Dream Dao Attainment, Opening Scheme Against Cultivators
Dream-Making Expert
At these words, Yuyao immediately looked toward the Demon Buddha.
One side of the Demon Buddha blazed with demonic qi, the other with compassionate Buddhist light. Amidst the black clouds and golden radiance, his expression was hidden.
Yuyao did not look long. She merely said softly.
“With Your Majesty’s words, I am at ease.”
“This matter is not out of selfishness on my part. It is simply that on the road ahead, we must contend, and it is either one or the other.”
“Between that Yuyao and myself, it has long since come to the point where either she dies or I die.”
“Though Lin Qi showed me the grace of guidance, he repeatedly favors Yuyao and blocks my path forward.”
“I too can only risk my life in one gambit.”
“Amitabha. The Divine Mother’s heart is already known to this old monk and to Your Majesty.”
The Demon Buddha chanted the Buddha’s name and then spoke.
“This old monk will say a fair word here. This matter is indeed Lin Qi being too partial.”
“The Divine Mother contends for her own path and fate. That is beyond reproach. There is no need to feel guilt.”
“As for after Lin Qi returns from Tribulation Transcendence, this old monk feels it is as Your Majesty said.”
“If Lin Qi can recognize the times and understand the greater trend, then for the sake of his grace of guidance, we naturally ought to accompany him to the end.”
“But if Lin Qi remains stubbornly deluded, irresolute, and swayed by womanly softness.”
“Then naturally there is no need for us to accompany him to our deaths.”
“Making plans early and leaving a way out is only natural.”
As the Demon Buddha spoke, he observed Lin Qi’s expression.
He was no longer worried about the Divine Mother.
After all, the Divine Mother had killed Yuyao and even absorbed and refined her, not leaving behind even a trace of Primordial Spirit remnant.
Under those conditions, the Divine Mother could only walk the path to the very end. It was impossible for her to obtain Lin Qi’s forgiveness.
After all, everyone knew that Yuyao, to Lin Qi, was truly like a cherished friend and close kin.
How could Lin Qi possibly forgive the killing of his wife?
If they had not known this.
A mere Yuyao, with the methods of the Supremes, would not have needed a scheme to lure the Divine Mother into acting.
Back in the days of the Intercepting Heaven Cosmos, they could have simply pointed a finger and killed her.
So the Demon Buddha felt that the Divine Mother’s rebellion was already settled. There would be no further variables.
As for the remaining Nine Spirits of the Dream Bubble Shadow, aside from the Heaven-Abandoning Emperor.
The rest were all mediocre.
Merely the chickens and dogs in the saying of one man attaining the Dao and even his chickens and dogs ascending to heaven. Nothing more.
Not worth mentioning at all.
Some were even bodies for possession already chosen by certain existences.
So they could be completely ignored.
But this ‘Heaven-Abandoning Emperor’ before him.
According to a certain possible future deduced by the Supremes, he truly did not fail to live up to the name of Heavenly Emperor. He had the ability to suppress all enemies in the world.
If he joined hands with Lin Qi, he really could stir up some trouble.
And it was precisely because of the Heaven-Abandoning Emperor’s extraordinary nature.
That the Supremes had laid plans in advance, making him bury himself in that Kongxiang Temple early, bringing the Heaven-Abandoning Emperor into the world ahead of time, so that he could lurk beside the Heaven-Abandoning Emperor, exert influence, and observe in secret.
Correct.
In the earliest deductions and schemes targeting Lin Qi.
The Heaven-Abandoning Emperor had not been the first Heaven’s Mandate, slain by Lin Qi within the Dream Bubble Shadow.
