• Karazan fled the abandoned starfield toward the Evil Tide Army, away from Wizard Civilization.

• Faceless One World, Chris Civilization, and Pantera World joined the Wizard Alliance with little opposition, while Faelun Continent won approval through the Earth Mother Goddess’s goodwill and transit support.

The chapter ended by revealing that the Church’s Holy Light Power restrained Evil Tide Factors and had protected Kaseda from deeper corruption.

• Saine judged the Demon Subjugation Alliance’s representatives and promises as unreliable after its members had withheld support during the Minghe Empire War and now offered Wizard Civilization little more than vague assurances.

The Qin Court Plane stood alone against the Evil Tide after the Immortal Domain’s retreat, with the First Emperor refusing to abandon his people despite overwhelming odds. When news of the siege reached the Immortal Domain’s rear, the plane had not yet fallen but was completely sealed off by Evil Tide forces.

• The First Emperor refused Master Tongtian’s offer to withdraw the Qin Army and kept the Great Qin Empire at the front of the war.
• The Qin Court Plane grew into a large Cultivation World while its people and Xuan Yong Guards defended its battered Great Walls.

• The First Emperor and his forces remained surrounded as the Evil Tide sealed off the Qin Court Plane without yet conquering it.

The First Emperor led the Great Qin Empire’s surviving forces in a final charge against the Evil Tide Army as the Qin Court Plane neared its fall. After a catastrophic battle, he remained wounded and leaning on his sword before Demon Emperor Luan Rong, with the empire’s last signs of life nearly extinguished.

• The First Emperor called on the people of Qin to fight rather than retreat and led the Xuan Yong Heavy Guards out of the capital.
• The First Emperor charged at Demon Emperor Luan Rong while the Xuan Yong Heavy Guards advanced in an unbroken formation against the Evil Tide Army.

• The First Emperor, gravely wounded and unable to stand without leaning on his Son of Heaven Sword, faced Demon Emperor Luan Rong as the empire’s last life faded.

The First Emperor and the Great Qin Empire made their final stand against the Evil Tide Civilization on the Qin Court Plane, but the First Emperor’s last charge began a battle he could not win. Meanwhile, the Immortal Domain’s Reincarnation Underworld continued to give many of its fallen a chance at rebirth, sometimes with memories of their past lives intact.

• Demon Emperor Luan Rong reflected on how the Great Qin soldiers had helped the First Emperor kill Demon Emperor Shi Mu, and urged the dying First Emperor to surrender.
• The First Emperor heard Bai Qi’s last battle cry as the final Flesh and Blood Great Wall fell and Bai Qi’s presence vanished.
• The First Emperor charged Luan Rong again, and Luan Rong stopped the other wounded Demon Emperors from intervening and met him in the final battle.

• The Reincarnation Underworld allowed some especially fortunate or resolute beings to retain memories of their previous lives.

Houtu opened seven levels of the Reincarnation Underworld to relieve the overwhelming tide of souls, creating hundreds of millions of Ghost Cultivators. The First Emperor awakened as a Ghost Emperor and led his soldiers toward the front line against the Evil Tide Army.

• As the Netherworld Land became overwhelmed by incoming souls, Houtu ordered five Underworld Kings to open seven levels of the Reincarnation Underworld.

• Wizard Civilization established small- and medium-scale teleportation links with Pantera Planet and began developing the world with Pantera World's cooperation.
• Nettini's alliance supplies and explanation of Magic Coins earned Wizard Civilization gratitude, though most Pantera World beings did not understand the coins' value.
• Aitokan questioned Bada'er about the Evil Tide Civilization after seeing Wizard Civilization send more legions and Dominators to Pantera World.
• Bada'er described the Evil Tide threat and his experience in the Minghe Empire War, prompting Aitokan to recognize Pantera World's lack of experience with war.
• Aitokan asked Bada'er what resources Pantera World should buy with its hundreds of millions of Magic Coins.

Saine led a massive Wizard Civilization force toward Pantera World, where its resources and strategic position promised to attract numerous allies and Dominators. Meanwhile, Wizard Civilization secretly prepared to fire the Endless Light Launch Device from the Pantera front, without Saine’s knowledge.

• Saine traveled with his fleet toward Pantera World, planning to visit the Zerg, the Minghe Remnant Clan, and old friends along the way.
• Befu designated Pantera World Wizard Civilization’s foremost frontier position after learning about its God Metal and Kajared Gems.
• Saine gathered his enforcers, Dominator-class fleets, and allied forces, while Lina and Karl stayed behind to continue their advances toward Dominator status.
• Saine joined the Zerg main force on the way to Pantera World, where Zerg Engineers had already established bases and most legions would remain outside the plane.
• Wizard Civilization secretly surveyed the Pantera starfield for a firing position for the Endless Light Launch Device, which had become ready to fire again.
• Wizard Civilization planned to have other True Spirit Dominators oversee the launch without informing Saine, hoping the strike would aid the forces gathering near Pantera World.

After more than a decade of travel, Saine and the others reached Pantera World, where Wizard Civilization’s development effort was extracting enormous resources under his command. Saine agreed to meet the native Dominator Aitokan, while Lisa remained in seclusion, apparently preparing to reach Level-8 Peak.

• Saine and the others arrived near Pantera World, whose immense resources were being developed and shipped to Wizard Civilization.
• A Level-6 Magician told Saine that Aitokan, Pantera World’s Level-7 Dominator, wanted to meet him as the highest-ranking Wizard Civilization authority in the region.

Saine persuaded Aitokan to strengthen Pantera World's defenses and signed a four-billion-Magic-Coin order with him while promising to address pollution. Meanwhile, the Evil Tide’s advance drove countless refugees into Ant-Man Civilization territory, where Sword Saint Carell urged the Ant-Man Civilization to retreat and join the Wizard Civilization.

• Aitokan thanked Saine for the Wizard Civilization’s aid, and Saine said Pantera World would become a frontline against the Evil Tide.
• Aitokan raised pollution caused by the Galente Federation and the Minghe Remnant Clan, and Saine promised corrective measures.
• Saine advised Aitokan to invest in defenses and offered access to fortresses, including a discount on Planetary Fortresses.
• Aitokan signed a four-billion-Magic-Coin order with Saine for defensive equipment.
• The Evil Tide’s expansion drove trillions of refugees from their homes toward Ant-Man Civilization territory.
• Sword Saint Carell urged the Ant-Man Civilization to abandon its Mother Plane and join the Wizard Civilization in retreat.

Sword Saint Carell assessed the Ant-Man Civilization and urged it to decide whether to flee the approaching Evil Tide Civilization, but Ant Queen Ilisa’s indecision and disagreement among the Ant Kings left its response unresolved. The chapter ended with the White Ant King proposing that the Ant-Man Civilization plunder the fleeing refugees rather than prepare to face the Evil Tide.

• Carell learned that the Ant-Man Civilization had six Dominators and had built its fertile Mother Plane through the labor of its Ant-Men.
• Carell found that late Level-7 Ant Queen Ilisa had little combat experience and struggled to make a decision about relocating the civilization.
• Carell judged that the orderly Ant-Man Civilization would be a strong fit for the Wizard Alliance despite its history of expansion and conquest.
• Carell had formed a close friendship with the Level-7 Peak Red Ant King, while he clashed with the warlike White Ant King.
• The White Ant King proposed that the Ant-Man Civilization seize resources from the fleeing civilization refugees.

Carell failed to persuade Ant-Man Civilization to retreat from the approaching Evil Tide Crisis, despite the Red Ant King and several other Ant Kings being well disposed toward him. Knight Mane arrived with Wizard Civilization’s evacuation and recruitment plans and urged Carell to return and preserve his strength.

• Carell recalled how the Black Ant King had refused his offer to split from Ant-Man Civilization and had immediately reported it to Ant Queen Ilisa.
• Carell focused his efforts on persuading the Red Ant King, whose support had helped Ant-Man Civilization become more open to joining the Wizard Alliance.
• The Red Ant King still could not decide to abandon Ant-Man Civilization’s foundations and retreat ahead of the Evil Tide Crisis.
• Carell lamented that Ant-Man Civilization’s losses would weaken the wider defense against the Evil Tide.
• Knight Mane arrived on a reconnaissance mission and told Carell that Wizard Civilization had prepared defenses and rest areas to receive fleeing civilizations.
• Mane urged Carell to return to Wizard Civilization and help recruit and relocate survivors and powerful members of Ant-Man Civilization.

Carell decided to remain with Ant-Man Civilization to help it fight the advancing Evil Tide, while asking Wizard Civilization to coordinate the coming Endless Light strike with the battlefield. Knight Mane warned that Wizard Civilization might prioritize the central front near Pantera World, and the chapter left the upper echelons still discussing aid as they watched the Evil Tide Vanguard’s advance.

• Carell told Knight Mane that Ant-Man Civilization would not retreat unless the Ant Queen ordered it, and that Evil Tide forces would need to deal it a hard blow first.
• Knight Mane informed Carell that Wizard Civilization would soon fire Endless Light at the Evil Tide’s concentrated vanguard forces north of Ant-Man Civilization’s starfield.
• Carell decided to stay and help Ant-Man Civilization, and asked Wizard Civilization to shift or coordinate the strike so it could support the battle and encourage the Black Ant Clan and Blue Ant Clan to join the Wizard Alliance.
• Knight Mane warned that Ant-Man Civilization could face attacks from two or three directions while Wizard Civilization’s upper echelons might aim Endless Light at the central axis near Pantera World.
• Wizard Civilization’s upper echelons took note of Ant-Man Civilization’s potential value but continued discussing how to help as they focused on the Evil Tide Vanguard’s progress toward the front.

The White Ant King raided refugee civilizations fleeing the Evil Tide, undermining the Ant-Man Civilization’s chance to recruit allies. As the Evil Tide Army approached, the White Ant Civilization stopped its raids and prepared its defenses, unaware of how formidable the coming enemy would be.

• The White Ant King intercepted refugee civilizations in Ant-Man territory and turned most of the seized resources over to Ant Queen Ilisa, despite rebukes from the Red Ant King and other Dominators.
• Ant Queen Ilisa mildly scolded the White Ant King but tolerated his actions, encouraging more ant branches to join his raids.
• Carell met the wounded Dominator Tidex, whose decision to flee rather than aid the Ant-Man Civilization led Carell to direct him toward Wizard Civilization territory.
• The White Ant King’s raids drove potential allies away, including refugee forces that the Ant-Man Civilization could have recruited against the Evil Tide.
• As the Evil Tide Army drew within roughly two hundred years of the Ant-Man frontlines, the White Ant King ended his raids and the ant legions assembled along their defensive line.
