"Only five hundred thousand years?"
A rare trace of surprise appeared in Saine's voice.
Even in high-latitude time-space, five hundred thousand years was no small span.
But when applied to the Decayed Civilization, that timeline was clearly wrong!
Based on the time node when Saine had come into contact with the Decayed Civilization in the Material Star Realm back then, as well as the course the Dimensional Hegemony should originally have taken on that timeline, if Emperor Chenlun and the others had launched the war ahead of schedule and successfully ascended in dimension, the time at which they arrived at the Higher Dimensional Plane should have been at least several million years earlier.
Even tens of millions of years would not have been strange!
Yet the true length of time the Decayed Civilization had been here was only a little over five hundred thousand years.
Compared with the Mechanical Civilization's arrival in Light Universe Time-Space, the difference between the two sides was only about four hundred thousand years.
Differences in Time Flow Rate naturally existed between the various dimensional planes.
But changes in flow rate alone could not explain such an exaggerated time displacement.
"It seems the backlash of time you suffered back then was even more serious than I imagined," Saine said in a grave voice.
Hearing this, Emperor Chenlun did not refute him.
He had held similar suspicions over these years as well.
By launching the Dimensional Hegemony ahead of schedule, the Decayed Civilization had changed not only its own fate, but had also indirectly influenced the developmental trajectories of the Evil Tide Civilization and several other Top-Level Civilizations of the Material Star Realm.
Nasir himself was a special existence who should never have appeared on that timeline.
And under his influence, the Decayed Civilization had forcibly brought
