Primordial Limitless

More impressive than the world resetting every 129,600 years was probably Grandmaster's statement: "The duration of this calamity is determined by people like us."

Seeing Adam's admiration and curiosity, Grandmaster did not keep him in suspense.

"Do you know how many divine positions there are in the Heavenly Court?"

"Uh..."

Adam froze for a moment before saying,

"More than the stars in the sky."

After all, the Star Lords were merely one division of the Heavenly Court's Department of Dipper Stars.

"Hehe..."

Grandmaster could not help but laugh.

"The Five Qi True Lords, the Four Duty Attendants, the Nine Bureaus and Three Departments, All Heavenly Stars... In the old Heavenly Court, there were only 365 righteous gods. Now, the number has long since far surpassed that."

Seeing no reaction from Adam, Grandmaster added,

Perhaps because... that was approximately how long it took, from the beginning of a calamity, for the Heavenly Court's divine positions to approach
