Chapter Summaries

Saine discussed the premium alchemy materials collected on the Dimensional Battlefield and considered how the participating Dominators were using their rewards. He recognized that the Dimensional Hegemony was draining the Mechanical Civilization’s accumulated reserves, but Zi You offered the Evil Tide resources she had brought to help him endure the war.

• Duan Ning said the Destruction Giant Ape would likely give the Dark Emperor’s dominator remains to Laozi, while Saine had been the one supplying her with premium materials.
• Duan Ning explained that Safina, Helen, and other Dominators had given their spoils to Luluman, and Saine realized they were securing favors through his mentor.
• Saine noted that Dominators were profiting from Level-8 Golden Pills and battlefield resources, while the Mechanical and Dreadful Treant Civilizations both suffered heavy losses.
• Saine assessed that his Magic Cube supplied only half the battlefield’s energy needs, leaving the rest to be paid from his accumulated stockpile.
• Saine recalled that Zi You had brought immense Evil Tide resources into his service, and Zi You offered those resources to help him through the Dimensional Hegemony.

After the Land of Exile war settled into a stalemate, Saine considered Befu’s proposal to train Wizard Civilization forces on dimensional battlefields. He agreed to let Green try, accepting that growth could require facing unknown risks.

• Saine began using Zi You’s resources after the war had dragged on for more than two thousand years, while declining offers of aid from Blade Queen Lisa, Befu, Master Tongtian, and others.
• The Mechanical Civilization’s advance slowed after the Dark Emperor and Ancient Giant Toad died, as the Dreadful Treant Civilization’s resilient defenses and underground roots prolonged the fighting.
• Befu suggested sending Wizard Civilization forces and Potential Seeds to dimensional battlefields for training, led by Dominator-class Beings.
• Saine weighed the dangers of travel and entanglement in other civilizations’ conflicts, then suggested Befu ask Green to try the plan.

Befu considered Saine’s advice about the Wizard Civilization’s potential risks in Dimensional Hegemony as the war continued. In its 3,612th year, the Dreadful Treant Civilization revealed new supreme treasures and possible Level-8 Peak advances, while efforts to recruit other Top-Level Civilizations met with mixed results.

• Befu took Saine’s suggestion to heart and considered whether the Wizard Civilization should intervene in Dimensional Hegemony.
• The Dreadful Treant Civilization revealed the Qiong Hua Staff and Jade Shadow Divine Hook, forged by the Jue Teng Tree Demon.
• The White Feather Rebel King and Layered Silver Tree showed signs of advancing to Level-8 Peak with the Dreadful Treant Civilization’s support.
• The Dawn Civilization and Sage Civilization persuaded three of seven contacted Top-Level Civilizations to join the Dreadful Treant Civilization’s camp.
• Mackayang rejected the recruitment offer, warned that the Mechanical Civilization had powerful allies, and severed the Typhon Giant Civilization’s communications with the Dawn Civilization.

The Typhon Giant Civilization warned the War God Peak Civilization that the Dreadful Treant Civilization was recruiting allies for the Dimensional Hegemony. Despite some Top-Level Civilizations refusing, several civilizations and powerful freelancers accepted the offer, leaving the Dreadful Treant Civilization with a growing coalition to send into the Land of Exile.

• Mackayang told the War God Peak Civilization that the Dawn Civilization had tried to recruit the Typhon Giant Civilization on behalf of the Dreadful Treant Civilization, offering a ten-thousand-year Level-9 Tree Crystal.
• Yun Long promised to inform the Wizard Civilization and raise Mackayang’s request for subcontracted labor at the Eight Directions Conglomerate summit.
• Saine and the Mechanical Civilization learned that three Top-Level Civilizations—the Luofei Fierce Red Dog Civilization, the Stark Pantheon, and the Sky-Based Human Civilization—had agreed to join the Dreadful Treant Civilization’s campaign.
• The Dreadful Treant Civilization also recruited five Level-8 Peak or stronger freelancers, including the Black Halberdier, while another expert backed out after learning the Mechanical Civilization’s true strength.
• The new recruits joined because Jue Teng Tree Demon paid a large advance and the Dreadful Treant Civilization still appeared to hold a slight edge in Level-7 and Level-8 Dominators.

The Dreadful Treant Civilization struggled against the Mechanical Civilization despite attracting outside allies, while the fortunes and losses of earlier battlefield participants showed that Saine’s side offered greater freedom and rewards. Blazing Red Fox was urged to leave the battlefield and prioritize the Blue Fox Civilization’s long-term standing in the Eight Directions Conglomerate.

• Jue Teng Tree Demon welcomed aid from three Top-Level Civilizations and five peak powerhouses, though the Dreadful Treant Civilization continued losing ground to the Mechanical Civilization.
• Liu Yun refused to summon more high-level figures to the battlefield, while the Lord of Holy Spirit departed, Dark Emperor and the Dark Empire were destroyed, and Ya Zi and Nether River Old Ancestor divided the Ancient Giant Toad’s remains.
• Saine advised First Flame Emperor to return and recover before sending other Yan Emperor Divine Clan Dominators to the battlefield.
• The Level-8 Late-Stage Blue Fox urged Blazing Red Fox to return, explaining that earning the Wizard Civilization’s favor and entering the Eight Directions Conglomerate’s core mattered more than battlefield loot.

Saine recognized that the Mechanical Civilization could attract a new wave of outside support to the Land of Exile Dimensional Battlefield, where other civilizations sought profits and new resources. The chapter left the other members of the Eight Directions Conglomerate weighing their civilizations’ futures after seeing the Wizard Civilization and Immortal Domain’s strength.

• Saine applied lessons from the Evil Tide Civilization’s past war, using generous terms and autonomy to maintain cooperation with allied civilizations and Dominators.
• Saine inferred that the Dreadful Treant Civilization was preparing to bring reinforcements, including three top-level civilizations and individual experts, to the battlefield.
• Saine considered inviting more outside support as the Mechanical Civilization’s battlefield profits drew interest from civilizations across the Material Star Realm.
• The Yan Emperor Divine Clan, Blue Fox Civilization, and Silver Knight’s Silver Soul World gained valuable resources, prompting other members of the Eight Directions Conglomerate to seek their own share.
• The Immortal Domain’s factions grew envious of the battlefield’s rare resources, while leaders across the Eight Directions Conglomerate worried about how their civilizations could keep pace with the Wizard Civilization and Immortal Domain.

Saine drew the Typhon Giant Civilization closer to the Wizard Civilization’s allies with access to the Demon Territory’s joint development and trade network, while preparing the Eight Directions Conglomerate for the Land of Exile war. After more than two hundred years, the Dreadful Treant Civilization’s first reinforcements arrived: the Luofei Fierce Red Dog Civilization.

• Saine told the Eight Directions Conglomerate’s other Top-Level Civilizations to prepare and required would-be participants in the Dimensional Hegemony to report to him and Green.
• Yun Long relayed the Typhon Giant Civilization’s offer of help, and Saine responded by inviting it into the Declaration of Joint Development of the Demon Territory and the Conglomerate’s resource trading system.
• The Typhon Giant King complained that the War God Peak Civilization had not told them sooner about the benefits, while Yun Long offered an awkward smile.
• Saine held the Conglomerate’s forces back until the Dreadful Treant Civilization’s reinforcements arrived, keeping them ready to enter the war.
• After more than two hundred years, the Luofei Fierce Red Dog Civilization arrived through blazing Gates of Hellfire in the Land of Exile.

The Dreadful Treant Civilization welcomed the Luofei Fierce Red Dog Civilization’s forces to the Land of Exile battlefield and negotiated for more Dominators to join. At the same time, Demon Lord Tian Gen broke his contract after learning the battlefield was more dangerous than promised, leaving the Dreadful Treant Civilization with compensation paid in Soul Crystals.

• The Eight Directions Conglomerate chose the War God Peak Civilization and Immortal Domain experts to respond to the Luofei Fierce Red Dog Civilization’s arrival.
• Thin Dog negotiated with the Calamity Source Giant Tree, securing a promise of full compensation and an advance payment for the Luofei Fierce Red Dog Civilization’s Dominators.
• The Luofei Fierce Red Dog Civilization sent fifteen Dominators to the battlefield and kept at least twenty more ready to deploy.
• Demon Lord Tian Gen changed his mind about joining the battlefield after learning it was more dangerous than the Sage Civilization and Dreadful Treant Civilization had claimed.
• Demon Lord Tian Gen returned the advance payment’s value with other resources, including a large quantity of Soul Crystals, after using some of the Life Element treasures to heal his injuries.

Demon Lord Tian Gen refused to join the Dimensional Hegemony despite owing the Dreadful Treant Civilization triple compensation for breaking his contract. Meanwhile, the Sky-Based Human Civilization and other reinforcements entered the Land of Exile, though warnings and fears led some to reduce their forces or regret their commitment.

• Demon Lord Tian Gen refused to fight and promised to repay the Dreadful Treant Civilization within twenty thousand Material Star Realm years, while remaining unable to gather the full compensation.
• The Dreadful Treant Civilization used the Soul Crystals Tian Gen had paid as nutrients, as more civilizations and experts joined the war and brought new spoils to both sides.
• Ming worried that the expanding Dimensional Hegemony might bring further surprises, but the Astral Realm Will could not reassure him.
• The Silver Lamp World warned the Sky-Based Human Civilization that it would face the Mechanical Civilization and the Eight Directions Civilization Axis Conglomerate, but its leader ignored the warning and sent a reduced force of twelve High-Level Dominator-Level Combat Powers.
• Gegentis, a Level-8 Peak King Bug, regretted agreeing to fight but feared the triple breach payment too much to withdraw.

The Dreadful Treant Civilization recruited the Gegentis Queen Worm and other powerful beings to fight in the Dimensional Hegemony by offering them rewards and personal temptations. The new arrivals entered the battlefield, where the Earth Roaring Green Dragon immediately became interested in Befu.

• Great Sage Pant persuaded the Gegentis Queen Worm to join the battle by promising it Blade Queen Lisa, her Zerg, and her Civilization Supreme Treasure.
• The Gegentis Queen Worm ignored El's warning and entered the Land of Exile with its vast insect swarm and the Heart-Electric Crystal Ball.
• The Lord of Flame Demon joined after the Jue Teng Tree Demon promised it a Civilization Supreme Treasure.
• The Earth Roaring Green Dragon joined after the Jue Teng Tree Demon promised it the Flying Illusion Flower Spirit as a mate if its side won.
• The Earth Roaring Green Dragon sensed a beautiful woman among the Heavenly Planet Destroyer Fleet and announced its interest in Befu across the battlefield.
• The Neutron Star arrived as the strongest new powerhouse, possessing Half-Level-9 strength.

The Earth Roaring Green Dragon drew the wrath of the Mechanical Civilization and its allies after boasting across the battlefield and attacking the Heavenly Planet Destroyer Fleet. As Befu and a host of powerful Dominators closed in, the wounded dragon tried to flee into the Dreadful Treant Civilization’s rear but was trapped by Safina’s sealed space.

• Befu ordered the Heavenly Planet Destroyer Fleet to strike the Earth Roaring Green Dragon, piercing its heart and forcing it to retreat toward the Dreadful Treant Civilization’s positions.
• Great Sage Pant persuaded the reinforcements that the Dreadful Treant Civilization’s advance payment was only a small part of the rewards they could gain from victory.
• Befu pursued the dragon as Ya Zi, the Nether River Old Ancestor, the Blazing Red Fox, Safina, Yin, and Di'ersi Jia converged on its location.
• The Earth Roaring Green Dragon realized the danger and tried to flee deeper into the Dreadful Treant Civilization’s rear.
• Galaxy Star Safina surrounded the dragon with more than twenty Source Energy Sub-Cities and sealed its escape, while Ya Zi confronted it.

The Mechanical Civilization and the Dreadful Treant Civilization drew their allies and external reinforcements into the Land of Exile, pushing the Dimensional Hegemony to its apparent scale limit while the Mechanical side maintained the advantage. As the fighting spread across multiple fronts, Neutron Star revealed that it had come to find someone rather than attack the Mechanical Civilization.

• The Dreadful Treant Civilization sent reinforcements to rescue the Earth Roaring Green Dragon, but the Mechanical Civilization matched its deployment with even more forces.
• Saine judged that both sides had committed nearly all their available external reinforcements and that few new forces would dare join while the Mechanical Civilization showed no clear weakness.
• The Luofei Fierce Red Dog Civilization, Stark Pantheon, and Sky-Based Human Civilization entered the battlefield and faced the War God Peak Civilization, Mani God System Civilization, and Free Blade Civilization and Iron-Blood Civilization, respectively.
• Saine let the Eight Directions Conglomerate command its own forces freely and did not prevent the Level-8 Peak Blazing Red Fox from returning to the Material Star Realm to recuperate.
• First Flame Emperor struggled against the peak-condition Half-Level-9 planetary lifeform Neutron Star, which sent word that it had come to find someone.

Saine sent the Sky Star Remnant Race to the Land of Exile battlefield, where Little Star befriended the lonely Half-Level-9 Neutron Star and invited it to join them. Neutron Star accepted, provoking Jue Teng Tree Demon, and Saine stepped in as the conflict erupted.

• Saine ordered the Sky Star Remnant Race to investigate the battlefield after learning that a Half-Level-9 Being had come looking for someone.
• The Sky Star Remnant Race arrived, and Neutron Star felt a connection to the star bodies, especially after seeing how they cooperated with Earth Elemental Creatures.
• Little Star approached Neutron Star, orbited it, and formed a connection through their shared gravitational laws.
• Little Star asked Neutron Star to leave the Dreadful Treant Civilization and join them, and Neutron Star agreed.
• Jue Teng Tree Demon roared in anger and threatened Neutron Star, so Saine made his move.

Saine helped Neutron Star manage its Rule Contract compensation after it defected to the Mechanical Civilization camp, while his clash with the Jue Teng Tree Demon continued. First Flame Emperor withdrew to the rear to refine medicine, and Neutron Star joined the Sky Star Civilization on the battlefield, delighted to meet its kindred.

• Saine refused to pay Neutron Star’s contract penalties, but Neutron Star opened its stellar curtain and poured out resources to begin repaying them.
• Saine advised Neutron Star to pay thirty percent first and offered to revise the Rule Contract so it could repay the rest over tens of thousands of years.
• Saine told the exhausted First Flame Emperor to rest or support the war effort by refining medicine in the deep rear, and First Flame Emperor agreed.
• Saine assigned no combat duties to Neutron Star and considered its possible future entry into the Wizard Alliance.
• First Flame Emperor flew to the deep rear, while Neutron Star met the Sky Star Civilization at Little Star’s invitation and gave its members top-grade Earth Element resources.

Saine revealed his Ash Power while fighting the Jue Teng Tree Demon, whose roots drew on the strength of its plane and the Nightmare Star Territory. Saine rejected the demon’s attempt to talk and struck at it, while the Wizard Civilization’s forces continued to overwhelm the Earth Roaring Green Dragon.

• Saine brought out Ash Power against the Jue Teng Tree Demon, alarming the Plant Element Dominator with a power that countered it.
• Saine unleashed a vast wave of Ash source power, and the Jue Teng Tree Demon extended its roots to draw on its plane and the Nightmare Star Territory.
• The Jue Teng Tree Demon proposed that they talk, but Saine refused and attacked with a gigantic Hand of Ash.
• The Wizard Civilization’s powerhouses kept the Earth Roaring Green Dragon pinned down after its promised support from the Dreadful Treant Civilization failed to arrive.
• Befu invoked the Radiant Pearl, and the Earth Roaring Green Dragon faced the power of the Civilization Supreme Treasure with terror and despair.

The Earth Roaring Green Dragon surrendered to Befu but was condemned to die, then endured a brutal assault as its wounds repeatedly healed. Elsewhere, Saine suppressed the Jue Teng Tree Demon, while reinforcements joined the Mechanical Civilization’s battles against the Luofei Fierce Red Dog Civilization.

• The Earth Roaring Green Dragon admitted defeat and offered to serve Befu as a mount, but Befu rejected the offer and ordered an attack.

• Saine, transformed into the Ash God, and the Mechanical Civilization suppressed the Jue Teng Tree Demon’s true body.
• The War God Peak Civilization began to falter against the Luofei Fierce Red Dog Civilization, but Bai Xing, the Immortal Domain Dragon Race, Little Dragon Girl, and Nezha arrived to reinforce the Mechanical Civilization.

Nezha brought the Exposition Sect and Immortal Domain forces to aid the battle against the Luofei Fierce Red Dog Civilization, and Wukong joined them with his destructive weapon and golden cores. Wukong smashed several of Jialan’s teeth, giving Yun Long an opening to attack with his rule cannon.

• Nezha arrived with Exposition Sect disciples and a large force of Heavenly Soldiers and Generals to reinforce the battlefield.
• Yang Jian arrived with his dominator-class Howling Celestial Dog as Jialan fought Yun Long with the Scorching Fang and Gale Claw.
• Nezha invited Wukong to the battlefield, and Wukong brought two Purple-Gold Gourds of golden cores after returning from the Material Star Realm.
• Wukong struck Jialan with the Destruction Giant Club, shattering several of the Three-Headed Hellhound’s fangs.
• Yun Long seized the opening and fired his rule cannon at Jialan, triggering a powerful explosion across the battlefield.

The Sun God fought Morati on the Land of Exile battlefield, where Naige'er arrived and unleashed the T-Virus against the Stark Pantheon. Naige'er asked the Sun God to help him seize Morati's Bronze Mask, and the Sun God agreed in exchange for the remaining spoils.

• The chapter described the Stark Pantheon's mask-centered customs and revealed that Morati wore its remaining mask-type Civilization Supreme Treasure, the Bronze Mask.
• The Sun God attacked Morati with the Sun God Spear and Sky Curtain Hammer, leaving the Stark leader battered despite his mask's enhancement.
• Naige'er arrived with the One-Eyed Demon Ancestor Corpse Puppet, and the Stark main gods attacked the terrifying construct.
• Naige'er retaliated by unleashing the T-Virus across the battlefield, infecting enemy forces and many low- and mid-level Mani God System creatures.
• Naige'er asked the Sun God to help him seize Morati's Bronze Mask and offered him the other spoils, including Morati's divine spark; the Sun God accepted.

The Stark Pantheon’s war ended after Naige'er’s interest in the Bronze Mask brought the Wizard Civilization’s power to bear, while conflicts across the Land of Exile intensified. Lisa’s Zerg Swarm clashed with the Gegentis Queen Worm’s vast hordes, and Nasi Xiu and the Buddhist saints arrived as reinforcements.

• Naige'er’s curiosity about the Bronze Mask brought the Stark Pantheon’s campaign on the Dimensional Battlefield to an end.

• Lisa’s more elite Starry Sky Zerg collided with the Gegentis Queen Worm’s vastly numerous and resilient swarm, leaving the outcome uncertain.
• Nasi Xiu arrived with reinforcements, followed by Tathagata Buddha, Dipamkara Buddha, and other Buddhist saints.

The Buddhist Sect and Nasi Xiu eased the pressure on the Blade Empress, while Celestial Venerable Han Li confronted the Lord of Flame Demon. The chapter then shifted to Level-3 Sky Knight Leisio, a participant in the Wizard Civilization’s Prodigy Plan, fighting in the vast battlefield beneath a colossal tree.

• Dipamkara Buddha and the Buddhist Sect army joined Nasi Xiu in relieving pressure on the Blade Empress as she focused on the Gegentis Queen Worm.
• Celestial Venerable Han Li changed targets after learning that Saine and other Wizard Civilization experts had turned the Neutron Star, and he moved to confront the Lord of Flame Demon.
