Looking at Qin Chen, the phantom said faintly, “This world is extremely special. You may not yet feel its uniqueness, but when you reach my level one day, you will understand why this emperor is willing to remain in this Primal Universe.”
“Senior, aren’t you trapped here?” Qin Chen asked, puzzled, glancing at the many iron chains binding the phantom.
These chains were incredibly thick, with each one made of an ancient and profound material. Ancient runes and lights flowed over them, hiding a terrifying power within.
Every single chain was deeply embedded in the phantom’s body, binding him tightly here like a prisoner.
“Uh.” The phantom showed a hint of embarrassment. “Cough, well, that is one reason, but the reason this emperor is willing to stay here actually has other reasons. Otherwise, how could these trivial chains possibly trap this emperor?”
The phantom spoke proudly.
Qin Chen frowned, suspiciously asking, “Is that so?”
Qin Chen had a look of doubt.
“Damn it.” The Ancient Emperor felt speechless, almost wanting to curse out loud. “Is this guy really that bad at conversation? Do some things need to be explained so clearly?”
“I know you want to get the truth from me, but I can only say that the arrangements made by that one, even this emperor can only see some clues and cannot understand the true purpose. However, you don’t need to know too much right now.”
The phantom looked at Qin Chen. “You returned this time, should be preparing to fuse this Primal Universe, to truly transcend reincarnation, right?”
Qin Chen nodded; he indeed had this intention.
The phantom shook his head. “Then I advise you not to do so for the time being.”
“Why is that?” Qin Chen furrowed his brows. Since ascending to the heavenly realm, he had learned that this universe had actually reached the end of reincarnation. If it couldn’t transcend the reincarnation of the cosmic sea like other worlds such as the Dark Continent, this universe would soon fall into destruction.
At that time, everyone in the entire universe would perish.
The reason the Yuanmo Ancestor was so intent on occupying the Primal Universe, even colluding with the Dark Clan, was because of this.
“Fusing the universe will indeed allow this Primal Universe to transcend reincarnation and stand tall in the cosmic sea, but it also has an adverse consequence,” the phantom said solemnly. “That is, it will make this Primal Universe completely exposed to the sight of the entire cosmic sea.”
“And with your current strength, I think you are still unable to bear the consequences of the Primal Universe truly presenting itself in the cosmic sea. At that time, countless ancient forces in the cosmic sea will turn their attention here. Are you... ready?”
The phantom looked deeply at Qin Chen.
Qin Chen frowned. From the Ancient Emperor's words, he understood that this Primal Universe must be extremely special. Once revealed, there would definitely be some bad consequences. Otherwise, with so many forces in the cosmic sea, it wouldn’t attract the attention of the ancient forces just because one Primal Universe crossed reincarnation.
And those ancient forces...
From the words of Tuoba Ancestor and the others, Qin Chen also understood that these ancient forces were incredibly strong, at least above the third layer of transcendence.
Although his own strength was not weak now, compared to those ancient forces in the cosmic sea, he was still far behind. Qin Chen was self-aware about this.
“I think you should have some understanding now, but that is only one reason,” the phantom continued. “Moreover, there is another reason – your current cultivation is still not enough. If you want to fuse the origin of the Primal Universe, you will definitely fail.”
Qin Chen was taken aback. “Didn’t you say that to transcend reincarnation, one only needs to reach the transcendence realm? Even the Carefree Supreme and the others back in the day, when they were only pinnacle supremes, could attempt to fuse the origin of the Primal Universe. Once successful, they could directly step into the transcendence realm.”
