Chapter Summaries

Saine and the Mechanical Fleet were trapped by the Rift-Splitting Emperor Monarch’s false passages while the Source-Devouring forces pursued them. With the Lord of Ancient Azure’s help, Saine found an original route and forced it open, leaving the fleet’s escape possible as Destruction Demon God Locke appeared beyond it.

• The Rift-Splitting Emperor Monarch used the Dimension-Rending Shuttle and Boundary-Fixing Heavenly Disc to confuse the passages and prevent the Mechanical Fleet from escaping.
• Kakarot attacked the two pursuing Level-12 Source-Devouring Ancient Emperors, while the Saiyan Legion and Destruction Legion fought the Beast Tide behind the fleet.
• The Lord of Ancient Azure sent a faint fluctuation that led Saine to an original route the Rift-Splitting Emperor Monarch could not freely redirect.
• Saine fought the Rift-Splitting Emperor Monarch, breaking through his spatial defenses and forcing him aside with the God of Machines.
• Saine opened the original route, and Destruction Demon God Locke’s silhouette appeared beyond it as the Source-Devouring Progenitor’s descent drew near.

Saine, Kakarot, and the evacuation fleet escaped the collapsing Primal Source Pasture with Locke’s help, bringing the rescued civilizations and valuable relics to Primordial Universe Time-Space. The Source-Devouring Progenitor then suspected the World-Realm Emperor Monarch had quietly helped make the evacuation possible, while the Emperor Monarch watched the still-open passage from afar.

• Locke’s Destruction Spear Shadow delayed the Rift-Splitting Emperor Monarch, allowing Saine and Kakarot to lead the last forces through the original route.
• Kakarot and the God of Machines held back the Source-Devouring Progenitor’s immense tide long enough for the evacuation, and Skynet destroyed the route’s remaining nodes after they escaped.
• Locke stabilized the passage in Primordial Universe Time-Space as Saine treated Kakarot and the evacuated civilizations emerged; Helan carried the Lord of Ancient Azure’s memory tablets.
• Saine reported that all six Civilization Fire Seeds and several major relics had been secured, while the God of Machines revealed bright yellow crystals taken from the Source-Devouring Progenitor’s power.
• The Source-Devouring Progenitor questioned whether the World-Realm Emperor Monarch had aided the evacuation, while the Emperor Monarch calmly watched the passage from the far side of Source-Devouring Time-Space.

After the six civilizations escaped the Primal Source Pasture, the Mechanical Civilization secured its spoils and began repairing its losses. Saine returned to Gear Time-Space, where he rested before studying the Lord of Ancient Azure’s remains, while the rescued civilizations began settling into new worlds.

• The Mechanical Civilization stripped Source-Devouring residue from the God of Machines, secured the expedition’s spoils, and sent Kakarot to recover.
• Kakarot told Locke that fighting the Source-Devouring Progenitor had revealed a higher Life Barrier, then returned to Paradise Lost to restore his Life Source Power.
• Saine returned to Gear Time-Space, where Lina, Natalia, Luna, and Luluman checked on him and Luluman persuaded him to postpone examining the Lord of Ancient Azure’s remains.
• Saine shared the Lord of Ancient Azure’s final concern for the civilizations he had once protected, and the group spent the day together instead of starting experiments.
• The Star Tomb Civilization signed a vassal contract with the Mechanical Civilization, while the other rescued civilizations joined the Lost World Alliance’s resettlement system.
• After decades of safety near the Mechanical Fleet, the exiled creatures began settling on their new worlds as dormant coordinates across distant time-spaces lit up.

The Source-Devouring Progenitor confronted the World-Realm Emperor Monarch over giving Saine a passage mark to the Primal Source Pasture, then ordered a purge of the Lost World Alliance. After warning Saine that the deal had been exposed, the World-Realm Emperor Monarch severed their secret connection.

• The Source-Devouring Progenitor showed the World-Realm Emperor Monarch the Primal Source Pasture’s fall and questioned why he had given Saine a passage mark.
• The World-Realm Emperor Monarch argued that Source-Devouring Time-Space needed to change and could use Saine’s abilities to examine its old experiments, though the Source-Devouring Progenitor rejected his influence.
• The Source-Devouring Progenitor demanded that the World-Realm Emperor Monarch retrieve the core experimental results and stop giving Saine unauthorized assistance; the World-Realm Emperor Monarch agreed to handle the matter.
• The Source-Devouring Progenitor ordered the exposed Lost World Alliance nodes purged, and several Emperor Monarchs mobilized fleets, Mother Nests, and resources to carry out the campaign.
• The World-Realm Emperor Monarch sent Saine a brief warning that the Primal Source Pasture deal had been exposed and told him to protect what he had obtained, then severed their connection.

Saine and his allies examined the Lord of Ancient Azure’s remains and recovered memories revealing how the Source-Devouring Progenitor’s failed attempts to divide his authority led to the Emperor Monarch system. After hundreds of years, the Ancient Azure Stone Steles revealed a map of pastures and Remnant Realm coordinates, but one coordinate suddenly went dark as its life signals vanished.

• Luluman and Saine established that the Lord of Ancient Azure’s will remained dormant in his body, and they used an Ancient Azure Stone Stele to recover coherent memories.
• Saine learned that the Source-Devouring Progenitor’s early vessels lost control or stagnated, so he eventually relied on Emperor Monarchs retaining their independent wills to bear Mother Time-Space’s authority.
• Helan learned what the Lord of Ancient Azure had endured, while Saine explained that the emperor monarch system followed dozens of adjustments to balance authority with personal will.
• The Pasture-Realm Ancient Emperor reacted to the experiments, but the Civilization Noise Suppressor forced its Source-Devouring Beast Core back into silence.
• Several hundred years later, the awakened memories formed a star map of Source-Devouring Pastures and Remnant Realm coordinates, and one coordinate went dark as its life signals disappeared.

The Lost World Alliance established Ancient Azure Star Harbor as a permanent headquarters, where the Mechanical Civilization and its vassals helped the exiled civilizations rebuild their home. As the survivors restored their settlements and organized their forces, the Lord of Ancient Azure saw them gain a new home and fell dormant again.

• Helan confirmed that the Twilight Wall Civilization’s coordinates had gone dark, and the Lost World Alliance’s leaders agreed to establish a permanent headquarters.
• Saine allocated a transit hub in the former Darkness Sword Organization’s territory, and the Alliance named it Ancient Azure Star Harbor.
• The Mechanical Civilization, Wojin, and the Alliance’s vassals began constructing the harbor, registering resources, purifying corruption, and restoring its settlements.
• Bing Xin inspected the harbor’s defenses and left an ice incarnation, while Luluman and Saine worked to restore the settlement worlds’ ecosystems.
• Miluo contacted civilizations still in exile, Atar integrated the Alliance’s legions, and Helan established a Civilization Archives repository at the harbor.
• The Lord of Ancient Azure saw the civilizations begin to rebuild their home and fell dormant after the first new plants spread across the settlement worlds.

Saine and the Lost World Alliance launched a major rescue operation for exiled civilizations while preparing Ancient Azure Star Harbor to receive vast numbers of survivors. The first two passageways held, but the World-Devouring Emperor Monarch appeared at the largest reception coordinate.

• Saine and Skynet selected three reception coordinates and coordinated the Mechanical, Star Tomb, Flame, Remnant Star, Gear Element, Water Mirror, and Green Vine Civilizations to support the rescue.
• Luluman prepared Ancient Azure Star Harbor to receive survivors and gave Saine a life-filled seed before he departed.
• Saine assigned Natalia and Luna to guard evacuation routes in Primordial Universe Time-Space, while Locke sent Destruction Legion forces to protect passages from high-ranking attackers.
• The World-Realm Emperor Monarch warned Saine that the purge had been ordered by the Progenitor, but Saine continued the operation.
• Natalia destroyed a Source-Devouring tentacle attacking the second passage, and Luna helped seal it while the Mechanical Engineering Legion repaired the passage.
• Skynet detected a massive rule fluctuation at the third reception coordinate, where the World-Devouring Emperor Monarch appeared.

Saine’s God of Machines confronted the World-Devouring Emperor Monarch at the third passage while exiled civilizations continued evacuating from the Sunken Star Remnant Domain. The two rulers exchanged attacks, and as the passage’s defenses weakened, their legions began fighting around it.

• Bright yellow veins spread from the World-Devouring Emperor Monarch’s maw, corroding the third passage as the Mechanical Civilization’s forces tried to isolate it.
• Saine brought the God of Machines through the passage and burned the invading veins with Ash Fire, keeping the migration fleets behind him.
• The World-Devouring Emperor Monarch demanded the Pasture-Realm Ancient Emperor, the Myriad Pastures Source Disc, the Source-Devouring Mother Nest, and the Rule records; Saine answered with a punch.
• The World-Devouring Emperor Monarch’s Myriad-Origin Heaven-Devouring Ring absorbed and returned the God of Machines’ attacks as both sides studied each other’s powers.
• The World-Devouring Emperor Monarch tried to circle the passage, but Saine blocked him; their clashes damaged the Sunken Star Remnant Domain and destroyed two spatial base stations.
• The World-Devouring Emperor Monarch summoned Source-Devouring Beast Legions as Mechanical Civilization War Fortresses deployed, and their lower-tier forces began fighting.

The Mechanical Civilization and the exiled civilizations fought to protect survivors evacuating through the third reception passage, while screening migrants to prevent source-devouring marks from revealing the Primordial Universe Time-Space. As nearly half the fleet escaped, the World-Hunting Ancient Emperor arrived and immobilized several approaching survivor fleets.

• Low-level Source-Devouring Beasts attacked a migration ship, and a Mechanical Squad sacrificed most of its units to shield the survivors.
• The Mechanical Legion, Gear Element Civilization, and other civilizations joined forces to fight the advancing beasts, protect wounded inhabitants, and open routes toward the passage.
• A level-four legion destroyed its home plane to block the beasts with Rule Turbulence before joining the retreat.
• Skynet discovered that source-devouring marks on wounded migrants were guiding attacks, so the civilizations screened evacuees and removed or contained contamination.
• When nearly half the migration fleet had evacuated, the World-Hunting Ancient Emperor arrived and used a grayish-white chain to immobilize several survivor fleets.
