After conquering the Abyss World, Zi You tried to recruit the wounded Ice Snow Queen, whose resistance to demonization threatened to end in mutual destruction.

She ordered a withdrawal from the Abyss Starfield, while deciding to bring the Ice Snow Queen along and continue trying to demonize her.

• The Mist and Haze Demon Ancestor explained that the Three Supremes had decided to change the Evil Tide Civilization’s development strategy.
• Zi You concluded that her father remained committed to Dimensional Hegemony because the Evil Tide Civilization had never found a Top-Level Civilization stronger than itself.

The chapter described the Minghe Empire’s brutal defense of the Maganno Meteorite Swarm against the Evil Tide Civilization and the reinforcements Secluded Bamboo Supreme was preparing to send. It ended with the Evil Tide creatures privately condemning the Minghe Empire’s flaying customs as monstrous.

• Secluded Bamboo Supreme prepared to send more than two hundred Demon Emperors to the Netherworld Empire Battlefield, with Mist and Haze Demon Ancestor set to command the main force and Zi You to accompany her.
• The Maganno Meteorite Swarm became a bloody front where control had changed hands seven times and both the Minghe Empire and the Evil Tide Civilization had suffered heavy losses.

• Evil Tide creatures privately complained about the Minghe Empire’s custom of flaying enemies and wearing their skins.

The Minghe Empire struggled to hold the Maganno Meteorite Swarm after the One-Eyed Demon Ancestor drove its forces back, while the Wizard Civilization withdrew to establish layered defenses. As veteran commander Puka sensed an approaching danger in the meteorite swarm, the chapter left the threat unrevealed.

• The Evil Tide Civilization resumed its assault on the Maganno Meteorite Swarm, and the One-Eyed Demon Ancestor helped it seize two-thirds of the front.
• The Wizard Civilization Expeditionary Force withdrew to prepare defenses farther back, while the Minghe Empire sent forces to assist.
• Dragon Mother Danielle earned the Minghe Empire's respect by confronting the One-Eyed Demon Ancestor and later advancing to Level 8.
• Puka, a veteran Minghe Empire commander, sensed a growing ill omen as he watched the distant meteorite swarm.

Puka sensed that the Evil Tide attacks were about to intensify and warned Pharaoh King Gantis, allowing the Minghe forces to prepare. The Evil Tide Civilization then launched a massive offensive across every battlefield, leaving Gantis facing five Dominators and the Minghe Empire under attack on all fronts.

• Puka noticed the Maganno Meteorite Swarm front had grown unusually quiet and reported his suspicions to Pharaoh King Gantis.
• Gantis strengthened defenses across the surrounding war zones, and Puka and Aisha prepared for battle as the Purple Evil Tides surged into view.
• Gantis confronted five Evil Tide Dominators, choosing to delay them rather than flee and leave his front exposed.
• The Evil Tide Civilization launched an all-out offensive across the Maganno Meteorite Swarm, the other main battlefields, and every smaller war zone.
• Evil Tide forces opened new fronts as the Minghe Empire and Wizard Civilization struggled to respond to the overwhelming assault.

Black Knight Woerta watched the Evil Tide Civilization press its attack on the Minghe Empire’s central battlefield, where Mokaste once again used the Seal Chains’ Third Unsealing to fight three Devil Ancestors. Mokaste charged at them despite his depleted Dominator Omnipotent Soul, and the battle left him facing a coordinated defense backed by Civilization Supreme Treasures.

• Woerta and the Fanged Evil Dragon faced the approaching Evil Tide main army on the battlefield guarding the route to the Minghe Empire’s Mother Plane.
• Woerta sensed that Mokaste had activated the Seal Chains’ Third Unsealing as the Evil Tide forces advanced.
• Mokaste fought Demon Ancestor Gui Mie, Saite Demon Ancestor, and Maddilan Demon Ancestor while the Six-Winged Demon Ancestor avoided confronting him directly.
• The three Devil Ancestors coordinated their attacks and defenses, relying on their Civilization Supreme Treasures to withstand Mokaste’s Half-Step Level-9-level power.
• Mokaste struck Saite Demon Ancestor’s Deity Set hard enough to deform the armor and make him grunt, but the blow did not inflict a decisive injury.

The Evil Tide Civilization tried to wear down Mokaste so Demon Fallen Supreme could demonize him, while the Wizard Civilization ramped up its support for the Minghe Empire. Cuilisi arrived in the Endless Fire Domain and told Saine that Kaseda had advanced to level 8, before they learned of the crisis that could draw them to the Netherworld Empire Battlefield.

• Demon Fallen Supreme ordered Maddilan Demon Ancestor, Saite Demon Ancestor, and Demon Ancestor Gui Mie to weaken Mokaste so they could capture and demonize him.
• Demon Fallen Supreme stayed on the Light Dimension Star and transformed three captured Dominator-class Kings of Monsters into his lackeys.
• Maddilan and the others awaited Smoke Mist Demon Ancestor's arrival, while Woerta and his black knight legion joined the fighting alongside the Minghe Empire.
• The Wizard Civilization increased its military support for the Minghe Empire and recalled its True Spirit Dominators as the Evil Tide offensive intensified.
• Cuilisi arrived in the Endless Fire Domain, met Saine and the others, and reported that Kaseda had reached level 8 two hundred and thirty years earlier.

Cuilisi arrived at the Endless Fire Territory Battlefield, where Saine welcomed her and described the Yan Emperor Divine Clan’s war against the Evil Tide Civilization. After Saine and the Azure Blaze Sect presented her with rare resources, Cuilisi left the expedition’s plans to Saine and hurried to study the Rule Fires.

• Cuilisi admired the Endless Fire Domain, and Saine explained its origins and the allied forces’ recent advances against the Evil Tide Civilization.
• Saine and the Azure Blaze Sect members gave Cuilisi resources they had collected on the battlefield.
• Saine presented Cuilisi with seven rare Rule Fires, including the Blood Cry Flame he had traded for with a Golden Apple.
• Saine proposed visiting the Void Land to investigate the Void Devouring Flame, and Cuilisi entrusted the expedition’s direction to him.
• Cuilisi praised Saine and rushed to the laboratory to study the Rule Fires.

Cuilisi’s laboratory research was interrupted when the Wizard Civilization expedition encountered an Evil Tide counterattack, prompting her to enter her first Dominator battle. She charged a Ghost Moth Demon Emperor while Saine joined her fight, and the battle remained underway.

• More than a dozen Evil Tide Dominators attacked the expeditionary forces, disrupting Cuilisi and Saine’s experiments.
• Cuilisi transformed into an Azure Flame Giant and entered the battlefield, choosing to face a Level-7 Early-Stage Ghost Moth Demon Emperor.
• Saine transformed into an Ash Demon and joined Cuilisi, while the Thunder God Fortress Group provided long-range fire support.
• Cuilisi strengthened herself with Azure Blaze and Flame Wings, then charged the retreating Ghost Moth Demon Emperor.
• Saine cast an Ash Web over the Ghost Moth Demon Emperor’s back.

Saine joined the battle to rescue besieged Demon Subjugation Alliance legions and helped turn the fight against the Ghost Moth Demon Emperor. As Saine, Cuilisi, and the Thunder God Fortress Robot nearly surrounded it, the Demon Emperor burned its Dominator Omnipotent Soul and tried to escape.

• Saine and his allies intervened in the battle, knowing the Demon Subjugation Alliance would reward them for breaking the siege.
• Saine and the Thunder God Fortress Group quickly overwhelmed the Ghost Moth Demon Emperor, which recognized him as the killer of the Greedy Phosphorus Demon Emperor.
• Saine activated the Staff of Ashes and the Faceless Mask, while he fused the Magic Cube with the Thunder God Fortress Robot to strengthen their attack.
• Saine, Cuilisi, and the Thunder God Fortress Robot formed a three-against-one encirclement as Icarus, Fumila, the Azure Dragon Saber Practitioner, and others held off separate Dominators.
• The Ghost Moth Demon Emperor burned its Dominator Omnipotent Soul, sent its Ghost Moth Army into suicidal assaults, and prepared to flee; Saine warned that it was trying to run.

Saine, Cuilisi, and the Thunder God Fortress Robot fought Ghost Moth Demon Emperor after it tried to flee, badly injuring it but failing to stop its escape. Saine chose not to pursue and checked on the injured Cuilisi, who was still exhilarated by her first Dominator battle.

• Ghost Moth Demon Emperor burned its Dominator Omnipotent Soul and tried to break through the blockade, choosing to flee past Cuilisi and the Thunder God Fortress Robot rather than face Saine.
• Cuilisi met Ghost Moth Demon Emperor with her Elemental True Body and Azure Blaze while Saine prepared Doomsday Magic and the Thunder God Fortress Robot charged in.
• Saine, Cuilisi, and the Thunder God Fortress Robot inflicted severe injuries on Ghost Moth Demon Emperor, including tearing off one wing, but it escaped at high speed.
• Saine decided against pursuing Ghost Moth Demon Emperor and collected the sight of valuable battle spoils, including a translucent gray moth wing.
• Saine flew to Cuilisi and noticed black Ghost Moth Flame and injuries on her; Cuilisi remained absorbed in the excitement of her first Dominator battle.

Saine and his allies fought through an Evil Tide ambush and rendezvoused with an Iron-Blood Civilization legion they had helped save. Afterward, Saine learned that other war zones had also faced powerful assaults and grew suspicious of the unfamiliar Evil Tide Dominators.

• Cuilisi recovered enough to join the battle, helping Dao Dali attack the Tridacna Demon Emperor while Saine went to support Fumila.
• Saine’s allies and the remaining Dominators fought for more than ten years until the Evil Tide legion withdrew rather than risk being surrounded.
• Saine noticed that many of the Evil Tide Dominators were unfamiliar to him and wondered whether the enemy had sent new reinforcements.
• Saine met two Iron-Blood Elders and three Demon Subjugation Alliance Dominators, who thanked his group for rescuing them and promised their reward.
• The Iron-Blood Elders told Saine that several other war zones had suffered powerful Evil Tide assaults before their own legion was attacked.

Saine and the Wizard Civilization Expeditionary Force's other leaders considered whether to continue toward the Void Land despite worsening battles and Ota's stubborn wound. They decided to proceed, leaving Saine to inform Cuilisi, who was examining three Red Pearls taken from the Tridacna Demon Emperor.

• Saine learned that an Evil Tide Dominator's spike had left Ota with a corrosive wound that Gali and Benjamin could not cleanse, and they said a necromancy master or light-element Dominator might be needed.
• Saine questioned whether the group should still visit the Void Land as unfamiliar Evil Tide Dominators arrived and nearby fronts came under attack.
• Benjamin argued that the remote Void Land was worth visiting to study its Void Devouring Flame, and Saine was tempted by its similarity to his Ash Fusion Law.
• Ota said his injury was minor and supported the trip, so Saine went to tell Cuilisi that they would continue.
• Saine found Cuilisi examining three Red Pearls made from the Tridacna Demon Emperor's essence blood after she and Dao Dali drove it away.

Saine gave Cuilisi the news that the group would continue toward the Void Land, then departed with his companions after helping the Iron-Blood Civilization forces left behind. Their journey took eleven years after an Evil Tide Legion ambushed them, and they continued onward without pursuing its retreating Demon Emperors.

• Dao Dali gave Saine two fire-element Red Pearls, and Saine promised to compensate him with something more valuable later.
• Saine told Cuilisi about the group's plans to proceed to the Void Land, and she left the decision to him while admiring her pearls.
• Saine left low-level Mechanical Legions to assist Elder Moke's Iron-Blood Civilization forces before his group departed.
• Elder Moke told his companion that he had come to trust some Wizard Civilization powerhouses as comrades-in-arms.
• Saine's group encountered a smaller Evil Tide Legion ambush, defeated most of its forces, and let its two Demon Emperors retreat.

Saine and the others gathered Void Devouring Flame in the Void Land before receiving Befu’s order to leave the Endless Fire Domain and reinforce the Netherworld Empire Battlefield. They chose to obey the transfer order over the Yan Emperor Divine Clan’s request for aid and withdrew from the war zone.

• Saine, Gali, Benjamin, and their subordinates collected Void Devouring Flame and other Rule Flames from the empty Void Land.
• Saine and Benjamin concluded that the Yan Emperor Divine Clan legions had been transferred away and discussed the Evil Tide Civilization’s renewed attacks across multiple battlefields.
• Befu sent Saine and the others an urgent order to leave the Endless Fire Domain and transfer to the Netherworld Empire Battlefield.
• Saine and the others received an emergency request for aid from the Yan Emperor Divine Clan, but decided that helping could trap them in the war zone and delay their deployment.
• Gali ordered the group to obey Befu’s transfer order and withdraw after collecting the Void Devouring Flame.

Saine studied the Void Devouring Flame and treated Ota Knight’s lingering wound while his group withdrew through the Endless Fire Domain. The Evil Tide Civilization launched a sweeping counteroffensive against the Yan Emperor Divine Clan, with three Devil Ancestors appearing at the front lines.

• Saine researched how the Void Devouring Flame could absorb the Undying Purple Flame and considered using a Super Quantum Computer to help develop an Emperor-Level Cultivation Method.
• Saine treated Ota Knight’s shoulder wound with light-element magic and advised him to seek help from Holy Daughter Michelle after they returned to the Capricorn Empire.
• Saine’s group continued withdrawing toward a Yan Emperor Divine Clan teleportation array, expecting to reach it in about two years.
• Evil Tide legions bypassed the front lines and attacked Yan Emperor Divine Clan territories and planes near its core star region.
• Demon Ancestor Lei Ji, Demon Ancestor Kai Huang, and Liè Chǐ Demon Ancestor appeared at the forefront of the Evil Tide counteroffensive.

As the Evil Tide Civilization’s counteroffensive spread across the Endless Fire Territory Battlefield, Saine and the Wizard Civilization expeditionary forces faced pressure from both the retreating Yan Emperor Divine Clan and their own need to return home. Mei Flame Emperor persuaded Saine to negotiate support for the beleaguered Ancient Burning World Cluster, leaving the group preparing to bargain over the mission and its compensation.

• Three Devil Ancestors appeared on the Endless Fire Territory Battlefield as the Evil Tide Civilization launched attacks across the Yan Emperor Divine Clan’s territory.
• Saine and the Wizard Civilization expeditionary forces encountered further battles while withdrawing, and the Yan Emperor Divine Clan condemned their retreat from the front lines.
• Mei Flame Emperor asked Saine and his forces to halt their withdrawal and defend the Ancient Burning World Cluster for around thirty years, offering rare flames and incomplete Emperor-Level Cultivation Methods.
• When Saine said his forces needed to return to Wizard Civilization, Mei Flame Emperor threatened to have the Yan Emperor Divine Clan destroy the Interstellar Teleportation Array, then softened her tone and raised her offer.
• Saine consulted Gali and the others, then decided to negotiate the garrison duration and compensation with Mei Flame Emperor; Gali offered to join him.

Saine and his allies signed a twenty-year contract with Mei Flame Emperor to defend the Ancient Burning World Cluster in exchange for substantial resources, then traveled there to reinforce its besieged supply bases. Saine warned Mei Flame Emperor that Evil Tide Civilization might be using attacks on the Yan Emperor Divine Clan’s rear to draw its Dominators away from the front, and the chapter ended as the Wizard Civilization Expeditionary Force struck the besieging army.

• Saine, Gali, and their allies negotiated a twenty-year garrison contract with Mei Flame Emperor, securing Rule Fires, other resources, and a Fire Spirit Crystal while agreeing to do their utmost to protect the supply stores.
• Saine warned Mei Flame Emperor that Evil Tide Civilization might be luring Yan Emperors away from the frontlines with attacks on the rear, and she ended the call after promising to consider his analysis.
• Saine and his allies traveled for four months to the Ancient Burning World Cluster, where two Yan Emperor Divine Clan Dominators faced five besieging Devil Emperors.
• The Wizard Civilization Expeditionary Force attacked the Evil Tide Army from behind, with its Dominators fighting and the Thunder God Fortress Group firing Light of Annihilation strikes.

Saine and the Wizard Civilization Expeditionary Force arrived at the Ancient Burning World Cluster and helped the Yan Emperor Divine Clan turn the battle against five Evil Tide Demon Emperors. The Demon Emperors retreated, while Demon Ancestor Lei Ji continued pursuing a confrontation with the Yan Emperor Divine Clan’s First Flame Emperor.

• Yan Emperor Divine Clan fighters fought fiercely against the invading Evil Tide Army, and a Level-5 Yan Emperor creature self-destructed near a Demon Emperor.
• Saine and the Wizard Civilization Expeditionary Force attacked from behind, helping the Yan Emperors reverse the encirclement of their forces.
• Ota charged Bone Cave Demon Emperor, while Saine and Cuilisi confronted Ghost Moth Demon Emperor and Dao Dali faced Tridacna Demon Emperor.
• Ghost Moth Demon Emperor urged the other Demon Emperors to withdraw, and Demon Emperor Tianxuan led the five Demon Emperors and their armies into retreat.
• Saine and the others pursued the withdrawing Evil Tide forces as they carried off Yan Emperor Divine Clan resources.
• Demon Ancestor Lei Ji complained to Demon Ancestor Kai Huang that he wanted to attack the Yan Emperor Divine Clan’s Mother Plane and force First Flame Emperor to fight.

Demon Ancestor Lei Ji pursued First Flame Emperor and prepared to test himself against the Yan Emperor Divine Clan’s strongest fighter, while Demon Ancestor Kai Huang remained at his side. Liè Chǐ Demon Ancestor avoided that fight and targeted Nigrode, hoping to claim a Civilization Supreme Treasure and turn his fortunes around.

• Demon Ancestor Lei Ji recalled that he had ordered raids on the Yan Emperor Divine Clan’s rear starfields and had wanted to attack its Mother Plane, but Demon Ancestor Kai Huang had refused.
• Demon Ancestor Lei Ji said he could match Star Wheel Demon Ancestor’s achievement and set his sights on First Flame Emperor and his two Civilization Supreme Treasures.
• Demon Ancestor Lei Ji told Demon Ancestor Kai Huang to attack the Strange Fire Cauldron and use its Rule Fire, while Demon Ancestor Kai Huang remained silent.
• Demon Ancestor Lei Ji contacted the badly injured Liè Chǐ Demon Ancestor and mocked his recent failures, then directed him to keep fighting Nigrode.
• Liè Chǐ Demon Ancestor agreed to target Nigrode, suspecting the Iron-Blood Elder possessed a Civilization Supreme Treasure, and laughed as he planned to let Lei Ji handle First Flame Emperor.

First Flame Emperor was trapped in the Endless Fire Domain by Demon Ancestor Lei Ji and Demon Ancestor Kai Huang, while the Yan Emperor and Iron-Blood forces resumed fighting the Evil Tide Civilization. Grand Elder Nigrode faced Liè Chǐ Demon Ancestor, and the battle ended with the First Flame Emperor using the Strange Fire Cauldron to fight back.

• Demon Ancestor Lei Ji and Demon Ancestor Kai Huang blocked First Flame Emperor’s retreat and trapped him between them in the Endless Fire Domain.

• First Flame Emperor battled Demon Ancestor Lei Ji and Demon Ancestor Kai Huang, wielding the Strange Fire Cauldron and Nine Thousand Flame Heavy Ruler.
• First Flame Emperor unleashed the Strange Fire Cauldron’s Rule Fire to empower the Yan Emperor forces and swallowed a crimson Crystal Pill.

First Flame Emperor fought Demon Ancestor Kai Huang and Demon Ancestor Lei Ji on the Central Battlefield, using the Nine Thousand Flame Heavy Ruler and Strange Fire Cauldron to endure their combined attacks. As he continued to hold out with his Dominator Omnipotent Soul, Saine and the others watched from the Ancient Burning World Cluster and judged the battle’s power to rival or exceed past conflicts.

• First Flame Emperor struck Demon Ancestor Kai Huang with the Nine Thousand Flame Heavy Ruler, but Kai Huang seized it and slashed First Flame Emperor across the chest with the Undying Demon Blade.
• Demon Ancestor Lei Ji attacked with the Sky Thunder Shuttle, and the Strange Fire Cauldron absorbed only half the lightning strike before First Flame Emperor was badly hurt.
• First Flame Emperor restored his chest wound with his Dominator Omnipotent Soul and counterattacked by unleashing a powerful pillar of fire from the Strange Fire Cauldron.
• Saine, Benjamin Master, and Cuilisi sensed the battle from the Ancient Burning World Cluster, and Saine compared its scale with earlier wars involving Half-Step Level-9 beings.

After four years of relative calm, the Evil Tide Army invaded the Ancient Burning World Cluster in greater force, including the Level-8 Fire Velvet Demon Emperor. Saine and the other defenders fortified the cluster’s core and secured Yan Emperor Divine Clan supplies, while Saine judged that they should keep defending the region unless Befu ordered them to aid the Minghe Empire.

• In the fourth year of their garrison duty, Saine and the others faced an invasion by eight Evil Tide Dominators, including the Fire Velvet Demon Emperor and the returning Ghost Moth Demon Emperor and Tridacna Demon Emperor.
• Saine and the other defenders concentrated on twenty-seven Complete Rule Planes and fifty-four bases after abandoning outlying planes and supply bases.
• Saine’s Mechanical Legion used metal fortifications modeled on Merrick Marshal’s defensive deployments to strengthen the central and core regions.
• The two Yan Emperor Divine Clan Dominators approved Saine’s request to use stored resources for the defense, and Benjamin found three unfamiliar top-tier Rule Flames in abandoned warehouses.
• Ota Knight worried that the expeditionary force was profiting while the Minghe Empire fought fiercely, and Saine replied that Befu would issue a new order if their help became necessary.
