Chapter Summaries

Ace derived General Relativity and entered four-dimensional spacetime to study its curvature, then introduced the new theory to the Supreme Council. The wizards began rethinking space and time before Blainia tested a miniature black hole with a dense piece of metal.

• Bru warned Atar to avoid streams of consciousness in the Sea of Consciousness, and Atar’s blessing helped calm and focus him.
• Ace completed his General Relativity equations, drew on the Great Source’s power, and entered four-dimensional spacetime to record curvature patterns and collect two Level 6 Runes.
• Ace gathered the Supreme Council and used a journey through the Galaxy Universe to present General Relativity, prompting Bayern, Betty, and the others to study its principles.
• Bayern and Thales connected spacetime curvature to spatial movement and layered spaces as Ace brought the wizards near a miniature black hole.
• Blainia threw a dense piece of metal toward the black hole, and its gravity stretched the metal and pulled it inside.

Ace redirected the wizards from surveying Kaya’s curvature channels to developing Artificial Demiplanes as part of a plan to raise the Wizard World Cluster into a mobile Astral Sea civilization. Vite became an Immortal Legendary Wizard, while Ace resumed work on a secret four-dimensional refuge for Immortal Fruits.

• The Supreme Council approved a project to map natural curvature channels, but Ace urged the wizards to pursue artificial curvature and told them to prioritize Artificial Demiplanes.
• Ace revealed his plan to move the Wizard World Cluster and help it ascend to the level of Level 3 worlds, using a Level 3 world as a mobile fortress and Artificial Demiplanes as warships.
• Ace decided that creating Artificial Demiplanes and an Artificial True God required linked research, and Vite requested permission to conduct experiments in four-dimensional spacetime.
• Vite advanced to become an Immortal Legendary Wizard by distorting and solidifying his past into an Immortal Fruit, with Ace guiding him through dimensional ascension.
• Ace explained how wizards concealed their Immortal Fruits and promised to share details of a hidden refuge if his Spell succeeded.
• The wizards began their Artificial Demiplane research near Dream Star as Ace secretly attempted to cast Construct Four-Dimensional Spacetime to create a refuge for Immortal Fruits.

Ace created a microscopic spacetime to hide the Immortal Fruit and established ways to resurrect himself, while wizard civilization advanced rapidly over the next century. The chapter ended as a family watched a broadcast introducing the newly completed Artificial Demiplane and its expert, Lord Vite.

• Ace used a remnant of a Level 4 world to create a microscopic spacetime and placed the Immortal Fruit inside it.
• Ace built a resurrection mechanism that could be activated by a trusted person or by the passage of one thousand standard years.
• Wizard civilization expanded as the Magic Net spread, the gods and wizards agreed to divide the continents, and Arno and Auli created the Virtue Paradise for Ancesta's Virtue Holy Light.
• After nearly a century and a half of work, thirty-four Legendary wizards and three thousand Mythical Wizards completed the Artificial Demiplane project.
• A family entered a broadcast through a stealth Magic ring and watched the host introduce Lord Vite as an authority on True Gods and Artificial True Gods.

Ace prepared to move the wizard civilization into four-dimensional spacetime after sensing an ominous disturbance in the World Rule Layer. Jeanne awakened as the Goddess of Hope, and her World Tree power spread through three and four dimensions, merging with the Fallen Saint Storm as the Mobile Fortress began its ascent.

• A broadcast about the Artificial True God Alpha One showed the Witch, Soron, and Ambrio confronting how far Magic had outgrown their old world.
• Jeanne awakened through the Witch and Soron's strange ritual, made a contract with the emerald power, and absorbed their soul fragments while erasing their memories of the past.
• Ace sensed Augustine's name flickering in the Rule Layer and was forced out by an emerald power, then warned Athena about the anomaly.
• Ace summoned the Supreme Council and ordered the wizards to descend immediately to the Level 3 astral plane aboard the Mobile Fortress.
• Athena embraced Ace and reassured him after he delivered his warning, while the wizards mobilized and boarded the fortress.
• Ace led the Mobile Fortress into four-dimensional spacetime as Jeanne's World Tree emerged, spreading the Law of Hope into four dimensions and merging with the Fallen Saint Storm.

Ace escaped Kaya with the Mobile Castle as the Great Tree World’s power surged and the worlds began fusing, then learned that the Wizard World Cluster was enduring a long war against the True Name World. While Ace’s projection ordered the Wizard World Cluster to ascend, Ace and the wizards searched for it after its coordinates vanished; the chapter ended with the True Name World’s Brilliance Church discussing the missing Wizard World.

• The World Tree’s emerald power erupted, and Ace moved the Artificial Demiplane away from Kaya before continuing its jumps toward a lower Astral Sea Stratification.
• Ace explained to the Legendary wizards that he had fled because the rising Law of Hope fragments filled him with unease, then ordered the Mobile Castle to cross the Astral Sea membrane.
• Ace’s projection and the Wizard World Cluster’s Mythical Wizards debated their decades-long war against the True Name World, and Ace ordered the world to ascend.
• Ace and the arriving wizards could not find the Wizard World Cluster’s coordinates, so Ace concluded that it had entered the Astral Sea membrane and began an uninterrupted search.
• Brilliance and Holy Light discussed the Wizard World’s disappearance and its unexpected growth during the war against the Brilliance Church.

Ace organized the Legendary wizards to map the Astral Sea’s four-dimensional curvature while the Multiverse Wizard World ascended to the third stratum. As the True Name World prepared an invasion, Lou Xilu and eight other Mythical Wizards began advancing into Named One-level existence, and their half-planes transformed into Demiplanes.

• The Holy Light Angel accepted a halo from Brilliance and was ordered to lead the vanguard against the Wizard World, supported by three hundred Named Ones and six thousand False-Named Ones.
• Ace tasked the Legendary wizards with mapping four-dimensional spacetime curvature in exchange for Secret Vault points and discounted access to his Ten-Ring Spell Models.
• The Wizards observed the Multiverse Wizard World ascend to the third Astral Sea stratum, and Ace ordered the seven Wizards at the Mythical Limit to prepare for advancement.
• The Holy Light Angel discovered the Wizard World’s location, and Brilliance promised him a chance to become the twenty-seventh Time Controller if he conquered it.
• Lou Xilu entered the fourth dimension, formed an Immortal Fruit by twisting his history, and transformed his half-plane into a Demiplane alongside eight other Wizards.

Lou Xilu received Ace’s advanced wizard theory and chose the Unstable Black Hole Technique as the foundation for his demiplane, while Ace pursued a way to recover his former demiplane. As Mobile Castle and Holy Light Angel neared the Multiverse Wizard World, Ace observed a violent transformation in Kaya World and saw a possible opportunity.

• Ace summoned the newly advanced Legendary Wizards, offered them General Relativity, Level 5 runes, and sixteen Nine-Ring Spell Models on credit, and the wizards signed the public oath.
• Lou Xilu studied General Relativity and the available Spell Models, then exchanged his credit for the Unstable Black Hole Technique.
• Lou Xilu struggled to understand the four-dimensional runes, so Ace extended his credit to cover Gate of Ascension and Dimensional Scar, accelerating his research.
• Mobile Castle and Holy Light Angel approached the Multiverse Wizard World as the thirty-four demiplanes followed, and Holy Light Angel declared that the Wizard World’s fate was sealed.
• Ace entered Level 4 stratification and observed Kaya World’s four-dimensional state merging with a cluster of particles, then resonated with another projection in Kaya World.

Ace evacuated nearly thirty billion inhabitants and most of the High Tower wizards from Kaya with Athena’s help, escaping as the World Tree’s transformation and the Titan Sovereigns’ assault threatened the world. After reuniting with the Mobile Castle in the Astral Sea, he explained the danger, and the wizards accepted that they would need to grow stronger before returning.

• Ace asked Athena to help him escape Kaya with the High Tower wizards, and she agreed to open a way for his Demiplane two days later, though she could not leave herself.
• Ace painted Athena’s portrait, and she gave him a Youthful Hope Fruit concealed within the canvas before he left to prepare the evacuation.
• Ace moved the residents of more than a thousand Floating Cities into his Galaxy Universe, while Ancesta and Arno chose to remain in Kaya to protect the people of Faith Virtue Holy Light.
• Athena used the Kaya Great Source’s power to open a gap in the emerald-green barrier, allowing Ace’s Demiplane to escape Kaya and enter the Astral Sea.
• Ace’s Demiplane caught up with the Mobile Castle, whose wizards prepared to attack until Ace identified himself and was admitted.
• Ace told the wizards that Kaya faced an unexplained crisis and that they lacked the strength to remain; the Legendary wizards agreed that escape was safer and that they would need to become stronger before returning.

Ace led the wizards’ withdrawal from Kaya to the Multiverse Wizard World, explained the threat posed by Level Six beings, and prepared them to face the True Name World’s invasion. After arriving, he organized the defense and helped more than five hundred legendary wizards ascend dimensions and begin creating Demiplanes.

• Ace briefed the Supreme Council that the wizards would abandon Kaya for the newly advanced Level 3 Multiverse Wizard World, where they could escape the dangers of the Titan Sovereign and develop their strength.
• Ace used a Dream World to explain how four-dimensional beings overwhelmed three-dimensional ones, and the wizards agreed to unite against the True Name World’s invasion.
• More than four hundred Mythical Wizards advanced to legendary during the journey, and Ace’s group reached the Multiverse Wizard World after half a year as the Holy Light Angel’s vanguard drew near.
• Ace assigned Bayern to lead forty legendary wizards against the approaching enemy and directed the others to prepare Demiplanes, strengthen the Magic Net, and defend their new home.
• Ace gave divine power essence to the legendary wizards without Demiplanes and opened Gates of Higher Dimensions so they could ascend together and establish new anchors.

Ace reshaped the Wizard World's Main Material Plane, installed the Magic Net and prepared the Legendary wizards to face an approaching enemy. As the world absorbed higher-dimensional energy and expanded, three Legendary wizards detected a sharp rise in its stars and Magic.

• Bayern created and stabilized a half-plane, ascended it into four dimensions, then formed a miniature universe inside it with a black hole and a white-hole-like explosion.
• Ace expanded the Main Material Plane into a galaxy, placed the Magic Net core and other institutions at its center, and elevated the Magic Sanctuary's status.
• More than five hundred Legendary wizards created Demiplanes around the Wizard World, while Ace sent twenty Demiplanes to meet the approaching enemy force.
• Ace spread the new Magic Net throughout the Wizard World and instructed Legendary wizards to train, select Spells, and prepare to confront the invaders.
• Ace opened nearly one hundred thousand higher-dimensional rifts at the Magic Net core, channeling their energy into the Great Dream Source and rapidly expanding the galaxy.
• Three Legendary wizards measured a steep increase in the galaxy's stars and Magic Concentration, then decided to ask their teacher what had caused it.

Betty, Bayern, Valen, Thales, and Blainia developed the Ring of Heat Death and adapted its technology into the imprisonment spell Heat Death Cage, preparing it as a contingency for the coming invasion. The True Name World’s force arrived near the Wizard World with thirty-four Named Ones, and Holy Light summoned them to plan their attack.

• Betty, Bayern, and Valen discussed creating a Legendary Magic Item that could isolate enemies and drive them toward heat death.
• Thales and Blainia joined the research, and the five Legendary wizards built a vast ring containing a hollow Demiplane divided into isolated systems.
• After finding that the ring would take thousands of years to annihilate its prisoners, Betty proposed turning its technology into an imprisonment spell, and the group created Heat Death Cage.
• Betty gave Lou Xilu and the other defending wizards scrolls for Heat Death Cage, while Bayern explained how to use its layered systems to trap enemies and attack them with delayed Small Sunset Glows.
• Holy Light and the True Name World’s forces reached the Wizard World, and thirty-four Named Ones gathered before the Mirror of Divine Feathers to prepare for the invasion.

Bayern and the wizards stopped the True Name World’s invasion, killed many attackers, and captured the survivors inside a Heat Death Cage. After the battle, Ace absorbed the invaders’ Demiplanes into the Multiverse Wizard World and continued pondering the nature of reality.

• Bayern ordered the twenty-one Wizard World Demiplanes to deploy the Formless Magic Net and trap the advancing enemy Demiplanes.
• The Holy Light Angel urged the Named Ones to destroy the Wizard World’s future military strength, but the wizards counterattacked and killed seventeen Named Ones, including two defeated by Lou Xilu.
• As the surviving invaders gathered to retreat, Bayern ordered the wizards to activate the Heat Death Cage and capture them.
• The Holy Light Angel’s combined attack failed inside the cage, and Ace used Comprehension to dissipate its energy before the wizards sealed and retrieved the prison.
• Ace reflected on the world’s successive layers of reality, then used the controller’s power to draw all thirty-four Demiplane particles into the Wizard World’s core.

Ace used Dream Law to infiltrate the captured namebearers’ memories and learned the True Name World’s hierarchy, while the Wizard World grew stronger and prepared to flee. Ace’s projection reached the True Name World with a hidden avatar, as the Wizard World began preparations for a long-term pursuit.

• Ace absorbed the collapsed demiplanes into the Wizard World and ordered Betty to interrogate the prisoners for information about the True Name World.
• Ace Projection used a nested dreamscape to infiltrate the Holy Light Angel’s prison and drew him into an endless dream after the angel escaped and reached the True Name World.
• Ace learned that the True Name World had twenty-six Time Controllers, namebearers, and false-named ones, and told Betty and the others to study the captives without killing them.
• Ace kept his main body in the Wizard World to strengthen its foundations and sent a projection to escort a weak dream-thought avatar toward the True Name World.
• Ace’s other projection organized Mythical Wizards to install Controlled Nuclear Fusion thrusters on the Wizard World’s Crystal Wall, while Legendary wizards pursued their own research and grew stronger.
• Ace’s True God projection arrived at the True Name World, which appeared as two worlds joined by a long tube, and revealed the hidden avatar within a radiant crystal.

Ace infiltrated the True Name World by hiding a thought avatar in a world remnant, which became part of New Aberdovi Island. The island’s settlers built a colony, and the chapter ended with Klyster secretly carrying off a ruby from the river as he set out with John and Gale to gather herbs.

• Ace disguised himself as a small world remnant, embedded a dream crystal inside it, and let a false-namer's half-plane carry it into the True Name World.
• Sylvia led settlers to New Aberdovi Island, where more than two thousand believers sacrificed themselves in a ritual to drive away the island’s mist and ill omens.
• More settlers arrived and established a colonial outpost, while Ace’s dream crystal traveled through the island’s geology and surfaced as a ruby in a river.
• Klyster slipped into the river, found the ruby, and hid it from John and Gale, then persuaded them to search for gemstones with him.
• Klyster kept the ruby hidden against his chest aboard the ship, and the next morning John woke him so the three could gather medicinal herbs.

John and Klyster sold the black ginseng they had gathered with Gale, then survived an attack when Klyster’s ruby destroyed their pursuers. Ace, whose clone had hidden within the gemstone as a native god, planned to reach the two men through a dream as the chapter left them sleeping safely outside Holt City.

• John, Gale, and Klyster gathered black ginseng until shadowy monsters attacked, killing Gale despite Klyster’s ruby pinning and destroying the creatures.
• Captain Durr had Gale cremated according to sailors’ tradition, and John and Klyster carried his ashes and remaining wages for delivery to his family.
• John and Klyster sold seventeen black ginseng roots for three gold coins, keeping one each and reserving the third for Gale’s family.
• John and Klyster realized they were being followed, but Klyster’s gemstone caused their attackers to vanish in a burst of dreamlike colors.
• Klyster prayed to the gemstone as the Lord of the Gemstone, while Ace’s clone reflected on the world’s rejection of him and resolved to communicate with John and Klyster through dreams.

Ace shaped a dream from John and Klyster’s beliefs, and they awoke with real injuries and new powers after surviving its woodland trial. They returned to their village as Ace considered building a Secret Cult around them, while John worried that giving Gale’s family a gold coin would endanger them.

• John convinced Klyster that they had entered the Divine Dreamscape described in The Locksmith's Dream, and the pair imagined a trial leading through a monster-filled woodland.
• John and Klyster prayed to an imagined lord, and a ruby-bearing flame drove away the monsters before the dream shattered.
• Klyster awoke with a bleeding back wound, which the flame healed; John discovered that his own azure flame enhanced his mind and memory.
• John and Klyster tested their powers over the following days and concluded that they had gained healing and mental enhancement without completing the trial or receiving a True Name.
• Ace considered using Klyster as a candidate for reincarnation and forming a Secret Cult with John as its first follower.
• John and Klyster returned to their village, where John said giving a gold coin to Gale's family could put them in danger.

John and Klyster returned to their village with Gale’s ashes and wages, then prepared to seek the Gemstone’s Trial while winter kept them from sailing. After using dried Ox Tongue Flower Neck to reenter the dreamscape, they reached the Pure White Gate and faced the next stage of the trial.

• John persuaded Klyster to give Gale’s family his remaining wages first and keep the Gold Coin hidden, then they told Gale’s family that he had died of sepsis and concealed the truth about the monster and ruby.
• John handed the Gold Coin to Klyster for safekeeping and planned to spend the winter teaching him to read while they waited for the deaths of the gang members to be forgotten.
• John and Klyster traveled to Rogue Town and bought dried Ox Tongue Flower Neck, which they burned to help them enter the dreamscape again.
• John and Klyster entered the dreamscape, passed the Rotating Church, and followed John’s guidance through the woodland toward the Pure White Desert.
• John and Klyster crossed the mist among phantom dead and reached the Pure White Gate, where Klyster trembled and asked whether they should continue.

Ace established the Gem Order with John and Klyster, then guided them toward discovering their pursuits and powers through dreams. Klyster became a Gemstone Apostle with an Origin Crystal and learned that completing his ruby would require devoted meditation and trials beyond the Pure White Gate.

• Ace welcomed John and Klyster into his land of the dead, gave them True Names, and founded the Gem Sect while appointing John the Gem Pope and Klyster the Gem Guardian.
• John decided they should strengthen themselves before recruiting believers, then used his remembered copy of The Locksmith's Dream: Glimmer in the Hole to guide Klyster toward finding his pursuit.
• Klyster chose to guard those who pursued truth, gained a shield-shaped imprint, and entered the Rotating Church, where Ace's power drew him into the Gemstone Dreamscape.
• Klyster meditated beneath a gemstone tree, obtained a Meditation Gemstone and a Guardian Gem, and combined them into an Origin Crystal to create his exclusive dreamscape.
• John explained that Klyster had become a Gemstone Apostle, and Klyster learned that he needed devout meditation and trials beyond the Pure White Gate to complete his ruby.

Ace established the Gem Order’s strategy of cultivating a few elite believers and using rituals to gain power, while John and Klyster built their business and sought entry to Holt’s Mysterious Realm. Klyster demonstrated the Health Gem’s healing power and was accepted as an ordinary member of the Holt Mysterious Council.

• Ace explained that secret sects depended on ritual actions and elite believers, and he planned to explore the Wandering Dwelling Dreamscape for its connection to the Great Source.
• John and Klyster used their gems to establish a successful potion shop in Holt City, then went to Morton Manor to seek membership in the Mysterious Realm.
• John and Klyster attended the manor’s buffet reception, where they drank a rare potion that could extend a person’s lifespan by one year.
• Mrs. Morton invited Klyster to demonstrate his healing ability, and he used the Health Gem to heal a servant after stabbing him with a longsword.
• The Holt Mysterious Council accepted Klyster as an ordinary member and offered him the chance to provide regular services at Morton Manor.

Half a year after joining Morton Manor, Klyster prepared to leave for the Gem Order’s headquarters, where John had built a protected Dreamscape trial ground and recruited Pol. As the Order’s wealth and influence grew, a sudden surge of magic power stirred their basement, leaving John and Klyster on alert.

• O'Henry negotiated a one-year mutual-choice contract with Klyster, making him Morton Manor’s physician and splitting his treatment income with the manor.
• Six months later, Klyster left Morton Manor and used his Light and Shadow Gem to travel unseen back to the Gem Order’s headquarters.
• John’s Dreamscape crystal and small collecting crystals let believers train in a safer trial ground, where dream injuries had reduced effects in reality.
• John met Pol in the Gem Trial Ground, recognized his potential through the Lord’s Trial, and helped him join the Gem Order.
• Klyster found John training in the basement and added his earnings to the Order’s growing stores of coins, occult knowledge, and magical items.
• The basement’s magic formations lit up, the Mana Pool began boiling, and John opened his eyes as the magic power fluctuated strangely.
