Chapter Summaries

Ace gathered the wizards and explained that the collision of Kaya World and Great Tree World would soon make the Outer World uninhabitable and bring powerful beings into the Inner World. He split the wizards between returning to the Wizard World and fighting in Kaya, then accelerated the collapse to fuel his attempt to create Dream followers and advance toward Level Six.

• Ace transported the wizards above Gold rank to his Demiplane and told them that the worlds’ collision would soon unleash a catastrophic high-magic storm.
• Ace gave the wizards a choice between returning to the Wizard World Cluster and staying to fight for opportunities in Kaya; he sent those returning away and ordered the others to concentrate their strength in the Salia region.
• Ace resolved to spread the Magic Net and create Dream followers as a way to gain influence over the Inner World and approach Level Six.
• Ace opened nearly a thousand high-dimensional rifts and used his desire to evolve the Immortal Heart Flame into the Immortal Glazed Fire, rapidly converting high-dimensional energy into divine power essence.
• The Dream World’s stars surged past thirty thousand as the storm accelerated, and Level Six existences noticed the change and questioned Crown Prince Auras about his encounter with the High God.

Auras and Turian explained how High God Ao led Great Tree World to conquer worlds and ascend before an unknown force shattered it, prompting the gods to fear what awaited their own ascension. Meanwhile, Ace completed the Magic Net Law and became its incarnation, then discovered it was mutating as it spread through his dreams and connected to other laws.

• Auras recounted how Ao planted the World Tree seed, gathered conquered worlds as leaves, and led Great Tree World to ascend before the World Tree was severed and the world fell.
• Lamor suggested an upper-level world might have ambushed Great Tree World as it had ambushed lower worlds, leaving Auras and Turian alarmed about ascension.
• Ace entered the Four-dimensional Secret Realm with power from nearly one hundred thousand stars and combined the Book of Records with Fuwa's Omniscient Law to gather Magic Net Laws.
• Ace refined three thousand and one laws into the complete Magic Net Law and became a Magic Net Incarnation.
• Ace spread the Magic Net through his dreams and connected it to high-dimensional energy, replenishing his divine power as he considered how faith might sustain the gods after the energy storm ended.
• Ace saw dream gods emerge through the Magic Net's interaction with other laws and discovered that the Magic Net Law had mutated.

After the collapse scattered the gods’ Immortal Fruits and destroyed many Demiplanes, Ace entered the Inner World with his own Demiplane intact and began building a Salia alliance under his leadership. He drove Pontos from the peninsula but allowed him to take ten thousand believers in exchange for a mysterious leaf that caught Ace’s attention.

• Ace extended the Magic Net into his Demiplane and planned to spread it through the Inner World, form the Salia Alliance, and find the God of Knowledge and the Sleep God.
• Ace inspected Betty’s Floating City, repaired its flaws, and installed an Infinite Energy Core that connected it to the Magic Net.
• Thoth met Ace and agreed to his proposal for a temporary alliance to protect Salia’s True Gods and recover their Immortal Fruits.
• Ace gathered the gods of Salia’s Northern Five States and the Elegant Goddess, and they accepted his leadership rather than leave the peninsula.
• Ace’s alliance confronted Pontos and ordered him to leave Salia; Ace agreed to let him take ten thousand believers in exchange for an emerald-green leaf from the Reflection World.

Ace consolidated his control over Salia, annihilating the Abyssal Projection and clearing the elves from both the surface and Reflection World. As wars spread and gods’ Immortal Fruits came under threat, he offered the Salia gods protection for their fruits in his Demiplane, and Hercules Norton agreed to swear an oath with him.

• Ace ordered Pontos to leave Tsimari Port and had Hercules Norton expel the Merfolk and half-Merfolk, then designated the abandoned port as a free city for Mythical Wizards.
• Ace burned the ruined world inside the emerald-green leaf and destroyed the Abyssal Projection Site with more than ten thousand stars.
• Hercules Norton and six other gods exterminated the elves in northern Salia, while Ace purged the Reflection World with his spell Stars Descend.
• Ace approved Thoth’s demigod projection studying Magic in the Floating City and allowed Betty, Lich Vite, and Bayern to conduct a joint experiment on the captured elven demigod.
• Media warned that gods needed to retrieve their Immortal Fruits as wars intensified, and Ace offered to shelter the fruits of gods who swore an oath with him.
• Hercules Norton agreed to swear an oath of mutual aid, mutual benefit, and mutual respect with Ace.

Ace formed an alliance among the Kaya Gods and expanded the Magic Net into the Reflection World, where he sensed a mysterious presence tied to the emerald moon. He then rescued the God of Craftsmen from three Guardian Gods, making his overwhelming power and growing reputation known among the gods.

• Ace offered the True Gods a mutual oath and an alliance under his leadership, and Thoth and the others accepted Star Marks before departing.
• Ace placed a Dream Star in the Reflection World and began spreading the Magic Net through it, after sensing a towering presence connected to the emerald moon.
• Ace answered the God of Craftsmen's call and found him injured while facing three Guardian Gods who had taken his Immortal Fruit.
• Ace trapped the Three Guardian Gods with his countless stars and immense gravity, and the watching gods identified him as the Dream God and spread his name.
• At the God of Craftsmen's urging, Ace agreed to spare the Guardian Gods after they begged for mercy and promised not to oppose him.

Ace secured the God of Craftsmen’s Immortal Fruit and added it to a Destiny Stele in the Dream Realm while Salia’s gods gathered their other Immortal Fruits. After Vite revealed a spell that temporarily transformed liches into living people, Ace and the wizards went to the Reflection World to test their more important experiment on a Verdant Secret Realm.

• Ace increased gravity until the three gods surrendered Bakar’s Immortal Fruit, then released them after they swore an oath.
• Ace accepted Bakar’s Immortal Fruit as a token of allegiance and embedded it in a Law of Destiny, which became a Destiny Stele.
• The God of War obtained another Immortal Fruit after a foreign god fled from Ace, and Salia’s leaders assigned wizards and a rotating True God to develop the Reflection World.
• Vite demonstrated his Living Transformation spell, which temporarily turned him from a lich into a living person, and said his team’s other experiment was ready for practical testing.
• Ace visited Media’s elegant palace in the Reflection World, then took her and the three Mythical Wizards to a nearby Verdant Secret Realm.
• Vite flew into the Verdant Secret Realm and began preparing the experiment.

Vite demonstrated a spell that transformed the Verdant Secret Realm’s elves into undead, and Ace tasked him with expanding lich-making in the Reflection World. Meanwhile, Thales and Blainia investigated ether and light, and Bru concluded that detecting ether wind required testing the secondary effect of Earth’s motion, which he called ether drift.

• Vite converted his vitality into deathly power, killed the elves throughout the Verdant Secret Realm, and raised their corpses as undead.
• Ace authorized Vite to develop liches and magical schools in the Reflection World corresponding to Salia, then returned to the Floating City.
• Ace found Alesha among the Floating City’s inhabitants but chose not to approach her, then returned to his tower on Earth.
• Thales and Blainia hypothesized that transparent media partially dragged ether and confirmed with flowing water that light was dragged along with it.
• Bru and his friends rotated an experiment to search for ether wind but saw no change in the interference fringes.
• Bru reasoned that uniform motion could not reveal ether wind and proposed searching for its secondary effect, naming it ether drift.

Bru, Eva, and Luther tested for aether drift with an interferometer built by Valen, but their experiment found no measurable difference in the speed of light. Thales and Blainia proposed length contraction and time dilation to defend aether, while Ace arrived at the Floating City.

• Allen joined Valen's plans to create miniature magical computers and a Magic Net, leaving Bru, Eva, and Luther to pursue their interferometer research without him.
• Valen sent Bru a precision light interferometer, and Bru, Eva, and Luther used it to test for aether drift but found that the interference fringes barely changed as the apparatus rotated.
• Bru published the null-result experiment with Valen, Luther, and Eva; Thales and Blainia repeated the test and obtained the same result, challenging the foundations of electromagnetism.
• Ace published a paper on elliptic geometry, while the null result unsettled wizards studying electromagnetism and caused some Mindscapes to shatter or freeze.
• Thales proposed that aether caused moving objects to contract, and Blainia derived the Blainia Transformation Formula and concluded that clocks also slowed down in motion.
• Ace descended from the Demiplane into the Floating City and entered the Central High Tower, declaring that the time was ripe.

Ace learned the God of Knowledge’s location, seized the Knowledge Domain from an Outer God, and added two Immortal Fruits to the Destiny Stele. Back in the Floating City, he began writing a theory of electrodynamics that challenged absolute spacetime as rain poured over the city’s sky.

• Ace arrived at the Floating City, where Thoth reported that Kaya the God of Knowledge was in the Reflection World and that Bai En would send the Three Sons of Dreams to Dream Star.
• Ace traveled to Kaya’s location, watched an Outer God of Knowledge strip Kaya’s Domain, then trapped the Outer God and took both Immortal Fruits and the Knowledge Domain.
• Ace returned to his Demiplane, fed the two Immortal Fruits to the Destiny Stele, and resumed refining the World Tree leaf through his True God projection.
• Ace began writing “On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies,” arguing that the speed of light was constant and that time depended on signal speed; a storm intensified outside the Floating City.

Ace unveiled Special Relativity, a theory that rejected the need for ether and described time and space as relative, while the Great Source gave rise to new spell models. The theory devastated several wizards whose Mindscapes relied on electromagnetic mechanics, and Ace explained that it expanded rather than overturned their existing theories.

• Thales sensed an ominous disturbance as Ace wrote a paper proposing the Principle of Relativity and the Principle of Invariant Light Speed.
• Rule-grade runes gathered around the Central High Tower, and the Great Source produced two spell models for Ace: the Nine-ring Four-Dimensional Gate and the Ten-ring Construct Four-dimensional Space.
• Ace shared his paper, “On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies,” with the Supreme Council, and Thales and other wizards suffered severe Mindscape backlash when they read its rejection of ether.
• Ace used his divine power to stabilize the affected wizards, though Thales, Blainia, and Laval remained with shattered and frozen Mindscapes.
• Ace named the new theory Special Relativity, described four-dimensional spacetime, and explained that Mechanics of Magic was its low-speed approximation.

Ace explained special relativity and four-dimensional spacetime to the Supreme Council, prompting the wizards to grasp the implications of light cones, length contraction, and time dilation. Back in his Demiplane, Ace began constructing Four-Dimensional Gate, which he hoped would become a major trump card for the wizards.

• Ace used mathematical models and a holographic insect to explain worldlines and four-dimensional spacetime to the wizards.
• Thoth, Vite, and Bayern discussed how spacetime and light cones shaped their understanding, while Bayern privately imagined a Spell that could exile an opponent into impossible spacetime.
• Ace explained length contraction and time dilation, and Blainia clarified how measurements differed between moving reference frames.
• Thoth declared that mathematics could serve as the wizards’ means of understanding higher dimensions, while Blainia comforted Thales after his cognition shattered and re-formed.
• Ace returned to his Demiplane, paused the refinement of the World Tree leaf, and used the Great Source’s gift to construct Four-Dimensional Gate, briefly glimpsing a particle faster than light.

Ace opened high-dimensional rifts to accelerate the Magic Net’s spread across the Inner World and built a four-dimensional Time-Space Lock around Salia and the Dream Star. After visiting Medimous City-State and seeing his former teacher Peter, Ace answered Daina’s call and appeared at the Central High Tower as the wizards faced a mysterious barrier.

• Ace opened nearly a hundred thousand high-dimensional rifts, gathered divine power essence, and unleashed the Magic Net across the Inner World and Reflection World.
• Ace entered the Four-dimensional Secret Realm and constructed a Time-Space Lock around Salia, the Dream Star, and its projection, trapping the region beneath the Fallen Saint Storm.
• Ace descended into Medimous City-State, disguised himself as a Second Ring wizard, and spotted his former teacher Peter but chose not to approach him.
• The Supreme Council learned that a mysterious force had sealed the borders of Salia, preventing wizards and gods from leaving, and Daina used her pendant to contact Ace.
• Ace felt Daina’s call and appeared at the top of the Central High Tower before the gathered wizards.

Ace spread the Magic Net across the Inner World while Thoth negotiated a covenant with the Kaya Gods, and the Outer Gods attacked the Dream Star. As Ace derived the mass-energy equation and formed nuclear spell models, the equation’s revelation shook the world, while the Magic Net and Ace’s defenses remained under pressure.

• Ace explained that he was spreading the Magic Net throughout the Inner World and authorized Thoth to negotiate a mutual-benefit covenant with the gods.
• Ace lectured on relativity, then returned to his study to investigate whether a body’s inertia depended on its energy.
• Thoth began negotiating with Alshanlu as the Outer Gods launched an assault on the Dream Star, and the Kaya Gods chose to watch rather than intervene.
• Ace’s Time-Space Lock trapped attacking gods in separate timelines, while he used energy from high-dimensional rifts to sustain the barrier.
• Ace completed the mass-energy equation, triggering a powerful phenomenon and inspiring the Nuclear Fusion and Nuclear Fission spell models.

Ace created a nuclear-fission spell and used it to devastate the Elven Gods besieging Salia after negotiations failed. He trapped the survivors in a field of explosions and radiation, while the other gods reconsidered their alliances with him.

• Ace formed the Nuclear Fission Root Spell Model and gathered nearly ninety percent of Salia's Titan Element to use as casting material.
• Ace confronted the Elven Gods and offered them a chance to withdraw, but their representative demanded that he abandon the Magic Net.
• Ace unleashed over twenty thousand nuclear-fission strikes on the Elven Gods, killing many and leaving most of the survivors gravely wounded or asleep.
• Ace used Galaxy Descent to contain the explosions and trap the surviving Elven Chief Gods amid the heat, neutron impacts, and radiation.
• Thoth and the God of Harvest witnessed Ace's victory, and the God of Harvest offered to revise his demands and seek an alliance with Ace.

Ace defeated the Elven gods, established the Magic Net throughout the Inner World, and gained the Great Source’s recognition. With the Titan Sovereigns absent, he then used his power to become the acknowledged ruler of the Inner World, though Bayern and Thoth questioned the alliance’s stability.

• The Salia Gods and Supreme Council wizards observed Ace’s catastrophic attack, while Betty analyzed its heat and soul-destroying force.
• Athena watched the explosion from the north pole and resolved to destroy the remaining fragments of the former Goddess of Hope.
• Ace compressed the surviving souls of three Elven Chief Gods into a miniature black hole, while the Titan Sovereigns learned that a new Goddess of Hope had appeared in Kaya.
• Ace placed the black hole in his Demiplane and struck the trapped Elf Outer Gods, allowing the Magic Net to spread throughout the Inner World.
• Ace sensed the Great Source’s recognition of the Magic Net and saw its Law positioned above the Dream Law in Kaya’s Rule Layer.
• Over three years, Ace forced the gods and humanity to swear allegiance, establishing himself as the Inner World’s ruler; Bayern and Thoth suspected he sought pseudo-supremacy.

Ace used the Inner World to experience a stable four-dimensional state and temporarily advanced the Magic Net’s laws to Supreme Laws, forging a firm bond with the primary material plane. A century later, Magic had transformed society as the gods retreated, and Luna brought Daru Bai En to see the advanced Floating Cities of Thoth City-state.

• Ace entered the Four-dimensional Secret Realm and discovered that true Level Six advancement required Supreme Laws to stabilize his four-dimensional particle state.
• Ace resonated with the Inner World and witnessed how its collective consciousness responded to civilizations, the gods, and the Fallen Saint Storm.
• Ace used the Inner World to achieve pseudo-four-dimensional particleization, temporarily make the Magic Net’s laws Supreme Laws, and establish a firm connection with the primary material plane.
• Over the next hundred years, gods withdrew from worldly affairs as Magic spread, new mortal powers rose, and Floating Cities became centers of advanced industry.
• Luna took her apprentice Daru Bai En to Thoth City-state, updated his appearance, and showed him a Floating City’s modern magical metropolis.

Daru, Alsop’s son, gave up his divine bloodline so he could pursue wizardry and traveled with Luna to Lingard Floating City to meet the body-modifying Mythical Wizard Caroso. After exploring the city with a taxi driver, they reached Caroso’s tower, where a tiger-headed humanoid came out to meet them.

• Daru recalled how witnessing Bayern’s Nuclear Magic convinced him that wizards could surpass gods, and he resolved to study Nuclear Magic.
• Unable to learn ordinary Magic because of his powerful bloodline, Daru persuaded Alsop to remove it, leaving him an ordinary person without Magic Talent.
• Luna escorted Daru to Lingard Floating City to meet Caroso, a Mythical Wizard skilled in human body modification.
• Daru and Luna rode with Wang Erde, who showed them around and described the Floating Cities before delivering them to 13 Mogri Street without charging them.
• Luna revealed the enormous wizard tower between Numbers 13 and 14, and a tiger-headed humanoid emerged from its courtyard.

Daru underwent Caroso’s transformation and began his wizard studies at the Ring of Academia, where Bayern’s lecture on relativity helped him envision his future path. The chapter left Daru listening as Bayern outlined unresolved questions about gravity and inertial frames.

• Fang welcomed Luna and Daru to Caroso’s tower, where Caroso took Daru away and used a Perfect Magic Enlightenment Potion to transform him.
• Daru woke as an Advanced Magic Apprentice with a Soul Secret Treasury Space, and Luna took him to the Ring of Academia before departing.
• Daru adapted quickly to life at Elgorden Magic School, advanced to third year, and chose to pursue Magic rather than the sorcerer’s path.
• Bayern visited the school and explained how apprentices could build a path based on relativity, prompting Daru to consider constructing a life-star system in his Mindscape.
• Bayern described two unanswered questions in Special Relativity and explained the prevailing view that gravity did not act across distance.

The Supreme Council approved separate projects for researching True Gods and the Immortal Fruit, then sent its members and selected wizards through the Gate of Ascension. As the wizards traveled toward the Magic Sanctuary, Ace began developing a new law of relativity and explored how gravity and acceleration could be distinguished.

• Bayern opened the Supreme Council meeting, where Thales reported progress on the artificial Demiplane and Vite proposed research using sealed Level 5 specimens.
• The Supreme Council approved Vite's True God research using sixty-three specimens but prohibited taking living specimens into four-dimensional spacetime, while Logan received a separate Immortal Fruit research project with permission to enter four-dimensional spacetime.
• Bayern organized the wizards' journey to the Gate of Ascension, and more than a hundred wizards invoked Ace to open the passage to the Magic Sanctuary.
• Ace observed that wizards had neglected theoretical research and began writing a new article arguing for a law that applied to all reference frames.
• The wizards entered the Galaxy Universe and traveled toward Silver Heart as Blainia asked Thales where the force pushing them through the passage came from, and he could not determine its source.

Ace developed the equivalence principle and general relativity, concluding that gravity curved spacetime and bent light. Meanwhile, wizards entered the Magic Sanctuary’s Sea of Consciousness, where one Legendary wizard relived the founding of the Age of Magic and received a mark from a colored light.

• Ace wrote that gravity and acceleration were locally indistinguishable and argued that physical laws should hold in all coordinate systems.
• Ace used the bending of light to explain that gravitational fields curved spacetime, stirring the Great Source.
• Bayern led the wizards into the Magic Sanctuary’s Sea of Consciousness and warned them not to become absorbed in it.
• A colored light struck a Legendary wizard, making him relive a life that ended during a Demonic Beast attack on the city.
• The Legendary wizard awoke, reflected on the Age of Magic he had helped make possible, and received a mark on his left hand.
