"No wonder others live and die so hard..." Igula said, "Our bodies follow the normal passage of time. We were full of spirit when pulled in, so we still don't feel tired yet—after all, not even a second has passed in reality, how could we be tired?"
"But not consuming the body doesn't mean not consuming the soul. Our souls have constantly been enduring high-intensity wear without any recovery, living dead has almost become inevitable. If we really stay here for three years, we'll probably lose a considerable amount of lifespan."
Ash, who is proficient in the Time Faction, had a deeper understanding of this: "All activities generate Flowing Gold River water, aging is the corrosion of Spiritual Body by Flowing Gold River water. 'Sanctuary' merely prevents the corrosion of the body, but the corrosion of the soul is unavoidable."
