"You brat, now you believe that I haven't deceived you, right? As long as you utilize the spatial power within your body, you can completely suppress this seat's Legacy Pearl. In that case, even if this seat had any malicious intentions, it would be impossible to execute them, so you can rest assured."
The Emperor of the Underworld spoke earnestly. He genuinely wanted Qin Chen to believe him. Qin Chen looked at the black bead in front of him and had a faint feeling that if he sent this black bead into the Ancient Universe Tower and suppressed it using the origin of space, then even if the other party had any tricks up their sleeve, they wouldn’t be able to carry them out.
"What is your purpose in doing this?" Qin Chen asked with a furrowed brow. If the other party truly harbored ill intentions towards him, the previous months when he had assimilated with the origin of space would have been the best opportunity to strike.
Although he had been on guard, and the other party might not have succeeded, the Emperor of the Underworld had not only refrained from attacking him during that process but had also secretly helped him. This surprised Qin Chen.
Could it be that the other party truly had no ill will? The Emperor of the Underworld hurriedly said, "I've already mentioned my purpose. You are the only martial artist who can inherit this seat’s legacy since the opening of the Abyssal Secret Realm for billions of years. As long as you comprehend this seat's legacy, you can inherit the position of the emperor of the four extremes, and one day return to the Underworld to reclaim everything that belonged to this seat, allowing my legacy to continue spreading and ensuring that the position of the emperor of the four extremes does not fall into the hands of others. That’s all."
The Emperor of the Underworld spoke sincerely, fearing that Qin Chen would not believe him. After pondering for a moment, Qin Chen replied lightly, "Although you wanted to harm this young master before, considering that you stopped the distant path divine sovereign from self-destructing and even helped me kill him, as well as giving me this origin of space, our past grievances can be considered resolved. However, if you want me to inherit your position as emperor of the four extremes, that's out of the question. I am just a small fry who hasn’t even attained transcendence, lacking the ambition for such greatness."
The Emperor of the Underworld quickly spoke up, "As long as you do not die, your future will definitely be extraordinary. Why belittle yourself? However, if you do not wish to inherit the position of the emperor of the four extremes, I will not force you. I only wish for my legacy to be passed down. Additionally, if possible, I would like you to help me with a task that is unrelated to inheriting the position."
"Speak," Qin Chen nodded. If he could help, he wouldn’t mind assisting with this, especially since he was still on the other party's territory. Provoking the Emperor of the Underworld would not lead to anything good.
"I have a descendant named Yan Po. If possible, when you travel to the Underworld in the future, please pass on my legacy to him. Of course, if you cannot find him, that’s fine," the Emperor of the Underworld said.
Qin Chen contemplated for a moment before replying, "I can help with that, but I won’t spend time searching for Yan Po. I can only promise you that if I happen to encounter Yan Po, I will assist with this matter."
"Certainly! If you meet Yan Po, please lend a hand. If you do not encounter him, then when you eventually head to the Underworld, just send a message, and Yan Po will come to find you," the Emperor of the Underworld said immediately.
Qin Chen remained silent. After conversing with the Emperor of the Underworld, he realized that if he wished to comprehend the true death path in the future, he would certainly need to go to the Underworld.
"I will do so when I feel that my strength is sufficient," Qin Chen nodded. Until he had the necessary strength, he would not recklessly seek out the descendants of the Emperor of the Underworld.
