Chapter Summaries

Leo used the Black Metal Module and Planetary Fusion Great Sorcery to turn a dead planet into a star and kill Hamixi, a Level-Six Lord of Souls. He returned to Thousand Pools World, stopped the attraction arrays before the star’s heat could devastate it, and left the others stunned by his power.

• Hamixi failed to break through the metal enclosing him and prepared to abandon his body and escape as a soul.
• Leo unleashed Planetary Fusion Great Sorcery while Yaoyao retrieved the Black Metal Module, triggering a fusion reaction that engulfed the dead planet and erased Hamixi’s soul.
• Leo explained that he had used the Black Metal Module as a trump card, then assessed his attack and defense after the battle.
• Leo returned to Thousand Pools World and stopped the attraction arrays, causing the remaining planet to collapse into fragments that the world barrier would intercept.
• The Interstellar Wanderer and the others questioned the destruction, and Leo casually called it an experiment accident before leaving them behind.

Leo contacted a desperate Snow Elf and offered him a way to grow stronger so he could resist Black Domain World and save his people. The Snow Elf accepted the exchange and set out to hunt prey for power.

• Leo and Yaoyao discussed Golden Eye Piercing Illusions's interest in Leo and prepared for the possibility that he would attack.
• Tortai alerted Leo that a shadow was fluctuating again, and Leo used his blood to deepen his connection with the being on the other side.
• A Snow Elf told Leo that Black Domain World had seized a third of Snowfield World and demanded a million Snow Elf women, including his beloved Marisa, as a supposed price for withdrawing.
• Leo refused to fight Black Domain World directly but promised the Snow Elf power in exchange for the blood of level-bearing prey.
• The Snow Elf accepted Leo's terms, rose with his longsword, and prepared to hunt.

Leo used the Shadow Plane to tempt a Snow Elf into trading resources for strength, discovering that the elf’s tears were valuable Ice Essence. As the Snow Elf continued supplying it, Leo gave Tortai shadow talent and left him to maintain contact while Leo remained occupied.

• A male Snow Elf hunted forest creatures and traded their blood through his shadow for energy that rapidly increased his strength.
• Leo persuaded the Snow Elf to test other resources, while the Shadow Plane secretly established a teleportation passage to the elf’s world.
• After trying more than a thousand items, the Snow Elf sent his tears and discovered that they produced powerful surges of energy; he began crying to gather more Ice Essence.
• Yaoyao urged Leo to conquer the Snowfield World and control the Snow Elves, but Leo said he was busy and needed to strengthen the elf against the invading Black Domain World first.
• Leo decreed that resources sent through the shadow would receive equivalent energy, then granted Tortai shadow talent and instructed him to communicate with the Snow Elf as Leo.

Leo used his control over the Shadow Plane’s laws to nurture gifted lifeforms while Thousand Pools World recovered, then received orders to destroy Forest Farm World with Golden Eye Piercing Illusions Stigmata Wizard. Leo recognized the assignment as a chance to kill Golden Eye Piercing Illusions and plotted to draw in the Supreme Lord of Returning Breath World, then finally agreed to depart after delaying for half a year.

• Leo returned to the mothership while Yaoyao stayed in the Shadow Plane to watch the Snow Elf grow stronger and gather resources.
• Over several years, Leo’s forces cleared the puppets from Thousand Pools World and began restoring its ecosystem.
• War Command ordered Leo to destroy Forest Farm World and assigned Golden Eye Piercing Illusions Stigmata Wizard to accompany him.
• Leo told his clone Black Soluo to lure the Supreme Lord of Returning Breath World into killing both Golden Eye Piercing Illusions and Leo, creating cover for the wizard’s death.
• Yaoyao reported that the Snow Elf had advanced to level three and amassed resources worth over a million energy crystals.
• After delaying for half a year, Leo left Interstellar Wanderer in charge of Thousand Pools World and agreed to depart with Golden Eye Piercing Illusions.

Leo confronted Golden Eye Piercing Illusions outside Forest Farm World and learned that he coveted the power of Elemental Body Tempering Stigmata Wizards and had targeted others for experiments. After revealing himself as an avatar of Supreme Lord Eye of Destruction, Golden Eye Piercing Illusions trapped Leo with the Power of Laws and froze him with his third eye.

• Leo asked Golden Eye Piercing Illusions why he was obsessed with him, and Golden Eye Piercing Illusions praised his ability to defeat opponents of higher levels.
• Leo realized Golden Eye Piercing Illusions wanted to study his Elemental Body Tempering power and suspected that he and others had murdered the other wizards of that profession.
• Golden Eye Piercing Illusions admitted that experimenting on Elemental Body Refinement Wizards was an honor and revealed that he was an avatar of Supreme Lord Eye of Destruction.
• Golden Eye Piercing Illusions's power surged beyond level five as Leo transformed into a six-hundred-meter Vajra Giant and swung the Godslaying Staff at him.
• Golden Eye Piercing Illusions used the Power of Laws to constrain Leo's movement, then struck him with the beam from his vertical eye, leaving Leo and Yaoyao immobilized.

Golden Eye Piercing Illusions used the Eye of Destruction to restrain Leo, but Leo broke free with the Black Metal Module and destroyed his opponent’s avatars. They entered the Forest Farm World to fight, leaving the world and its trapped forces facing destruction.

• Golden Eye Piercing Illusions revealed that the vertical pupil was an avatar of the universe-grade Eye of Destruction and restrained Leo while advancing to Level Six.
• Leo attacked Golden Eye Piercing Illusions with the Soul Splitting Technique, but the wizard resisted because he already knew the technique.
• Golden Eye Piercing Illusions struck Leo with a giant hammer, but the Black Metal Module blocked the blow and revealed itself as a universe-grade treasure.
• Golden Eye Piercing Illusions summoned a hundred thousand avatars to attack Leo, but Leo broke free, transformed the module into blades, and destroyed them all.
• Leo and Golden Eye Piercing Illusions agreed to fight inside the Forest Farm World, and their entry shook the world and began its destruction.
• The War Command’s spatial seal trapped the World Lords, wizard troops, Lords of Souls, and other forces still inside the doomed world.

Leo fought Golden Eye Piercing Illusions Stigmata Wizard across the dying Forest Farm World and discovered that his opponent was an expendable energy avatar. Leo used Metal Fusion Great Witchcraft to expose Golden Eye Piercing Illusions’s main body, then killed the level-five Grand Duke Tangyala who was summoned to stop him.

• Leo learned that Golden Eye Piercing Illusions was an energy avatar that could not share memories with the Supreme Lord and could create countless other avatars.
• Leo and Golden Eye Piercing Illusions remained locked in a stalemate as their attacks destroyed Forest Farm World and killed its remaining inhabitants.
• Leo used Metal Fusion Great Witchcraft to fuse airborne metal dust, destroying the avatars and forcing Golden Eye Piercing Illusions’s main body into view.
• Golden Eye Piercing Illusions summoned Grand Duke Tangyala, but Leo killed him before he could resist or beg for mercy.
• Leo pursued and mocked the fleeing Golden Eye Piercing Illusions, asking why he could only run after threatening to capture him for experiments.

Leo was immobilized by Golden Eye Piercing Illusions’ Eye of Destruction and faced being sealed, but a concealed attack and Black Soluo’s intervention killed the wizard. Black Soluo sent Leo’s suspended body into the Shadow Plane and escaped as a Supreme Lord’s strike destroyed the Forest Farm World.

• Golden Eye Piercing Illusions used the Eye of Destruction to immobilize Leo and began sealing him inside his wizard’s book.
• Leo’s unfinished Metal Fusion Great Witchcraft erupted from the gathered metal dust, interrupting Golden Eye Piercing Illusions’ spell.
• Black Soluo appeared and survived Golden Eye Piercing Illusions’ attacks before crushing him with the Black Metal Module.
• Black Soluo sent Leo’s still-suspended body into the Shadow Plane and teleported away as a Supreme Lord’s pillar of light struck the Forest Farm World.
• The Forest Farm World collapsed into drifting meteorites, destroying the small world and its countless lives.

Leo returned safely to Thousand Pools World after five years, while War Command confirmed that Golden Eye Piercing Illusions Stigmata Wizard had died in Forest Farm World. As Leo kept restoring Thousand Pools World's ecology, Snow Elf Atiya asked him for help against a planned ambush, and Leo offered several forms of aid in exchange for sufficient resources.

• Interstellar Wanderer worried that a Supreme Lord from Returning Breath World had killed Golden Eye Piercing Illusions and possibly captured Leo, until Leo returned safely to the mothership.
• Leo told War Command that he and Golden Eye Piercing Illusions had fled separately during the Supreme Lord's attack, and War Command confirmed Golden Eye Piercing Illusions's death and awarded Leo five hundred merit points for destroying Forest Farm World.
• Leo recalled that Eye of Destruction's attack had left him trapped in stasis for five years and realized that he had incurred the Supreme Lord's enmity by killing Golden Eye Piercing Illusions and learning about the experiments on Elemental Body Refinement Wizards.
• Leo remained unchallenged and focused on restoring Thousand Pools World's ecology while the other War Worlds continued fighting.
• Tortai told Leo that Snow Elf Atiya needed substantial help, and Atiya explained that his clan chief had sent him against an army more than twenty times his size while arranging an ambush with Black Domain World.
• Atiya asked Leo for strength, an invincible army, and help killing his clan chief; Leo said he could provide all three if Atiya had enough resources to pay for them.

Snow Elf Atiya traded resources to Leo for a loyal Gulu Beast army, which crushed the Black Domain World’s forces and reclaimed territory. Afterward, Leo learned that the wizard civilization had occupied all 61 war worlds and was preparing to campaign against the Returning Breath World.

• Atiya gave Leo more than thirty chests of valuable resources in exchange for an army of one thousand level-three, ten thousand level-two, and one hundred thousand level-one warriors.
• Leo arranged for Yaoyao to prepare the Gulu Beasts, and three days later the army arrived in the Snowfield World through a spatial formation.
• Atiya led the Gulu Beasts and part of the Snow Elf army to the front lines, where Leo identified the Black Domain World’s creatures as descendants of a world infected by Purgatory’s aura.
• The Gulu Beasts and intelligent mechs killed over three million lesser demons in one battle and pushed the front line forward by more than a hundred kilometers, while suffering negligible losses.
• Atiya thanked Leo and resolved to build his forces, while Leo expected him to trade more resources for troops.
• Leo received a Fate Wizard Book message announcing the occupation of all 61 war worlds and preparations for a campaign against the Returning Breath World.

After the war against the two great World Clusters ended, the Wizard World prepared to invade Returning Breath World across 1,024 worlds, offering wizards a share of conquered worlds’ proceeds. Leo planned to use his exclusive conquest allowance and Black Soluo’s intelligence to claim valuable worlds, but learned that the supposedly undefended worlds were traps and that stronger enemies now considered him a threat.

• War Command announced that conquerors could keep 30% of a world’s proceeds, with the rest distributed according to military contributions, stirring Stigmata Wizards to demand an end to the century-long rotation.
• Leo planned to conquer four additional worlds within eighty years and asked Black Soluo to identify valuable targets with weak defenses.
• Black Soluo reported that Returning Breath World had abandoned 521 worlds but warned that they contained powerful traps, then sent Leo intelligence on safer targets.
• Black Soluo warned Leo that his reputation had spread among the Lords of Souls, who now regarded him as equal to a Level-Six Stigmata Great Wizard and would likely send powerful opponents against him.
• War Command issued a less detailed star chart marking target worlds as defended or undefended, but gave no expedition orders.

Leo secured an expedition to the Purple Lightning World and raced there to claim further territory, leaving Blue Dragon Heluoluo to protect the Thousand Pools World. After arriving, Leo confronted the world’s Lords of Souls and attacked them.

• Leo submitted four medium-sized worlds for expeditions, while Interstellar Wanderer and Sword Bearer Stigmata Wizard also applied for targets.
• Leo asked Blue Dragon Heluoluo to remain in the Thousand Pools World and defend it, and Heluoluo agreed.
• War headquarters approved Leo’s expedition to the Purple Lightning World and made access to a second world depend on who conquered their first target fastest.
• Leo departed aboard a mothership and spent five years traveling to the Purple Lightning World, whose defenses included two Level-Five and twenty Level-Four Lords of Souls.
• Leo revealed himself outside the world barrier, causing the Lords of Souls to panic and flee when they recognized him.
• Leo passed through the barrier beside the fleeing Lords of Souls and raised his palm to unleash an attack.

Leo killed all twenty-two Lords of Souls in Purple Lightning World before the wizard army entered, then destroyed half of the puppet army with Great Thunder Descent Sorcery. He asked War Command to send down the wizard will, and its arrival began cleansing the world of Returning Breath World’s influence.

• Leo killed ten Lords of Souls with Tritium-Deuterium Fusion Great Witchcraft, then hunted down the fleeing Lords while his domain restrained the last four.
• Leo killed the final four Lords of Souls, leaving all twenty-two dead, and opened a fissure in the world barrier for the mothership to enter.
• Leo used Great Thunder Descent Sorcery to destroy half of the puppet army, then ordered the wizard army to eliminate the rest within five years.
• After checking that no Lords of Souls remained, Leo went to the world's center and requested that War Command send down the wizard will.
• The wizard will descended onto Leo's magic formation, restored his suppressed power, and began cleansing Purple Lightning World of Returning Breath World’s influence.

Leo completed the conquest of Purple Lightning World and secured Green Shade World as his next target. After handing Purple Lightning World over to an incoming occupation force, he arrived at Green Shade World and prepared to attack, while Yaoyao learned that the wider campaign left little chance of claiming a third world.

• Leo witnessed the Wizard Will overwhelm Returning Breath World's resistance and fully occupy Purple Lightning World after the last puppet died.
• Leo requested an occupation force for Purple Lightning World and received approval to conquer Green Shade World.
• Leo considered the unexplained trap hidden across more than five hundred abandoned worlds, but Black Soluo could provide no details.
• Leo ordered a survey of Purple Lightning World's resources before a mothership carrying World Lords arrived to take control five years later.
• Leo reached Green Shade World with Yaoyao and reviewed intelligence reporting one Level-Five Lord of Souls, twenty-seven Level-Four Lords, and five hundred million puppets.
• Leo told Yaoyao that more than twelve hundred Stigmata Wizards had launched expeditions, making a third world unlikely.

Leo led the Wizard World’s assault on the Green Shade World, killed four Lords of Souls, and hunted the rest while protecting his army. After he captured and tormented fifteen more Lords of Souls, the remaining enemies stayed hidden.

• Leo wondered whether the Wizard World knew about the traps in undefended worlds, then attacked the Green Shade World’s barrier to draw out its Lords of Souls.
• Four level-four Lords of Souls fled when Leo entered the world, but he killed them with nuclear explosions that also destroyed the surrounding puppet army.
• Leo brought in the mothership and his forces, then searched separately from Yaoyao for the Green Shade World’s remaining Lords of Souls.
• Leo spotted hidden Lords of Souls but concealed that he could see through their disguises, instead unleashing lightning across the battlefield.
• Fifteen Lords of Souls ambushed Leo, and he immobilized and tortured them with lightning before burning them to ashes; the remaining Lords of Souls stayed hidden.

Leo and Yaoyao fought to capture Green Shade World while searching for its missing Level-Five Lord of Souls. After Black Soluo revealed that Returning Breath World planned to detonate the World Wills of 521 worlds, Leo began urgently evacuating his forces, but the mothership could not return in time.

• Leo killed eight Level-Four Lords of Souls attacking the mothership and ordered the wizard army to draw the puppet army close while he defended the ship.
• After the puppet army was wiped out and two years of searching revealed no trace of the Level-Five Lord of Souls, Black Soluo told Leo that the Lord had left Green Shade World on a secret mission.
• Black Soluo revealed that Returning Breath World planned to sacrifice Lords of Souls to detonate the World Wills of 521 worlds and trap the wizard armies while its hidden forces and Supreme Lord attacked.
• Leo rejected returning the mothership because War Command would not approve it and the journey would take at least eight years.
• Leo decided to contact Blue Dragon Heluoluo to open a spatial passage and ordered the wizards and slaves to return using teleportation arrays and starships.

Leo rushed to evacuate his forces from Green Shade World through a spatial passage to Thousand Pools World, but Returning Breath World's will began changing spatial laws to trap them. He used his Earth Giant form and the Godslaying Staff to hold the passage open as the evacuation continued.

• Leo contacted Blue Dragon Heluoluo and arranged for a spatial passage between Green Shade World and Thousand Pools World.
• Leo and Blue Dragon Heluoluo opened the passage, and Yaoyao hurried the wizard army and slave forces toward it.
• Black Soluo warned Leo that a Supreme Lord had altered Returning Breath World's will to seal spatial travel across affected worlds.
• The passage warped, spawned lethal spatial rifts, and began draining its energy pool before most of the forces could escape.
• Leo transformed into a three-hundred-meter Earth Giant and stabilized the passage, while Yaoyao urged the wizards to keep moving.
• Leo reinforced the passage with the Godslaying Staff as the World Will's attacks wounded him and the evacuation continued.

Leo escaped Green Shade World with most of his forces after the world’s rules changed and spatial teleportation became impossible. War Command ordered the scattered armies to continue conquering, but Returning Breath World began destroying worlds, leaving Leo waiting in hiding as the first catastrophic report arrived.

• Leo tore apart the spatial passage after teleporting most of his forces to Thousand Pools World, then accepted that he and the remaining army could no longer leave Green Shade World.
• Leo reported the rule changes to War Command and learned that Stigmata Wizards across many worlds faced the same disruption, while some found Lords of Souls in supposedly undefended worlds.
• War Command ordered the armies to continue their conquest missions, but Leo evacuated the remaining wizard forces from Green Shade World and hid the mothership in an asteroid belt.
• Furious Lion Stigmata Wizard reported that a Lord of Souls had sacrificed a World Will, destroying the world, the mothership, and the wizard army; Furious Lion Stigmata Wizard escaped aboard a warship and requested rescue.

The Returning Breath World destroyed over a hundred undefended worlds and killed hundreds of Stigmata Wizards, while surviving wizards were hunted down by Lords of Souls. Leo suspected a high-ranking spy had exposed their locations and strengths, so he ordered his mothership to hide and travel to Thousand Pools World by conventional propulsion.

• Over a hundred Stigmata Wizards sent distress messages after the World Wills detonated, and the War Command arranged rescue efforts.
• The surviving Stigmata Wizards reported that Lords of Souls more than four times their strength had found them, then fell silent.
• Leo noticed the Lords of Souls had attacked the survivors almost simultaneously and concluded that a high-ranking Wizard World spy had leaked their locations and strengths.
• Leo ordered the mothership camouflaged, cut off communications, and set a course for Thousand Pools World using conventional propulsion.
• Leo brought Yaoyao to the energy pool and arranged nuclear fusion generators around it in the pattern of a magic formation.

Leo fueled the mothership’s energy pool with fusion reactions from his own body while fleeing through space, then learned that Returning Breath World had trapped wizard forces across many worlds and sent hidden, powerful beings after Green Shade World. He rejected War Command’s compromised escape routes, but Lords of Souls soon located his mothership anyway.

• Leo used the Godslaying Staff to channel his own fusion energy into the mothership’s energy pool, shortening the journey to Thousand Pools World.
• Leo saw more than thirty Stigmata Wizards plead for aid and received a final image of over ten unusually intact Lords of Souls appearing outside Green Shade World.
• War Command ordered all Stigmata Wizards and their armies to withdraw along routes it would provide in stages, but Leo chose to follow his own route instead.
• Black Soluo warned Leo that War Command’s routes matched Returning Breath World’s ambush routes and said the enemy intended to kill twelve hundred Stigmata Wizards.
• Black Soluo revealed that even most Lords of Souls knew nothing about Returning Breath World’s hidden force or its military successes.
• Yaoyao warned Leo that a large group of Lords of Souls had appeared behind the mothership and locked onto its exact location.
