Hua Zhi, the Divine Emperor, was stunned. "If you ask me this, who should I ask?"
She looked up at the vast river of fate and said doubtfully, "Perhaps that woman's fate was meant to be like this. You are just following the flow of fate and have not reversed it, right?"
"Is that so?" Qin Chen looked at Hua Zhi, the Divine Emperor, with suspicion. Could it be explained this way?
Hua Zhi, the Divine Emperor, nodded. However, she felt somewhat embarrassed inside. She also thought that her explanation didn’t seem very good, but what other way could she explain it?
Could it be that the power of judgment from the river of fate actually feared this person?
Thinking of this, Hua Zhi, the Divine Emperor, shook her head and smiled lightly.
What a joke! The river of fate governs the destinies of all beings in the cosmic sea. Even if Qin Chen had a strong background and great strength, the river of fate would not be afraid.
How could she have such thoughts?
Shaking her head, Hua Zhi, the Divine Emperor, coughed lightly and said, "Ahem, let's continue forward. Anyway, you just need to understand that interfering with a being's fate will be punished by the river of fate, and the stronger the being, the more they interfere, the stronger the punishment will be."
"This is also a restraint on the masters of the path of fate by the river of fate. Otherwise, any master of the path of fate could indiscriminately interfere with the fates of beings in the river of fate, and then the entire cosmic sea would be thrown into chaos."
As she explained, Hua Zhi, the Divine Emperor, led Qin Chen upstream along the river of fate.
Splash!
The power of the river surged, and the further they went upstream, the stronger Qin Chen felt the force of fate he was facing. It was as if a powerful resistance was interfering with him.
"You should be feeling it now," Hua Zhi, the Divine Emperor, smiled at Qin Chen. "The further upstream we go, the stronger the resistance of the river of fate. This is because the upstream of the river of fate is closer to the core essence of the path of fate, making it harder to probe."
"Moreover, you should also sense that the closer we get to the upstream of the river of fate, the stronger the essence of the fates of beings flowing in the river."
Qin Chen looked down at the river and nodded.
Each drop of water from the river of fate earlier had been similar to the saint level, but here, the same drop of water had already reached the heaven saint level.
The difference between them was more than a hundredfold.
"Hey, Miss Hua Zhi," at this moment, Qin Chen suddenly asked, "Why is it that every drop of water we encounter as soon as we enter the river of fate is at least at the saint realm level, and there are none below that?"
The cosmic sea was vast and boundless. Besides the countless powerful beings within it, there were also many newly formed worlds like the Primal Universe. In the Primal Universe, apart from the strong beings above the saint realm, there were also many lower-level planes.
For instance, the Tianwu Continent and the Evil Demon Continent, where the strongest beings had already reached the saint realm, and below the saint realm, there were other levels like the nineth level martial god and martial emperor.
But Qin Chen had never seen the fates of beings at these levels.
"Oh, are you talking about the ants below the saint realm? Those beings belong to the mundane realm, unremarkable beings, like mayflies hidden in the fine river water, with no opportunity to possess an individual fate," Hua Zhi, the Divine Emperor, casually explained.
Qin Chen: "..."
All beings below the saint realm were likened to ants and mayflies, which reminded Qin Chen of his previous life when he was still at the martial emperor level. Did he not even have the chance to be a drop of water in this river of fate?
As Hua Zhi, the Divine Emperor, continued to lead Qin Chen forward, he felt the force of fate growing stronger and stronger.
"That's enough."
