Chapter Summaries

Minghua, the Hundred Spirits Immortal Phoenix, and the Rhythmic Purificationist arrived as reinforcements on the Skeleton Remains Front. They avoided the overwhelming Demon Emperor Kailute, and the Hundred Spirits Immortal Phoenix moved to confront the weakened Demon Emperor Leiao while the Rhythmic Purificationist supported her with music.

• The Rhythmic Purificationist played her guzheng to support the Hundred Spirits Immortal Phoenix as she flew toward Leiao.

The Rhythmic Purificationist and the Hundred Spirits Immortal Phoenix joined Saine’s defense of the Skeleton Remains World, helping repel the Evil Tide Civilization’s attacks. As the garrison period neared its end, Saine met the new allies and focused on the Rhythmic Purificationist’s guzheng.

• Saine thanked the Rhythmic Purificationist and noticed that her guzheng was a mid-grade World-Class Secret Treasure.

Saine coordinated the Wizard Civilization’s withdrawal from the Skeleton Remains Front, completing the 270-year mission without losing a Dominator. After the retreat, his growing fame brought Land of Ashes more applicants than it could readily accept.

• Saine told Rhythmic Purificationist he would refine and enhance her guzheng after the war, then gathered Dominators to plan the retreat and rearguard.

• The White Ant Demon Emperor self-destructed part of its body and fled after piercing Ant Queen Elizabeth, allowing her to escape; Saine and other Magicians suspected her bloodline influence had disrupted it.

• The Galente Federation informed Saine that Bond had advanced to become its first Dominator-class Super Gene Warrior.

• Demon Race cultivators, Ghost Cultivators, and zombies joined righteous human cultivators in a united front against the Evil Tide.

As Saine prepared to return to the front, the Undying Supreme began nurturing a mysterious infant as his possible successor. The Secluded Bamboo Supreme visited him and asked about the choices that had led him to the child.

• The Secluded Bamboo Supreme entered, and the Evil Tide creatures left the hall in submission, while the sleeping infant remained undisturbed.

With Wizard Civilization’s frontlines collapsing, Saine chose to ignore Combat Command’s missions and lead the Ashes Group Army to defend the Corrupted Forest Plane. They reached the plane just ahead of Evil Tide’s advance, which was expected to arrive within a few years.

• Combat Command gave Saine three priority missions and two alternatives as Evil Tide rapidly conquered territory in the Challenger Star Territory and the Brain Eater Star Region.
