Leo learned that Yaoyao had added another shadow line to the statue anchoring his soul, but Yaoyao refused to explain it until Leo reached Level Four Stigmata Wizard. After the Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard completed the hidden mission and Leo's expedition failed, Leo took Benji and the Gulu Beasts to attack metal fortresses and earn the million battle merits he owed.

• Yaoyao brought Leo to the Shadow World and showed him a second shadow line attached to the statue protecting his soul, but said he would explain it only when Leo reached Level Four Stigmata Wizard.
• Leo learned that the Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard had completed the mission, so he recalled his wizard legion and learned the sacred-ground murals had already been submitted for battle merits.
• Leo met Benji and the thirty thousand remaining Gulu Beasts, told them the mission had failed, and said they would earn the million battle merits by taking metal fortresses.
• Leo reported to the command hub and led the Gulu Beasts into battle, clearing metal fortresses as they made their way back.

Leo finished repaying his battle-merit debt, then returned to the mothership when the Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard recalled the expeditionary forces. As three billion transformed Cyborg metal figures approached, the wizard revealed a vast animated metal ocean and began throwing slaves into it.

• After a year of fighting with thirty thousand Gulu Beasts, Leo earned one million battle merits and paid off his debt, then sharply reduced his pace.
• Leo noticed that warships were hauling captured fortress wreckage to the mothership, but he did not understand why the Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard was collecting it.
• Five months later, the Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard recalled the wizards and slave armies for an all-out offensive, and Leo returned with his Gulu Beasts.
• During Leo's return, the silent metal fortresses across Rota World transformed into metal figures, and the mothership assessed that more than three billion were advancing toward it.
• Leo found the wizard army waiting beside a vast animated metal ocean while the Cyborg army drew near, and the Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard finally appeared.
• The Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard declared that he would give the wizard army metal defenses, then swept unsuspecting slaves into the metal ocean.

The Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard used animated metal to enhance the expeditionary army, giving its members powerful defenses and stronger attacks as they prepared to conquer Rota World. Leo tested how the metal worked on his army and himself, while Yaoyao hinted that he might gain the ability someday and then denied saying it.

• The Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard forced the slaves into the metal ocean, and they emerged covered in animated metal that greatly increased their defense and attack power.
• The Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard ordered the army to conquer all of Rota World within ten years, and Leo and the Gulu Beasts entered the ocean to receive the enhancement.
• Leo found that the metal did not cling to Yaoyao's semi-illusory body, while the Gulu Beasts retained the same amount of metal when they activated their true forms.
• Leo concluded that the Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard had acquired the animated metal from a fallen World Lord and used it to enhance the expeditionary army.
• Yaoyao muttered that he would have animated metal someday, then denied saying it when Leo questioned him.
• Leo shaped his metal coating into a giant form with a sword and tested its defense, finding that it could withstand attacks of 5,000 points.

Leo joined the battle against the Metal Legion, first trying out a showy flying-sword attack before using his Gravity Domain to crush the cyborgs’ vulnerable flesh-and-blood bodies. After ten minutes, his mana ran low, and he prepared to use a nuclear bomb to replenish it.

• The Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard ordered the enhanced slaves and wizards to charge the approaching Metal Legion, while Leo held back with Yaoyao and the Gulu Beasts.
• Leo shaped animated metal into a fan of flying swords and attacked from the air, but struggled to kill the cyborgs because their weak points were small.
• Benji rampaged through the enemy army in his seventy-meter true form, killing more metal figures than Leo’s swords did.
• Leo transformed the swords into a giant staff, then used his Two-hundredfold Gravity Domain to kill cyborgs across a wide area by crushing their flesh-and-blood bodies.
• The star mothership and warships bombarded the level-three metal figures, while Leo stopped using the Gravity Domain after his mana ran low.
• Yaoyao suggested that Leo return to recover, but he pulled a nuclear bomb from the Shadow Space.

Leo used a nuclear bomb to save Benji’s Gulu Beasts and help them reinforce their defensive line, then faced a force of more than a hundred Level Three metal combatants despite his depleted mana. He activated his Thunderstorm Giant bloodline and charged into the Metal Legion, meeting its cannon barrage head-on.

• Leo detonated a nuclear bomb that killed and froze nearby metal men, giving Benji’s endangered Gulu Beasts time to shorten and thicken their defensive line.
• Yaoyao reported that the bomb’s lethal range had shrunk to two kilometers and that it had killed no more than twenty thousand metal soldiers.
• The Metal Legion’s commander sent more than a hundred Level Three combatants after Leo, who stood alone beyond the battle line.
• Leo activated his Second Layer Thunderstorm Giant bloodline and told Yaoyao to replenish his mana through nuclear fission.
• Leo charged into the Metal Legion with his animated-metal club and ran straight into the opening barrage from a thirty-meter metal giant.

Leo, as the Thunderstorm Giant, battled the Metal Legion and discovered that the animated metal giants could only be killed by destroying the cyborg flesh inside them. He annihilated the troops surrounding him with his Two-hundredfold Gravity Domain, then began restoring his mana as the command center asked how long he could maintain the ability.

• The Thunderstorm Giant charged the Metal Legion, smashing large and small metal giants while their bodies repeatedly repaired themselves.
• He focused on beating one level-three metal giant, then tore open its chest and destroyed the cyborg's lone flesh hand with lightning.
• The Thunderstorm Giant activated his Two-hundredfold Gravity Domain, crushing the cyborgs inside every metal soldier within its range.
• After thirty seconds, the Metal Legion within 6,400 meters had solidified into statues, and Leo withdrew the domain with only 30% of his mana remaining.
• Leo used Nuclear Fission Grand Witchcraft to replenish his mana, and someone at the command center asked whether he could maintain the ability for long.

Leo arranged for the command center to supply his Gravity Domain with a steady stream of energy so he could attack the Metal Legion without exhausting his mana. From a protected warship, he unleashed 250-fold gravity across the battlefield and rapidly slaughtered hundreds of thousands of metal soldiers with every breath.

• Leo told the command center that his Gravity Domain consumed too much mana to sustain for more than half a minute without an external energy source.
• The command center dispatched ten warships, including one equipped with an Energy Absorption Magic Array and three hundred Elemental Wizards to replenish Leo's mana.
• Leo entered the warship and used the array to keep his mana reserves full as the fleet carried him above the battlefield.
• Leo activated a 250-fold Gravity Domain behind the fighting, crushing more than a thousand members of the Metal Legion at once.
• Gawass increased the warship's speed as Leo's attacks kept pace, and the live feed showed hundreds of thousands of Metal Legion soldiers dying with every breath.

Leo used the warship’s energy pool and the Energy Absorption Magic Array to sustain his Gravity Domain, then transformed into a Thunderstorm Giant and pushed its strength to the limit. At 380 times normal gravity, he finally killed the seventy-meter level three metal giants.

• Leo asked Gawass to obtain energy crystals, but central command instead ordered the warship’s energy pool connected to the Energy Absorption Magic Array.
• Leo secretly used the supplied energy to replenish the Godslaying Staff while his Gravity Domain slaughtered the weaker Metal Legion troops.
• Gawass calculated that Leo was killing an average of five hundred thousand enemies per minute, while Leo said he could not kill the strongest metal giants at his current gravity multiplier.
• Leo increased the Gravity Domain’s multiplier, draining the array and energy pool until he activated his Second Layer Thunderstorm Giant Bloodline to withstand the energy flow.
• Leo raised the Gravity Domain to 380 times normal gravity, crushing the seventy-meter metal giants into solidified statues.

Leo’s Gravity Domain turned the battle against the Metal Legion, but the Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard restricted his attacks to one hour each month to limit expenses and preserve the enemy’s forces. Leo accepted the order, unaware that the Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard planned to contact him personally, while the Metal Legion’s main forces remained years away.

• The commander judged that Leo’s battlefield performance earned him a Second-Class Wizard Medal, but the Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard resisted paying for it.
• The Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard ordered Leo’s overclocked attacks limited to one hour per month, and the commander reluctantly agreed to relay the restriction.
• The Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard watched the battlefield display as Leo’s Gravity Domain killed Metal Legion troops, including seventy-meter metal giants, and decided to help Leo once.
• Inside the warship, Leo used his second-stage bloodline power to channel immense energy through his body and sustain his Gravity Domain while three hundred elemental wizards served as energy-absorption nodes.
• The command center told Leo to end his attack in ten minutes and announced that the Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard would contact him personally; Leo agreed to stop.
• The command center’s footage showed that the Metal Legion’s rear forces would take ten years to reach the battlefield.

Leo ended his battlefield assault after greatly weakening the Metal Legion, then rested while the wizard army refined its tactics and the Godslaying Staff finished charging. The Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard offered him a choice between a medal and battle merits or a chance to experience Level Three power and study his notes, and Leo asked what else the second offer required.

• Leo stopped using his Gravity Domain, returned to the battlefield, and later withdrew to rest with his fully charged Godslaying Staff.
• Benji scolded his Gulu Beast descendants for careless fighting, while Leo noted that his attacks had cut the first Metal Legion wave by more than half.
• The wizard army changed its defenses and researched ways to locate the living parts of Cyborgs as Leo relaxed in the rear.
• The Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard told Leo he would not have to repay the remaining mission compensation and offered him a Second-Class Wizard Medal after the war.
• The Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard offered Leo a choice between the medal and his battle merits or an opportunity to experience Level Three power and study his notes.
• Leo recognized the second offer’s exceptional value but asked whether the Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard had other requirements.

Leo received the Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard’s notes and a chance to experience Level Three power, then spent two years using his Gravity Domain to devastate the Metal Legion. As the two remaining World Lords appeared and prepared to fuse, Leo was ordered to join a magic array meant to help eliminate them.

• The Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard offered Leo his Elemental Body Refinement notes and a chance to experience a Level Three Great Wizard’s power, and Leo chose that reward over battle merits.
• Overcome with excitement, Leo unleashed his Thunderstorm Giant Bloodline on the battlefield, then returned each month to crush the Metal Legion with his Gravity Domain.
• After two years of fighting, the two remaining World Lords appeared, and the Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard confronted them as the Metal Legion’s forces dwindled.
• The Level-Four World Lord offered to submit, but the Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard rejected the surrender, prompting the two World Lords to fuse.
• The command center told Leo to prepare a Level-Surpassing Amplification Magic Array aboard the mothership and join the effort to surround and eliminate the World Lords, despite Leo being only Level Two.

Leo was amplified to level three through a magic array linked to ten thousand Elemental Wizards, and he realized the Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard had brought him there to test his courage and control. As the World Lord battle erupted and disrupted the energy around him, Leo continued trying to master the turbulent elemental energy and reach the control required of a Level Three Wizard.

• Leo accepted the Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard's opportunity and went to the mothership, where Gawass prepared him to use a Level-Surpassing Amplification Magic Array.
• Ten thousand Elemental Wizards linked their mental power and mana to Leo, letting him perceive elemental energy in intricate detail and manipulate it outside his body.
• Leo concluded that the Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard had intended to test his courage and ability to control energy, rather than send him into the World Lord battle.
• The World Lord and the Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard began fighting, while the mothership and three amplification arrays drew in and churned the surrounding energy.
• Leo struggled to control the violent elemental energy, calculating its future changes and repeatedly trying again despite his failures.

Leo struggled to stabilize energy and construct witchcraft modules while observing the Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard dominate the fused World Lords of Rota World. After nearly two hours, the Wizard had reduced the metal giant World Lord’s height from 750 meters to 740 meters.

• Leo repeatedly tried to stabilize energy and calculate witchcraft nodes, but the World Lords’ battle kept disrupting his work.
• Leo observed the Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard overwhelm the fused World Lords with precisely controlled attacks that broke through their energy surges.
• Leo judged that the three Level-Surpassing Amplification Magic Arrays and the mothership’s energy cannon could only offer limited support against the metal giant World Lord.
• The Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard’s blows tore away the metal giant’s body, and the World Lord’s height fell from 750 meters to 740 meters in about two hours.

Leo watched the Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard batter the World Lord, who revealed a cosmic treasure that let him absorb the Metal Legion and metal from across Rota World. The World Lord grew to ten thousand meters and launched a devastating punch, while the Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard remained defiant.

• Leo suspected the Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard’s elemental body-refinement path involved the spatial system as the Wizard wore down the World Lord.
• The World Lord summoned silver particles from the Metal Legion and Rota World to form a small, rotating metal object that the Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard recognized as a cosmic treasure.
• The World Lord merged the treasure into his chest, drawing in metal streams and growing until he reached ten thousand meters tall.
• Leo and the other wizards felt the giant’s overwhelming pressure, but the Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard dismissed his size as no proof of strength.
• The World Lord hurled a punch toward his enemies, triggering danger alarms aboard the mothership from more than ten kilometers away.

The Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard and the armies attacked Rota World's ten-thousand-meter metal giant, whose immense strength and regeneration made him difficult to harm. As the battle continued, Leo focused on learning to create nuclear explosions outside his body, while the wizard gave him ten days before he had to join the fight.

• The metal giant struck the Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard with a punch that shattered space, but the wizard later appeared unharmed.
• The Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard told Leo he had ten days to prepare before joining the battle, then attacked the giant with Space Rending Great Witchcraft.
• The armies concentrated their attacks on the giant, whose limited, seemingly mindless attacks and rapid regeneration kept the fight going.
• Leo suspected that merging with the universe-grade metal body had robbed the World Lord of his reason.
• Leo stopped watching the battle and began practicing how to create nuclear explosions outside his body.

Leo failed to construct an external nuclear explosion during his ten days with the Level-Surpassing Amplification Magic Array, but he discovered a direction for reaching rank three. He joined the battle against the metal giant and used his newly boosted mental power to test nuclear-fission attacks, which reached far greater strength than before.

• Leo repeatedly failed to complete the framework for an external nuclear explosion while the metal giant continued attacking the wizard army.
• After ten days, the Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard told Leo to stop using the Level-Surpassing Amplification Magic Array, and Leo accepted, having found his future direction at rank three.
• Leo transformed into a Thunderstorm Giant and fired a nuclear-fission beam at the metal giant, producing an attack power of 20,000 points without injuring it.
• Leo realized his nuclear-fission efficiency had reached about fifty percent and asked Yaoyao to record his test data.
• Leo fired repeated nuclear-fission beams using increasing amounts of nuclear material and recorded their fission efficiencies and attack powers.

Leo used the battlefield to finish collecting data on nuclear fission and found that two grams produced attacks with about 50,000 power. He assessed his amplified shadow abilities and Indestructible Body while the expedition army continued attacking the metal giant, and then joined the assault himself.

• Leo concluded that two grams of nuclear material consistently produced nuclear fission attacks exceeding 50,000 power.
• Leo assessed that his level-three mental power and the Godslaying Set had increased his shadows to 96, expanding their area and range.
• Leo considered the potential defenses of a level-three Indestructible Body and feared that its evolution could trigger uncontrollable hunger if his bloodline unlocked.
• Leo withdrew his shadows and joined the wizard army, using two grams of nuclear material for each fission beam against the metal giant.
• The expedition forces continued their coordinated assault on the metal giant for two years.

The Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard sacrificed millions of slaves to hold the metal giant in place while four million surviving wizards formed a supermassive Level-Surpassing Amplification Magic Array. The array activated as he began chanting a powerful spell, and the space around the distracted giant started to separate from normal space.

• After two years of relentless attacks, the wizard army saw the metal giant's regeneration weaken, though he had killed ten million slaves, five hundred thousand wizards, and destroyed thousands of warships.
• The Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard ordered the remaining slaves to hold the giant back while the wizards assembled a supermassive Level-Surpassing Amplification Magic Array.
• The slaves charged at close range and swarmed over the giant, dying in huge numbers but stopping him from advancing.
• Leo led ten thousand Elemental Wizards to the designated site, and Yaoyao briefly left before returning and signaling that the array was ready.
• Four million wizards activated the array with the Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard at its center, while Leo remained at his node and helped maintain the energy flow.
• The Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard chanted as space around the giant began to separate from normal space, but the giant failed to sense the danger.

The Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard used a spell amplified by four million wizards to trap and relentlessly sever the metal giant, reducing him to nearly powder. He then began a world-powered Matter Sealing Technique to contain the giant, a process Leo realized would take at least a month.

• The Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard completed a half-hour chant and cast Space Cage and Severing Great Witchcraft on the metal giant and the slave army.
• The spatial cage cut the fleeing slaves apart and inflicted rapidly healing wounds across the metal giant's body.
• The metal giant tried to smash the cage, but spatial cuts severed his arm and then tore his body into countless pieces.
• The Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard kept the spell active for three days, reducing the metal giant nearly to powder as Rota World's consciousness receded.
• The Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard drew energy from Rota World and began casting the Matter Sealing Technique on the metal giant.
• Leo recognized the sealing spell taught to him by Mountain Range Guardian Garijivich and estimated that sealing the metal giant would take at least a month.

After Rota World's metal giant was sealed, Leo prepared to return home with the surviving Gulu Beasts, despite being unable to pay them their promised battle merits. A year later, Leo collected the wizard notes owed to him and returned to the Wizard World, where Alice and the Gulu Beasts were protecting his Tree of Life and using nearby wild beasts as food.

• The Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard completed the Matter Sealing Technique after a month, trapping the metal giant's powder and ending the expedition.
• Leo found Benji and the surviving Gulu Beasts, told them to rest and gather souvenirs, and agreed to accompany Yaoyao to the two World Lords' metal fortresses.
• A year later, Leo returned to the reshaped Rota World, found the Gulu Beasts waiting, and said he would collect the wizard notes before going home.
• Back in the Wizard World, the Tree of Life attracted wild beasts, so Alice sent adult Gulu Beasts to hunt them and protect the territory.

After returning from a thirty-year expedition, Leo found that Alice was beginning her breakthrough to Level Two and waited outside the sealed ice palace. While surveying the territory, he read a wizard’s notes and realized that advancing his elemental and body-refinement sides separately could split his path and ruin his future progress.

• The Gulu Beasts welcomed Leo, Yaoyao, Benji, and the returning ancestors after their thirty-year absence.
• Leo sensed Alice pushing against her limits and recognized that she was advancing to become a Level-Two Elemental Wizard, so he avoided disturbing her.
• Leo surveyed the territory, finding fifty thousand Gulu Beasts at level one or above, including three thousand at level two, while the Tree of Life continued absorbing energy from the World Tree branch.
• Leo waited outside the sealed ice palace with his recliner and read the Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard’s notes on elemental body tempering.
• Leo learned that Elemental Body Refinement Wizards needed to advance their elemental and body-refinement sides together, and realized his separate advancement plan could have severed his path as a wizard.

Leo realized the Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard had warned him not to advance his elemental side before his body refinement side, and he reflected on the unresolved mysteries of the Rota World expedition. While waiting for an opportunity to unlock his next bloodline tier, Leo began studying Earth’s advanced science and planned to investigate spatial magic.

• Leo understood that the Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard had used their trade and notebook to steer him away from advancing separately, and he felt he owed the wizard a great favor.
• Leo learned from the command center that the Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard had completed both hidden missions and ordered the team to remain after the Rota World expedition, while the expedition’s mysteries remained unexplained.
• Leo considered the strange circumstances surrounding the cosmic-grade metal body and resolved to revisit the Rota World questions when he was stronger.
• After Benji and the others harvested their first batch of fire essence flowers, Leo finished reading the Undying Body Academy library and took out books on Earth’s advanced theories.
• Leo decided to study spatial magic while holding back his elemental advancement until he could unlock the third tier of bloodline power.

Leo studied spatial theory for four years, then watched Alice break through to level two and reunited with her. After spending a year together in the ice palace, Leo planned to ask the Purple Flame Stigmata Wizard for Alice’s hand, while Alice quietly suggested they live among ordinary people.

• Leo connected relativity and spacetime curvature to the longer lifespans and heightened perceptions of higher-level wizards, and studied spatial theory to prepare for future spatial spells.
• Benji and his descendants harvested four crops of Fire Essence Flowers while Leo studied, and he realized four years had passed.
• Alice broke through to level two after her aura rose within the ice palace, and Leo congratulated her when she came out.
• Leo pulled Yaoyao away from Alice and led her into the ice palace, where the doors stayed shut for a year.
• Leo told Alice he would ask the Purple Flame Stigmata Wizard for her hand after her mental power reached 200 points, and Alice suggested they visit a city of ordinary people.

Leo and Alice settled in Falling Sunset Village to experience ordinary life, building a home and earning the villagers’ trust. After preparing to fish with the village fleet, Leo cast his first net at sea.

• Leo and Alice chose a quiet seaside village where they could live apart from the wizard world.
• The couple settled in Falling Sunset Village, built a house, and received help and supplies from the villagers.
• Leo learned to handle his boat while Alice adapted to cooking and managing their home.
• Leo and Alice planned to repay the villagers’ kindness by fishing and selling their catch in a larger town.
• Leo joined Uncle Luoke and the other fishermen at dawn, followed their boats out to sea, and cast his net where they signaled.

Leo and Alice settled into village life as Leo caught and salted fish, then joined Alice in the mountains to gather wild fruit. The chapter left Leo planning to set traps and hunt game in the mountain range.

• Leo used ordinary fishing skills to catch fish with Uncle Luoke’s fleet, then shared most of his catch with the villagers.
• Alice told Leo she had gathered wild fruit in the mountains, and he asked her not to go there alone because of the wild beasts.
• After half a month of fishing filled their home with salted fish, Leo entrusted his family’s stock to Uncle Luoke and the other villagers to sell in town.
• Leo joined Alice in the mountains, where he climbed a fruit tree and gathered ripe fruit for them to take home and share with Auntie Luoke and the others.
• Seeing signs of abundant wildlife, Leo decided to set traps and catch game the next day.
