Chapter Summaries

Leo assigned Meng Mengmeng to replenish New Earth’s dragon-aura statues and considered making her its World Lord to fulfill Meng Jie’s wish. While monitoring the shadows for signs of life, Leo detected a connection to a dying little red snake and sent it a message offering what it desired.

• Leo gave Meng Mengmeng one hundred liters of dragon blood and instructed her to replenish New Earth’s dragon-aura statues over the next century.
• Leo told Yaoyao that he hoped New Earth’s World Will might accept Meng Mengmeng as its World Lord, fulfilling Meng Jie’s wish.
• Yaoyao reported faint disturbances in the shadows Leo had placed in Shadow Space, so Leo stayed to monitor them.
• Leo sensed a faint fluctuation in one shadow and used his blood to strengthen the connection, then sent an offer to the creature on the other end.
• The shadow connected Leo to a badly wounded little red snake, who was starving and mistook the voice offering food for a hallucination.

Leo used energy sent through a shadow to evolve a dying little red snake into a powerful, intelligent giant red snake, then persuaded him to hunt and offer blood in exchange for more power. After gathering blood and helping the snake reach Apprentice Level, Leo urged him to seek stronger energy-using creatures so he could identify the other world more precisely.

• Leo sent energy through the shadow and accelerated the little red snake’s evolution, allowing him to swat away an attacking eagle and grow into a giant red snake.
• Leo claimed to be the Lord of the Universe and told the giant red snake to drip prey’s blood into the shadow in exchange for power.
• The giant red snake hunted nearby creatures and offered their blood while Leo analyzed the world and continued sending controlled energy through the shadow.
• After a day, Leo had collected a liter of blood, and the giant red snake had grown to thirteen meters and reached Apprentice Level.
• Leo promised the giant red snake he could become the strongest in his world and urged him to hunt energy-using creatures; the snake set out to find stronger opponents.

Leo finished identifying the location of a primitive world and arranged for Black Soluo to conquer it after reaching level four. A hundred years later, Leo received orders to lead academy forces in the war against the Returning Breath World Cluster.

• The red giant serpent gathered energy-rich blood for Leo, who determined that its primitive world had two Level-Four World Lords and valuable undeveloped resources.
• Black Soluo asked Leo to let him conquer the world after advancing to level four, and Leo agreed to make it his gift.
• Black Soluo reported that he controlled a large part of Yate Wude's former territory and planned to advance in another hundred and fifty years, coordinating with the Returning Breath World's future troop-spawning plan.
• Leo told the red giant serpent to continue growing on its own, then spent ten years pinpointing its world's coordinates and gave them to Black Soluo.
• A hundred years later, Leo received an order to bring thirty percent of the academy's forces to Star Mothership No. 156 for the war against the Returning Breath World Cluster.

Leo joined the wizard campaign against Returning Breath World, where his team planned a rapid conquest of the worlds caught in the war. He distrusted Blue Dragon Bloodline Stigmata Wizard and wondered whether the wizards’ aggressive plan ignored Returning Breath World’s coming troop buildup.

• Yaoyao brought fifty thousand wizards and ten million Gulu Beasts to the starry sky mothership, including five hundred level two wizards.
• Leo met Falling Stars Stigmata Great Wizard and Qi and Blood Frenzy Stigmata Great Wizard, who would lead the campaign team.

• Qi and Blood Frenzy Stigmata Great Wizard outlined plans to conquer ninety-six worlds and potentially advance toward Returning Breath World's homeland.
• Qi and Blood Frenzy assigned Leo heavier responsibilities and asked him to look after Golden Eye Piercing Illusions and Blue Dragon Bloodline; Leo agreed to help if able and looked toward Blue Dragon Bloodline.

Leo and the wizard army arrived in the Purple Gold World, where Qi and Blood Frenzy ordered Leo and two other Stigmata Wizards to eliminate the puppet army and all Lords of Souls within twenty years. As the three split up to hunt, Leo noticed a suspicious deployment of Qi and Blood Frenzy Academy wizards, while Golden Eye Piercing Illusions and Blue Dragon Bloodline discussed recruiting him.

• Leo learned that the Returning Breath World’s forces were on the defensive and entered the Purple Gold World with the wizard army.
• Qi and Blood Frenzy ordered Leo, Golden Eye Piercing Illusions, and Blue Dragon Bloodline to kill the six level-four Lords of Souls within twenty years.
• After Leo and the others left, Falling Stars revealed a plan with a success rate above 60 percent, which Qi and Blood Frenzy intended to begin after the Lords of Souls were eliminated.
• Leo noticed Qi and Blood Frenzy Academy wizards traveling behind the battlefield and wondered what mission they were carrying out.
• Blue Dragon Bloodline proposed that the three hunt separately, and Leo agreed before quickly disappearing in his chosen direction.
• Golden Eye Piercing Illusions warned Blue Dragon Bloodline to keep Leo from being alienated, then followed Leo while Blue Dragon Bloodline flew off with concealed killing intent.

Leo investigated the hidden conflict between the body refinement and elemental schools while studying the microscopic world and monitoring the war in the Purple Gold World. After discovering that the Atomic Control Academy’s AI-assisted wizards were fighting with exceptional efficiency, he found a level-four Lord of Souls conspicuously exposed behind the battle lines and suspected that someone had leaked his movements.

• Leo and Yaoyao agreed to avoid drawing attention from the Stigmata Wizards while Leo studied and his shadows searched for level-four Lords of Souls.
• Leo observed the wizard army’s costly, relentless assault on the puppet army under Qi and Blood Frenzy’s twenty-year extermination deadline.
• Leo saw that Hu Jianxing and the Atomic Control Academy’s AI-assisted force used coordinated attacks to destroy fifty thousand puppets with no casualties.
• Leo sensed a level-four Lord of Souls openly directing puppets behind the battle lines and recognized that it was likely a trap set specifically for him.
• Yaoyao warned that someone had revealed Leo’s movements, but Leo said only two people knew where he had been going and he could not tell which one was responsible.

Leo and Golden Eye Piercing Illusions Stigmata Wizard killed a Level-Four Lord of Souls who had been used as bait, triggering a spatial vortex. Six more Lords of Souls emerged, including two Level-Six Lords, and focused their killing intent on Leo.

• Leo contacted Golden Eye Piercing Illusions Stigmata Wizard and Blue Dragon Bloodline Stigmata Wizard after finding a Level-Four Lord of Souls, but Blue Dragon Bloodline declined to join them.
• Golden Eye Piercing Illusions Stigmata Wizard arrived and detected a hidden spatial setup that could summon other Lords of Souls when the bait was attacked.
• Golden Eye Piercing Illusions Stigmata Wizard summoned the Qi and Blood Frenzy Stigmata Great Wizard as backup, and the group waited for him to arrive.
• Leo and Golden Eye Piercing Illusions Stigmata Wizard attacked and killed the Level-Four Lord of Souls, causing a spatial vortex to open.
• Two Level-Six, two Level-Five, and two Level-Four Lords of Souls emerged from the vortex and fixed their killing intent on Leo.

The Qi and Blood Frenzy Stigmata Great Wizard appeared as the Blood Tide Giant and fought the two level-six Lords of Souls, while Leo and Golden Eye Piercing Illusions faced the remaining enemies. Golden Eye Piercing Illusions immobilized the last level-five Lord of Souls, letting Leo strike its soul with his strongest attacks.

• The Blood Tide Giant emerged behind Leo, sliced through space, and killed three Lords of Souls with blade qi before chasing the two level-six Lords of Souls into the sky.
• Golden Eye Piercing Illusions revealed that the three lower-ranked Lords of Souls had already been cut apart, leaving only one level-five Lord of Souls against him and Leo.
• Golden Eye Piercing Illusions froze the last level-five Lord of Souls with a beam from his vertical pupil as it charged them.
• Leo transformed into an Earth Giant and hit the immobilized Lord of Souls with Thunder Destruction Grand Witchcraft and Nuclear Fusion Grand Witchcraft, blasting a hole through the location of its soul.

Leo helped Golden Eye Piercing Illusions Stigmata Wizard kill a Level-Five Lord of Souls and learned that the wizard’s power to immobilize it was not his own. Qi and Blood Frenzy Stigmata Great Wizard reported that he had swiftly killed two Level-Six Lords of Souls and praised Leo, then ordered him to help eliminate the remaining Lords of Souls and puppets in the Purple Gold World.

• Golden Eye Piercing Illusions Stigmata Wizard praised Leo’s power and said he wanted to become his friend, while Yaoyao collected the corpses into the shadow space.
• Golden Eye Piercing Illusions revealed that Leo’s attacks were exceptionally powerful, and Leo pointed out that the wizard’s ability to immobilize a Level-Five Lord of Souls had enabled the kill.
• Qi and Blood Frenzy Stigmata Great Wizard arrived and announced that two Level-Six Lords of Souls were dead, surprising Leo with how quickly he had defeated them.
• Golden Eye Piercing Illusions explained that Qi and Blood Frenzy was among the strongest Level-Six Stigmata Great Wizards and a candidate for advancement to Supreme Lord.
• Qi and Blood Frenzy awarded Leo battle merits at the highest rate, then ordered him to help kill the remaining Lords of Souls and puppets in the Purple Gold World.
• Leo concluded that Golden Eye Piercing Illusions had close ties to a Supreme Lord and had received his immobilizing power from one.

Leo worked alongside Golden Eye Piercing Illusions, who shared secrets about the Wizard World and supplied him with military merits while seeking his help to develop Elemental Body Refinement Wizards. After the Lords of Souls in the Purple Gold World were eliminated, Leo joined the campaign against its puppet armies, where Qi and Blood Frenzy pushed for a faster advance.

• Leo discovered Golden Eye Piercing Illusions had not revealed his whereabouts, but refused his request to help develop Elemental Body Refinement Wizards.
• Golden Eye Piercing Illusions told Leo about Supreme Lords, wizard schools, and the Wizard World's conflict with the Returning Breath World, while withholding deeper secrets.
• Blue Dragon Bloodline killed the remaining Lords of Souls, and Leo's military merits reached 80 as Qi and Blood Frenzy credited him generously.
• Golden Eye Piercing Illusions urged Leo to clear the puppet armies quickly so their later plans could proceed sooner, but did not explain those plans.
• Leo used five domain powers to destroy puppets and collect their souls, while the wizard army wore down the remaining forces to limit casualties.
• Qi and Blood Frenzy repeatedly pressed the wizard army to advance faster, but stopped after Leo reported that their pace had reached its limit.

Leo and the wizard army cleared the puppet forces with overwhelming bombardment, then began carving a vast fissure through the Purple Gold World under Qi and Blood Frenzy’s urgent orders. After a year, Leo’s section remained far behind schedule, so he and millions of wizards, slaves, puppets, and summoned creatures worked together to accelerate construction.

• Leo’s wizard army advanced behind two motherships and a hundred thousand warships, whose bombardment destroyed over 40% of the puppet army.
• Under Qi and Blood Frenzy’s three-year deadline, Leo’s forces cleared the puppet army in two and a half years.
• Qi and Blood Frenzy ordered Leo to lead his army in carving a fissure one million kilometers long, one hundred meters wide, and one hundred thousand meters deep within five years.
• Leo used Nuclear Fusion Grand Witchcraft to blast deep pits along the route, exhausting himself as he helped the workers meet the demanding specifications.
• After a year, Leo’s section had progressed less than two hundred thousand kilometers, so he recruited every available worker and creature while warships and motherships fired energy cannons at the ground.

Leo completed a series of grueling world-dividing assignments, then learned that they had prepared the way for the Body Refinement School’s secret Star-Shattering Plan. The plan would use fragments of the Purple Gold World to destroy at least thirty war worlds, and Leo left realizing that his school intended to end the war quickly, without the Elemental School’s knowledge.

• Leo finished his million-kilometer assignment, received ten million slave reinforcements from Qi and Blood Frenzy, and completed the next assignments until the wizard armies linked up.
• Qi and Blood Frenzy summoned Leo, Blue Dragon Bloodline, and Golden Eye Piercing Illusions to announce that the Falling Stars Stigmata Great Wizard would divide the Purple Gold World into fragments for the Star-Shattering Plan.
• Qi and Blood Frenzy explained that the plan would use forty world fragments to destroy at least thirty war worlds and instructed the wizards to protect the Falling Stars Stigmata Great Wizard.
• Qi and Blood Frenzy ordered the wizard armies back to the mothership and revealed that the plan was a secret Body Refinement School operation, with the Supreme Lord and other Stigmata Wizards providing support.
• Leo realized the Body Refinement School was pursuing a swift end to the war without the Elemental School’s knowledge, unlike the Elemental School’s preference for prolonging the conflict.

Leo questioned whether the war against the Returning Breath World was being shaped by the conflict between the wizard schools, but set aside his suspicions to focus on his mission. As the wizard forces left Purple Gold World, Golden Eye Piercing Illusions punished Blue Dragon Bloodline for betraying Leo, then showed Leo a view of the world from above.

• Leo considered whether the Body Refinement Wizard school or the Elemental School was driving the war and wondered if the Returning Breath World invasion had been manipulated.
• Golden Eye Piercing Illusions confronted Blue Dragon Bloodline, who admitted he had betrayed Leo because he could not accept the situation, and struck him down.
• Golden Eye Piercing Illusions warned Blue Dragon Bloodline not to repeat his betrayal, canceled his leave, separated his future rotations from Leo's, and ordered his academy relocated.
• Qi and Blood Frenzy ordered the wizard armies and World Lords to leave Purple Gold World within a month, leaving only four Stigmata Wizards behind.
• Leo and Golden Eye Piercing Illusions went to watch the world barrier, where Golden Eye used a rune screen to show Leo an overhead view of the great fissure across Purple Gold World.

Leo and Golden Eye Piercing Illusions watched Qi and Blood Frenzy deepen the fissures in the Purple Gold World as part of the Star-Shattering Plan. After Falling Stars tore off the first world fragment, the world was struck by catastrophic upheaval, and Leo and the others prepared for the Lords of Souls to respond.

• Qi and Blood Frenzy noticed Leo and Golden Eye Piercing Illusions watching, then used a saber strike to deepen the fissures across the Purple Gold World.
• Golden Eye Piercing Illusions showed Leo Falling Stars's construction map and explained that Qi and Blood Frenzy would prepare key locations before Falling Stars acted.
• After six months without any Lords of Souls arriving, Qi and Blood Frenzy warned that they would investigate once the first world fragment was torn away and laid saber traps in the world barrier.
• Falling Stars tore the first fragment from the Purple Gold World, causing the fissure to widen and the land to tilt as rivers and mountains shifted.
• Catastrophic hurricanes, volcanic eruptions, and fires swept across the ruptured world.

Leo became absorbed in observing the laws leaking from the shattered Purple Gold World and lost three months before the Blood Tide Giant woke him. As the world continued breaking apart, sixty Lords of Souls emerged from an asteroid belt and faced the wizards guarding the barrier.

• Leo watched the Purple Gold World's disasters and glimpsed the laws leaking from its ruptures, but could not retain any of the runes he saw.
• The Blood Tide Giant woke Leo after three months, and Leo learned that a fragment equal to one-fortieth of the Purple Gold World had broken away and the Falling Stars Stigmata Wizard was tearing off another.
• Qi and Blood Frenzy warned the wizards that the Lords of Souls' attack was imminent as reports arrived of reinforcements appearing and vanishing across other worlds.
• The Golden Eye Piercing Illusions Stigmata Wizard detected sixty Lords of Souls concealed in an approaching asteroid belt and revealed their positions.
• The Blood Tide Giant shattered the asteroids with saber qi, exposing the sixty Lords of Souls as they gathered outside the Purple Gold World.

Leo and the Stigmata Wizards confronted the full force of sixty Lords of Souls outside Purple Gold World, and the battle erupted into a massive clash. The level-six fighters drew their fight into the universe while the remaining combatants prepared for separate battles.

• Yaoyao assessed the Lords of Souls as ten level-sixes, fifteen level-fives, and thirty-five level-fours, and Qi and Blood Frenzy summoned more than thirty Stigmata Wizards to meet them.
• The Lords of Souls attacked, and the Stigmata Wizards unleashed their Bloodline True Bodies and powerful attacks; Leo escaped to the battlefield's edge while several Lords of Souls were killed.
• The sixteen level-sixes moved their battle away from Purple Gold World, while the level-fives split off to fight; one Level-Five Stigmata Wizard was blasted toward the planet.
• The twenty-two Level Four Stigmata Wizards faced thirty-two Level-Four Lords of Souls, and one wizard declared he would claim three opponents for himself.

Leo attacked the Lords of Souls while their amplification array held off the Stigmata Wizards, killing three key members and causing the formation to collapse. Golden Eye Piercing Illusions remained beside Leo as the fifth-level Lords of Souls noticed him and began turning their attention toward him.

• The Stigmata Wizards attacked the Lords of Souls, but the Lords linked their auras through an amplification array and withstood the assault.
• Golden Eye Piercing Illusions asked Leo to demonstrate his power, then explained that his role as support personnel kept him out of the fighting.
• Leo used Thunder Destruction Grand Witchcraft to kill the first Lord of Souls and reveal himself as a target to the enemy.
• The Lords of Souls alerted their leaders, and fifth-level Lords of Souls shifted their attention toward Leo.
• Leo killed two more Lords of Souls at crucial array nodes, and the third death caused the entire formation to collapse.

After the level-four Lords of Souls fell, Leo and Golden Eye Piercing Illusions helped the Stigmata Wizards turn their attention to the level-five battle. Leo stayed behind the fighting lines, searching for openings, and weakened a level-five Lord of Souls as the chapter ended.

• Leo killed six level-four Lords of Souls after the amplification formation collapsed, while the Body Refinement Stigmata Wizards overwhelmed the remaining enemies.
• Thirteen Body Refinement Stigmata Wizards held off one level-five Lord of Souls as Golden Eye Piercing Illusions immobilized another, allowing Leo to kill him with Nuclear Fusion Grand Witchcraft.
• The second level-five Lord of Souls fled to the larger battle, and the Stigmata Wizards finished off all thirty-two level-four Lords of Souls without losing anyone.
• Golden Eye Piercing Illusions ordered twenty level-four Stigmata Wizards to form groups of ten and pin down two level-five Lords of Souls.
• Leo asked Golden Eye Piercing Illusions about his identity, but he promised only that Leo would learn it someday.
• Unable to track the swift combatants in the main level-five battle, Leo used his domain power to slow and weaken a level-five Lord of Souls surrounded by ten Stigmata Wizards.

Leo and the Stigmata Wizards continued their long battle against the Lords of Souls until one Lord sacrificed himself and opened a black vortex. Level-four experimental puppets emerged, and Leo and Golden Eye Piercing Illusions attacked them as the fight continued.

• Leo used domain power and lightning witchcraft from the rear to help suppress the level-five Lords of Souls while the battle remained undecided for two months.
• After suffering severe injuries, one level-five Lord of Souls withdrew and sacrificed himself at a breach in the world barrier.
• The sacrifice opened a black vortex, and Golden Eye Piercing Illusions explained that it might release defective level-four soul experiments from the Returning Breath World.
• Ugly level-four experimental subjects emerged from the vortex, and Golden Eye Piercing Illusions analyzed their bodies and chaotic auras.
• Leo covered the emerging puppets with domain effects that reduced their strength by more than half, then unleashed Thunder: Scattering Great Witchcraft at the vortex exit.

Leo held back waves of level-four puppets emerging from a black vortex while the Stigmata Wizards battled the Lords of Souls. Qi and Blood Frenzy ended the battle with a single slash, but Golden Eye Piercing Illusions warned that the Returning Breath World’s next attack could involve a Supreme Lord.

• Leo and Golden Eye Piercing Illusions discovered that the level-four puppets were flawed creations, and Leo destroyed wave after wave as they poured from the black vortex.
• Golden Eye Piercing Illusions said the level-six battle had ended and the Stigmata Wizards were gaining the advantage over the Lords of Souls.
• Leo and the other Stigmata Wizards retreated when Qi and Blood Frenzy ordered them to fall back, then watched him destroy the remaining Lords of Souls, puppets, and vortex with one slash.
• Qi and Blood Frenzy returned with the other Level-Six Stigmata Great Wizards, and Golden Eye Piercing Illusions said all ten Level-Six Lords of Souls had been dealt with.
• Golden Eye Piercing Illusions warned Leo that the Returning Breath World would not give up and that its next attack might bring a Supreme Lord.
