Hong Jun swept his gaze over the four sovereigns and slowly said:
"There is something you do not know.
The world outside the Primordial World is not as defenseless as you imagine.
After Great God Pangu split heaven and earth apart, his body became all things. Though his divine form dispersed, he left a layer of protection beyond this heaven and earth.
