Arc 172The Eternal Soul War
Saine studied the rules of the Flowing Light Retrospective World while the Evil Tide Civilization and its allies fought the Eternal Soul Clan, eventually bringing the Yan Emperor Divine Clan into the battle. The fighting left the Soul Emperor and the recovering Soul Hall Grand Elder under pressure, while Master Naige'er departed to retrieve the failing One-Eyed Demon Ancestor Corpse Puppet.
- Saine killed Mandara, collected her remains and True Spirit Light, then withdrew from nearby wars to study the Star Realm's Source Power.
- As Saine researched, Lisa expanded the Zerg, the Destruction Spring grew stronger, and the Evil Tide Civilization fought across the Dimensional Battlefield.
- After Burning Flame Emperor died and Emperor Flame went missing, the Evil Tide Civilization implicated the Eternal Soul Clan and the Enlightenment Prophet, but the Yan Emperor Divine Clan initially held back.
- Saine joined the Evil Tide Civilization's campaign against the Eternal Soul Clan, where his God of Machines crushed the Soul Hall Grand Elder as the Soul Emperor arrived.
- The First Flame Emperor led the Yan Emperor Divine Clan into the war, and Michelle, Wukong, Naige'er, and other allies joined the assault on the Eternal Soul Clan's forces.
- Saine entrusted Source Energy City to Safina, who used it to attack the Eternal Soul Clan and help kill the Soul Hall Grand Elder.
- The Soul Hall Grand Elder began reforming from gathered souls, so Saine claimed his treasures and remains for research while Safina trapped and struck him again.
- As the Destruction Spring approached Half-Level-9 power, Master Naige'er left the battlefield and asked the Blade Empress to keep the Soul Hall Grand Elder alive while he retrieved the failing One-Eyed Demon Ancestor Corpse Puppet.
