Chapter Summaries

The Evil Spirit King recognized that Saine’s Node Engineering might help it counter the sleeping Lord of Evil Swamp, strengthening its resolve to remain allied with the Destruction Divine Kingdom Faction. Meanwhile, the Final Silence Observation Corps tested its suppression array against Destruction Crystal Tide as the faction’s withdrawal continued under control.

• The Evil Spirit King watched Locke seize authority over a Destruction Star Zone and realized Saine’s Node Engineering might be adapted against the Lord of Evil Swamp.
• The Evil Spirit King told Saine it had thought of Evil Swamp Time-Space, and Saine confirmed that Node Engineering could serve as a reference despite the differences between the two time-spaces.
• The Evil Spirit King resolved to deepen its alliance with the Destruction Divine Kingdom Faction, even if doing so required more legions, resources, or internal authority.
• The Final Silence Observation Corps tested its Gray Mark Array on a Dark Golden Destruction Crystal Tide, and Saine’s Mechanical Civilization added Destruction Noise Cancellers to improve suppression.
• Locke, Hongjun, the Limitless Golden Emperor, the Lord of Eternal Day, the God of Creation, and the Evil Spirit King obstructed the Destruction Supreme as the withdrawal continued.

Saine assessed the destruction crystals at the Bronze Gate and the five level-12 destruction creatures sealed within Destruction Time-Space, planning to turn them into a network of rule nodes for the Destruction Divine Kingdom Faction’s bridgehead. As the withdrawal continued, the Magic Cube absorbed data on destruction, creation, and machinery, and Saine realized Cube Time-Space might fundamentally transform and bring his true body’s next advancement within reach.

• Saine found destruction crystals seeping through the Bronze Gate and sealed one as a sample, recognizing the gate as a barricade containing Destruction Time-Space.
• Saine reviewed the five sealed level-12 nodes—the Crystal Tide Wrath Beast, Hundred-Eyed Chaos Beast, Empty-Faced Burning Monarch, Silent Wheel Burier, and Ash Sea Singer—and the Black Flame Skeletonized Being’s remains.
• Saine and Locke chose to keep the five nodes within Locke’s controlled Star Sector, where they could stabilize a bridgehead and restrain the Destruction Supreme.
• Locke planned to extend his authority through the five nodes, while Saine prepared new experiments involving Destruction Mech Soldiers, the Realm-Suppressing Ring, and other battle data.
• The Magic Cube rapidly absorbed data on destruction, creation, and machinery, leading Saine to anticipate a fundamental transformation of Cube Time-Space and his true body’s next advancement.

After securing major gains in Destruction Time-Space, the Destruction Divine Kingdom Faction withdrew through the Bronze Gate while leaving its foothold intact. Saine and Locke learned that Myriad Phenomena Balance Master Chen Yuan was considering attacks on their allies and trade routes, and began preparing to lure his forces into a counterattack.

• The Destruction Divine Kingdom Faction withdrew in an orderly fashion, retaining its occupied Star Sector, five sealed Destruction nodes, and other footholds in Destruction Time-Space.
• Saine organized the spoils of war and received Great Black Heaven’s intelligence that Myriad Phenomena Balance Master Chen Yuan was gathering Lords of Dimension to consider attacks on Demon Cave Time-Space, Light Universe Time-Space, or Gear Time-Space’s trade routes.
• Locke and Saine assessed that the faction’s forces remained capable despite their recent war and agreed to let Chen Yuan’s allies continue debating their target.
• Saine ordered false troop-movement information released, the Creation God’s new power concealed, vulnerable-looking trade-route nodes left exposed, and the true counterattack force hidden between Demon Cave Time-Space and Light Universe Time-Space.

Chen Yuan misjudged the Destruction Divine Kingdom Faction as still trapped and weakened in Destruction Time-Space, unaware that Locke and Saine had already secured major victories. As Chen Yuan sent Luo Heng to probe Demon Cave Time-Space, Saine learned of the move and prepared to exploit it.

• Chen Yuan read the balance of the Multiverse and concluded that the Destruction Divine Kingdom Faction remained occupied and had likely suffered heavy losses.

• Chen Yuan dispatched Luo Heng and allied legions to probe Demon Cave Time-Space and test the Destruction Divine Kingdom Faction's defenses.
• Great Black Heaven relayed Luo Heng's route to Saine, while mechanical starports on Demon Cave Time-Space's outskirts dimmed their lights to conceal their readiness.

Luo Heng led the Myriad Phenomena Vanguard Legion into Demon Cave Time-Space, where Saine’s forces trapped them in a carefully prepared ambush. The assault overwhelmed Luo Heng’s defenses, leaving his Rule True Body badly injured and the vanguard in chaos.

• Luo Heng noticed that Demon Cave Time-Space’s weak-looking defenses felt unnaturally balanced, but he pressed forward with his army.
• Luo Heng used his Balance Rules to coordinate the supporting legions and push through the Stein Empire’s opening artillery fire.
• Mechanical folding fortresses, Evil Tide fleets, and the Devil Moon Civilization revealed themselves and closed off the vanguard’s routes.
• The Jinyue Witch disrupted Luo Heng’s balancing calculations while Wuzhuo, Blue-eyed Octopus, Agulos, and Long Ga attacked him from multiple directions.
• The allied forces broke the vanguard into isolated battlefields, and repeated blows shattered several mirror shards in Luo Heng’s Rule True Body.

Chen Yuan and four other Lords of Dimension entered Demon Cave Time-Space to rescue Luo Heng and confront the Destruction Divine Kingdom Faction. Locke appeared as the battlefield filled with onlookers, and Kakarot charged in before the two sides could speak.

• Chen Yuan received Luo Heng's fragmented plea for aid and sent his Rule True Body toward Demon Cave Time-Space, while the Myriad Law Thunder Emperor followed.
• Ebony suspected a traitor had revealed their plans to Saine, but he and the other Lords of Dimension entered the battle to support their trapped legions.
• Chen Yuan stabilized Luo Heng instead of attempting a direct rescue as the five Lords of Dimension's arrival triggered widespread collapses around Demon Cave Time-Space.
• Luojia and the Paper Figure Dimension Lord watched from outside the battlefield while powerful figures across the Multiverse observed the confrontation.
• Locke's Rule True Body appeared in Demon Cave Time-Space, and Kakarot charged into battle before Locke and Chen Yuan spoke.

• As Saine continued studying Chen Yuan’s rules, his Soul of Truth resonated and revealed the barrier between Level-12 Mid-Stage and Level-12 Late-Stage.

Saine reached Level-12 Late-Stage during the battle in Demon Cave Time-Space after studying Chen Yuan’s Balance Rules and integrating his accumulated Truth Arcana. His breakthrough empowered Magic Cube Time-Space and the Mechanical Civilization, and he used his new understanding to strike Chen Yuan’s Balance Chessboard.

• Saine observed Chen Yuan’s Balance Rules in battle and connected them with the laws and Truth Arcana he had studied across multiple dimensions.
• Saine’s Soul of Truth awakened, Magic Cube Time-Space reorganized, and he advanced to Level-12 Late-Stage as Skynet and the Mechanical Civilization received his breakthrough’s feedback.

• Saine’s punch disrupted the Myriad Phenomena Balance Disk, cracked the edge of Chen Yuan’s chessboard, and forced Chen Yuan to take a step back.

Kakarot shattered one corner of Chen Yuan’s Myriad Phenomena Balance Disk phantom, while Saine seized fragments of its rules for the Mechanical Civilization to study. Chen Yuan began spreading the battlefield’s weight to cover his retreat, as Luo Heng’s battle deteriorated toward a sealing.

• Kakarot sensed Chen Yuan’s hesitation and struck through Saine’s suppression of the Myriad Phenomena Balance Disk.

• Chen Yuan spread the battlefield’s weight across nearby Shattered Star Sectors as he prepared to retreat after his operation failed.
• Saine saw that Wuzhuo and the others had torn apart Luo Heng’s Rule True Body and were preparing to seal him.

Luo Heng was overwhelmed by the Mechanical Civilization’s coordinated forces and sealed alive, giving Saine a valuable specimen of balance rules. Seeing the wider battle turn against him, Chen Yuan recognized that he could no longer continue the fight.

• Luo Heng struggled against Wuzhuo, Blue-eyed Octopus, Jinyue Witch, Agulos, and Long Ga as Skynet coordinated their attacks and exploited his attempts to retreat.
• Storm Dragon Balhaine arrived and disrupted the retreat route Luo Heng had stabilized around the battlefield nodes.
• Saine deployed final silence radiance, Destruction Noise Cancellers, and Skynet’s blockade coordinates to restrict Luo Heng’s movements.
• Wuzhuo, Blue-eyed Octopus, and Jinyue Witch suppressed Luo Heng’s remaining nodes while the Mechanical Blockade Array sealed his mirror fragments in a metal cage.
• Chen Yuan watched Luo Heng’s capture and realized the battle could not continue as the opposing forces held the advantage.

The Dark Nether Death God was forced to retreat from the Demon Cave Time-Space after the Creation God and Evil Spirit King wounded him, leaving the Myriad Phenomena Community’s forces shaken.

• Saine kept Great Black Heaven’s spy line hidden, while the Myriad Phenomena Community’s internal divisions deepened.

The Myriad Law Thunder Emperor unleashed his lightning arsenal against Dao Ancestor Hongjun, whose Great Dao ripples redirected and dismantled much of the attack even as he was injured. Elsewhere, Vegeta overwhelmed the stronger Thunder Prison Heavenly Lord Tingjin, and Heavenly Crown Emperor Monarch Luojia grew more uncertain after witnessing the allied powerhouses’ strength.

• The Myriad Law Thunder Emperor attacked Hongjun with Myriad Law Lightning, but Hongjun’s sword and Great Dao ripples divided and dispersed its force.
• The Myriad Law Thunder Emperor summoned his thunder-domain projection and unleashed Myriad Law Thunder Burial, injuring Hongjun as Hongjun began reading his lightning.

The Destruction Divine Kingdom Faction defeated the Myriad Phenomena Community’s assault in Demon Cave Time-Space, and Locke’s spear strike forced Chen Yuan and the other Lords of Dimension to retreat. After the battle, Saine received a new trade proposal from Final Silence Time-Space and considered designing a civilization-level noise-reduction system.

• Heavenly Crown Emperor Monarch Luojia stayed outside the battle, while the Paper Figure Dimension Lord used Two-Dimensional Folding to rescue Jialuojin from the battlefield.

After the defeat in Demon Cave Time-Space, Chen Yuan and the Myriad Phenomena Community mourned their losses and investigated how the Destruction Divine Kingdom Faction had anticipated their moves. As suspicion spread through the Community, the Paper Figure Dimension Lord’s intervention offered a sign of outside support, but the Community’s unity continued to fracture.

• Chen Yuan returned to Myriad Phenomena Time-Space with a damaged Myriad Phenomena Balance Disk, while Luo Heng remained sealed in enemy hands.
• Ebony argued that the Destruction Divine Kingdom Faction had received inside intelligence, and Chen Yuan ordered an investigation into high-ranking members involved in the operation.
• Great Black Heaven came under suspicion, while false leads from Saine shifted attention toward a Level-11 captive from Qisha Time-Space and angered Duolie.

Locke remained in Paradise Lost Time-Space, assimilating his gains while his destruction will slowly contested the Destruction Supreme for control of a Star Sector beyond the Bronze Gate. The Destruction Supreme continued attacking the passage, but Locke’s roots in Destruction Time-Space held, leaving a long struggle over authority underway.

• Locke meditated on the Destruction Black Lotus in Paradise Lost while his destruction will crossed the Bronze Gate and anchored itself in the Star Sector he had seized.
• The Destruction Supreme repeatedly battered the Bronze Gate with destruction crystal tides, while the Ancient Tree of the Moon and safeguards left by the Despair Matriarch, the Alarm Clock Girl, and Saine helped stabilize the passage.
• Locke slowly extended his influence through the sealed rule nodes holding the Crystal Tide Wrath Beast, Hundred-Eyed Chaos Beast, Empty-Faced Burning Monarch, Silent Wheel Burier, and Ash Sea Singer.

• Saine stationed a Mechanical Civilization observation squad outside the Bronze Gate to record its changes and send data to the Central Truth Experiment Complex in Gear Time-Space.
• Locke continued his patient contest with the Destruction Supreme as it remained unable to cross the Bronze Gate.

The major powers entered a tense new cold war, rebuilding their forces and competing through trade, surveillance, and quiet military adjustments. As Saine investigated Dao Ancestor Hongjun’s disappearance, he suspected Hongjun had ventured into unexplored dimensional routes to seek a path for future Immortal Domain ascendants.

• The Destruction Divine Kingdom Faction and the Myriad Phenomena Community paused their fighting, and the Multiverse settled into a cold war without a formal armistice.

• Salamander Gray observed that the postwar resource reshuffling brought prosperity to Bewilderment Time-Space, though he feared the region could not withstand a full Dimension War.
• Saine noticed that Dao Ancestor Hongjun had been missing for more than a thousand years, and Xunyangzi and Duan Ning did not know where he had gone.
• Saine suspected Hongjun had entered an unexplored Space-Time Window to investigate routes that future Immortal Domain powerhouses might use to ascend.

After returning to Evil Swamp Time-Space, the Evil Spirit King crushed rebellions and asked Saine to help him expand his authority through the Evil Swamp Nodes Project. Across the Destruction Divine Kingdom Faction, civilizations used the postwar calm to develop their industries, trade, and defenses, while preparations for future conflict continued.

• The Evil Spirit King suppressed rebellions backed by Heavenly Wing Demon Lord and Yilan, then began considering how to seize more authority over Evil Swamp Time-Space.
• The Evil Spirit King contacted Saine about the Evil Swamp Nodes Project, and Saine proposed studying low-risk peripheral nodes without disturbing the Lord of Evil Swamp.
