Destruction Demon God Locke watched the Material Star Realm’s battle with his wives while recovering from the war in Light Universe Time-Space and absorbing its excess Destruction power. With Saine occupied defending Gear Time-Space from an invasion, Locke summoned Befu to help assess how much time had passed in the Material Star Realm.

• Locke and his wives observed Wizard Civilization and Zerg forces fighting in the Flowing Light Retrospective World, but its chaotic time rules prevented Locke from determining how many years had passed.

Madam Befu reunited with her family at the Zerg base and watched Blade Queen Lisa fight a black-robed enemy in the Flowing Light Retrospective World. Befu and Locke realized the Material Star Realm’s time had passed far less quickly than expected, and Locke arranged for Saine to receive the evidence for investigation.

• Madam Befu arrived at the Zerg base and watched Lisa battle a black-robed person while Locke supported her across dimensions.
• Befu recognized the Wizard Civilization leaders and estimated how much time had passed since Saine and the others left the Material Star Realm.

• Destruction Demon God Locke watched the Material Star Realm with his family and suggested they might see the old-timers of Wizard Civilization again.
• Mechanical God Emperor Saine and Evil Spirit King fought an increasingly intense duel, each gaining insights into higher levels of power and rules.
• Saine sensed that his Divine Soul and life rules were changing and that he was nearing a breakthrough from Level-11 Peak to Level-12.
• Blue-eyed Octopus attacked Mechanical Civilization’s homeland while Long Ga’s forces struck Qihuang Castle Civilization, but the defenders held firm and their allies Agulos, Heavenly Wing Demon Lord, and Jiang Qi offered limited support.
• The Mountain Giant King, empowered by Saine’s Heart of Dimension Magic Necklace and showing signs of mechanization, blocked repeated assaults and unnerved Evil Swamp Time-Space’s high-level fighters.

After three thousand years of stalemate in Gear Time-Space, Wuzhuo descended to join Evil Swamp Time-Space’s campaign, prompting the Evil Spirit King to withdraw from his fight with Saine. The opposing forces became divided and their attacks slowed, giving Saine time to recover and prepare for the next battles.

• Saine and the Evil Spirit King fought through three thousand years of war without either side breaking the frontline.
• Wuzhuo descended onto the Gear Time-Space battlefield after growing suspicious of the Evil Spirit King’s prolonged fight with Saine and seeking his own share of the spoils.
• The Evil Spirit King withdrew from the frontline rather than fight alongside Wuzhuo, shifting the balance and tensions within Evil Swamp Time-Space’s forces.
• The Blue-eyed Octopus and other Level-12 fighters reduced their attacks, while Agulos and the Heavenly Wing Demon Lord continued to avoid committing themselves.
• Saine used the lull to restore his Source Power, repair Mechanical Civilization units, and reorganize his forces, while Jiang Qi helped him monitor Wuzhuo’s camp.

Saine monitored the uneasy ceasefire in Gear Time-Space and learned that Locke’s forces would be unable to provide direct support for thousands of years. With a chance to advance to Level 12 during the lull, Saine considered how to strengthen his position with resources from the Destruction Divine Kingdom and possible help from Hongjun.

• Wuzhuo arrived in Gear Time-Space, and the Evil Spirit King withdrew his troops, easing the immediate threat to Saine and the Mechanical Civilization.
• Saine watched the rebuilding forces in Gear Time-Space and followed the quiet developments in Light Universe Time-Space, where Locke continued stabilizing his Level-13 realm.

• Saine recognized the ceasefire as an opportunity to break through to Level 12 after his battles with the Evil Spirit King.
• Madam Befu offered war resources from the Destruction Divine Kingdom and advised Saine to contact Dao Ancestor Hongjun, who could join the Gear Time-Space battlefield and seek a breakthrough there.

Saine invited Dao Ancestor Hongjun to Gear Time-Space and offered support for his attempt to reach Level 13. Hongjun accepted and departed Light Universe Time-Space, while Locke looked ahead to new wars and broader ambitions.

• After Madam Befu's reminder, Saine contacted Dao Ancestor Hongjun and offered the Heart of Dimension and the Magic Necklace, along with Gear Time-Space's assistance, for Hongjun's breakthrough.
• Hongjun weighed the prospects of advancing in Light Universe Time-Space against Saine's offer and chose to travel to Gear Time-Space.
• Hongjun briefly greeted Destruction Demon God Locke before leaving, and Locke's faction let him go without objection.
• Locke considered future campaigns against Dark Universe Time-Space, Qisha Time-Space, and the dimensional plane of the Darkness Sword Organization, as well as Saine's invitations to other time-spaces.
• Locke looked toward Hongjun's possible Level-13 breakthrough as a step toward pursuing his wider plans.

Destruction Demon God Locke and several other major dimensional powers supported Saine’s Mechanical Civilization as it prepared for a decisive battle in Gear Time-Space. Saine rewarded Salamander Gray Guest for his timely aid by making his caravan the Mechanical Civilization’s sole agent in Bewilderment Time-Space, then asked about the unusually reclusive Bewilderment Behemoth.

• Bili told Locke that the Destruction Divine Kingdom had long supported Saine, and that Befu had secretly provided additional assistance.
• The Light God Race, Eternal Day Time-Space, and Limitless Time-Space also supported Saine, while Rocky helped the Mechanical Civilization on the Gear Time-Space Battlefield.

• Saine asked about the Bewilderment Behemoth, and Salamander Gray Guest said it had spent the past ten thousand years quietly sleeping in a remote star domain.

Light Universe Time-Space’s supplies eased the Mechanical Civilization’s strain as Saine managed a brutal war and renewed secret trade with factions of Evil Swamp Time-Space. Jiang Qi’s account of Wuzhuo’s arrival and the growing discord among Evil Swamp’s leaders gave Saine a temporary opening to focus on cultivation.

• Light Universe Time-Space continued supplying resources that helped Saine and the Mechanical Civilization sustain the war on the Gear Time-Space Battlefield.
• Agulos and the Heavenly Wing Demon Lord resumed secret resource trades with the Mechanical Civilization after a pause, while Wuzhuo’s arrival later quieted their dealings.

• Jiang Qi explained that tension between Wuzhuo and the Evil Spirit King made an immediate general offensive from Evil Swamp Time-Space unlikely.
• Saine returned to Cube Time-Space to recover and cultivate, and could not personally welcome Dao Ancestor Hongjun when he arrived.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun arrived on the Gear Time-Space Battlefield and joined the Mechanical Civilization’s side as Wuzhuo launched a corrupting invasion. Hongjun’s sword strike halted the spreading pollution and revealed a powerful new ally for Saine’s forces.

• Dao Ancestor Hongjun accepted Saine’s invitation and flew to the front line of the Gear Time-Space Battlefield.
• Wuzhuo broke from his recent cooperation with Saine and sent Evil Swamp Time-Space legions to attack the Mechanical Civilization.
• Wuzhuo’s polluted rules rapidly corrupted the star domain around his true body and began spreading across Gear Time-Space.
• Hongjun arrived at the front line and split the polluted star domain in two with a strike from his Jade Sword.
• The Mechanical Civilization’s allies welcomed Hongjun’s arrival, while the Evil Spirit King and other Evil Swamp beings felt threatened by his power.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun and Wuzhuo fought a fierce duel on the Gear Time-Space Battlefield, revealing Hongjun’s greater progress toward the Level-13 realm. The battle drew the attention of both armies and left the Blue-eyed Octopus wary of the forces Saine might still summon.

• The Evil Spirit King watched Hongjun and Wuzhuo fight and sensed that Hongjun had advanced farther toward Level 13 than either of them.
• The Evil Spirit King wondered whether the battle might produce a Level-13 Lord of Dimensional Planes, then doubted that Hongjun could cross that final threshold so soon.
• The fighting drew the attention of the Level-12 Temple Lords and Saine’s allied leaders, including Jiang Qi, Star Mark, and the Blue-eyed Octopus.
• Jiang Qi recognized Hongjun from their time among the Three Thousand Demon Gods and felt that their strength gap was smaller than he had once believed.
• The Blue-eyed Octopus reconsidered his ambitions and decided to stay cautious as he wondered whether Saine might summon a Level-13 ally.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun fought Wuzhuo on the Gear Time-Space Battlefield while Mechanical God Emperor Saine continued his research and sent Hongjun the Heart of Dimension Magic Necklace. After activating it, Hongjun gained overwhelming support from Gear Time-Space and declared himself the Heavenly Dao as he attacked Wuzhuo.

• The Evil Spirit King and other Evil Swamp Time-Space forces watched Hongjun and Wuzhuo’s fierce duel, while battles across other fronts grew quieter.
• Mechanical God Emperor Saine remained in seclusion to pursue Level 12 and sent Intelligent Robot Number 17 to deliver the Heart of Dimension Magic Necklace to Hongjun.

• Gear Time-Space’s Origin Rules Will supported Hongjun, greatly increasing the pressure he put on Wuzhuo.
• Hongjun extended a gigantic Rule Hand toward Wuzhuo and declared, “I am the Heavenly Dao!”

Hongjun drew on Gear Time-Space’s will and unleashed overwhelming Heavenly Dao power, crushing Wuzhuo while rapidly growing stronger. Wuzhuo began considering retreat, as the Evil Spirit King condemned him for abandoning a rare chance to learn from Hongjun.

• Hongjun invoked the Source Power of Rules and Gear Time-Space’s will, unleashing Heavenly Dao might that shocked Wuzhuo and the other Level-12 fighters.
• The Evil Spirit King recognized that Hongjun had surpassed him, Wuzhuo, and Saine in power and had a clear path toward Level 13.
• Hongjun’s attacks shattered Wuzhuo’s Rule True Body and eroded its Source Power, while Saine ordered Intelligent Robots to record the battle for later study.
• The Evil Swamp Time-Space fighters grew wary of continuing the war as Hongjun’s power kept rising.
• Wuzhuo considered fleeing the battle, and the Evil Spirit King silently cursed him for giving up a chance to gain experience and insight.

Evil Spirit King joined Wuzhuo’s battle against Dao Ancestor Hongjun, turning the frontline duel into a two-on-one fight that Hongjun welcomed as a chance to temper his Great Dao and approach Level 13. As Evil Spirit King grew stronger through the battle, Wuzhuo urged him to withdraw, but Evil Spirit King refused and told him to retreat alone.

• Hongjun pressed Wuzhuo and the Evil Swamp forces back while the Gear Time-Space army advanced behind him.

• Hongjun calmly faced both opponents and used their combined attacks to push himself toward his own breakthrough.
• Wuzhuo considered withdrawing but stayed when he realized Evil Spirit King was gaining strength from the fight.
• Wuzhuo warned Evil Spirit King that their battle could help Hongjun reach Level 13 and urged him to retreat, but Evil Spirit King told him to go alone.

The Evil Spirit King and Dao Ancestor Hongjun’s duel continued as both gained insight, while the wider war between Evil Swamp Time-Space and Gear Time-Space erupted around them. Gear Time-Space’s defenders held their positions while awaiting Saine’s return from his breakthrough seclusion.

• The Evil Spirit King continued fighting Dao Ancestor Hongjun with his Evil Sword and gained insight into his evil rules.
• Hongjun wielded his Rule Jade Sword and used talismans, formations, and other dao arts against the Evil Spirit King.
• After more than two thousand years, the Blue-eyed Octopus, Miniature Lizard, Heavenly Wing Demon Lord, Agulos, and other onlookers joined the fighting.
• Star Mark led the Evil Swamp Time-Space army in an assault on Gear Time-Space’s native positions.
• Alarm Clock Girl intercepted Star Mark, while Thomas, the Mountain Giant King, the Moonlight Goddess, and Bing Xin helped defend Gear Time-Space.
• Gear Time-Space’s legions adopted a defensive stance as its leaders relied on Saine’s eventual return from seclusion to restore their advantage.

Saine broke through from Level-11 Peak to Level-12 in his laboratory while Gear Time-Space suffered heavy losses in its war against Evil Swamp Time-Space. His breakthrough went largely unnoticed as the battlefield’s attention shifted to Dao Ancestor Hongjun, whose surging power seemed to herald a possible rise to Level-13.

• The Gear Time-Space defenders held their lines against the Evil Swamp invasion, but their mid- and lower-level forces suffered mounting casualties.
• Saine completed his breakthrough from Level-11 Peak to Level-12 after more than two thousand years of work, aided by the Destruction Divine Kingdom, his truth research, and knowledge gained from wars and specimens.
• Saine’s advancement drew little notice amid the clashes between Level-12 practitioners on the battlefield.
• Dao Ancestor Hongjun’s growing aura and rule power made Evil Swamp’s Temple Lords suspect that he might be approaching Level-13.
• The fighting across the battlefield slowed as both sides turned their attention to Hongjun’s escalating confrontation with the Evil Spirit King and Wuzhuo.

Hongjun’s battle against the Evil Spirit King and Wuzhuo drove his breakthrough toward Level 13, while Saine arrived on the frontline after reaching Level 12. Saine moved to stop Star Mark from joining the fight and detected that the Gear Time-Space Will was rejecting Hongjun, weakening the protection of the Heart of Dimension Magic Necklace.

• Hongjun’s surging power convinced the battlefield’s observers that he was nearing Level 13, while most of the Evil Swamp Time-Space fighters hesitated to interfere.
• Star Mark tried to break past Alarm Clock Girl and reach Hongjun, but Saine arrived from the Mechanical Civilization rear after advancing to Level 12.
• Saine fused with the Mechanical God, whose body continued to evolve, and led a vast mechanical force toward the battlefield.
• Saine saw Star Mark fighting Alarm Clock Girl and flew to assist her before Star Mark could reach Hongjun.
• Saine sensed that the Gear Time-Space Will was rejecting Hongjun and eroding the protection provided by the Heart of Dimension Magic Necklace as Hongjun fought the Evil Spirit King and Wuzhuo.

Saine realized that Hongjun’s breakthrough in Gear Time-Space risked provoking its rejection and sought a safer place for him to advance. Saine and Jiang Qi arranged for Hongjun to break through in Demon Cave Time-Space, where the weakened realm could also be further damaged.

• Saine reflected on Hongjun’s past breakthroughs and the devastating lightning tribulations he had endured across higher-dimensional time-spaces.
• Saine concluded that Gear Time-Space, Light Universe Time-Space, and Evil Swamp Time-Space were unsuitable places for Hongjun to complete his advancement.
• Saine descended to the battlefield, held Star Mark in place, and contacted Jiang Qi to arrange a route to another time-space.
• Jiang Qi understood Saine’s intention and tacitly agreed to help.
• Saine proposed that Hongjun advance in Demon Cave Time-Space, and Hongjun accepted because it was weakened and had already been selected as a future target.

Hongjun fought the Evil Spirit King and Wuzhuo while shifting toward the rear of the Evil Swamp Time-Space front, as Saine kept Star Mark occupied and Hongjun’s Heavenly Dao pressure continued to rise. Lian Mo arrived expecting an easy victory and a share of the spoils, only to find the two Evil Swamp leaders pinned down by Hongjun.

• Hongjun followed Saine’s suggestion and gradually moved his battle with the Evil Spirit King and Wuzhuo toward the rear of the Evil Swamp Time-Space camp without alerting them.
• Saine used the Level-12 Mechanical God to suppress Star Mark, while Heavenly Wing Demon Lord and Agulos decided not to interfere with Hongjun’s apparent breakthrough.
• Destruction Divine Kingdom observers watched Hongjun’s growing power, while the hostile Level-13 Lords of Dimensional Planes remained unaware of his transformation.
• Lian Mo descended onto the Gear Time-Space battlefield intending to help Heavenly Wing Demon Lord and claim a share of the spoils.
• Lian Mo saw Hongjun suppressing the Evil Spirit King and Wuzhuo and realized why the two had not answered her messages.

Lian Mo descended onto the battlefield and was badly injured when Hongjun attacked her while fighting the Evil Spirit King and Wuzhuo. After unleashing his Chaos Treasure Orb and drawing a Level-13 Rule Thundercloud, Hongjun broke through his opponents and entered the Cross-dimensional Plane passage to Demon Cave Time-Space.

• Hongjun struck the Evil Swamp rear base as Lian Mo arrived, forcing her to block his sword and leaving wounds across her arms.
• A Rule Thundercloud gathered over the battlefield as Hongjun fought the Evil Spirit King and Wuzhuo, alarming them and Mechanical God Emperor Saine.
• Hongjun summoned his Chaos Treasure Orb and powered up, then forced Lian Mo to flee behind her silk ribbon and Golden Bowl.
• Hongjun shattered Lian Mo's defenses, wounded her, and sent her crashing into a Gear Warship before pressing past the Evil Spirit King and Wuzhuo.
• Hongjun charged through the Evil Swamp creatures and entered the passage leading to Demon Cave Time-Space.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun left the Gear Time-Space battlefield for Demon Cave Time-Space to pursue his Level-13 breakthrough, prompting several powerful fighters to follow and leaving both armies hesitant. Mechanical God Emperor Saine accepted Blue-eyed Octopus’s proposal for a temporary ceasefire, while the conflict’s attention shifted to Hongjun’s coming advancement.

• Dao Ancestor Hongjun rushed through the dimensional passage toward Demon Cave Time-Space, and the Evil Spirit King followed to witness his breakthrough and seek a possible opportunity.
• Wuzhuo gathered its shattered Decay Rule fragments into a dark cloud and pursued the Evil Spirit King.
• Mechanical God Emperor Saine stayed on the battlefield to oversee the ongoing melee, while Star Mark left for Demon Cave Time-Space and Saine let her go.
• With their leaders gone, Blue-eyed Octopus and Heavenly Wing Demon Lord ordered their forces to slow their attacks and prepare for a possible withdrawal.
• Blue-eyed Octopus sent Saine a proposal for a temporary ceasefire, and Saine agreed.

Blue-eyed Octopus negotiated a ceasefire with Mechanical God Emperor Saine as the Gear Time-Space battle subsided. Saine then invited the Evil Swamp leaders to visit Demon Cave Time-Space with him.

• Blue-eyed Octopus decided that continued fighting would waste strength and reached an agreement with Mechanical God Emperor Saine to end the fierce battle.
• After Evil Spirit King, Wu Zhuo, and Star Mark departed, Blue-eyed Octopus ordered the Evil Swamp forces to withdraw, and Agulos, Heavenly Wing Demon Lord, and Miniature Lizard Dragon Ga followed suit.
• Lian Mo, badly wounded by Dao Ancestor Hongjun, kept out of sight while Saine noted his interest in studying her Power of Emotion Rules.
• As both sides pulled their forces back, Saine invited Blue-eyed Octopus and the others to visit Demon Cave Time-Space together.
