Chapter Summaries

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.
