• Oren ordered the Nine Stars Civilization to follow its original plan and lead an assault on the Muddled Sea Star Territory with the Black Abyss Star Envoy.

Star Radiance Envoy Oren launched Nine Stars Civilization and the Demon Subjugation Alliance into a general offensive against the Evil Tide, whose weakened outer defenses exposed its losses and internal corruption. Undying Supreme planned to send Zi You to seek support from the Wizard Civilization and Immortal Domain while the Evil Tide focused on its rebellion and the threat of the Decayed Civilization.

• Star Radiance Envoy Oren chose to launch a general offensive against the Evil Tide despite the unresolved actions of rogue Combat Legions and Dominators.
• The Demon Subjugation Alliance discovered that the Evil Tide's outer defenses were depleted after the Evil Tide suffered heavy losses and recalled elite legions to the Demon Domain.
• Undying Supreme told Secluded Bamboo Supreme that Zi You had uncovered the corruption within the Evil Tide and that Liè Chǐ and the Decayed Civilization had acted as a result.
• Secluded Bamboo Supreme blamed himself for failing to detect the many corrupted Demon Emperors, especially among his own subordinates.

• Secluded Bamboo Supreme wondered whether the unsealed Darkness God could mutually eliminate the Decayed Civilization's God of Destruction Zanding on the Dimensional Battlefield.

The Undying Supreme and Secluded Bamboo Supreme dispatched Devil Ancestors to confront the Decayed Civilization while weighing the Evil Tide Civilization’s weakened state and mounting threats. As chaos engulfed the battlefield, Star Wheel Demon Ancestor arrived and attacked Liè Chǐ Demon Ancestor.

• Demon Fall Supreme declared that Liè Chǐ must die, while the Undying Supreme and Secluded Bamboo Supreme identified the Decayed Civilization’s Bone Emperor and Autumn as targets.

As Evil Tide reinforcements arrived, the Decayed and Evil Tide forces prepared for a massive battle in the Central Battlefield of Evil Tide Civilization. Meanwhile, Saine considered whether Wizard Civilization should join the pressure on Evil Tide, just as Zi You arrived seeking a meeting.

• Star Wheel Demon Ancestor attacked Liè Chǐ Demon Ancestor after discovering his defection, while the Shura Demon Emperor survived Liè Chǐ Demon Ancestor's assault.
• Star Wheel Demon Ancestor, the Six-Winged Demon Ancestor, and Mist and Haze Demon Ancestor arrived and engaged Liè Chǐ Demon Ancestor, Autumn, and the Bone Emperor.
• More than four hundred Demon Emperors and vast Evil Tide Legions converged on the battlefield as the conflict threatened to become a war between hundreds of Dominators.
• Rogge and Woerta asked Saine whether Wizard Civilization would act from Silver Soul World, where Silver Knight was restraining the eager Undead Dominators.
• Saine asked whether Master Fa Hai remained at the Silver Soul World Battlefield, then learned that Zi You had arrived in the Wizard Star Region seeking a meeting with Wizard Civilization's high-level.

Zi You asked Saine to slow Wizard Civilization’s advance in exchange for additional starfields, but he refused and said the offensive would intensify. Saine inferred that Evil Tide Civilization was facing a severe internal rebellion and made clear that Wizard Civilization would keep fighting for its own interests while possibly sharing enemies with Evil Tide.

• Zi You arrived at Wizard Civilization’s War Command Headquarters with Sylvanas Demon Emperor and Raptor Demon Emperor and offered additional starfields in exchange for slowing the offensive.
• Saine asked where Demon Emperor Sheng Huang was, then rejected Zi You’s proposal and declared that Wizard Civilization’s advance would grow stronger.
• Zi You questioned Saine’s refusal, pointing to the wars and purges within Wizard Civilization.
• Saine guessed that Evil Tide Civilization’s internal conflict was more severe and might involve a rebellion by an expert at the Devil Ancestor level.
• Saine told Zi You that Wizard Civilization would fight for its own War Fortune, continue advancing into the Evil Tide Depths, and might share enemies with Evil Tide Civilization.

Zi You agreed to let Wizard Civilization take control of part of the territory ravaged by the Decayed Civilization Legion, and Saine decided to intensify the war against Evil Tide. After a long strategic meeting, Alice proposed that creatures around Wizard Civilization might have developed resistance to the Power of Decay.

• Zi You accepted Saine's request on behalf of Evil Tide Civilization and asked Wizard Civilization to spare its retreating legions from excessive casualties.
• Saine told Zi You he would advise Immortal Domain's leaders, including Master Tongtian, to respond as Wizard Civilization did, and she returned to the war.
• Saine summoned Wizard Civilization's higher-ups and announced that he would intensify the offensive against Evil Tide.
• Saine said he would bring Immortal Domain and Silver Soul World into a full-scale war against Evil Tide, while Nobin raised the question of Immortal Domain's involvement.
• After the meeting, Alice told Saine she suspected Wizard Civilization's people and nearby civilizations had developed resistance to the Power of Decay.

Alice accepted Saine’s assignment to lead the Vanguard Legion after the Faceless King was dealt with, while Saine briefly reunited with his family before the battlefield demanded his attention again. He traveled to Pantera World to begin a Resurrection Experiment using its divine tree and the True Spirit Light of Death Knight Alex.

• Alice speculated that the Decayed Civilization might have destroyed Azeroth Civilization, and Saine agreed to wait for more specimens before testing the theory.
• Saine appointed Alice to lead Wizard Civilization’s armies into the depths of the Evil Tide, with Kaseda continuing to work alongside her.
• Saine spent time with Duan Ning, Tourmaline, and their children, who were delighted by the gifts Duan Ning had brought from the Immortal Domain.
• Wizard Civilization’s forces advanced toward Pantera World and the Ant-Man Star Territory, prompting Saine to leave his family and head for Pantera World.
• Saine arrived at Pantera World to use its divine tree in an experiment to resurrect the Overlord-level knight Alex, and asked Mel whether Dark Flame Master had arrived.

Saine conducted a successful Gate of Resurrection experiment on Pantera Planet, using Alex’s preserved true spirit and help from the Dark Flame Master. While the revived figure began to take shape, Saine also assessed the war against the Evil Tide and agreed to have the Icarus Conglomerate restore Pantera Planet.

• Mel told Saine that the Dark Flame Master was expected soon, and Saine ordered the Resurrection Experiment to begin.
• Saine and the assistants used the God Tree and Alex’s true spirit to operate the Gate of Resurrection, with the Dark Flame Master contributing after he arrived.
• The experiment proceeded successfully, transforming the metallic Gate of Resurrection into a Gate of Souls as a human silhouette began to form beneath it.
• Saine reviewed Wizard Civilization’s war preparations and learned that the Evil Tide had stripped most resources from Pantera World before withdrawing.
• Wojin asked Saine to let the Icarus Conglomerate handle Pantera Planet’s restoration, and Saine agreed.

Saine weighed whether building a power base around himself was necessary to lead Wizard Civilization through its postwar recovery. After three years of effort, Death Knight Alex emerged from the Gate of Resurrection, with Luo Bo there to welcome him.

• Saine recognized that his dealings with the Evil Tide, Pantera’s restoration, and its debts had created a closed loop of influence and wealth around him.
• Saine considered how Befu had relied on the legacy of Wizard Civilization’s First Generation Level-9 Knight and concluded that he needed to build a power structure centered on himself.
• Saine judged that decisive leadership suited Wizard Civilization during wartime and recovery, though he questioned whether senior powerhouses would have accepted him as leader in peacetime.
• After three years of resources and work, Death Knight Alex began to emerge from the Gate of Resurrection.
• Luo Bo returned from the frontline to witness Alex’s rebirth, and Alex opened his eyes as silvery-white Death Fire ignited on his brow.

Saine and the Wizard Civilization powerhouses monitored Alex as he slowly recovered his memories after being resurrected, while considering the immense cost and promise of the Resurrection Experiment. When Luo Bo’s arrival triggered Alex’s awakening, Alex manifested his bonded Sword of the Dead and then struck his own face with his left hand.

• Saine and the True Spirit Magicians reconstructed Alex’s body with Death Element Rule Materials, including Silver Flame from the Silver Soul World.
• Alex awoke confused, and Saine recalled how resurrection had left Gomora and Dark Flame Master with gaps in their memories.
• Saine and the other powerhouses weighed the huge resources spent on Alex’s resurrection against its value and the promise of developing Resurrection Arcana.
• For half a year, Saine, Nefka, and the others monitored Alex’s soul as his consciousness and memories gradually recovered.
• When Luo Bo approached, Alex’s soul turbulence surged, and he drew his bonded Sword of the Dead from the void.
• Alex struck his own face with his left hand, and dense Death Silver Flame erupted between his head and hand.

Alex revived as a skeletal Death Knight after Wizard Civilization’s resurrection experiment, and Saine ordered him to return to the Wizard World to recover. Meanwhile, the Demon Subjugation Alliance launched a major offensive against the Evil Tide, leaving Demon Ancestor Kai Huang to face its forces alone.

• Alex resurrected with his body burned away by Death Silver Flame, and he discovered that his Dominator Soul value had risen to 15%.
• Alex covered his skeletal body with a cloak, thanked Wizard Civilization’s leaders, and learned that Saine had become Civilization Leader.
• Saine told the magicians to let Alex return to the Wizard World to recover and shift the resurrection base’s research toward lower-level lifeforms.
• Oren led the Nine Stars Civilization and allied forces in a full-scale offensive against the Evil Tide on the Demon Subjugation Alliance Battlefield.
• With Evil Tide short of high-level fighters, Demon Ancestor Kai Huang faced the allied forces alone.

Demon Ancestor Kai Huang prepared to face the Demon Subjugation Alliance’s powerful forces at the Endless Fire Territory Battlefield, while Star Radiance Envoy Oren struggled to assemble a reliable coalition to kill him. Oren’s plans faced delays, missing resources, and the Capricorn Empire’s refusal to commit its fleet, leaving the alliance’s coordinated offensive in doubt.

• Demon Ancestor Kai Huang gathered nearly two hundred Devil Emperors and prepared for an imminent major battle against the Demon Subjugation Alliance’s Level-8 Peak fighters.
• Star Radiance Envoy Oren arrived at the Endless Fire Territory Battlefield with part of the Nine Stars Civilization’s legions, where Safina had also gathered to help kill Demon Ancestor Kai Huang.
• Safina told Oren that Only-I Venerable was delayed by trouble in the Myriad Transformations Celestial Venerable World but intended to join the battle later.
• Oren worried that Safina had not brought the Source Energy Sub-City and that Only-I Venerable’s delay would force changes to the alliance’s war plan.
• The Capricorn Empire refused to send its remaining Royal Fleet Group to the Endless Fire Territory, claiming it would only operate near the Metal Graveyard War Zone.
• Oren grew disheartened as the Capricorn Empire promoted Prince Harris’s uncontrolled fleet’s attacks as a planned imperial counteroffensive while withholding support from Oren’s campaign.

Ogrimmar, a peak Demon King known as the Hammer of Destruction, arrived on the Endless Fire Domain Battlefield after years of campaigns under Du Longtan. As the Demon Subjugation Alliance launched its planned offensive, Ogrimmar prepared to fight the Yan Emperor Divine Clan’s fierce assault.

• Oren told First Flame Emperor that the Demon Subjugation Alliance would launch its general offensive in fifty years, even if Only-I Venerable had not arrived.
• Ogrimmar reflected on his rise through the Evil Tide Legion and his wish to return to his homeland after Du Longtan was transferred to the central rear.
• The Demon Subjugation Alliance launched an assault on the Evil Tide’s lines across the Endless Fire Domain Battlefield, with the Yan Emperor Divine Clan leading the fiercest attack.
• Cindy warned Ogrimmar not to face the Yan Emperor Divine Clan’s Flame Emperors head-on and introduced herself as the Flesh Ripper.
• Ogrimmar introduced himself as the Hammer of Destruction, and Cindy recognized his fire-inclined Destruction Element laws as a reason he had been sent to the battlefield.

Ogrimmar broke through to Level 6 while fighting the Yan Emperor Divine Clan, then prepared to support Cindy as the invasion continued. At the heart of the Dead Fire Territory, Oren, First Flame Emperor, and Safina confronted Kai Huang, who hinted that he recognized Safina’s Space Blades.

• Ogrimmar unleashed the Power of Destruction against the Yan Emperor Divine Clan Legion and broke through to the Demon Emperor realm.
• Ogrimmar charged the mid-stage Level-6 Flame Emperor again, intending to drive back the invading forces before supporting Cindy.
• Kai Huang stood at the center of the Dead Fire Territory as Oren, First Flame Emperor, and Safina arrived to face him.
• First Flame Emperor offered to fight Kai Huang alone, but Safina readied her Space Blades instead.
• Kai Huang told Safina that he had seen similar Space Blades in another powerhouse’s hands and asked whether that powerhouse had taken them from her.

Demon Ancestor Kai Huang faced five Demon Subjugation Alliance experts on the Dead Fire Territory Battlefield and attacked First Flame Emperor. He held firm against their strikes as the battle continued.

• Demon Ancestor Kai Huang taunted the alliance’s leaders and challenged them to attack him together.
• Kai Huang struck First Flame Emperor with the Undying Demon Blade, and First Flame Emperor blocked it with the Strange Fire Cauldron before counterattacking with the Nine Thousand Flame Heavy Ruler.
• Kai Huang endured First Flame Emperor’s blow without faltering.
• Galaxy Star Safina attacked Kai Huang from the side, but her Shockwave Blade failed to pierce his knee guard.

Star Radiance Envoy Oren and other Dominators joined the fight against Demon Ancestor Kai Huang, while Gaia Demon Emperor held off the Black Abyss Star Envoy. Elsewhere, Saine kept Wizard Civilization from advancing too quickly into Evil Tide territory and heard that the Silver Soul World Battlefield remained fiercely contested.

• Star Radiance Envoy Oren used his Star Radiance Domain and struck Demon Ancestor Kai Huang, damaging his Undying Demonic Armor as the attackers gained the advantage.
• Gaia Demon Emperor staked everything on keeping the Black Abyss Star Envoy occupied, while Evil Tide Demon Emperors joined the defense around Demon Ancestor Kai Huang.
• Saine rejected Evil Tide Civilization's request for Wizard Civilization to hurry to their agreed coordinate, choosing to wait for the wars to produce definite results.
• Nefka told Saine that the Immortal Domain was advancing faster than Wizard Civilization and that Di Fa continued to hold the Evil Tide lines against the Silver Soul World legions.
• Saine compared Di Fa to Merrick Marshal and noted that Evil Tide Civilization had stationed its two remaining Devil Ancestor-level powerhouses, Kai Huang and Di Fa, on the outer front lines.
