Chapter Summaries

The Atomic Control Academy issued a war mobilization order, directing most of its level-one-and-above wizards to prepare for an expedition departing in ten years. Leo learned that Little Bookworm No. 003 could fully restore souls, giving him hope of resurrecting Alice if Black Soluo found her soul origin.

• Lesser wizards at the Atomic Control Academy eagerly sought to join the war, but an instructor warned them about its brutality and said the academy would not participate.
• A war mobilization order appeared above the academy, and Vice Dean Shi Xiang announced that eligible wizards would depart on an expedition in ten years.
• Yaoyao told Leo that the order had been passed to Shi Xiang, while Black Soluo returned with Little Bookworm No. 003 after spending nearly three hundred years recovering him.
• Little Bookworm No. 003 told Leo that he could restore a soul completely if even a fragment of its origin remained and he had enough energy.
• Leo realized Little Bookworm No. 003 might enable Alice's resurrection, provided Black Soluo reached the Returning Breath World's Land of Origin and found her soul origin.

Leo finalized a plan with Black Soluo and Baturu to exploit the coming war between Wizard World and Myriad Beasts World, while he led an expedition to retrieve Little Bookworm No. 004. He reassured Wizard World’s powerful figures that he would not compete for the Supreme Lord advancement slot, leaving them uncertain about his true expedition target.

• Black Soluo agreed to handle the ten Supreme Lords from Returning Breath World, and Baturu gave him the Endless Pot, while Leo set their operation to begin in ten years.
• Baturu pledged to complete the World Tree’s energy assimilation, and Black Soluo planned to persuade Returning Breath World’s Supreme Lords to help.
• Leo received inquiries from Undying Body, who worried that Leo’s mobilization order meant he would compete for the Supreme Lord advancement slot.
• Leo told Undying Body that he would not join the war against Myriad Beasts World and was instead preparing an expedition to a valuable world.
• Leo repeated his explanation to Sword of Winter, Qi and Blood Frenzy, and Mountain Range Guardian Garijivich until the attention on his demiplane faded.

Leo left the Wizard World with his forces, expecting the Tower of Elements to pursue him while he traveled to retrieve Little Bookworm No. 004. Black Soluo reported that five Returning Breath World Supreme Lords had agreed to help him, and the chapter ended with the revelation that they had once hoped to nurture him before their world surrendered.

• Leo deliberately publicized his ten-year expedition, prompting the Tower of Elements to stay in the Wizard World while Wisdom Halo took his place in the war against the Myriad Beasts World.
• Ten years later, Leo and Yaoyao relocated the academy's wizards, Gulu Beasts, and other forces aboard a mothership, then left the Wizard World without the Tower of Elements pursuing them.
• Yaoyao confirmed that their destination was the ordinary world where Little Bookworm No. 004 was located, and Leo monitored the Fate Wizard Book for signs of pursuit.
• Black Soluo told Leo that five Returning Breath World Supreme Lords had agreed to help him, while five others would not assist the Wizard World.
• Black Soluo contacted the imprisoned Supreme Lords through the Lord of Souls' secret art, astonishing them with his arrival and advancement to level six.

Leo learned that Black Soluo had recovered the Returning Breath World’s Endless Pot and secured the support of its Supreme Lords for his advance, using the Book of Souls to ease their fears of death. As Leo’s plan gained momentum, the Tower of Elements and the Eye of Destruction left the Wizard World for unknown destinations.

• Black Soluo revealed the Endless Pot to the Returning Breath World’s Supreme Lords and asked whether recovering it qualified him to advance to Supreme Lord.
• Black Soluo showed them the Book of Souls and Little Bookworm No. 003, whose power could restore souls from a fragment of soul origin.
• Five Supreme Lords promised to help Black Soluo hold off the Wizard World, while the others hoped for his success.
• Leo and Yaoyao concluded that Black Soluo’s advancement was assured and that their remaining opposition had fallen to no more than five Supreme Lords’ worth of combat power.
• The Fate Wizard Book reported that the Tower of Elements and the Eye of Destruction had both left the Wizard World for unknown destinations.

Leo's mothership arrived at Eagle Cry Great World, whose rulers had gained power through Little Bookworm No. 004's ability to replicate living bodies and food. As Eagle Cry forces gathered to repel the invasion, Leo prepared to face the landing with a small wizard army while remaining wary of two hidden Supreme Lords following him.

• Eagle Cry Clan members celebrated the thousandth birthday of the 107th Eagle Cry Great Emperor until they mistook the mothership's arrival for a fiery sun and mobilized to defend their world.
• Yaoyao explained that Little Bookworm No. 004 could restore dead lifeforms, and that combining his power with Little Bookworm No. 003's soul-restoration ability could resurrect individuals.
• Leo learned that the Eagle Cry Clan had used No. 004 as a source of endless food and later sealed him away, then distributed the gathered intelligence to the lesser wizards.
• Leo and Yaoyao discussed the Tower of Elements and the Eye of Destruction, who had followed Leo for twenty years without revealing themselves.
• Leo went outside the mothership and saw Eagle Cry Great World's assembled troops beyond the world barrier.
• Hu Jianxing asked Leo how to conduct the landing battle, noting that the expedition had only two million wizards, most of them inexperienced Level One Lesser Wizards.

Leo tore open Eagle Cry Great World's barrier and devastated its assembled army through his power alone, allowing the expeditionary forces to land and begin their conquest. He then began a vast witchcraft that changed the world's energy circulation, while refusing to expose the Shadow Plane because unknown watchers might be observing them.

• Leo used Tritium-Deuterium Fusion Great Witchcraft to rip open Eagle Cry Great World's barrier and kill most of the army gathered outside it.
• Leo entered the world, and the energy pressure and shock wave from his arrival wiped out the remaining airborne forces as the four World Lords fled.
• Yaoyao directed the wizard, slave, and starship forces to land and begin the expedition while Leo watched for threats to them.
• Yaoyao suggested releasing World Lords from the Shadow Plane, but Leo refused because he did not know where two pairs of eyes were watching them from.
• Leo anchored his mana across Eagle Cry Great World and began altering its energy circulation, creating black clouds and silver lightning that covered the sky for a year.

Leo used the Eagle Cry World’s energy to spread black clouds and unleash devastating lightning against its resistance forces, then began capturing the world’s hidden World Lords. After seizing three giant eagles, he confronted the final Level-Six World Lord as the two Supreme Lords from the Tower of Elements still remained in hiding.

• Yaoyao reported the location of a resistance army, and Leo’s lightning spell annihilated over 1.25 million Eagle Cry troops.
• Leo’s spell spread beneath the black clouds, destroying reported concentrations while wizard squads pursued the remaining resistance.
• Leo left the landing site to draw out the hidden Supreme Lords and captured a Level-Four giant eagle World Lord, sealing him in the Shadow Plane for Yaoyao to eat.
• Leo traveled across the world and captured a second giant eagle World Lord using the same sealing method.
• Leo confronted the final Level-Six giant eagle World Lord, who demanded to know who Leo was while hiding his fear.

Leo defeated the Level-Six World Lord of Eagle Cry World and took the green book hidden inside him, but the Tower of Elements and the Eye of Destruction intervened to claim it. After Leo revealed the book’s Little Bookworm No. 004, the Tower of Elements recognized him as one of several Little Bookworms and confronted him about it.

• Leo seized the Level-Six World Lord’s gathered energy, tore his body apart, and retrieved the green book hidden within him.
• The Level-Six World Lord launched a final attack, but Leo destroyed it and reached for the book as space froze around them.
• Leo pierced the frozen space and grabbed the book, then used black metal to repel three hands reaching through spatial rifts.
• The Tower of Elements called Leo out, and Leo left Yaoyao in Eagle Cry World before emerging into the universe to face the Tower of Elements and the Eye of Destruction.
• Leo brought out the green book, and Little Bookworm No. 004 greeted him with trust and affection.
• The Tower of Elements demanded to know how many Little Bookworms Leo had, and Leo admitted that he had several.

The Tower of Elements deduced that Leo possessed at least five cosmic-grade treasures, and he and the Eye of Destruction decided to seize them despite the wizard rules. Their ambush forced Leo to activate his Starry Sky Giant Bloodline, and the Tower of Elements realized his combat strength had risen dramatically in just two hundred years.

• The Tower of Elements analyzed Leo's collection of cosmic-grade treasures and concluded that he had at least five, while the Eye of Destruction grew eager to take them.
• The Tower of Elements and the Eye of Destruction dismissed the wizard rules against killing wizards and prepared to capture Leo and claim his secrets.
• Leo warned that he would kill them first, then activated the Endless Pot, whose soul pressure weakened both Supreme Lords.
• The Eye of Destruction attacked Leo from behind while the Tower of Elements restrained him with spells, but the Black Metal Module blocked most of the blow.
• Leo activated his Stigmata True Body and Starry Sky Giant Bloodline, then fought the Eye of Destruction in a stalemate.
• The Tower of Elements and the Eye of Destruction sensed that Leo's combat power had increased by 15%-20% since their previous battle and wondered what had let him surpass his former limit.

Tower of Elements and Eye of Destruction attacked Eagle Cry World, forcing Leo to fuse part of it into a star before Tower of Elements used his seven-story wizard tower to absorb the star and draw Leo inside. As Leo neared capture, Tower of Elements felt that something was wrong but could not identify what he had missed.

• Baturu's advance to Supreme Lord strengthened the starry giant, but Eye of Destruction and Tower of Elements suppressed him with attacks and witchcraft.
• Tower of Elements and Eye of Destruction bombarded Eagle Cry World, intending to kill everyone there and erase evidence of Leo's death.
• Leo fused a quarter of Eagle Cry World into a star, but the rest of the world was destroyed by the two Supreme Lords' assault.
• Tower of Elements enlarged his seven-story wizard tower and used its suction to absorb the star's energy and the remaining fragments of the plane.
• The tower's suction pulled the starry giant toward its entrance, and Tower of Elements and Eye of Destruction relaxed as Leo approached capture.
• Tower of Elements remained uneasy, sensing that he had overlooked something.

Leo revealed the fused, complete Hundred-Page World and used its laws to suppress the Tower of Elements and the Eye of Destruction. Though the two Supreme Lords tried to outlast his magic power, Leo fought back with the Hundred-Page World and the Endless Pot while facing both of them alone.

• The Tower of Elements recognized the complete Hundred-Page World after Leo fused it with the Dragon World's version, and the Eye of Destruction became covetous of its power.
• The two-colored Little Bookworm emerged from the Hundred-Page World and greeted Leo, who explained that he would demonstrate the treasure's abilities.
• Leo activated the Hundred-Page World, whose hundred complete worlds suppressed the Tower of Elements and the Eye of Destruction across a vast area.
• The Tower of Elements guessed that Leo could not sustain the treasure for long, so he and the Eye of Destruction planned to stall until Leo's magic power ran out.
• Leo reinforced the Hundred-Page World's suppression with the Endless Pot and attacked the Eye of Destruction, while the Tower of Elements prepared spells to strike him.

Leo’s hidden Supreme Lord-level clone Baturu ambushed and killed the Tower of Elements, revealing that Leo could replicate cosmic-grade treasures. The Eye of Destruction tried to escape and carry the warning to the Wizard World, but Leo attacked it with another cosmic-grade weapon.

• As the Tower of Elements prepared a spell, Baturu attacked from behind with the Sword of Winter and inflicted a grievous wound.
• The Tower of Elements tried to summon his wizard tower for protection, but a black mountain blocked it, and Baturu beheaded him.
• The Tower of Elements realized Leo could replicate cosmic-grade treasures and urged the Eye of Destruction to flee before Baturu destroyed him.
• Baturu seized the Tower of Elements’ head, and the dying Supreme Lord deduced that Baturu was Leo’s soul clone before Baturu shattered his head.
• The Eye of Destruction attempted to escape the starry sky giant and Leo, but Leo drew a black broken saber and struck at him.

Leo and Baturu overwhelmed the Eye of Destruction with universe-grade treasures and coordinated attacks, while Leo revealed that the Hundred-Page World supplied the energy for his arsenal. The Eye of Destruction lost his hope of outlasting Leo and remained trapped under their assault.

• The Eye of Destruction dodged Leo’s attacks with the broken blade while watching Baturu, whom he recognized as the murderer of the Lord of Life and a Supreme Lord avatar of Atomic Control.
• Baturu continued extracting the Tower of Elements’ soul fragments and placing them in Little Bookworm No. 003 as the Eye of Destruction realized Leo possessed many duplicated universe-grade treasures.
• Leo shredded the Eye of Destruction’s arm with blade energy, and the Eye of Destruction regenerated while wondering why Leo’s energy showed no signs of running out.
• Leo revealed that the Hundred-Page World supplied energy for his other treasures, disproving the Eye of Destruction’s plan to wait until Leo was exhausted.
• Baturu restrained the Tower of Elements with the seven-story wizard tower and attacked the Eye of Destruction with fist wind, letting Leo’s blade and sword energy tear through the Eye’s body.

Leo and Baturu overwhelmed the Eye of Destruction, with Little Bookworm No. 003 helping expose and consume his soul so they could destroy him. Afterward, Leo claimed the Eye of Destruction treasure, while Little Bookworm No. 004 absorbed the corpse and gathered the Tower of Elements’ remaining life energy.

• Leo and Baturu relentlessly attacked the Eye of Destruction, but his body-tempering vitality let him rapidly regenerate despite the damage.
• Little Bookworm No. 003 joined with the Endless Pot to intensify its soul pressure, allowing Leo to pull the Eye of Destruction’s soul out of his body.
• Baturu erased the Eye of Destruction’s body, and Little Bookworm No. 003 swallowed his soul; Leo then took the universe-grade treasure from his forehead and gave it to Baturu.
• Little Bookworm No. 004 asked for the remaining body, then swallowed it whole and traveled to the Tower of Elements’ death site to absorb its residual blood energy.
• Little Bookworm No. 004’s ability to restore life-forms from their life information meant he could bring back the Tower of Elements if Leo needed him to.

After killing the Tower of Elements and the Eye of Destruction, Leo accepted that he could no longer safely return to the Wizard World and began preparing to strengthen his forces elsewhere. He settled in a demiplane outside the Barbarian World while Baturu went to support Black Soluo’s operation against the Returning Breath World.

• Baturu recovered the Hundred-Page World, and the Little Bookworms reunited after Little Bookworm No. 004 absorbed the Tower of Elements’ red blood energy.
• Leo told Baturu that his forces had already left the Wizard World and that they would focus on growing stronger and building their forces.
• Yaoyao reported that she had taken the young wizards to New Earth, sent the Gulu Beasts into the Shadow Plane, and dismantled the mothership’s backdoor so the Wizard World could not track them.
• Baturu told Leo that he had built a demiplane outside the Barbarian World, then Leo sent him to help Black Soluo at the Returning Breath World’s origin grounds.
• Leo arrived at the demiplane, where Little Bookworm No. 001 welcomed him, and Leo reflected on the Little Bookworms’ mission.

Returning Breath World’s Lords of Souls faced the gradual destruction of their civilization as Wizard World imposed its wizard system and kept them under surveillance. Sword Bearer and his colleagues investigated energy tides that had intensified across the world, but they found no cause and continued monitoring.

• Wizard World spread its wizard rules across Returning Breath World, and no new Lords of Souls appeared as existing ones died.
• The Lords of Souls failed to win Wizard World’s trust by fighting alongside its wizards against Crystal Giant World, and they were returned to monitored territories.
• Sword Bearer reviewed records showing that energy tide fluctuations had risen by more than 200% year over year across Returning Breath World.
• Sword Bearer and his colleagues ruled out the Supreme Lords, the Lords of Souls, and observable changes within the world, but could not explain the abnormal tides.
• Sword Bearer told a level four stigmata wizard to check the available information again while Wizard World fought Myriad Beasts World.
• After the call ended, Sword Bearer sighed and reflected that the absent level-six wizard had left him, a body refinement wizard, responsible for investigating the energy data.

Sword Bearer and the other Stigmata Wizards watched Returning Breath World’s energy tide fluctuations spiral into a catastrophe, cutting off contact and killing countless lives. They eventually concluded that a Lord of Souls was advancing to Supreme Lord and suspected the missing Black Soluo, but could only record events and wait for help.

• Sword Bearer dismissed the early energy fluctuations after Wizard World stopped prioritizing Returning Breath World.
• A year later, the fluctuations surged past 1,000%, unleashing disasters and destabilizing the world’s energy and space.
• Sword Bearer ordered the Lords of Souls to stay put, tried to contact Wizard World, and sent emergency motherships, but the spatial passages closed.
• As the fluctuations passed 20,000% and lower-level life perished, the Stigmata Wizards realized a Lord of Souls was advancing to Supreme Lord.
• The Stigmata Wizards found Black Soluo on the missing persons list and suspected him, while Sword Bearer ordered them to keep recording the information.

A Lord of Souls completed his advancement to Supreme Lord, and the Returning Breath World celebrated until its World Will sensed that he meant to destroy the world. Sword Bearer ordered half the Stigmata Wizards to seek help from the Wizard World while he led the rest to join the Lords of Souls in stopping the new Supreme Lord.

• The energy tides intensified as the Returning Breath World drew in energy, and its academies raised protective barriers while Stigmata Wizards observed the advancement.
• Sword Bearer prepared to meet the newly advanced Supreme Lord, and he ordered the motherships already sent toward the Wizard World to continue their mission.
• The energy tides subsided, and the Returning Breath World Will celebrated the birth of a Supreme Lord.
• The World Will began trembling in terror and ordered the Lords of Souls to kill the Supreme Lord in the Land of Origin.
• Sword Bearer learned that the Supreme Lord planned to destroy the world, so he split the Stigmata Wizards between contacting the Wizard World and joining the Lords of Souls to attack.

The Sword Bearer and forty Stigmata Wizards entered the Returning Breath World’s origin land to help stop the newly advanced Supreme Lord, Black Soluo, from destroying the world. They witnessed his overwhelming power and learned he had once been a level-five Lord of Souls before Mosuoli confronted him.

• The Returning Breath World’s World Will pleaded with the Sword Bearer and the Stigmata Wizards to kill the Supreme Lord, so they entered the origin land alongside thousands of Lords of Souls.
• The Sword Bearer led the Stigmata Wizards toward the battlefield, hoping the Lords of Souls would weaken their opponent first.
• Black Soluo’s immense pressure killed level-four Lords of Souls before they could approach, while a glance destroyed a level-five Lord of Souls and erased its soul.
• A level-four Stigmata Wizard urged the Sword Bearer to retreat because Black Soluo’s attacks were impossible to understand or withstand.
• Mosuoli appeared and challenged Black Soluo, whose taunts revealed that he had once been the Returning Breath World’s most gifted level-five Lord of Souls.

Black Soluo revealed that he intended to destroy Returning Breath World and steal its origin energy, while Sword Bearer and the Stigmata Wizards searched for a way out of the Land of Origin. Black Soluo then used the Endless Pot to extract the souls of the gathered Lords of Souls and the hidden Stigmata Wizards, leaving their bodies behind.

• Black Soluo rejected the Lords of Souls’ appeal and declared that he would destroy Returning Breath World to absorb its living souls and increase his strength.
• Black Soluo unleashed his Supreme Lord aura, killing dozens of nearby Level-Four beings and forcing the surviving Lords of Souls to retreat.
• Sword Bearer led the Stigmata Wizards into hiding, but they could not find a way to escape the Land of Origin.
• Sword Bearer noticed that Black Soluo was secretly drawing the stars and rivers of origin energy into himself while the Lords of Souls kept him occupied.
• Black Soluo summoned the Endless Pot and used its soul radiation to draw the souls from thousands of Lords of Souls and all forty Stigmata Wizards, including Sword Bearer.
