The Lost World Covenant
As the God of Machines emerged from the other end of the passage, the primal tremors of the Darkness Sword Time-Space gradually subsided.
Following closely behind were enormous Ark and Transport Platform carrying the survivors.
Remnant Star Civilization is not Flame Civilization.
They did not have an Everbright Ark capable of carrying all their people.
The rescued civilizations could only squeeze into the space devices and Transport Ship provided by the Mechanical Civilization.
There were also some smaller Plane Worlds that were towed back from the Remnant Star Remnant Domain by Mechanical Platform.
They had barely entered the Darkness Sword Time-Space when they were met with obvious rejection from the local rules.
A vast, Dark Tide rises from the distant starry sky.
The Ebony's rule projection reappeared outside the Mechanical Civilization's controlled area.
"Tell them to leave as soon as possible," Ebony said.
"I wasn't planning on leaving them here anyway," Saine said.
The God of Machines did not linger.
After the last batch of the Mechanical Legion withdrew, the long-distance coordinates of the complete Source-Devouring Mother Nest were deliberately severed by Saine.
The passage through the Remnant Star Time-Space was then completely closed.
Ebony watched the survivors still pouring out and ultimately decided not to make things difficult for them.
Locke's Destruction Will has not yet departed.
The Mechanical Civilization and the Destruction Divine Kingdom Legion still control a large number of nodes in the Darkness Sword Time-Space.
At this point, it would be pointless for Ebony to prevent the survivors from leaving.
Several large teleportation platforms leading to the Primordial Universe Time-Space were quickly activated by the Mechanical Engineering Legion.
The Everbright Ark of civilization, carrying the Flame Civilization, was the first to enter it.
The Remnant Star Civilization and several other rescued civilizations followed in the order set by Skynet.
They were merely using the Darkness Sword Time-Space as a temporary transit point.
No remnant civilization was allowed to escape the surveillance range of the Mechanical Legion.
On the other side of the Primordial Universe Time-Space, Saine's legions had already cleared out several star systems.
These star systems originally belonged to the Darkness Sword Organization.
After Ebony's defeat, a large number of its direct legions and Affiliated Civilization withdrew from it.
Apart from a small number of Homeland Being that refused to leave, the vast majority of the world was in a state of emptiness.
This region is vast, even for any Top-Level Civilization.
However, within the entire Primordial Universe Time-Space, it only occupies a very small part.
Even if Saine were to hand them all over to the Lost World Alliance, it wouldn't have a significant impact on the overall civilization structure of the Primordial Universe Time-Space.
Moreover, this place is where many Different Dimensional Plane Forces have established their presence and developed together.
Mechanical Civilization, the Destruction Divine Kingdom, the Myriad Phenomena Community, the Eternal Day Time-Space, and the Source-Devouring Time-Space all possess their own legions and control zones within the Primordial Universe Time-Space.
The sudden appearance of a group of survivors who lost their Mother Time-Space is not something that the surrounding Homeland Civilization should excessively reject.
The Everbright Ark, which was the first to arrive at the settlement star system, did not immediately shut down all its weapons.
Millions of years of fleeing have made it difficult for our Flame Civilization to truly believe in a strange, unfamiliar starry sky.
The blazing White Flame on the Ark's surface only gradually subsided after the Mechanical Engineering Legion handed over the distribution of the surrounding world and safe routes to Miluo.
The reaction from the Remnant Star Civilization was even more pronounced.
Some weak creatures, accustomed to the gray-white starry sky, dared not leave the Transport Platform directly after seeing the stars shining normally in the Primordial Universe Time-Space.
An excessive amount of elemental and regulatory energy can cause discomfort to their chronically weakened bodies.
The Mechanical Civilization had to set up energy filtering barriers on the outside of the first few immigrant worlds.
This discomfort will only last for a short time.
Once these survivors readjust to the normal Dimensional Plane environment, their life state will gradually recover.
Several Homeland Civilization from the surrounding Primordial Universe Time-Space also sent small fleets to observe.
After confirming that the Lost World Alliance had no immediate intention to expand outwards, two of the civilizations even took the initiative to propose a small-scale resource transaction.
For the Lost World Alliance, such ordinary contact without pursuit and devouring is a memory from a very distant past.
Of course, Saine did not directly give these star systems to the Lost World Alliance.
Mechanical Civilization provided them with settlements, basic resources, and external protection.
The Lost World Alliance, in turn, is required to continue paying the corresponding costs according to the previously agreed-upon conditions.
The first batch of ash-covered Rule Crystal from the Remnant Star Civilization were quickly sent to the Mechanical Civilization's warehouse.
The Flame Civilization has also opened up more Different Dimensional Plane data within the Everbright Ark.
The other rescued civilizations each contributed their own technology and special resources.
These things, taken individually, might not be of much concern to Saine.
However, they come from different Dimensional Plane.
The diversity of rules it contains is far beyond what ordinary World Civilization can provide.
The initial gains from this rescue alone have already exceeded the energy consumption of the Mechanical Civilization in constructing the passage and dispatching its legions.
This does not even take into account the vast amount of Source-Devouring Time-Space Intelligence possessed by the Lost World Alliance.
Saine's previous choice was clearly correct.
Wojin then arrived at the settlement area with a professional team.
Every batch of resources provided by the Mechanical Civilization, every immigrant world built, and the subsequent costs of its protection were meticulously recorded.
These debts will not be required to be repaid immediately by the Lost World Alliance.
However, as various civilizations gradually resume production, they need to hand over the special resources and technological achievements they produce to the Mechanical Civilization in accordance with the agreed proportions.
Wojin's conditions were not lenient.
However, this left these civilizations with ample room to recover.
Atar did not haggle after reviewing the complete list.
For the Remnant Star Civilization, being able to exchange future resources for the continuation of its civilization was already an extremely fortunate outcome.
After the rescued civilization settled down, the first truly meaningful meeting of the Lost World Alliance was also held on the Everbright Ark.
Besides Miluo and Atar, who had already arrived in the Primordial Universe Time-Space, nine other blurry projections from distant Dimensional Plane appeared around the white flame.
The regular states of these projections are all unstable.
Two of them could even be interrupted at any time.
Clearly, not all members of the Remnant Realm have escaped the cleansing of the Source-Devouring Time-Space.
Saine did not promise them that he would save all civilizations.
A set of rules and covenants drafted by Skynet appeared directly at the center of the meeting.
"Mechanical Civilization can provide the Lost World Alliance with trade, shelter, and Cross-dimensional Plane support," Saine said.
"But every act of kindness comes at a price."
"You need to continuously provide me with information on the movements of the legions in the Source-Devouring Time-Space, the coordinates of the ranches, concealed routes, and special resources."
"Whether or not to initiate a rescue operation will be decided by the Mechanical Civilization based on its specific value."
The projected rules fell into a brief silence.
For the remnant civilization still being hunted, the conditions proposed by Saine were far from easy.
However, the Mechanical Civilization did not demand that they abandon their own Civilization Inheritance, nor did it require the Lost World Alliance to become part of the war system that Destruction Divine Kingdom.
They still have a choice.
"The Flame Civilization is willing to sign the alliance," Miluo said first.
"The Remnant Star Civilization is also willing," Atar added.
Other rule projections also responded in turn.
One of the civilizations claimed that while they could not provide many material resources, they possessed three hidden routes leading deep into the Source-Devouring Pasture.
The other civilization is willing to hand over all the rule diagrams preserved before the destruction of the Mother Time-Space.
Based on the different values these civilizations could offer, Skynet quickly generated several different sets of cooperation terms.
Saine did not demand that they pay the exact same price.
The Lost World Alliance is composed of civilizations with completely different forms and systems.
Forcing the use of the same standard would only waste their most valuable aspects.
Finally, only two civilizations that were not yet threatened by the Source-Devouring Legion did not provide an immediate answer.
Saine did not insist.
Civilizations willing to engage in trade can naturally enter the protective system constructed by Mechanical Civilization.
As for the members of the Remnant Realm who still want to rely on their own strength to continue hiding, Saine will not take on the risks for them without compensation.
Miluo was subsequently identified as the primary liaison between the Lost World Alliance and the Mechanical Civilization.
Atar was responsible for compiling coordinates and war information from different civilizations.
These efforts had barely begun when the Skynet Database already contained numerous Source-Devouring Pasture, abandoned forward bases, and covert routes.
Some of these coordinates are even located deeper within the sphere of influence of the Source-Devouring Time-Space.
Saine did not immediately initiate a new interdimensional rescue.
After the battle in the Remnant Star Time-Space, Ebony has shown that he may use the Mother Time-Space Authority to cause trouble at any time.
The Darkness Sword Time-Space is clearly unsuitable as a long-term Jieyin for the Lost World Alliance.
The Time-Space Power within the Primordial Universe Time-Space are becoming more active.
This place also has stable connections with multiple Higher Dimensional Plane.
Saine plans to have the Mechanical Engineering Legion rebuild a larger long-range Jieyin base in the newly designated star system.
Those survivors who remain in distant Dimensional Plane will no longer be transferred through the Darkness Sword Time-Space.
This will also allow Mechanical Civilization to gradually break free from the Mother Time-Space limitations imposed by Ebony.
As the meeting was drawing to a close, the Communication Device deep within the Everbright Ark suddenly lit up.
This time, the message that came through was not a request for help.
Instead, it is a coordinate information encrypted using multiple layers of rules.
"The sender claims to be one of the oldest living members of the Lost World Alliance," Atar said.
He knows the location of an ancient Source-Devouring Pasture.
Even the Emperor Monarch of the Source-Devouring Time-Space have been searching for that place.
Saine looked at the constantly changing coordinates.
What does he want?
"He wants to trade with you personally," Atar replied.
"Furthermore, he is willing to travel to the Primordial Universe Time-Space."
A hint of interest flashed in Saine's eyes.
"Let him come over."
