Chapter Summaries

Saine stayed in the law vortex to save his mentor Luluenman, who was trapped by a beam of Law of Light. He discovered that freeing her would require taking her place, then confessed that he liked her as they exchanged positions.

• Gongsun Wudi ordered General Li and the other Level-4 experts to evacuate, while General Zhang and Ximen Feixiao remained to help.
• Saine left the Space Fortresses and approached Luluenman, with Fumila protecting him from the law vortex.
• Saine summoned Wall-E and analyzed the beam binding Luluenman while she watched him work.
• Saine discovered that the Law of Balance could free Luluenman only if he took her place, and he confessed that he liked her as they exchanged positions.

Saine used the Star Realm’s balance laws to take Luluenman’s place in a deadly pulling beam, leaving her to escape while he struggled against the Energy Tide. As Gongsun Wudi stayed to help and revealed that she was close to becoming a Dominator, Saine realized the Dominator Omnipotent Soul inside the Dominator Eye might help him escape.

• Saine exchanged places with Luluenman, taking the pulling beam’s hold on himself and freeing her.
• Luluenman kissed Saine, promised to wait beyond the Energy Tide, and was pushed away from the vortex by Saine.

• Saine opened his Space Equipment, hoping to use the Dominator Omnipotent Soul to escape the pulling beam.

Saine, Gongsun Wudi, and the Combined Fortress Group were pulled through the law vortex into a mysterious Straight Passage, where Saine began studying its space-folding and time effects. As they continued falling through the passage, they spotted Duan Po and Duan Ning ahead.

• The vortex’s attraction dragged Saine and the Combined Fortress Group toward its center, while Gongsun Wudi chose to grab Saine rather than escape alone.
• Saine, Gongsun Wudi, and the damaged Combined Fortress Group entered a seemingly bottomless Straight Passage at the vortex’s center.
• Saine observed that the passage folded space and likely slowed time compared with the Star Realm.
• Saine reassured Gongsun Wudi that the passage seemed safe for the moment, and they continued falling together.
• Saine saw Duan Po and Duan Ning at the end of the passage.

Saine and Gongsun Wudi descended toward a gray-white spatial wormhole while Duan Po and Duan Ning were drawn toward a scarlet one. Duan Po severed the force pulling his sister and sent her back toward the passage’s exit, but he was swept into the scarlet space as Saine approached the dangerous gray-white space.

• Saine discovered that the Straight Passage divided into separate regions, leading Duan Po and Duan Ning toward a scarlet wormhole while Saine and Gongsun Wudi neared a gray-white one.
• Duan Po used the Firewood Chopping Knife and the Immortal Trapping Sword to cut the traction force binding Duan Ning, sending her back along the passage.

• Saine collected wisps of white law aura, a stone infused with Spacetime Erosion Power, and samples of the mutations affecting his body as he was dragged through the Space Channel.

• Befu explained that she had used the attack to locate the Federation’s Endless Light Launch Device and believed the Dragon Mother and the others had succeeded as well.
• Lisa told Befu that Gongsun Wudi, the inheritor of the Faceless Mask, and several gifted cultivators from the Immortal Domain had disappeared in the Endless Light Energy Tide, leaving Befu astonished.

Befu explained that Wizard Civilization had deliberately allowed Gongsun Wudi and Saine to remain in danger to make the Galente Federation believe she had fallen, and she prepared to exploit compromised Federation officials for intelligence. Months later, Wizard Civilization’s leaders received good news from inside Federation territory, alongside alarming reports of the Minghe Empire’s advance against Light Dimension Country Civilization.

• Befu admitted that Gongsun Wudi and Saine had disappeared by accident because she had kept the secret plan to deceive the Galente Federation from them and most Wizard Civilization leaders.

The Federation’s prospects collapsed, while attention shifted to the escalating war between the Light Dimension Country and the Minghe Empire.

Aoziman · Diesi’s sealing abilities devastated the Light Dimension Country Civilization after he sealed Di'ersi Jia and two Dominator-class Light Giants. The Wizard Civilization studied the threat and identified three possible ways to counter his seals, though none was guaranteed.

• Aoziman · Diesi sealed Di'ersi Jia at the outset of the war, leaving the Light Giants badly outnumbered and without their strongest fighter.
• Aoziman · Diesi sealed two more Dominator-class Light Giants, rapidly breaking the Light Dimension Country Civilization’s resistance without killing his opponents.

The Wizard Civilization devised plans to counter Aoziman · Diesi’s sealing power, including studying sealed Light Giants, while Klopp sent a team to collect specimens and contact their allies. In the Minghe World, the Second Pharaoh King died after giving the Fourth Pharaoh King a brocade pouch marked “Wizard,” which the Fourth Pharaoh King resolved to take to the First Pharaoh King.

• The Fourth Pharaoh King discovered that Satuoguya had died, paid his respects, and decided to deliver the pouch to the First Pharaoh King.

The Fourth Pharaoh King decided to bring the Second Pharaoh King's death and brocade pouch to the First Pharaoh King, concerned that Wizard Civilization would become the Minghe Empire's greatest enemy. At the Light Dimension battlefield, the Light Dimension King and his people prepared to resist the empire's advance, while his son Taiputelu accepted his decision to send another young Dominator as an envoy to Wizard Civilization.

• The Fourth Pharaoh King concluded that Satuoguya's final message warned of Wizard Civilization and set out to deliver the pouch to the First Pharaoh King.
• After eighty-one years of war, the Minghe Empire's forces reached the outskirts of the Light Dimension Country Civilization's Home Starfield at 77 Nebula, where the Light Dimension people fought to resist annihilation.
• Saitelaiwen wounded the Tenth Pharaoh King, but she withdrew rather than risk further losses against the Light Dimension Dominator.
• Aoziman · Diesi showed a gentler temperament and considered advising other Minghe Dominators to follow the Tenth Pharaoh King's cautious approach.
• The Light Dimension King asked Taiputelu whether he resented being kept at the front while Sainagaluo went as an envoy to Wizard Civilization.
• Taiputelu thanked his father for letting him stay and vowed to fight for the Light Dimension Country Civilization until his Heart of Light was exhausted.

The Light Dimension Country Civilization faced near-collapse under the Minghe Empire’s assault but retained powerful fusion techniques, the Plasma Spark Tower, and allies among its native monsters.

• Mikulas, Wuyingdamu, and Aqila fought alongside Saitelaiwen, while Taiputelu’s childhood companion Labidegu was also a Level-7 Early-Stage King of Monsters.

The Light Dimension King rallied the Light Giants and other allied races to defend 77 Nebula, while allowing the violent Beiliya to fight for their civilization. Across the battlefield, Aoziman · Diesi mourned his old companion Satuoguya and held the pouch Satuoguya had left behind.

• The Light Dimension King’s son Taiputelu watched Beiliya warily, remembering that Beiliya had killed ordinary Light Giants and tried to seize the Plasma Spark Tower.

• Aoziman · Diesi mourned Satuoguya, one of his few close friends, and gripped the brocade pouch Satuoguya had left behind.

After learning about the region from Geligao Si, it ordered the demonization of an arriving Minghe Empire patrol legion and went to report to the Devil Ancestor it served.

• Geligao Si led a small band of Light Giants in the besieged Satchino Star System, where the Light Dimension resistance had been weakened by years of Minghe Empire attacks.
