Chapter Summaries

Destruction Demon God Locke and the assembled Level-12 practitioners punished Duolie for trying to seize the battlefield’s Spoils of War, trapping and severing his Hand of Rules. Duolie withdrew in pain, permanently losing some of his Origin Power, while the spoils remained with the defenders.

• Despair Matriarch Ilena reinforced the Space-Time barriers as Locke and the other Level-12 practitioners surrounded Duolie’s boundary-crossing hand.
• Jin Yi and Edgar joined the assault, and their attacks inflicted severe damage on Duolie’s Hand of Rules.
• Locke pierced Duolie’s defenses with the God Slaying Spear, froze the hand with Ilena’s help, and hacked it off with his Bone Blade.
• Locke’s Destruction Rule particles eroded the severed hand’s Origin Power, making Duolie’s loss difficult to reverse.
• Duolie’s aura faded from the time-space vortex, and he abandoned the battlefield rather than risk descending to fight again.

Ebony of the Darkness Sword Organization descended to seize the Ancestor of Eternal Fire’s Rule Heart Core, expecting Duolie to distract Locke and the others, but Duolie retreated before Ebony could exploit the battle. Saine had anticipated Ebony’s plan and secretly accumulated power, leaving him ready to confront Ebony.

• After Duolie retreated, Ebony’s Darkness Power appeared at the edge of the battlefield, and Saine identified him as a Level-13 Mid-Stage practitioner of the Darkness Sword Organization.
• Ebony had planned to use Duolie’s attack to distract Locke and the others, then take advantage of the chaos and claim the spoils.
• Duolie’s hand was severed, and he fled instead of descending to fight, leaving Ebony exposed before Locke and the others.
• Ebony descended with his Rule True Body and moved toward the Ancestor of Eternal Fire’s Level-12 Peak Origin Rule Heart Core.
• Saine remained beside the Rule Heart Core and used Cube Time-Space to draw out its Source Power of Rules while secretly preparing to strike Ebony.

Saine intercepted Ebony as he tried to seize the Level-12 Rule Heart Core, leaving him exposed to a coordinated assault by Locke and the Destruction Divine Kingdom’s allies. Ilena secured the core and Saine claimed the Sky Burning Staff, while Ebony remained trapped in the siege with retreat on his mind.

• While Ebony was occupied defending against Locke and Kakarot, Saine seized the Sky Burning Staff.
• Ebony considered retreating after losing his chance at the core and staff, but remained surrounded by the Destruction Divine Kingdom’s forces.

Darkness Sword Ebony fought the Destruction Divine Kingdom's forces for half a year before the arrival of the Limitless Golden Emperor convinced him to retreat. He exploited Sword Demon's vulnerable position to break through the encirclement and escape.

• Despair Matriarch intervened to protect Sword Demon, creating a brief gap in the frozen space and time.
• Ebony abandoned his attack on Sword Demon and slipped out between Sword Demon's and Jin Yi's positions.

Darkness Sword Ebony escaped after half a year of fighting the Destruction Divine Kingdom, while Destruction Demon God Locke and his allies concealed their exhaustion and let him go rather than risk a costly battle. With the Dimension Lord conflict ended, Locke’s faction could turn its attention to finishing the war against the Crimson Flame Civilization.

• Darkness Sword Ebony fled through a gap in the encirclement after being intimidated by the Destruction Divine Kingdom’s display of strength.

• Locke weighed the costs of continued conflict against Ebony and the possibility that Limitless Golden Emperor and the Lord of Eternal Day would benefit from it.
• The Destruction Divine Kingdom’s forces prepared to finish the weakened Crimson Flame Civilization, whose remaining defenders included Crimson Flame Fire God and Fire Phoenix.
• Locke, Mechanical God King Saine, Sword Demon, and the other Level-12 practitioners launched attacks at Ebony as he escaped, ending the half-year battle.

After Ebony escaped the battlefield, Locke offered the Limitless Golden Emperor a choice of spoils for his aid. The Limitless Golden Emperor chose the Fire Phoenix, killed him, and took his Phoenix Heart.

• The Limitless Golden Emperor struck Ebony with a full-force attack, but Ebony escaped, and Locke decided not to pursue him.

• The Limitless Golden Emperor attacked the wounded Fire Phoenix with a golden sword and fatally pierced him.
• The Limitless Golden Emperor pulled the Fire Phoenix's heart from his chest, and the Fire Phoenix's body fell toward the collapsing star region.

The Limitless Golden Emperor killed the severely wounded Fire Phoenix and claimed his Phoenix Heart as the Destruction Divine Kingdom’s forces collected the remaining spoils. Saine left the Ancestor of Eternal Fire’s unshared treasures untouched and joined the encirclement of the Crimson Flame Fire God, whose defeat would end the resistance.

• The Limitless Golden Emperor killed the Fire Phoenix and took his Phoenix Heart, while the other fighters collected the scattered treasures and resources.

• The forces tightened their encirclement as the final battle against the Crimson Flame Civilization entered its closing stage.

• The Scarlet Flame Fire God tried to detonate the Sacred Flame and his Source Fire, but Ilena's time-space freeze prevented his self-destruction.
• After nearly two hundred years, the Scarlet Flame Fire God's life aura faded, and Saine gazed entranced at the Sacred Flame preserved above the frozen battlefield.

Saine reflected on Sacred Flame and the Destruction Divine Kingdom’s gains as the five-thousand-year war in the Crimson Flame Star District ended. With the region’s aftermath left to the invading powers, Saine prepared to return to Gear Time-Space, where new threats and a possible major conflict awaited.

• Saine recognized that Sacred Flame offered greater value to him than the other spoils of war, while Destruction Demon God Locke’s support had helped him rise.
• The Destruction Divine Kingdom and its allies eliminated Crimson Flame Fire God and the remaining Flame Creatures, ending the war in the Crimson Flame Star District.
• The defeated Crimson Flame Civilization’s territories and affiliated civilizations became targets for conquest, forcing surviving civilizations to seek protection or surrender to invaders.
• Saine learned that Heavenly Wing Demon Lord had returned to Gear Time-Space as a Level-12 Mid-Stage being and appeared to have company.
• As Evil Swamp Time-Space increased its involvement and tensions threatened to erupt into war, Saine prepared to return to Gear Time-Space to lead the Mechanical Civilization’s Main Camp.

After the Crimson Flame Civilization was defeated, Saine prepared to settle the war spoils with Locke and the other leaders of the Destruction Divine Kingdom. The meeting ended on an unexpected offer: Locke proposed giving Saine both captured Dimension Supreme Treasures, the Sacred Flame and the Sky Burning Staff.

• Saine monitored the Mechanical Civilization's bases across three dimensional time-spaces and planned to return to Gear Time-Space to oversee its defenses.
• The Limitless Golden Emperor praised his alliance with the Destruction Divine Kingdom, then led Edgar and the Limitless Time-Space Legion away from the conquered Crimson Flame Star District.

• Locke, Ilena, Sword Demon, Kakarot, and Saine gathered for a high-level meeting outside the Crimson Flame Civilization's ruined homeworld.
• Locke offered Saine both captured Dimension Supreme Treasures, the Sacred Flame and the Sky Burning Staff.

Saine and Destruction Demon God Locke negotiated the distribution of spoils from the Crimson Flame Star District war, with Saine receiving two Dimension Supreme Treasures and access to study the Ancestor of Eternal Fire’s Rule Heart Core. Saine agreed to keep the core at the Destruction Divine Kingdom’s main camp and offered resources and future concessions in return, strengthening his alliance with Locke.

• Locke assigned Sacred Flame and the Sky Burning Staff to Saine, who accepted the two Dimension Supreme Treasures.
• Locke claimed the Ancestor of Eternal Fire’s Level-12 Peak Rule Heart Core for his own advancement and allowed Saine to study some of its Rule Fragments.
• Locke warned Saine not to remove the Rule Heart Core from the Destruction Divine Kingdom’s main camp, and Saine agreed.

• Saine promised trade concessions to Locke’s faction to repay its goodwill and reinforce their alliance.

Saine and the Sword Demon joined the Destruction Divine Kingdom’s leadership as its fourth and fifth giants, while Saine gained valuable spoils and learned of Locke’s plan to reach Level 13. The chapter ended with the prospect of a far larger war in Light Universe Time-Space, which Locke believed could supply the power needed for his advancement.

• Locke invited Saine to become a giant, and Saine accepted the fourth position to preserve Kakarot’s status as one of the original three.
• The Sword Demon pledged his loyalty to Locke and became the Destruction Divine Kingdom’s fifth giant.
• Saine stayed out of the leadership’s internal deliberations and received Sacred Flame, the Sky Burning Staff, and numerous valuable resources from the spoils.
• Locke revealed that he still lacked the Destruction Factors needed to reach Level 13 and estimated that continued warfare might let him advance after about a hundred thousand years.
• Locke explained that a larger, more brutal war could speed up his advancement, and the giants recognized that Light Universe Time-Space faced further conflict.

After the high-level meeting, Saine considered the escalating war in Light Universe Time-Space and discussed possible paths for Locke’s advancement. He then set out for the Light Armor Civilization to harvest Zheng Fei, a Child of Dimension, after notifying Madam Befu and the Light God Race.

• Saine concluded that the Light Universe Time-Space war would continue to escalate and that the fallen Ancestor of Eternal Fire would not be its last Level-12 casualty.
• Saine suggested that Evil Swamp Time-Space and wind-element Rule Treasures might offer Locke alternative help in advancing, and Locke agreed to consider the possibilities.
• Saine decided Zheng Fei had outgrown his usefulness as a planted seed and planned to take the Child of Dimension’s blessing power for his own purposes.
• Saine dispatched the Mechanical Civilization’s main legion toward Gear Time-Space and led the God of Machines, Lord of Green Cang Mountain, and other trusted members toward the Light Armor Civilization.
• Saine notified Madam Befu and the Light God Race that he was moving against the Light Armor Civilization.

Saine descended on the Light Armor Star District, accused Zheng Fei of betraying Light Universe Time-Space to Bewilderment Time-Space, and moved to capture him. Zheng Fei appeared to defend himself, but Saine swiftly suppressed and sealed him, leaving the watching civilizations unable to intervene.

• Saine arrived in the Light Armor Star District and publicly accused Zheng Fei of selling secrets and cooperating with Bewilderment Time-Space.
• The Light Armor Civilization’s officials contacted Saine to ask whether Zheng Fei had been framed, while many witnesses struggled to believe the accusation.
• Zheng Fei appeared before Saine and protested that the charges were false, asking Saine to investigate.
• Saine struck Zheng Fei with his mechanical hand, suppressed him, and sealed his power and voice beneath his palm.
• Saine realized Zheng Fei had offered no resistance and that the capture had gone far more easily than he expected.

Saine captured Zheng Fei and launched a controlled purge of the Light Armor Civilization, while testing whether the accusation of treason would weaken Zheng Fei’s standing with the Light Universe Time-Space Will. After Bewilderment Time-Space publicly named the Light Armor Civilization as an ally and other civilizations turned against it, Saine discovered Zheng Fei’s favor with the Will remained unchanged and concluded that Light Universe Time-Space was still doomed.

• Saine suppressed and imprisoned Zheng Fei, then ordered the Mechanical Civilization Legion to purge Light Armor Civilization forces while sparing other civilizations that did not intervene.
• The Light God Race, Water Mirror Civilization, and Moonlight Civilization publicly supported Saine’s campaign and accused the Light Armor Civilization of colluding with Bewilderment Time-Space.
• Salamander Grayke and the other Level-12 beings of Bewilderment Time-Space declared the Light Armor Civilization their ally and threatened retaliation against anyone who attacked it.
• Civilizations that had once supported Zheng Fei and the Light Armor Civilization turned against them, leaving the Light Armor Civilization isolated as others joined the purge.
• Saine discovered that Zheng Fei’s favor with the Light Universe Time-Space Will had not diminished, but still believed Light Universe Time-Space’s ultimate fate would not change.

Saine captured Zheng Fei and prepared to return to Gear Time-Space after learning that Agulos and allies had invaded its Mechanical Star District. He left Madam Befu in Light Universe Time-Space to manage its affairs and benefit from the shifting order, while keeping open the possibility of requesting reinforcements.

• Saine used Sacred Flame and the Sky Burning Staff to suppress and capture Zheng Fei, then sealed him for later study.
• Saine received an urgent report that Agulos had returned with allies to invade Gear Time-Space’s Mechanical Star District.
• Saine contacted Salamander Grayke and agreed to continue their mutually beneficial cooperation before arranging matters in Light Universe Time-Space.
• Destruction Demon God Locke offered the Divine Kingdom’s support and promised he might personally join the fight if Saine needed help.
• Saine set off for Gear Time-Space with the Mechanical Civilization Legion, while Madam Befu stayed behind to coordinate affairs in Light Universe Time-Space.

Saine returned to Gear Time-Space and discovered that Agulos had redirected the Evil Swamp Time-Space assault from the weakened Mechanical Civilization to the Qihuang Castle Civilization. As the Qihuang Castle Civilization faced a siege by three Level-12 Strong Practitioners, Saine led his army to reinforce them and requested additional troops from Eternal Day Time-Space.

• Saine returned to Gear Time-Space with the Mechanical Civilization Army and found that the Evil Swamp Time-Space Legion had stopped its attacks on the Mechanical Star District.
• The Heavenly Wing Demon Lord had manipulated Agulos into targeting the Qihuang Castle Civilization by suggesting it was vulnerable and offering to help attack it.

• Saine received an urgent plea for aid from the besieged Qihuang Castle Civilization and decided to lead the Mechanical Civilization Army to reinforce it.
• Saine told the Qihuang Castle Civilization to hold its defensive line and requested additional Level-10 and Level-11 reinforcements from Eternal Day Time-Space.

Saine brought the Mechanical Civilization Legion to aid Qihuang Castle Civilization and launched an attack against the Evil Swamp Time-Space Legion. The Hunchbacked Old Man, Jiang Qi, coveted Saine’s Mechanical God Rule True Body, while Saine began the battle without delay.

• Eternal Day Time-Space agreed to Saine’s request for aid, and Saine hoped to end the coming battle quickly because he and Cube Time-Space were depleted.
• Saine arrived at the border of the Qihuang Castle Civilization Star Zone, where Agulos, Heavenly Wing Demon Lord, and Jiang Qi observed his arrival.
• Jiang Qi praised Saine’s Mechanical God Rule True Body and suggested capturing it, but Heavenly Wing Demon Lord ignored him because he knew Saine was powerful and had a secret agreement with him.
• The chapter explained that Jiang Qi was an outsider from the Star Realm who had risen to Level-12 Mid-Stage and joined the battlefield for compensation and Gear Time-Space spoils.
• Saine unleashed the power of his Mechanical God Rule True Body as his Mechanical Civilization Legion deployed and launched an all-out assault on the Evil Swamp Time-Space Legion.

Mechanical God Emperor Saine joined the defense of the Qihuang Castle Civilization and used Sacred Flame and the Magic Cube to empower his Mechanical God Rule True Body. His strength reached Level-12 Late-Stage, shocking Agulos, Jiang Qi, and Heavenly Wing Demon Lord as Saine struck at Agulos.

• Saine led the Mechanical Civilization Legion to reinforce the Qihuang Castle Civilization, while beings from the Gear Clockwork Civilization also joined the battle.
• Agulos asked Jiang Qi to help him fight Saine, but Heavenly Wing Demon Lord held back after the reinforcements arrived.
• Agulos charged Saine and realized that Saine's Mechanical God Rule True Body had grown more powerful since their last fight.
• Saine used Sacred Flame and the Magic Cube to strengthen his true body, covering it in White Flame and raising his power to Level-12 Late-Stage.
• Saine brought his flaming metal palm down toward Agulos, while Jiang Qi halted his prepared intervention and Heavenly Wing Demon Lord was relieved he had not joined the fight.

Saine’s power, amplified by Sacred Flame, overwhelmed Agulos and shattered Jiang Qi’s assumptions about Mechanical Civilization’s strength. Qihuang Castle Civilization launched a counterattack, while the Heavenly Wing Demon Lord avoided Saine and pursued his own interests as the war settled into a prolonged stalemate.

• Saine fused with Sacred Flame’s power and used his Mechanical God Rule True Body to suppress Agulos, shocking Jiang Qi and the Heavenly Wing Demon Lord.
• Jiang Qi questioned whether the Heavenly Wing Demon Lord had identified the right opponent, as Saine’s strength far exceeded Agulos’s claims about Mechanical Civilization.
• Qihuang Castle Civilization’s Giant Castle Beings surged from their home sector and counterattacked Evil Swamp Time-Space’s expeditionary army.
• Thomas joined Qihuang Castle Civilization’s defense, and the Heavenly Wing Demon Lord moved toward him instead of helping Agulos fight Saine.
• The Heavenly Wing Demon Lord planned to avoid a decisive battle and profit from the prolonged war through his dealings with Saine.
