After receiving the blessings of a thousand gods and command over all barbarians, newborn Batu Lu reassured his father and ordered the Bear Hunting Tribe to protect the tent. Batu Lu then revealed to himself that he was Leo’s avatar, sent into the Barbarian World to find the other Little Bookworm, whose fragment had fused with his soul.

• The barbarians treated Batu Lu’s tent as sacred, and Batu Lu ordered them to guard the tribe and keep order as pilgrims arrived.

• Leo concluded that the Barbarian World was at least a large world, possibly a World Cluster, and suspected the fragment’s influence had caused the gods to name Batu Lu their fated leader.

Baturu’s supernatural authority drew more than a hundred level-three barbarians to the Bear Hunting Tribe, where they swore loyalty and accepted his orders. He began organizing protection and gathering knowledge about the Barbarian World, while his new followers competed to send him teachers and maidservants.

• More than a hundred level-three barbarians arrived at the Bear Hunting Tribe and swore blood oaths of loyalty to Baturu.

• Other level-three barbarians argued that their own granddaughters were better candidates, and the young chief realized they were trying to arrange future marriages for his newborn son.

Baturu learned about the Barbarian World while the tribes gathered around him and built up the Bear Hunting Tribe. Ten years later, he understood the world’s failed attempts to create a Supreme Lord and suspected the Book of Revelation was a universe-level treasure like Little Bookworm.

• Heroy kept late-arriving level-three barbarians far from Baturu’s tent, while Baturu studied the barbarians’ writing and the tribe built him a lavish palace.
• Baturu ordered the barbarians to stop making pilgrimages, develop their own tribes, and prepare to meet him when he came of age.

• Baturu admitted he wanted to obtain Little Bookworm No. 001 and said Little Bookworm No. 007 had promised him the right to use it in exchange for helping.

Baturu learned that Little Bookworm No. 001 needed an outsider to advance to Supreme Lord so the Barbarian World could survive and become a World Cluster, and he accepted the offer in exchange for its vast resources. After receiving Supreme Lord advancement knowledge, Baturu shared the arrangement with Leo and Black Soluo.

• Little Bookworm No. 001 explained that his guidance had made the barbarians too powerful for the Barbarian World to sustain, and that his bond with the world's origin prevented him from leaving.
• Little Bookworm No. 001 said only an outsider could advance to Supreme Lord, then offered Baturu control of the Barbarian World, its three trillion barbarians, a thousand high-level barbarians, and 107 surrounding worlds.
• Baturu accepted the deal, and Little Bookworm No. 001 sent him instructions for contacting the Little Bookworms and information about advancing to Supreme Lord.
• Baturu entered his sea of consciousness and told Leo and Black Soluo about the offer and the Barbarian World's resources.
• Leo and Black Soluo examined Little Bookworm No. 001's detailed Supreme Lord advancement information.

Leo and Black Soluo agreed that Baturu must raise the Barbarian World into a World Cluster if he was to advance to Supreme Lord, and they planned expeditions to make that possible. Leo then contacted Little Bookworm No. 007, learned that the Fate Wizard Book was Little Bookworm No. 002, and suspected it had revealed his secrets.

• Leo decided Baturu would develop in the Barbarian World, with Leo and Black Soluo supporting him as he pursued advancement to Supreme Lord.

• Leo contacted Little Bookworm No. 007 and demanded to know who Little Bookworm No. 002 was.
• Little Bookworm No. 007 revealed that the Fate Wizard Book was his second brother, and Leo asked whether it had told him all of Leo's secrets.

Leo learned that Little Bookworm No. 002 monitored Fate Wizard Book copies, then agreed to help Little Bookworm No. 007 find their missing brothers. In Barbarian World, Baturu advanced to level one and began preparing the barbarians for a world war by ordering them to study.

• Little Bookworm No. 007 admitted that his second brother, Little Bookworm No. 002, monitored Wizard World through the Fate Wizard Book copies, and confessed he had bluffed about knowing Yaoyao's secret.

• Little Bookworm No. 007 warned Leo not to stop Little Bookworm No. 002's surveillance because the Wizard Will was watching him, then agreed to provide another piece of himself so Leo could search for their remaining brothers.

• Baturu summoned over a hundred thousand barbarians, announced that they must prepare for a world war, and ordered them to memorize the contents of hundreds of crystal balls within a year.

Baturu struggled to educate the barbarians for the Supreme Lord plan, so Leo proposed strengthening them and equipping them with intelligent command systems instead. While the Wizard World’s major schools continued their restrained battles, Leo began reprogramming a metallized soul to create an artificial intelligence system for the barbarians.

• Baturu complained that the barbarians learned academic subjects too slowly, and Leo advised him to focus on training their strength.
• Black Soluo suggested absorbing the barbarians’ souls, but Leo insisted they were valuable assets and Baturu agreed to use Body Refinement Wizard training methods.
• Leo watched a Stigmata Elemental Wizard defeat a Stigmata Body Refinement Wizard before another Body Refinement Wizard arrived and restarted the battle.
• Leo returned to seclusion and planned an intelligent command system that would guide the barbarians while limiting its energy use and storing its knowledge in metallized souls.
• Leo drew a fine thread from a blank metallized soul and began inscribing runes on it, prompting Yaoyao to recognize that he was reprogramming the soul.

After Leo’s attempt to create programmed metallized souls failed, he received war rewards and requested the Returning Breath World’s complete knowledge inheritance. He discovered that Alice’s soul essence was inside the world’s Will, but retrieving it might require destroying the Will and turning the entire Wizard World against him.

• Leo’s ten-year experiment to program metallized souls failed and blasted apart his wizard tower.
• The Fate Wizard Book announced the war’s end and awarded Leo forty million war merits, ten medium-sized worlds, territory in the Returning Breath World, and one request of a Supreme Lord.

• After two months of study, Leo found that the Returning Breath World Will had absorbed Alice’s soul essence along with the essence of other Lords of Souls’ victims.
• Yaoyao warned Leo to consider the consequences, while Leo resolved to resurrect Alice even if he had to destroy the Returning Breath World Will and make an enemy of the Wizard World.

Leo returned to his Stigmata Wizard demiplane and arranged the academy’s expansion across the worlds he had won, while learning that Meng Jie had died and Shi Xiang had become vice dean. He also reviewed the Wizard World’s surrender agreement with the Lords of Souls, which placed them under strict control and stationed one beside Leo’s territory.

After Beast Blood Boiling invited Leo to his advancement reception, Leo monitored his connected worlds and rewarded Tortai for tracking Atiya’s rise. The chapter ended with Leo angrily confronting Purple-Gold Vine over the Tower of Elements Supreme Lord’s demand for information about Black Skull, then revealing that his fury had been a bluff.

• Beast Blood Boiling told Leo that he had advanced to level six by mastering the Metal Module and invited him to a reception with neutral Stigmata Wizards.
• Leo collected blood through a newly connected shadow, intending to pass the world’s coordinates to his clone Baturu, then checked on Atiya in Snowfield World.

• Purple-Gold Vine told Leo that the Tower of Elements Supreme Lord wanted him questioned about Black Skull’s whereabouts.
• Leo denied hiding Black Skull, suggested the traitor might have escaped, and threatened to escalate the matter; after Purple-Gold Vine ended the call, Leo calmly dismissed the questioning as a test.

Leo attended Beast Blood Boiling’s level-six reception, where he rejected repeated efforts to recruit him into a new alliance and watched nearly every other guest join the Mutual Aid Society.

• Leo arrived at Beast Blood Boiling’s demiplane and observed the Water Elves escorting him, while considering their inherited water affinity and possible genetic experiments.
• Beast Blood Boiling welcomed Leo and introduced him to the gathered Stigmata Wizards, including Undying Body, Falling Stars, and Interstellar Wanderer.
• Undying Body tried to recruit Leo to cooperate against the two major schools or join the Body Refinement Wizard School, but Leo firmly refused.

• Beast Blood Boiling asked Leo for his opinion of the Mutual Aid Society, while Leo continued feeding Yaoyao and gave no answer.

Leo refused Beast Blood Boiling's Mutual Aid Society and challenged him to a fight, so the two met in space with Beast Blood Boiling limiting himself to level five. Their giant forms clashed, and as Leo's Vajra Giant pressed forward, Beast Blood Boiling answered with Great Space Severing Witchcraft.

• Beast Blood Boiling asked Leo to join his Mutual Aid Society, but Leo refused despite the wizard's overwhelming aura.

• Beast Blood Boiling cast Great Space Severing Witchcraft, filling the space before Leo with countless spatial rifts as Leo charged into them.

Leo’s Vajra Giant battled the Space Giant, using his extraordinary defense and Atomic Control to withstand and wound his opponent. The two then unleashed their strongest witchcraft in a carefully controlled duel that reached a stalemate, leaving the watching Stigmata Wizards shaken by the fighters’ power.

• The Vajra Giant broke through the Space Giant’s spatial attacks and forced him to use Space Confinement Great Witchcraft, then tore free and pressed the attack.
• The Space Giant redirected the Vajra Giant’s lightning whip and sliced away part of his finger with spatial witchcraft, but burned the transferred flesh to ash to prevent it being used against Leo.
• Leo used Tritium-Deuterium Fusion Great Witchcraft to trigger more than a hundred internal explosions in the Space Giant, whose level-six body healed the wounds.
• The Space Giant and Leo agreed to continue, having demonstrated their strongest attacks so they could judge what each could withstand without fighting to the death.
• The giants unleashed their witchcraft in a high-speed clash that tore apart and restored space, but neither gained the advantage.
• The watching Level-Five Stigmata Wizards realized that attacks exceeding four million points could kill them instantly and marveled at the power of Elemental Body Tempering Stigmata Wizards.

Leo used spatial witchcraft to defeat Beast Blood Boiling in a duel, forcing him to rely on the Metal Module, a cosmic-grade treasure. After returning to the reception, Leo asked Beast Blood Boiling to sell him tens of thousands of Water Elves, then left for his demiplane with Yaoyao.

Atiya’s Snow Elf army was overwhelmed by the demon forces, but Black Soluo’s skull-like smoke annihilated the attackers and protected him. Black Soluo began emerging from the black vortex, while the chapter explained Leo’s plan to use Atiya’s shadow to send Black Soluo through the Shadow Plane into Snowfield World unnoticed.

• Atiya watched the demons break through the Snow Elf defenses and charge toward him while the Gulu Beasts remained pinned down.
• A wisp of black smoke from the vortex swept through the demon army, killing thousands of demons and then forming a protective barrier around Atiya.

• The chapter explained that Black Soluo and Leo could not openly launch expeditions because powerful factions monitored them.
• Leo used Atiya’s shadow as an anchor to open a black vortex to Snowfield World, planning for Black Soluo to pass through the Shadow Plane and descend unnoticed.

Black Soluo used the universe-grade Endless Pot to absorb the souls of the demon army invading the Snowfield World, then led Atiya and the snow elves through the spatial passage into the Black Domain World.

• Baturu enforced brutal magic-array and molten-metal training, insisting that barbarians complete every exercise to draw out their bloodline strength.
• After the first level-three barbarian passed the full regimen, Baturu sent successful trainees across the world to spread his cultivation methods.
• Leo and Yaoyao observed the training ground, and Leo realized Baturu was secretly using Leo’s resources to cover its enormous costs and risking the Barbarian World’s future.
• Leo asked Baturu when he would reach level four so the expedition could begin under his leadership.
• Baturu absorbed the energy above the training ground and advanced from level two to level three before the watching barbarians.

Baturu advanced to level three and learned that the Barbarian World was close to collapse, forcing him to reach level four within three years and invade other worlds. Leo supplied billions of replicated Intelligent Souls, and Baturu tested one before preparing to put them to use.

• Baturu advanced from level two to level three in minutes, shocking the barbarians, and said he expected to reach level four within five or six years.

• Leo reflected that the Snowfield World and Black Domain World were already under his rule, with their leaders enslaved and their resources collected every ten years.

Leo and Black Soluo watched over Baturu as he began his advancement to level four in the Barbarian World. The world’s energy and its inhabitants poured their strength into him, and his breakthrough proceeded under the protection of the Barbarian World Will.

• Leo watched Baturu’s advancement from the Shadow Plane while Black Soluo joined him to guard against trouble.

• Baturu began advancing atop an altar before an army of five hundred million barbarians and a thousand Barbarian Gods.
• The altar, barbarians, and the Barbarian World drew vast quantities of energy toward Baturu, submerging him in liquefied energy as his advancement began.
