Faced with the Anti-Decay Alliance's request for aid, Saine and the commanders of the Evil Tide Civilization naturally rejected it as their first response.

The Anti-Decay Alliance had clearly committed greater overall military strength to this starfield than the Decayed Civilization. Why were they the ones asking for help now?

Besides, Saine had no substantial exchange of interests with these Anti-Decay Alliance powerhouses.

To put it bluntly, Saine had completed his task the moment he pulled these top-level civilizations of the Anti-Decay Alliance onto the war chariot.

How they fought afterward, and what the war turned into, had not the slightest thing to do with Saine.

The Evil Tide Civilization presumably thought the same.

The first powerhouse stationed by the Evil Tide Civilization in this Decay Time-Space was Kai Huang Demon Ancestor.

He was an Evil Tide high-level figure with an exceptionally steady temperament.

The Supreme Hall had recalled Gui Mie Demon Ancestor and transferred Kai Huang Demon Ancestor to this battlefield, likely because they valued this very steadiness of his.

Sure enough, the Evil Tide Civilization remained unmoved by the Anti-Decay Alliance's plea for aid.

To many Evil Tide Civilization Dominators observing the fierce battle in the starry sky before them, no matter how useless these Anti-Decay Alliance civilizations were, they should at least be able to wear down some of the Decayed Civilization's strength for the Evil Tide Civilization.

Moreover, none of these Anti-Decay Alliance members had been actively recruited by the Evil Tide Civilization. They had gathered here entirely because they were driven by profit.

For these World Civilizations that wanted benefits yet refused to pay more, it would have been strange indeed if the Evil Tide Civilization held any goodwill toward them!

"How long do you think the Anti-Decay Alliance's rout will last?" Ampsa, who had remained mature and tranquil at Saine's side, suddenly asked.

Saine glanced at her without answering the question. He merely said, "Let's go. There's nothing worth watching next."

"The Anti-Decay Alliance's collapse does not actually depend on itself, but on the Decayed Civilization's attitude."

"The Decayed Civilization still has a considerable number of Combat Legions that have not withdrawn from the World Battlefield of Time Retracing."

"By my estimate, another intense decisive battle should soon erupt there," Saine said.

"Oh?" Ampsa responded in surprise.

But before she could ask further, Saine truly turned and left the place.

It was as though the "fierce" civilization melee unfolding here no longer held any attraction for him.

Sure enough, just as Saine had said, the Evil Tide Civilization was about to have another fierce battle in the Flowing Light Retrospective World.

This was another reason they were unwilling to interfere too deeply in the war against the Decayed Civilization within the Material Star Realm.

Although the Decayed Civilization's main forces had already withdrawn, a considerable number of its legions remained tightly clamped down upon by the Evil Tide Civilization in the Flowing Light Retrospective World, unable to break free.

And following the death of Dracula, the Level-8 Peak Vampire True Ancestor of the Gekdraman Civilization, another Level-8 Peak powerhouse on the Dimensional Battlefield had recently reached the end of his road.

It was Despair Star Envoy Alan!

The forces committed by the Evil Tide Civilization to encircle and kill Despair Star Envoy Alan were rather extravagant.

Besides Gui Mie Demon Ancestor and Candela Demon Ancestor personally coming to oversee the battle, they had also brought in the Heavenly Equaling Great Sage of the Immortal Domain Civilization and the mysterious Celestial Venerable Han, Han Li.

In fact, it was not just these powerhouses. As the territories contested by the Ultimate Body Civilizations of both sides on the Dimensional Battlefield continued to shrink, more and more top-tier powerhouses began converging upon this war zone.

After all, only a few percent of the contested territory remained on the Dimensional Battlefield. Even if the Decayed Civilization continued relocating, where else could it maneuver?

For instance, near this war zone were Buddhism Sect powerhouses such as Fa Hai and Dipamkara Buddha, Intercept Sect powerhouses such as Master Tongtian, and a group of Demon Race powerhouses led by Demon Sky Great Sage Li Qingshan.

The Decayed Civilization had also gathered its final strength, preparing to fight the formidable enemies before it to the death.

Despair Star Envoy Alan had originally had a chance to withdraw from the Dimensional Battlefield. Someone else had been assigned to serve as the rearguard.

But Alan had voluntarily refused the Fallen Emperor's assignment and resolutely requested to remain behind himself!

"Ever since Wiki died, I feel there is nothing left in this time-space worth clinging to," Alan said.

"Let me make one final contribution to the Decayed Civilization," Alan sighed.

Despair Star Envoy Alan and Calamity Summoner Wiki had indeed been a pair of inseparable friends within the Decayed Civilization.

Both were exceedingly evil and overbearing. During the Decayed Civilization's march across the Astral Realm, they had brought suffering to who knew how many planar civilizations.

At the same time, like the Annihilation Dragon, they had initially been among the foremost Level-8 Peak powerhouses of the Decayed Civilization, and both had been considered to possess the potential to advance to Half-Level-9 in the future.

But unfortunately, Calamity Summoner Wiki had been slightly less fortunate. He had already fallen in the middle stage of the Dimensional Hegemony.

Wiki, who had always brought calamity upon the living beings of other planes, ultimately became the first to summon the calamity of death upon himself on the Dimensional Battlefield.

Despair Star Envoy Alan currently had two Civilization Supreme Treasures at his side. One was the Nuclear Nova, which had always been his natal supreme treasure.

The other was the Civilization Supreme Treasure left behind by God of Destruction Zanding before he departed the Star Realm—the Destruction Gauntlet.

After consideration, the Serpent Empress and the Fallen Emperor had handed this Civilization Supreme Treasure over to him for use.

High above the Dimensional Battlefield, Alan, wearing the white Destruction Gauntlet, suddenly pointed forward.

A massive Meteor Shower with astonishing impact abruptly unfolded across this Dimensional Battlefield!

In terms of explosive force and the intensity of his pressure, Alan, whose Dominator Omnipotent Soul had already become extremely depleted, was actually even more profound than when he had first arrived on the Dimensional Battlefield!

For Alan, he was now continuously fighting with Wiki's share as well!

"Half-Level-9 power? Is he advancing?" More than one Evil Tide Civilization Dominator directly before Despair Star Envoy Alan noticed the abnormal change in him.

Gui Mie Demon Ancestor clearly did not wish for Alan to advance successfully. Gripping the Gui Mie Demon Blade in his hand and instantly activating his second form, he slashed directly toward Alan's location!

The might of Half-Level-9 had indeed surpassed Level-8 Peak powerhouses by far too much.

The Destruction Giant Ape Wukong present also possessed Half-Level-9 strength, but asking that lively monkey to block Despair Star Envoy Alan, who had faintly embraced the will to die, was something Wukong refused to do.

As Gui Mie Demon Ancestor made his move, Nether Vortex Demon Ancestor Kandira also let out a low shout. "I'll help you stop him!"

As his voice fell, dozens of purple Evil Tide Vortices instantly appeared around the battlefield where Despair Star Envoy Alan stood.

The next moment, densely packed rule attacks surged toward Alan in unison.

At this critical moment, Emperor of Depravity Xili'ao made his move once again!

As the Level-9 Being the Decayed Civilization had left behind on the World Battlefield of Time Retracing, the Emperor of Depravity naturally kept constant watch over the battle here.

A Gray White shield of rule mist appeared around Alan, blocking the threats closing in from every direction.

Even Gui Mie Demon Ancestor's earth-shattering slash ultimately failed to break through the mist shield provided by the Emperor of Depravity.

This bought Alan the time he needed to complete the crucial transformation of his life level.
