At Lin Yuan's question, Steward Liu paused, then recalled:
"Now that you mention it, it does seem a little longer than before?"
At first, Lilia had never needed to sleep.
Later, after Paradise shattered and she went with Lin Yuan to the East Pole Sea, she became somewhat prone to drowsiness.
Then, after the game's third stage ended and the Endless Sea Universe and the True Universe were completely severed from each other spatially, Lilia became full of energy again.
Recently, however, the Doll Girl had gradually begun to need sleep again.
At first, she only needed a fifteen-minute nap each day.
Gradually, fifteen minutes became half an hour, then an hour.
By now, Lin Yuan naturally knew that Lilia's condition was closely linked to the Great Being.
Her growing need for sleep meant that the Great Being was drawing ever closer to awakening.
That was not good news.
The so-called "golden age" seemed rather powerless in the face of the Great Being's awakening.
Fortunately, Lilia only needed an hour of sleep each day now, proving that the Great Being's complete awakening was still far off.
Only when Lilia fell into an eternal slumber would the Great Being truly awaken.
And the "Finale War" had to be completed before the Great Being truly awakened.
Otherwise, against a fully awakened Paradox Level being, the Sanctum Founder and the Human Federation's chances of victory would dwindle toward nothing.

Steward Liu began listing the names one by one.
They were mostly Supernovas, though a few other names
