Looking at the River of the Undead, which was emanating a terrifying aura of higher dimensions, everyone present was stunned.
The River of the Undead, known as the mother river of the Underworld, should have been immensely powerful.
However, from the previous exchanges and the power unleashed by the River of the Undead, it seemed to only be equivalent to an ordinary divine emperor.
But now, the aura erupting from the River of the Undead was sealing off the entire Underworld, blocking even the powers of beings like the Master of Destruction Path. Such strength left everyone shocked and terrified.
The most shocked were the Emperor of Hidden Darkness, Lord Radiant Spirit Master, and the Five Peaks Underworld Emperor.
“No... it’s impossible. How could the River of the Undead be so powerful? This aura far exceeds that of an ordinary divine emperor; it’s higher-dimensional power... higher-dimensional power...”
The Emperor of Hidden Darkness was in utter disbelief.
For so many years, his schemes had been extremely secretive; he could be said to be the only one among them who had grasped part of the Source of the River of the Undead.
If the River of the Undead was that powerful, he should have sensed it long ago. Moreover, even if he only controlled a part of the Source of the River of the Undead, he should have stepped into the realm of divine emperor.
But in reality, with control over part of the Source of the River of the Undead, not only had he not become a divine emperor, but he had merely stepped into the half-step divine emperor realm.
Compared to the Ancient Emperor and Lord Radiant Spirit Master, these true divine emperors, he was simply a façade, capable only of bullying the Five Peaks Underworld Emperor and such peak great emperors.
When truly facing a divine emperor, he was nothing but a shiny appearance, easily shattered.
At this moment, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind like a lightning bolt.
“Am I... being deceived by the Source of the River of the Undead?”
The Emperor of Hidden Darkness suddenly lifted his head, looking like he had seen a ghost.
At this moment, Qin Chen was also flooded with countless thoughts, everything connecting in his mind.
“Underworld Deity... I understand now!”
His gaze was profound as he looked into the endless void, his eyes seemingly piercing through everything, seeing the Underworld Deity located in the abyss, his whole being slightly excited.
“Impressive! After so many years of scheming, the Underworld Deity is truly incredible!”
Qin Chen's heart swayed, feeling immense admiration.
“Chen, what have you understood?” Sisi could not help but hurriedly turn her head and ask.
Qin Chen murmured, “Now I understand why the River of the Undead did not stop the Master of Destruction Path from descending before. It wasn’t that it couldn’t stop him, but rather that it didn’t want to stop him because the River of the Undead intentionally wanted to allow the Master of Destruction Path’s power to descend into the Underworld.”
“Intentionally letting him descend?”
Mo Li beside them was suddenly startled.
“Exactly.” Qin Chen's eyes sparkled, “This should be an underhand planned by the Underworld Deity back in the day. Don’t be deceived by the fact that the Master of Destruction Path’s projection can descend into the Underworld at will; in reality, this kind of descent will consume a massive amount of his spirit and power. Otherwise, the Underworld and the cosmic sea would have long been destroyed by the abyss.”
“And the Underworld Deity used this method to draw a significant amount of the Master of Destruction Path’s spirit, allowing him to act freely within the abyss. If I’m not mistaken, your father’s goal should be to rescue your mother, the Underworld Dark Moon Empress.”
“My father? Mother?” Sisi was taken aback.
Although she now knew that the Underworld Deity and the Underworld Dark Moon Empress were her parents, she still couldn’t switch her mindset immediately.
