Qian Wendao added, "Xiao Qin, you've really been lucky. If you'd appeared in another [Evolutionary Sequence Domain], you probably wouldn't even have had a chance to make your fortune.

Qin Siyang thought for a moment, then asked again, "Are all the other [Evolutionary Sequence Domains] that awful?"
"Pretty much. I've only seen three [Evolutionary Sequence Domains], and I don't know how many there are in total, but
