Saine studied the Dark God Envoy's Origin Heart Core and used its rules to develop a Sinking Model, helping Cube Time-Space form a small, stable Shadow Side Region. Meanwhile, intelligence from Demon Cave Time-Space continued to arrive, but Saine chose to gather more information rather than deploy troops before Locke made his stance clear.

• Saine used Sky Net Central Hub to test the core's shadowy, sinking rules on different samples and named the resulting rule model the Sinking Model.
• Lina helped Saine compare the core's rules with traditional Dark Element Magic, describing the darkness as dragging surrounding rules into a lower level.
• Cube Time-Space developed a stable Shadow Side Region that could support experimental pods and hold negative-rule samples for gradual digestion.
• Zi You and her allies gathered intelligence on Demon Cave Time-Space's Evil Tide Civilization, local resources, and the differing attitudes of other civilizations.
• Saine decided not to deploy troops to Demon Cave Time-Space yet and continued to favor trade, intelligence gathering, and exchanges until Locke made his stance clear.

After completing a phase of his experiments, Saine spent a rare quiet moment with Bixi, who missed the two children they had left in the Material Star Realm. He then approved Fumila and Icarus's proposal to establish Mechanical Angel Civilization as a first-level branch of Mechanical Civilization.

• Bixi told Saine she missed the two children they had left in the Material Star Realm, and Saine promised they would find a way to check on them once things stabilized.
• Fumila and Icarus submitted a framework for a Mechanical Angel Civilization branch based on angel systems, mechanical technology, light rules, and Faith Crystals.
• Saine reviewed the proposed combat, support, and command Mechanical Angel types and approved the branch as a first-level division of Mechanical Civilization.
• Fumila and Icarus left determined to develop the new branch, while Saine reflected on Mechanical Civilization's growing diversity.

Saine tried to observe the Material Star Realm from the Higher Dimensional Plane, but every attempt failed because he could not reach the boundary between them. After Locke explained that stable contact required reaching the Lord of Dimension level, Saine set the effort aside and returned to studying Truth Arcana.

• Saine used the Sky Net Central Hub, bloodlines, and remembered coordinates to attempt cross-dimensional observation of the Material Star Realm, but each experiment produced only distorted noise.
• Saine asked Destruction Demon God Locke about the barrier, and Locke told him that stable contact required reaching the Lord of Dimension level.
• Saine recorded his suspicions about the Material Star Realm and left the observation project for a future attempt, disappointing Bixi, Lina, Natalia, and the others.
• Saine returned to the laboratory to study Truth Arcana and continue working toward the next threshold.

Saine made no new realm breakthrough, but he and the Mechanical Civilization steadily grew stronger by analyzing the spoils and lessons of the Light Universe Time-Space War. He left the story preparing to keep consolidating those gains before the next major conflict.

• Saine assessed that his main body remained below Level-12 Mid-Stage, though the Mechanical God Rule True Body raised his overall combat strength to Level-12 Peak.
• Saine assigned spoils from Dark Universe Time-Space, Qisha Time-Space, the Darkness Sword Organization, and Light Universe Time-Space to research and civilization projects.
• Saine recognized that his path still needed deeper understanding and unification, while looming threats made a long retreat impossible.
• Mechanical units and legions improved their modules, algorithms, and tactics using battlefield experience and postwar data.
• Saine reviewed a stronger Mechanical God fusion model and saw how allied civilizations and vassal systems were feeding new knowledge into Mechanical Civilization.
• Saine chose to continue absorbing the war's gains and wait for the next conflict to reveal the results.

After contact with the Material Star Realm failed, Saine and Little Tenth discovered they were expecting a child who inherited ash, mechanical, and Death Element powers, and Saine named him Saelot Grant. Meanwhile, Duan Ning’s high-dimensional alchemy and the Mechanical Angel Civilization advanced as Gear Time-Space continued to benefit from the war’s spoils.

• Saine decided to nurture offspring in High-Dimensional Time-Space after he could not reach the Material Star Realm.
• Little Tenth became pregnant, and examinations found that the child was steadily fusing Saine’s ash bloodline and mechanical rule brands with her Death Element origin.
• Saine named the unborn child Saelot Grant, secured his examination data, and created a specialized gestation environment for him.
• Bixi, Lina, Natalia, Luluman, and the other women teased Saine about having children of their own.
• Duan Ning used mechanical analysis and diverse high-dimensional materials to refine innovative pills that aided practitioners and injured war veterans.
• Fumila and Icarus’s experimental mechanical angel legions demonstrated their potential in purification, repairs, light-energy arrays, and battlefield coordination.

After emerging from seclusion stronger but still short of Level 13, the Evil Spirit King led Evil Swamp Time-Space into war against the Demon Cave Master, plunging Demon Cave Time-Space into chaos. As Evil Swamp forces ravaged the region, Devil Moon Civilization sought Secluded Bamboo Supreme’s aid, while the Stein Empire appealed to Saine and the Mechanical Civilization for support.

• The Evil Spirit King emerged from seclusion with denser Evil Swamp Rules and an aura approaching dimensional pressure, then declared war on the Demon Cave Master.
• Evil Swamp Time-Space avoided targeting Evil Tide Civilization because of its ties to Mechanical Civilization and instead attacked other forces across Demon Cave Time-Space.
• Blue-eyed Octopus and other Evil Swamp Temple Lords led legions to plunder Star Sectors, resources, and Transcendence Realm corpses in the region.
• With Evil Swamp forces advancing on its territory, Devil Moon Civilization asked Secluded Bamboo Supreme for aid.
• After losing forward Star Sectors to the assault, the Stein Empire sent Saine a detailed request for Mechanical Civilization’s assistance and battlefield data.

As the Evil Swamp Time-Space invasion spread through Demon Cave Time-Space, Secluded Bamboo Supreme sent limited forces to help Devil Moon Civilization, while Saine approved restricted aid for the Stein Empire without committing Mechanical Civilization’s main legion. Mechanical Civilization instead positioned itself to profit from wartime trade and intelligence while staying out of the center of the conflict.

• Secluded Bamboo Supreme weighed Devil Moon Civilization’s plea for aid and dispatched part of the Evil Tide Civilization Main Clan’s legions to stabilize key battle lines.
• Saine reviewed the Stein Empire’s request and offered equipment, transport platform access, and mechanical advisors, but refused to send Mechanical Civilization’s main legion.
• Saine required the Stein Empire to pay with rare resources, demonized life specimens, and frontline intelligence in return for the limited aid.
• Saine chose to keep Mechanical Civilization outside the main conflict, prioritizing trade and wartime supplies while avoiding a direct break with Evil Swamp Time-Space.
• Salamander Gray expanded its trade into Demon Cave Time-Space through Saine’s channels, and Stone Belly Spider earned a smaller share of the profits.

The Evil Spirit King fought the Demon Cave Master in hopes of reaching Level 13 before Evil Swamp Time-Space’s true Lord of Dimension awakened, while the Demon Cave Master resisted without giving him a chance to break through. As the war spread and Wuzhuo remained unseen, Saine monitored the conflict and prepared to benefit from the growing demand for the Mechanical Civilization’s resources and technology.

• The Evil Spirit King attacked the Demon Cave Master to force himself closer to a Level-13 breakthrough before Evil Swamp Time-Space’s true Lord of Dimension awakened.
• The Demon Cave Master clashed with the Evil Spirit King but held back enough to avoid pushing him across the threshold, while protecting his own life foundation.
• High-dimensional observers watched the battle, and Wuzhuo’s absence left his intentions and possible influence on the war uncertain.
• Evil Swamp’s Temple Lords plundered across Demon Cave Time-Space as the Evil Tide Civilization intervened in a limited capacity and the Mechanical Civilization watched from Gear Time-Space.
• Saine used reports from Zi You’s branch clans, the Stein Empire, and Salamander Gray to assess the battle and continued monitoring the conflict as a source of resources, intelligence, and demand for his civilization’s technology.

Saine studied the battle between the Evil Spirit King and the Demon Cave Master, using it to model how a native Level-13 Lord of Dimension draws strength from his home time-space. He noticed the Evil Spirit King's unusual urgency and wondered what crisis was driving him.

• The clash between the Evil Spirit King and the Demon Cave Master spread into deeper dimensional interfaces, making the core battlefield too dangerous for ordinary Transcendence Realm experts to approach.
• Saine directed the Sky Net Central Hub to reconstruct the battle from fragmented observations and analyzed how the Demon Cave Master's bond with Demon Cave Time-Space helped him endure the Evil Spirit King's attacks.
• Saine created a Local Dimension Lord Combat Environment Assessment model and ordered subprojects to assess future expeditions into Dark Universe Time-Space and Evil Swamp Time-Space.
• Saine observed that the Evil Spirit King seemed driven by more than the desire to overcome his Life Constraint, and he reconsidered the threat posed by the dormant Lord of Dimension of Evil Swamp Time-Space.

The Evil Spirit King intensified his assault on the Demon Cave Master and urged Saine to bring Mechanical Civilization into the battle, but Saine refused to commit. Wuzhuo joined the fight to secure its own future, leaving the Demon Cave Master trapped between two Level-12 Peak opponents as the battle spread across Demon Cave Time-Space.

• The Evil Spirit King offered Saine generous rewards for leading Mechanical Civilization into the war, but Saine declined to commit its main forces.
• The Evil Spirit King called out Wuzhuo and warned that the awakening Evil Swamp Time-Space Master could devour it.
• Wuzhuo emerged and seeped its origin into the Demon Cave Master's escape routes, joining the battle alongside the Evil Spirit King.
• The Demon Cave Master offered to give the attackers whatever they wanted, but the Evil Spirit King and Wuzhuo continued their assault.
• The three-way battle spread across more of Demon Cave Time-Space, worsening conditions for the Devil Moon Civilization and the Stein Empire.
• Saine observed the expanding conflict as the Sky Net Central Hub's deductions revealed more details about the Demon Cave Master's connection to the Demon Cave Time-Space origin.

Saine agreed to help the Evil Spirit King and Wuzhuo analyze the Demon Cave Master's weaknesses in exchange for valuable Rule Fragments. His battlefield guidance helped them wound the Demon Cave Master and send the fragments to Gear Time-Space, where Saine began studying them.

• Saine declined to fight in person but offered to analyze the Demon Cave Master's weaknesses in exchange for fragments shed from the Demon Cave Master.
• Saine identified a brief weakness in the Demon Cave Master's defenses, and the Evil Spirit King and Wuzhuo coordinated their attacks to exploit it.
• The Evil Spirit King and Wuzhuo wounded the Demon Cave Master and seized a batch of Rule Fragments before continuing their pursuit.
• The Evil Spirit King sent the fragments through the Mechanical Civilization channel to Saine in Gear Time-Space.
• Saine ordered the fragments divided for experiments, database analysis, and sealed storage.

Saine’s analysis helped the Evil Spirit King and Wuzhuo disrupt the Demon Cave Master’s connection to Demon Cave Time-Space, while the Evil Spirit King revealed that the Evil Swamp Dimension Lord was nearing awakening to draw more Temple Lords into the fight. As forces shifted toward the Core Battlefield, the Devil Moon Civilization gained a brief reprieve, but Saine expected Demon Cave Time-Space to grow more chaotic.

• Saine identified the Demon Cave Master’s backflow nodes, allowing the Evil Spirit King and Wuzhuo to target his bond with Demon Cave Time-Space as they pursued him.
• The Evil Spirit King revealed to the Evil Swamp Temple Lords that their Dimension Lord was about to awaken, hoping to gain reinforcements for the difficult battle.
• The Blue-eyed Octopus slowed its offensive against the Devil Moon Civilization and redirected some of its forces toward the Core Battlefield, prompting other Temple Lords to follow.
• The Devil Moon Civilization regrouped its legions, while Secluded Bamboo Supreme’s Evil Tide Civilization forces secured several defensive lines.
• The Stein Empire sent battlefield data to Saine, who declined to offer reassurance and warned that the conflict’s spread would bring greater turmoil to Demon Cave Time-Space.

Evil Swamp Time-Space’s Level-12 Temple Lords joined Evil Spirit King and Wuzhuo in pressuring Demon Cave Master, turning the core siege into a larger battle across Demon Cave Time-Space. Saine gathered intelligence on their abilities as the war spread into vast regions of the dimension.

• Blue-eyed Octopus and other temple lords shifted their forces toward Demon Cave Master’s core battlefield in response to Evil Spirit King and Wuzhuo’s commands.
• Blue-eyed Octopus, Wuzhuo, and the other temple lords used their distinct rules and legions to delay Demon Cave Master and restrict his escape routes.
• Demon Cave Master recognized that Saine’s battlefield analysis was helping Evil Spirit King and Wuzhuo anticipate his attempts to use Demon Cave Time-Space’s origin.
• The Devil Moon Civilization and the Stein Empire used the pressure on the core battlefield to briefly regroup on other fronts.
• Zi You ordered the Evil Tide Civilization branch clans to record the temple lords’ abilities and movements, and Saine’s Sky Net Central Hub updated its models.
• The siege expanded into a great chaotic battle as vast star zones were caught in overlapping swirls of evil swamps, demonization, and pollution.

Saine learned that the Evil Swamp Time-Space Dimension Lord might awaken within two thousand to ten thousand years, driving its Level-12 Temple Lords to commit more forces to the Demon Cave war. As pressure on the Demon Cave Master mounted, Saine contacted Locke to discuss whether the battle could end in a successful siege.

• Saine noticed that Evil Swamp Time-Space Temple Lords were surrendering profits to obtain stronger support and equipment from the Mechanical Civilization.
• Jiang Qi told Saine that the Evil Swamp Time-Space Dimension Lord was expected to awaken within two thousand to ten thousand years.
• Saine realized that the looming awakening explained the Temple Lords’ urgency and their increased commitment to the Demon Cave battlefield.
• The Evil Spirit King, Wuzhuo, the Temple Lords, and Saine’s battlefield analysis pushed the Demon Cave Master into a more passive position, with his Rule True Body visibly tearing.
• Saine considered whether the attackers could overwhelm the Demon Cave Master but cautioned himself against judging a native Lord of Dimension by appearances alone.
• Saine contacted Locke to report the battlefield developments and seek the judgment of someone who had reached Level 13.

Locke judged that the Evil Spirit King, Wuzhuo, and the Evil Swamp Time-Space Temple Lords could weaken the Demon Cave Master but were unlikely to kill him while he remained connected to his native time-space. He chose to keep monitoring the war through Saine and intervene only if it spiraled out of control, while the Destruction Divine Kingdom prepared to respond.

• Saine reported that the Evil Spirit King had grown stronger, Wuzhuo had entered the conflict, and the Demon Cave Master was losing Rule Fragments as the Evil Swamp Time-Space Dimension Lord's awakening drew nearer.
• Locke told Saine that the attackers could injure and weaken the Demon Cave Master but were still far from killing a Lord of Dimension bound to his native time-space.
• Locke warned Saine not to mistake the Demon Cave Master's exposed weaknesses for fatal openings, since his deepest trump cards might emerge only at the last moment.
• Locke decided to keep watching the war and said he would go to Demon Cave Time-Space if events began to spiral out of control.
• Saine accepted Locke's judgment and continued limited involvement while the Destruction Divine Kingdom prepared to react quickly to unexpected changes.

With Locke watching over the Demon Cave Time-Space battlefield, Saine shifted his attention to researching a system of Dimension Supreme Treasures for the mechanical civilization. He began organizing high-dimensional Rule Materials and planning treasures for battlefield stabilization, dimensional rift blockade, and sample sealing, but had not yet started forging them.

• Locke reassured Saine, who continued monitoring the Demon Cave Time-Space battlefield and managing intelligence, Rule Fragments, and war-supplies trading.
• The mechanical civilization received growing demand for battlefield equipment and services, earning major gains without entering the war directly.
• Saine turned his attention to Dimension Supreme Treasures, believing the mechanical civilization needed more precise tools to face native Lords of Dimension.
• Saine outlined three types of treasures: battlefield stabilizers, spatial cutters and blockers, and devices for sealing and dismantling dangerous samples.
• Saine activated Cube Time-Space's Alchemy Experiment platforms and gathered high-dimensional Rule Materials to begin developing his ideas.

Saine drew on his Level-12 foundations and the materials gathered from the Light Universe Time-Space War to begin a formal plan for forging new Dimension Supreme Treasures. He left the story with three experimental designs underway in Cube Time-Space.

• Saine reflected on how the Cube, Sky Net, and Heart of Dimension Magic Necklace had developed alongside his alchemy and civilization.
• After advancing to Level-12 and gaining more Advanced Rule Materials, Saine decided the time was right to refine new Dimension Supreme Treasures.
• Saine arranged to study Dimension Supreme Treasure remnants and borrow items from allies such as Locke and the Lord of Eternal Day.
• Saine opened Highest Level Experimental Authorizations in Cube Time-Space and assigned the Sky Net Central Hub and Mechanical Civilization research groups to the plan.
• Saine set three provisional designs: a legion enhancement treasure, a single-target lockdown treasure, and an experimental auxiliary treasure for his laboratory.

Saine planned three Dimension Supreme Treasures to strengthen mechanical civilization’s battlefield resilience, restrain powerful dimensional foes, and transform Wall-E into a living supreme treasure. The chapter ended with Saine watching Wall-E work in the laboratory, unaware of the difficult modification planned for it.

• Saine planned the Ten Thousand Mechanical Law Ring to coordinate Mechanical Legions and protect them from hostile dimensional rules.
• Saine planned the Dimension-Severing Cage to lock down powerful foes and block their escapes through dimensional rifts.
• Saine decided to consult the Despair Matriarch about time-space lockdown methods that could aid the cage’s creation.
• Saine planned to modify Wall-E into a Dimension Supreme Treasure-level lifeform, while proceeding cautiously to protect its intelligent core.
• Saine watched Wall-E sort laboratory equipment, unaware that it was to become the focus of Saine’s modification project.

Saine began preparing to forge Dimension Supreme Treasures for Mechanical Civilization by studying two damaged treasures seized by the Destruction Divine Kingdom. He extracted design principles for the Ten Thousand Mechanical Law Ring and Dimension-Severing Cage, leaving the new treasures in their early design stage.

• Saine borrowed Old Man Tianmie's damaged Tianmie Calamity Wheel and studied its resistance to rule collapse for the Ten Thousand Mechanical Law Ring.
• Saine examined the Nether Erosion Black Lamp's dark-pollution filtering circuit as a reference for filtering contamination and disturbing escape-coordinate perceptions.
• The Sky Net Central Hub scanned both treasures, and Saine ordered their structural data recorded and integrated into the relevant design modules.
• Saine studied the original owners' battle records and identified an Anti-Collapse Stability Framework and a Coordinate Perception Disturbance Circuit for future use.

Saine developed and tested the Ten Thousand Mechanical Law Ring prototype as a civilization-scale support system for Mechanical Civilization’s legions. It resisted several forms of high-dimensional contamination, but unstable energy return and rule-field oscillations showed that it still needed major improvements before it could protect vast armies.

• Saine adapted structural research from the Tianmie Calamity Wheel and Nether Erosion Black Lamp, combining it with Mechanical Civilization’s existing systems to design the Ten Thousand Mechanical Law Ring.
• The Sky Net Central Hub built the first rule-model projection, and Saine added an anti-disintegration structure and a multi-attribute pollution filtration circuit.
• The prototype resisted Evil Swamp corrosion and Demon Cave demonization, though some mechanical shells were contaminated while their core data remained safe.
• Residual Sinking Rule traces destabilized energy return, and the prototype barely prevented its rule field from collapsing.
• Compound contamination exposed a filtration conflict, so Saine added a secondary confirmation circuit requiring both Sky Net and Cube Time-Space verification.
• When the test legion grew to thirty times its original size, the prototype developed stronger rule-field oscillations, showing that large-scale consistency remained its chief challenge.

Saine consulted the Despair Matriarch to improve the Dimension-Severing Cage, a device intended to briefly trap high-dimensional powerhouses. Her insights led him to redesign it to block escape paths through time, origin, and predicted safe coordinates, leaving the project with a clearer direction for further development.

• Saine opened a reflection experimental space and asked the Despair Matriarch to help refine the Dimension-Severing Cage so it could briefly trap a Lord of Dimension.
• The Despair Matriarch explained that the cage needed to seal a target’s time-space backflow, escape coordinates, and timestamp rather than merely cut off space.
• Saine and the Despair Matriarch jointly developed a layered blockade involving origin reflux, dimensional seams, escape coordinates, and space-time intent.
• The Despair Matriarch advised Saine to predict where a target intended to flee, prompting him to add Target Homing Coordinate Prediction to the design.
• The Despair Matriarch left Saine a wisp of space-time sealing origin, and Saine stored it for future experiments.

The Demon Cave Master unleashed an ancient Origin backlash that devastated the encircling forces and bought him time to retreat, but the attack further damaged his connection to Demon Cave Time-Space. Saine and the Evil Spirit King recognized that the costly trump card had exposed new weaknesses, while resentment spread among the sacrificed civilizations.

• The Evil Spirit King and Wuzhuo joined forces to tear away the Demon Cave Master's Rule Fragments, forcing him to stop fleeing.
• The Demon Cave Master sacrificed star sectors and civilizations to unleash an ancient Origin backlash across the encirclement.
• The backlash heavily injured Agulos, the Blue-eyed Octopus, the Evil Spirit King, Wuzhuo, and other forces, interrupting their siege.
• The Demon Cave Master retreated into a deep rift, and the battlefield fell briefly silent as both sides regrouped.
• Saine analyzed the backlash and recognized that the Demon Cave Master's trump card consumed Demon Cave Time-Space Origin and exposed more cracks.
• The Demon Cave Master remained injured in the Special Rule Rift, while the sacrificed civilizations' fear and resentment spread through Demon Cave Time-Space.

The Demon Cave Master's use of Demon Cave Time-Space's Origin damaged its star sectors and alienated its homeland civilizations, weakening his control. Saine tracked the growing resentment as the Demon Cave Master resorted to harsher coercion, leaving his authority increasingly dependent on fear.

• The Demon Cave Master's forced consumption of the Origin caused widespread ruin, mutations, and contamination across Demon Cave Time-Space.
• The Devil Moon Civilization and Stein Empire blamed the Demon Cave Master for sacrificing their territories and infrastructure to preserve himself, while Secluded Bamboo Supreme recognized the growing fear among homeland civilizations.
• Saine received reports through the Sky Net Central Hub and recorded the Demon Cave Master's declining prestige and control in his assessment model.
• Secluded Bamboo Supreme had the Evil Tide Civilization Main Clan maintain contact and gather information instead of openly recruiting alienated civilizations, and Zi You sent those developments to Gear Time-Space.
• The Demon Cave Master intimidated core vassals and forcibly reconnected some star regions to his rule network, suppressing unrest while deepening fear and rejection.

Saine analyzed the Demon Cave Master's homeland-origin backlash and used the battlefield data to revise several Mechanical Civilization research plans. He added protection, early-warning, and anomaly-detection measures to projects for the Ten Thousand Mechanical Law Ring, the Dimension-Severing Cage, and Wall-E.

• Saine added self-destructive origin invocation and related battlefield parameters to his assessment model after the Demon Cave Master sacrificed part of his Native Dimension to unleash an origin backlash.
• Saine revised the Ten Thousand Mechanical Law Ring plan to protect the Mechanical Civilization's core data, command links, and array structures from dimensional-level origin backlash.
• Saine added a theoretical plan for the Dimension-Severing Cage to detect and interfere with a Lord of Dimension's origin mobilization before a backlash attack.
• Saine found that the Demon Cave Master's rule fragments had trembled faintly before his trump card and listed Rule Fragment Reverse Early Warning as a new research project.
• Saine added High-Risk Rule Sample Anomaly Identification to Wall-E's future transformation plan.

Saine tested ways to transform Wall-E into a Dimension Supreme Treasure-level lifeform, but simulations revealed risks to mechanical consciousness and existence continuity. He left the project proceeding cautiously, with Wall-E’s identity and long-built rapport as its highest priorities.

• Saine built simulated Wall-E cores and found that Demon Cave Master Rule Fragments caused consciousness collapse and reverse contamination in early tests.
• After watching Wall-E carefully sort contaminated wreckage, Saine ordered at least one hundred simulated checks for any direct core modification and sealed plans that risked consciousness continuity.
• Saine tested Light God Race Faith Crystals and Qisha Time-Space Sandstorm Origin, which caused external-will interference and erosion of the simulated cores’ consciousness boundaries.
• Saine made existence continuity the Wall-E Modification Project’s highest constraint and had the Sky Net Central Hub restrict experiments that bypassed it.
• Saine observed Wall-E prioritize hazardous wreckage and separate reusable materials, recognizing that its accumulated laboratory instincts and rapport could not be replicated.
