At this moment, the Emperor of the Underworld couldn't help but feel a pang of bitterness in his heart.
If he had such a powerful backing back in the day, would he have needed to fight tooth and nail against the Emperor of Void Annihilation? Would he have fallen in a foreign land?
Even the title of the Emperor of the Four Extremes might not have mattered to him.
Of course, at this moment, he merely thought about it. Different people have different fates. There are always some who are born standing at a point that you can only see as a goal, and it's impossible to compare.
The Emperor of the Underworld, who had grown through countless setbacks and blows, was well aware of this.
"And besides, I had no backing back then, but now that I’m following that kid Qin Chen, doesn’t that count as having a connection to that one?"
As if thinking of something, the Emperor of the Underworld chuckled to himself, feeling quite pleased, his lips involuntarily curling into a smile.
That kid Qin Chen is impressive, doesn’t that mean I'm impressive too?
His father is, after all, his father, right?
Ahem!
That was pretty much the idea.
"Senior Underworld, what are you laughing at?"
At this time, Qin Chen turned his head in confusion, "Is there something wrong with my Chaotic World?"
"Ah? Oh? It's nothing."
The Emperor of the Underworld regained his senses, fearing that Qin Chen might catch on to something, and hurriedly looked at the Heart of Space above him. After a moment, his expression turned serious as he said in a deep voice, "Qin Chen, if I'm not mistaken, the Chaotic World and the Heart of Space have only achieved a preliminary fusion, and you have only slightly grasped an exceedingly tiny portion of the Heart of Space's power, allowing you to not be rejected by it."
Qin Chen nodded.
Just as the Emperor of the Underworld said, he had only mastered an extremely small part of the Heart of Space's power—perhaps one ten-thousandth, or even less than that.
This was not due to Qin Chen's lack of insight, but because his cultivation could not withstand such terrifying spatial rules.
To fully master the Heart of Space, one would at least need to reach the emperor level for that possibility.
"Next, unless a powerful external force separates the Heart of Space from the Chaotic World, it will continue to merge with the Chaotic World. As the fusion deepens, it will ultimately transform into the most terrifying source of the spatial rules of the Chaotic World."
"And by that time, if you still cannot fully master the Heart of Space, you will still lose control over the Chaotic World," the Emperor of the Underworld advised.
"I understand."
Qin Chen nodded. In fact, he had already sensed that the current Chaotic World possessed two cores; one centered around him that controlled the vast majority of the Chaotic World's power, and the other centered around the Heart of Space, which was steadily strengthening its control over the Chaotic World.
If he could not fully master the Heart of Space, one day, the core of the Chaotic World would turn into the Heart of Space.
Qin Chen's gaze was resolute; he would never let that day come.
At this moment, Sisi and the others anxiously flew over, nervously inspecting Qin Chen's body, their eyes all red.
"I'm fine."
Qin Chen gently stroked their heads, feeling guilty for making Qianxue and the others worry again.
At this moment, Sisi suddenly turned pale, a wave of energy coursing through her body. Her expression shifted slightly as she forced herself not to make a sound, her body trembling lightly, not wanting to reveal anything to Qin Chen.
But how could Qin Chen not notice these things? He quickly grasped Sisi's hand, "Sisi, are you alright?"
"I'm fine." Sisi forced a smile through her pain, but her pale face only made her look more pitiful.
"Qin Chen, why has her source injury worsened so much?"
The Emperor of the Underworld looked at Sisi with confusion, and upon seeing her state, his expression changed immediately, unable to refrain from speaking.
