Chi Xue was a clever man, too. Like Ling Tian, he had deduced that the Lord of the Universe had chosen them as seeds because he needed them to do something. At the moment, Ling Tian and Little Devourer seemed powerful enough to have the best chance of completing the Lord of the Universe's task, but unexpected things could still happen. That was why it made sense to choose a few backups. Chi Xue and Po Tian were those backups. If so, then the Lord of the Universe naturally wouldn't let them be killed so easily by Ling Tian and the others.
Since that was the case, Chi Xue and the others had nothing to worry about. That was why they weren't concerned at all. In fact, a faint smile tugged at Chi Xue's lips, carrying a hint of mockery at the Lord of the Universe's manipulations.

Though he phrased it as a question, his tone had turned rather certain. Then he nodded repeatedly. "That might really be the case.

Maybe this time will be the same."
"Not only that. After that incident, we also obtained a secret art for refining the Origin Bloodline Power of powerful Ancient Divine Beasts. Our strength improved quite a bit as a result. Maybe this time will be just like last time." Po Family Seventeenth Brother added this, and his words swept away the worry in everyone's hearts.
"That's true, but you've all seen it yourselves.
