Postwar Gains

The Jieyin Zone the Primordial Universe Time-Space still reverberates with the oscillations left behind after the collapse of the Cross-dimensional Passage.

As soon as the last few Mechanical Platform finished docking, a large group of maintenance machines that had been waiting nearby surrounded them from different directions.

The right arm and large area of armor on the chest of the God of Machines were stained bright yellow by the Source Power of the Source-Devouring Progenitor.

Some of these areas are still slowly drawing energy from the surrounding environment.

Saine did not allow the damaged armor to remain inside the God of Machines.

Tens of thousands of robotic arms operate simultaneously, peeling away the contaminated armor layer by layer and sending it into different sealing containers.

Those remnants of the Devouring Source that are extremely dangerous in the eyes of ordinary people are also Spoils of War of war for Saine from this trip to the Primal Source Pasture.

Further away, the massive platform containing the remains of the Lord of Ancient Azure has been completely covered by a silver-gray seal.

The Pasture-Realm Ancient Emperor, the Myriad Pastures Source Disc, and the complete Source-Devouring Mother Nest were also sent to three separate mechanically isolated areas.

The Mechanical Civilization has suffered considerable losses this time.

More than forty large Engineering Platform were completely destroyed.

On the side of the Destruction Divine Kingdom, there was also a war continent, which was torn apart from the center by the final wave of rules brought by the Source-Devouring Progenitor.

As for the losses of the middle and lower-level Mechanical Legion and Destruction Creature, it is even more difficult to complete the statistics in a short period of time.

However, all six civilizations that entered the Primal Source Pasture successfully arrived in the Primordial Universe Time-Space.

None of the things the Mechanical Civilization wanted to take away ended up back in the hands of the Source-Devouring Time-Space.

Judging from this result, the gains from this trip far outweighed the losses.

Kakarot has now been transferred to a Mechanical Platform specifically designed for restoring the origins of High-Level Beings.

A vast amount of rich Life Energy is continuously flowing into his Rule True Body along the bottom of the platform.

Kakarot's two arms have not yet fully recovered.

The chest and shoulder areas were also covered with fine cracks left by the erosion of the Bright Yellow Power.

But his eyes were brighter than before he went to the Primal Source Pasture.

"How did it go this time?" Locke asked.

The Destruction Demon God did not maintain his massive, Rule True Body; he simply stood outside the recovery platform, looking at the Super Saiyan who had followed him for many years.

"I see a higher view of power," Kakarot replied.

Kakarot already possessed Combat Power comparable to that of ordinary Lord of Dimension.

However, his Life Level remains at the Level-12 Peak.

This time, the power unleashed by the Source-Devouring Progenitor across realms allowed him to see the existence of a higher Life Barrier so clearly for the first time.

That barrier remained incredibly sturdy.

But at least Kakarot was able to determine where he should throw his punch next.

"Let's go back to Paradise Lost first," Locke said.

"Replenish your depleted Life Source Power before considering anything else."

Kakarot.

He was not discouraged by being at a disadvantage in this head-on confrontation.

On the contrary, the power of the Source-Devouring Progenitor reignited Kakarot's long-dormant fighting spirit to new heights.

The Destruction Channel to the Paradise Lost Time-Space soon opened behind the recovery platform.

Locke and Kakarot entered one after the other.

After arranging the follow-up affairs of the Primordial Universe Time-Space, Saine returned to the Gear Time-Space with the God of Machines and the most important Spoils of War.

Lina was the first to arrive at the God of Machines's Maintenance Area.

Instead of immediately looking at the samples that were being sent to the Central Experimental Cluster in batches, she walked up to Saine and sensed the power fluctuations of his body.

"The God of Machines is more seriously injured than you," Lina said.

"The main power of the Source-Devouring Progenitor was blocked by Kakarot," Saine replied.

"I'm only responsible for the remaining part."

"The rest?" A familiar voice came from outside the Maintenance Area.

Natalia and Luna walked in side by side.

The two women were originally still in seclusion in a secret realm governed by rules.

They only temporarily suspended their training after learning that Saine had returned.

Natalia glanced at the large sections of armor that had been peeled off from the surface of the God of Machines, then looked at the dangerous sealed objects that were being continuously sent into the Experimental Zone.

"Every time you go out, you bring back more and more things," Natalia said.

"This time, they even brought back the remains of Level-13 Being."

"That is the Lord of Ancient Azure," Saine replied.

"I know his name." Natalia walked up to Saine and patted him on the chest.

She withdrew her hand only after confirming that Saine had not hidden any injuries.

"I just want to know, when will you stop making yourself the one who needs maintenance?"

"I can't help but say that, "Luna said, standing nearby.

Her personality has become much more peaceful than Natalia's over the years, and she only handed over a Rule Crystal that she had just brought out from the secluded cultivation realm to Saine.

"This is the Origin Crystal we've condensed this time," Luna said.

"Still a ways off from Level-10, but much more stable than last time."

Saine took the crystal and examined it for a moment.

He then took out several High-Grade Materials from the Remnant Star Remnant Domain and the Primal Source Pasture from the Magic Cube and handed them to the two women.

These materials cannot directly help them break through, but they can be used to temper their Rules Body and improve their ability to withstand transcendent power in the future.

At this time, Saine's mentor Luluman, also arrived at the Maintenance Area.

Unlike Natalia, she didn't directly ask Saine what he had experienced.

A shimmering emerald light flew from her fingertips and slowly landed on Saine.

This layer of Rule of Life could not penetrate Saine's Ashes True Body, but it could discern his general state from the feedback of the surrounding power.

"The Rule True Body was not damaged," Luluman said.

"However, your Mental Strength has been maintained at a high level."

"Let's rest for a while before starting the experiment."

Saine had originally planned to have Skynet initiate the first round of investigations into the remains of the Lord of Ancient Azure.

After hearing Luluman's words, he paused for a moment, but ultimately ordered the nearby machinery to stop temporarily.

Even at the heights of his life today, Luluman remains his mentor.

This relationship, which has continued since the Material Star Realm era, has not changed despite Saine possessing Lord of Dimension -level combat power.

"Did the Lord of Ancient Azure still care about the civilizations of this time and space in the end?" Luluman asked.

"Hmm," Saine replied.

"His full consciousness had long since dissipated, but the last vestige of his personal will never forgot those civilizations."

Luluman nodded thoughtfully.

"Then let him see those civilized new homes."

"As for the experiment, a few days' delay won't make any difference."

Saine did not refute this.

On that day, the Central Experimental Cluster did not immediately enter full-power operation, which is unusual.

Saine accompanied Lina and the other women back to their living area.

That day's dinner didn't include any particularly rare or high-quality ingredients.

The Little Fox Girl, accompanied by several maids, served the same dishes that Saine and the others were familiar with.

Natalia was more interested in the battle at the Primal Source Pasture and kept asking Kakarot about the situation when he directly withstood the power of the Source-Devouring Progenitor.

Luna placed the several bright yellow crystals that Saine had brought back at a distance to observe whether they still showed signs of draining life force.

Luluman did not participate in the two women's discussion.

She listened to Saine recount the final awakening of the Lord of Ancient Azure, and sighed softly, "To remember the civilization he once protected millions of years after his death, he truly was a worthy Lord of Dimension."

"Unfortunately, attachment alone cannot stop the Source-Devouring Time-Space," Saine said.

Meanwhile, in the Primordial Universe Time-Space, the Star Tomb Civilization had already transmitted the news of the safe rescue of the six civilizations to the secret network of the Lost World Alliance.

Helan, representing the Star Tomb Civilization, officially signed the supplementary contract under the witness of the Skynet.

The other five civilizations did not all choose to become vassals of the Mechanical Civilization.

However, they all joined the new resettlement system of the Lost World Alliance and determined the costs they would have to pay based on their respective resources, technology, and population size.

The Mechanical Civilization has completed the basic transformation of the world it assigned to its first group of immigrants.

Some ordinary creatures that had just emerged from the underground of the Primal Source Pasture still dared not stray too far from the Transport Platform.

They were used to living a life where they could be discovered by the Source-Devouring Beasts at any moment.

Even the normal Law Tide of the Primordial Universe Time-Space tides initially led them to mistakenly believe that the Source-Devouring Mother Nest had begun a new round of extraction.

Only after decades of continuous presence by a nearby Mechanical Fleet, without any enemies appearing, did these exiled creatures attempt to establish their first settlements on the Surface World the new world.

One by one, coordinates that had been dormant for many years lit up in the distant space and time.

The Lost World Alliance has waited far too long for this day.
