Zhou Ming was silent for several breaths.
Pangu's words just now had contained no small amount of information.
The system was an outside object, and behind it were Great Dao-level powerhouses.
When he proved his Dao, those powerhouses had even been able to hold back Pangu's Dao body.
This meant—
There was very likely more than one of them.
When this information was pieced together, it sketched out a vast and dangerous chessboard.
If forces beyond the Chaos could infiltrate it, then the powerhouses within the Chaos could not possibly sit and wait for death.

Pangu seemed to
