Background / History

Material Star Realm expansion

The Evil Tide Civilization emerged as an extreme expansionist power whose mutation and growth eventually drew rejection from the Star Realm itself. It crossed starfields through dedicated Evil Tide Passages, demonized conquered worlds, and accumulated the legacies, populations, and military methods of defeated civilizations. Its historic rise produced five recorded Level-9 Beings. 2419 2420

Saine first heard of the civilization from a fast-moving meteorite creature, which warned that it had annexed eleven Top-Level Civilizations and identified the Immortal Domain as a prospective source of resistance. He initially doubted the warning, but a later encounter with a Level-6 spherical creature at the ruined Skytrack Star World confirmed that the civilization was real. The creature was protecting the wounded Level-5 Skytrack Star being Moro and invoked the approaching Evil Tide Crisis during its confrontation with Saine. 1874 2184

For more than 100,000 years, it selected vulnerable Top-Level Civilizations—particularly those whose Level-9 Beings had recently departed the Star Realm—and annexed them at an accelerating rate. Its first such conquest required over 30,000 years, its second 20,000, and its third 12,000; it later maintained an average pace of roughly one annexed Top-Level Civilization per 10,000 years. 2422

Its adoption of Traverse the Void followed a disagreement among the three Supreme Demon Ancestors. Two persuaded the civilization to pursue expansion across the Star Realm rather than immediately enter Dimensional Hegemony. Their concern was that the Despair World's powerful Time-based Laws could expose them to civilizations from different eras. During a little more than 100,000 years of this strategy, its territory and potential for Civilization War expanded more than tenfold. 2419

The Undying Supreme's calculation and perception abilities were central to this strategy. Rather than blindly assaulting every opponent, the civilization identified weakened targets, avoided costly fronts when necessary, and sought faster routes to continued expansion. 2420 2422

An early confrontation with the Demon Subjugation Alliance demonstrated this restraint. Although the Undying Supreme defeated the Nine Stars Civilization's Star Radiance Master, the three Supremes chose to bypass the growing alliance rather than exhaust their main forces against it. They subsequently targeted the Minghe Empire after calculating that its recently advanced Level-9 Being should already have departed the Star Realm; the ongoing Minghe–Light Dimension Country war provided an additional opportunity to attack both civilizations before neighboring powers could coordinate resistance. 2422

By the time its lower population was described as predominantly assimilated peoples, the Evil Tide Civilization had absorbed the territories of twelve Top-Level Civilizations. The Fallen Leaf Civilization was its twelfth conquest, the Light Dimension Country its thirteenth, and the Minghe Empire its fourteenth. These victories expanded both its military population and the reserves of resources and inherited techniques available to it. 2421 3107

The Wizard Alliance formally identified the Evil Tide invasion as its primary future threat during an assembly, with the Light Dimension warrior Senagalo explaining the crisis and requesting assistance for his civilization's remnants. A later assembly formally declared war on the Evil Tide Civilization. Its offensives against the Wizard Civilization, Immortal Domain, and Silver Soul World subsequently helped drive those powers toward coordinated resistance. 2729 3281 3385

The Minghe Empire campaign culminated in an all-out offensive across the Maganno Meteorite Swarm and every other major and minor front. After the conquest, Demon Fall Supreme ordered the occupied Netherworld Star Territory developed into an important Demon Domain and resource base. He simultaneously assigned Kai Huang and a hundred Demon Emperors to reinforce the Immortal Domain offensive, while Six-Winged Demon Ancestor and Saite Demon Ancestor advanced toward the Wizard Civilization. 2982 3199

Despite its successes, the civilization's attempt to range across the Star Realm encountered increasingly numerous opponents. At one stage it was fighting eight Top-Level Civilizations while knowing of eleven additional civilizations that had not yet entered the conflict. The scale of the unexplored Star Realm caused Secluded Bamboo Supreme to question the sustainability of its chosen path. 3142

These difficulties also produced disagreements within the Supreme leadership. Secluded Bamboo Supreme criticized the simultaneous wars against multiple Top-Level Civilizations, while Demon Fall Supreme argued that further conquests would replenish their losses. Undying Supreme urged unity and noted that Astral Realm Overseer intervention had helped the opposing civilizations organize their resistance. 2963

The Wizard campaign suffered a decisive reversal following Lilith's advancement and the arrival of the Star Realm Dominators she summoned. Demon Fall Supreme recognized that he could not defeat her or continue the conquest. The resulting retreat was especially dangerous because the Evil Tide Civilization had expected continued victory and had constructed insufficient defensive positions in its rear. Its extreme offensives had also encouraged previously undecided civilizations to join the resistance. 3520 3563

The civilization ultimately won the Dimensional Hegemony in the Material Star Realm. Its withdrawal afterward was conducted publicly and methodically, though its leaders still had to deter hostile civilizations from exploiting the transition. At that time, it retained more than 400 Dominators. 4410

During the latter phase of its Material Star Realm wars, the Evil Tide Civilization shifted from indiscriminate direct assault toward infiltration, strategic deception, and interest exchanges with neighboring civilizations. It also traded vast territories for resources it expected to need after entering higher dimensions. 4438 4219

The Evil Tide Civilization later reached a covert strategic arrangement with the Wizard Civilization. It withdrew from Wizard-controlled territory, traded portions of the Deity Set in exchange for one use of the Sealing Divine Ring, and maintained lower-level conflicts in ceded regions partly to preserve the appearance of continued war. 3688

Its diplomatic retreat also extended to the Immortal Domain, to which it sent Qian Yi Demon Emperor as a peace envoy carrying material concessions. Meanwhile, its leaders redirected part of their forces away from the Wizard and Immortal Domain fronts to confront the Demon Subjugation Alliance. Behind its public rest and recuperation, the civilization continued investigating the mysterious Black Armor Creatures that had appeared on its battlefields. 3685 3627 3705

The destruction of the Siwoda Civilization demonstrated that these setbacks had not eliminated its offensive capability. The campaign ended with Di Ba's fall, Siwoda Planet's demonization and collapse, more than forty Dominator Craters, and the seizure of the Limitless Core and Divine Card. Nevertheless, the civilization still required a recuperation period measured in at least ten thousand years. Subsequent secret meetings transferred additional Deity Set components to the Wizard Civilization and the Limitless Core to the Immortal Domain. 3684 3692

Its internal security also deteriorated as numerous Demon Emperors became corrupted and Liè Chǐ Demon Ancestor rebelled in connection with the Decayed Civilization. Zi You helped uncover the infiltration. Undying Supreme consequently planned further approaches to the Wizard Civilization and Immortal Domain to reduce external pressure while the Evil Tide Civilization suppressed its internal rebellion. 3751

Dimensional Hegemony and withdrawal

The Evil Tide Civilization opened its Dimensional Hegemony campaign by withdrawing forces from the Silver Soul World and sending Di Fa into the Dimensional Esophagus Battlefield in the Flowing Light Retrospective World. Its leaders hoped to exploit the much faster passage of time there to complete a prolonged dimensional war while only hundreds or thousands of years elapsed in the Material Star Realm. 3853

The campaign initially placed it under severe pressure from the Decayed Civilization while its Material Star Realm enemies continued attacking. Secluded Bamboo Supreme sought closer cooperation with Saine, and an Evil Tide envoy later explicitly requested that he lead Wizard Civilization Dominators into the Dimensional Hegemony. Its Dominator rotation system became saturated, illustrating the strain of maintaining both fronts. 3830 4020 4064

The Decayed Civilization had gained an early intelligence advantage despite the Evil Tide Civilization's greater overall scale. The Enlightenment Prophet obtained information about its future opponent and established a channel across time, allowing Decayed forces to investigate Evil Tide experts, treasures, and battlefield methods before the main contest. The Evil Tide leadership likewise withheld some of its remaining trump cards rather than reveal its full strength prematurely. 3730 3790 4059

At the beginning of the dimensional campaign, its territorial share was approximately four-tenths of the battlefield, later falling toward one-quarter at its lowest point. A counterattack led by One-Eyed Demon Ancestor and Dragon Roar Demon Ancestor, with support from the recovering Six-Winged Demon Ancestor, reclaimed territory when the Decayed Civilization diverted powerful combatants elsewhere. 4059

The civilization subsequently pursued a Ten Thousand Year Strategy, using the Infinite Passage to improve troop deployment and resource integration. Its immense territorial holdings allowed it to obtain scarce dimensional-war supplies by selling land, planes, star regions, and technology. These exchanges also supplied Saine with unusually high-grade experimental materials. 4144 4171 4172

Nearly a hundred fresh Devil Emperors later reinforced the Flowing Light Retrospective World, shifting the battlefield balance. At the same time, most of the Demon Subjugation Alliance favored seizing poorly defended peripheral star domains rather than continuing its costly main-front offensive, easing pressure while the Evil Tide Civilization concentrated on the dimensional war. 4143

After Darkness Demon Ancestor departed the time-space, he left the Darkness Throne behind for the civilization. Di Fa became its first subsequent occupant and replaced Bright Blue Demon Ancestor as the commander responsible for directing the continuing Dimensional Wars. 4306

As the war shifted into Decay Time-Space, the Evil Tide Civilization advanced into regions from which the Decayed Civilization had deliberately withdrawn. It demonized or incorporated populations from the Gekdraman Civilization, Eternal Soul Clan, Wanqiong World Civilization, and Sky-Sea World; these peoples later joined its dimensional migration. Gekdraman vampires were expected to continue operating under Zi You. 4402 4408 4424

The Gekdraman defection was negotiated through Camilla True Ancestor. Zi You made acceptance conditional on destroying at least thirteen Decayed Civilization Space-Time Channels and required the vampire True Ancestors to kill Dracula and seize the Blood Cross. Camilla agreed to approach other True Ancestors for support. 4370

Its withdrawal plan encompassed not only citizens, legions, and accumulated wealth, but entire important demonized worlds, including several Top-Level Evil Tide Planes. Its leaders planned to complete their withdrawal from Decay Time-Space within two thousand years. Before leaving the Material Star Realm, Star Wheel Demon Ancestor led a final retaliatory counterattack against the Demon Subjugation Alliance, while the civilization fulfilled promised transfers of planes and resources to its partners. 4409 4424

A secret agreement with the Decayed Civilization allowed it to reject the Anti-Decay Alliance's desire to prolong the war until both civilizations were ruined. Friction instead developed with the Twisted Void Civilization over occupied planes. Evil Tide forces severely wounded three of its Dominators through their superior equipment, prompting Sargeras to recall Kil'jaeden and apologize. Gui Mie later represented the Evil Tide Civilization in the conflict, which it justified as resistance to the invasion of its recently occupied worlds. 4410 4411 4421

The concluding migration period also brought further breakthroughs among its Dominators. Raymond Demon Emperor and Shura Demon Emperor reached Level-8 Peak, while territory exchanges with the Seven Directions Conglomerate secured supplies for life in higher dimensions. The Enlightenment Prophet attempted to destroy its Dimensional Ascension Gate, prompting intervention by the Undying Supreme. 4438

The civilization selectively admitted additional followers before departure rather than accepting every applicant. It rejected Dominators from Top-Level Civilizations and carefully selected only a few Level-7 and Level-8 Dominators with special abilities from large-plane civilizations, including an auxiliary-type Level-7 expert. 4452

Its final lightning counteroffensive against the Demon Subjugation Alliance lasted forty-seven years. Battle-hardened Evil Tide forces killed more than a dozen enemy Dominators and devastated the Capricorn Empire's capital star and surrounding starfields, but withdrew before the capital fell. The campaign left the surviving civilizations fearful of its power despite its earlier losses. 4477

Migration to higher dimensions

After leaving the Material Star Realm, the Evil Tide Civilization entered Demon Cave Time-Space. The environment's demonic and negative-rule attributes were highly compatible with its constitution, but the region was also consumed by unstable rules, Time-Space Rifts, violent energy currents, and attacks from native powers. 5577

Its first 100,000 years in Demon Cave Time-Space were a prolonged survival period. Many citizens suffered mental erosion under the chaotic rules, and the civilization repeatedly approached racial extinction before adapting to the environment and establishing a stable habitat. 5577

Secluded Bamboo Supreme achieved Level-11 Early-Stage in the seventeenth year after the migration, providing a crucial pillar for the civilization's survival. Nevertheless, his personal breakthrough did not spare the wider civilization from the following 100,000-year struggle for adaptation and survival. 5577

From its 100,000th to 200,000th year there, it entered a golden age of expansion. Demon Cave Time-Space's dense demonic Rule Factors became cultivation resources rather than hazards, allowing the civilization to rise into the ranks of local Super Powers. 5577

A Level-13 Lord of Dimension in Demon Cave Time-Space later emerged as a major threat. The Lord had monitored the civilization since its early weakness and harbored hostility toward it as an outsider force. His intended purge of the local Super Powers was interrupted by Evil Swamp Time-Space's cross-dimensional invasion. 5577

Over hundreds of thousands of years in Demon Cave Time-Space, the civilization underwent substantial adaptive evolution. Its members' appearances, energy circulation, bodily structures, and clan habits now differ greatly from the Evil Tide beings known from the Material Star Realm, though their core bloodline marks remain identifiable. 5573

The Evil Swamp invasion continued for more than 100,000 years, with Evil Tide forces consistently fighting on the front line. Encirclement, suppression, and plunder by the invaders further restricted its living space and again brought it close to annihilation. Even while its strength increased, resource supplies struggled to keep pace with population growth and constant warfare. 5573 5578 5580

Saine searched multiple higher dimensions and used his growing commercial network to locate the civilization. Contact in Demon Cave Time-Space eventually led to Zi You's reunion with Secluded Bamboo Supreme after approximately 300,000 years. Despite the emergence of a new generation of experts, Secluded Bamboo Supreme and Smoke Mist Demon Ancestor remained its principal decision-makers. 5573 5577

The main clan's leaders requested urgently needed supplies from the Mechanical Civilization, particularly positive-attribute resources rather than only demonic materials. At that stage, the two civilizations could exchange aid but lacked the technological and energy conditions for large-scale legion transfers across the intervening dimensions. The Evil Tide Civilization's established resource channels and alliances with two other local Super Powers nevertheless offered Saine access to rare, high-grade Rule Treasures. 5578 5579

Purification-type resources were especially important for safely processing Demon Cave Time-Space's excessively harsh local materials. This demand did not represent an abandonment of the civilization's negative-rule cultivation system. The proposed exchange instead paired Mechanical Civilization access to positive-attribute supplies with Evil Tide deliveries of advanced negative-attribute resources, relieving both sides' shortages through trade rather than unilateral charity. 5579

Competition with other Demon Cave civilizations and the threat of the Demon Cave Master continued alongside the Evil Swamp invasion. Secluded Bamboo Supreme nevertheless sent troops to assist the Devil Moon Civilization despite their previous conflicts, seeking to prevent its rapid collapse and the resulting increase in pressure on the Evil Tide Civilization. 5704 5757

Zi You's branch developed separately under Saine's patronage. As the Light Universe's Origin Rules shifted from positive toward neutral attributes, her Evil Tide Civilization gained a major opportunity for growth and transformation. For a period, its development outpaced the Dawn Empire, the restored Minghe Empire, the Darkness Divine Kingdom, and the Sea Civilization among Saine's subsidiary powers. 5143

Rebuilding Demon Cave Time-Space

The Evil Tide Civilization cooperated with Saine and the Mechanical Civilization to merge its origin with Demon Cave Time-Space's origin. This weakened the Demon Cave Master's influence while causing Evil Tide Purple Qi to resonate with surviving local rules. 5830

The operation developed from Saine's decision to replace the Demon Cave Master's connection to the dimensional origin rather than merely reject his influence. Zi You and Secluded Bamboo Supreme had already supplied their civilization's core Origin Rules for research, both to assess dimensional compatibility and to improve their cultivation path through the Mechanical Civilization's Truth System. The Evil Tide Civilization subsequently received official recognition from the Demon Cave Time-Space Origin. 5820 5836

During the grafting, ancient dimensional memories attempted to divert Evil Tide Purple Qi toward decay, corruption, and Origin plunder. Saine used Cube Time-Space and the Ten Thousand Mechanical Law Ring to contain these deviations. His objective was not to eliminate the civilization's extreme attributes, but to retain its local compatibility without reproducing the Demon Cave Master's practice of exhausting the dimension's foundations. 5820

The post-war settlement granted the Evil Tide Civilization nominal native dominion. Recognition by the dimensional origin and the prospect of becoming its leading civilization came with immediate responsibility for an extensively ruined higher dimension. Rather than celebrate, its leaders dispatched additional legions to receive exiles, stabilize ruined sectors, and cooperate with the Mechanical Civilization in establishing a new order. 5841

Following the war, it began receiving exiled civilizations, suppressing unstable rifts, establishing observation nodes, and rebuilding order across ruined star sectors. These accepted peoples are collectively called the Remnant Fire Tribes. 5856

The Remnant Fire policy serves both humanitarian and strategic purposes: it provides endangered civilizations a route to survival while supplying the Evil Tide Civilization with population, vassals, and future grassroots strength. Suitable groups may still be demonized and integrated into its order. 5856

The Demon Cave Time-Space Origin's Rule Will has increasingly favored the Evil Tide Civilization, positioning it to become the region's future leading civilization under the protection and supervision of the Mechanical Civilization and the Destruction Divine Kingdom faction. 5856

Zi You coordinated between the main clan, the Mechanical Civilization, and other local powers during reconstruction. The Devil Moon Civilization provided local information, while the Stein Empire organized resource lists, migration routes, and former defensive-node records to facilitate the takeover. The rescued Lizhu Civilization also recovered and contributed to rebuilding. 5846

Reconstruction remained contested. Some civilizations requested protection while resisting the surrender of resource sectors, older powers hoped to preserve separatist rule after the external patrons departed, and populations contaminated by the Demon Cave Master's remaining influence attacked indiscriminately. The Mechanical Civilization supplied observation and advice and the Destruction Divine Kingdom supplied deterrence, but the Evil Tide Civilization was expected to resolve local governance problems itself. Its rescue operations gradually improved its reputation among native civilizations that had previously regarded its rapid expansion with suspicion. 5846

During the Mechanical Civilization's later golden age, the Evil Tide Civilization continued working alongside the Stein Empire and Devil Moon Civilization to stabilize Demon Cave Time-Space. Their cooperation existed alongside competition for standing and development under their shared patron. 6165

Darkness Demon Ancestor subsequently advanced to Level 12. Although his breakthrough lacked the scale of the Creation God's Level-13 advancement, his aura was exceptionally stable, and the emergence of such an expert caused a distinct rise in the entire civilization's origin. Secluded Bamboo Supreme witnessed the breakthrough with a complicated expression, against the background of the civilization's long-standing shortage of top experts able to secure a firm position in higher dimensions. 6178

Dead Silent Dimension exploration

The Evil Tide Civilization has also begun exploring the Dead Silent Dimension alongside the Decayed Civilization. Its exploration fleets repeatedly encounter Decayed Civilization forces along ancient routes, leading to both cooperation in dangerous ruins and disputes over decayed materials and demonic remains. 6189

Its involvement began after Saine approved Zi You's request to participate, recognizing the dimension's suitability for Evil Tide forces experienced in decline, pollution, and chaotic rules. Several decades later, a temporary cross-dimensional passage opened near the Gray Nebula, and Zi You arrived with an exploration force whose first vessels were three giant War Arks covered in dark-purple demonic runes. Their arrival immediately heightened tension within the Decayed Civilization's encampment. 5993

Compared with the Decayed Civilization's gradual, environment-focused recovery efforts, the Evil Tide Civilization is faster-moving, more expansionist, and better supplied for resource allocation. Skynet records the results of both civilizations' expeditions and apportions subsequent Mechanical Civilization investment according to merit. 6189 6179

Zi You remains responsible for the Evil Tide Civilization's operations while its greater resource-allocation capacity supports its more aggressive exploration model. This differentiated development has established the Evil Tide Civilization as the Mechanical Civilization's principal force in Demon Cave Time-Space, while the Decayed Civilization focuses on restoring the Dead Silent Dimension. 6189

Power Structure

The civilization is strictly hierarchical and strength determines status. Even a Level-6 Peak combatant may be killed without consequence if a Dominator-class superior chooses to do so. 3365

The Pure-Blooded Demon Race remains the ruling population. Demonized races from conquered civilizations are treated as second-class citizens, despite accounting for more than 70% of the lower-level population after the civilization's vast expansion. 3437 2421

Technological fleets and their non-pure-blooded operators have also been described as servant units comparable to slave creatures, with non-pure-blooded races characterized as third-class citizens in that account. Their inherited expertise supplements the civilization's capabilities without making technological peoples a ruling pillar of its system. 3437

Although its hierarchy is severe, its upper leadership displays strong institutional cohesion. Once the Supremes reach a consensus, the civilization can rapidly concentrate its forces and enact unified policy. 3705

Access to upper-echelon information is tightly restricted: a creature must reach at least Level-6 Peak to gain even limited knowledge of high-level secrets. The Supremes themselves deliberate before launching a full-scale war against a new Top-Level Civilization. Institutional cohesion does not imply uniformly harmonious personal relations, as individual Demon Emperors can maintain cold or antagonistic relationships. 2420 2422 2788

The authority of low-ranking pure-blooded commanders is partly embedded in the civilization's inherited rule system. Historical Level-9 interventions first strengthened Demon Commanders' control over lower-ranking demons, then extended this control to demonized lifeforms, allowing Level-2 commanders to direct some Level-3 demonized creatures. 2421

As Lord of Evil Tide, Zi You receives continuing energy and rule feedback from the growth of the civilization under her command. She voluntarily shares a substantial portion of its Origin Power with Darkness Demon Ancestor, Brilliant Blue Demon Ancestor, and promising younger Demon Ancestors, supporting their cultivation alongside her own. 5472

Abilities & Warfare

Evil Tide Assimilation

Evil Tide Assimilation is the civilization's foundational method of conquest. It spreads demonic traits through creatures, worlds, and entire societies, allowing conquered populations to become part of the Evil Tide's military and social structure. 2420 2422

• Infection is generally gradual rather than instantaneous; purple marks and Evil Tide moss can produce subtle negative effects before full demonization occurs. 2442
• Once a world's rules are thoroughly rewritten, newly born lifeforms develop obvious Evil Tide traits and obey higher-ranking Evil Tide creatures. 2426
• Demonization can absorb even foreign Dominators, who may become Devil Emperors and gain increased Combat Power. 2421 5549
• Conquered worlds can be remade into demonized worlds where Evil Tide forces receive effects comparable to Mother Plane Blessing Power. 2969
• The civilization can selectively preserve a conquered civilization's inheritance through controlled demonization, rather than relying exclusively on extermination. 4408
• Compulsory demonization does not require a target to already desire rebellion, distinguishing it from the Decayed Civilization's Decay Transformation. 3732
• During ordinary battlefield advances, direct eradication and the harvesting of slain enemies' matter and energy are often preferred to immediate mass conversion; large-scale replenishment follows the demonization of conquered worlds. 2426
• Evil Tide Power affects machinery as well as living beings. Within demonized warships it acts as a resistance factor that obstructs magical control, although Saine's Mechanical Cataclysm could still influence the vessels to a limited degree. 2775
• The civilization incorporated captured Evil Swamp beings, including Level-8 Dominators, into its forces through demonization. 5549
• Plane Wills and Plane Origins can themselves be demonized. Mass killing in occupied worlds can facilitate this corruption, making the conquest of a plane part of the transformation process rather than merely a military occupation. 3069 3476
• Foreign Dominators subjected to compulsory demonization are typically defeated and captured first; most ordinary alien populations are converted after their worlds and Plane Origins have been thoroughly occupied and demonized. 3883
• Exposition Sect cultivators used the Jade Purity Immortal Technique to cleanse accumulated Evil Tide Factors approximately every half year. Leaving such contamination untreated for two consecutive years could result in demonization. 2775
• Evil Tide corruption once affected Saine's intelligent robots and part of Sky Net. A severed, demonized portion of the network condensed into a purplish-red Rule Crystal that Bright Blue Demon Ancestor gave to Purple Colony Demon Emperor. 2828
• During fighting against the Decayed Civilization, wounded mid- and lower-level Decayed troops could be demonized, while Evil Tide troops could likewise undergo Decay Transformation. The two powers' different rule mechanisms did not prevent reciprocal conversion on these battlefields. 3748

Evil Tide Hearts

Evil Tide Hearts, or Evil Hearts, are the energy cores of Evil Tide creatures. They are crystals containing exceptionally dense power. 2805

• Once their demonic strange power is removed, their performance and value can exceed Wizard Civilization Energy Essence and Immortal Domain Immortal Jade. 2805
• Pure bloodline and possession of an Evil Tide Heart are the defining criteria for membership in the Pure-Blooded Demon Race. 2424
• Following his Level-9 advancement, the Undying Supreme created the Evil Tide Heart as a Civilization Supreme Treasure and bestowed it upon Mist and Haze Demon Ancestor to aid recovery and future growth. 4430
• The Supreme Treasure was formed from the Undying Supreme's own extracted heart. It greatly amplifies surrounding Evil Tide Power and provides battlefield-wide rule reinforcement to Evil Tide Dominators and legions. 4430
• Dominator-class Evil Hearts can retain substantial Omnipotent Soul power, making them recognizable and highly valuable to civilizations experienced in fighting Evil Tide Dominators. 2875 2876

Interstellar Evil Tide Passages

The civilization uses immense purple vortices as interstellar expedition passages. These passages allow its forces to traverse dozens or even hundreds of starfields during campaigns. 2419

• The vortices possess a strange, seemingly living aura capable of disturbing ordinary minds. 2419
• A passage can connect directly to the consciousness of a high-ranking commander, as seen with Demon Ancestor Candela. 2419
• Vanguard forces commonly conduct reconnaissance before Dominators descend, reflecting a more cautious expansion doctrine against unknown regions. 2418
• The Infinite Passage, a Civilization Supreme Treasure, extends Evil Tide Vortices for the transport of immense legions and high-ranking commanders across star regions. Even while it was sealed by Aoziman, the civilization's remaining teleportation technology drew praise from the Wizard Civilization's space specialist Thales Cansin. 4065
• The Infinite Passage later served as the principal logistical instrument of the Ten Thousand Year Strategy, accelerating resource integration and supplying specialized materials from other star regions and time-spaces. 4171
• The network could link its Material Star Realm battlefields with the Flowing Light Retrospective World into a coordinated whole, greatly improving deployment speed and war efficiency. The dimensional battlefield was subsequently divided into specially marked war zones at the suggestion of Saine and other experts. 4131
• Candela's sealing seriously impaired the Infinite Passage and restricted the civilization's ability to employ long-range leapfrog tactics. 2804

Adaptive warfare and resource utilization

Evil Tide forces adapt readily to unusual rule environments and incorporate military methods seized from conquered civilizations. 2854 3479

• Fallen enemies and even deceased Evil Tide creatures may be processed to replenish demonic energy or grant survivors new abilities. 2512
• The civilization fields demonized technology fleets inherited from the destroyed Battleship Armor Civilization. 3479
• It deploys demonized ancient-tree forces derived from the Fallen Leaf Civilization. 3479
• Its armies can use sheer legion scale to pressure or hunt Dominator-class opponents. 3869
• Purple Colony Demon Emperor's support powers can raise nearby combatants by entire minor realms and drastically enhance lower-level troops. 2788
• The civilization has drawn on the legacies of conquered civilizations to develop methods for restoring Dominator Souls and recovering battle-damaged high-level combatants. 2826
• While it can operate and demonize advanced technology, mechanics and delicate technological research remain comparative weaknesses of the Pure-Blooded Demon Race. 3267 2486
• Assimilated races from technological and active-evolution civilizations help compensate for research deficiencies among pure-blooded experts. 2486
• Some Battleship Armor-derived vessels possess heavier external defenses and more advanced technology than standard contemporary Galente Federation warships. Pure-blooded commanders nevertheless historically disdained relying on defeated civilizations' weapons. 3479
• Despite its large variety of Dominator Soul recovery items, its resource-processing efficiency is not necessarily superior to that of its rivals, and it lacked restorative pills comparable to the Immortal Domain's Nine Revolutions Golden Pill. 3702
• Its demonized-world defenses can alter the allegiance of later generations: life born in Sky Prison Fire World identified with the Evil Tide rather than the world's former rulers, the Yan Emperor Divine Clan. 2969
• Civilization Wars can be followed by explosive growth across its population, from ordinary demons to Dominators. One mobilization produced seven newly advanced Level-7 Demon Emperors for the coming Wizard Star Region war. 3365
• Specialized demonized artisans can forge and repair World-Class Secret Treasures, helping make such equipment widespread. Repairing Civilization Supreme Treasures remained much less certain, creating an incentive to seek Saine's assistance. 3895
• Evil Tide forces can repurpose the remains of fallen senior experts. Zi You delivered Dragon Roar Demon Ancestor's corpse and the shattered Teeth of Sharpness to Saine so that he could continue fighting in another form and the fragments could be put to use. 4172
• Its equipment advantage could offset limited numerical superiority and depleted Dominator Souls. During the confrontation with the Twisted Void Civilization, even Demon Emperors carried a Civilization Supreme Treasure and a Supreme Treasure fragment, contributing to the defeat of three opposing Dominators. 4410

Calculation, infiltration, and rule enhancement

Despite its reputation for raw aggression, the Evil Tide Civilization employs calculation methods comparable in function to a supercomputer. These methods help it identify vulnerable civilizations, estimate battlefield opportunities, and choose expansion routes. 2420 2422

• It has infiltrated opposing alliances, including through the corruption and demonization of hostile Level-7 Dominators, to obtain strategic intelligence and fracture enemy coordination. 4219
• In Demon Cave Time-Space, Evil Tide Purple Qi can resonate with surviving local rules and enhance the activity and combat effectiveness of Evil Tide main-clan and branch legions. 5830
• The civilization's adaptive evolution allows it to withstand and eventually exploit exceptionally harsh demonic rule environments. 5577
• Ordinary divination and prophecy were heavily disrupted by the Material Star Realm's rejection of the civilization, making its specialized calculation methods particularly important. 2420
• Its infiltrated Dominators were sometimes left inactive to penetrate enemy leadership more deeply and gather intelligence for a larger future operation. 3371
• Evil Tide Purple Qi combines characteristics of demonic rules, racial fortune, civilization origin, and tidal power. It is more active and expansionary than Demon Cave Time-Space's traditional Demonic Origin. 5820
• Its compatibility with Demon Cave Time-Space enables it to endure residual sinister influences of the former Demon Cave Master that would be difficult for other civilizations to bear. 5836
• It deployed infiltrating forces into the Despair World to investigate ancient civilization relics, particularly the remains of Top-Level Civilizations that had won Dimensional Hegemony. 2485
• Civilization development generates Origin Power and rule feedback that can support its leaders' cultivation. The advancement of a sufficiently powerful member, such as Darkness Demon Ancestor at Level 12, can in turn elevate the civilization's collective origin. 5472 6178

Known Civilization Assets

• Civilization Supreme Treasures — The Evil Tide Civilization possesses more than ten Civilization Supreme Treasures, excluding further treasures plundered from defeated civilizations. A later account places its total holdings at more than twenty. 2420 2804
• Evil Tide Crown — A Civilization Supreme Treasure created by the Level-9 Undying Supreme and granted to Demon Emperor Raymond. 4430
• Giant Axe of Destruction — A Civilization Supreme Treasure created by the Undying Supreme and reserved for Ogrimmar, the Destruction Demon Emperor. 4430
• Evil Tide Heart — A Civilization Supreme Treasure created by the Undying Supreme and bestowed upon Mist and Haze Demon Ancestor. 4430
• Mystic Black Axe — Wielded by One-Eyed Demon Ancestor during the Flank Battlefield counterattack. It later appeared under the Enlightenment Prophet's control together with One-Eyed Demon Ancestor's corpse puppet. 4059 4227
• Teeth of Sharpness — A Civilization Supreme Treasure wielded by Dragon Roar Demon Ancestor. After his death, its shattered remains were supplied to Saine together with his corpse. 4059 4172
• Strange Fire Cauldron — A Civilization Supreme Treasure revealed after Demon Ancestor Kai Huang destroyed the Crimson Hot Flame Star. 3844
• Demonized war fleets — Savage, heavily armored fleets based on the technological inheritance of the Battleship Armor Civilization. 3479
• Specialized dimensional materials — Can supply the Mechanical Civilization with rare darkness-, Evil Tide-, and decay-attributed resources obtained through its interdimensional activities. 6195 6185
• Infinite Passage — A Civilization Supreme Treasure central to interstellar Evil Tide Vortices, troop transport, and dimensional-war resource coordination; it was previously sealed by Aoziman. 4065 4171
• Ancient forbidden artifacts — At least two exceptionally extreme Civilization Supreme Treasures; an early account associates ancient forbidden artifacts with its first- and third-generation Level-9 Beings.
