As Saine launched a counterattack, the surrounding Emperor Flame grew livelier, revealing the power of the Yan Emperor Divine Clan’s living fire.

Saine discussed the shared victory over the Centipede Demon Emperor with Mei Flame Emperor, crediting Shan Flame Emperor and the Iron-Blood Civilization alongside his own forces. Mei Flame Emperor praised Saine and Gali and invited them to keep working with the Yan Emperor Divine Clan, while signs of other Dominator casualties showed that the wider war remained costly.

• Saine told Mei Flame Emperor that Shan Flame Emperor had helped kill the Centipede Demon Emperor and that the victory belonged to both their sides.

Saine and his party left the Metal Graveyard War Zone and spent more than ten years returning to the Wizard Civilization, where they learned how the Evil Tide Civilization was advancing toward the Minghe Empire’s Mother Plane. The chapter left Saine and his companions preparing to report to Befu as the Minghe Empire’s defenses neared collapse.

Before beginning, he asked how likely the Minghe Empire was to survive the Evil Tide Crisis, and the computer estimated its chances at about one-fifth.

• Saine gave Dao Dali a Seven Revolutions Golden Pill, and Dao Dali returned to his assigned plane after learning that the next destination would be the Netherworld Empire Battlefield.

• Saine asked the Super Quantum Computer about the Minghe Empire’s chances of surviving the Evil Tide Crisis, and it calculated a probability of 21.6666666666...%.

Saine assessed the Minghe Empire’s slim odds against the Evil Tide and saw that Wizard Civilization was using the conflict to buy time while preparing defenses. After spending twenty years inspecting the Galente Federation and its industries, he left with a demand for five hundred million combat legions and a promise to recommend Merrick as commander of a future Dominator-level fleet.

• Saine reviewed the Super Quantum Computer’s estimate that the Minghe Empire had only about a one-in-five chance of surviving the Evil Tide crisis and concluded that Wizard Civilization was preparing defensive lines across its frontier.

After returning to the Wizard World, Saine studied five Emperor-Level Cultivation Methods deduced by the Super Quantum Computer and considered how they could aid his research. He then received Befu’s deployment order and set out with allied legions and a Federation fleet to garrison the Nether Fertile Sea in the Minghe Empire.

• Saine discovered that the Super Quantum Computer had completed or created five Emperor-Level Cultivation Methods from the materials he provided.

Saine arrived in the Cosmos Great World Star Region with a massive coalition army, only to learn the teleportation array to the Minghe Empire would be unavailable for thirty years. He prepared to regroup in the region, now largely controlled by Wizard Civilization and populated by allied forces and refugees.

• Merrick Marshal, the Icarus Conglomerate, and City of Steel’s mechanics assembled enormous forces in the Challenger Star Territory alongside Saine’s troops.
• Saine led the gathered armies toward the Cosmos Great World and the Netherworld Empire Battlefield, where Befu and Wizard Civilization’s command headquarters had already advanced to the Minghe Empire’s outer perimeter.

• Saine observed that Light Dimension Remnants relied on Wizard Civilization for support and had adapted to its customs, while mercenaries and some Immortal Domain forces also occupied the region.

Saine and the others saw Endless Light fire toward the Netherworld Empire Battlefield, disrupting nearby spacetime and preventing them from using the Interstellar Teleportation Array. The blast also greeted Mist and Haze Demon Ancestor’s Evil Tide forces as they arrived at the Minghe Empire Battlefield, leaving the battle’s casualties and several missing Dominators unknown.

• Saine watched Endless Light fire toward the Netherworld Empire Battlefield and reflected on its power to annihilate a vast star region.

• Mist and Haze Demon Ancestor grew wary of the opposing forces’ weapon, while Zi You noted that Dark Chestnut Demon Emperor, Nine Dove Demon Emperor, and others had lost contact during their passage through the Evil Tide Vortex.

Mist and Haze Demon Ancestor informed Zi You of the heavy casualties Evil Tide Civilization suffered in Wizard Civilization’s Endless Light strike, then assigned her a safer war zone and reinforced her forces. Meanwhile, Saine’s army was cleared to travel to the Nether Fertile Sea, a medium star region in the middle and rear of the Minghe Empire.

• Mist and Haze Demon Ancestor learned from Six-Winged Demon Ancestor that the Endless Light strike had killed five Demon Emperors and grievously injured seven, while the Minghe Empire had also lost powerful fighters.
• Mist and Haze Demon Ancestor told Zi You the surprise attack would be harder to repeat, and Zi You proposed infiltrating the Minghe Empire to investigate the weapon and assess its limits.

• Saine and the other Wizard Civilization armies were permitted to pass through the Interstellar Teleportation Array, and Saine learned that his army would garrison the Nether Fertile Sea.

Saine and the Ashes Group army arrived in the Nether Fertile Sea, an important but relatively quiet hub in the Minghe Empire Battlefield, and began preparing its defenses. While Saine settled his forces and accepted his daughter Nicole's deployment, Merrick Marshal rapidly built extensive fortifications against a possible Evil Tide attack.

• Saine and his companions traveled smoothly to the Minghe Empire, where he reluctantly agreed that Nataya and Lina could bring Nicole to the battlefield.
• A Level-6 Pharaoh received the Ashes Group army, and Moke Bali guided them to garrison the Nether Fertile Sea, where they were tasked with establishing defenses and teleportation arrays.
• Saine noted that Tourmaline had stayed in the Wizard World to accompany Bai Xing as she prepared for a possible breakthrough to Dominator.
• Saine issued garrison orders after arriving in the Nether Fertile Sea, while Merrick Marshal immediately requested military supplies and began building extensive defensive lines and deploying weapons.

Saine coordinated defenses and studied the Yan Emperor Divine Clan’s cultivation methods as the Evil Tide Civilization intensified its assault across the Minghe Empire. His experiments culminated in reviving Optimus Prime, whose upgraded body could rival a Half-Step Peak Despairer.

• Saine approved Merrick Marshal’s requested resources and left him to build a metal defensive line in the Nether Fertile Sea Star Territory.
• Saine reviewed reports showing the Evil Tide Civilization attacking across the Minghe Empire and its borders while the allied forces counterattacked near the ruined Duolongkan Star Territory.

• Decepticons embraced Optimus Prime and welcomed his brother back.

Saine revived 56 high-ranking Intelligent Robots and sent them to join the Nether Fertile Sea Star Territory garrison before the Evil Tide Civilization launched a Dominator-level assault. Saine’s forces gained a slight advantage in the defensive battle, but on the Minghe Empire front, the Sixth Pharaoh King and two Level-7 Pharaoh Kings were trapped by the Evil Tide Civilization’s Time-Space Crystal Diamond.

• Saine revived 56 high-ranking Intelligent Robots, including Jin Tieshou, Optimus Prime, and Vanguard, and ordered them to join Merrick Marshal’s garrison.
• Seven Demon Emperor-level powerhouses attacked the Nether Fertile Sea Star Territory, where Merrick Marshal’s defenses turned the assault into a deadlock.
• Saine led his Mechanical Legion into the battle and fought the late Level-7 Fissure Bone Demon Emperor as the defensive forces gradually gained an advantage.
• The Sixth Pharaoh King killed a wounded Level-8 Demon Emperor near the Duolongkan Star Territory, then the Time-Space Crystal Diamond trapped him and two Level-7 Pharaoh Kings in an alternate space.
