Meanwhile, the Evil Tide Civilization’s migration and the Material Star Realm’s political conflicts continued, with the Seven Directions Conglomerate facing the Demon Subjugation Alliance.

• The Enlightenment Prophet tried to divide his opponents by proposing that they join forces against other Level-9 Beings and complete the Gate of Rules’ remolding.

• The Demon Subjugation Alliance gained new member civilizations as both sides watched for benefits after the Evil Tide Civilization left the Star Realm.

Wizard Civilization continued expanding while Saine fought in the Flowing Light Retrospective World, and its leaders considered plans for the future. As Wizard Civilization neared the strength of an Ultimate Body Civilization, Ming feared it would become the next threat to the Astral Realm.

• The Blue Tanuki Beast Civilization rejected the Seven Directions Conglomerate’s strict terms but did not join the Demon Subjugation Alliance, which recently gained the Mad Beast Civilization and the Dead Realm Civilization.
• The Ghost Crow King returned to Wizard Civilization as a Level-8 Dominator and visited old friends to show off, while Dao Dali watched the Level-9 Great War and set himself a lofty goal.

• Ming realized Wizard Civilization had the rudiments of an Ultimate Body Civilization and considered resigning as Astral Realm Overseer before facing what he called the Warlock Disaster.

Ming watched Wizard Civilization’s rapid development while seeking a way to escape his Overseer duties, and Saine assessed how the war had strengthened Wizard and Immortal Domain civilizations. As returning expeditionary forces brought resources and treasures home, Wizard Civilization began redistributing power and growing stronger.

• Ming observed Wizard Civilization’s expanding sea clans and new professions, while worrying about the dangerous battle in the Flowing Light Retrospective World and his obligations as Overseer.
• Immortal Domain powerhouses including Master Tongtian and Tathagata Buddha returned from the Flowing Light Retrospective World stronger, while their legions either pursued the Evil Tide or rested in the Chaos Qi Sea.

• As Wizard Civilization’s expeditionary legions returned, internal resource and power adjustments began, and Civilization Supreme Treasure-grade items drove exponential growth in its overall strength.

The Level-9 battle in the Flowing Light Retrospective World continued after nearly twenty thousand years, while the Gates of Rules remained incomplete and Dominators gathered to watch. As the Evil Tide Civilization’s dimensional migration neared its end, Ogrimmar, Cindy, and their son prepared to pass through the Dimensional Ascension Gate.

• The Enlightenment Prophet and Gray Mist Level-9 Cthulhu grew increasingly uneasy as their long battle continued without a decisive outcome, and the Seven Gates of Rules still had not fully formed.

• Ogrimmar and Cindy prepared to leave the Material Star Realm with their young son, whom Secluded Bamboo Supreme had blessed as a sign of the Evil Tide Civilization’s future.
• Ogrimmar’s family headed toward the Dimensional Ascension Gate, and the remaining rule-complete demonized worlds in his homeland’s former starfield received permission to travel to the Higher Dimensional Plane.

As the vacated territory drew rival civilizations and Astral Realm Overseer Ming considered resigning, two more Devil Ancestors emerged during the migration’s final stage.

• Kaseda parted from Demon Emperor Hestia, while Demon Emperor Zaji headed for the Dimensional Ascension Gate without looking back.
• Kailate thanked an Immortal Domain Level-7 Immortal Emperor for past battlefield aid, reflecting the bonds formed between Evil Tide, Immortal Domain, and Wizard Civilization powerhouses.

• The Evil Tide’s Half-Level-9 powerhouses remained at its main base to guard the migration, while Shura Demon Ancestor and Demon Ancestor Raymond broke through and emerged.

As Evil Tide Civilization prepared to leave the Material Star Realm, its recent breakthroughs and exchanges with the Seven Directions Conglomerate contrasted with the Demon Subjugation Alliance’s limited plundering. In the Level-9 battle, the desperate Enlightenment Prophet launched toward Evil Tide’s Dimensional Ascension Gate, then abruptly turned back toward Cthulhu when the Undying Supreme intercepted it.

• The Shura Demon Ancestor, Demon Ancestor Raymond, and many other Evil Tide Dominators made major breakthroughs after the Dimensional Hegemony.

• The God of Machines overtook the Enlightenment Prophet and blocked his attack, displaying power close to Late-Level 9.

Saine, the Undying Supreme, and Gray Mist Level-9 Cthulhu pursued the Enlightenment Prophet from the Level-9 Battlefield into the Material Star Realm, then carried their fight into the Chaos Void. As they neared the Immortal Domain’s Prehistoric World, the Enlightenment Prophet’s resistance stiffened beneath the watch of the Moon Star and Sun Star.

• Saine’s God of Machines and the Undying Supreme seized the Enlightenment Prophet and left the Level-9 Battlefield, while Gray Mist Level-9 Cthulhu and Little White followed.

• Pan Gu told Ming that he would not kill him but needed to discuss some matters, while their conversation remained unheard by the other Level-9 Experts.
• Pan Gu, the God of Machines, the Undying Supreme, Gray Mist Level-9, and Little White attacked the Enlightenment Prophet, who demanded to know who Pan Gu was and why he was being targeted.

• Pan Gu struck the Enlightenment Prophet again, scattering fragments of his Level-9 Origin Rules across the Prehistoric World and other Cultivation Worlds as beneficial nutrients.

The Immortal Domain Sages and cultivators attacked the Star Realm Dominators trapped in the Chaos Void while Pan Gu fought the Enlightenment Prophet. Astral Realm Overseer Ming watched the slaughter as the Immortal Domain’s forces gained the upper hand.

• Pan Gu blocked the Dominators’ escape with the Chaos Void and killed Level-7 and Level-8 foes with the Creation of the Heavens Axe while wounding the Enlightenment Prophet.

Pan Gu overwhelmed the Enlightenment Prophet, destroying his body and scattering his True Spirit Light as Saine watched and considered what the battle could teach him. Pan Gu continued striking the Prophet’s scattered Rules Origin, enriching the Chaos Void, while Saine wondered who was still watching from higher dimensions.

• Saine watched Pan Gu’s attacks shatter the Chaos Qi Sea’s barrier and reduce most of the Enlightenment Prophet’s body to motes of light and Rules Origin.

• Pan Gu finished his private exchange with Astral Realm Overseer Ming, and Saine prepared to discuss the Overseer with him.

After the Star Realm invaders were defeated, Pan Gu and Astral Realm Overseer Ming spoke while Saine considered the immense potential of the Mechanical Civilization. Saine left Ming with an unsettling request for blood samples, and Ming agreed to help him.
