• The teacher began to say that Leo’s status protected the students, then stopped as tears briefly appeared in its eyes.

The four students were punished for speculating about Dean Leo, while the apprentices began learning independently under his guidance. After returning to New Earth to avoid visitors while recovering his strength, Leo agreed to meet with the Academy of Sciences, whose researchers sought knowledge of advanced civilizations.

• Meng Jie, Liu Xinqi, and Shi Xiang found Hu Jianxing in the library reading History of Wizard Civilization, and the four discussed how the dean could control New Earth without being a stigmata wizard.

• Leo told the twelve teachers not to kill the students, and the apprentices began studying independently after seeing Hu Jianxing and other top students at the library.
• Leo gave the apprentices brief advice about finding their own paths and valuing knowledge, then returned to New Earth after a month in the Wizard World to avoid visitors while his strength recovered.
• Tang Fei told Leo that the Academy of Sciences wanted to learn about advanced civilizations, and Leo ordered her to arrange a video conference.

Leo taught New Earth's leading scientists about microscopic science and elemental energy, then learned that their artificial intelligence research was far below what he needed. He revealed that he wanted an AI with a true life and body, while Yaoyao secretly concealed something from him.

• Leo met New Earth's scientists by video conference, though they could see only static because his force field overwhelmed their equipment.
• Leo chose microscopic science as their starting point and spent a month explaining higher-level knowledge until the scientists had to stop to recover and study it.
• Leo asked the computer engineers about their progress, and they estimated that human-level AI might take another hundred to two hundred years to develop.

• The villa's alarms exposed the group, and machine guns and rockets opened fire as they fought their way through the defenses.
• Nearby residents livestreamed the battle as the four wizards withstood gunfire and destroyed the bunkers and buildings within minutes.

After a battle exposed wizard powers to the public, Leo arrived and punished those responsible for kidnapping Meng Jie’s sister, while also ordering Meng Jie and his friends to return to the academy for judgment. He sent Meng Jie’s sister with them, declaring that her talent meant she was destined to become a wizard.

• The battle’s recordings spread widely, while people approaching the villa complex collapsed under the pressure of Leo’s aura.

Leo ordered the public disclosure of wizards and the execution of the Bai Clan for kidnapping Meng Mengmeng, while sparing Hu Jianxing and the other students with fines. The government revealed wizards and opened annual academy selection to the public, and Leo ended online demands for equal access by offering admission to anyone who mastered the apprentices’ textbooks in one day.

• Leo ordered Tang Fei to reveal wizards publicly, execute the Bai Clan before the apprentices, and fine Hu Jianxing and the others after frightening them.
• Yaoyao warned Leo that a surge of Wizard Apprentices would strain resources, so Leo agreed to have Charlotte develop the territory and use apprentices to clear beasts and serve as city lords.

• After the public accepted the news and online users demanded access to wizard education, Leo posted apprentice textbooks and offered academy admission to anyone who mastered them within a day.

Leo dreamed of a golden pool that nearly assimilated him, but after Yaoyao rescued him, his body had recovered to 40%. He left New Earth for a year to investigate the pool on the Knowledge Trading Platform, leaving Yaoyao in charge of the academy as it prepared to address a typhoon crisis.

• Thirty years passed as witchcraft spread across New Earth, while 123 apprentices advanced to Official Wizards in the Wizard World.

• Tang Fei reported that twenty-three massive typhoons were approaching land, and Leo ordered a hundred level-two Gulu Beasts and students to respond and learn.
• Leo left through a spatial passage to research the golden pool for about a year, entrusting the academy to Yaoyao.

Leo learned that the golden pool was New Earth's Land of Rules, whose world energy could heal him and make him a World Lord, but he chose to pursue the energy without binding himself to the planet. He returned to the wizard academy and reunited with the Tree of Life, whose growth had made the floating island part of its roots.

• Leo paid ten thousand energy crystals and materials to learn that the golden pool was world energy in New Earth's Land of Rules, and that assimilating it would make him a World Lord.
• Leo concluded that New Earth's World Consciousness had chosen him because his wizard rules and apprentices could help the planet evolve, and that his absorption of its energy had caused the unprecedented typhoons.
• Leo decided he would take the planetary energy to heal himself but would not become a World Lord, since he intended to advance as a Stigmata Wizard instead.
• Leo returned to the wizard academy and told only Charlotte that he was back.
• Leo visited the Tree of Life, which had grown over a thousand meters tall and rooted itself through the floating island, and calmed it when its excited shaking threatened to damage the island.

After seventy years, the Tree of Life had fused with the Godslaying Staff and was absorbing the World Tree branch’s energy as Leo recovered from his injuries. Back on New Earth, Leo learned that planetary origin energy could heal him and strengthen his Vengeance Giant form, raising the possibility of reaching the level-three limit.

• Leo checked the Tree of Life’s progress and learned that its absorption of the World Tree branch had accelerated, bringing his new staff closer to completion.
• Charlotte reported that high-level Stigmata Wizards had offered Leo expeditions, exchanges, and other jobs, but he declined them because his injuries had not healed.

• Leo considered using the energy to push his Vengeance Giant form toward its limit.

Leo discovered that New Earth retained energy released by dead wizard apprentices and planned to use wizard apprentices and Gulu Beasts to control disasters. He entered the Land of Rules again, where the world consciousness offered to heal him, while Yaoyao prepared to act on the golden energy spreading across Leo’s statue in the Shadow World.

• Yaoyao proposed sending wizard apprentices and Gulu Beasts to New Earth to help manage natural disasters, and told Leo that he could sense energy lingering in the planet’s air.
• Yaoyao admitted that over four hundred wizard apprentices had died during a typhoon, and Leo warned him not to cause such losses again.
• Leo went to sleep and entered the Land of Rules with some awareness, then spoke with New Earth’s timid world consciousness.
• The world consciousness promised to heal Leo if he became its world lord, and Leo entered the golden pool before its power overwhelmed his awareness.
• Yaoyao appeared in the Shadow World and summoned hungry shadows toward the golden energy spreading across Leo’s statue.

After recovering 90% of his body, Leo organized a response to disasters he had secretly caused and expanded wizard recruitment to build a force for New Earth. Thirteen years later, a hundred thousand Intermediate Wizard Apprentices and a hundred Official Wizards returned, and the overcrowded academy sent its wizards home.

• Leo awoke from assimilation with his body restored to 90%, then restrained his aura when Tang Fei entered and reported earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, and typhoons.
• Leo ordered 1,200 Gulu Beasts and academy personnel to respond to the disasters, then approved Yaoyao’s plan to gather a hundred thousand Wizard Apprentices within fifteen years.

• Meng Jie invited Hu Jianxing, Shi Xiang, and Liu Xinqi to visit his home, but objected when Shi Xiang showed eagerness to see Meng Mengmeng.

Leo and Yaoyao angered the World Will by draining a third of its golden pool, triggering devastating disasters across the planet. As wizards battled the catastrophes, Meng Jie and his friends discovered a level three body-refining great wizard facing the lightning storm over the academy.

• Meng Jie and his three friends returned to his hometown and spent a peaceful stretch with his family.
• Leo entered the golden pool to undergo assimilation, but Yaoyao appeared and devoured much of its golden water.

• Wizard apprentices and Gulu Beasts fought the disasters, while Meng Jie and his friends helped stop a flash flood.
• Meng Jie and his friends flew toward the academy and found a massive lightning storm barring their way.
• An eighty-meter giant in white bone armor shattered the lightning, and Meng Jie recognized him as a level three body-refining great wizard.

Leo transformed into an eighty-meter Vengeance Giant and battled the enormous thunderclouds, swallowing their lightning and enduring their attacks. He detonated four nuclear explosions inside the clouds, leaving them greatly diminished as he taunted them to submit.

• Liu Xinqi and Hu Jianxing recognized the eighty-meter giant as their dean, Leo, and watched the battle from a distance.
• Leo drew the thunderclouds' lightning into his axe and swallowed the gathered bolts, then mocked the clouds for being weak.
• Leo charged into the clouds as they compressed into a mountain-sized sphere, trapping him amid thunder and lightning.
• Leo detonated a nuclear explosion inside the cloud sphere, then set off three more blasts that tore it apart and reduced its size.
• Leo taunted the weakened clouds and asked whether they submitted.

Leo defeated the World Will’s storm attack and returned to the academy, where Yaoyao revealed that stealing the planet’s origin energy had transformed Shadow Space. The space had expanded to 10,000 meters on each side and gained ordinary soil, leaving Leo demanding that Yaoyao explain the change.

• The Vengeance Giant reshaped the storm into a tornado, shredded it with axe qi, then froze and shattered the remaining clouds with an elemental spell.
• Hu Jianxing, Shi Xiang, and the other two youngsters watched Leo’s power and wondered how a Level Three Body-Refining Great Wizard could cast such a vast spell.
• With the World Will’s energy depleted, Leo dismissed his giant form and used Shadow Walking to return to the academy palace.
• Leo confronted Yaoyao for hiding his ability to enter the Land of Rules and for taking some of New Earth’s origin energy.
• Yaoyao showed Leo that Shadow Space had expanded from 600 meters to 10,000 meters in every dimension, with a stretch of land holding the stored supplies.
• Yaoyao explained that Shadow Space had craved the origin energy, but Leo asked him to explain the space’s transformation.

Leo learned that the Shadow Space could grow into a world, but concluded that its evolution would require resources from other worlds rather than draining New Earth. As disaster relief continued, he received a report of mounting casualties and privately expected the deaths to rise further.

• Yaoyao explained that the Shadow Space was a world seed that could grow through planetary core material and world origin energy, and Leo asked to be told before similar actions in the future.
• Yaoyao left to help with disaster relief while Leo considered how to obtain world origin energy without harming New Earth.
• Leo concealed his growing power as Tang Fei reported 11,458 disasters in three days, more than 32,000 wizard apprentices dead, nearly 11,000 missing, and two official wizards killed.
• Leo told Tang Fei to arrange commendations and compensation for the dead, and to prioritize admission for talented relatives.
• After Tang Fei left, Leo privately anticipated a higher death toll as the apprentices ran out of mana during the ongoing disasters.

After the World Consciousness tormented Leo with relentless misfortunes for three months, he decided to leave New Earth and returned to the Wizard World with Yaoyao and some Gulu Beasts. He told Charlotte he would not leave the Wizard World again.

• After Yaoyao returned from disaster relief, Leo told him the World Consciousness had targeted him with repeated accidents and attacks for three months.
• When misfortunes continued even after Leo moved rooms, he decided to leave New Earth and ordered Tang Fei to recruit vice deans to help with the ongoing disasters.
• Five days after Tang Fei issued the notice, Leo opened a spatial passage and returned to the Wizard World with Yaoyao and some Gulu Beasts.
• Leo told Charlotte he was back and would not leave the Wizard World again.
