Chapter Summaries

After five years of growth, the Gem Order prepared to make the pregnant Matilda Holt its Saintess and use her as the vessel for Gem Elder’s descent. John, Klyster, and Pol entered Matilda and Count Tour Kuri’s dreams to recruit them, but John and Klyster became trapped in dangerous deeper dreams while Pol fought off their hostile dream figures.

• Ace instructed the Order to recruit believers with pure-red fates and develop pale-red fates as outer members, establishing separate inner and outer ranks.
• John and Klyster agreed to recruit believers, gain influence in Holt’s secular elite, and govern the Order through a High Priest Council; they also discussed the preparations for their Lord’s birth.
• Over the next five years, the Gem Order rose in Holt City, while the Night Watchers failed to uncover its members and Morton Manor was destroyed during an Inquisition raid.
• John, Klyster, and Pol identified Matilda Holt, pregnant wife of Count Tour Kuri, as the vessel for Gem Elder’s descent and arranged to bring the couple into the Order.
• The three entered the couple’s fused dream, where John and Klyster knocked them unconscious and followed them into deeper dreams as Pol stayed behind to fight the hostile dream figures.
• John found Matilda’s dream filled with powerful snow monsters and fled with her after he could not defeat them.

John and the Gem Order prepared a citywide ritual to bring Ace into the Mortal Realm, while Matilda’s warning led Kakarudo to forge a convincing substitute pendant for her father’s inspection. The ritual succeeded, and Ace descended through Klyster as dawn broke, reaching Matilda in the Holy Mother’s room.

• John entered Matilda’s deepest dream and changed the contents of her faith box from devotion to Brilliance to devotion to Gem Elder.
• Pol escaped the hostile dream with John, Matilda, Klyster, and the Count, and all five awoke after the meteor destroyed part of the manor.
• Duke Holt questioned Matilda’s pendant, so John summoned Kakarudo through Dreamscape to forge a lookalike that Dr. Kuka approved.
• Gemstone Cultists secretly laid a citywide ritual, while Augusger helped mislead the Night Watchers and John prepared Klyster as the vessel for Ace’s descent.
• Ace descended into Klyster, crowned himself with the Sacred Crown, and followed Saint John through the city’s ritual toward Matilda.
• At dawn, Ace entered the Holy Mother’s room, where the Stone of Procreation resonated with the Sacred Crown and formed a rainbow bridge between them.

Six-year-old Ace attempted to enter Mansus through a silver mirror, while John insisted that Ace was the Gem Order’s Lord and helped guide him through the dream. As the Time Controllers mobilized against the Wizard World, Ace’s dreamscape collapsed, and John brought him to the City of Gems in the Wilderness Dreamscape.

• Ace was born through a ritual that drew the Church of Time Controllers into a vortex, and John declared that he, Matilda, and Klyster would lead the Gem Order until Ace came of age.
• Six years later, Ace planned to use a mirror ritual to enter Mansus and asked Matilda for help; she arranged for John, Pope of the Gem Order, to protect him.
• Ace performed the Wandering Dwelling Glimpse Ritual, and Matilda’s gem destroyed the hostile beings that emerged from the mirror before Ace and John entered the dream.
• John told Ace that he was the Gem Order’s Lord, born from beyond the world and separated from his memories, but Ace remained doubtful as the dream began to collapse.
• In the True Wandering Dwelling, twenty Time Controllers decided that Brilliance and six Time Controllers would lead an assault on the Wizard World.
• John carried Ace through the Rotating Church and a teleportation gate, then welcomed him to the City of Gems in the Wilderness Dreamscape.

Ace discovered that the Gemstone Dreamscape was tied to a strange memory of a past life, then learned that six Time Controllers were approaching the Wizard World. As the world prepared for conflict, he accelerated its defenses and began planning to strengthen its foundations with the Three Thousand Dream Gods; the chapter ended with Ace summoning the Legendary wizards to discuss the crisis.

• Ace entered the Gemstone Dreamscape, saw a memory of being born into a blacksmith's family, and fainted before waking in bed.
• Daru decoded Ace's information stream and warned the Supreme Council that six Sovereigns were invading, prompting Bayern to activate the Wizard World's Controlled Nuclear Fusion thrusters.
• Ace returned from four-dimensional spacetime, confirmed that six Time Controllers were approaching, and ordered the Wizard World to stop accelerating at ten percent of light speed and wait for them.
• Ace planned to elevate the Three Thousand Dream Gods into a stronger foundation for the Wizard World, then opened hundreds of thousands of high-dimensional rifts to power its travel.
• Ace summoned the Legendary wizards and went with Bayern to the sea of consciousness, while the others speculated about the approaching Time Controllers and the need for a wartime power system.

Ace and the legendary wizards addressed infiltration, shared curvature research, and the Wizard World's energy shortage before voting to enslave most deities and enacting the Deity Enslavement Act. The chapter then shifted to Alexander, a young wizard on the neglected agricultural planet Solde Star, where he rejected the idea that his future was limited to farming.

• The Supreme Council gave Leon authority over the True Name World infiltration plan and approved sharing the curvature map and Level 5 runes under oath.
• Ace divided the legendary wizards into three rotating groups to generate power, then urged them to adopt a long-term strategy of exploiting deities.
• Thales argued for coexistence and fairness, but Ace called for a vote, and most legendary wizards supported conquering and enslaving other kinds.
• The wizards refined their decision into the secret Deity Enslavement Act, which classified legendary wizards as First-class citizens, exempted deities as Second-class citizens, and enslaved the rest.
• Ace privately accepted responsibility for the policy, saying fear of the danger that had driven them from Kaya made him unwilling to show mercy.
• On Solde Star, Alexander's roommate Joshua complained about the planet's isolation, while Alexander defended studying classic magical mechanics and refused to become a Life Magic farmer.

Alexander dreamed of leaving his agricultural planet for New Athena Star while Ace pursued a path to power beyond Level 5 and prepared to confront the six Time Controllers. After Ace’s True Name World incarnation became a Named One, Ace destroyed the pursuing Time Controllers near the Wizard World and seized several True Names.

• Alexander resolved to graduate from Solde Agricultural University and study mechanics on New Athena Star.
• Ace abandoned his attempt to build an Eleventh-ring Spell Model and decided to use the Wizard World’s Great Source to reach pseudo-Level Six and attack the approaching Time Controllers.
• In the True Name World, Ace’s Gem Order carried out a ritual that helped him enter the Unnamable Realm, where he condensed a True Name Imprint and became a Named One.
• The Time Controllers ordered the slaughter of Gemstone Cultists, and Holy Mother Saint Matilda accepted martyrdom while the Time Controllers waited for Ace beyond the Peacock Gate.
• Ace accelerated the Wizard World toward the approaching Time Controllers, whose Demiplanes were shattered by Strategic Nuclear Fusion warheads.
• Ace used Black Hole Annihilation to engulf the six Time Controllers and their followers, then pursued their remnants and extracted the True Names of three Time Controllers and more than fifty Named Ones.

Ace became the Outer Primal Time Controller, freed the Named Ones imprisoned in the Outer Realm, and split the Mansus's authority from Eternal Night. As the Wizard World began its invasion of the weakened True Name World, Alexander arrived at Fourth Spiral Arm University and chose to study relative mechanics.

• Ace was expelled from the Mansus by Eternal Night and learned from the imprisoned Named Ones that the Time Controllers had trapped them in the Outer Realm rather than destroying their True Names.
• Ace gathered the Outer Realm's power, freed its prisoners, and established the Outer Time Court, splitting the God King's authority and reuniting the Outer Realm with the True Name World.
• Brilliance awakened and told Eternal Night that he did not know how the other party had shattered the True Names of three Time Controllers.
• Ace turned a black hole into a white hole, then ordered the Wizard World to travel toward the True Name World and begin a world-level conquest.
• The Inner and Outer Time Controllers fought the War of the Fallen Gods, while John defected to the Outer Realm; ten years later, Alexander and Geldoro enrolled at Fourth Spiral Arm University.
• Alexander chose Fundamental Theory of Relative Mechanics, surprising the person registering his discipline.

Alexander chose to study relativistic mechanics rather than pursue Geldoro’s lucrative dream-research plans, while the Wizard World and True Name World united under Ace and Eternal Night before their forces clashed. The battle ended with Ace’s black-hole attack turning into a white-hole eruption that devastated the Time Controllers and dissolved much of the True Name World’s crystal wall.

• Alexander rejected Geldoro’s advice to pursue a high-paying career and registered for Relativistic Mechanics Theory Research, while Geldoro chose Magic Computer Application and Dream Research.
• Ace and Eternal Night reconciled, merged their Royal Courts of Time, and agreed to serve as Virtual Time Controllers while the other Time Controllers ceded them part of their status gains.
• Thirty years later, the Multiverse Wizard World met the True Name World, and the Wizard World’s forces prepared for war as both sides deployed their Time Controllers.
• Ace appeared at the front, embraced Eternal Night, and hurled a black hole at the bound Great Ones and the assembled Time Controllers.
• The black hole swallowed the Demiplanes and transformed into a white hole, whose eruption destroyed the Time Controllers and dissolved more than half of the True Name World’s crystal wall.

Ace destroyed the True Name World’s Eternal Night True Name, drew Mansus into the Multiverse Wizard World, and began merging their cores. Meanwhile, Alexander helped Geldoro launch the Dreamscape Terminal before returning to his research, and Ace’s wizards successfully tested a Transdimensional Magic Generator using the Holy Light Angel’s body.

• Ace destroyed the Eternal Night True Name, then used the Wizard World’s power to pull Mansus into its particle cluster and form a dual-core structure.
• Alexander visited Geldoro’s company and helped solve the technical problems in his Dreamscape Terminal in exchange for patent rights.
• The Dreamscape Terminal spread across Athena Planet, and Geldoro offered Alexander company shares and a leadership role, but Alexander chose to focus on foundational Magic theory.
• Geldoro expanded his company through licensing and entertainment worlds, became a star figure in the Star River Alliance, and advanced to Level 3 Legend.
• Ace announced the Deity Resurrection Plan and Deity Enslavement Act, with the Holy Light Angel chosen as the first test subject.
• Vite and the legendary wizards successfully activated a Transdimensional Magic Generator made from the Holy Light Angel’s sealed body.

Lich Vite and Valen’s teams developed Divine Soul Computers and Transdimensional Magic Generators, which Ace used to expand the Wizard World’s power while enslaving captured gods. After visiting Silver Heart, Geldoro sought Divine Soul Computers for a private virtual world, while Alexander’s cathode-ray experiments led him to prove the existence of electrons and advance to Legendary wizard.

• Vite and Valen’s team divided divine souls into millions of particles, creating immortal Divine Soul Computers, while Vite began researching the division of physical bodies.
• Ace guided Sulu and eight other Mythical Wizards into four-dimensional spacetime; Sulu gained an Immortal Fruit with Ace’s help and was warned that his understanding of the fourth dimension remained insufficient.
• Vite’s team divided a Holy Light Angel’s body into 130 portions, and Ace ordered Named Ones’ bodies and souls converted into generators and computers; he also used enslaved gods’ Demiplanes to strengthen the Great Source.
• Geldoro visited Silver Heart, saw the Transdimensional Computing Cube, and returned to Athena Planet determined to acquire Divine Soul Computers for a private Gensokyo.
• Alexander adapted Thales’s cathode-ray experiment, measured a negatively charged particle far smaller than an atom, and published evidence for the electron, earning enough Great Source feedback to become a Legendary wizard.

After his cathode-ray research earned recognition, Alexander accepted a professorship at the Second Ace Magic University and arrived to begin studying blackbody radiation. Donna and Lou Xilu asked him to help resolve a conflict between their formulas, and they nominated him for the Betty Alchemical Gold Medal.

• Donna and Lou Xilu praised Alexander's cathode-ray paper and discussed how it confirmed Ace's discovery through mortal research.
• Alexander declined Geldoro's invitation and the other offers, accepted a position at the Second Ace Magic University, and traveled to the First Ring of Academia.
• During the voyage, Alexander explained how curvature travel combined near-light-speed travel with jumps through natural faster-than-light channels.
• Lou Xilu and Donna welcomed Alexander to the university and told him he would join the Thermodynamics Department with access to a research laboratory.
• Donna and Lou Xilu described the conflicting Donna and Lou Xilu formulas for blackbody radiation and asked Alexander to help resolve the problem.
• Alexander agreed to investigate blackbody radiation while continuing his microscopic research, and Donna and Lou Xilu recommended him for the Betty Alchemical Gold Medal.

Alexander derived a blackbody radiation formula that required energy to come in discrete quanta, earning the Betty Alchemy Award and advancing to an Epic Wizard through Great Source feedback. As the discovery provoked debate across the wizard academic world, Daru encountered the Legendary wizard Bru.

• Alexander spent months deriving a blackbody radiation formula, and Donna confirmed that it matched experimental data.
• Donna brought Alexander to the Betty Alchemy Award ceremony, where Betty presented him with a gold medal and the Cup of Disorder.
• Alexander explained that energy came in integer multiples of a constant times frequency, and Great Source feedback advanced him to an Epic Wizard.
• Betty decided Alexander's discovery should be shared with all wizards, and Donna took a warrant to publish it on the Magic editorial office's front page.
• Alexander's paper sparked widespread debate, while Bru and Allen discussed how to challenge its implications for electromagnetic waves.
• Daru, who had struggled to find a mentor, encountered the Legendary wizard Bru.

Daru and Bru used the Photoelectric Effect to support the conclusion that light consisted of discrete particles, intensifying the Wizard World’s scientific dispute. As the result spread, a struggle between Ace and the Wandering Dwelling Will destabilized the world, and the Legendary wizards gathered to help Ace.

• Daru proved that electrons escaped during the Photoelectric Effect, and his experiments disproved his idea that electromagnetic energy simply accumulated until electrons broke free.
• Daru and Bru accepted that light quanta explained the Photoelectric Effect, and Daru wrote the paper concluding that light was made of discrete quanta whose energy depended on frequency.
• Daru announced his conclusion to the gathered wizards, provoking arguments between the Electromagnetism School and supporters of particle theory.
• The Wizard World began fluctuating from the microscopic to the macroscopic, and Bayern, Betty, and Thales entered the Great Source and found Ace struggling against the Wandering Dwelling Will.
• Bayern called the Legendary wizards to support Ace, and more than fourteen hundred Immortal Legendaries entered the collective Subconscious Sea as a message began spreading across the Star River Alliance.

After the extraordinary beings united their wills to help Ace subdue most of Mansus, its lingering influence made microscopic research unreliable. At the Supreme Council’s enlarged meeting, the wizards approved a Great Conquest Era, and Ace proposed wave-particle duality as a way to describe light.

• Extraordinary beings across the world joined their wills with the Legendary wizards, helping Ace infect most of Mansus and contain the Wandering Dwelling Will.
• Ace warned that the remaining influence of Mansus would disrupt spellcasting and prevent reliable observation of the microscopic realm for roughly four hundred to a thousand years.
• Alexander, Donna, and Lou Xilu attended the enlarged Supreme Council meeting, where Alexander reunited with Geldoro and learned that microscopic experiments remained chaotic.
• Ace called for the Great Conquest Era, and nearly 140,000 attendees voted to conquer other worlds and capture gods to reduce entropy.
• Thales and the Awakening Faction objected to enslaving immortal beings, but most attendees supported the conquest plan.
• When wizards asked about light’s conflicting properties, Ace proposed wave-particle duality, prompting debate despite the inability to test the idea.

After the Multiverse Wizard World ascended to the Astral Sea Four-Tiered Stratification, Ace advanced into a four-dimensional existence and established Supreme Dreamscape and Magic Net Laws. He revived a mortal version of Athena from the painting she had once given him, then formed incarnations to visit Athena, Yamila, and Daina.

• Alexander confirmed that atoms consisted of positively charged nuclei and external electrons, and Bru developed a quantum model of electron orbits and transitions.
• The Multiverse Wizard World ascended, and Ace absorbed Mansus's remnants to advance his Dream Law into a Supreme Law and construct layered dreamscapes.
• Ace entered four-dimensional spacetime, established his Supreme Magic Net Law, and prepared to gather more curvature runes for his Eleventh-ring Spell Model.
• Athena emerged from the painting as a mortal girl whose memories ended before Ace left Medimous City-State, and Ace welcomed her back.
• Ace created an incarnation to accompany Athena, then formed other incarnations beside Yamila and Daina.

After the Wizard World returned to the fourth tier of the Astral Sea, Ace set out plans to explore Kaya World and share Level 6 Runes. Meanwhile, experiments on quantum mechanics and matter waves culminated in Alexander’s double-slit research, whose unpredictable results shattered his Mindscape and left him unconscious in the void.

• Ace convened the Supreme Council and ordered wizards to chart Level 4 planes, investigate Kaya World, and share Level 6 Runes unconditionally.
• Daru, Bru, Alexander, and Donna founded the Geltu Institute and published their matrix-based work on quantum mechanics.
• Thomson developed the theory of Matter Waves, and Ace’s praise helped persuade wizards to take it seriously.
• Alexander confirmed electron diffraction and wave-particle duality through experiments, then observed interference in a double-slit test.
• Alexander found that electron detections were individually unpredictable despite their overall probability pattern, and the shock collapsed his demi-plane and left him unconscious in the void.

After Alexander's experiment destroyed his Mindscape, the Geltu School's leaders read his log and replicated the experiment, causing Legendary wizards to fall into long sleep. Geldoro entered Alexander's subconscious to rescue him, but found Alexander insisting that the uncertain outcomes of the microscopic world were reality and that the world was not beautiful.

• Donna, Lou Xilu, Bru, and Daru found Alexander alive after the Demiplane's destruction, but his Mindscape was ruined and he remained unconscious.
• Bru cautiously opened Alexander's experiment log, then replicated the electron double-slit experiment; his Demiplane exploded and he fell into long sleep.
• Daru took Alexander's and Bru's logs, while other Legendary wizards who read and replicated the experiment also fell into long sleep.
• Geldoro arrived at Geldoro Planet with dream-diving equipment and entered Alexander's subconscious, piecing together the fragmented university dream before reaching its root.
• Geldoro found Alexander amid visions of particle experiments, but Alexander explained that a certain cause could produce an uncertain effect and refused to leave the dream.

Alexander resumed his electron experiments and published findings that challenged classical determinism, triggering deaths and unrest across the Wizard World. Thomson developed a statistical approach to quantum mechanics, and Ace returned to endorse it before preparing to become the first Eleven-ring Wizard.

• Geldoro urged Alexander to abandon macroscopic assumptions, and Alexander repeated his experiment with electrons emitted one at a time, again observing interference fringes.
• Alexander published a report describing microscopic randomness and single-electron interference, while Bayern reviewed it and died when his replicated experiment destroyed his Demiplane.
• Thomson replicated the experiment, formulated Probability Theory and Mathematical Statistics for the microscopic world, and published a tentative approach to quantum mechanics.
• As the experiment's publication was followed by hundreds of Legendary wizard deaths and widespread unrest, Ace returned, suppressed the rebellion, and praised Thomson's paper at the Supreme Council.
• Ace's endorsement helped settle the dispute and revive research into probability, while she returned to her quasi-plane to prepare for advancement to the eleventh ring.

Ace became an Eleven-ring Transdimensional Wizard and left to investigate the giant threatening Kaya World. Meanwhile, Thales and Blainia revived wave theory with their wave equation, but the dispute between wave and matrix mechanics remained unresolved despite their mathematical unification under quantum mechanics.

• Ace constructed his Eleventh-ring Spell Model, gained control over four-dimensional space-time, and began rapidly expanding his demiplane’s stellar systems.
• Ace received a warning from Vite describing a gigantic, terrifying existence near Kaya World, then departed to investigate and told the Wizard World not to panic.
• Ten-ring Wizards led by Betty resumed their duties while debate over quantum mechanics continued in Ace’s absence.
• Thales and Blainia established the wave equation, restoring Thales’s Mindscape and demiplane and earning him the nickname the Undying Bird.
• At the 571st Frontier Theory Academic Conference, Thales defended wave theory against Daru and other supporters of matrix mechanics, but neither side prevailed.
• Betty gathered Blainia, Alexander, Thomson, and other mathematical masters, who showed that the two methods were mathematically equivalent and unified them under quantum mechanics.

As the wizards revived Legendary scholars, the Geltu School and Thales’s allies fought over quantum mechanics, probability, and determinism. Daru derived the uncertainty principle, and Alexander’s interpretation of observation left the conference declaring that causality and determinism had fallen.

• The wizards used controversy and transdimensional magic power to revive Bru and Bayern, while Thales continued arguing against quantum mechanics.
• Bru and Daru led the Geltu School in attaching probability to the wave function, prompting Thales and Bayern to oppose their interpretation.
• At the 572nd Academic Conference, Daru withdrew to calculate and derived the Daru Uncertainty Principle, then argued with Bru over whether it came from wave-particle duality.
• Alexander proposed that observation determined whether electrons displayed wave or particle behavior, and the verification experiment matched his prediction.
• Alexander concluded that unobservable states had no meaning and that causality and determinism no longer held.
