The Multi-Horned Elk addressed Gongsun Wudi as a "Despairer," a respectful title the creatures of this world used for level-6 peak beings.
After Wudi had blasted the Heaven Swallowing Toad apart with a single punch and decisively killed several particularly unruly level-4 lifeforms, her "authority" had been firmly established.
Below Despairers, there was another title: "Pseudo-Despairer."
It generally referred to ordinary level-6 creatures.
Fortunately, Saine, Fumila, and Gongsun Wudi, who had arrived in this peculiar alternate dimension, all ranked at least as pseudo-despairers.
That meant that even in this unfamiliar alternate dimension, they were still near the top of the food chain.
But great strength did not guarantee absolute safety.
Trapped in this damned world, none of its inhabitants could find any hope of escape. As the years accumulated, more and more creatures developed extraordinarily powerful physiques through the tempering of time.
And their lives of captivity had made the creatures of this world generally extreme and insane.
Fighting was commonplace in this world.
Even Despairers could hardly claim they were certain to survive to the end.
However, Saine did not consider Gongsun Wudi a Despairer. She ought to be one or two tiers above them.
During the Civilization War, Saine had encountered quite a few level-6 peak beings, including his grandmaster Cuilisi, the Alliance powerhouse Piccolo, who had since ascended to become an Overlord, and the level-6 peak mechanic Vikz.
If Saine's grandmaster qualified as a Despairer, then Gongsun Wudi was clearly stronger.
Still, in this camp at the Gate of Penetration, Saine would not rashly reveal too much about his group to the creatures living here. Gongsun Wudi herself was not someone who liked showing off, either.
Aside from the threat posed by other level-6 and level-6 peak beings, another danger of this Despair World lay in its
