After Azure Ice Venerable reported on the Demon Subjugation Alliance, Only-I Venerable decided the Myriad Transformations Celestial Venerable World had to join and went to question the recovering Tian Hua Venerable.

• Star Wheel Demon Ancestor reflected on the growing number of civilizations opposing the Evil Tide Civilization and ordered another assault across the Metal Graveyard War Zone.
• Azure Ice Venerable returned to the Myriad Transformations Celestial Venerable World and reported what she had learned about the Nine Stars Plane, the Demon Subjugation Alliance, and the Wizard Civilization to Only-I Venerable.
• Only-I Venerable concluded that joining the Demon Subjugation Alliance was inevitable and that the Wizard Civilization had taken the initiative first.
• Only-I Venerable decided to find out what had happened to Tian Hua Venerable before joining the alliance and flew to the Venerable Hall where Tian Hua Venerable was recuperating.

Only-I Venerable learned that Tian Hua Venerable’s purple crystal sphere had drawn the Alien Civilization’s attack and took it to clear the slander against their world. At the Metal Graveyard frontline, Reverse Mutant’s forces collapsed under the Evil Tide Civilization’s assault, and Saine and Kaseda moved to join the battle.

Saine’s Mechanical Cataclysm forbidden spell unleashed a vast army of mechanical creatures against the Evil Tide, led by a Level-6 Peak Metal Giant. Nearby, newly ascended summoner Shalan called the Dominator-class lightning creature Levos to the battlefield, with more summons still expected.

• Saine’s Mechanical Cataclysm activated hundreds of millions of mechanical creatures from the ruins, forming a silver tide that stopped the Evil Tide’s advance.

• Saine commanded the Thunder God Fortress Robot to attack and unleashed an emerald-green Flame Storm at Lie Kong Demon Emperor.

Saine and his allies defeated Lie Kong Demon Emperor badly enough to make him drop the Guihua Shi heart, but the Reverse Mutant seized it along with his severed arm. Saine traded her a Seven Revolutions Golden Pill for the spoils, then withdrew as enemy reinforcements arrived, with the Reverse Mutant following in hopes of getting the golden core.

• Saine, the Reverse Mutant, and their allies wounded Lie Kong Demon Emperor and tore off one of his arms, forcing him to drop the Guihua Shi heart.
• The Reverse Mutant snatched the severed arm and Guihua Shi heart from Icarus, then began swallowing them.
• Saine offered the Reverse Mutant a Seven Revolutions Golden Pill in exchange for the arm and heart, and she accepted after a brief hesitation.
• Lie Kong Demon Emperor summoned a sphere of flame-law energy as two more Demon Emperors joined the assault.
• Saine called to Icarus and retreated with the Thunder God Fortress Group, while the Reverse Mutant followed to escape the incoming attack and pursue the golden core.

After seventeen years of fighting in the Metal Graveyard, Saine withdrew to the Thunder God Fortress Group and examined the Guihua Shi Heart he had acquired. Its dead owner suddenly spoke to him, offering to teach him the Veil of Bewilderment if he spared her heart, and Saine demanded to know everything about her situation.

• Saine ended his seventeen-year stint on the front lines, where Kaseda took over the battle against the Evil Tide Civilization.
• Saine struck a deal with the Reverse Mutant, obtaining her cooperation in two experiments in exchange for the Guihua Shi Heart and a Dominator arm.
• At the Thunder God Fortress Group, Saine began studying the Guihua Shi Heart and considered using the Dominator arm to make Magic Staffs for Catherine and Felin.
• The Guihua Shi Heart released strange Rule Anomalies and rule beasts, which Saine analyzed and dispersed before preparing to cut into it.
• The heart’s former owner spoke to Saine, asked him not to damage her heart, and offered to teach him the Veil of Bewilderment.
• Saine paused his surgical knife and demanded that the heart’s owner explain her condition and tell him everything she knew.

Saine studied Scarlet’s Dominator heart and learned how the Guihua Shi had preserved her will after death. Scarlet revealed how the Evil Tide conquered her world and identified Zi You as the Dominator who demonized Sheng Huang, leaving Saine reflecting on his past encounter with Zi You.

• Saine discovered that Scarlet’s will remained attached to her Dominator heart through a mystic power unique to the Gui Hua Shi World.
• Saine learned that Lie Kong Demon Emperor had killed Scarlet, preserved her will, and given her heart to his younger brother.

• Saine recognized Zi You as someone he had encountered in the Despair World and fell silent over their opposing paths.

Saine interrogated Scarlet, the remnant spirit of a Guihua Shi Dominator, and learned about her world's prophecy and its transformation into the Demon Hua World. Scarlet asked Saine to take her to Chenghuang Guihua Shi, while Saine reflected on whether demonization could be reversed and on Demon Fall Supreme's role in the Evil Tide Civilization's expansion.

• Saine extracted Scarlet's true name and learned that damage to her Huaxin could erase her last wisp of True Spirit.
• Scarlet explained that Hua Master had predicted a backlash for the Gui Hua Shi World because of its entanglement with fate and Karma, but the world had still fallen into the Demon Hua World.

• Scarlet asked Saine to bring her before Chenghuang in exchange for sharing everything she knew.
• Saine considered the difficulty of reversing Evil Tide demonization and identified Demon Fall Supreme as its most committed architect.

Saine focused on upgrading the Faceless Mask by incorporating the Scarlet Guihua Shi’s Veil of Bewilderment arcane truth and adding the Eye of Insight and Eye of Illusion. He completed the work undisturbed while the Wizard Civilization’s forces performed well in the Metal Graveyard War Zone, and Madam Befu secured a cooperation agreement with the Capricorn Empire.

• Saine decided to incorporate the Scarlet Guihua Shi’s Veil of Bewilderment arcane truth into the Faceless Mask and forge it into a high-grade secret treasure.
• Saine began reforging the Faceless Mask, adding the rules behind the Eye of Insight and Eye of Illusion while drawing on his own alchemical arcane truths.
• The Reverse Mutant interrupted Saine to demand more Seven Revolutions Golden Pills, but Saine had Icarus send her away and insisted she fulfill her experimental obligations before any further trade.

• Madam Befu signed an agreement with the Capricorn Empire’s emperor for cooperation between their civilizations across numerous fields.

• Saine advanced the Faceless Mask into a High-Level World-Class Secret Treasure by adding the Eye of Insight, the Eye of Illusion, and mechanical features.
• Saine explained that he wanted to study Scarlet’s True Spirit and offered to help her live again by transferring it into the Faceless Mask.
• Scarlet agreed to Saine’s experiment, and he began transferring the mystic system rule runes from her Guihua Shi Heart onto the mask.
• Fifteen years later, Ota and Gali sensed both an advancement and the transformation of a high-grade secret treasure in the Eastern War Zone.
• Saine realized he had advanced to Level-7 Mid-Stage as the Faceless Mask glowed, and Scarlet asked whether the experiment had succeeded.

Saine reflected on restrictions that kept powerful beings from freely discussing the Star Realm’s deepest laws, then returned to the battlefield after advancing to Level-7 Mid-Stage. He unleashed two Rule Eyes against three Evil Tide Dominators as Knight Kaseda fought nearby.

• Saine realized that balance-law restrictions had kept him from sharing his discoveries and considered seeking the Northern Witches’ knowledge after the war.
• Saine put on the Faceless Mask, now bearing Scarlet’s True Spirit, and declined to tell Scarlet what he intended to do with her heart.
• Saine flew to the Metal Graveyard front line, where Knight Kaseda was battling the Evil Tide Legion while three Evil Tide Dominators avoided confronting him.
• The Reverse Mutant noticed Saine’s return and looked at him pleadingly, but Saine ignored her and began testing his new Truth Arcana.
• Saine summoned two Rule Eyes and sent their shockwaves toward the three Evil Tide Dominators near Kaseda.

Saine joined the Metal Graveyard battlefield and combined attacks with Kaseda to overwhelm Nightmare Demon Emperor and disrupt the Evil Tide forces. Evil Tide Civilization reinforced the Eastern War Zone, while Saine observed otherworldly Dominators whose summoned legions also wielded powers that countered Evil Tide Factors.

• Kaseda attacked the strongest of the three perimeter Evil Tide Dominators, Nightmare Demon Emperor, as Saine targeted him with Rule Eye beams.
• Saine pierced Nightmare Demon Emperor’s Dream God Domain and struck him and nearby Evil Tide Dominators with illusion-based and reality-based attacks.

• Evil Tide Civilization sent a Level-7 Mid-Stage and a Level-7 Late-Stage Demon Emperor to reinforce the Eastern War Zone after Saine’s battlefield performance drew attention.
• Saine observed two flame- and frost-wielding Dominators summoned by Shalan, along with their legions, and noted that many possessed powers that countered Evil Tide Factors.

The Evil Tide Civilization concentrated an overwhelming force against the Capricorn Empire’s central battlefield, putting its damaged Royal Fleet and the Demon Subjugation Alliance’s future counteroffensive at risk. Prince Hans asked Saine and the other Wizard Civilization powerhouses to send aid as Star Wheel Demon Ancestor and Demon Ancestor Kai Huang led the attack.

• The Evil Tide Civilization intensified its assault on the Capricorn Empire’s central battlefield, where the Royal Fleet Williams and the Dimension Furnace were stationed.

• Star Wheel Demon Ancestor and Demon Ancestor Kai Huang led more than fifty Evil Tide Dominators in a joint attack, including newly arrived Demon Emperors under Kai Huang’s command.
• The Capricorn Empire requested aid from the Demon Subjugation Alliance and the Wizard Civilization as its Royal Fleet faced the threat of annihilation.
• Prince Hans sent Saine and the other Wizard Civilization powerhouses an urgent request to allocate forces to the central battlefield.

Saine agreed to help the Capricorn Empire retreat by clearing an asteroid-belt route, while keeping Wizard Civilization's forces away from the Evil Tide Civilization's strongest fighters. The chapter revealed the Empire's two Civilization Supreme Treasures and suggested its Gold Crystal Mine could become a valuable energy source for Lisa's Zerg.

• Prince Hans asked Saine to clear the asteroid belt near coordinate α507.116E8 so nearly half the Royal Fleet could withdraw, offering compensation and another 2% concession.
• Saine accepted the limited mission, and Wizard Civilization's forces redeployed while avoiding the Star Wheel Demon Ancestor's battle zone.
• The Capricorn Empire's think tank prepared to abandon more than two-thirds of the Metal Graveyard front to preserve the rule pass, Royal Fleet groups, and Dimension Furnace.
• Saine learned that the Empire's two Civilization Supreme Treasures were the Dimension Furnace, carried by the Royal Fleet, and the Gold Essence Generator, based in rear production facilities.
• Saine considered that the Gold Crystal Mine produced by the Gold Essence Generator could serve as a substitute energy resource for Lisa's Zerg as their Inert Crystals dwindled.
