Chapter Summaries

Saine developed the Gate of Mechanical Ascension, a device intended to transfer a flesh creature’s soul, memories, will, and rules into a mechanical body. After a successful reincarnation preserved its subject’s core memories and self-will, Saine expanded the gate and prepared to test it on a Transcendence Realm creature.

• Saine designed the Gate of Mechanical Ascension using Sky Net data, Cube Time-Space rules, and insights from Death Marks.
• Early experiments failed in different ways, so Saine used the trapped Death Envoy’s Level-12 Death Mark fluctuations to improve the gate.
• A Dark Universe Time-Space subject successfully reincarnated into a mechanical body with its core memories and self-will intact, though it suffered cognitive gaps and weakened Death Rule power.
• Saine and Wall-E recognized the gate’s potential, while further tests revealed that reincarnated beings depended on the Sky Net and lost some sensations and emotions.
• Saine increased the gate’s power and prepared a Transcendence Realm Death Creature’s Rule True Body for the next experiment.

Locke rejected Myriad Phenomena Balance Master’s attempt to impose a ceasefire and compensation terms during the invasion of Dark Universe Time-Space. The mediator was drawn into the battle as five Lords of Dimension fought across the collapsing Dark Universe Core, while Saine completed the initial refinement of a new Dimension Supreme Treasure.

• Locke and Limitless Golden Emperor overwhelmed Dark Nether Death God as the Lord of Eternal Day’s power approached the Dark Universe Core.
• Myriad Phenomena Balance Master arrived and used his Rule Chessboard to separate the fighters, then proposed that Dark Universe Time-Space cede territory and Rule Origin in exchange for a ceasefire.
• Locke rejected the proposal by hurling the Spear of Destruction at Myriad Phenomena Balance Master, shattering the balance rules and reigniting the battle.
• The Lord of Eternal Day joined Locke, Dark Nether Death God, Limitless Golden Emperor, and Myriad Phenomena Balance Master in a clash that forced the mediator to fight while both sides exploited his rules.
• Saine witnessed the Gate of Mechanical Ascension resonate with the Skynet system after its first stable operation, marking the initial completion of his new Dimension Supreme Treasure.
• The Dark Universe Core and several Death Divine Kingdoms collapsed under the fighting, while Limitless Golden Emperor gathered Rule Fragments and Locke absorbed more Destruction Factors.

Locke, the Limitless Golden Emperor, and the Lord of Eternal Day fought the Dark Nether Death God and the Myriad Phenomena Balance Master in the core of Dark Universe Time-Space. Kakarot arrived and helped break the Balance Chessboard, leaving the Myriad Phenomena Balance Master badly wounded and his opponents collecting its fragments.

• The Dark Nether Death God briefly helped the Myriad Phenomena Balance Master, while the Origin of Dark Universe Time-Space continued rejecting him and attacking his chessboard.
• The Lord of Eternal Day battled the Dark Nether Death God with blazing radiance, forcing him to abandon some of his support for the Myriad Phenomena Balance Master.
• Locke and the Limitless Golden Emperor attacked the Myriad Phenomena Balance Master, whose chessboard redirected their powers and made them strike one another.
• Kakarot arrived in Fusion State and punched the chessboard, letting Locke and the Limitless Golden Emperor break through the balance domain and wound the Myriad Phenomena Balance Master.
• The Myriad Phenomena Balance Master counterattacked with stored power, but Kakarot smashed more pieces, and Locke and the Limitless Golden Emperor collected the scattered rule fragments.

The Myriad Phenomena Balance Master appealed to watching Dimension Lords to intervene against the Destruction Divine Kingdom’s expansion, warning that Dark Universe Time-Space might not be its last target. Locke ignored the appeal and ordered his forces to speed up their advance and secure resources before other Dimension Lords entered the war.

• The Myriad Phenomena Balance Master showed Dimension Lords the destruction in Demon Cave Time-Space, the war in Evil Swamp Time-Space, and the invasion of Dark Universe Time-Space, urging them to act before the Destruction Divine Kingdom grew stronger.
• Ebony quietly raised the Darkness Sword Organization’s swords, Duolie considered how much power to commit, and other Dimension Lords began preparing to interfere.
• The Myriad Law Thunder Emperor turned more attention toward Dark Universe Time-Space, while the Paper Figure Dimension Lord placed a thunder card beside the game without choosing a side.
• Locke noticed the growing rule fluctuations and pressed his attack on the Myriad Phenomena Balance Master rather than stopping.
• Locke ordered the Destruction Divine Kingdom’s forces to accelerate their advance and seize resources and Rule Nodes before more Dimension Lords joined the war.
• Mechanical Civilization increased extraction in captured star regions, severing origin mineral veins, loading Rule Materials, and marking native Rule Nodes.

After Locke’s strategic orders redirected the invasion toward sealing or killing key Level-12 God Envoys and taking the Dark Nether Death God’s origin rules, the Destruction Divine Kingdom Faction tightened its fronts across Dark Universe Time-Space. The Death Star Sea fell to the invaders as battles against the envoys and the Lords of Dimension continued.

• Locke’s will shifted the factions from broad expansion to focused attacks, prompting them to regroup, secure occupied territory, and concentrate forces on priority targets.
• Bing Xin, the Moonlight Goddess, and their allies trapped the Death Envoy in a tightening rule-based cage, aiming to seal him intact for Mechanical Civilization.
• The Jinyue Witch and the Mountain Giant King battered the Nether-Whisper Envoy, while Sword Demon and his allies pinned down the Nether God Envoy and seized resources in the Lightless Tomb Domain.
• Kakarot and Vegeta’s fused body drove the Yin God Envoy from the Death Star Sea, then Kakarot left to join Locke’s core battlefield as the invaders secured the region.
• Mechanical Civilization collected Rule Altars, rule corpses, and captives from the Death Star Sea for Saine’s research and the Gate of Mechanical Ascension.
• Locke, the Limitless Golden Emperor, and Kakarot continued attacking the Myriad Phenomena Balance Master while the Lord of Eternal Day suppressed the Dark Nether Death God.

Bing Xin and the Moonlight Goddess captured the Death Envoy alive and sent him toward the Mechanical Civilization, while the Jinyue Witch and the Mountain Giant King killed the Nether-Whisper Envoy and secured much of his rule power. With one Level-12 God Envoy sealed and another dead, the Destruction Divine Kingdom Faction achieved more than half of its minimum objectives in the war.

• Bing Xin and the Moonlight Goddess used Water Mirror Rules and moonlight to seal the Death Envoy, then severed his connection to Dark Universe Time-Space before the Mechanical Legion transported him away.
• Bing Xin and the Moonlight Goddess withdrew as death nether tides converged on the battlefield after the Death Envoy was removed.
• The Jinyue Witch and the Mountain Giant King prevented the wounded Nether-Whisper Envoy from escaping the ash fire and forced him to face the Jinyue Witch's attack.
• The Mountain Giant King absorbed most of the Nether-Whisper Envoy's final death blast while the Jinyue Witch shattered his Level-12 death rule core.
• The Jinyue Witch and the Mountain Giant King contained the death-origin shock wave and collected rule fragments from the Nether-Whisper Envoy's remains.

The Dark Nether Death God’s losses prompted the Darkness Sword Organization, Qisha Time-Space, and the Myriad Law Thunder Emperor to move against the Destruction Divine Kingdom Faction. As the Myriad Law Thunder Emperor began descending, Locke attacked his passage, and their first clash left the Thunder Emperor forcing his way into Dark Universe Time-Space.

• The Darkness Sword Organization opened scattered channels and sent advance legions to seize Spatial Nodes while Ebony held back and watched the battlefield.
• Duolie opened a sand-element channel from Qisha Time-Space and sent part of its legion through, but he did not descend himself.
• The Myriad Law Thunder Emperor formed a Rule Thunder passage, giving the besieged Myriad Phenomena Balance Master room to stabilize his Rule Chessboard.
• Locke attacked the forming passage with the Spear of Destruction, and the Myriad Law Thunder Emperor answered with a massive thunder palm.
• Their collision destroyed part of the approaching Thunder Domain Legion, but the Myriad Law Thunder Emperor stabilized the passage and continued his descent.

Locke fought the Myriad Law Thunder Emperor after the latter entered Dark Universe Time-Space to curb the rising power of the Destruction Divine Kingdom. As Locke and the Thunder Emperor continued their battle, Duolie, the Dimension Lord of Qisha Time-Space, arrived on another battlefield.

• Locke and the Myriad Law Thunder Emperor clashed, and Locke's growing Destruction Tide forced the Thunder Emperor's war hammer backward.
• The Thunder Emperor sent nine Thunder Dragons against Locke, but Locke turned them against one another and pressed forward.
• The Thunder Emperor created a Thunder Prison to isolate Locke from Destruction Factors, but Locke broke through and charged him.
• Locke and the Thunder Emperor struck each other, tearing away pieces of each other's rule power and armor.
• The Lord of Eternal Day continued suppressing the Dark Nether Death God while the Limitless Golden Emperor watched a Sand-Type Vortex expand.
• Duolie, the Dimension Lord of Qisha Time-Space, crossed the Space-Time Channel into Dark Universe Time-Space.

Duolie and Ebony entered Dark Universe Time-Space under the pretense of supporting Dark Nether Death God, while their forces also sought to exploit its Origin. Duolie was held back by the Limitless Golden Emperor, and Kakarot drove Ebony off, but the Darkness Sword Organization continued stealing Dark Origin as the battle went on.

• Duolie descended into Dark Universe Time-Space, stabilized his channel, and was challenged by the Limitless Golden Emperor, who sealed the space around the channel.
• The Limitless Golden Emperor divided Duolie’s sand sea and forced him to sacrifice part of it, while Duolie conserved his strength rather than burning his Origin.
• Ebony’s legions fought the Destruction Divine Kingdom Legion while covertly seizing Rule Nodes and diverting Dark Origin through their Cross-Dimensional Channel.
• Ebony descended and defended his actions to Dark Nether Death God as support and trade, but Kakarot attacked him and shattered many of his sword shadows and occupied Rule Nodes.
• Kakarot forced Ebony and his Rule True Body backward, while Ebony’s legions continued expanding their theft of Dark Universe Time-Space’s Origin.

As the war spread across Dark Universe Time-Space, the Destruction Divine Kingdom Faction's advance slowed while foreign forces and their legions ravaged the worlds caught between them. The chapter leaves Dark Universe civilizations divided between resistance, surrender, and concealment as the Dark Nether Death God's control weakened.

• Locke's clash with Myriad Law Thunder Emperor intensified the Destruction Tide, while the arrival of Duolie, Ebony, and other foreign forces slowed the Destruction Divine Kingdom Faction's advance.
• The Withered Dark Galaxy resisted repeated assaults under its Death Monarch, but sacrificed worlds and its future to maintain its defenses.
• A distant cluster of hundreds of worlds was annihilated by the aftershock of the clash between Myriad Law Thunder Emperor and Locke.
• Some civilizations surrendered to the Destruction Divine Kingdom Faction, and the Mechanical Civilization placed them under its control and repurposed their industries.
• The Darkness Sword Organization and Qisha Time-Space Legion plundered and enslaved Dark Universe worlds, deepening local beings' anger and despair.
• Some civilizations hid their rule signatures or severed ties with the Origin of Dark Universe Time-Space in hopes of surviving the war.

After nearly three thousand years of war, Sword Demon defeated and killed the Nether God Envoy in the collapsing Lightless Tomb Domain. The victory brought Sword Demon closer to Level-12 Mid-Stage, while the war continued elsewhere as Dark Nether Death God felt his subordinate’s fall.

• The Eternal Day and Limitless Time-Space forces sealed the Lightless Tomb Domain’s escape routes and destroyed the Nether God Envoy’s corpse legions.
• Sword Demon cut through the Rule Corpses and, in a decisive clash, split the Nether God Envoy’s death spear and wounded his Rule True Body.
• The Nether God Envoy tried to flee, but Sword Demon’s planted sword shadows blocked his route, and Sword Demon cleaved him apart.
• The Eternal Day and Limitless Time-Space practitioners contained the resulting sea of death while the Destruction Divine Kingdom armies began collecting the spoils.
• Sword Demon sensed a path toward Level-12 Mid-Stage but remained to command the campaign, while Dark Nether Death God felt the Nether God Envoy’s death and the Lord of Eternal Day struck him with an Eternal Day Beam.

As the Dark Universe Time-Space War reached a stalemate, Locke judged that the Destruction Divine Kingdom Faction had secured its strategic gains and ordered its forces to draw in their battle lines. Saine also deterred the Heavenly Crown Emperor Monarch from entering the battlefield, leaving the rival powers poised rather than advancing.

• The war settled into an equilibrium as the factions held their positions and outside Lords of Dimension made further gains increasingly costly.
• Saine completed years of experiments on the Gate of Mechanical Ascension, improving its ability to reincarnate death-element lifeforms while keeping the sealed Death Envoy under observation.
• After detecting the Heavenly Crown Emperor Monarch's projection at the battlefield's edge, Saine entered the Mechanical God Rule True Body and confronted him, prompting the Monarch to hesitate.
• Locke reassessed the war after learning that his faction had secured its intended gains and that outside Lords of Dimension were turning the conflict into a prolonged struggle.
• Locke ordered the Destruction Divine Kingdom Faction to draw in its battle lines.

After Locke ordered a strategic contraction, the Destruction Divine Kingdom Faction withdrew in an orderly fashion while Saine’s Mechanical Civilization fortified the Darkness Vortex as a hidden bridgehead and harvested Dark Universe Time-Space’s resources. The Dark Nether Death God could not stop them, and the invaders left with their gains and a route to return.

• Locke’s will halted the Destruction Divine Kingdom Legion’s advance and shifted occupied regions into a defensive posture.
• Saine deployed fortresses, anchor points, and artillery around the Death Star Sea and Lightless Tomb Domain while Mechanical Civilization harvested materials and prepared the Darkness Vortex as a semi-permanent bridgehead.
• The Dark Nether Death God tried to spread Death Shadow toward the Darkness Vortex, but the Lord of Eternal Day intercepted him as Saine’s forces continued their work.
• With most of his God Envoys dead, captured, or in flight, the Dark Nether Death God watched helplessly as the Destruction Divine Kingdom Faction secured its foothold and plundered the weakened Dark Universe Time-Space.
• Mechanical Civilization catalogued and distributed the extracted resources, then withdrew transports toward Light Universe Time-Space while leaving hidden Metal Rule patterns that could reopen the route.

Locke continued fighting the Myriad Law Thunder Emperor as the Destruction Divine Kingdom withdrew and its allies shifted to defense. Their clash became a spar in which both learned from the other, and Locke left with the beginnings of a destructive lightning technique while the Myriad Law Thunder Emperor recognized that Locke would grow more dangerous.

• Locke continued attacking the Myriad Law Thunder Emperor, targeting his lightning rules rather than focusing on killing him.
• The Destruction Divine Kingdom Legion retreated across the battlefields while its allies reinforced occupied zones and shifted to defense.
• Locke captured lightning-rule fragments and considered incorporating their explosive and oscillating traits into the Power of Destruction.
• The Myriad Law Thunder Emperor studied Locke's Destruction Tide and grew wary of Locke's ability to strengthen himself by absorbing Destruction Factors.
• Locke used rapid rule oscillations in a spear thrust to crack the Myriad Law Thunder Emperor's lightning barrier, and both powerhouses gained new insights from the battle.

The Dark Nether Death God assessed the catastrophic losses Dark Universe Time-Space had suffered and realized that his authority over its civilizations was weakening. The Mechanical Civilization’s entrenched bridgehead remained beyond his reach as allied factions and his own subordinates pursued their interests or hid from battle.

• The Dark Nether Death God sensed that Dark Universe Time-Space had lost most of its Level-12 God Envoys, vital Death Rule Nodes, and vast reserves, and that recovery could take hundreds of thousands of years.
• The Dark Nether Death God realized Ebony and Duolie had exploited the war to seize Dark Universe origins, resources, and rules, but he could not drive them out while his homeland remained weak.
• The Yin God Envoy hid in the rear rather than rally Dark Universe civilizations, and the Dark Nether Death God tolerated his absence because few native high-level fighters remained.
• The Dark Nether Death God sent an 11th-level Death Monarch’s legion to attack the Darkness Vortex, but Saine’s automated artillery forced it to retreat before it reached the bridgehead.
• The Dark Nether Death God could not safely recall the captured Death Envoy because the Mechanical Civilization had turned their connection into observation circuits that could expose his origin’s workings.
• Higher Civilizations began privately seeking support from the Yin God Envoy, the Darkness Sword Organization, or the Mechanical Civilization, while the Dark Nether Death God lacked the strength to purge them.

Kakarot relentlessly attacked the Myriad Law Thunder Emperor and Ebony across the Dimension Battlefields, while Locke sustained him through Paradise Lost and eventually ordered him to stop. Elsewhere, the Limitless Golden Emperor restrained Duolie as their legions plundered Dark Universe Time-Space, leaving the Dark Nether Death God unable to stop the invading forces from withdrawing.

• Kakarot repeatedly charged the Myriad Law Thunder Emperor and Ebony, tearing through lightning and Dark Sword Shadows despite taking injuries.
• Locke used Paradise Lost’s Sacred Tree to restore Kakarot, while Saine’s Skynet Observation Model detected instability in Kakarot’s Rule True Body.
• Locke told Kakarot to stop, and Kakarot paused after forcing Ebony back and promised they would continue next time.
• The Limitless Golden Emperor restrained Duolie while the Limitless Time-Space Legion took resources and Dimensional Origin from Dark Universe Time-Space.
• Duolie held the Limitless Golden Emperor at bay as the Qisha Time-Space Legion transported plunder through Sand-type Channels, while the Dark Nether Death God struggled to stop the Destruction Divine Kingdom Faction’s withdrawal.

After a prolonged duel, Locke and the Destruction Divine Kingdom Faction withdrew from Dark Universe Time-Space with their gains secured, leaving the dimension deeply damaged. Dark Nether Death God was left without allies willing to counterattack, and the war entered a temporary pause.

• Locke and Myriad Law Thunder Emperor fought for nearly a thousand years, trading insights and growing stronger without a decisive victor.
• At the edge of the core, Locke and Myriad Law Thunder Emperor exchanged a final strike, then Locke withdrew and the other Destruction Divine Kingdom fighters stopped pursuing their opponents.
• Dark Nether Death God opened Native Rule Channels and urged the foreign Dimension Lords to counterattack, but Myriad Law Thunder Emperor, Ebony, and Duolie refused to respond.
• The Destruction Divine Kingdom Faction withdrew in orderly stages, and its artillery broke up Dark Universe Time-Space legions that attacked the retreat.
• Saine withdrew some of the Mechanical God’s silver-white chains after the last important resources were sent away, but deeper mechanical patterns remained embedded in Dark Universe Time-Space.
• Locke disappeared into the Destruction Tide as no one pursued him, and the war entered a temporary end.

The Destruction Divine Kingdom Faction and its allies catalogued and transported the spoils of war while repelling Dark Universe pursuit legions. The Dark Nether Death God assessed Dark Universe Time-Space’s catastrophic losses and ordered his forces to clean up the battlefield.

• The Mechanical Civilization, Destruction Divine Kingdom, Light God Race, Limitless Time-Space, and Eternal Day Time-Space sorted, purified, and claimed resources at the Illusory Sea Maze transit station.
• Saine’s rule artillery and the allied legions ambushed and shattered Dark Universe pursuit forces, killing or driving off their powerful leaders and intercepting a Death Monarch’s Death Mark.
• The Dark Nether Death God learned that three of his four Level-12 God Envoys, the Death Star Sea, much of the Lightless Tomb Domain, and numerous Death Altar systems had been lost.
• The Dark Nether Death God’s report also revealed that Ebony and Duolie had taken resources while claiming to provide support.
• The Dark Nether Death God ordered his subordinates to clean up the battlefield.

The Dark Nether Death God chose to preserve Dark Universe Time-Space rather than sacrifice its remaining essence in another battle against Locke. After forcing scattered legions back into line, he began rebuilding the damaged realm and assessing the forces still at his disposal, with the Darkness Source Civilization drawing particular attention.

• The Dark Nether Death God refused to fully awaken the Ancient Death Rule Source Wells because doing so would further weaken Dark Universe Time-Space and empower Locke.
• The Dark Nether Death God ordered scattered legions to return to their Star Sectors, and his Shadow Guard executed deserters to restore order.
• Ebony withdrew with a substantial amount of Dark Origin, while Duolie and the Qisha Time-Space Legion left with resources taken from Dark Universe Time-Space.
• The Dark Nether Death God set aside his grievances against Ebony and Duolie because he still needed potential allies against the Destruction Divine Kingdom.
• The Dark Nether Death God mobilized surviving civilizations to repair shattered planes, rebuild the Death Altar, and reorganize legions.
• The Darkness Source Civilization stood out among the forces active in Dark Universe Time-Space’s recovery.

Great Black Heaven led the Darkness Source Civilization through postwar repairs and suppression in Dark Universe Time-Space, using the chaos to strengthen its position. As native forces grew wary of the outsiders, he moved to secure resources and prepare the civilization for the struggle ahead.

• Great Black Heaven advanced to Level-11 Late-Stage as the Dark Universe Time-Space War ended, and the Dark Nether Death God assigned him tasks to repair the Death Star Sea and restore order.
• Great Black Heaven crushed an out-of-control Death Legion and sent the Darkness Source Legion to reorganize troops and purge disobedient subordinate civilizations.
• Great Black Heaven covertly expanded the Darkness Source Civilization’s control over resource nodes once held by the Death Envoy and the Nether God Envoy.
• Great Black Heaven outfitted new legions with recovered death armor and damaged rule components while dismissing elders’ fears of provoking native forces.
• Great Black Heaven urged the other Level-10 Transcendence Realm experts to move faster as the Darkness Source Civilization seized opportunities in the unsettled postwar order.
