When Saine returned to Gear Time-Space, Mechanical Civilization had not shown any obvious stagnation because of his long absence.
The present Gear Time-Space was no longer the pocket-sized Higher Dimensional Plane that Saine had only recently taken over back then.
The immense Skynet system covered most of the important regions of this time-space.
The dual-core resonance between Cube Time-Space and Gear Time-Space had also maintained high-frequency operation in recent years.
The first-phase Destruction Mech Soldiers project was still expanding.
The Balance Dispatch Core was gradually being integrated into more Mechanical Civilization Legion systems.
Although the Gate of Mechanical Ascension was still some distance from true completion, it had allowed a batch of Level-9 Peak Mechanical Lifeforms within Mechanical Civilization to see a more stable possibility of breaking through to the Level-10 Transcendence Realm.
Saine did not need to personally keep watch over these matters at every moment.
Skynet and Magic Cube would handle most affairs for him.
This was also one of the reasons Saine had been confident enough to remain in Final Silence Time-Space for nearly a thousand years.
The difference in Time Flow Rate had also brought Saine some additional inspiration.
Final Silence Rules were not Time Rules in the traditional sense.
Yet when the vitality of an entire time-space was suppressed to a certain extent, the way time manifested within it would likewise become slower and more stagnant.
Saine separately classified this data under the "Correlation Between High-Dimensional Temporal Environments and Rule Activity" sequence.
He vaguely felt that if he were to investigate the time anomalies connected to Douglas, Naige'er, and the Source Tracing Stone in the future, this data, seemingly unrelated to Final Silence Time-Space itself, might prove useful.
Truth research was often like this.
Fragments of data casually collected today might become the key to
