• Saine asked whether Master Fa Hai remained at the Silver Soul World Battlefield, then learned that Zi You had arrived in the Wizard Star Region seeking a meeting with Wizard Civilization's high-level.

Zi You asked Saine to slow Wizard Civilization’s advance in exchange for additional starfields, but he refused and said the offensive would intensify. Saine inferred that Evil Tide Civilization was facing a severe internal rebellion and made clear that Wizard Civilization would keep fighting for its own interests while possibly sharing enemies with Evil Tide.

Alice accepted Saine’s assignment to lead the Vanguard Legion after the Faceless King was dealt with, while Saine briefly reunited with his family before the battlefield demanded his attention again. He traveled to Pantera World to begin a Resurrection Experiment using its divine tree and the True Spirit Light of Death Knight Alex.

• Alice speculated that the Decayed Civilization might have destroyed Azeroth Civilization, and Saine agreed to wait for more specimens before testing the theory.
• Saine appointed Alice to lead Wizard Civilization’s armies into the depths of the Evil Tide, with Kaseda continuing to work alongside her.
• Saine spent time with Duan Ning, Tourmaline, and their children, who were delighted by the gifts Duan Ning had brought from the Immortal Domain.

• Saine arrived at Pantera World to use its divine tree in an experiment to resurrect the Overlord-level knight Alex, and asked Mel whether Dark Flame Master had arrived.

Saine conducted a successful Gate of Resurrection experiment on Pantera Planet, using Alex’s preserved true spirit and help from the Dark Flame Master. While the revived figure began to take shape, Saine also assessed the war against the Evil Tide and agreed to have the Icarus Conglomerate restore Pantera Planet.

• Mel told Saine that the Dark Flame Master was expected soon, and Saine ordered the Resurrection Experiment to begin.
• Saine and the assistants used the God Tree and Alex’s true spirit to operate the Gate of Resurrection, with the Dark Flame Master contributing after he arrived.

• Wojin asked Saine to let the Icarus Conglomerate handle Pantera Planet’s restoration, and Saine agreed.

Saine weighed whether building a power base around himself was necessary to lead Wizard Civilization through its postwar recovery. After three years of effort, Death Knight Alex emerged from the Gate of Resurrection, with Luo Bo there to welcome him.

• Saine recognized that his dealings with the Evil Tide, Pantera’s restoration, and its debts had created a closed loop of influence and wealth around him.
• Saine considered how Befu had relied on the legacy of Wizard Civilization’s First Generation Level-9 Knight and concluded that he needed to build a power structure centered on himself.
• Saine judged that decisive leadership suited Wizard Civilization during wartime and recovery, though he questioned whether senior powerhouses would have accepted him as leader in peacetime.
• After three years of resources and work, Death Knight Alex began to emerge from the Gate of Resurrection.
• Luo Bo returned from the frontline to witness Alex’s rebirth, and Alex opened his eyes as silvery-white Death Fire ignited on his brow.

Saine and the Wizard Civilization powerhouses monitored Alex as he slowly recovered his memories after being resurrected, while considering the immense cost and promise of the Resurrection Experiment. When Luo Bo’s arrival triggered Alex’s awakening, Alex manifested his bonded Sword of the Dead and then struck his own face with his left hand.

• Saine and the True Spirit Magicians reconstructed Alex’s body with Death Element Rule Materials, including Silver Flame from the Silver Soul World.
• Alex awoke confused, and Saine recalled how resurrection had left Gomora and Dark Flame Master with gaps in their memories.
• Saine and the other powerhouses weighed the huge resources spent on Alex’s resurrection against its value and the promise of developing Resurrection Arcana.
• For half a year, Saine, Nefka, and the others monitored Alex’s soul as his consciousness and memories gradually recovered.
• When Luo Bo approached, Alex’s soul turbulence surged, and he drew his bonded Sword of the Dead from the void.
• Alex struck his own face with his left hand, and dense Death Silver Flame erupted between his head and hand.

Demon Ancestor Kai Huang prepared to face the Demon Subjugation Alliance’s powerful forces at the Endless Fire Territory Battlefield, while Star Radiance Envoy Oren struggled to assemble a reliable coalition to kill him.

• Oren worried that Safina had not brought the Source Energy Sub-City and that Only-I Venerable’s delay would force changes to the alliance’s war plan.
• The Capricorn Empire refused to send its remaining Royal Fleet Group to the Endless Fire Territory, claiming it would only operate near the Metal Graveyard War Zone.
• Oren grew disheartened as the Capricorn Empire promoted Prince Harris’s uncontrolled fleet’s attacks as a planned imperial counteroffensive while withholding support from Oren’s campaign.

Ogrimmar, a peak Demon King known as the Hammer of Destruction, arrived on the Endless Fire Domain Battlefield after years of campaigns under Du Longtan. As the Demon Subjugation Alliance launched its planned offensive, Ogrimmar prepared to fight the Yan Emperor Divine Clan’s fierce assault.

• Kai Huang endured First Flame Emperor’s blow without faltering.
• Galaxy Star Safina attacked Kai Huang from the side, but her Shockwave Blade failed to pierce his knee guard.

Star Radiance Envoy Oren and other Dominators joined the fight against Demon Ancestor Kai Huang, while Gaia Demon Emperor held off the Black Abyss Star Envoy. Elsewhere, Saine kept Wizard Civilization from advancing too quickly into Evil Tide territory and heard that the Silver Soul World Battlefield remained fiercely contested.

• Star Radiance Envoy Oren used his Star Radiance Domain and struck Demon Ancestor Kai Huang, damaging his Undying Demonic Armor as the attackers gained the advantage.
• Gaia Demon Emperor staked everything on keeping the Black Abyss Star Envoy occupied, while Evil Tide Demon Emperors joined the defense around Demon Ancestor Kai Huang.
• Saine rejected Evil Tide Civilization's request for Wizard Civilization to hurry to their agreed coordinate, choosing to wait for the wars to produce definite results.
• Nefka told Saine that the Immortal Domain was advancing faster than Wizard Civilization and that Di Fa continued to hold the Evil Tide lines against the Silver Soul World legions.

• Master Tongtian demanded that the Death Mourning Civilization withdraw, but Licking King rejected his warning and threatened the Immortal Domain Civilization.
• Master Tongtian flew into a rage and accepted Licking King’s challenge.

The Immortal Domain Civilization rallied behind Hong Hou’s Honeycomb Star Territory, and Master Tongtian led the Intercept Sect army on an expedition against the Death Mourning Civilization. As a long-range teleportation gate was prepared, Duan Ning decided to return and help her brother.

• Master Tongtian ordered the Intercept Sect to support Hong Hou, while the Immortal Domain’s other factions also backed sending troops to the Honeycomb Star Territory.
• Yuanshi Tianzun supported Master Tongtian’s expedition and ordered Guang Chengzi, Yang Jian, and other disciples to stand by.

• Thales Cansin helped the Immortal Domain construct a long-range teleportation gate to the Honeycomb Star Territory.
• After hearing that Duan Po had led the Intercept Sect army on an expedition, Duan Ning told Saine she wanted to return and help her brother.

Saine reluctantly let Duan Ning leave while remaining in Wizard Civilization to command its war efforts. His son Nasi Xiu explored the newly discovered Exile Space-Time, where he recognized a disguised Evil Tide creature and reached for it.

• Saine accepted that he could not leave Wizard Civilization to join Master Tongtian in the Honeycomb Star Territory, and he continued directing the war while monitoring the wider conflict.
• Evil Tide Civilization learned of Immortal Domain's troop movements and hoped Death Mourning Civilization would draw away more of its attention.
• Nasi Xiu, now a Level 7 Dominator who practiced magic, martial arts, and immortality, entered an unknown alternate space-time he named Exile Space-Time.
• After revealing his Dominator status, Nasi Xiu fought through hundreds of Exiles with the Four Swords of Zhuxian, then concealed his strength as a Level-5 Exile.
• At an Exile gathering place, Nasi Xiu recognized a bandaged Level-5 Exile as an Evil Tide creature and reached toward it.

Nasi Xiu confronted a bandaged wanderer in Exile Space-Time after recognizing the concealed Evil Tide aura and learned that the stranger could injure him with Gui Mie Power. The wanderer was Demon Ancestor Gui Mie, who had secretly grown strong enough to wield Level-6 power, and Nasi Xiu attacked him with Dominator Power.

• Nasi Xiu sensed Evil Tide energy beneath the bandages and tried to seize the concealed wanderer.

• Nasi Xiu concluded that the wanderer was a hidden Dominator and accused Evil Tide Civilization of entering Exile Space-Time.
• Demon Ancestor Gui Mie recalled that he had spent over three thousand years in Exile Space-Time and regained the ability to wield Level-6 strength.
• Nasi Xiu attacked Gui Mie again with Saint's Yuan Power while concealing his own Dominator aura.

Nasi Xiu confronted the Demon Ancestor Gui Mie in Exile Space-Time, and their clash with the Gui Mie Blade and Four Swords of Zhuxian wrecked the settlement. Gui Mie fled after identifying Nasi Xiu as a Dominator, but the exilees turned on Nasi Xiu, forcing him to flee after Gui Mie.

• The Demon Ancestor Gui Mie recognized Nasi Xiu as a Star Realm Dominator when he tried to grab it.
• Gui Mie unleashed the Gui Mie Blade and attacked Nasi Xiu with its full strength.
• Nasi Xiu summoned the Four Swords of Zhuxian to block the Gui Mie Blade, and their collision devastated the settlement and harmed nearby exilees.
• Gui Mie fled and broadcast that a Dominator had appeared, urging the exilees to seize Nasi Xiu's Dominator Omnipotent Soul.

• Old Man Xuan Tian saw the Evil Tide Factors on the blade and accused Nasi Xiu and the Demon Ancestor Gui Mie of being allies.

Nasi Xiu and the Demon Ancestor Gui Mie fought Old Man Xuan Tian, whose power and equipment made the clash devastating. When Old Man Xuan Tian claimed the Four Swords of Zhuxian had been stolen from him by Nasi Xiu’s parents, Nasi Xiu attacked with Ten Thousand Swords Return to One, leaving the old man’s hair disheveled.

• Nasi Xiu and the Demon Ancestor Gui Mie joined forces against Old Man Xuan Tian, and their weapons shattered the surrounding space-time.
• Nasi Xiu and Old Man Xuan Tian recognized each other as Dominator-class Beings, while the Demon Ancestor Gui Mie appeared to be only Level-5.
• Old Man Xuan Tian claimed the Immortal Decimating Sword and the other three swords belonged to him and said Nasi Xiu’s parents had stolen them.
• Nasi Xiu halted his attempt to flee after identifying the thieves as his parents and unleashed Ten Thousand Swords Return to One.
• Old Man Xuan Tian blocked the divine sword with a black wooden sword, but Nasi Xiu’s strike cut his hair and wooden hairpin before the old man roared in fury.

Nasi Xiu used One Qi Transforms into Three Purities to survive Old Man Xuan Tian’s attack, then persuaded the Demon Ancestor Gui Mie to join him in battle. As the two fought Old Man Xuan Tian together, Saine remained unaware of his son’s peril and asked Klopp Knight for news from the Frontline Battlefield.

• Old Man Xuan Tian’s black wooden sword targeted Nasi Xiu, who split into three clones to evade the strike and counterattack.

• Saine sensed that Nasi Xiu was not facing a life-and-death crisis and, at General Headquarters, asked Klopp Knight about the Frontline Battlefield.

Saine decided to personally lead an expedition into the Evil Tide to gather intelligence and determine the Wizard Civilization’s future direction. Befu supported him, while the question of whether the Free Blade Civilization would join remained unresolved.

• Klopp Knight reported that the Wizard Civilization could not confirm the situation in the Evil Tide’s central battlefield, and Saine said firsthand intelligence was needed.
• Saine argued that the Wizard Civilization was ready for a period of rapid transformation and said he wanted to investigate the war between the Evil Tide Civilization and the Decayed Civilization, as well as mysteries involving the Black Armor Civilization and Azeroth Civilization.
• Klopp Knight urged Saine not to go personally, but Saine insisted and ordered Befu and Douglas Master to come so he could entrust matters to them.
• Befu and other Wizard Civilization leaders considered Saine’s decision, and Befu supported it, saying the Alliance Dominators might not follow without the Civilization Leader.
• Douglas asked whether the Free Blade Civilization should join the expedition, and Befu told him to ask Saine.

Saine assembled a vast Wizard Alliance expedition and led its vanguard into Cosmos Great World, aiming to strike deep into the Evil Tide. When the Evil Tide forces offered little resistance, Saine declared that the real battlefield lay farther ahead.

• Saine told Klopp Knight that Wizard Civilization would focus on unifying its Star Sector and that he did not intend to remain Civilization Leader for long.
• Saine chose to call the Reverse Mutant and prepared an expedition against the Evil Tide Civilization, promising participating civilizations payment in Magic Coins before the campaign.
• Void King, Qingtian, Little Tenth, Senagalo, Bai Wu Xiang, and other Dominators joined Saine, forming a legion with fifty-three Dominator-Level Combat Powers.
• Naige'er Master secretly agreed to accompany the expedition to investigate the Evil Tide and the Decayed Civilization.
