Bing Xin and the Moonlight Goddess captured the Death Envoy alive and sent him toward the Mechanical Civilization, while the Jinyue Witch and the Mountain Giant King killed the Nether-Whisper Envoy and secured much of his rule power. With one Level-12 God Envoy sealed and another dead, the Destruction Divine Kingdom Faction achieved more than half of its minimum objectives in the war.

• Bing Xin and the Moonlight Goddess used Water Mirror Rules and moonlight to seal the Death Envoy, then severed his connection to Dark Universe Time-Space before the Mechanical Legion transported him away.
• Bing Xin and the Moonlight Goddess withdrew as death nether tides converged on the battlefield after the Death Envoy was removed.
• The Jinyue Witch and the Mountain Giant King prevented the wounded Nether-Whisper Envoy from escaping the ash fire and forced him to face the Jinyue Witch's attack.
• The Mountain Giant King absorbed most of the Nether-Whisper Envoy's final death blast while the Jinyue Witch shattered his Level-12 death rule core.
• The Jinyue Witch and the Mountain Giant King contained the death-origin shock wave and collected rule fragments from the Nether-Whisper Envoy's remains.

The Dark Nether Death God’s losses prompted the Darkness Sword Organization, Qisha Time-Space, and the Myriad Law Thunder Emperor to move against the Destruction Divine Kingdom Faction. As the Myriad Law Thunder Emperor began descending, Locke attacked his passage, and their first clash left the Thunder Emperor forcing his way into Dark Universe Time-Space.

• The Darkness Sword Organization opened scattered channels and sent advance legions to seize Spatial Nodes while Ebony held back and watched the battlefield.
• Duolie opened a sand-element channel from Qisha Time-Space and sent part of its legion through, but he did not descend himself.
• The Myriad Law Thunder Emperor formed a Rule Thunder passage, giving the besieged Myriad Phenomena Balance Master room to stabilize his Rule Chessboard.
• Locke attacked the forming passage with the Spear of Destruction, and the Myriad Law Thunder Emperor answered with a massive thunder palm.
• Their collision destroyed part of the approaching Thunder Domain Legion, but the Myriad Law Thunder Emperor stabilized the passage and continued his descent.

Locke fought the Myriad Law Thunder Emperor after the latter entered Dark Universe Time-Space to curb the rising power of the Destruction Divine Kingdom. As Locke and the Thunder Emperor continued their battle, Duolie, the Dimension Lord of Qisha Time-Space, arrived on another battlefield.

• Locke and the Myriad Law Thunder Emperor clashed, and Locke's growing Destruction Tide forced the Thunder Emperor's war hammer backward.
• The Thunder Emperor sent nine Thunder Dragons against Locke, but Locke turned them against one another and pressed forward.
• The Thunder Emperor created a Thunder Prison to isolate Locke from Destruction Factors, but Locke broke through and charged him.
• Locke and the Thunder Emperor struck each other, tearing away pieces of each other's rule power and armor.
• The Lord of Eternal Day continued suppressing the Dark Nether Death God while the Limitless Golden Emperor watched a Sand-Type Vortex expand.
• Duolie, the Dimension Lord of Qisha Time-Space, crossed the Space-Time Channel into Dark Universe Time-Space.

Duolie and Ebony entered Dark Universe Time-Space under the pretense of supporting Dark Nether Death God, while their forces also sought to exploit its Origin. Duolie was held back by the Limitless Golden Emperor, and Kakarot drove Ebony off, but the Darkness Sword Organization continued stealing Dark Origin as the battle went on.

• Duolie descended into Dark Universe Time-Space, stabilized his channel, and was challenged by the Limitless Golden Emperor, who sealed the space around the channel.
• The Limitless Golden Emperor divided Duolie’s sand sea and forced him to sacrifice part of it, while Duolie conserved his strength rather than burning his Origin.
• Ebony’s legions fought the Destruction Divine Kingdom Legion while covertly seizing Rule Nodes and diverting Dark Origin through their Cross-Dimensional Channel.
• Ebony descended and defended his actions to Dark Nether Death God as support and trade, but Kakarot attacked him and shattered many of his sword shadows and occupied Rule Nodes.
• Kakarot forced Ebony and his Rule True Body backward, while Ebony’s legions continued expanding their theft of Dark Universe Time-Space’s Origin.

As the war spread across Dark Universe Time-Space, the Destruction Divine Kingdom Faction's advance slowed while foreign forces and their legions ravaged the worlds caught between them. The chapter leaves Dark Universe civilizations divided between resistance, surrender, and concealment as the Dark Nether Death God's control weakened.

• Locke's clash with Myriad Law Thunder Emperor intensified the Destruction Tide, while the arrival of Duolie, Ebony, and other foreign forces slowed the Destruction Divine Kingdom Faction's advance.
• The Withered Dark Galaxy resisted repeated assaults under its Death Monarch, but sacrificed worlds and its future to maintain its defenses.
• A distant cluster of hundreds of worlds was annihilated by the aftershock of the clash between Myriad Law Thunder Emperor and Locke.
• Some civilizations surrendered to the Destruction Divine Kingdom Faction, and the Mechanical Civilization placed them under its control and repurposed their industries.
• The Darkness Sword Organization and Qisha Time-Space Legion plundered and enslaved Dark Universe worlds, deepening local beings' anger and despair.
• Some civilizations hid their rule signatures or severed ties with the Origin of Dark Universe Time-Space in hopes of surviving the war.

After nearly three thousand years of war, Sword Demon defeated and killed the Nether God Envoy in the collapsing Lightless Tomb Domain. The victory brought Sword Demon closer to Level-12 Mid-Stage, while the war continued elsewhere as Dark Nether Death God felt his subordinate’s fall.

• The Eternal Day and Limitless Time-Space forces sealed the Lightless Tomb Domain’s escape routes and destroyed the Nether God Envoy’s corpse legions.
• Sword Demon cut through the Rule Corpses and, in a decisive clash, split the Nether God Envoy’s death spear and wounded his Rule True Body.
• The Nether God Envoy tried to flee, but Sword Demon’s planted sword shadows blocked his route, and Sword Demon cleaved him apart.
• The Eternal Day and Limitless Time-Space practitioners contained the resulting sea of death while the Destruction Divine Kingdom armies began collecting the spoils.
• Sword Demon sensed a path toward Level-12 Mid-Stage but remained to command the campaign, while Dark Nether Death God felt the Nether God Envoy’s death and the Lord of Eternal Day struck him with an Eternal Day Beam.

As the Dark Universe Time-Space War reached a stalemate, Locke judged that the Destruction Divine Kingdom Faction had secured its strategic gains and ordered its forces to draw in their battle lines. Saine also deterred the Heavenly Crown Emperor Monarch from entering the battlefield, leaving the rival powers poised rather than advancing.

• The war settled into an equilibrium as the factions held their positions and outside Lords of Dimension made further gains increasingly costly.
• Saine completed years of experiments on the Gate of Mechanical Ascension, improving its ability to reincarnate death-element lifeforms while keeping the sealed Death Envoy under observation.
• After detecting the Heavenly Crown Emperor Monarch's projection at the battlefield's edge, Saine entered the Mechanical God Rule True Body and confronted him, prompting the Monarch to hesitate.
• Locke reassessed the war after learning that his faction had secured its intended gains and that outside Lords of Dimension were turning the conflict into a prolonged struggle.
• Locke ordered the Destruction Divine Kingdom Faction to draw in its battle lines.

After Locke ordered a strategic contraction, the Destruction Divine Kingdom Faction withdrew in an orderly fashion while Saine’s Mechanical Civilization fortified the Darkness Vortex as a hidden bridgehead and harvested Dark Universe Time-Space’s resources. The Dark Nether Death God could not stop them, and the invaders left with their gains and a route to return.

• Locke’s will halted the Destruction Divine Kingdom Legion’s advance and shifted occupied regions into a defensive posture.
• Saine deployed fortresses, anchor points, and artillery around the Death Star Sea and Lightless Tomb Domain while Mechanical Civilization harvested materials and prepared the Darkness Vortex as a semi-permanent bridgehead.
• The Dark Nether Death God tried to spread Death Shadow toward the Darkness Vortex, but the Lord of Eternal Day intercepted him as Saine’s forces continued their work.
• With most of his God Envoys dead, captured, or in flight, the Dark Nether Death God watched helplessly as the Destruction Divine Kingdom Faction secured its foothold and plundered the weakened Dark Universe Time-Space.
• Mechanical Civilization catalogued and distributed the extracted resources, then withdrew transports toward Light Universe Time-Space while leaving hidden Metal Rule patterns that could reopen the route.

Locke continued fighting the Myriad Law Thunder Emperor as the Destruction Divine Kingdom withdrew and its allies shifted to defense. Their clash became a spar in which both learned from the other, and Locke left with the beginnings of a destructive lightning technique while the Myriad Law Thunder Emperor recognized that Locke would grow more dangerous.

• Locke continued attacking the Myriad Law Thunder Emperor, targeting his lightning rules rather than focusing on killing him.
• The Destruction Divine Kingdom Legion retreated across the battlefields while its allies reinforced occupied zones and shifted to defense.
• Locke captured lightning-rule fragments and considered incorporating their explosive and oscillating traits into the Power of Destruction.
• The Myriad Law Thunder Emperor studied Locke's Destruction Tide and grew wary of Locke's ability to strengthen himself by absorbing Destruction Factors.
• Locke used rapid rule oscillations in a spear thrust to crack the Myriad Law Thunder Emperor's lightning barrier, and both powerhouses gained new insights from the battle.

The Dark Nether Death God assessed the catastrophic losses Dark Universe Time-Space had suffered and realized that his authority over its civilizations was weakening. The Mechanical Civilization’s entrenched bridgehead remained beyond his reach as allied factions and his own subordinates pursued their interests or hid from battle.

• The Dark Nether Death God sensed that Dark Universe Time-Space had lost most of its Level-12 God Envoys, vital Death Rule Nodes, and vast reserves, and that recovery could take hundreds of thousands of years.
• The Dark Nether Death God realized Ebony and Duolie had exploited the war to seize Dark Universe origins, resources, and rules, but he could not drive them out while his homeland remained weak.
• The Yin God Envoy hid in the rear rather than rally Dark Universe civilizations, and the Dark Nether Death God tolerated his absence because few native high-level fighters remained.
• The Dark Nether Death God sent an 11th-level Death Monarch’s legion to attack the Darkness Vortex, but Saine’s automated artillery forced it to retreat before it reached the bridgehead.
• The Dark Nether Death God could not safely recall the captured Death Envoy because the Mechanical Civilization had turned their connection into observation circuits that could expose his origin’s workings.
• Higher Civilizations began privately seeking support from the Yin God Envoy, the Darkness Sword Organization, or the Mechanical Civilization, while the Dark Nether Death God lacked the strength to purge them.

Kakarot relentlessly attacked the Myriad Law Thunder Emperor and Ebony across the Dimension Battlefields, while Locke sustained him through Paradise Lost and eventually ordered him to stop. Elsewhere, the Limitless Golden Emperor restrained Duolie as their legions plundered Dark Universe Time-Space, leaving the Dark Nether Death God unable to stop the invading forces from withdrawing.

• Kakarot repeatedly charged the Myriad Law Thunder Emperor and Ebony, tearing through lightning and Dark Sword Shadows despite taking injuries.
• Locke used Paradise Lost’s Sacred Tree to restore Kakarot, while Saine’s Skynet Observation Model detected instability in Kakarot’s Rule True Body.
• Locke told Kakarot to stop, and Kakarot paused after forcing Ebony back and promised they would continue next time.
• The Limitless Golden Emperor restrained Duolie while the Limitless Time-Space Legion took resources and Dimensional Origin from Dark Universe Time-Space.
• Duolie held the Limitless Golden Emperor at bay as the Qisha Time-Space Legion transported plunder through Sand-type Channels, while the Dark Nether Death God struggled to stop the Destruction Divine Kingdom Faction’s withdrawal.

After a prolonged duel, Locke and the Destruction Divine Kingdom Faction withdrew from Dark Universe Time-Space with their gains secured, leaving the dimension deeply damaged. Dark Nether Death God was left without allies willing to counterattack, and the war entered a temporary pause.

• Locke and Myriad Law Thunder Emperor fought for nearly a thousand years, trading insights and growing stronger without a decisive victor.
• At the edge of the core, Locke and Myriad Law Thunder Emperor exchanged a final strike, then Locke withdrew and the other Destruction Divine Kingdom fighters stopped pursuing their opponents.
• Dark Nether Death God opened Native Rule Channels and urged the foreign Dimension Lords to counterattack, but Myriad Law Thunder Emperor, Ebony, and Duolie refused to respond.
• The Destruction Divine Kingdom Faction withdrew in orderly stages, and its artillery broke up Dark Universe Time-Space legions that attacked the retreat.
• Saine withdrew some of the Mechanical God’s silver-white chains after the last important resources were sent away, but deeper mechanical patterns remained embedded in Dark Universe Time-Space.
• Locke disappeared into the Destruction Tide as no one pursued him, and the war entered a temporary end.

The Destruction Divine Kingdom Faction and its allies catalogued and transported the spoils of war while repelling Dark Universe pursuit legions. The Dark Nether Death God assessed Dark Universe Time-Space’s catastrophic losses and ordered his forces to clean up the battlefield.

• The Mechanical Civilization, Destruction Divine Kingdom, Light God Race, Limitless Time-Space, and Eternal Day Time-Space sorted, purified, and claimed resources at the Illusory Sea Maze transit station.
• Saine’s rule artillery and the allied legions ambushed and shattered Dark Universe pursuit forces, killing or driving off their powerful leaders and intercepting a Death Monarch’s Death Mark.
• The Dark Nether Death God learned that three of his four Level-12 God Envoys, the Death Star Sea, much of the Lightless Tomb Domain, and numerous Death Altar systems had been lost.
• The Dark Nether Death God’s report also revealed that Ebony and Duolie had taken resources while claiming to provide support.
• The Dark Nether Death God ordered his subordinates to clean up the battlefield.

The Dark Nether Death God chose to preserve Dark Universe Time-Space rather than sacrifice its remaining essence in another battle against Locke. After forcing scattered legions back into line, he began rebuilding the damaged realm and assessing the forces still at his disposal, with the Darkness Source Civilization drawing particular attention.

• The Dark Nether Death God refused to fully awaken the Ancient Death Rule Source Wells because doing so would further weaken Dark Universe Time-Space and empower Locke.
• The Dark Nether Death God ordered scattered legions to return to their Star Sectors, and his Shadow Guard executed deserters to restore order.
• Ebony withdrew with a substantial amount of Dark Origin, while Duolie and the Qisha Time-Space Legion left with resources taken from Dark Universe Time-Space.
• The Dark Nether Death God set aside his grievances against Ebony and Duolie because he still needed potential allies against the Destruction Divine Kingdom.
• The Dark Nether Death God mobilized surviving civilizations to repair shattered planes, rebuild the Death Altar, and reorganize legions.
• The Darkness Source Civilization stood out among the forces active in Dark Universe Time-Space’s recovery.

Great Black Heaven led the Darkness Source Civilization through postwar repairs and suppression in Dark Universe Time-Space, using the chaos to strengthen its position. As native forces grew wary of the outsiders, he moved to secure resources and prepare the civilization for the struggle ahead.

• Great Black Heaven advanced to Level-11 Late-Stage as the Dark Universe Time-Space War ended, and the Dark Nether Death God assigned him tasks to repair the Death Star Sea and restore order.
• Great Black Heaven crushed an out-of-control Death Legion and sent the Darkness Source Legion to reorganize troops and purge disobedient subordinate civilizations.
• Great Black Heaven covertly expanded the Darkness Source Civilization’s control over resource nodes once held by the Death Envoy and the Nether God Envoy.
• Great Black Heaven outfitted new legions with recovered death armor and damaged rule components while dismissing elders’ fears of provoking native forces.
• Great Black Heaven urged the other Level-10 Transcendence Realm experts to move faster as the Darkness Source Civilization seized opportunities in the unsettled postwar order.

After the battle in Dark Universe Time-Space, the Myriad Phenomena Balance Master tried to organize other Dimension Lords against the Destruction Divine Kingdom. The Myriad Law Thunder Emperor rejected his approach, while the Dark Nether Death God reluctantly agreed to hear what he needed to do in exchange for help buying Dark Universe Time-Space time to recover.

• The Myriad Law Thunder Emperor withdrew his legions from Dark Universe Time-Space after the Myriad Phenomena Balance Master urged him to contact other Dimension Lords about countering Locke.
• The Myriad Law Thunder Emperor told the Myriad Phenomena Balance Master he was not his chess piece and left, saying he would decide for himself whether to act against the Destruction Divine Kingdom.
• The Myriad Phenomena Balance Master approached the Dark Nether Death God, who had overheard their earlier disagreement and still distrusted him.
• The Myriad Phenomena Balance Master offered to rally Dimension Lords to slow the Destruction Divine Kingdom, though he warned they might only state their opposition rather than send troops.
• The Dark Nether Death God said he would not be the Myriad Phenomena Balance Master's chess piece, but then asked what he needed to do.

Locke settled in the Demon Cave Time-Space to absorb the gains from the war while his allies recovered. Saine’s research later detected a renewed signal from the Moonlight Essence Branch, revealing a clearer but unstable beacon to the Bronze Gate and the Dimensional Ascension Channel.

• Locke returned to the Demon Cave Time-Space, absorbed destruction factors, and sealed the thunder and death-rule fragments for study.
• Balhaine recovered near the Destruction Black Lotus as she approached the threshold of level 12, while Locke told the injured Kakarot to heal before returning to battle.
• The Limitless Golden Emperor and the Lord of Eternal Day collected their gains and departed.
• Saine studied the sealed Death Envoy with Lina, Little Tenth, Lilith, and Ashar to compare its death rules with those of the Dark Nether Death God.
• In the three hundred and twenty-seventh year of Saine's experiments, the Moonlight Essence Branch briefly revealed unstable coordinates linked to the Bronze Gate and the Dimensional Ascension Channel.
• Saine stopped short of forcing the connection and sent the captured coordinate data to Locke.

The factions of the Destruction Divine Kingdom digested the vast resources taken from the Dark Universe Time-Space war, while Locke decided to let them recover before launching another campaign. The Evil Spirit King received a share of the spoils and consolidated his territory, but a failed attempt to disturb an ancient Origin Mark revealed the danger still sleeping within Evil Swamp Time-Space.

• Mechanical Civilization, the Destruction Divine Kingdom, Eternal Day Time-Space, and Limitless Time-Space processed war spoils into repaired constructs, expanding lands, and new weapons.
• Saine reviewed Mechanical Civilization’s report and recognized that the Dark Universe campaign had been highly profitable, though the Dark Nether Death God and other opponents had not fully cooperated.
• Locke told Saine to let the factions catch their breath and digest their gains before fighting again.
• Locke and Saine sent Dark Universe Death Origin crystals to the Evil Spirit King, who shared much of the shipment with Long Ga, Star Mark, and Agulos.
• The Evil Spirit King’s attempt to loosen an Origin Mark triggered alienation and madness in nearby worlds, so he pressed it back into place and withdrew from the boundary.

The Evil Spirit King rewarded Long Ga, Star Mark, and Agulos before beginning a campaign to seize the Heavenly Wing Demon Lord’s holdings after he fled. The chapter ended with the Evil Spirit King claiming the abandoned temple’s Origin Rules and preserving the Demon Lord’s aura as a future lead.

• The Evil Spirit King divided temples and Origin Nodes among Long Ga, Star Mark, and Agulos, while the Blue-eyed Octopus sent gifts instead of attending.
• The Heavenly Wing Demon Lord fled toward the sleeping Evil Swamp Time-Space Dimension Lord’s domain, leaving his territory behind.
• The Evil Spirit King’s forces took over the Demon Lord’s temples, defeated his legions, and devastated his mother civilization.
• Long Ga led the assault on Storm God City, which fell after more than seventy years of resistance.
• The Evil Spirit King pulled up the Heavenly Wing Demon Lord’s temple, absorbed some of its Origin Rules, and sealed the wind-element core rule to track the fugitive later.

After the Evil Spirit King’s purge forced Lian Mo to seek protection, she traded intelligence and rule samples to the Mechanical Civilization to preserve herself and her temple. Meanwhile, the Evil Spirit King continued consolidating power in Evil Swamp Time-Space, while Locke and Saine planned to use his strength on future expeditions.

• After learning that the Heavenly Wing Demon Lord had fled and lost his temple, Lian Mo contacted Jiang Qi to request an audience with Saine.
• Lian Mo offered Saine temple structure diagrams, secret transaction records, and her own rule samples in exchange for protection.
• Saine secured the Evil Spirit King’s tacit consent, and mechanical beacons stopped the purge forces from approaching Lian Mo’s temple.
• Jiang Qi used a sealed sampling device to extract rule samples from Lian Mo, who accepted the cost of Saine’s research.
• Locke agreed with Saine that the Evil Spirit King should grow stronger without unifying all of Evil Swamp Time-Space, and told Saine to bring him on the next expedition.
• The Evil Spirit King absorbed much of the Heavenly Wing Demon Lord’s former territory and began building a new temple system by promoting lower-level followers.

The Young Faction, aided by the Mechanical Civilization and the Evil Spirit King's forces, defeated Molan and took control of Mist Bone Time-Space, while Molan escaped into Evil Swamp Time-Space. The new rulers began dividing the territory under the Mechanical Civilization's oversight, and Sailot recorded data from a Soul Mist Pool he had dismantled.

• Cenji opened an Ancient Mist Gate for Luomi and the Young Faction, choosing to support their attack on Molan.
• Long Ga and Star Mark joined the assault, and Agulos weakened Molan by destroying two Origin Nodes in Evil Swamp Time-Space.
• Molan was defeated but escaped through a rift into Evil Swamp Time-Space using a Dimension Supreme Treasure.
• The Evil Spirit King ordered Long Ga and Star Mark to stop pursuing Molan and take over his interests in Evil Swamp Time-Space, leaving Luomi, Wuxian, Tamu, and Cenji to handle Mist Bone Time-Space.
• The Mechanical Civilization's Secondary Skynet Mainframe presented a suggested division of territory and resources, ending the Young Faction leaders' dispute.
• Sailot dismantled a Soul Mist Pool, analyzed its mist core, and sealed the death-mist data in an Experiment Record Crystal.

Saine accepted Great Black Heaven’s offer to maintain contact with the Mechanical Civilization, but required him to provide intelligence as a test. A disruption in time announced that Ilena had broken through to Level-12 Late-Stage, whereupon the River of Time merged into her Rule True Body.

• Optimus Prime told Saine that a hidden Mechanical Rule Divine Rune had sent a message from the Darkness Source Civilization.
• Saine agreed to maintain contact with Great Black Heaven but demanded troop routes and three Death Altar coordinates within one thousand years.
• Great Black Heaven accepted the test and sent a trusted Level-11 dark powerhouse to investigate a route.
• A Time Rules fluctuation from Paradise Lost Time-Space interrupted Saine’s experiment.
• Ilena reached Level-12 Late-Stage, and the River of Time merged into her Rule True Body as Locke watched.

Ilena emerged from the River of Time at Level-12 Late-Stage and built an adjustable time-acceleration region in Paradise Lost. After Saine, Alarm Clock Girl, and Rose helped inspect and refine it, Balhaine entered the region to advance toward Level-12.

• Ilena stabilized her breakthrough and created a time-acceleration region with more than a thousand layers of differing Time Flow Rates.
• Sword Demon entered the region to study his sword dao insights, while Balhaine asked Ilena about its limits and learned that fifty times acceleration was near the limit for her Rule True Body.
• Saine visited Ilena with Time-Space Rules Materials and a Time Crystal from Rose, and Alarm Clock Girl identified three nodes that could be adjusted.
• Rose and Saine recorded the region's effects, and they joined Ilena and Alarm Clock Girl in correcting overlapping time layers that could cause memory confusion.
• Balhaine entered the region and, three hundred years later, gathered a vast storm around herself as she merged her battle wounds, insights, and Rule Materials into her Storm Dragon body.

Great Black Heaven sent Saine verified intelligence about Death Altars and legion routes, then became a candidate for the Dark Nether Death God's God Envoy while fearing his secret would be exposed. Meanwhile, the Myriad Phenomena Balance Master gathered only a loose intelligence network, as potential allies refused to commit troops.

• Great Black Heaven used the Mechanical Civilization's One-time Key to send Saine the coordinates of three Death Altars and Dark Nether Direct Legion transfer routes.
• Optimus Prime verified the intelligence, and Saine told the Mechanical Civilization to maintain contact with Great Black Heaven.
• The Dark Nether Death God selected Great Black Heaven and three other Level-11 powerhouses as God Envoy candidates and assigned them Star Sectors and restoration missions.
• Great Black Heaven accepted a mission to repair a Death Rule branch near one of the altars he had disclosed, while hiding his fears and replacing an injured subordinate with an uninformed deputy.
• The Paper Figure Dimension Lord agreed to provide intelligence and three rule-monitoring cards in exchange for a Balance Rule Weight, but refused to send Card Time-Space troops.
• The Myriad Phenomena Balance Master failed to secure a troop commitment from Heavenly Crown Emperor Monarch, who instead investigated the Bewilderment Time-Space Trade Conference, leaving the proposed alliance as a loose intelligence channel.

The Heavenly Wing Demon Lord and Molan fled through Evil Swamp Time-Space as Star Mark, Agulos, and Long Ga destroyed their temples and pursued them. After the pursuit stopped near the sleeping region of the Evil Swamp Time-Space Dimension Lord, the pair approached an ancient ruin whose giant eyes had just opened.

• The Heavenly Wing Demon Lord and Molan joined forces and occupied three abandoned temples, including the Cursed Bone Temple, where Molan tried to restore his Skeleton Mist True Body.
• Star Mark, Long Ga, and Agulos attacked the Cursed Bone Temple, but the Heavenly Wing Demon Lord escaped with Molan after sacrificing one pair of rule wings.
• Star Mark extracted the Cursed Bone Temple’s Origin Core and ordered its defenses dismantled, while the pursuers continued to track the fugitives through Evil Swamp Time-Space.
• During a clash in the Withered Soul Star Sea, Molan burned his origin and the conflict awakened a dormant Origin Mark, prompting the Evil Spirit King to order the pursuit to stop.
• The Heavenly Wing Demon Lord and Molan reached the outer perimeter of the sleeping region and flew toward an ancient ruin after a pair of giant eyes opened within it.
