“大黑猫？” Qin Chen suddenly raised his head, looking deep into the endless Void Sea. Is the Big Black Cat here?
The void was silent, with no sound at all.
What did the Ancient Emperor Senior mean by that? Could it be that the Big Black Cat has the means to eliminate the ancestor of the Immortal Emperor Clan?
Before his thoughts could settle, a lazy and dissatisfied voice reverberated through the cosmic sea.
“Damn it, this emperor is just taking a nap here, and you keep coming to disturb my beautiful dreams. How long is this going to go on?”
Whoosh!
As the words fell, a pitch-black figure suddenly appeared above the Void Sea, stretching lazily and yawning. Who else could it be but the Big Black Cat?
“Big Black Cat?”
Qin Chen's eyes widened!
“Qin Chen kid, long time no see.” The Big Black Cat grinned at Qin Chen, instantly appearing on Qin Chen's shoulder. It looked him up and down: “Pinnacle of half-step divine emperor? Tsk tsk tsk, this emperor only took a quick nap, and you’ve already reached this level? Well, I knew you were someone remarkable.”
The Big Black Cat circled around Qin Chen twice, then shook its head and said, “Unfortunately, you lack the crucial source within you, making it impossible for you to enter the divine emperor realm. If you want to break through to divine emperor, I’m afraid you’ll have to make a trip to the abyss.”
“You... How did you know I lacked abyss origin?” Qin Chen was taken aback. This Big Black Cat has such sharp eyes; he only realized he was deficient in abyss origin after his battle in the Wasteland of All Gods, during his confrontation with the spirit dao master.
He hadn’t expected the Big Black Cat to see through his problem with just a glance; such insight is truly exceptional.
“What’s there to not see?”
The Big Black Cat shook its head, “Who am I? I am the supreme emperor of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. Don’t talk about your problems; I could even tell you when you’re going to have children. Wait!”
While speaking, the Big Black Cat looked towards Chen Sisi. Upon seeing her, its pupils suddenly constricted.
“You...” The Big Black Cat stepped back abruptly, staring at Chen Sisi's belly in shock and stammering, “When did you two get together again?”
Chen Sisi was taken aback, glancing at her belly: “Black Cat Senior, what do you mean by that?”
“Tsk tsk tsk!” The Big Black Cat quickly circled around Chen Sisi, its gaze flickering as it muttered, “Your father really knows how to set up a trap; he actually managed to pull this off. When that guy secretly came here from the Underworld, I felt he was up to no good.”
“Black Cat Senior, do you know my father?” Chen Sisi asked in shock.
“Met him a few times,” the Big Black Cat put its hands on its hips and nodded, “Your dad is indeed quite the character. In this vast cosmic sea, with countless epochs and reincarnations, there are not many people I find worth noticing. Your father, the Underworld Deity, is one of them. Thanks to him keeping watch, otherwise, the Underworld would have long fallen under the attention of some high-dimensional beings in the cosmic sea.”
“Underworld Deity? She... She is the daughter of the Underworld Deity?” The ancestor of the Immortal Emperor Clan, who had been struggling, suddenly looked up, disbelief evident in his eyes.
“No wonder, no wonder she has such a terrifying aura of death rules. I was still wondering how she attained the death rules; she’s actually the daughter of the Underworld Deity. If that's the case, everything about her makes sense.”
“And that Qin Chen...”
The ancestor of the Immortal Emperor Clan suddenly turned to Qin Chen: “Yin-yang fusion, myriad paths returning to one. If that’s the case, it can explain how this kid possesses such power at the pinnacle of half-step divine emperor.”
“And the lord of the abyss. Is this person making me act against the Primal Universe for the sake of the Underworld?”
Countless doubts raced through the mind of the ancestor of the Immortal Emperor Clan, forming a coherent line. Many things that had puzzled him before suddenly became clear.
