Annihilation Dragon Er'gongde devoured Demon Emperor Wei Gan alive, making him the Evil Tide's first Dominator casualty on the Dimensional Esophagus Battlefield. After learning of Wei Gan's death and Er'gongde's strength, Demon Ancestor Di Fa avoided the dragon and planned to lure the Faceless Beast Dominator into an encirclement.

After Master Tongtian agreed to invite the Buddhism Sect into the war, Befu intervened to help Green, and Silver Soul World also prepared to join the campaign for resources and benefits.

Dipamkara Buddha overwhelmed a Level-7 Dominator, leaving the arriving Silver Soul World forces wary, as Wizard Civilization prepared its own expedition.

Destruction Giant Ape Wukong reflected on the ruins of the Source Energy Civilization and began to suspect that the Path of Strength suited him better than the ultimate path of destruction. As the Bostan Civilization’s defeat neared, news arrived from the Immortal Domain, calling him to join the war against the Death Mourning Civilization.

• The Wizard Civilization and its allies continued to overwhelm the Bostan Civilization, whose defeat had become nearly inevitable.

• Wukong received war intelligence from the Immortal Domain and set out to help fight the Death Mourning Civilization.

Destruction Giant Ape Wukong left the Bostan Civilization Battlefield and returned toward the Immortal Domain, while Yin and the God of the Stars prepared to send captured resources to Wizard Civilization. During a cross-region teleport, Wukong reunited with Fa Hai and his brother Li Qingshan, who had met Fa Hai’s new undead disciple, Xiao An.

• Fa Hai explained that Dipamkara Buddha was in the Honeycomb Star Territory and that he had accepted Xiao An, an undead creature, as his disciple.
• Li Qingshan asked the little skeleton her name, and she answered, “Xiao An.”

Xiao An discovered a Decay Law Mark infecting Demon Sky Great Sage, revealing that the Power of Decay had reached the Immortal Domain. Wizard Civilization mobilized support and began making Anti-Decay Potions, while Alice studied the King of Faceless Ones in her laboratory.

• Xiao An pointed out a Decay Law Mark on Demon Sky Great Sage, who destroyed it and asked her to help find others contaminated by decay.

• Alice delayed her trip to the Immortal Domain to continue a critical experiment, dissecting the cooperative King of Faceless Ones in her laboratory.

Alice paused her research on the King of Faceless Ones and went to the Honeycomb Star Territory after learning that Demon Sky Great Sage Li Qingshan could remove some Decay marks. Working with Xiao An and Immortal Domain forces, she helped identify and treat contaminated beings, while Immortal Domain’s hostility toward the Decayed Civilization hardened.

• Immortal Domain grew enraged at the Decayed Civilization for contaminating its people, and the Destruction Giant Ape asked Fa Hai about his and Xiao An’s ability to detect abnormal rule factors.

The Evil Tide Civilization exploited its home-ground advantage to intensify its war against the Decayed Civilization’s isolated vanguard in the Demon Territory Middle Part. Saine continued fighting the Bone Emperor as the battlefield’s imbalance worsened and Evil Tide forces resorted to suicide attacks.

Three hundred years later, the Evil Tide Civilization gave Saine technology-side treasures to feed his Magic Cube, whose transformation seemed close to completion.

• The Evil Tide Civilization’s clean-sweep strategy eliminated unstable Decay-Transformed Demon Emperors, while Shura Demon Emperor proved his loyalty by tearing away his Decayed flesh and returning to the Evil Tide.
• Three hundred years later, Saine fought alongside Evil Tide Dominators against the Bone Emperor when Bright Blue Demon Ancestor sent him a message about a gift from the Supremes.
• Two Level-7 Demon Emperors delivered Saine technology-side treasures, including fragments of the Dimension Furnace, the Limit Boost Turbine, and the Infinite Replication Device.
• Saine thanked the Evil Tide Civilization and offered equivalent recompense, but the Demon Emperor said the gift required no repayment and asked him to help end the war sooner.
• Saine let his Magic Cube absorb the treasures, sensed it undergoing a profound transformation, and recognized that he owed the Evil Tide Civilization a major personal favor.

Saine’s Magic Cube devoured the Evil Tide Civilization’s treasures and transformed his God of Machines, restoring it and integrating several powerful abilities. After testing the Infinite Replication Device, Saine wondered whether the Magic Cube was approaching the level of a civilization supreme treasure.

• Saine let the Magic Cube absorb three civilization supreme treasure fragments and other treasures, while the God of Machines began to heal and change.
• The Dimension Furnace fused into the God of Machines, increasing its energy and allowing the Endless Light Launch Device to recharge ahead of schedule.

• Saine tested the Infinite Replication Device and created an identical fleet using one in his Magic Cube as a blueprint, consuming vast amounts of energy.
• Saine looked at the Magic Cube and wondered whether it was about to become a civilization supreme treasure.

Saine's Magic Cube absorbed the Evil Tide Civilization's treasures and began transforming into a Civilization Supreme Treasure, allowing it to replicate technology-side warships. As Saine tested its limits and his Mechanical Legions gathered around the God of Machines, the Bone Emperor witnessed the unprecedented transformation.

• Saine used the transforming Magic Cube to replicate a Dominator-Class War Fleet, but found that Dominator-class battleships replicated far more slowly than ordinary warships.
• Saine stopped the fleet replication and concluded that the Magic Cube's power was limited by balance rules, resources, and advanced technology.
• Saine considered how a vast Mechanical Legion of replicated ships could be used to hunt Dominators, and the Evil Tide Civilization's treasures further enhanced the Magic Cube's functions.
• The God of Machines and its Mechanical Legions underwent a profound transformation as the Magic Cube advanced toward Civilization Supreme Treasure grade.
• The Bone Emperor saw the rule fluctuations and wondered whether a Civilization Supreme Treasure could truly be created without a Level-9 Being.

The Bone Emperor waited for his White Spine Scepter to cool so he could break out of the Evil Tide Civilization’s encirclement, unaware that Saine had already returned after transforming the Magic Cube into a Civilization Supreme Treasure. Saine’s newly strengthened God of Machines attacked with overwhelming speed and spatial-blinking abilities, leaving the Bone Emperor to withstand its assault.

• The Bone Emperor assessed the battered Dominators surrounding him and waited for his White Spine Scepter to finish cooling so he could choose a target and break out.
• The Evil Tide Army intercepted the Decayed Civilization’s forces, preventing them from reaching the Bone Emperor while he remained trapped far from the Space-Time Channel.
• Saine completed the Magic Cube’s transformation into a Civilization Supreme Treasure in less than thirty years.
• The Magic Cube restored the God of Machines and strengthened it as its transformation continued.
• Saine’s God of Machines reappeared before the Bone Emperor, struck at startling speed, and began blinking through space.
• The Bone Emperor recognized the God of Machines’ new power as Half-Level-9 and endured its storm-like barrage.

Saine reached Half-Nine power again and coordinated the Dominators to overwhelm the Bone Emperor. With the Bone Emperor’s defenses failing, Saine and the Light of Wisdom prepared two amplified Endless Light attacks, leaving the Bone Emperor trembling before their strike.

• Saine activated the God of Machines’ boosted state and reached Half-Nine power while battling the Bone Emperor.
• Saine coordinated the surrounding Dominators through the Bright Blue Demon Ancestor, and they unleashed their strongest attacks on the Bone Emperor.
• Saine sent replicated warships on suicidal charges to obscure the Bone Emperor’s perception and conceal his next attack.
• Saine confirmed the Light of Wisdom could still fight and prepared to use the Endless Light Device with its support.
• The Bone Emperor’s defenses and three of its rings shattered under the barrage, then it trembled as two amplified Endless Light attacks appeared before it.

Saine and the other Dominators heavily wounded the Bone Emperor, and Master Naige'er struck its eye socket with the Finger of Death. The Bone Emperor counterattacked with the White Spine Scepter as Saine's Winged Dragon Phantom Image rushed to protect Master Naige'er.

• Saine used the God of Machines to fire two point-blank Endless Light beams through the Bone Emperor's body.
• The One-Eyed Demon Ancestor, Michelle, and the others attacked the wounded Bone Emperor.

• The Bone Emperor activated the Demon Cultivation Eye and thrust the White Spine Scepter at Master Naige'er.
• Saine sent the Winged Dragon Phantom Image to support Master Naige'er.

Saine’s forces and the Evil Tide Dominators continued their siege of Bone Emperor, while Secluded Bamboo Supreme arranged reinforcements for the battles elsewhere. The Darkness God agreed to send Bright Blue Demon Ancestor against Liè Chǐ Demon Ancestor with his Burial Sky Blade.

• Master Naige'er sent the damaged Monster Emperor Geluomuzi to shield him from Bone Emperor’s attack, and Winged Dragon Phantom Image carried him to safety as Qingtian blocked Bone Emperor’s follow-up strikes.

• The Darkness God agreed to Bright Blue Demon Ancestor joining the battle and gave her the Burial Sky Blade to use against Liè Chǐ Demon Ancestor.

The Evil Tide forces joined together to hunt down the weakened traitor Liè Chǐ Demon Ancestor, while the Darkness Demon Ancestor remotely controlled the Burial Sky Blade through Bright Blue Demon Ancestor. Liè Chǐ pleaded with Zanding for help as the blade’s power filled the battlefield with deadly black lightning.

• Star Wheel Demon Ancestor accepted support from Demon Ancestor Lei Ji and Bright Blue Demon Ancestor, leaving Liè Chǐ Demon Ancestor facing their combined assault.
• Demon Ancestor Lei Ji struck Liè Chǐ with the Sky Thunder Shuttle, while Bright Blue arrived carrying the Burial Sky Blade.
• Liè Chǐ called on God of Destruction Zanding to save him as his dwindling Omnipotent Soul left him unable to recover.
• Darkness Demon Ancestor remotely controlled the Burial Sky Blade, whose presence unleashed black Law Lightning across the battlefield.
• Bright Blue shattered the lightning aimed at her with the Burial Sky Blade, while Liè Chǐ sensed that death was near.

The Darkness Demon Ancestor ignored calls to restrain his level-9 power and swung the Burial Sky Blade at Liè Chǐ Demon Ancestor as the Star Realm’s rules stirred in response. Zanting was unable to intervene, leaving Liè Chǐ facing the world-shaking slash.

• The Secluded Bamboo Supreme urged the Darkness Demon Ancestor to rein in his power as rule thunder struck across the battlefield.
• The Darkness Demon Ancestor argued that the Evil Tide Civilization should seize the chance to kill Liè Chǐ, and the Undying Supreme agreed to let him act.
• The Secluded Bamboo Supreme considered whether dimensional hegemony was changing the Star Realm’s restrictions and watched the Demon Fallen Supreme and God of Decay fight.
• The Darkness Demon Ancestor sent the Burial Sky Blade slashing toward Liè Chǐ Demon Ancestor.
• Zanting sensed the danger and tried to reach Liè Chǐ, but the Demon Fallen Supreme blocked him.
• The Burial Sky Blade descended toward Liè Chǐ as rule thunder swept across the battlefield and the Star Realm’s rules stirred.
