As Locke’s assault wore Ebony and the Darkness Sword Organization down, the spread of the Light God Race’s faith and influence continued to strengthen their position.

• After receiving no reinforcements, Ebony fought Locke for nearly a thousand years, then weakened as his forces suffered heavy casualties, collapsed morale, and lost extensive territory.

Destruction Demon God Locke swept through the remaining enemy forces on the Light Universe Time-Space Battlefield, defeating Darkness Sword Ebony and helping the Lord of Eternal Day crush Duolie’s Qisha Time-Space Legion. After more than five thousand years of fighting, Locke chose to consolidate his gains by transferring conquered territories to the Light God Race rather than immediately annihilating the weakened enemies.

• Locke’s forces captured most of Ebony’s territory, killed several of his Level-11 subordinates, and drove the Darkness Sword Organization from its occupied Star Sectors.

• Locke decided against immediately exterminating the remaining forces and arranged for conquered territories to be handed over to the Light God Race.

• The Moonlight Goddess’s avatar asked a Level-9 High-Level Intelligent Robot to contact Master Saine and offered to lead the Moonlight Civilization in pledging allegiance to him and serving the Mechanical Civilization.

Mechanical God Emperor Saine accepted the Moonlight Civilization’s surrender, securing its allegiance and the Moonlight Treasure Box as the Mechanical Civilization prepared for a new threat in Gear Time-Space. He ordered the Moonlight Goddess to move her entire civilization within five hundred years, warning that failure would leave it exposed to hostile forces.

• The Moonlight Goddess offered the Moonlight Civilization’s submission to Saine and promised him unrestricted use of the Moonlight Treasure Box.

The civilization arrived in Gear Time-Space, where its light powers could help resist the invading Evil Swamp forces.

• The Moonlight Goddess accepted Saine’s ultimatum and mobilized Moonlight Civilization for an urgent migration to Gear Time-Space.
• Over five hundred years, Moonlight Civilization transported sixty percent of its movable assets and saved the Moonlight Essence Star Arc, while abandoning most other holdings.

• Saine examined a rule test tube containing blood from the Alarm Clock Girl and Moonlight Essence from the Moonlight Treasure Box.

The Evil Spirit King descended on the Gear Time-Space Battlefield to devour valuable targets and strengthen himself, then assessed the forces resisting the Evil Swamp invasion.

Gear Time-Space’s forces responded resolutely as Evil Swamp Time-Space’s armies gathered near the front.

• The Evil Spirit King's arrival rallied Evil Swamp Time-Space's legions, and Saine left his secluded research to refocus on the battlefield.
