"What is all this... exactly!"
Numerous top-level beings felt utterly bewildered after arriving outside the universe.
Everything before them was something they could not have anticipated in advance.
In their myriad imaginations, it was either a massive fleet of arks beyond the universe, resembling swarms of locusts at twilight, or perhaps some peculiar parasitic life forms attached to the universe's outer shell... Certainly, it was unlikely that friendly neighbors from the extracosmic realm were here to save their universe, right?
The reaction speed and thought processes of these top-level beings were incredibly fast, not to mention the Deity, even other top-level beings had reaction speeds that could rival a Deity. For instance, the shadow clone of Lu Yuanming had a reaction speed that could be calculated in fractions of a second.
This outer space operation was indeed a race against time, and the instant they left the universe, each individual's reaction speed was maxed out.
