An indescribable fear spread through Chen Xi's heart. She swallowed unconsciously.
Before, because of Wu Xin's pressure and Qianqi Weiming's pursuit, she hadn't given this much thought.
Could it be... their existence kept refreshing?
But what about the Transcendents' memories of them...
Besides, this didn't match what Qiu Ye had said. It was as if the whole world was ignoring this unreasonable aspect.
It gave Chen Xi a strange sense of familiarity—as if an enormous domain were enveloping the entire world.
