Self-Verification

Chen Yan calmly watched, without saying a word, as the former ruler of Tianji Continent stood before him, nearly crazed in this pure-white space.

Zuo He's reaction to Bai Chen's fall was far more extreme than his reaction to learning that Tianji Continent had collapsed, or even that he himself had died.

This left Chen Yan somewhat baffled.

Judging by what happened afterward, it seemed that Imperial Void Saint had not lost control of this domain before Yuxu Continent was renamed Tianji Continent.

The transition from Yuxu Continent to Tianji Continent had proceeded with remarkable stability.

It was even possible that Imperial Void Saint and Supreme Saint Tianji had known each other quite well.
