• Saine compared Hongjun's Jade Pill Art with Duan Ning's Golden Core Great Dao and considered the benefits an alliance with Hongjun could bring to Locke's faction.

The war in Light Universe Time-Space escalated as rival factions continued plundering its resources and clashing across the battlefield. Mechanical God Emperor Saine watched from Gear Time-Space until the Bewilderment Behemoth broke free and charged toward the battle between Destruction Demon God Locke and the other Lords of Dimension.

• The fighting between the Lords of Dimension spread into a full-scale war among their legions across Light Universe Time-Space.
• Light Universe Time-Space lost much of its foundation to invading factions, while Destruction Demon God Locke and Dark Nether Death God grew stronger from the war.
• Mechanical God Emperor Saine reflected on the immense wealth of Higher Dimensional Planes and considered Gear Time-Space's advantages under his influence.
• The Bewilderment Behemoth broke free from its restraints in an occupied star region of Qisha Time-Space and devoured nearby beings, matter, and Rule Fragments.
• The Bewilderment Behemoth charged toward the battlefield where Destruction Demon God Locke and the other Lords of Dimension were fighting.

The Bewilderment Behemoth stormed into the battlefield to reclaim its stolen treasure from Dao Ancestor Hongjun and attacked every faction indiscriminately. Locke, Hongjun, the Dark Nether Death God, and the other Lords of Dimension joined forces against it, leaving the behemoth wounded but the battlefield in further turmoil.

• The Bewilderment Behemoth reached the central battlefield, focused on Dao Ancestor Hongjun, and unleashed a devastating attack against all combatants.
• Despair Matriarch Ilena, Locke, and Hongjun raised defenses with the Destruction Black Lotus and Chaos Green Lotus while the Dark Nether Death God and other Lords of Dimension protected themselves.
• The behemoth attacked Locke, Hongjun, and the Dark Nether Death God; Locke transformed, Super Saiyan Kakarot charged into its maw, and Hongjun struck it with a giant Rule Sword.
• The Dark Nether Death God and the other four Lords of Dimension counterattacked the behemoth, setting aside their battles against one another.
• The combined assault wounded the Bewilderment Behemoth and destabilized its aura as the battlefield’s time-space fractured further.

The Bewilderment Behemoth withdrew after the assembled Lords of Dimension wounded it, and Destruction Demon God Locke immediately attacked Dark Nether Death God, reigniting their war. Dao Ancestor Hongjun gave Kakarot a jade pill that restored and strengthened him, leaving the battlefield wary of his rising power.

• The Lords of Dimension joined forces to assault the Bewilderment Behemoth until it regained its reason and began retreating.
• As the Behemoth withdrew, Destruction Demon God Locke stabbed Dark Nether Death God with the God Slaying Spear, grievously wounding him and ending the temporary alliance.
• Kakarot emerged from the Behemoth's black-hole maw after attacking it from within, still fighting fiercely despite his somewhat disordered aura.
• Dao Ancestor Hongjun offered Kakarot a jade pill, and Locke approved of Kakarot accepting it.
• The jade pill restored Kakarot's reserves and injuries, raised his aura, and drew wary attention from the Behemoth and Dark Nether Death God.

Kakarot began transforming after consuming Dao Ancestor Hongjun’s jade pellet, while the major factions paused their fighting and Destruction Demon God Locke prepared to leave with Hongjun. The Bewilderment Behemoth blocked their departure over its stolen Chaos Treasure Orb, and Locke denied possessing it after Hongjun silently acknowledged the secret.

• Kakarot’s power began an unprecedented transformation, and he turned his fighting spirit toward the injured Dark Nether Death God as the battlefield fell into a tense lull.
• Salamander Grayke contacted two other Level-12 experts from Bewilderment Time-Space, and the three rushed to the Light Universe Time-Space battlefield.
• Destruction Demon God Locke signaled his allies to withdraw after Dao Ancestor Hongjun had safely joined him, but the Bewilderment Behemoth fixed its hostility on Hongjun and stopped them from leaving.
• Salamander Grayke arrived and secretly told Locke that the Bewilderment Behemoth wanted its Chaos Treasure Orb back.
• Locke asked Hongjun about the orb, received an almost imperceptible nod, and then told Salamander Grayke that he knew nothing of it and did not possess it.

Destruction Demon God Locke refused Salamander Grayke’s mediation, protected Dao Ancestor Hongjun, and prevented Dark Nether Death God’s group from leaving while the Bewilderment Behemoth remained furious. As the battlefield stayed deadlocked and war intensified across the Light Universe Time-Space, Hongjun revealed the Chaos Treasure Orb, causing the Bewilderment Behemoth to halt and a powerful ancient aura to spread.

• Salamander Grayke failed to calm the Bewilderment Behemoth after Locke rejected his attempt to mediate.
• Dark Nether Death God, Darkness Sword Ebony, and Duolie tried to withdraw, but Locke attacked and forced them to remain on the battlefield.
• Dark Nether Death God’s group considered allying with the Bewilderment Behemoth, but its confusion and grudge over their earlier attack made an alliance impossible.
• The major factions remained in a tense stalemate as battles across the Light Universe Time-Space intensified and Locke absorbed the resulting Destruction Rule power.
• Hongjun raised his hand and revealed the Chaos Treasure Orb, making the Bewilderment Behemoth stop as an ancient, oppressive aura swept across the battlefield.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun activated the Chaos Treasure Orb, whose aura of Chaos and Great God Pan Gu frightened the Bewilderment Behemoth into fleeing the battlefield. The other Lords of Dimension coveted the orb, and Destruction Demon God Locke was left to choose Ebony as its first potential target after Dark Nether Death God retreated.

• Destruction Demon God Locke sensed Pan Gu’s familiar aura in the Chaos Treasure Orb and recalled the immense power of Great God Pan Gu.
• The Bewilderment Behemoth reacted in terror to the orb’s power and fled the battlefield, abandoning Salamander Gray Guest and its other followers.
• Dark Nether Death God, Ebony, Duolie, and the other Lords of Dimension sensed the orb’s threat and coveted its power.
• Dao Ancestor Hongjun explained that he had only partially refined the orb, then asked Destruction Demon God Locke to choose a target for it.
• Destruction Demon God Locke initially considered Dark Nether Death God, but Dark Nether Death God retreated, leaving Ebony closest to them.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun attacked Darkness Sword Ebony with the Chaos Treasure Orb, whose chaos light overwhelmed Ebony’s defenses and pursued him as he fled. Ebony escaped by sacrificing three Rule Avatars belonging to a subordinate, but the Bat Person and his remaining avatars suffered a terrible backlash, leaving Ebony with an ominous feeling.

• Destruction Demon God Locke identified Darkness Sword Ebony as the target, and Dao Ancestor Hongjun joined the attack with the Chaos Treasure Orb.
• The orb’s chaos light melted Ebony’s darkness Rule Barrier and relentlessly tracked him as he tried to escape.
• Dark Nether Death God, Duolie, and the other Lords of Dimension watched Hongjun’s attack and coveted the Chaos Treasure Orb.
• A Level-12 Bat Person used three of his Rule Avatars to shield Ebony, allowing Ebony to break free of the orb’s lock.
• The chaos light erased the three avatars, and the Bat Person and his remaining avatars screamed in agony as an ominous feeling rose in Ebony’s heart.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun’s Chaos Treasure Orb left Ebony’s Level-12 Bat Person dying as Chaos Power eroded his life source, while Ebony’s restorative darkness power only held the damage at bay. As Locke attacked the distracted Ebony, he asked the Despair Matriarch whether the orb could connect them to the Material Star Realm.

• Hongjun’s Chaos strike pierced the Bat Person’s Rule Avatars and caused Chaos Fire to erode his rules and life source.
• The Bat Person begged Ebony for help, and Ebony used darkness-origin power to stabilize him without stopping the Chaos damage.
• Locke’s forces seized Ebony’s distraction and Locke charged at him, hoping to exploit the chance to kill the Bat Person.
• Locke noticed ancient rule auras from the Chaos Treasure Orb and asked the Despair Matriarch whether it could connect them to the Material Star Realm.

The Despair Matriarch admitted she had no clear way to use the Chaos Treasure Orb to reach the Material Star Realm and suggested Locke bring Saine in to study it. On the battlefield, Hongjun and Kakarot cornered the near-defeated Bat Person while Locke and the Despair Matriarch kept Ebony occupied, and Kakarot’s assault left the Bat Person with almost no hope of survival.

• The Despair Matriarch said she could not yet explain how to use the Chaos Treasure Orb to contact the Material Star Realm and proposed that Locke summon Saine to examine it.
• The Limitless Golden Emperor joined the battle near the Dark Nether Death God, watching Hongjun’s strength and the badly injured Bat Person with alarm and relief.
• Locke and the Despair Matriarch pinned Ebony down while Hongjun attacked the Bat Person with a barrage of rule swords.
• At Locke’s order, Kakarot joined Hongjun and smashed the Bat Person’s Rule Avatars one after another with overwhelming force.
• Kakarot struck another of the Bat Person’s true bodies, and even Hongjun looked on in astonishment at the power of his attacks.

Destruction Demon God Locke and the Despair Matriarch kept Darkness Sword Ebony from rescuing his dying subordinate, while Super Saiyan Kakarot battered the Level-12 Bat Person. When the Bat Person tried to flee, Dao Ancestor Hongjun prepared the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation to stop him.

• Locke and the Despair Matriarch pinned Ebony in battle as Kakarot shattered the Bat Person’s Rule Avatars, whose injuries were spreading from Hongjun’s Chaos Rule Light pillar.
• Ebony urged the desperate Bat Person to escape to Darkness Sword Time-Space, promising to seek a way to save him from the Chaos corrosion.
• The Bat Person unleashed his remaining power and sent his surviving Rule True Bodies fleeing in different directions, eluding Kakarot’s attempts to intercept them all.
• Locke prepared to ask the Despair Matriarch to help Kakarot, but Hongjun moved to block the Bat Person’s escape.
• Hongjun split his Jade Sword into four and began forming the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun trapped the Level-12 Bat Person in his Immortal Slaying Sword Formation while Super Saiyan Kakarot destroyed its Rule Avatars. After Hongjun sensed no remaining consciousness on the battlefield, he confirmed the Bat Person’s local avatars had fallen, though he could not tell whether any remained elsewhere.

• Dao Ancestor Hongjun deployed his Rule Jade Swords and Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, sealing the Level-12 Bat Person inside and astonishing the observing Lords of Dimension.
• The Limitless Golden Emperor, impressed by Hongjun’s power, fought the Dark Nether Death God with renewed determination and considered pursuing a breakthrough to Level-13 Mid-Stage.
• Mechanical God Emperor Saine received Madam Befu’s reports about the battle and considered returning to the Light Universe Time-Space.
• Hongjun’s formation restrained the Bat Person’s Rule True Body while Super Saiyan Kakarot smashed its wounded Rule Avatars, and the Bat Person’s remaining bodies were destroyed after several hundred years.
• Hongjun kept the formation active and searched with the Rule Will of the Heavenly Dao until he detected no further fluctuations of the Bat Person’s consciousness on the battlefield.

After the Bat Person lost nearly all his Rule Avatars, Ebony brought his two surviving avatars back to Darkness Sword Time-Space and tried to save them from the Chaos Power’s erosion. His efforts failed to stop the damage, leaving Ebony to choose between losing his Level-12 general and draining the already depleted origin of his realm.

• The Bat Person’s two remaining Rule Avatars escaped Primordial Universe Time-Space through a Dimensional Passage opened by Ebony.
• After they returned to Darkness Sword Time-Space, the Chaos Power continued eroding them even more intensely.
• Ebony realized how powerful the Chaos Treasure Orb’s rule-based attacks were and grew greedy for it.
• Ebony poured Darkness Sword Time-Space’s Origin Power into the Bat Person’s avatars, restoring some energy but failing to halt the Chaos Power.
• Ebony faced the choice of letting the avatars perish or continually spending his realm’s limited origin to keep them alive.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun and Super Saiyan Kakarot destroyed the Level-12 Bat Person’s Rule True Body, while Destruction Demon God Locke taunted Ebony over whether he would save his subordinate’s surviving avatars. Ebony publicly vowed to restore the Bat Person, and Locke was left wary of Hongjun’s Chaos Treasure Orb and the power of Great God Pan Gu.

• Dao Ancestor Hongjun and Super Saiyan Kakarot joined forces to destroy the Level-12 Bat Person’s Rule True Body, and Hongjun withdrew the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation.
• Destruction Demon God Locke and the Despair Matriarch continued to suppress Ebony, preventing him from rescuing the Bat Person during the battle.
• Locke publicly challenged Ebony to spend Darkness Sword Time-Space Origin saving the Bat Person’s few surviving Rule Avatars.
• Ebony declared that he would do everything in his power to save the Bat Person and restore him to his prime.
• Locke suspected that Ebony might abandon the Bat Person if saving him threatened Ebony’s interests or the foundation of Darkness Sword Time-Space.
• Locke reflected on the Chaos Treasure Orb’s corrosive power and sensed Great God Pan Gu’s immense aura within it.

After Dao Ancestor Hongjun and Kakarot helped cripple the Level-12 Bat Person, Ebony withdrew rather than continue fighting Destruction Demon God Locke's faction. The battlefield melee ended for the moment, leaving Locke eager to catch up with Hongjun and discuss communication between higher and lower dimensions.

• Dao Ancestor Hongjun and Kakarot joined forces to destroy most of the Level-12 Bat Person's Rule Avatars and seize its two Dimension Supreme Treasures.
• Kakarot and Hongjun arrived at Locke's battlefield, further undermining Ebony's confidence after the Darkness Sword Organization had paid a heavy price to preserve the Bat Person's backup Rule True Bodies.
• Ebony abandoned the fight, facing the loss of a powerful subordinate and the resulting damage to the Darkness Sword Organization's territory and strategic plans.
• Locke chose not to pursue Ebony because his own and Kakarot's power had been depleted, and they could not reliably threaten the Level-13 Lord of Dimension.
• As the gathered Lords of Dimensional Planes began to leave, Locke looked forward to speaking with Hongjun about their experiences and opening communication between higher and lower dimensions.

The battle on the Light Universe Time-Space Battlefield subsided as the opposing Lords of Dimension withdrew, and Dao Ancestor Hongjun reunited with Destruction Demon God Locke. At the Destruction Divine Kingdom’s Main Camp, Hongjun bestowed treasures on Immortal Domain cultivators and told Locke that opening passage between Higher and Lower Dimensional Planes would require the combined efforts of their civilizations.

• Ebony withdrew the Darkness Sword Organization’s forces, and the Dark Nether Death God and Duolie also left the battlefield as the Limitless Golden Emperor and the Lord of Eternal Day let them go.
• Destruction Demon God Locke and his allies regrouped with Dao Ancestor Hongjun, while the Bewilderment Giant Beast withdrew to join Salamander Gray and other Delusional Time-Space creatures.
• Salamander Gray and the others explained the battlefield’s alliances and urged the Bewilderment Giant Beast to keep a low profile, and it listened and agreed to restrain itself.
• Hongjun accepted Locke’s invitation to the Destruction Divine Kingdom’s Main Camp and bestowed powerful treasures on Locke’s wives, daughters, and other Immortal Domain Cultivators.
• Locke asked how to connect Higher and Lower Dimensional Planes, and Hongjun said the two civilizations would need to work together.

Locke and Dao Ancestor Hongjun discussed why the Immortal Domain and Wizard Civilization would eventually need to pursue Dimensional Hegemony together, while Sai En returned to the Light Universe battlefield and exchanged knowledge with Hongjun. The battlefield remained superficially calm as the balance of power shifted, and Sai En arranged for Duan Ning to seek Hongjun’s guidance in alchemy.

• Hongjun explained that linking lower and higher dimensions required the combined efforts of a top-level civilization and powerful beings already in the Higher Dimension, and he judged that the Immortal Domain might begin Dimensional Hegemony before the Wizard Civilization.
• Locke and Hongjun discussed Great God Pan Gu, their cultivation insights, and their hopes of advancing toward the Level-13 Lord of Dimension realm.
• After a fierce battle left the Light Universe battlefield temporarily calm, Hongjun strengthened the Destruction Divine Kingdom Faction, while the Bewilderment Behemoth appeared and the Darkness Sword Organization lost a Level-12 Being.
• Sai En resolved affairs in Gear Time-Space and returned to the battlefield, where he studied the Rule Materials and held discussions with Hongjun about rules and cultivation.
• Sai En used accelerated time in Cube Time-Space to help his children mature, while Ashar, Lilith, and Locke’s other mage wives listened to Hongjun and Sai En discuss the Dao.
• Sai En invited Duan Ning to the battlefield so she could seek Hongjun’s guidance in alchemy.

Saine discussed the mysteries of other time-spaces and his Heart of Dimension Magic Necklace with Dao Ancestor Hongjun, who revealed a similar treasure of his own. Saine realized the Dao Heavenly Jade Pendant had let Hongjun travel unseen through hostile dimensions and wondered whether his necklace could grant him the same advantage.

• Saine and Dao Ancestor Hongjun exchanged insights, while Locke grew more resolute and continued drawing on the Power of Destruction to advance.
• Saine told Dao Ancestor Hongjun that Evil Swamp Time-Space had more than ten native Level-12 Strong Practitioners, prompting Hongjun to consider its unknown source and possible power.
• Saine explained how he had created the Heart of Dimension Magic Necklace and let his wives use it to aid their cultivation and unborn descendants.
• Dao Ancestor Hongjun showed Saine the Dao Heavenly Jade Pendant, explaining that it harmonized him with a dimension's Origin Will and concealed his travels.
• Saine understood how Hongjun had evaded the Limitless Golden Emperor and wondered whether his own necklace could protect him in hostile time-spaces.

Saine exchanged insights and treasures with Dao Ancestor Hongjun before returning to Gear Time-Space to oversee its defenses. He found the battlefield largely unchanged, with Thomas and Alarm Clock Girl having kept the invasion at bay.

• Saine assessed how his Heart of Dimension Magic Necklace could conceal him from a foreign Time-Space Will and compared its power with Hongjun's Dao Heavenly Jade Pendant.
• Hongjun shared guidance with Duan Ning and other Immortal Domain cultivators, while Sword Demon asked to become his disciple and was instead offered instruction and sparring.
• Saine traded for spiritual materials and treasures, then left Light Universe Time-Space because Hongjun needed seclusion and Gear Time-Space remained strategically important.
• Saine returned to Gear Time-Space after one or two thousand years had passed there and found that no major battles or changes had occurred.
• Thomas and Alarm Clock Girl had maintained Gear Time-Space's defenses and repelled the Evil Swamp invasion during Saine's absence.

Saine used a lull in the Gear Time-Space war to study Truth Arcana and spend time with his family while both he and Locke continued growing stronger. In Light Universe Time-Space, the Light God Race gained influence after its counteroffensive, and the Jade Vine Tree approached a Level-12 breakthrough.

• Saine resumed his research, monitored the war, and named his newborn children while the front remained mostly limited to level-11 clashes.
• The Heavenly Wing Demon Lord and Gear Time-Space’s other strong practitioners benefited from the reduced fighting, though Agulos remained a possible threat to the fragile balance.
• The Darkness Sword Organization abandoned nearly one-fifth of its territory, allowing the Destruction Divine Kingdom, Eternal Day Time-Space, Limitless Time-Space, and the Light God Race to reclaim or occupy star domains.
• The Creation God led a counteroffensive that restored territory and raised the Light God Race’s standing, while Bing Xin and the Water Mirror Civilization supported its campaign.
• The Jade Vine Tree became the much-discussed candidate for the next Level-12 breakthrough in Light Universe Time-Space.
