At this moment, Domain Lord Zhuohuo was deeply shaken.
He was still pondering over the information!
The Abyss Path Master actually collaborated with the Underworld Deity? Although the other party only mentioned the possibility, Domain Lord Zhuohuo carefully thought it over and realized that this scenario was indeed highly probable.
"Among the many path masters in the Abyss, there are numerous grudges. If that Underworld Deity offers some benefits, the Abyss Path Master and Lord of the Path of Destruction have always been at odds. It's quite possible they could cooperate with the Underworld Deity."
"Or perhaps, the Abyss Path Master is pretending to collaborate with the Underworld Deity, while secretly weakening Lord of the Path of Destruction's power and setting up the Abyss Path Master himself—a two-birds-one-stone scheme."
"No wonder Domain Lord Luotang's devouring realm core was invaded before, and even Lord of the Path of Destruction's activation of the river of the path of destruction couldn't take the enemy down in one go, allowing the enemy to escape. If such a path master-level powerhouse as the Abyss Path Master was behind the scenes, this is entirely possible."
Domain Lord Zhuohuo had never dared to think in that direction before, but now, upon careful consideration, he suddenly felt enlightened.
At this moment, he secretly felt a chill in his heart.
If that were true, even he, a top-tier domain lord-level powerhouse under Lord of the Path of Destruction, might not be safe.
Unable to hold back, he spoke up: "Sir, what you said... is it true? The Abyss Path Master dares to cooperate with the Underworld Deity—does he not fear the sanctions from the many path masters of the Abyss?"
"Heh, you should be able to guess the truth yourself. As for sanctions, do you think the Abyss Path Master fears that, given his status?" Qin Chen gave a cold smile. "The Abyss seems united on the surface, but behind the scenes, everyone is divided into camps with conflicting interests. Few would do things that harm others without benefiting themselves. But if harming others benefits oneself, why not do it? Are those path masters really that noble? You're under Lord of the Path of Destruction; you've seen how he operates—how can you have such naive thinking?"
Qin Chen shook his head in disdain.
Domain Lord Zhuohuo immediately fell silent.
Being under Lord of the Path of Destruction, he was naturally well aware of the Lord's nature—it was simply... inhuman.
To achieve his goals, Lord of the Path of Destruction was capable of anything.
Seeing this, Qin Chen showed a slight smile.
Among the many high-dimensional beings in the cosmic sea, there was still competition. He did not believe that a place like the Abyss, governed by the law of the strong devouring the weak, would be free of rivalry. Just in the Underworld, both the Abyss Path Master and Lord of the Path of Destruction had their own plots, and these were actively undermining each other.
This told him all he needed to know.
"Well? Still hesitating? Whether you want to follow Lord Spirit Dao Master is just a word from you. What are you still thinking about? Or do you want to discuss terms with me?"
Seeing Domain Lord Zhuohuo remain silent, Qin Chen frowned, "If you want to discuss terms with this seat, I advise you to give up that thought right now. Strong cosmic sea powerhouses are hard to find, but a single domain lord in the Abyss is even harder to come by."
"Since you're still hesitating, then I bid you farewell. This seat has no time to waste on you."
With that, Qin Chen didn’t bother to say anything more to Domain Lord Zhuohuo, his figure flickering as he turned to leave.
"Wait, sir!" Domain Lord Zhuohuo hurriedly called out, still torn inside.
"Damn, such a wishy-washy fellow. Uncle Qin, you’re really wasting time on this guy," Mo Nianli shook his head, his aura surging fiercely, "If I had fully matured, I'd slap him dead right away! Who does he think he’s fooling in front of me?"
Mo Nianli said grumpily, his terrifying aura spreading, an invisible force that even made Domain Lord Zhuohuo feel a trace of dread.
