That was right. Although the Nine Nether Nether Soldiers Ling Tian and the others had encountered were difficult to deal with, they still hadn't posed much of a threat to them. That had been back when Ling Tian and the others were still minor cultivators in the Cultivation World; the soldiers hadn't even been able to threaten them then. Naturally, they couldn't pose any threat to a Lord of the Universe, either. This alone was enough to show that the Nine Nether Nether Soldiers couldn't have been something a Lord of the Star Domain had created to punish a Lord of the Universe.
"What? Those Nine Nether Nether Soldiers were weak?!" The Eastern Emperor Bell was astonished. "That shouldn't be right. From what I know, the Nine Nether Nether Soldiers are powerful, and the stronger the Life Seeds used to create them, the stronger the soldiers. Some Nine Nether Nether Soldiers are even stronger than saints. How could you have dealt with them so easily when you were just a minor cultivator, Ling Tian?"
After saying this, the Eastern Emperor Bell quickly changed its tone. "Still, there's no way you'd lie to us, Ling Tian. Especially since, if you encountered the Nine Nether Nether Soldiers when you were still minor cultivators and they were powerful, you wouldn't have had any chance of surviving. That's strange. Could the Demon God's suppression have greatly restricted their strength?"
"Mm, it's very possible the Lord of the Universe restricted them, which would explain why they couldn't threaten Ling Tian," Chang Xiangshou said. A thought struck him, and he asked curiously, "Do you think the Lord of the Universe might have chosen Ling Tian back then, and deliberately suppressed the Nine Nether Nether Soldiers because of it?"
"Impossible. Absolutely impossible." Ling Tian shook his head
