Chapter Summaries

Leo evacuated the wizard army from Manluo World as the world began to disintegrate, then returned to Gran Great World. He recounted the battle and the appearance of two Supreme Lords to Purple-Gold Vine, who had received an order from the Lord of Fate to withdraw.

• After the Supreme Lords departed, Manluo World's barrier shattered and the world began losing its air as its crust split and lava spread.
• Leo received Purple-Gold Vine's order to evacuate the wizard army to Gran World, then returned to the defensive line and ordered the retreat.
• While the spatial passage was being opened, Leo used his domains to kill tens of millions of puppets and helped buy time for the army's withdrawal.
• Leo, Yaoyao, and the Stigmata Wizards withdrew through the passage to Gran Great World, while the remaining wizards and slaves were told to evacuate afterward.
• Purple-Gold Vine dismissed the others and asked Leo what had happened; Leo described the ambush by the Lords of Souls, the Endless Pot, and the two Supreme Lords.

After Leo refused the Lord of Fate’s invitation to join the Elemental School, Purple-Gold Vine assigned him a dangerous mission in Gran World, where Leo went to hunt level-four Lords of Souls. He caught one attacking the wizard defensive line, but the Lord of Souls abandoned his body and escaped as a soul.

• Purple-Gold Vine told Leo that the Lord of Fate wanted to recruit him into the Elemental School, but Leo firmly refused.
• Purple-Gold Vine issued Leo an immediate mission to kill level-four Lords of Souls in Gran World, and Leo spent his battle merits on a gemstone ring before setting out.
• Leo learned that his clone Black Soluo had advanced to level two and was being cultivated by a level-five Lord of Souls.
• Purple-Gold Vine told Leo that high-level Stigmata Wizards would intervene if Lords of Souls level five or above appeared.
• Leo found a level-four Lord of Souls attacking the wizard defensive line and froze him with domain power, but the Lord of Souls abandoned his body and fled as a soul.

Leo returned to the Gran World battlefield, killed a Level-Four Lord of Souls, and escaped a trap set by three Level-Five Lords using his spatial disruption ring. After learning the enemy’s growing strength and avoiding suspected bait, he was ordered to rescue several embattled wizards as the defensive line neared collapse.

• Leo pursued and killed a fleeing Level-Four Lord of Souls, then escaped three Level-Five Lords by using his spatial disruption ring and entering Shadow World.
• The Interstellar Wanderer Stigmata Wizard and two other Level-Five Stigmata Wizards arrived and fought the three Lords of Souls.
• Leo hid elsewhere on the battlefield, consulted the Purple-Gold Vine Stigmata Great Wizard, and learned that Returning Breath World’s forces heavily outnumbered the wizards and were receiving reinforcements.
• Leo ignored reports of seven Level-Four Lords of Souls, suspecting they were bait, until Purple-Gold Vine ordered him to intervene on the fifteenth day.
• Leo saw Boiling Blood Tyrant Body and three World Lords being overwhelmed on separate battlefields, threatening the wizard defensive line.

Leo rescued three World Lords and discovered that more than fifteen Lords of Souls had gathered to ambush him at Boiling Blood Tyrant Body’s battlefield. After the Purple-Gold Vine Stigmata Great Wizard and other allies arrived and a decisive battle erupted, Leo escaped into the Shadow World with his protective ring destroyed.

• Leo killed the Lords of Souls at the first three battlefields and found no ambushes there.
• Leo arrived at Boiling Blood Tyrant Body’s battlefield, helped him kill two Lords of Souls, and was trapped when more than fifteen Lords of Souls sealed the space.
• The Purple-Gold Vine Stigmata Great Wizard and ten other high-level allies appeared to face the Lords of Souls, and twenty-six combatants unleashed their strongest attacks.
• Leo’s gemstone ring shattered as he escaped the energy storm into the Shadow World.
• Leo decided to remain hidden in the Shadow World until the battle ended because he could no longer break spatial confinement safely.

Leo returned to the battlefield in Gran World and rescued the badly wounded Boiling Blood Tyrant Body and Flame Condensation by killing all five remaining Level-Four Lords of Souls. Their enemies’ death chant continued as an uninterruptible summoning spell, so Leo and the others prepared traps and waited for the summoned beings to arrive.

• Leo left Shadow World and returned to Gran World’s battle, where higher-level combatants were fighting across the shattered battlefield.
• Leo saw Flame Condensation and the wounded Boiling Blood Tyrant Body being overwhelmed by five Level-Four Lords of Souls and charged in to help.
• Leo activated his Stigmata True Body and domains, then killed two Lords of Souls in coordination with Boiling Blood Tyrant Body.
• The remaining Lords of Souls began a summoning incantation and were killed by Leo, Flame Condensation, and Boiling Blood Tyrant Body, but the spell continued after their deaths.
• Leo ordered Boiling Blood Tyrant Body to recover and worked with Flame Condensation to set traps, including concealed hydrogen bombs, as the summoning reached its final stage.

Leo’s hydrogen-bomb ambush killed four Lords of Souls, but he fled as two level-five pursuers hunted him across Gran World. After ten days, the Fate Wizard Book connected the remaining Stigmata Wizards, revealing that only seven were left alive.

• Leo and Flame Condensation detonated their traps and ten hydrogen bombs as ten Lords of Souls arrived, killing four level-four Lords and badly injuring two others.
• The level-six Lord of Souls killed Boiling Blood Tyrant Body, then ordered the others to pursue Leo while Flame Condensation also escaped.
• Yaoyao warned Leo that two level-five Lords of Souls were chasing him, and he used Shadow Walking to flee without stopping.
• Leo ran for ten days as the battlefield remained unresolved and he feared the Lords of Souls’ reinforcements would overwhelm the wizards.
• The Fate Wizard Book connected Leo with six other surviving Stigmata Wizards, revealing that Boiling Blood Tyrant Body and Flame Condensation had both died and only seven Stigmata Wizards remained in Gran World.

Leo witnessed the Supreme Lord’s avatar summon a projection of the Fate Wizard Book, which captured every Lord of Souls on the battlefield. After the surviving Stigmata Wizards ordered an immediate counterattack, Leo left uninjured while his allies faced severe losses.

• Leo entered the battlefield as the Supreme Lord’s avatar descended, forcing the Lords of Souls to flee or crash to the ground.
• The avatar’s Fate Wizard Book projection ensnared the Lords of Souls, and the God of Giants and Purple-Gold Vine helped overcome the three level-six Lords’ resistance.
• The chains dragged all three level-six, nine level-five, and two level-four Lords of Souls into the wizard book before the avatar vanished after three breaths.
• Leo found Purple-Gold Vine, the God of Giants, the Interstellar Wanderer, and Heluoluo injured, while two Level-Five World Lords and several Stigmata Wizards had died.
• Purple-Gold Vine ordered the survivors to lead their armies in a counterattack, and Leo departed to carry out the order.
• Leo contacted Hu Jianxing and confirmed their location, while Yaoyao mourned the battle’s casualties.

Leo helped clear the puppet armies after Returning Breath World's counteroffensive in Gran World collapsed, and he learned that the wizards had won a decisive victory. Before returning to Wizard World for leave, he was told that he would have to support battlefields in other worlds, leaving him worried that the Lords of Souls would target him again.

• Leo reached another front and used his domain to slaughter puppet armies while helping his academy's young wizards earn battle merits.
• Leo joined the other Stigmata Wizards in clearing the battlefield and spoke with Interstellar Wanderer and Pureblood Blue Dragon Heluoluo about the Endless Pot and the shattered worlds.
• Leo and his companions reasoned that the Lords of Souls had launched their premature counteroffensive because their reinforcements had been cut off by the Supreme Lords' battles.
• Five years later, the puppet armies were cleared, and Leo's academy and the dragonborn made trade agreements with Interstellar Wanderer and Heluoluo.
• Purple-Gold Vine told Leo that the wizards had won in Gran World and would next reinforce other worlds before taking leave in Wizard World, alarming Leo about the danger.

Leo reinforced Icefield World, killing its three Lords of Souls and completing his assigned small-world missions before returning to Gran World. After the wizards handed over the front, Leo and the others departed for the Wizard World, while Leo remained uncertain how to advance to level five.

• Three Lords of Souls nearly defeated the two Toothed Crocodile World Lords in Icefield World, but they fled when Leo arrived as reinforcements.
• Leo pursued and killed all three Lords of Souls alone, then left Icefield World as the Toothed Crocodile People counterattacked the puppet army.
• Yaoyao told Leo he had dealt with fourteen Lords of Souls across five small worlds and still had three worlds to reinforce.
• Leo completed his remaining missions and returned to Gran World, where he and the other Stigmata Wizards waited for replacements after a devastating hundred-year war.
• Leo learned that sixty percent of Returning Breath World's prepared forces had been stranded by the Supreme Lords' battle, weakening its counteroffensive.
• The replacements arrived, and Leo and the other wizards boarded a starry sky mothership to return to the Wizard World.

After a century of war, Leo returned to the Atomic Control Wizard Academy and learned how it had prospered during his absence. Meng Jie also warned him that the Blue Dragon Bloodline Wizard Academy secretly had an enormous force of official wizards.

• The Wizard World’s mothership returned with the squad, and the Purple-Gold Vine Stigmata Great Wizard granted everyone a hundred years of leave while again hinting at interest in Leo.
• Leo returned to the Atomic Control Stigmata Wizard Academy, where its people welcomed him, then summoned Meng Jie to hear how the academy had developed.
• Meng Jie reported that the academy’s territories and wizard population had grown substantially, but declined Leo’s offer to step down as deputy headmaster because he no longer expected to advance.
• Meng Jie asked Leo to bury him beside his parents on New Earth after his death and to look after his younger sister, and Leo promised to honor both requests.
• Meng Jie warned Leo that the Blue Dragon Bloodline Wizard Academy had at least five hundred thousand official wizards, including many level-two and level-three wizards, far more than its apparent size justified.

Leo investigated the Blue Dragon Wizard Academy’s hidden troop buildup, ordered his academy to stay within its territory, and reviewed New Earth’s artificial intelligence research. He rewarded the project team and directed it to work with Hu Jianxing on mecha accessories, but the system still fell short of Leo’s battlefield needs.

• Meng Jie told Leo that the Blue Dragon Wizard Academy had secretly gathered more than five hundred thousand Official Wizards, and Leo ordered his people not to cross the academy’s borders.
• Leo met with New Earth’s research directors and heard that its artificial intelligence could coordinate forces across a small world and greatly improve low-level troops’ combat effectiveness.
• Leo reviewed nearly a thousand years of artificial intelligence research and found that interference from powerful energy and the limits of signal transmission restricted its battlefield usefulness.
• Leo awarded the artificial intelligence department resources, energy crystals, Gulu Beasts, and land in Gnoll World, and told it to work with Hu Jianxing on mecha accessories.
• Leo gave the other research departments smaller rewards and concluded that the artificial intelligence would struggle to transmit information amid battlefield energy storms.

Leo received a warning from his clone Black Soluo that Returning Breath World might soon attack the Wizard World through the route near his academy. He began evacuating his territory’s people and resources, while concealing what he knew from the Blue Dragon Bloodline Stigmata Wizard.

• Leo learned from the Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard that the metal module had completely bound him, and resolved to keep his own module away from his main body until his clone reached level four.
• After seventy years of fruitless research into advancing to level five, Leo received Black Soluo’s warning that Returning Breath World might launch a surprise attack on the Wizard World’s homeland.
• Leo concluded that the attack would likely pass through the Blue Dragon Bloodline Wizard Academy near his own territory, and ordered the evacuation of personnel, Gulu Beasts, residents, and important supplies.
• When the Blue Dragon Bloodline Stigmata Wizard questioned the relocation, Leo claimed he needed space for experiments and refused to explain further.
• After the call ended, Leo resented the Blue Dragon Bloodline Stigmata Wizard and considered killing him through someone who was not a wizard.

Leo watched Returning Breath World's surprise attack overwhelm the Blue Dragon Bloodline Academy's territory while Wizard World's response lagged and higher-level defenders remained absent. The chapter ended with puppet armies and Lords of Souls advancing unchecked as Leo waited for orders.

• Leo and the academy evacuated 80% of the territory's population and supplies into the demiplane and other worlds.
• Leo spotted Returning Breath World's forces entering Wizard World and used reconnaissance robots to track the attack.
• The footage showed over a hundred Lords of Souls and vast puppet armies pouring through black vortices and devastating the Blue Dragon Bloodline Academy's territory.
• Leo received no orders from the higher-ranking Stigmata Wizards, even as the invasion spread through his domain.
• Guardian Wizards arrived late and in overwhelming numbers, but the defenders seen in Leo's footage were low-level and were overrun by the puppet armies.

Leo watched the puppet army destroy his territory and academy while the upper-level wizards did nothing, then spent a month without news as the invasion continued. He saw the Tower of Elements arrive and used his Earth Giant bloodline and Godslaying Staff to keep its immense suction from tearing apart his demiplane.

• The puppet army razed Leo’s academy and territory, and Yaoyao cursed the Wizard World while Leo lamented the upper-level wizards’ deliberate inaction.
• Yaoyao reminded Leo that their people and supplies had been evacuated, and Leo agreed they could rebuild after the invasion.
• For the next month, the Fate Wizard Book stayed silent, Leo’s reconnaissance robots were destroyed, and the puppet army’s spread remained unknown.
• Yaoyao spotted the Tower of Elements growing into a colossal bridge between Leo’s demiplane and the Wizard World, and Leo recognized the legendary universe-class treasure.
• The Tower of Elements generated powerful suction that warped space and pulled Leo’s demiplane toward it, causing cracks to form.
• Leo activated his Earth Giant Bloodline True Body and anchored the demiplane with the Godslaying Staff, stopping its movement toward the Tower of Elements.

Leo was ordered to enter the Tower of Elements and fight the Lords of Souls captured in the Wizard World. Inside, he reunited with Little Bookworm No. 007, who assigned him to face three foes alone on the first floor, leaving Leo suspecting he had been set up again.

• The Tower of Elements stopped pulling in Leo’s demiplane after it captured the Lords of Souls and puppet armies, and the Fate Wizard Book ordered Leo to enter the tower and kill them.
• After ten minutes, the tower teleported Leo away, where he reunited with Little Bookworm No. 007 and Yaoyao confronted the worm over their previous encounter.
• Little Bookworm No. 007 explained that he had joined forces with the Supreme Lord and arranged the Lords of Souls by level across the tower’s floors.
• Little Bookworm No. 007 sent Leo alone to the first floor to fight three weaker Lords of Souls, and Leo recognized a wicked smile before he vanished.
• Leo arrived in a ruined plane with incomplete laws, but his strongest ability remained available and he could use his full strength.

Leo killed three Level-Four Lords of Souls and cleared the puppet armies before confronting Fanyaxis, Wings of Death at the dragon’s lair. Fanyaxis gave Leo a scale to deliver to Heluoluo, and Leo demanded payment for carrying the message.

• Leo used twelve domains to kill three Level-Four Lords of Souls in under ten minutes, then turned his attacks on the puppet armies.
• At the foot of the central peak, Leo hesitated to enter Fanyaxis, Wings of Death’s lair, but Fanyaxis promised not to attack him.
• Leo entered the lair and told Fanyaxis that he had met Hadesang and Heluoluo, and that Heluoluo had asked about Fanyaxis.
• Fanyaxis gave Leo a dragon scale and asked him to deliver it to Heluoluo.
• Leo demanded a fee to pass on the message, angering Fanyaxis, but insisted the dragon should pay rather than lose the chance to communicate.

Leo took dragon materials and blood from Fanyaxis, Wings of Death, in exchange for delivering a message to Heluoluo, then searched the cleared worlds on the lower floors for valuable specimens and treasures. On the fiftieth floor, he sensed Stigmata Wizards and Lords of Souls fighting.

• Leo demanded Fanyaxis, Wings of Death's shed scales, horns, and claws, along with a hundred liters of dragon blood, in exchange for delivering his message to Heluoluo.
• Fanyaxis, Wings of Death, gave Leo a wizardry ring and opened the gate to the second-floor world, while Little Bookworm No. 007 watched Leo depart.
• Leo found evidence that the Lords of Souls and Stigmata Wizards had fought on the second and third floors, then collected undead specimens and rare marine creatures for his Shadow Space.
• Leo searched the fourth floor for concentrated fire crystals and continued gathering treasures through the lower worlds instead of catching up with the Stigmata Wizards.
• On the fiftieth floor, Leo sensed Stigmata Wizards and Lords of Souls engaged in battle and stopped before continuing onward.

Leo hid behind the other Stigmata Wizards while collecting treasures, but the Golden Eye Piercing Illusions Stigmata Wizard discovered him and drew him into the final stages of the clearing mission. On the sixtieth floor, they found two concealed Lords of Souls, and Leo watched Golden Eye Piercing Illusions overwhelm his opponent with thousands of seemingly identical attackers.

• Yaoyao complained that the Stigmata Wizards had taken months to clear fifty floors, while Leo and he waited in hiding and collected treasures.
• The Golden Eye Piercing Illusions Stigmata Wizard saw through Leo’s concealment, recognized him from the Fate Wizard Book, and introduced him to the other wizards.
• Leo followed Golden Eye Piercing Illusions and the remaining Stigmata Wizards through the cleared floors until they reached the sixtieth floor.
• Golden Eye Piercing Illusions found two concealed Lords of Souls and took Leo with him, while the other Stigmata Wizards went to fight elsewhere.
• Leo leveled a forest with lightning, then killed his assigned Lord of Souls as Golden Eye Piercing Illusions suppressed his own target with thousands of attacking copies.

Leo learned that Golden Eye Piercing Illusions believed the Tower of Elements Supreme Lord had allowed the invasion to worsen for personal gain, then discovered that Little Bookworm No. 007 had privately intercepted him after the mission. Little Bookworm asked Leo and Yaoyao to help find other little bookworms, claiming Yaoyao could detect them in a way even the Supreme Lord could not.

• Golden Eye Piercing Illusions defeated the hidden Lord of Souls and told Leo that the Tower of Elements Supreme Lord had delayed intervening to obtain something important.
• Leo and Golden Eye Piercing Illusions agreed to stay in contact before all Level-Four Stigmata Wizards were teleported away after completing their mission.
• Little Bookworm No. 007 intercepted Leo in the void instead of sending him back to his demiplane.
• Little Bookworm No. 007 revealed that other little bookworms existed and asked Leo to help find them so he could become whole.
• Little Bookworm No. 007 said Yaoyao could find the other little bookworms, leaving Leo and Yaoyao shocked by his knowledge of their secret ability.

Leo refused Little Bookworm No. 007’s demand to find the other Little Bookworms, but agreed under threat after No. 007 exposed Yaoyao’s shadow-pulling ability. Back in his demiplane, Leo arranged for the academy to be rebuilt, delivered Fanyaxis’s dragon scale to a blue dragon from Heluoluo, and told Black Soluo to prepare for Yate Wude’s death.

• Little Bookworm No. 007 revealed that he knew Leo and Yaoyao could pull the shadows of universe-grade treasures into their service, then threatened to tell the Supreme Lords unless Leo searched for his missing companions.
• Leo agreed to search for the other Little Bookworms, and Little Bookworm No. 007 teleported him back to his demiplane, promising to return when Leo reached level five.
• Leo reassured the shaken Yaoyao and sent him to lead the wizards in rebuilding the academy while Leo handled other matters.
• Leo used the altar to contact a blue dragon from Heluoluo, gave him Fanyaxis, Wings of Death’s dragon scale, and accepted a wizard ring in return.
• Leo summoned Black Soluo and told him that the Lords of Souls and puppet armies had been drawn into the Tower of Elements, that Yate Wude was certain to die, and that he should prepare to claim territory after advancing to level three.
