Saine and Secluded Bamboo Supreme discussed smuggling resources to the Evil Tide Civilization and the unknown whereabouts of the other Three Supremes. Secluded Bamboo Supreme could not locate the Undying Supreme or Demon Fallen Supreme, while Saine considered how the civilization’s leaders’ different paths had shaped their strength.

• Saine and Secluded Bamboo Supreme discussed the difficulties of secretly transporting the purple demon flames and a Level-13 Lord of Dimension’s rule-skin, while ordinary development resources could be smuggled more easily.
• Saine explained that a steady supply of lower-level resources could strengthen the Evil Tide Civilization’s legions and help its high-level practitioners advance.

Saine managed Mechanical Civilization’s affairs while Water Mirror Civilization relocated to the Gear Time-Space amid escalating conflict over abandoned territories in the Light Universe Time-Space. After returning to research, Saine created a new Level-11 mechanical combat force, controlled by Mechanical Second Brother, strengthening Mechanical Civilization’s high-end forces.

• Saine warned his Core High-Level to remain vigilant against the Evil Swamp Time-Space Invasion Legion and told Ghost Brake Woman to contact Jiang Qi; Duan Ning returned to assist Dao Ancestor Hongjun.
• Water Mirror Civilization relocated its core forces to the Gear Time-Space, while dependent World Civilizations followed and sought its protection.
• Water Mirror Civilization’s abandoned territories and resources sparked clashes among Light Universe Time-Space factions as Destruction Demon God Locke continued his seclusion and pursued a breakthrough.
• Saine resumed his research and used Mechanical Fusion Arcane Truth to combine mechanical units, platforms, and components into a new Level-11 war body.
• Mechanical Second Brother took control of the new mechanical combat force, which possessed Level-11 combat power though it was weaker than the God of Machines.

Saine completed a new fusion framework for Mechanical Second Brother, raising him to Level-11 Combat Power while separating him from the God of Machines' original fusion system. Saine planned to build a legion of stable branch fusion units before eventually rebuilding a stronger God of Machines, while also pursuing resources from the Demon Cave Time-Space.

• Saine chose Mechanical Second Brother for his exceptional size, durability, and compatibility with mechanical war platforms.
• Saine separated Mechanical Second Brother from the God of Machines' fusion sequence and fused him with elite platforms, components, and Rule Fragments.
• Mechanical Second Brother reached Level-11 Combat Power, though his new fusion foundation made it difficult to rejoin the God of Machines' original system.
• Saine accepted a reduction in the God of Machines' strength to avoid overloading its damaged foundation and planned to develop additional fusion lineages for the Decepticons, Optimus Prime, and other units.
• Saine planned to combine the seasoned Level-11 fusion units into a stronger, more stable God of Machines in the future.
• Saine looked beyond the Mechanical Civilization's fusion research toward obtaining Purple Demon Flames and the rule skin flakes of a Level-13 Being.

The Water Mirror Civilization continued moving its resources into Gear Time-Space and helped persuade the Earth Element Golden Wall World Cluster to consider migrating. Saine learned that the Moonlight Civilization had approached the Water Mirror Civilization to ask about settling in Gear Time-Space, and he began weighing its value as a potential recruit.

• The Water Mirror Civilization transported its remaining resources from Light Universe Time-Space while its leaders and Saine’s allies encouraged it to build ties with the Earth Element Golden Wall World Cluster.
• The Water Mirror Civilization’s envoys described life in Gear Time-Space to the Earth Elemental Beings, persuading some to consider moving even though most had not decided.
• Saine left the Mountain Giant King and the Earth Element Golden Wall World Cluster without direct pressure, expecting worsening conditions in Light Universe Time-Space to make them more receptive later.
• The Moonlight Civilization’s envoys approached the Water Mirror Civilization and asked about its living conditions, benefits, and protection in Gear Time-Space.
• The Water Mirror Civilization reported the visit to Saine, who considered the Moonlight Civilization’s value and the possibility of recruiting members the Light God Race could not absorb.

The Moonlight Civilization struggled to find a secure future as the Mechanical Civilization kept it at a distance and the Light God Race grew ever more powerful. The Moonlight Goddess rejected merging her people into the Light God Race and recognized that their fate depended chiefly on the Lord of Radiance.

• Saine’s Mechanical Civilization kept its dealings with the Moonlight Civilization cool and noncommittal, despite the Moonlight Goddess’s efforts to arrange a meeting and discuss cooperation.
• The Moonlight Civilization’s leaders feared for their future as the Light God Race expanded and their own civilization remained too weak to stand independently.
• The Moonlight Goddess considered whether her people should merge into the Light God Race, then rejected abandoning the Moonlight Civilization’s independent legacy.
• The Moonlight Goddess concluded that the Lord of Radiance, rather than the Light God Race’s Supreme God or Creation God, held the greatest influence over the Moonlight Civilization’s fate.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun completed a third batch of Rule Jade Pills and sent most of them to Destruction Demon God Locke to aid his impending breakthrough. Locke received the pills and continued preparing to reach Level-13, while Duan Ning chose to cultivate and practice alchemy in seclusion.

• Hongjun finished refining the third batch of Jade pills, kept some for himself, and ordered Duan Ning to deliver the rest to Locke.
• Duan Ning carried the pills to the Destruction Divine Kingdom, where True Person Ziyin and True Person Miaoyi received them and hurried toward Locke.
• Duan Ning decided to refine her alchemy knowledge and Green Vine Civilization materials in seclusion instead of returning to Gear Time-Space to visit Saine.
• True Person Miaoyi delivered the pills to Locke, who accepted them and continued preparing for his breakthrough amid the Destruction Rule currents.
• True Person Miaoyi left Locke alone as he sat on the 108-grade Destruction Rule Lotus Platform and focused on completing his transformation toward Level-13.

As Locke remained in seclusion to pursue a level-13 breakthrough, his allies guarded him while hostile factions weighed the risks of interfering and continued exploiting Light Universe Time-Space. The battlefield remained in a tense stalemate, and the Moonlight Goddess quietly prepared an escape route for Moonlight Civilization.

• Locke's growing destruction-rule pressure unsettled the battlefield, but Kakarot, Despair Matriarch, and Dao Ancestor Hongjun protected his seclusion from hostile interference.
• Locke's promises to expel invaders and carry the war into their home time-spaces strengthened his allies' hopes, especially those of the Light God Race and Lord of Eternal Day.
• The Creation God watched Locke's advancement with hope and unease, knowing it could shape Light Universe Time-Space's future and his own path to level 13.
• Dark Nether Death God, Ebony, and Duolie continued plundering resources and secretly stealing Light Universe Time-Space's origin rule power rather than risk an attack on Locke.
• The Moonlight Goddess sensed a looming catastrophe and decided to seek a safe retreat for Moonlight Civilization through the Mechanical Civilization.

The Moonlight Goddess sought the Mechanical Civilization’s protection as the Moonlight Civilization faced possible division between the Light God Race and Mechanical Civilization. Meanwhile, Salamander Grayke sensed the approaching danger on the Light Universe Time-Space Battlefield but realized he could not simply abandon the vast trade network tying him to the dimensional powers.

• The Moonlight Goddess strengthened ties with the Mechanical Civilization, whose leaders needed more light-element forces for their battles against demonic enemies.
• Saine planned to consult the Light God Race’s leaders before deciding the Moonlight Civilization’s fate, while the chapter described how its territories and people might be divided or absorbed.
• Salamander Grayke grew increasingly uneasy about the worsening battlefield and considered withdrawing from his trade operations.
• Grayke’s trading network had expanded across many dimensions and enriched him and the Bewilderment Behemoth, though he had previously surrendered half his agreed profit share to protect his position.
• Grayke realized that abandoning the network would anger the Lords of Dimensional Planes and could make him the next Level-12 casualty on the battlefield.

Salamander Grayke sought the Bewilderment Behemoth’s protection as he anticipated the upheaval that would follow Locke’s breakthrough to Level 13. Meanwhile, Saine advanced the Transformers Plan, supporting Decepticons and Optimus Prime’s growth with the Metal Spark while improving his fusion technology, before returning to experiments with Bing Xin.

• Salamander Grayke warned the Bewilderment Behemoth that Locke’s impending breakthrough could lead to a sweeping war and asked whether it should retreat to the Bewilderment Time-Space.
• The Bewilderment Behemoth acknowledged the threat by opening its eyes and nodding to Salamander Grayke.
• Saine’s Transformers Plan stalled because Decepticons and the other robots lacked the strength and compatibility to serve as fusion hubs, so they volunteered for frontline battles in Gear Time-Space.
• Saine refined his fusion technology and gave Decepticons, Optimus Prime, and the other robots the Metal Spark to strengthen their combat performance and growth.
• Saine resumed his laboratory research with Bing Xin as his experiment specimen.

Bing Xin asked Saine about the Light Universe while helping with an experiment, then Saine secluded himself to refine a Purple Demon Flames wisp delivered by the Evil Tide Civilization. He emerged amid a fiery eruption after Jiang Qi and Heavenly Wing Demon Lord warned that Evil Swamp Time-Space’s forces were preparing to invade Gear Time-Space.

• Bing Xin reflected on the Water Mirror Civilization’s prosperity under Saine’s protection and asked him about the situation in the Light Universe, but he gave her only a brief reassurance.
• Saine began mechanized modifications on three Level-11 Beings from the Qihuang Castle Civilization and the Gear Clockwork Civilization.
• The Evil Tide Civilization delivered a wisp of Purple Demon Flames in a silver-white Rule Secret Metal cube, and Saine began refining it with Ash Fire, Sacred Flame, and Source Fire from the Ancestor of Eternal Fire.
• Saine shut himself away in his laboratory, preventing Bing Xin and his wives from visiting while he worked through a dangerous bottleneck in his Fire Element Rules Domain.
• Purple Demon Flames erupted from the laboratory, and Saine stepped outside as Jiang Qi and Heavenly Wing Demon Lord reported that Evil Swamp Time-Space’s prepared legion would soon land across Gear Time-Space.

Saine investigated Evil Swamp Time-Space’s two Level-12 Peak powers and suspected its Lord of Dimensional Planes had a rule attribute that made its name impossible to discuss safely. Jiang Qi’s account portrayed Wuzhuo as a quiet, rule-based entity more likely than the ambitious Evil Spirit King to eventually become a Lord of Dimension.

• Saine compared Heavenly Wing Demon Lord’s praise of the Evil Spirit King with Jiang Qi’s harsher view of his impulsive nature and limited prospects.
• Saine connected Jiang Qi’s guarded hints to the possibility that Evil Swamp Time-Space’s Lord of Dimensional Planes had a dangerous, unnameable Rule Attribute.
• Saine learned from Jiang Qi that Wuzhuo was a shapeless lifeform formed from Evil Swamp Time-Space’s pollution rules.
• Jiang Qi described Wuzhuo as quiet and patient, while the Evil Spirit King led factions and fought openly for power.
• After the Demon Cave Time-Space campaign, Wuzhuo secured gains and authority comparable to the Evil Spirit King’s and held an advantage in eroding the realm’s Rule Origin.

After learning that the Evil Spirit King and Wuzhuo were both targeting Gear Time-Space, Saine prepared for the renewed war and tested his newly refined Purple Demon Flame on the front lines. The chapter ended as his Flame Giant struck at an Evil Swamp Time-Space Level-11 Being.

• Jiang Qi told Saine that most of the invading Evil Swamp Time-Space army belonged to the Evil Spirit King's forces, while the rest carried Wuzhuo's aura.
• Saine considered how Gear Time-Space's abundant Origin Rules and his own resources had drawn the two Level-12 Peak Beings' attention.
• Saine emerged from the God of Machines' private Rule Vortex and headed for the frontline as Mechanical Civilization's forces prepared for battle.
• Mechanical Second Brother, the Decepticons, Optimus Prime, and Bing Xin mobilized their legions and advanced toward the battlefield.
• Saine unleashed the Purple Demon Flames around the God of Machines, forming a Flame Giant that attacked a nearby Evil Swamp Time-Space Level-11 Being.

Mechanical God Emperor Saine struck down a Level-11 Evil Swamp octopus and led Gear Time-Space forces in a coordinated assault on enemy-held starfields. As the offensive spread, Saine remained prepared to retreat if necessary, while aiming to preserve the Mechanical Civilization’s chance to grow and return stronger.

• Saine assessed the Evil Swamp invasion and considered withdrawing the Mechanical Civilization if Gear Time-Space became untenable, while recognizing that its allies might resist abandoning their homeland.
• Saine unleashed purple demon flames and killed the Level-11 black octopus before it could recover or fight back.
• Saine’s attack signaled the Gear Time-Space legions to launch a broad assault against Evil Swamp-occupied starfields.
• Thomas and Alarm Clock Girl led Elite Legions around the enemy flanks, while Bing Xin advanced behind a vast glacier that froze enemy beings and souls.
• Saine’s forces targeted territories held by legions subordinate to the Blue-eyed Octopus, the Evil Spirit King, and Wuzhuo, using intelligence supplied by Heavenly Wing Demon Lord and Jiang Qi.

Saine killed a Level-11 black octopus while Evil Swamp forces closed in, but Star Mark noticed that Saine’s Mechanical God Rule True Body was weaker than in the previous war. Star Mark attacked to test Saine and seek a breakthrough, while Bing Xin arrived as their battle was about to begin.

• Saine overwhelmed and refined the black octopus as Evil Swamp Level-11 Beings quietly surrounded his Mechanical God Rule True Body.
• The Alarm Clock Girl intercepted the Blue-eyed Octopus, while Miniature Lizard Dragon Ga fought Thomas elsewhere on the battlefield.
• Star Mark realized Saine’s power was only Level-12 Late-Stage because the other Mechanical Civilization powerhouses were not fused with him.
• Saine killed the black octopus and obtained its rule skin and a jet-black Rule Stone containing the Origin of Evil Swamp Time-Space.
• Star Mark arrived with his Star Wheel Dimension Supreme Treasure and attacked Saine to test his strength and temper his rules.
• Saine turned to face Star Mark, and Bing Xin arrived as she wondered whether bringing the Water Mirror Civilization into the war had been the right decision.

Bing Xin and Saine fought on the battlefield as Saine used his duel with Star Mark to refine his control of the God of Machines and its rules. Saine’s newly mastered purple demon flames alarmed the Evil Swamp Time-Space forces, leaving Blue-eyed Octopus fearful that the battle was heading somewhere unforeseen.

• Bing Xin suppressed the Evil Swamp Time-Space Level-11 Beings while reflecting on Water Mirror Civilization’s precarious position and its alliance with Mechanical Civilization.
• Saine battled Star Mark with the God of Machines, steadily improving his command of its power while planning to study it further by dismantling its components.
• Star Mark and Saine each treated the other as a whetstone, intensifying their attacks as Heavenly Wing Demon Lord, Agulos, and other Level-12 Beings watched warily.
• Saine fought without several major external enhancements, relying chiefly on his Magic Staff and purple demon flames as his cultivation and understanding of rules advanced.
• The Evil Swamp Time-Space forces recognized Saine’s demonic aura from Demon Cave Time-Space, and Blue-eyed Octopus grew increasingly uneasy about the battle’s direction.

Mechanical God Emperor Saine and Star Mark fought while discussing her desire for regular sparring and Saine’s offer to cooperate in exchange for access to test subjects. They agreed to trade dimensional resources, and Star Mark described Evil Swamp Time-Space’s Dimension Lord as a monster without emotions.

• Star Mark revealed that her repeated battles with Saine had helped her approach the Level-12 Peak realm, and she asked him to spar with her more often.
• Saine agreed to spar in exchange for cooperation with his Truth Experiments, and Star Mark asked what kind of cooperation he wanted.
• Saine proposed trading cross-dimensional resources, and Star Mark accepted because the arrangement could benefit both their forces.
• Saine asked Star Mark about Evil Swamp Time-Space’s search for its Dimension Lord, and she said the being was a monster without emotions.

During his battle with Star Mark, Saine learned that the Lord of Dimensional Planes had devoured the former First Temple Lord and would consume Evil Spirit King or Wuzhuo if either tried to advance to Level 13. A brief encounter with the Lord’s terrifying rules left Saine shaken but curious, while support from Great God Pan Gu helped him remain clear-headed.

• Star Mark told Saine that the Lord of Dimensional Planes had devoured the former First Temple Lord and would consume Evil Spirit King or Wuzhuo if either approached Level 13.
• Saine questioned Star Mark about Evil Swamp Time-Space’s secrets, but she stopped answering when their discussion touched the Lord’s forbidden Rules Domain.
• Saine glimpsed a colossal entity and twelve pillars of rules before an ominous pressure ended his perception.
• Saine sensed a distant force supporting him and traced it to the Material Star Realm and Great God Pan Gu.
• Saine returned his attention to the Lord of Dimensional Planes, more eager than ever to learn what it was.

Saine endured the Lord of Dimensional Planes of Evil Swamp Time-Space’s backlash while Star Mark’s revelation left her weakened and haunted by memories of the First Temple Lord’s death. As the battle resumed, Saine judged Star Mark a valuable potential recruit and considered what offer might win her over.

• Saine used his Divine Soul to investigate the Lord of Dimensional Planes of Evil Swamp Time-Space, relying on Great God Pan Gu’s white light of rules to withstand the backlash.
• Star Mark suffered damage from the backlash and remembered how the Lord of Dimensional Planes had devoured the First Temple Lord a million years earlier.
• Star Mark’s purple-gold blood spilled during her battle with Saine, though onlookers assumed his attack had injured her.
• Saine recovered his clarity, reignited the Purple Flame Giant’s Rule True Body, and launched a fiercer attack on Star Mark.
• Saine concluded that Star Mark was a powerful potential recruit and considered winning her over with an enticing offer.

Saine fought Star Mark while refining his Demon Flame Giant Rule True Body and assessed the worsening balance of forces between Gear Time-Space and Evil Swamp Time-Space. He planned to yield peripheral territory and consolidate his forces to buy time for breakthroughs, research, and the strengthening of his allies.

• Saine continued his fierce duel with Star Mark, tempering his control of the Demon Flame Giant Rule True Body.
• Blue-eyed Octopus and Miniature Lizard Dragon Ga remained wary of Saine and waited for Evil Spirit King and Wuzhuo before risking a major fight.
• Saine judged that Gear Time-Space could not sustain a war of attrition against Evil Swamp Time-Space’s stronger forces.
• Saine planned to withdraw from some peripheral star sectors and concentrate Gear Time-Space’s defenses rather than attempt to hold every front.
• Saine considered working with Jiang Qi and Heavenly Wing Demon Lord to ease tensions and secure time for his own advances, Mechanical Civilization’s research, and Locke’s growth.

Saine and Star Mark fought a prolonged duel on the Gear Time-Space frontline, secretly establishing a way to communicate while each gained from the battle. Over the following several thousand years, Gear Time-Space’s defenders surrendered two and a half star districts, and the Evil Swamp invaders began plundering exposed blank territories.

• Saine and Star Mark fought for more than seven hundred years, treating their clash as a sparring match while Saine refined his rule control and mechanical research.
• Saine struck Star Mark’s chest and secretly left a concealed communication crystal inside her shattered Rule True Body.
• Star Mark understood Saine’s message and withdrew from the Level-12 battlefield with her injuries.
• Over the next four or five thousand years, the Gear Time-Space Homeland faction abandoned two and a half star districts under the invaders’ pressure.
• The Evil Swamp invaders turned from heavily defended fronts toward exposed blank star territories and plundered their civilizations and resources.

Over several thousand years, Saine refined his Mechanical God fusion research, creating powerful Level-11 combat units while considering how to incorporate Bing Xin's water and ice powers into a future form. As the war in Gear Time-Space remained deadlocked despite the invaders' territorial gains, Saine eyed the weakened Lord of Dimension of Demon Cave Time-Space as a possible future opportunity and waited for the balance to change.

• Saine completed the mechanized transformation of a Level-11 Castle-type Gear Being and a Level-11 Clock-type Gear Being, developing giant fusion units and time-powered mechanical fighters.
• Saine expanded his experiments to include Bing Xin and considered using her water and ice powers as an external attachment and defensive core for a future fusion form.
• The Evil Swamp Time-Space invaders occupied more buffer territories, while Qihuang Castle Civilization and Time Clock Civilization supported Saine's strategy of yielding those regions.
• Nearly four thousand years passed without Evil Spirit King or Wuzhuo joining the fighting, as both remained focused on the weakened Level-13 Lord of Dimension of Demon Cave Time-Space.
• Saine learned of the Lord of Dimension's frail state and considered seeking a share of the Demon Cave spoils, but held back until he gained more power and the balance shifted.
