Chapter Summaries

The Wizard World crushed the Myriad Beasts World’s resistance and forced the Purgatory Demon World to surrender its remaining troops and resources. With both civilizations drained, Leo chose to follow his original plan, accelerate the war, and lead an army toward the Wizard World to gauge the Guardian Wizards’ strength.

• The Myriad Beasts World declared war on the Wizard World and stopped supplying troops, so the Wizard World sent the Cosmic Wanderer and other Supreme Lords to punish it.
• Ten Supreme Lords invaded the Myriad Beasts World, killed four Supreme Lords, seized the black mountain, and forced the survivors to surrender their remaining military forces.
• The Purgatory Demon World submitted its last Demon Lords and resources, but the Wizard World refused to release its three imprisoned Supreme Lords.
• Baturu suggested resurrecting Hanubi and the other Myriad Beasts World Supreme Lords, but Leo rejected the idea and chose to resurrect their own World Lords instead.
• Leo decided to follow the original war plan, hasten the fighting, and send an army toward the Wizard World within thirty years to learn the Guardian Wizards’ true strength.

Leo launched the final invasion of the Wizard World, using secret teleportation arrays and the Hundred-Page World to send nearly thirty thousand World Lords and their armies into battle. The Wizard World’s sixteen Supreme Lords gathered outside its barrier and confronted Black Soluo and Baturu, demanding that Leo appear.

• Leo delayed the assault until the World Lords had resurrected, then ordered the forces to attack the Wizard World without using the Shadow Plane.
• For over two hundred years, Leo had controlled low-level wizards and used them to establish teleportation arrays across the Wizard World.
• Leo gave the command to begin, and troops poured through arrays in more than five thousand War Worlds, spreading across the Wizard World.
• Black Soluo and Baturu broke open the Wizard World’s barrier, and the Hundred-Page World released 28,975 World Lords and more than a trillion troops.
• The Hundred-Page World suppressed the Supreme Lords as all sixteen of the Wizard World’s Supreme Lords appeared and focused on Leo.
• Baturu asked the Bloodline Controller what made the Supreme Lords certain they could defeat them.

Black Soluo and Baturu tried to break out of the Wizard Supreme Lords’ encirclement, but the wizards’ coordinated attacks trapped them despite their many universe-grade treasures. After Sword of Winter wounded Black Soluo with an ambush, the pair abandoned their escape attempt and turned to fighting back.

• Black Soluo and Baturu rejected the Bloodline Controller’s demand to bring out their main body and charged toward the Undying Body to escape.
• The pair used six universe-grade treasures to suppress the sixteen Supreme Lords, but the Cosmic Wanderer blocked their route with a black mountain and the wizards attacked from all sides.
• Black Soluo and Baturu used a second black mountain, shields, and their weapons to withstand the barrage, but their nine treasures could not break the encirclement.
• Sword of Winter struck Black Soluo with a surprise attack, leaving a massive wound as the wizards’ coordinated spells stopped the pair from advancing.
• The Bloodline Controller attacked, and Black Soluo and Baturu abandoned their hope of escape and pursued Sword of Winter to try to kill one of their enemies.

Black Soluo detonated beside the Wizard World, but figures of the Wizard Will blocked the blast and the Sword of Winter survived. The Bloodline Controller revealed Alice's soul to Baturu and threatened to destroy it unless Leo appeared, leaving Alice's fate in Leo's hands.

• Black Soluo charged the immobilized Sword of Winter and detonated, while the Elemental Controller raised a hand toward the sword.
• The explosion tore through the Wizard World's barrier, but figures radiating the Wizard Will formed a net that stopped the energy storm from reaching the world.
• Baturu survived the blast, gathered Black Soluo's cosmic-grade treasures, and found the unharmed Sword of Winter beside the Elemental Controller.
• The Bloodline Controller showed Baturu a soul and demanded that Atomic Control appear, threatening to crush it if Leo refused.
• Baturu realized the war had lured their forces into the Wizard World, and the Bloodline Controller revealed that the soul belonged to Alice, whom he had resurrected.

Leo appeared before the Supreme Lords and asked Bloodline Controller to name terms for returning Alice’s soul. After learning that the Wizard World could assimilate powerful beings, Leo offered his forces and artifacts in exchange for Alice, but the Supreme Lords were not tempted because they intended to capture him.

• Bloodline Controller used Alice’s soul to pressure Baturu, and Leo emerged from a spatial rift, gravely injured but composed.
• Leo asked Bloodline Controller to return Alice’s soul, and Bloodline Controller offered to forgive Leo if he returned to the Wizard World.
• Leo questioned the sudden force that had blocked Black Soluo’s self-detonation and identified five former Supreme Lords of the Returning Breath World among them.
• Bloodline Controller admitted that the Wizard World had a hidden force, and Elemental Controller defended its assimilation of powerful beings as a form of submission and eternal life.
• Leo offered nearly thirty thousand World Lords, several thousand worlds, the Eye of Destruction, and the Endless Pot in exchange for Alice’s soul, but the Supreme Lords remained intent on capturing him.

Leo surrendered to Bloodline Controller in exchange for Alice's soul, relinquishing his universe-grade treasures and ordering the fighting to stop. After arranging for Beast Blood Boiling and Undying Body to protect his friends, Leo began recovery before the Supreme Lords restrained him and knocked him unconscious.

• Other civilizations learned that Atomic Control’s army used Intelligent Souls for coordinated command and envied the Wizard World’s many spoils, including worlds, motherships, treasures, and powerful abilities.

After the war, the Wizard World reclaimed worlds and announced Baturu as its twenty-sixth Supreme Lord, but it made no further moves while it slowly assimilated Leo, Atomic Control’s remaining self. Beast Blood Boiling advanced to Supreme Lord and recorded his legacy, then left the Land of Origin after seeing Atomic Control’s Wizard Will grow stronger.

• The Wizard World reopened after fifty years, resettled Atomic Control’s former army across vacant worlds, and occupied the subordinate worlds of the Myriad Beasts World and the Purgatory Demon World.
• The Wizard World named Baturu its twenty-sixth Supreme Lord but withheld further secrets and took no major action while it worked to assimilate Leo and gain full control of Atomic Control’s forces.

Beast Blood Boiling and Undying Body tried to stay out of the conflict, but Mountain Range Guardian Garijivich and River Guardian Bolivina arrived to ask them for help.

• Yaoyao sensed that Leo had lost all his strength and returned to ordinary life, while Leo discovered he could perceive the Shadow World’s projections and move through its shadows.

Leo used his connection to the Shadow World to recover his levels one step at a time, gathering his past advancement projections into the Little Bookworms’ books and erasing those projections from the world. After returning to level six, he began advancing toward Supreme Lord, and the book’s power spread through the Shadow World as his step landed.
