After the Light Universe Time-Space War ended, Saine had already decided that he would return to Gear Time-Space next.
This decision did not come out of nowhere.
For one thing, the rule environment of Gear Time-Space was clearly more suited to the development of Saine and the Mechanical Civilization under his command.
That was the place most suitable for Saine to digest the high-dimensional rule Spoils of War he had obtained.
For another, there were no longer any large-scale wars in Light Universe Time-Space that required Saine's continued participation.
The remaining postwar reconstruction, pollution cleanup, star sector development, and resource distribution were also important, but they did not require Saine, the Mechanical God Emperor, to personally remain in command at all times.
However, before formally returning to Gear Time-Space, Saine still took time to study the many rule objects he had obtained on the Light Universe Time-Space Battlefield.
Among them, the most valuable was naturally the Origin Heart Core left behind after the Dark God Envoy's fall.
In the depths of Cube Time-Space, inside the highest-level experimental base.
A dark heart core was sealed within an isolation zone formed by multiple mechanical light screens interwoven with Cube laws.
This Origin Heart Core was not particularly large.
But the rule pressure it brought was enough to make ordinary Transcendence Realm experts feel dread.
On the surface of the heart core, layers of death, shadow, and sinking rules unique to Dark Universe Time-Space continuously spread outward.
Large numbers of mechanical probes had only just approached before the residual corrosion rules on its surface stained them with dense black spots.
If Saine had not arranged a sufficiently complete isolation system in advance, ordinary mechanical units would even have found it difficult to maintain normal operation for long.
