He then left the Demon Territory front lines with his companions to prepare for the Wizard Alliance Assembly, leaving others in charge there.

• Saine rewarded Wizard Civilization’s powerful figures with treasures and planned to establish an organization to distribute his remaining resources.
• Befu asked to examine Saine’s light-element Rule Crystal, and her Light Necklace revealed the phantom of a Twelve-Winged Angel.

• Wizard Civilization developed the Inner Territory while sending fighters and fortune-seekers to the Outer Territory, investing in infrastructure and rebuilding Alliance Planes.
• Saine inspected the Light Dimension Country and Netherworld Star Territory and saw that both regions had recovered and developed well.

• Saine told Di'ersi Jia that he would double the Light Dimension Remnants’ territory in the Guangwei Star Region if their population grew to match the Minghe Remnant Clan’s or reached two-thirds of its size.

• Saine spent five hundred years building a grand array to incorporate sun-and-moon rules into the Wizard World, leaving it incomplete pending an energy infusion.
• The Guardian of Summer told Saine that the Mother Plane Will wished to see him and led him toward the Plane Navel.

Saine met the Mother Plane Will, who appeared as his mother, and discussed an agreement for after he ascended to a higher dimension. After he completed the Sun and Moon Rules Magic Array, he told the Guardian of Summer that the Four Seasons Guardians might be able to travel through nearby star domains and help protect the Wizard World.

• Saine met the Mother Plane Will at the Wizard World's core, where she thanked him for restoring the Sun and Moon Guardians' rules and proposed an agreement for after his ascension.

• Saine told the Guardian of Summer that he had declined the Mother Plane Will's proposal to make his twin children the new Sun and Moon Guardians.
• Saine proposed adjusting the Guardians' rule mechanisms so they could travel to nearby star domains and help establish a protective barrier around the Wizard World.

• Saine argued that Wizard Civilization should begin immigration and expansion beyond the Mother Plane to address population limits and the risks of relying too heavily on the Wizard Alliance.
• The Guardian of Summer proposed using nearby Plane Worlds as pilot sites, while Master Douglas and Dark Knight Abaddon urged preserving Wizard World spellcasters’ and knights’ values among immigrants.

• Saine formally proposed Green as the leading candidate for the next Civilization Leader, and most council members showed little opposition.
• Saine contributed roughly seventy percent of the high-end materials he had seized to Wizard Civilization’s development, leaving the meeting room silent as he presented them.

After the Sky City Imperial Council, Saine visited Master Naige'er in the Black Domain and helped him refine an experiment using the Source Tracing Stone to control time. Master Naige'er asked Saine to accompany him to the Flowing Light Retrospective World, and Saine proposed waiting five hundred years before they went.

• Master Naige'er asked Saine to accompany him to the Flowing Light Retrospective World, and Saine suggested waiting five hundred years before setting out.

Saine toured Master Naige'er’s collection, borrowed a rare Divine Bird Wooden Barrel, and agreed to travel with him to the Flowing Light Retrospective World in five hundred years. On his way toward the Wizard World, Saine learned that the Myriad Springs World Cluster and the World Tree Civilization had agreed to join the Wizard Alliance.

• The Dominator-class spring masters of the Myriad Springs World Cluster agreed to join the Wizard Alliance, and the World Tree Civilization also agreed to join.

• The two explored the changed world, collected specimens, and estimated that its time flow had advanced by at least two million years.

Saine and Master Naige'er found the Destruction Spring near the end of their exploration of the Flowing Light Retrospective World and learned it was nearing Level 9. After entrusting the Myriad Springs World Cluster to their care and giving them its memories, the Destruction Spring began to lose its clarity and unleash a growing destruction tide, forcing them to leave.

• Saine and Master Naige'er studied the Flowing Light Retrospective World's Time-Space Rules and gained new insights.
• Saine and Master Naige'er discovered the Destruction Spring, whose power and nature had been transformed by Time-Space erosion.
• The Destruction Spring asked about the Myriad Springs World Cluster, and Saine promised Wizard Civilization would support it through the Wizard Alliance.
• The Destruction Spring gave Saine and Master Naige'er a streak of white crystalline light containing its memories of the Flowing Light Retrospective World.
• As the Destruction Spring's consciousness faded and its power surged toward Level 9, it entrusted the Myriad Springs World Cluster to Saine and Naige'er.
• Master Naige'er urged them to leave before the Destruction Spring's destruction tide grew impossible to withstand, and Saine agreed.

After visiting the Flowing Light Retrospective World, Saine returned to the Material Star Realm and set out alone for the Howling Stone World, where the Thirtieth Wizard Alliance Assembly would be held. On his private journey, he reflected on Destruction Spring’s memories and observed how Wizard Civilization’s growth had benefited its Alliance Planes.

• Saine and Master Naige'er left the Flowing Light Retrospective World, and Naige'er said Destruction Spring might regain some sanity when it advanced to Level 9.

• As he traveled, Saine reviewed Destruction Spring’s memories and struggled to find a way into his research on the Time-Space Rules.
• Saine observed that most Wizard Alliance Planes had benefited from Wizard Civilization’s rapid expansion.

While traveling through the Wizard Civilization, Saine reflected on happiness and his responsibility to the beings of its allied planes. He visited the Orc, Elf, and Titan Worlds, then the Galente Federation and Underworld, leaving the Underworld commander with a promise to repair its Civilization Supreme Treasure.

Saine visited Pantera World, where the Gate of Resurrection experiment was progressing but still lacked a suitable Level-9 power source, then traveled to Howling Stone World for the Thirtieth Wizard Alliance Assembly. The assembly was set to divide spoils and decide Wizard Civilization’s stance on a coming war with the Demon Subjugation Alliance, and Saine arrived as the invited experts gathered.

• Saine visited Pantera World and found Master Douglas’s Gate of Resurrection experiment advancing smoothly, though it still needed a final infusion of Level-9 Power.
• Saine flew toward Howling Stone World with Zi You accompanying him for part of the journey as the Alliance Assembly approached.
• The Ghost Crow King arrived at Howling Stone World centuries early to show off its rise to Level 8.

• Saine arrived at Howling Stone World and flew toward the north-central region, where Befu, Lady Lisa, and the others had gathered.

At Howling Stone World, Saine joined Befu and Lisa as they discussed the Wizard Civilization’s impending war with the Demon Subjugation Alliance and the Blue Fox Civilization’s possible role. The chapter outlined the rival blocs’ growing membership and military strength as smaller factions struggled to choose a side.

• Saine intensified the Faceless Mask’s concealment and arrived beside Befu, Lisa, and the others without drawing attention.
• Befu suggested that the Blue Fox Civilization could prove its interest in joining the Seven Directions Conglomerate by striking first when war began.
• Befu explained that the Blue Fox Civilization had been pressured by the Mad Beast Civilization and Twisted Shadow Civilization, and that the Wizard Civilization had quietly offered it goodwill.
• The chapter listed the Top-Level Civilizations in each bloc, showing the Seven Directions Conglomerate with seven and the Demon Subjugation Alliance with ten.
• The growing blocs and their attached Large World Civilizations made the coming conflict potentially larger than the Dimensional Hegemony, while other factions still watched from the sidelines.
