• The final components of Source Energy City were assembled at the former Ultimate Battlefield as the battle continued.

Fallen Emperor’s decay rules corrupted several of Saine’s Mechanical Dominators, so Saine accepted Demon Fall Supreme’s offer to counter them. Demon Fall Supreme also proposed a future partnership in the Higher Dimensional Plane, then unleashed his Evil Tide power against the corrupted machines.

• Fallen Emperor’s decay rules severely corrupted the Mechanical Winged Dragon Phantom Image, Gomora, and Balaba, while the Reverse Mutant and Alien Queen showed little or no effect.

• Undying Supreme spoke of the choices made by the Evil Tide's past leaders and said they would have to experience the consequences of their own path.
• The Enlightenment Prophet appeared and headed toward the Source Energy City, and Undying Supreme moved to block it.

The Enlightenment Prophet tried to sabotage Saine’s Source Energy City and proposed peace to the Undying Supreme, who refused to cooperate and fought to stop him. As the city’s fusion neared completion, Saine absorbed its power and knowledge, and the Inheritance of Knowledge was completed.

• The Enlightenment Prophet arrived to disrupt the fusion of Saine’s Source Energy City and asked the Undying Supreme to bury their feud, but the Undying Supreme remained silent.

• Saine concluded that reaching half-level-9 would remain difficult even after Source Energy City fused with his God of Machines, and he ordered it to bombard Mandara on Auto-Pilot.

• The Secluded Bamboo Supreme ordered Demon Emperor Raymond to negotiate with the Immortal Domain Civilization for the pill.

As the Level-9 beings left the Material Star Realm, Yuanshi Tianzun and Rogge exploited the battlefield by targeting weaker opponents while their allies held back stronger foes. Meanwhile, Saine’s Source Energy City completed its fusion in the Flowing Light Retrospective World, where time passed far more slowly.

• Yuanshi Tianzun attacked Sky Feather Civilization’s Dominators and White Cloud Flowing Tuo World’s Element-type Dominators, harvesting materials for spiritual treasures as Yang Jian, Nezha, and the other disciples helped him kill one.
• The Element Pioneer tried to break away from Silver Knight to stop Yuanshi Tianzun, but Silver Knight prevented it from leaving their fight.
• Rogge led an expanding undead army toward the Demon Subjugation Alliance’s Metal Graveyard front line and asked Befu whether they should attack the Capricorn Empire.
• Befu told Rogge that the time was not right, since Wizard Civilization had not yet established cooperation with the Yan Emperor Divine Clan and had little to gain from a costly battle.
• As the Material Star Realm’s time flow accelerated relative to the Flowing Light Retrospective World, Saine’s Source Energy City completed its fusion and stood behind the Evil Tide front line.

The Undying Supreme forced the Enlightenment Prophet to abandon his attack on the newly fused Source Energy City, which then sped toward Saine’s battlefield. There, Saine and his allies continued wearing down Mandara as Galaxy Star Safina spotted the approaching city.

• As Source Energy City completed its fusion, the Undying Supreme told the Enlightenment Prophet to keep walking in the opposite direction and urged him to withdraw.

• Source Energy City departed for the Dimensional Battlefield front line, while the Undying Supreme reflected that the Dimensional Hegemony was nearing its end.
• Saine and his allies kept attacking Mandara, whose immense vitality allowed her to endure their assault.
• Galaxy Star Safina spotted Source Energy City approaching and rejoiced at the return of the Source Energy Civilization’s pinnacle creation.

Saine brought Source Energy City to the battlefield, confined Mandara in a time-space barrier, and began fusing the city with his God of Machines. The fusion began to transform the machine, leaving Saine poised to explore the Rule Arcana of breaking the balance and potentially advance toward Level 9.

• Source Energy City arrived and bombarded the battlefield, then gathered energy to trap Mandara and nearby Dominators in a time-space confinement.
• Saine brought Source Energy City into the special subspace and ordered the fusion to begin.
• Di'ersi Jia, the Destruction Giant Ape, the Blade Empress, and others charged at Mandara to help Saine suppress her.
• The God of Machines and Source Energy City touched and began merging, drawing the attention of Dominators, Level-9 Beings, and Saine's Mechanical Legion.
• Naige'er wondered whether the fusion would let Saine's machine reach Level-9 combat power, while Saine focused on the transformation and its Rule Arcana.

Saine studied the God of Machines as it fused with Source Energy City and prepared to advance to Level 9, reassuring it about the unknown and promising they would meet again. When Mandara tried to escape, Saine battered her transformed Flower of Life, and she offered herself for soul control and experimentation to stay alive.

• Saine questioned the God of Machines about its transformation, and it admitted that it feared the unknown and did not want to leave him.
• Saine told the God of Machines that they would meet again and suggested his own future path might depend on it, easing its fear and inspiring it to scout the Higher Dimensional Time-Space for him.
• As the God of Machines fused with Source Energy City and grew larger, Saine recorded their conversation as valuable evidence for future Wizard Civilization research.
• Mandara struggled to escape the encirclement while the God of Machines' transformation placed increasing pressure on her.
• Saine struck Mandara's Flower of Life with the God of Machines' metal palm, cracking it with near-Level-9 power.
• Mandara begged Saine to control her soul and conduct experiments on her, insisting she had no real grudge against the Wizard Civilization.

Saine continued killing Mandara, believing he could control her more reliably by turning her into a Mechanical Element Dominator. He then proposed an experiment to separate the God of Machines from the Source Energy City, but the God of Machines volunteered and refused to fear the risk.

• Saine concluded that killing Mandara and modifying her corpse gave him the best chance of controlling her, while preserving her memories for later study.
• As the God of Machines crushed Mandara, she realized her suffering might be punishment for violating the Time-Space Rules.
• Saine told the God of Machines that its mechanical origins might let it remain in the Flowing Light Retrospective World after reaching Level 9.
• Saine split the Source Energy City's rule phantom into twenty-seven Source Energy Sub-Cities and proposed testing whether removing it could lower the God of Machines below Level 9.
• The God of Machines volunteered for Saine's experiment, and Saine offered the Magic Cube or Gray Mist Level-9 Cthulhu's Darkness Space as ways to preserve it.
• The God of Machines interrupted Saine and declared, "I'm not afraid!"

Saine’s God of Machines fused with the Source Energy City and advanced to Level 9, breaking the confinement space with its power. It spread its rule light across the Mechanical Civilization and began merging with Saine’s Mechanical Element Dominators, leaving the Level-9 beings stunned as its power continued to rise.

• The God of Machines told Saine it was not afraid to leave and promised to contribute its remaining power, while Saine vowed to find it wherever it went.
• The God of Machines completed its fusion with the Source Energy City and reached Level-9 power, shattering the rule-based confinement space around it.

• Saine ordered his Mechanical Element Dominators to merge with the God of Machines, and they rushed to their assigned fusion positions.
• Mechanical Monster Emperor Geluomuzi became the God of Machines’ breastplate, Second Brother became its left arm, and Gatanothor merged with its right foot as the God of Machines showed signs of rising even higher.

Saine fused the power of the Mechanical Civilization into the God of Machines, elevating it to a new height and making it the strongest being on the Dimensional Battlefield. As the God of Machines advanced toward Mandara, Darkness God prepared to confront it despite Demon Fall Supreme's warning.

• Saine recalled Level-4-and-above robots, Cosmic Battleships, and Interstellar Fortresses to join the Mechanical Element Dominators around the God of Machines.
• The God of Machines completed its fusion with Mechanical Civilization forces, and a bolt of white rule lightning marked its transformation.
• Demon Fall Supreme recognized that Saine's God of Machines had reached a realm comparable to Level-9 Mid-Stage beings and wondered whether Evil Tide Power could be used similarly.
• The newly transformed God of Machines advanced toward Mandara, earning the title of the strongest on the Dimensional Battlefield.
• Darkness God revealed his eagerness to fight the God of Machines, and Demon Fall Supreme urged him to calm down.

Saine used the God of Machines to overpower Mandara while studying the rules behind her power and experiencing Mid-Stage Level-9 strength. He concluded that Level-9 Beings were not gods, having discovered that they too possessed Omnipotent Souls.

• Demon Fall Supreme warned the Darkness God not to attack Saine, and the Darkness God withdrew after recognizing the danger.
• Saine and the God of Machines suppressed Mandara, while the Destruction Giant Ape Wukong and the other allies helped attack her.
• Saine used his control of the God of Machines to study Mandara as a set of rule runes and discern differences and commonalities between Level-8 Dominators and Level-9 Beings.
• Saine realized that Level-9 Beings were not gods because they were not omniscient and omnipotent, and he discovered that they possessed Omnipotent Souls.
