The Withered-Realm Emperor Monarch entered Clear River Time-Space and used two Dimension Supreme Treasures to drain its planes and devastate its legions. His arrival completed a coordinated source-devouring cycle that intensified the invasion, while the Mechanical Civilization warned its allies about the growing threat.

• The Withered-Realm Emperor Monarch stabilized his passage with the Withered-Origin Heavenly Wheel, draining nearby planes and their inhabitants of vitality and origin.
• He unfurled the Withered-World Divine Banner, whose rule mist aged Clear River Time-Space’s legions and forced them to retreat as Destruction Mech Soldiers covered the evacuation.
• The Withered-Realm Emperor Monarch coordinated with the World-Devouring Emperor Monarch and the World-Eroding Emperor Monarch, linking their treasures into a cycle that strengthened the Source-Devouring Beast Legion.
• The number of main Source-Devouring Channels rose to seven as the Abyss-Pasture Emperor Monarch sent more forces, prompting Bing Xin and the Mountain Giant King to contract the six Combat Clusters’ lines.
• Saine compiled the new rule data, and the Mechanical Civilization reported the Source-Devouring Progenitor’s awakening and the Withered-Realm Emperor Monarch’s arrival to the Destruction Divine Kingdom Faction and Final Silence Time-Space.

The Lord of Final Silence learned that the Source-Devouring Progenitor was awakening and decided to prepare a second battlefield rather than commit all his forces to Clear River Time-Space. Final Silence Time-Space mobilized its dormant practitioners and legions as Envoy Jimin continued fighting on the front, while a vast rule rift opened north of the royal court.

• The Lord of Final Silence examined Saine’s report and determined that the Source-Devouring Progenitor had begun mobilizing deeper power, though its awakening was incomplete.

• The Lord of Final Silence ordered the Final Silence Legion to awaken and assigned the Silent Sea Venerable and Fallen-Star Watcher to support the new front, while he remained at the royal court awaiting the Progenitor.
• Envoy Jimin sent the royal court coordinates, channel data, and battlefield findings showing that some high-level Source-Devouring Beasts were resisting stillness.
• Envoy Jimin slowed millions of charging Source-Devouring Beasts, and a vast rule rift opened north of the Final Silence Royal Court.

Locke and Saine coordinated a risky plan to build a temporary Cosmic Gate between Destruction Time-Space and Clear River Time-Space. The gate began to open, preparing to bring Locke’s Surrendered Army across and expose the Source-Devouring Progenitor to the Destruction Supreme.

• Locke decided to use his authority over Destruction Time-Space to gather its native Surrendered Army and create a passage into Clear River Time-Space.
• Locke explained to Saine that he intended to make the Source-Devouring Progenitor’s power aura provoke the Destruction Supreme into attacking it.
• Saine designed the Cosmic Gate using the Bronze Gate, the Ancient Tree of the Moon, the Despair Matriarch’s Time-Space Safeguard, and the Alarm Clock Girl’s timeline anchoring.
• The Despair Matriarch identified a route that could remain stable briefly, while the Alarm Clock Girl, Ancient Tree of the Moon, and Mechanical Civilization prepared their parts of the project.
• A thin black-and-red rift opened inside the Mechanical Civilization’s ring-shaped apparatus, and Locke’s Destruction Black Lotus began expanding it.

Locke opened the Cosmic Gate and sent the Destruction Surrendered Army into Clear River Time-Space to fight the Source-Devouring Beast Legion. The Destruction Supreme and the Source-Devouring Progenitor clashed across the gate, and Locke’s Destruction Gate drew the Destruction Supreme into the war.

• Saine ordered the time window opened as Alarm Clock Girl, Despair Matriarch, the Ancient Tree of the Moon, and Locke stabilized and powered the Cosmic Gate.
• Locke guided the Destruction Tide and the Destruction Surrendered Army through the gate, where they attacked the Source-Devouring Beasts.

• The Destruction Supreme and the Source-Devouring Progenitor’s powers clashed without a clear winner, while Locke watched from the Destruction Black Lotus.

The Destruction Supreme clashed with the Source-Devouring Progenitor through Locke’s Destruction Gate, devastating parts of Clear River Time-Space. Saine exploited the Source-Devouring Beasts’ inability to digest destruction, while the gate shifted to intermittent operation; a long-dormant power then stirred at the outskirts of Source-Devouring Time-Space.

• The Destruction Supreme sent a giant rule arm through the Cosmic Gate, and the Source-Devouring Progenitor countered by devouring its power, triggering destructive explosions that killed countless creatures and damaged nearby planes.
• The clash contaminated Clear River Time-Space with intertwined destruction and source-devouring forces, leaving dangerous regions that the Azure Blue Sea Lord could not quickly repair.
• Saine used Skynet’s observations to identify the Source-Devouring Beasts’ conversion limit and ordered the Destruction Mech Soldiers and Ash Legion to make them consume hard-to-digest power.
• A Level-10 Source-Devouring Lifeform exploded from within after devouring Destruction Creatures, confirming Saine’s tactic as the internal collapses spread across the battlefield.
• Alarm Clock Girl shifted the Destruction Gate to intermittent operation as mismatched time flows threatened to tear it apart, while destruction flames destabilized Source-Devouring Channels and slowed the invasion.
• As the Source-Devouring Progenitor focused on the Destruction Supreme, a long-dormant power emerged from the outskirts of Source-Devouring Time-Space.

The Lord of Final Silence opened a second front in Source-Devouring Time-Space, where the Silent Sea Venerable and the Final Silence Legion established a battlefield and repelled the Source-Devouring Progenitor’s first response. As Source-Devouring forces redirected power and troops toward the new front, Envoy Jimin launched a counterattack in Clear River Time-Space.

• The Fallen-Star Watcher used residual rule traces to open a rift into Source-Devouring Time-Space, and the Silent Sea Venerable led the Final Silence Legion through it.
• The Silent Sea Venerable’s Stillness Rule slowed and froze Source-Devouring Beasts, while the Final Silence Legion advanced and defeated a Level-11 Late-Stage Source-Devouring practitioner.
• The Fallen-Star Watcher established rule nodes across the Second Battlefield, and the Source-Devouring forces attacked them with high-level practitioners and source-devouring tides.
• The Lord of Final Silence sent a ripple through the rule nodes that weakened the Source-Devouring Progenitor’s assault, prompting the progenitor to withdraw its will from the Second Battlefield.
• Origin-Balancing Emperor Monarch Tamisa redirected origin channels, and Abyss-Pasture Emperor Monarch Wumoluo opened more beast nests to reinforce the Second Battlefield.
• Skynet detected declining source-devouring power on Clear River Time-Space’s front lines, and Envoy Jimin ordered the Final Silence Legion to counterattack.

Source-Devouring Time-Space diverted resources to resist the Final Silence Legion, slowing its expansion into Clear River Time-Space while its beasts continued devastating the rear. Locke observed the Destruction Supreme and the Source-Devouring Progenitor clash at the Cosmic Gate, studying their command of dimensional origins for clues to his own path to greater power.

• Abyss-Pasture Emperor Monarch roused Source-Devouring Beast nests, while Origin-Balancing Emperor Monarch redirected the Origin Network to defend against the Final Silence Legion.
• World-Devouring Emperor Monarch, World-Eroding Emperor Monarch, and Withered-Realm Emperor Monarch secured their connections and defenses, halting the Source-Devouring Legion's expansion into Clear River Time-Space.
• A Source-Devouring Beast Legion bypassed the Allied Legion's defenses, devoured dozens of life-bearing planes, and evolved some beasts into Level-7 Dominators.
• Locke compared the Source-Devouring Beasts to Kerrygan's Destruction Zerg Beasts and continued watching the battle at the Destruction Gate instead of joining another Emperor Monarch fight.
• Locke studied how the Destruction Supreme and the Source-Devouring Progenitor wielded their time-spaces' origins, and dark golden patterns appeared on the Destruction Black Lotus as it recorded their rule fluctuations.

The Source-Devouring Progenitor and Destruction Supreme continued their destructive standoff, while Saine assessed how different allied legions fought the Source-Devouring Beasts. Kerrygan’s Destruction Zerg Beast Legion entered the war and began adapting as it clashed with the enemy.

• The Source-Devouring Progenitor and Destruction Supreme exchanged attacks that damaged Clear River Time-Space, then maintained a standoff across the Destruction Gate.
• Skynet’s battlefield analysis showed that Mechanical Civilization’s suppression methods, Eternal Day’s Light Rule, and Final Silence’s Power of Stillness were especially effective against Source-Devouring Beasts.
• Kerrygan’s Destruction Zerg Beast Legion arrived through a Cross-Dimensional Channel and charged into the Source-Devouring Beast army.
• High-ranking Destruction Zerg Beasts weakened and killed a Level-10 Source-Devouring Beast by targeting its beast core after it had devoured millions of insects.
• Surviving Destruction Zerg Beasts began growing deep black-yellow rules keratin between their carapace plates after consuming Source-Devouring Beast Core fragments.

Saine and Mechanical Civilization used the collision between the Destruction Supreme and the Source-Devouring Progenitor to collapse a major Source-Devouring Channel in Clear River Time-Space. The victory cut off the invading legion’s origin support, but the Heavenly Water Deep Blue Mirror showed that Clear River Time-Space had suffered severe wounds.

• Saine selected a heavily contaminated main Source-Devouring Channel and deployed Mechanical Civilization’s Node Chains and allied legions around it.
• The Limitless Golden Emperor kept the World-Eroding Emperor Monarch suppressed while Saine, through the God of Machines, pinned down the World-Devouring Emperor Monarch.
• Alarm Clock Girl opened the Destruction Gate, and the Destruction Supreme’s power collided with the Source-Devouring Progenitor’s devouring vortex near the channel.
• Saine and Mechanical Civilization redirected the collision’s shockwaves into the channel, causing it to split and collapse.
• The allied legions encircled and slaughtered Source-Devouring Beasts cut off from their origin support, while Mechanical Civilization recovered valuable remains and rule fragments.
• The Azure Blue Sea Lord and Lan Qiong observed the victory, while the Heavenly Water Deep Blue Mirror revealed Clear River Time-Space’s worsening origin wounds.

The Source-Devouring Progenitor prepared a Progenitor-Grade Channel and escalated its assault on the Clear River Time-Space, while the Destruction Supreme countered by detonating its own Origin. Locke discovered signs that Paradise Lost and the Destruction Time-Space could synchronize, but the chapter ended as the Source-Devouring Progenitor's enormous eyes opened behind the largest remaining channel.

• The Source-Devouring Progenitor began forming a vast new channel, and the Destruction Supreme responded by detonating a Rules Giant Arm after the Progenitor severed its connection to the Destruction Time-Space.
• The clash between Destruction, Source-Devouring, and Water-Element Origin destabilized Star Sectors and Plane Worlds, while the Source-Devouring forces intensified their assault on the Second Battlefield in the Final Silence Time-Space.

• Saine detected the Source-Devouring Progenitor's growing power through Skynet, while Locke kept his attention on the conflict around the Destruction Gate.
• Two immense Rule Shadows appeared behind the largest remaining Source-Devouring Channel, empowering World-Devouring Emperor Monarch, World-Eroding Emperor Monarch, and Withered-Realm Emperor Monarch as the channel expanded and its defenders retreated.
• The Rule Shadows opened their eyes, revealing a pair of immense rule eyes that nearly filled the channel.

The Source-Devouring Progenitor projected part of his Rule True Body into Clear River Time-Space and attacked the Destruction Gate, shaking the dimensional plane. As the gate neared collapse and more of the Progenitor squeezed through his channel, Saine gathered data while the Final Silence Legion advanced into Source-Devouring Time-Space.

• The Source-Devouring Progenitor's projection suppressed Clear River Time-Space, drained its inhabitants, and reinforced the World-Devouring, World-Eroding, and Withered-Realm Emperor Monarchs.
• The Progenitor reached for the Destruction Gate, and the Destruction Supreme struck back with three giant arms; their clash damaged the projection and tore through Clear River Time-Space's laws and spatial barriers.
• Saine ordered nearby legions to evacuate, then shielded the machinery sustaining the Destruction Gate while the Magic Cube and Skynet recorded the Progenitor's projection.
• The Lord of Final Silence detected the Progenitor's diversion of power and sent the Final Silence Legion deeper into Source-Devouring Time-Space.
• The Progenitor's palm continued tearing apart the Destruction Gate as more of his Rule True Body entered Clear River Time-Space, bringing the gate close to collapse and causing widespread origin tremors.

Locke synchronized the powers of Paradise Lost and Destruction Time-Space, then used the God Slaying Spear to wound the Source-Devouring Progenitor’s projection and help the Destruction Supreme drive it back. The battle continued to intensify before the Destruction Gate, with neither side gaining the upper hand.

• Locke drew on Paradise Lost and Destruction Time-Space together, strengthening his Destruction Demon Body and striking the Source-Devouring Progenitor’s rule palm with the God Slaying Spear.
• Locke’s emotional rules disrupted the progenitor’s devouring power, allowing the Destruction Supreme to smash the projection’s wrist while Locke attacked its torso.
• Saine forced the World-Devouring Emperor Monarch back with the God of Machines’ Destruction Left Fist, while the Limitless Golden Emperor kept the World-Eroding Emperor Monarch pinned beneath golden flames.
• The Lord of Final Silence remained by the passage to Final Silence Time-Space and sent more origin of stillness to suppress source-devouring activity on the Second Battlefield.
• The Source-Devouring Progenitor attacked Locke with three devouring vortexes, but Locke used the Destruction Black Lotus and God Slaying Spear to counter them.
• Locke and the Source-Devouring Progenitor continued clashing before the Destruction Gate, leaving both sides without a clear advantage.

Myriad Manifestations Eternal Lord opposed exploiting the Destruction Divine Kingdom Faction’s entanglement in Clear River Time-Space, arguing that Source-Devouring Time-Space threatened every connected plane. He joined Paper Figure Dimension Lord and Myriad Law Thunder Emperor in contacting the Destruction Divine Kingdom, and Saine received their message while fighting in Clear River Time-Space.

• Dark Nether Death God, Ebony, and Duolie urged the Lords of Dimension to attack Destruction Divine Kingdom and Mechanical Civilization while their main forces were occupied.
• Myriad Manifestations Eternal Lord showed how Source-Devouring Time-Space could spread after consuming Clear River Time-Space and argued that the Lords must first contain that threat.

The Myriad Phenomena Community sent three Expeditionary Legions to Clear River Time-Space, where they helped stabilize two failing star sectors and pushed back the Source-Devouring Beasts. The Myriad Manifestations Eternal Lord observed the greater conflict and became convinced the threat could no longer be ignored.

• Alarm Clock Girl and Despair Matriarch opened a temporary passage, and the three Expeditionary Legions entered Clear River Time-Space half a year later.
• Saine assigned the legions two star sectors suffering continuous defeats, where the Myriad Phenomena, Paper Man, and Myriad Law Thunder forces each used their distinctive rules to devastate Source-Devouring Beasts.
• When Level-11 Source-Devouring Strong Practitioners attacked, the three Level-12 commanders coordinated their powers, killing two enemies and routing many more beasts.

• The Myriad Manifestations Eternal Lord observed the Source-Devouring Progenitor, the Destruction Supreme, and Locke, then reassessed the battlefield and confirmed that the Myriad Phenomena Community had to confront the threat.

The Dark Nether Death God, Ebony, and Duolie launched a probing attack on Demon Cave Time-Space while the Destruction Divine Kingdom Faction’s main forces were occupied in Clear River Time-Space. Saine ordered the defenders to conceal some of their strength, and the frontier fighting began as both sides watched for signs of the other’s reserves.

• The Dark Nether Death God, Ebony, and Duolie chose Demon Cave Time-Space as their target and sent separate elite legions toward its relay nodes, teleportation zones, and resource starfields.

• The Evil Spirit King shielded the Jinyue Witch from Ebony’s power, while the Darkness Demon Ancestor damaged the Yin God Envoy’s Death Domain before letting him retreat.
• The Evil Spirit King ended the pursuit as the remaining Darkness Sword Organization legions left Demon Cave Time-Space.

Saine’s forces destroyed two Source-Devouring Nodes in Clear River Time-Space while the Source-Devouring Progenitor and the Destruction Supreme escalated their clash. The combined pressure checked Clear River Time-Space’s collapse, but tens of thousands of Plane Worlds were already drained and vast regions were irreversibly damaged.

• Saine sent the Mechanical Engineering Legion and three allied expeditionary legions to destroy two Source-Devouring Nodes behind Mechanical Civilization’s front.
• The allied legions dispersed the Nodes’ energy extraction, compressed their connections to Source-Devouring Time-Space, and attacked the exposed veins while Saine’s Node Chains destabilized both Nodes.
• The Source-Devouring Progenitor opened a Devouring Maw, and the Destruction Supreme struck it with a giant hand, causing massive destruction across Clear River Time-Space.
• The Source-Devouring Progenitor tried to drag the Destruction Supreme’s arm into its channel, but the Destruction Supreme detonated the arm’s origin and tore open the Maw.
• Saine recorded the two beings’ rule powers while Locke pressured the Progenitor’s flank and Final Silence Time-Space advanced on a second battlefield.
• The destruction of the rear Nodes destabilized the Progenitor’s projection and helped check Clear River Time-Space’s collapse, though tens of thousands of Plane Worlds had been drained dry.

Locke and the Destruction Supreme grievously wounded the Source-Devouring Progenitor's projection while Saine and the Mechanical Civilization disrupted its reinforcements. The Progenitor withdrew its projection, leaving behind captured fragments as the Destruction Supreme turned toward the Source-Devouring Channel and Clear River Time-Space's rule nodes.

• Locke pierced the Source-Devouring Progenitor's exposed core with the God Slaying Spear, and the Destruction Supreme smashed the projection with its Dark-Gold Fist.
• Locke detonated the origin of emotion inside the projection, disrupting its recovery and forcing it to abandon contaminated fragments.

• The Source-Devouring Progenitor ordered the World-Devouring Emperor Monarch, the World-Eroding Emperor Monarch, and the Withered-Realm Emperor Monarch to continue the war before withdrawing its projection.
• Mechanical Probes collected fragments of the projection in isolated seal containers, and Saine recognized that their Source-Devouring Threads could help trace Source-Devouring Time-Space.
• After the projection vanished, the Destruction Supreme redirected its massive arm toward the Source-Devouring Channel and Clear River Time-Space's rule nodes.

Locke, Saine, Despair Matriarch, and Alarm Clock Girl closed the Destruction Gate after the Destruction Supreme devastated a Source-Devouring Channel and nearby regions of Clear River Time-Space. Back in Source-Devouring Time-Space, the Progenitor recovered from its wounds and turned its attention to the advancing Final Silence forces and the passage behind them.

• Locke recalled the Destruction Black Lotus and ordered his forces to withdraw, weakening the Destruction Gate from within as Saine, Despair Matriarch, and Alarm Clock Girl began dismantling the passage.
• The Ancient Tree of the Moon stabilized the distant transfer node while Locke drove the God Slaying Spear into the gate and severed core veins, undermining the Destruction Supreme's grip.
• The Destruction Supreme hurled its giant arm through the largest Source-Devouring Channel, destroying beasts, killing two Level-11 practitioners, and crushing two Star Sectors before Azure Blue Sea Lord and Lan Qiong helped nearby legions retreat.
• The Destruction Gate closed, leaving the giant arm shattered; Saine and Skynet recorded the rule collision as experimental data and sent new blockade and realm-breaking data to the Combat Clusters.
• The Source-Devouring Progenitor returned to its Origin Sea, healed its wounds, restored order to its veins, and surveyed the fronts across its time-space.
• The Source-Devouring Progenitor focused on Silent Sea Venerable, Fallen-Star Watcher, and the Final Silence expedition, then fixed its attention on the calm Rule Will beyond their cross-dimensional passage.

Clear River Time-Space launched a counteroffensive that destroyed one major Source-Devouring Channel and forced the enemy to retreat toward the remaining channels. As the allied forces reclaimed territory, the Source-Devouring Progenitor attacked the Final Silence Expeditionary Legion, prompting the Lord of Final Silence to awaken and begin a new war.

• Saine ordered the allied forces to focus on three unstable Source-Devouring Channels while defending the other war zones.
• The allied legions broke through the Source-Devouring countercharge and advanced, reclaiming territory while Azure Blue Sea Lord and Lan Qiong uncovered and pinned hidden Source-Devouring Veins.
• After several hundred years, the allied forces destroyed the largest targeted channel, trapped and killed many Source-Devouring Beings, and forced World-Devouring Emperor Monarch, World-Eroding Emperor Monarch, and Withered-Realm Emperor Monarch to withdraw their main legions.
• The Source-Devouring Progenitor attacked the Cross-Time-Space Channel held by Silent Sea Venerable and the Fallen-Star Watcher, overpowering their defenses.
• The Lord of Final Silence opened his eyes, and his Rule True Body formed before the channel as a new battle began against the Source-Devouring Progenitor.

The Lord of Final Silence and the Source-Devouring Progenitor clashed across the Cross-Time-Space Channel, creating a Rule Void that damaged forces on both sides. As the Source-Devouring Progenitor pressed its advantage, the Lord of Final Silence broke a sealing chain and unleashed a burst of stillness, while more chains began to crack.

• The Silent Sea Venerable used the Sea of Stillness to block and slow the Source-Devouring Progenitor’s first attack, before the Lord of Final Silence sent a gray-white Rule Hand into the Second Battlefield.
• The two Rule Hands ground against each other until their powers collapsed, leaving a Rule Void that affected nearby Source-Devouring Beast Mother Nests, the Final Silence Legion, and the Fallen-Star Watcher’s Star Points.
• Saine and Skynet analyzed the collision’s incomplete data, while the Source-Devouring Progenitor launched a second tide and forced the Silent Sea Venerable and Fallen-Star Watcher to contract their lines.
• The first sealing chain on the Lord of Final Silence’s Rule True Body snapped, instantly stilling hundreds of millions of approaching Source-Devouring Beasts and slowing the Progenitor’s second attack.
• The Source-Devouring Progenitor gathered more source power but could not quickly crush the Lord of Final Silence, whose second and third Rule Chains began to crack as dormant Origin Nodes lit up in the Final Silence Royal Court.

The Lord of Final Silence broke his final Self-Sealing Chains and entered the Source-Devouring Time-Space in his full Rule True Body. He and the Source-Devouring Progenitor began battling over the Second Battlefield, while the Silent Sea Venerable and the Fallen-Star Watcher guarded the passage.

• As the sealing chains broke, the Lord of Final Silence’s power grew clearer and more orderly, and the Source-Devouring Progenitor tried to sever the Cross-Time-Space Channel.
• Saine asked how far the Lord of Final Silence intended to take the war, but he gave no answer while the remaining chains continued to crack.
• The final Self-Sealing Chain fell, and the Lord of Final Silence opened a road through the passage before stepping into the Source-Devouring Time-Space.
• The Source-Devouring Progenitor attacked the Lord of Final Silence with bright yellow rule palms, but the Lord slowed and settled the Source-Devouring Veins with his grayish-white rules.
• The Lord of Final Silence advanced across the Second Battlefield as the Source-Devouring Progenitor fought to break his road back to the Final Silence Royal Court.

The Mechanical Civilization and its allies launched a counterattack in Clear River Time-Space after the Lord of Final Silence weakened the Source-Devouring forces, and they destroyed two major Source-Devouring Channels. The victory restored occupied regions and lifted local morale, while Saine considered whether the Mechanical Civilization could use the channels to reach Source-Devouring Time-Space.

• Saine ordered the six Combat Clusters to attack as the Source-Devouring forces weakened, and the allied legions advanced across the battlefield.
• Saine, the Limitless Golden Emperor, and Locke pinned down the World-Devouring Emperor Monarch, World-Eroding Emperor Monarch, and Withered-Realm Emperor Monarch.
• Bing Xin, the Mountain Giant King, Heavenly Wing Demon Lord, Vegeta, and allied forces destabilized and destroyed one Source-Devouring Channel.
• The Myriad Phenomena Community's Volunteer Army and the Mechanical Civilization severed a second channel, throwing the Source-Devouring Beast Legion into chaos.
