“Leading that kid astray?” The Ancient Emperor shook his head slightly, “Then I would have to have the courage to do so.”
“Who knows you?” The big black cat bit into a lamb leg fiercely, its mouth filled with oil, “You were reckless in the cosmic sea back then. With your peak great emperor cultivation, you dared to stir up endless storms, causing chaos throughout the cosmic sea. Now that you have touched upon the realm of higher dimensions, if this emperor doesn't keep an eye on you, who knows what kind of turmoil you might cause.”
“Hahaha, it depends on who it is. As for that kid, I have no thoughts about him at all.”
The Ancient Emperor laughed heartily, his expression filled with endless melancholy and emotion, “You know, if it wasn't for that one back then, I would have long been scattered into soul fragments without even the chance of reincarnation. How could I dare to oppose anything He wanted to do?”
“Then why are you still teaching them the fusion of yin and yang?” The big black cat shot him a glance, “Don't tell me you don’t have your own motives hidden in there.”
“Can I be blamed for that?” The Ancient Emperor's eyes flickered, revealing a terrifying brilliance, as if countless universes were swirling in destruction.
“You also saw it. After that kid fused with the Primal Universe, he indeed hasn't completely refined the perfect dao divine body. I did it to fulfill the task that was left for me by that one back then, which is why I gave such an idea. Now that I think about it, it must have been that Underworld Deity who did something…”
As he spoke, a flash of insight appeared in the Ancient Emperor's eyes, as if a light bulb had gone off: “That's right, I said, how could the Underworld Deity so quickly agree to that one’s request and directly abandon the Underworld? By doing so, he essentially treated the entire Underworld as a dowry to give to that kid. This is his lifelong effort!”
“Now that I think about it, he did it to leave a backup plan, reserving part of the Underworld's primordial essence for his own daughter. For that kid to truly refine the perfect dao divine body, he must achieve a yin and yang fusion with the Underworld Deity’s daughter. And in the process of that fusion, once he refines the true perfect dao divine body, the Underworld Deity’s daughter will also be able to comprehend the path of heaven and man, cultivating an unparalleled divine body.”
“At that time, even if he sacrifices the Underworld, his daughter will still benefit immensely.”
“Tsk tsk, really ruthless.”
The Ancient Emperor sighed, seemingly having understood everything: “These ancient giants born from the distant past are indeed cunning and shrewd, not good to be mixed with.”
As he spoke, the Ancient Emperor glanced at the big black cat.
“Why are you looking at me?” The big black cat licked its whiskers, “This emperor is quite different from those guys; I am very pure.”
“You're pure?”
The Ancient Emperor chuckled, “If you truly thought my idea was bad, you would have interrupted me long ago. Aren't you hoping that kid can truly refine the perfect dao divine body? At that time, not only can this emperor be liberated, but the seals on you would likely be reduced by half as well, and you wouldn't have to keep pretending so hard.”
The big black cat licked its paw, saying nothing, just quietly watching the void above.
Outside the Void Sea.
After Qin Chen and the others left, in the blink of an eye, they had already appeared beyond the endless heavenly realm.
“Chen, why are you running so fast? Are you afraid we’ll eat you?”
Sisi and the others pulled Qin Chen, smiling as they spoke. They quickly closed in on Qin Chen, their soft and rounded bodies pressing tightly against him, their eyes shimmering with tenderness: “Actually, what the Ancient Emperor said earlier does have some merit. What if…”
As they spoke, the few of them had already surrounded Qin Chen, looking at him with affectionate gazes.
