When Vast Heaven left, Li Qi was still somewhat dumbfounded.
In those ten minutes just now, what had happened had practically overturned every impression Li Qi had formed throughout his cultivation.
Other than the World still being the World, and those high-rank worlds still being high-rank worlds, the entire universe had changed beyond recognition.
