After the war in the Primordial Universe Time-Space, Saine and World-Realm Emperor Monarch clarified the limits of their partnership while arranging deliveries to the affected forces. The chapter leaves the front quiet but unsettled, with both sides rebuilding and watching for a possible wider conflict.

• Saine prioritized replenishing the Mechanical legions and bases in the newly occupied territories while leaving damaged Combat Platforms near the Level-12 clashes unrepaired.
• Ebony requested urgent resources from World-Realm Emperor Monarch, who agreed to split the deliveries according to what was available.
• World-Realm Emperor Monarch told Saine that his trade with Ebony would continue, and the two confirmed that their agreements would not make either side responsible for the other's conflicts.
• Myriad Manifestations Eternal Lord learned that Jin Yi and Darkedge Sword Lord had clashed at Level 12 and worried that a future struggle could draw in Lords of Dimension.
• Saine and Locke made no move to start another war as Saine sent mechanical devices toward both the Primordial Universe Time-Space and the Source-Devouring Time-Space.

Saine and Locke prepared a joint operation to capture the Erosion Abyss Mother Nest, hoping to preserve its breeding structures and use its destruction creatures. As their forces entered the Destruction Time-Space, Locke stood ready to lead the attack himself.

• Saine extracted lingering sword light from a damaged Destruction Mech Soldier and ordered weakened units transferred to the rear.
• Saine recognized the Erosion Abyss Mother Nest in probe footage, and Locke explained that he wanted to capture it as a source of destruction creatures.
• Saine and Locke compared their information and learned that the mother nest had stable connections to the depths of the Destruction Time-Space, where the Destruction Supreme might respond to an attack.
• Saine assembled a smaller force and modified mechanical cages with reconfigurable chains to contain the expanding mother nest.
• The Mechanical Fleet entered the Destruction Time-Space as destruction tides surged, while Locke rose from the Destruction Black Lotus holding the God Slaying Spear.

Locke led the assault on the Erosion Abyss Mother Nest and fought the Destruction Supreme directly, drawing on power from the Destruction Star Zones and Paradise Lost Time-Space. As the battle continued, Saine stabilized the rear and turned the God of Machines toward the Mother Nest.

• Locke passed through the Bronze Gate as destruction forces gathered around him, then led the crystal tide wrath beast and the Hundred-Eyed Chaos Beast in an assault on the Mother Nest.
• Saine coordinated the Mechanical Fleet's advance, but a sudden surge of destruction tide overturned and damaged an engineering platform.
• The Destruction Supreme appeared, and Locke met its attacks with the God Slaying Spear, piercing through its palm and deflecting its next strike.
• Locke drew on origin power from the Destruction Star Zones and Paradise Lost Time-Space to continue fighting, while Saine reinforced the rear nodes and protected the power channels.
• The Empty-Faced Burning Monarch pressed Dark Obelisks against the Mother Nest as the nest tried to force a passage through them.
• Saine turned the God of Machines toward the Mother Nest and spread its Dimension Supreme Treasure-Class Black Wings.

Saine and Locke joined forces to seal and capture the Erosion Abyss Mother Nest while holding off the Destruction Supreme. With the nest secured and the Supreme pushed back, Locke ordered the army to withdraw and regroup.

• The Crystal Tide Wrath Beast, Empty-Faced Burning Monarch, and Hundred-Eyed Chaos Beast attacked the Erosion Abyss Mother Nest as Saine exposed and suppressed the conduits feeding it.
• Saine's Engineering Fleet placed devices and chains around the nest, but the Destruction Supreme renewed its power and broke several connections.
• Locke attacked the Destruction Supreme with the God Slaying Spear and severed a stream of power supporting the nest.
• Saine and the fleet completed the seal, restrained the nest, and began towing it away with its spawning tissue intact.
• With support from Saine and nearby star sectors, Locke met the Supreme's palm and forced its rules body deeper into space.
• Locke ordered the army to pull back and regroup while the Crystal Tide Wrath Beast guarded the fleet towing the nest.

Locke gradually brought the Erosion Abyss Mother Nest under his control, making it the fourth native Level-12 destruction creature in his command. He and Saine then helped Kerrygan begin testing whether the Mother Nest could breed Zerg, but its first reaction to Zerg factor was violent.

• Locke infused the Erosion Abyss Mother Nest with his destruction power while Saine sealed its conduits and cut its links to the Destruction Supreme.
• After decades, Locke's mark reached the Mother Nest's core, and it resisted the Destruction Supreme's origin power instead of trying to reconnect with it.
• Locke loosened the seals, and the Mother Nest moved freely without attacking the Crystal Tide Wrath Beast, confirming it was under his control.
• Kerrygan examined the Mother Nest and asked Saine to isolate an outer section for a Zerg breeding trial.
• Saine sealed off the chosen section as Kerrygan sent a strand of Zerg factor inside, causing the nest wall to contract violently.

Saine and Kerrygan refined Zerg creatures that could withstand Destruction Time-Space, obey swarm commands, and integrate with mechanical components. After centuries of testing and production, Destruction Mech Soldiers reinforced expanding front lines alongside the Zerg swarms.

• Kerrygan and Saine tested unstable Zerg-destructive hybrids, discarded failures, and adjusted the Mother Nest's gestation process.
• Kerrygan selected more suitable Zerg factors as Saine traced problems caused by uncontrolled replenishment of destruction power.
• A stable batch followed Kerrygan's orders in battle, endured crystal tides, and absorbed compatible origin power without turning on its own kind.
• Saine adapted mechanical components to fit the newborn creatures and tested assembled Destruction Mech Soldiers against repeated beast tide assaults.
• Over hundreds of years, Saine expanded production while Kerrygan led an adaptive swarm, and both forces reinforced Locke's battlefronts.

Locke’s legions expanded his control across the Destruction Time-Space, securing the fifth Destruction Star Zone and pushing farther into contested regions. As destruction power throughout his conquered territory began to obey his will, Locke’s Level-13 Mid-Stage bottleneck loosened, and he ordered the legions to hold their positions.

• Saine left the Destruction Time-Space after telling Kerrygan to contact him if anything changed, and the legions continued advancing with the Erosion Abyss Mother Nest’s insect swarms.
• Locke’s forces linked controlled nodes, stabilized them with Mechanical Engineering Platforms, and used the Mother Nest to produce new destruction entities for rear garrisons.
• Locke’s forces secured the fifth Destruction Star Zone and spent the following thousands of years expanding their foothold while resisting counterattacks from the Destruction Supreme.
• Locke found that destruction power in his controlled regions increasingly bore his imprint and responded directly to his will.
• When a dark golden tide threatened a node, Locke used the God Slaying Spear and his destruction flames to suppress it while the Hundred-Eyed Chaos Beast retook the position.
• Locke’s accumulated power loosened his Level-13 Mid-Stage bottleneck, and he ordered the advancing legions to hold their positions before returning toward the Bronze Gate.

Locke absorbed the origin of destruction flowing from the territories he had conquered and broke through to Level-13 Late-Stage, sending ripples through distant time-spaces. As the Destruction Supreme reacted to his advance, Locke prepared to push forward through the Bronze Gate.

• Locke absorbed destruction power through the Destruction Black Lotus, strengthening his connection to the forces under his control.
• Locke shattered the barrier to Level-13 Late-Stage, and his breakthrough spread destruction ripples across the Origin Continent, the Bronze Gate, and distant time-spaces.
• The Myriad Manifestations Eternal Lord, the Lord of Eternal Day, the Dark Nether Death God, and other Lords of Dimension sensed Locke’s growing power and reacted to it.
• Locke returned the God Slaying Spear to his hand as destruction surged toward the front lines and the Destruction Supreme responded to his advancement.
• Locke left his legions in place and sent black-red flames ahead along the path to Destruction Time-Space.

Locke confronted the Destruction Supreme and used his strengthened power and control over nearby origins to withstand its attacks. He forced the Supreme back and captured new territory, though the weakened but still formidable enemy remained ahead.

• Locke ordered the Hundred-Eyed Chaos Beast and Crystal Tide Wrath Beast to withdraw their legions while the Empty-Faced Burning Monarch protected the Mechanical Engineering Platforms.
• Locke battled the Destruction Supreme, breaking its rule attacks and enduring a wound as his destruction flames consumed the foreign origin within it.
• Locke redirected the Supreme's attacks and drew power from the territory he controlled and Paradise Lost Time-Space as the enemy's supply weakened.
• Locke pinned the Supreme's arms with lotus projections and drove the God Slaying Spear into its chest, forcing its rules body backward.
• Locke stopped beyond the former boundary and directed the Empty-Faced Burning Monarch to take the newly captured node as the origin there ceased flowing back to the Destruction Supreme.

After Locke reached Level-13 Late-Stage and forced the Destruction Supreme back, Saine and the Myriad Manifestations Eternal Lord negotiated Luo Heng’s ransom. They agreed on an exchange of rule resources, and Saine prepared to assess Luo Heng before his return.

• Saine learned that Locke had advanced to Level-13 Late-Stage and reviewed records showing the Destruction Legion had reclaimed territory after Locke’s clash with the Destruction Supreme.
• The Myriad Manifestations Eternal Lord asked Saine to settle Luo Heng’s ransom, and Saine agreed to negotiate.
• Saine demanded a large supply of rule resources in exchange for Luo Heng, and the two revised the list and argued over quantities and materials.
• The Myriad Manifestations Eternal Lord examined Luo Heng’s condition and confirmed he remained alive, while Saine agreed to keep laboratory details confidential under a defined contract.
• The two reached final terms, the first batch of resources arrived in Gear Time-Space, and Saine went to begin Luo Heng’s final condition assessment.

Luo Heng was released from Saine’s laboratory under a confidentiality contract and returned to the Myriad Manifestations Eternal Lord, still weakened by years of experiments. After warning that Saine was dangerous beyond his raw power, Luo Heng began recovering while Saine resumed his research and sensed that a breakthrough might be near.

• Saine removed the restraints and experimental devices from Luo Heng, then had him sign a contract requiring him to keep the Mechanical Civilization’s experiments secret.
• Luo Heng left the laboratory without the fragments of the Myriad Phenomena Balance Disk and was handed over to the Myriad Manifestations Eternal Lord at the agreed meeting point.
• The Myriad Manifestations Eternal Lord examined Luo Heng, helped soothe his injuries, and listened as Luo Heng warned him not to treat the Mechanical God Emperor as an ordinary Level-12 Strong Practitioner.
• The Myriad Manifestations Eternal Lord arranged for Luo Heng to recover and reassessed ties with the Destruction Divine Kingdom Faction, adjusting some defenses while continuing resource trades.
• Saine returned to the Central Experimental Cluster, received new materials from Lina, and restarted an experiment as he sensed that a breakthrough was approaching.

After more than a thousand years of experiments and cultivation, Saine refined his control over his Rule True Body and advanced to Level-12 Peak. He stabilized his new power, demonstrated the God of Machines’ increased strength, and ended the chapter speaking with Locke.

• Saine used the resources from the Myriad Manifestations Eternal Lord to resume experiments and gradually gained finer control over his power.
• After another thousand-odd years, Saine entrusted ongoing projects to Little Fox Girl and the laboratory assistants before entering the depths of the laboratory to focus on himself.
• Saine harmonized the powers within his Rule True Body and broke through to Level-12 Peak, releasing a surge of elemental rules through the Central Experimental Cluster.
• Wall-E moved the Engineering Corps away from the perimeter as Saine drew the spreading Ash Fire back under control, while Lina and Little Fox Girl watched from outside.
• After stabilizing his new Rule True Body, Saine merged with the God of Machines and demonstrated power far beyond that of an ordinary Lord of Dimension.
• Locke congratulated Saine over a communication link, and Saine opened the mechanical hand to reveal a wisp of condensed Ash Fire burning in its palm.

The World-Realm Emperor Monarch visited Gear Time-Space, where Saine showed him how diverse civilizations lived and traded under Mechanical Civilization's rule. After the resource delivery, Saine asked him to help test Saine's power, and they prepared to travel to an isolated stretch of space.

• Saine agreed to host the World-Realm Emperor Monarch and arranged to restrict his visit to areas open to outsiders.
• The World-Realm Emperor Monarch arrived through the Cross-Dimensional Channel with the Cosmic Realm Disc and a small contingent to deliver the agreed resources.
• Saine showed the World-Realm Emperor Monarch gear-element life forms, the Green Vine Civilization, and trading districts where different civilizations exchanged resources while maintaining their distinct ways of life.
• The World-Realm Emperor Monarch observed how affiliated civilizations fulfilled obligations in return for protection and continued development.
• After the resources were delivered, Saine asked the World-Realm Emperor Monarch to help test how much power Saine could wield, and they chose an unpopulated stretch of space.

Saine and the World-Realm Emperor Monarch sparred across a devastated starfield, testing how the God of Machines and the Cosmic Realm Disc countered each other's powers. They stopped after learning from the exchange and began discussing the techniques directly.

• The World-Realm Emperor Monarch manipulated space to test Saine's ash fire, prompting Saine to reveal the God of Machines' rule true body.
• Saine and the World-Realm Emperor Monarch traded blows with the Seven-Realm Spear, the Cosmic Realm Disc, mechanical rules, ash flame, and the Wings of Destruction.
• The World-Realm Emperor Monarch adapted his use of lingering momentum after observing how Saine linked successive powers, while Saine studied how his opponent's rule true body controlled space.
• After their sparring altered the nearby starfield, Saine and the World-Realm Emperor Monarch stopped fighting and began discussing the techniques they had observed.

Ebony negotiated with Source-Devouring Time-Space to establish supply depots and escort forces in his territories in Primordial Universe Time-Space, hoping to strengthen his position against Eternal Day Time-Space. The agreement was finalized without a promise of military intervention, and the first contingent began arriving at the selected stronghold.

• Ebony proposed using his strongholds in Primordial Universe Time-Space as storage and transfer sites for trade with Source-Devouring Time-Space, while the Dark Nether Death God refused to involve Dark Universe Time-Space and Duolie reserved judgment.
• The Source-Devouring Progenitor approved supply and escort forces for the arrangement but declined Ebony's request for troops to fight on the Darkness Sword Organization's behalf.
• Ebony negotiated terms that allowed Source-Devouring forces to establish storage facilities and protect supplies without transferring ownership of the selected regions, in exchange for urgently needed rule resources arriving early.
• Ebony ordered the Darkness Sword forces near the delivery area to shift outward but retain key routes and sentry positions, while the Darkedge Sword Lord kept some legions in place.
• Source-Devouring Time-Space prepared a contingent of resource-transfer specialists and the Source-Devouring Beast Legion, and the selected stronghold opened a passage as their bright yellow radiance appeared.

Source-Devouring Time-Space sent a legion and supplies into Primordial Universe Time-Space with Ebony’s invitation, prompting nearby powers to strengthen their defenses and reconsider their ties. The Myriad Manifestations Eternal Lord weighed whether to intervene, but the tangled alliances left the Multiverse’s future uncertain.

• Geduo led the Source-Devouring Time-Space contingent into Primordial Universe Time-Space, where its beasts unsettled nearby traffic and its forces began taking over storage facilities designated by Ebony.
• Jin Yi identified the arriving power as Source-Devouring Time-Space, warned the Lord of Eternal Day, and ordered patrol forces to withdraw while protecting important routes.
• Saine reviewed the arrival with the World-Realm Emperor Monarch, then instructed Locke and the mechanical garrison to monitor the source-devouring forces.
• The Myriad Manifestations Eternal Lord condemned Ebony for inviting the legion, while the Paper Figure Dimension Lord noted that other powers were also trading with Source-Devouring Time-Space.
• The Myriad Manifestations Eternal Lord, the Paper Figure Dimension Lord, and the Myriad Law Thunder Emperor discussed the complicated alliances and forwarded updated garrison and route information to their forces.

The World-Realm Emperor Monarch traveled to Primordial Universe Time-Space to study its dimensional channels and visit the Source-Devouring encampment. As local civilizations pulled back from new dealings with Source-Devouring Time-Space, he ordered Geduo to honor existing deliveries without sending escort legions to their encampments.

• The World-Realm Emperor Monarch obtained public transit records from Saine, discussed their ongoing resource deliveries, and entered a Cross-Dimensional Channel to Primordial Universe Time-Space.
• The Spirit-Seizing Bone Emperor arrived at the Source-Devouring encampment, checked the nearby garrison records, and began organizing the transfer of duties and supplies with Geduo.
• Homeland Civilizations curtailed plans to expand trade with Source-Devouring Time-Space after learning that its forces were increasing, while Ebony dismissed their concerns and focused on the front lines.
• The World-Realm Emperor Monarch observed several Cross-Dimensional Channels and noticed that local civilizations were avoiding the Source-Devouring encampment.
• The World-Realm Emperor Monarch told Geduo to complete agreed deliveries but keep escort legions away from the recipient encampments.

The Darkness Sword Organization launched a counteroffensive against Jin Yi’s forces, but repeated clashes and mechanical fortress fire kept it from reclaiming the vital positions. As Ebony entered the Primordial Universe Time-Space, Saine set out from Gear Time-Space, while a powerful trace of dark energy appeared behind the front.

• The Darkedge Sword Lord attacked the garrisons, and Jin Yi met him at the connection between two positions while Venerable Blazing Day reinforced another front.
• Darkness Sword Organization legions destroyed peripheral installations, but Jin Yi pulled back vulnerable forces and mechanical fortresses helped Venerable Blazing Day reconnect isolated defenders.
• Ebony’s request for the Spirit-Seizing Bone Emperor to move the Source-Devouring Legion forward was refused, as it would exceed their agreement and risk conflict with the Mechanical Civilization.
• Jin Yi’s counterattacks forced the Darkness Sword Organization back, and the injured Darkedge Sword Lord reported that he could not secure the positions with his available forces.
• Ebony arrived at the reception channel, issued new orders to the Darkedge Sword Lord, and entered the channel to the Primordial Universe Time-Space.
• Saine prepared to travel to the Primordial Universe Time-Space, and a trace of dark energy far stronger than the Darkedge Sword Lord’s appeared behind its front.

Ebony wounded Jin Yi and broke through the Frontline Position, forcing the legions to retreat. Saine arrived in Primordial Universe Time-Space and confronted Ebony, while the Lord of Eternal Day prepared to guard against other threats.

• Ebony emerged from the darkness, struck Jin Yi twice, and forced him to retreat after the Lord of Eternal Day’s life-saving power opened a path.
• Jin Yi reached the Mechanical Fortress wounded and ordered Venerable Blazing Day and the nearby legions to fall back as Ebony’s forces broke through the front.
• Saine told the Lord of Eternal Day that he would face Ebony himself, and the Lord agreed to watch for other Emperor Monarchs while reorganizing forces across the front.
• Ebony crushed the defenses of a large Mechanical Fortress, but Saine’s Mechanical Arm caught his dark blade and drove back the surrounding darkness.
• Saine walked toward Ebony and declared himself his opponent, and Ebony redirected his next strike at the God of Machines.
