The Galente Federation uncovered evidence that the Ai Youlan Butterfly Civilization’s ancient activity centered near the Black Bat Civilization and sent more forces to investigate, prompting Wizard Civilization to reinforce the region as well. Seventeen years after the last battle devastated the Wonderful Plane, the world had begun recovering while becoming a major hub for the growing military buildup.

• Emory told the Galente Federation’s upper echelon that Ai Youlan Butterfly Civilization relics could be more valuable to the Federation than the Black Yin Civilization’s Beast Taming Art.

• The Galente Federation legion on the battlefield made an obvious move as Saine and the others received the order.

Saine and a group of powerful companions prepared to explore the Ai Youlan Butterfly Civilization’s Central Ruins, hidden in a subspace within a contested battlefield. Before departing, Saine met Dexas, a Level-4 Light Giant from the Light Dimension Country Civilization, and learned more about his origins and abilities.

• Wizard Civilization pinpointed the Ai Youlan Butterfly Civilization’s Central Ruins in a subspace within the battlefield where the Ancient Desert Wasteland World held the advantage.
• Saine, Aika Xi, Kalazo, and other Level-5 Creatures were selected for the expedition, while Bai Xing stayed behind to face the Sea Planet Legion.

• Saine learned that Dexas was a Flesh Creature whose combat form could grow over a thousand meters tall, and Milena said goodbye to him before the expedition departed.

Saine brought his Super Magic Guided Bomb to the Central Ruins of the Ai Youlan Butterfly Civilization and joined Wizard Civilization’s exploration effort. After learning that the ruins’ vast interior remained mostly unexplored and that progress had been difficult, he entered with Aika Xi while Kalazo and Milena stayed outside.

• Saine carried his Super Magic Guided Bomb, capable of severely injuring a Level-6 Creature, from the Space Fortress as one of his trump cards.

• Saine, Mo Yan, and the others passed through the spatially dangerous entrance to the Central Ruins and flew toward a distant speck in the sands.
• The chapter described Wall-E, an industrial robot that had survived for tens of millions of years by repairing itself and waiting for its master to return.
• Wall-E weathered a sandstorm by sheltering beneath the ruins, then resumed its lonely garbage-processing routine.
• After sensing a mysterious pull from the east, Wall-E left its work and headed toward it, recalling the last time it had done so when it found its Electronic Cockroach pet, Hal.

Saine sensed an unusual tremor from the Magic Cube while visiting the Wizard Civilization’s exploration site in the Central Ruins of the Ai Youlan Butterfly Civilization. He set aside his questions about the anomaly to visit Master Gilbert’s excavation, but the source of the tremor remained unknown.

• Saine felt a faint tremor from the Magic Cube and considered how he might someday upgrade it or fuse its abilities with the Faceless Mask.
• Saine asked a nearby Level-4 Magician whether Master Gilbert and the other researchers were still below, and learned they were investigating a newly identified pit.
• The Wizard Civilization’s explorers had found two small Inert Crystal veins, ancient relics, and evidence linking Gray Crystal to the Ai Youlan Butterfly Civilization.
• Saine learned that invisible energy barriers divided the ruins into separate regions, with magicians using instruments and existing gaps to pass through them.
• Saine dismissed the Level-4 Magician and prepared to descend into the pit, but glanced west again and wondered what had caused the Magic Cube’s tremor.

Saine learned that Gilbert Master and Wei Li were studying an Ai Youlan Butterfly Civilization mineral reserve, while Wizard Civilization’s exploration of the central ruins remained slow and contentious. As Galente Federation forces gathered at the Ancient Desert Wasteland World, James Bond arrived with a team, newly advanced to Level 5 and wearing a World-Class Secret Treasure.

• Wei Li told Saine that Gilbert Master believed the mineral vein had once been an Ai Youlan Butterfly Civilization Energy Crystal reserve, but its damaged fragments had revealed little.

• Bond explained that Black Yin Civilization remains might still be in the Central Ruins and said he could use their lingering power, gripping the Metal Ring on his wrist.

Saine examined ancient biological remains and Gene Slime from a Black Yin Civilization warship wreck, then considered how to study the substance. The chapter ended with Mo Yan agreeing to taste the Gene Slime as a test subject.

• Saine reflected that specialists like Gilbert, Howard, and Bobulu had modest life levels because their research fields did not directly advance a magician's strength.
• Bobulu showed Saine a preserved, artificially altered giant beast and compared its creation to the Wizard World's Corpse Refinement Synthetic Beasts.
• Saine asked Bobulu for biological specimens and Gene Slime from the ruins, and Bobulu arranged for magicians to bring them.
• Mo Yan followed the Gene Slime's scent and showed an eager interest in drinking it.
• Saine asked Mo Yan to taste the Gene Slime to help test its properties, and Mo Yan readily agreed.

Saine continued researching the ancient Black Yin Civilization’s Gene Slime and improving his Super Magic Guided Bomb while living in the ruins. After a tremor shook the area, Yuli and Flame Mark remained on alert, with Flame Mark’s unexplained sense of being watched still unresolved.

• Over four years in the ruins, Saine worked with the exploration team and, with Gilbert Master’s guidance, raised his Magic Guided Bomb’s energy development to 98.17%.
• Saine gave Mo Yan improved Gene Slime, which enhanced his physique but carried risks of genetic collapse and a berserk state if too much was consumed.
• Mo Yan accepted the genetic modification for himself but refused to let his two cousins undergo it.
• A faint tremor shook Saine’s laboratory, and Saine went outside while Mo Yan fell asleep on the Laboratory Table.
• Saine found Yuli circling overhead in Flame Mark, and the two stayed alert as Flame Mark’s report of being watched remained unexplained.

Saine discovered that the strange presence Flame Mark sensed pointed toward the heart of the Ai Youlan Butterfly Civilization Central Ruins, just as the Galente Federation invaded. The ruins became a flashpoint in the widening war as Bond sent Fumila and over a million Angel-Type Robots inside to search before Wizard Civilization reinforcements arrived.

• Flame Mark told Saine that the feeling of being watched came and went, and Yuli pointed toward the unexplored western region where the Magic Cube had first reacted.
• Howard Master warned Saine that the Galente Federation had invaded the ruins, and Saine spotted two Federation combat units as the distant storm cleared.

Saine rushed to reinforce Howard Master’s Laboratory Base after Galente Federation forces invaded the Central Ruins. He joined the battle against the Federation’s powerful mechs and vessels while the fighting outside the ruins also appeared to be underway.

• Saine spotted Galente Federation forces entering the ruins, woke Mo Yan, and ordered the Laboratory Bases to activate their defenses and prepare reinforcements.
• Saine gathered Mo Yan, Qixiu, Hanliu, and other knights and magicians, while Hanliu destroyed Federation warships and drone swarms along their route.
• Saine reached Howard Master’s Laboratory Base and found it under attack from two Level-5 giant mechs and special Federation vessels.
• Saine told his allies to deal with the Federation vessels, transformed into his Ash Demon true form, and charged into the battlefield to help Howard Master.
• Saine’s arrival and fresh forces eased the pressure on Howard Master, though the Wizard Civilization garrison outside the ruins was also apparently fighting.

Saine and Master Howard faced a Galente Federation assault on the Laboratory Base and discovered that a million-strong Angel Legion led by the Level-6 Eight-Winged Angel Fumila was approaching. Cube-shaped barriers from the Ai Youlan Butterfly Civilization ruins blocked the enemy forces, giving Saine and Howard a chance to order the base’s combat personnel to flee.

• Saine joined Master Howard in battle and learned that the Laboratory Base and its preserved Ai Youlan Butterfly Civilization research had suffered no major losses.
• Saine rejected Howard’s plan to hold the base after spotting Fumila and the Angel Legion approaching across the yellow sands.
