Chapter Summaries

Leo avoided the gathering of wizards, expecting the beast tide to draw out the pureblood dragon and give him an opportunity. As the wizards amplified Star Gravity, the dragon emerged and clashed with him.

• After five months of refining beasts, Leo moved his puppet army to a new hunting ground because the nearby beasts had been exhausted.
• Troy told Leo that the beast tide would arrive in ten days, but Leo refused to return, suspecting the Stigmata Wizards planned to use him against the pureblood dragon.
• Leo ordered Troy to search for Mahad in the northwest, claiming he could sense him there, though he admitted to himself that the claim was a lie to keep Troy away during the attack.
• When the beast tide began, Leo hid in Shadow Space and watched the wizards quickly defeat the beasts and assemble amplification arrays for Star Gravity.
• A pureblood dragon roared from the central mountain, charged toward Star Gravity, and clashed with him.

Leo entered Deathwing’s unguarded lair and began moving its treasures into Shadow Space, but Little Bookworm warned him the dragon was returning and revealed the door to the second world could not open without more energy. Leo’s escape attempt failed, and Deathwing appeared at the cave entrance.

• Leo reached Deathwing’s mountain lair while the dragon was away and sent his shadow blobs to collect the bones and dragon-infused stones.
• Leo brought Benji and his male ant puppets into the lair to haul its treasure into Shadow Space.
• Leo touched the black door and spoke with Little Bookworm, who refused to explain his nature and said Deathwing had sensed him through the door.
• Little Bookworm revealed that the second world required additional energy to open, and Leo could not force the door open.
• Leo ran for the cave entrance, but Deathwing returned and spotted both his missing treasure and Leo.

Leo escaped the level-five black dragon Fanyaxis after stealing much of his hoard, then returned to the jungle laboratory badly injured. Little Bookworm kept Fanyaxis from leaving his lair, and Leo began recovering while wondering why the dragon could not pursue him.

• Fanyaxis attacked Leo in his cave and swallowed him, but Leo escaped by teleporting away.
• Fanyaxis tried to pursue Leo, but Little Bookworm stopped him and reminded him that the stolen treasure was not his.
• Leo returned to the jungle laboratory, healed himself, and sensed that Fanyaxis remained near his lair before eventually retreating inside.
• Leo discovered his ribs and internal organs were severely damaged and estimated that he would need three months to recover.
• Leo counted the stolen dragonkin bones, dragon-breath-infused stones and sand, and treasure worth over five hundred thousand energy crystals, then prioritized healing.

Leo survived Fanyaxis’s attack and waited anxiously for Wizard World reinforcements while recovering and refining dragon materials. The reinforcements negotiated the wizards’ evacuation, but Leo discovered they had returned directly to the Wizard World, ruining his plan to travel near a star.

• Leo told Troy that Fanyaxis had killed 1.5 million slaves and over a hundred thousand wizards before returning to his lair, and that both Stigmata Wizards had been badly wounded.
• Leo recovered, refined dragon materials into five liters of dragon bloodline, and spent a year fearing Fanyaxis would attack again.
• Wizard reinforcements arrived and negotiated with Little Bookworm, then opened a spatial passage for the trapped wizards and their slave armies to leave.
• Leo entered the passage and found himself at the Tower of Elements in the Wizard World rather than the Ant God World, realizing his plan to visit a star was ruined.

Leo returned to the Wizard World, reconnected with Mahad, and questioned the Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard about the Hundred-Page World and reports of Guardian Wizards near Black Skull’s former territory. After inspecting the academy and hearing Charlotte’s account of its growth, Leo suspected Charlotte was deliberately hiding information.

• Yaoyao returned from the Shadow World, took three of Leo’s shadows, and claimed he had beaten Little Bookworm before rejoining Leo at the academy.
• Leo collected thirty years of wizard medal subsidies, bought advanced knowledge, and used the Godslaying Wizard Robe to return instantly to his floating island.
• Mahad told Leo that he had avoided the teleportation in the Ant God World and that the Wizard World’s search party had found no trace of Leo’s group.
• The Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard implied that knowledge of the Hundred-Page World was reserved for Supreme Lords and asked Leo to investigate reports of Guardian Wizards near Black Skull’s former territory.
• Charlotte reported the academy’s growth and accepted Leo’s collected materials for the academy’s accounts, while Leo noticed that Charlotte had concealed information and grew suspicious of him.

Leo used dragon bloodline to unlock the body-refinement potential of New Earth's human apprentices, then offered the World Will dragon blood and aura towers to make amends for his past actions. The World Will forgave him but permanently denied him the chance to become World Lord, and Leo secured the freedom to enter and leave New Earth without being targeted.

• Leo tested dragon bloodline on blood samples from New Earth apprentices and found that it activated their bloodline power, allowing them to advance as Body Refinement Wizards.
• Leo visited the New Earth Wizard Academy, thanked Niu Lele for his work, and asked him to arrange an inspection with the nuclear engineering department.
• When the World Will did not respond, Leo struck the clear sky with lightning to alert it to his return.
• Leo offered the World Will five liters of dragon bloodline and ten thousand dragon aura towers in exchange for forgiveness.
• The World Will accepted Leo's offer but permanently took away his chance to become World Lord.
• Leo planned for the dragon bloodline and aura to spread gradually across New Earth, raising the world's potential while allowing him to come and go freely.

Leo tested nuclear fusion on New Earth to see whether it could mutate his mental power, then oversaw the creation of portable runic fusion reactors for the Wizard World. After returning with twenty units, he learned that Yaoyao had found many unpredictable spatial rifts appearing in a forest.

• Leo entered a fusion reactor chamber and endured its spatial tremors while observing the reaction, then ordered Official Wizards and Wizard Apprentices to develop a runic reactor.
• Leo used nuclear fusion to temper his mental power, and Niu Lele later brought him the completed runic reactor for inspection.
• Leo requested several modifications before approving the design and ordering twenty reactors built.
• Leo returned to the Wizard World with the reactors, where Yaoyao showed him footage of irregular spatial rifts appearing and disappearing in a forest.

Leo investigated the abnormal spatial rifts in the former territory of the Black Skull Stigmata Great Wizard, then began a secluded experiment to accelerate his advancement. After a century, the academies were still harvesting the territory’s resources, where Meng Mengmeng showed her brother a discovery.

• Leo learned that Guardian Wizards were focused on the spatial rifts and told Yaoyao to keep development going while warning their people to stay clear of the rifts.
• Leo activated twenty magically modified nuclear fusion reactors and used their energy to temper his mental power while studying fusion.
• Leo secluded himself, cut off contact with everyone except Yaoyao, and worked to complete his bloodline development and strengthen his paths.
• Over a century, the academies continued harvesting the fertile former territory of the Black Skull Stigmata Great Wizard with large teams of wizards and apprentices.
• Meng Mengmeng, now a Level One Elemental Wizard, called to her brother Meng Jie and showed him something she had found.

Meng Jie and Meng Mengmeng discovered a huge patch of Necromantic Blue Butterflies and Necromantic Blue Flowers, but a spatial rift swallowed the harvesters and thousands of Gulu Beasts. After awakening from 120 years of seclusion, Leo arrived to find the missing wizards trapped in another habitable world with no way back through the one-way rift.

• Meng Jie and Meng Mengmeng found more than three thousand pairs of Necromantic Blue Butterflies and Necromantic Blue Flowers, prompting them to summon reinforcements and begin harvesting.
• Teachers from both academies arrived, and the wizards cleared the area before carefully digging up the valuable organisms.
• A vast spatial rift appeared during the harvest and swallowed two hundred Leo Wizard Academy wizards, a hundred Undying Body Academy wizards, and twenty thousand Gulu Beasts.
• Yaoyao woke Leo from his 120-year seclusion and told him that the rift had taken the wizards.
• Leo teleported to the site and saw that the rift led to a habitable world, where the trapped wizards could see the opening but could not pass back through it.

Leo confronted two wizard factions that arrived to claim a newly discovered micro world through a spatial rift, and asserted his authority as its first discoverer. When Peiluoqi challenged the extent of Leo’s claim, Leo proposed settling the dispute through combat.

• Leo tried to communicate with Meng Jie and learned that the stranded wizards had not yet faced any native creatures in the likely micro world.
• Three groups arrived through teleportation arrays: guardian wizards, Roderick’s force, and Charlotte with Peiluoqi and his wizards.
• Leo stopped the guardian wizards from widening the stable spatial rift and challenged Roderick and Peiluoqi over their intentions to claim the world.
• Leo invoked the academy contract to establish his decision-making authority, and Charlotte confirmed that the contract supported him.
• Peiluoqi argued that Leo’s authority only entitled him to some profits, so Leo proposed that the winner of a fight decide the claim.

Leo confronted Roderick, Charlotte, and Peiluoqi over control of a newly discovered miniature world, but their standoff was interrupted by a flood of powerful wizard teams. As dozens of factions gathered at the spatial rift, a newcomer challenged Leo’s claim to the world.

• Roderick refused Leo’s challenge, and Charlotte stopped Peiluoqi from fighting while insisting their groups would not leave.
• Leo prepared to attack the two groups, but long-distance teleportation arrays brought in thirty-five more wizard teams.
• Leo saw that the newcomers included nearly four hundred Level Three Great Wizards and represented thirty-seven Stigmata Wizards in total.
• Yaoyao broke the silence by asking why the newcomers had brought so many people to the world.
• A newly arrived Level Three Elemental Great Wizard told Leo that the unclaimed spatial rift did not belong entirely to any one wizard, even a Legendary Great Wizard.

Leo and the gathered wizards competed over a newly discovered world until two top-tier Guardian Wizards arrived and stabilized the spatial rift. After the stranded academy wizards returned safely, the assembled groups moved to claim the passage.

• Leo realized the Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard had likely sold information about the world to multiple parties, drawing thirty-seven groups of wizards to the rift.
• Roderick suggested a joint expedition, but the gathered wizards remained deadlocked over who would claim the world.
• Garijivich, the Mountain Range Guardian, and a powerful female Guardian Wizard arrived and ordered everyone away from the rift.
• Garijivich and the female Guardian Wizard used the Wizard Will to expand and stabilize the rift into a wide spatial passage.
• Meng Jie led the stranded wizards back through the passage, and Leo sent the academy group away after promising them rewards.
• After the rescued wizards left, nearly every group stepped forward to claim the stabilized passage.

The Mountain Range Guardian Garijivich and River Guardian Bolivina intervened as wizards gathered at a spatial passage to claim a miniature world. After the God of Jackals fled, Leo clashed verbally with the other wizards over ownership of the world, and Garijivich stopped the confrontation before it became a fight.

• The God of Jackals appeared before the spatial passage, and Leo felt an instinctive craving to eat him.
• Bolivina introduced herself as the River Guardian and ordered the wizards to wait, while Garijivich threatened the God of Jackals and drove him away.
• Garijivich introduced himself as the Mountain Range Guardian and reprimanded the wizards for preparing to fight in the Wizard World.
• Leo claimed the world had been discovered by his academy first, but the other wizards accused him of exploiting it and trying to seize it.
• Leo and Yaoyao prepared to fight the wizards as they continued to taunt him.
• Garijivich silenced the wizards and said he would find someone to deal with their dispute.

The Mountain Range Guardian sent Leo and the other wizards to the Death Arena to settle ownership of a miniature world. The Sword of Nirvana Stigmata Wizard announced that Level Three Great Wizards from the Wizard World and powerhouses from across the universe would compete for it in a year.

• The Mountain Range Guardian opened a rift and barred the wizards from returning to the disputed world until its ownership was settled.
• Leo entered a second rift, and the other wizards followed him into a vast demiplane.
• Roderick recognized the Death Arena and explained that its duels ended with every loser dead.
• A fat black-and-white Tom Clan cat led the wizards into the arena, where the Sword of Nirvana Stigmata Wizard appeared on the Supreme Lord's behalf.
• The Sword of Nirvana Stigmata Wizard announced that the miniature world's sovereignty would go to the victor of a competition open to Level Three Great Wizards across the Wizard World and universe.

Leo spent a year preparing for a tournament where Level Three powerhouses from across the universe would compete for sovereignty over a miniature world. As thousands of contestants gathered in the Death Arena, he entered the arena and surveyed the formidable opponents he would face.

• The Sword of Nirvana Stigmata Wizard told Leo and the others they would remain in the Death Arena for a year before the arena decided the outcome, then disappeared.
• Leo resolved to use the year to strengthen himself, while Yaoyao encouraged him to win the world back.
• Leo reviewed his spells after exhausting his Bloodline Power and elemental abilities, and realized the God of Jackals was the key to his final step toward becoming a Stigmata Wizard.
• Powerful Stigmata Wizards and World Lords filled the arena stands, including Kampas, the God of Giants, and the Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard.
• The Sword of Nirvana Stigmata Wizard announced that the tournament’s victor would gain sovereignty over a miniature world, then summoned the contestants into the arena.
• Leo spotted Roderick and Peiluoqi among the contestants and assessed the growing crowd of Level Three wizards and beings from other races.

Over forty thousand level-three competitors entered a miniature world for a battle royale, with the Wizard Will set to teleport out anyone seriously injured. Leo hid using his robe and Shadow Walking while a cunning golden two-headed dragon hunted other competitors, and Kampas wagered that the dragon would beat Leo for first place.

• A pureblood golden two-headed dragon arrived among the competitors, and Leo studied him and the other powerful rivals.
• Sword of Nirvana announced that the one-on-one death matches would be replaced by a battle royale, with the Wizard Will rescuing seriously injured competitors.
• The competitors were transported into a miniature world, where Leo concealed himself and moved into the shadows as others hid.
• The golden dragon ambushed concealed opponents and scored the competition’s first elimination.
• The Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard wagered a million energy crystals that Leo would win first place, while Kampas, the God of Giants, bet on the dragon.

Leo struggled to find opponents in the tournament until new rules forced contestants to fight, then defeated a small-world genius who ambushed him with an Earth Lung Worm. After eliminating its master, Leo took the wounded creature’s lower half into Shadow Space.

• Kampas and Undying Body agreed to a wager about the tournament’s winner, with neither losing if neither contestant took first place.
• Sword of Nirvana Stigmata Wizard announced that the tournament area would shrink by half every ten days and contestants had to eliminate someone every ten days or be disqualified.
• Leo revealed part of his aura to attract an opponent, and an Earth Lung Worm erupted from underground and swallowed him.
• Leo tore his way out of the Earth Lung Worm, struck it hard enough to crack its head armor, and eliminated its master with Flash Thunderbolt.
• Yaoyao urged Leo not to waste the still-living Earth Lung Worm, so Leo cut off its lower half and stored it in Shadow Space.

Leo confirmed that contestants’ pets and summons were not teleported away when killed, revealing that they could provide clues to other worlds. He then defeated Longliqi with overwhelming ease, leaving the tournament’s search for opponents—and their world origins—ongoing.

• Leo killed the earth lungworm and confirmed that its corpse remained in the arena, while Yaoyao realized its otherworldly aura might reveal its home world.
• Leo sensed Longliqi hiding in a tree and confronted the level three Great Wizard, who chose to fight rather than surrender.
• Longliqi made the first move, causing plants across the area to mutate and attack Leo before hiding among them.
• Leo unleashed Thunderstorm, destroying the plants and exposing Longliqi, then struck through his protective barrier with guided lightning.
• Leo’s lightning overwhelmed Longliqi, who was eliminated after only a few seconds of bombardment.

Leo searched for opponents in the Level Three Gladiatorial Competition, using Yaoyao’s shadows to locate and defeat a powerful Dragon-Winged Giant wizard. As the competition area began shrinking, Leo recognized the change as the power of a world rule and grew eager to reach that level himself.

• Leo tried to lure opponents out by flying openly and releasing his aura, but the contestants hid from him, so he returned to find a wizard he had spotted and discovered the man had left.
• Yaoyao released three thousand shadows from the Godslaying Wizard Robe to search for hidden contestants, and they found a Level Three Body Refinement Wizard on the fifth day.
• The Dragon-Winged Giant wizard activated his bloodline and fought Leo, who defeated and eliminated him with repeated electric attacks before taking his greatsword.
• A vast darkness advanced across the competition world, and Leo realized that anyone caught in it after five days would be eliminated as the competition area shrank.
• Leo recalled how the Sword of Nirvana Stigmata Wizard had changed the world’s rules and became intensely eager to attain the power of rules.

Leo realized the competition world's rules had changed to match the Sword of Nirvana Stigmata Wizard's rules, then hurried toward the new competition area. He eliminated Camille with a single punch and faced Yarisha, who prepared to fight him at full strength.

• Leo understood that the competition world's rules had changed after the Sword of Nirvana Stigmata Wizard announced them, and he hurried toward the new competition area as contestants emerged from hiding.
• Leo detected a battle between Yarisha, a level three body-refining wizard, and the elf Camille, then appeared and suggested they attack him together.
• Camille shot an energy-laden arrow at Leo while Yarisha charged, but Leo caught the arrow and avoided their combined attack.
• Leo appeared behind Camille and punched her, shattering half her body and causing her elimination; he also took the arm holding her verdant bow.
• Yarisha activated his enhancements and readied himself to fight Leo after seeing the power of his punch.
