Recaps

After its costly defeat in the Clear River Time-Space War, Source-Devouring Time-Space repaired its damaged origin network, reorganized its defenses, and treated its wounded Emperor Monarchs. The Source-Devouring Progenitor prioritized recovery over changing the realm’s expansion policy, leaving Source-Devouring Time-Space to begin a long postwar reconstruction.

• The Origin-Balancing Emperor Monarch and the Abyss-Pasture Emperor Monarch contained lingering evil swamp pollution, repaired damaged Origin Nodes, and redeployed the surviving beast forces.
• Source-Devouring Time-Space tallied severe losses and shifted its outer Origin Nodes and Mother Nests into defensive positions after its coordinates were exposed.
• The World-Realm Emperor Monarch and the Rift-Splitting Emperor Monarch searched the collapsed passage but failed to recover coordinates to Clear River Time-Space or other enemy heartlands.
• The World-Realm Emperor Monarch urged the Source-Devouring Progenitor to reconsider indiscriminate invasions, but the Source-Devouring Progenitor ordered the Mother Time-Space restored first.
• The Seven Emperor Monarchs went their separate ways as Source-Devouring Time-Space entered a prolonged period of recovery.

After the Source-Devouring Time-Space war, Saine led Mechanical Civilization back to Gear Time-Space while Locke and the other allies returned to their own realms. Saine began a major research and upgrade program, leaving the next Dimension War for after Mechanical Civilization had studied its new materials and he had consolidated his strength.

• Saine gave Azure Blue Sea Lord the remaining Source-Devouring Node coordinates, then led Mechanical Civilization through the passage back to Gear Time-Space.
• Locke returned to Paradise Lost Time-Space, where Kakarot studied the World-Realm Emperor Monarch's path to Level-13 Peak power.
• Skynet guided the returning War Fortresses to repair fields and an isolated Experimental Zone, where Source-Devouring samples were placed under heavy guard.
• Dark Nether Death God, Ebony, and Duolie refrained from attacking the Destruction Divine Kingdom Faction while its powerful defenders remained in the rear.
• Saine sent Source-Devouring data and combat records to Mechanical Civilization's laboratories and began hundreds of research and upgrade projects.
• Saine postponed another Dimension War while Mechanical Civilization studied the new materials and he consolidated his Level-12 Late-Stage realm.

Saine spent three thousand years studying Source-Devouring Beast Cores and developed stable experimental modules that helped mechanical lifeforms regulate and convert different energies. Meanwhile, the Source-Devouring Progenitor directed its recovering Time-Space to seek new targets for expansion, leaving its next move unknown.

• Saine tested a Level-11 Source-Devouring Beast Core and observed it convert diverse rule energies into Source-Devouring Power.
• After many failed trials, Saine and Skynet stabilized modules that filtered and converted energy without the cores' corrosive properties.
• Saine installed the modules in three hundred Destruction Mech Soldiers, whose multi-attribute tests showed stable performance with only seven minor disturbances.
• The Spirit-Seizing Bone Emperor tried to detonate his Origin Crystal Core, but Skynet and the Balance Dispatch Core suppressed him, and Saine reinforced his seals.
• The Source-Devouring Progenitor ordered the seven Emperor Monarchs to oversee recovery and select new Different Dimensional Planes for future expansion.

Over three thousand years, Clear River Time-Space expanded trade with the Mechanical Civilization, the Destruction Divine Kingdom, and several other dimensions, gaining resources and technology while becoming increasingly dependent on outside powers. The three Super Civilizations accepted most trade agreements for the benefits they brought to recovery and defense, but the long-term costs of unequal exchange remained unresolved.

• The Mechanical Civilization and the Destruction Divine Kingdom maintained restricted garrisons in Clear River Time-Space and sent trade fleets that exchanged manufactured goods and resources for local materials.
• The Wealth Goddess Wojin and Locke’s administrators organized trade deals that brought mechanical equipment, life materials, and other dimensional goods into Clear River Time-Space.
• Myriad Phenomena Time-Space, Card Time-Space, and Thunder Domain Time-Space began tentative exchanges with the three Super Civilizations.
• Trade starfields expanded, and the Profound Water Celestial Pivot Civilization imitated Mechanical Warships while the Azure Blue Sacred Sea Civilization used imported life materials to restore damaged planes.
• The three Super Civilizations accepted most of the Mechanical Civilization’s trade terms, limiting some imports while encouraging local technological development.
• The Azure Blue Sea Lord observed external rules entering Clear River Time-Space but the three Super Civilizations kept the passages open to gain resources and strengthen their defenses.

The Lord of Evil Swamp awakened with unusual clarity and realized that the Source-Devouring Progenitor's rule fragment could not permanently stabilize his will. Seeking help, he contacted Saine directly, leaving the Evil Spirit King and the other former Evil Swamp practitioners uneasy about what he might do next.

• The Lord of Evil Swamp awakened, surveyed the Evil Swamp Time-Space, and chose not to attack the Evil Spirit King or the Level-12 practitioners who had changed allegiances.
• The Lord of Evil Swamp concluded that he needed help extending his lucidity and considered Saine's mechanical rule research and Locke's emotion-type rules valuable.
• The Lord of Evil Swamp sent a message through the Mechanical Civilization's Sky Net Sub-unit, asking Saine to meet with him.
• The Evil Spirit King, the Heavenly Wing Demon Lord, Wuzhuo, and the Blue-eyed Octopus learned of the contact and waited anxiously for Saine and Locke to decide what to do.
• Saine received the message in his Gear Time-Space laboratory and showed keen interest in meeting the lucid Lord of Evil Swamp and studying the Source-Devouring Progenitor's rule fragment.

Saine and Locke met with the lucid Lord of Evil Swamp to investigate how the Source-Devouring Progenitor Rule Fragment was suppressing his confusion. The Lord of Evil Swamp agreed to grant Saine access and cooperate with experiments, leaving Saine with a rare opportunity to study his condition.

• Saine and Locke traveled through a Mechanical Civilization passage to Evil Swamp Time-Space, where the Evil Spirit King told them the Lord of Evil Swamp had not summoned him.
• Saine and Locke found the Lord of Evil Swamp lucid and injured, holding an ochre Rule Fragment that still carried traces of the Source-Devouring Progenitor.
• The Lord of Evil Swamp demonstrated how the countless wills and rules of his time-space overwhelmed his consciousness, while the fragment suppressed the resulting chaos.
• Locke used a wisp of Emotion Rules to temporarily separate chaotic consciousness fluctuations, but warned that his power could not replace Saine's research.
• Saine said he needed to study the Lord of Evil Swamp across different states and might need to extract rule tissue, requiring greater authority and cooperation.
• The Lord of Evil Swamp accepted Saine's terms and agreed to cooperate with the experiments.

Saine studied the Lord of Evil Swamp for over two thousand years and built a Will Stabilization Device that prolonged the Lord’s periods of lucidity. The research also brought Saine close to the Level-12 Peak barrier, but he chose to consolidate his power before attempting a breakthrough.

• Saine established a secret research agreement with the Lord of Evil Swamp, with Locke providing Emotion-type Rule assistance.
• Over more than two thousand years, Saine studied the Lord’s condition and discovered that chaotic rule information overwhelmed his consciousness.
• Saine activated a Will Stabilization Device that divided the incoming rule information and restored the Lord of Evil Swamp’s clarity, despite heavy damage to the Mechanical Nodes.
• The Lord of Evil Swamp increased Saine’s access to his rules, allowing Saine to study the difference between Emperor Monarch-level power and a Lord of Dimension’s authority.
• Saine’s research strengthened the Cube Time-Space and advanced his Mental Strength, magical power, and Truth Soul as he sensed the Level-12 Peak barrier.
• Saine declined to attempt an immediate breakthrough and continued consolidating his power and running rule simulations.

Saine's second will stabilization system kept the Lord of Evil Swamp lucid longer, but experiments showed that external devices could not solve the problem permanently. Saine proposed dividing authority among powerful beings while retaining control of Mother Time-Space, and the Lord of Evil Swamp agreed to test the idea by leaving the Evil Spirit King alone for now.

• Saine activated the second will stabilization system, which divided the information streams entering the Lord of Evil Swamp and kept him lucid longer than the first device had.
• After nearly a quarter of the Mechanical Nodes became contaminated, Saine stopped the experiment when the Lord of Evil Swamp's chaos intensified, then concluded that external devices could not keep him lucid permanently.
• Saine proposed that the Lord of Evil Swamp voluntarily divide some mother time-space authority, and he used the Source-Devouring Progenitor and the Seven Emperor Monarchs as a possible model.
• Saine compared Source-Devouring Time-Space with Destruction Time-Space and Evil Swamp Time-Space, concluding that the Evil Spirit King might become a stable authority-bearing node.
• The Lord of Evil Swamp agreed to begin a small-scale authority-diversion trial and leave the Evil Spirit King alone for the time being.

Saine and Locke negotiated a limited wartime partnership with the Lord of Evil Swamp, testing whether the Evil Spirit King could share his Mother Time-Space rule pressure. The Lord of Evil Swamp agreed to containment measures and to leave the Evil Spirit King's authority in place for now, while preparing to recover before the faction's next campaign against Source-Devouring Time-Space.

• Saine guided a portion of the Lord of Evil Swamp's Rule Origin to the Evil Spirit King, whose absorption slightly reduced the Lord of Evil Swamp's rule pressure.
• The Lord of Evil Swamp asked Saine and Locke for more Rule Fragments of the Source-Devouring Progenitor and offered to join the Destruction Divine Kingdom Faction's next campaign in exchange for origin fragments and living Emperor Monarch-level specimens.
• Locke refused to let the Lord of Evil Swamp enter the faction's army without safeguards, and Saine proposed pollution-zone controls, Authority Diversion, Locke's will stabilization, and emergency severance.
• The Lord of Evil Swamp accepted the wartime restrictions, agreed not to reclaim the Evil Spirit King's Rule Nodes for now, and required that his spoils of war not be reduced.
• Saine recorded the agreement and planned a stronger containment system, while the Lord of Evil Swamp withdrew to recover and the Evil Spirit King and other defected Evil Swamp powerhouses learned the terms.

Saine oversaw the expansion and successful testing of the upgraded Destruction Mechanical Legion while spending more time with his family and monitoring growing trade with Clear River Time-Space. He continued consolidating his power and strengthening Cube Time-Space rather than rushing toward Level-12 Peak.

• Saine approved mass production of safer multi-rule energy conversion modules, and Fumila organized the upgraded Destruction Mechanical Legion into specialized combat formations.
• Fumila led millions of upgraded Mechanical Lifeforms through thousands of conflicting rule environments, where they maintained formation and used nearly half the energy of the old-model legion.
• Sailot discussed mistakes from the Clear River Time-Space War with Saine, who offered advice during a family banquet.
• Saine's wife dispersed his experimental projection at the dining table, while Sailot smiled at his father's awkward reaction.
• Duan Ning visited Saine with High-Grade Golden Cores, and Saine exchanged special materials with her as Clear River Time-Space trade with Gear Time-Space and the Light God Race expanded.
• Saine focused on consolidating his strength and stabilizing Cube Time-Space instead of immediately advancing toward Level-12 Peak.

The Source-Devouring Progenitor ordered World-Realm Emperor Monarch to contact powerful beings hostile to the Destruction Divine Kingdom Faction, hoping to use their grudges to keep that faction occupied. After tracking Dark Nether Death God, Ebony, and Duolie across the Multiverse, World-Realm Emperor Monarch reached them and asked to speak.

• The Source-Devouring Progenitor rejected another immediate large-scale attack and tasked World-Realm Emperor Monarch with contacting enemies of the Destruction Divine Kingdom Faction.
• World-Realm Emperor Monarch studied fragmented memories from devoured Myriad Phenomena Community powerhouses and found rule marks linked to Dark Nether Death God, Ebony, and Duolie.
• World-Realm Emperor Monarch traveled alone through the Multiverse, using the Cosmic Realm Disc to follow the marks while concealing his presence.
• World-Realm Emperor Monarch activated a contact mark in a secluded region after confirming no other Lord of Dimension was nearby.
• Dark Nether Death God, Ebony, and Duolie sensed World-Realm Emperor Monarch's message, and he told them he wanted to speak.

The World-Realm Emperor Monarch met Dark Nether Death God, Ebony, and Duolie to propose exchanging intelligence against the Destruction Divine Kingdom Faction. The three refused a full alliance but secretly established a limited communication channel, leaving Source-Devouring Time-Space with a way to exploit their conflict with its enemies.

• Dark Nether Death God, Ebony, and Duolie met the World-Realm Emperor Monarch in a lifeless dimensional interlayer.
• The World-Realm Emperor Monarch offered intelligence and resources in exchange for information about the Destruction Divine Kingdom Faction, the Mechanical Civilization, Locke, and Saine.
• Dark Nether Death God and the others rejected sharing information about their Mother Time-Spaces and questioned the danger of helping a devouring power grow.
• Ebony, Duolie, and Dark Nether Death God each left a limited communication mark, while Dark Nether Death God agreed only to maintain contact rather than fight alongside Source-Devouring Time-Space.
• After the World-Realm Emperor Monarch departed, the three discussed using him cautiously and erased the meeting's traces to hide it from the Myriad Manifestations Eternal Lord and his allies.

Locke exploited the Destruction Supreme’s weakened control after its clash with the Source-Devouring Progenitor to invade the Star Sector once ruled by the sealed Empty-Faced Burning Monarch. He secured a fragile foothold among its rule nodes, establishing a second destruction star zone he could influence and mobilize.

• Locke used insights from the recent war and Saine’s Realm-Suppressing Ring anchors to infiltrate the Empty-Faced Burning Monarch’s Star Sector through weakened rule nodes.
• Locke seized the first Dark Obelisk and used his emotion-type rules to bring nearby destruction creatures under a more unified will.
• Locke ignited the second through seventh Dark Obelisks, prompting the Destruction Supreme to launch a dark golden destruction tide against them.
• Locke countered the assault with the God Slaying Spear and his prepared anchor points; two obelisks collapsed, but five remained standing and he branded his will into the shattered fragments.
• The Empty-Faced Burning Monarch’s struggles exposed hidden core nodes, and Locke connected twelve destruction nodes to his new rule pathway, forming a fragile imprint and securing a second star zone.

Locke’s control of the Empty-Faced Burning Monarch Star Sector transformed Paradise Lost as Destruction origin flowed into its rules, strengthening its foundation without overwhelming its life system. The two Destruction Star Zones began responding together to Locke, while Saine observed both the promise and the growing burden of Locke’s method of distributing their power.

• Destruction origin from the Empty-Faced Burning Monarch Star Sector entered Paradise Lost, strengthening the Destruction Black Lotus, the God Slaying Spear, and the ancient trees.
• Paradise Lost expanded with new lands, oceans, and starry regions as its rule cycle grew more complete and its legions gained room and resources.
• Destruction Creatures gathered beneath Locke’s five Dark Obelisks and formed a new Surrendered Army to suppress beings still influenced by the Destruction Supreme.
• Legions from the Crystal Tide Wrath Beast Star Sector connected with the new army, linking Locke’s two territories through a black-red rule network.
• Saine examined Skynet’s data and recognized that Locke was sharing Destruction authority across Paradise Lost and his forces, though the filtering burden could grow as he gained more Star Sectors.

Saine’s first authority diversion experiment transferred a portion of Mother Time-Space Authority from the Lord of Evil Swamp to the Evil Spirit King, increasing the King’s power while easing the burden on the Lord. The experiment remained successful for more than a thousand years, leaving Saine to consider whether other powerful beings could become authority bearers.

• The Lord of Evil Swamp offered the Evil Spirit King a portion of Mother Time-Space Authority in exchange for accepting it alongside the nodes he had previously taken.
• The Evil Spirit King accepted, and Saine’s mechanical systems sealed and transferred the authority crystal into his Rule True Body.
• The new authority increased the Evil Spirit King’s power and drew more Evil Swamp Nodes to his will, while the Lord of Evil Swamp retained highest control over it.
• Saine observed that the diversion reduced the Lord of Evil Swamp’s rule pressure, and the Lord remained clear-minded for more than a thousand years.
• Saine considered future authority bearers, including Heavenly Wing Demon Lord, Wuzhuo, and the Blue-eyed Octopus, but warned that some could not yet withstand the authority.

World-Realm Emperor Monarch and Ebony completed a cautious first exchange of intelligence and resources, confirming the value of their secret channel. Great Black Heaven later noticed unusual resource transfers in Dark Universe Time-Space and sent clues to Saine, who raised Skynet’s alert level without exposing the contact.

• World-Realm Emperor Monarch and Ebony exchanged screened battle intelligence at a remote dimensional interlayer, withholding sensitive coordinates and weaknesses.
• Dark Nether Death God’s side traded dark and death-related materials for Source-Devouring Beast Cores and Mother Nest tissue, whose unusual reactions intrigued both sides.
• Great Black Heaven noticed Dark Nether Death God’s concealed resource transfers and later recorded unfamiliar pale yellow materials appearing in a sealed star region.
• Great Black Heaven sent his observations to Saine through a dormant covert channel.
• Saine judged the transfers worth monitoring, raised Skynet’s alert level, and sealed the blurry image in the Magic Cube for later comparison.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun returned to Gear Time-Space after years away and listened as Saine and Locke briefed him on the Multiverse’s recent conflicts and powerful forces. Hongjun remained in Gear Time-Space to meditate, while Saine returned to his laboratory and ongoing experiments.

• Hongjun appeared in Primordial Universe Time-Space, asked about Locke, Saine, and his disciples, then traveled to Gear Time-Space.
• Hongjun reunited with Laozi, Duan Ning, Saine, and Locke, but gave no details about where he had been.
• Saine described the war against Source-Devouring Time-Space and Evil Swamp Time-Space’s recent authority diversion, while Locke explained his clash with the Source-Devouring Progenitor and occupation of a second Star Sector.
• Saine briefed Hongjun on the Myriad Phenomena Community and Great Black Heaven’s anomalous resource movements, which he suspected were connected to Source-Devouring Time-Space.
• Hongjun settled into meditation in Gear Time-Space, Locke returned to stabilize his newly occupied Star Zone, and Saine went back to his laboratory to work with the Source-Devouring Beast Core.

Saine analyzed suspicious bright yellow resources that appeared to follow rules similar to Source-Devouring Time-Space, then sent his suspicions about Dark Nether Death God and his allies to the Myriad Manifestations Eternal Lord. Natalia and Luna discussed preparing for Level-10 Transcendence, while Saine left open the possibility of using future wars to help them temper themselves.

• Saine compared the bright yellow footage with Source-Devouring materials, ordered the data archived, and told Wall-E not to have Great Black Heaven investigate further.
• Natalia and Luna visited Saine with Little Fox Girl and said they might soon enter prolonged seclusion to pursue greater power.
• Saine offered to adjust Natalia and Luna's Rule True Bodies when they reached the right conditions and promised suitable opportunities for battlefield training.
• After Natalia and Luna left, Saine sent the Myriad Manifestations Eternal Lord the suspicious resource-flow data and footage without identifying Great Black Heaven.
• Saine expected the information to deepen the rift between Dark Nether Death God and the Myriad Manifestations Eternal Lord, potentially weakening the Myriad Phenomena Community.

Ebony shared intelligence about Mechanical Civilization’s movements with the World-Realm Emperor Monarch during their second secret exchange. They traded resources and information without agreeing to launch another war, while establishing a more stable channel for future exchanges.

• Ebony presented the World-Realm Emperor Monarch with reports from hidden Observation Nodes showing Mechanical Fleets shifting toward Gear Time-Space and Demon Cave Time-Space.
• The World-Realm Emperor Monarch exchanged Source-Devouring Beast Cores, Mother Nest Tissue, and Rule Crystals for Ebony’s information and Darkness-aligned resources.
• The World-Realm Emperor Monarch tested death mist against Source-Devouring Mother Nest Tissue and found the powers locked in a prolonged stalemate.
• Ebony asked whether Source-Devouring Time-Space would attack Clear River Time-Space again, and the World-Realm Emperor Monarch said it would not act for now.
• Ebony, Dark Nether Death God, and Duolie declined invitations to send troops, while both sides expanded their exchange and strengthened their secret communication channel.

Myriad Manifestations Eternal Lord confirmed that the yellowish-brown material came from Source-Devouring Time-Space and confronted Dark Nether Death God, Ebony, and Duolie about their dealings with it. Their silence led him to sever their access to the Myriad Phenomena Community, leaving the three factions divided and drawing Dark Nether Death God’s group closer to Source-Devouring Time-Space.

• Myriad Manifestations Eternal Lord, Myriad Law Thunder Emperor, and Paper Figure Dimension Lord examined Saine’s footage and identified a faint trace of Source-Devouring Time-Space’s power.
• Myriad Manifestations Eternal Lord asked Dark Nether Death God, Ebony, and Duolie to explain the resource flows and the yellowish-brown material, but they refused to answer directly or stayed silent when he asked whether they were in contact with Source-Devouring Time-Space.
• Myriad Manifestations Eternal Lord removed the three Lords’ rule marks and legion nodes from the Myriad Phenomena Community, while Paper Figure Dimension Lord sealed several channels used by Duolie’s legions.
• The Community’s legions, resource networks, and channels divided between Myriad Manifestations Eternal Lord’s group and Dark Nether Death God’s group without a large-scale war.
• Dark Nether Death God and the others lost the Community’s military and intelligence support but chose to maintain their contact with World-Realm Emperor Monarch, bringing them closer to Source-Devouring Time-Space.

Locke and Saine severed the Crystal Tide Wrath Beast from the Destruction Supreme and imprinted Locke’s Destruction Mark on the Level-12 behemoth. With the beast now obeying Locke, he sent it to seize the remaining nodes in its Star Sector and turned his attention to the Empty-Faced Burning Monarch.

• Locke used his control over the Crystal Tide Wrath Beast’s Star Sector to weaken the Destruction Supreme’s influence, while Saine prepared the Realm-Suppressing Ring to cut off their connection.
• Saine severed the connection as Locke drove the God Slaying Spear’s power into the beast’s Origin Crystal Core and began imprinting his Destruction Mark.
• The Destruction Supreme sent a dark-gold rule arm toward the Star Sector, but Locke’s God Slaying Spear and Saine’s Realm-Suppressing Ring kept it from reaching the beast.
• After several hundred years, Locke and Saine removed the Destruction Supreme’s mark, and the Crystal Tide Wrath Beast submitted to Locke as his second Level-12 mount.
• Locke sent the Crystal Tide Wrath Beast to crush the remaining resistant nodes, then looked toward the Empty-Faced Burning Monarch.

Saine detected a mysterious time fluctuation resembling the Source Tracing Stone while experimenting with a Source-Devouring Beast Core, and suspected it was connected to Douglas or Naige'er. After the fluctuation vanished before he could trace it, a clearer signal reappeared decades later, carrying a trace of Wizard Civilization Mental Strength.

• Saine halted his experiment when the Magic Cube detected a faint time fluctuation with a rule frequency like the Source Tracing Stone.
• Saine preserved contradictory coordinates that pointed to different past and future time nodes and considered whether Douglas or Naige'er had caused the signal.
• Saine summoned Alarm Clock Girl and Despair Matriarch, who found that the fluctuation came from a powerful, directed source whose temporal state they could not pin down.
• Hongjun identified the signal's aura as coming from the Material Star Realm, and Saine began constructing a Reverse Time-Space Positioning Device.
• The fluctuation vanished as the device completed its first cycle, so Saine kept it running at low power and had Alarm Clock Girl leave behind some Time Rules.
• Decades later, the signal returned more clearly, carrying a trace of Mental Strength belonging to a Wizard Civilization Spellcaster.

Saine identified a time fluctuation as the presence of Naige'er, whose life level had surpassed Level-9 and whose mental imprint carried overwhelming fury. He traced Naige'er's repeated attempts to locate him and the Magic Cube across dimensions, then continued the experiment to see how far Naige'er could go.

• Saine used the Magic Cube to identify Naige'er's mental strength signature and determine that his life level had surpassed Level-9.
• Naige'er's fluctuation released overwhelming fury, but Saine could not reconstruct any complete message from it.
• The Alarm Clock Girl said Naige'er kept getting closer, while the Despair Matriarch clarified that he remained in his lower-dimensional universe and was only positioning himself.
• Saine's calculations showed that Naige'er was repeatedly using the Source Tracing Stone to search for Saine and the Magic Cube's coordinates.
• Saine continued running the Reverse Time-Space Positioning Device to see how far Naige'er could go.

Saine tested how Naige’er used the Source Tracing Stone’s old connection to locate the Magic Cube across dimensions. He left a recurring signal for Naige’er, whose search ended with a faint Time Mark on the outskirts of Gear Time-Space pointing toward the Material Star Realm.

• One hundred and seventy years after Naige’er’s second transmission, a dark signal appeared above the Magic Cube, and Saine sent a data-bearing projection away to test what it was tracking.
• The signal shifted toward the projection, then pursued it after Saine stopped the Magic Cube’s main body from releasing Source Tracing Stone records, confirming that the old connection guided Naige’er’s coordinates.
• Saine tested sending a particle and a textual message through the signal, but both were disrupted by time; he concluded that only basic Origin Frequencies and intense emotions could cross as echoes.
• Saine cut off the Magic Cube’s coordinate feedback, and the signal searched in place instead of trying to open a dimensional passage; when he restored the fluctuations, it returned above the Magic Cube.
• Saine ordered Wall-E to record the signal’s frequencies and have the Magic Cube release them regularly, and Naige’er’s signal eventually left a faint Time Mark pointing toward the Material Star Realm.

Saine and Befu analyzed Naige'er's fourth transmission from the Material Star Realm and confirmed that he had found Saine but intended to remain behind. Saine preserved the temporal coordinate as a link to his old acquaintance, until a disturbance in Destruction Time-Space shifted the story toward Locke and the Destruction Supreme.

• Saine and Befu examined Naige'er's fourth Source-Tracing Echo and concluded that he knew Saine had received it.
• Befu and Saine found no clear evidence of what had happened to the Wizard Civilization, but Naige'er's anger and suppressed killing intent suggested it had not reached its worst crisis.
• Saine explained that he could preserve Naige'er's coordinates and receive messages, but could not send power to the Material Star Realm or bring Naige'er to Gear Time-Space.
• Saine sent a faint signal through the Magic Cube, and Naige'er fixed the coordinate mark after confirming Saine's approximate location.
• Saine kept the temporal coordinate under Skynet's monitoring, and Naige'er sent no further messages for several hundred years.
• Destruction Time-Space suffered a violent rule disturbance as the Destruction Supreme launched a stronger assault on Locke's newly branded Destruction Mark on the Crystal Tide Wrath Beast.
