Not Over

Just as Nolan said, he had not planned on breaking through. As a matter of fact, he was stunned by his sudden advancement. 

When Obstruction trapped Nolan in an isolated space, it was true that he was forced to break past his limits. But because he knew the Human plane had a Sovereign, he was confident that no matter how much he pushed himself, he would not truly achieve a breakthrough.

Who would have thought that as soon as he had broken through his limit to escape from Obstruction's magic, he would actually advance to a Sovereign?

Nolan was pissed! Not even being able to fully utilize the Human plane's magic energy at his disposal after becoming its new Sovereign could alleviate his displeasure.

He preferred to remain as a Sage. Because only then could he work with Cade and Kyran in dealing with the Soul Emperor. But now that he had become the Human plane's Sovereign, he could no longer meddle in its internal affairs.
