The White Robed Elder looked at Qin Chen with confusion. He gently moved his fingers and frowned, saying, "Such a strange fate. Junior, do you know how he fell?"
Qin Chen replied, "This is a long story. Back then, the Underworld was incited to invade the cosmic sea. The Emperor of Void Annihilation, senior, was schemed against by some powerful beings from the Southern Cosmic Sea, ultimately perishing in a mutual destruction with one of the four extreme emperors of the underworld, the Emperor of the Netherworld, leaving only a heart of space origin behind, which was later acquired by the younger generation."
"As for this Voidless Tree Leaf, I also obtained it later from a descendant of the Emperor of Void Annihilation."
"Mutual destruction with the Emperor of the Netherworld?" The White Robed Elder frowned tightly. "Are you sure? It was the Emperor of the Netherworld, not the Underworld Deity?"
Qin Chen: "?"
He spoke, "It was the Emperor of the Netherworld, not the Underworld Deity. The cultivation of the four extreme emperors of the underworld at that time was indeed at the peak great emperor limit, while the Emperor of the Netherworld wasn't even a half-step divine emperor. How could he be a divine emperor?"
Qin Chen was very certain about the cultivation of the Emperor of the Netherworld. Although he was slightly stronger than those peak great emperors in the cosmic sea, he indeed had not reached even the half-step divine emperor level.
The White Robed Elder said solemnly, "Since that Emperor of the Netherworld is not a divine emperor, then those who designed to harm him back then were all divine emperors?"
Qin Chen: "?"
He felt that the White Robed Elder's words were somewhat inexplicable. Why must those who killed or harmed the Emperor of Void Annihilation be divine emperors?
Qin Chen shook his head and said, "They were not divine emperors but two peak great emperors: one was the Saint of the Western Yu from the Black Dragon Society in the Southern Cosmic Sea, and the other was the Ink Cloud Ancient Wall from Southern Origin City. Both were peak great emperors."
"Peak great emperors? Impossible." The White Robed Elder shook his head firmly, his gaze determined. "With the strength of that individual who was recognized by the Voidless Divine Tree back then, even if his later cultivation was merely as you said, a peak great emperor, he could not have been killed by just a single peak great emperor, even if the opponent was from the Underworld."
The White Robed Elder continued, "The fortune of the Underworld is independent of the cosmic sea, and the fate of the four extreme emperors could indeed override the powerful beings of the cosmic sea, but it would not be as you say. Without other divine emperor level external forces, this person would not be killed by a peak great emperor. I can assure you of that."
Qin Chen was puzzled, "Why is that?"
The Emperor of Void Annihilation was merely a peak great emperor, yet the elder before him was so certain.
The White Robed Elder said solemnly, "Do you think that someone recognized by the Voidless Divine Tree would fall so easily? Although this Voidless Divine Tree was a treasure I possessed back then, in reality, it is a treasure born from the origin of space nurtured by the cosmic sea. I merely obtained it by coincidence and received its recognition. Those who can gain its recognition are all individuals with great fortune, like you and that previous person. They will not easily fall."
"Even if that previous person only obtained a leaf from the Voidless Divine Tree, he would still not easily fall in a battle of the same level. Even when facing ordinary divine emperor level beings, he would have special fate backing him, giving him a chance to survive."
"This point can be confirmed."
"Fortune on one's side, fate backing?" Qin Chen was astonished. This Voidless Divine Tree had such effects?
While he was deep in thought, Qin Chen shook his head and said, "Senior, I don't know about that, but the Emperor of Void Annihilation indeed died because of that..."
