Chapter Summaries

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.
• The World Will expelled Leo and Yaoyao, then unleashed a fury that caused disasters around the world.
• 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.

Leo returned to the academy, discovered its depleted finances and excess of low-level apprentices, and proposed sending them to develop new territory. Charlotte then presented a separate problem arising from Black Skull’s rebellion, leaving Leo to review its consequences.

• Charlotte welcomed Leo back and hurried away to fetch the academy’s records, while Yaoyao made an excuse to visit the Gulu Beasts and vanished.
• Charlotte showed Leo the academy’s accounts and warned that it had 125,864 low-level apprentices and could only continue operating on loans for six months.
• After reading the academy’s documents for three days, Leo ordered the Gulu Beasts to clear territory for apprentice-led cities and proposed a fifty-year tax exemption alongside higher academy prices.
• Leo and Charlotte recognized that the territorial settlement plan would reduce the academy’s burden at the cost of many apprentices’ lives.
• Charlotte gave Leo a document about the sealed territory from Black Skull’s rebellion, and Leo recognized the matter from his past battle against the rebel forces.

Leo agreed to send surviving apprentices back from New Earth to help the Gulu Beasts harvest the rich resources of the former Black Skull territory, while growing suspicious of Charlotte's interest in the area. After the apprentices returned, Leo received a communication from the Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard.

• Charlotte explained that the unclaimed former Black Skull territory held abundant resources but was too dangerous for apprentices or Gulu Beasts to harvest alone.
• Leo agreed to Charlotte's proposal to bring surviving apprentices back from New Earth to guide the Gulu Beasts, and Yaoyao questioned Charlotte's motives.
• Leo asked about the damaged Godslaying Wizard Robe, and Yaoyao said it would be repaired alongside the Godslaying Staff in about a dozen years.
• Charlotte returned from New Earth with thirty thousand intermediate-or-higher Wizard Apprentices and all the Official Wizards, after roughly seventy percent of those sent there had died.
• Leo watched Charlotte lead the apprentices and Gulu Beasts into the former Black Skull territory, then received a communication from the Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard.

Leo agreed to guard the Falling Stars Stigmata Great Wizard’s son on an expedition, then persuaded the Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard to cooperate in extracting valuable resources from Black Skull’s former territory. The Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard accepted a sixty-forty profit split and promised to send people to Leo’s academy within five days.

• The Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard contacted Leo and learned that Leo had mostly recovered from his injuries.
• The Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard offered Leo a paid bodyguard job for the Falling Stars Stigmata Great Wizard’s son, but Leo agreed to do it without payment.
• Leo reminded the Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard that he had promised to help if Leo faced difficulties and described the valuable resources in Black Skull’s former territory.
• Leo proposed that their academies share extraction work and split the profits, then offered the Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard sixty percent.
• The Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard accepted the deal, received Leo’s academy coordinates, and said his people would arrive within three to five days.

Leo arranged for Undying Body Academy to join his academy in developing Wizard Black Skull’s former territory, and two thousand Body Refinement Wizards arrived to begin the cooperation. The chapter ends with the academies celebrating together while Shi Xiang starts questioning Long Kaqi over drinks.

• Leo told Yaoyao that he had invited Undying Body Academy to help extract resources and repay the Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard’s kindness.
• Charlotte prepared to welcome the visitors after Leo informed him that Undying Body Academy’s wizards were coming to the academy.
• Hansiba led two thousand Body Refinement Wizards through a spatial portal, and Tao Mia hurried ahead to meet her teacher Leo.
• Charlotte escorted the visitors to the floating island, where Leo welcomed them and Hansiba affirmed that they would carry out the mission.
• Shi Xiang offered Long Kaqi liquor and encouraged him to drink while seeking to draw information from him.

Long Kaqi told Shi Xiang, Hu Jianxing, Liu Xinqi, and Meng Jie about Leo’s legendary achievements, including his elemental body-tempering cultivation and his victory over the Purple Flame Stigmata Wizard. The four students were left awestruck by their headmaster, and Hu Jianxing resolved to become someone like him.

• Shi Xiang gave Long Kaqi five more barrels of liquor and asked why the other wizards had treated Leo with such solemn respect.
• Long Kaqi revealed that Leo was a Level Three Elemental Body Tempering Great Wizard, not merely a Level Three body-refining great wizard.
• Long Kaqi explained that Leo had killed the former academy’s Level Four Purple Flame Stigmata Wizard.
• Long Kaqi told the four that Leo had earned four Wizard Medals, including a First-Class medal and a Special-Class medal for killing the Purple Flame Stigmata Wizard.
• Long Kaqi said others regarded Leo as the strongest person beneath stigmata wizards, leaving the four students stunned and inspiring Hu Jianxing to aspire to become like him.

Leo waited as the Tree of Life grew and the Godslaying Staff underwent its transformation, while the two academies’ resource-extraction mission proceeded. The Tree of Life suddenly surged with energy and grew ten meters in a breath, signaling that the staff’s transformation was beginning ahead of schedule.

• Charlotte offered Leo Wizard Academy’s Official Wizards double pay and library access to join the extraction mission, but Hu Jianxing, Shi Xiang, and Liu Xinqi declined while Meng Jie went to protect his sister, Meng Mengmeng.
• The joint expedition departed with two thousand Official Wizards from the Undying Body Wizard Academy, thirteen from Leo Wizard Academy, thirty thousand apprentices, and five hundred thousand Gulu Beasts.
• Tao Mia stayed behind to see Leo, and he gave her notes on Elemental Body Refinement Wizardry before she left to study.
• Leo waited on the floating island as the academies extracted resources, with most of Leo Wizard Academy’s share going toward repaying Green Cottage.
• The Tree of Life’s heart beat with immense force, drawing up energy that made the tree glow and grow from fifteen hundred to 1,510 meters.
• Leo sensed the Tree of Life preparing for its transformation and declared that it was done.

The Tree of Life completed its transformation after absorbing the World Tree branch’s remaining energy, and Leo forged it into a new Godslaying Staff. The staff’s power astonished Leo, while Yaoyao went to finish repairing the Godslaying Wizard Robe.

• The Tree of Life absorbed the last energy of the World Tree branch and began transforming, drawing in energy as lightning formed around it.
• Leo sacrificed his blood to inscribe runes across the Tree of Life while Yaoyao left for Shadow Space to repair the Godslaying Wizard Robe.
• Lightning and fire destroyed most of the Tree of Life’s branches and leaves, but Leo sensed its energy growing stronger as it shed impurities.
• Leo transformed into his eighty-meter Vengeance Giant form, frightening the wizards outside the academy until the Tree of Life disappeared and he returned to human form.
• Leo held the Tree of Life in its shrunken sapling form, now fused with the Godslaying Staff, and sensed the immense power of his new staff.

Leo tested the New Godslaying Staff’s powerful abilities, used it to restore Benji’s corpse as a puppet, and learned that its growth would be extremely slow without a major energy source. Yaoyao then brought him a transformed, shadow-like Godslaying Wizard Robe.

• Leo examined the New Godslaying Staff’s eight abilities, including its greater elemental and shadow enhancements, puppet control, and limited growth.
• Leo used the staff to repair Benji’s corpse and raise him as a puppet who could follow and fight beside him but could not speak.
• Leo tested the staff’s energy absorption and concluded that its evolution would be negligible without another World Tree branch.
• Yaoyao arrived with Leo’s Godslaying Wizard Robe, which had become a dark, shadow-like object unlike its former appearance.

Leo examined the newly enhanced Godslaying Wizard Robe and discovered its defensive, teleportation, shadow, and resource-gathering abilities. With the robe and staff working together, his Shadow Talent grew powerful enough to support a seventh domain, and he left the academy on an expedition.

• Leo inspected the transformed Godslaying Wizard Robe and learned that it concealed him, strengthened his abilities, enabled Shadow World jumps, and could anchor three locations.
• Yaoyao explained the robe’s three thousand small shadows, which gathered objects into Leo’s Shadow Space, and its additional enhancement when used with the Godslaying Staff.
• Leo told Yaoyao that the Godslaying Staff could control puppets, and Yaoyao played with Benji, who had returned as a puppet.
• Leo combined the robe and staff’s enhancements, increasing his Shadow Talent’s number, area, range, and damage absorption, and declared that he could form a seventh great domain.
• A spatial portal opened at the academy, and the wizards gathered to see Master Leo off on his expedition.

Leo joined Mahad’s expedition aboard a starship mothership, where he met the powerful young wizard and the thousand-plus wizards hired to protect him. He recognized Troy, the wizard who had defeated Alice in a tournament, but chose not to confront him.

• Leo left Charlotte in charge of the academy and refused the Body Refinement Wizards’ request to join his expedition.
• Leo arrived aboard the starship mothership and met Mahad, the son of the Falling Stars Stigmata Great Wizard, along with the wizards hired to guard him.
• The assembled wizards saw Leo’s medals and greeted him with respect, while Leo surveyed the powerful guard force.
• Yaoyao pointed out Troy, and Leo asked the bewildered wizard his name before leaving for his room.
• Yaoyao asked Leo why he had not beaten Troy, and Leo remembered that Troy had defeated Alice in a previous tournament.

Leo reviewed the expedition’s mission to Ant God World, declined a command role, and joined the mothership’s journey while observing a star’s energy. After his first attempt to sense the stellar storm burned away part of his mental power, he recorded his findings and cautiously began studying the star again.

• Leo studied Ant God World’s barren landscape and concluded that the expedition could locate ant colonies by their patches of vegetation and capture their queens.
• Leo declined central command’s offer to participate in command and requested access to the information exchange platform and hidden missions.
• The mothership began its journey toward Ant God World, and Leo stayed awake to observe the stellar energy powering its jumps.
• Leo extended his mental power toward a nearby star, but the stellar storm burned away 5% of his mental power and made his body dangerously hot.
• After a month of recovery, Leo cautiously sensed the star again and observed the energy enveloping the mothership.

Leo spent sixteen years studying stellar energy and refining his spatial witchcraft aboard the mothership before it reached the Ant God World. The wizard forces breached the world barrier and began fighting the immense ant army, but the ants remained so numerous that the expedition had no place to land.

• Leo cautiously studied stellar energy at each star, recording its properties to prepare for advancement to the Stigmata Level.
• During the mothership’s spatial jumps, Leo used void runes to reduce the pressure on his body.
• After sixteen years, the mothership arrived above the Ant God World, and Yaoyao found Leo awake among hundreds of filled notebooks.
• Leo observed the mothership break through the world barrier and watched the Ant God World’s enormous army of ants gather below.
• The mothership released its slave army, which clashed with the ants, and deployed thirty thousand warships to attack them.
• Despite the slave army and warships killing countless ants, the ant horde still covered the world, leaving the wizards without a place to land.

Leo joined the expedition into the Ant God World, where the wizard invasion advanced while Mahad led his forces against the ant army. As the fighting continued, Leo studied the ants and Yaoyao secretly gathered battlefield spoils for Shadow Space.

• The mothership's main cannon blasted a corridor through the ant army and exposed the world's dense underground tunnels.
• Leo and Yaoyao considered sending the puppet Benji to investigate whether the tunnels reached the plane's center.
• Leo told Mahad to make his own plans while he focused on sensing the clash between the Wizard Will and the Ant God World's World Will.
• Mahad led his bodyguards and vast slave army to fight ants along the battlefield's edge while Leo and the other wizards watched.
• Leo dissected a level-one ant and recorded its anatomy, while Yaoyao's hidden shadows collected ant remains and valuable materials.
• Over more than a month of fighting, Leo grew acquainted with the Level Three Great Wizards, while the Level Two Wizards remained too intimidated to relax around him.

After the Ant God World’s World Lord enraged the ant armies, a hidden colony attacked Mahad’s forces, and Lokas went underground to capture its queen. Leo stayed to protect Mahad while Benji fought the ants and Leo began turning their male ants into puppets.

• The World Lord of the Ant God World appeared and enraged every ant, driving them into a desperate attack on the wizard forces.
• Mahad tightened his defenses when wizards sensed ants moving underground, but a vast colony erupted beneath his battlefield and targeted his army.
• Leo identified the colony’s ant queen, and Lokas asked permission to capture her; Leo agreed while remaining with Mahad.
• Lokas sank underground toward the queen as Leo sent Benji to fight the ants attacking them.
• Leo killed a level-two male ant with one slap, turned it into a puppet with the Godslaying Staff, and used it to help Benji kill and convert another ant.

Lokas reported that the Ant God World’s queens possessed rank-three combat strength, while Leo continued fighting with controlled ants and investigated his mutated mental power. He discovered that it could slowly evolve his bloodline, then resolved to return through space aboard the starry sky mothership to accelerate the process.

• Lokas returned from underground and told Leo that the queen he faced had standard rank-three strength, though Leo’s controlled male ants held their ground on the battlefield.
• Leo tested his mutated mental power on his body and discovered that stimulating his bloodline caused slight warmth and tingling, along with a tiny increase in its development.
• Leo handed command of his ants to Yaoyao and repeatedly stimulated his bloodline, eventually measuring a 0.1% increase over the 758 days of fighting.
• Leo reasoned that returning aboard the starry sky mothership would expose his mental power to stellar energy and speed up his bloodline’s evolution, and decided the sixteen-year journey was worthwhile.
• Mahad accepted a mission to clear ant swarms along a fixed route, while Leo continued resting and carefully stimulating his bloodline once a day.
