Chapter Summaries

Saine traded part of the Self-Sealing Technique to Final Silence Time-Space and received the Final Silence Royal Court Gray Seal, which could suppress the activity of rules. His experiments showed that the seal could help the Mechanical God safely integrate more Rule Modules, leaving Saine with a new tool for managing extreme rules.

• Saine traded part of the Self-Sealing Technique to Final Silence Time-Space through Envoy Jimin.
• Final Silence Time-Space sent Saine the Final Silence Royal Court Gray Seal as recognition of their research relationship.
• Saine tested the seal on Mechanical God modules and found it reduced rule conflicts and extended stable operation.
• Lina, Ashar, and Cuilisi studied the seal, while Saine returned compatibility data to Final Silence Time-Space.
• Saine tested the seal on Wuzhuo and found that it reduced the spread of destruction and pollution, though Wuzhuo found the effect uncomfortable.

The Minghe Empire rose rapidly under Little Tenth, while the Mechanical Civilization expanded its influence over the Demon Cave Time-Space. Saine discovered that the Cube Time-Space and Gear Time-Space had begun resonating, and he designated the connection a high-priority long-term research project.

• The Minghe Empire gained power as new Level-10 Death Monarchs emerged and a Level-9 Pharaoh King reached the Transcendence Realm, pressuring the Light Dimension Country and other affiliated civilizations.
• Saine judged that the Evil Tide Civilization, the Stein Empire, and the Jinyue Witch's faction would administer the Demon Cave Time-Space under the Mechanical Civilization's influence, while the Destruction Divine Kingdom claimed a large share of its resources.
• The Jinyue Witch offered to let the Mechanical Civilization modify some of her legions, and the Stein Empire exchanged advanced technological legacies for recognition in the Demon Cave Time-Space's future order.
• Skynet detected a brief synchronization between the Cube Time-Space and an ancient gear structure in the Gear Time-Space, and Saine's review confirmed their origin resonance was not a coincidence.
• Saine listed dual-core resonance as a highest-level long-term observation project because binding the two time-spaces could create a powerful system but also expose each to backlash if the other were struck.

Saine discovered that the Final Silence Royal Court Gray Seal could temporarily suppress the activity of the Destruction Crystal Tide and began preparing a stable war base beyond the Bronze Gate. After Locke announced a new expedition in three thousand years, Saine activated the Mechanical Civilization’s war preparations.

• Saine tested the Final Silence Royal Court Gray Seal on Destruction Crystal Tide and confirmed that it reduced the Tide’s activity without purifying it.
• Saine, Lina, and Ashar discussed expanding the suppression effect into an array that could stabilize an Experimental Zone beyond the Bronze Gate.
• Saine combined gray seals and Self-Sealing Technique runes into an array, expanding the suppressed area enough to redesign the Bronze Gate entrance war base.
• Locke received Saine’s data and announced that the Destruction Divine Kingdom Faction would launch another expedition against the Destruction Time-Space in three thousand years.
• Saine entered the expedition date into Skynet and activated the Bronze Gate contingency plan, setting the Mechanical Civilization and its allies in motion.

Saine designed a cautious first-stage plan for the Destruction Time-Space expedition, and Locke, Limitless Golden Emperor, and the Lord of Eternal Day agreed to participate. After three thousand years of preparations, the war was ready to begin with the goal of securing a stable foothold in the entrance zone.

• Saine proposed securing the Bronze Gate passage, building a war base, suppressing the Destruction Crystal Tide, and only then confronting nearby Level-12 beings; Locke approved the plan and chose to remain outside the gate at first.
• Limitless Golden Emperor and the Lord of Eternal Day agreed to send troops after receiving invitations, with the Lord of Eternal Day asking how long Saine could keep the passage stable.
• Mechanical Civilization and its allies began preparing armor, arrays, supplies, and vanguard forces for the expedition as the war countdown advanced through three thousand years.
• Saine set the first-stage objective as establishing a stable foothold and identified the Crystal Tide Wrath Beast as the first target while advising the forces to avoid the Empty-Faced Burning Monarch for now.

Saine and the Destruction Divine Kingdom Faction completed preparations for an expedition into Destruction Time-Space, planning first to secure the Bronze Gate entrance and hunt the Crystal Tide Wrath Beast. The story leaves the forces ready to advance, with allies supplying support and merchants positioning themselves to profit from the coming war.

• Saine prepared thirty-six War Fortresses and assigned the Evil Swamp Legions to shoulder much of the vanguard pressure, while the Evil Spirit King prepared to join a later phase.
• Saine selected Wuzhuo, Blue-eyed Octopus, and Star Mark to probe the Crystal Tide Wrath Beast, then sealed their auras to reduce the risk of detection.
• Locke mobilized the Destruction Angel Legion, Destruction System Divine Envoys, and Super Saiyan Legion, but kept Kakarot out of the first wave.
• Envoy Jimin delivered Final Silence Ash Crystals and gray seals, and Saine agreed to share new clues about Source-Devouring Time-Space and methods for suppressing extreme rules.
• Saine presented the entrance-zone war base plan at the final war meeting, and the leaders agreed to secure the entrance before attacking the Crystal Tide Wrath Beast.
• The Creation God sent high-ranking Light Angels to support the outer passageways, while Salamander Gray Guest spread rumors and helped stir commercial interest in the coming war.

Chen Yuan noticed the Destruction Divine Kingdom Faction’s forces converging on an unknown Higher Dimension and tried to uncover its target while other Dimension Lords held back. Unable to see through the Bronze Gate’s concealment, he arranged to monitor supply routes and suspicious trade, as the invasion force reached the gate.

• The Dark Nether Death God ordered the Yin God Envoy to withdraw outer legions and sent Great Black Heaven to inspect mechanical inscriptions, allowing him to report Dark Universe Time-Space’s response to Gear Time-Space.
• Chen Yuan observed several powers mobilizing toward an unknown void, sought information from other dimensions, and learned that most Dimension Lords would not join the coming war.
• Chen Yuan tried to deduce the Bronze Gate’s location on the Myriad Phenomena Chessboard, but its concealment blocked him and risked backlash.
• Chen Yuan placed pieces representing Dark Universe Time-Space, the Darkness Sword Organization, and Qisha Time-Space around the unknown void to have them monitor the Destruction Divine Kingdom Faction’s resource routes.
• Chen Yuan warned the Myriad Phenomena Community not to provoke the Destruction Divine Kingdom Faction and required reports of abnormal transactions, while the first invasion legion arrived before the Bronze Gate.

Saine, Locke, and the Destruction Divine Kingdom Faction launched an operation through the Bronze Gate to fight the Crystal Tide Wrath Beast and collect samples of its Level-12 Origin of Destruction. After Wuzhuo, Blue-eyed Octopus, and Star Mark engaged the beast, Saine deployed more troops and outposts as the war for Destruction Time-Space began.

• Saine’s forces deployed the Final Silence Gray Marks, then Wuzhuo, Blue-eyed Octopus, Star Mark, and the Evil Swamp vanguard entered Destruction Time-Space.
• Saine used the vanguard’s mechanical observation runes to gather data as the Destruction Crystal Tide killed many of the low-level troops.
• The Crystal Tide Wrath Beast awakened and attacked Wuzhuo’s group, crushing Evil Swamp troops and striking at the Level-12 fighters.
• Blue-eyed Octopus disrupted the beast’s control of the crystal tide while Star Mark blocked its escape routes, creating an opening for Wuzhuo to tear through its crystal armor.
• Saine’s mechanical recovery beams captured a fresh Level-12 Origin of Destruction sample from the beast’s exposed rule pathways.
• Saine sent a second wave of the Evil Swamp Legion and three mechanical outpost fortresses through the Bronze Gate as the battle intensified.

Saine’s team wounded the Crystal Tide Wrath Beast and retrieved a core Rule Fragment, confirming that the Level-12 Destruction Creature served as a node in Destruction Time-Space. Saine ordered Wuzhuo, Star Mark, and Blue-eyed Octopus to capture it alive, leaving the battle unresolved as Destruction Creatures flooded toward them.

• Wuzhuo, Blue-eyed Octopus, and Star Mark coordinated their attacks to disrupt the Crystal Tide Wrath Beast and exploit its instinctive fighting style.
• At Saine’s command, Wuzhuo tore core crystal armor from the beast while Blue-eyed Octopus and Star Mark endured the backlash.
• Saine used the Final Silence Gray Mark Array and mechanical retrieval beams to secure the crystal armor, then concluded that the beast was a rule node in Destruction Time-Space.
• Saine ordered the three fighters to capture and seal the Crystal Tide Wrath Beast alive, and they began binding it while disrupting its control over the crystal tide.
• Low-level Destruction Creatures converged on the battlefield, and Saine recorded their instinctive response as the fight to capture the beast continued.

Saine established the Mechanical Civilization’s first foothold beyond the Bronze Gate by deploying War Fortresses and auxiliary anchor points into Destruction Time-Space. The fortresses held against the Crystal Tide Wrath Beast and the raging crystal tide, leaving the stable zone ready for further reinforcements.

• Saine sent three War Fortresses through the Bronze Gate, where they anchored themselves and linked their Final Silence halos to form a small stable zone.
• Mechanical Lifeforms repaired the fortresses and deployed observation towers, while the Evil Swamp vanguard fought Destruction Creatures and suffered catastrophic losses.
• The Lord of Eternal Day lamented the carnage, while Locke noted that the Evil Swamp forces’ losses would earn their side merit and future rewards.
• Saine coordinated the War Fortresses, Wuzhuo, and Star Mark to construct a sealing cage around the Crystal Tide Wrath Beast as it battered the fortresses.
• Saine ordered auxiliary anchor points deployed, and the surviving anchors connected to the fortresses, preventing the crystal tide from immediately tearing open the stable zone.

As Wuzhuo and Star Mark continued sealing the Crystal Tide Wrath Beast, the Hundred-Eyed Chaos Beast emerged and Blue-eyed Octopus intercepted it. Saine helped Blue-eyed Octopus survive a concentrated attack, while Locke observed that the damaged node had drawn another destruction powerhouse toward the entrance.

• The Hundred-Eyed Chaos Beast awakened in Destruction Time-Space and approached the entrance after the Crystal Tide Wrath Beast's Rule Nodes were damaged.
• Blue-eyed Octopus confronted the Hundred-Eyed Chaos Beast, using his compound-eye rules to deflect its destructive gazes and buy time for Wuzhuo and Star Mark.
• The Hundred-Eyed Chaos Beast redirected a concentrated beam at Blue-eyed Octopus, injuring its eyes and tentacles as destructive laws began to corrode it.
• Blue-eyed Octopus folded one of the beast's destructive beams back into its eye pupils, while Saine recognized the potential of its compound-eye laws for future observation technology.
• The Hundred-Eyed Chaos Beast focused its attack through a giant vertical pupil, and Saine detonated a Final Silence Gray Seal to suppress the strike and help Blue-eyed Octopus retreat.
• Locke observed that the Destruction Crystal Tide had grown more active, while the Crystal Tide Wrath Beast was nearly sealed in the mechanical cage.

The Saiyan Legion entered Destruction Time-Space, where Kakarot and Vegeta fought the Black Flame Skeletonized Being while their warriors battled the surrounding Destruction Creatures. Saine concluded that the Level-12 beings did not cooperate and proposed luring them out and defeating them one by one.

• The Black Flame Skeletonized Being emerged from the Destruction Crystal Tide, and Saine raised its threat level.
• With Locke’s permission, Kakarot, Vegeta, and the Super Saiyan Legion entered the battlefield in their ordinary forms, following Saine’s warning not to transform or fuse.
• Kakarot punched the Black Flame Skeletonized Being backward, while Vegeta attacked its structural weak points and the Saiyan Legion fought the surrounding Destruction Creatures.
• The Saiyan Legion suffered casualties but kept fighting, and Saine observed that Kakarot’s restraint let the Crystal Tide Wrath Beast reach its final sealing stage.
• Saine concluded that the Level-12 beings were drawn by damaged Rule Nodes rather than cooperating, and proposed luring and killing them one by one; Locke accepted the tactic.

Saine’s forces captured the Crystal Tide Wrath Beast alive and used it as a Rule Anchor Point to stabilize the entrance to Destruction Time-Space. The Empty-Faced Burning Monarch awakened in response, forcing the alliance to prepare for a more dangerous battle while the Destruction Supreme remained a looming threat.

• Star Mark sealed the Crystal Tide Wrath Beast in Saine’s mechanical cage with help from Wuzhuo, the Final Silence Gray Seal, and the three War Fortresses.
• Wuzhuo stayed beside the cage to suppress the beast despite suffering severe damage from its counterattack, while Locke recognized its value and Saine credited both his experiments and Wuzhuo’s resilience.
• Saine designated the captured beast a living Rule Anchor Point and kept it in the entrance zone to stabilize the local Destruction Crystal Tide.
• Skynet detected the awakening of the Empty-Faced Burning Monarch, whose threat exceeded the standard Level-12 Peak assessment and whose power could briefly contend with a Level-13 existence.
• Kakarot and Vegeta turned their attention toward the awakened monarch as the allied factions prepared for battle; Locke and Dao Ancestor Hongjun watched from beyond the Bronze Gate.
• Saine ordered Skynet to shift the war plan from vanguard probing to bridgehead consolidation, while Locke sensed that the Destruction Supreme could awaken next.

The Empty-Faced Burning Monarch reached the entrance zone, where its presence destabilized the War Fortresses and drew in the Destruction Crystal Tide. Kakarot challenged it alone, and his attacks briefly disrupted its connection to the phantom black obelisks as Locke watched and Saine recorded the battle.

• The Empty-Faced Burning Monarch’s arrival caused the phantom black obelisks to appear, destabilized the Final Silence Gray Mark Arrays, and damaged the three War Fortresses.
• Saine ordered Skynet to prioritize its observations while Locke watched from beyond the Bronze Gate.
• Kakarot transformed and charged the Empty-Faced Burning Monarch, telling Vegeta to wait to fuse until the Destruction Supreme appeared.
• Kakarot and the Empty-Faced Burning Monarch exchanged blows, with each surviving the other’s attacks and Kakarot sustaining a wound.
• Kakarot struck the Empty-Faced Burning Monarch hard enough to force it half a step back, briefly shaking the connection between it and the phantom black obelisks.
• Saine ordered Skynet to record the obelisks’ changes, while Locke sensed that the Monarch drew part of its power from deep within Destruction Time-Space.

Vegeta and Kakarot continued fighting without revealing their fusion, while Saine studied the sealed Crystal Tide Wrath Beast as a living anchor point. The chapter left Saine balancing its activity against the danger it posed to the War Fortresses, as the battle and experiments continued.

• Kakarot refused to fuse with Vegeta, and Vegeta turned his frustration on the Black Flame Skeletonized Being.
• Vegeta discovered that the Black Flame Skeletonized Being's core briefly weakened when it reconstructed, then pierced its chest during that opening.
• Saine used the sealed Crystal Tide Wrath Beast to test how a living connection to the Destruction Crystal Tide could stabilize the entrance region.
• The beast's struggles contaminated mechanical circuitry, so Saine ordered the system isolated and adjusted the stabilizer model.
• Saine found that Final Silence Gray Seals wore down rapidly in battle and reported their higher-than-expected consumption to Envoy Jimin.
• Ashar and Lilith monitored the experiments, and Lilith warned Saine to keep the Crystal Tide Wrath Beast alive so it could remain an anchor point.

Agulos, Long Ga, and Lian Mo joined the battle in Destruction Time-Space as allied forces expanded their foothold around the three War Fortresses. Saine’s coalition began building a second defensive ring, leaving the war effort more organized but still dangerous and competitive.

• Agulos, Long Ga, and Lian Mo entered Destruction Time-Space with their legions to earn battlefield merits and rewards from Saine’s coalition.
• Agulos attacked a dense tide of destruction beasts, Long Ga defended the second War Fortress from fast-moving creatures, and Lian Mo accepted Saine’s assignment to lure a distant Level-12 fluctuation.
• Eternal Day Time-Space and Limitless Time-Space sent additional legions, with Jin Yi clearing low-level Destruction Creatures and Limitless teams gathering and processing valuable materials.
• The Evil Spirit King watched as his Temple Lords grew closer to Saine, while Locke prioritized securing the entrance zone for the Destruction Divine Kingdom Faction.
• The allied forces expanded the three War Fortress positions into a bridgehead and began constructing a second defensive ring, establishing distinct roles for each faction despite occasional disputes.

Chen Yuan inferred from resource flows that the Destruction Divine Kingdom was attacking an extreme destruction-type time-space, while Saine negotiated with Final Silence Time-Space for supplies and observation data. Saine relayed Lord of Final Silence’s warning that Destruction Time-Space might assimilate Locke, and Locke said he understood.

• Chen Yuan traced resource movements and concluded that the Destruction Divine Kingdom was attacking an extreme destruction-type time-space, then decided to monitor its supply flows more closely.
• Envoy Jimin requested Destruction Time-Space observation data and samples for Final Silence Time-Space, and Saine negotiated for more Final Silence Gray Seals and Ash Crystals.
• Saine and Envoy Jimin arranged a confidential, staged exchange of supplies for Destruction Crystal Tide samples and observation data.
• Envoy Jimin warned Saine that Destruction Time-Space calling for Locke might mean assimilation rather than a gift.
• Saine created a Skynet project to assess assimilation risks and sent the warning to Locke, who replied that he understood.

Saine used the Crystal Tide Wrath Beast to develop tools for stabilizing the Destruction Crystal Tide and capturing other Destruction Creatures, while Bone Saliva endured the deadly battle at an observation tower. Beyond the Bronze Gate, Locke felt Destruction Time-Space calling him toward its increasingly visible throne.

• Saine studied the Crystal Tide Wrath Beast’s Destruction Rule feedback to develop the Crystal Tide Stabilizer and the Destruction Node Capturer.
• Bone Saliva watched the Mechanical and Saiyan legions fight the Destruction Creatures and recognized how deadly the expedition was.
• Bone Saliva led the remnants of its legion to defend an observation tower, suffered serious injuries, and received repairs from a Mechanical Lifeform.
• The legion held the observation tower, but fewer than ten percent of Bone Saliva’s troops survived, and Bone Saliva saw the Mechanical Civilization turn the dead into battlefield models.
• Locke sensed Destruction Time-Space calling him toward its depths and pointed the Spear of Destruction toward the shadow of the throne.

Kakarot fought the Empty-Faced Burning Monarch while Saine discovered that Dark Obelisk Phantoms sustained its armor and attacks. Saine’s forces disrupted that connection, dimming an obelisk phantom and opening the first breach in the enemy’s rule-feedback system.

• Kakarot repeatedly attacked the Empty-Faced Burning Monarch, but the Dark Obelisk Phantoms restored its shattered armor through rule feedback.
• Saine analyzed the connection between the Monarch and the phantoms, then ordered artillery to target the phantoms and deployed Final Silence Gray Marks and Dimension-Severing Cage components to disrupt their links.
• The artillery and gray marks cracked an outer Dark Obelisk Phantom, briefly slowing the Monarch’s recovery and letting Kakarot blast it back for the first time.
• Saine’s forces continued firing until one Dark Obelisk Phantom dimmed, and Saine ordered Skynet to record the damage and map the rule connections.
• Locke watched the battle and considered how destruction might be directed and incorporated into order.

Agulos, Long Ga, and Lian Mo earned battlefield merit while helping defend and expand the Destruction Divine Kingdom Faction’s bridgehead in Destruction Time-Space. Saine’s forces established a foothold, though the expansion cost the lower and middle ranks of the Evil Swamp Legion heavy casualties.

• Agulos killed a level-11 Destruction Creature attacking the transport corridor and sent its crystal-core fragments to Saine’s designated storage zone.
• Long Ga protected a Mechanical Anchor Point from swarming Destruction Creatures, and Saine recorded his achievement in Skynet’s merit sequence.
• Lian Mo lured the Abyss-Scaled Swimming Shadow toward Saine’s trap zone and sent him a guidance route after narrowly escaping its pursuit.
• A new batch of Final Silence Gray Seals reinforced the War Fortresses as allied legions expanded the stable zone into a true bridgehead.
• The expansion secured the faction’s foothold but caused severe casualties among the Evil Swamp Legion’s lower and middle ranks, which Saine recorded for future deployments.

Saine coordinated Vegeta and the War Fortress formations to sever the Dark Obelisk phantoms that were helping Empty-Faced Burning Monarch recover during its battle with Kakarot. The enemy began replacing the phantoms from the Black Flame Spire Cluster, and the Destruction Divine Kingdom Faction continued suppressing it while Saine prioritized locating the cluster.

• Vegeta obeyed Locke's directive and attacked the Dark Obelisk phantoms after Saine identified their links to Empty-Faced Burning Monarch.
• Vegeta's strike disrupted Empty-Faced Burning Monarch long enough for Kakarot to land a heavy blow, while the Monarch retaliated and scorched Vegeta's shoulder.
• Saine ordered Vegeta and the War Fortress formations to time their attacks precisely, destroying several phantoms and slowing Empty-Faced Burning Monarch's recovery.
• Empty-Faced Burning Monarch adjusted its connections, and three replacement phantoms appeared from deeper within the Black Flame Spire Cluster.
• Saine ordered Wall-E to prioritize locating the cluster and instructed the forces to record the replacement cycle and keep suppressing the Monarch.
• Vegeta resumed attacking the new phantoms as Locke watched the Destruction Divine Kingdom Faction maintain control of the battle's rhythm.
