The changes triggered by Alarm Clock Girl's advancement to Level-12 Late-Stage went far beyond Gear Time-Space simply gaining a stronger Homeland Being.
The deep architecture of the entire Higher Dimensional Plane was slowly changing along with it.
The vast regions of emptiness that had once lain at the edge of Gear Time-Space began to show deposits of rules.
At first, there were only a few silvery-white metal particles drifting in the empty darkness.
Then, strand after strand of gear Rule Patterns spread outward from within the time-space.
These Rule Patterns intersected with one another and gradually formed a new Mechanical Nebula.
Deep within the Mechanical Nebula, there was no life.
Nor were there any mature Plane Worlds.
But Saine could already sense part of a newborn rule network within it.
As long as it continued developing, new star regions, resource planes, and even Homeland Beings better adapted to Gear Time-Space's environment would inevitably be born there in the future.
The God of Machines hovered near the boundary of the time-space.
It was now a Civilization-Level Mechanical Life at the Level-12 Early-Stage, and also one of the existences most favored by Gear Time-Space's Origin Will.
Through the God of Machines, Saine could sense the entire process of Gear Time-Space's expansion with even greater clarity.
It was not simply taking the external void into its territory.
Rather, Gear Time-Space's own rules were constantly becoming more complete, weightier, and gaining the ability to influence regions farther away.
Alarm Clock Girl's breakthrough was only an important catalyst that drove this expansion.
What truly supported Gear Time-Space's continuous growth was the civilizations, powerful beings, resources, and Rule Systems that had successively flowed into this place over the years.
Water Mirror Civilization had already established large mirror-surface nodes along many routes within Gear Time-Space.
