At this moment, the Ancient Emperor's face was incredibly grim, looking as if he were constipated.
He had become nothing but a scapegoat.
If this got out, where would he put his face?
"What's wrong? You don't look happy?" The big black cat glanced at the Ancient Emperor and scoffed, "You got a cheap deal and now you're acting precious. How many people want this opportunity, and they don't even have it."
The Ancient Emperor was stunned.
Oh!
Why did that sound so reasonable?
If being a scapegoat meant becoming a higher dimension, those other divine emperors in the cosmic sea would probably be fighting to take his place.
Thinking this, he maintained an air of arrogance and coldly snorted, "Hmph, listen to you, making it seem like if this emperor doesn't act as a scapegoat, he can't become a higher dimension. This emperor is endowed with supreme talent; achieving the higher dimension is a matter of course."
"Well." The big black cat nodded and, without giving face, remarked, "Back in the day, I don't know which guy caused a commotion with his entire family and ended up getting beaten like a dog, pitifully."
The Ancient Emperor: "……"
Damn it.
This dead cat was too harsh with his words. Although it was the truth, couldn't he give himself a bit of face?
The Ancient Emperor looked at the big black cat in dissatisfaction. Noticing that it had only unsealed half of its seals, he suddenly squinted and smiled, "Hehe, you're right. It's indeed a blessing for this emperor to be able to take on the scapegoat. However, you still haven't fully liberated yourself, so it seems that someone is leaving you to bear other scapegoats, right?"
The big black cat's previously smug expression suddenly froze.
The big black cat: "……"
"Hahaha!"
Seeing the big black cat's constipated expression, the Ancient Emperor finally couldn't hold back and laughed heartily.
"Let's go, check on that kid."
The Ancient Emperor stepped forward and instantly disappeared from sight.
The big black cat followed and vanished as well.
Boom!
At this moment, high above the endless horizon of the Primal Universe, Qin Chen's perfect dao divine body was evolving, already reaching the final stages.
Endless essence of the great path was converging, strands intertwining like millions of rays of light, rapidly gathering into Qin Chen's body.
Nearby, Sisi and the others were floating, their eyes wide in shock as they watched this scene.
Their auras had calmed down, radiating terrifying great path light. Especially with Qin Chen's fusion of yin and yang, having obtained the essence of Qin Chen's powers, Sisi, Qianxue, Ruyue, and wan'er all had divine bodies emitting fearsome divine light, far surpassing even ordinary great emperors by hundreds of times.
"Impressive, to enter the great emperor realm and already possess a top-tier foundation divine body. No wonder this divine body was achieved after obtaining the power of the perfect dao divine body; if this gets out, it would surely astonish countless great emperors in the cosmic sea."
A voice suddenly rang in the ears of Sisi and the others, startling them. They quickly awakened to see a domineering figure standing beside them.
This figure appeared to stand proudly yet seemed almost non-existent in this space-time, extremely strange. Sisi and the others felt that even if they teamed up to attack, it would likely miss entirely, not even brushing against the opponent's garments.
"We meet the Ancient Emperor, senior." Sisi and the others hurriedly bowed.
"Senior, you have... stepped into the higher dimension?" Sisi blinked in shock.
During their time in the Underworld, she had fought alongside Qin Chen and had seen higher-dimensional beings, and at this moment, the Ancient Emperor gave her the same feeling as that master of destruction path from the abyss, existing in a space with a higher dimension of power, capable of easily annihilating any lower-dimensional existence upon arrival.
"Well, you little girl indeed have good eyesight; you are the daughter of the Underworld Deity after all." The Ancient Emperor raised his head, puffing out his chest, and proudly said, "You can actually see that I have stepped into the higher dimension, not bad, haha."
