Xu Zhi was stunned for a moment.
The surrounding saints were eager to make a move, wanting to lend Di Qi a hand, enter the fray, and defeat Gu You's faction, which monopolized the Cosmic Sea.
After all, Di Qi had promised benefits: they could become his sons and daughters. Even Zhi Ji was tempted.
She piloted a universe and stood on its deck, overlooking the murky depths below and the fierce battlefield in the distant Chaos Sea.
