Saine reunited with Rose and learned that Faelun Continent had undergone major changes, including a Dominator’s breakthrough and signs that more could follow. Rose suspected the Fate Stone Slab’s owner, possibly an Eighth-Level Dominator, had returned and halted the Saint Calamity, while Saine and Rose resolved to pursue the conquest through an artificial Era of Annihilation.

• Rose questioned Saine about his strength, and he revealed that he had Dominator-class combat power.
• Rose told Saine that a Dominator had emerged in Faelun Continent about five hundred years earlier and that two more beings seemed close to breakthroughs.
• Rose explained that Faelun Continent’s unusual surge in power resembled events in the Immortal Domain Civilization about two hundred thousand years before.
• Rose suspected the Fate Stone Slab’s owner had returned to Faelun Continent as an Eighth-Level Dominator and brought it a path for outward expansion.
• Rose said the Saint Calamity had been artificially halted, and Saine and Rose prepared to impose their own Era of Annihilation rather than abandon the conquest.

Rose and Saine assessed Faelun Continent’s growing strength and discussed recruiting powerful allies for the war. They ended by comparing their preparations, as Saine revealed that he had recruited many forces as well.

• Rose said Naige'er would deal with the likely Level-8 Dominator, and Saine recalled Naige'er's injuries from the previous Civilization War.
• Rose identified the God of Justice as Faelun Continent’s newly advanced Level-7 Dominator and named Lady of the Night Shar and the God of Elements as likely future Dominators.
• Rose warned Saine that Mystra, the Seven-Colored Dragon God, the Blood War Lord, sea gods, and ancient sleeping gods could also threaten their campaign.
• Saine and Rose agreed that Faelun Continent’s rising strength made the war more difficult and that the Purgatory demons who had defected to them would support their side.
• Rose said she had recruited devils and demons from the Kada Star Thief Group and the Bairen Empire’s Dragon Knight Legion, which sought young dragons and Dragon Eggs.
• Rose asked how many allies Saine had recruited, and he sheepishly said he had brought in quite a lot.

Saine and Rose planned their campaign to Faelun Continent, where Saine learned that Arcanists he had once taught had grown into a powerful movement opposed by the gods. The invasion was set for seventy-one years later, and Saine decided to seek Master Naige'er’s support before recruiting further allies.

• Saine asked whether Lady of the Night could join their camp, but Rose explained that the Purgatory demons had been targeted and that Lady of the Night was unlikely to ally with them.
• Rose told Saine that Flynn, Ronaldo, and Obiye had helped establish the Arcanist profession, which had spread Truth-seeking, challenged the divine systems, and created Floating Cities.
• Rose explained that the Arcanists had diverted pressure from the Purgatory demons and had become the main targets of the God of Justice and the Justice League.
• Saine and Rose agreed to send troops to Faelun Continent in seventy-one years.
• Saine asked to meet Master Naige'er to confirm his intentions, and Rose directed him to the top floor of the True Spirit Tower.

Saine invited Naige'er to support the coming war against the Faelun Continent, then attended Green and Sherry's wedding with his family and friends. The chapter ended with Tourmaline asking Saine for an even grander wedding of their own, and Saine agreeing.

• Saine offered Naige'er a Sharu Tail Stinger in exchange for joining the war, but Naige'er revealed he already possessed a nearly complete Sharu specimen and promised to help if Saine faced an enemy he could not handle.
• Saine visited Lina, Mei Kaili, and the others in the Black Domain while making final preparations for the war.
• Saine received Green's wedding invitation and traveled to Green's Annihilation Holy Tower with Nataya, Lina, Tourmaline, and Nicole.
• Saine reunited with Angle at Green and Sherry's lavish wedding, where he learned Green and Angle had both joined the Wizard Civilization's Reserve Potential Dominator Cultivation List.
• Tourmaline asked Saine to make their future wedding grander than Green and Sherry's, and Saine agreed.

After Green’s wedding, Saine invited Green and Angle to join a war plan for the Faelun Continent. He inspected the unfinished Star Harbor and the delivered Space Fortresses, then encountered the Guardian of Summer on his way back to the Land of Ashes.

• Saine considered postponing his weddings to Tourmaline and Gongsun Wudi because of the war and Gongsun Wudi’s impending advancement to Dominator.
• After Green’s wedding banquet, Angle joked about arranging marriages for their children, and Saine invited Green and Angle to join a campaign in the Faelun Continent.
• Saine visited the Star Harbor under construction and inspected his Thunder God Fortress Group and the Space Fortresses delivered so far.
• Saine noted that he would rely on his Intelligent Robots to help operate the Space Fortresses during the Faelun Continent War.
• On his way back to the Land of Ashes, Saine encountered the Guardian of Summer.

Saine declined to rush into the Dominator Realm and mobilized a massive force for the coming campaign against the Faelun Continent. As his allies assembled in the Wild Star Territory, he traveled into Galente Federation space to collect troops and bring the malfunctioning angel Icarus to the battlefield for testing.

• Saine told the Guardian of Summer that he wanted to strengthen his foundation before advancing, and she asked him to notify her before reaching Level 7.
• Saine issued a War Mobilization Order, and Rose prepared a Space-Time Channel to the Faelun Continent in the Wild Star Territory using a Fate Stone Slab fragment.
• Saine and Rose gathered large forces and allies for the campaign, including Blade Queen Lisa, Tourmaline, Bai Xing, and Pan Li, while Master Rogge promised to assist if needed.
• Rose was surprised by the powerful beings and forces under Saine's command, then learned from Meili that he had gone into Galente Federation territory.
• Saine went to bring over Federation legions and retrieve Icarus, whose activation and command systems still had problems, so he could test her in combat on the Faelun Continent.

Saine inspected the nearly completed Dominator-class Angel-Type Robot Icarus at the Sipnas Laboratory Base and insisted on bringing her to the Faelun Continent war despite warnings from the scientists. When Icarus malfunctioned during activation, Saine used the Magic Cube to awaken her intelligence, leaving her recognizing him as her master.

• Saine arrived at the Sipnas Laboratory Base as the Federation legions advanced toward the Wild Star Territory.
• Gailuo showed Saine the nano-particle technology used to upgrade Icarus and other high-level Intelligent Robots.
• Sipnas and Gailuo warned Saine that Icarus was unstable and should not be taken into battle, but Saine ordered them to activate her.
• Icarus awakened, marked everyone except Saine as an enemy, and deployed weapons powerful enough to threaten a Level Seven being.
• Saine pressed the Magic Cube into Icarus, stopping her attack and awakening her intelligence.
• Icarus recognized Saine as her master and affectionately leaned against him while Fumila watched with a changed expression.

Saine awakened Icarus, a timid but Dominator-class Angel-Type Robot, and decided to bring her to the Faelun Continent battlefield for live combat training. He left the Federation scientists at the Laboratory Base with extensive research assignments, then led a growing Angel Legion toward the Wild Star Territory as Wizard Civilization forces assembled for the war.

• Icarus demonstrated Dominator-class power by firing an Energy Collapse Bomb, and Sipnas attributed her timid behavior and reduced output to problems with her previous command system.
• Saine rejected Sipnas's advice to keep Icarus at the Laboratory Base and decided to monitor her during battlefield training on the Faelun Continent.
• Saine forbade the Federation scientists from joining the expedition and assigned them research on upgrading high-level and lower-tier robots.
• Saine left the Laboratory Base with Icarus, more than a dozen high-level Angel-Type Robots, and several hundred thousand standard-model angels, granting them Wisdom Enlightenment with the Magic Cube.
• Saine placed the new angel robots under Icarus's command and led the Angel Legion toward the Wild Star Territory, where he saw Wizard Civilization forces, Zerg creatures, and Titan Giants gathering for the war.

Saine met with Blade Queen Lisa and Goddess of Death Hela as the Titan God Race joined the expedition to Faelun Continent. Lisa gave Saine a repaired World-Class Secret Treasure Ark, which his Magic Cube began absorbing, and Rose then opened the Gate of Space-Time to begin the expedition.

• Lisa arrived in the Wild Star Territory with Hela, Thor, and Loki, and Hela agreed to assist Saine's forces in battle.
• Rose worried that Saine's unexpectedly large army would reduce her share of the spoils while Naige'er remained absent.
• Lisa presented Saine with the repaired Ark and explained that she had strengthened it with some of her Source Law Power.
• Saine's Magic Cube reacted to the Ark and gradually fused with it as Icarus and nearby Wizard Civilization powerhouses watched.
• Rose and Iruike completed the enormous Gate of Space-Time, whose central component was a stone slab.

Befu visited Dragon Mother Danielle as Wizard Civilization began its invasion of Faelun Continent, and they watched the vanguard enter the alien world while wondering whether Lilith would appear. On Faelun Continent, the native gods' Demon Extinction War had driven the demons from the First Layer of Purgatory Space into the Second, where fierce fighting continued.

• Befu visited Dragon Mother Danielle, who described her Poison Dragon Bloodline research and its possible effect on her strength and advancement to Level Eight.
• Befu told Dragon Mother that Lilith had returned a fragment of a High-Level World-Class Secret Treasure and that young forces were beginning a conquest of its world.

• The five divine systems of Faelun Continent united against the Purgatory demons, beginning the Demon Extinction War after detecting an unfamiliar aura from the Wizard Star Region.
• The allied gods captured and killed dozens of God-level Demon Kings and conquered the First Layer of Purgatory Space, pushing the remaining demons into the Second Layer, where the war raged on.

The Five Divine System Allied Forces pushed into Purgatory Second Layer, inflicting heavy losses on the demons as the Blood War Lord prepared his daughter to lead their remnants. He entrusted the Succubus Queen with protecting the Demon Worms in Purgatory Third Layer and preserving the demon race’s bloodline.

• The God of Justice led the Five Divine System Allied Forces against the Purgatory demons, who faced a severe disadvantage despite their home-ground blessings.
• The Blood War Lord reflected that he had started the war to escape Faelun Continent and reunite the demon race with its surviving remnants, led by Carter Gustavo.
• After Purgatory First Layer fell and demon casualties exceeded one-third, the Blood War Lord told the Succubus Queen he might not survive until the Wizard Civilization Legion arrived.
• The Blood War Lord charged the Succubus Queen with holding Purgatory Second Layer and protecting the Gate of Space-Time and the Demon Worms growing in Purgatory Third Layer.
• The Blood War Lord ordered the Succubus Queen to evacuate the Demon Worms through the Wizard Civilization's Space-Time Channel if it opened, so the demon bloodline would survive.

Saine entered the Faelun Continent to reinforce the Purgatory demons and confront the God of Justice, bringing his Mechanical Legion and Combined Fortress Group with him. He activated his Ash Demon form as the fortress group transformed before the startled God of Justice.

• Hela's Titan Giant legions took the vanguard through the Time-Space Gate, while Saine decided to cross over and hold off the God of Justice.
• Saine entered the gate after learning Ming could not join the war because he was attempting to break through to the Dominator realm.
• Saine arrived in the Purgatory Space Third Layer, where the native laws suppressed him, and gave the wounded Succubus Queen, Anna Karenina, a Life Potion.
• Saine summoned his Mechanical Legion and Space Fortresses, then advanced into the Purgatory Second Layer with Fumila and the Titan Giant legions.
• Saine faced the God of Justice, activated his Ash Demon form, and watched his Combined Fortress Group converge and transform as the God of Justice froze in surprise.

Saine joined the battle in Purgatory’s Second Layer, where his Mechanical Legion and the Titan Giants fought the forces of Faelun Continent. The God of Justice’s army suffered heavy losses, but his Holy Knights broke through the allied line, and thousands of dragons then charged toward Saine’s Space Fortresses to plunder them.

• Saine assumed his Ash Demon form, fused with the Thunder God Fortress Group, and ordered his Mechanical Legion to establish a defensive line and fire at will.
• The God of Justice invoked “Justice Will Prevail,” rallied his followers, and led the Justice League army in a renewed charge against the demons.
• The Titan Giant Legion and Saine’s Mechanical Legion met the Justice League’s spearhead, whose troops were devastated by mechanical weapons and Space Fortress cannon fire.
• The God of Justice’s Holy Knight Order charged through the barrage and broke sections of the fragile Mechanical Legion line, killing several Titan Giants.
• A red dragon with Mid-Rank God strength roared, and thousands of dragons charged toward Saine’s Space Fortresses, intent on plundering them.

Saine fought the God of Justice while his Space Fortresses devastated the dragons and Faelun Continent’s legions. As Saine completed the Thunder God Fortress Group Robot’s transformation, the battle escalated into an even Dominator War, while Tyr and the Blood War Lord prepared to continue fighting their own opponents.

• Saine’s Space Fortresses shot down the attacking dragons, including a Dragon God, as Faelun Continent’s Arcanists watched in awe.
• Saine used the Planet Protection Shield and the forbidden spell Blazing Sky Burning to attack the God of Justice and his forces.
• While the God of Justice protected his believers, Saine completed the transformation of more than ten Space Fortresses into the enormous Thunder God Fortress Group Robot.
• Saine struck at the God of Justice, beginning a fierce Dominator War that drove nearby Purgatory demons to flee.
• Tyr encouraged the badly wounded Blood War Lord before charging at Tom, the God of Courage.
• The Blood War Lord rallied the Purgatory demons and led them into battle again.

Saine’s Wizard Civilization forces poured into Faelun Continent while he battled the God of Justice in the Purgatory Space Second Layer. As Faelun’s guardian summoned more gods to resist, Ao recalled how a Black Robe Woman in the Dominator Graveyard had shattered his Fate Stone Slab and wondered who was invading his world.

• Saine fought the God of Justice as Wizard Civilization reinforcements streamed into Faelun Continent through the Gate of Space-Time.
• Native gods struggled against the Wizard Civilization’s Titan, Mechanical, Undead, and Dragon Knight legions and Saine’s experienced followers.
• The God of Elements sensed the foreign invasion and called on more gods, prompting some of the Wings of Nature faction to mobilize their armies.
• Ao recovered in his ancient god hall and remembered meeting a Black Robe Woman in the Land of Divinefall, also known as the Dominator Graveyard.
• Ao recognized that foreign forces had reached the Purgatory Space Second Layer and wondered who they were.

Ao suspected the Chris Civilization had launched an invasion and flew to Purgatory Space to negotiate with its forces. There, Saine’s fight with the God of Justice continued until Hela, the Goddess of Death, arrived as the Wizard Civilization’s second Dominator.

• Ao considered whether the Chris Civilization or the Faceless One World had attacked Faelun Continent, then concluded that the Chris Civilization was the likelier culprit.
• Ao recalled how the Black Robe Woman had defeated him in the Land of Divinefall and feared the threat posed by Top-Level Civilizations.
• Ao decided to confront the invaders in Purgatory Space and flew there from the Ancient God of Gods' Hall.
• Saine continued battling the God of Justice, who used their fight to hone his Dominator Power while underestimating Saine.
• The God of Justice sensed the Wizard Civilization’s true Dominator-level strength when Hela entered Faelun Continent as its second Dominator.

Hela descended into the Faelun Continent and prepared to hold back Ao while more Wizard Civilization forces entered the war. Ao sensed the Fate Stone Slab’s familiar laws and, fearing the terrifying woman who had taken it, considered retreating until he saw Hela instead.

• Hela entered Purgatory Space as Jormungandr, Icarus, and other Wizard Civilization forces followed through the Gate of Space-Time.
• Hela sensed Ao’s Level-8 aura and flew toward the Purgatory Second Layer, intending to keep him from destroying the Gate of Space-Time.
• Wizard Civilization forces urged Jormungandr and Icarus to hurry, while Blade Queen Lisa and other hidden powerhouses considered joining the battle.
• Ao recognized the Fate Stone Slab’s law fluctuations and feared that the Black Robe Woman who had taken a fragment had come to Faelun.
• Ao considered fleeing until he saw that the figure emerging from the Purgatory Third Layer was Hela, an unfamiliar Level-7 Peak main god.

Hela attacked Ao in Purgatory, where the injured Level-8 God Above Gods struggled to suppress her before drawing on Faelun Continent’s power to push toward the Fate Stone Slab fragments. After Hela paused at a message, Ao raced toward the Third Layer, saw Saine fighting the God of Justice with the Thunder God Fortress Robot, and decided he wanted the fortress for himself.

• Hela attacked Ao, and he recognized that the Level-7 main god could contend with him despite his higher level and injuries.
• Ao unleashed Faelun Continent’s Power of Rules and drove toward the lower layers of Purgatory, intending to seal the Space-Time Channel and reclaim his Fate Stone Slab fragments.
• Hela tried to block Ao’s advance, but he could only slow him as they moved through the Second Layer Space.
• Hela received a message and paused, allowing Ao to speed toward the Third Layer Space.
• Ao saw Saine battle the God of Justice with the Thunder God Fortress Robot and decided that the fortress should belong to him.

Ao approached the Gate of Space-Time in Purgatory, but Naige'er and other Wizard Civilization Dominators used the Fate Stone Slab to activate the Faelun Continent’s seal and trap him. Ao realized the wizards were connected to Lilith, while Jormungandr and the invasion forces continued entering the plane.

• Jormungandr and Icarus squeezed through the Gate of Space-Time as Ao and Hela approached it.
• Ao rushed for the Fate Stone Slab fragment, but Naige'er and several Dominators on the other side used the slab to restrain him.
• Naige'er triggered the Faelun Continent’s Saint Calamity seal, preventing even Level 8 Dominators from leaving the plane.
• Ao recognized that Naige'er and Rogge’s powers resembled Lilith’s and demanded to know their connection to her.
• Naige'er said they came from the same world as Lilith and threatened to put Ao on his laboratory table, prompting Ao to unleash his divine power.

Ao escaped Naige'er’s suppression but found the Faelun Continent’s barrier had tightened, trapping him as Wizard Civilization’s invasion began. A rule-meteor shower heralded an unprecedented Saint Calamity, and the God of White Bone, Mystra, and the goddesses of Luck and Misfortune sensed the approaching Twilight of the Gods.

• Ao broke free of Naige'er and the others, retreated from the Gate of Space-Time, and discovered the thickened barrier made escape from the Faelun Continent difficult.
• Naige'er laughed as meteor showers spread from Purgatory Space across the Faelun Continent, marking a Saint Calamity unlike those before it.
• The God of White Bone watched the meteors and recalled the prophecy that the calamity occurring every hundred thousand years would be especially severe.
• Mystra traveled west toward Purgatory Space as gods across the Faelun Continent observed the meteor shower.
• Timora, the Goddess of Luck, and Benshaba, the Goddess of Misfortune, appeared together on the Purgatory Space Second Layer and recognized the Twilight of the Gods from their mother's prophecy.

Ao fled through Purgatory as Naige'er’s blockade trapped him inside Faelun Continent, and Rogge was forced to enter the world as Wizard Civilization’s vanguard. Jormungandr and Icarus also made it inside, while Jormungandr’s arrival and Ao’s retreat shook the morale of Faelun’s defenders.

• Ao fled toward Purgatory’s outer space, but Naige'er explained that Faelun Continent’s reinforced Rules Barrier would trap him there.
• Naige'er and Blade Queen Lisa pressured Rogge into entering Faelun Continent first, and Yue'er helped him squeeze through the Gate of Space-Time.
• Jormungandr and Icarus entered Faelun Continent after Naige'er and the others distracted and confined Ao.
• Hela pursued Ao from Purgatory Third Layer Space to First Layer Space, while Ao defended himself in disarray despite being stronger.
• Jormungandr flew toward Hela, and his appearance over the Second Layer battlefield caused Faelun’s defenders’ morale to collapse and local dragons to flee.

Icarus arrived in Purgatory’s Second Layer Space and went into a rage after seeing the damage to Saine’s Thunder God Fortress Robot, then unleashed her arsenal against the Faelun forces. Her overwhelming firepower intensified the rout, leaving even the Blood War Lord questioning whether she was truly an angel.

• The World Serpent appeared as Ao retreated, and the Faelun Continent’s allied forces broke into flight.
• Saine continued fighting the God of Justice with his Thunder God Fortress Robot, adapting and growing stronger despite the damage.
• Icarus arrived, analyzed the damage to Saine’s fortress, and entered red heat from anger.
• Icarus activated her Doomsday Weapons and AT energy shield, then flew toward the battlefield in free-fire mode.
• Icarus’s firepower overwhelmed the Faelun gods and accelerated the retreat, while the Blood War Lord wondered whether she was really an angel.

Icarus and Saine battered the Faelun Continent forces in Purgatory, while their followers helped drive the invading legions toward victory. After seven years of fighting, the Faelun gods had suffered repeated defeats and needed to regroup before they could challenge the Wizard Civilization forces again.

• Icarus struck the God of Justice with seven Doomsday Weapons, then joined Saine in a relentless bombardment that left the god's battlefield in a crater.
• Over seven years, the Dragon God System, Sea God System, Dark Alliance, Justice League, and Wings of Nature Faction all struggled against the invaders and their mounting casualties.
• Saine relied on powerful followers including Dwarf Chicken and Double-Cannon Gorilla, and told Double-Cannon Gorilla they would revisit his request for the Wild Star Territory after the war.
• Double-Cannon Gorilla led a charge against the God of Courage, Tom, whose forces were overwhelmed by the stronger invaders.
• The Faelun Continent allied forces fell into a disadvantage and would need to retreat, reorganize, and prepare before facing the invasion again.

After the God of Justice withdrew, Saine regrouped with his allies and learned that two more Dominators might soon emerge in Faelun Continent. The war plan continued, but the possible awakenings in the Wings of Nature and Dark Alliance territories left the battlefield’s next stage uncertain.

• Saine declined to pursue the retreating God of Justice and met Double-Cannon Gorilla, who had captured the God of Courage Tom.
• Saine revealed his past connection to Tom and recalled how the Faelun Continent experience had helped launch his rise, then dismissed Tom as a source of intelligence.
• Hela reported that Ao had withdrawn and warned Saine that two regions showed signs of new Dominators approaching birth.
• Saine said Level-8 reinforcements would handle Ao while his forces advanced according to plan.
• Saine gave Tom to Titan God Tyr, whose prey Double-Cannon Gorilla had captured, and secretly promised Double-Cannon Gorilla the ruined Wild Star Territory planes to rule.
• Hela identified the two regions with abnormal law fluctuations as the eastern and southwestern power centers of Wings of Nature and the Dark Alliance.

Saine learned that the Twenty-Sixth Wizard Alliance Assembly would take place in 567 years and planned to finish the Faelun Continent War before it began. His reunion with Cuilisi and the Azure Blaze Sect members brought renewed encouragement and revealed Pinas’s surprising relationship with an Asura Race Princess.

• Saine and the other Wizard Civilization forces prepared for Master Rogge’s arrival while learning that Faelun’s native gods had begun uniting under the Justice League.
• Cuilisi told Saine that the Twenty-Sixth Wizard Alliance Assembly would be held at Howling Stone World in 567 years, and Saine said the Faelun Continent War could be finished within five hundred years.
• Cuilisi praised Saine’s strength and urged him to take down another Large Alien World before the Assembly.
• Gagaru and Pinas teased Saine about winning Luluenman’s affection before they could, then Pinas appeared with the Ghost Fiend Maiden, an Asura Race Princess she seemed to have won over.
