Saine and his allies conquered Ribos World and then fought an exceptionally costly, prolonged war to capture Green God World. After securing the planes’ spoils, they rested and reorganized before continuing their campaign.

• Fumila, Beipeng, and Saine’s forces killed Ribos and his three Lesser Gods, making the occupation of Ribos World swift.
• Saine and his allies spent nearly two years breaching Green God World’s defenses and eleven more years defeating its defenders alongside the Galente Federation garrison.
• Saine accelerated Green God World’s conquest by triggering volcanic eruptions and casting a forbidden spell that darkened the plane for three years.

• Saine used the Magic Cube to absorb law power and metal from the Federation wreckage, and planned to give the two Plant Element godheads to Luluenman.

Saine conducted a body-tempering experiment using Blood-Colored Crystal Diamonds and discovered that Blood Essence could increase fertility. He considered trying to have a child with Lina or others, since Nataya remained unconscious.

• Saine told Yuli that he had ordered several sets of magic puppet components so she and Flame Mark could return to combat.
• Saine absorbed Blood-Colored Crystal Diamonds during a body-tempering experiment, and their effects caused his body temperature and blood energy to rise.

• Saine received a letter from Cuilisi warning him to stay cautious in the Civilization War, along with more than a hundred high-grade potions from Luluenman.
• Saine arranged for the Aliba Merchant Alliance to deliver law springwater and other rare materials to Cuilisi and Luluenman, declining to buy more at the Alliance’s high prices.

• Saine completed Flame Mark’s reconstruction in his war fortress, estimating that her new body could fight at Level 5 with Yuli as her pilot.
• Saine offered to make Flame Mark three subordinate Level-4 magic puppets, but Yuli declined because controlling even one upgraded Flame Mark was already challenging.

Saine set aside his experiments and joined the Tianming Empire’s campaign against the White Cloud Dragon Zhang Plane, a valuable Mid-Level World defended by powerful dragons and Galente Federation forces.

After spotting a familiar-looking fortress outside the plane, he drew the attention of the God of Black Mist, who told Saine that the God of Scorching Wind was below.

• Saine explained that the Tianming Empire could collapse the plane’s Jade Dragon Qi Pillars by striking its external rule nodes, and Gongsun Wudi ordered the surrounding defenses cleared and over twenty Dragon Zun Roars brought in.
• The wounded God of Scorching Wind endured suspicion from local gods and met his friend, the God of Black Dog, at a dangerous white qi pillar.
• The God of Scorching Wind spotted a colossal metal fortress outside the plane that resembled the God of Black Mist’s mount, but he kept his suspicions to himself.
• The God of Black Mist met Saine and reported that the God of Scorching Wind was in the plane below.

Saine helped the God of Black Mist establish a communication channel with the God of Scorching Wind inside the White Cloud Dragon Zhang Plane. The God of Black Mist was tasked with offering the God of Scorching Wind protection and urging other gods to defect, while Saine made clear that their survival was not his concern.

• Saine used a godhead and the Planetary Fortress to help the God of Black Mist establish a stable channel through the Plane Barrier to the God of Scorching Wind.

• The God of Black Mist bowed and left the Planetary Fortress’s Main Control Room.

As the Tianming Empire attacked the White Cloud Dragon Zhang Plane, the God of Scorching Wind and the God of Black Dog sabotaged its defenses from within. Their revolt weakened the plane’s cloud barrier, allowing Saine and Gongsun Wudi to lead separate assaults into the world.

• The Tianming Empire destroyed the surrounding defenses and launched its full-scale assault on the White Cloud Dragon Zhang Plane.
• The God of Scorching Wind recruited the God of Black Dog, and the two agreed to destroy Law Cloud Pillars together.

• The White Jade Dragon King and the Azure Cloud Dragon King sent support to Gongsun Wudi’s front, while only one Level 6 giant mech reached Saine’s forces.

Saine’s forces broke into the White Cloud Dragon Zhang Plane, where Yuli tested the upgraded Flame Mark and Gongsun Wudi’s battle raged against the native dragons. Saine transformed the Planetary Fortress into a towering metal robot and struck down a Level-4 native god with its enormous fist.

• Beipeng, Fumila, Ximen Feixiao, the God of Black Mist, and others charged into the White Cloud Dragon Zhang Plane after breaking its barrier, while Yuli joined the fighting in her upgraded Flame Mark.
• Yuli fired thousands of tracking Element Missiles from the Flame Mark’s wings, producing explosions that overwhelmed the battlefield and swallowed several powerful creatures.

• Saine raised the robot’s right arm and smashed a Level-4 native god beneath its gigantic metal fist.

Saine and the Tianming Empire forces finished crushing the Galente Federation and the White Cloud Dragon Zhang Plane’s defenders. As Wizard Civilization’s allies arrived at the Cosmos Great World, Daoist Duobao announced that more powerful reinforcements were coming directly to the central battlefield.

• Saine’s giant fortress robot defeated a Level-6 Galente Federation mech while Gongsun Wudi subdued the two Dragon Gods and destroyed Federation warships.

• Daoist Duobao told Vivian that Kui Niu was gathering his demon soldiers and that Kui Niu’s two sworn brothers were ready to join the war.
• Vivian told Daoist Duobao to send the two sworn brothers directly to Wizard Civilization’s Central Battlefield.

The Wizard Civilization kept its forces outside the Cosmos Great World and advised Daoist Duobao to defend the surrounding starfield instead of joining the fiercest fighting. As Mokaste’s Minghe Empire army invaded, the Star Cosmos King’s hired allies abandoned him, leaving him to face Mokaste largely alone.

• Level-8 Witch Vivian advised Daoist Duobao to establish defenses at the edge of the starfield and wait for the Minghe Empire’s momentum to weaken, and Daoist Duobao accepted her plan.
• Mokaste led the Minghe Empire’s forces in an assault on the Cosmos Great World while Abaddon fought him and endured repeated heavy blows.
