• Saine wondered how long Locke would remain in seclusion and when he would formally reach Level-13 Mid-Stage.

Rustwheel-739 rose from a Level-2 maintenance unit to a Level-4 high-risk logistics unit as Gear Time-Space expanded after the Demon Cave war. Its survival of dangerous contamination earned it upgrades and a place in Skynet’s observation sequence, showing how the era’s growth reached even bottom-tier mechanical lives.

• Rustwheel-739 began as an ordinary maintenance unit and gained a self-identification number after three hundred years without a major accident.
• After the Demon Cave war, Rustwheel-739 handled polluted transport machinery, developed stronger self-repair and Rule Resistance, and joined a high-risk logistics squad.
• While sealing Mist Bone samples, Rustwheel-739 survived memory erosion and developed anti-fog-husk circuits that were shared with other low-level mechanical units.
• At a space fortress, Rustwheel-739 contained an activated Level-13 pollution fragment by using its anti-erosion circuit and shutting down nearby conduction lines, though the impact burned out nearly thirty percent of its core computing area.
• Technicians found a tamed high-dimensional residual echo in Rustwheel-739’s core, and Skynet placed it under observation before it later advanced to Level 4.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun continued guiding Duan Ning in alchemy and gave her valuable tools, while Vegeta pushed himself through increasingly extreme training to reach Level-12 and catch up to Kakarot.

• Saine kept news of Saelot Grant's birth within the Mechanical Civilization and among a few people close to him.

Signs of the Evil Swamp Lord of Dimension’s awakening spread through Evil Swamp Time-Space, prompting its temple lords to recall their forces and Saine to intensify surveillance. The Evil Spirit King began risking his life to reach Level 13, while Saine recognized that a conflict over the dimension’s authority was drawing near.

• The Evil Spirit King and Jiang Qi warned Saine that corruption tides, rule-quakes, and revived altars signaled the Evil Swamp Lord of Dimension was close to awakening.
• Saine learned that the awakening was already mutating creatures and marking local experts, while temple lords quietly recalled their legions and abandoned exposed resources.

Saine continued his research while Jinyue Witch offered to bear his children as a way to bind the Devil Moon Civilization more closely to the Mechanical Civilization. Saine made no commitment, and the chapter left the Devil Moon Civilization’s future unresolved as the approaching storm in Evil Swamp Time-Space took priority.

• Saine managed his ongoing research and monitored several powerful beings and developments across the civilizations.
• Jinyue Witch asked Saine to deepen ties between the Devil Moon Civilization and the Mechanical Civilization, offering to bear his children.
• Saine said their relationship could not be measured only by profit and noted that there were other ways to strengthen the civilizations’ connection.
• At Saine’s request, Jinyue Witch lay on the Laboratory Table while he studied her Devil Moon origin.
• Jinyue Witch left, and Saine sealed her origin data while turning his attention back to the approaching storm in Evil Swamp Time-Space.

Saine monitored the increasingly severe signs that the Evil Swamp Lord of Dimension was awakening, while gathering intelligence from divided Temple Lords and preparing Mechanical Civilization for a crisis. He concluded that the Demon Cave Master's fall may have accelerated the awakening, leaving the Evil Spirit King less time to reach Level 13.

• The deep Origin Swamp surged more often, abandoned altars ignited, and creatures across Rotten Beard Star Swamp mutated into clay fetuses that hummed toward the depths.
• Saine received intelligence from Jiang Qi, the Heavenly Wing Demon Lord, the Blue-eyed Octopus, Agulos, and Wuzhuo, revealing that the Level-12 Temple Lords were divided and hedging against the awakening.
• Jiang Qi reported that the Evil Spirit King had sunk into a deep source region to attempt a breakthrough to Level 13 while keeping a retreat route in case he failed.
• Saine held back Locke because the Demon Cave's destructive frenzy remained intense, and he continued monitoring the Evil Swamp rather than sending Locke's true body into it.
• The Sky Net Central Hub's model indicated that the Evil Swamp Lord of Dimension was being forcibly awakened, possibly by the Demon Cave Master's fall, so Saine shifted computing power and used Demon Cave rule fragments to study the revival.

Saine discovered that the newly awakened Evil Swamp Lord of Dimension had reached the level-13 peak and could rally the entire Evil Swamp hierarchy against his enemies. After the Evil Spirit King begged for help, Saine mobilized the Mechanical Civilization to keep him alive while Locke held back.

• Saine calculated that the confused Evil Swamp Lord of Dimension had reached the level-13 peak and was drawn toward Demon Cave Time-Space.
• Saine warned Locke, Hongjun, and the Limitless Golden Emperor that the Old Master could rally Evil Swamp's Temple Lords and threaten their forces.
• The Evil Spirit King urgently asked Saine and Locke for aid, fearing the Old Master would target him as a rival approaching Level 13.
• Locke did not respond while the destruction tide continued absorbing the remains of the Demon Cave Master.
• Saine suspended research, put the Mechanical God Rule True Body on standby, and deployed Level-12 practitioners and elite legions to protect the Evil Spirit King.

Saine led the Mechanical Civilization Legion into the Return Vortex Deep Domain to support the Evil Spirit King as the Evil Swamp Lord of Dimension approached. The Mechanical Civilization established a fortified frontline, giving the Evil Spirit King’s wavering forces some confidence while Saine prepared the area for possible reinforcements.

• The Evil Spirit King secluded himself in the dangerous Return Vortex Deep Domain, keeping hidden rifts to Demon Cave Time-Space as a possible escape route.
• Saine brought the Mechanical Civilization Legion into Evil Swamp Time-Space, where emotional tides threatened to corrupt its units, and deployed the Ten Thousand Mechanical Law Ring to stabilize them.
• Saine saw the approaching Evil Swamp Lord of Dimension drawing the time-space’s Origin Nodes back under its control.
• The Evil Spirit King welcomed Saine but was disappointed that Locke, the Limitless Golden Emperor, and Dao Ancestor Hongjun had not arrived.
• Saine deployed observation platforms, altars, and other devices, then built a silver-white mechanical frontline around the Evil Spirit King’s seclusion area.
• The Evil Spirit King’s forces took some comfort from the Mechanical Civilization’s defenses, while Saine continued expanding the frontline without making promises.

Saine prepared the Mechanical Civilization front at the Return Vortex Deep Domain as the Evil Swamp Lord of Dimension approached and the Evil Spirit King began a desperate attempt to reach Level 13. The chapter ended with the first clash still ahead, as Saine positioned his forces to withstand the coming pressure and demonstrate the strength of his alliance.

• Saine rapidly established the Mechanical Civilization front with observation platforms, stabilization anchors, the Ten Thousand Mechanical Law Ring, and hidden Dimension-Severing Cage projections.
• The Heavenly Wing Demon Lord, Agulos, Blue-eyed Octopus, Wuzhuo, Long Ga, and other Temple Lords stayed out of the open, while Saine kept Jiang Qi hidden for a later opportunity.
• As the Evil Swamp Lord of Dimension drew closer, its rule-shadow distorted nearly thirty percent of the low-level evil swamp creatures and severely pressured the Moonlight Goddess, Bing Xin, and the Mountain Giant King.
• The Evil Spirit King stopped asking for aid or discussing retreat and remained at the center of the Return Vortex Deep Domain as he made a dangerous attempt to cross into Level 13.
• Saine arranged the Moonlight Goddess and Bing Xin behind the front to stabilize local rules and suppress Emotional Pollution, while the Mountain Giant King took the front line beside the mechanical fortresses.
• Saine recognized that the coming first clash would decide whether the Evil Swamp Halls regarded the Destruction Divine Kingdom and the Mechanical Civilization as capable of intervening in the Evil Swamp Time-Space.

The Evil Swamp Lord of Dimension attacked the Evil Spirit King, threatening to devour him before he could break through to Level 13. Saine redirected the Destruction Tide from Demon Cave Time-Space to block the attack, giving the Evil Spirit King a chance to surge toward his breakthrough.

• The Evil Swamp Lord of Dimension projected its rule-shadow into the Return Vortex Deep Domain and sent a rule-tentacle toward the Evil Spirit King.
• The Lord’s pressure endangered Saine and his allies, while the Evil Spirit King used the threat to push his life-level boundary to its limit.
• Saine activated the prepared arrays and used the old fissures between the Return Vortex Deep Domain and Demon Cave Time-Space to open a Mirror of Time-Space.
• A massive Fist of Destruction crossed the mirror and struck the rule-tentacle, forcing it back and drawing the Lord’s attention to Locke’s Destruction Power.
• With the direct attack blocked, the Evil Spirit King seized the moment, and a breakthrough will appeared across his Rule True Body.

The Evil Spirit King seized the moment after Locke’s attack to break through to Level 13 by forcibly taking in the Evil Swamp Origin. His unstable breakthrough gave him the first signs of a new branch lineage, provoking the awakening Evil Swamp Lord of Dimension.

• After Locke’s Fist of Destruction broke the first rule tentacle, the Evil Spirit King resisted the Old Master’s pressure and recalled how fear had driven his rise and ambition.
• The Evil Spirit King forcibly plundered the Evil Swamp Origin and cried out for his breakthrough.
• Saine monitored the breakthrough through the Sky Net Central Hub as the Evil Spirit King crossed the Level-13 threshold, though his power remained unstable.
• The Evil Spirit King’s new authority created a faint higher echo for his legions and slowed their mutations, giving him the beginnings of a separate Evil Swamp lineage.
• The Evil Spirit King’s breakthrough established a second existence capable of touching Level-13 authority, making him an intolerable threat to the Evil Swamp Lord of Dimension.

The Evil Spirit King advanced to Level 13 and seized a fragile branch of Evil Swamp Origin, provoking the Evil Swamp Lord of Dimension to try to devour him before his new authority could stabilize. Saine analyzed the breakthrough as the Return Vortex Deep Domain erupted into chaos and the Mechanical Civilization frontline came under renewed attack.

• The Evil Spirit King’s breakthrough caused Evil Swamp Time-Space to recognize him as a second nascent Level-13 authority, and the Evil Swamp Lord of Dimension sensed his Origin being divided.
• The Old Master’s will forced many Evil Swamp Legions attached to the Evil Spirit King to kneel, while the Evil Spirit King struggled to hold onto the unstable Origin he had seized.
• The Evil Swamp Lord of Dimension sent more Rule Tentacles into the Return Vortex Deep Domain to devour the newly advanced Evil Spirit King and reclaim his authority.
• Saine and the Sky Net Central Hub analyzed the Evil Spirit King’s fragile authority, and Saine compared his birth as a Lord of Dimension with the Demon Cave Master’s fall.
• The Old Master’s fury drove low-level Evil Swamp creatures into madness, breaking the balance of the Return Vortex Deep Domain and sending them against the Evil Spirit King and the Mechanical Civilization frontline.

Destruction Demon God Locke forced his Rule True Body and Destruction Tide into Evil Swamp Time-Space through Saine’s prepared channel, diverting pressure from the newly advanced Evil Spirit King. The chapter left Locke’s cross-boundary descent underway as the Evil Spirit King tried to secure the branch origin he had seized.

• Locke sent a continuous flow of Destruction Tide through Saine’s cross-dimensional channel to support Evil Spirit King against Evil Swamp Lord of Dimension.
• Saine overloaded the mechanical altars, anchors, and arrays in Return Vortex Deep Domain, while reserve units and fortresses stabilized the passage against Evil Swamp’s rejection.
• Locke forced part of his Rule True Body through the Mirror of Time-Space despite the origin’s resistance, and his arrival drew Rule Tentacles away from Evil Spirit King.
• The Evil Swamp Halls failed to fully block Locke’s entry, with some temple nodes responding slowly as the Lord of Dimension remained muddled.
• Evil Spirit King used the reprieve to anchor the newly seized branch origin inside his true body of rules.

As Locke's Rule True Body entered Evil Swamp Time-Space, his arrival and the flickering auras of Hongjun and the Limitless Golden Emperor heightened the tension around the Return Vortex Deep Domain. The Temple Lords watched the confrontation over the Evil Spirit King's breakthrough, leaving their loyalties uncertain as the battle's outcome threatened to reshape Evil Swamp Time-Space.

• Locke continued squeezing into Evil Swamp Time-Space while Hongjun's and the Limitless Golden Emperor's Level-13 auras appeared across the Cross-Dimensional Channel.
• Saine, Locke, and their allies focused on holding the line against the Evil Spirit King's breakthrough before calling on the Lord of Eternal Day.
• The Blue-eyed Octopus, Agulos, Long Ga, and Wuzhuo hid near the battlefield, hoping to avoid being forced to choose a side.
• The Heavenly Wing Demon Lord secretly sent changes at peripheral nodes to the Mechanical Civilization.
• Molan watched the Mechanical Civilization to judge whether it could challenge the Evil Swamp system, while Yanxian felt an instinctive urge to attack the Evil Spirit King.

The Mechanical Civilization held its frontline as the Evil Swamp Lord of Dimension attacked the Evil Spirit King and Locke’s passage into Evil Swamp Time-Space. Saine discovered that Locke’s Emotion-based origin rules had stirred a small portion of the plane’s origin, leaving the three-way struggle for authority unsettled.

• The Evil Swamp Lord of Dimension sent rule-based strikes at the Evil Spirit King and Locke’s Cross-Dimensional Channel while Alienated Legions assaulted the Mechanical Civilization’s Metal Frontline.
• The Moonlight Goddess, Bing Xin, the Mountain Giant King, and Mechanical forces worked to stabilize and defend the frontline against the alienated creatures and corruptive rules.
• Saine used battlefield data to determine that the Evil Swamp Lord of Dimension’s chaotic attention prevented him from concentrating his power precisely enough to eliminate the Evil Spirit King.
• Locke continued entering Evil Swamp Time-Space through Saine’s passage, and Saine found that Locke’s Emotion-based origin rules resonated with the plane and stirred a small portion of its origin.
• Saine’s authority model showed the Evil Swamp Lord of Dimension holding most of the origin, the Evil Spirit King bearing newly seized authority, and Locke exerting a smaller but real influence as the dimensional war continued.

Destruction Demon God Locke forced his rule true body into Evil Swamp Time-Space, where its origin showed a faint affinity for his destruction and emotion paths. As he fought the Evil Swamp Time-Space Dimension Lord, Locke absorbed its negative emotions while keeping his true goal—the Destruction Time-Space beyond the Bronze Gate—in mind.

• Locke descended into Evil Swamp Time-Space and found that some of its negative emotion rules gathered toward his destruction tides.
• The Evil Swamp Time-Space Dimension Lord sensed the origin’s response and attacked Locke with Rule Tentacles.
• Locke held his ground and clashed head-on with the Dimension Lord, crushing emotional pollution and corrupted space with his destruction tides.
• Saine recorded that Evil Swamp’s native creatures both feared and were drawn to Locke’s rules, causing some to mutate and burst apart.
• Locke absorbed Evil Swamp’s negative emotions to deepen his great path of emotion, but regarded the realm only as nourishment until he could seek the Bronze Gate.

Locke held off the Evil Swamp Time-Space Dimension Lord while the newly advanced Evil Spirit King fought to stabilize his Dimension Lord authority. Saine’s forces helped secure the battlefield, leaving the Evil Spirit King’s authority taking root and some of his legions joining the defense.

• Locke’s growing power reached the Level-13 Mid-Stage as he blocked the Evil Swamp Time-Space Dimension Lord’s attacks.
• The Evil Spirit King drew branch origins of Evil Swamp Time-Space into his Rule True Body while Locke protected him.
• Saine used mechanical anchor points and Dimension-Severing Cage projections to hinder attacks on the Evil Spirit King.
• The Evil Spirit King endured backlash as he nailed his fragile Black-Green Spike authority into the branch origins.
• Some clear-headed Evil Swamp warriors moved toward the Mechanical Civilization Frontline to protect the Evil Spirit King.
• Saine opened buffer zones and deployed Gear Hubs to help the warriors resist Emotional Pollution.

Saine used Rule Altars and battlefield coordination to disrupt the Evil Swamp Time-Space Dimension Lord’s control over the Return Vortex Deep Domain and strengthen the Evil Spirit King’s access to branch origin. The Mechanical Civilization Frontline endured a stronger counterattack while Saine maintained the altars and gathered battlefield data.

• Saine analyzed the battlefield and identified that the Evil Swamp Time-Space Dimension Lord relied on instinct, leaving openings for targeted interference.
• Saine activated Rule Altars and issued orders to disrupt corruption surges and dilute Emotional Pollution, increasing the Evil Spirit King’s ability to draw in branch origin.
• The Evil Swamp Time-Space Dimension Lord retaliated, and the Moonlight Goddess, Bing Xin, and the Mountain Giant King helped defend the Mechanical Civilization Frontline.
• Saine divided the frontline’s duties among the defenders and positioned the Evil Spirit King’s Sober Legion to intercept hidden Evil Swamp Beings.
• Saine kept the Rule Altars operating and sent battlefield data on alienation and restored clarity to the Sky Net Central Hub.
