Boom!
The previous epoch!
Those four words exploded in the minds of Jie Yin, Zhun Ti, and Randeng like a bolt of Chaos Divine Thunder!
Their pupils contracted to pinpoints!
What did that mean?
Ji Fa, the ruler of Xiqi in their eyes, was a being who had survived from the previous epoch?

Those words utterly overturned the worldview of every native of the Primordial Wilderness in the tent.
They had always believed the Primordial Wilderness was boundless and Saints were eternal.
But now, a far more terrifying, far vaster truth lay before
