"Huh?!"
A chill ran through Qin Siyang as he listened.
"Not just Earth-even other celestial bodies in the universe were affected?!"
"That's right."
Zhang Kuang nodded. "According to my research, the effects of the day the apocalypse descended weren't limited to Earth. Unless my observations were wrong, everything around us was affected."

Qin Siyang gripped his
