"I may not have entered the cosmic sea, but I do have some knowledge and hearsay about it. It is said that there are many powerful forces within the cosmic sea."
"Among these forces, there are various races; not all are from the Demon Tribe or Monster Race, but there is one commonality: the Underworld."
"Almost all forces in the cosmic sea share a legend that once living beings fall, they will enter the Underworld."
"Of course, some call it the Netherworld, or the Ghost Realm, or even Purgatory...”
"Although the names differ, the descriptions are quite similar, which leads us to suspect that the Underworld might very well be a force outside the cosmic sea."
"Of course, this is just a guess; as for whether it’s true or not, even this ancestor does not know."
The Primordial Ancestral Dragon shook his head.
Qin Chen's gaze flickered; could the Underworld be a force within the cosmic sea?
Is this even possible?
What shocked Qin Chen even more was that his father might also be a powerful figure within the cosmic sea?
Is this... for real?
For a moment, Qin Chen's heart was filled with confusion.
Beside him, the lord of abyssal demons was equally stunned.
Although he was a descendant of the Abyss Demon Tribe, he also knew little about these details regarding the Underworld.
"Primordial Ancestral Dragon, if the Underworld is so powerful, wouldn’t it unify the cosmic sea?"
After pondering for a moment, Qin Chen frowned again.
If the Underworld were such a terrifying force capable of controlling the life and death of powerful beings across the cosmic sea, wouldn’t it already be invincible?
After all, it is said that all powerful beings who fall eventually enter the Underworld.
Just think about it; how many powerful beings have fallen over billions of years?
In this universe alone, countless powerful beings have met their demise.
"Hahaha."
Hearing Qin Chen's words, the Primordial Ancestral Dragon laughed.
"I only mentioned that the Underworld might be a force within the cosmic sea. As for whether it actually is, that’s hard to say. Additionally, when I said the Underworld is terrifying, I didn't mean to say it's invincible. At least during the ancient Chaos Era, those top-tier Chaos Demon Gods that fell did not resurrect in the Underworld."
"I have witnessed that after a Chaos Demon God fell, a powerful being from the Underworld appeared to guide the soul only to be blocked. That powerful being’s soul directly returned to heaven and earth, returning to the origin of the universe."
"Just think about it: if the Underworld were truly that fearsome, they could directly reincarnate the souls of powerful beings without needing to guide them."
The Primordial Ancestral Dragon sneered: "Back then, the purpose of those young ones in the Underworld was likely to guide the souls of my chaos beings. If I’m not mistaken, this is also a method for the Underworld to grow stronger."
"That’s possible."
Qin Chen nodded.
He was also a master of the death path, and he understood well that although the death path was powerful, it was still under the control of the supreme origin path of the universe.
"Regardless."
At this moment, Qin Chen reflected for a moment before his gaze brightened.
"I think I now understand how those demon kings can be reborn. The death path, hmph, when powerful beings fall, the death path can condense their souls and allow them to resurrect in the Underworld."
"This means that in the Supreme Origin Array's Dark Source Pool, there must be a gathering of the essence of the death path."
"Under normal circumstances, a powerful being's soul should not be able to resurrect, but those demon kings must have entered the Dark Source Pool before, and thus they must have undergone the baptism of death energy, allowing the death path to easily condense their souls after they fall."
"It seems this is also why the eternal demon king, upon entering this passage, was so restrained by the death energy, as their bodies contained not only that dark energy but also the imprint of the death path."
