Chapter 829: Chapter 827: The Final Tribulation 2

The Demon Buddha laughed heartily, then turned and descended into the Lord God's Space, issuing commands, sending down Lord God missions, and ordering the many Reincarnators to prepare the sacrificial altar.

Once the Demon Buddha left, Yuyao could no longer hold back, and said to Lin Qi.

“How can this be?”

“How did Peerless offer up his spiritual light and run off to help him Return to Void?”

“Don’t panic. This was always part of the plan.”

Lin Qi signaled Yuyao not to get worked up, and lowered his head, intending to try prying the Sea-Calming Divine Pearl off the Twenty-Four Celestial Wheels.

Unfortunately, he couldn’t.

This made Lin Qi somewhat anxious.

Because he was quite certain there had to be something strange about these Twenty-Four Celestial Wheels the Demon Buddha had given him.

If they were just used directly for the sacrifice.

If it was merely some subtle, imperceptible influence on Dream Bubble Shadow, then so be it.

At least it could wait until later.

But if the hidden hand within the Twenty-Four Celestial Wheels was aimed at him.

That was very possible.

After all, everyone knew the Buddhist order had quite a knack for brainwashing — ah, no, for salvation.

Lin Qi naturally had to guard against it.

What?

You say that since you know there’s something fishy in the Twenty-Four Celestial Wheels, why not just avoid using them?

That wouldn’t work.

Because this itself was very likely the Supreme Ones’ final test.

They might not have truly discovered the truth of Lin Qi and Heaven-Abandoning Emperor’s deception, their mutual swap.

But as long as the ‘Heaven-Abandoning Emperor’ Lin Qi played could not pass Their tests and trials.

Then he would likewise fail to earn Their trust, let alone make Them loosen Their control over Lin Qi.

If that happened.

The identity swap between Lin Qi and Heaven-Abandoning Emperor would lose much of its meaning.

So if he truly wanted to break free of his shackles, and from then on leap like a fish in the sea, fly like a bird in the sky.

This final test and trial was something Lin Qi could not evade.

Suddenly, Lin Qi’s heart stirred, and his anxiety vanished.

…

The mortal world.

The world had undergone a great change, and the planet was reviving.

The giant face condensed from the vast will of heaven, after swallowing the spiritual light offered by the Peerless Young Master in one gulp, instantly fled into the planet’s core.

A single point of spiritual light drifted, then bolstered by the will of heaven, rapidly re-condensed a body.

The Peerless Young Master, face full of shock, shook his hands and feet, somewhat unable to believe what he was seeing — the vast orb of light before him, filled with purple radiance.

That vast orb of light was naturally the will of heaven and the Heart of Heaven, woven from the greater part of Lin Qi’s Primordial Spirit.
