These people couldn't even control their own bodies; the mechanized parts of their bodies were under the Supreme Sage's command as well.
*Even the few Chosen Ones with unique Talents who tried to make a last-ditch effort found themselves facing squadrons of perfectly organized, fully armed warriors rushing at them—lower-tier Desert Tower people, who made up the overwhelming majority of the civilization, were also under the Supreme Sage's control.*

He could control everything within this civilization as easily as one would operate a machine.

If the Supreme Sage deemed surrender more beneficial than war, then the outcome was inevitable.
At this moment, Shen Hao finally saw the Supreme Sage's true form.
