By normal logic, if Destiny had personally appeared to protect herself, that meant this Trial definitely wouldn't be easy.
Otherwise, why would she break through the present world and descend in person before the Trial had even begun?
Blasphemy was one thing, and joking another, but Cheng Shi had to take seriously the guidance brought to him by Destiny's descent. That was why he was being so cautious.
Even though the magic formation was on the verge of being broken, he didn't rush to do anything. He merely shook his head, signaling everyone to keep watching and first see how the person hidden beneath the formation would react to Pelaya's appearance.
He hadn't forgotten what Pelaya's reflection had said. The Grand Scholars of the Scholarly Council might very well be using the Desolate Walker's body to construct a space-time connection between it and Pelaya, allowing them to trace back into the past and stop her rebellion.
Therefore, it was certain that the Grand Scholars' target was Pelaya in the past, not the Pelaya currently breaking the formation.
After all, stopping her in the past would at least prevent Tusnat from being conquered so quickly, giving the Grand Scholars more time to salvage everything.
But Pelaya's appearance now might trigger another problem—the one Pelaya's reflection had mentioned. If the Grand Scholars could capture Pelaya, they might directly use her to construct a space-time connection with Galiusha, tracing back even further into the past to stop Galiusha!
