The Lord of Ashes

The battles on the interdimensional battlefield are still escalating.

The fact that both ultimate civilizations can produce things like Mechanical Dragon Howl Demon Ancestors and One-Eyed Demon Ancestor/Echo Lord corpses is enough to show how crazy these two civilizations have become in order to win the interdimensional hegemony.

Sai'en himself was not affected by the increasingly fierce interdimensional war, but continued to immerse himself in his experiments.

Truth experiments are something that cannot be rushed.

No matter how intense the front-line battles of the Demon Tide civilization are, even if the sky falls, Sai'en has to perfect his truth research before anything else.

It would be a disgrace to Sai'en's face as a True Spirit mage to put out a half-finished or flawed experiment.

Sai'en is still proceeding with his various truth researches at his own pace. Before long, Supreme Youhuang actually came to Sai'en's experimental base cluster in person.

He first looked at Sai'en's Sky-Based Star Destroyer and the Source Energy City manufacturing factory with great emotion, and then looked at the Mechanical Dragon Howl Demon Ancestor and other mechanical dominators, wondering what he was thinking.

When Sai'en finally walked out from the depths of the experimental base, Supreme Youhuang finally talked about the main business and took out the Source Tracing Stone.

"This Source Tracing Stone is also deeply connected to the interdimensional hegemony that our Demon Tide civilization is currently engaged in."

"However, since you, Sai'en, have requested to study it, our Demon Tide civilization should try its best to meet your needs," Supreme Youhuang said.

Sai'en nodded and took the oval-shaped, dazzling crystal that Supreme Youhuang handed over, with faint colored light of rules emanating from within.

As Sai'en couldn't help but observe the Source Tracing Stone in his hand, Supreme Youhuang continued, "With your Mechanical God's strength, you now possess the battle power of a quasi-Rank 9."

"If you add the Sky-Based Star Destroyer and the complete Source Energy City, you will definitely be able to go further."

"Even just a single addition would be remarkable."

"If both are integrated…"

"Are you ready to advance your Mechanical God to Rank 9?" Supreme Youhuang asked bluntly.

This is the interdimensional battlefield of the Shimmering Time Retracing World. Because of the different rules and environment, even the Star Realm's will finds it difficult to interfere here, so some sensitive things can be discussed frankly here.

The Demon Tide civilization first dominated the Star Realm, then engaged in interdimensional hegemony, and now it seems that they are not afraid of anything and do not care about anything.

Even sensitive words like advancing to Rank 9 can be discussed openly.

Sai'en glanced at Supreme Youhuang in front of him, diverting his attention from the Source Tracing Stone in his hand, but he still didn't say anything immediately.

Supreme Youhuang continued, "Once your Mechanical God advances to Rank 9, although I don't know what impact it will have on you, your mechanical civilization will definitely rise to the level of a top civilization."

"At that time, it would be fine if the Demon Tide War has not ended."

"Because the intensity of the interdimensional hegemony in the Shimmering Time Retracing World is enough to support the participation of top civilizations without being affected by the backlash of the rules."

"But if, at that time, our Demon Tide civilization's interdimensional hegemony with the Decayed Civilization has ended… you should carefully consider the consequences if you enter special alternate timelines such as the Shimmering Time Retracing World again in the future," Supreme Youhuang said meaningfully.

"Especially your mechanical civilization, it seems that the vast majority of them stay directly in the magic cube, and often act with you," Supreme Youhuang said.

Sai'en's mind was so sharp that he immediately understood the meaning of Supreme Youhuang's words.

And Supreme Youhuang was also saying so much to Sai'en because he was his son-in-law.

As a Demon Tide Supreme who has studied interdimensional hegemony for countless years, Supreme Youhuang's insights and understanding in this regard are indeed deeper than Sai'en's.

Sai'en nodded upon hearing this and replied, "I will pay attention to it in the future."

Supreme Youhuang nodded slightly. He sighed and continued, "That child, Ziyou, seems to have already set her mind on you."

"No matter what the final result of the interdimensional hegemony is, I hope to entrust her to you."

"Even if our Demon Tide civilization ultimately wins the interdimensional war and goes to higher-dimensional timelines, it may not be a good place."

"On the other hand, you… I believe Ziyou will be happier with you," Supreme Youhuang said, looking at Sai'en.

Supreme Youhuang completely entrusted Ziyou to Sai'en, which can be regarded as fulfilling all the responsibilities of an old father.

That's right, even if the Demon Tide civilization wins the interdimensional hegemony, with their civilization's attributes, they are likely to go to an extreme attribute timeline.

Unlike Sai'en, although he also possesses the extreme Ash mysteries, in recent years, Sai'en has obviously put more energy into the path of mechanics.

Mechanical mysteries are obviously much gentler than the power of Ash and the power of the Demon Tide.

"Other higher-dimensional timelines… if the time is consistent, according to the balance rule mechanism, establishing contact between different higher dimensions should be even easier than cross-time contact," Sai'en said.

"Do you think higher dimensions also follow the balance rule?" Supreme Youhuang asked curiously, "The rules of the timeline we are currently in are actually the Star Realm's rules."

Sai'en replied, "The rules of higher-dimensional timelines are indeed not the Star Realm's rules. The cost of breaking the balance there is much smaller than here. But I believe that in higher-dimensional timelines, there is also a corresponding set of rules in operation."

"Perhaps many Rank 9 creatures are not clear about what rules those unfamiliar timelines have, and can only venture out on their own."

"But based on the cornerstone system that constitutes a dimensional timeline, no matter what special rules those higher-dimensional timelines specifically follow, some rules may be extremely extreme, and some rules may be relatively peaceful."

"But there must be some kind of 'balance' between these rules."

"Because if even the basic balance cannot be maintained, whether that timeline exists is a paradox."

"Extreme attribute timelines are not necessarily all crises."

"In fact, the main thing to look at is whether one can adapt to the rule environment of those timelines," Sai'en said meaningfully.

Supreme Youhuang's visit this time was clearly to send Sai'en the Source Tracing Stone and to give Sai'en pointers and reminders.

Unexpectedly, Supreme Youhuang instead gained a lot from Sai'en here.

Faced with Sai'en's insinuation, Supreme Youhuang then fell into a long period of contemplation and thought.
