Under the gaze of all, a little girl suddenly appeared beside Qin Chen.
"Xiao Xiao? Who is she?"
"Who on earth is this little girl?"
"She doesn't exude any powerful aura. What does this guy from the world of the living want with such a little girl?"
The Five Peaks Underworld Emperor, the Emperor of the Ten Halls of Yan, and many other underworld great emperors were all astonished, looking at Xiao Xiao beside Qin Chen, their faces filled with confusion.
Xiao Xiao's presence felt exceedingly ordinary. Her appearance was very plain, without anything special about her. She didn’t radiate any unique aura. In fact, she resembled an extremely common ghost cultivator girl from a backward little mountain village in the Underworld—exceptionally unremarkable.
However, when this little girl appeared in this world, inexplicably, all the underworld great emperors present felt as if the entire void had undergone some kind of transformation, strands of divine light seemed to emanate from this little girl, incredibly gentle and warm.
"She... she... it’s impossible..."
After seeing Xiao Xiao, the Underworld Deity's expression suddenly changed. His eyes became filled with unimaginable terror, as if he had encountered something that should never appear here, and his body even started trembling slightly.
This caused all the underworld great emperors to be shocked and horrified, turning their gazes towards Xiao Xiao beside Qin Chen.
Who is this little girl? Why did the Underworld Deity show such an expression upon seeing her?
From the beginning until now, it was the first time they had seen such a fear in the Underworld Deity's eyes, something they never dared to imagine before.
Ning Muyao also looked at Xiao Xiao in confusion. From her, she sensed an extremely special aura that was surprisingly similar to the Source of the River of the Undead nearby.
Qin Chen was so confident, clearly because of this little girl, but she didn’t have any aura. Why...
Suddenly, as if she thought of something, Ning Muyao looked at Xiao Xiao in shock, then at the Source of the River of the Undead beside her, exclaiming, "Could it be... she is..."
“Xiao Xiao, it's up to you now with the Source of the River of the Undead.” Qin Chen didn't answer but just smiled at Xiao Xiao.
As soon as Xiao Xiao appeared from the Chaotic World, her gaze fell on the Source of the River of the Undead before her. She dazedly extended her hand, her small palm gently touching the Source of the River of the Undead.
On that spherical object, she felt an incredibly familiar aura, as if something within the ball was calling out to her, giving her an overwhelming sense of warmth.
“No, stop!”
Seeing Xiao Xiao reaching out towards the Source of the River of the Undead, the Underworld Deity instantly became furious. He screamed wildly and charged towards the Source of the River of the Undead. However, his movements attracted the attention of countless Undead Statues, who swiftly rushed towards him, causing him to be sent flying repeatedly. It was not until three peak emperor level Undead Statues attacked that they finally managed to block him.
“Damn it, get away!” The Underworld Deity shouted angrily, unleashing the might of a half-step divine emperor, forcing those three peak emperor level statues to retreat. However, the strength of those three statues was clearly not comparable to ordinary Undead Statues. The Underworld Deity’s attacks could only push them back momentarily, and they soon surged forth again, blocking him.
“It’s impossible! Why would this guy appear here? Quickly, stop her, stop her…” Realizing he couldn't reach Xiao Xiao, the Underworld Deity abruptly turned his head towards the Five Peaks Underworld Emperor and the others, screaming, “Quickly stop her! This little girl is the spirit of the River of the Undead. If she touches the Source, she will instantly control it…”
“What? The spirit of the River of the Undead?”
The Five Peaks Underworld Emperor and the others were shocked and hurriedly turned to where Qin Chen was located, rushing over.
