great Tree World collided with Kaya World, leaving Ace watching the worlds begin to merge.

• Athena and Ace sensed a connection in the Four-dimensional Secret Realm but could not meet, so each gathered law fragments separately.
• Ace completed the Omniscient Law, became its incarnation, and gathered ninety Laws of Destiny, merging some into his Law of Dreams.
• Ace resolved to replicate other gods’ paths and expand his Dream World, then gathered Laws of Creation and tested how different laws merged into dreams.
• The Outer Gods, Rebel Gods, devils, and demons established the United Hall of Gods, while Kaya’s Titan Sovereigns confronted their opponents without starting a war.
• The Great Tree World collided with Kaya World, twisting timelines and loosening Immortal imprints as the two worlds began to merge.
• Ace steadied himself after the collision and located the four-dimensional particle corresponding to his Demiplane.

After the world collision unleashed a storm that threatened the gods’ Demiplanes and loosened their immortal marks, Ace escaped through the fourth dimension and became the Law Master of Dreams and Manifestation. He began preparing to endure the storm and create the Magic Net Law, gathering its fragments from the Wizard World Cluster.

• Ace used the fourth dimension to steer his Demiplane clear of the collision’s shockwave, while the impact devastated the gods near Mount Kaya and loosened their immortal marks.
• Lady of the Night warned the gods that the Long Night of the Fallen Saints was returning, and Artemis advised them to descend into the Inner World with their Immortal Fruits and Demiplanes.
• Ace concluded that the storm would eventually force gods out of the Outer World and decided to become the Master of Dreams before it arrived.
• Ace gathered his Law of Dreams across timelines, became a Law Master, and fused the Law of Manifestation into it, secretly claiming the titles of Dream Chief God and Chief God of Dreams and Manifestation.
• Ace sent a projection to convert energy from a higher-dimensional rift while his main body studied the collision in the Four-dimensional Secret Realm and deepened his understanding of physical laws.
• Ace traveled to the Wizard World Cluster, absorbed traces of the Magic Net Law, and condensed three Magic Net Laws.
