Xin Ming Walker tried to escape the battlefield using his white-mist trump card, but Anli Gustavo’s Hellfire struck him and left him helpless before the Wizard Civilization’s forces. Anli then focused on Saine and the World-Class Secret Treasures he carried, while two Demon Kings began arguing over whether to seize them.

• Xin Ming Walker activated his white-mist trump card and tried to flee as Fumila and a giant fortress metal robot attacked him.
• Hell Ravens led by Anli Gustavo arrived, and Anli’s deep blue Hellfire struck Xin Ming Walker before he could escape.
• Xin Ming Walker’s body solidified, and the giant fortress metal robot’s fist crushed him into the snow beneath a collapsing mountain.
• Anli Gustavo watched Saine, the Magic Cube, and Saine’s mask with greed as a Level-5 Demon King offered to seize the two World-Class Secret Treasures.
• A Flame Demon King interrupted the offer and objected.

Anli Gustavo sent more than a dozen Demon Kings to overwhelm Xin Ming Walker, who was killed and devoured while Anli claimed his most valuable remains and possessions. After the battle, Saine received a Level-6 heart from Setum as thanks for his help, and the two established a connection that Saine hoped might later help him obtain Blood Crystals.

• Anli Gustavo ordered the Demon Kings around him to attack the snowy battlefield while he stayed behind.
• The Demon Kings killed Xin Ming Walker and divided his remains and possessions, giving his heart, head, crystal core, and storage equipment to Anli Gustavo.

• Saine gained two divine sparks, while Setum claimed the head of the Level-6 native god and gave Saine its heart as thanks for his intervention.
• Saine accepted Setum's offer of future help and decided to wait until the war was nearing its end before seeking more Blood Crystals.

After Saine helped the demons defeat their enemy, Anli Gustavo met with Gongsun Wudi and agreed to coordinate the armies’ advance. At Gongsun Wudi’s request, Anli revealed the Azure Blue Flame that had stopped the enemy’s escape.

• Saine studied Anli Gustavo’s Azure Blue Flame, while Anli noticed the Faceless Mask and wondered where he had seen it before.
• After Anli left, Saine refused Gongsun Wudi’s offer to help him get the flame and set out with her to attack regions of the West Continent.

• Anli gave the Flame Demon an Azure Blue Flame seed to send to Saine as a gesture of sincerity, relieved that he had avoided making an enemy of Joss’s disciple.

Saine received the Azure Blue Flame from Setum as a gift from Anli Gustavo, and arranged to trade with the demons for top-grade Blood Crystals. Setum departed with Recovery Potions and Energy Amethysts for Anli, while Saine wondered why the flame had been sent to him.

• Saine met with the still-injured Setum, who said Anli Gustavo had sent him to present a gift in thanks for Saine's help.

• Setum promised to deliver the gifts and left without knowing why Anli had sent the flame.

While Saine devoted himself to experimenting with the Azure Blue Flame, Lieutenant James and his troops prepared for the approaching Zerg Swarm. The Zerg overran James’s base in just five Quantum Hours, and the swarm continued toward Tianxiao No. 2 Cluster Base.

• Saine turned command of the war over to Beipeng and Mel so he could experiment, while Yuli assisted him and Fumila guarded the laboratory.

• Beipeng visited Saine’s Planetary Fortress and warned that the Zerg were advancing across both continents with overwhelming force.
• Saine reviewed battle intelligence showing the Zerg fielded six Dominator-class beings against three combined for the Tianming Empire and demons, and agreed the war might end sooner than expected.

• Saine resolved to reach Level-5 Peak as soon as possible and surprise Luluenman and the others.

Saine received Blood Crystals and a refining method from the demon race, then continued experimenting until he merged Azure Blue Flame with the Flames of Ash. His new power reached Level-5 Peak, and he decided to leave his laboratory and take part in the Divine Descendant World War.

• After hearing that the Divine Descendant World’s center had become a forbidden zone, Saine kept studying his Truth Arcana and completed the second stage of his Azure Blue Flame experiments.
• Saine told Beipeng, Gongsun Wudi, and the others about his next experiment, and they supported him by guarding his Planetary Fortress.
• The Kada Star Thief Group delivered top-grade Blood Crystals and a refining method from the demon race, which Saine stored away for later research.
• Saine wondered whether Setum had avoided delivering the gifts himself because Saine had asked the demons for too many benefits, and realized he had not paid for the latest delivery.
• Five years later, Saine merged Azure Blue Flame with the Flames of Ash, gaining enough power to threaten a Level-6 Creature without his artifacts.
• Saine judged his power to have reached Level-5 Peak and decided to join the Divine Descendant World War instead of staying in his laboratory.

Saine tested his new power on the Divine Descendant World battlefield as the Zerg Legion drove the world toward defeat. Marduk’s attempt to surrender failed, and as the Blade Empress continued her attack, Tianyang Venerable died beyond the plane.

• Saine rampaged across multiple battlefields as the Deep Blue Demon, while Mel and Beipeng discussed his Blood Crystal Potion research.
• Beipeng drank a Blood Crystal Potion, charged into battle, and helped the God of Black Mist defeat a Level-5 native god; Mel then joined the fighting in her giant dragon form.

• The Blade Empress rejected Marduk’s plea and struck his damaged Ark again, leaving him in despair as the Divine Descendant World neared destruction.
• A dazzling light flashed beyond the plane, where Tianyang Venerable of the Myriad Transformations Celestial Venerable World met his end.

Tianyang Venerable was overwhelmed by five Dominators outside the Divine Descendant World and unleashed his final power in a desperate attack against Gongsun Wuji. As his blazing strike threatened to spread into the world, the other Dominators prepared to withstand it.

• Gongsun Wuji abandoned the siege of Venerable Mu Ge and joined Blade Warrior, Thunder Beast King, Gustavo, and the Holy Dragon King in attacking Tianyang Venerable.
• Saine watched Tianyang Venerable burn his Dominator Soul and illuminate the sky like a second sun.
• Tianyang Venerable condemned Gongsun Wuji and launched a massive Fire Pattern Palm Print at him in a final act of revenge.
• Gustavo retreated behind a Bone Shield while Thunder Beast King moved toward Gongsun Wuji to absorb the impact of Tianyang Venerable's desperate strike.

The Blade Warrior and Gongsun Wuji joined forces against Tianyang Venerable’s desperate assault, but a powerful phantom arrived and shielded the wounded Venerable. The Blade Queen identified the newcomer as Only-I Venerable, a top-tier rank-eight lifeform.

• The Blade Warrior charged Tianyang Venerable with a spear formed from his own bones as Gongsun Wuji raised the Imperial Jade Seal and the Holy Dragon King protected him.

• The Blade Queen arrived to find Gongsun Wuji and the others facing a phantom that was sheltering the gravely wounded Tianyang Venerable.
• The Blade Queen recognized the phantom as Only-I Venerable.

Only-I Venerable arrived on the battlefield outside the Divine Descendant World, and Blade Queen Lisa began evolving into her combat form to face him. The Wizard Civilization Dominators prepared to fight alongside her.

• Blade Queen Lisa entered her combat state, growing bone blades and spikes across her body.
• Gongsun Wuji, the Holy Dragon King, the Blade Warrior, the Thunder Beast King, and Demon Dominator Gustavo took combat stances alongside Blade Queen Lisa.

Blade Queen Lisa rejected Only-I Venerable’s offer and attacked him as the Dominator War continued beyond the plane. Years later, fragments of a Dominator’s body fell across the Divine Descendant World, sparking a desperate scramble and another wave of slaughter.

• Only-I Venerable offered to release Tianyang Venerable and Venerable Mu Ge in exchange for peace and a favor, but Blade Queen Lisa refused and charged at him.

• Saine and other Wizard Civilization powerhouses rushed to claim the fragments, while the world’s remaining factions joined the scramble.
• Golden light possessed and transformed some beings, making them targets for Wizard Civilization legions as a new wave of slaughter swept the plane.
• A Level-6 Demon King, a Level-5 bat demon, and a wounded Level-4 Traveler disputed a clot of blood they identified as part of Tianyang Venerable’s body.

After claiming a fragment of Dominator's Blood, Saine returned to his Planetary Fortress to study how it empowered a native elk and theorized that the Divine Descendant World's Plane Will had helped creatures absorb it. His experiments were interrupted by a tremendous explosion and law fluctuations from the Dominator battlefield beyond the plane.

• Saine seized a fist-sized fragment of Dominator's Blood while Beipeng, Ximen Feixiao, and others grabbed smaller pieces amid the fighting.
• Fumila took the Magic Cube from Saine and led the Mechanical Angel Legion to continue fighting for Dominator's Blood while Saine returned to his Planetary Fortress with Yuli.
• Saine examined an elk that had risen from Level-1 to Demigod after consuming a tiny fragment of Dominator's Blood and theorized that the Plane Will had enabled its transformation.
• Saine considered using guardians or other lifeforms near the Plane Navel as intermediaries to extract Dominator's Blood, but had yet to complete his experiments.
• A tremendous explosion and law fluctuations from beyond the plane interrupted Saine's research, signaling that something had happened at the central Dominator battlefield.

The Blade Empress destroyed Only-I Venerable’s law projection after killing Tianyang Venerable, while Only-I Venerable’s true body faced the losses suffered by the Myriad Transformations Celestial Venerable World. He held back the planned second wave of forces and ordered Jin Yan Venerable to investigate Cloud Arising Venerable before deciding whether to continue the war.

• Only-I Venerable ordered Jin Yan Venerable to hold back the second wave and investigate Cloud Arising Venerable’s situation.

On the Tyrannical Planet battlefield, Cloud Arising Venerable watched a Level-8 melee and witnessed the grievously wounded Destruction Giant Ape Wukong repeatedly smash the Blood Mosquito Dominator.

• Only-I Venerable learned that Jin Yan Venerable could not contact Cloud Arising Venerable and ordered Hai Yun Venerable and the others to pause their deployment.
• Only-I Venerable said the Myriad Transformations Celestial Venerable World had fulfilled its contract by sending three Dominators and ordered Jin Yan Venerable to investigate Cloud Arising Venerable’s situation.
• Cloud Arising Venerable remained at the edge of the Tyrannical Planet battlefield, where Wukong, Li Qingshan, the Galente Federation’s Level-8 War Fleet, and the Blood Mosquitoes fought.
• Cloud Arising Venerable watched the wounded Wukong withstand attacks and repeatedly shatter the aggregated Blood Mosquito Dominator with his giant staff.

Destruction Giant Ape Wukong battered Mosquito Daoist in a violent Dominator battle, while Cloud Arising Venerable watched from a distance. Mosquito Daoist re-formed his true body and faced Wukong’s renewed charge, still unable to understand the ape’s seemingly inexhaustible power.

• Wukong paused after a relentless assault, then saw the Blood Mosquito condensing its true body and charged again.
• Mosquito Daoist re-formed as a white-robed Daoist within his Blood Mosquito Law True Body and braced himself for Wukong’s attack.

• Mosquito Daoist had come seeking Wukong’s Eighth-Grade Black Lotus of Destruction and now wondered how Wukong could wield such power after his wounds.

The Destruction Giant Ape Wukong repeatedly crushed the Mosquito Daoist, but both Dominators were left severely wounded and Wukong’s Sea-Stabilizing Divine Needle split in two. Unable to keep fighting Wukong, the Mosquito Daoist fled toward Cloud Arising Venerable, demanding an arm so he could feed and recover.

• Wukong annihilated the Mosquito Daoist’s true body again, and the impact cracked the Galente Federation’s Energy Barrier and formed a Destruction Storm.
• Wukong’s Sea-Stabilizing Divine Needle snapped in two after enduring the battle, while the Mosquito Daoist re-formed, pale and badly injured.
• The Mosquito Daoist feared that continued direct combat with Wukong would get him killed, while Wukong charged at him again in fury.
• The Mosquito Daoist transformed into hundreds of millions of Blood Mosquitoes and fled toward Cloud Arising Venerable, hoping to consume his blood and vitality.
• The Mosquito Daoist demanded that Cloud Arising Venerable give him an arm.

Cloud Arising Venerable was threatened by Mosquito Daoist but was protected by the Destruction Giant Ape, then joined the fight against the Blood Mosquitoes. As reinforcements arrived at the battlefield, the Wizard Civilization’s forces engaged and overpowered the Galente Federation’s fleet.

Elune and Kampas arrived with Wizard Civilization reinforcements on the Tyron Star battlefield, where Elune helped Wukong recover his clarity. Cloud Arising Venerable and his forces joined Wukong against the Blood Mosquito Dominator, and Wukong unleashed an army of Monkey Descendants as the battle erupted again.

• Befu sent Elune, the Elf God, and Kampas, the Orc God, to reinforce the battle on Tyron Star.
• Elune used her Light of Clarity to calm Wukong, who then apologized to Cloud Arising Venerable and asked him to fight alongside him.
• Myriad Transformations Celestial Venerable World legions began attacking the Blood Mosquito forces, and Cloud Arising Venerable chose to join Wukong against the Mosquito Daoist.
• Wukong summoned countless Monkey Descendants infused with Destruction Power, and the forces clashed once more.

Elf and orc reinforcements overwhelmed the battlefield, prompting Mosquito Daoist to flee while the wounded Destruction Giant Ape Wukong tried to stop him. Wukong summoned help by striking his Golden Hoop, sending a signal toward the Buddhist Realm of the Immortal Domain Civilization.

• Wukong’s message from the battlefield reached Tathagata Buddha as he preached at the Great Thunderclap Temple.
• Buddhism Sect’s leaders saw Wukong’s request as a chance to enter the war despite Wizard Civilization’s reluctance to accept their aid.
