Chapter Summaries

Lina, a Level-4 Black Magician, infiltrated the Galente Federation’s Sabier No. 2 Star Region and carefully hid on Steel Wave Plain while the Federation hunted Wizard Civilization’s agents. Disguised as a Second-Class Citizen named Jim, she arrived in a city during a protest, where her next move remained unknown.

James Bond traveled with Federation forces to investigate the Black Yin Civilization ruins in the Apocalypse Great World starfield, after the Galente Federation learned that Apocalypse Great World officials had concealed their discovery. The Federation prepared to claim the ruins while avoiding an open confrontation with the Apocalypse Dominator, and the chapter ended with Bond’s admiral warning him to keep the ruins’ connection to Apocalypse Civilization hidden.

• The Galente Federation sent James Bond, generals, War Fleets, and an Angel-Type Robot legion to investigate the Black Yin Civilization ruins in the Apocalypse Great World starfield.
• The Federation learned that Apocalypse Great World experts had concealed the ruins and forced two Level-4 scapegoats into front-line service with miniature particle bombs implanted in them.
• The Federation decided not to challenge the Apocalypse Dominator, whose strength and wartime service made an open dispute too costly.
• A Five-Star Admiral praised Bond’s discovery and invited him to join his fleet, but Bond said he would first need Lady Jima’s approval.
• The Five-Star Admiral warned Bond that the Black Yin Civilization ruins could not be linked to Apocalypse Civilization, and Bond acknowledged him.

The Galente Federation sent fleets to explore Black Yin Civilization relics in the Apocalypse Great World starfield and investigate how the civilization had fallen. Its archaeologists discovered a square battleship wreck and identified it as belonging to the Ai Youlan Butterfly Civilization.

• The Galente Federation sent fleets to the Apocalypse Great World to protect and explore Black Yin Civilization relics after Agent James Bond had discovered them.
• Apocalypse Great World beings welcomed the Federation fleet, while Agent Bond helped protect its generals and Fumila accompanied them as an escort.
• The Federation's archaeological team located a third relic in a Blank Star Territory near the Ancient Desert Wasteland World Group.
• Federation archaeologists unearthed the wreck of a nearly four-thousand-meter square battleship inside the relic.
• The archaeologists identified the battleship as a remnant of the Ai Youlan Butterfly Civilization.

The Galente Federation uncovered evidence that the Ai Youlan Butterfly Civilization’s ancient activity centered near the Black Bat Civilization and sent more forces to investigate, prompting Wizard Civilization to reinforce the region as well. Seventeen years after the last battle devastated the Wonderful Plane, the world had begun recovering while becoming a major hub for the growing military buildup.

• Emory told the Galente Federation’s upper echelon that Ai Youlan Butterfly Civilization relics could be more valuable to the Federation than the Black Yin Civilization’s Beast Taming Art.
• The Galente Federation sent reinforcements toward the Apocalypse Great World, disguising their destination while pursuing Ai Youlan Butterfly Civilization ruins near Wizard-controlled starfields.
• Wizard Civilization noticed the Federation’s buildup and sent substantial reinforcements to Saine’s battlefield near the Wonderful Plane.
• Saine observed that the Wonderful Plane had recovered under the Wizard Alliance’s aid, while repeated clashes between Wizard Civilization and the Galente Federation brought more forces and supplies to the region.

Saine continued his body-tempering research while the growing war around the Wonderful Plane brought more powerful fighters and shifted command responsibilities. At the Combat Command, he met Mo Yan, who had arrived with relatives and a reputation for stirring things up after killing two enemy Level-4 lifeforms.

• Saine reflected that reinforcements had brought the battlefield's combat-power balance closer to other fronts, and welcomed the Level-5 mages and knights sharing his command burden.
• Saine and Yuli experimented on a captured Level-4 sea monster whose neurotoxin could stimulate Saine's body-tempering research.
• Saine flew to the Combat Command, where he considered Bai Xing's influence over the Sea Folk and kept Tourmaline away from the frontline battles.
• Mo Yan greeted Saine at the Combat Command after arriving in the starfield four years earlier and gaining fame for helping kill two enemy Level-4 lifeforms.

Saïne caught up with Mo Yan and learned more about his Rank Four dragon cousins, Qixiu and Hanliu, who had joined the Wizard Civilization’s battlefield. Their family came from the distant Immortal Domain Civilization, whose dragons, treasures, and artifact-refinement expertise left Saïne eager to learn more.

• Mo Yan thanked Saïne for a potion and greeted him warmly, while Saïne briefly mentioned his unfinished experiments.
• Saïne examined Mo Yan’s cousins Qixiu and Hanliu, who wielded the Laws of Earth and Fire and had recently arrived from Immortal Domain Civilization.
• Saïne recalled exchanging Gray Crystals for samples of Qixiu and Hanliu’s blood and scales, which the dragons considered a good deal.
• Saïne reflected on how Mo Yan had persuaded his young cousins to join the battlefield, where their strength helped ease the pressure on the front.
• Mo Yan mentioned that the Alibaba Interstellar Merchant Association would soon bring rare resources and hired fighters to the region.
• Qixiu told Saïne about Immortal Domain Civilization’s accomplishments in artifact refinement, deepening Saïne’s desire to visit it.

Saine attended a war-planning meeting, then recruited Mo Yan and his brothers to assist with experiments. As the battle around the Wonderful Plane resumed, Saine studied how Holy Tower legions could amplify a Magician’s Element Power, learning that the technique could raise a Level-4 Magician to the Level-4 Peak.

• Saine let his attention wander during the meeting, but used his Faceless Mask to review Aika Xi’s proposal before praising it and offering supplementary suggestions.
• Bai Xing approved the war plan, and Saine found Mo Yan, Qixiu, and Hanliu approaching Hippolyta; he enlisted the three dragon beasts for experiments so Hippolyta could leave.
• The war against the Galente Federation resumed, and Saine continued studying how Holy Tower Magicians strengthened powerful Magicians on the battlefield.
• Saine examined Chakra’s Dark Wind Holy Tower technique, which let more than twenty thousand Magicians amplify Chakra’s reserves to the Level-4 Peak.

Saine supported the Wizard Civilization legions as their war against Sea Planet and its allies continued, while explaining the Wizard Alliance’s fortifications and Space Fortress policies to Hippolyta. Before either side’s Dominator-level forces arrived, the Alibaba Interstellar Merchant Association entered the battlefield to trade with both sides.

• Saine fought from the rear-middle of the battlefield as Wizard Civilization’s Magic Towers and Space Fortresses helped establish a vast defensive network.
• Saine told Hippolyta that the Wizard Alliance would build fortifications for member worlds and sell them older models of Space Fortresses.
• The battle continued for another year and a half as Sea Planet, Apocalypse Great World legions, and Galente Federation fleets fought Wizard Civilization without either side gaining a clear advantage.
• The Alibaba Interstellar Merchant Association arrived before Dominator-level forces intervened and did business with both Wizard Civilization and the Galente Federation.
• The association sold rare treasures and hired Level-Four-and-above powerhouses, while spending more time near Wizard Civilization’s positions.

Saine bought rare materials from the Aliba Merchant Alliance, including treasures from several Top-Level Civilizations, and received a gift from Tourmaline. His shopping was interrupted by a direct emergency order to support an expedition into the Aiyoulan Butterfly civilization’s Central Ruins, as the Galente Federation also began moving.

• Saine used internal channels through Tourmaline and Mo Yan to buy a Heart of Light and a Doronto Beast Horn from the Aliba Merchant Alliance.
• Tourmaline gave Saine a Thousand Ginseng Grass, which he planned to pass to Lulianman for potion-making.
• Saine spent nearly twenty million Magic Coins’ worth of Energy Crystals and other war gains on rare materials, including gifts for members of his lineage.
• Wizard Civilization’s upper echelons issued Saine and the nearby legions an emergency order to escort specialists exploring the Aiyoulan Butterfly’s Central Ruins.
• The Galente Federation legion on the battlefield made an obvious move as Saine and the others received the order.

Saine and a group of powerful companions prepared to explore the Ai Youlan Butterfly Civilization’s Central Ruins, hidden in a subspace within a contested battlefield. Before departing, Saine met Dexas, a Level-4 Light Giant from the Light Dimension Country Civilization, and learned more about his origins and abilities.

• Wizard Civilization pinpointed the Ai Youlan Butterfly Civilization’s Central Ruins in a subspace within the battlefield where the Ancient Desert Wasteland World held the advantage.
• Saine, Aika Xi, Kalazo, and other Level-5 Creatures were selected for the expedition, while Bai Xing stayed behind to face the Sea Planet Legion.
• Mo Yan persuaded Bai Xing to let him join Saine, bringing his two male cousins; Moon White Tiger Milena was the only other King of Magic Beasts permitted to accompany them.
• Saine met Dexas, a Level-4 Light Giant hired by Bai Xing, and invited him to visit Wizard Civilization’s heartland someday.
• Saine learned that Dexas was a Flesh Creature whose combat form could grow over a thousand meters tall, and Milena said goodbye to him before the expedition departed.

Saine brought his Super Magic Guided Bomb to the Central Ruins of the Ai Youlan Butterfly Civilization and joined Wizard Civilization’s exploration effort. After learning that the ruins’ vast interior remained mostly unexplored and that progress had been difficult, he entered with Aika Xi while Kalazo and Milena stayed outside.

• Saine carried his Super Magic Guided Bomb, capable of severely injuring a Level-6 Creature, from the Space Fortress as one of his trump cards.
• Saine and his companions traveled for nearly half a year from the Wonderful Plane battlefield to the concealed ruins, where they met Wizard Civilization’s stationed forces.
• Saine presented his credentials to Knight Hope and learned that exploration had lasted about a year and a half, with most of the enormous ruins still unexplored.
• Knight Hope said that Howard Master and the other explorers had found the exploration process difficult.
• Saine entered the ruins with Aika Xi, while Kalazo and Milena were ordered to wait outside.

Saine and his companions entered the Central Ruins and crossed its yellow-sand wasteland. There, the ancient robot Wall-E sensed something drawing it east and left its work for the first time in millions of years.

• Saine, Mo Yan, and the others passed through the spatially dangerous entrance to the Central Ruins and flew toward a distant speck in the sands.
• The chapter described Wall-E, an industrial robot that had survived for tens of millions of years by repairing itself and waiting for its master to return.
• Wall-E weathered a sandstorm by sheltering beneath the ruins, then resumed its lonely garbage-processing routine.
• After sensing a mysterious pull from the east, Wall-E left its work and headed toward it, recalling the last time it had done so when it found its Electronic Cockroach pet, Hal.

Saine sensed an unusual tremor from the Magic Cube while visiting the Wizard Civilization’s exploration site in the Central Ruins of the Ai Youlan Butterfly Civilization. He set aside his questions about the anomaly to visit Master Gilbert’s excavation, but the source of the tremor remained unknown.

• Saine felt a faint tremor from the Magic Cube and considered how he might someday upgrade it or fuse its abilities with the Faceless Mask.
• Saine asked a nearby Level-4 Magician whether Master Gilbert and the other researchers were still below, and learned they were investigating a newly identified pit.
• The Wizard Civilization’s explorers had found two small Inert Crystal veins, ancient relics, and evidence linking Gray Crystal to the Ai Youlan Butterfly Civilization.
• Saine learned that invisible energy barriers divided the ruins into separate regions, with magicians using instruments and existing gaps to pass through them.
• Saine dismissed the Level-4 Magician and prepared to descend into the pit, but glanced west again and wondered what had caused the Magic Cube’s tremor.

Saine learned that Gilbert Master and Wei Li were studying an Ai Youlan Butterfly Civilization mineral reserve, while Wizard Civilization’s exploration of the central ruins remained slow and contentious. As Galente Federation forces gathered at the Ancient Desert Wasteland World, James Bond arrived with a team, newly advanced to Level 5 and wearing a World-Class Secret Treasure.

• Wei Li told Saine that Gilbert Master believed the mineral vein had once been an Ai Youlan Butterfly Civilization Energy Crystal reserve, but its damaged fragments had revealed little.
• Saine discussed the risks of forcing open barriers in the central ruins and left the pit with Inert Crystal samples.
• Galente Federation fleets massed at the Ancient Desert Wasteland World after discovering Black Yin Civilization ruins and seeking Ai Youlan Butterfly relics.
• James Bond arrived with his team, having advanced to Level 5 and wearing a specially made Metal Ring that appeared to be a World-Class Secret Treasure.

Bond received a mission to infiltrate the Ai Youlan Butterfly Civilization Central Ruins and find their core database before the Wizard Civilization could. The Galente Federation arranged extensive military support and promised a promotion if he succeeded, while Bond planned to use the Black Yin Civilization remains within the ruins to aid his operation.

• The Five-Star Admiral ordered Bond to reach the Ai Youlan Butterfly Civilization Central Ruins and secure their core database before the Wizard Civilization.
• Bond requested Angel-Type Robot Fumila and a full equipment replenishment for his agent team.
• The Five-Star Admiral assigned two special Mecha Corps and three Night God-class Special Fleets to support Bond, and announced that Marshal Rommel would soon arrive with an Orobos-class War Fleet.
• The Five-Star Admiral promised to recommend Bond for promotion to Three-Star Lieutenant General if he completed the mission.
• Bond explained that Black Yin Civilization remains might still be in the Central Ruins and said he could use their lingering power, gripping the Metal Ring on his wrist.

Saine examined ancient biological remains and Gene Slime from a Black Yin Civilization warship wreck, then considered how to study the substance. The chapter ended with Mo Yan agreeing to taste the Gene Slime as a test subject.

• Saine reflected that specialists like Gilbert, Howard, and Bobulu had modest life levels because their research fields did not directly advance a magician's strength.
• Bobulu showed Saine a preserved, artificially altered giant beast and compared its creation to the Wizard World's Corpse Refinement Synthetic Beasts.
• Saine asked Bobulu for biological specimens and Gene Slime from the ruins, and Bobulu arranged for magicians to bring them.
• Mo Yan followed the Gene Slime's scent and showed an eager interest in drinking it.
• Saine asked Mo Yan to taste the Gene Slime to help test its properties, and Mo Yan readily agreed.

Saine continued researching the ancient Black Yin Civilization’s Gene Slime and improving his Super Magic Guided Bomb while living in the ruins. After a tremor shook the area, Yuli and Flame Mark remained on alert, with Flame Mark’s unexplained sense of being watched still unresolved.

• Over four years in the ruins, Saine worked with the exploration team and, with Gilbert Master’s guidance, raised his Magic Guided Bomb’s energy development to 98.17%.
• Saine gave Mo Yan improved Gene Slime, which enhanced his physique but carried risks of genetic collapse and a berserk state if too much was consumed.
• Mo Yan accepted the genetic modification for himself but refused to let his two cousins undergo it.
• A faint tremor shook Saine’s laboratory, and Saine went outside while Mo Yan fell asleep on the Laboratory Table.
• Saine found Yuli circling overhead in Flame Mark, and the two stayed alert as Flame Mark’s report of being watched remained unexplained.

Saine discovered that the strange presence Flame Mark sensed pointed toward the heart of the Ai Youlan Butterfly Civilization Central Ruins, just as the Galente Federation invaded. The ruins became a flashpoint in the widening war as Bond sent Fumila and over a million Angel-Type Robots inside to search before Wizard Civilization reinforcements arrived.

• Flame Mark told Saine that the feeling of being watched came and went, and Yuli pointed toward the unexplored western region where the Magic Cube had first reacted.
• Howard Master warned Saine that the Galente Federation had invaded the ruins, and Saine spotted two Federation combat units as the distant storm cleared.
• Bond opened a spatial vortex into the ruins while Galente Federation forces began coordinated advances across several fronts and its fleets fought Wizard Civilization forces outside.
• Bond ordered Fumila and over a million Angel-Type Robots to enter the ruins and search for useful information before Wizard Civilization reinforcements arrived.
• The first Galente Federation Mecha Corps units had already engaged Wizard Civilization lifeforms inside the ruins.
