While Saine was still studying the Source-Devouring Remnants in the Final Silence Time-Space, an important message arrived from the Demon Cave Time-Space.
The Darkness Demon Ancestor had broken through.
This ancient powerhouse of the Evil Tide Civilization had finally crossed the limits of his own Life Level and officially advanced to Level-12.
When the news reached Saine, he was conducting the second round of noise-reduction experiments on a set of Final Silence Rule Nodes.
After Skynet's light screen unfolded, Saine looked at it for a long time.
The title Darkness Demon Ancestor was, in truth, more of a habitual form of address used by Saine.
Within the Evil Tide Civilization, especially among the many middle- and lower-level Evil Tide creatures, as well as the Dominator-class Devil Ancestors, he was more often called the "Darkness God"!
For many years, the Darkness Demon Ancestor had been an exceptionally unusual existence within the Evil Tide Civilization.
He was clearly only at Level-11 Life Level, yet possessed the overall combat power to directly confront, and even rival, Level-12 lifeforms.
That combat power was not simply piled up through external objects.
It had been forged from his own Darkness Rule, Evil Tide Origin, ancient accumulation, and tempering through numerous wars.
But level 11 was ultimately still level 11.
Without truly crossing the threshold of Level-12, there would always be an upper limit to his fundamental Life Level.
Now, that limit had finally been shattered.
Deep within the Demon Cave Time-Space, the Dark Tide had churned continuously for several hundred years.
That already shattered Higher Dimensional Plane remained devastated and scarred beyond recognition.
After the Demon Cave Master fell, this time-space lost its most crucial pillar of support.
It later endured the takeover by the Destruction Divine Kingdom Faction, Locke's extraction of Destruction Factors, two rounds
