No wonder people reacted with such shock.
This world was vast,
A single domain stretched at least hundreds of billions of li from south to north. Without riding certain flying boats or similar artifacts, even an ordinary Grandmaster Realm martial artist, flying at full speed without rest, would need at least ten years to cross a domain!
The population spread across this vast territory was even more impossible to count!
