• Locke asked whether the Old Zombie had truly died after falling into the River of Time, and Saine wondered if he might still be alive while Locke left the question unanswered.

Locke explained to Saine how difficult it was to resurrect the dead by pulling them from the River of Time, and said only an existence like Great God Pan Gu might have the power to do so.

• Locke said that Great God Pan Gu might be the only being capable of performing Time Resurrection and confirmed that Pan Gu's power exceeded his own.
• Saine argued that Pan Gu's command of strength and other Great Daos did not necessarily mean he could resurrect lives from the River of Time, and Locke responded by revealing a secret that changed Saine's expression.

Saine asked Locke about Yang Mei, and Locke revealed that True Person Yang Mei was a surviving ancient Demon God with mastery of time and space who might be needed for a future resurrection. Before their connection ended, Locke hinted that the Wizard Civilization had an older, complicated history; Saine set aside the mystery and turned to studying the Bronze Coffin.

• Saine asked whether Master Saine had heard of Yang Mei in the Immortal Domain, but Saine had no knowledge of him.

After learning that the Five Super Civilizations had uncovered the Darkness Source Civilization’s location and were preparing to destroy it, God Daheitian contacted the Dark Universe Time-Space to request aid. The Dark Universe Time-Space had already spent hundreds of thousands of years preparing to invade the Light Universe Time-Space.

• Saine reflected on the secrets he had learned from Locke while Rocky and Hela focused on the Civilization Supreme Treasures Locke had given them.
• The Five Super Civilizations gathered intelligence from captured Dark Beings and narrowed down the Darkness Source Civilization’s location in the Light Universe Time-Space.

• God Daheitian contacted a high-level practitioner of the Dark Universe Time-Space through a violet-black Rule Mirror and requested help.
• The Dark Universe Time-Space responded with concern, as it had spent two hundred thousand years preparing an expedition against the Light Universe Time-Space.

The Dark Universe Time-Space planned to use the Darkness Source Civilization to open a stable passage into the Light Universe Time-Space, but the process would take up to a hundred thousand years. As the Five Super Civilizations threatened the Darkness Source Civilization, God Daheitian received a promise of reinforcements without a clear arrival date.

• The chapter explained that the Dark Universe Time-Space expected to establish a stable connection with the Light Universe Time-Space within a hundred thousand years, while Locke’s more optimistic plan for a passage to the Primordial Universe Time-Space had been disrupted.
• The Five Super Civilizations remained confident they could defeat the Darkness Source Civilization and knew little about the Dark Universe Time-Space, while it had learned much about the Light Universe through its civilization’s betrayal.
• God Daheitian urgently requested aid, prompting the Dark Universe Time-Space to promise strong practitioners and high-grade equipment for the Darkness Source Civilization.
• The Darkness Source Civilization prepared to delay the Five Super Civilizations for tens of thousands of years while waiting for reinforcements, and two Powerful Beings told God Daheitian that their arrival would give his civilization a chance to survive.

God Daheitian mobilized the Darkness Source Civilization for an impending war against the allied Five Super Civilizations and tried to recall Lord Tongyou from the exposed Illusory Sea Maze. When Lord Tongyou failed to reply, God Daheitian contacted the civilization’s other ancestor, Gu Mie Sihuo.

• God Daheitian formally launched war mobilization and called on the Level-9-and-above Beings to prepare for the Five Super Civilizations’ attack.
• The chapter explained that the Darkness Source Civilization’s three ancestors had only recently reached Level 11, with Lord Tongyou closest to the Mid-Stage.
• The Five Super Civilizations had uncovered the Darkness Source Civilization’s strongholds in the Illusory Sea Maze, which could later become a bridge and battlefield between the two dimensional planes.
• God Daheitian urged Lord Tongyou to return to the civilization’s rear, but Lord Tongyou sent no reply.
• God Daheitian suppressed his frustration and contacted Gu Mie Sihuo, the civilization’s youngest and most combat-oriented ancestor.

God Daheitian kept Gu Mie Sihuo in reserve as the Five Super Civilizations prepared to attack the Darkness Source Civilization, while reflecting on the civilization’s past and its dependence on Lord Tongyou. He remained worried about their shortage of Level-10 Beings and hoped the war would be delayed until reinforcements from the Dark Universe Time-Space arrived.

• Gu Mie Sihuo asked to attack the Five Super Civilizations’ vanguard, but God Daheitian ordered it to stay in the rear and hold the line.
• God Daheitian recalled how Lord Tongyou had once transported the entire Darkness Source Civilization to the Dimensional Battlefield, where Gu Mie Sihuo broke through to the Supreme Realm and one Supreme-level expert died.
• God Daheitian considered the coming war inevitable and hoped the Darkness Source Civilization could hold out until support arrived from the Dark Universe Time-Space.
• Gu Mie Sihuo obeyed God Daheitian and returned to the rear, while God Daheitian lamented that Lord Tongyou still had not sent word.
• God Daheitian noted that the Darkness Source Civilization had fewer Level-10 Beings than its rivals because resources had been directed toward him, Gu Mie Sihuo, and Lord Tongyou.

The Five Super Civilizations cleared most of Darkness Source Civilization’s forces from the Illusory Sea Maze while preparing for a wider war. Saine reflected on how the Light God Race had risen to power and considered whether Light Universe Time-Space might contain more than the six known Super Civilizations.

• The Five Super Civilizations explored the Illusory Sea Maze and destroyed or captured most Darkness Source Civilization strongholds, though they could not confirm that every enemy force had been removed.

• The Five Super Civilizations agreed to recruit Top-Level Civilizations and Large Worlds to help destroy the Source of Darkness Civilization.
• The Light God Race quickly sent its Angel Legion toward the Illusory Sea Maze and claimed nearly two-fifths of the lost territory and rule convergence points.
• Saine's need for more Rule Nodes to contact Locke made the Light God Race's expansion in the Illusory Sea Maze strategically important.
• The Lord of Moonlight proposed creating a council to coordinate communication among the allied civilizations.
• The Green Vine Civilization, Light God Race, and Water Mirror Civilization supported the proposal, and the Crimson Flame Civilization proceeded despite being unable to veto it.

The Five Super Civilizations prepared to establish a United Council in the Illusory Sea Maze and discussed the powers and hidden strengths each might bring to war against the Darkness Source Civilization. Meanwhile, the Lord of Radiance arrived hoping to contact Locke, but Saine was absorbed in studying Locke’s Bronze Coffin and persuaded Little Tenth to enter it for an experiment.

• The Five Super Civilizations chose the Illusory Sea Maze for their first United Council meeting, where their leaders would discuss the campaign against the Darkness Source Civilization.
• Saine learned that the Crimson Flame Civilization and Water Mirror Civilization had hidden Level-11 Strong Practitioners, while the Light God Race had potential Level-11 power in its Supreme God and merged First Generation Angels.
• The Lord of Radiance arrived in the Illusory Sea Maze with Madam Befu, Duan Ning, and other subordinates, hoping to contact Locke.
• Saine remained in his laboratory researching the Bronze Coffin, a Dimension Supreme Treasure he had obtained from Destroyer Knight Locke.
• Saine reassured Little Tenth and encouraged her to remain inside the Bronze Coffin for his experiment, citing Silver Knight’s recent progress after undergoing a similar test.

Little Tenth gained power from cultivating inside Saine’s Bronze Coffin before Lord of Radiance arrived to discuss contacting Locke. Saine helped Lord of Radiance and Locke begin negotiations between the Light God Race and the Destruction Divine Kingdom, then left to explore the Illusory Sea Maze as powerful forces gathered there.

• Little Tenth assisted Saine’s experiment in the Bronze Coffin and gained substantial Death Power before reluctantly leaving it.
• Lord of Radiance visited Saine with Madam Befu to arrange contact with Locke.
• Saine used Locke’s Blood Crystals and other items to establish a communication altar between the Light God Race and Primordial Universe Time-Space.
• Lord of Radiance and Locke began preliminary discussions about the interests of their civilizations, while Saine and Madam Befu left them to talk.
• Saine surveyed the Illusory Sea Maze, where forces from the five civilizations had gathered and fifteen Level-10 Beings had appeared, and wondered about the two Level-11 practitioners expected to arrive.

Saine met the Lord of Bright Radiance, who offered him rare Light God Race materials and sought his support for opening a path to the Higher Dimensional Plane. With Pure World White Lotus’s help, Saine began trading his surplus creations for rare materials and specimens, and joined a high-level trade fair that might later include the Level-11 Sea Mirror Woman.

• Saine met the Lord of Bright Radiance, who treated him respectfully and gave him high-grade rule materials from the Light God Race.
• The Lord of Bright Radiance revealed that he supported opening a path to the Higher Dimensional Plane, and Saine accepted his gifts while focusing on his research.
• Pure World White Lotus introduced Saine to powerful beings from other civilizations and proposed trading his idle potions, Magic Conductors, and low-grade Civilization Supreme Treasures for needed materials and specimens.
• Saine agreed that exchanging goods with experts of comparable strength could help him obtain rare Rule Materials.
• Saine attended a small-scale trade fair organized by Pure World White Lotus and others, where every participant was at least a Level-8 Peak Dominator and the Level-11 Sea Mirror Woman might later appear.

At the Illusory Sea Maze trade fair, Saine found a special chip offered by the Level-8 Peak earth-element Dominator Fang Yuan and learned it came from the Different Time-Space called Infinite Space. Saine wanted the chip, but Fang Yuan asked for a lotus seed or comparable restorative resource, so Saine proposed another way to trade.

• Saine entered the secure trade fair in the Illusory Sea Maze with Pure World White Lotus and Little Tenth, where experts displayed their goods inside private energy barriers.
• Saine spotted a special chip in the barrier of a Level-8 Peak earth-element Dominator and asked where it came from.
• Fang Yuan explained that he had obtained the chip as spoils after completing dangerous missions in the Different Time-Space called Infinite Space, but could not use it.
• Saine offered to buy the chip, and Fang Yuan requested a lotus seed from Pure World White Lotus or an equivalent restorative life-element resource.
• Saine considered the price and told Fang Yuan that they might trade another way.

Saine traded part of the Root-Touching Rule secret art to Fang Yuan in exchange for a mysterious chip that had caught the Magic Cube and Skynet’s attention. He and the Pure World White Lotus then explored the trade fair’s Rule Nodes, where their immense wealth let them acquire rare materials.

• Saine offered Fang Yuan the Root-Touching Rule secret art as an alternative to Pure World White Lotus seeds, which the injured Level-8 Peak Dominator had wanted for healing.
• Fang Yuan accepted the deal, giving Saine the chip in exchange for a Memory Crystal containing part of the secret art’s principles.
• The Pure World White Lotus asked Saine whether the chip was important, and they discussed the unknown Infinite Space it came from.
• Saine browsed the Rule Nodes and found several rare materials, using his personal wealth to trade for the items he wanted.
• When Saine lacked suitable barter goods, the Pure World White Lotus used her own considerable wealth to buy materials for him.

Saine and Pure World White Lotus traded extensively at the fair, drawing attention as wealthy buyers, before joining the elite trading session. There, Saine met Sea Mirror Woman and spotted Super Saiyan Vegeta, whose goods from the Primordial Universe Time-Space drew keen interest.

• Saine and Pure World White Lotus encountered old acquaintances at the fair, while Crimson Flame Civilization traders initially resisted doing business with him.
• Saine offered increasingly valuable goods for the Crimson Flame Civilization’s rare flames, winning over the Flame Creatures and trading widely with Pure World White Lotus.
• Saine met Sea Mirror Woman, the Level-11 leader of the Water Mirror Civilization, and wondered whether she had brought the Mirror Maze.
• Saine and Pure World White Lotus entered the central trading area, where Lord of Bright Radiance welcomed them and Super Saiyan Vegeta was already present.
• Sea Mirror Woman and Saine showed interest in Vegeta’s goods from the Primordial Universe Time-Space.

At a trading fair for Transcendence Realm practitioners, the Sea Mirror Woman offered a one-time Rule Red Rope and coordinates to a dangerous land that might contain ancient Super Civilization ruins. Saine bought the coordinates, while Vegeta offered Level-10 Being Heart Core Fragments and privately reached an agreement with Saine.

• Divine Venerable Miao Bo traded a Water Element Rules crystal sphere to the Pure World White Lotus for a Wood Element Rule Treasure.
• The Sea Mirror Woman offered a one-time Rule Red Rope in exchange for a Level-10 Being's rule core or fragments, but no one completed the trade.
• The Sea Mirror Woman offered coordinates to a Rule Dangerous Land that might contain ancient Super Civilization ruins, and Saine bought a set.
• Vegeta offered shattered Level-10 Being Heart Core Fragments in exchange for special Life Element rule medicinal fluids to temper his body.
• Vegeta secretly spoke to Saine, who considered his proposal and nodded in agreement.

After a successful trade fair, Saine learned that the Five Super Civilizations had nearly finished preparing to attack the Darkness Source Civilization, whose forces were greatly outnumbered. The chapter ended with Rocky explaining the Light God Race’s assigned targets and the Lord of Radiance preparing Angel Legions for the campaign.

• Saine offered to cooperate with Sea Mirror Woman later to obtain her powerful rule red cord.
• The Five Super Civilizations completed preparations for war as their forces and intelligence about the Darkness Source Civilization gathered in the Illusory Sea Maze.
• Saine learned that the Darkness Source Civilization had three Level-11 Beings but only five remaining Level-10 Beings, and worried that it might receive aid from a dark higher-dimensional time-space.
• The Five Super Civilizations assigned themselves separate combat directions, while seventeen top-level civilizations joined the allied forces.
• Rocky told Saine that the Light God Race would attack three Star Sectors, and the Lord of Radiance prepared Angel Legions for them.

The five Super Civilizations prepared their assault on the Darkness Source Civilization, while Saine learned what the Light God Race and Locke’s forces would contribute. The Crimson Flame Civilization launched the first attack, but the Darkness Source Civilization resisted fiercely, and the war began with neither side securing an early decisive advantage.

• Saine learned that the Light God Race would commit its forces to the war, while the Supreme God and other Level-11 practitioners headed for the front lines but would initially hold back.
• The Lord of Radiance told Saine that Locke’s Destruction Divine Kingdom would support the Light God Race, bringing Locke and several Level-11 practitioners, including Vegeta.
• After nearly four thousand years of preparation, the Crimson Flame Civilization became the first Super Civilization to attack the Darkness Source Civilization’s native star sector.
• The Darkness Source Civilization, having anticipated the invasion and prepared for war, resisted the simultaneous attacks despite the five Super Civilizations’ plan to encircle it.
• The Darkness Source Civilization fought desperately because the Light Universe’s conditions made survival difficult for its dark-attribute civilization, and its prospects would worsen if it were reduced to remnants.

The Crimson Flame Civilization, Light God Race, and Water Mirror Civilization launched fierce attacks on the Darkness Source Civilization, followed by the Moonlight Civilization and Green Vine Civilization. The allied forces gained the advantage across most fronts, while the Darkness Source Civilization relied on its native Star Sectors’ hostile environments to delay them.

• The Crimson Flame Civilization continued escalating its attacks after its early setbacks, and the Light God Race joined the war with a planned assault on the Darkness Source Civilization’s homeland.
• The Sea Mirror Woman arrived at the Illusory Sea Maze Battlefield as the Water Mirror Civilization attacked, though she and the Crimson Flame Fire God held back from direct combat.
• The Moonlight Civilization committed substantial forces and coordinated operations with the Light God Race, while the Green Vine Civilization attacked alongside allied Top-Level Civilizations and offered restorative items for sale.
• The 72nd Grade Pure World White Lotus left Saine to supervise the Green Vine Civilization’s frontline campaign.
• The allied forces gained the advantage in more than seventy percent of the war zones, but the Darkness Source Civilization used its native Star Sectors’ death- and darkness-filled environments to slow their advance.

Saine and Little Tenth stayed in the middle and rear areas of the war to acquire and trade Darkness Source Civilization spoils, while Little Tenth prepared to build the Minghe Empire in this time-space. Saine cooperated with Lord of Radiance to purchase resources for the Light God Race, and their war profiteering echoed Locke’s larger role as a middleman.

• Saine used his spare time at a rear base for research and bought Darkness Source Civilization materials that other civilizations could not use.
• Little Tenth withdrew from the frontline to help Saine gather resources for the Minghe Empire, whose development could benefit from her eventual Level-9 breakthrough.
• Lord of Radiance asked Saine to purchase negative-attribute spoils on behalf of the Light God Race using its resources.
• Saine and Locke privately joked about being small and large war middlemen, while Locke’s connections let him distribute resources among powerful factions.
• Vegeta, Ozman, and Saine’s other subordinates fought on the frontline, and Ozman planned to give the spoils he seized to Little Tenth and the Minghe Empire.
• Ozman reunited with Gromz, who had become Saine’s Level-8 Peak Mechanical Civilization enforcer, and quietly hoped Gromz might still help the Minghe Empire.

For three thousand years, the Five Super Civilizations steadily broke through the Darkness Source Civilization’s defenses, while Saine continued his experiments and received reports from the front. After leaving his laboratory, Saine traveled to the Light God Race’s battlefield and asked which region remained hardest to conquer.

• The Five Super Civilizations overwhelmed the Darkness Source Civilization along the Illusory Sea Maze front, while forces from the Dark Universe Time-Space provided limited reinforcements and equipment.
• The Red-Clothed Little Girl and Little White joined the fighting, reporting difficult opponents to Saine as the war continued for another three thousand years.
• Saine’s Magic Cube absorbed the special Technology Side Rule Chip, gaining subtle growth but no fundamental transformation.
• Saine learned that battlefield spoils and rare resources were increasing, then decided to visit the Light God Race’s main war zone.
• A Twelve-Winged Archangel told Saine that the Wheel Star Territory was currently the hardest region to conquer.
