Saine’s influence over Gear Time-Space and Demon Cave Time-Space grew through allied civilizations and carefully managed authority. As the Mechanical Civilization and Destruction Divine Kingdom began scouting Mist Bone Time-Space, it emerged as a possible future point of intervention in the Evil Swamp system.

• Secluded Bamboo Supreme and the Evil Tide Civilization worked with Saine’s allies to restore order in Demon Cave Time-Space, with Zi You helping coordinate between Saine and Secluded Bamboo Supreme.
• The Destruction Divine Kingdom refrained from further interference in Demon Cave Time-Space after gaining the Demon Cave Master's Origin of Destruction, remains, and an opportunity for Locke to advance.
• Saine’s influence encompassed roughly seventy percent of Gear Time-Space and fifty percent of Demon Cave Time-Space, while he maintained allied civilizations’ interests and roles.
• The Mechanical Civilization received Mist Bone Time-Space resources through the Evil Spirit King and the Heavenly Wing Demon Lord, then began studying them through Wall-E and Skynet.
• The Mechanical Civilization and the Destruction Divine Kingdom dispatched small reconnaissance forces to Mist Bone Time-Space to study its resources, garrisons, and Mist Skeleton Monarchs.

Saine studied the Stein Empire’s technology and the Jinyue Witch while arranging mutually beneficial research exchanges between his allies and the Wizard Civilization Mages. He also monitored the Demon Cave Time-Space’s continuing Destruction Tide and awaited Locke’s emergence and advancement to Level-13 Mid-Stage.

• The Stein Empire’s Emperor cooperated with Saine’s research into the empire’s core magic energy system to secure his civilization’s standing under the new order.
• The Jinyue Witch cooperated with Saine’s experiments in exchange for a safer position for the Devil Moon Civilization.
• Lilith, Ashar, and Sharafa offered rare materials to secure research access to the Alarm Clock Girl and other Level-12 Beings, and Saine negotiated the terms before the Alarm Clock Girl agreed.
• Saine continued watching the Destruction Tide as the Demon Cave Master’s remnant body disintegrated, the deep fissures collapsed, and the Breath of the End converged on Locke.
• Saine wondered how long Locke would remain in seclusion and when he would formally reach Level-13 Mid-Stage.

Rustwheel-739 rose from a Level-2 maintenance unit to a Level-4 high-risk logistics unit as Gear Time-Space expanded after the Demon Cave war. Its survival of dangerous contamination earned it upgrades and a place in Skynet’s observation sequence, showing how the era’s growth reached even bottom-tier mechanical lives.

• Rustwheel-739 began as an ordinary maintenance unit and gained a self-identification number after three hundred years without a major accident.
• After the Demon Cave war, Rustwheel-739 handled polluted transport machinery, developed stronger self-repair and Rule Resistance, and joined a high-risk logistics squad.
• While sealing Mist Bone samples, Rustwheel-739 survived memory erosion and developed anti-fog-husk circuits that were shared with other low-level mechanical units.
• At a space fortress, Rustwheel-739 contained an activated Level-13 pollution fragment by using its anti-erosion circuit and shutting down nearby conduction lines, though the impact burned out nearly thirty percent of its core computing area.
• Technicians found a tamed high-dimensional residual echo in Rustwheel-739’s core, and Skynet placed it under observation before it later advanced to Level 4.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun continued guiding Duan Ning in alchemy and gave her valuable tools, while Vegeta pushed himself through increasingly extreme training to reach Level-12 and catch up to Kakarot. Hongjun remained a quiet, mysterious presence in Demon Cave Time-Space, and Kakarot stayed focused on the peak rather than worrying about Vegeta.

• Hongjun remained in Demon Cave Time-Space and regularly taught Duan Ning through Dao lectures and practical lessons, helping her alchemy improve.
• Hongjun gave Duan Ning a bluish-gray Alchemy Furnace and a prayer mat that helped her control materials and focus while refining pills.
• Vegeta secluded himself at Level-11 Peak and repeatedly trained under simulated pressure from his battle with the Demon Cave Master to pursue Level-12.
• Vegeta grew more determined after learning that the God of Machines had advanced to Level-12, turning his pride and jealousy into more intense training.
• Kakarot knew Vegeta was training frantically but remained unconcerned, keeping his gaze fixed on the peak.

More than three thousand years after the Demon Cave Master's demise, the Mechanical Civilization and Demon Cave Time-Space gradually stabilized and rebuilt. Saine and Little Tenth welcomed their son, Saelot Grant, whose life level was already Level-9 at birth, and Little Tenth planned to raise him as the Minghe Empire's future successor.

• Over three thousand years, the Mechanical Civilization expanded its war system while the Evil Tide Civilization worked to stabilize Demon Cave Time-Space and manage its native powers.
• Little Tenth gave birth to Saelot Grant in the Mechanical God Fortress Research Base as six types of rules resonated around the newborn.
• Saine saw that Saelot Grant had reached Level-9 at birth and placed a protective mechanical magic brand on him.
• Little Tenth named Saelot Grant the Minghe Empire's intended future successor, and Saine supplied resources suited to the empire, the Mechanical Civilization, and the wizard system.
• Saine kept news of Saelot Grant's birth within the Mechanical Civilization and among a few people close to him.

Signs of the Evil Swamp Lord of Dimension’s awakening spread through Evil Swamp Time-Space, prompting its temple lords to recall their forces and Saine to intensify surveillance. The Evil Spirit King began risking his life to reach Level 13, while Saine recognized that a conflict over the dimension’s authority was drawing near.

• The Evil Spirit King and Jiang Qi warned Saine that corruption tides, rule-quakes, and revived altars signaled the Evil Swamp Lord of Dimension was close to awakening.
• Saine learned that the awakening was already mutating creatures and marking local experts, while temple lords quietly recalled their legions and abandoned exposed resources.
• The Evil Spirit King told Saine he had entered a critical attempt to break through to Level 13 and needed support from Locke and Saine.
• Jiang Qi reported that ancient altars were reviving and swallowing patrols, turning them into mindless Alienated Mud Statues.
• Saine raised Mechanical Civilization’s monitoring level over Evil Swamp Time-Space, Mist Bone Time-Space, and related cross-dimensional rifts.

Locke and Saine planned a measured campaign in response to the awakening signs from Evil Swamp Time-Space, focusing on protecting the Evil Spirit King and creating an internal foothold rather than launching an all-out war. As preparations began, Vegeta advanced to Level-12 and challenged Kakarot, becoming a potential trump card for the coming conflict.

• Locke contacted Saine and learned that the Evil Swamp Lord of Dimension was showing signs of awakening and directing power toward Demon Cave Time-Space.
• Locke and Saine agreed to protect the Evil Spirit King and help him reach Level 13, while Saine planned supply routes, evacuation channels, and carefully timed support.
• Saine ordered Mechanical Civilization to prepare cross-dimensional delivery nodes, retreat channels, pollution isolation devices, and contingency plans for the Evil Swamp Temple Lords.
• Vegeta advanced to Level-12 Early-Stage after years of seclusion and relentless effort driven partly by his rivalry with Kakarot.
• Vegeta challenged Kakarot after his breakthrough and lost without serious injury, while Saine raised Skynet's monitoring of Vegeta's life fluctuations.

As the Evil Swamp Lord of Dimension’s awakening drew near, major powers across the Multiverse prepared for the possibility of war, while Saine learned that the awakening might be tied to the Demon Cave Master’s death. The chapter leaves the factions watching cautiously as old grudges threaten to pull the Destruction Divine Kingdom into another conflict.

• The Dark Nether Death God sought allies against the Destruction Divine Kingdom by contacting the Myriad Phenomena Balance Master and the cautious Heavenly Crown Emperor Monarch.
• Ebony and Duolie stayed quiet, waiting for an opportunity while avoiding a direct challenge to the growing Destruction Divine Kingdom.
• Jiang Qi warned Saine that the Evil Swamp Lord of Dimension might awaken because of the Demon Cave Master’s fall and had begun directing the Power of Rules toward Demon Cave Time-Space.
• The Myriad Phenomena Balance Master observed a connection forming between Evil Swamp Time-Space and Demon Cave Time-Space, while the Heavenly Crown Emperor Monarch remained wary of both Locke and the coming turmoil.
• Card Time-Space increased its cross-dimensional transactions, and the Myriad Law Thunder Emperor reorganized his legions while waiting to see how events unfolded.

Saine continued his research while Jinyue Witch offered to bear his children as a way to bind the Devil Moon Civilization more closely to the Mechanical Civilization. Saine made no commitment, and the chapter left the Devil Moon Civilization’s future unresolved as the approaching storm in Evil Swamp Time-Space took priority.

• Saine managed his ongoing research and monitored several powerful beings and developments across the civilizations.
• Jinyue Witch asked Saine to deepen ties between the Devil Moon Civilization and the Mechanical Civilization, offering to bear his children.
• Saine said their relationship could not be measured only by profit and noted that there were other ways to strengthen the civilizations’ connection.
• At Saine’s request, Jinyue Witch lay on the Laboratory Table while he studied her Devil Moon origin.
• Jinyue Witch left, and Saine sealed her origin data while turning his attention back to the approaching storm in Evil Swamp Time-Space.

Saine monitored the increasingly severe signs that the Evil Swamp Lord of Dimension was awakening, while gathering intelligence from divided Temple Lords and preparing Mechanical Civilization for a crisis. He concluded that the Demon Cave Master's fall may have accelerated the awakening, leaving the Evil Spirit King less time to reach Level 13.

• The deep Origin Swamp surged more often, abandoned altars ignited, and creatures across Rotten Beard Star Swamp mutated into clay fetuses that hummed toward the depths.
• Saine received intelligence from Jiang Qi, the Heavenly Wing Demon Lord, the Blue-eyed Octopus, Agulos, and Wuzhuo, revealing that the Level-12 Temple Lords were divided and hedging against the awakening.
• Jiang Qi reported that the Evil Spirit King had sunk into a deep source region to attempt a breakthrough to Level 13 while keeping a retreat route in case he failed.
• Saine held back Locke because the Demon Cave's destructive frenzy remained intense, and he continued monitoring the Evil Swamp rather than sending Locke's true body into it.
• The Sky Net Central Hub's model indicated that the Evil Swamp Lord of Dimension was being forcibly awakened, possibly by the Demon Cave Master's fall, so Saine shifted computing power and used Demon Cave rule fragments to study the revival.

Saine discovered that the newly awakened Evil Swamp Lord of Dimension had reached the level-13 peak and could rally the entire Evil Swamp hierarchy against his enemies. After the Evil Spirit King begged for help, Saine mobilized the Mechanical Civilization to keep him alive while Locke held back.

• Saine calculated that the confused Evil Swamp Lord of Dimension had reached the level-13 peak and was drawn toward Demon Cave Time-Space.
• Saine warned Locke, Hongjun, and the Limitless Golden Emperor that the Old Master could rally Evil Swamp's Temple Lords and threaten their forces.
• The Evil Spirit King urgently asked Saine and Locke for aid, fearing the Old Master would target him as a rival approaching Level 13.
• Locke did not respond while the destruction tide continued absorbing the remains of the Demon Cave Master.
• Saine suspended research, put the Mechanical God Rule True Body on standby, and deployed Level-12 practitioners and elite legions to protect the Evil Spirit King.

Saine led the Mechanical Civilization Legion into the Return Vortex Deep Domain to support the Evil Spirit King as the Evil Swamp Lord of Dimension approached. The Mechanical Civilization established a fortified frontline, giving the Evil Spirit King’s wavering forces some confidence while Saine prepared the area for possible reinforcements.

• The Evil Spirit King secluded himself in the dangerous Return Vortex Deep Domain, keeping hidden rifts to Demon Cave Time-Space as a possible escape route.
• Saine brought the Mechanical Civilization Legion into Evil Swamp Time-Space, where emotional tides threatened to corrupt its units, and deployed the Ten Thousand Mechanical Law Ring to stabilize them.
• Saine saw the approaching Evil Swamp Lord of Dimension drawing the time-space’s Origin Nodes back under its control.
• The Evil Spirit King welcomed Saine but was disappointed that Locke, the Limitless Golden Emperor, and Dao Ancestor Hongjun had not arrived.
• Saine deployed observation platforms, altars, and other devices, then built a silver-white mechanical frontline around the Evil Spirit King’s seclusion area.
• The Evil Spirit King’s forces took some comfort from the Mechanical Civilization’s defenses, while Saine continued expanding the frontline without making promises.
