Chapter Summaries

After the war mobilization order threatened to send Leo into the conflict against the Returning Breath World cluster, Beast Blood Boiling offered him an expedition opportunity to delay his conscription. Leo accepted and traveled to the Interstellar Wanderer Stigmata Wizard’s demiplane to take a test for a place on the expedition.

• Leo resented the war order because the elemental and body refinement schools had secured expeditions that would keep their wizards away from the fighting for over a thousand years.
• Beast Blood Boiling told Leo that he was exempt from the war under the Key Wizard Plan and offered him a chance to join an expedition in his place.
• Leo accepted the opportunity to explore a medium-sized world and agreed that Beast Blood Boiling would receive a share of the proceeds.
• The Interstellar Wanderer Stigmata Wizard invited Leo to his demiplane and said Leo would have to pass a test before joining the expedition.
• Leo arrived with Yaoyao and followed an elf guide through a demiplane filled with Starry Sky Enchantment Insects toward the Starry Sky Tower.

Leo passed Interstellar Wanderer’s test by swiftly killing his failed level-four puppet, then agreed to join the invasion of the Marsh World for a twenty-percent share of the proceeds. He asked to keep the corpses of any World Lords he killed.

• Interstellar Wanderer tested Leo by asking him to kill a failed level-four puppet within three hours without damaging the demiplane.
• Leo used five domains to immobilize the puppet and cut it apart with fifty thunderbolt greatswords in under three minutes.
• Impressed by Leo’s strength, Interstellar Wanderer invited him to discuss an expedition to invade the Marsh World, which had two Level-Five and three Level-Four World Lords.
• Interstellar Wanderer offered Leo twenty percent of the proceeds after costs, and Leo accepted.
• Leo requested that the corpses of any World Lords he killed belong to him.

Leo reviewed the academy’s growth, ordered stricter training for wizard apprentices, and set a joint expedition to Marsh World for fifty years later. He arranged for allies’ forces to join the expedition and, at the Tower of Elements, a Level-Four Stigmata Wizard arrived through a vast spatial rift beside an expeditionary mothership.

• Meng Jie reported the academy’s wizard, Gulu Beast, mechanical puppet, financial, and population figures, and Leo ordered the academy to toughen its apprentice training.
• Leo announced a joint expedition with the Interstellar Wanderer Wizard Academy in fifty years, requiring half the academy’s official wizards and at least fifteen million Gulu Beasts.
• Leo arranged for three hundred thousand of Undying Body’s body refinement wizards and two hundred thousand of Beast Blood Boiling’s students to join the expedition and avoid the early stages of the world-cluster war.
• Leo questioned Beast Blood Boiling about the universe-grade metal module and recorded his research insights into its soul-metal transformation problem.
• At the Tower of Elements, a starry sky mothership appeared, and an enormous figure tore open a spatial rift beside it, revealing the arrival of a Level-Four Stigmata Wizard.

Leo tore open a spatial rift and descended into the Wizard World, displaying his power to recruit wizards for an expedition against the Marsh World. After welcoming Commander Luoluojia aboard the mothership, he prepared to support the main force led by the Level-Five Interstellar Wanderer Stigmata Wizard.

• The Earth Giant forced the spatial rift open while wizards aboard the mothership watched Leo's arrival.
• Leo entered the Wizard World under the surveillance of two Level Four Guardian Wizards, then released his aura to demonstrate his strength.
• Leo called on wizards to join his punitive expedition to the Marsh World, and a large army flew toward the mothership.
• Leo returned to human form, boarded the mothership, and asked Commander Luoluojia to handle its command and strategy.
• Luoluojia reassured Leo that Interstellar Wanderer's forces would bear the main pressure while Leo's expedition served as support.

Leo and Interstellar Wanderer brought their armies to the Marsh World, where they faced two World Lords guarding the world barrier. The World Lords accused Interstellar Wanderer of stealing their Water Element Essence, and he openly declared that he had returned to conquer their world.

• Yaoyao asked Leo whether he had figured out how to use the black cube module, and Leo said he had only a preliminary idea.
• Leo and Interstellar Wanderer departed the Wizard World with their armies and spent twenty-five years traveling to the Marsh World.
• The carriers rammed the Marsh World's barrier, and Leo sensed the inhabitants watching them from inside.
• Leo and Yaoyao joined Interstellar Wanderer at the barrier as two Level-Four World Lords appeared and recognized Interstellar Wanderer as a thief who had visited three thousand years earlier.
• Interstellar Wanderer admitted he had taken their Water Element Essence and declared that he would conquer the Marsh World and claim its people and resources.

Interstellar Wanderer attacked Marsh World’s barrier while Leo used the Godslaying Wizard Robe to bypass it and enter the world. Suppressed by Marsh World’s will, Leo confronted the hidden World Lords and used his six domains to expose one of them in the clouds.

• Interstellar Wanderer transformed into his Elemental True Body and pierced Marsh World’s barrier with starlight, injuring two World Lords who vanished into clouds.
• Interstellar Wanderer and Leo realized the World Lords were repairing the barrier and agreed to breach it before reinforcements arrived.
• Leo had Yaoyao cling to him and used the Godslaying Wizard Robe to pass through Shadow World and appear inside Marsh World.
• Marsh World’s will suppressed Leo’s strength, and the two World Lords sent clouds surging toward him.
• Leo activated his six domains, dispersing the clouds and revealing a huge World Lord hidden within them.

Leo used twelve domains and his Earth Giant bloodline to kill Lijialuo, one of the Marsh World's World Lords, while another World Lord fled. As more World Lords approached, Leo joined Interstellar Wanderer in tearing open the world barrier so the mothership could descend.

• Leo revealed the concealed World Lord with Spatial Distortion and suppressed him with twelve domains, weakening his strength by 35%.
• Leo activated his 270-meter Earth Giant form, overcame the World Lord's slowed reactions, and tore Lijialuo's head from his body.
• Leo collected Lijialuo's blood as the surviving World Lord cried out in grief and fled into the clouds to evade Leo's attack.
• Interstellar Wanderer warned Leo that more World Lords were approaching and called for him to attack the world barrier from inside.
• Leo unleashed Nuclear Fusion Grand Witchcraft through the Godslaying Staff, slicing open the barrier as Interstellar Wanderer and the mothership tore through from outside.

Leo killed a second Marsh World Lord by striking his soul with the Soul Splitting Technique, while Interstellar Wanderer’s mothership arrived and shielded them from Marsh World’s will. As the three surviving World Lords faced them, Leo prepared to fight the last Level-Four opponent while Interstellar Wanderer took on the two Level-Five World Lords.

• The World Lord launched an ambush against Leo, but Leo used the Soul Splitting Technique to incapacitate him and seize him as three other World Lords approached.
• Interstellar Wanderer and the mothership arrived, and Leo killed the captured World Lord after confirming that his corpses belonged to him.
• The three surviving World Lords raged and stirred Marsh World’s will against the invaders, but the mothership’s Wizard Will blocked its suppression.

• Interstellar Wanderer told Leo to fight the Level-Four World Lord and said he would talk with the two Level-Five World Lords.

Leo and the Interstellar Wanderer arrived in the Marsh World after driving off its World Lords, then deployed their expeditionary armies against the gathered Water Marsh People. The chapter ended as both motherships opened fire, vaporizing vast stretches of sea and everything beneath it.

• Heritos and two other World Lords fled after Leo killed two of their number, and the Interstellar Wanderer praised Leo and proposed future expeditions together.
• Leo revealed to Yaoyao that using the Soul Splitting Technique against a World Lord had drained his soul, while the Shadow Space began consuming the two World Lords’ corpses.
• Leo ordered Commander Luoluojia to issue a mission offering rewards for clues to the Marsh World’s missing World Lords.
• The two motherships released their slave armies, warships, and wizards as the Water Marsh People gathered in the sea to defend their world.
• Both motherships fired two hundred thousand secondary-cannon beams, vaporizing the sea and its inhabitants beneath their strikes.

Leo’s expeditionary army used its mothership cannons, slave troops, and twenty million wizards to devastate the Water Marsh People and destroy a vast frozen mass of their kin. The command center ordered another Ice Seal operation, while covert toxin experiments continued aboard the mothership and the Interstellar Wanderer pursued the Marsh World’s water element essence.

• The mothership’s two hundred thousand secondary cannons fired for five seconds, killing countless Water Marsh People before the slave army attacked.
• Leo observed the slaves struggling underwater, and twenty million wizards froze the sea into a vast ice mass containing over fifteen million living beings.
• The Water Marsh People tried to break the ice and interrupt the wizards, but the slaves held them back as the wizards formed their next array.
• The wizards detonated the frozen mass, killing the beings trapped inside, and the command center ordered another Ice Seal operation.
• Laboratories aboard the mothership tested toxins on Water Marsh People, while the Interstellar Wanderer focused on obtaining the world’s water element essence.

Facing the wizard invasion, Hetoris hired the Interstellar Company to help the Marsh World, agreeing to pay one hundred drops of Water Element Essence after the invaders were driven away. Meanwhile, the wizard army kept crushing the Water Marsh People’s resistance, and the mothership reported a successful seawater-borne toxin experiment that could weaken them.

• Heliao proposed seeking outside help, and Hetoris decided to contact the Interstellar Company that had previously offered trade.
• Hetoris opened a spatial rift with Water Element Essence and learned the company would charge at least one hundred drops to repel the Wizard World’s forces.
• Heliao objected to the price, but Hetoris accepted payment after victory and arranged for the company’s troops to arrive in four years.
• After the rift closed, Heritos told Heliao that they could control the passage and eliminate the company’s forces if they proved untrustworthy.
• On the battlefield, the wizard army detected and defeated Water Marsh People hiding underwater, overcame their attacks, and captured giant sea beasts for their energy crystals.
• The mothership reported that a toxin experiment using seawater had succeeded, with infected Water Marsh People expected to fear the deep sea and lose 30–45 percent of their water elemental affinity.

The wizard army used a toxin to drive the Water Marsh People from the deep sea and gained control of Marsh World, while Leo’s Shadow Space evolved after absorbing another World Lord. After learning that several wizard squads had vanished, Leo set out to investigate.

• The mothership laboratory deployed a toxin that made the Water Marsh People fear the deep sea, allowing the wizard army to trap them near the surface and drive them from the main battlefield.
• The wizard army advanced across Marsh World, striking Water Marsh People whenever their gatherings grew large, while elite wizards searched unsuccessfully for the three World Lords.
• Ten years after arriving in Marsh World, Leo saw Shadow Space complete its second evolution, expanding to 100 × 100 × 1.5 kilometers and gaining a lake resembling Marsh World's seawater.
• Yaoyao suggested raising creatures in Shadow Space, and Leo considered using it to house rare species or serve as an experimental site.
• Luoluojia told Leo that wizard squads had lost contact and that a Level Three Great Wizard and fifty thousand slave troops sent to investigate had also disappeared.
• Leo received the coordinates, took the Godslaying Staff, and vanished from the mothership to investigate while several thousand wizards and a hundred thousand slaves waited on a small island.

Leo led reinforcements into an ocean trench to rescue Hu Jianxing and the besieged wizards, then destroyed the attacking robots with lightning. Hu Jianxing revealed that the machines were mecha piloted by small-bodied beings, while battle continued farther along the trench.

• After Hu Jianxing and the other wizards disappeared during their mission, Luoluojia reported the emergency to Leo, who brought a wizard force to investigate.
• Leo followed the lingering aura of a Level Three Great Wizard to a deep-sea trench where mental interference concealed what lay inside.
• Leo found Hu Jianxing's squad surrounded by robots and rescued them by destroying the nearby machines with lightning.
• Hu Jianxing explained that a deep-sea beast had lured his group into an ambush, and Leo ordered scouts to warn central command and other wizard squads about the robots.
• Hu Jianxing opened a robot and showed Leo a small-bodied being wired inside it, suggesting the machines were piloted mecha.

Leo discovered that Marsh World's mech forces came from a world controlled by the World Tree, which had also controlled Homo Sapiens World. He warned Interstellar Wanderer that the wizards had to find and seal the connecting spatial rift, then joined the battle as the puppet army attacked the mechs.

• Leo dissected a mech pilot and found a World Tree control fiber in its spine, confirming that Marsh World had contacted a world controlled by the World Tree.
• Leo explained the World Tree's threat to Hu Jianxing and ordered him and the others to collect mechs, while Yaoyao's shadows secretly gathered many more.
• Leo found no change in the World Tree branch in his sea of consciousness, then used the Godslaying Staff to raise the intact slave corpses as puppets and sent them into battle.
• Leo contacted Interstellar Wanderer through the Fate Wizard Book and urged him to locate and seal the spatial rift connecting Marsh World to the technological world.
• Leo joined the battlefield, destroyed the mechs in the trench with lightning, and disappeared beneath the seabed as Yaoyao's shadows collected the spoils.

After command ordered the wizards to locate the spatial rift, Leo realized the mech forces were growing rapidly and used the Godslaying Staff to control a Water Marsh Person. He followed the puppet to its tribe and began investigating Marsh World’s recorded history, finding legends about its Creator God and five gods.

• Command ordered every wizard to search for the spatial rift and report its location, offering a Second-Class Wizard Medal for its discovery.
• Leo assessed reports showing that more mech units were appearing each day and that their numbers were increasing.
• Leo subdued a group of Water Marsh People, turned their surviving level-two member into a puppet, and learned that the God of the Ocean had told them to lie low until the wizard army was driven back.
• Leo ordered the puppet to take him to records of its civilization and followed it for three days to an underwater tribal cave.
• The Water Marsh Person explained the cave’s inscriptions, which described the Creator God, the five great gods, and their legends.

Leo uncovered God's Dwelling at Marsh World's easternmost point and discovered that the World Lords were using it to teleport a Mecha army into Marsh World. He contacted Interstellar Wanderer and summoned reinforcements, but the three World Lords saw that Leo was alone and prepared to attack him.

• Leo found wall records identifying God's Dwelling and the site of the divine manifestation as likely locations of the spatial rift, then told Interstellar Wanderer.
• Leo ordered the wizard army to search Marsh World's myths and records, and their findings placed God's Dwelling in the east, where daylight never faded.
• Leo traveled east and searched the sea with Yaoyao's shadows until he sensed powerful spatial fluctuations near a small island.
• Leo exposed the World Lords' hiding place, contacted Interstellar Wanderer, and called the wizard army for reinforcements.
• The three World Lords emerged from God's Dwelling, revealing a Mecha army and a spatial rift to Mecha World; when they found Leo was alone, Yaliso urged them to kill him.

Leo escaped Heliao and Heritos, then used their pursuit to return to God's Dwelling and kill Yaliso. He reached the spatial rift and began searching for a way to close it before the Level-Five World Lords returned.

• Leo activated his Earth Giant bloodline and fled after Heliao and Heritos's attacks tore through his defenses and grazed his arm.
• Leo lured the two Level-Five World Lords several thousand kilometers away while Yaoyao anchored a shadow teleportation point.
• Leo vanished from Heliao and Heritos's pursuit, then used the brief opening to return to God's Dwelling.
• Leo overwhelmed Yaliso with thirteen domains, tore out his heart, and stored his corpse in his wizard ring.
• Leo crushed the mechs near the spatial rift with his Gravity Domain and inspected the rift for a way to close it.

Leo stole the Water Element Essence and closed the spatial rift, but a World Lord-class mecha reopened it and trapped him inside God's Dwelling. He escaped through a shadow anchor point and ordered the wizard army to teleport in before the World Tree-controlled World Lords could overwhelm them.

• Leo collected the Water Element Essence from the altar, causing the spatial rift to begin healing.
• Heritos and Heliao returned and discovered that Leo had killed Yaliso and taken the Water Element Essence.
• A red level-four World Lord-class mecha punched the Earth Giant through the spatial rift and tore the nearly healed rift open again.
• Leo escaped God's Dwelling through a shadow anchor point and told Yaoyao that World Lords controlled by the World Tree had thwarted his plan.
• Leo contacted the Interstellar Wanderer and ordered the mothership to teleport as much of the wizard army as possible to the Marsh World.

Leo and Yaoyao watched the mecha army gather while Leo waited for reinforcements, and Interstellar Wanderer arrived with a vast wizard force. The two armies launched an all-out battle across the sea, leaving the Water Marsh People overwhelmed.

• Heritos and Heliao opened the small plane of God's Dwelling and deployed millions of mechas, including a powerful red level-four mecha, while Leo stayed out of reach.
• Leo admired the red mecha and discussed combining mechas with wizard formations with Yaoyao.
• Interstellar Wanderer arrived, followed by more than two million wizards, twenty million slaves, and over a thousand star warships.
• Interstellar Wanderer ordered his forces to kill every enemy, and the wizard army and mecha army exchanged devastating attacks.
• Heritos and Heliao sent about a hundred thousand Water Marsh People into the battle, but the slave army quickly wiped them out.

Leo fought the red level-four mech while the Interstellar Wanderer held off Heritos and Heliao, and the wizard army pinned down the mech forces. Leo left the mech dismantled into its original components as the battle around the spatial rift continued.

• The Interstellar Wanderer engaged Heritos and Heliao, drawing their battle away from the small plane while Leo was tasked with dealing with the red level-four mech and closing the rift.
• The Interstellar Wanderer kept the two Level-Five World Lords occupied, while the wizard army trapped the smaller mech force near the small plane's entrance.
• Leo activated his Stigmata True Body and Earth Giant bloodline, then struck the red level-four mech and sent it crashing into the sea.
• The mech fired lasers and attacked Leo with its greatsword, but Leo endured the barrage, severed both of its arms, and stored them with its weapons in Shadow Space.
• Leo battered the mech until its systems failed, then dismantled it into its original components.
