Ebony grew increasingly anxious about Dao Ancestor Hongjun’s absence and tried to rally the Bewilderment Behemoth, but it ignored him, leaving the opposing Lords of Dimensional Planes waiting helplessly for a chance to reverse their fortunes.

• Locke observed the timeline upheaval surrounding Naige'er, Douglas, and Lisa without showing concern, and sensed that Lilith’s breakthrough to Level 11 was near.
• Locke noted that his wives and other allies had grown stronger through the war’s resources and his Level-13 rule power, while the Light Universe Time-Space remained relatively stable during Hongjun’s absence.

• Dark Nether Death God and Duolie shared Ebony’s unease but refused to keep fighting Locke’s faction, leaving the three Lords increasingly anxious and waiting for a turning point.

After nearly two thousand years of mounting pressure, Ebony decided the Darkness Sword Organization could no longer turn the war in Light Universe Time-Space in its favor.

• The Destruction Divine Kingdom detected the Darkness Sword Organization’s withdrawal and reported it to Locke, who accepted that the retreat could ease future battles against other enemies.

The final thunderbolt began to gather as the watching factions dared neither interfere nor attack Hongjun.

• Ebony cursed the Destruction Divine Kingdom and Eternal Day Time-Space as their reinforcements increased the Darkness Sword Organization’s losses, including the death of a Level-10 expert.
• Ebony sold occupied star regions to Duolie and withdrew his forces, while Duolie believed his claim that he was gathering resources for a counterattack.

• The final lightning blade formed above Hongjun as he prepared to face the tribulation’s last strike.

After the Thunder Tribulation, Saine reunited with his allies, including Zi You and her father, the Secluded Bamboo Supreme, while Wuzhuo held back from attacking the weakened Evil Spirit King. The factions watched Dao Ancestor Hongjun as a crimson, peak-Level-13 Thunder Tribulation gathered, leaving his advancement at its most dangerous point.

• Wuzhuo suppressed his urge to attack the Evil Spirit King, wary of the fragile balance among the forces in Demon Cave Time-Space and the wounded Demon Cave Master lurking nearby.
• Bing Xin cooled Saine and his Mechanical God with ice-blue energy while the Moonlight Goddess healed their Thunder Tribulation damage with her Power of Light.

• A crimson Thunder Tribulation tore through the starry sky with peak-Level-13 power, and the Dimension Will let out a distant, pained groan.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun survived the final Rule Thunder Tribulation and advanced to Level 13, but the strain of his breakthrough further devastated the Demon Cave Time-Space. After restoring his appearance, he acknowledged Saine and turned his attention to the Level-12 practitioners gathered nearby.

• Hongjun used Rule Jade pills, the Chaos Treasure Orb, and other spiritual treasures to withstand the final crimson thunder tribulation.
• The tribulation ended, and Hongjun’s Source Power and rule pressure surged as he completed his advancement to Level 13.
• The Demon Cave Time-Space’s weakened rules and depleted energy triggered widespread disasters, devastating weaker civilizations and damaging the territories of the Devil Moon Civilization, the Stein Empire, and the Evil Tide Civilization.

After Dao Ancestor Hongjun reached Level 13, he and Mechanical God Emperor Saine agreed to end the fighting with Evil Swamp Time-Space rather than risk a wider battle. Hongjun left for Gear Time-Space to stabilize his new realm, while the Demon Cave Master watched from hiding with jealousy and killing intent.

• The Evil Spirit King congratulated Hongjun on his breakthrough and offered a gift on behalf of Evil Swamp Time-Space, easing tensions with the gathered Level-12 practitioners.
• Hongjun deferred to Saine on whether to fight or make peace, and Saine decided that the exhausted sides should stop fighting and negotiate a ceasefire.

• Hongjun sensed the hidden Demon Cave Master watching him with dread and murderous intent, but remained prepared to face him if he sought revenge.
• Hongjun departed for Gear Time-Space to consolidate his Level-13 realm, and Saine understood that he had gone to secluded cultivation.

Saine accepted Lian Mo’s overture and then turned to reunite with Secluded Bamboo Supreme.

• The Evil Spirit King and Saine exchanged pleasantries after benefiting from Hongjun’s tribulation, then the Evil Spirit King began recuperating at an Evil Swamp base in Demon Cave Time-Space.
• Blue-eyed Octopus, Heavenly Wing Demon Lord, and Agulos acknowledged Saine and left, while Wuzhuo departed without offering friendship and Star Mark headed off to recover.
• Lian Mo introduced herself to Saine as Hestia, offered cooperation, and shook his hand as Saine quietly blocked her emotion-based influence.
• Lian Mo left after Saine acknowledged her overture, and Saine turned to Secluded Bamboo Supreme, who appeared relieved and pleased to see him.

After the ceasefire with Evil Swamp Time-Space, Saine arranged a handover of two cross-dimensional channels and prepared to return to Gear Time-Space to recover and plan future development.

• Saine declined Secluded Bamboo Supreme's invitation to visit the Evil Tide Civilization Main Camp because he, Thomas, and the Mountain Giant King needed time to recover.
• Saine told Secluded Bamboo Supreme that Evil Swamp Time-Space would hand over two Cross-dimensional Teleportation Channels, and Secluded Bamboo Supreme ordered troops to move toward their coordinates.
• Zi You chose to stay with Secluded Bamboo Supreme and Smoke Mist Demon Ancestor, while Darkness Demon Ancestor stayed in Demon Cave Time-Space to seek battle and reunite with old friends.
• Saine explained that Undying Supreme had chosen the door to the Higher Dimensional Plane, while Demon Fallen Supreme had been forcibly rejected there by the Astral Realm Rules.
• Saine returned toward the channel to Gear Time-Space with Thomas, Alarm Clock Girl, Bing Xin, Moonlight Goddess, and the Mountain Giant King, leaving part of his Legion behind to establish bases.
• Alarm Clock Girl asked whether the war would now end, and Saine said large-scale conflicts with Evil Swamp Time-Space were unlikely in the short term.

After returning to Gear Time-Space, Saine and his companions recovered under its nourishing rules, and Dao Ancestor Hongjun returned Saine’s upgraded Heart of Dimension Magic Necklace. Saine weighed plans to establish a foothold for Evil Tide Civilization in Demon Cave Time-Space and rely on Hongjun’s deterrence, then went to the Mechanical Civilization Main Camp to heal and reflect.

• Gear Time-Space’s rules began repairing Thomas’s injuries and Saine’s damaged Mechanical God Rule True Body.

Gear Time-Space settled into an uneasy peace, and Saine’s allied civilizations prospered, including the Celestial Star Nether Scorpion Clan, which had risen to Super Civilization status.

• Saine sent the damaged Mechanical God Rule True Body to Cube Time-Space, where it recovered quickly and several Level-10 Intelligent Robots gained thunder-related Rule Power.

After more than a thousand years of peace, Gear Time-Space, Light Universe Time-Space, and Evil Swamp Time-Space prospered through cautious cooperation and resource trade.

• Saine observed that Gear Time-Space had flourished as Light Universe migrants and native civilizations maintained friendly relations, while Evil Swamp Time-Space stayed quiet.
• Blue-eyed Octopus recognized that Evil Swamp Time-Space could not challenge Gear Time-Space and began actively trading with Saine's Mechanical Civilization.

• Hongjun summoned the Immortal Domain cultivators, including Duan Ning, to a secluded rift and taught them the Dao.
• Duan Ning improved her alchemy after hearing Hongjun's teachings and received a white Alchemy Furnace engraved with ancient Dao patterns.

After Duan Ning improved her cultivation, Saine modified her alchemy furnace while a battle report arrived from the Light Universe Time-Space Battlefield. Ebony escaped with most of his elite forces, but Locke’s pursuit inflicted heavy losses on the Darkness Sword Organization and left its former allies facing the war alone.

• Duan Ning’s Life Realm advanced after Hongjun’s sermons, and Saine offered to modify her Quasi-Dimension Supreme Treasure Alchemy Furnace so it could connect to Skynet.
