Saine himself had served as the "Mechanical God-Emperor" in the Mechanical City for tens of thousands of years.
Those creatures he had asked whether they intended to leave with him were naturally old companions who had followed him for many years.
During this process, one thing had to be mentioned: because the Despair World constantly tempered and passively evolved the creatures within it,
most Astral Realm Beings who entered the Despair World were rather "short-lived."
Either they fell in their struggles against other Despairers, or their lifespans ran out over the long years in the Despair World, and they were thoroughly digested here.
"Digested." Yes, Saine felt that this word was exceptionally fitting.
The Despair World was like an organ attached to the Star Realm. All anomalies born alongside the Star Realm would be thrown into the Despair World to be digested.
Thinking carefully about those creatures that had accidentally wandered into the Despair World, had they all experienced supernatural Star Realm phenomena when they first entered?
Saine and Gongsun Wudi had been blasted here by a single shot from the Galente Federation's Civilization Supreme Treasure—the Endless Light.
As for the Despair World Wanderers Saine had studied over the years, their experiences were more or less much the same.
And the many Top-Level Civilization relics scattered throughout the Despair World... perhaps they offered an even more vivid confirmation of the word "digestion."
While enjoying passive evolution rates several times, or even over ten times, faster than in the Star Realm, one naturally also suffered a loss of Life Force and a drastic depletion of lifespan.
After all, the Despair World also followed the most fundamental law of balance.
That lost vitality and depleted lifespan could be regarded as the price of biological cells rapidly metabolizing, transforming, and being reborn anew.
