Chapter Summaries

Saine learned that the Jade Vine Tree was preparing to advance to Level-12, despite the danger that the Light God Race and the Destruction Divine Kingdom might target it and the Green Vine Civilization. As rival forces and other powerful beings also prepared for advancement, the chapter left the Jade Vine Tree’s fate uncertain while Saine kept the Pure World White Lotus away from Light Universe Time-Space.

• The Jade Vine Tree pursued Level-12 advancement to strengthen Light Universe Time-Space, even though it risked suppression and attack from hostile powers.
• Madam Befu told Saine about the Jade Vine Tree’s imminent advancement, and Saine anticipated new turmoil in Light Universe Time-Space.

• Saine kept the Pure World White Lotus, who was connected to the Green Vine Civilization, by his side to prevent her from returning to Light Universe Time-Space.
• Other factions and civilizations also had Level-11 Peak Beings preparing for Level-12 advancement, while the Destruction Divine Kingdom continued benefiting from its wartime partnership with Primordial Universe Time-Space civilizations.

The Jade Vine Tree advanced to Level-12 after the Green Vine Civilization spent vast resources and sacrificed countless Plant Element Beings to support it. It led a counteroffensive against hostile forces, but the Light Universe’s major powers offered little meaningful help, leaving the Green Vine Civilization vulnerable to a grim future.

• The Green Vine Civilization nourished the Jade Vine Tree for millennia and sacrificed many of its people to help it reach Level-12.

• The Green Vine Civilization declared that it would continue following the Light God Race’s lead, despite receiving little more than token military support from it and other native powers.
• Observers recognized that the Green Vine Civilization might face the same eventual destruction as the fallen Crimson Flame Civilization.

The Light God Race considered using other Dimensional Plane powers to eliminate the Jade Vine Tree and annex Green Vine Civilization while preserving its alliance’s reputation. Meanwhile, Dao Ancestor Hongjun cultivated in seclusion within the Destruction Divine Kingdom, and the chapter left Saine eyeing a chance to profit if the Jade Vine Tree fell into trouble.

• Fallen Angel Lucifer advised the Supreme God to use outside powers to eliminate the Jade Vine Tree and annex Green Vine Civilization without damaging the Light God Race’s reputation.
• The Light God Race chose to wait as rival forces fought, while a wider war across Light Universe Time-Space and other Dimensional Planes gathered momentum.

• Madam Befu relayed Locke’s warning about inviting Hongjun into exclusive time-spaces to Saine, who privately considered claiming a share of the spoils if the Jade Vine Tree got into trouble.

Saine considered how powerful beings could communicate across dimensional barriers, while the Light Universe battlefield entered a lull and Green Vine Civilization drew increasing hostility after the Jade Vine Tree reached Level 12. MacLaren’s victory over a Plant Element plane was cut short when a vast Destruction Storm appeared at the edge of his territory.

• Saine reflected on the distinct methods used by Dao Ancestor Hongjun and Locke to sense or communicate across dimensions, and on the hidden missions Pan Gu’s surviving Demon Gods might carry out.
• Locke’s faction identified the Jade Vine Tree’s Level-12 advancement as a major source of strength, while Qisha and Dark Universe forces grew more hostile toward Green Vine Civilization and coveted its restorative treasures.
• MacLaren, a Level-7 Dominator serving Qisha Time-Space, annihilated the Plant Element inhabitants of a medium plane with his Yellow Sand Storm.
• MacLaren felt an inexplicable unease despite his victory and continued watching the void as his legions entered the territory’s planes to plunder them.
• A pitch-black Destruction Storm arrived at the edge of MacLaren’s star territory and shattered its brief calm.

MacLaren’s victorious Qisha Time-Space army was confronted by a Destruction Divine Kingdom force led by a powerful Seven-Colored Elk Dominator, threatening to seize their gains and destroy them. The chapter also described how the Light God Race arrived after Green Vine Civilization positions fell, claiming to rescue survivors while taking control of their resources.

• A Destruction Divine Kingdom Legion descended on MacLaren’s battlefield, led by a Level-7 Seven-Colored Elk Dominator with reinforcements closing in.

• Light God Race Legions repeatedly arrived after Green Vine Civilization positions had fallen, expelled the Dark Universe and Qisha forces, and claimed to safeguard the survivors and remaining resources.
• Most Green Vine Civilization forces that received Light God Race support belonged to lineages such as the Pure World White Lotus’s factions, rather than the dominant Sky Lantern Clan.

Mechanical God Emperor Saine weighed Green Vine Civilization’s decline and the Light God Race’s ambitions while considering how the coming upheaval in Light Universe Time-Space could benefit Mechanical Civilization. He began planning to absorb allied survivors and other powerful civilizations as the conflict escalated.

• The 72nd Grade Pure World White Lotus led Divine Venerable Miao Bo, Sea Mirror Woman, and her Plant Element Legion to confront the Evil Swamp Time-Space Legion’s invasion of Gear Time-Space.
• Saine watched the White Lotus Legion depart and privately recognized that his promise to help Green Vine Civilization was a kind lie, since he believed its decline could not be reversed.
• As he examined battlefield reports from Madam Befu, Saine wondered why Jade Vine Tree had acted so rashly after reaching Level-12 and suspected there was a deeper reason.
• Saine predicted that the homeland civilizations of Light Universe Time-Space would soon be unified, while questioning whether the xenophobic Light God Race would tolerate other civilizations afterward.
• Saine began planning to exploit the coming upheaval by drawing Green Vine survivors, Earth Element Golden Wall World Cluster beings, and Water Mirror Civilization forces into Mechanical Civilization.

Mechanical God Emperor Saine planned to recruit suitable civilizations from the Light Universe Time-Space, while the conflict over the Jade Vine Civilization stalled as rival factions avoided confronting the Destruction Divine Kingdom. Locke decided to approach Salamander Grayke and entrust Bewilderment Time-Space with a role in the war.

• Saine weighed recruiting native civilizations to strengthen the Mechanical Civilization and relocating them to time-spaces under his control.
• Dark Universe Time-Space and Qisha Time-Space slowed their attacks on the Jade Vine Civilization after suffering losses to the Destruction Divine Kingdom.
• The weakened Darkness Sword Organization and the cautious rival factions left the Jade Vine war in a temporary stalemate.
• Locke chose not to intervene directly and decided to contact Salamander Grayke about involving Bewilderment Time-Space.
• Locke’s decision attracted the attention of the Light God Race and the Mechanical Civilization.

Salamander Gray Guest agreed to cooperate with Destruction Demon God Locke and other factions in attacking Green Vine Civilization, while Eternal Day Time-Space promised rewards for its destruction. Bewilderment Time-Space launched a three-sided invasion, and the Bewilderment Giant Beast arrived on the battlefield and smashed through Green Vine Civilization’s defenses.

• Destruction Demon God Locke proposed that Salamander Gray Guest help crush Green Vine Civilization in exchange for battlefield spoils and increased trade benefits.
• Yongji's Day secretly promised Destruction Divine Kingdom generous rewards if Green Vine Civilization was destroyed.
• Salamander Gray Guest, Stone Belly Spider, and Seven-tailed Lizard led their legions to encircle Green Vine Civilization after its forces had little time to recover.
• Two years into the invasion, the Bewilderment Giant Beast arrived on the frontline and struck the Green Life Great Wall, causing vast stretches of its defenses to collapse.

The Level-13 Late-Stage Bewilderment Behemoth shattered much of the Green Vine Civilization’s defensive wall, but the newly Level-12 Jade Vine Tree held its ground and began repairing the ruins. Salamander Gray Guest, Stone Belly Spider, and Seven-tailed Lizard launched a three-sided assault, leaving the Green Vine Civilization near a life-or-death crisis as the Destruction Divine Kingdom and Light God Race waited to seize its power.

• The Bewilderment Behemoth attacked the Green Life Great Wall Frontline and destroyed vast sections, killing countless Green Vine Civilization beings.
• The Jade Vine Tree sent its Rule Phantom to the frontline and resisted the Behemoth, while its core trunks endured and the damaged walls began to regenerate.
• Salamander Gray Guest ordered the Bewilderment Time-Space Legions to launch a general offensive, while Stone Belly Spider and Seven-tailed Lizard attacked the other two border territories.
• The three Bewilderment armies advanced from three sides, threatening to overwhelm the Green Vine Civilization.
• The Destruction Divine Kingdom Faction and the Light God Race watched from behind the assault, preparing to claim the Green Vine Civilization’s Source Power and territory.

The Bewilderment Behemoth rampaged through the Green Vine Civilization’s defenses while Bewilderment Time-Space forces worshipped it and profited from the war and cross-dimensional trade. Mechanical God Emperor Saine realized that the hidden costs were being borne by uninvolved civilizations that had stayed out of the conflict and trade.

• The Bewilderment Behemoth ignored its agreement with Salamander Grayke and repeatedly attacked the Green Vine Civilization’s frontline, while carefully sparing nearby Bewilderment Time-Space troops.
• Bewilderment Time-Space soldiers prayed to the Behemoth, whose growing excitement drove it to attack even more fiercely.
• Salamander Grayke and other high-level practitioners used their battlefield gains and trade profits to provide the Behemoth with its offerings.
• Cross-dimensional trade enriched Salamander Grayke, the Destruction Divine Kingdom, the Mechanical Civilization, and other participating forces.
• Mechanical God Emperor Saine concluded that uninvolved civilizations across other dimensions were silently bearing the hidden losses of the war and trade.

The chapter explained how cross-dimensional trade let Salamander Grayke and other powerful factions profit from conservative civilizations that lacked knowledge of wider markets. It then described the collapse of the Green Vine Civilization’s frontline against the invading forces of Bewilderment Time-Space, leaving its allies and countless inhabitants facing ruin.

• Salamander Grayke’s merchants bought scarce metals from the Mechanical Civilization at high prices and resold them at even higher prices to civilizations unfamiliar with cross-dimensional markets.
• The Destruction Divine Kingdom, the Mechanical Civilization, and cross-dimensional traders accumulated wealth while conservative producers and buyers suffered hidden losses.
• The chapter described how Lords of Dimension could restrain traders and protect resource stability within their time-spaces.
• Bewilderment Time-Space’s invasion devastated the Green Life Great Wall Frontline and pushed the Green Vine Civilization and its allies to the brink of destruction.
• Salamander Grayke and his partners moved closer to fulfilling their agreement with Destruction Demon God Locke as the war’s devastation promised them greater profits.

As the Green Vine Civilization’s defenses collapsed under the Bewilderment Time-Space invasion, allied civilizations weighed whether to flee or remain loyal, while the Light God Race withheld aid to weaken its rival. The chapter ends with the Moonlight Civilization and Water Mirror Civilization facing uncertain futures under the Light God Race’s growing dominance.

• As the Green Vine Civilization suffered mounting losses, some allied World Civilizations considered withdrawing, while devoted followers stayed loyal despite facing destruction.
• The Destruction Divine Kingdom declared that diehard supporters of the Green Vine Civilization would not be trusted or absorbed after its defeat, and the Light God Race planned to purge native civilizations from Light Universe Time-Space.
• Bewilderment Time-Space forces drove the Green Life Great Wall Frontline back, prompting other indigenous Super Civilizations to prepare escape plans.
• The Light God Race refused to aid the Green Vine Civilization, hoping its defeat would let the race expand its influence and secure future rule.
• The Moonlight Civilization remained weak and stagnant, while the Water Mirror Civilization retained limited autonomy through Bing Xin and hope from Divine Venerable Miao Bo and Sea Mirror Woman’s service alongside Master Saine.

The Earth Element Golden Wall World Cluster rallied to support Green Vine Civilization, with the Mountain Giant King personally leading its forces because Green Vine Civilization had once helped save them. The reinforcements could not turn the tide against the overwhelming invasion, but the Jade Vine Tree continued to endure as Green Vine Civilization’s resources were plundered and sold across the dimensional planes.

• The Earth Element Golden Wall World Cluster quickly assembled a support legion for Green Vine Civilization, while Dark Nether Death God reduced pressure on their border to exploit the growing war.
• The Mountain Giant King suspended its breakthrough attempt and personally led the Earth Element Legions toward Green Vine Civilization, repaying the aid Green Vine Civilization had once given them.
• Madam Befu informed Saine of the Earth Element Golden Wall World Cluster’s intervention, and Saine prepared to monitor the war and possibly intervene himself.
• The support forces could not match the cross-dimensional expeditionary legion or the Bewilderment Behemoth, which kept destroying Green Vine Civilization’s defenses and killing its people.
• The Jade Vine Tree remained standing despite grave injuries and the loss of many avatars, continuing to nourish surviving Plant Element Beings with Life Energy.
• Bewilderment Time-Space forces sold plundered Plant Element resources on the battlefield, while civilizations across the dimensional planes sought them for their restorative and strategic value.

The Bewilderment Time-Space’s invasion devastated Green Vine Civilization, leaving the Jade Vine Tree near death as the Light God Race finally marched to support her. Destruction Demon God Locke’s army arrived first and routed the invaders in what knowledgeable observers recognized as a staged retreat.

• Salamander Grayke personally oversaw the Bewilderment Time-Space Legion’s interception of the Mountain Giant King’s reinforcements and secretly eased pressure on the Earth Element Golden Wall World Cluster at Saine’s request.
• Over roughly two thousand years, the Bewilderment Behemoth’s forces destroyed Green Vine Civilization’s defenses, devastated its allies, and reduced its homeland to its final one or two Star Sectors.
• The Light God Race resolved its own war troubles and sent the Supreme God, the Creation God, and their Angel Legion to support Green Vine Civilization, whose Jade Vine Tree was close to death.
• Destruction Demon God Locke led the Destruction Divine Kingdom Legion toward the battlefield to kill the Jade Vine Tree and seize her Heart Core and Green Vine Civilization’s wealth.
• The Destruction Divine Kingdom Legion quickly routed the Bewilderment Time-Space Legion, but observers recognized that the apparent defeat was a fake match and the invaders were deliberately retreating.

Bewilderment Time-Space openly sided with the Destruction Divine Kingdom as its forces helped the kingdom seize Green Vine territory. As Dao Ancestor Hongjun arrived, the Bewilderment Behemoth stopped attacking the Jade Vine Tree and withdrew toward its camp, leaving the battlefield in the Destruction Divine Kingdom’s hands.

• Salamander Gray Guest, the Stone Belly Spider, and the Seven-tailed Lizard openly backed the Destruction Divine Kingdom, encouraged by the Bewilderment Behemoth’s arrival and the rewards promised for their coordination.
• The Destruction Divine Kingdom took Green Vine star domains and Plane Worlds, spreading Destruction Factor that strengthened Destruction Demon God Locke while the Jade Vine Tree weakened under the Bewilderment Behemoth’s attacks.
• Destruction Demon God Locke and other leaders arrived on the battlefield, followed by Dao Ancestor Hongjun wielding a Jade Sword and radiating chaos.
• The Bewilderment Behemoth halted its attack when it saw Dao Ancestor Hongjun, whose Chaos Treasure Orb had previously frightened it.
• At Salamander Gray Guest’s urging, the tired Bewilderment Behemoth withdrew toward Bewilderment Time-Space’s main camp, anticipating the gifts prepared for it.

The Jade Vine Tree unleashed its remaining life force in a final attack against every invading Lord of Dimension, inspiring Green Vine Civilization’s Plant Element Beings to fight on. Mechanical God Emperor Saine arrived from Gear Time-Space as the ancient tree’s sacrifice unfolded.

• Destruction Demon God Locke sensed Dark Nether Death God, Ebony, and Duolie waiting in the starfield for a chance to claim the Jade Vine Tree’s Rule Tree Heart.
• Limitless Golden Emperor and the Lord of Eternal Day arrived, joining the gathered Lords of Dimension as the Jade Vine Tree weakened under their pressure.
• The Jade Vine Tree resolved to sacrifice itself for Light Universe Time-Space and unleashed a green rule attack against every Different Dimensional Plane invader.
• The Plant Element Beings rallied behind the Jade Vine Tree’s defiance and charged the invading legions with renewed determination.
• Mechanical God Emperor Saine left Alarm Clock Girl and Thomas to defend Gear Time-Space, then hurried to the battlefield with other powerful allies and witnessed the Jade Vine Tree’s attack.

Saine and the Pure World White Lotus arrived at Green Vine Civilization’s battlefield as the Jade Vine Tree and its forces faced destruction. The White Lotus rescued survivors while Saine observed the Jade Vine Tree and received several badly wounded high-level Plant Element Beings, apparently as part of a tacit deal with Bewilderment Time-Space.

• The Jade Vine Tree unleashed its final attack, but the Lords of Dimension blocked it and the Plant Element Legions’ desperate assault failed to turn the battle.
• The Pure World White Lotus grieved at Green Vine Civilization’s losses, transformed into her Rule True Body, and charged to rescue the endangered Plant Element Beings.
• The remaining Bewilderment Time-Space forces fled as Saine and the Mechanical Civilization Legion arrived, leaving behind their trapped allies and the battlefield’s spoils.
• The Pure World White Lotus and Saine’s forces rescued three nearly dead Level-9 Plant Element Beings and found a barely surviving Level-10 White Jade Radish powerhouse.
• Saine watched the Jade Vine Tree while the Bewilderment Time-Space retreat left the high-level Plant Element Beings alive for him, suggesting a tacit transaction between the two sides.

Saine and the Pure World White Lotus arrived at the ruined Green Vine battlefield, where she healed the surviving Plant Element Beings and agreed to persuade them to retreat to Gear Time-Space. Saine planned to recruit Green Vine’s other lineages but abandon the Sky Lantern Clan, whose remaining leaders faced certain defeat.

• The Pure World White Lotus used her Life Element power to treat the wounded Green Vine survivors and restore their hope.
• Saine asked the Pure World White Lotus to persuade the survivors to leave for Gear Time-Space, where Mechanical Civilization could shelter them and help them rebuild.
• The Pure World White Lotus agreed and approached the Level-10 White Jade Radish and three Level-9 Plant Element Beings, who regarded her with reverence.
• Saine decided to recruit valuable members of Green Vine’s other lineages but leave the Sky Lantern Clan to die on the battlefield.
• Saine noted that the Level-12 Jade Vine Tree and the two remaining Level-11 Sky Lantern Beings, Falandun and an unfamiliar powerhouse, had no chance of escaping their fate.

The Green Vine Civilization’s core battlefield fell under overwhelming attacks, with its two level-11 Sky Lantern experts near defeat and the Jade Vine Tree close to collapse. Duolie struck first at the Jade Vine Tree’s origin, unleashing a sandstorm that harmed both the Destruction Divine Kingdom and Bewilderment Time-Space forces.

• The Destruction Divine Kingdom and other forces drove both level-11 Sky Lantern experts toward death as their barriers and Origin Power failed.
• Storm Dragon Balhaink and three other level-11 Destruction-type practitioners coordinated their attacks against the weakened Level-11 Early-Stage Sky Lantern Being.

• The Jade Vine Tree remained critically weakened after his all-out counterattack, while the Lords of Dimensional Planes waited to claim his origin and Rule Materials.
• Duolie attacked the Jade Vine Tree’s trunk with a Flowing Sand Blade and spread a destructive Yellow Sand Storm across the battlefield.
• Duolie’s storm eroded the Jade Vine Tree and killed soldiers from both the Destruction Divine Kingdom and Bewilderment Time-Space, advancing his own interests.

The Lords of Dimension launched an all-out battle over the weakened Jade Vine Tree and its treasures, while the tree urged them to fight to the death. Darkness Sword Ebony broke through the melee and tore a piece of rule-rich trunk from the tree.

• Duolie attacked first, triggering the Lords of Dimension to join the battle, while Locke sent Kakarot and Ilena into the fray.
• Kakarot charged Duolie and shattered his Yellow Sand Rules defenses as Ilena targeted the Jade Vine Tree’s treasures.
• Hongjun entered seeking materials for alchemy, while Locke kept Sword Demon out of the melee and sent him to help defeat Sky Lantern Being Flanden.
• The Jade Vine Tree revealed its madness, calling for the combatants to die with it and declaring that catastrophe could bring a new order.
• Darkness Sword Ebony slipped past the fighting, pierced the Jade Vine Tree’s trunk, and gouged out a piece containing pure Power of Rules.
