Zhang Ming frowned slightly. This feeling was a little like... a Demon God?
Demon Gods had unique rules first, and only then acquired bodies. Their so-called bodies were merely vessels for those rules.
The expert continued, "The Wanhai Civilization analyzed hundreds of similar creatures and concluded that such enormous differences could only arise in different world domains, owing to radically different rules. They crossed over through unknown means. Of course, since they were so rare, they attracted little attention."
"As for... the one we've encountered now... the only explanation is that the seal in the Abyss might involve another world domain... once the seal is broken, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"The most ancient civilizations, including the Wanhai Civilization, called that unknown world domain the old mythological era. Our world domain is called the new mythological era."
"However, the old mythological era is far too remote. Only fragments of information can be reflected through legends and the like, and most of it cannot be verified."
"I see."
Zhang Ming swallowed. "You mean that once the seal is broken, all the monsters from the old mythological era will come running over?"
"Not necessarily. The two world domains are offset in space-time. In other words, even the rates at which time passes are different, and their physical rules aren't entirely the same either. Crossing over is actually quite difficult."
