Although the Demon Lord and Yuan Hong had suddenly appeared, catching Meng Qi somewhat off guard,
the outcome was, without a doubt, as perfect as it could be.
Not only had Gu Xiaosang replaced Maitreya, but he had even obtained Lamp-Burning Buddha's Illusory Dao Fruit!
Lamp-Burning Buddha was an exceptionally powerful figure even among the Fortune realm. If he had possessed Cause of All Fruits, he would have long since attained the Other Shore.
Meng Qi was a little dazed by suddenly receiving such a huge gift.
Moreover, it was precisely because the four Other Shore wills—the Azure Emperor, Fu Huang, the Human Emperor, and Bodhi—had successively intervened and restrained one another that this unique situation had arisen!
At the same time, Meng Qi couldn't help feeling a faint sense of wonder.
"The clashes between the wills of the Other Shore are what truly matter. Everything below that is just a minor detail..."
If even one of the four wills that had intervened had been absent, the entire outcome would have been reversed in an instant!
Yet just then, Meng Qi suddenly felt a stirring in his heart. A power that resonated with him surged forth from the direction of Spirit Mountain!
"Someone took advantage of the Other Shore wills restraining one another to do something..."
Meng Qi's eyes shifted slightly, and a sudden realization dawned on him.
"The Devil Buddha!"
Someone had taken advantage of the situation to undo the Devil Buddha's seal and set him free!
After all these years, the seal on the Devil Buddha had already begun to fail. Through his schemes, he had even managed to exert influence over the outside world.
But to undo it so easily, whoever had intervened must have been quite powerful.
"It was Lu Ya."
Tao Yu's voice rang out.
