At the end of the Endless Mountains.
Qin Shujian had always thought it would be like the boundary of the world.
Yet.
When he actually arrived, he discovered that it was entirely different.
The space ahead twisted violently, and beyond it, something like a black river flowed.
Besides that.
Heaven and earth seemed to narrow into a single line here, the distance between the sky and the ground steadily shrinking.
"Is the sky collapsing?"
"Or is the earth rising?"
Qin Shujian stared at the sight before him in shock, unable to determine what had caused it.
And at the far end of the distorted space and the black river.
Heaven and earth seemed to have closed together, becoming a single line stretching into the distance.
This phenomenon.
Astonished not only Qin Shujian, but even the Human Emperor and the others.
"Heaven and earth reduced to a single line. What an astonishing feat!"
The Human Emperor could not help expressing his wonder.
Even with his current cultivation and abilities, he could only marvel at such a thing.
One expert asked, "Your Majesty, are you saying that a second world lies beyond the end of the Endless Mountains?"
"Yes and no!"
"Please enlighten us, Your Majesty!"
"Strictly speaking, calling it a second world isn't entirely accurate. More precisely, our world and the world beyond the Endless Mountains are parts of a single whole."
"A single whole?"
Many of them were even more astonished by those words.
What did that mean?
Even the Marquis of Northcloud had questions about what the Human Emperor had said.
In response.
The Human Emperor's expression grew solemn. "After the world shattered, it became the Four Great Continents. The Eastern Continent is where we are now, while the other three lie beyond the end of the Endless Mountains."
