After completing another stage of work on the Staff of Ashes, Saine learned that Minghua had found a way back to Hundred Spirits Aviary and prepared to depart.

• Saine told Meili that he would visit the Land of Divinefall and pursue the True Spirit Realm before traveling to the Immortal Domain.

Saine discovered Cuilisi badly injured after she recklessly tested Chaos Body Tempering with Chaos Fire. Cuilisi said the experiment could create a Chaos Demon Body and give them a new path toward Level 7.

• After arriving at the Azure Flame Holy Tower, Saine researched Chaos Body Tempering in Cuilisi's laboratory.
• When Cuilisi failed to join him, Saine searched the tower and found her engulfed in Chaos Flame in the Negative Magma Pool Laboratory.

• Cuilisi proposed forging a Chaos Demon Body as a new Road to True Spirit for her and Saine.

Saine tested Cuilisi’s Chaos Body Tempering experiment at the Azure Flame Holy Tower and survived, though the Chaos Flame badly burned him. He went to the Zerg Base to recover in Life Mucus, where the Zerg Blade Empress, Lady Lisa, joined him in the pool and asked about his injuries.

• Saine told Lisa about his Chaos Body Tempering experiments, and she explained that mastering Chaos Fire could give him an advantage even as a Dominator.

Saine arrived on the Faelun Continent to prepare for his journey into the Land of Divinefall, where he met delegations from the Chris Civilization and the Faceless One World. After assigning Catherine to show them around the Wizard Star Region, he learned they could help him explore the Filth Space.

• Saine traveled to the Faelun Continent with Fumila and the intelligent robots in his Magic Cube, leaving his Dominator-level forces behind because they could not enter the Land of Divinefall.

• A Chris Civilization representative offered assistance for Saine's journey to the Filth Space, the core strange region of the Land of Divinefall.

• The Chris Civilization and the Faceless One World gave Saine Law Items and exploration records, and Saine promised to forge deep friendships with both civilizations.
• Saine traveled toward the Land of Divinefall with escorts from the Chris Civilization and the Faceless One World, considering whether to draw them into the Wizard Alliance.

• Saine erased a Level Four Gray-Haired Monster with Lightfall Magic, but hundreds more appeared, including one at Level-5 Peak.
• Saine rose into the air and unleashed a curtain of light against the approaching Gray-Haired Monsters.

Saine explored deeper into the Filth Space, collecting Rule Stones, Soul Crystals, and ancient relics as he pieced together the history of the Vosdalia People and the Gray Mist Civilization. He found a Bronze Gate like one he had seen in the Gods' Graveyard and concluded that four Top-Level Civilizations had been involved in the conflict.

• Saine recovered his Element Power and followed a route marked by Rule Stones from the Chris Civilization and the Faceless One World.
• An observer at the core of the Land of Divinefall wondered whether Saine could open the Vosdalia People's Small Gate, after a woman had opened the Great Gate seventeen thousand years earlier.
• Over several years, Saine collected more Rule Stones and ancient relics, learning that the Vosdalia People had fought the Gray Mist Civilization in a war.
• Intelligent Robot 17 discovered a Bronze Gate, and Saine recognized it as similar to one in the Gods' Graveyard and concluded that four Top-Level Civilizations had fought there.

Saine was pulled through the Bronze Gate by a matching Bronze Key and encountered a powerful, hidden presence in a lightless space. The presence revealed secrets about ancient civilizations and asked Saine to keep the place concealed, especially from the Astral Realm Overseer.

• Saine used a Bronze Key, which activated the Bronze Gate and dragged him inside despite his Intelligent Robots' attempts to intervene.
• Saine entered a lightless space and heard a genderless voice ask why he had come.
• The voice said the Vosdalia People had created two gates to evade an era-ending disaster, while the Liulike Divine System's imitation had failed.
• The voice described the fall of the Ke'erdunke Civilization and warned that Saine's civilization might follow the same path.
• Saine asked whether the presence was a Gray Mist Civilization Creature, but it did not answer.
• The presence said Saine must keep the place secret and tell no one, especially the Astral Realm Overseer.

Saine negotiated with the mysterious being in the darkness for answers in exchange for concealing its tracks, and learned that the Vosdalia People discovered a space-time detached from the Star Realm. The being identified their current location not as a parallel space-time but as a “crevice.”

• Saine questioned why the being did not erase him, and it explained that rules required their exchange and that the doors would soon close.
• Saine demanded answers to all his questions instead of material rewards, and the being compared his request to Master Lilith’s.
• The being explained that Saine was special because the Vosdalia People’s artificially made doors had discovered a space-time detached from the Star Realm.
• Saine asked whether they had left the Star Realm and pressed for details about their surroundings.
• The being said the space was not parallel to the Star Realm and called it a “crevice.”

Saine questioned the being in the darkness about the Higher Dimensional Plane, the Vosdalia Civilization, and the being’s past before asking it to demonstrate its remaining power to break balance. The being revived a corpse for Saine to study, then supplied another corpse from the Liulike Pantheon.

• Saine asked what the Higher Dimensional Plane was like, and the being in the darkness said it would rather live than be digested or become a rule.
• The being explained that the Vosdalia People had tried to build a gate to the Higher Dimensional Plane, but their civilization encountered its people before completing the project.
• Saine asked whether the being could still break balance, and it said that part of its power remained within the Time-Space Crack.
• The being revived a corpse into a Gray-Haired Monster, which Saine killed with Lightfall Magic, leaving a Soul Crystal that had not been there before.
• Saine asked to dissect another revived corpse, and the being provided a creature from the Liulike Pantheon that was compatible with its Origin Power.

Saine researched the Gray-Haired Monsters in the Land of Divinefall and gained new knowledge about souls and negative energy. The existence in the darkness transformed Saine’s Magic Cube into a Top-Grade World-Class Secret Treasure, and Saine left with new abilities and questions about the ancient war between the Ke'erdunke Civilization and the Liulike Pantheon.

• Saine studied hundreds of Gray-Haired Monster corpses and learned more about soul-energy conversion, the Undead Element, and Darkness-type laws.
• The existence in the darkness showed Saine the Intelligent Robots in the Filth Space and gave him a mass of Ke'erdunke Civilization law power.
• Saine’s Magic Cube resonated with the law power and transformed into a Top-Grade World-Class Secret Treasure.
• The existence in the darkness explained that the gift was a response to Saine’s emotional feedback and did not require him to perform a favor.
• Saine discovered that the Magic Cube could use Ark’s Origin Power for enlargement, virtualization, and materialization, and could resurrect his Intelligent Robots through Data Stream.
• Saine reflected on the Ke'erdunke Civilization’s war with the Liulike Pantheon and its later destruction by the Gray Mist Civilization.
