Leo used the Wizard World's redeployment of World Lords to prepare attacks on its undefended worlds, while waiting for an opening against the five Supreme Lords. He sent Baturu to promote new World Lords for the expeditionary army and anticipated that the Wizard World might recruit other civilizations to pursue him.

• Half a month after Baturu's death, he returned to life, restoring Leo's soul and peak level-six strength.
• Leo told Baturu that the Wizard World had moved World Lords away from several watched worlds, as their plan intended.
• Leo said the expeditionary army would reach Wizard territory in twenty years and ordered Baturu to promote promising fighters into World Lords.
• Leo planned to use the new World Lords to absorb the origin power of worlds targeted by the expeditionary army, then leave them in the Wizard World's territory to cause unrest.
• Baturu departed to carry out the plan, while Leo remained hidden in the Shadow Plane and hoped the Wizard World would bring in more civilizations to fight him.

Undying Body and Beast Blood Boiling remained under close surveillance while discussing the Wizard World’s disastrous war against Leo. The loss of contact with two hundred strategically placed Wizard Alliance worlds triggered an emergency meeting of the Supreme Lords, who faced the threat of Leo establishing a foothold near the Wizard World.

• Undying Body recognized that Leo’s scheme had tied down the strength of at least two Supreme Lords by casting suspicion on him and Beast Blood Boiling.
• Beast Blood Boiling learned that the Wizard World had lost over a hundred Stigmata Wizards and more than six hundred World Lords in twenty years of fighting across 130 worlds, while securing no more than 30% of the battlefields.
• Five Stigmata Wizards monitoring the demiplane abruptly vanished, and Undying Body used the Fate Wizard Book to discover that two hundred Wizard Alliance worlds had lost contact simultaneously.
• The Supreme Lords gathered in Bloodline Controller’s demiplane, where they learned the missing worlds occupied strategic positions that could let Leo launch attacks into the surrounding regions.

The Wizard Alliance mobilized reinforcements after two hundred worlds lost contact, while its Supreme Lords suspected Atomic Control had sent an avatar into their territory. Their counterattack revealed a ruined world and confirmed the avatar’s presence, leaving the other group of reinforcements wary as they approached an intact world under attack.

• Bloodline Controller and Elemental Controller arranged for four Supreme Lords to reinforce the affected worlds and ordered Undying Body and Beast Blood Boiling’s surveillance lifted.
• Barrier of Strength and Scepter Wizard reached the remains of the Great Swamp World, where Scepter Wizard’s time-reversal spell revealed a barbarian avatar before the vision shattered.

• Undying Body and Blood Demon Venerable withdrew their auras and proceeded cautiously after learning that Baturu was in the area.
• Blood Demon Venerable detected twenty World Lords and a vast invading army fighting inside an intact world.

Undying Body and Crimson Blood Venerable discovered that newly advanced World Lords were attacking more alliance worlds and suspected Atomic Control was using world-origin power to create them. The Wizard World changed its strategy and ordered the teams to prioritize finding Baturu, who might be responsible.

• Undying Body and Crimson Blood Venerable killed the twenty invading World Lords and reopened the spatial passage so wizard armies could reclaim the world.
• The four Supreme Lords learned that twenty-five more worlds had lost contact after attacks by small groups of newly advanced World Lords arriving through interworld teleportation arrays.
• Undying Body suspected Atomic Control could forcibly advance World Lords by draining world-origin power, explaining the enemy's expanding forces.
• Crimson Blood Venerable agreed that the possibility threatened the Wizard World, and the Supreme Lords began discussing the conjecture and preparing for the worst.
• The Wizard World changed the teams' assignments, ordering them to prioritize finding Baturu and to stay safe while investigating how to stop the creation of more World Lords.

Baturu’s campaign plunged thousands of worlds into chaos as the Wizard World struggled to contain newly created World Lords and search for him. Baturu evaded the Supreme Lords through the Shadow Plane and prepared to continue the turmoil.

• The Supreme Lords searched for Baturu for fifty years but failed to locate him, while their attempts to capture controlled World Lords ended in the captives self-destructing.
• The Wizard World lost contact with over a thousand worlds, and newly advanced World Lords infiltrated over a thousand more as both sides suffered mounting casualties.
• Crimson Blood Venerable reported that front-line World Lords feared their home worlds would be lost, but the Supreme Lords refused to let them leave their posts.
• Baturu drained another world’s Power of World Origin, sent some to Xiao Wu to strengthen the Shadow Plane, and used the rest to create more World Lords.
• Leo warned Baturu that a Supreme Lord was approaching, and Baturu escaped through the Shadow Plane to another star region.

Beast Blood Boiling fortified the Tiger Roar Great World as the Wizard World struggled to contain Atomic Control’s invasion. Ten years later, Sword Bearer and twenty-nine other World Lords emerged, and Beast Blood Boiling faced them alone.

• Worlds under wizard civilization raised their defenses as invasion rumors spread and the Wizard World prioritized protecting important worlds.
• Beast Blood Boiling arrived at the Tiger Roar Great World, deployed junior wizards to establish detection arrays, and prepared to defend it.
• Beast Blood Boiling learned from Undying Body that thousands of worlds had been invaded or suspected of invasion and that the Wizard World’s countermeasures could not stop the attacks.
• After ten years, a black vortex appeared, and Beast Blood Boiling prepared to attack the World Lord emerging from it.
• Beast Blood Boiling recognized the newcomer as Sword Bearer and let him bring the others through the vortex.
• Thirty World Lords emerged, including two Level-Six and ten Level-Five beings, while Mierhan sensed danger from the calm Beast Blood Boiling.

Beast Blood Boiling confronted Sword Bearer and the invading World Lords, but Leo intervened before Beast Blood Boiling could kill them. Leo and Beast Blood Boiling argued over the war and their broken friendship, and the chapter ended as Bloodline Controller arrived at Tiger Roar Great World.

• Sword Bearer warned the World Lords not to attack Beast Blood Boiling and told him that Leo was too busy to meet.
• Beast Blood Boiling attacked Sword Bearer and the other World Lords as they tried to leave, but Leo's energy projection stopped the metal swords and ordered them away.
• Beast Blood Boiling accused Leo of betraying him and Undying Body, while Leo apologized and tried to recruit them to his side.
• Beast Blood Boiling challenged Leo about his real objective in the war, but Leo claimed he was only fighting to survive and began to leave.
• Beast Blood Boiling destroyed Leo's energy projection, and Bloodline Controller emerged from the spatial teleportation array at Tiger Roar Great World.

The Wizard World, short of troops and unable to find Leo’s true body, forcibly requisitioned forces from the Myriad Beasts World, but Leo matched its reinforcements and kept the war at a stalemate. After decades of waiting on quieter fronts, the Wizard World’s leaders grew wary because Leo’s invasion had stopped and his troops had begun withdrawing from thousands of captured worlds.

• The Bloodline Controller arrived too late to catch Leo’s energy projection, then left after learning it had been only an avatar.
• Facing a severe troop shortage, the Wizard World ordered worlds to abandon territory and forced the Myriad Beasts World to supply its World Lords and troops.
• The Myriad Beasts World submitted, sending thousands of World Lords to the battlefield while keeping its seven Supreme Lords at home.
• Leo matched the Wizard World’s reinforcements, trapping both sides in an exhausting war and prompting Leo to open dozens of additional battlefield worlds.
• For fifty years, troops in many worlds waited for invasions, while the Wizard World’s Supreme Lords noticed that Leo had halted his attacks and withdrawn forces from more than four thousand worlds.

While the Wizard World struggled to contain the war across fifteen hundred worlds, Baturu assembled more than ten thousand World Lords and launched a massive invasion. After over a thousand worlds fell and the Wizard World could not spare troops to retake them, the Supreme Lords called on the Purgatory Demons to join the battlefield.

• The Wizard World kept its attention on finding Baturu as worlds continued to shatter and signs showed that Atomic Control was amassing more World Lords.
• Baturu gathered the forces he had built by draining 358 worlds, bringing his invasion force to more than ten thousand World Lords.
• Baturu opened spatial rifts to worlds whose locations Leo had fixed, and the invading World Lords attacked, using self-detonation to break world barriers and overcome defenders.
• The Wizard World received invasion reports from more than a thousand worlds, then lost contact with them after their spatial passages were closed.
• The Bloodline Controller and the other Supreme Lords recognized they could not spare troops to respond, and decided to bring the Purgatory Demons to the battlefield.

The Purgatory Demon World agreed to send troops to the Wizard World’s war, while Samael hoped the fighting would help his civilization grow and let him face the traitor wizard. Suspecting a hidden motive behind the demons’ arrival, Leo ordered his forces to kill them and ensure that no more than ten percent returned.

• Samael told the twelve other Supreme Lords that the demons would send four thousand lords and seven Supreme Lords to the battlefield, warning them to study the Wizard World and kill the traitor wizard on sight.
• After the other demons left, Samael reflected that the war could either strengthen his civilization or destroy it, and he wanted to test whether Leo’s copy of his red broken blade matched the original.
• Leo reviewed two hundred years of battlefield reports and told Baturu that the Wizard World’s decision to admit the demons seemed suspicious.
• Leo ordered his forces to prioritize killing demons, including through self-detonation, and to allow no more than ten percent of their troops to return.
• Baturu laughed that lifting the self-detonation restrictions would keep Xiao San and Xiao Si busy resurrecting fallen World Lords.

Atomic Control’s forces used repeated World Lord self-detonations to annihilate demon reinforcements across the battlefront. After learning that most of their troops had died, the demon Supreme Lords accepted War Worlds from the Bloodline Controller and withdrew to investigate.

• Atomic Control ordered his forces to keep absorbing world origin and planned to overwhelm the three World Cluster civilizations with growing numbers of World Lords.
• At Tiger Roar Great World, Yanhuo’s demon reinforcements were struck by World Lords who self-detonated, killing Yanhuo and nearly all his troops.
• The same tactic devastated demon forces across the war, leaving thousands of Demon Lords dead and survivors unwilling to enter the battlefields.
• The Bloodline Controller told Samael and six other demon Supreme Lords that 3,251 of their 4,000 Demon Lords had died, and provided battlefield intelligence.
• Samael denied that the demons had any prior dealings with Atomic Control, then requested War Worlds to investigate the attacks.
• The Bloodline Controller let the demons choose from more than three thousand War Worlds, and Samael selected seven before teleporting away with the remaining Demon Lords.

After losing over three thousand Demon Lords, Samael sent seven Supreme Lords to investigate the battlefields, where Long E confirmed that Leo’s World Lords fought the demons with relentless self-detonations. Leo learned that the demon race had occupied seven worlds and inflicted heavy losses, leaving the war escalating.

• Bloodline Controller dismissed speculation about Leo’s hostility and proposed compensating the demons with cosmic treasures and knowledge in exchange for more troops.
• Samael led six other demon Supreme Lords away from Bloodline Controller’s demiplane and assigned each of them a world to investigate.
• Long E led a hundred Demon Lords into the Tiger Roar Great World as the Wizard World withdrew from the battlefield.
• Leo’s World Lords rushed the demons and self-detonated, but Long E shielded the Demon Lords and destroyed the remaining World Lords.
• Long E failed to capture any World Lords because they self-detonated as soon as he tried to take them alive.
• Leo learned from resurrected World Lords that the demons had occupied seven worlds and killed over six hundred World Lords and nearly a billion low-level troops.

Leo sent Baturu and Black Soluo to exploit the demons’ scattered Supreme Lords, and they began killing them with surprise attacks. The Purgatory Demon race lost four Supreme Lords in moments as the two returned to the Shadow Plane to hunt again.

• Leo asked Baturu to teach the invading demons a lesson, and Baturu brought Black Soluo into the attack.
• Baturu ambushed Long E outside the Tiger Roar Great World, using the Sword of Winter, the Light of Imprisonment, and the Endless Pot to kill him.
• Baturu killed the demon lords inside the Tiger Roar Great World and then returned to the Shadow Plane.
• Black Soluo returned carrying half of another Supreme Lord’s corpse, and he and Baturu left together to hunt more demons.
• Leo examined and sealed the corpses as Black Soluo and Baturu returned with two more Supreme Lord bodies, bringing the Purgatory Demon race’s losses to four Supreme Lords.

Leo chose to leave Samael alive so the Purgatory Demons would retain strength to defend themselves and the Wizard World would remain occupied by the threat of the red broken saber. After learning six of their Supreme Lords had died, the wizards argued over who should wield the saber, while Samael withdrew from the war and prepared to return home.

• Black Soluo and Baturu tied in their third contest, and Leo sent them back to their duties rather than risk a prolonged fight against Samael.
• Leo explained to Baturu that keeping Samael alive would distract the wizards and leave the Purgatory Demon World better able to protect itself.
• Bloodline Controller reconvened the Supreme Lords after they learned six Purgatory Demon Supreme Lords had died, and the wizards argued over who should claim the red broken saber.
• Cosmic Wanderer persuaded the wizards to postpone deciding the saber's ownership until after the war and place it in the World Land of Origin if they obtained it.
• Samael learned of his losses and refused to send more troops, telling the wizards he would return to the Purgatory Demon World.
• Bloodline Controller offered compensation for the Purgatory Demons' losses, but Samael declined and prepared to leave.

The Wizard World trapped the Purgatory Demon Supreme Lords and took the broken red saber, leaving the Purgatory Demon World effectively under its control. After Leo realized the Wizard World was using his forces to weaken its enemies while preserving its Stigmata Wizards, he ordered a faster offensive that devastated the battlefield and forced the Wizard World to retreat.

• The Bloodline Controller summoned the Purgatory Demon Supreme Lords to the Wizard World and pressured Samael into handing over the broken red saber.
• Leo told Baturu that three Purgatory Demon Supreme Lords were held as hostages while the others returned to gather more armies.
• Leo concluded that the Wizard World had used his forces to weaken the Myriad Beasts World and the Purgatory Demon World while keeping most Stigmata Wizards in reserve.
• Leo and Baturu ordered World Lords to attack without restraint, and self-detonating World Lords rapidly increased across the battlefield.
• Leo seized worlds as the Wizard World retreated and began drawing even more World Lords and Demon Lords from its allied civilizations.

The Wizard World crushed the Myriad Beasts World’s resistance and forced the Purgatory Demon World to surrender its remaining troops and resources. With both civilizations drained, Leo chose to follow his original plan, accelerate the war, and lead an army toward the Wizard World to gauge the Guardian Wizards’ strength.

• The Myriad Beasts World declared war on the Wizard World and stopped supplying troops, so the Wizard World sent the Cosmic Wanderer and other Supreme Lords to punish it.
• Ten Supreme Lords invaded the Myriad Beasts World, killed four Supreme Lords, seized the black mountain, and forced the survivors to surrender their remaining military forces.
• The Purgatory Demon World submitted its last Demon Lords and resources, but the Wizard World refused to release its three imprisoned Supreme Lords.
• Baturu suggested resurrecting Hanubi and the other Myriad Beasts World Supreme Lords, but Leo rejected the idea and chose to resurrect their own World Lords instead.
• Leo decided to follow the original war plan, hasten the fighting, and send an army toward the Wizard World within thirty years to learn the Guardian Wizards’ true strength.

Leo launched the final invasion of the Wizard World, using secret teleportation arrays and the Hundred-Page World to send nearly thirty thousand World Lords and their armies into battle. The Wizard World’s sixteen Supreme Lords gathered outside its barrier and confronted Black Soluo and Baturu, demanding that Leo appear.

• Leo delayed the assault until the World Lords had resurrected, then ordered the forces to attack the Wizard World without using the Shadow Plane.
• For over two hundred years, Leo had controlled low-level wizards and used them to establish teleportation arrays across the Wizard World.
• Leo gave the command to begin, and troops poured through arrays in more than five thousand War Worlds, spreading across the Wizard World.
• Black Soluo and Baturu broke open the Wizard World’s barrier, and the Hundred-Page World released 28,975 World Lords and more than a trillion troops.
• The Hundred-Page World suppressed the Supreme Lords as all sixteen of the Wizard World’s Supreme Lords appeared and focused on Leo.
• Baturu asked the Bloodline Controller what made the Supreme Lords certain they could defeat them.

Black Soluo and Baturu tried to break out of the Wizard Supreme Lords’ encirclement, but the wizards’ coordinated attacks trapped them despite their many universe-grade treasures. After Sword of Winter wounded Black Soluo with an ambush, the pair abandoned their escape attempt and turned to fighting back.

• Black Soluo and Baturu rejected the Bloodline Controller’s demand to bring out their main body and charged toward the Undying Body to escape.
• The pair used six universe-grade treasures to suppress the sixteen Supreme Lords, but the Cosmic Wanderer blocked their route with a black mountain and the wizards attacked from all sides.
• Black Soluo and Baturu used a second black mountain, shields, and their weapons to withstand the barrage, but their nine treasures could not break the encirclement.
• Sword of Winter struck Black Soluo with a surprise attack, leaving a massive wound as the wizards’ coordinated spells stopped the pair from advancing.
• The Bloodline Controller attacked, and Black Soluo and Baturu abandoned their hope of escape and pursued Sword of Winter to try to kill one of their enemies.

Black Soluo detonated beside the Wizard World, but figures of the Wizard Will blocked the blast and the Sword of Winter survived. The Bloodline Controller revealed Alice's soul to Baturu and threatened to destroy it unless Leo appeared, leaving Alice's fate in Leo's hands.

• Black Soluo charged the immobilized Sword of Winter and detonated, while the Elemental Controller raised a hand toward the sword.
• The explosion tore through the Wizard World's barrier, but figures radiating the Wizard Will formed a net that stopped the energy storm from reaching the world.
• Baturu survived the blast, gathered Black Soluo's cosmic-grade treasures, and found the unharmed Sword of Winter beside the Elemental Controller.
• The Bloodline Controller showed Baturu a soul and demanded that Atomic Control appear, threatening to crush it if Leo refused.
• Baturu realized the war had lured their forces into the Wizard World, and the Bloodline Controller revealed that the soul belonged to Alice, whom he had resurrected.

Leo appeared before the Supreme Lords and asked Bloodline Controller to name terms for returning Alice’s soul. After learning that the Wizard World could assimilate powerful beings, Leo offered his forces and artifacts in exchange for Alice, but the Supreme Lords were not tempted because they intended to capture him.

• Bloodline Controller used Alice’s soul to pressure Baturu, and Leo emerged from a spatial rift, gravely injured but composed.
• Leo asked Bloodline Controller to return Alice’s soul, and Bloodline Controller offered to forgive Leo if he returned to the Wizard World.
• Leo questioned the sudden force that had blocked Black Soluo’s self-detonation and identified five former Supreme Lords of the Returning Breath World among them.
• Bloodline Controller admitted that the Wizard World had a hidden force, and Elemental Controller defended its assimilation of powerful beings as a form of submission and eternal life.
• Leo offered nearly thirty thousand World Lords, several thousand worlds, the Eye of Destruction, and the Endless Pot in exchange for Alice’s soul, but the Supreme Lords remained intent on capturing him.

Leo surrendered to Bloodline Controller in exchange for Alice's soul, relinquishing his universe-grade treasures and ordering the fighting to stop. After arranging for Beast Blood Boiling and Undying Body to protect his friends, Leo began recovery before the Supreme Lords restrained him and knocked him unconscious.

• Bloodline Controller threatened Alice's soul to force Leo to submit to the Wizard World, and Leo asked to see Beast Blood Boiling.
• Leo apologized to Beast Blood Boiling and Undying Body, severed his ties to the Endless Pot and Eye of Destruction, and gave one treasure to each of them.
• Leo agreed to enter the Land of Origin after Bloodline Controller swore to return Alice's soul, and he ordered the World Lords to stop fighting.
• Leo urged Baturu to stay with Undying Body, then went with Bloodline Controller to recover before entering the Land of Origin.
• After the Supreme Lords healed Leo partway, they switched to restraining spells and knocked him unconscious.

The Wizard World sealed Leo and took him inside after he surrendered to save Alice’s soul, leaving Baturu and the other Supreme Lords to reckon with the outcome. The war’s aftermath left the Wizard World vastly strengthened while the Myriad Beasts World and Purgatory Demon World were devastated and unable to recover.

• The Sword of Winter took the completely sealed Leo from Baturu and carried him into the Wizard World with the other Supreme Lords.
• Baturu suspected Leo might have planned his capture but concluded that he had surrendered because he could not abandon Alice’s soul.
• Beast Blood Boiling promised to advance to Supreme Lord and protect Baturu, while Baturu asked him to secure the Endless Pot’s ownership.
• Undying Body followed the Bloodline Controller into the Wizard World to witness whether Alice’s soul would be returned, and he forgave Atomic Control.
• The Wizard World absorbed Atomic Control’s forces, gaining tens of thousands of World Lords and several trillion trained troops, while the Myriad Beasts World and Purgatory Demon World lost nearly all their populations and resources.
• Other civilizations learned that Atomic Control’s army used Intelligent Souls for coordinated command and envied the Wizard World’s many spoils, including worlds, motherships, treasures, and powerful abilities.

After the war, the Wizard World reclaimed worlds and announced Baturu as its twenty-sixth Supreme Lord, but it made no further moves while it slowly assimilated Leo, Atomic Control’s remaining self. Beast Blood Boiling advanced to Supreme Lord and recorded his legacy, then left the Land of Origin after seeing Atomic Control’s Wizard Will grow stronger.

• The Wizard World reopened after fifty years, resettled Atomic Control’s former army across vacant worlds, and occupied the subordinate worlds of the Myriad Beasts World and the Purgatory Demon World.
• The Wizard World named Baturu its twenty-sixth Supreme Lord but withheld further secrets and took no major action while it worked to assimilate Leo and gain full control of Atomic Control’s forces.
• Bloodline Controller and the others learned that complete assimilation would take several hundred more years, while Baturu refused to surrender Atomic Control’s secrets before their agreement was fulfilled.
• Beast Blood Boiling entered the Land of Origin with the Endless Pot after Atomic Control’s individual consciousness had been erased, and he saw Wizard Will beginning to replace Atomic Control’s aura.
• Three years later, Beast Blood Boiling advanced to Supreme Lord and spent several years recording his information and the auras of the Endless Pot and Metal Module in the Fate Wizard Book.
• Beast Blood Boiling saw Wizard Will growing denser around Atomic Control and quickly left the Land of Origin.

Baturu asked Beast Blood Boiling and Undying Body to ensure Bloodline Controller returned Alice's soul to Leo after the Wizard Will assimilated Leo. Three hundred years later, the Supreme Lords gathered to witness the return, and Bloodline Controller prepared a sealed meeting to teleport Atomic Control there.

• Beast Blood Boiling told Baturu that Leo's soul and independent identity were gone, while Baturu revealed that the Wizard Will was also encroaching on him.
• Baturu asked Beast Blood Boiling and Undying Body to witness Bloodline Controller returning Alice's soul to Leo if Baturu failed to awaken; they promised to keep watch.
• Three hundred years later, Bloodline Controller announced that the Wizard Will had finished assimilating Atomic Control, and Beast Blood Boiling and Undying Body demanded to witness the promised return.
• Bloodline Controller agreed after the pair offered to withdraw from the division of Leo's secrets, and he said he would teleport Atomic Control to the meeting.
• Bloodline Controller and Elemental Controller sealed their Fate Wizard Books and auras as protective barriers enclosed the demiplane.

Bloodline Controller awakened the wizard will within Leo to question him about Atomic Control’s treasures and the Shadow Plane. The Supreme Lords learned where many powerful artifacts were hidden, leaving Dragon Enslaver intent on claiming the Hundred-Page World.

• Bloodline Controller revealed that Alice’s soul would be assimilated and die within days, enraging Beast Blood Boiling and Undying Body.
• Bloodline Controller used his blood to awaken the wizard will controlling Leo, then asked it about Atomic Control’s universe-grade treasures.
• Leo listed treasures that could advance life-forms and world wills, resurrect souls and bodies, and preserve the Dragon World’s dragons and information.
• Leo revealed the locations of the treasures, the World Tree, and the black slab, while Dragon Enslaver decided he had to obtain the Hundred-Page World.
• Bloodline Controller asked how the Shadow Plane worked, and Leo explained that a trace left in a visited place allowed instant access by an original body, clone, or soul companion.
